[Leinart acknowledged before summer camp began that he was] upset ... The good thing about this year is the coaches are younger and we can relate to them really well. These guys are younger, fiery and they want us to do well. I saw that in spring ball; we did not miss a beat. |
about two minutes. I enjoy working here. |
Believe me, Southern Cal is going to be just fine, and Matt's going to be just fine, ... I wasn't throwing any of those passes or making any of those catches. There's not going to be a drop-off. They're going to be just as good as ever. |
Everyone thinks I've been offered all these job opportunities. There's only been one job offer I turned down. It's not like people are banging down the door. |
He hasn't played much, but he has certainly handled himself well the two days of practice. He's a guy that studies and works at it. He's passionate and he cares about what he is doing. ... He is spunky, and I like that. |
He looks a lot better, a lot stronger, a year older, a year more mature physically. You don't have to convince me. |

Hey, I copied every play I ever learned from guys who are a lot smarter than I am. |
I think coordinators have always done the same stuff. Every play I've run, I've copied. ... Maybe it's just more notoriety. Maybe it's easier to blame somebody else. |
I think he's a tremendous player. He's so explosive. |
I told the guys (other assistants), 'If you think of something, write it down, because I'm not going to have enough time to talk about it,' |
I'd absolutely love it. I told Matt to pretend he didn't know what he was talking about in his interviews with teams so they'd wonder about him. Then, we'll be able to draft him. |
In this offense, Steve has a lot of leeway at the line of scrimmage. I trust him. |
Last year, we relied on our receivers because our backs were so young. Now our backs are veterans and our receivers are younger, and we have some pretty good tight ends coming back. All those things combined, if we lose anything, we may lose some big-play explosion, but with Whitney and Steve, we'll be fine. |
Matt doesn't have to convince me, but we all have to get it done. I am sure the general manager and the head coach will make a good decision. |
