desire help next shows skills
I couldn't help but think he would get better in that aspect. He shows the desire and has the skills to help us out next year.
couple fifth fourth might next open starter weeks
I think he can be a starter (at cornerback). It might be next year. It might be the fourth or fifth game. It might be a couple weeks after the open date. I could conceivably see that.
capable consistency matched next performance talent tremendous
He's got tremendous potential. His performance has not matched his potential. Potentially, you can see what he's capable of doing. Consistency is his next step. Talent he has.
among asset billy carolina coaches division impressed next offensive reason side south staff state strong successful worked youngest
I was very impressed with Billy Napier when he worked on our staff in 2003 and 2004. He will be among the youngest full-time coaches in Division I next year, and I look at that as a strong asset. He was a big reason South Carolina State had a very successful season, especially on the offensive side of the ball. He will also be an asset to us in recruiting.
capable comments consistency matched next performance potential since tremendous
All of my comments since he has been here is he has had tremendous potential, and his performance had not matched his potential to this point. But I think, potentially, you can see what he is capable of doing. Now consistency is his next step.
enthusiasm good looked
He has looked really, really good. He has good enthusiasm.
manages plays time
I want to see some big plays (offensively) and how Will manages the team. This will be the first time we will get to see him do that.
evaluation purpose
From an evaluation purpose, you don't get that much done.
contain stop
You can't stop him. You can only contain him.
athletic drink teams
I think a lot of athletic directors, administrators and teams will drink from the well we dug.
dad might miss naps takes
Dad is 76. He takes naps during the game, so he might miss something.
anticipate box difficulty guys line running
I didn't anticipate having that much difficulty running it. They put more guys in the box (at the line of scrimmage).
giving good heavy kicking work
He is a pretty good kicker. We are giving him some heavy work right now. He is kicking just as good if not better.
anticipate coming defense guys key playing possibly sign strongly
I strongly anticipate some of the guys we sign coming in and possibly playing some key roles, especially on defense the way we did this year.
