OC Rolovich is unsure if he'll call the plays from the sideline or in the coaches' booth (and other Warrior quotes in the HSA)

About how they haven't decided whether or not he'll be on the sideline or in the coaches' booth during games, Rolo said:
"We're looking at the two options." (HSA)


Rolo said that from the booth he'll be able to see the defensive coverages better, but:
"you lose that feel you get being on the field. I like being able to talk to players during the game, knowing what they're thinking and how they're feeling." (HSA)


HSA Note: "Last season, the Warriors were 24th nationally in total offense, averaging 437.46 yards per game. But they were 84th among 120 Division I-A teams in scoring (22.77 points per game) and dead last in red-zone efficiency, converting on 61 percent of the 57 drives from the opponents' 20 to the end zone."


About the message he gave his players for the offseason to try to avoid their red zone problems, Rolo said:
"Let's stay out of the red zone. Let's come alive when (slotback) Kealoha (Pilares) catches an out. Let's make these 38-yard gains to the 2, 40-yard touchdown passes. Make that the mind-set." (HSA)


About the mentality of their offense, Rolo said:
"In this (offense), you have to go to the bell. You have to have the knockout-blow mentality. If they keep wanting to get back up, you want to knock them down again. It's very similar to a heavyweight fight: swing until the bell rings or until they go down. That's the mentality of this offense." (HSA)


Praising Moniz's touch on his passes, Rolo said:
"He has a nice control over his arm." (HSA)


About Shane Austin taking the OL to an outing at Camp Timberline in Makakilo last Friday as a reward for their offseason work (paid by Shane's father) and how it was a bonding experience, Austin Hansen said:
"It was good to hang out and have fun with the guys." (HSA)


HSA Note: "In the past, UH quarterbacks Rolovich and Colt Brennan bought pizzas for their blockers. Austin said he wanted to try something his father had done."


About enrolling in a yoga class after suffering a painful groin injury during spring training, Chizzy Dimude said:
"I thought it would be easy. I was wrong. It was hard." (HSA)


About how the daily stretching appears to have helped him and he feels healthy and has not experienced any discomfort on his surgically repaired right shoulder that limited his blocking last season, Chizzy said:
"Everything is 100 percent. No excuses." (HSA)


About his injury-filled UH career, Laupepa Letuli said:
"No regrets. I want to have a good year." (HSA)


HSA Note: "Toilolo was poised to break into the rotation a year ago, but those plans were short-circuited when he suffered an injury to his right shoulder. At first, only rehabilitation was prescribed. Finally, it was decided he would undergo surgery. "He's ready to make a move," defensive coordinator Dave Aranda said. Ready for a clean start, Toilolo cut his long hair."


NFL scouts projected Lametrius Davis as a late-round pick in the 2011 draft, but Rich Miano said that:
"the arrow is definitely going up. He's our best cover guy. Not even close. He's the NFL prototype in terms of size, weight and speed." (HSA)
