chance convinced drafted early high somebody
Somebody convinced Greg early he was going to be a high pick. It's unfortunate, because you only get a chance to be drafted once.
ball chance coverage guys help kinder lee push roll speed step teams threat
We need to be more of a threat with speed on the field. Kinder and Marcel Pestano will get a chance to see if they can help push the ball down the field. Teams are going to roll coverage to Greg Lee on every play and we need other guys to step up.
chance encouraged gives good looked offense overall
The offense overall looked good. There was good protection, no turnovers and no fumbles. I was encouraged by the way they looked today. Getting those little things right gives you the chance to win.
blitz blocked chance good guys job level matter mystery newspapers reading ready stop third win
They blocked us, there's no mystery in that. I didn't do a good enough job of getting these guys ready ? they must have been reading the newspapers too much and that's my fault. We've got to get better ? if you can't stop the run, you've got no chance to win no matter the level and we've got to get that done. We wanted to blitz them, but we could never get them to third down.

ball chance field guys help push reason step
We're going to give those two guys a chance to see if they can help push the ball down the field a little bit. We have to have other guys step up and that's the reason for the change.
committed kids recruiting signing track trying weekend
We just had a big recruiting weekend and we have two more scheduled before signing day. We are right on track with where we need to be with all of the kids we have committed and the ones we are still trying to get.
defensive good offensive player
We signed, arguably, as good an offensive and defensive player as there was in New York.
behind fell force three turn
We fell behind early, but we were able to force three turnovers and turn them all into touchdowns.
expected good win
We expected to win this game, ... but it was still good to put it on the record.
backs backward game good involved last offense played running score spring springs start three throws today
I've been involved in springs where, the last week, you're going backward -- you go out for the spring game and the quarterback throws three interceptions, the running backs fumble and the offense doesn't score a touchdown. Then you start making excuses. But we played well enough today and did enough good things.
defensive definitely game hope line playing run running struggled ways
The run game struggled but I hope that's because our defensive line is playing better. We have a ways to go running the ball. We definitely have to get a lot better at that.
ball catch good protects
Rashad, in all the scrimmages we had, was very consistent. He makes good reads. He can catch the ball. He protects the ball well.
ball catch couple dropped missed needed pressure protect throws
We had pressure on the passer, we missed some throws, we dropped a couple of throws and we really did not throw and catch the ball and protect like we needed to.
