BK presser for Navy:

his players are excited and the loss of the last game carries in the off season and time to get back on the winning track.

 

[beryirish]

players are expected to sleep on the plane to get used to the time change

 

[beryirish]

ND's captains spoke to the team yesterday, Kelly says that Kapron was brought to tears.

 

[beryirish]

Kellys says that plenty of other players could hvae been named captains and he likes the leadership of the team.

 

[beryirish]

navy a difficult opener for any team to have.

kelly apologizes for his "long-winded intro" to his presser. Apparently he never watched a weis gameweek presser

 

[beryirish]

BK is really excited to see the young players on offense compete for the first time.

 

[beryirish]

Kelly says there has been some adjustments to practicing kickoff coverage due to rule changes.

 

[beryirish]

There was no plans made to practice without Cierre Wood - once the decision was made the practice plans changed.

 

[beryirish]

The most important thing about the suspensions in learning how to get theese players to come back as better men and players.

 

[beryirish]

Kelly won't address when he first learned of the rule violation with Cierre Wood. Says suspension was his decision.

 

[beryirish]

Theo's first love is running the ball and will play slot as well versus Navy - GAIII will see mostly running back.

 

[beryirish]

as stated in his thread...Amir won't be available for Navy

 

[beryirish]

It doesn't filter into the team that someone was suspended - it just shows the players that standards need to be met

I expect all of our players be aware of player accountability regardless of whether they are captains or not

 

[beryirish]

Residential Life had nothing to do with the suspensions handed down.

Golson understand what it takes to be leader of this football team - he's always high energy

 

[beryirish]

Chuck Martin will be upstairs during game days.

 

[beryirish]

I've spend more time with the WBs this year than the past five or six years i've coached.

Kelly "optimistic" taht Amir Carlisle may be close to returning to action. kelly doesn't want to play him at 80 percent.

 

[beryirish]

KLM is the clear leader of the D-line and he can manage all the characters in the D-line "room"

 

[beryirish]

Kelly cites "different circumstances" in varying severity of the suspensions to Wood, Utupo.Rees, Carlo, and Floyd, who didn't miss games

 

[beryirish]

I weigh all factors involved when I suspend someone...The goal is to get better citizens after a suspension.

O-line experience will help us and I feel good about the 5 guys we have starting.

 

[beryirish]

Golson is committed to the pocket---he's not gonna run the first time he sees an off color jersey

"they're all going to play" in reference to the receivers.

 

[beryirish]

The wideouts will know their roles and will be clearly defined.

Cam McDaniel is "exclusively right now as we speak" on offfense. McDaniel has been at RB and CB during camp

 

[beryirish]

There will not be a rotation at corner...no need to have one right now

Amir will be cross-trained at RB and slot once he's 100%

 

[beryirish]

If they can't get excited about the opener then why play football? He's not concerned about the time change or venue.

 

[beryirish]

Golson will make mistakes - let's be clear - we will have to try and overcome them.

If' he's not out of character on Saturday, he'll do a very good job taking care of the football.

Golson has shown that he can limit mistakes

REPs Bery Thanks!

Seven kickers tried out during fall camp after a 2011 season that featured one hiccup after another. Jon Teague missed five field goals and four extra points in a year when the Midshipmen lost five games by three or fewer points. That battle is expected to continue until the opener in Ireland. Nick Sloan won the competition last week with fellow freshman Austin Grebe a close second. Sophomore Colin Amerau will travel to Dublin, Ireland to serve as the kickoff specialist.

So even with the rule changes, this lends me to believe we won't see touchbacks with Navy's kickoff unit...does George take one to the house in the opener??
