"Spring practice is for experimentation of your scheme, for experimentation of personnel, getting them to do different things, be it playing base technique, blitzing, pass rushing, different things, so you can get the best guys in the proper places in the Fall. So we'll take a peek [at the video] after spring practice is over, and tear it down, and see who does what well, and try to plug them into where they belong for the Fall...in the meantime they're gaining snaps, they're gaining experience, Ethan is gaining experience on the outside, and a couple of guys gain experience on the inside."

[after effusing about Hafis, he takes a question about Ian Williams]

"He's got to step up, or he's going to be sitting. It's a great thing to be building this depth with these young guys getting experience. Everybody better be getting better. The jobs open up. I'm not disappointed in [Ian] this spring...but if you've got a guy who's been playing two years he better come back as a third-year player and be the best you got, and that's the challenge for him. Don't come out on Hafis' level, who's only been here one year...come out on Ian's level, who's got experience, and get better."
