angle catching chance gets guys safety second seeing speed took turn wrong
When he gets to the second level, there is no catching him from behind, at least not on this team. If you don't turn those guys and let them catch it in stride, they have a better chance to make big plays. The safety wasn't used to seeing that kind of speed and took the wrong angle on it, and (Ford) was gone.

His (evaluation) will be how he is going to manage the team. You couldn't see that today because it is hard to draw any conclusions from that.

But it can be a negative if you run into injury problems.

But I didn't like him leaving early (for the NFL), so what the heck. I don't know if (Kelly) knows who Gumby is.
He's probably the least experienced of all the starters.

charlie good hurt last looked problem took
He's looked good for a while in practice. I don't think his problem is going to be inconsistency in practice. That's one of the things that jumped out last year. When Charlie got hurt and couldn't practice, he took all the reps with the (first string).
