Some of the routes he had 56 00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:13,000 Speaker 3: had some guys not running right routes all the time. 57 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,959 Speaker 3: That's tough, but uh uh, I thought he started. It 58 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:16,840 Speaker 3: was a good start for him. 59 00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:19,840 Speaker 6: You mentioned, uh Baco Center, biggest plus from what you 60 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:21,400 Speaker 6: had to think. Cleveland's in there to day. 61 00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:23,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean we'll see, you know, I gotta look 62 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:24,720 Speaker 3: at the tape to kind of get a feel for that. 63 00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:27,760 Speaker 3: I'm not exactly sure how those guys did specifically too much, 64 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:30,520 Speaker 3: but we had we we were pretty solid, look like, 65 00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:31,880 Speaker 3: So we'll see what looks like on tape. 66 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:32,240 Speaker 2: That's the thing. 67 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:34,000 Speaker 3: You just can't wait to get to the tape and 68 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:41,760 Speaker 3: and really break it all down and see where you're at. 69 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:40,400 Speaker 1: What. 70 00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:46,400 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, absolutely, I mean he's you know, he feels 71 00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:49,320 Speaker 3: bad about it, but he's just starting out learning experience 72 00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:52,119 Speaker 3: for him. I think you the speed of this game 73 00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:54,400 Speaker 3: is a little different, you know, and going in there 74 00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:56,280 Speaker 3: that first snap, you know, it's uh, that's a tough 75 00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:57,200 Speaker 3: situation to be in. 76 00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:00,880 Speaker 2: So uh So I don't know, it's he'll learn from it. 77 00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:01,280 Speaker 2: It'll be fine. 78 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:03,600 Speaker 3: It's preseason, you know, we we learn, try to learn 79 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:05,760 Speaker 3: as much as we can from these situations, and he'll 80 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:07,760 Speaker 3: be better for it. He's a he's a conscientious guy. 81 00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:10,200 Speaker 3: He wants to do well. He's a good dude, really 82 00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:12,880 Speaker 3: works hard. Uh, you know, one of those guys that 83 00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:14,640 Speaker 3: takes responsibility for all that kind of stuff. 84 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:15,760 Speaker 2: And he'll be fine. 85 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,480 Speaker 7: Any of me would take aways from the the special 86 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,639 Speaker 7: team return and changes and uh, Eagles had one pretty 87 00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:23,480 Speaker 7: decent return to anything else can cuss home? 88 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:24,919 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean r L three didn't do a great 89 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:26,520 Speaker 3: job of getting in there on his leverage on that one. 90 00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:28,280 Speaker 3: So I I that's the one thing I did notice. 91 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:30,079 Speaker 3: The rest of it, as far as what the play 92 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:32,600 Speaker 3: looks like and all that stuff, it's like kind of 93 00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:33,560 Speaker 3: done commenting on that. 94 00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:34,960 Speaker 2: You know, it is what it is. Ever you all 95 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:35,280 Speaker 2: saw it. 96 00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:37,120 Speaker 3: So we just gotta try to get as good as 97 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:38,480 Speaker 3: we can at it. So we'll be we'll be looking 98 00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:41,040 Speaker 3: at that really hard and trying to trying to keep 99 00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,160 Speaker 3: keep improving there and see see where we were right, 100 00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:45,000 Speaker 3: and things we thought about in terms of how we 101 00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:48,120 Speaker 3: are teaching it and things that we can learn from John. 102 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:52,440 Speaker 7: You had declared the jobs in the back up pretty 103 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:53,480 Speaker 7: early on on what what. 104 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:57,640 Speaker 3: Did you see from him tonight that you know not most. 105 00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:59,000 Speaker 5: Person light and see for him? 106 00:03:59,040 --> 00:03:59,839 Speaker 2: When was the last part? 107 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:03,240 Speaker 3: I just seemed like, you know again up the time 108 00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 3: even Yeah, I mean it's preseason. I think if you 109 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,120 Speaker 3: watch all the preseason games, you're gonna see the same thing, 110 00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:10,440 Speaker 3: you know. So, Uh, I thought he handled it, handled 111 00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:13,160 Speaker 3: it well, made some real good throws, the timing and 112 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,280 Speaker 3: that sort of thing. Yeah, it's tough to evaluate, cause, 113 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:17,560 Speaker 3: y you know, the guys aren't out there. It's not 114 00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:20,840 Speaker 3: it's not always gonna look real great. But I thought 115 00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:22,440 Speaker 3: he handled him suff really well. He made some really 116 00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:25,240 Speaker 3: good throws and uh, protected the football like you want 117 00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:27,239 Speaker 3: him to do, and got us in the right plays, 118 00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:29,000 Speaker 3: made some decisions on which plays to get us into, 119 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,600 Speaker 3: which is part of our offense. So uh, that's kind 120 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:36,120 Speaker 3: of where it's at. Any first persons seeing Andrew Morgy's 121 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:38,600 Speaker 3: out there the first time actually going up against now 122 00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:41,680 Speaker 3: in students, Yeah, it seem good. You know, I'm I'm 123 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:43,280 Speaker 3: looking again. I'm looking forward to seeing the front of 124 00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:45,560 Speaker 3: the lineman on the tape. You know, probably next time 125 00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:47,919 Speaker 3: we have a press conference, I'll probably have a little more. 126 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,280 Speaker 2: To talk about with that. But I thought they were 127 00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:51,000 Speaker 2: pretty solid. 128 00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 4: You know. 129 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:52,200 Speaker 2: I'd like to see us. 130 00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:54,640 Speaker 3: Running the ball a little better, uh, a little more 131 00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:55,760 Speaker 3: consistently than we did. 132 00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:56,520 Speaker 5: Uh. 133 00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,640 Speaker 3: Pass protection seemed okay for the most part.

He talked about 139 00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:18,039 Speaker 1: the value in those preseason reps and what he learned 140 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:18,839 Speaker 1: from the experience. 141 00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:24,760 Speaker 5: So what did you think of you know, you know, being. 142 00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:25,800 Speaker 7: Able to get out there for today? 143 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:29,680 Speaker 5: How man?
