Thanks Blood.

Nick Colemen vs Tori Hunter for Nickel

Colemen would be a backup, still a lot for him to have down, and would rather have him focusing on learning the Corner

On Dexter - needs to continue to develop. Runs the ball well, and very physical, sounds like learning his cuts, his guts, and pass protection

 

[IrishBlooded]

Still using coach speak to talk about playoff rankings. Won't really comment on undefeated vs 1 loss.

Just get the 4 best teams and let them play, however you can't stumble more than once, and you can't be inconsistent

 

[IrishBlooded]

On CJ vs Adams as a natural running back

CJ is more of a natural athlete, where Josh has more muscle memory, and more reps understanding how to work through the line.

 

[IrishBlooded]

development of backups in the secondary, especially for nickel

would rather use Tori at corner, instead of having a back up lose reps in learning their primary spot, and believe that Tori is a good enough of an athlete to make this move. Even if it is just a couple of plays a game. And does a great job as a jammer on special teams plays.

 

[IrishBlooded]

On Avery Sabastian and 6th year

could possibly play him this year if needed to win games. There is a chance he could get a 6th year due to his injury

 

[IrishBlooded]

Applied the 2minute ideas to the red zone. Talked about how the different pieces are important in scoring points in the end zone.

Just changing the conversation to help score in red zone activities.

 

[IrishBlooded]

On Kizer being able to play at the level to win a championship

Believes he is developing well, and everyone else need to do their jobs. Believes he can see Kizer on the field when battling for the championship

 

[IrishBlooded]

On 6 opponents having additional time (Thursday previous game or BYE or both)

Doesn't believe the physical break is as important as the mental break. Especially with school work.

Didn't really speak on how the ACC schedules BYE weeks and such

 

[IrishBlooded]

On this being a senior class that he recruited as freshmen

Believes they have built the program back to where it needs to compete nationally

On conversations about Seniors or Juniors to the NFL. Has not had that conversation with any players until the end of the year.
