Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: I guess some good and some bad.
- 0:01Speaker 2: Obviously, start with the good, you know, how the how
- 0:04Speaker 2: the offense rebounded and was able to put the ball
- 0:08Speaker 2: in the end zone after the special teams play there.
- 0:10Speaker 2: And then uh, I think defensively to you know, coming
- 0:13Speaker 2: away with some takeaways right there. And then you know,
- 0:17Speaker 2: I think some of the young guys in the second half,
- 0:19Speaker 2: you know, the quarterback Nate, you know, did a nice
- 0:22Speaker 2: job stepping in and making some plays and and you know,
- 0:25Speaker 2: just just coming up, coming up big, you know, when
- 0:28Speaker 2: we needed those guys to to to to make plays.
- 0:31Speaker 1: So overall, a lot of things to clean up, but.
- 0:34Speaker 2: There are some positive that will take a look at
- 0:36Speaker 2: and and and build on starters.
- 0:39Speaker 3: Go out with the lead, defense allowed no points.
- 0:43Speaker 1: Good, Yeah, I mean that's that's always good.
- 0:45Speaker 2: That was kind of the goal was to get the
- 0:46Speaker 2: offense going and then and then defensively play play well
- 0:50Speaker 2: and you know, again some positives early and you know
- 0:54Speaker 2: again all things that we can build on the rest
- 0:56Speaker 2: of camps.
- 0:58Speaker 3: Pressure throughout the game with different was the defense. Four
- 1:01Speaker 3: sacks I've seen. That's a good sign coming Adams.
- 1:04Speaker 2: Always always when you can put pressure, you know, on
- 1:07Speaker 2: our on their quarterback, you know, and and I thought
- 1:11Speaker 2: that you know, some of the uh is here, you know,
- 1:14Speaker 2: stood out, had a couple of nice rushes there, you know,
- 1:18Speaker 2: even the even the first group, you know, getting getting
- 1:20Speaker 2: getting some pressure. All good things that we'll look at
- 1:22Speaker 2: on tape and uh and build on.
- 1:24Speaker 4: Devon looked like he was in the backfield almost every
- 1:27Speaker 4: play that he was in. Is that just a continuation
- 1:30Speaker 4: of what you saw last year?
- 1:31Speaker 1: And yeah, yeah, no, it's it's it's the way he's
- 1:34Speaker 1: way he's.
- 1:34Speaker 2: Uh kind of attacked the season, attacked training camp and
- 1:39Speaker 2: and you know, it's really good to see that him
- 1:41Speaker 2: that he can you know, definitely push the pocket from
- 1:45Speaker 2: from you know, the tackle spot, and and.
- 1:48Speaker 1: Uh, it's just just what we need, you know, is
- 1:50Speaker 1: what we need all all season long.
- 1:52Speaker 4: How much the fourth down early and then the going
- 1:57Speaker 4: for two was the long snapper situation or.
- 1:59Speaker 2: Be yeah or unfortunately o Ross got knocked out of
- 2:02Speaker 2: the game on that first punt on the on the
- 2:05Speaker 2: turnover and so we were we were out of a
- 2:08Speaker 2: long snapper for the rest of the game. So a
- 2:10Speaker 2: lot of fourth downs that we normally wouldn't do. And
- 2:12Speaker 2: then you know, a lot of two point conversions that
- 2:15Speaker 2: we normally wouldn't do. So you know, it was good
- 2:17Speaker 2: to see, you know, Josh stepped in and and had
- 2:20Speaker 2: two punts there punt snaps and you know was effective obviously,
- 2:23Speaker 2: and and you know, but we'll see where Ross is
- 2:26Speaker 2: at this week.
- 2:27Speaker 4: What'd you see from a tank?
- 2:30Speaker 2: Saw some good good things from him, I think once
- 2:32Speaker 2: he settled in and and really started seeing the whole
- 2:36Speaker 2: little bit better.
- 2:37Speaker 1: He had a couple of nice runs on the perimeter.
- 2:39Speaker 2: But you know, a tough, tough running back, he's he's
- 2:41Speaker 2: somebody that brings up, brings a little punch, you know,
- 2:45Speaker 2: runs behind his pads as we say, And and again,
- 2:49Speaker 2: this would be a good film for for him to watch.
- 2:51Speaker 4: Assuming highlighting the bad would be penalties.
- 2:54Speaker 2: Yeah, with thirteen penalties, I think, I mean, that's obviously
- 2:56Speaker 2: something we've talked about. I've talked about with the team,
- 2:59Speaker 2: you know, and he's pre season game, especially when you're
- 3:01Speaker 2: playing a lot of guys, things are gonna happen.
