Some notes for you from today's ACC Football Coaches Teleconference. Florida State has a bye this week after playing on Monday. Its next opponent is Nevada.
James Wilder, Jr. has a banged up shoulder. "Not very serious." "Day to day" #Noles

We did not get a chance to ask about Tre' Jackson or P.J. Williams' injuries. The calls are pretty packed, and we have to compete with other (non-FSU) media to ask questions.
On Jameis Winston's awesome performance:
Jimbo Fisher says he has never had a QB play a first game of that caliber.

On the help Winston got:
On no dropped passes: The receivers ran very good routes. They got to where they were supposed to be, when they were supposed to be there.

Fisher praises veteran skill talent for making Jameis Winston comfortable by doing their job and being dependable.

Fisher says the calls were the same as a year ago (As we've said). The difference? FSU executed better.

With the bye week, FSU will focus hard on recruiting.
FSU coaches may take Friday off to work on recruiting

Fisher defended the play of the defensive ends, noting it is a different style of defense.
"It's a different style of defense. How we went into that game, it's different. On third down, we replace guys. "(1/2)

Fisher says the off week comes at a perfect time to develop the young talent and continue what thet eam worked on in spring.
— TomahawkNation.com (@TomahawkNation) September 4, 2013Fisher is happy with the play of the freshmen. "They're going to make major contributions, and we have to keep moving them along"
— TomahawkNation.com (@TomahawkNation) September 4, 2013Fisher not disappointed in the defensive ends at all. Says on third down they brought in pass rushing specialists. (2/3)
— TomahawkNation.com (@TomahawkNation) September 4, 2013
Fisher said the ends had to spill on power plays and had other responsibilities than pass rush.

Fisher said on first third and long they lost Joyner because his helmet came off, so they couldn't run the call they wanted.

Fisher says three jet sweep plays given up were due to poor support in the secondary.
