Weakness Quotations | Page 3

We're nowhere near where we were last year. By the grace of God and only by his grace that we were undefeated in this conference and it showed tonight; we're very vulnerable in a lot of different areas and teams are starting to exploit our weakness and hopefully, we can get back to addressing our weaknesses. We're nowhere near the number-one team in the conference, especially the way we played tonight.

Our middle linebacker's an All-Pro and he had (90) tackles. That shows you what kind of team we have. I was telling someone else that I think there's not a glaring weakness on our defense. Before, if a corner had 150 tackles, obviously he was picked on. We don't have that. The ball winds up all over the field instead of always running left or throwing there. That has made everyone even as far as statistics go.

Kyle definitely has a major weakness in terms of his defense on his feet and that is something he is going to have to correct, especially now that he is getting a little higher in weight. He has kind of been used to winning with horsepower and that approach is not working so much any more so he is going to have to get better at that or it could wind up being a long year for him when the post-season tournaments roll around.

Kyle has really fine-tuned his game. The only weakness in his game could be in distance, because of his young age. The rest of his game seems to be flawless. He is very talented around the greens in short play, and that's what allows him to score very well in the tournaments. ... He spends an endless amount of time on putting greens.

I think the reasons for that are an insurance against further weakness of the economy and we know the industrial economy still looks really soggy.
