Friday's going to be a big game for us with both of us 1-1 in district. So far this season I'm proud of the progress we are making right now.

I've farmed all my life and had livestock killed by coyotes and mountain lions, so I can see both sides of it. It's easy for you and me to say that the guy should give up some grapes to the bears, but he's the one making the mortgage payment.

It was pretty simple, really. They did a better job up front than we did on both sides of the ball. Jason was on his back just about every time we tried to do anything more than a three-step drop. . . . And we we're unable to get to Stafford and he had all kinds of time to find his receivers.

They're both mental sports. You make one mistake and it can mess up your whole day. In both, you have to learn to deal with it.
