• In practice we go at it. It gets physical. Everybody goes hard. You really can’t take plays off against these guys. It’s very competitive.
• There are definitely some things I can do more of as the season goes on. It’s a long season, so whenever I go out there, I’m going to do whatever I can for the team.
• We’ve got to play hard, no matter who the competition is. We’re playing to get better, not against the competition.
• I think the game is way easier than practice. That’s how it should be. Definitely gives us an edge.
• I feel good. I feel like I’m figuring it out more each game. Being aggressive. Playing defense. Being in the right spots. I’m definitely learning.
• Through 4 games, we are doing really well defensively. Offensively we just have to get used to playing with each other, and finding each other in our spots. Not having lapses throughout the game.
• Defensively, we gave up a lot of backdoors, and we weren’t as active on the ball, so we can get better.
