(Johnson) gave up a couple of sacks against (Florida Atlantic) and got lazy and had a holding penalty, but when we came back in and studied all the tapes he was the MVP of the offensive line, |
a good football team. I think they will have just as good a chance as anybody to win the North. |
As soon as Fedora was hired, it didn't take (Johnson) long to figure out that we'd split the tight ends out more. He knew that wasn't gonna be him so he asked if he could move down. |
At some of the positions we have on our team, some of these freshmen are going to have to play, and we rely on them to learn and gather information and come out here and fight through being a college football player and be able to play in the first game. It takes a lot. |
Bobby has got to play better. (He) went through some growing pains . . . and I'm sure he would tell you that. He made some mistakes. |
Bobby has gotten considerably better, ... We thought as a staff, if he was able to take a majority of the snaps instead of 50-50, it would give him a chance to excel. |
Donovan has had more practice reps, but in the last 10-12 days, Bobby has gotten considerably better. We thought if he could take the majority of practice reps, it would give him the opportunity to excel. |
Donovan started all the games in 2004 and took most of the reps with the first team in spring practice. It will benefit our team and the offense to have an up-and-coming youngster like Bobby Reid at quarterback. |
He'll get a chance to play at the next level. He's got good feet, he's very smart, he's a hard worker, he does everything right, he's 300 pounds - he'll get a chance. |
He's got good feet and may be mentally far enough along to play at this level. |
He's got some potential to make some big plays. |
I have a pretty good idea of what Donovan's going to do because I know him. I don't have any idea what Bobby's going to do. |
I know what I'm saying, but I'm not trying to play the thing up. I still say when you have a quarterback who's a good player, you've got a chance in every game. |
I let my aggressiveness take me over there. A smart coach would have kicked a field goal. |
I thought Al did a good job for just being thrown into the fire. He understands structure. He understands blitzes. He understands coverage and it has paid off for him. |
