For what he does for that team, I don't see another one out there that's better. He's the closest thing I've seen to Barry Sanders. He's just that good. He does everything. We've got to always be aware of where he's at - at all times. You've got to concentrate on stopping the run first and go from there. |
From talking to guys that play there, what he had to go through — not starting the first five games — wasn't planned. He's more of a professional now. He studies and plays within the scheme. I've always said, even when I played there, if we could ever get this guy to play within the scheme, and be a professional, he probably could be the most dangerous defensive player in the league. |
Guys are looking forward to it, ... We worked hard all offseason and training camp trying to get to this point, and now you're finally getting into the game plan and the bullets are for real now. |
He threw a punch and I tried to block it, ... I got the face mask and they must have thought it was a punch. We were just trash talking. I don't think anyone should have been ejected. |

He's a guy that he'll respect you if you show respect. That's kind of the way I am. I think he values good leadership; that's important to him. He knows he can only do so much as a coach, that it takes good leaders on the team to go that extra mile. |
He's the man. He just makes things happen. When the game's on the line, you want the ball in his hands. |
Hey, you've got your own pilot. I don't have my own pilot. |

I didn't see that. I don't know nothing about that negative stuff. I saw that 'We Love T.O.' sign. Did you see that? |
I don't think it escalated to the point where anybody should have got kicked out of the game. |
I know my teammates were excited to get me back out there. I tell the guys every day, 'We're the best defense in the league.' That's what you have to believe. With the talent we have on this defense, why not? |
I like the way he runs. I like what he brings to the table. Last year, when he first went in there, he took a pounding. He took a beating. He pretty much had to carry the load because they had a quarterback situation. This year, he put on a few more pounds, which he really had to, especially in that offense. He's done an outstanding job. |
I love playing against running teams. There's just more opportunities for me to make plays, you know? For us to make plays, as a defense. We welcome all challengers. Anybody want to bring it, we're ready. |
I never planned for it to escalate like that, ... happens every other play. |
