Speaker 1: Defense night stood out about that. I thought the defensive
Speaker 1: line uh really came off the ball, you know early
Speaker 1: there only you know two three and ounce, you know,
Speaker 1: which is exciting to see. Um. I thought they played
Speaker 1: really aggressive, really fast and uh, something you want to
Speaker 1: see from your defense, especially early in games. How is
Speaker 1: Sidney Jones? And how do he looked tonight too? How
Speaker 1: is Sidney Jones? I'll have an evaluation in the morning
Speaker 1: on him. Um, you know, I thought while he was
Speaker 1: in there, um he had he made some made some plays.
Speaker 1: I mean, he was he was doing a really nice job,
Speaker 1: you know obviously you know right now every we played
Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of players. So until I
Speaker 1: see the film and and and grade that and and
Speaker 1: talk to talk to the defensive guys, I'll know more tomorrow.
Speaker 1: But I thought overall, he uh, he played played played
Speaker 1: a pretty ball. Gamelon had the touchdown reception. That's why
Speaker 1: he'd asked him. What's the difference between him this year
Speaker 1: and where he was this time last year? The biggest
Speaker 1: thing is just confidence. You know, he's uh, you know
Speaker 1: obviously had a chance to play in games last year
Speaker 1: special teams. But I think that gives him a confident
Speaker 1: field into into the into the season, and uh he did.
Speaker 1: He did some good things tonight. Um, and uh he's
Speaker 1: he's one of the guys that's competing and and uh,
Speaker 1: you know, competing for a roster spot. Well be here,
Speaker 1: what are your expectations for a short but a lot
Speaker 1: of his first ever football game? And then how did
Speaker 1: he compare? Yeah, I was. I was excited for him,
Speaker 1: you know, to watch him, to see him. I know
Speaker 1: he was a little a little nervous there early and uh,
Speaker 1: once he kind of settled in, I thought he thought
Speaker 1: he did some good things, you know. Um, but it's
Speaker 1: gonna it's gonna you know, it's a work in progress
Speaker 1: with him, and we knew that going into it. He's
Speaker 1: gonna get a lot of time, you know, this preseason
Speaker 1: to play and and uh, he'll just continue to get better.
Speaker 1: But uh, you know, once he settled down, he he
Speaker 1: did some good things that kind of intentional get him
Speaker 1: the ball, roy Ke getting that many targets. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: I want him to I want him to kind of
Speaker 1: feature him a little bit, you know some of the
Speaker 1: you know, we were very vanilla obviously on offense, but um,
Speaker 1: at the same time, just wanted to get him into
Speaker 1: a little bit of a rhythm. He and Nate and um,
Speaker 1: he did did some nice things for us. You know,
Speaker 1: he's he's gonna be a great addition to our offense
Speaker 1: and offensive package and and um, you know, excited for
Speaker 1: for his uh, his future and what he can provide offensively.
Speaker 1: Look like he did a pretty good job in the
Speaker 1: run game. Also, I think that the Giant run when
Speaker 1: they roll then kind of went his way. And then
Speaker 1: how is he doing blocking game? Yeah, you know what
Speaker 1: he's he's really doing a nice job. He's a willing
Speaker 1: participant to block, and and uh, you know, you just
Speaker 1: got to continue to trust his technique, trust you know,
Speaker 1: trust the coaching and and uh the way the way
Speaker 1: Justin is teaching, and um, continue to just get stronger,
Speaker 1: you know, and and it's it's good to see him
Speaker 1: stick his stick his face in there and and and
Speaker 1: be be physical with uh, you know, with defensive and
Speaker 1: outside linebackers, and and um, you'll continue to get better.
Speaker 1: Say that. Yeah, you know I think, Um, I think
Speaker 1: overall played played pretty well. You know obviously that the
Speaker 1: two turnovers are critical, um, but but those are things
Speaker 1: that are all correctable and they're teachable moments, and and uh,
Speaker 1: you know, I can do a better job of teaching
Speaker 1: the route and then teaching the progression all that and
Speaker 1: helping him there. But I thought, once he'd settled down
Speaker 1: into the game, it's some really nice throws, um, you
Speaker 1: know down the field. Um, I believe one to one
Speaker 1: to Bryce and one to to Dallas. But um, you know,
Speaker 1: after he settled in and had the one interception, came
Speaker 1: back and we got the touchdown after that, and um
Speaker 1: the two point conversion, and um, I thought overall, you know,
Speaker 1: and not not too bad for the first for the
Speaker 1: first time out. You mentioned a lot of back about
Speaker 1: getting the jailing. You had j h jan as a
Speaker 1: camp now for the first times, costing all of the seasons.
