There are a lot of ways you can do that, and that's why I'm not saying, ... I don't want to say anything at this point.
There are 13 games left, ... We have to have a little spirit, and we have to go play.
We only put three points on the board. We had some opportunities but we just couldn't quite get it done.
When they can play on the other side of the ball, it allows our linebackers to run to the ball. When that's happening, all of a sudden, a lot of good things are going to happen.
We actually recovered that one, ... so we were all right.
When you spot a team that many points in the first half, it's difficult to win, ... You can't play ball like that on the road. It was way too much. We kind of had our fate handed to us early.
You look at the league and 25% of your team will not come back. Guys will retire, there are salary-cap restrictions and guys just don't meet the team's needs. That's a fact; your team will change.

One of them is you've got to get the crowd out of it. We've always been behind, and that's a little bit of our problem, too.
We'll get better as the year goes on, ... We've got a young, athletic front seven, and we play with a lot of energy and enthusiasm as a football team. I think that's what people will notice about us -- but hopefully they won't notice us for a while.
Well, first of all, you've got to get there. That's very, very difficult.
