(Having a proven winner returning at quarterback) makes you feel very confident about your offense, ... But the thing that offsets that confidence is the fact that as a coach you're always scared to death that your number one quarterback, who is really outstanding, is going to become injured.

Our goals remain the same which is to be a perennial playoff contender.

But this group wants to emerge from the shadow of last year's team and create it's own identity. In a lot of ways the lead-up to the 2006 season is more exciting because there is an element of the unknown.

We've got two new guards, but basically there's a lot of guys returning - and we had 190 yards rushing against them and we controlled the game with our running game. I think they have to be concerned about that. I know they don't want to have that happen to them again.

We had way too many turnovers last week. That's something we focused on this week. Our offense is getting better every day but it's still a young group.

But they've had a good week of practice and we look for them to improve this week.

We have a large core of returning players who have played together for a number of years. That's good. It makes things a little easier.
