Ryan Nece Quotations

I feel like home is always with the starters. It's wherever the coaches want me to play.

He's going to get killed. You can only do that for so long. As a quarterback, you need to pick and choose when you can do that. He'll learn.

That was difficult, ... If you're in a job or a position and they bring someone in to do your job and then they demote you, that's frustrating, but you've just got to keep working and improving.

That was difficult. Any time you're in a job, whether you're a doctor or lawyer, and they bring somebody else to do your job and demote you, that can be frustrating, ... It was frustrating as a linebacker that they wanted to go a different direction. But you've got to keep working and improving and now I have another opportunity to play.

That was difficult, ... Anytime, whether you're a doctor or a lawyer, when they bring somebody else in to do your job, that's pretty frustrating. They obviously wanted to go a different direction, and I was demoted.

That's the real key to stopping the run, especially for us. You have to be on your details. Everybody has to be in his place, so there was a huge emphasis put on it this year -- huge.

Today's game against Buffalo is going to be a much truer test. This is going to tell us better where we're at. This is definitely going to be a test of our preparation and how we did things during the offseason.

When Jeff comes back, he'll have the opportunity to have his job back. That's just the way things are done here.

We spent a lot of time just walking through plays,

You never want to relinquish (the job) once you have it. That's not your goal,

They've asked me to be accountable for both sides. That's given me an opportunity to play over there and play with the first team, and that's exciting for me. At the same time, I'm trying to push Brooks and learn as much as I can from him.

It's early in the season and nobody is going to remember who ranked first in defense after four weeks, but to be part of all this and know you're contributing makes you feel good about coming to work,

It's a blue-collar position, ... No one knows what goes on at that position. A lot of things are filtered through (the strongside linebacker). He's doing a lot of dirty work and that's the glamour part about it. You've just got to do those things and not do more than you can.

(Derrick ) Brooks said it best. We don't realize it now, but those penalties will come down and bite us in the butt down the road. We need to take those things now and realize that penalties will hurt us in the long run.

That's something he's been doing since mini-camp. When you jump on someone's throat like we did (Thursday night), you're going to win 80 percent of the time.

It's amazing how things work out, ... When your opportunity comes, you've got to make the most of it.

Oh, it was definitely a point of reference. It was definitely something that was talked about.

He's a Hall of Fame quarterback, ... It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
