Man! ... I'm lucky he didn't see me.

That's football, ... No one's perfect. You have to be ready to come back on that next play. That's what everybody wants to see.

I've heard it all before.

This is a competition, no doubt. But ... we're professionals, and we're not going to sit there and act like, 'Ah, it's my spot.' It's the best man's spot. That's understood. If I'm not the best man, I don't want to be out there hurting the team.

I know my place as a rookie, ... I'm doing what my role asks of me and nothing more. I'm not trying to force my way into a leadership role. That's just what comes with the territory.

I would have wanted to throw a pass and then go running down the field to lead block. Not that I don't think I could have made it. I think it would have been a lot more challenging and it wouldn't have been the best fit for my personality.

I'm just fortunate to be in this position and I'm looking forward to the challenge, ... I'm not nervous, just excited. I'm ready for it.

I'm not nervous, I'm excited.

I've gotten in a lot more on the pass rushes. And I like it now. Before, pass rushes would be a drill where it would be like, 'Nah, I'm just going to go bull rush these guys.' ... Me and Kouts talk about that, too. Now I'm starting to put together a little repertoire and get after 'em.
