I purposely didn't really ask Bob how he did things, ... I wanted to go out on my own.

I keep telling the guys, 'Last year we had a good defense. It kept us in a lot of games and gave us a chance to win every game but one, and I think that's what a good defense should do,' ... But at the same time, when we started camp here Aug. 5, we had to start over.

They heard me saying a lot of things, some of which you can't print,

It just so happened that the position that was available was the secondary, ... and I told him I would like to take it.

It may have brought new blood into me for all I know.

Absolutely, ... Is it a move to make another move, or is it the right move? If it's a move to make another move, then I really don't need to do it.
