TE Tommy Meyers does not have limitations – Diaco
TE: 5 big, tough, smart dudes to play that position – Diaco
Kenton and McBryde having a fierce battle at DE – Diaco
Diaco – “Many players have matured since the spring”
“If you are on ‘the list’ you can’t participate, meaning if you don’t go to class, we can’t count on you to do the right thing on Saturday”

“WR’s, 6-7 guys who will be constantly playing.”
“RB’s in fierce competition for reps. All should participate in games.” Diaco

Diaco: “If I had to make a decision today, it would be very hard to make.”
Diaco: “We can operate our offese with any of the 3 QB’s, none will prevent us from winning, we can win with all 3.
