(McDonald) is making more of an impact. He is getting around the field a lot more. |
(The offense) had the upper hand, there's no question about it. I think we need to make some headway in the secondary, I think that's real obvious is it not. |
(They) are not coming out and talking to these people. That's how I'm going to address it. |
A play like that really is an emotional lift that picks up everyone. He turns his body and knifes through there. You don't have to give him much of a crack. |
All four of these guys have displayed great leadership qualities since the end of last season when the team became theirs as seniors. Each of them has his own style of leadership, and I am confident their teammates will listen to the messages they convey. They also are leaders by example. |
All my relatives in Orlando came through for me, |
Also, we wanted to change some things in our offense so that we would present some new and different-looking problems for our opponents. The game is a chess game. You're always trying to stay one move ahead of your opponent. |
Another huge step for our program is that we will have a rebuilt practice field that matches our game field. This will allow us the opportunity to prepare as a team under the most ideal conditions. |
As a coach, it takes time to mesh with the rest of the staff and the players. It will take some time, but the players are starting to understand what he expects. |
As the season went along and losses began to mount, we began to examine everything. We probably made the change out of frustration more than anything else. We just weren't executing the offense. We felt like we were leaving too many plays on the field. |
As we've learned through experience, it's not good to have them (lie) around all day. |
Because of their experience, our offensive line should be playing well, and they are. Our physicality showed up on the goal line, and that was a positive. |
Bill is an accomplished coach who has been a coordinator in the past and understands the responsibilities that go along with the position. He has experience and is very capable. |
Bill knows our system as well as anyone. That's why he was chosen. Bottom line: He is a guy who will be able to get it done. |
Brandon Kirsch doesn't lack confidence. He's not one of those cold and timid souls that's going to disappear when the ball is snapped. |
