defensive eight football half harder lead looked lost running rush second
This was a football decision. It's harder to find a defensive end than running backs. When we looked at our team, we've got to get better on offense, but we've got to get better on defense, too. In eight games, we lost the lead in the second half because we couldn't rush the passer.

I think that if Reggie Bush wasn't in this draft, Mario Williams would be head and shoulders the first pick in this draft.

On Thursday, we made a decision to go with Mario, and we said that if we could get him, then let's sign him. We were confident we could have worked a deal with Bush, too, but we made the decision to go with defense over offense because our pass rush hasn't been what it needed to be.
