  1. What do you feel you've improved on since last season?

"Consistency. That was my main goal coming into this training camp, was to be consistent with everything. I think that's what I have improved on."

  1. What kind of opportunity do the preseason games present for you?

"Preseason games are important for a lot of different players, and everybody is in their own level of play like a fifth -ear player, first-year or a rookie. It's not that you have to prove anything, it's just another opportunity to show the whole league what you can do."

  1. What goals have you set for yourself this year?

  1. How do you stay focused through the long days of training camp?

"I keep my head in the book and try to take it one day at a time. I try to focus on one thing at a time every day. Let's say on the first day you mess up something, the next day you try to correct that mess-up. You have to keep building as you go."

  1. Some of your teammates have been saying the motto for this season is "Playoffs or Bust." What's your take on that?

"I know a lot of other people have expectations for this team and for the guys here, but I think these guys have their own expectations for themselves. In order for us to do that, we have to put that on ourselves."
