Overheard

"Once you get playing time and have success, you don't want to give that up. I want to be the third receiver this year, and I expect to be when this is all said and done."

- Dane Looker, on the stiff competition at wideout.

"I enjoy the enthusiasm he brings to the game. He explains it to you in ways that I understand. I think he is only going to make the linebacking corps that much better."

- Pisa Tinoisamoa, on new linebackers coach Joe Vitt.
