On Devon Blackmon’s progress:
"Oh, I think you are going to see him play more and more. He definitely has play-making ability. There is no question. But you know, all players respond differently. Devon is a player who can make plays, but you have to do the right things in practice — which he does, for the most part.
You don’t want to put him in a critical situation where he makes a mistake and it ruins his confidence. So obviously coming off the suspension, he played a little bit against Texas.
That’s a major arena, and to just throw a kid in there, and he doesn’t have an outstanding game. Man, you could ruin his confidence, and lose him for the season.
Coming back this past week, we are at home, and I think he got about 25 snaps and caught a ball. He did a good job on punt returns. You will see that going up more and more.
We are excited about what he brings. But the thing is, you have to be consistent in practice. I think a lot of people see game day. But it is about practice.
