Cliff had a good year last year, and this is a free agent year. You won't hear that from him, though. He is so team-oriented.

I'm working toward a level of consistent production. I was pleased with last year but not satisfied. I will feel better if I can put two or three years together like it in a row.

He puts a lot of pressure on himself. I think that was part of the reason for him struggling last year.
