During the spring, [Cronin] worked some with the linebackers. He has linebacker size, and he gives us a big body that can run and move, and I'm sure we're going to see a lot of him. He's so valuable to our defense because he can cover and blitz, and that's a dimension that we need.

We're pleased to go home with a win, but we're not very satisfied with how we played. On defense there were good times and bad times, and we want to be more consistent.

It bothered a lot of guys. Coming off the field, everyone was talking about, 'We never want to see 20 points on the board again.' That's something we really, really dislike, especially as a defense.

It was like he had oil on his jersey. He's a quick guy for his size.

Sometimes, when I go back home, they don't see us as much of a threat. I always take that as an insult. I come back, and I make sure to tell my teammates about that.

After the first big hit, I felt really good after I made contact with the guy. I felt all types of energy through me.

With that spread offense, we know we are going to have to play a lot of nickel and dime defense and we are going to have to be ready to have our linebackers running all over the field chasing all those receivers.
