Everett is not as strong as they were in the past. It was a good learning experience for us and it gave us a chance to bounce back from our mistakes.

I'm ready. I'm excited to take over. The past two years were a good learning experience and now I'm ready to take that to the field.

I was kind of skeptical at first. But Chris explained it would be a learning experience for all of us.

This is a young group. It's a good learning experience for us.

This was a good learning experience for us. This game was a carbon copy of the Gulf game (a 62-28 loss for NCT). It was a more athletic team that got us into a tempo we didn't want to get into. We don't normally get to see a team like this and we can't simulate this in practice and until you get use to seeing that on a regular basis, it's hard to get use to dealing with it.

I wasn't really pleased on how we came out against Hamilton. But it was a great learning experience for us.
