We ran a stunt and I came in and the ball carrier ran into me.

This is definitely big momentum. The only other [Metropolitan Interscholastic Conference] teams we've beaten [since I've been here] are South and North Central, so this is a first step to believing we can compete. We always thought we could, but this is actually reality now.

It's a bad rule. When he explained the situation, a ball carrier is a passer when he's behind the line, and he can throw the ball, he has all the protection the quarterback has. If he's out of the pocket, he doesn't have to throw it near anybody, just to the line.

I saw in mini-camp. He had good hands as a receiver. As a ball carrier, he has the feet, speed and reading ability you need to be good in a zone-blocking scheme. Plus, we saw [that] in a gap scheme he can ram it up in there.