Speaker 1: So his first one is twenty two yards and that's
Speaker 1: gonna be deeping your Renzil. He's seeing his progression down
Speaker 1: on this offense. Uh, with the print of the print
Speaker 1: of training camp. Now he's getting some more more and
Speaker 1: more professor. Yeah, you know, he's really really comfortable with
Speaker 1: what we're doing. And uh, you know, he's just such
Speaker 1: a tough downhill hard runner and and you know, I'm
Speaker 1: excited for him and and how he can really help
Speaker 1: us in the run game. And um, you know, we
Speaker 1: just continue to continue to work. You know, in the
Speaker 1: run game, there's a lot of timing and execution that
Speaker 1: that happens with with the guys up front and the blocking.
Speaker 1: And they did a really I thought the offensive line,
Speaker 1: the first offensive line played played well too early in
Speaker 1: this game, and um, which allowed him to make some
Speaker 1: of those runs and he you know, he he broke
Speaker 1: the one tackle, a couple of tackles actually on the
Speaker 1: one run. And uh, it just continues to get comfortable
Speaker 1: with everything that we're doing on the backs. What Kip
Speaker 1: Comfrey out? What did Josh Adwis show he was stay? Yeah,
Speaker 1: earlier in the week, Josh had a lower body Uh,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Pump Frey m had a lower body injury.
Speaker 1: So we just held him out of this game. Uh
Speaker 1: and Josh. I thought Josh did a nice job with
Speaker 1: the amount of playtime that that he got, which you
Speaker 1: know it was gonna be kind of you know, him
Speaker 1: and Pump all the running backs were really gonna get
Speaker 1: some time outside of Sprowls. But um, so it increases Josh,
Speaker 1: Josh's reps just a little bit. And I thought Josh
Speaker 1: did a nice shop. You know, it did a really
Speaker 1: good job in protection number one, um, catching the ball
Speaker 1: out of the backfield, and then obviously some of the
Speaker 1: runs you can see how big and powerful he is
Speaker 1: when he hits the edge. Has had some issues with
Speaker 1: the Snapstrup camp. Would it be comfortable with him at
Speaker 1: center regular season game right now? Well, I mean, listen,
Speaker 1: we got to continue to work, um, you know, with
Speaker 1: his snaps and all that, and it's unfortunate, you know,
Speaker 1: we had the big run and then the next thing,
Speaker 1: you know, we're we're in a you know, a negative
Speaker 1: situation after that. But we're going to continue to work.
Speaker 1: And we got a lot of confidence in Isaac Um.
Speaker 1: And you know, I have no trouble if if we
Speaker 1: had to to go in a game and and and
Speaker 1: and let him play center. I think he's he's sharp,
Speaker 1: he's talented, he's done a nice job, and all those
Speaker 1: things are fixable. As the snaps. Is it a mental
Speaker 1: thing or is it It's just it's just you know,
Speaker 1: a little bit of a focus, you know, just just
Speaker 1: focus on the snap because um, you know, when you
Speaker 1: when you're having to make calls and you know, you
Speaker 1: got a guy on your nose and different things. It's
Speaker 1: just sometimes it gets a little quick and high and
Speaker 1: we just got to continue to work. I guess as
Speaker 1: the half went on that the secondary there was some
Speaker 1: poles and that they got a couple of touchdown passes.
Speaker 1: It wasn't the first team, but that that couldn't made
Speaker 1: you happen now, I mean, you know, those are all
Speaker 1: things that that that sometimes happens when you when you're
Speaker 1: playing some young guys and just communication, you know, um
Speaker 1: just happens. You know, it's safeties and corners got to talk,
Speaker 1: and safeties and linebackers got to talk, and a couple
Speaker 1: of times we just uh got beat um. Whether it
Speaker 1: be the touchdown throws or maybe just playing a little
Speaker 1: soft in coverage, whatever it might be. Those are all
Speaker 1: things that young guys tend to do in these early
Speaker 1: early games. And until they get comfortable and playing and
Speaker 1: and uh with more reps they get they get better.
Speaker 1: I think for a second, snap just didn't seem to
Speaker 1: be an issue before. Now they are you being a
Speaker 1: former player, did you ever kind of experienced a similar
Speaker 1: thing where you didn't have an issue? And that you did?
