Q: (inaudible)
A: That can be all over the field.
Q: Have you played with anybody that you reminds you of his (Jabrill Peppers) skillset?
A: He’s similar to, when I first got in the league, (safety) Bob Sanders. Bob had that stature, was in the box, blitzed a lot, could cover, but just made plays. He played at 100 miles per hour. I’m excited to see Jabrill (Peppers) get into that position and play that role.
Q: Are you interested in seeing what this defense can do in the real situation in the real game?
A: Yeah. I think we’re all waiting and we’re anxious to see what we can do in a 60-minute football game. Obviously, in preseason you get glimpses here and there, but you really don’t get the full thing. Going on the road, a hostile environment for our first test, it will be good for our defense.
Q: And Dallas is pretty good.
A: Yeah Dallas is pretty good. It’s a good team and a very good offense. It’s a divisional game, so obviously it turns it up a notch, but we’re good too so it’ll be a good match for us.
Q: Can you talk about your message to the young guys who are going out there for their first regular season NFL game. Is there any advice you have for them so they don’t get too wired and stay within their game?
A: Have fun.
Q: That’s it?
A: Have fun. It’s football. It’s a game we’ve been playing for a long time. We’ve been going over these calls for six months. A lot of these players, they played against more people in college than they are on Sunday. But then again, we’ll see who the ballers are. Don’t let the bright lights get to you too much but at the end of the day go out there and have fun.
