2007 Navy vs. Wake Forest

<p>Comments from Navy head football coach Paul Johnson following practice on Wednesday, Oct. 17</p>

<p>On Wake’s defense </p>

<p>“They are pretty good. They are really good against the run so they match up very well against us. They have big guys inside, their perimeter guys are fast, they have good cover corners and their safeties will knock the fool out of you. They have a good team.” </p>

<p>On similarities between them and any previous opponents this year </p>

<p>“They are a little bit like Rutgers except I think their corners are better than Rutgers’ corners.” </p>

<p>On if they will change anything on defense for Wake Forest </p>

<p>“We play the way we play. We aren’t smart enough to line up more than one way.” </p>

<p>On the rugby punt </p>

<p>“We can do either one. We have only punted six times and I think we’ve tried to rugby punt maybe twice.” </p>

<p>On having two of the six punts partially blocked </p>

<p>“It’s an issue. It’s a concern.” </p>

<p>On tackling </p>

<p>“We work on it every day. You have to bend your knees, keep your head up, grab cloth and run through the tackle. It’s the same thing we tell them every day. You can’t duck your head and try to cut people or try to knock them down with a shoulder block. We aren’t as big as the other teams so we have to jump on and go for a ride. We can’t be ankle biters.” </p>

<p>Comments from Navy nose guard Nate Frazier following practice on Wednesday, Oct. 17 </p>

<p>On the defense’s attitude </p>

<p>“We know we have to do a better job. The offense is doing their job and we know we have to do a better job of playing faster and tackling better.” </p>

<p>On his season so far </p>

<p>“It’s been a learning experience. It’s my first year as a starter, but at the same time we can’t keep using youth as an excuse. We are six games into the season and we have to show improvement.” </p>

<p>On the injuries </p>

<p>“If someone gets hurt it gives somebody else a chance to step up and show they can play. You don’t want anybody to get hurt, but it happens. It’s the nature of the game.”</p>

<p>Brothers keep football, military traditions soaring at academy</p>
