After a long six months, a tough draft, a tough camp where I missed some time, I'm just so happy to finally be able to get in there and play that first one.

battle cushion defense felt games gave great locked offense team three
We're a team and we go out there and we battle together, but when it comes down to it, the three games we lost, the defense let up at the end; we let them score. It felt great to go out there and really get them stopped. The offense gave us a great cushion and we locked them down.

The biggest thing you have to look for is not so much the field as especially in the first half we weren't getting off blocks and making tackles. We were throwing arms out there. You're not going to bring Larry Johnson down by throwing an arm out there.

I want to be together with everybody and get to know how everybody plays here. But you've got to represent your country.

The first couple of days, I didn't know a lot of people. Now, I feel like I've been on this team before.
