bit central crave flat peace stuff
I live in a flat in central London. I do like it there; there's always stuff going on. But I do crave a bit of peace and quiet.
against last michigan win year
I know Lloyd Carr has really had his number. To get a win in his last year against Michigan is really special.
both either fun good hard heard input leaning sat sides
I really haven't sat down and thought long and hard on it yet. I've heard both sides and I've had a lot of good input so far. I can't really say that I'm leaning either way, but it's a fun process.
ball beat fake feet head move react ready run screen
The thing is, the cornerback can play the screen so many different ways. He can come up and try to beat you to the ball right away. He can head fake you. Or he can try to back off and get around you. You have to be ready for anything and you have to be able to move your feet so that you can react to what they're doing. Most of them, though, just try to run away from you.
contain far head hook kick man outside plays reach run spread whoever
I'm going to run and get my head to the outside and try to reach whoever the contain man is. If he plays so far outside that you can't hook him, then you've just got to kick him outside as far as you can to spread the hole.
block good guy shedding speed
If you can get to a block you've got a chance, even if a guy is good at shedding blocks. But if they are a speed guy sometimes you can't even get there.
against behind fast faster game guys otherwise starting thinking
I know they thought they were, ... We play against fast guys every week, and we didn't go into the game thinking they were faster than us. You can't do that, otherwise you'll be starting from behind before the game even starts.
enjoying stressful time worry year
I'm kind of enjoying being able to relax, because I know it's a real stressful time for a lot of these guys. Being able to have one more year where I don't have to worry about it is kind of nice.
break chasing forward guys looking practicing running snaps somebody
I have no idea how many snaps I'm going to play or when I'm going to play, but I've been practicing out there to get guys a little break and get somebody else chasing after the quarterback and chasing after the running back. I'm really looking forward to it.
anyone country good positions
as good at their positions as anyone in the country.
blitz edge maybe missing pass pickup technique time
The big thing is just how they never get beat. In pass rushing, they're always on. You never see them on the edge of somebody. You never see them missing a blitz pickup or something like that. I also try to pick up little technique things that maybe we won't have time to go over in practice.
history met sort
At university, I said to a girl, 'Before I met you all I could think about was history; now, all I can think about is you'. I thought that was the sort of thing you had to say.
diesel engine good matter
No matter where you are, having a cleaner-burning diesel engine is a very good thing.
actual disclosure funding information lack opened
There's a lack of disclosure in the city, information about where our funding is going, actual costs. I think those things need to be opened up.
