Coach Maurice:  On how they played in the first game following a long road trip.  The pre-game ceremony/Grey Cup and what it did for the Jets.  What did he like better, the five goals or limiting the Stars chances?  The defensive effort.  Have they grown into a team that can blow the doors off teams?  Has the team grown enough defensively that now they can focus on offense?
