Some other quotes from Kirby:

Jacob Eason has seen some decent development so far. Going into his second year and having Jake Fromm push him, Eason seems to be improving. Someone asked Kirby about whether Eason was working hard enough to keep the QB job:

"“I think Jacob is a great quarterback. I think he’s somebody who understands our system. He works really hard. Jacob comes in and meets extra every chance he gets. A lot of the things you have heard about Jacob may not be true. I don’t know who your sources are; you haven’t told me your sources. But I think he does a tremendous job of trying to lead the team, of trying to be the guy. … And he still has a long way to go. I think he’d be the first to acknowledge that.”"

Lastly, Smart talked about Roquan Smith. Smith missed Spring camp as he recovered from an injury. Smart made some points about how much better the defense looks now that Smith is back. It’s crazy to think that one player can make such a big impact on a team, but to me, Smith is one of those guys.

"“I wouldn’t say as a whole but I would say parts have. They’ve played pretty physical up front. “I knew he wasn’t there in the spring, but I didn’t realize how big that hole was,” Smart said. “But he’s done a good job leading, making calls, he plays so hard. He gives everything he’s got every day. I enjoy watching him play.”"

God I can’t wait for the season!
