They've got guys in backup roles on that line there that would be starting for other teams,

We've got a good system in place. Guys know their roles, and we've got a capable backup. If Mike isn't 100 percent, then Matt will step right in.

This is the healthiest we've been on the offensive line. We've really survived this preseason without injury, and that's been a first for us.

Other teams were starting to close the gap so we got those big two points. Now the guys are going over (to Turin) and are going to play in the Olympics and the other guys are going to get a break and we'll get going again after.

The thing is the guys battled. They didn't stop. I think the team as a group are fairly resilient, fairly together. I don't see them cracking in spite of any of the adversity we face.

I'm not the only one hurting in (the locker room) when I talk to the team. Those guys are very, very disappointed. They realized what was at stake today in regard to the division, we had a chance to get evened up in the division with our NFC record, and the Reggie White scenario was huge for us. There was plenty of motivation.
