IT’S FOOTBALL TIME IN THE BLUEGRASS!!! Well, it may not be time for football, but there’s always time for a Randall Cobb. Kentucky’s “Mr. Do Everything” was interviewed by Foxsportssouth.com, where he was asked a few questions about next season.
Here are some highlights….
[QUOTE][B]Q. So if you had to pick one word to describe this team as you guys head towards the 2010 season, what would it be?[/B]
A. Motivated.
[B]Q. What has the transition been like going from Coach Brooks to Coach Phillips?[/B]
A. I think the biggest thing is just the intensity. A lot of things are the same. Coach Brooks and Coach Phillips have kept us very disciplined over the years, and Coach Phillips came in and realized we’re a good team with a lot of talent. One of the things we haven’t been in the past is physical while playing fast. That’s one of the things we wanted to incorporate in our spring practice. You saw a lot more intensity because people started to care about their jobs more and take care of their responsibilities.
[B]Q. So we can expect to see some big down-field blocks from you then?[/B]
A. That’s the plan! That’s what I’ve been training for.
[B]Q. Clearly, you’re one of the most dynamic guys in the conference, if not the nation. Now that teams have seen you for another season and you’ll be on everyone’s radar, what kinds of things do you expect defenses to do to try and stop you?[/B]
A.Well, right now we haven’t had another proven receiver or passing game, so I think a lot of teams, if they see the Wildcat, they’re going to start trying to stack the box. I’ll expect some safeties to be aware of where I’m at if I’m out at receiver. So I’m looking to get double-covered. But I don’t think it will last long, because a lot of guys are ready to step up and take over their roles at receiver. They’re going to open up some things for me as well as open up things for themselves.
[B]Q. Talk about developing your skills as a WR as far as route running, etc. and what your goals were for improving this off season at the WR position.[/B]
A. Personally, the biggest thing I wanted to work on was making sure that I’m quick in getting out of my cuts. I noticed that I was tending to be a little slow because it’s not as natural to me, this being my second or third year playing receiver. I never really played it before, so there is a lot of stuff I’ve had to learn.
I’m still trying to master it and get it all down but it’s going to take time and take reps and that’s what I’ve been trying to do this spring and summer. Doing a lot of drills with cutting and making sure I’m getting better at route running.[/QUOTE]
