football mental tendencies watch
He showed me how to watch film and what tendencies to look for. What I see on film, I just take it to the football field, because football is a mental game.
ball burst game great learns looks talking
We were talking about it today. If you put that No. 93 on him and look at him from behind, he looks like Will Smith. A lot of things he does on the field, he has a lot of characteristics Will had. His stance, his burst off the ball look like Will's. Once he really learns the game on this level, he's going to be a great player.
defensive key pressure stopped
We wanted to get after Tate and take him out of the game. The key was our defensive line. They put pressure on Tate and we stopped the run.
good
I think Cleveland's an up-and-coming team. We have a good division.
bother good half rushing second
It didn't really bother us. We just couldn't let them have a good day rushing and a good day passing. In the first half, they had a good day rushing, but the second half we slowed them down.
coming knew mean pants tall
It had a big effect. We go out and put our pants on the same way as Notre Dame. Coming in we knew what we could do with their receivers. Tall doesn't mean everything. We just wanted it more.
penn using
Penn State's using (Williams) like we use Ted.
games trying
He was a little confused. We were trying to play games with him back there.
call lined players smile spot wrong
He was cussing (his teammates) out. He cussed them out when the players lined up in the wrong spot one time. All you could do is smile when they had to call a timeout. You like that.
against athletes match
We're going to match our athletes against their athletes.
knew outside stopped
We stopped him from getting outside the pocket, and we were making him uncomfortable. Once he spiked the ball, I knew we'd got to him.
great jersey looks player puts smith wilson
Wilson is going to be a great player here. He puts on that No. 93 jersey and he looks like Will Smith a little bit. He's going to be a great one.
change guys
I don't really think we should change a lot. We see guys like that every day in practice.
came corners knowing leave loaded throw whenever
We came in knowing that if we loaded up in the box, they would throw outside. Whenever you load the box, you leave the corners out to dry.
