I can't wait to get things rolling. Can we be contenders? Yes. Can we play defense? Yes. My expectations are always high.

My expectations (for season) are to play . . . to get on the field and be a playmaker. However they want to use me, special teams, backup help, whatever, I want to be a playmaker.

Scoring, that's something that comes and goes. I figure if I play solid defense and do the little things, it helps your team win games.

That's what we try to do. We definitely wanted to get after it and play tough defense, and tonight I think we got out and got going a little better than we have lately.

We always play hard on defense. I wouldn't want to play us. We are undefeated in league, and we are feeling good.
