difference grind guy jumps last miss pop pride running shots speed stay willing year
He's a guy who can make a difference - make you miss - and he has the speed to pop through a little hole. They really take a pride in their running game. They'll take their shots down the field, but what jumps out at you - this year and last year - is that they're willing to be patient, willing to grind it out and do what they need to do to stay on the field.
excited guy
I'm excited because it allows the guy to roam.
believer best bringing competition plenty shake time
I'm a big believer in competition bringing out the best in people. There's plenty of time for this all to shake out.
definitely gets goes guys inside time trouble view
He really has trouble when he gets inside too far. He's definitely one of those guys that has to view the play from one angle. I think that will get better and better for him as time goes on.
calls dave game involved reminds saturday
Dave kind of reminds me of myself when I went with Bobby. He made all the calls on Saturday but I was involved on day-to-day game planning.
advice coach given man piece placed plan position success
The No. 1 piece of advice I've been given is to be your own man and I plan to do just that. Coach Alvarez put me in a position to have success and I solicit him for advice, but he hasn't placed any limitations or restrictions on me.
assure attention backs couple defensive expected five immediate last lost major minimum numbers offensive paid special wide
There was an immediate need at wide receivers, defensive backs and offensive linemen. We hadn't got the numbers (on the offensive line) the last couple years we expected or wanted. So I wanted to go in and get a minimum of five offensive linemen. Sewed that up early. That was probably our major emphasis. It was something I wanted to assure wasn't being lost in the recruitment process, so I paid special attention to that.
best definitely hard leadership works
Not only that but a leadership role. He's someone who works hard every day. He may not be the best in anything individually. But he's definitely going to try and be the best.
It's been called, but the ones that you want to see called, probably don't get called. Put it that way.
great leadership testament
It's just great to be part of it. I think it's a great testament to the leadership (Alvarez) provides. From Day 1, it's been about this game.
coaches exciting field love players time wait
It's exciting because we're going to be able to go out on the field and do what we like to do. Just as much as the players love to get out there and play, coaches do as well. It's an exciting time and we can't wait to get out there.
bit coach coaches establish few meeting notice sit stay sure trying watch
It was different. I was sure to notice when Coach Alvarez used to come and sit in on my meeting or when he was in my drills, so I was trying to be a little bit conscientious of that, especially the first two days, trying to let coaches establish how they go about their business. I was just trying to stay at a distance, look around and watch for the first few days.
block commented cost game people point problem reaction totally
Oh, no, ... I commented (on) the reaction of some of their players. ... At that point in time, the block was totally legal. I have no problem with that. I just don't like to see the part of the game where people make a celebration at the cost of someone's injury.
basis capacity coach daily football harder head involved
I want to be one that recruits harder than any head football coach in the country. I want to be involved on a daily basis in that capacity because I can make a difference.
