Al Groh Time Quotations

we might be going till December without him, and I don't think about it. . . . The only time I have a discussion about it is when I'm talking with you guys.

I wouldn't say count him in, but I wouldn't say count him out either. He's got a great attitude about it. His doctors are very positive about it. It will be some time before we can make a final determination.

He was a great inspiration to the players and coaches, ... On those days when he had to take chemo and radiation, he was at practice that day and sometimes the cumulative effects would cause him to miss the next day, but the time when he wasn't active in the program was minimal.

He's got real focus, but he's always very calm in terms of game circumstances as well as his own personal circumstances. I think he projects that very well, that sense of purpose and focus but calm at the same time to his teammates also.

I think we'll keep the same policy with that position that we have with all the others. If at some point in time a player who hasn't been playing gives us a better chance to win, we'll use that player.

We had to play Mark Miller outside today which really just left us with a three-man rotation inside. It seemed like Antonio's time is here. He had a good week of practice. We're committed to playing these young players and the only way they are going to improve is to play them in the game.

Well, we don't have (the minors), ... There's a lot of catching up here to do with Ahmad's game, the things that he hasn't done since Aug. 5 to improve and polish his game. So, we're solving a need as well as trying to get him some action, you know, get him a little time there.

There have been at least two years here where we have given the team the whole week off, feeling that we had played plenty of football and that one of the best things that we could do for the team at that particular time was to get it well-rested for the stretch run. Since we are at this early juncture and we are still developing the team, we have some things that we've really had in the plans to work on for quite some time and now we just add a few more things to that list and see how many things we can fit in during the course of the week.

Vic has some of those Marques personal qualities in that it would be advantageous to the team to have him in the game. We all think, Vic included, that we're anxious to see Vic in the game. So we want to give him the best possible opportunity to compete for the most possible playing time at the soonest possible time in his career.

This has been his best session since he's been here. I think this is the first time really that we can reasonably think about getting some playing time for Marvin.

In all fairness to Tony, he's started for quite some time at cornerback, ... We weren't going to move him to a position where he wasn't going to be a starter.

It's better. I'm sure he's looking forward to a time when it's a lot better than what it is now.

I really hesitate to say it because he hasn't played a game yet, but he's really looking like what we're looking for there. For what he's had to learn and do in a short period of time here, he's been impressive. I would expect that he's going to be a good player this year and increasingly better in the future.
