aggressive body feet flying football love pads since tackled throw
We squared up and his feet went flying over his head. Ever since I can remember, I've tackled the way I tackle now. I have always been a very aggressive football player. Once I put the pads on, I have this love for being aggressive, to just throw my body around.
heart matter size
Size doesn't matter. It's all about the heart.
play guy want
I'm the type of guy who wants to make every play.
smart play energy
Play fast, play smart, play aggressive, bring energy!
mom names ideas
I have no idea why my mom picked Bob, and I've never asked her. My name used to get slaughtered all the time by other people. I was 'Desmond' or 'Damon' or `Demon.' So Bob's cool.
player screw-ups kind
When another player screws up, I kind of erase it and make a good play.
thinking guy looks
I've made a few hits where I'll look up at the screen and be like, 'Oh my God.' Like it wasn't even me, like I just watched another guy kill this guy, and I don't even think that was me that made that hit.
jobs school done
They may say, 'He's small. We really don't know if he can get the job done.' But they said that about me coming out of high school.
pain lying team
Either you can lie down or you can stand up and say, 'I'm going to be a man about it, go out and deal with the pain and help my team win.'
team guy lines
I want to be one of the top guys in the back end and make sure I keep our team in line and doing the right things in front of me.
hurt giving-up goal
If you hit somebody hard enough, they will give up. You can feel their body go limp and they'll just surrender. So every time I hit somebody, the goal is to knock myself out. I know that if I hit somebody hard enough that I can feel it, it's hurting them 10 times worse.
football hitting monday night people physical playing stage team
I think that sparked something for us. We had been doing it all year, hitting hard, playing tough, playing physical, but I think being on that big Monday Night Football stage and playing a physical team like the Steelers made people notice.
game keys plan sure throw
I think so. What do you have to lose? I think they're going to throw everything at us. We'll have enough game plan to know that we just make sure we read our keys and do what we have to do to win.
defense everybody good last rush
I think everybody has the same attitude. It's like we have something to prove. Last year, our rush defense was not as good as we wanted. This year, we've got Corey.
