Brian will have video of the whole thing later, I'll pass on noteworthy stuff here.
"Glad to be 1-0, fortunate to be 1-0 and really thankful for the way our offense played today."
Lock "played really as well as I've seen him play."
"Got three tailbacks I feel really good about."
Singled out Simms and Castillo doing very well in their first starts.
"The bad and the ugly how we played on the other side of the ball. ALl those fingers point directly at me."
Called one defense in the second half and stuck with it most of the half. "Don't want to get in many arena football scores."
"You're not gonna get me down. We're 1-0."
"First half defensively, I was trying to do a little too much."
"More than anything concerned with the tackling early on." Said they hadn't tackled like that in fall camp. Third downs, some of the man coverages they had mixups with young players. "We've got a lot of athletes on that side of the ball. Still like what we're doing up front on the interior at the defensive tackle position."
On the Hilton penalty: If you get close, you're done. "That is day one elementary football."
The penalty on Crockett: He said he didn't know where he was, wanted to try to get in the end zone. "Officials are always right."
Said he never got in that situation as a player because he was never out in the open.
On McCann: "I was surprised. I'm glad he got back on track...We can't go down that road."
"By no remote idea, thought, is that where we need to be...I am also quite confident we will be a lot better going forward."
"The entire back end, we've got a lot of guys we've got to get ready to go play."
"I didn't spend a lot of time on dwelling on last year. This is an entirely new team and new locker room."
I asked about AJ Logan who didn't play. There is a statement coming. Odom says he is involved with the academic investigation with the NCAA. He will get on the field, but it will be a little while.
