backup biggest coming concern establish good including spring win
My biggest concern is we didn't establish a backup coming out of spring drills. To win a championship, you better be good at quarterback, including the back up.
age certain close concerns given looking questions searching
There were certain things that we had concerns about that we wanted to take a close look at, given the age of the player. We're looking at him over a long term. We want to make sure. We had some concerns or questions that we wanted answered, and that's what we're still searching for are the answers.

These kids haven't hardly eaten. They haven't had a lot of fluids and like me a lot of them are looking forward to a hot shower. It's difficult and we had to change our plans and make the proper adjustments. We are ultimately concerned about the welfare of our players and their families. We still have two or three players who haven't made it back yet.

I think there's good competition there, but it's early in the spring, too. I know we had way too many interceptions (the first week), but I certainly expect that to change this week.
