I think the Grand Slam tournaments are events where you try and bring the best out of you, when it comes to concentration, when it comes to playing with energy, good footwork, being aggressive and being consistent point by point, a good start is always important, trying to conserve energy, trying to avoid playing long matches.

Hell look at it as a challenge, but hell be confident that eventually, they can win a lot of games there in Cincinnati. – Jimmy Burrow	Found on FOX News 4 years ago
Adams, who caught two touchdowns and had a franchise playoff-record 160 yards in a win over the Seattle Seahawks last Sunday in the NFC divisional round, now must face one of the top defenses in the NFL and one of the leagues best cornerbacks. Well, I mean, it doesnt change, really, Adams said on facing Richard Sherman. Hes definitely a great player, and people have said a lot about whether hes fell off or what not and I dont see that. I see that hes still the same guy, still making plays. Shermans 35 interceptions since entering the league in 2011 are the most among active players during that span. The 31-year-old is looking to make his third Super Bowl appearance after being one of the key parts to the Seahawks back-to-back Super Bowl appearances in the 2013 and 2014 seasons. Though Shermans resume is longer than Adams, the respect between the two is mutual. Hes very good at beating man coverage. – Richard Sherman	Found on FOX News 4 years ago
Once we got the pads on in training camp, it was very eye-opening, they made it difficult on us in training camp and it transferred over to the season, thankfully. – Jimmy Garoppolo	Found on FOX News 4 years ago
I told Dee, I wish I could scare people with my presence like you do, i mean, when a guard sees Dee Ford on them, their mind is racing, theyre thinking about what hes about to do, whatever it is. Just having his presence and his pass-rush ability, his knowledge and communication, hes a true vet. Its nice to have him out there. – Nick Bosa	Found on FOX News 4 years ago
Obviously making the plays is good, but, I mean, I try and bring the same effort, same technique, same everything every week. (Sunday) I got a couple sacks. That always helps. But most of the plays that Im most proud of are the plays that werent the sacks. – Nick Bosa	Found on FOX News 4 years ago
