Sure enough, the tight end got just enough of me, the back was just able to get to the corner and they got a first down. You look at the tape, you study in your meetings and you see all this stuff, then you go correct it for the next game.

We talk, we hang out, we're sort of in the same boat being rookies, so it's natural. It'll be nice to see if we can stay together for a few years to see what we can do.

To be honest with you, I had never heard of him until it started getting close to the draft last year. Being where I was from, we never heard or saw too much from the West Coast, but then when they drafted both of us, I thought, 'Hmmm, I guess I'm going to have to beat this guy out to play.' I thought that's what they had in mind.

It's the noise. On game day, it sounds almost the same. I want to say Death Valley is louder, but sometimes, I don't know, man, it gets loud, like really loud out here.

It's a known fact he's inconsistent. He knows it. Everyone knows it. Going into a game against Florida State, you want to make him beat you. You want to put it on his shoulders.

That first sack, it felt pretty good, ... I would like for it to have come on [Michael] Vick or somebody, but it felt good. I'm glad it's out of the way.
