HEAD COACH RAHEEM MORRIS

(Opening statement)

"We went out today, and we did a little third down passing game. We also had a little red zone seven-on-seven, nine-on-seven no physical play. We had some fired up individuals today. The guys really came out and really played. We had a couple competitive drills with linebackers and running backs. It is a pretty competitive drill. It is pretty fun. We got the chance to get involved. I thought the guys started to establish their own identity today. Usually, I have to get some sort of spark. Today, I felt other players gave us a spark. I felt other guys kind of enlightened the practice. It was a lot of fun to see. It was a lot of fun to see the personality of our team come out. That was fun. As far as the injuries, we have a few guys nicked up and banged up. Nothing was that serious. I will give you an update on each person on Thursday. Some guys were held, because they are one-a-day guys right now, and all those type of deals. So, I will get you that on Thursday. That is when we know who is playing and everything like that. This afternoon, we decided to walk it through. I ended that last period with a no-huddle. We are going to come out and run this afternoon with Kurtis [Shultz]. We are going to get those guys to run a little bit. Then after that, we are going to walk through the periods including the one period that we missed this morning, the one that I cancelled. We are actually going to go through the 12-12-12 preparation for Jacksonville. It is kind of a walk-through preparation type period. We will get them a little sweat. We will get them going. Again, I can’t speak highly enough about how they practiced today with the enthusiasm. I could see the team develop its own personality with guys like Sabby [Piscitelli], guys like Kyle Moore. Jeremy [Trueblood] kind of got up in the nine-on-seven, and he stood up, and got back up on the next play. He let him know about it. Jeremy kind of gave him a little smirk, but it was fun to watch. I just kind of stood back, and watched it from afar. It was fun to see. It was fun to see your team develop that attitude that you want to instill in all of them. I told them all last night, ‘Nobody on this 80 man roster is worried about being cut right now. If you are worried about being cut, then you probably already are. Right now you are playing your lights out. Don’t start looking around, counting numbers, because we are going to keep the 53 best people in this room. That is what we are going to do. Don’t count numbers at positions, don’t count anything. I don’t know what we are going to do. We can do anything."
