coaches depth difficult playing preach prepare secondary starters team veterans
We have some depth in the secondary and the coaches preach to the backups to prepare like starters and I think you can see that on the field. When all of the guys, from the veterans to the rookies, are playing hard, it makes us a very difficult team to beat.
defensive guys mix percent starters sure tackle
We got a lot of guys in the mix at defensive tackle right now so we're not even 100 percent sure who the starters are going to be.
coming last looking lost seniors seven starters
We're not perfect, but we're looking OK. We lost two seniors last year, but we've got seven starters coming back.
break guard next side starters tackle
We're going to break it up so each side has 11 starters ? we could have a No. 1 right tackle next to a No. 2 right guard on the same team.
accepted billy chemistry direction forward looking people sam starters today trying win
This is what you want. You want the big contract, and you want the people to show how much they want you. That's what Billy did today with those guys. He accepted them. It's important, because have some chemistry with each other. Sam and Kyle, they're starters on the team. I like the look of our team, and I like the direction we're heading. I'm just looking forward to trying to win a championship with them.

Beating the Eagles is still beating the Eagles.

We don't give up. No matter what, we keep fighting. That's the character of this team. And I think we can grow.
hard learning mental progress work
I think I've made a lot of progress. But I think I have a lot to work on in the mental part of the game. I need to just keep learning every day. I'm really hard on myself to be the best.

Those are the guys who started this tradition and honor.
behind fall guys hit mean rally seems spot tough trying
Guys are always trying to rally each other when we fall behind or hit a tough spot in a game. It just seems to mean more when Vince does it because he always delivers.
enjoy feeling great hear name running
I didn't get my name called though. It will be a great feeling to hear my name announced, but I enjoy just running out when my name is not called.
cause focused helping locker tension totally
I don't get too focused on what (the coaches) are thinking, because if I do that, I can't focus on what I'm doing. If you do, when you're out on the field, you think about it. When you're in the locker room, it can cause tension and cause you not to be totally focused on helping the team. I try not to get sidetracked.
sit
I didn't come here just to sit back,
behind focused junior learned mike obviously playing prepare start starter stay tennessee year
Obviously you want to start, but if I don't start I still have to prepare like I'm a starter because you never know what's going to happen, ... That's something I learned in college. During my junior year I was playing behind Mike Doss now with Indianapolis and Donnie Nickey now with Tennessee so I just had to stay focused and ready.
