Video: PJ Fleck Media Availability - Aug. 2, 2021


Some retailers in MN are mandating their employers to wear masks again. Fingers crossed we can go to games :-/
 

Big hype for the freshmen DL.

(please don't be like Jerry's talk about WRs...)
 


PJ:
team has lot of depth, lot of experience, player led, fun to coach,

7th, 6th and 5th year guys and others with game experience add a lot, lot of trust, know what we have at OL, know what we have at QB, can get after it in practice

Spring was really productive, lot of good work, ones don't need as many reps, can get the 2's and 3's more reps, helps depth even more

oline smart, together, focused, giving, guys have chosen to be here for each other, for team

want to play 10-11 dlinemen,
Nyles Pinckney and Val Martin nice additions,
DeAngelo Carter showing tremendous growth
MDT one of best offseasons, grew more than probably could imagine

really like the redshirt and true frosh dline talent

targeted some areas for help in portal
we hit on Jack Gibbens, we hit on Nyles P

good competition at kicker with transfers Mobley and Trickett and healthy Walker

have a chance to beat anyone, realize we can lose to anyone

Morgan leader, heartbeat...he got better in off-season

gotta win turnovers, tackles, explosive plays, narrow scores

have done a lot of offseason work on opponents

will play some guys at WR that people will say "who's that?"
might find ways to get more people involved in pass game

WRs have worked hard with QBs in offseason
 


Tanner Morgan

TM says we want to force teams to bring in an extra guy to stop the run

says rcvrs, qbs, tes have worked a lot together in off season

worked a lot with Mo in offseason on routes "he's got great hands"

CAB great on 50-50 balls

d-line has really improved, deeper, playmakers

internally very high expectations
 

Mo:

Potts has gained a lot of confidence, getting better every day

on same page with oline, happy to be out there

with NIL, I am going to find a way to take care of my olinemen
 

Chris AutmanBell:

says Mo is good route runner, good hands, will show that more this year

D-Jack, my guy: Daniel Jackson has gotten a lot better than what you've seen, better with hands, arms, getting out of breaks, best releases- reminds me more of Tyler every day, will show out this year

Tanner's dad will be missed

psyched to play in front of a big crowd vs OSU

he was asked about Doug Emilien and Dylan Wright: both have gotten better in Spring and Summer, will show out;

Doug Emilien is quick and super elusive, super explosive
Dylan Wright has best rcvr body I've ever seen, really goes up and gets it, super athletic, super explosive
 

Boye: looking forward to better interior pressure this year...great off-season, lot of experience in the d-line room...coach each other...likes Von Miller pass rush style...asked about Olympic sprinter from his old high school Hopkins, he laughs that beat Fahnbulleh in a race when younger! like a little brother to him and so proud of him...Thomas Rush has made tremendous growth in off-season...will be a great help on defense...
