He was tough to tackle, but we should have gotten to him several times. I was disappointed with the loss and with the tackling. |
He's been impressive, and he's going to lend at least quality depth to the (center) position. |
He's been very impressive. He has all the ability we thought he had, maybe more. |
He's bigger and stronger, and he knows what he's doing. He's matured. That's always the key. |
He's going to be out a while, |
He's got great toughness. He's got great vision. And he's got great size. |
He's grown up. He's mature. But he was tough. He could take a punch and get back up. Even four years ago, it was obvious he was going to be an outstanding quarterback. |
He's left-handed. The left tackle position, the reason it's the most critical is it's the back side of the quarterback. That quarterback needs to feel secure. |
He's made very good progress, as has Justin Boren. Both those kids, considering they just walked in the door in January, have done very well. |
He's really improved throwing the football from the standpoint of seeing the field. When he's dropping back, he's doing a great job looking off, finding alternative receivers. His presence there is outstanding, and he still has the ability when things break down to make a play. |
He's so competitive, he's so tough, and he's so smart. Once he got a chance to play, he performed well, and he had a great career. I don't like the word 'overachiever.' I called him that once, and he said, 'What do you mean by that?' I said, 'What I mean is, I can't give a guy a higher compliment.' Sometimes when you get called that, it's like you don't have any ability, you just play hard. He had ability. |
Henne was in the end zone. I'm sure they'll say it wasn't. He was in the end zone and I think they just did not do a good job in the booth, because it's the kind of play that should have been reviewed. |
Here at Michigan the goals are always extremely high and the expectations are always great. When you stumble early, that's when you really find out how tough your team is. |
His father is a New York City policeman. And we had a great visit, and of course his dad told us a lot of stories about 9/11, as you can imagine, with him being there and having a lot of friends involved in that day. |
His greatest strength is that he's smart, ... The most difficult part about trying to evaluate quarterbacks is determining whether or not they'll be able to embrace the pressure. Matt comes from an excellent background. He's been in a high-school program that had more exposure than any program in the country. He made it very clear he was excited about the challenge of playing in a program like this. |
