Coaches Q&A with Chris Eiswerth:
Q. What are his strengths on defense?
A. On defense he’s so technical. He comes off his blocks fast and uses his hands very well. He’s a tremendous pass rusher. He has the ability to run guys down and make plays. He really showed it last year against some really good quarterbacks we played against.
When you have a guy with his size and length, he knocked down a good many passes last year and teams last year either double-teamed him or just run away from him.
He has that ability to shut down a side. He has power and finesse.
Each year he has gotten bigger and stronger. He’s one of two players that have started since his freshman year for me.
Q. What are his strengths at tight end?
A. He has great hands and is very athletic. He may be a tight end but he’s our best blocking lineman we have out there. Last year we threw screens to him and he did a good job for us.
We like to run to his side because he’s such a good blocker.
His is very versatile and we move him around on the line.
Q. Final thoughts on Tyler?
A. He’s a tremendous young man. He works hard not only in football but also in the classroom. He’s an excellent student. He has the total package. I am very proud of him.
The younger players look up to him at what he’s doing on the field and in the classroom.
He’s like another coach out there.
He has been all over the college camps this summer working on his offensive and defensive skills.
