I feel like I've helped create a new standard of hustle for defensive linemen.

It's very frustrating. There's been a whole lot of maximum-protecting against us, but there are other things we have to do better. I think we have nine less sacks this year than we did last year at this time.

I thought it was big of him. It's a good start. Maybe it means he's grown. But I'm worried about the guys in this locker room right now. I'm done with that situation.
