I think there will be guys, and you hope one of them slips to us but you don't want to get into a situation where you try to manufacture something. I've been through that and it's not the way you want to go.

It?s about being consistent and staying steady instead of going up and down and up and down. That?s the sign of a (good) defense. Right now, we?re not showing that consistency level.

This is a guy who studies the game and works at his trade. He's all about winning. When we talked, the money had nothing to do with it. He wanted to know what our plan was about winning. He came in well informed and made a good decision for himself. I think this is going to be a beautiful marriage for us.

On our road to five (wins), we had to have this one. We told the guys this week that we've played too hard not to get paid. I told them that it's Friday night. It's time to get paid.

I think it's a great accomplishment for these guys. To match what last year's team did is a hard thing to do. I don't care what league you are in.

I think that'll continue and I hope that ... guys just get more and more adventurous.
