bottom catch compliment definitely fact figure good line numbers recognize stuff
I don't know how they figure that stuff out, but it's definitely a compliment for someone to recognize the fact that I play good defense. I don't know what those numbers mean, but the bottom line is to go out and catch the ball.

carries course fitting game goes good momentum move onto pieces rough team
It's never good to lose, but every team goes through rough stretches. This game is momentum and you can see it over the course of a game. It carries onto day-to-day stuff, too. We're scuffling right now and pieces aren't fitting right together. It's part of the game, but we have to move on.
anyone good stuff
If there's anyone better right now, I'd like to see him. His stuff is as good or better than anyone in the game.

carefree college compliment deserve dirty enjoy happy high instead knew lucky paid people regular school
My friends who knew me in high school and college know I'm the same person. It's a high compliment to be thought of highly. People who know me know I'm fun-loving, carefree and happy to get paid to do what I do. I feel lucky to be where I'm at. Some people feel like they deserve to be here, instead of lucky to be here. That's never been me, and I don't think it will ever be. I enjoy getting down and dirty with any regular Joe.
