fit four guys movement people present teach three whatever
There's always going to be movement in personnel, so your schemes, whatever they are, have to fit your present people but they also need to fit who's going to come in. They can't be so complicated that you need four years to teach it and three or four years for guys to develop.
empty five good three
Absolutely. In our league, when you go to a game, you see five receivers on the field, a lot of four, three receivers. You see empty (backfield) in every situation. So if you don't have at least three really good (corners), it'll be long Sundays.
against fear team
That's what you fear against a team like that.
hard loves studies tough
A very tough guy, hard working guy, loves the game, studies the game. He's very, very into football. It's important to him.
advancing critical third year
This is his third year and the third year is kind of a critical one for a young guy. We need to keep advancing and keep going forward.
guy heading hope named somebody
Somebody will be named heading into camp, but there is always going to be competition. We'll try to name that guy going through the spring, but if we don't, we don't. We hope to have a feeling.
coaches exhausted forward goes last players practice quickly seems work
Coaches and players are pretty exhausted by this point, but you never look forward to it. You work so hard, and it seems like it goes so quickly and that last practice is on you, and you want it to keep going. You like being around a team. You like being part of a team.
bit field five four game number spreading
Offenses are spreading you out all over the field today. You see four and sometimes even five receivers on the field. The game is a little bit different - a lot different - than it was a number of years ago.
critical fought guys mistakes year
I thought our guys really fought hard. We just made the mistakes that have kind of set us back all year in critical areas.
difficult imagine year
It has been a very difficult year for them. I don't know how to imagine what they have been through.
goes people scheme seems situations team thanksgiving
I think that they'll still play in our scheme because they have to play in the scheme. When they don't play in the scheme, you get situations like we got on Thanksgiving Day - different people at different times freelancing to some degree. And when everything goes bad, as it did on that day, the other team seems to find those breakdowns.
beats somebody team
I will say on the first day of camp, there's a first team penciled in there, but if somebody beats you out, they're going to get the job.
fast follows positions respect run scheme teaching teams time tremendous trust
He's been in positions with teams that run a scheme that I like. I've always had a lot of respect for it. It's specific. It follows a teaching progression, I like that. You play fast in it, I like all those things. I trust Perry. It's time for him. I think he'll do a tremendous job.
heals soon
He was disappointed, we were disappointed. As soon as he heals he'll be back out working.
