It's devastating. But we can't lose the swagger. ... We're just going to have to pick up the pieces and keep rolling. No player wants that to happen to them, but that's part of the game.
You can't compete when one team has an open wallet and another team has both hands covering it up. It really can create disparity, not just at a club level, but at a player level as well.
We want them to know what it's like to be a leader, what it's like to be a team player because those things carry on in everyday life.
Hopefully what we were able to teach them will stick with them throughout their playing careers and throughout their lives.
We didn't play good, sound fundamental football. Jerry (Gray, the defensive coordinator) threw everything that was in our game plan, and obviously we didn't make plays. We have to be held accountable as players and make some plays.
This program will assist us in trying to help protect players from fraud and identity thieves. Professional athletes have always been prime targets of people who look to damage the lives of players by taking their identities and financially destroying them. This partnership will educate our membership on the importance of reviewing your credit report and monitoring your financial records on a regularly basis.
Technique is everything and we play a contact sport.

We missed a ton of tackles. I don't think we're pressing. But we didn't give the offense enough opportunities.
We felt there were many minorities that were worthy candidates. None went to minorities and that's an issue.
We wanted to emphasize character, being able to be coached, and listening to others.
Even though most of them will never be professional athletes, they can always control who they are the rest of their lives.
There's no reason why I shouldn't. In 2005, I want to be the best safety in the game.
