coach excited work year
The thing that I'm excited about right now is another year to work under coach Alvarez.
biggest finish year
One of the biggest things we've got going this year is we want to finish, finish, finish. That's about as big a finish as you're going to (have).
came high knew prepare priority unique year
They're a very unique offense; we knew that. They came out, especially in the first two series, in some things we didn't prepare for. They came out with two backs, (which) wasn't a high priority for them a year ago.
difference grind guy jumps last miss pop pride running shots speed stay willing year
He's a guy who can make a difference - make you miss - and he has the speed to pop through a little hole. They really take a pride in their running game. They'll take their shots down the field, but what jumps out at you - this year and last year - is that they're willing to be patient, willing to grind it out and do what they need to do to stay on the field.
anyone brings case gets path power running shoulder
I like his strength, I like his gamesmanship. If he gets a shoulder on anyone it usually disrupts their path and that's not always the case at the running back position. So I like the power that he brings to the table.
fashion great sees short
I like his strength, I like his gamesmanship. He sees an edge, he'll take it in a short fashion. He's got great power.
health worried
I'm just worried about his health right now.
assure attention backs couple defensive expected five immediate last lost major minimum numbers offensive paid special wide
There was an immediate need at wide receivers, defensive backs and offensive linemen. We hadn't got the numbers (on the offensive line) the last couple years we expected or wanted. So I wanted to go in and get a minimum of five offensive linemen. Sewed that up early. That was probably our major emphasis. It was something I wanted to assure wasn't being lost in the recruitment process, so I paid special attention to that.
best definitely hard leadership works
Not only that but a leadership role. He's someone who works hard every day. He may not be the best in anything individually. But he's definitely going to try and be the best.
ask guy pride second takes
After the second day, he's got it mastered, too. He's just a guy who takes a lot of pride in what we ask him to do.
excited guy
I'm excited because it allows the guy to roam.
believer best bringing competition plenty shake time
I'm a big believer in competition bringing out the best in people. There's plenty of time for this all to shake out.
basically daily entire felt improvement spring throughout
I need to have daily improvement in everything we do and I basically felt throughout the entire spring that we did do that.
continue himself
I like the way he composes himself on the field. They'll continue to make ground.
