Speaker 1 (00:00):
I thought it was a lot of explosive plays. Guys
made plays, had made some contested catches that we hadn't
really been making at times. A ton of explosives on
both sides. Had the interception obviously with Jay Lou great play.
I just thought it was cool to see all groups
make a play, make some sort of a play guys.
I thought it was well executed for the most part,
(00:20):
had some fall stars, couple holds. It wasn't perfect, but
I thought it was a good start handled it. He
did have the one interception. Yeah, I thought he played
awesome big He's been something he really see that playing
the lead pitch very much, so very much. So that was,
you know, really up until tonight. You know, it was
(00:42):
like I had a little bit more just general confidence
running them, not confidence, but we were running the ball
well on offense in general kind of over the last
six practices and then tonight just to see the past
game open up a little bit more and guys get
out in space and you know, protect fairly well. So
that would definitely something that I was pleased with seeing
because it really not to say that it hasn't showed up.
(01:04):
It's just hard sometimes in those controlled settings to always
when scripted to be able to get those off. He
did like Trevor threw it. Well, you just said awesome.
You know what did you see that you really like?
I thought he was making sharp, fast decisions. The ball
was getting driven constantly. I thought he was getting driven.
He missed a few, for sure. He missed Travis down
on the goal line behind when Ben Trel made a
(01:28):
great play. But that ball's got to be out in front.
The interception is a tough one. Parker took a little
long on the route. We had an out in a
corner combination down here. Then the guy that had the
out covered fell off. He lobbed in in the back
of the end zone. Just move on progress or throw
it in the back of the end zone. But I
just thought he made good, sharp decisions. He drove the ball.
(01:48):
I thought he ran the show. Well. I thought it
was a good night for him, knicks Travis on you
guys saw it. I mean, pretty cool in space, isn't he?
So you know, I thought it was great. We got
him the work that we wanted to get with him
on offense early on, and then able to get him
on defense and get him enough reps I mean that
was what we were hoping to do tonight in terms
(02:09):
of just get him on both sides of the ball.
Quality work. I know he doesn't get much because of
the you know, the one D line was getting a
good rush, so it was a little hard to see.
But I thought when he had the ball in his
hands and he operated, he operated at a high level.
It's fat for you to get acta maybe inside here
as the head coach and the play calm confidence. I mean,
(02:29):
I thought the guys came out with with great energy.
It was great to have the fan base here tonight
and a lot of people supporting our organization tonight. And
so you know, last time I was in here was
Kentucky Clemson Bowl game. We lost in the final minute,
so it was cool. I think it's a fast track too.
I just kind of noticed that being out here. I
thought it was it did a great job with the
(02:50):
surface and I thought our guys felt fast tonight, which
I was really pleased with all the stuff. The mechanism
was freaking out. It was yeah, yeah, it was. I thought,
you know, Shane Walder and Heath far while we're out
there with me really helping with the operation, the refs.
We did like a we did a full operation pregame
(03:11):
in terms of the ref meeting with me in the
locker room going through that. That was my first one,
so that was cool. You know, we did the whole pregame.
Was it perfect? No, but it was great to just
get this, uh operation in before the first game. So
for all of us just to know where your locker is,
where's my stuff, where do I go, how do I
handle this? And the communication throughout with penalties declining accepting.
(03:35):
Not a ton of true situational ball came up that
we had to stress, although we got the two minutes,
the third downs, the red zone, some of that. So
it was a great first start. You think it'll be
a little bit easier once a game that that could
being played. Yeah, I don't think it ever be easier.
You'll have TV timeous, you know what I mean. Like
this was kind of a fast Yes, it is. This
definitely felt fast. I actually looked up at one point
(03:58):
and it felt like we were kind of going on
for a while and it looked it was like seven forty.
I was like, oh geez, like we still have a
lot more plays to go through. So it was moving
much faster as you mentioned, so I do agree, like
even for the guys are two to zero line, A
lot of those guys are on the three oerd line.
They're dying. We're trying to get them more, you know,
a little bit more arrest. Where you say those TV
(04:19):
timeouts coming, the natural stoppages of play come in, It
definitely slows it down. Whereas tonight did feel a little fast.
