guys plays stepped
I think we're pretty much comfortable with any one of those guys in the backfield. They've all stepped up and made big plays this preseason. We feel comfortable with any of those guys going.
guys outside
We have guys on the outside who can make plays.
consider freshmen guys shown
I don't consider those guys freshmen anymore. They've shown up in the big games. They're mature.
coverage guys recognize
They didn't go to a traditional coverage after they blitzed, ... and our guys were really able to recognize that and get open.
guys hitting last plays sent stretch three year
Those are some of the things that we have to hit. We weren't hitting those plays last year. Now we have two or three guys that can make those plays. Last year I was the only one they sent deep. But we have some guys that can stretch the field.
anyone deep good guys hurt pass patterns people running
He's one of those guys that people really don't think can hurt you, but he can. He's probably as good at running the deep pass patterns as anyone we got on the team. He's making the most of his opportunities.
ball coming gotta guys king player players
That started everything. King coming in and making a big play like that started everything. He's a big-time player and big-time players show up in big-time situations. He's one of those guys we gotta get the ball to.
beat drop four guys key three throw
You can't really just key in on one receiver, because now we have three or four guys that can beat you deep. Sometimes I drop back and I don't know who to throw it to, because they can all get open.
easy great guys line ran underneath
The line did a great job. The receivers got open. I had an easy job. All I had to do was put it out there and those guys ran underneath it.
criticize helped jay people talking
Jay has helped me a lot. Those people that criticize him really don't know what they're talking about.
answer best fit shocked whatever
I said, 'Man, I just don't see where I fit in here. His answer actually shocked me. He said, 'Well, Mike, whatever you do, I'll still be your boy. Do what you have to do and do what's best for you.' That reaction, that response, made me look at things in a different light.
environment expecting people retail typical
Reruns is not located in a typical retail environment. People are expecting to see a lawyer's office, not a kids' shop, in that part of town.
changed days eyes fortunate left playing prize since
Playing for Paterno is all good. Nothing has changed since the days we were losing. We never left our eyes off the prize and I'm just fortunate enough to be here as part of this team.
plays respect
I tell them all the time, you have to make plays first before we'll get any respect from a secondary.
