They're not going to be any shortcuts.

We're not where we want to be on just about everything.

One of the things we wanted to do was to communicate the enormity of the task.

Right now, we're just in the middle of trying to find ourselves, that's where we are. We're not a bad team but we're not an elite team either. We're in the middle with a lot of other teams. We have to work hard to make ourselves a great team and, right now, we have a lot of hard work to do.

I look at it like I have a long ways to go to catch the top guys, ... I want to stay hungry. I don't ever want to think that I reached or accomplished anything because I still have a long ways to go. There's the elite centers and then there's a second group. I'm in there right now so I have to keep working and climb my way to the top.

The most important thing about camp and the preseason will be getting some chemistry going with the new guys. Last year, we knew where everyone was going to be on a certain play, how they were going to react to a certain defense or where they wanted a pass. It's going to take some time before we have that again.
