Q: There was a play where rookie linebacker Tommy Eichenberg dropped in zone and got his hand up on the ball that would have been a completion. How do you feel when you see a linebacker that has the savviness to make that kind of a play?

Coach Pierce: “You see my smile. When you see a linebacker playing like that, that's fun to watch. Tommy is interesting, right? Didn't run a 40 and people question his speed, but one thing you can't question is his toughness, his anticipation, his feel for the game, the natural ability to move like a linebacker. He sees the game well. I mean, he's come out, and it's funny because he sang pop smoke for his rookie intro and that was an interesting song topic. But I mean he has a little confidence about him, he got a little swag about him. It was cool to watch that. But Tommy has really done a really good job of studying the game of football. I think Spil [Robert Spillane] and Mike Caldwell have done a great job of just putting in that extra work before practice and after practice and it’s showing up.”
