It's all a bunch of young guys there and it's another indication that this is a tremendously important spring practice. Wheeler and Wang both have got ability and toughness, but they just don't have the experience. |
It's just different. You try to prepare for it here on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday and it's a challenge for your offense. We haven't scored an offensive touchdown in two years. Part of that's them, part of that's us. |
It's just one of those years where more guys than usual left the state, but we'll continue to work hard to get the best players in the state of Virginia. |
It's loud. We've got a vertical stadium. I think it's as loud as any of them. |
It's not a problem to me. When you start talking about 20 million bucks for your athletic department, that's pretty significant. |
It's the first time through for him, and he's a little bit unsure of some things, and I think you can see that a little bit on video. When we recruited him, I thought he was going to be a great player, and now that we've had him for three weeks, three and a half weeks, I know he's going to be a great player. |
It's what you do the last half of the season that really matters. |
Jimmy has changed a lot. He's tried to do things right for this program, and I appreciate him for that. |
Just reading his comments, he seems like a very confident guy. |
Last year, we just had a group of players who came together and played as a team. Hopefully, this year's team can do the same thing. |
Looking at those guys [Williams and Manny Lawson] coming off that edge, you've got to have a really good athlete at offensive tackle. Duane Brown has got great feet for a kid his size. I think he's got the athletic ability to do it, but does he have enough experience to do it? We'll see. |
Marcus has been consistently getting better. Every week you see a little improvement. |
Marcus is a good person. He made some questionable judgments, but as far as working hard to get back and making this a successful ending, he's done everything that we've asked and has had a great summer of preparation and a great preseason of preparation. |
Marcus just went over and just apologized to Elvis. I didn't see (the play) exactly, but Marcus said he didn't really mean to do that. Whatever happened is really unfortunate. |
Marcus said he didn't mean to do it. And he came back to lead us in the second half. |
