ASK THE STEELERS – BRUCE DAVIS – PART 2

Steelers.com brings you the Ask the Steelers feature. Fans submitted the questions that were asked. Please understand that we receive an incredible number of questions for each player, with many of the questions being similar, and not all of the questions can be answered. We selected as many as possible, and took your questions to the current subject to get your answers.

 

From Dave Cannon in Los Angeles, California: What was your best memory from your time at UCLA? Bruce Davis: Beating USC.

From Rod Irish in Waynesboro, Pennsylvania: Would you prefer to play linebacker or on the defensive line?
Bruce Davis: I like it just as the Steelers have me doing it right now. I think it's the perfect situation. I am going to have to learn a couple of new things but that is part of the process.

It's great. I have a lot to live up to, I know that. Most of it is my own
expectations. It helps just to know you are a part of a long line of great linebackers
and you could potentially be the next one is a great feeling. With the veterans that we
have now there is so much I can learn from them to make me a better football player.

From Lisa Jacobs in Bethel Park, Pennsylvania: Is there a player in the NFL right now that you would compare yourself to?

Bruce Davis: I would say Jason Taylor because we are the same type of player.
He gets to the quarterback. He can stand up and play in the two-point. He can also
put his hand down and play defensive end. I do the same thing and we have the
same kind of game.

From Tim Harrison in Canfield, Ohio: What do you prefer, sacking the quarterback or stuffing a running back for a loss and why?

Bruce Davis: I have to say sacking the quarterback because that is a really big play.
No matter what time of the game it happens it's a really big play and they can lose a
lot of yards.  

From Jake

Kurnot in Dunbar, Pennsylvania: Now that you have gone through your first minicamp, what are your initial impressions of the Steelers defense?
Bruce Davis: We've got a talented group. There is no doubt about that. The veteran players are great. The younger players and rookies we have a lot of good things going. We're the Steelers.

From Al Linderman in San Antonio, Texas: Considering where you grew up, and having played college ball in Southern California, do you think adjusting to the weather in Pittsburgh will be a concern for you, especially as the season wears on?

Bruce Davis: I don't think so. When it comes down to it I play football no matter what condition it's in. I am sure there will be some getting used it, but it shouldn't take long.
