Yeah, it’s exactly what you want. You want to get good, competitive work where guys are making each other better by giving them challenging looks on both sides of the ball and I think that’s what our players are doing right now. So, that’s good.”(On his goals for this week’s game in terms of individuals and the collective team)”Yeah, I think you just want to see the units play crisp, play sound, fundamental football. Looking to see these guys just execute at a high level – know what their assignment is Bobby Evans black jersey , play fast, play confident and really play together.
