HA Note: "Offensive coordinator Nick Rolovich acknowledged that Moniz still "was No. 1" when he departed. McMackin said Moniz will remain in that first tier despite the absence. Still, Rolovich said, "nobody really separated" himself from the other quarterbacks during the 15 practices of spring training spread over a month."
About how Royce Pollard is ahead of Billy Ray Stutzmann at right wideout, Rolo said that Pollard:
"had a very good spring. It seemed like he made bigger plays for us this spring than he did in the past." (HA)
About how Billy Ray was hampered by nagging injuries, Rolo said:
"I thought Billy Ray started off spring really well. He got banged up a little bit." (HA)
About how there never is enough time to get everything done in the Spring, Dave Aranda said:
"The first two weeks we really installed heavy, so the last two weeks we've been repping it out and getting to know the details and adjustments. There's still other things that need to be inserted, but I feel the base of our defense is in. You'd like for spring to get a look at people, you'd like to get looks at the Army option, the USC power, the Colorado quick-throwing game. ... You have to juggle your time and there's not enough time." (HSB)
About how they have to cut between 30 and 35 players this week, Mack said:
"We'll make some decisions. Everybody out there is a player, you just have to do the tough thing and it's a numbers thing." (HSB)
About their play in their final scrimmage, Mack said:
"It shows that it's really competitive because there were plays made on both sides of the ball, big-time hits, and big plays on offense. We're moving in the right direction." (HSB)
About how Stepter and Ornellas played a lot more because their top 3 CBs were sitting out by the end of the Spring, Aranda said:
"Our twos were also our threes and fours. Real proud of those guys, they were able to do what they needed to do. We're down to bare bones and (Rich Miano and Chris Tormey) coached them up." (HSB)
Feeling like they are more experienced and have depth now, Mack said:
"We have veterans now. We had seven starters back last year, we have 17 back this year and we played without several of our players (due to injuries). I feel we have some depth and we're young. That's what I like about this team, they're young and hungry and competitive." (HSB)
