I've been told to do a job for the team... but I'm playing out of position and want to go up front.

It happens in every game and every team is doing it. I think in almost 80 per cent of tackles it happens to some degree.

It has been special to have a season like we have had so far. The team is playing well. We just want to keep this thing going as long as we possibly can.

We've been practicing and playing for more than five months. We told our guys at the beginning of the year that it was a marathon, not a sprint. Now, it's time to finish it. Our guys have been waiting all year for this.

We didn't do our job defensively. You put yourself in position for something strange happening. That team, we're supposed to beat by 20.

I just like to use the football analogy. I'm the head coach and my job is to direct the team down the field and throughout the game. But Vern and Todd are the star quarterback and the star defensive player. And Tracy is the all-conference player and my directors are the all-conference players. So it's very much a team-oriented thing. But yes, ultimately I'm the guy who has to decide what we cover and when.
