He has a knack for knowing who's supposed to block him, at what angle they're supposed to block him. He has a knack for defeating those angles. |
He has been an awfully good player for us the last three years. People talk about our linebackers, and they leave him out. That's a mistake. |
He is absolutely fine. He's going to be back practicing and back to normal. There's nothing to worry about. |
He is just a tremendous player for us. He doesn't get a lot of credit when people talk about our linebackers. |
He needed some personal time off. He'll be back with us next week. |
He stacks up well. He's speedy. He's tough. He has breakaway speed. The thing I like the most about him is he's a tough customer. That guy's fearless, a hard-nosed, tough kid. We always have room for those guys here. |
He's going to win a job at one of the guard spots. There is no question in my mind. |
He's graded very well, |
He's what we call a package player. He's not an every-down player for us, but he's a force for us. |
I informed him it's in his best interests, and ours, to look for another opportunity and we're assisting him and helping him with a Division II opportunity. He's a good kid. We really like Bruce, but feel like it was in our best interests, and his, to part company. |
I think that's the right thing to do. We won't plan to do this every week, but this week it's appropriate. |
I think the offensive line will be a strength. We did lose a very good center, and once we get that position solidified, we should be in good shape. |
I think we are going to be pretty decent on defense. We have more speed on defense now than any time we have been here. You can see the defensive line is a pretty hard-nosed bunch of guys. |
I think we found out a lot about our team, |
I think we're coming around just fine, and we'll use this week to find out what we need to shore up. |
