He was awesome. He was probably more fired up during the game than anyone.
He comes from a top level program and has a lot of experience on the offensive side of the ball.
Greene wasn't at his best physically, but he was at his best in leading us to that last field goal. I was sitting there thinking, 'This is the last game he's going to play in this stadium. Who am I to keep him out?' So I let him go back in.
Guys like D. J. make this business worthwhile.
Kirby did a great job with our backs during the past year. We hate to lose him but at the same time recognize the opportunity he has and wish him nothing but the best.
I would think he is going to roll into the fall as the No. 1 guy. I still haven't seen anything to make me think we shouldn't do that.
I would say you're running it up if you've got your first-team players in the game with five minutes to go and you're up by 40. If you're still throwing bombs, maybe that's running it up. I think it's the defense's job to slow people down anyway.
Just three or four weeks ago, I was saying we were as healthy as we've been, ... Now we might be as banged-up as we've ever been.
He's banged up and he's sore, ... We've got to see how he progresses. But if he's in a weakened position, you could make it a lot worse so we're being cautious with it right now.
He has a great attitude every day in practice. He works hard in the games. He's making plays, he's pushing the pile, he's making people double-team him. He's been keeping people off our linebackers and he's really playing pretty well so far.
He has really come on for us. I'm confident he will do a good job.
When we were down 28-0, I didn't know if anything good was going to happen tonight. But to the credit of our players we made it a battle. We made them sweat a little bit.
We're going to make sure he's the primary target a lot. We have more pass plays than I've ever had in our offense that are geared toward the tight end.
We're going to make him a primary target. Now, I don't know how many passes he's going to catch. We could make him the primary target 15 times a game, but we may only throw to him to eight times because he's covered, and he may only catch six. But we're going to have more pass plays than we've ever had geared toward him.
