I think it's in our best interest to play Miami as early in the season as possible,

Miami has a decent shot ... I have the opportunity to play early.

I just think to try to put Miami in a 13-week season, our schedule is tough enough as it is. If there are 14 weeks, that gives you another open date to play with there. That's why we did it. I think the series is good for the state, and so does Paul Dee. But it's just not a series that's going to work out on a regular basis.

We show up way early so we can get on the front row and get the best seats possible.

It's too early for me [to give up on the season],

We always used to say if something happens early in the season, the backup quarterback is best prepared because he's had all of training camp. Now what we say is the next best thing for it to happen, if it has to happen, is during the bye. Because it gives you your second chance to get him back in the rhythm.
