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.

I'm not afraid to learn from my coaches.

I always do the contrary of what my coaches tell me.

I don't train for football; I train more for a lifestyle.

Some coaches pray for wisdom. I pray for 260-pound tackles. They'll give me plenty of wisdom.

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.

You can live by biblical principles, and you can teach by those principles and still be a winner. So many coaches think you've got to kick your players in the rear end. You've got to cuss them out. You've got to hit them across the head. No. You don't have to do that.

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.
