said Meyer. ''I said, 'Don't even talk to me about that.' There was no deal until the end. |
(It's) very disappointing. We all make stupid mistakes, and that ranks right up there as a serious one. We dealt with it seriously, and we're moving on. |
(Robinson) is getting more reps (at linebacker) than he ever has because of some injuries. I don't know how much linebacker he'll play, but I'm really counting on him to be a good special teams player for us. |
(The defensive line) is our most improved position and not just on the field, but in all aspects of the program and how hard they work, how they live and how they play. |
A 230-pound back needs to run like he ran. I was really impressed. |
A big part of his game is the physical element that we're not letting him do. Everything else, we're really pleased with what he's doing. One day, we're going to let him peel that shirt off and go play ball. |
A very courageous guy, a tough guy, ... He missed some throws, but hopefully we got to get him right this week coming up. I thought he played, for the circumstances, very good. |
After we lost to South Carolina, this is the bowl we wanted to be in. |
Against Kentucky (nine catches, 105 yards, two touchdowns) he still didn't grade Champion and I'm not sure he's graded a Champion yet, ... He's leading our team in receiving so it's every play, every down that he's got to be consistent blocking, running routes. He's not consistent. |
Alex Smith was the same way at first, ... They're intelligent guys who can overanalyze. So I told Chris to just let it rip and not worry where the ball was going. |
All I've heard since I was hired in December is 'You've got lazy guys playing defensive line for you,' ... They're not lazy. I think they're great young men, and they could be a special group if they keep going. |
All that matters is when on third down-and-6 in that first game and it is hot, and you just got whacked a couple times, who are they going to look at? They can't look at the sidelines; they can't look at their moms and dads. They look at the quarterback. |
an investment — as much as you invest in it, you're going to get that much reward out. |
Any time the quarterback doesn't practice, it affects his throwing. I think it was either a product of the sore shoulder or missing practice. |
Anyone can run the option. I can run the option. |
