 missed you last night Teresa. Yeah, now you ain't going to have all these I don't blame you. How are you? I'm good. How are you? Great looking at the film. Did Malik maybe have some more opportunities to throw than you thought during the game and and with him. How much of it is just the learning curve of timing and being decisive and just trusting what he sees? Yeah, these are great opportunities. These are these are great opportunities. We said that before we went down to Baltimore. We knew they were going to give us, you know, multiple looks and pressures. Um, and there were I mean, I think it was about as many as we, you know, saw on the sideline and just, you know, there's a fine line between, um, you know, standing in there and climbing the pocket and, you know, using some of those drills that they're working every single day and and being able to progress through. And then there's times where we're going to want them to go and and be an athlete. And so there's some things we have to to work on with our, uh, certainly the timing and what he's seeing when those throws depend on it. And then there's other times that, you know, I thought he really made some nice plays down the field and kept his eyes down the field or seeing it and believing it or what is kind of the hiccup that you're that you're seeing? Well, I mean, I think it's just the the the execution and where his eyes are and his progression, you know, being able to get off of a route when when it doesn't look good and and being able to progress through. Um, and again, this is all happening pretty quick and much quicker, um, with more consequences in the game than what it's been in practice. I mean, it's live and, you know, they're coming to get the quarterback when we drop back to throw it. And obviously, you know, we have to help them out in progression and in protection. But, you know, there were some times where, you know, things looked really good and there were some times where we can go out and practice and clean things up. Yeah, we didn't have, you know, I mean, we didn't have any issues. I think, um, I thought he did well there. I thought he was coachable. I thought he came over and understood, um, you know, what was what we're trying to get done. The feedback that I've gotten from the coaches from from Todd and Pat were positive. Thanks guys. So with Willis as far as like the athletic side of him, is it tough to because I know you want that playmaker make it 11 on 11 football, but is it tough to kind of balance that with wanting him to make plays from the pocket and play the quarterback? Tough in what stamp? I don't know what like what tough tough on me or tough on who for you as a coach. No, I mean, not no, not tough. I mean, we've talked, we went in there and talked and you know, anybody that shows up here tomorrow with a great attitude and showed a willingness to play with great effort and, you know, continue to improve. It's it's it's coaching. It's not tough. It's just showing them and saying, Hey, you know, this is there. If it's not, you know, then progress through or whatever it is for each position in the guys that, you know, may not have a great attitude or don't want to be coached or, um, you know, we don't have many guys like that. And so, you know, we'll coach them and fix it and keep working on it. We're coming up with drills to, you know, get them to climb the pocket when when guys are rushing in the edge and, you know, trust in the middle of the pocket and being able to slide. You know, we're just talking about the one where, you know, the, you know, brew gave up a little penetration and, you know, being able to slide and then climb the pocket and and find Mason. And so I don't know if he's, you know, had a play like that in practice, but it's something that they rep and that they do each day and individual, um, to being able to slide, take care of the football, move up in the pocket, you know, and get the ball out, you know, just like on the first play, I mean, we got Gracie. We have to hit Gracie, you know, I mean, Gracie does a fantastic job of getting through the traffic. Um, but then he comes back and he'll and and he made some plays and you know, that's what happens. You talked Logan was was maybe anticipating God to stay on it inside. Well, you know, Terry, you know, I mean, we have to get some help from the receiver. We can't, we can't release in there and we have to probably not go there and not try to press and throw the ball there, you know, and then Terry is, you know, receivers or we're coaching them to go and do whatever they have to do, you know, especially down there in the end zone to break up that pass. So I think there's a lot of people, um, you know, that have to be better on that particular play. Um, it starts with the decision, you know, if you if you go over there and you don't like it, um, you know, then just try to check the ball down. But, uh, you know, receiver, you know, we don't want them to release inside and then we'll just make a great decision and try to compete and do everything we can to not get that ball intercepted. You mentioned the pressure with Logan. He mentioned the pressure. I mean, if he's coming into a game for you, he's he's going to see pressure and have to sort through it and do better than that, no? Yeah, I