Speaking of Asipi Jr, how was it playing with him?
Hopes for your career?

I think the biggest burden will be on us Season 1 guys to keep working hard so that regression doesn't impact us too much. But we also have some talented younger players of our own that should be able to step up and we'll hopefully be able to see some impact from the players that we added in the draft this year. But even with regression I think our active players shouldn't see too much drop off this year and I think we still return most of the talent from last season so we should be able to have another good year.

It was a lot of fun getting to play with him. Having him on the defensive line really helped open things up on defense. His ability to occupy blockers made it easier for the linebackers to rush in and get to the quarterback or stuff the running back. We'll miss him next season but it was fun getting the chance to play with him for a few games.

My main hope is to be able to get a ring before I retire. I've had some close calls in my career, making it to the championship game in Season 1 and getting the number one overall seed this season, but I've never been able to go all the way and cap it off so I'm hoping that I'll be able to win a championship at least once in my career. On an individual level, I've never won a positional award so it would be cool to win Linebacker of the Year at some point and maybe even try to win Defensive Player of the Year. Those could be hard but on a smaller level, I'm hoping to make the Pro Bowl a couple more times in my career.
