I feel good, obviously anxious to get going. Those last couple of starts always seem to drag on a little bit. It's going to be fun, we have a good team and to see where we stand here in the first month is going to be fun.
I feel like it's over and done with. The one thing I've learned in the past is if I miss one start and get it taken care of and if I make 34 starts instead of 35, then it's probably the right thing to do. Hopefully this is something when I look back, I'll hardly remember at the end of the year.
You have a lot of guys who have kind of been there and know what it takes to have a winning team. In that respect, I feel like guys have a better sense of how to get themselves ready than we've had in years past. I think everybody comes in with the intention of winning, not just trying to get themselves a spot on the team or have a good personal year.
We've reached the point where we need to start being responsible for winning and losing and start moving past the development stage,
We were optimistic in how quick I could have come back. I don't think it's gotten any worse. It has just taken longer than we thought.
With every player there's a certain point where it all starts to click. A lot of it is just learning yourself and what works for you.
It's the chance to be here for another five years that I didn't want to pass up.
It was nice to have that peace of mind. It's something I don't think we would have had done if (not for the insurance).
It was nice, especially for him. We're pretty similar and it was good to be able to tell him what we have here and to have a couple guys on a staff that you get along with well is nice. I was excited about it just to have a chance to be involved with that process.
It's nice to have that. We feel good about what we have here but we still feel like there's some holes that need to be filled.
It's frustrating and the tough part was that we tried everything we could do to get back,
It's frustrating. We tried to do everything we could to get back as soon as possible. Unfortunately there's not a whole lot you can do. Sometimes you just got to let things run its course.
It's frustrating. We tried to do everything we could to come back. This is something that needs to run its own course.
It's frustrating. I feel like as well as we've gone I could have helped and still could from here on out.
