 That goes yesterday just we were talking a lot about the communications Can you you know for the people kind of know what we're talking about there? But how important is that communication getting to the line on time and you know being able to see things and maybe Change things up you have to for mark for a measurement. Yeah, yeah, it's it's It's a huge part of the job of to operate a quarterback You know, there's obviously some things we all got a clean up in the passing game, but He operated really well, you know, even the times where it got loud when you're seeing rookies and He was able to get us to get a set, you know, even use some of the hurry-up counts It didn't rattle. Now. There's some other things. You know, I'm absolutely we'll continue to work on them But we can we can help and he'll continue to improve on but for that part delayed. I thought he did a nice job You know Yeah, you know We had a lot of confidence going into there and in a lot of that I would say the way he did operate now There were some things early. It's just natural You know the first time he'd been in a pocket, you know in a couple months and it's a good veteran defense and the way they play aggressive You know, he I thought early on like I said Yes, I have the game and he was a little amped up and you could see it the way, you know Quickly he was moving and once he settled down. I thought he did a nice job You know, especially in some critical downs Converting third down converting fourth down But there's other things we'll continue to work on that. You know, he saw for the first time and You know, big big part of it as young players not to repeat the same mistakes Into the game, how did he flow on his progressions and so forth? Yeah, I thought he did a nice job there You know some of the stuff they make it in New Orleans, you know, that's said it's a well-built defense. They They're gonna make you earn it and with that front and the way that they cover and they're aggressive a lot of press So guys working to get open and other things, you know moving the pocket I thought, you know, he progressed pretty well As always there's things we got to clean up, but the moment wasn't too big for him You know even coming back off third down and then getting to the fourth down able to hang in there there was no He had poison. I said we all know what happened after that, but so there were some signs of encouragement there You know Desmond coming up to amp the emotions and everything he talked about that too after that first maybe second drive Did you have to go over and say anything to him to kind of settle him in or was he able to do that on his own? Well, it's a it's a team effort, you know as your That coach play call or the communication we have them upstairs as you're going between series I mean, there's a lot of communication goes on and and Dave down there on the sideline with him and Dave does a nice job You know, there's a couple times and make pop over there talk to the quarterback for a second And but there's a lot of communication as we stream on it You know, he knew and Dave did a good job and they talked through it settle down And then as a play caller, you try to you know, try to set them down with the screen just to get one to go through the hoop And I thought, you know, we did, you know, he got in there and then we were able to convert to third down That's natural, but Yeah, there's a lot of things to work on but there was some encouraging signs as well One of the major differences between the college game and the program is in the pocket How did you feel like, you know, you've talked about this is the first time he's doesn't spend a pocket since August How did you evaluate kind of that part of the game? Well, you know, we talked about he certainly settled down, you know, you get a feel for it I mean, there's just different. I mean those things collapse quicker the guys that rush in this league and The amount of time sometimes that's not knock on the colleges in natural flow I mean, you look at that front around New Orleans are really most weeks Said people have a great challenge Saturday in Baltimore, but it's a timing of it You know, the people at their at their feet sometimes I mean, they have like five Mississippi to throw in college and there's access and whatnot. So Especially there's a huge talent disparity. So I think that's That plays a factor into but I thought he has a natural feel and a lot of it's a credit to our line I thought our line played really well yesterday Certainly in the run game, but I thought we had some good good pockets not only in drop-back, but in our play-action game and We just got to make sure we continue to make progress in the passing game because we need more production We need more points in terms of when he ran Did you like those choices when he chose to get out try to do things with his legs? Yeah I mean some of those I mean there's a by design. I mean, I think, you know What you don't want to do is just you know make a guy's just sitting right in the same spot You know, they can make it hard on especially a young guy, but you're able to run the ball like that and you can change the launch points Certainly You've got it. You'll take a six seven yard game, you know, it's got All day, you know, but but that's what you saw as athleticism That's why he fits if you want to be this kind of offense that can play in misdirection and run You know the movement passes in different