Honestly, I didn't keep up with that situation a whole lot. I found out, I guess, when everybody else did. |
I set my goals before each season -- spring and fall. My goals this spring were not to win a job or to make the first team. My goals were to keep on improving and not to look too far ahead. |
I think that's a good thing to start. That's a base. ... If you're a guy that's dependable and doesn't make mistakes, you're going to get on the field. |
It comes down to guys have to fill spots. The less guys you have to fill spots, the more opportunity there's going to be. |
That we have a teammate who may not be with us next year. I'm still not sure what's going on or how it's going to end up. |
When I came in, Coach [Al] Golden told me that, in about two or three years, things would open up pretty nicely as far as me having an opportunity to contribute. |
When I first came here, there were still a lot of things I didn't know, especially about the 3-4. Last spring, I studied every night and came in an hour before practice to make sure I knew everything that was going on. |
