coach gone guys morning practice schedule separate specialize veterans younger
We are going with two separate practices, one for the upper classmen and veterans and one for the younger guys. The schedule allows us to specialize and coach the younger guys individually much more. When the newcomers' practice comes in the afternoon, they will have already gone through the morning meeting.
ali bit fine guy kenny moved outside
Spadoni will be a guy that will play a little bit more football. Ali Highsmith and Kenny Hollis, those two will be moved around in those outside spots. We think we'll be fine there.
certainly consistent decisions guy kick opportunity performed proved short
He's just a guy who proved to be consistent and performed pretty well. I'm not making any long-term decisions but in the short term, he's certainly going to get an opportunity to kick 'em.
approach competition determine game guy matt point russell starter time week
The competition is between JaMarcus Russell and Matt Flynn to start, ... I think we will find that we will approach our game week and our game days, determine who our starter is and at that point in time we'd like to go with one guy from that point forward.
fashion lsu guy
He seems faster too me. He could get seven to 10 yards in a pretty comfortable fashion. I went up to our defense and said `Hey guys, that guy is pretty fast.'
lsu voice guy
Jamie Keehn, our second Australian punter. Again, you have to learn the language. You just can't speak to those guys. You have to know how to speak Australian. ... Australians have a higher voice. When you just speak regular English, it doesn't quite get across. Of course, we've had experience with our Australians, so we're pretty comfortable with adjusting our dialect so that it fits the ability to communicate.
control
We have to control him. He's their big playmaker.
additional creates justin opportunity step
This now creates an opportunity for Justin and Shyrone to step up and get some additional carries.
expect short
We don't expect him back in the short term.
apartment both certainly drain family kick people players several
Several of our players have more people (evacuated family and friends) in their apartment than they have any right to have in their apartment. And you can't kick them out because certainly it's the right thing. And they're not sleeping, and some of them don't have their own bed. There's some drain on our players both emotionally and physically.
change cover degree good press week zone
Those things can be adjusted. There will be a differing degree of 'come get ya' and press and cover one and a good zone attack. That variance will change week to week.
might next team worst
This team (LSU) might be the worst team to play if you're the next team,
banner early forward great justin terms three
It's early to guess, but I think in terms of our three tailbacks, I think Justin Vincent is going to have a banner year. He's unselfish. He's the right kind of person. He's improving, and I look forward to him having a great year.
bit campus failed great lose men needs operated start summer team time
It's a great day. It's time to get the team on campus and start getting better. I think the summer went well. We had two men that failed the conditioning test, one of which was operated on and the other just needs to lose a little bit more weight.
