Speaker 1: You guys got an opportunity to play. Um. You know,
Speaker 1: I thought the first group did a decent job, especially
Speaker 1: in protection. You know, we were um pretty clean except
Speaker 1: for one play that Mark ended up slipping underneath the
Speaker 1: linebacker and getting the first down actually on scrambling for it.
Speaker 1: But um, the first line did a good job keeping
Speaker 1: the quarterback clean. We had a little bit too much
Speaker 1: pushing our second and third group. I thought the pocket
Speaker 1: collapsed a little bit, both on Matt and on Timmy
Speaker 1: a little bit. So those are some things we got
Speaker 1: to correct. But overall, I thought the communication was good
Speaker 1: and um, they knew what they were doing. From an
Speaker 1: assignment standpoint, there's a lot of technical things we need
Speaker 1: to continue to work on, keep going on to day. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so they run around, he's got his home it on him. Um,
Speaker 1: we'll ease him back. And he's missed a few things,
Speaker 1: so I don't he won't go through the full practice,
Speaker 1: but he'll start going through agilities and things like that,
Speaker 1: so pay there before. So it stults just mixing a
Speaker 1: matching those guys. You know, again, I've said it, I
Speaker 1: know I say it a lot, but it's the same thing.
Speaker 1: If your versatility you gotta be a guard tackle or
Speaker 1: you gotta be a center guard. So um, Dennis Kelly
Speaker 1: played a couple different spots. Donnis played left and right.
Speaker 1: You know, I think anybody in that second group kind
Speaker 1: of moved around a little bit, except for maybe MafA
Speaker 1: just stayed at right guard, but Julian and Mok switched
Speaker 1: off a little bit at center and guard. So um,
Speaker 1: that's just what we always do with our second groups
Speaker 1: today to make over back tomorrow. So couplings back today
Speaker 1: and Marto where the Ravens come in being part of
Speaker 1: those practices like the comedy would you would it's just you. Yeah,
Speaker 1: therefore go let me take place from the file positions
Speaker 1: from something. Yeah, we actually used wrote Roe, Watkins and Denzel. Um.
Speaker 1: You know, I think all those guys had had some
Speaker 1: really good players. You know, Eric made Nights play on
Speaker 1: a fumble strip you know, near our sideline. Um, also
Speaker 1: another fumble you know where Marigos came in. They ended
Speaker 1: up Baltimore, I mean Indianapolis ended up recovering it. But um,
Speaker 1: you know, I thought he for the first time in
Speaker 1: there because he's he's only been there for the least
Speaker 1: amount of time. You know, we just moved those corners
Speaker 1: in there, but we were pleased with him and Jalen
Speaker 1: did some nice things in there. So it's still an
Speaker 1: ongoing process, but we were pleased with how the Nickels
Speaker 1: played watching the tape. What'd you see from a Barkley
Speaker 1: and Teavo? Um? I thought both of them played well,
Speaker 1: But I think I'm in both of their occasions. There's
Speaker 1: a couple you know, miscommunications where some things broke down
Speaker 1: that weren't their fault, you know, so they they've got
Speaker 1: to kind of make some adjustments from it. But I
Speaker 1: thought they both when they had time through the ball
Speaker 1: very well. Um were accurate with their throws. Um, you know, Matt,
Speaker 1: Matt got a little bit uh, a little bit more
Speaker 1: uh throws and Timmy had in terms of just play calling.
Speaker 1: But um, that wasn't by design, that's just kind of
Speaker 1: how the game expressed itself. But I thought they both
Speaker 1: took advantage of their opportunities. Does he have catching up
Speaker 1: to do after two weeks? I think, Natalie, he's good,
Speaker 1: but he has been out for two weeks, so we're
Speaker 1: you know, he'll go through agilities and um individual jols
Speaker 1: today and maybe just a little seven out seven. I
Speaker 1: don't know if they're going to put him in a team,
Speaker 1: but um, he should be good to go by the
Speaker 1: end of the week, right to see. I just think
Speaker 1: it's a different competition, different different number one, different offense.
