dynamics games good run standing struggling
I don't feel we're struggling to run the football. I think we've been in some games with different dynamics where you weren't comfortable standing there thinking, 'I'm going to run it between the tackles.' That probably wouldn't be a good thing to do if you're down 17 or 20 points.
difference five football good offense players
If we could get five good football players I'd be elated. It doesn't make a difference in what order, offense or defense.
andy ball barry good hire run taken trust
I hire them and I have to trust them. Andy did that. Barry (Alvarez at Wisconsin) did that. (The coordinators) have taken the ball and run with it. They're good leaders. But to be a good leader, you have to have good followers.
excited football good great offensive somewhere
Obviously, we'll be excited to have him, and we wanted him for a reason. He will give us not only good football play, but he'll give us great temperament and great toughness, I think, in the offensive line. That's somewhere you need to always have that.
areas ask bit brings extremely field game games good guy obviously played practice ready standard
I will tell you that he always brings a standard to the practice field and the game field. He has always been extremely professional in those areas and obviously extremely productive. That is all you can ask for the guy to do. On the little bit he has played in the preseason, he is ready to go. He's been in big games before and he is going to his hometown, but I think you have a pretty good idea of what he will do.
billy couple decided extra good gotten job produce
Billy has gotten incrementally better. He's done a good job in practice. He's gotten a couple of good opportunities around the ball. He was in the right place and the quarterback decided to get it to him. So, when you produce for your quarterback, a lot of times, you get that extra look.
consistency good reach shows step three
He's got a big body, a long reach and big hands. He shows flashes, then he'll take a step back. He'll do two or three good things, have two or three good days, but you just want that consistency.
football good resume speaks sure tape
His resume is his tape. And his tape speaks for itself. He's a good football player, and I'm sure we'll get out to see his workout.
ability area good needs pass reading run showing spots
That is a whole different mindset, because you are out there so much more. (As a starter) he has to be very good in the run area, in the pass area with the long- and short-range stuff. He has to be better at reading coverage. He is showing an ability to do that and get to the spots that he needs to (be in).
competition football good
I've said this all the way along: competition makes good football teams.
ability athletic attributes classroom fast good learns physical putting slow speed starts
At a fast rate, he's putting what he learns into play. Every play he learns something new. ... All of the physical attributes are there. He has speed and quickness. He has good hands. He can put what's in the classroom on the field. He can make you miss. So, yeah, he's got the whole package. When it starts to slow down for him a little bit, then you'll see all of his God-given athletic ability come out.
bit gas good job left offensive time
He's got gas left in the tank. He's a little bit banged up, as a lot of offensive linemen are at this time of the season. But you know he's going to be out there on Sunday. He's done a good job out there.
throw
You can't throw it to them. It's kind of a fundamental thing.
brian came load pass passing picking takes took
In the pass game, he is picking up incrementally enough where you can get him in there. Does he have the whole load yet? No, that takes awhile. It took Brian Westbrook a while and Brian came out of a passing system.
