Speaker 1: Not not not Nick. Offensively, we had six possessions, we had
Speaker 1: two interceptions, two fumbles, we had a sack safety, and
Speaker 1: we had to turnover and down. So that's an offensive performance.
Speaker 1: I was displeased with where our first offense executed. Go ahead, Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, that's the thing is we were able to
Speaker 1: move the ball and got into some rhythm and and uh,
Speaker 1: uh did some did some really nice things. We just
Speaker 1: didn't capitalize and finish the drive and and and that's
Speaker 1: the part we got to look at and and uh,
Speaker 1: you know, I've got to do obviously my part to
Speaker 1: to put us in situations from a play caller standpoint,
Speaker 1: so I it leans, you know, solely on me, and
Speaker 1: uh and then obviously the players have to execute you
Speaker 1: know what we what we call so disappointing the offense
Speaker 1: distance you know, it's just a preseason Um. First of all,
Speaker 1: I'm disappointing the offense. I don't want to single out
Speaker 1: one one player, So don't put the is all on Nick.
Speaker 1: I'm disappointed in the offense. UM. And and it's not
Speaker 1: what you want obviously in the third preseason week. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, listen, it's it's one of those things where
Speaker 1: We're still keeping things very very vanilla, and we still
Speaker 1: want to evaluate and make sure you know, we're doing uh,
Speaker 1: we got the right guys in the right spots. But uh,
Speaker 1: you know, now now we turn our attention obviously, we've
Speaker 1: got one more preseason game and then and then turn
Speaker 1: our attention to to Atlanta on Week one. However, by
Speaker 1: the defense especially, I think that the first get goal
Speaker 1: at the one and they shut it down. It's tremendous.
Speaker 1: I thought defense played outstanding. You know, they were they
Speaker 1: were they were flying around, they were making plays that
Speaker 1: the goal line stand was was was pretty impressive. And
Speaker 1: you know, that's what you want from the defense, and
Speaker 1: kept you know, kept the offense obviously in the game,
Speaker 1: the entire the entire game. Uh, and the offense has
Speaker 1: just got to do their part, you know, and and
Speaker 1: and capitalize on on opportunities. It seems a big caveat
Speaker 1: it's that you recent five and some starters, three other
Speaker 1: contributors there. How much different expect his offense a little well,
Speaker 1: I think it'll be different, you know, as you mentioned, um,
Speaker 1: you know, and we just got to make sure that
Speaker 1: these guys are ready to go. Obviously, you know, in
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks and and uh, we'll take a
Speaker 1: look at this film obviously evaluate the guys that played
Speaker 1: and and uh and you get them healthy and ready
Speaker 1: for par Atlanta. Um, It's it could be a lot
Speaker 1: of factors, you know. Um, it's hard to pinpoint one.
Speaker 1: But I think, uh, you know, I think, uh, sometimes
Speaker 1: maybe you just you just you put a little bit
Speaker 1: too much pressure on yourself or you pressed to make
Speaker 1: a play or whatever it might be. Um, you know,
Speaker 1: and and and I don't know, it's it's tough. It's tough.
Speaker 1: I haven't been in those situations before. Um. Sometimes you
Speaker 1: you you feel like you need to make a play
Speaker 1: yourself when when you're struggling offensively and and and it
Speaker 1: doesn't come. So you know, we just we can't do that.
Speaker 1: We got to stick within our uh, stick within our plan,
Speaker 1: stick within our means. And can you need to execute
Speaker 1: that position as a player, as a play, Yeah, very
Speaker 1: seldom worth a guy and he's kind of not the
Speaker 1: guy here. Do you think that that pleads into how
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know, I mean he you know,
Speaker 1: he finished the end of the season pretty well last year,
Speaker 1: and and uh, you know, we know we know who
Speaker 1: he is, and and and what we need to do
Speaker 1: to get him ready to go. And and again we're
Speaker 1: you know, we're still pretty vanilla offensively and we haven't
Speaker 1: done any of our urpo game and you know, those
Speaker 1: are all things that that are that are part of
Speaker 1: his strengths too. And uh so, so we got to
Speaker 1: make sure that we're when we put game plans together
Speaker 1: going forward, that that that we're utilizing his strength too.
