I think it was a good experience for me, just to see another culture. My mother's Korean, so I got to see that side of my heritage. |
It is tougher to do than it looks. You have to be able to recognize who's going to block you, beat that guy, and then go down and make a one-on-one tackle, which is one of the hardest things to do. The returners in the NFL are the best, fastest, quickest guys in the league. |
It was maybe just about 100 people (at a game) — families and all that. I was probably one of the best players over there, but the competition wasn't that great. |
It's a lot of trust in each other and knowing that your guy next to you is going to be there to help contain or make the play. Everybody has a role. It's a matter of maintaining your zone. You've just got to be smart and know when you can do that kind of stuff, be a kamikaze and know when they're trying to set you up and (not) run yourself out of a play. |
That's what I had to do in college in order to even get on the field. You have to learn quickly what is going to get you on the field. |
They take a lot or pride in special teams around here. I've only been on one other team (Giants) and they put a lot of emphasis on it, too, because it does mean a lot. Field position does matter in determining winning and losing a game. |
