We were just so tense that we couldn't get anything going. We wanted to do so well we hurt ourselves. Runyan, the veteran and thereby unofficial spokesman of the group, said it isn't any fairer to judge his line's performance based on yesterday's game than it was to go by what happened in Dallas.

This game has so many extremes, you can't spend too much time on any of them. Expectations are something you have to get over. Expectation and potential are words people use, but they're not reality until you go out and prove it. The big challenge is next week, coming off this low. It's going to be a game we need to win.
