It's about par for the course for us. We're doing all right. We have to fill some big holes. There are a lot of question marks.

I think right away (following the two wins), you could see what they did (to us). We went into Minnesota with a lack of urgency. I don't know whether that's carried on, but (the Red Wings) took the opposite approach and they've been working hard since then.

They were throwing everything at us. Their guns sounded like cannons and our guns sounded like pop guns.

This is a court of law, not TV. Consider the testimonial evidence.

I liked the direction this whole organization is going, and being close to home made it exciting for me. There's a lot of opportunities for young guys here. They didn't guarantee me anything. I'll just work as hard as I can and hopefully the pieces will fall into place.

We have some backs that are good runners, but our offensive line is really coming on. That was one of our questions coming into the season, and we've got some guys that are really stepping up.
