We have a little bit more latitude this year. We want to stay with the best player available. Everybody says it, but we really want to stay true to that.
We just didn't look like we were ready to play. We didn't play well, and we got beat in our backyard. We got our butts kicked. That leaves everybody with a bad taste. You can't have that happen in your backyard.
Even though there's a guy out there that looks obvious to everybody here, it's not necessarily in his mind his best option. We have to be mindful of that, as well.
Everybody else saw him as a role back. But we saw him as a featured back and our money stood behind that assessment.
Everybody liked John, but everyone said he was too slow. But when Tim had a conviction on a player, you knew it, and you bought into it.
