Did you watch the Sugar Bowl? A great learning experience. It left a sour taste in our mouth. But this is an entirely different team.

We know this is a completely different team.

We are not going to play just 11 players on defense. I am looking to play as many guys as I can who can play.

My job is to make Coach Smart's job easier. It all starts with our head coach. I can just look to my left and talk to the guy who was the best defensive coordinator for nine years.

T. Stevenson is a playmaker. He was very productive this spring. Do watch practice for a little bit, and you say: We've got a ball player.

COLEY: Its not that we weren't taking it to the next level. It is the demand. We do have some good players. We play against some good players. We have to be better the next drill... not the next day.

COLEY: Jake's a grinder. That's part of his greatness. He's a constant grinder. It is always inspiring when it really matters to that person. The good ones do have that - a passion for the game.

COLEY: One thing I know about Jake Fromm is that I am not walking in the film room without him having already watched it. You have to maximize his work in the film room, so he can maximize what he does for you on the field.
