Donte Whitner Quotations

We stopped him from getting outside the pocket, and we were making him uncomfortable. Once he spiked the ball, I knew we'd got to him.

It didn't really bother us. We just couldn't let them have a good day rushing and a good day passing. In the first half, they had a good day rushing, but the second half we slowed them down.

It had a big effect. We go out and put our pants on the same way as Notre Dame. Coming in we knew what we could do with their receivers. Tall doesn't mean everything. We just wanted it more.

I don't really think we should change a lot. We see guys like that every day in practice.

You're just curious about what they think about you; it's something I think everybody ought to take advantage of. If the reports are very favorable, then you really have to think about what you're going to do.

I think Cleveland's an up-and-coming team. We have a good division.

We wanted to get after Tate and take him out of the game. The key was our defensive line. They put pressure on Tate and we stopped the run.

Off the field, A.J. is quiet. He's a humble guy. He is a great player, but he's not a guy who walks around bragging on himself. He's a humble guy, a selfless guy. And that selflessness, that's a big thing with his teammates. To us, he's just a regular guy, who happens to be an All-American.
