If we go to free agency without a CBA, I would say very few teams are going to be in play and be active. If you do have a CBA, there are going to be a lot of teams out there competing for players.
Right now, everybody is nervous. I would sure hate to see us go into free agency without (a new CBA) done. The other thing I'm hoping for is the date to be extended.
For all of us, the collective bargaining agreement is a big deal. We've seen everything in this league - strikes, free agency and salary caps. For some teams in the league, it's going to be tougher. We'll be one of the teams that it will be tough on.
There are different ways that people feel like it should be done. Any way that you can add a player -- I don't care if it's a trade, the draft, free agency -- I want to be aggressive. Free agency is a place where you make fewer mistakes because you're not trying to project somebody from a college environment to the pros. You've got somebody that has already played up here and been successful.
Somebody's going to get a real opportunity to play for us. There still may be a solid guy there (in free agency now or after the June 1 cuts) that we feel like might come up, but that's something everybody is concerned about.

The scheme they had on defense for us was something quite a few people up here can play,
I should have said, 'Hey, we've got several things we're going to turn in and want to look at with them,' ... 'We see it one way, and we'll see how they see it.' That should have been my comments, but I went specifically . . . I went over some things there that you can't.
I've been proud of our guys, the way they fight. We fight extremely hard.
Ethan's been around so long, it's a great credit to him. He might be as good a long-snapper as we've ever had. I put a lot of stock in snapping, and we pay him a lot of money to snap the ball.

Right now we're in a precarious situation, ... One thumb, and now we've got two, so that's not going to work out.
