Michael Lafaele worked with UH's DL yesterday

About asking Michael Lafaele to provide an emotional boost to their DL yesterday, Vaughn Meatoga (who called Lafaele) said:
"We needed a little wake-up call. He was the alarm." (HSA)


HSA Note: "Lafaele worked with the defensive linemen yesterday, showing them how to use their hands to fight off blockers."


Praising Lafaele, Meatoga said:
"He was a big influence on me when I was a freshman. He taught me about hard work. He had the attitude of a D-lineman. He didn't care about anybody but his boys. He went out and killed offensive linemen." (HSA)


About what he said to the DL, Lafaele said:
"I told them the defensive line is the heart of the defense, the heart of the team. They have to control the line of scrimmage, take pride in that kind of stuff." (HSA)


About how Lafaele played with a painful ankle injury in 2007, Kaniela Tuipulotu said:
"He was hurt, but you couldn't tell. He kept playing hard. He was an animal out there. You can't ever second-guess a guy like that." (HSA)


HSA Note: "Lafaele, who works for a marketing company, said his football career has ended."


About how Lafaele is in great shape, Meatoga said:
"Look at him. He's in shape. He probably could suit up right now if he had to." (HSA)
