    I'm surprised nobody asked about Montrell.

    Man if you set the speed to 1.25 it sounds perfect. 1.5 is even ok. Keeps you from falling asleep. Wish he would have a little more pace when he does these things.

    I love the guy, so hopefully no one will burn me down for the following joke:

    kinda matches the pace of his offense

    Sounds to me like he's still unsure what he has. We'll know if he actually has it "going on" Saturday evening.

    Particularly when about 75-80 percent is coach speak. The rest is good info but you gotta wade through the rest of it.

    Right.

    (I think he got that from Saban).

    In fairness there aren't many coaches or athletes that have ever given truthful or entertaining conferences, our very own Spurrier being one of the very few I can think of.

    Miami is going to run the freaking ball as much as they can get away with.

    I know he was from WVa, but I think his Momma and Daddy must have been New Yorkers!

    Hoping the pace of the offense and pace of calling in plays is set to 1.5

    Napier -

    I like that!

    This game will be interesting for many reasons especially in that both teams have major question marks. We think we're really improved and are hopeful. I believe this game will tell us quite a bit as to who we are.

    Like Shane M's, I think the key to winning this game is how effective our front 7 will be. We must first of all stop the run. Secondly, we have to get pressure on their qb, not necessarily sack him but pressure him into making mistakes. I suspect we will be blitzing a lot. If we can do these things consistently, then I'm confident in a victory for the good guys.

    Can anyone just give a cliff notes/annotated version of his press conference?
