On not having Calvin Johnson
"We will not go into the game saying that there is this guy and make sure that there are 10 ways to get him the football. I think that it will have a good change in game plans."

On the team
"I love our experience and leadership. I think that they are going to accept challenges, without any frustrations. It's a mindset that has unfolded over the years. This group gets it, more than most of them. Senior leadership is strong, and if they get it, the rest of the guys will follow along."

On the keys to the season
"Turnover margin, sack margin, big play margin, all those kinds of things. Offense, defense, and special teams. We need to be solid in all three phases."

On Tashard Choice carrying the load
"We will be balanced. Did he have as many yards at the end of the season because he didn't get as many carries early on, or could he have had more yards if we gave him more carries? You can what if yourself to death."