- 3:03Speaker 1: But it's something we have to we have to clean up.
- 3:05Speaker 1: You know. It's it's really a discipline thing.
- 3:08Speaker 3: Uh.
- 3:08Speaker 2: You know, it'll start with me and this week in
- 3:10Speaker 2: practice and making sure that our guys understand that, you know,
- 3:13Speaker 2: either pre snap or post snap, you know, just can't happen.
- 3:16Speaker 3: You alsay, have long runs from three different backs, it
- 3:19Speaker 3: can take a while to get the running game going.
- 3:22Speaker 3: Do you feel like you're getting good run blocking right now?
- 3:25Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's you know, obviously we look at
- 3:27Speaker 2: the tape and and you know, great it that way.
- 3:30Speaker 2: But you know, there were times I thought we could
- 3:32Speaker 2: we could we could stay a little more north and vertical.
- 3:35Speaker 2: And then there's times when the backs did a nice
- 3:37Speaker 2: job of bouncing it, uh, you know to the outside
- 3:39Speaker 2: and sometimes too. That's that's where some of your holds
- 3:41Speaker 2: and stuff come into plays when the back misses a
- 3:43Speaker 2: hole and he tries to stretch a play and the
- 3:45Speaker 2: tackle or guard is in a bad position.
- 3:48Speaker 1: You know. So those are all things we can correct
- 3:49Speaker 1: and uh and and fix.
- 3:50Speaker 2: This week, think of Nathan's this capability in general, and
- 3:54Speaker 2: especially on the touchdown point. I mean, it was it's
- 3:57Speaker 2: pretty incredible, you know, I mean I thought it, you know,
- 4:00Speaker 2: toughness and poison to pocket being able to make a
- 4:02Speaker 2: play like that and and and have a couple of
- 4:04Speaker 2: guys on him to make that throw, you know, for
- 4:07Speaker 2: the touchdown is uh, I haven't seen too many I
- 4:10Speaker 2: haven't seen too many plays like that, you know, even
- 4:12Speaker 2: even in a preseason game.
- 4:13Speaker 1: So hats off to him.
- 4:16Speaker 2: He did a nice job leading that group, you know
- 4:17Speaker 2: in the second half, and uh I was able to
- 4:20Speaker 2: was able to uh you know, put us in the
- 4:22Speaker 2: end zone. Then he had the touchdown run too, so
- 4:24Speaker 2: he had had a really good second half.
- 4:25Speaker 3: He was out pretty quick. But any thoughts on how
- 4:27Speaker 3: Ridley played first game in a.
- 4:29Speaker 2: While, very excited, He was excited to be out there,
- 4:32Speaker 2: very appreciative, you know, but for him to you know,
- 4:37Speaker 2: get a ball or two out there and and and
- 4:38Speaker 2: really catch and run and kind of kind of feel
- 4:41Speaker 2: the game again, you know, that's that's what he wants,
- 4:42Speaker 2: and that's what he we we wanted for him, and
- 4:45Speaker 2: and you know everything will continue to get better for
- 4:49Speaker 2: him and and uh uh you know, as we go
- 4:52Speaker 2: last year.
- 4:52Speaker 4: Down the stretch, you guys made a ton of plays
- 4:54Speaker 4: play making plays. Today you kind of did it again
- 4:58Speaker 4: both sides. I mean, is that what you feel? You
- 5:00Speaker 4: have a team that you can obviously make plays on.
- 5:03Speaker 2: Both sides, Well, you know you're you're gonna have to
- 5:05Speaker 2: have that at times and and you never know who's
- 5:09Speaker 2: gonna make it. You know, I stress all the time,
- 5:11Speaker 2: like you know, don't chase plays, just make them when
- 5:13Speaker 2: they come to you or.
- 5:14Speaker 1: When your numbers called. And and I think that's today.
- 5:17Speaker 2: You know what you saw from our young guys, especially
- 5:20Speaker 2: when their number was called, they they they made it.
- 5:22Speaker 2: They made a play, They executed the offense or defense
- 5:25Speaker 2: and made a play.
- 5:26Speaker 3: You know.
- 5:26Speaker 2: We had the interception late, you know, which was really
- 5:29Speaker 2: good to see. And guys were in the right spot.
- 5:31Speaker 2: So all things that we can we can build upon
- 5:34Speaker 2: as we watch this film.
- 5:37Speaker 1: All right, thanks guys,
