" Well I'm I wanted to give back to play well positioned the Mike linebacker that played twelve years of Miami. This'll last year at a position there was a shelf. That was the key until Drew Rosenhaus wages in the only place for my -- record and look. With the team was superior horses right fit for me."
" Exactly you know look you made a name for yourself at first in your career playing a Mike in a 43 type defense. Then you shift to a 34 I don't know what fans understand the difference between the two inside linebackers by exactly. Couldn't layman's term can you just explain why you be more comfortable with one inside linebacker spot and another."
" Well it's a little different Murray's. In my recognition is what I feel like his less -- through my game that's what they feel like very instinctive risk not that it is Murray. So with a 34 always liked it even when I never -- to adjust to it. But it really protection even more or five guys a lot of rumors are -- picture not a protective. But you are your more protected you got five guys at a four but I'm back to play in the middle where can either guard into the quarterback instead of Al I'd like last year whereas outside. Sometimes the tackle. And -- just a different read is -- like. You know you you -- to write an all time we can do with your left but it is -- comfortable what are."

You don't think of all guys I think there's changed my mindset was brilliant Todd Haley and here he wants change -- it was Scott Pioli I think they're doing the right thing with the guys are bringing it. But I want to be part of it when they do turnaround could you even looked at last year the teams have turned around and -- season he remind me. We have for one of fifty was to win the division I think we can do you think I'm not all I want to be part of."
" Second sounds like disaster may be looking at this -- more than one -- thing and you're like about 4344 years -- right now is Eric over the but it all seriousness of what. How much you want to keep -- as long as you can't write a mean you're you're football player I just -- how much passion -- for this game."
" A -- play they gave me a feel like that always are you know for injuries but I take care my body. But you know you love the game -- the game will be back well look at it and I'll -- the play of the game and I want to miss a game. But I know this don't take for granted I'm very grateful to be here. Even be played into my fourteenth year and hope to keep playing but I just take your time if you ever known and hopefully be a great year for."
" Actually use your whatever vernacular is a lot of drama last year with the -- is eligible to drama before the Miami Dolphins. How do you look back on that season that you had in Dallas."
" Along those pictures. Like Greg and if they do put it together me. They're strong arm and got more talent out there have been doing good. Wrong but like I am not a bad day the polished player in the middle. I would they got Bradie James -- they got together and offer them for years or if I play the -- stay there about had to. -- I had to be a little selfish it's tough when you're not yourself you know missile. Only a wish it was got -- they're really a lot of good guys and and if they get together we definitely unstoppable."
