along coming easy gotten great maybe skills ted
His skills have not diminished, that's for sure. There have been some times I thought maybe we could've gotten him the ball, but it's easy from where I sit. I think Ted is really coming along and I think he's going to be a great one.
stop
Our first thing is to stop the run, period.
mean saturday
Really, those first 10 (games) don't mean much and they know that, ... It's what you do up there on Saturday that makes the difference.
buy coming few former hawk offer recruiting remember science staff
Recruiting is such an inexact science. I remember a former staff member here, when we said we were going to offer A.J. Hawk a scholarship, he said, 'Oh, man. That's like a (Division) 1-AA fullback coming here.' Now, A.J. will be able to buy a few things here in a few weeks.
both football planning stands starting
For this football game, as it stands right now, yeah, we've got two starting quarterbacks, ... We're planning to play both guys.
alumni football game great interest largest last level life might
If it's the last game you'd ever want to see in your life, it might be these two teams, and that makes it special. Two great football states, two great schools, two of the largest alumni in the world. The interest level is tremendous.
both game justin start work
If the first game was today, Justin would start and Troy would probably play significantly. We'll go into preseason where both Justin and Troy will get work with the first group.
cheering pretend
I always just pretend they're all cheering for me.
affect chance creates harder job plays problems stop
He creates a lot of problems because he can make plays when there's no play to be made, ... You've got to affect the quarterback's job because no one has a harder job than the quarterback and if you make it even harder, I think you have a chance to stop an offense.
football game guys maybe williams
He can play the game of football. There are some guys who are just fast, but are maybe not football players. Derrick Williams is a football player. He's out there having fun.
ability guy looked pleased
He looked like he did the whole spring, comfortable and patient. That's a big guy with the ability to accelerate. We're very pleased with him.
ahead areas caught class group move opportunity speed spread strength system
What I like about this group is that they all feel they can come in and make an impact. They know they've got to get caught up in the system and move ahead with their strength and speed and knowledge. But this class is spread so evenly in all areas that they all feel they will have that opportunity to come in and compete.
alone line opposition return start translate valuable
That alone is a very valuable weapon. If you take the return out of the formula, and make the opposition start at their 20-yard line that often, that has to translate into a big field-position advantage.
deserve good hope million peek road thoughts whatever
My thoughts are, I hope our thoughts are on what's going on right this second. If you peek down the road - and I've said it a million times - you're not going to do as well today. We always say, 'You're as good as your work's deserved.' At the end of the year, whatever we deserve to be, we will be.
