• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Operation. You know, penalties a lot less of those to
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: start out on the first couple drives, so I think
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: from that standpoint, it was a lot better. Moved the ball, well,
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: we were good on third downs, converted some of those
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: third downs, which is good to see. Protection was really good,
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: obviously besides the one fumble. That whole that whole sequence
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: was was not good. But besides that one play, to
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: be honest, it was a pretty clean day. We moved
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: the ball, stayed on schedule, I guess you could say,
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: and we're pretty efficient. You mentioned being clean souci an
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: emphasis this week. Good to see that. Yeah, good to
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: see that. You know, we made a big emphasis on
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: it this week in practice, and it was good to
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: see it carry over if the guys really owned it
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: and we were a lot sharper, you know pre snap.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: Still more work to be done. That's an every day
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: you know, focus and emphasis for us moving forward. But yeah,
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: it was definitely improvement. What was that week of practice, Well,
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: I mean it was a pretty different at least from
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: market vantage point that we see. How different was it
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: from your vantage point? And how effective I guess to
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: deliver the results today? It was good, you know, just
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: really we always harp on the details, so I wouldn't
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: say it's new in that way. You know. I think
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: this staff and everyone does a really good job of
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: stressing how important the details are, but really letting that
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: kind of drive practice. You know, if anything was if
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: anything was wrong, it was started over, you know, and
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: usually in practice you have those mistakes every every team,
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: everyone does it and you kind of correct them after.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: But you know, one of the days this week, we
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: really just started everything over when when those things happened,
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: like we were so we were looking for all that.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: The coaches did a good job of slowing it down,
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: so we slowed some of the tempo down as far
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: as post snap, but just really focusing on all the
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: pre snap stuff because you know, keep doing the same
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: thing and getting it the same results. So I thought
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: it was a good job by the staff of you know,
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: changing some stuff up, and I think it helped us
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: this week. I know it was only two series, did
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: you feel the running game sort of getting going? Definitely?
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: You know, I thought we really settled in nicely in
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: those two drives. You know, it was nice to have
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: a second drive today to kind of the after the
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: first drive. Obviously, didn't end the way we wanted it to,
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: and we could settle in and run the ball a
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: little better. On the second drive, you know, had some,
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: like I said, some third down conversions. Seeing guys make
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: plays in different situations. I think that was that was
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: fun to be a part of, To actually kind of
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: get in the feel of the game, the flow of
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: the game a little bit. It's a good step forward.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: People sort of assend Parker Washington's the fourth receiver, but
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: he plays, and I guess you seem to have a
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: rapport with him right now. Yeah, you know, I play
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: with Parker now for a few years, and he's, you know,
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: just the way the room is kind of shaken out
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: the last couple of years. He's always been in that position.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: But he just keeps making plays. So I don't, you know,
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: I don't want to put numbers on any on anybody
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: or what they are or aren't, but he keeps making
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: plays and keeps showing up, and it's gonna it's gonna
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: be tough to keep that guy off the field of
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: the way he's playing. And I've just been impressed by
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: the way he works. You know, this guy is always
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: in great shape, can play all the different positions. I
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: think that's really what you're seeing has helped him so
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: much as he can move around and so when something happens,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: you know, he can play inside and play outside a
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: lot of flexibility with him, and he just keeps growing
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: and getting better and better and smarter and understanding what
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: we're doing conceptually, and he's just really doing a good job.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: Right now. You guys are like twenty third started, where
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: you get in to halfway home. I guess if you
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: look at milestones at all about where you are at
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: as an offense halfway through? Is it just one pig
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: day for you? I mean, how do you judge it
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: and see where it's going? Yeah, I mean it's it's
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: just day by day really. I mean that's how camp
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: is is you take it one day at a time.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: You try to make that day the best day as
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: far as just focusing on the details and trying to
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: get better. You know, there's there's things that we need
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: to correct that show up at different times, and it's
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: just a constant, I guess pursuit of being perfect. You
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: know ain't never going to get there, but being perfect
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: operationally pre snap, you know, knowing your job, your assignment
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: for me as a quarterback, all my footwork reads, different
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: cans for different plays, all those things, and you can
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: never practice them enough. And so we've gotten some great
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: working in camp, really just taking it one day at
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: a time. We're at that phase now where you know,
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: joint practice this week with Miami, which will be great
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: to go against a different defense. We've been going battling
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: against our defense all the camp, so it'll be nice
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: to see something different and have to adjust and you know,
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: see how the guys respond to that, and then obviously
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: at the game in Miami, and then then we're running.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: I mean, you've got a couple of weeks after that
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: to prepare, but then it's go time. So it's getting
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: here quick. I think we've taken some big steps. But
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: this week is important for us because it's not just
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: you know, we're still kind of in that camp mindset
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: of really attacking the day, trying to get better, still
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: continue to get in shape, getting ready to play. Week one,
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: it was great, it was great. Like I said, the
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: emphasis on it this week I think made a big difference,
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: and guys really took it to heart and took the
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: coaching and we corrected a lot of that awesome thank you' all,
