People don't understand how hard it is to do what he's doing. He's like a movie star in L.A. He's done a fabulous job dealing with the attention. Most 22-year-old kids could never handle what he has to experience.
Every time Reggie is in your huddle, you're limiting the calls that a defensive coordinator can make. Reggie helps us in so many ways that you can't even imagine.
He won't even be out there today. He's getting another MRI. His back just locked up Tuesday. He's barely able to walk around.
Oh, he's a much better fit in the NFL.
He's really gone to the next level, he's much more mature and he's blocking a lot better.
I haven't even thought about that. I imagine that will be the perception out there.
They're very close right now. It's unbelievable how far (Sanchez) has come in one year of being here. ... Mark has narrowed the gap. Obviously, it was a huge gap when he got here.
He's changed from Auburn to now. At Auburn, it looked like there was a lot of carryover (from Tampa). I just don't see it anymore.
Every week, you can usually find something on film to get excited about, something to exploit. They don't have anything. Those guys, to me, look like they have 11 NFL prospects. They don't look like anybody else.
We had our backups and we like to play somewhat realistic. We had about six straight runs before that.
I'm usually pretty reserved, but I really couldn't hold myself in because I was so excited for these guys.
