coming continue focused football good improve last pursue pursuing tackling week
We did a lot of good things last week, but we're not where we want to be. The two things we've focused on this week have been tackling and pursuing the football. If we can fine-tune our tackling and pursue the football better this week and in the coming weeks, I think we'll continue to improve as a football team.
beautiful best great hard hit runs seen spin
That was one of the best runs I've ever seen Broderick make. It was a beautiful run and was great to see, because of how hard he hit the linebacker and how he was able to spin away from him.
class district happy high improved moving next somewhere texas year
I was happy with the way the district fell. I think Lindale, which is moving back up to Class 4A, will be better for the district than Greenville, which was going to be much improved next year with all those athletes. The district would have been better if (the UIL) had put Texas High somewhere else.
athletic blessed nice
We're blessed with a lot of athletic kids, and it was nice to see all of them get on the field. Not only that, but they executed well and didn't make many mistakes.
behind john justin nice passes poise threw
John threw some high-percentage passes and put them on the money. He's showed a lot of poise behind center. Landon, J.C. (Clayton) and Justin (Miller) all made some nice catches.
afford eliminate good great half haunt lining mental mistakes quarter second silly starts staying turned
We've got to be more focused, and it starts with lining up right and staying onside. Mistakes in the second quarter turned a great half into a good one, and we can't afford to have mental letdowns that could come back and haunt us. We've got to eliminate the silly mistakes.
adjust few focused hard matter plays running staying takes
It sometimes takes a few plays to adjust defensively. It's all a matter of adjusting, staying focused and running hard to the football.
basically blocking guys handle last line looks stay stick
It's basically a 4-3, but we'll get a lot of different looks because they don't stay in one place long. Our line must stick to its blocking roles, and I think our guys can handle it. They did last year.
crowd far front kids ordinary perform weeks
It's just an ordinary game, and we've had one of our better weeks as far as preparation is concerned. The kids know they'll be in front of a big crowd and want to perform well.
accurate forced game giving last opponents passing until
We had been pretty accurate with our passing game until last week. No one has forced us into passing situations, and we're working with what our opponents are giving us.
again kids learn mistakes next sure work
We had some inexperienced kids out there who had to learn on the fly. There were mistakes made but what we have to do is work on them and make sure they're not made again next week.
football skill
They've got a lot of skill players. We must be physical, communicate and make our tackles.
football good hope lasts process strong team throws trying
They're a good football team with a quarterback who throws the ball well, a strong fullback and two good tailbacks. I think they're still in the process of trying to find the right chemistry, and we hope it lasts one more week.
bunch football game good kids knew people team
Our kids knew they didn't have a good game in the opener. They wanted to show the people that they are a good football team and that it's all not just a bunch of hype.
