Associate Head Coach/Running Backs Coach Eric Studesville

(Offensive Coordinator Frank Smith was talking about RB Jeff Wilson Jr.’s mindset and how he appreciates how he attacks and approaches everything with intensity. I’m curious about his physical skillset relative to all the things that make a running back good – speed, vision, quickness, movement, understanding where he needs to cut. What do you view as his best physical attributes?) – “Yes. (laughter) All that stuff. I think what Jeff is, Jeff is a complete football player. He obviously – we’ve seen him run the ball tough inside, outside, trying to finish downfield. He’s able to catch the ball. He’s aggressive with it, trying to get yards in the open space. He’s trying to be physical in pass protection. He’s learning our system really, really rapidly. Obviously, he has some familiarity with it. But I just think overall, this is – he’s just one of those guys that you love because he’s a complete running back. He wants to do it all. He can do everything you need him to do.”

(With RB Jeff Wilson Jr. and RB Raheem Mostert, have you noticed any extra juice maybe from them this week to face their former team?) – “Well, I hope to have juice every week. I don’t know that it’s just one week. I mean, every week that we play is important. Yeah, I know that they have familiarity with his team, but I think everyone in this locker room and everyone in this building is focused on this team in this building, and that’s where our energy is staying.”

(What makes this run defense – we know they’re No. 1 in the league. What makes them so effective?) – “Well, they’ve got good players. That’s always a good starting point. They’re very detailed and disciplined in what they do. You see that on tape. They rally to the ball. These guys run to the ball and they do a hell of a job coaching these guys. These guys do a great job playing, and it’s going to be – we’ve got a big task ahead of us that we were going to have to rise to the challenge on, and we will.”
