On helmet Communication:
“It’s been a great thing for the defense. It puts an emphasis on communication. It’s been a good thing for the whole defense.”
Decision To Return:
“It wasn’t a tough decision for me at all. I missed half the year. In my mind I had a lot left to prove. That’s a big reason why I wanted to come back.”
Being Healthy in the Spring:
“In my past I’ve had some injuries. A full offseason you get in a flow. When you’re injured and missing time, you can’t get in that flow. I feel like I’m extremely healthy right now. I feel really good.”
What he’s working on:
“On the field is my communication. Speaking with confidence. Knowing the front, what’s going on in the backend. Off the field just making sure I’m eating the right way, getting good sleep.”
On Chemistry w/ Jeff Bassa:
“I feel like it’s only grown. Just our relationship on and off the field. It’s all helped our chemistry. Not just with Jeff but with all of the linebackers. Our defense has been rolling that way.”
On the Young Guys:
“Some young guys hungry to learn. Always asking questions, eager to get better. I can’t wait to see them keep going.”
