Wide Receivers Coach Karl Dorrell

(How are the guys adapting to the new coaching staff, the new techniques and getting back to fundamentals?) – “They’re adapting really well. I’ve been very impressed with my group in particular, just because they’re hungry in a way. They’re excited about the changes that have been made and our offense. But all of those things, whether the X’s and O’s aside like you said, we’re really harping on and building on building a strong foundation with these guys. Fundamentals has been the coach speak right now and what we’ve been doing the last few weeks. We start OTAs next week and going against each other, so that’ll be another big step for us. But their attitude has been just tremendous. You couldn’t ask for anything better for a coach right now.”

(It sounds like you’re excited about the group. It’s a group that seems like wants to take it to the next level. You have guys that have experience, yet they’re not on the cusps of relying on what they’ve done in the past. Is that close?) – “You hit it on the button there. They’re guys that, as you know, that are probably in their mid-way portions of their career where they can really start to take off and get some name recognition, so to speak, or from their own personal standpoint, they just want more production, which is fun. It’s good to see that. They’re a hungry group. They get along very, very well with each other. They work their tails off. So, I can’t ask for anything more from what they’ve been giving me from the things that we’ve been doing. I’m excited about what this potential is for this group. It’s a very talented group. It’s all shapes and sizes so to speak. That’s fun for a coach to deal with when you have some smaller, shiftier, athletic guys that are real explosive to some big, long, strong with long hands and good arm length and things like that. It’s a good mixture of guys that are very, very talented.”

(I know you’ve seen them on film because a lot of guys still coming back from injury with WR Jakeem Grant and WR Albert Wilson. But a lot of speed, a lot of electricity, a lot of potential in getting the football in their hands.) – “Absolutely. Probably as a group, this is one of the faster groups that I’ve had in terms of the entire group. They run pretty well, they’ve got good speed. Some of them obviously are faster than others, but as a group they run very, very well. It’s a talented group. We have some work to go in terms of developing those techniques and getting better at our craft, but there’s no question in my mind that I think it’s going to be an exciting fall.”
