“I think the team responds really well to Arch,” Sarkisian said. “You know, I think Arch loves football. He loves to practice. He loves to work, and it’s funny because Arch probably talks a little more (expletive) than people give him credit for outside of our building. So in practice, there’s a good amount of banter that goes on, and now Arch has more confidence. He gives a little more of that banter. He gives a little more of that banter back.”

Sarkisian cited an example of Manning and Texas defensive end Colin Simmons playfully exchanging words during a practice...

“He and Colin were getting into it today about a screen play, and it was all out of fun,” Sarkisian recalled. “It’s nothing out of, like, negative. It’s out of fun, but you can see that they’re loving practice. They’re loving to practice, and I think that starts when your quarterback loves practice, when he’s having fun being out there, and you can feel those guys responding that way.”
