(Ray) wasn't going to say anything. But to me, it was up to the staff to say, |
[Saturday] shows how great we can be, but we know we made a lot of mistakes. But when we get those mistakes eliminated, it's time for teams to watch out. |
For a defensive line, that's terrible, ... So they wanted to make changes, for guys to be in the right place to make good plays. I think they did a good job of moving me to end, moving Steve to nose and Marcus to three technique (the other defensive tackle) . . . I think this is my year. I worked hard in the offseason, I busted my butt. |
He's always had the desire to play the best that he could, but those injury problems, a lot of people didn't know about, |

I love moving to end. I know my coaches are going to have nothing but my best interests for me. I know they love me like I love them and they want to see me do my best. |

I'll definitely be ready for next week, ... I'm about to go get some rehab right now, get my knee back as strong as it was before. And I'll definitely be ready for the Georgia game. |
It is a more natural position for me. I'm looking forward to playing defensive end. |
It was bad, |
It's a lot more fun. We blitz a lot more. We really utilize our speed and we're using a lot better technique than what we were using last year. This blitzing defense really shows you we have a lot of speed on defense. |
The coaches brought this family-oriented environment in and all of us just gel together. The closer you are, the harder you play for each other. It's really affected me and how I play. It's contagious. When one guy makes a play, everyone wants to make a play. |
