I remember last year there were points where I got real tired and had breakdowns in my play. But now, I'm pretty consistent and can even play if I'm nicked up a bit. I'm strong enough to go out there now and put out 100 percent every day. |
I respect and appreciate him for coming across the country and playing at Florida. I think Ryan being away from his family and not playing as much was tough on him, and he saw that (since graduated guard) Anthony Roberson was coming back. |
I said I appreciated her phone call, but the reality was we were up to our butts in alligators already. We just really didn't have the ability to go beyond what we were already doing. And I said I was humbled that she'd chosen to call me. |
I said it at the beginning of the season -- (takeaways) was our main goal. We know we are a nasty defense. We know we are a good defense, but last year we didn't have enough takeaways. That's a focus for us this year, getting to the ball. |
I saw Jason coming off the edge and it was just instinct, trying to make a move and make him miss. And I did that. I thought he fell. I was running. I slowed down a little bit and then I felt somebody clip my feet and it was Jason Taylor. |
I saw my brother and I was like, I want to do that and build things. I pursued architecture stuff here in high school and I'm in class right now for the next step in that. A solid architectural engineering program is what I'm looking for. |
I saw the blitz coming. I saw the 1-on-1 over there. I wanted to give Justin a chance, but I just left the ball inside a little too much. It's tough when you know you're only playing a little bit; you try so hard to make something happen. |
I saw the enthusiasm there. And to be able to be a part of that, and come in with four other freshmen who were pretty good high-school players, we knew we were going to kind of set the tone for good recruits to come in on a regular basis. |
I should have spoken to you earlier, and I apologize for that. To all Belgian people, I want to say that I'm personally very sorry for any discomfort or inconvenience. My colleagues and I will be working very hard to earn you trust again. |
I spent time this winter working and talking about leadership with our team. Once we get back out on the football field we will see the leadership develop. It's important that when a group of seniors leave, a new group of leaders emerges. |
I started well, obviously, ... It's really important, especially against Andy, to start with a break. You can play really relaxed because he was not hurting me on my service games at all. I was serving well, playing well off the baseline. |
I still think we have a lot of work to do, but guys are getting more comfortable and coming into their own. We have a lot of guys mixing in and out of the offensive line. You're talking basically the fourth center we've had in four games. |
I talk as I sketch, too, in order to keep their minds off what I'm doing so I'll get the most natural expression I can from them. Also, the talking helps to size up the subject's personality, so I can figure out better how to portray him. |
I tell people all the time you can't have faith if you don't have hope. People sometimes criticize me, [they say] 'you are too positive,' but you've gotta have hope. Even if it doesn't happen today, I am one day closer to seeing it happen |
