Quotable:

"Johnny needs to continue to get better. So I wouldn't look for the reps to change much more than they would, particularly early in the spring. And when you have new coordinators, there's going to be a different personality to the offense. I don't look for the reps, particularly early in the spring, to change much more than they would in preparation for a game. Couple weeks left in the spring when we're trying to figure out where the other guys are, that might change a bit.

"But we need to get in, get the rust knocked off. Not just him ... I'd say the same thing about Jake Matthews. Cedric has played a lot of football but is moving to right tackle. I look for those guys to get a bunch of reps because the misconception is that it's just one player, but offenses and defenses play as 11 guys. So you need to have those 11 guys or the core of those 13 guys on the field as much as possible so you as a coaching staff can evaluate their performance and so they can get used to playing with each other."
