How quickly can you tell if a young player is a football player if he thinks about it because it seems like at the Combine they’re all saying the right thing and it’s the job. How quickly does it take?
As a young player, to evaluate them properly, you have to have the right composure. Being poise in prime time moments and understanding the ramifications of your actions is crucial in football. Emotional penalties can swing the momentum, as a young player, you have to understand to keep your emotions in check.
Can you describe kind of the energy or the mood and the vibe in the building now coming in the home stretch?
The energy is sky high. Our team missed the playoffs last season despite having double digit victories. We are hungry to get over the hump and into the mix of being one of the best teams in the league.
Can you speak to the overall team health?
Overall, the team has been fortunate not to have lingering injuries aside from one. However, we have kept the starter snaps very limited to avoid major injury to our guys that are expected to start the season in week one against the Eagles. Don’t expect to see many starters in our third preseason game either.
