“I repeatedly (concept), how can they poke all those guys in?” Kingsbury said. “Thankfully, with Steve (Keim) and Vance (Joseph) and (assistant head coach) Jeff Rodgers, all these guys who had been doing it a really very lengthy time, they’ve helped me with the numbers. The (roster) direction of will be outlandish but I am having a inquire of forward to it.”
