(Even) if I'd have won every award, it doesn't mean anything to these coaches (and) these players in the league. |
Anytime you get the quarterback, it feels good. |
Each year we go into the season and our main goal is to win the Big Ten championship and the national championship. We feel like that's an attainable goal every year. |
Everybody talked about giving Charlie Weis four weeks to prepare. That kind of upset me. What about giving coach Tress four weeks to prepare? He's four out of five in bowl games. |
He keeps you grounded and lets you know that regardless of what happens, don't ever get too upset about what someone says to you. If you have a bad game and someone's cutting you down, don't get down on yourself. If you have a great game, don't listen to them. Don't let your head get big because of it. |
He's one of the best run-stoppers I've ever seen. He's a missile to the ball. |
He's unbelievably fast. Seeing him, it's something else. |
I really haven't given it too much thought. Any team that wants me, I'll gladly go. Especially a team like Green Bay, with the tradition they have, the fans they have, it would be unbelievable. |
I think most teams would want me at the inside in a 3-4, from what I've heard. Either one I'd feel comfortable with. |
I think the linebacker position, with all the defenses they're playing, and with all the offenses you have to face - one week you're facing a spread offense and the next week a team is trying to pound the ball on you - you have to be able to do a little bit of everything. |
I think you always have to be aware of where he (Young) is and not turn your back on him. Some teams play man-to-man, turn their back and all of a sudden he's gone; he gets out of the pocket and scrambles. You've got to know where he is and know he can make something out of nothing at any time. |
I told all of the coaches here that we had two of the most physical safeties in the country playing behind me. I knew if I didn't make the tackle they were probably going to hit me on their way to make the tackle. So I had to get there first before them. |
I was trying to get to the ball. I play with 10 other guys who are really good. |
I'd be happy. I think you should root for your brother. We have plenty of fans for our team. |
It's a position where a lot of times they say they don't want to draft people too high because they think 'How much impact can a linebacker have?' I guess it's understandable. Obviously we're not big defensive ends who are going to get 15 to 18 sacks a year. We're not going to be a running back who's going to rush for 1,500 yards. But all I want's a chance, regardless of where I'm taken. |
