You talk about adversity, and I know you don't want to offer excuses, but when you look back you've had several key players who were kicked off the team or suspended. After three games in the season, do you realize now that has affected the performance of the team?
"I knew it wasn't going to be easy. You don't lose a Mike Brown and it not hurt you. You don't lose a Quentin Wesley who was playing as good as he has ever played and it not hurt you. Rodney Prince would have added significant depth to our defensive line. Anthony Johnson would have added depth to our secondary.
Jamon Hughes would be starting right now at middle linebacker with the loss of (Jamar) Chaney.</span></p>
<span class="storybody">"I knew those things were going to hurt us, but, at the same time, there is no use crying about it. Our guys made the mistakes that put us in this situation and we have to deal with it. I look at those things just like I do injuries."</span></p>
