The 2010 football season finds veteran linebacker coach Brian Cabral counting his blessings - and bodies. The head count at his position is way, way up. What's more, quality of play has run stride-for-stride with quantity.
But 2010 finds Cabral counting his blessings - and bodies. The head count at his position is way, way up. And through fall camp, quality of play has run stride-for-stride with quantity. Cabral finally is in a good place and knows it. "My two deep - I can play any of them with first group, and that's where I want to get to," he said. "I want to play anybody I need when I want them. I feel like I've got enough experience and depth to do that. I'm not so hung up on who's starting and who's second team as I am this: just give me four guys I can play a game with. "It's been a long time since I've been able to do or say that. But I'm feeling very confident I'll be able to do that. I have a three-deep and my goal is to bring them along, get them all involved. You're always going to need everybody before the season's over."
Cabral has never been a p.r. fluffer. When he says this, I believe him.
