Jon Beason Quotations

The reality is, teams respect the defensive line. The quarterbacks have had to get rid of the ball quickly.

I would cry after losses when I was a kid and pout. But I played like that.

He's been pretty much flawless. You don't hear anything about him missing class or getting in trouble. He's grown up a lot. He understands where he is and that people are counting on him and he's holding up to that.

Spring is where you win a job. I've been telling all the young guys, come out here and give effort every play. Don't worry about messing up now. Just see yourself improve and get your way up the depth chart. We're going to have a lot of fight this spring.

I still love the preparation of the game. I think that actually helps you heal faster, still being around it; it keeps you motivated. It keeps you engaged, and I want to be around my teammates.

You look at stats for a guy who is a pretty good linebacker, he'll make 100 tackles. You make 100, you're averaging seven or eight tackles a game. If you play every down, that's a good number.

Tyrone's a big back and he's physical. He can take the load. You can give him the ball and he's going to give you three or four yards just because of how hard he runs the ball.

We are winners. And that's the way we want to send out our seniors.

To be so big and so powerful, he's also quick. Tyrone can get moving when he wants to. He's a real tough guy to tackle, and he's always going to fall forward and get that positive yardage. It's always been in him. Before, you've always seen glimpses of it.

You realize that you can't win 'em all. You try to win 'em all; you get frustrated, but you gotta have a short fuse either way. Success in the NFL is just as deadly as allowing yourself to kinda wallow in sorrow. It works both ways.

I want people to perceive me as a guy who wants it. That I play the game with passion and desire. That I'm athletic, that I'm fast, and I'm relentless.

Anytime you do anything, you want to know who was the best at it.

I'm very shocked. I just feel sorry for him. I think he should be here. I have a lot of confidence in our coaching staff and they must have done it for a reason. But I don't know what that reason is.

I really want to do everything I can to try to win a game or win on a play. You get fiery; you get chippy out there, but a lot of respect, I never have anybody, like, talk trash in my career in the league, or I don't talk trash. I think guys respect the fact that I'm coming.

The kid is not cocky, but confident. Everybody around him knows this kid is going to be a superstar. If we can get the other 10 guys on offense just to play with the type of confidence that he has, they would be unbelievable.
