\n“Normal. Regardless of the team you’re playing (for) or playing against, it’s another opportunity to play a great game. The excitement (for) week one is always high. You’re ready to go and eager to get kicked off. This (situation) is no different.”<\/p>\n
\n“Yeah, I feel great. It’s the same thing I was doing before Calvin got hurt. It’s the same thing. You’re just doing it a few more times. It’s really not that big a deal. I know some people don’t think I can’t do it anymore (and) there’s a million different things being said, but that’s fine.”<\/p>\n
\n“Well, they were pretty darn good last year, (but we) have a lot of areas that we (can still) improve on. We have goals and I think it’s never been a real secret as to what our goals are. Everyone’s very open about it. We want to be the number one defense, and it starts Monday night with a good showing and a great effort against Baltimore.”<\/p>\n
\n“For everyday life, it was (better) about a month (after surgery). Good for football, that was not until June, probably. I didn’t do any of the OTA stuff. I kind of stayed out of practice. Although I thought I could’ve went and wanted to go, the trainers and Coach Ryan kept me back a little bit, which was probably the smart thing to do. Coming into training camp, I was very comfortable with getting it hit and falling on it. I haven’t had an issue (with it). It feels great. I should’ve (had the surgery) four years ago.”<\/p>\n
