Doug Marrone used the word "flash" during his comments respecting player development. From Donnie Webb's blog.

"Development is a funny thing. You can see flashes of it. But you have to look at it from the overall picture of practice. We still have a long way to go in what we want to get done from the standpoint of tackling and from the standpoint of blocking."
