1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:07,200
Speaker 1: Mike had evaluate well, I think, um, in general, offensively,

2
00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:11,560
Speaker 1: I think we've we got off to a slow start. Um,

3
00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:14,400
Speaker 1: I think all of us in that regard. But once

4
00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:17,919
Speaker 1: we kind of got our uh feet settled underneath us

5
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:20,119
Speaker 1: a little bit. Uh, guys did a good job of

6
00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:23,520
Speaker 1: protecting in the in the second quarter, protection wise, first

7
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:26,119
Speaker 1: and second quarter, in the third quarter and even in

8
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:29,000
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter there was some really good um pockets

9
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:32,680
Speaker 1: and and you know, at times we took advantage of it.

10
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:34,919
Speaker 1: Other times we had some near misses. So I think

11
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:37,760
Speaker 1: all of us, not just the offensive line, UM, you know,

12
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:41,879
Speaker 1: uh need to get off to a little better start, uh,

13
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:44,440
Speaker 1: and then and be consistent. And in the run game,

14
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:46,479
Speaker 1: I think that you know, we we had some we

15
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:49,000
Speaker 1: were just a little off early as well. UM, but

16
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:51,319
Speaker 1: as we know, it takes all of them. So but

17
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:53,880
Speaker 1: you know, we with a guy like se Kwan back

18
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 1: there in the running game, you know, you just gotta

19
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:59,639
Speaker 1: keep going, keep going, and um, stay on guys and

20
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 1: um and eventually you think that he's gonna break one

21
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 1: kind of like we saw wondering how much Ugue out

22
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:11,120
Speaker 1: being together much right totally and how much that actually

23
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:14,119
Speaker 1: accurated You're ye, well, I mean that's a fine line

24
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:18,200
Speaker 1: in you know, having excuses and just but I think

25
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 1: you have to um uh look at that a little

26
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 1: bit and be realistic. Um. But also you know, we're

27
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 1: here to win right now, and that's the most important thing.

28
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 1: I think. Obviously now having a game under our belt

29
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 1: with the eleven guys in there that we hadn't had

30
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 1: in there earlier in the preseason is going to be helpful. Um.

31
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:42,839
Speaker 1: And uh, you know, like I said, you know, hopefully

32
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 1: we'll be able to see that that improvement you know,

33
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 1: from week one to week two the game on gamey

34
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 1: flowers more help on that side, because that's something saw well.

35
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 1: I think in general, protection wise, you have to um

36
00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 1: everything ties in together. Guys have to win one on ones. Um,

37
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 1: you're gonna have times where you're gonna slide. You know,

38
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 1: you want to mix your protections up, whether or not

39
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 1: you're keeping your backs or tight ends in or free

40
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:14,080
Speaker 1: releasing them not be predictable. Uh. I think that's probably

41
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 1: the biggest thing. More so, and then um, you know

42
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 1: it's whether or not you're with a five men protection

43
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:23,800
Speaker 1: or six men protection or seven man protection. Uh. You know,

44
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:26,919
Speaker 1: to start with, guys got to know what they're doing,

45
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 1: know where their help is. UM, you got to get

46
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 1: the ball out on time. And then when we have

47
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 1: you know, backs or tight ends helping out chip in

48
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:36,639
Speaker 1: on the way out or involved in protection, then we've

49
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:38,639
Speaker 1: got to do a good job with that too. But

50
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 1: first have a great Yeah. I think I think we

51
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 1: all learned a lot about about everybody you know, UM,

52
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:51,080
Speaker 1: so uh, we just all need to be more consistent

53
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 1: in regard to UM. You know a number one, be

54
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:58,800
Speaker 1: more consistent number two, get off to a better start,

55
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 1: and that better start to I mean, we need to

56
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:02,800
Speaker 1: score fourteen points right out the game. That be great,

57
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,639
Speaker 1: but just stop eliminate the negative place. We had way

58
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 1: too many negative plays, whether or not their penalties or um,

59
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 1: you know, plays for losses early. That kind of dug

60
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:14,800
Speaker 1: us into hope. When you look at our drives, the

61
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 1: times that we didn't have that we were moving the

62
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 1: ball and then we gotta get at the endzone. Should

63
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 1: that change your offense where you have to keep that

64
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 1: extra tight end of fun um. I think every week

65
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:28,920
Speaker 1: we plan on mixing our protections, UM, whether or not

66
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 1: it's um a five man, six men or seven man protection.

