(The injury) is still in the back of my mind, but I'm feeling really comfortable out there, ... get into their heads.

It's not that simple. It's tough. It's total reconstruction of the knee. It's a tough injury. But, with today's technology and the way they have rehab set up, it's the kind of injury guys can come back from and be just as strong.

This is the place I want to be.

Everybody worried about him and I just snuck in through the back door and got mine. There wasn't a lot of attention on it. That made it easier to get because all the concentration was on him.

You can joke with him and tell stories. He's an older guy, so he wears his pants up real high. We were making fun of him one day. He came back the next day and said, 'Hey, what do you guys think?' He had the pants about an inch lower.

To be a nose tackle and to play in this defense, you couldn't want anything else. I'm built for this type of defense.
