(On how rookies T Joseph Noteboom and C Brian Allen are progressing)
"They got a little backup time earlier in the season and they did well. I think (C) Brian (Allen) is really learning a lot from Sullivan. Brian Allen is really paying close attention to a veteran center – the tricks of the trade, how to study, how to learn, those kinds of things. I think his growth from training camp till now has been a vast improvement, just in the knowledge of how to study a football game and how to get ready for a game. That's half the battle – knowing what to expect. (T) Joe Noteboom has moved around to four different spots every day in practice – plays left tackle, right tackle, both guards – and getting a real good feel of how this thing works. So, we feel good about both of them."Wow - love how McVay willingly gives this info. So Allen is truly focusing on being that backup C and being groomed for success while Noteboom is backing up every other OL position and has moved around to four different spots
every day in practice. Good stuff from Coach.
