Quotes by Mike McGlynn

“They (the Irish) are a good unit, but you cant really compare us to them.”

“Were committed to it, we want to be a physical line and we want to be a good running team, so I have no doubt well get it done.”

“Last year we had to sit back and pass block on every play because defenders really knew we were a passing team. This year, the defensive ends just cant pin back their ears and come right at us.”

“Im fine. Theres some ups and downs. Right now, were coming through. Were getting better every practice. Were becoming a unit. Thats what camp is for.”

“This year to last year, its a big difference. Weve got more combo blocking and stuff like that. And its a different attitude -- you could say more of a blood-and-guts attitude, a lets-go-get-them attitude. Last year, we were kind of passive.”

“I think it is good that we got some experience because all of it helps. I dont know if Ill ever take a snap in a game, but it is good to be ready and the more positions on the line you play, the better it helps you.”
