I got Brekke returning kicks, Griebel returning punts, Daly doing FGs and XPs, Bolton punting and "the big fella" Sandland playing TE.

Kind of sounded like he would like too see Greibel returning kicks as well, with how he pointed out how well he was at it. Dunno if that's what we'll see though

Yeah, they almost always had 2 guys back for a return. But they talked about working others into the rotation possibly. I don't want to give away very much though, since it's premium content.

Yes, but one guy is the primary returner. The other is there if the kicker tries to kick it away from the No. 1 guy. The 1 takes kicks for about 3/4 of the width of the field. You have to be really afraid of the 1 to kick away from him due to the risk of kicking it out of bounds and short.

I like DaPrato's energy.

Don't care who else is back there returning kicks but Brekke better be back there since he was the number 1 kick returner in the big sky last year.


If your left, you aren’t right.

If any of you ever get a chance to meet Coach DaPrato, you will be immensely impressed and just come away with a feeling of what a great young man we have as a coach. This interview certainly gives some of that feeling for you. Just a real nice young man who does and says all the right things. I really think one of Coach Ash's strengths is finding and selecting good assistant coaches and DePrato is just another great example of this. If you can't tell, I just really like this young man. :D
