good lucky nice players replace
The nice thing about Auburn is you can replace good players with good players. We were lucky enough to do that.
ball catch explore guy nice
It's nice to know you've got another guy who can really catch the ball and do something with it when he catches it. We'll find a way to explore that.
bad ball breakdown dropped protection seemed throw
We lacked rhythm. We dropped the ball or we made a bad throw or we had a protection breakdown seemed it was something different every time.
good ourselves playing spring talent today
We've got good enough talent that we should have represented ourselves better than that. We've had a pretty good spring - we've been playing better than that - but today we weren't very good.
bit easy jumps needs notice receiver refinement
He still needs some refinement in his blocking, but he's every bit of the receiver we thought he'd be. That jumps out at you. He's easy to notice because he has that kind of capability.
ball five guy last partly replaced rushed system top understand year
We rushed the ball better this year than last year when we had two top five (NFL) picks. Why? Partly because the guy we replaced them with is pretty good. But they also understand the system better now.
edges rough
We were rough around the edges there, not where we need to be.
fired mix passes rough run thrown
This was a little more of a mix with run and pass. We were rough around the edges, but I think it was productive. At least we got some passes thrown today. I was kind of fired up about that.
couple courtney feeling games past year
The past couple of games he hasn't been the real Courtney Taylor. Now that he's feeling better, we're going to try to get out of him what we got a year ago.
doubt
We'll get him more involved. No doubt about it.
caught matter points remember score yards
I remember what it was like to be a young coach. Sometimes you get caught up in how many points you score or how many yards you can gain. Let me tell you, it doesn't matter if you score 60 points and they score one more than you.
blame credit full gave half partly pressure run running rushes second signs
I think we put too much pressure on Brandon, you know? I take full blame for that. I think we probably could have run it a little better than I gave us credit for. In the second half I think we showed some signs of running the football. When you only have (23) rushes for 50 yards, that's partly play-calling, too.
develop guy half planning receiving speaks
He's going to be a guy when we get to game-planning, we're going to make him more of a part of it. I think his receiving speaks for itself. He's got to develop as a blocker and he's not half bad.
bit brown receiving ronnie skills solid
He's been a really solid player. His receiving skills have improved. He could play a little bit of a Ronnie Brown role, but I don't know that he would exclusively do that role.
