[That lasted all of] a day, ... After that I was on the scout team - defensive end, matter of fact. I guess I was too aggressive, man. |
I don't know. We've got to find it, though. |
I expected it, ... Like I say, I think I was overlooked last year, but I've been getting a lot of opportunities for a lot of people to recognize me, and I'm trying to take advantage of every last one. |
I think it is a little different role for James this year. He's stepping in and filling in where we really need him right now. He's stepping into the role and just trying to get better every day. |
I think it's going to be my year. Coaches feel it, and they're giving me a role where I can make plays and help the defense. |
I've been that way since I was a little kid. I've been blessed with a gift, |
It really wasn't that special, ... It was just helping out a fellow teammate. I knew the cornerback was going to be in a jam with the inside receiver running a little stick route, and I just tried to make a play and help him out. |
It's football, man. If you can't get motivated to play football you shouldn't be here. |
It's the atmosphere. Playing in front of 105,000, 95,000, 90,000. You get used to it so when you come to this level, you hit the ground running. |
Last year, at the end of the season, I had a great run. Now I've got more opportunities to be out on the field, and I'm just trying to take advantage of them. |
Orlando is a tough player. I like his leadership and I like his style of play. He has been around for a while and he has a lot of experience. He's with a young group of linebackers and I think he is really going to help us out. |
People really don’t know or they really ain’t watching, ... Got to give them something to see. |
That was something special. Those guys laid a lot on the line. You've got to give them their respect. I just had to tell them, 'Thank you.' They did a lot for us here, protecting us. |
That's why Coach Green brought me here, ... They saw me coming out of Auburn and I'm just trying to meet expectations. |
The second one was just (off of defensive end Chike Okeafor's ) pressure and tip, and I got a chance to make a play, ... I was a receiver (before), so it was natural. |
