Mike Rivera Quotations

He was making good pitches, getting ahead, going at people. I think that's why he was so good. He was effective going at people.

He is one of our key offensive players. He plays a lot of different positions. I am going to use him more often.

We're not trying to fill their shoes. We're trying to make new shoes. We're trying to make our own name, build our own crew.

Our defense controlled the game until the fourth quarter. We have a young group of kids, but they are tough and they deserved to win today.

It's 110 percent stressing on defense. We have been focusing a lot of practice on defense.

It was fun to get back out there and hit someone.

It's a different defense, a new group of guys so we're going to have a bit of a new way of doing things. But we're going to fill our own shoes and just keep going everyday.

I'm really not satisfied with our offense. They got tired too fast.

I played with them for a couple years and they certainly set the bar high, but that's good. That's just going to bring our level up. We're not trying to fill their shoes. We're trying to make new shoes. We're trying to build our own crew, our own linebackers.
