Here are some of their quotes from today's post practice press conference:
"Really, the whole camp, we have a few objectives and I think we're on the right track to try and reach those by the time camp is over," Ash explained. "We just want to become consistent; we have a play style we want to play with and we want to do it consistently day after day after day. It will have to show up on Saturdays for the games but I really like where we are at right now."
"It's a process and here, it's no different," Ash stated. "It's a process to get us to where we want to get to. It really starts with the relationships, me getting to know the players and the staff and them getting to know me. It's about being consistent with what we're doing, that's really it. I'm going to be myself and fit in how I need to fit in and get to know everybody. We're going through the process the way we need to."
"My goals for myself is to be better than I was last year," Love said. "It's not a specific numerical goal, I just want to be a better player and a better person. As a team, I want us to be better than what we were last year as well. We know what it takes to achieve greatness and this year, we're coming to work every single day. That's going to be our key to being better than what we were last year."
"I think I'm a smarter football player with the knowledge I have now," Price explained. "I think I could have played quarterback back in high school with the knowledge I have now, probably not college though. It's a pretty good attribute to have being able to see the field. We're back there with the quarterback so we see what he sees but it helps us a lot in the presnap reads and understanding who we need to block, who we need to read and who the blitzers are."
