along faces good guys lost luckily replaced season system
We had a lot of new faces on this team, and luckily it didn't take a whole season to come together. It's a system of interchangeable parts. We lost a lot of good guys along the way and just replaced them.
foggy gets guys helped plays remember until
I remember everything up until the hit. Then it gets a little foggy after that. Some of the plays I didn't really remember, but the guys helped me get through it.
biggest core guys line michael offensive rushing threats tight
It's not just Michael Vick, ... That's where a lot of guys get lost. You've got Dunn, T.J. Duckett, they have a core of receivers, that tight end (Alge) Crumpler. And their offensive line is great. After that, then you've got to think they've got one of the biggest rushing threats at quarterback.

It's easier to get 11 guys on the same page and not having to worry about hanging on to the ball. On defense, above all, you got to love to run and hit.

All the guys are saying, 'Good job, rook,' ... But I know I've still got a lot to learn.

It was a matter of opportunity. A lot of guys can do the same thing given the right situation. I don't think it's anything more than that.

Know when to have a good time and when to shut it down and be responsible. This is your job. It's not just a party. I know people think it's the life of a rock star. It has its time.
continue hard improve success
Just that success only comes one way -- that's through hard work. Just continue to try to improve on getting better and it'll happen.

I think it kind of got out of sight by going there. And that's why I wanted to transfer to a Division I team. Then it became a reality.

I won't even think about it until I get there.
against pass pile rally sure
We'll pile up against the run, rally to that pass and make sure we know where 89 is at all times.
