Jake Delhomme struggled last year, and knows that he'll be questioned about it as the 2009 season begins. "I didn't play well and I'm the first one to admit it. Then you ask yourself, 'Would I have done anything different preparation-wise or practice-wise?' The answer is 100 percent 'no'. I would have done the exact same thing, because it was the same way I've been preparing to play since I've been a starter. It wasn't our night, and it wasn't my night," Delhomme said. "It's easy for me to say, 'I'll forget about it,' but no, because it burns, it bothers you. Sometimes when you want something so bad, you don't just get it right away. You have to get knocked down. I know myself, I'm looking to get back up."
