Satterfield in at 12:20 p.m., Clayton White soon after with appearances also with Zeb Noland and ZaQuandre White. Updates will be here for all the fun.
Satterfield
--Thinks the offense took some steps forward but need to finish drives, not shoot themselves in the foot with penalties and turnovers. That starts with coaching fundamentals better and playing smarter football.
--On the fourth down call, said they were anticipating man coverage on that and need to continue to work on it more. Defensive back came up and made a good play. Xavier Legette did what he was supposed to, he said.
--Knowing the quarterback position moving forward helps. Zeb Noland's not necessarily a running threat but can move to evade pressure. They won't work as much on QB runs moving forward, obviously.
--Can seeing doing more under center stuff with Noland. They're going to call plays to fit Noland's skill set with his mind and maturity and understanding what defenses are going to do.
--Noland's always bee an good teammate. He was still trying to figure out early on the dynamic of going from coach to player. He probably feels more part of the team than he did to start just given the situation.
--Has "no issue" if Jason Brown has to play. Has improved "light years" in communication and knowledge in the offense. He continues to get better and better. He understands there will likely be a chance to play this season given how the quarterback positions gone this year. Gauthier is getting a handful of non-scout team reps as well this week.
--At the line of scrimmage they're helping out quarterbacks to get in the right call. That's something they implemented this year with communication and how the play call is relayed. More of a college offense kind of things.
--Jaheim Bell is "special" and "different than anybody on the field." He's a great athlete and player. They made a concerted effort to where he touches ball and get him into space in creative ways.
--Things are going to look very similar from Noland's first two games. They're just going to program Zeb Noland to make sure he knows where the ball is going to go. Said he wants to get the ball to McDowell and Bell a lot more than they did when Noland was out there the first two games (and Georgia).
--Expecting all four banged up guys or guys who missed back. Reiterates everyone is banged up offensively, which isn't atypical.
--Asked about who decides on personnel groupings, said it's up to him but if Shane Beamer wants certain guys out there he'll do it. Mentions position coaches have input as well and will mention if a certain play is better for a certain player and they'll tag that.
--Asked about how he handles outside noise, said he'd love to say he didn't listen to it. His family is the ones who hear it more than he does. He anticipated the criticism and spotlight and jokes he rips coaches of teams he's a fan of. He welcomes this criticism. He knows where this is going and "eventually there will be some joy with the madness.
--Texas A&M has a really good defensive front and its an older front. Elko is going to try and take away the things they do well and they have to be ready for that. They have to be creative to make sure the offensive line isn't having one-on-one blocks and let Zeb Noland get comfortable and get in rhythm.
--White was kind of buried on the depth chart in part because of the performance of the guys ahead of him. Said he brought a lot of energy on the game.
Clayton White
--Mentioned some of the plays allowed by the secondary were easily fixable with training a defensive back's eyes and fixing that in practice.
--On adjustments, they work as a whole and they're watching specific things in each position and charting things to try to check tendencies and comparing it to the game plan. They adjust after that.
--Zacch Pickens is a really talented player and accepts coaching. Mentions any time a defensive tackle gets accolades means he's doing something good. Jabari Ellis is playing well too. Also if Pickens is warranting double teams it helps other guys, and if he's single-teamed then he's hard to block one-on-one.
--Debo Williams is doing a good job adjusting to college football and they'll need to continue giving him more reps. He's been pretty good on special teams as well.
--Jimbo Fisher is a very successful coach who's "been around the block." He's understanding the game and makes it difficult to not show your hand. At the end of the day it comes down to the fundamentals.
--Mentions he's never been to A&M but played at Texas and again at Baylor but knows it'll be a great atmosphere.
ZaQuandre White
--Said he had to be mentally prepared over the last few weeks to get his reps, and he just had to keep practicing well and "staying on pace" while waiting for his opportunities.
--A lot of bang ups. White felt good out there in practice and should be ready to go against A&M.
--On what to expect offensively, said nothing is going to change offensively. Pass protection is going to be very important.
--Excited to see Jaheim Bell emerge as a playmaker. Calls Bell "my right hand man."
Zeb Noland
--Said it's about taking what the defense gives you. Said don't eject out of the pocket too quickly and in practice. They're going more "controlled fast with great communication."
--It's tough transitioning from coach to play but has settled down since the season started with more of a set schedule. Just enjoys being around the team and thought he gave some good perspective being the backup for a few weeks.
--Seeing who the playmakers are more and more as the season goes. Seeing progress from a communication standpoint and understands there will be some issues and growing pains. He told Satterfield before the final drive to "just call it" and trust himself in calling plays.
--Mentions he had to throw with a glove after being injured. Said they had to go get some NFL-type gloves instead of sticky gloves.
--Really been the same entering the week. It's about putting the defense in better situations this week.
--Texas A&M does a good job sending pressure. Now it's about getting guys open and win one-on-one match ups.
--Jokes the trophy A&M and South Carolina plays for looks pretty sweet and would love to bring it back to Columbia.
--Doesn't get wrapped up in his story at all. Wants to play well so all these seniors and guys in their final years close out the season well. They're only guaranteed five games left.
That's a wrap.
