coming early mark maybe people showcase since watching work
I think coming out early like that, he has to really try and showcase himself, especially since he didn't get to go to the combines. He's got to make his mark out there with people watching him and maybe they'll work him out a little further.

Our starters aren't going to get a free pass not to be on special teams. Even though we have more depth and some people who can do things, our best people are going to play on our special teams.
ball difference field good job mike seeing

I think he has a little bit more speed, a little bit more shake to him than what 'Bones' did.
bit deep evaluate fit position quickly spring strong struggling tried
I thought he would fit in better back at safety. I think he was struggling a little bit at the Husky position so we wanted to put him back at strong safety, where he was probably a little bit more comfortable. We didn't want to go too deep into spring without doing that so we tried to evaluate it as quickly as we could with him.
bothers stuff
That stuff never bothers me. We're going to make our own evaluations.

I was proud of the way our guys came out and played the game, in terms of going through executing the way we did. Sometimes you have some concerns in situations like this.

Our kids are playing hard. I think they have some confidence. We know as the season progresses it's going to get tougher and tougher.
