I thought I went fast enough that as long as I had him going I wouldn't give anyone a chance to even get close to him.

Mark Shapiro

I wouldn't say I'm surprised by Cliff's development, but I am a little surprised by the pace of it. He's an extremely competitive guy. He's made a ton of adjustments since last season, but I don't think anyone could have anticipated (that he'd get this good, this fast).
