C.J. ultimately coming here, let\u2019s be honest, he came in, he\u2019s seen a big-time run stopper and a guy that can really hold up, particularly towards the end of the season to do some things in that nose tackle position, so to speak. And then when I got here, I seen he had more quickness than he had when he first got here, and he\u2019s gotten better and better throughout the process. To see him be able to spike and do different movements to get to the backfield and cause pass rush and cause disruption, whether it be our first team, second team, whatever team\u2019s out there, watching him do those things. Had his little, small setback, obviously missing a couple days, but he\u2019s been back out there in the mix. So, I\u2019m really fired up to see where he goes from here and what he\u2019s able to do and how he can contribute to that line. All of those guys create such a competition right now, and that\u2019s what you want. You don\u2019t want it to be easy for us to be able to pick out a football team, and I just think they\u2019re making it harder and harder every day.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cHe\u2019s done some really good things.
