Quotes by Nathan Vasher
All the guys start out left. If there's nothing to the left, we always have a lot of field to the right. I just felt like I could outrun a lot of guys at that angle.
You can't get complacent and forget your routine. We've been in the same routine the past 16 weeks. I've never been to the playoffs, so this is my first time to guard against complacency.
I remember being a little shocked that I slipped to the fourth round. I just told myself I was going to play well enough that people would stop thinking of me as a second-day pick.
I'm playing as well as anybody. Our defense is playing as good as -- if not better -- than anybody.
I started left, went right and picked up some great blocks from everybody else out there, and made a great play.
It's disappointing. But it's something you can improve upon and just go forward from there.
It's hard to come down to the last three minutes and you kind of explode as a defense.
It's good to have your own identity. We realize the impact those guys made, but we're making some of our own impact.
