Guys Quotes
I always talk about that big jump guys make between their first and second year, and Kenechi is right where he's supposed to be. In the second year, you understand what you are. A lot of guys have to refine themselves from college. I say the same things, and they say, 'Bake, why didn't you tell me that last year?' Now, they have a revelation.

Against Quotes
Pat's impact is that you can't just double Kevin anymore and single-block the other guy. Pat gives us some swagger against the run. He's determined that no one will run the ball on us because of him. Guys buy into that and start having high expectations for themselves, and I think that helps the whole defense.

Accomplish Quotes
I think I've always had it in me, ... I just haven't quite been able to put it together for a whole match. Ever since I was a little kid, you always dream about being Top 10 in the world and winning a Grand Slam. I know that's a long way away right now, but hopefully with a lot of hard work, getting a little bit better, maybe I can accomplish those things down the road.

Best Quotes
I thought last game certainly was his best performance, especially in terms of pass rush. I think he's still learning the league, obviously. Heck, I'll be saying that until midseason probably, maybe even the end of the season. But I think his conditioning is getting a little better; he's getting in a little more football shape.

Amazing Quotes
I thought his rookie year was his most amazing year. For him to master two positions, grow with the speed of the league and to do it from both inside and outside positions and have success was nothing short of amazing. The second year he took the normal progression from year one to year two. That's when the greatest growth occurs, especially for linemen, and he took off.

Belts Quotes
We feel like there's a lot of up-and-coming guys that can play well at times, but we just haven't really put a tournament together, ... I don't really know why we haven't done that well. But we're working hard. I guess the general consensus would be that we just need, I guess, a little bit more experience under our belts and need a breakthrough win. Hopefully this can be mine.

Above Quotes
This one crushes me personally because all the things that I wanted him to improve on he was improving on, and it was happening sooner than I expected, ... I was really expecting him to come out of the bye just playing head and shoulders above expectations and was really looking forward to it. I saw it building.
