Ben Leber Year Quotations

That's one thing we want to do this year, start off solid right away. It took a while last year to find our identity. A lot of it had to do with the new defense. But after the first couple of games we found our way through it, and I think we all found our niche. We found our roles and fed off everyone else.

At the time it was kind of a slap in the face to not only this organization but the whole NFL and the way the draft works, ... Everybody knows the best guy's going to go to the worst team from the year before. If everybody had a choice and said, 'Hey, I don't want to play there,' then we'd have to (make) some major changes.

This year at 1-2, our expectations are so much higher. We know the caliber of team we have, and we know we can be very, very competitive.
