Shane Olivea Quotations

You can't look down the road and say we should be this or this by the time we play that team. Every game we've got to treat like it's our last.

It's night and day. Mentally, it's just so much easier. Now you can just go out there and work on the physical and just react. This year, nothing is confusing to me.

We want to be a dominant line and a line that people fear,

We didn't play well enough down the stretch to win. We're hungry to get the rushing game going.

It's pretty loud and wild. And they use it to their advantage.

But they are coming to our place. And we still feel that our backs are up against the wall. Just because we won last week, that was a good boost. But every week from here on out is crucial.

The Dolphins had talked about taking me in the third round. But they called me about five picks before their pick and told me their doctor thought I would need surgery. When the fourth round came and went and I wasn't taken, I didn't watch the draft anymore.

They would've been watching, anyway, but they don't always get a chance to see the Chargers. Personally, it's going to be quite a thrill to play against the Giants. The game means a whole lot, anyway, because of the implications in the way we've started off. It's a must-win game for us.

When you win, everything is overlooked. When you lose, everything is under a microscope.

It just didn't pan out. You sit there and you wonder why. It's frustrating. I personally feel we let LT down . . . because we wanted to get him that record more than maybe him.