Speaker 1: But how does that happen? You know it's it's uh,
Speaker 1: I just know this. We just got to continue to work.
Speaker 1: We just got to continue to trust him put them
Speaker 1: in there. We're going to continue to you know, Eugene
Speaker 1: is obviously a former center, and he's been working with
Speaker 1: him and and on the on the rhythm and the
Speaker 1: timing and how he's snapping the ball with his hand
Speaker 1: and instead of his wrist, and there's all kinds of things,
Speaker 1: you know, technical thing you you can work on that
Speaker 1: that We're going to continue to do that with him,
Speaker 1: and uh and get it fixed. Your first game with
Speaker 1: Mike row is the offensive ward enter. How's the communication
Speaker 1: that it was really good? Really good on the sideline? Um,
Speaker 1: you know, um, he and I, uh just we we
Speaker 1: collaborated during the game. Uh. You know, he was constantly
Speaker 1: throwing ideas and and and no cards with plays on it.
Speaker 1: You know my direction and you know runs and passes
Speaker 1: and and and that's you know, that's what I need
Speaker 1: as a play caller. You getting these games like this
Speaker 1: and and uh, you know, you just want those ideas
Speaker 1: because my mind goes one way and his goes another.
Speaker 1: But you know, we come together and and and but
Speaker 1: I thought the communication was really good tonight as far
Speaker 1: as both starting units. To take away from them, considering
Speaker 1: your offensive lacked a little a lot of your key
Speaker 1: players there offensive at the players, Yeah, I mean obviously
Speaker 1: everything starts up front, so I focus on the D
Speaker 1: line the O line, and I thought both those units
Speaker 1: played extremely well. Um. Yeah, we don't have all the pieces,
Speaker 1: you know, obviously offensively tonight, but I thought that, you know, overall, Um,
Speaker 1: you know, once Nate settled down and we were able
Speaker 1: to you know, go down, we get the we get
Speaker 1: the touchdown, and um, we do some good things in
Speaker 1: a run game, and you know, and those are things
Speaker 1: that that that are gonna gonna come. You know, it's
Speaker 1: just a lot of pieces are moving around. You're you're
Speaker 1: still evaluating players. Um but uh, you know, I think
Speaker 1: you can take away that that both uh outline and
Speaker 1: D line really did really did well. You know, well,
Speaker 1: I think Gary got to start at the spot. What
Speaker 1: you see, I'll tell he's he's a player that's extremely
Speaker 1: uh smart. He really can play all three positions. I
Speaker 1: mean he's he's versatile that way, and and uh he's
Speaker 1: earned it, he's earned to get in there with the
Speaker 1: starting rotation. And um, you know, he's just adding some depth,
Speaker 1: valuable depth for us, and we'll continue to work him
Speaker 1: in there. Uh can move also, you know, was another
Speaker 1: one in there at that position. So he's done a
Speaker 1: really good job. He's off to a good camp and
Speaker 1: and we just got to see more and more of him.
Speaker 1: How about the special teams they see every time there
Speaker 1: was a flag, I mean yeah, I mean those are
Speaker 1: all Listen, you know how these games go. Um, sometimes
Speaker 1: that's that's where a lot of the penalties come from
Speaker 1: as engineer specialties. Listen, we just got to continue to
Speaker 1: one watch the film, make the corrections there. Um, you're
Speaker 1: playing a ton of guys. But again, that's no excuse
Speaker 1: for for the penalties. It's it's all about uh, you know,
Speaker 1: focused detail, moving your feet and uh we just get
Speaker 1: we just gotta you know, just kind of get back
Speaker 1: to work and and uh make the corrections, fix it,
Speaker 1: show the guys that the the you know, the air
Speaker 1: on the penalty, and and and try to try to
Speaker 1: eliminate it for next week. Wow. Um, you know, I thought, overall,
Speaker 1: a pretty pretty decent job, you know, for the first
Speaker 1: for the first time you had to of course, the
Speaker 1: was it eighty yards eighty one yard punt that was
Speaker 1: extremely high and far and and that's what he can do.
Speaker 1: He's got a lot of leg talent, and uh, you know,
Speaker 1: we just continue to work and and and work with
Speaker 1: him and um but I thought overall did a nice
Speaker 1: job for his first time out. Better play as the
Speaker 1: MNA
