Q: When you are studying film, what do you focus on or look for?

I study and look at tendencies that the Defensive Lineman and Linebackers have. I always point out their strengths and weaknesses and usually write them down and study it. I also look at what type of defense they are running. I study and focus on what stunts and blitzes they like to run as well.

Q: What separates you from the other players at your position?
