Randy Edsall Pass Quotations

Everybody has to take a bit more pride and effort that the No. 1 job of the offensive line and running backs is pass protection. You don't want that quarterback to be touched. You have to work to do that. Regardless of how many first-year guys we have in the offensive line, they're playing and that's the job they're expected to do.

Shane has got a tremendous passion to be a pilot. It's not something that he could do here from an academic standpoint so he's going to be going down there because he wants to be a corporate pilot. I told him that when he gets his license we'll rent a corporate jet and he can fly me around or something.

Now we've just got to go and practice those things and let him do what we feel he can do the best.

He's demonstrated to me to have the best work ethic. He has the most passion of the next best tackle that I think we have on our team. He has the size, the strength and the athletic ability we're looking for. I just felt as we head into spring that he's going to line up there. It's based on what he's done and what other guys didn't do.

We'd like to get him up to about 250. He's a guy that has the athleticism to play the run and play the pass equally well.
