[Freshman] Alan Davis is in the mix now, and one or both of the two freshmen will have to step up. They'll have to play. |
Athletically he is as good as they come, ... But he's not where he needs to be as a player. |

Dale Robinson has made more plays that anyone could have imagined, |
I thought it was okay, pretty good. We pressured a lot from different places. As far as a straight four-man rush, in passing situations, it's hard to gauge that right now. We'll have to see. |
It's amazing when you're playing consistently and not giving up big plays, the perception is now all of a sudden you're playing dominant defense. But over the long haul, in time you're going to give up some plays here and there. |
Just busted coverage. It's a matter of consistency, not having busted assignments. You can't do that. |
The top-line guys in the Washington area this year are as good as anyone in the country. |
They can expose you athletically without proper technique. That's what well-coached teams do. |
This was a great win for us. I think this was about as good as we've played against a pretty good opponent. |
Very talented and very explosive, |
We practiced most of two-a-days without him. It would have been worse if he would have practiced this whole time and then lose him now. Guys got valuable reps and you have to count on them. |
We'll find the guys that want to play and want to prepare. This is a long season, so we have to make these guys respond. |
We're going to be fine. It's a good group. It's not like we're limited in ability. We have ability. |
Whether or not he's ready, it's irrelevant because he's going to play. There's a pecking order of what you have going into the year. He was where he was and now he is where he is. I feel comfortable with Alan and he'll be capable of helping us. |
