Charlie Weis Quotes form The Team Report

If you go to the regular sports media outlets like FOxSports.com, CBSSports.com and others, you will probably run across a standard Team Report that appears at the home page for those teams within the website. It’s usually good for some quick-hit info on the current story lines of the team. We got these Charlie Weis quotes from the FoxSports.com Team Report. Enjoy:

“The bottom line is we have a lot of guys that aren’t that young anymore. And it’s time for them to step up and mature as a group, mature as a team.”

“We looked back at all the teams that played in the BCS, took the highs and lows, and said here is what the teams in the BCS are doing, and those teams were averaging over 4.6 yards per carry. We were averaging 3.3. It all starts with the run game.”

“If you can run the ball, everything is easier. Protection is easier, throwing the ball is easier, everything is easier. It all starts with being able to control the line of scrimmage.”

On QB Jimmy Clausen: “He is doing a much better job at running the operation. The involvement from calling plays to running plays to running the offense is really a three-step deal. First, just call the play, then you run the plays, then you run the offense, and that is where he has gotten. He has gotten to the point where he is running the offense and once you get to that point, the sky is the limit.”

“I never said we are good enough; we have a lot of room for improvement. I’ll let you know that in September. Right now we have a long way to go. I just think that it was a very good spring; we improved in a lot of areas and we have a long way to go to be a really good football team. But at least potentially the elements are in place to be a good team.”
