ability behind compete competition kids overall point program slack somebody
You want to get your program to the point where every day kids go out and know that they have to compete to get better because if they don't they know there's somebody behind them who has the ability if they slack off. Overall we're at a point in our program now where we have more competition than we've ever had before.
across ball carolina gets guy hole mean might move north run yards
It comes across pretty well (on tape). You think there's a hole and you see them play Auburn and North Carolina and you think the guy might get 15 yards but he only gets about eight. They run to the ball very well. But that doesn't mean we can't move the ball.
compete good grow hanging team understand
I thought he did a good of hanging in there. We'll grow from this. We have to understand just how good we're going to have to be to compete with a top-20 team on the road.
amount ball change confidence decisions great kicked larry people pick tremendous
I think when you have that it makes other people change what they want to do from a punting standpoint. Larry has a tremendous amount of confidence back there and I thought he made great decisions when the ball was kicked away from him going to get them and pick it up and make something happen.
light
For a big man, he's got pretty light feet.
contribute ethic guy guys reward saw work
It was a work ethic that we saw. And then we also saw a guy that was able to come in and contribute for us in different ways. You try to reward guys when they do that.
added contribute great high jon level smooth transition
It's great to have Jon come back to the program. He did an outstanding when he was here before and, with his added experience, he will contribute even more to the program. His high level of familiarity will make the transition a very smooth one for all involved.
anybody far five four friday guys hard improvement lost night pleased since taken tape watching
After watching tape Friday night and after four days, there's been a lot of improvement since the first day that we were out here. We've got a lot of guys working hard and a lot of guys making some steps. We've still got a lot more that we want to accomplish, but I'm pleased so far with what's taken place through five days. So far we're healthy, too. We haven't lost anybody in five days, which is important.
expect forget guy happened happens sudden throw
It's happened before where all of a sudden you throw a guy in there and you didn't expect him to go in there and play and all of a sudden you forget about who your two quarterbacks were in a heartbeat. If that happens we're better off for it.
coming early mark maybe people showcase since watching work
I think coming out early like that, he has to really try and showcase himself, especially since he didn't get to go to the combines. He's got to make his mark out there with people watching him and maybe they'll work him out a little further.
ball difference field good job mike seeing
Other than seeing the ball go down the field a little more, I don't think there's a whole lot of difference in what they're doing, ... The times Mike Teel has been in playing, he's done a good job for them.
job pick terry
I think we're getting as much as we can out of Terry and Brock. If the (offensive line) can pick it up, that will make everybody's job a lot easier.
anybody game knew watched year
I think anybody that watched our punting game this year knew that it was a very inconsistent game to say the least.
bigger high kicking maybe period pressure solid takes tee three transition underneath
There's a bigger transition period for a kicker. You're used to kicking off a tee in high school. You don't have the same rush. You don't get in as many pressure kicks. It takes maybe two years for a kicker to get everything underneath him. If you can get three solid years out of a kicker, I think that's a lot.
