Tyler Palko Quotations

Right now, it is a feeling out process with this offense. As much as I study and learn the system, I still have to get used to the offense and I'll continue working, as will everyone else.

We're looking forward to getting back into it. It's been far too long since we've had the pads on. We need to be hungry. Last year was disappointing and we're looking forward to getting back after it for spring ball.

We're not where we need to be but we're moving forward. I told these guys (the linemen), give me a couple of seconds and our group will get open. I think they're starting to understand what they're supposed to do. There have been maybe one or two mental errors by the first group in practice. That's a long way from us not even being able to get a ball off in practice last spring.

It's a step in the right direction. Personally, (the offense) is not where it needs to be, but we're getting better. I'd give us a B, maybe a B-minus, but it's better than an F. We're passing now.

Those three games will make or break us,

Those sacks and fumbles were all on me,

They believe in their secondary, and they're confident in their cover ability. So, they challenge you on defense and will make it very tough for our offense.

It's a big joke now as it should be. I made a mistake. I guess I found out my routine for postgame interviews will be to shower and cool down first then do the interviews after I cool down because I guess I have trouble controlling my emotions after a game like that.

I hope it's not a shootout, ... I hope we score a lot of points and our defense holds them to zero.

Like coach said, we're not playing well right now, but we're getting better and we're going to keep fighting. Football's a rough game. It's a tough game. Things don't always go your way. It's a test of manhood to see what kind of guys we have on this football team.
