bounce bowl game guys point proves shut team win
I got more stats than some guys have the whole season. That proves a point for me and my team, for us to bounce back like that and win a bowl game and shut a team out.
game quarter
That was a long quarter. I've never been in a quarter like that. It was a really long game.
against bowl came game good job last offensive south
Getting that shutout was just great. Especially after not going to a bowl game last year, we came to play for the seniors. We were able to do a really good job against South Florida's offensive line.
You can never, ever worry about making mistakes or things like that. I'm going to go out and play ball, and that's what I do.
I don't have an ego; I'm not egotistical or anything like that.
coming fit goal main teams versatile
I can do whatever. I can play the 3-4. I can play the 4-3. If you want me back at linebacker I can do that coming off the edge. My main goal coming into this was to be versatile and let the teams put me where they want to. It's all about the team, put me where I fit in.
feeling great
I was so excited, it was a great feeling to have.
direction leaning next
Obviously, I'm leaning in that direction. I will make that announcement next week.
coach stop
The only way to stop someone like him or myself is for the coach to not play him.
act capable dumb order penalties stop
Penalties like that -- that's why we're not a championship team. In order for us to be where we want to be and where we're capable of going, we have to stop doing this dumb stuff. We have to stop doing these dumb penalties and get our act together.
settles shut win
For us to come here, win like we did and shut them out ... it settles it down a little bit.
happy interested orleans taken team texans utilize wants
Yeah, I think the Texans are interested in me, but I think New Orleans is more interested. Sure, I'd be happy to be taken first, but I just want to play for a team that wants to utilize my talent.
came good inspire kids lead meet model role staying
My brother, Michael, was my role model when it came to staying fit. Sometimes I meet kids who do not have a role model and I want to be someone who can inspire them and lead them to do good things.
agent call came finally found glad last paid wire
I really found out last night. During the day yesterday, I got a call from my agent and he was just like, you know, we need to talk. He finally told me, you're going to be the guy. It came down to the wire but I'm just glad it paid off and I'm so glad to be a Texan.
