We've six guys battling for two spots. We're in the best position to find two quality guys since I've been here. |
When he gets to the second level, there is no catching him from behind, at least not on this team. If you don't turn those guys and let them catch it in stride, they have a better chance to make big plays. The safety wasn't used to seeing that kind of speed and took the wrong angle on it, and (Ford) was gone. |
When you play more zone, which we do, you expect collisions. I would have thought we would have had more full-speed collisions and more serious contact for some highlight-film material than we've had in two games. And hopefully that will pick up. |
Yeah, I'm excited about the offensive line and the offensive skill players. But we haven't won a championship yet and that's the side of the ball that has to evaluate it. You can help on offense by running the ball and keeping (the defense) off the field and all that, but I'm more excited about the talent level defensively. |
You can't stop him. You can only contain him. |
You have to turn over about every stone you can. Usually, you talk to a kid about his mom up there watching, or his grandparents, or his girlfriend or whoever is up there watching. You appeal more to personal pride. |
You hear a lot about their defensive ends (Mario Williams and Manny Lawson] but Mc Cargo is a guy that could possibly go in the first round if he came out early. |
You just can't hit him flush. |
You like to see the state be a success. |
You see blood hurting, husband or son, ... Somebody's hurting Sunday, which reflects back on her. We get paid well to hurt. She doesn't. |
You win games with strong offensive line play, but you win championships with strong play on the defensive line. The play of the freshmen defensive linemen will be important for us. They made great improvement over the course of the season and they will have to keep improving. |
You'd like to see one side control the day -- I'd prefer defense -- control the whole tempo and the whole success of the offense. |
You'd like to see the offensive line kind of take control of the scrimmage to be honest with you. You like to see them come out there and establish some sort of running superiority. |
You're going to lose right now, our biggest weapon back there. That's the most productive we've had a guy run since I've been here. We're going to miss that. ... Pretty significant at this point in time. |
You're trying to get a comfort zone with the parents. You want the family to feel comfortable with me in charge of their son. |
