I feel a whole lot better. I got this off of my chest and I'm just trying to move forward right now.
That was a (missed assignment). The guy was holding him, man, but you can't wait on a ref to make the play. The cat safety didn't get outside. He failed, we all failed.
It feels good to know you've got this time to know you're going to be in the top 20. We're going to have to work hard in (winter) mat drills, things like that, to hopefully keep it there.
It's like, that man's playing his heart out, and we have to do the same thing. Younger guys see that and understand how they have to play the game.
We're going to make sure we send more people to the ball.
Every day I went to work at Tampa, I gave it my all.
Greg White got a boxer because I said I was getting one. I was talking about getting a boxer since before training camp.
I like to have fun, but I also try to make time for my son.
I love getting after that quarterback! That's my deal: sacking the quarterback.
It's funny, as a little kid, you look up to those guys who you play as in 'Madden,' and now to see myself in the game, it's an honor.
First of all, I want to thank the Buccaneers for giving me the opportunity and for picking me in the draft. This is the nature of the beast, though, and this is a new start for me. I wish them the best of luck, and I am just glad to be a Bear.
I feel like by me putting on a couple more pounds will help my game tremendously. Putting on 10-15 pounds will help me stop the run better and be a more dominant pass rusher.
I want to be a great player. I don't want to play for the money. I don't want to play for fame. I'd just as soon no one knew who I was. I want to play football because it's football.
It really doesn't matter to me whether it's defensive end or linebacker. I just want to play the game of football. I've been working on linebacker drills since I got out to Fischer Sports in Phoenix.
