“I think offensive line play in general is really a position of service; you don't really have stats, you don't have the glory of scoring touchdowns.”

“Pain isn't necessarily a fun thing to endure.”

“The conventional mold is like this macho, very physically dominating, sometimes angry type of fellow. But I really think toughness, and that's what I used to think it was, but the more I played football and even going through college with certain guys, you really realize toughness is the guys that can do the same thing over and over and over again.”

“Howie Roseman is Santa Claus!”

“It's nice whenever you're get recognized... but I just think a lot of the individual stuff gets overplayed.”

“Strong leaders... try to lift others up.”

“I enjoy compliments from guys more than from girls. If a guy has a beard, he knows what he's talking about.”

“Analysts are analysts for a reason. They are certainly experts.”

“I'm a big fan of the beard oil. It really keeps it soft. I use the beard wash too because my wife is really on me to make sure there's not all types of bacteria and food left up in there.”

“Even if guys don't admit it, we definitely check out other guys' beards.”

“I think as a leader, you just take accountability. That's what leadership is. Leadership is taking accountability yourself and holding others to the same standard, regardless of what's going on.”

“Philadelphia might not want to hear this, but I grew up in Cleveland, and I think there are really a lot of similarities.”

“On the offensive line, although you can't just be eating anything, it directly benefits you to be heavy, especially if your frame can handle it.”

“Everybody's going to get crushed at some point. Everybody's going to go through a downturn or struggle, right?”

“Torrey Smith was a guy who played a lot of football for a lot of different teams.”

“I'm not looking forward to not playing football, because I love playing football. But one thing I am looking forward to is being able to lose weight.”

“The best coaches find a way to utilize guys' skill sets and talents.”

“If you're a good defensive player, you should know it's one of four or five plays coming at you, based on formation and whatnot, situation.”

“The direction of what you're trying to do, not just as a player, but as a team in general over the course of the season - a lot of the times coaches aren't very clear on what that demand is.”

“I think skill-position players are better when they're artistically inclined.”