Speaker 1: You're not going to give any consideration to playing them
Speaker 1: in the fourth preseason game, right none? I know, yeah
Speaker 1: at this point now was playing in the second hand?
Speaker 1: Um no, they you know, uh no, Now, I mean,
Speaker 1: you know, I thought about it just a touch, but
Speaker 1: I thought that'd be a great opportunity for Nate to
Speaker 1: get back out there and and and get another another
Speaker 1: good opportunity to see him and I'll see some of
Speaker 1: those twos out there. He's fine, Yeah, he's good. Of course,
Speaker 1: I'll get to get a report here in a minute
Speaker 1: and let y'all know in the the next couple of days.
Speaker 1: But he came off and you know, he finished and
Speaker 1: he was fine. So what you've been through something like
Speaker 1: Nick has and the way lest year ended, like New
Speaker 1: Reference is there. It's part of him trying to be
Speaker 1: you know, great before we can just kind of go
Speaker 1: run the offense. Is trying to be super for VP
Speaker 1: Nick instead of just yeah, you know, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I would say that you might
Speaker 1: want to ask him, you know that question. Um. But
Speaker 1: but again, you know, we just got to make sure
Speaker 1: that that as coaches and and myself included as play callers,
Speaker 1: that that we put our guys in in in positions
Speaker 1: to be successful. And uh, you know, the past is
Speaker 1: the past, and we can't we can't rely on that.
Speaker 1: It's a new season, new team, and and uh, you know,
Speaker 1: we just got to continue to work and get better.
Speaker 1: I was, thus, are you kissed off? And there? Are
Speaker 1: you plocalizing any disappointment in you arr trying to kind
Speaker 1: of well, I mean, you know, when you don't score
Speaker 1: and and you play the way you play on offense,
Speaker 1: it's uh and up being an offensive guy. Uh, you know,
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not very jovial jovial in there, you know,
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not pattent guys on the back, you know,
Speaker 1: praise the defense. I think the defense played played lights out,
Speaker 1: played like they should, you know, and and offense just
Speaker 1: didn't do enough obviously, and and uh, you know they
Speaker 1: understand it, and I wanted to make sure they they
Speaker 1: heard it from me. And and we just move on,
Speaker 1: you know, we fix it and move on. And uh,
Speaker 1: season begins in a couple of weeks. Most of the
Speaker 1: starters obviously not going to plain that fourth season an
Speaker 1: interesting like this doesn't linger into the regular season. Well, um,
Speaker 1: you know, the way the schedule set up now for
Speaker 1: us practice wise, we get a chance to, um, still
Speaker 1: work the starters a lot, you know, this next couple
Speaker 1: of days and and uh, you know, get them mentally
Speaker 1: and physically prepared for that for that week one opener,
Speaker 1: and you know, still still got to work, you know,
Speaker 1: still got to put in the hard work in preparation.
Speaker 1: And uh, you know they understand that, they know that
Speaker 1: it's a veteran group, and and uh they'll they'll they'll
Speaker 1: bounce back, They'll they'll respond They've always done that. And
Speaker 1: and this is no difference. What did you see from
Speaker 1: bide Tie and what's he was working through to try
Speaker 1: to get back to that level he was playing at
Speaker 1: last year. I mean he's you know, he's another one's
Speaker 1: battling every single snap and you know, fighting and and
Speaker 1: uh trying to do trying to work his technique and
Speaker 1: his fundamentals and and uh you know, had had a
Speaker 1: couple of plays tonight that I'm sure he'd want back.
Speaker 1: But you know, he's another one that we just got
Speaker 1: to continue to you know, build confidence in. And we
Speaker 1: know what type of player he is, and um, you
Speaker 1: know got to continue to uh you know, get him
Speaker 1: the reps and the work he needs in practice to
Speaker 1: be to be ready to go. Isaac played four positions tonight.
Speaker 1: Would player? Um well I thought I thought he played
Speaker 1: played well. Actually, uh well, you know the tape. Evaluate
Speaker 1: the tape obviously, you know, going home and get a
Speaker 1: chance to look at it. But you know, he's one
Speaker 1: of those guys that very versatile, you know, can play
Speaker 1: all all five positions and and um smart athletic. I thought, overall,
Speaker 1: did it, did a nice job? Okay, thank you guys,
