case confident definitely goals knows offense rarely realistic
I think it is definitely a realistic goal; that is why he set the goal. You very rarely set goals that you don't think you can actually achieve. I think in his case he knows it's possible, and he's confident in his ability. And this offense can get him to 2,000 yards. It's definitely a challenge, but it is definitely there for him.

The biggest difference is our expectation level. We were sitting at 1-2 last year, and, I think, a lot of guys didn't know what to expect. We didn't know what kind of team we had yet.
beat crazy definitely fans feeling motivated team time
We're definitely motivated to beat them and to show him that we are a better team than he thought at the time of the draft. And, more importantly, the fans are feeling crazy about it and we don't want to let them down.

When we get the lead big enough, they're going to come out and throw the ball. That puts us in situations where we can pressure.
