It comes down to guys have to fill spots. The less guys you have to fill spots, the more opportunity there's going to be.

I think that's a good thing to start. That's a base. ... If you're a guy that's dependable and doesn't make mistakes, you're going to get on the field.

That we have a teammate who may not be with us next year. I'm still not sure what's going on or how it's going to end up.

When I first came here, there were still a lot of things I didn't know, especially about the 3-4. Last spring, I studied every night and came in an hour before practice to make sure I knew everything that was going on.

I set my goals before each season -- spring and fall. My goals this spring were not to win a job or to make the first team. My goals were to keep on improving and not to look too far ahead.

Honestly, I didn't keep up with that situation a whole lot. I found out, I guess, when everybody else did.
