If you've got to second-guess talking to a teammate, what you have will never work.

One thing I've always been taught at the defensive end is you hit first. In life, you throw the first punch; you don't get punched first. It's the same on defense: You've got to hit first. Do your work early. That's what I was always taught. If you don't do your work early, you're done.

I was a great help-side defender in college, but as far as really wanting to lock somebody up, that was never really my focus.

I think complacency is what you allow it to be.

If you're not getting better, you're getting worse.

The more time you spend with somebody, the more your relationship grows.