Speaker 1: You know, they'll see a little bit more two back. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, we didn't see much two back. We got
Speaker 1: a little, just a little from the Colts, but they
Speaker 1: did it with an extra tight end in the backfield,
Speaker 1: you know, playing with the true fullback. I think so schematically,
Speaker 1: there's some different things that I think our defense is
Speaker 1: excited to get a chance to see Um. And then
Speaker 1: anytime I think you get a chance to compete against
Speaker 1: another team, you know, when you got players like Smith,
Speaker 1: you know, Steve Smith out there at receiver and Joe Flacco,
Speaker 1: who's one of the best in the league, you know
Speaker 1: that that's always the great thing. And we got a
Speaker 1: chance to go against the Patriots as you got to
Speaker 1: you know, play against Tom Brady. You know, we get
Speaker 1: a chance to go play against Flacco. You got Sugs
Speaker 1: and Duomerville and that group on the on the defensive
Speaker 1: line that I mean outside linebacker, defensive line in terms
Speaker 1: of pass rush. So that'll be some good matchups with
Speaker 1: our offensive line. So it's just I think the competition
Speaker 1: part of it is what we're really excited about last
Speaker 1: year about Josh hawk consistency, And I'm wondering, what have
Speaker 1: you seen in camp so far to tell you that
Speaker 1: he cut me strives in that regard. I think he's
Speaker 1: been very consistent in camp, caught everything. You know, he's
Speaker 1: done a really nice job from that standpoint. Didn't have
Speaker 1: any targets on um Sunday. But that's just kind of
Speaker 1: how it expresses itself. You know, you can't uh predict
Speaker 1: all the time where the ball's going depending on how
Speaker 1: the coverage is in terms of when you call him plays.
Speaker 1: But um, I think Josh is really matured and been
Speaker 1: really consistent since uh really since April. He had a
Speaker 1: handful of impact play. Yeah, I think it was only
Speaker 1: in the nice he was. He was in their nine
Speaker 1: snaps and at three tackles. So, um, if we played
Speaker 1: him for thirty snap, see what I had. I mean
Speaker 1: we could just extrapolated question. Uh be ten Rube, you're
Speaker 1: the math guy, looked check um coming on from him?
Speaker 1: Or would we were pleased really pleased with him? I
Speaker 1: thought he played really really well. You know in um
Speaker 1: his knowledge and understanding of blocking schemes now, you know,
Speaker 1: going into year three for him really sharp, made some
Speaker 1: real just not only were they physical, tough plays, but
Speaker 1: he knew what what plays they were running based upon
Speaker 1: what was happening. You know. He backdoored once on a
Speaker 1: on a power play when the center block back on him,
Speaker 1: then came deep around the center and made a tackle
Speaker 1: on the backfield. They tried to cut him off note
Speaker 1: once when he was a nose, but the right guard
Speaker 1: couldn't get to him, so he stayed flat on the
Speaker 1: center and kind of flattened him down. Then made another
Speaker 1: play in the backfield, and then on another one he
Speaker 1: was a little twist game inside, but again recognize the
Speaker 1: blocking scheme immediately and then came off of it. But uh,
Speaker 1: we're really pleased with him and how we played on Sundays,
Speaker 1: your second string line come to it. Seems like they
Speaker 1: picked up right basic generally is what Jerry's teaching. I mean,
Speaker 1: how much was that attribute to him and get his coach.
Speaker 1: I think it's a combination of both. There's also really
Speaker 1: good personnel, so there's a lot of people that coach
Speaker 1: the same things. To their ones in their twos, But
Speaker 1: there's a drop off just because of the talent level.
Speaker 1: But when you have the ability to bring Vinnie and
Speaker 1: bo Allen and Taylor Hart and Brandon Bear in that
Speaker 1: next group, there's there's not a big drop off. And
Speaker 1: that's one of the things we look for because of
Speaker 1: how tough it is to play defensive line and how
Speaker 1: much effort we ask our players to exert with. It's
Speaker 1: great that you have the opportunity to spell those guys.
