Jefferson is the first to admit that he has to do a better

quote:

Miles has made it very clear to Jefferson that he still wants to see more separation between him and the rest of the pack at quarterback, namely senior Jarrett Lee.

---

Jarret Lee is a senior? Does he know this?

---

Jefferson is the first to admit that he has to do a better
job of reading the defense

---

no many people admitted this very early last season

The quote I like is this one:

quote:

---

He said first-year passing game coordinator Billy Gonzales, who came over from Florida, has helped him to make quicker decisions. “He came in with a lot of pass packages and broke the passing game down a lot for me,” Jefferson said. “He’s made it a lot easier for me. It’s based on one read, and you don’t have to make too many reads. We have a good mixture of coach Gonzales and coach [Gary] Crowton, and I think our passing game will be way better than it was last year.”

---

Let's hope that Gonzales is a real difference maker for Jefferson and the offense!!! If he can find a way to help Jefferson, he makes a big difference at only one aspect of the offense. Sounds good, let's hope it plays out that way!

Miles also thinks the Tigers probably put undue pressure on Jefferson by trying to throw the ball too much.

---

Good to know Miles acknowledges this.

quote:

---

“I did a lot of studying and see the things I need to work on, the things I lacked, to help me become a better quarterback,” Jefferson said. “I have to be more of a leader. We have a lot of younger guys who are going to have to start for us this year. My biggest concern is making sure they’re ready for the season.

“We all have to be on the right page and build the kind of chemistry we didn’t have last year.”

I'm liking Jefferson more and more. He seems to understand that it takes hard work and dedication to become a better QB and a leader.
