I was very surprised. I was concerned about being able to walk again, and even possibly having to retire. And the possibility to maybe play in this game is very exciting and motivating for me.
attribute coach game helping knows last learning loves safety study success talking year
Marquand is like a coach out there on the field. I attribute a lot of my success and a lot of my learning as a safety to him because he's been right by my side, helping me out the whole way. Last year it was just me and him on the sideline, talking the game when we weren't playing. He knows the game very, very well and loves to study it.
believe defensive everybody goes hope man serious
I thought everybody used the 12th Man. I can't believe they're really serious about it. I know for me, as a defensive player, our 12th Man is huge. I need the 12th Man. They give us an advantage. I just hope this thing just goes away.
I can't live off what I did in the past,

college education game high job love played school starting
I never really did like linebacker. In high school I played receiver. I was already undersized. I never got over 220, ... Back at safety, I'm starting to have a love for the game again. In college it was more like a job that I had to do to get an education and get a job and make money. But now I'm doing it for the love again.

Their passing game is effective because of their second effort. Once they get in a scramble mode, they're really effective.
