facilitate guy plan pure rather type
We can always facilitate not having a pure fullback. We'd rather have a guy that can give us the type of productivity that (departed senior) Jake Slaughter did, but if we don't, then we'll go to Plan B.
chance glorified good guys move
You know how no-pads (practices) are -- it's like glorified aerobics. It's not really football, but it's a good chance to see guys move around.
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.
guys time
It's not like we just stop. Now it's time to get the guys for 2007.
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.
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.
dime flashes goes good guy kid people stood threw
The kid at times showed flashes of brilliance. He stood in there and threw some passes, put them on a dime with people in his face. Once he goes through those experiences, I think that guy could be a really, really good quarterback.
compete decisions good gotten next pressure push spring understand
We're going to try to get him where he can compete for the No. 2 spot. It's going to be very important this spring to see him come around and take that next step. From a fundamental standpoint, he's has gotten much better. Now, he's just got to understand the offense, make good decisions and show it under pressure and he can make a push for that spot.
ball early feet felt letting opening plan possibly pressure running throw
Early on, the plan was to try and take as much pressure off as we possibly could by emphasizing the running game. We felt like we could run the ball pretty well. Once he got his feet on the ground, got set a little bit, we started opening up and letting him throw it.
aggressive goal pads run statement
We wanted to make the statement we can run the ball. In the first scrimmage, we wanted to be aggressive and take it to them. We accomplished our goal of getting pads on pads. We got physical.
balls early start win
That was my intent. We weren't going to come out and start flinging balls all over the lot. We're not going to put it on him to win the game, particularly early in the game.
catch far position shot spring
It doesn't put you so far out of position you can't catch up. I think come spring time, he'll get a shot to show what he's got.
accomplish backs maybe narrow running
We were up 14-0. (We wanted to) see if we can't maul them a little bit, find out who our running backs are, maybe narrow it down. We didn't accomplish it and that is the disappointing thing.
aggressive contact initiative pads purpose running today
Today was a make-a-statement day. In the first scrimmage, we wanted to come out and be aggressive and take the initiative with our running game. We accomplished our purpose today in that we got some pads on some pads, had some contact and we got physical.
