    Obviously, we didn't tackle and we weren't physical. We stopped them very few times. We were poor in every category. We gave up big plays, especially in the running game. We didn't get off the field on third down. We just didn't get the job done. We got whipped in every facet. We didn't get any turnovers. We have to go work, look at what we're doing everywhere and get better.

I'd hate to see real restrictive levy limits when we need to spend money. That's why any construction project, or anything like that, would have to be put on hold.

    I'd like to sit and talk to him between innings when I'm pitching. It keeps my mind off the game a little. Most of the time, I like to talk not about the game, but something else. The last couple years it was a little hard because Leo wasn't like that. He's really into the game. So I'd talk to whoever sat next to me. We'd talk about anything.
