He just totally raises the bar for our team. We've got guys doing things they probably wouldn't normally be able to do because of him pushing everyone. He's definitely a rare gem.

It raises the bar for our team and for our individuals, like 'We can do that.' It's just raising their morale.

A few guys on this team probably tried to do too much a few times, myself included.

I got a little spoiled at the Double-A level, where the team you get is the team you'll probably have for the rest of the year, ... You want to win, but we're here to develop players.

The days of the 250-pound linebacker, those are gone, because people want guys who can run... . Everybody wants the 280-pound guy that can rush the passer, but that guy doesn't exist. So you don't have much choice.
