1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:02,400 Speaker 1: All the first ones in the books. You know, As 2 00:00:02,440 --> 00:00:05,080 Speaker 1: I mentioned before the game, it's important that we learned 3 00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:08,200 Speaker 1: about our team. In these preseason games. You certainly want 4 00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:10,280 Speaker 1: to win the game, and it's it's always the same 5 00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:11,840 Speaker 1: in the locker room. When you don't win, you you 6 00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:15,440 Speaker 1: get that that feeling, that of disappointment that you didn't 7 00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:18,640 Speaker 1: win the game. But on the flip side, there were 8 00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:22,000 Speaker 1: moments of things. Uh, there were moments. There were stretches 9 00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:24,959 Speaker 1: of this game that were positive. There were things that 10 00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:27,440 Speaker 1: we did that was positive. Running the ball, I wanted 11 00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:29,880 Speaker 1: to run the ball, especially early with Sa Kwan, to 12 00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:32,360 Speaker 1: got and get him going. I think he had some 13 00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:35,080 Speaker 1: nice runs in there. Uh. And I think throughout the game, 14 00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:36,720 Speaker 1: I think our running backs did a pretty good job. 15 00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:39,400 Speaker 1: I thought we did a good job run blocking. We 16 00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:40,839 Speaker 1: had a stretch there in the middle of the game 17 00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:42,920 Speaker 1: where we didn't get enough out of the passing game 18 00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:46,280 Speaker 1: and I was trying to throw the ball a little 19 00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:49,519 Speaker 1: bit more than the law allows with David's webbing there. Um. 20 00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:52,639 Speaker 1: I thought our run defense was good. Uh. And then 21 00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:54,840 Speaker 1: I I told the teams, you know, we're the team. 22 00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:57,160 Speaker 1: We were tight in coverage, but at times we just 23 00:00:57,200 --> 00:00:59,120 Speaker 1: didn't make enough plays, and I think that's what it 24 00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:04,399 Speaker 1: comes down to know ten ball game. So uh, but 25 00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:07,080 Speaker 1: there's a lot that we can learn from. The players 26 00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:10,039 Speaker 1: can all learn from. I think guys playing today um 27 00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:13,720 Speaker 1: got better in some ways with all the young players played. 28 00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:15,959 Speaker 1: And now we'll go back and watch the tape get 29 00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:18,840 Speaker 1: ready to play Detroit. And so with that, I'll take 30 00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:23,759 Speaker 1: your questions of quarterbacks, particularly the way Davis came in there, 31 00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:26,920 Speaker 1: the way the ball was a little hot. Yeah, I thought, 32 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,080 Speaker 1: you know, Davis gets a little amped up at times, 33 00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:31,199 Speaker 1: you know, and that's what kind of causes the ball 34 00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:33,360 Speaker 1: to sail a little bit. But he had his moments. 35 00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:38,600 Speaker 1: He has some good plays in there as well. The 36 00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:42,039 Speaker 1: first team, well I love the first run. You know, 37 00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:44,759 Speaker 1: if they could all be like that. But you could see, 38 00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:48,360 Speaker 1: you know, it wasn't too big for him. He's probably 39 00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:50,760 Speaker 1: played in front of bigger crowds at Penn State, you know, 40 00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:54,320 Speaker 1: so you know, it really wasn't too big for him, 41 00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:55,960 Speaker 1: and I think he took the next step in his 42 00:01:56,040 --> 00:02:00,360 Speaker 1: progress to get ready for the season. You want to 43 00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:03,560 Speaker 1: take from film like this, right, so I feel building 44 00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:06,280 Speaker 1: towards the season, how much how important is the film 45 00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:08,679 Speaker 1: that you're gonna see. Yeah, the film is very important. 46 00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:11,079 Speaker 1: You know. I told the fellows that, you know, we're 47 00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:13,880 Speaker 1: still in training camp. We're in training camp mode. So 48 00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:17,280 Speaker 1: we gotta look at this game just like we played 49 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:20,320 Speaker 1: a scrimmage against ourselves, correct all the little mistakes so 50 00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:22,800 Speaker 1: they don't show up again, and then just come back 51 00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:30,000 Speaker 1: and try to be better each play next week. They 52 00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:32,840 Speaker 1: just had a cross dog pressure got a little loose 53 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:35,080 Speaker 1: between the center and in the back, so the two 54 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:36,760 Speaker 1: guys in the middle belonged to the center in the 55 00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:42,120 Speaker 1: back and they got a little loose in there. Is it, 56 00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:45,440 Speaker 1: big deal? It happens all the time. Unfortunately they got 57 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:47,880 Speaker 1: us that time. Coach, you still the second half of 58 00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:50,280 Speaker 1: a little bit of hurry on? Is that something trying 59 00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:52,400 Speaker 1: to calm Davis down a little bit? All? No, I'll 60 00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:55,320 Speaker 1: use it periodically, you know, being able to go fast 61 00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:57,520 Speaker 1: sometimes it puts the defense on their heels a little bit. 62 00:02:57,560 --> 00:02:59,239 Speaker 1: And we got moving there a little bit, and then 63 00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:02,080 Speaker 1: we had a third down throw in the flat that 64 00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,160 Speaker 1: we missed on that could have kept that drive alive. 