Defensive ends and corners are the hardest guys to recruit. |
He can lead us to the championship. Omar and I have talked, and the great quarterbacks in the history of our conference have all taken their teams to championships. |
He has a great demeanor. He thinks, '(Scoring) is what we're supposed to do.' That's good. I like it. |
He has great instincts, ball skills - you can tell he has been well coached - and he's just a good young player. |
He's a veteran kid who just quietly does his job back there. |
He's always run a clean program in the years I've coached with him. He would never create a situation intentionally that would bring disrespect to him or his program. |
He's doing a nice job with it. It can get overwhelming, which it's becoming. We have to manage that and make sure it doesn't get out of control and we're able to keep him grounded and focused on the task at hand. |
I hope that we can get some stops. The key is when we have the ball, we've got to score and take advantage of our opportunities, because if they get into us and start pounding us ... |
I like the defensive speed. I think we really helped ourselves at linebacker and in the secondary. That side of the ball has really improved itself. |
I really liked the effort on both sides of the ball. Next time we get together is August and we're going to pick up right where we left off. |
I'm just going to show up at practice with a box of Pampers. |
It wasn't a stellar performance by any stretch, but you know what, it's tough to win on the road in this league. We're in the grind mode. We're working hard to get victories. |
It's too early in the week right now [to know]. |
Omar does a nice job taking care of the football. We do a good job coaching that ... stressing getting rid of the ball on time and protecting our quarterback. We do a nice job with him inside the system and don't throw a lot of high-risk plays. |
Omar was poised in there, didn't get rattled and made some nice throws. His receivers bailed him out a couple of times. But he moved the club. |