67
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 1: So it's not really that I think it's you know,

68
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 1: at least so far since we've been here, it's been

69
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 1: consistent with other places I've been in regard to um

70
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 1: having a plan for for you know, different types of

71
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 1: protections in an offense. Does does the receivers do you

72
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 1: want the boll get the same amount of touches or

73
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 1: do you go with your hot horse and then he

74
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 1: gets the books. Yes to both both questions, Um, you

75
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 1: I mean, throw to the open guy, get at the ball,

76
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 1: get the ball there on time and accurately whatever. Um,

77
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 1: you know, the main thing for the quarterback is, uh,

78
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 1: make good decisions and and make them on time. And

79
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 1: then obviously the physical part there's is getting the ball

80
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:18,720
Speaker 1: there accurately. So uh, we don't want the quarterback thinking

81
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 1: about you have to throw to this guy or you're

82
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:23,599
Speaker 1: thrown too many times to this guy, you gotta throw

83
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:26,480
Speaker 1: over there. It just happens in the natural, his his

84
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:29,160
Speaker 1: progressions and his reads and you know, and then us

85
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:32,840
Speaker 1: as coaches if there's you know, obviously you're looking for

86
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:35,719
Speaker 1: things that um are good looks, and if they're not

87
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:38,159
Speaker 1: good looks, then you have to have change up looks

88
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 1: off it or that's where your quarterback is so important

89
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:42,599
Speaker 1: to make sure that he doesn't try to force them all.

90
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 1: What did you think of me? Well, again, I think

91
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 1: like the whole offense, I think there was some, um,

92
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 1: some signs of really good play. Um. I love the

93
00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:01,040
Speaker 1: way moved into pocket. Um, and U know he gets

94
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 1: the ball out fast, and we just weren't quite consistent

95
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 1: enough and we just had a couple opportunities there where Um,

96
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 1: if we hit him, um, we can get points on

97
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:13,799
Speaker 1: the board and then it might be a totally different

98
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 1: ball game. So I think he's, like everybody else, just

99
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 1: working on being more consistent. But there's a lot of

100
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:21,599
Speaker 1: good things there that, um, we want to continue to

101
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 1: build on, and then there's some other things that we

102
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 1: think we can get better. Was at four point six

103
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 1: yards of separation? Right? Could his day up in? And

104
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:34,480
Speaker 1: maybe shouldn't his day have been even bigger? And your

105
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 1: day is an offensive bigger? Should we have thrown to

106
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:39,480
Speaker 1: him more of than? Is that what you're saying him

107
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 1: when he was over? Well, we try to complete all

108
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:45,719
Speaker 1: our passes, so hopefully, UM, we'll continue to strive in

109
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:47,919
Speaker 1: that in that regard, but you know what I'm asking

110
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,920
Speaker 1: of you have a premier guy right who is against

111
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:54,679
Speaker 1: a really good defense, but he is getting really NFL

112
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:58,480
Speaker 1: wise open targets. He was portable. Yeah, that's good and

113
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,600
Speaker 1: hopefully he'll continue to do that. And again it kind

114
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 1: of goes back to, you know, an earlier question. I

115
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 1: think that you have, um, you want to be able

116
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:11,919
Speaker 1: to allow your guys to do what they do best

117
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:14,159
Speaker 1: and then get the ball to him, uh, and yet

118
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:17,800
Speaker 1: not be predictable um and not. It's a fine line

119
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:21,279
Speaker 1: in doing that and and forcing the ball to certain guys.

120
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 1: And you know, then you all of a sudden you

121
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:25,280
Speaker 1: have you know, Sequan back there as well. I mean

122
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 1: you can say, well, did you give him enough carries?

123
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 1: So it's those are all good UM questions to answer,

124
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:35,479
Speaker 1: and I think that as we move forward, will continue

125
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 1: to the biggest thing for us to do offensively is

126
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 1: make first downs and stay on the field, so then

127
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 1: you have more opportunities for everybody