65 00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:07,320 Speaker 1: But then the good news is and again this is 66 00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:11,000 Speaker 1: something I didn't mention, but um, we gotta turnover right, 67 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:14,840 Speaker 1: So we caused the turnover on the punt and turnovers 68 00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:18,600 Speaker 1: are important, but what you do with him is extra important. 69 00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,600 Speaker 1: So we did is we got to turn over and 70 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:24,400 Speaker 1: then we punched it and scored. So that was a 71 00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:26,680 Speaker 1: good segment of the game. We just gotta build on 72 00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:33,880 Speaker 1: that as well. You just just try to settle him down. 73 00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:41,240 Speaker 1: That's all, nothing more. Yeah, like I said, he had, 74 00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:43,480 Speaker 1: he had moments out there. They were pretty good, and 75 00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:45,360 Speaker 1: so we just got to go back. He's like, he's 76 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:47,240 Speaker 1: no different than anybody else. He has to go back 77 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:50,760 Speaker 1: and clean up those plays. There were mistakes on Hope 78 00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:56,760 Speaker 1: the playoffs. He's just hum about injury or I'm gonna 79 00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:58,960 Speaker 1: be smart with his recovery coming back. And I never 80 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:02,680 Speaker 1: intended to play him in his game. I didn't reveal 81 00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:08,400 Speaker 1: that to you, but I never intended to nothing nothing. 82 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:12,760 Speaker 1: He is coming back from injury. I want to be 83 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:14,880 Speaker 1: smart with him, and I never intended to play him 84 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:18,840 Speaker 1: in this game. About for yourself, you hadn't been a 85 00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:20,720 Speaker 1: head coaching in a well, it's good to kind of 86 00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:24,680 Speaker 1: just get that. Yeah, it was. I thought the communication 87 00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:27,159 Speaker 1: was good. We really didn't have many you I don't 88 00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:29,280 Speaker 1: think we had one substitution there at the end there 89 00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:31,159 Speaker 1: on the punt, you saw that we but we were 90 00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:33,480 Speaker 1: able to hold it. We didn't panic. We got a 91 00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:36,240 Speaker 1: guy out there in time and had actually an excellent punt. 92 00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:39,840 Speaker 1: But the communication was good on the sideline. There's a 93 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:42,240 Speaker 1: few things we can clean up as coaches, but for 94 00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:46,359 Speaker 1: the most part, um our process was actually a little 95 00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:48,000 Speaker 1: better than I thought it would be for a first 96 00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:52,120 Speaker 1: game run. How much did he make something out of 97 00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:54,200 Speaker 1: nothing there? And what did you think of Howard was 98 00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:56,480 Speaker 1: blocked just he just tried to play. It was a 99 00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,120 Speaker 1: good run there was really it was well blocked and 100 00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:05,039 Speaker 1: he made a couple of nights cuts. So you talked 101 00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:07,840 Speaker 1: about the coverage that you had coverage but weren't making plays. 102 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:09,680 Speaker 1: They seem like they do a lot of back shoulder 103 00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:12,600 Speaker 1: out there. So those can be tough. Those can be 104 00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:15,760 Speaker 1: tough at times when you're impressed. Man, those those are 105 00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:18,080 Speaker 1: very you know, they hit on a few of them early. 106 00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:19,920 Speaker 1: You saw it later in the game. If they're not 107 00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:23,080 Speaker 1: if they're not thrown just perfectly, you know, they can 108 00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:25,240 Speaker 1: be incomplete or you can get a hand on. So 109 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:28,880 Speaker 1: we defended I would say we defended those balls better 110 00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:30,880 Speaker 1: at the end of the game than we did at 111 00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:33,360 Speaker 1: the beginning, So there's something to learn from. You know, 112 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,280 Speaker 1: they probably didn't see many of those in practice, and 113 00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:38,120 Speaker 1: we saw it now in the game and it's now 114 00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:42,279 Speaker 1: something that we can learn from. How would ascal defense 115 00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:47,000 Speaker 1: anybody It's hard to tell. You know, typically if you 116 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:50,320 Speaker 1: play good run defense, everybody's involved. So, you know, I thought, 117 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:51,800 Speaker 1: I thought we did a pretty good job on the 118 00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:54,560 Speaker 1: run for the most part. Um, you didn't really see 119 00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:58,120 Speaker 1: any runs spit out. A couple of scrambles, you know, 120 00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 1: we we lost contain a couple of times Mayfield where 121 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:04,160 Speaker 1: he extended drives and that's what a guy with good 122 00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,720 Speaker 1: feet can do. Um, But for the most part, I 123 00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:09,680 Speaker 1: thought the run defense was good. There were no breakdowns 124 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:13,160 Speaker 1: and coverage. There weren't guys running wide open. We just 125 00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:14,680 Speaker 1: didn't make enough plays on the ball.
