These are guys that are going to be able to go year in and year out for the next couple of years. I'm really excited for them.

A lot of it was (Carson Palmer) just throwing it up. Sometimes you've just got to cover somebody. At the same time, I guess, since it's a team effort, we didn't get enough pressure on the quarterback.

On paper, we have the ability to be a top-three defense. That's on paper. Now we have to go out and do it.

In the back of your mind, you're going, 'oh shoot, here we go again,' ... You might want to doubt yourself for a while again. But then you re-group. And think that it's good that it happened early in the season. It gives us a chance to have our identity in place by the time the season starts September 11.

Everything is going to come down to what defense plays the best, and which is going to make the least amount of mistakes. It's definitely going to be a defensive struggle.

There's a big difference mentally between being 1-1 and 0-2. This, to me, is a game we have to have.
