We have to understand that if you are going to be really good, you can't make some little mistakes. When (quarterback) Michael Robinson got sacked and fumbled the ball (last Saturday against South Florida) without knowing there was a backside guy coming, we had a terrible job done by someone.

attention bit blocking careless good hang pays schemes speed spends tapes tendency time tony watching worried
He has to hang on to the football, ... The one thing about Tony that I have always worried about is that he has a tendency to be careless with the football. He is a good back. If he pays attention to the little things and spends a little bit more time with tapes and watching blocking schemes and things like that he can be even better than just a good back. He has speed and he is strong. He's a 225-pound tailback.

He is a good football player. He is not a great football player. But the fact that he has gone through this I think has helped him with some other kids. He has been able to go to other kids and talk to them a little.
ahead bangs damage doctors elbow fact football good great guys loss michael nerve player players playing program robinson turned worth
He could play, but the doctors think there could be some nerve damage if he bangs that elbow again. It's not worth the risk. He's too good of a football player with too much ahead of him to take that kind of chance. It's a big loss for us because he's one of the great players in America. He and Michael Robinson are probably the two guys who turned the program around. That and the fact that we're still playing good on defense.
