The great thing coming from sports is you understand the concept of a team. It leaves no room for being selfish, and that's something I picked up from home.
I go back to when Jessie and I were the leaders of the defense,
He showed a lot of poise. He commands the huddle and he commands the offense.
He is going to be a great head coach. I'll be really surprised if he doesn't get a job somewhere. He's done a great job with this unit and he's made it exciting. He's made me want to go out there and play like I was young again. I'm proud to play for Tim and, unselfishly, I hope I'm not playing for him next year.
I grew up mostly in Germany, but my favorite summer trip was driving from North Carolina to Texas in a camper with my parents and us six kids.
I grill all the time - burgers, ribs, chicken, steak, and fish.
I don't do anything I don't want to do. There are so many opportunities that come my way, but if there's something out there that I don't want to do, I truly don't do it, because I have to maximize my time. If there's truly an opportunity to be quiet and be by myself, I do it.
To get a Super Bowl ring and L.T.'s sack record. That's what I want,
Guys are just thoroughly enjoying playing for him right now. I think that's a testament that this is his team and we're here to do whatever we need to do to in. His focus isn't to make things hard on us, his focus is to make sure we're prepared to win football games.
He commanded the huddle. He commanded the offense. And he's only going to get better.
He's young. You know what? If you don't believe that, maybe you shouldn't be here. They believe they are the best. We believe we are the best. We are not bad at all. In my opinion, we are the best because I am part of that combo.
He's confident. He can see it right now every time he takes a snap and drops back.
I feel fresh, ... And I appreciate playing. Every time I step on the field, every play, I look at it as it could be my last. The realization of that definitely has me feeling that I'd better take advantage of every snap that I can.
Growing up, we had 30, 40, 50 people coming through the house some Thanksgivings. Sometimes there was a kids' table; other times, the plate was just sitting on your lap. You get in where you fit in at that house.
