Marvin was looking at it, and it had all these blitzes we were doing. Marvin said to me, 'Let me keep this.' I wasn't going into coaching at the time; I was going to play some more. I said, 'OK,' and let him keep it.

I think you'd like to say you'd get lighter, but I haven't. I've gotten heavier. The bigger issue is most of us, as players, we are always trying to get bigger. You learn to eat for that, and that's the habit that's hard to break.

The stocked fish are coming along nicely and it's a good place to bring beginners.

I've had good luck swinging Woolly Buggers or just about any streamer through the deeper runs. I catch a lot of the stockers, but I also catch some larger fish too. I'd say I've caught 12 or 15 rainbows and browns from 11 to 17 inches in the past few weeks.

A big man who's athletic will eventually wear down a smaller man but if you have a big man that can't stay on his feet, can't get to the ball, who is always on the ground, then you have problems. You can't play with guys like that. There's a fine line between the good players.

Guys have to have athletic ability and the ability to stay on his feet. Plus he's got to have quickness, strength and explosion. He needs the ability to use his hands to get off of blocks. That's the most important thing. Guys have to stay on their feet, get off of blocks and find their way to the football.
