On Brandon Spikes and Mike Peterson speaking up about the rivalry:

Napier: “Yeah, no, there’s an element to that. Former players. They’re part of that, some of that history we study during training camp.”

On the offensive line rotation with Lyndell Hudson:

Napier: “He’s the third tackle, very capable player. I think he’s impressed me. He did just show up in June, so there’s an element to that. I think he’s continuing to learn and grow and develop more knowledge of the system. I think every week he gets a little bit better. But, yeah, gives us a swing tackle there, which we didn’t have in the opener. Had some issues there.

“We get Kingsley back this week, which I think will be a positive. Look, Jake was player of the game. He played significantly better week one to week two. I think there’s some elements of that that’s helped us developing some depth.”

On the potential of the Wildcat package with Eugene Wilson III:

Napier: “Every year you’re trying to take the skill players that you have and come up with unique ways. Who is your quarterback? Who are your skill players? What can they do? There’s no doubt that guy is good with the ball in his hands. There’s an element to every week we need to find ways for him to touch it.

“We’ve got a group of skill players. We’re going to build our system around the skill.”
