I don't believe in feeling good about being close. Close ain't winning. We felt like we should have won that game, could have won that game, but just didn't come through when we had to.

We've been getting hammered a little bit. It's almost like we're not going to contribute to whatever happens this season. Guys are going to step up to the challenge this year, take it upon ourselves as a defensive unit to go out there and get it done. You'll see a big change in us this season.

Everybody wants to be a hero, so to speak. But it takes everybody. Those four downs, it was somebody different on those four plays. It was a team effort.

We're a good team, I believe. I think we can turn this around.

That's one of the breakdowns that I am talking about. We went over all that stuff this week. Everybody understood what we had to do. ... Nobody picked him up. That's on us as a defense.

I thought we played pretty well, but we just didn't make enough plays. That was the thing we've got to do at all costs, we've got to get the ball back (for the offense).
