Quoting Chris Petersen on progress, punt returns and financial-aid agreements

(What are the challenges of trying to specifically get the ball to someone like John ross or Kasen Williams?) “Well, coverage. Defense. If they’re going to take that away, we’re not going to force the ball in there if somebody else … if the ball should go somewhere else because of coverage and schematics. Now, you can hand them the ball, you can get it to them on kick returns, those type of things. And so I think we’re doing what we can with John Ross, there’s no question. Do we want him to have the ball more? Yes. Do we want Kasen to get the ball more? Without question. But that’s part of the work in progress thing. What can we do as coaches to help that? What can Kasen help to do? What can the other receivers help to do to be productive to maybe single him up?”

(What does it take to break a punt return?) “What it really takes, it takes about 10 guys in front of you doing some really good work. I always say we have some good athletes back there that are pretty courageous that they’ll make some things happen. But if those 10 guys can give us a chance to get something started, we have good confidence that those returners will make something happen. I think everybody’s like ‘oh, wow, that returner.’ There is some of that, but it is so hard to return punts in college football these days with all the different styles we see. Even if the guy’s a traditional punter, you see all the shield. Well, that’s five to six gunners running down, where in the old days it’s two gunners. And so it’s hard. So I think anytime we can get our punt returner loose, everybody should stand up and clap loud for not necessarily the returner, but everybody else that’s doing a good job to get that thing started.”

After games: Peterman can't wait to watch the film; Sark can't wait to see the bottom of a shot glass and the back of a waitress' head.

My sweatpants got a little tight from like 3-4 minutes of special teams talk. Like, ACTUAL special teams talk. You know, from a coach who cares.

Peterman is fucking amazing.

The dude can flat out coach, and he is a good person.

We are lucky to have him.

I'm starting to think "trick plays" aren't really trick plays, just normal plays that aren't the norm.

He "gets" it. For the first time in many years I have confidence that the coach might actually know what he's talking about.
