Lovie Smith Bit Quotations

We're confident. It's been awhile since we've been 3-3 and where the next game means quite a bit. We're just trying to get respect. The NFC North has talked quite a bit about the records. But I see it getting better and I think we're leading the charge.

Last year we had quite a few sacks ... I think 66 or so. This year we gave up 31. Quite a bit of an improvement on that side.

I think they definitely should shop him and get him out of the division. I don't know if that is the case or not. I just know he's an excellent football player. He's caused us to stay up quite a bit trying to defend him.

We're talking a lot about Kyle, but I'm excited about what Jeff will be able to do for us too. We will play Jeff quite a bit in this game. He will get the majority of the reps for this game. He hasn't gotten as many reps as Kyle, so this is an important week for him.

It's good to have our players. We know who they are. Third year, we're not wondering what position to put players in. We're just concentrating on improving each individual player and going a little bit farther this coming season.

The cornerbacks get behind. They can go through a spell where they misjudge the ball. It's no more than that for Charles. We're not going to completely change his game. The next time we play, he'll be in a little bit better position.
