"I think we're still trying to work on that. We showed him examples of quarterbacks sliding and using the rules to their advantage.

"That kid is going to be great. I'm always in his ear, trying to help him. I know he's still got a lot in his tank. . I'm still going to be on him when we get back. But Will showed heart.
