Covered a pretty wide range of topics. But I'll pick one.
They continue to say that TA has the leg up in the QB competition. And I think that's where it has to be for now. But I think he lacks what they are looking for the most:
Will be interesting to see if anyone can push TA enough in fall camp to make a run at the job.

LinkLJS: When you're looking at quarterback recruits, what traits are you looking for first?
DL: “I think an accurate thrower with a strong enough arm to make the throws in our offense is most important. I think an athletic guy is always a bonus, especially with a little bit more shotgun that we’re running. The guy’s got to be smart. He’s got to be a football-intelligent guy. And we really have to get that from the coaches, the high school coaches that we’ve talked to, we need a guy that can make adjustments, that can read coverages.
"But I think the starting point is, 'Can he throw strikes? Is he an accurate thrower? Can he make the throws that we need to make in our offense?' And probably then, is how athletic the guy is. Because we’ve had them in all shapes and sizes. We’ve had them from 6-5 to 5-10 and they’ve all been good players for us. So we’re not too caught up on the height. But I think a big, strong, athletic guy is always a plus."
