He doesn't have to try and do anything special. He's going to make special plays because of his ability, but that has just got to happen naturally. |
He's got an arm to where he can make all the right throws. |
I thought (Stafford) looked good, threw the ball well. He missed a couple, rushed it with his feet, but for his first time going out there in the stadium, I thought he was calm and didn't show any signs of being nervous. He was ready to play. |
It gives us a chance to stretch the field vertically, and it's a big asset getting those guys out of there. |
Joe T. is a smart guy and he's going to prepare and he's going to be ready to play, ... We've just got to get him to relax and not feel like he's got to make things happen for us to win. It's a big game. When you walk up in the stadium, you can tell it's a special environment. |
Now he's playing within himself. His footwork has been excellent. It's all mechanics when it comes to throwing. If your feet are up under you and you are throwing on time, you are usually going to be pretty accurate. |
Overall, they're all pretty laid back. |
The bottom line is you've got to put the ball on the money. |
The guys knew we were close to exploding. We have too many talented skill players [not to], but we needed to execute well. |
We found a way to win. Now we have to find a way to move the football next week. |
We're going to stay with the same rotation. We're evaluating on everything they do — practice, drills and everything. But the bottom line is you're going to glean more out there at the stadium going 11-on-11 when the coach is not right in your ear giving you a reminder every play. |
We've just got to get him to check it down a little more to the underneath guys. He would like to throw that thing deep every time. |
You are always evaluating on what they do, drills and everything, but the bottom line is what they do out in the stadium, playing 11-on-11 without the coach right in your ear giving you a reminder every play. |
You're at a major college like the University of Georgia and people want to know who's playing quarterback. That comes with the job, the pressure, and you've got to have a guy who can handle that. |
