He really worked hard on gaining some weight. He's a stronger player. Hopefully, that strength will carry over (during the season).

and good things will happen.

I've been weight lifting for about five years, so I can show Tony some things to improve strength and stamina. He has been showing me the cardio things that are part of triathlons that he does. I enjoy spending time with him.

It's not necessarily the weight but the strength. Because getting off the jam [at the line of scrimmage] is imperative in the Pac-10. If you can do that using quickness along with strength, you can do well against the bump-and-run.

That deuce is what helps you in the 100. I truly believe that. With my weight, my strength and doing these deuces, the 100 is coming so easy to me now. Because I've got the start. I can get you out of the blocks. Now it's 'can you hold on?' I truly believe I can hold on, because I can do it in practice now.

I wanted to focus on weights and put weight on. I needed to keep my strength. I didn't just eat pizza, either. Just everything I worked on -- my core, the legs.
