Any time you're playing against the best, with the type of people we have on our offensive line, it brings out the best in us. |
He knows how to avoid a blocker. He's got the speed. He's got enough power that he can compress the pocket. |
He's a 335-pound ballerina. He's so light on his feet, he could run right by you with your back to him and you wouldn't even hear him. |
He's a 6-5, 315-pound ballerina that plays offensive tackle. |
He's a 6-foot-5, 315-pound ballerina that plays tackle. He's not a loudmouth. He just does his job. I wish young football players in Pop Warner and high school could see this guy prepare. |
I was really fortunate. Tom created a great group of linemen and it was my job was not to screw it up. |
The best news is that we didn't lose him. Steve likes playing in Seattle. He's the cornerstone of our line with [left tackle] Walter [Jones]. |
The four of us will reminisce about West Portal Avenue, playing basketball at West Portal Middle School, the St. Ignatius-Lincoln battles and all the All-City players we played against. |
You don't see him on the ground very much. He has that spirit that he never wants to get beat. Even in practice. |
