Whenever you get in that situation in the course of a game, you hope to get one tackle. To make three tackles is a career in the National Football League.
guys inside known mentality middle outside plays tried wherever
I've tried to bring the mentality of the outside linebacker to the inside and the rough, tough style of an inside linebacker to the outside. The middle linebacker always has been known as kind of a big plugger. Outside guys are known to be able to run. I just try to make big plays wherever I am.
risk
It just cramped up, and I didn't want to risk anything.
future great leaf near reckoned ryan
Ryan Leaf is doing great now. If he progresses the way he is now, we're going to have a quarterback that's going to be reckoned with in the near future. And that's not political.

It's one game. After one game, you're going to be in first place or last place. We're in first place.

As a sophomore, I wanted to play varsity in three sports. And I accomplished that. It was a great feat that year, and something I held special. I wanted to bring a championship team to Oceanside High School, and it happened. It was a great year that I will never forget.

graduation retirement mean
I'm not retiring. I am graduating. Today is my graduation day. Retirement means that you'll just go ahead and live on your laurels and surf all day in Oceanside. It ain't going to happen.

I want to be the best. That's just the human way.
based chase finally gave gives information three
To chase an athlete that really doesn't want to speak with you and when you finally get him, gives you three words and you have to write a story based on three words of information he gave you, that's pretty tough.
athletes dreams football hopes living mean outside themselves tiny
Too many athletes are living in a tiny window. They have no vision for themselves - what they can be outside of football and what they can mean to a community. They just don't know any better. My hopes and dreams are unlimited.

We did what we had to do. Getting a win was key.
