campbell conference defense defensive difference good jason league offense shows taken team week year
The difference in our conference and the other conferences is defense -- every team in our league has defensive players. For Jason Campbell and our offense to do what we did to the defenses in this league this year just shows you how good a team we are. We're a well-balanced team that hasn't taken a week off all year.
everybody fun game good last plan practice ready tomorrow
It was a good day of practice. It was the last practice in any pads; tomorrow we will just be in helmets. All of the game plan is in. Everybody is ready to go. It was a fun day, but we're winding it down, and tomorrow we'll get in more of a game-type mood.
backs clinic coaches coaching competition days defensive easing enthusiasm faces few good guys high looking mental past quicker school showing start starts today tomorrow watched watching
It was a good practice. Guys are showing a lot of enthusiasm. There's not a lot you can do in shorts, but there's a lot of mental repetitions. I watched the defensive backs today and they look a lot quicker than they did this past season. There are a lot of new faces we're looking at with that position. There will be a lot of competition with those guys this spring. Tomorrow we'll start easing into contact. Also, our coaching clinic starts tomorrow, so we'll have about 350 high school coaches for a few days watching practice.
good great looks people presence pressure rid seven sign six
He's got great presence on the field, in the huddle, at the line. Even when there's pressure around him in the pocket, even with six or seven people (rushing) and he's got to get rid of it, Brandon always looks like he's in control. That's the sign of a good quarterback.
coming excellent good guys minus monday morning next start
As I told our team, this is over. We start back next Monday morning at 7 o'clock with all the guys coming back minus the seniors. But this will be a good team. We had a good year. We had an excellent year.
football glad good great knew players worked year
It's a great day. We knew we had a great football team, and it was a great year for us. It makes you feel good for the players because they did so much for us here. I'm glad it worked out for them.
attention ball gears good guys lack practice reason running shift spring throwing today tomorrow turn
It was a good practice today. We concentrated more on throwing the football. Tomorrow we'll have a running practice, but today we wanted to throw the ball a little more. There was good enthusiasm. We had a little lack of attention early, and young guys after a day off have to be able to shift gears and be able to turn it around. That's the reason you play spring ball.
bad chance defense easier games good playing week
The more games you play, the more chance you have of playing a bad game on offense. Your defense can play good every week as long as they play hard. It's a lot easier to play defense than it is offense.
standing takes
I get off the bus, and he's the first one I see, this 18-year-old standing there crying. It takes you back.
challenge coaches looked people problem question seconds situations wonder
A lot of people wonder why you want a coaches challenge if every play is looked at by the officials. The problem is when you go back and look at situations where there's a question about a play. You only have 10-15 seconds for them to look at the play at hand.
execute game kicking mistake mistakes ran tonight
That is football. You have got to execute and tonight the kicking game wasn't there for us. They ran that punt back, we made a mistake but that's part of it.
air breath fresh
He's a breath of fresh air in that league.
spread
It is full-speed tackling, and we want to see them compete. But we're not going to go out there and do a lot of things that's going to get spread around.
feet ground intensity second sky stay took
In the second half, we regrouped and our intensity took over. You can only stay 3 to 4 feet off the ground so long. They were sky high.
