Polian show by Johnny O

Here are the part 1 and part 2 notes

“When you watch the tape, you find out that he really did a very credible job,” Polian said. “Over the course of a 60-play game, Tony Ugoh played pretty darned well. If you said to me, ‘Is Tony Ugoh as good a player as D’Brickashaw Ferguson?’ I’d probably say, ‘Yes.’ Is he as good a player as maybe some people who have higher profiles in the media? The answer is probably yes. To Tony’s credit, when he had to step in and play Sunday night, he played pretty darned well.And as one of our Pro Scouts, Kevin Rogers, said many weeks ago as we were discussing he formation of our roster, ‘There are a lot worse players than Tony Ugoh starting for other teams in this league. That’s for sure.’ Don’t get down on him. We’re not. It’s a work in progress.

“If I can point to one thing Tony doesn’t have it’s great lower body strength and therefore, he needs to be able to be pretty much technically perfect on every play. If he’s not technically correct, then against a Vanden Bosch he’s going to have a little difficulty from time to time. But he hung in last night and did a very, very credible job. There’s no reason to worry about Tony Ugoh and there’s no reason to point fingers at Tony Ugoh and we’re very happy we have Tony Ugoh.”
