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.

Being what we are, human beings, the natural tendency is that when everybody brags about you, they write good things, you kind of read about it and you back off a little bit. We couldn't play with them last time.
We think that right now we got a core group of players that are extremely hard working. Now, how good we're going to be, how many games we're going to win? That remains to be seen.
We're counting on Sean being here. We had a good talk about it today. We're both on the same page.
We certainly accomplished a lot this year. We were 6-10 last year, and the facts speak for themselves this year. We got a lot of good things done.
I was very pleased with both starting groups there, ... It's still preseason, but we needed a good lift.
When I told (my wife) Pat (that I was coming back), she said you're going to ruin your good name. After the first year, we're halfway there.
I thought Mark looked real good on Friday. But hopefully he'll be able to take more work this week. We'll need to start this game off absolutely sharp, playing against Tampa. They have one of the best defenses in the league.
We have a lot we need to improve on, ... We've got a long ways to go. Certainly, I don't think anybody here feels like we're satisfied with our passing game or our rushing game right now, so I think you try to do a good job of analyzing it. But certainly our work, and what we're concentrating on, are ways to get more production. I would say across the board we need to step it up. I don't think anyone is satisfied with what we're doing.
We'll probably look at the film tomorrow and see some real good things, but right now we're our own worst enemy,
From Mark's standpoint, when he was playing last year we weren't as good certainly as we are now, ... I think we're better now. And hopefully that will prove out to be the case.
One thing about Patrick is he's a real good student. I think he's smart, and kind of knows when you put in the game plan that he's got a feeling for it.
What David is, is a very, very good route runner, ... He's showed that he's got patience. He's got really good hints, which normally means you're a real good route runner, when you can go in there and just have a natural way of selling something. All it is is a little hint, but you see the defender take a big bite off of it. He's got real good instincts that way, and he's been around a long time and is just one of the hardest-working, high-quality guys you want to be around.
