Mike McGlynn Quotations

We're committed to it, we want to be a physical line and we want to be a good running team, so I have no doubt we'll get it done.

Last year we had to sit back and pass block on every play because defenders really knew we were a passing team. This year, the defensive ends just can't pin back their ears and come right at us.

I think it is good that we got some experience because all of it helps. I don't know if I'll ever take a snap in a game, but it is good to be ready and the more positions on the line you play, the better it helps you.

This year to last year, it's a big difference. We've got more combo blocking and stuff like that. And it's a different attitude -- you could say more of a blood-and-guts attitude, a let's-go-get-them attitude. Last year, we were kind of passive.

They (the Irish) are a good unit, but you can't really compare us to them.

I'm fine. There's some ups and downs. Right now, we're coming through. We're getting better every practice. We're becoming a unit. That's what camp is for.
