Ray McDonald Quotations

I'll definitely be ready for next week, ... I'm about to go get some rehab right now, get my knee back as strong as it was before. And I'll definitely be ready for the Georgia game.

I love moving to end. I know my coaches are going to have nothing but my best interests for me. I know they love me like I love them and they want to see me do my best.

It's a lot more fun. We blitz a lot more. We really utilize our speed and we're using a lot better technique than what we were using last year. This blitzing defense really shows you we have a lot of speed on defense.

I don't ever see the city having an event the size of Arbor Daze.

This is going to be probably one of the biggest tests of the year, going against those big fellas. It's going to be a real good show.

It is a more natural position for me. I'm looking forward to playing defensive end.

For a defensive line, that's terrible, ... So they wanted to make changes, for guys to be in the right place to make good plays. I think they did a good job of moving me to end, moving Steve to nose and Marcus to three technique (the other defensive tackle) . . . I think this is my year. I worked hard in the offseason, I busted my butt.

I started thinking about Tennessee when the clock hit zero.

I see Tennessee coming in here wanting to run the ball, be physical with us, try to run the ball the whole game. I mean that's the only thing I'm looking at, the only thing I'm really focusing on right now is stopping the run.

This year, we're a lot lower to the ground. Our technique is great this year, ten times better than it was last year.
