Being on teams that won in the past I can kind of sense when a team has the pieces in place to win and win it for a while. And, with the youth we have and the depth, the experience and the talent we definitely can win here for a while.

We were distraught. But we have never gotten down on ourselves as a team.

I'm having a blast, ... I think just having a fresh start, coming to a new team; the energy that this team has and the organization has as far as expectations. The guys I'm around are just great guys. This year I'm having the most fun I've had in any year in the league.

If you look at the better teams in the league when they get a team down they finish out the game. That's kind of what separates us from those teams right now is playing 48-minute games.

That's just what I felt. Now I'm on the good side. It felt a little weird at first, but it's an adjustment that I can make. It felt good to put on the purple and get out there with the fans. They embraced me.

We played well early on. The first couple of drives, we knocked them out. But we got a little worn down as the first half went along.