Speaker 1: So Fletching said, and Benny can go play ten snaps
Speaker 1: and then get arrest for three or four, and then
Speaker 1: then those guys can come back and they end up
Speaker 1: being fresher than the guys you're lined up against, because
Speaker 1: you know, if you're an offensive tackle, oh my god,
Speaker 1: you know, fletches, fletches. You know, if we're the center,
Speaker 1: you know, Benny's out of the game. Good here comes
Speaker 1: bow Allen. You know. So there's not a big drop
Speaker 1: off for it. But I think because of how we
Speaker 1: rotate those guys and what we demanded them from a
Speaker 1: practice standpoint, and then their individual skills, I think it
Speaker 1: is really fits to what we're trying to do. You
Speaker 1: had John Germany have a lot of snaps issue your vision.
Speaker 1: They're being more just right out and more evenly than
Speaker 1: I knew the game think takes how you boat in
Speaker 1: and out. We would like to and it's the same
Speaker 1: thing we thought. You know, what our plan is is
Speaker 1: to have more depth there so that we don't have
Speaker 1: to have a guy in for you know, sixty seventy
Speaker 1: snaps at one position, whether it be running back or receiver.
Speaker 1: But that was kind of our thoughts, um, to spread it,
Speaker 1: spreading around because we ask our guys to run so
Speaker 1: much and what they do that you need more bodies
Speaker 1: to do it. So you know, that's borrowing injury. That's
Speaker 1: what we're looking forward to, rotating a little bit more
Speaker 1: at the receiver spot, um, because I think we've upgraded
Speaker 1: the bottom part of the receiver spots, if not necessarily
Speaker 1: the lead worse there happened to be the guy worth Ye, yeah,
Speaker 1: I do. And I think Staff feels the same way.
Speaker 1: The one thing about Andrews, he's very consistent, you know
Speaker 1: what you're getting, extremely intelligent, knows how to run angles, UM,
Speaker 1: knows where he's going on every play. Um, you know,
Speaker 1: don't ask him to do you know, he's he's not
Speaker 1: a flashy guy that's gonna go out there and you're
Speaker 1: gonna see him drive some guy back fifteen yards and
Speaker 1: put him on his back and bankcake him. But he
Speaker 1: always seems to be in the right spot. And I
Speaker 1: think he's worked really hard at it. So when you
Speaker 1: look at your options there and I do you like
Speaker 1: athletics is not position that he's right up there. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: he's up there with those other guys. Yeah, earls, Earl
Speaker 1: will not go to it. I think it's Earl to
Speaker 1: meet go ERTs will be the guys that aren't going today. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there's he says he can't run with his knee. So
Speaker 1: guys like a barn Or might be a year last
Speaker 1: year to do he didn't play at all of you
Speaker 1: played much. How much an advantage Kinski played though, I
Speaker 1: mean it was a really good special teams beater for us.
Speaker 1: Last name Barner, I mean I think some people Barne
Speaker 1: was on practice squads, so he wasn't eligible to play.
Speaker 1: Guys like that, how big an advantage going to be
Speaker 1: here and getting used to everything coming in this year,
Speaker 1: and I mean they all came in the middle of
Speaker 1: the last year. It's a it's an advantage over the
Speaker 1: rookies or some of the guys that are brand new
Speaker 1: to the system. But and they all know, you know,
Speaker 1: we talked about all the time the three that if
Speaker 1: you're not that top group of guys, the three ways
Speaker 1: to make this football team are special team, special teams,
Speaker 1: and special teams. So that has to stand out for
Speaker 1: those guys. And I think he watched Kenyon did a
Speaker 1: really nice job in the return game for US the
Speaker 1: other day. Um, Chris Chris has been and Chris was
Speaker 1: an outstanding special things player for US last year. So
Speaker 1: you know, those guys understand what their niches and what
Speaker 1: they can do. But I think having a little bit
Speaker 1: more experience in those other guys does give him a
Speaker 1: leg up in some situations and roles. Yeah, I think
Speaker 1: he has a role you know as a wing on
Speaker 1: punt and there's some things on punt return. It's just
Speaker 1: kind of how Fhip was rolling those guys. There was
Speaker 1: a lot of different guys that we just wanted to
Speaker 1: get some snaps with a lot of those. You know,
Speaker 1: you look at some of those groups at the end,
Speaker 1: you know, the kick some of those uh, the down
Speaker 1: the line tight ends that we had were down again there.
