My thing of not playing offensive tackle is the health issue. I don't want to be that big. That could end up not being good for your health.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think I could handle right tackle. With great coaches, I think I can handle anything.
I was small but slow as a college tackle.
When you let those defensive backs know that you're a physical player, they don't really want to tackle. That's it. That's why you see me get a hurdle every game. Those guys don't want to tackle me when I get to the second level.
You've got to be careful of guys trying to chop-block you. You know, running backs, the receivers. You've got to just hope that your knees are fine and you can avoid those chop blocks.
I'll continue to tackle back. I want to help the team as much as I can, and if I need to get back and defend, I will.
At nose tackle, you don't have to run that much.
You know, I played football, I was offensive tackle in college.
I want to play defense. I want to get sacks.
In football, you're hitting, so you might as well hit in practice.
I'm a left tackle. I like playing left tackle. That's my position. I think I can do it better than anybody.
