Everything is on the table. We didn't have the production we wanted late in the year. But we did make a big jump. It's a matter of evaluating everything and seeing the ways that we can help ourselves get more production. It's a little bit strategy, and it's certainly personnel.
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.
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.
Once you have a plan, you must sell it to the players. It is not enough to put it on the blackboard and say, 'Okay, here it is.' You have to convince the players that the plan is a good one and show them, in specific ways, why it will work. If you do, you send them out to the practice field with more confidence.
We always want to get him in the game plan. We always want to get him the ball. Last week against Dallas, he only had three catches, but they were all big. He was one of the keys to us offensively and we try to work hard to get him the ball.
With our free agents, we think we have the best place for them.
We would like to solve everything that we could on our football team in free agency. That way you go into the draft and you're freewheeling.
We saw him throw it, we saw him run with it, we saw him catch it, and certainly those are roles we want to expand. Our goal would be, with a guy like this, to try and get his hands on the ball.
We kept Mark out as a precautionary measure. He looked good this morning. We don't anticipate any problems.

We're our own worst enemy, ... I don't like the way we're playing. We turn the ball over and commit penalties. We're making too many mistakes and need to play smart to win football games we're supposed to win. That's why we're here. To win.
We had a couple of good talks. That's the only statement I want to make.
Trying to win five straight is a tough deal up here. Our backs have been against the wall for five weeks.
I don't think anybody has a handle on it. If they continue to move it, it would be a concern as the season gets closer.
