Everybody knows who the general is right now. It's hard on your offense when guys are really not sure who is the leader, who is going to take us down the field. They know that Isaiah can do all that now. |
He needs to understand that playing quarterback in this system takes a lot of work and a lot of film study. |
He picked up some receivers on his second and third progression, which I haven't see him do for a while. He's growing, he's doing some good things. He's not just forcing the football all over the place. |
He'd see the pass rush and just start running around. I told him we weren't doing that anymore. |
He's had a great camp. |
He's one of those guys that changed his body in the weight room. |
He's that Washington stereotype tight end, that's what he's going to be. |
His biggest problem was he just missed some throws. Just flat missed them. There were some touchdowns he just overthrew. We can't do that. When we get guys running free down the seam, we've got to hit those. |
His game is improved, so he probably feels more confident in that. |
I don't think it's fair to say he took a step back. I don't think he did. We put him in a tough situation in that two-minute drill with about seven minutes left. The game was clearly out of hand then and to put him in that was hard. |
I hope he takes it because there's nobody better for that job than Dennis Erickson. He's the one who established that program. If anyone can get it going again, it's Dennis Erickson. |
I look for him to bounce back and have a good year. He has set some lofty goals for himself and I really know he's working to meet them. We all would like him to be a consistent runner -- no one more so than himself. |
I think everyone knows who the general is right now. |
I think it all started this summer with him. This was the first time he stayed here. He worked hard, worked hard on his routes. He has clearly improved his route-running. |
I think the biggest thing we have to do at that position is become consistent. We saw flashes at that position last year and I thought Rankin showed flashes, but we weren't consistent. We need to be consistent and we aren't physical enough still. |
