Obviously this is an exciting day for myself and my staff.
I saw missed opportunities, I saw a missed tackle for a possible loss become a big play, and I saw missed assignments. They all equaled bad. In the end it`s a bad sign.
We`re not going to turn it into a fair. We are only bringing in the players that we want.
We`ve had a great offense here at Georgia Southern, one that did not require a tight end. What we will do here offensively will require a tight end and we would like to have at least four on the roster, so this is a good start for us. It was definitely a position of need.
Defensively we weren`t able to finish. There were a couple of times we could have had a tackle for a loss but the offense made a play and it ended in a long gain.
A lot of our young players got a lot of reps. That will benefit them come fall. I`m encouraged with our overall effort. We`re seeing good enthusiasm and good tempo on the field but we are still making far too many mistakes.
I think we`re fortunate we had the opportunity to get him. And for the opportunity to be at Georgia Southern, he`s very fortunate.
We?re making a lot of the same mistakes which is kind of disappointing. Offensively we have some guys who can make big plays. We are getting better in compartments but need to do a better job putting everything together. That comes with experience and better communication.
