The defense is playing ridiculous right now.

Jesse competes very well. We haven't been playing a lot of defense behind him. Tonight our defense showed up and played behind him. I thought he did an excellent job on the mound.

I've put myself out there on a limb and I've posed a challenge to every opponent I'm playing each week, ... They all understand it's all in fun. It's entertaining for the outside world. But for us, it's serious. It's work.

We won all three phases of the game —offense, defense and special teams.

Their offense is much better than their defense. We didn't want to let them in our zone. Our best defense was a good offense. We turned their 'D' and made it work hard. They weren't getting out of their zone very easily.

Everybody knows me for my defense, so I just kept focused.