Did you get to spend enough time talking to Kimp
and then a defensive league when you know what I
mean calling plays on a match, Yeah, I only called
the grant Mic was cutting out, so I called the
first and second group for the first I don't know
(04:42):
six drives and then he took the rest, so I
was able to be on the defensive side of the ball,
hearing his communication with his staff, just hearing the communication
to the players. I thought they did a nice job
with the exception of that one drive. The first defense,
Uh did a pretty nice job. I thought, Hey, stopping
the run and also getting some pass rush. I thought
Jarion Jones had another a good night tonight as well.
(05:04):
But yeah, I thought their their communication and operation on
defense was clean as well. I thought I felt it,
you know, you definitely felt it. We were chipping, we
were trying to help, and you know, it was getting home.
We definitely felt it. He wasn't pressuring much either. There
was this was being played kind of like a Pro
Bowl from a scheme standpoint, specifically on defense, just trying
(05:25):
to let them go get lined up and go play.
So he was only bringing really single back or pressure.
And then in the red zone he brought the one zero.
But so we didn't you guys didn't see any of
the blitz packages or any of that stuff, which was
nice for nobody to see. How do you think the
young guys handled the first time out here under the Whites? Yeah? Good?
I mean I thought, you know, you think okay, okay,
(05:46):
I would just say okay, I think you know you
definitely saw some bright eyes in some ways. You know,
I think le Quinn Allen continues to show up in
terms of just doing the right thing all the time.
He just plays hard, he plays fast. He made a
great move in space over here, and so you know,
some of those younger guys need to get used to it.
You know, the lights do get a little bit brighter
in here for them, and so just some like breaking
(06:08):
the huddle formations that they haven't been jacking up. They
did a little bit tonight, but that's kind of to
be expected in some ways, and we'll clean this tape
up and move on. We have a better feel for
cam Little's range now maybe Oh my gosh, yeah, I mean, dude,
it's I didn't even blink. I mean, it was just like, yeah,
he's gonna hit it. Like That's how we all felt.
You guys have obviously seen it more than I have,
(06:30):
but got a ton of confidence in Cam and obviously
saw some of the you know, kickoffs, and I did
a good job with that, and you know, I thought
that the operation on special teams was as sharp as
it usually is. Anton gets some rep to at left tackle.
Was that hard to play? And are you just trying
to get them some more work? Yeah, we're just we
were trying to mix and match. With cold being out,
we got to figure out who our swing tackle is
(06:51):
going to be for the short term right now. Specific specifically,
we still have obviously competition going on at all spots,
but specifically that position. We want to make sure that
we're giving guys the opportunity to be on the right
side and the left side that's why Anton moved over there,
so that we could kind of get a good evaluation
of all those tackles being able to play on both sides,
because you don't know what's truly which side they're best at,
(07:12):
and they got to get good at both if they're
going to be our swing tackle. Ten days, little sleep,
are you? Are you on track? I think probably about
where I expected us to be in some ways. You know,
I think tonight was maybe a little bit more explosive
than I expected us to be in some ways. So
(07:35):
that was just a pleasant surprise, not surprise, but it
was just pleasant to see, you know, we have guys
that can make explosive plays and do it. It's just
tonight maybe happened a little bit more than it has.
And then really just from a physicality standpoint discipline, we
got to continue to become more disciplined as a team.
With the penalties, jumping off side, formations, alignment, assignment. That's
(07:57):
never going to stop getting critiqued, probably, but once we
get to a point where we do stop having to
worry about that, maybe we can start worrying a little
bit more on the fundamentals, techniques and kind of the craft.
If you will. It seems like Mas has kind of
come on the last couple of days. How pleased have
you been with them? Yeah, I think like you said,
it's been really the last three practices, I'd say he's
kind of taking another step. Right. He had a great
(08:19):
spring and then was just maybe a little quiet early
on in training camp. And it's not like he wasn't
doing his job, just maybe either wasn't coming his way
or you know, didn't come down with a couple one
on one ops. And tonight was just great to see
him get out in the open field because you can see,
you know, he can run. He can run. He was
coming in the middle of the field fearlessly multiple times.
(08:39):
That's kind of been consistent throughout the spring as well.
So been pleased with him. He's never really miss aligns,
he doesn't jack up formations or motions like he's just
a good pro. He's done a nice job and been
happy with him. Thank you, Thank you very much.
