Mark Whipple Quotes (6 Quotes)

Omar Jacobs is a really talented young man. The only problem we might have with him is in my meeting room. We'll have more MAC updates than any other place in the country. So it will be interesting between Ben, Charlie and Omar.

I know that when I went to work him out, (the Giants) put a hard rush on him. But Ben would have been good wherever he went. The difference is last year he had all he could handle just to know what we were doing. Last year we never could have done the game plan we had for Denver. Not even close.

The only place I'm moving will be on the dance floor tonight. We'll think about that stuff later.

He was good when he got here, and he's getting better all the time. I was fortunate to land in a tremendous situation.

He's tremendously talented, he's really got some rare natural gifts. We felt really strongly about him, and it was more than how talented he was. He sees the field tremendously, he never makes the same mistake twice and he learns from all of them, and he's a tremendous competitor that knows how to win.

I can go up to him and say, 'Hey, what are you seeing out there, or, did you see that' ... We couldn't talk about those things last year. He knows personnel on the defensive side of the ball now. Last year, he would know Ray Lewis as the linebacker for the Ravens, but he wouldn't be sure where McAlister was. Now, he can see things. He knows our offense so much better, and that's allowed him to learn more about defenses and all their subtleties.
