couple option plays run running spread throw
I think we're going to run a couple of options, but I don't see us going out there and running 40 option plays in a game. We're still a spread offense, and we're going to throw it around.
balance eight indicator last lean offense practicing run spend spread time week
I don't think what we did last week is an indicator of what we're going to do for the balance of the season. We will lean a little more heavily on the run than we did when I got here eight years ago. We're still a one-back, spread offense and we spend a lot of time practicing the pass.
davis ends spread talented throw tight
We're still a spread offense. We're going to throw it around. We think our tight ends (Charles Davis and Dustin Keller) are talented and we want to get them involved.
convinced effective equally game option passing spread time
We have utilized the quarterback as a runner, but not as an option guy. We haven't been convinced we can put all the time into the option and the spread passing game and be equally effective at both. We feel we can do that now.

To this day, I'd still have Kyle Orton running that boot on the corner, by himself, clearly having picked up the first down. It doesn't haunt me. I sleep well at night, knowing we did the best thing we could do under the circumstances. Based on what some of the other guys (on the team) say, maybe that haunted them.
defense guys helping huge several successful
Those two guys were a huge part of the successful defense we had here for several years. And now they are helping out up there too, which is nice.

You have a difficult time winning when you have five turnovers. It's a problem when they take two to the house on you.
position possible talent
We feel like we've got enough talent at the position that it's possible that we wouldn't designate starters.
along good guy jim miss understood work
You don't work with a guy that long and don't become very good friends. He really understood me and I understood him. That's probably why we got along so well. We'll miss Jim and his personality and his intellect.

Bill knows our system as well as anyone. That's why he was chosen. Bottom line: He is a guy who will be able to get it done.
