Post-Practice Presser - April 3

Frost on tackling consultants: "They pay us good money to coach, if we don’t know what we’re doing, then they probably need a different coach."

Great clip of Williams. He is lightning off the LOS!

I could watch entire games under Riley and not even notice he was there.

You couldn't share your technique with the rest of us poor souls counting down the days.....

This may be one of the biggest (low key) points for spring ball so far. Not sure if ILB will be the shot caller for the whole defense, like in other schemes, but you definitely need an in-game leader to be vocal to keep everyone moving in the same direction. Hopefully, he will open up.

He's had 5 practices.  He will be fine.  It's good to see that he's being put in the position to be a starter and a leader.

Its tough for a transfer to step in right away and be a vocal leader. I think as he makes more plays and feels more comfortable with the role he will grow as a leader.

You nailed it, @bugeater17. It is definitely difficult for anyone to be new to a team and asked to play a major vocal, leader role right away. I don't know Honas (sounds like @ColoradoHusk might though), but in all of his interviews, he has gained the reputation of being a quite guy. Not going to judge a guy off of a week of spring practice. Here's to hoping he figures it out.

I can't stop chuckling about the Riley comments!

I don't know Honas at all.  I just think people need to slow down on some things when stories come out of Spring practice.

Justin McGriff is quite the specimen.
