I'm really pleased with our linebackers, our secondary and our ends. But those question marks are big question marks.

backs field hard positions receiver running ways wide
Quarterback and wide receiver are the two inexperienced positions on this team. Without Darrell, we will be revamping our offense. We'll be working hard to find ways to get two running backs on the field at the same time.

The charges leveled against me and my staff are completely false.

I think our kids are confident. They look forward to playing and they think they can win. That's not cocky at all. We're not predicting victory by any means, but I think we'll be confident. This will be the best team we play all year long by far, so we'll know our strengths and weaknesses.

He's probably as celebrated a player that's ever been here in any sport. It's been neat so far that he's been able to play the last two (seasons) because we only had him half a season the first two.
