It adds a little pressure. Coach expects the best, he expects excellence. That’s what we work on every day. We’re a unit, but we’re just a part of the puzzle. We have to piece it...

This defensive line is supposed to run free, and just swarm everybody.

I wouldn’t say it was a competition. We always pushed each other, whether I messed up or he messed up. It really didn’t matter who started. We were working together.

We’ve developed a better technique, as far as playing inside. We fire off on the ball now and get off blocks. They want us to make plays, and dominate each play.
