It's hard to get interviews with assistants. Usually they are busy either eating, preparing for stuff.
From today's quote sheet though:
Quote:
(on CB Johnathan Joseph in his second season in the secondary) “He’s a shutdown corner. When you’re calling defenses like (defensive coordinator) Wade (Phillips) is, that’s a great comfort zone for you to have. It’s a great challenge for all of our offensive guys to go against him every day. He was a big addition to our team. He really raised the level of our play, he and (SS) Danieal Manning, no doubt about that. He’s a leader too, a fine young man.”
(on second-year CBs Brandon Harris and Roc Carmichael) “The last five days of OTAs and the first couple days of camp, Brandon has been a little different player. Usually guys will make a big jump from year one to two, so we’ll see. Roc (Carmichael) is still in his rookie year. He missed all of last year and did not play with his injuries, so he’s probably behind Brandon right now, but we’re expecting big things for both of them.”

Lots of secondary guys on the roster. Alan Ball working hard to get on this roster--showed some sense of the ball coming.
