Key points:
- Finishing up game prep for Grambling
- Biggest thing for us is guys returning at all positions
- DL: Kragen, Looney, Jalil, DeVante Wilson
- LB: 3 deep at that position
- Safety: McClure, Drew
- CB: Number of guys returning
- Back at positions they've already played before. That is a big deal
- During season, going to play:
- 2 deep at DL
- 2 deep or 3 deep at LB
- 2 deep or maybe 3 deep by end of season DB
- Anxious to see where we're at. One full year in the system
- Drew: He's done well. He'll be the starter in the game. One year more mature, now in better condition (down 10+ lbs and moves like it)
- McClure: Biggest was that he was a safety last year, just like he is this year. Year+ of mental prep at safety. He acts like a coach out there, really understands what we're doing.
- Who has stood out to you:
- DeVante Wilson, Jalen Jefferson, and Darius White. They've all made big jumps since the spring. Also Demariay Drew, wasn't sure what Kaufman was getting with him
- Trey Turner: an impressive guy for being a freshmen. Will be used at either field or nickel
- DeVante Wilson, Jalen Jefferson, and Darius White. They've all made big jumps since the spring. Also Demariay Drew, wasn't sure what Kaufman was getting with him
Defense is all about how we adjust during a game, that is what it is all about. Find out what they're doing. Then make adjustments. Need to keep the schemes simple enough you can play
My commentary: For some reason I am glad that Kaufman is saying the same thing I think we're all wondering: Where are we at (with the defense)? Beginning this week, and especially in week 3 in Austin, we'll begin to find out.