play actions, you know, even the stuff the little things Where some young quarterbacks they struggle when they turn their back to him most of these guys have grown up now playing in the shotgun But they're there, you know the way the high school offenses and then even the 7-7 they don't have a lot of experience Turning their back and he's not back around that changed but where I saw was encouraging did it a few times He hit Drake on a one crossing route Ripped his head around. He was actually hot stayed in there, you know little things like that that were signs of encouragement Yeah, it's gonna be he'll be out so Actually telling David on the way down here one of the most unusual things I've seen you know, he injures Achilles The second play he didn't go down Stayed in there and I don't know how the hell he did it to be honest And he went in there and played a snap actually made a block and pass protection and then he dropped off the field So I was asking this morning. I said, I don't think I've ever seen that He said well, I knew you wanted to go no huddle early, and I didn't want to come out I'm like you were injured or so you could have gone down. I get I don't know how the hell he did it You know, it's I feel awful for him. He's a great Great person a guy we've had in our program, and you know, I know he'll attack the rehab But I do want to put that I don't know how the hell he did it You're gonna have need to have surgery Achilles. I don't know the exact medical term I don't want to say something wrong or what not but Again, I don't know how you would have done that Opportunities early on and he became a pretty productive runner for you guys You know like to see him go kind of practice squad being cut and then emerge You know like what was it that you saw that kind of allowed him to take advantage of his opportunities That's kind of poorly worried, but yeah, I meant a lot of progress, you know coming in here and You know learning that the expectations of you know, what we expect for guys in the program and Nothing for Caleb in his life. It's come easy. You know, he's a guy that's all I know how to do is work and Works extremely hard Persistence, you know all those things that you look for those qualities that that we value Caleb's got him, you know, and it's a credit to him and how you stay with it. He's approved a lot as a player and I'm sure he'll attack this rehab same way Yeah, I mean he was in here today. He's obviously That was a If you guys have seen that video David showed me the video of it first time I saw it seen it this morning Obviously, we'll continue to monitor him and we'll see how the week goes Just glad he's all right On the running backs Tyler L. Geer just seems to get better as the season goes on and for a rookie who's been through You know all the combine stuff that your house. Do you see a stuff? How do you? Describe what he's how he's been able to do that I think Tyler's credit I mean we were excited about about him coming out of BYU really smart player instinctual a lot of things you saw on the tape at BYU I've translated his heart. He's hard guy to bring down. He's a tough runner. He's got instinct You know not having to take every single carrier early on, you know, you're splitting it You know whether it was CP early or even Caleb and I think that helps too As you can spread out the carries Our guys not sitting there at 300 carries right now certainly can help any player and let alone a rookie But he was very productive yesterday and he has been BJ Taylor option for y'all the practice go out running back Yeah, I mean there's certainly you know We've actually been a little heavy with running backs because Avery does so many different things for us and CP plays multiple roles. We'll have to look at it. Do you like once we put the game plan in whether we carry an extra backup? certainly We got other guys that can move the football In the wrong game, but what is that to see how the plan is? Desmond was going to break often in the game yesterday It doesn't mean you'd like to see I'm not trying to force an error in one way or the other here But just kind of curious as to how you How you proceed with the solidaries. I think you saw you know a guy winning a lot of his matchups. So yeah, they obviously There's a chemistry there You know a few times where You know that's what happens sometimes in sports when you see it all over where guys a lot of trust in You know he went to him hell or high water There's other times where you know, he'll learn from the read and maybe say hey, I need to go here instead, but They certainly were pretty productive yesterday together They're different, you know, I mean it's a fine line. I mean, you know the guy's a progressive football player You know the one and It's the Chargers here You know he's going out Colomac is a You know, he just ripped it from him, you know a little bit different, you know as he was going there and you We worked the hell out of ball security will continue to look at it and learn from it. So a little bit different I mean another result was the same This one, you know, we obviously caught it converted the fourth down right in the middle What the tackle way it is, you know, no understanding when you're traffic There's things you can learn from them and they said I mean Well, I've see popped out and popped up and Yeah, we'll continue to work, but but in terms of mindset, you know, you He's such a competitor and you got to