Ikaika Interview

Garret from UH Warrior Quotes finds this great interview of Ikaika Alama-Francis from the Lions website. Here's an excerpt:

The Lions coaches are just as anxious to see Alama-Francis practicing with the rest of the team. At 6-5 and 280 pounds, he is a big – but lean – player and could make a major impact on the Detroit defensive line.

"I'm getting more comfortable with (the defensive system),” said Alama-Francis. “Switching from a 3-4 to a 4-3 is a totally different scheme. When I first got here (Coach Marinelli) was like, 'Get off the ball!' I thought, 'Oh, no really? Yes!' It makes my job easier – just go get the quarterback. I'm enjoying the new system; I can't wait to play."

There's a lot more. Ikaika is very positive on and off the field. Check it out.
