We don't look at Eric as a rookie coordinator. He had a lot of input. We have a lot of input. They've very open to suggestions.
defending season
We're not defending anything, because we don't have anything. (This) is a new season, just like 2005 is a new season for the Raiders.
caught feeling good history means past soon start
We're not caught up in history because what we've done in the past means nothing. As soon as you start feeling good about yourself, that's when you've set yourself up for failure.

It definitely affects the way you prepare because you never know who is going to be in there. It affects the communication. However, everyone has to be ready and that's no excuse.
