That was a very good first opportunity, but we were piping in crowd noise that day. We don't have to this time.
Mark Sanchez got knocked around a little bit, which was good for him for the first time.
I think he's definitely in that vein, ... Obviously he's got a long ways to go before we can say he's as great a player as those guys, but he has the potential and to be as good as anyone who's ever played.
I have great respect for Walt and all the stuff he has done. For years, I have been calling him to ask him what's up, how to do this and how to do that. He is a really good football coach.
LenDale White got asked about 30 questions to try to get him to say something. He was true to his word the whole way through and somebody thinks they got something out of him. Our guys are great, competitive kids and they want to play and they want the ball. I think that's a really good attribute.
This was a very important game for us. We needed to show everybody that we could play better than we did last week. Our guys did a good job of that today.
This was a tremendous success and we accomplished more because of this event. Camp is completed and I feel good about it.
(UA) played really hard, and they had a very good defense, ... Their scheme is very solid. They know how to mix their looks and their pressures. They came after us and were really effective. We respect the heck out of what they are doing and what they are capable of doing.
Do I feel like they are threatening us, and are going to give us a hard time? ... Absolutely, it doesn't matter who we are playing. I don't think it is because of who we have playing, I think they have a loaded up offense. They have a really good philosophy with how they run their offense. I don't think it has to do with our personnel right now. That isn't what I am concerned about. I am concerned about teaching the game plan, and executing it well so we can hopefully give them some problems. I feel pretty much the same every week about that.
It was a good scrimmage for our young guys.
That really helps us because we come up with a really fast, big, strong, good playmaking guy who can play in a spot where we've been really thin.
It seems like California has been right behind us for a while, and we talked about kind of separating a little bit. For all the right reasons, it's good to come up here and get a win.
We're in great shape, and everything is going to work out for the long haul. I'm not looking. I don't care about those opportunities. ... This is a good time for this. There'll be a tremendous amount of movement in the NFL a week from now.
We didn't have a very big crowd, and there wasn't much enthusiasm about our opener. But we got off to a good start, and we got a win, but we had to savor it because we didn't get another one for a long time.
