We have to really start putting a lot of time into our evaluation of college players. We've put a lot of time into the pro side because of free agency and how fast it works.

We put a lot of work into it. I credit our coaching staff for working hours you wouldn't believe. They really did their homework. We used Charley's scouting background, and I don't think Jay has had a day off since I got the job. I feel sorry for him. He's got this young rookie head coach that he's always got to be telling what we're doing next. He's done a really good job of putting us into position to do this.
