Question (cherno jammeh):
hey Trevor thanks for the advice i want to ask two questions. about how much did you bench when you where in high school and do you think that you will have more playing time then Brian smith.
Response from Trevor:
I benched about 365 back in high school. Not sure about playing time, but since we play different positions hopefully we both can get on the field.
Question (Brenda):
I have a 14 yr old son, who would like to play Division I football. He is 6', 250lbs and quick! His dad (my husband) has coached college football so he also has some good training. What advice would you give him to get to your level of play? Are there things you would recommend us attending or doing? What advice would your parents give us, the parents?
Response from Trevor:
Well, number one is hit the weights hard. Lifting and getting in shape is key. There really is no substitute for that. Also, wrestling helped me tremendously. Helped with leverage, balance, strenght, conditioning...also helped with the mental side of things as wrestling is a very demanding sport. Hit up the AVHS football camps in the summer so the coaches get to know your son, get him in the weight room there, just get him visible. If he's a standout, he'll get noticed. As for parental advice...shoot, I dunno...just be supportive I guess.
Question (Stella):
I want to know where I can get a Trevor Laws Jersey, they didnt have them on the Eagles website?
Response from Trevor:
Yeah, check the Fans Edge and the official NFL Shop. Both have them...altho the Fans Edge has them for less I think.
Question (Paul D):
93 Domer here...who was the best O-lineman you played against while at ND?
Best ND athlete during your tenure?
Have a great season.
Response from Trevor:
Well, John Sullivan was definitely the best I played against, but outside of ND Drew Radovich from USC was tough. I always seemed to have problems with him. Best athlete at ND...hmmm...Jeff was a great athlete obviously, so was Tommy...but obviously I'm gonna have to go with myself. :-)
Comment (Jake):
i was on the Eagles website and i watched the video of the draft rookies and i saw you. oh i love madden and im getting the new game tomarrow you should get it Madden 09 thanks bye oh im 12.
Response from Trevor:
Thanks Jake! I'm definitely pumped to see what Madden has to offer...altho I heard I'm pretty fat in the game!!!
Question (Jason):
What's up man? I am so glad the Eagles got to pick you up. I saw you in one game, and I was impressed. I never thought we'd pick youup. I just wanted to know, what has been the hardest part of every-thing so far?
Response from Trevor:
Hey Jason, thanks for the compliments. That's sweet. The hardest part is just getting used to the demanding schedule and learning technique. I thought I was very sound on my technique, but I've learned so much since being up here it's crazy. Camp was really tough too, it's practically 24/7 football. Ask me again in week 12 when I'm all beat up and maybe I'll say something different!
Comment (Thom Calabrese):
TrevorI work with your uncle Skip at construction jobs.When he said he had a relative that got drafted by the beagles I didn't know it was hisniece. If that's the best you got, you better go to mass twice on Sunday Nov 9th when you play the G-Men.
Response from Trevor:
Wow. I can't believe my Uncle talks to people with little to no education. Your precious team will be getting destroyed on Nov 9th. Mark it down!
Question (Fitz):
Yo Trev - I'm excited to have you as a part of the Eagles. Good Lucik with your career and I hope you are an Eagle for a long time. Anyway, Dude, I wanted to buy a Club 93 shirt, but you only have larges as the biggest size. What's up with that? Man, I need at least a XXL, can you get your bro to order larger sizes?? Thanks.
Response from Trevor:
Hey Fitz thanks for the interest in the Club 93 shirts. Unfortunately they've gone fast and only have a few sizes left. We will definitely be ordering more, and bigger sizes too. We may be doing a dark green this time too...we'll let everyone know for sure.
Question (Kevin McNally):
You were awesome to watch on Saturdays and I look forward to seeing you on Sundays. My question is about ND's D-line this year? Now that you moved on, how do you think the Irish line will fare? What kind of impact do you think Tenuta make?
Response from Trevor:
Thanks Kevin. I actually think the line will do better than expected. Ian Williams proved he can play. Kuntz is back and should step up. Also Smith and Neal will provide some good pressure on the outside. I'm hoping they make a solid contribution. Tenuta should make them all more aggressive...most definitely a good thing.
Question (Christopher):
Hey Trev, i was wondering what is your workout routine to becoming a good one gap defensive tackle as yourself, im sorta makin the same transition in post grad football from nose to 3 tech, and i just wanted to know what do you do to be a good 1 gapper, i seen you in preseason and you were impressive,thanks.
Response from Trevor:
Well, 3 technique is all about explosiveness, speed and making big plays. You have to really be a technician in there as well, so learn good technique. Especially be good with your hands. Work on your lower body a lot too. That's where most of your drive and explosion comes from. Also just be willing to do anything to make the play...get twisted around, spin, rip...whatever it takes bro.
Question (Nicole):
Hey Trevor!! Congrats on all the success. What is the name of that song at the beginning of your draft party video, it's awesome. Best of luck :)
Response from Trevor:
That is "Sitting, Wishing, Waiting" by Jack Johnson.
Question (Lamont):
Trevor how is the atmosphere in Philly different than that of NotreDame? What do you think you need to do in order to be a playmakerat the next level? Good luck to ya and hope to see ya out there on the field makin some plays.
Response from Trevor:
Well Philly so far has been great. Both Philly and ND have very passionate fans and they expect a winning team each and every year. I think in Philly if you play hard, and put forth 100% effort, they will love you and support you. That's what I do every play so I'm hoping it's a good match.
Question (Scotty):
Trevor, do you watch the UFC if so, who are some of your favorite fighters?
Response from Trevor:
Yeah, I love watching UFC. I'm a big fan of Fedor...he's a beast.
Question (Matt):
I know you are busy but are you still keeping up with Jeff and Zibby? And what do you think of those REAL philly steak sandwiches??!
Response from Trevor:
Oh for sure I keep up with my boys. They are both playing great right now and doing their thing. In fact, Jeff's bro just had their first baby...a little girl! Of course I love the cheesesteaks...there's really nothing to not love about them. Gotta keep sampling them til I find the best ones!
