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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
guys time
It's not like we just stop. Now it's time to get the guys for 2007.
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.
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.
good heck lost momentum time
We weren't too good today. We started out good, but we lost some momentum in there and had a heck of a time getting in synch.
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.
edges rough
We were rough around the edges there, not where we need to be.
challenge experience position proves starting until year
Right now, Brandon is our starting quarterback and I would never challenge that position at this point. He's going to be our starting quarterback until he proves he can't be. With a year of experience now, he's that much better.
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.
