body changed guys weight
He's one of those guys that changed his body in the weight room.
biggest flat free guys hit missed problem running
His biggest problem was he just missed some throws. Just flat missed them. There were some touchdowns he just overthrew. We can't do that. When we get guys running free down the seam, we've got to hit those.
games guy happen knowing nice pleased win
I'm really pleased with him right now. Because we can win games with him, and it's nice right now knowing that if something were to happen with Isaiah that you have a guy who can come in and play.
everybody general guys hard knows offense sure
Everybody knows who the general is right now. It's hard on your offense when guys are really not sure who is the leader, who is going to take us down the field. They know that Isaiah can do all that now.
future great guys lost usc
You can say they lost two All-American tackles inside, or they lost this or that. The guys USC replaces with are just future All-Americans who haven't had to play yet. They're still fast, still physical, still play with great intensity.
allowed edge gave happen nice presents problems saw stuff today top weapon
We saw some stuff in film that allowed us to get him out on the edge more. He presents so many problems for defenses because they have do decide, 'Are you going to let him get the edge and run?' or 'Are you going to come up and let something happen over the top of you?' So he gave us a lot of that today and it was really a nice weapon for us.
athletes best football himself learning playing system takes tough understand until
Until he commits himself to really learning the system, it'll be tough for him. He's still one of the best athletes on this football team. He has to understand that playing quarterback in this system takes a lot of work, a lot of film study.
people
You can't do that. You just can't let people see you sweat.
bowl consistent good johnny needs
Johnny had a really good winter, and I've told him what he has to do to be the starter. I told Isaiah he needs to be consistent to get us to where we want to go, and that's a bowl game.
general knows
I think everyone knows who the general is right now.
ball field good harder missed throwing
Other than that, he made some good throws. He missed a couple, but when you are throwing the ball more down the field vertically like we did today, those are harder to make. You're not going to make every one.
clearly hard improved stayed summer time worked
I think it all started this summer with him. This was the first time he stayed here. He worked hard, worked hard on his routes. He has clearly improved his route-running.
biggest consistent flashes last physical position saw year
I think the biggest thing we have to do at that position is become consistent. We saw flashes at that position last year and I thought Rankin showed flashes, but we weren't consistent. We need to be consistent and we aren't physical enough still.
clearly drill fair game hand minutes seven situation step took tough
I don't think it's fair to say he took a step back. I don't think he did. We put him in a tough situation in that two-minute drill with about seven minutes left. The game was clearly out of hand then and to put him in that was hard.
