Quotes:

  • Bill O’Brien on offense vs. defense today: “The defense came ready to go. I’d say the offense was not ready. The offense made some plays, but we have to learn from that. We got to be ready to go all the time… But I saw a lot of good stuff out there, mostly from the defense.”
  • Bill O’Brien on spring improvement and what’s worked in practice: “The offensive line is much improved. I think that the quarterbacks have done a really good job of really understanding the operation… I think the receivers have made big strides. The running backs have been very good. The tight ends have been good.”
  • Bill O’Brien on the break between spring and summer: “Post-spring practice, that two or three week period is about school. There’s some lifting and some things we can do. And then they’ll get a break… And then when they come back, that’s when we really start the summer program.”
