Had Nguyen been a QB, of course, (or a stud WR/RB) the conversation would be totally different. The fact is, linebacker just isn't very sexy, unless you're name is Ray Lewis or you play in a 3-4 and get to blitz every play like Clay Matthews. I'll add...

When you watch them, like (Sunday), they're physical, they're tough, they can cover and they've got some of the best players in the history of the NFL at their positions, in Suggs and Ray Lewis and Ed Reed and Haloti Ngata -- you've got phenomenal players there. So we've really got our work cut out for ...
Baltimore Ravens' defense has been one of the best in the NFL for most of the past decade. Despite the future retirements of both Ray Lewis and Ed Reed, this defense should be just fine and in the good hands of Terrell Suggs, Haloti Ngata, Lardarius...
He’s a bit light at 210-215 lbs, but he carries it well on his 6’1″ frame. I hate doing this because it’s an unfair comparison, but his film reminds me of Ray Lewis. That doesn’t mean that he is going to be one of the greatest linebackers ever, it just...

We know we have a big test next week ... Tom is playing excellent up there, and what they did to the Broncos last night, I think they sent a message to whoever was coming up there. So, we've got our hands full and we've got to go up and get ready to play in the AFC championship.
When we got up 17-3, the No. 1 thing I told them is: `They're going to make a rally. Every great team makes a rally,' ... And this is what playoff football is all about. I mean, year after year and time after time, great competition going against each other, it really does get no better.
The only reason you play this game is for the opportunity to go to the Super Bowl
The bottom line is you win or you go home
I told Joe you are not winning or losing games by yourself
I've said this a million times
In fourth quarters, your fundamentals go out the door
It seems like every time we play them, it's up there [Foxborough]
We know that they’re going to run the ball ... We know they’re very good at running the ball.
I told him ‘All that pain you have, build up your pain to be a better man,’ ... Don’t build up your pain and let your frustrations come out. That’s the testimony. I didn’t have the blueprint. My dad didn’t give it to me. The only blueprint I had was God’s work. That’s the lesson you can always carry wit...
We have the team to do it now. We don't have too many more excuses ... Let's go do it right now. Then whatever else comes after that for all of your careers, you go enjoy it, but go win a championship.
I'm doing everything I can to get back and help this team get where we want to go
We just made the decision in the locker room
I am taking every opportunity to get treatment on my foot to prepare to play on Thursday ... Anytime you see your team on the field, you always want to be out there with them. As the leader of your team, it doesn't sit well with me to be on the sidelines.
I think those reports are terrible. It's nothing like that.
The one I talk to the most, who I think kind of emulates me a lot, is Patrick Willis
I apologize for not being available as I normally am on a day like today, but I am taking every opportunity to get treatment on my foot to prepare to play on Thursday
