He said he believes in players getting a mental break from the rigors of the season, too. Babers said he gave Sean Tucker a "gentle reminder" to keep up his focus, attention to detail down the stretch of the season: "Sean knows what to do. It's just making sure that he stays locked in, and very seldom is he not." Babers on NIL benefitting players more at certain positions based on role: "Don't be afraid to share the wealth and let other guys know how much you appreciate them." Babers said CB Garrett Williams made a "gallant effort" to come back before the BC game, but implies that SU didn't play him until the program was confident he wasn't at risk for reinjury. "We're going to always protect those guys." Babers on Louisville QB Malik Cunningham: "I think Malik is unique. I haven't seen anybody catch him. ... Malik is so fast, guys. How did they go from Lamar to Malik? ... I mean, that guy is fast. I think he's one of the most dynamic guys in the league." Babers on Garrett Shrader: "He looks like Grizzly Adams, and you don't even know who Grizzly Adams is. ... A good ol' country boy. I think that's kind of his personality. He cares, but he doesn't. He cares about his body, but he doesn't. He cares about winning." Babers said that everyone has a role in play-calling. Said he's "always had a little distaste" for dominating voices in those processes, wants to give coaches and players a chance to chime in. Babers said that OL Carlos Vettorello and WR/PR/KR Trebor Pena are likely done for the year. Declines to share an update on FB/TE Chris Elmore. Babers said before the bye that he expected OL Darius Tisdale to return before the end of the season, but no follow-up yet today. Babers said he thinks Liberty's Malik Willis and Louisville's Malik Cunningham are very different QBs. Willis can sling it at an NFL level and Cunningham is much, much faster. So, there isn't much value in having played the former while prepping for the latter. [/QUOTE]
