We probably had three this year where he sees nothing but goal line in front of him and a lot of yardage, a big hit, and somebody dives and just nips his toe. But he'll get some of those before the year is over.

In terms of front-line players, it's the worst since I've been here. Last year, we probably had 10 more guys injured at this stage of practice.

Matt was probably 205 pounds when we recruited him,

I don't think he's ever satisfied with how he played, and he played very well, ... He's much stronger, probably 20 pounds heavier than he was a year ago, and that's good weight.

They told me I'd never probably see the front-line area.

Matt was probably 205 pounds when we recruited him. But we could see what kind of athlete he is. He has a big frame (6-foot-6). He'll get on the field. He's very athletic. He's really going to be something some day.
