Cory Boyd and Mike Davis are running very well. Mike is a lot faster than he was last year and Cory is in excellent shape.
He's a good runner. He gets his pads low and he's hard to tackle. He was player of the year in the state of Washington a couple years ago, so he's a good, solid back.
Certainly, Blake has improved. He has certainly learned what's going on, and he should play much, much better this year. I hope we have some coaches around here so our guys improve from one year to the next.
Obviously, we want to be in the top half every year, and maybe some year everything breaks right and we put together a team that can win it. That certainly is our goal for the future.
We want to play big time, so we have to act big time all year long.
What we know about them is they had a tough, struggling year last year, but that year is history.
I was wrong. The main reason I said it (a year ago) was to eliminate any excuses we had around here. (But) I didn't realize what other schools have done with facilities. We don't have everything in place.
(He) was running around like he did last year (before the injury). He couldn't run like that in practice last season.
I'll cross that bridge if it comes to that, ... The thing I've tried to do all this year is not be lingering around, acting like I'm waiting for another guy's job. I don't believe that's the right way to do it. But now that he doesn't have a job, I guess there will be some discussion. We'll see what happens.
I guess you guys have to be a coach to understand. Once you spend a year with your guys, that's your team. That's just your team. I try to live in the present.
The Pope is 77 years old and he's in charge of a billion people. All I have to do is put 11 on the field.
So I don't really believe that how many years you've had in the league determines how well your players play... Coaching is coaching.
We just wanted to look around in the stadium and realize how fortunate we are to be able to coach and play in front of 80,000 people that love their team like we have here. Who knows if it does any good or not? We'll find out Saturday at 1 o'clock.
We just try to improve and improve and improve. We don't worry about how we look so much. We stayed healthy and that's always, I think, the number-one priority.
