Like his thoughts on pressure.
In the pros pressure has its place--but a veteran QB and sure-handed receivers can cut up a blitzing defense. Finding a combination of both of those on most college teams isn't as likely.
In college, someone is likely to make an offensive mistake when pressure comes. Not always, but more likely.

I do believe he has done this before. Definitely knows more than we do. Lets just keep that in mind when we give up 300 on the ground or in the air...

If somebody could find ONE thing to not like about that interview they are delusional.
His idea of using pressure is how it is supposed to be. He said it best when talking about "FANS" think it all comes down to not putting pressure on. If you are in a press all the time you will get beat more often than not just due to the raw numbers game. Bringing in extra bodies to apply pressure when you are not getting it from the front 4 is a dangerous proposition.
CBVG I think is going to really be able to "Be His Own Coach". So the folks that think Chiz will be heavy handed in the defense are dead wrong.
So freakin pumped to see the BVGD!!!
