We have to do much better than that. We need to average 3.5 to 4 yards per carry. If we can't do that it will be a long stretch for us. But I think we can. |
We haven't had the offensive production we have needed. We are looking for some consistency and being able to run the ball since we haven't had a lot of that. |
We need to play with the strongest teams now so that we can cover the gap between us and them as quickly as possible, |
We probably have more depth there than we ever have. |

We've always had little receivers, but a big fast guy is always better than a little fast guy. |
What you want to do is run the carpetbaggers up north empty-handed. |
When he got here he wasn't anything outstanding. |
When you are playing this building game, you don't concern yourself with the ones you don't get. You concern yourself with the ones you want. There were some that went somewhere that were comparable to us, but some that went to places bigger than us. |
