coaches great job mandate motivate potential risk role
We still won't be great risk-takers. That is something that I am going to mandate for myself. We have to do a great job of evaluating potential recruits. It's also our role as coaches to motivate and let them know what they need to do to graduate.
extensive meet players staff
I have mandated to our staff to get out and meet coaches. They need to see our logo. They need to know that we are out doing extensive evaluations on their players academically and athletically. FAMU will be visible.
positions replace
As a team, you have to have balance. We went out and recruited positions of need. We had to replace some quarterbacks - that was a position of need.
helped positive sideline watch
It (Saturday's game) was very positive for Chris. I think it helped him to be on the sideline and watch Josh.
convenient situation spoke
It is a challenge. I spoke about things being uncomfortable sometimes. It's not always going to be a situation where it's going to be convenient for you.
explained pull
No, it was not explained to me. I was just told to pull them out and that is what I did.
energetic gets good hard head ok pads point schemes stay training understand
At this point it is hard to tell how good we will be, but we will really be able to tell once everyone gets the pads on and we head into training camp. We still need to understand the schemes a little better, but we will be OK if they stay enthusiastic and energetic like they were today.
excel games players stands
This is one of the games that you live for. The stands will be packed. I would think the players would want to excel in a game like this.
hurdles
I know we still have some hurdles to cross. You just don't know what they're going to be.
highest level low played stayed
He played low and stayed low. The way they double-teamed him showed the highest level of respect.
ability compete exactly expecting high players positions saturday toughness
For some positions that is exactly what it is. They have to show that they have the toughness as well as the ability to compete at a high level. I'm expecting the players to come out on Saturday and show exactly what they have.
chance high people prove school sports
We wanted to give people a chance to come out and prove that they can come from high school and play at this level.
blocks good tackle
We are going to have to be able to get off our blocks and tackle well. They are a very good opponent. They don't quit, and they play hard.
address aspect commit glaring line looking needs offensive others prospects running
We were able address some of our glaring needs - at quarterback, the offensive line and in every aspect of our defense. We had some of our running back prospects commit to other schools, but we have others that we are looking at.
