evaluate true year
I think this will be the true year to evaluate Jake Plummer.
bit college colleges defensive draft looking number offense players quite team watch
I watch a lot of college film, not only looking at what different colleges do from an offense and defensive standpoint, but also evaluating players, ... so we do that quite a bit during the off-season. Especially a team like LSU, who has a number of players (in draft consideration) year-in and year-out.
good
I think they feel very good about Clinton, and we feel very good about Champ,
bay bother goes next san seem steve tampa
It didn't seem to bother Steve Young when he went from Tampa Bay to San Francisco. The next place Steve goes will be Canton.
growing guys hopefully pays strides
Some guys (have) got more growing to go. That's part of the season. But I thought we made some strides and hopefully it pays dividends.
anytime best bring classic event excited fortunate great hospitals league louis showcase support
The All-Star Classic is a great event to showcase our league and we are excited that we can bring it to the St. Louis region. We are so fortunate that we have one of the nation's best pediatric hospitals in our community, so anytime there is an opportunity, we want to support their efforts.
coaches excellent guys job since
That's what coaches do, teach. If you can't teach, you can't coach. And these guys have done an excellent job since they've been here.
calls larry
Larry calls all of the defenses. Every once in a while, I'll give a suggestion. When I do, it's usually wrong.
game sat written
I sat down with him, I said, 'You don't go to a game with (an obscenity) written on the back of your shirt,'
good great guys players speed substitute thrive types
Our guys aren't as big as some. But they do have great speed. We really thrive on speed with our defense. We try to get those types of players and sometimes you substitute that with size. Our linebackers do have good speed.
comfort field missing question
You just think of it being automatic, you don't even think about them missing it. I do think there is a comfort level. Saying, 'Hey, we do need the field goal?' You don't question if he's going to make it.
against ball defense defensive football good lose momentum move past pick stop sudden teams yards
Yeah, it is frustrating. But there is some good with it. When you move the ball 80 yards on your first drive, and all of a sudden you're on the 1-yard line, and all of a sudden you lose your momentum like we did. When you go against a good defense and you're in long-yardage situations, you're going to be in for a long day, so you can't stop yourself. We're going to play a lot of good defensive football teams this year, so we'd better pick it up. If we don't, then we're going to be inconsistent like we have been the past two weeks.
drafted guy high himself love rookie speaks sure type volumes
We'd sure take him. He's the type of guy you love because he handles himself with so much class. When you have a guy who does that as a rookie being drafted as high as he was, it speaks volumes for the future.
