On issues in the scrimmage being cleaned up by narrowing the game day rotation
“I feel good about the direction of where we are going on the offensive side of the ball. We have enough playmakers, and our guys are competitive and have a great understanding of what we are doing. It’s a growth process. We will get where we want to get to.”
On how far the defensive front has progressed since the end of the spring
“From the first day of pads in the spring to where we are now, it’s a different group. It’s different on the practice field with our physicality, playing up the field, disrupting and changing the line of scrimmage. Most importantly, it’s a different group inside the meeting room, who they are, accountability every single day as well as their consistency, work habits and ability to learn and want to play for the guy next to them. Accountability in that room is completely different, and that’s why they are different on the field.”
