It is not OK to fumble. That is not acceptable in this program. It is never going to be OK when you screw up. You have to have a certain amount of accountability and responsibility in the way you take the field and the way you play. I think that is something Chris has learned. I think he will be a more accountable player.

We feel we can really take the program to the next level with Willie.

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

Yes, it was a fumble, if that's what you're asking, ... It's not sour grapes. It's just what it is.

Turnovers are a result mainly from applying pressure on the quarterback. Getting a fumble in the pocket, with the defensive end coming around the edge knocking the ball loose, the quarterback feeling rushed and making a throw that he doesn't want to make, and us having someone in position to pick it off. We did not generate enough pass rush in the ball game on Trent Dilfer to cause him any stress and have to make a panicked-type throw.

I'm not OK., you're not OK., and that's OK.!
