The first key is pass protection -- giving the quarterback enough time. After that, it's getting guys open. The QB has to know where the receivers are going, how the defenses cover them. You need a smart guy who will make smart decisions 95 percent of the time. |
The fun thing about here, ... is that no one says, 'That doesn't work in the NFL.' I haven't heard that here. |
The games will only get harder, |
The kids that play at a higher level, if they are good players at that level, then maybe they would have a little priority over a kid at a smaller level. |
The only thing I know is he's got a lawyer talking to our lawyer trying to settle his deal. He told me he's not coming back. So that's all I know. |
The only thing I think I got was a little humility to the fact that you have a greater appreciation for all coaches. Sometimes you can coach your heart out, hard as you can, and the other guy just may have a better team and better players. |
The only thing we try to do is prepare our team for the real season, ... To be the best we can on Sept. 8. That's what we're trying to do. ... We shoot for balance. We're going to try and hit enough, not too much. We're going to try and run enough, not too much. And practice plenty without running ourselves into the ground. I would imagine everybody tries to do that. |
The time I went there, they weren't near the team they are now, ... A different environment, completely different. A different team. A different head coach. The fans, probably their enthusiasm is about 10 times greater than it was that day. |
The time I went there, they weren't near the team they are now, ... The fans left by the third quarter, I think, the last time I was there. A different environment, completely different. A different team. A different head coach. |
The time I went there, they weren't near the team they are now. A different environment, completely different, different team, different head coach. |
The university has graciously ruled in favor of Freddy and it now appears he is eligible to be back on the team. He will begin as the third team guard and will have to work his way up. |
The way he ran the other day, I'd like to see him run again. We're just not making many yards. Maybe he can make some. |
The way our pass protection is right now, I don't know if Blake could last anyway. |
The whole line has been so-so. There's not really a standout player thus far in the first two games. |
Their athletes look faster, quicker than in the past, ... Certainly, (they're) a well-coached bunch of guys and they all play hard. You don't see guys loafing around and dodging tackles. They play all out. We've got to play our best to beat these guys this week. |
