The essence of football was blocking, tackling, and execution based on timing, rhythm and deception.

There are two types of football - there's physical football and football talent.

Football is a game played with arms, legs and shoulders but mostly from the neck up.

Some of the most innovative things in football I see at high school games. It's not the play - it's when you run it. The right time.

Football is a chess game to me. If you move your pawn against my bishop, I'll counter that move to beat you. Football is the same way. I study so much film that I know exactly what teams are going to do. I love knowing what a offense is going to run and stuffing that play.

Football is like life - it requires perseverance, self-denial, hard work, sacrifice, dedication and respect for authority.

To me, discipline in football occurs on the field, not off it.

Football is about having the best offensive play possible. I always like to play offensive football, and nobody will convince me otherwise.

What happens is once you start to understand football, you realise that it's not just about the physical side of the game and chasing after a ball. It's a strategic sport which requires a lot of intelligence. It's a very mental game.

Football is a great deal like life in that it teaches that work, sacrifice, perseverance, competitive drive, selflessness and respect for authority is the price that each and every one of us must pay to achieve any goal that is worthwhile.
