Sandy Simpson Quotations

We've maintained our discipline and focus in preparation for games. We're not going as physically hard as earlier in the season, but the time in practice has been quality time. Not every team is capable of doing that.

Are they the team they've been for the last four or five years? Maybe not, but that means they're only a little bit better than everyone else. They've shown a bit of vulnerability, but it's too early for anyone to start dancing around the funeral pyre.

The league isn't as strong as it was last year. Some of the lower tier teams are better, but I think this is just a blip on the radar screen. ... We're still happy with what we've accomplished this year. We're doing things this year that we weren't doing last year. It shows that we've learned from our experience.
