His spirits are OK. He's OK. Obviously, he's not great. I think that's the best you can say.

We moved the ball well all preseason, but we've shot ourselves in the foot too. We're not playing our best football right now, and I don't want us to play our best right now.

I think anything from the 36-yard line and in, I'm not going to blink. I think he's shown enough consistency from 54 that it doesn't bother me anymore.

We obviously put ourselves in too deep of a hole early on.

I was like, 'I guess that means everything's OK, ... And I'll tell you as a coach, when your kicker clanks the field goal, walks up and winks at you, you feel pretty good about it. I really like Paul. I think he is doing a great job.

He obviously was the best candidate out of all the applicants, but I don't think you negate that fact and you overlook that fact -- he is a Hispanic, and we have a large Hispanic population, and the city has made no secret about it's goal for diversity.