understand that it I'm gonna continue to call his number. We're not down on him. We have see nobody loves what happened with the result, but Drake long as we he's wired right way and we'll continue to work and learn from them Learn from those mistakes, but I got all the faith in the world When is it okay to gamble on on a deep ball like Richard saw that one. He tried to go get it. Yeah, he's misjudged it, you know, so he turned him around and As he's playing it, you know, that's a tough lesson to learn, you know, he misjudged it going under it down the back That's kind of women that's what I've never saw Going to Baltimore on Saturday is a good test for for Desmond I mean kind of when you look at these these first two weeks New Orleans short week Baltimore It's almost kind of like a child by fire for him Why do you sometimes try by fires make sense for some of these rookies to kind of just get Yeah, so you're throwing the deep end, right? Is that that's still appropriate? You know say that is that I'm gonna get me canceled by somebody Jumping in the deep end. All right, but they're not throwing them the deep end. We're asking them to jump in the deep end But in all seriousness, you know, I mean, that's what the NFL is. I mean, there's there's hard matchups every week You know, you don't have any Kimmy's on the schedule or you pay a school that you hope that Different town level, you know comes in there, but that's not the NFL. So They're all hard, but this will be another good challenge for them short week You know, we had a lot of time to repair for the Saints game and now you've got it One last day and another road environment against a playoff caliber team. That's It's played, you know, whoever's been out there last 20 some odd years They've had a good defense and we know it'll be tough. It'll be a different challenge in your own So it'll be it'll be good for us. So we need to go get a win We need to see progress and I'm confident that we will see progress But so many of these guys that we're talking about here are first-year guys right your guys were making Positive contributions. Do you feel like this young foundation is growing and getting Deeper and more stable as you continue to kind of step things up. Yeah, I mean, it's it's You know, it's frustrating when you lose. I mean, there's no moral victories. I've said that before but you can still be encouraged by the progress and We know, you know, the objective is the win and I'll never change and and So you're getting a lot of these these experiences these young guys and you can try to tell them There was an NFL in colleges. You're gonna be in these one possession games now more than ever And we've been in these we've lived in pressure situations all year and it's good for us It's good for us all now. We need to come out the other side again You know, just look at the last month and a half You know, you get to get these games you get the charter game at home and You got a double fumble to end that one The other things obviously, you know, Carolina and Chicago and then you get into the Washington You get the ball and then chances that gets tipped picked and then victory you get a chance You know, we I'm just saying they're living in these pressure moments the situations that you try to simulate a practice That you can't make up there. They're going through the first time Now we need to come out the other side and continue to work to do that and it's frustrating not to win But I'm not discouraged because of because of that Scott guys I mean, there's there's nothing more valuable than on the job training Your coach with what with Lamar's I guess I saw last week and I haven't updated what it might be back for this game But they don't look like the other quarterbacks run the same stuff Well, I mean, it's not fair to anybody Lamar's on a different level is the one guy that one was a Let's your plan him. He's one of the most exciting players to watch Talk about it any time he has a it's rare when you have a player that anytime he has a ball in his hands can score from anywhere We've seen him do it. I've seen it up close and personal when I was in Tennessee. We're some really big games with them and the 19 and 20 season He's electric football player D led so that's not a shot at anybody There's only one little more Jackson and you saw it at Louisville. He's done the same thing in the national football league. So You know, we've got to prepare for him. See what happens. I'm sure the narrative all week They'll say you're gonna play and probably won't no tool Saturday, so we got to prepare for And I've seen Young quarterbacks lean on it receiver before early to let you know got comfortable to move around Does that encourage are you just you know, is that this part of it? Well, I mean, you know a lot of it Certainly, you know Drake's been productive and he's a good good player and you know, it's a fine line I mean you develop that chemistry. I don't think you want to force it into bad looks It's like I always say that defense has to say to so sometimes a guy's double covered You know, it's a it could be a risky throwing there There's other times you want to make sure he's going through the right reads understand You know the concept of the play because we other but guys we can get the football to as well. So Yeah, to your point, you know, you've seen it before There's a there's a there's a risk award in it, but we don't want to force things into bad looks
