    When you're an athlete and can expose to people that you battle a lot of the same things that they go through, it helps them believe in themselves. You're talking about someone who is established as a very good player in this league who is able to relate that. Young people can see that he was brave enough to not only overcome it, but talk about it and show that he came out OK, that there's nothing to be ashamed of.

    As far as the coaching staff, it seems like they find out what guys do well and apply it on the field. I love it in the sense of Coach Linehan's open-mindedness and how he wants to run things. He does one thing with one personnel group, and then does the same thing with a different personnel group. It looks different, but sometimes it's the same thing. It's the best way to attack a defense.

    That was a bad one. It can definitely have an effect on a defensive player. If you get your face thrown in the dirt in the open field, I definitely think that's in the back of their mind. It's a frustrating thing.
