But he's in the shotgun and a lot of it is quick releases. A lot of it is sprint-outs, where it's hard to get to him anyhow. They've devised a scheme where it's difficult to really pressure him. You're not going to get many sacks. |
Coach Mason could have taken a safety, but that's his call and I'm not going to second-guess him. |
Could you tell me one? |
Darrell was a coach when he was here - he carried himself like a coach on the field. He always thought like a coach. He wasn't a gifted athlete but he always knew where to go with the ball. I don't think there was ever any question what he wanted to do. He was going to coach some day. |
Defensively, we've got to improve. And I'm going to emphasize that whatever we didn't do well in that game, people are going to pick on. If you don't improve, you're in trouble. |
Did you say not too many would pick (us) to be in this position? |
Every day, you see different things, you get different experiences, make adjustments on the run, |
Every game in this league is a big game and every one, there's always an issue because all the games ... we've had good games with them. |
Everybody has a role on the team, and some have a role as a scout team player. They have to emulate the offenses that we are going to face. Those players still have to go through the out-of-season work and they work hard. |
For the first time in a long time, we weren't good in short yardage or red zone, the percentages that we normally set. So, that's a point of emphasis. |
Frankly, there are not too many guys in my business who can do it. |
Hayden came back and said, 'Listen, I just listened to all of those guys and if we're just sound in everything we do, if we're sound on offense, we're sound on defense and we're sound in the kicking game, we'll win at least four (Big Ten) games,' |
He agreed with my assessment. So we'll get a late flag. |
He can move, |
He can move. He's very athletic. I don't even know what he weighs. I don't care. ... If he moves well enough, he can weigh 400. He is a giant, though. He makes Kemp look like a little guy. |
