execute keeping matter needs plays
It's just a matter of keeping him relaxed. He doesn't have to be Superman. He just needs to go out and execute all the plays that he's been working on this week.
add allowed believe matter sign
You're allowed to have 85 on scholarship come August. It doesn't matter how many you sign as long as you're at 85 come preseason practice. Believe me, it's been thought out. I did get a degree. I know how to add and subtract.
bunch confidence everybody game matter pick
We're a team. We're not a bunch of individuals. What everybody has to do is just pick their game up a little bit. It doesn't matter who is in there. We have confidence in them or we wouldn't put them in.

I knew physically that he had the ability to do it. It was just a matter of him learning his assignments and the things that he had to do from a mental standpoint of playing the position.

This program has tasted success and what these kids want to do is keep that rolling.

We really liked what we had on our roster. I just didn't feel the quarterback position was something we needed to address this year.

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
Other than seeing the ball go down the field a little more, I don't think there's a whole lot of difference in what they're doing, ... The times Mike Teel has been in playing, he's done a good job for them.
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.
coaches confidence confident help players poise
I think he'll do fine. His confidence and poise will be fine. Those are things we as coaches have to help him with this week. I'm confident in his abilities. Our coaches are confident in him and I know our players will be confident in him.
bit shake
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.