Speaker 1: All those receivers were in there, so we get some
Speaker 1: things on film. But um, Miles can contribute from a
Speaker 1: special team. Satin did. He played a lot too. He
Speaker 1: did play a lot. That whole second group. I think
Speaker 1: let us in snaps him and Molk and Vanderveldi and
Speaker 1: those guys Tobin, they were on the same kind of boat.
Speaker 1: But um, he was a little inconsistent. I think he'll
Speaker 1: be He'll tell you that. I think just there's a
Speaker 1: little ruster. He hasn't played in a live football game
Speaker 1: in two years. So, um, there were some real good
Speaker 1: things to build upon, though. There's so there's a certainly
Speaker 1: a skill setting there to play offensive line, um, and
Speaker 1: you can see it. But there's also some inconsistencies in
Speaker 1: terms of, uh, sticking on blocks and staying with you
Speaker 1: guys for a little bit. But I think that's more
Speaker 1: of a rustling than than an athletic ability things. Your
Speaker 1: starters are more or less Okayn, you changed on most
Speaker 1: of the whole group behind them. Yeah you lost another
Speaker 1: guy to day. Yeah he's dead coming inside our outside
Speaker 1: because inside they're all the sameing. Okay, Well, Naji's back,
Speaker 1: Acho's back. I mean that's the same at outside. It's
Speaker 1: just with some injury you know, have have put us
Speaker 1: in a situation. Obviously Marcus and Brian have been here,
Speaker 1: but um, you know, losing uh Travis, you know we
Speaker 1: had to bring how to bring in a new guy there,
Speaker 1: and then losing Jordan with a with a high ankle sprain. Um,
Speaker 1: it's just a matter of making sure we got enough
Speaker 1: bodies in camped to kind of to kind of practice
Speaker 1: that we want to practice. But at least Brian and
Speaker 1: um Marcus were here last year, and then and at
Speaker 1: inside linebacker, Acho and uh Naji have been here for
Speaker 1: a while, and then you Brad Jones, who's a you know,
Speaker 1: four or five year, six year veteran in this league.
Speaker 1: That so we think we got some depth. From that standpoint,
Speaker 1: we are going to try more going three easy. Just
Speaker 1: to add now, why not because they didn't move the
Speaker 1: ball up there. I don't think there's anything to entice us.
Speaker 1: The ballsman at the two yard line for the longest time.
Speaker 1: So you just look at the statistics of trying to
Speaker 1: get a two point player, I don't I mean, if
Speaker 1: they wanted to encourage us to go for two, then
Speaker 1: they should have moved where you were going for two
Speaker 1: for them, But it's always been at two three percent.
Speaker 1: I'm not hanging my hat on three percent. So it's
Speaker 1: three percent, it's and it drops down to hundred fifty
Speaker 1: percent on two point plays. So you know, I would suggist,
Speaker 1: where's my math guy? Rode which where we're going with
Speaker 1: we dropped down three percent extra points. I'll get your
Speaker 1: question in. But now we're under fifty percent and two points?
Speaker 1: So what are you going to do math wise? You're
Speaker 1: gonna kick it. We're gonna kick any little across the lead.
Speaker 1: I would say insufficient data one weekend, small sample size.
Speaker 1: That about death? Was that a conscious thing coming out
Speaker 1: of Yes, you have more guys, you can actually be afore. Yes,
Speaker 1: there are times when Wit was you know, you're calling
Speaker 1: plays and who's in the game play call changes a
Speaker 1: little bit. You know, I think you watch Ryan he
Speaker 1: only had two carries, but I think, you know, we
Speaker 1: think as Ryan is a one back, we think of
Speaker 1: DeMarco Murray's one back. We think of Darren in that
Speaker 1: situation too, and at wide receiver we're trying to we're
Speaker 1: I think we really, you know, with the additions of Nelson,
Speaker 1: you know, and Adon Miles. You know, we've got some
Speaker 1: guys there to go along with Coop and Jordan and
Speaker 1: Huff that we think m with two two and Mail,
Speaker 1: I think we've got a lot more depth than we've
Speaker 1: had both a receiver end at running back. So thanks
Speaker 1: dum
