Definitely. Unfortunately, there's not a huge cast of overseas players to compete against - Only Osi Umenyiora, Star Lotulelei and Jay Ajayi stand out. Those three guys have to be my target, to be what I push to beat.
Dinklburger01 Wrote:2. Do you feel like being foreign has been a disadvantage at all?
When I first started playing in college, definitely. I'd seen playbooks before, I'd read up on what I could find online, but I'd never played from them - I'd never run a route or taken a counter. So, that took some time to get under my belt.
Now, four years on? Not at all. I know what doing, I'm confident I can execute everything I need to. When I'm given the chance, I know I can do that.
Dinklburger01 Wrote:3. How good would you say you are when it comes to ball carrier vision?
I always thought that "ball-carrier vision" was a funny term, that it wasn't quite right. Everyone coming out of college football has the mental capacity to spot a defender coming at them. The real problem people have is decision making and instinct. It's not about seeing the linebacker setting the edge, it's understanding that you're being forced to make a cut and executing that decision perfectly. Too many players have great vision, they see the defenders and they panic and all we end up with is a pile of bodies on the line of scrimmage. I'm not that player, I'm a decision maker and I have the predator instincts to succeed.

Never.
Dinklburger01 Wrote:5. Are you confident in your ability to receive out of the backfield?
Definitely. As I've said before, I've proved at Pitt that I was more than able to do that, to become an option in the passing game from the backfield. Furthermore, I'm willing to learn if necessary and use my abilities from the slot if a coach needs me to be more versatile.
