It's what we've all known. There are certainly good players on teams in this neck of the woods, so it's no surprise to me.

Our neck of the woods

We had a really good start in our neck of the woods. Last year was a very different year.

We try to recruit good players and good people.

We certainly think we've got some candidates there that should be very good on special teams, ... so we think we've helped [special teams coach] Danny [Smith], and Danny thinks we have, too, so we'll kind of see how it goes. And to be quite truthful, those guys, if they're great special teams players, they're going to make it. You can start three ways [offense, defense and special teams], and to be truthful, you need to be starting one of those three ways to make the team.

Good teams find a way to win, and we feel like we're a good team. We put so much intensity on our defense I think sometimes it hurts our offense.
