It doesn't matter if it's preseason or a scrimmage. I'm trying to have a dominant performance, whether it's preseason first series or whenever I get out there.

Knowing that guys are out there improving and trying to take it to that next level, that gives me fire to improve my play and work on these little things that can keep me from dominating a game.

Sometimes you have to stutter step; sometimes you have to spin inside. You have to run some games.

People might say, 'They're this; they're that,' or I made a comment on cold weather, and they kind of pointed towards Cleveland with that. It doesn't matter to me. I'll play wherever they put me.

I'm always going to be passionate about the guys we have in the locker room because they've always been OK with me - they've always done right by me - so I have no problem playing with them, going out there and sweating, bleeding, and winning with them.

I think I was born in the right era. But I missed out on some great music.

I'm a regular person. I'm a regular guy. As a kid, I played games. As a kid, I liked poetry. As a kid, I liked drawing. And I never felt the need to stop doing anything. I never lost interest in them.

If I'm not the best D-lineman, it's not good enough for me.

I've already said I like the Cowboys because that's my hometown team. Everybody knows you're going to like your hometown team.

You played 'Snake' on it. That's what we had a cell phone for, when my mother would let us use it. When you had it, you set it down at the table, you set it down in the other room, we ate, and you enjoyed your time with your family.

I'm not really a swagger guy.

I'm going to love whatever team and organization that I'm a part of.

When I'm sitting in my hotel room, I'm reading. If I've got some time after class, I'm reading. If I can get away with it while I'm doing treatment, I'm reading.

It doesn't matter who picks me up, I'm going to try and be a franchise player for them.

I gotta win. Winning is just not enough. I have to do my best.

That's my goal: to be on the field as much as possible so I can make as big of an impact as possible.

If I hope for four or five sacks, and I only get two or three, that's still a good week for me, so I gotta go out there with those high hopes, those high expectations, and try to achieve them.

A great team versus another great team, your performance is going to go down. But my job is to improve my consistency where, when I dominate against the lesser teams, go and do well and do the same amount of work when I'm going against the Alabamas and the LSUs, and it will come.

I can never get tired of helping people.

I feel like everybody's on the same level. Nobody's done anything more important than any other. People have gifts in other areas. You weren't blessed with them; they were blessed with them.

Whatever happens, if I don't make any plays that game, hopefully I can have an effect where I'm distracting two or three blockers, or I'm getting my hands up so I can bat down balls.

I just like to have fun on the field and make plays and have fun with my teammates.

One person can't win games.

Whoever picks me up, I'm going to try and play my best for, to be the best player on the field at any given time.
