adjustment bit ending football good hardest offensive people point rather themselves
Sometimes, for young players, the hardest adjustment they have to make is just being accountable for everything they do. They want to make the big play, they want to just get to the ending point rather than working themselves through it. You'll see that a little bit with our new offensive guys. They don't know how hard it is to be a good football player. People just think it happens. It's hard...and it's a process.
both good great mark overall plays pleasant surprise
Mark has been a pleasant surprise for us. He has really responded well; the keys, the reads, he's got great ability, just his overall presence. It's good because he can now make plays both ways.
allowed free good handle maybe shows
Which has allowed Shane to take all the No. 2 reps. We just wanted to let him concentrate on doing that and become good at free safety. And, then, if he shows that he can maybe handle more and more things that may be a possibility.

I feel pretty good about having an experienced guy like John back there. He's been through some battles before, and we'll need him to lead us through some more battles when we start our season. I'm counting on John to do some good things for us and get us prepared.
coach coaches fast good head hire knew people
The one thing I knew as a head coach (was) I wanted to hire coaches that are good and eventually, as people know how good they are, people are going to want to try and hire them. Unfortunately, it was way too fast in this instance.
good joe player
The one thing about Joe Thomas, as good of a player as he is, he's even a better person.
balls changes game hands momentum putting
We were putting some balls on the ground. The picks, as many times as we get our hands on the ball, we can't put them on the ground. That changes the momentum of a game in a heartbeat.
people stands
We're going to try to get as many people in the stands as possible. Make it a game-day environment.

carrying certain exactly guy guys health point staff talk
And we'll talk about it as a staff and find out exactly where we think each guy should be. There's a point where certain guys may be carrying too much weight, just from a health standpoint, too.

Andy is a competitor. He came in and played right away as a true freshman at linebacker and has a great competitive spirit ... I'm excited because I think he's found a rebirth a new way and a new opportunity to get on the field.
Everything is kind of up in the air.