mean, we all deal with, uh, you know, the mental side of it, you know, the mental side of, of whatever our individual situation is and, uh, you know, competing, everybody's competing for a job and we all have to process that and we have to to work through that and and one of the strengths that that Logan has had has been his command of the offense, his decisions. Um, you know, and I would anticipate that that's going to, you know, improve from from what it was, uh, last night. Do you consider back of quarterback something that's still an open competition depending on how Logan and Malik might perform? Mm-hmm. The challenge was, I guess, from a number standpoint, personnel standpoint, to get your combination on the offensive line, moving guys to different spots and how you think that group did as a whole? Well, I mean, we got off to a slow start offensively, you know, a couple three and outs and, you know, with the fumble, you know, and you look at the fumble, um, much like an interception. You know, I think that, you know, Tommy could have helped protect the guy with the ball. I think Nick Petit could have helped protect the guy with the ball and, you know, that, yes, ultimately the guy that has the ball is responsible for taking care of it, but, you know, we have to, you know, make sure that everybody's seeing this as a group effort, as a team effort, um, and they all did some, some good things and, you know, Brew was able to, you know, I thought his leadership with Ben not there or out there, I thought his leadership was something that was probably, you know, the best thing he did last night and, you know, Jamarco was in there for a little bit, Dillon was in there and, you know, Nick did some good things and, you know, some plays that they don't like to have back. Just, hey, block the guy in front of you so that you can evaluate them that way. Well, I mean, it's never just block the guy in front of you. There's always has to be some, you know, some sort of scheme and some communication, whether they're pressuring and, you know, we're going, you know, whatever way we're working. I mean, you know, once it shakes out, I guess a couple seconds into the play and you've identified who you have, you know, then it's, then it's, then it's blocking them. But I think part of the evaluation process is being able to, to sort through all the different looks and the calls that we have to make, you know, the pressure that we're getting. So I think that that's, that's also part of the evaluation is how they're able to handle that as it, you know, shakes out or as it changes throughout the, the course of the play. Mike. You played a couple special team snaps. Is that, is that somewhere you consider using him or is that a way to test him in a different way? No. I mean, we've, we've always played starters, you know, I mean, where they feel like they can help us, you know, on special teams. We know how critical that is. You know, Kevin Byrd's been a personal protector for us. Caleb was, was locked in and, and really did a nice job, got the guy into a penalty, forced him to, to run out of bounds on his own, used the technique that we're talking about, you know, 12-10. What was you taking a nap at 12-10 in the afternoon and says snooze? Snooze. It's time to wake up. We got eight minutes and 50 seconds. I won't be out here that long. So, uh, he was really into it. And, um, he knew to talk to the official. He knew what to do to get that penalty. Again, but there's more to coach there. We have to go and finish. We got to finish blocking the guy. It's only a five-yard penalty. So if the guy goes down there and tackles a returner for no gain, you know, the five yards isn't enough. So it was a good start. It was, it was, he was locked in and he wanted to be out there and wanted to help execute the technique. We just have to finish the block. That scramble that Malik had, his last play before you took him out, was that, that was kind of like the trigger where, okay, he has to come out. Yeah, it was like throw that ball or, you know, we're, you know, we were going to go on to Logan. Logan, the plan was to have Malik play the first half. Logan play the second half, wanted to take the football, like I told you, wanted to force, you know, Malik into, wanted to get this thing going and to get him out there and compete right from the get-go and see how he responded. But then after that, I'm like, okay, we put you back out there for the second half and he knows that. You know what I mean? We told him that. We said, hey, we're going to let you go out there. And, you know, we told Logan, he's going to start the, you know, Malik's going to start and, you know, we wanted him to rip it and he did it. And so I'm sure he'll rip it the next time that he has an opportunity. Even though Traylon didn't have, have a catch yesterday, how would you kind of assess the work? Inconsistent, inconsistent. I'm really, you know, and I wish that I would have an opportunity to, to talk to Traylon. You know, and I don't think this is going to be anything earth-shattering, but just being able to take the progress, some of the improvements that we saw in practice and carry them over to the game. And that, I don't think, happened enough. You know, and so, but he was, you know, just talking to Craig Aukerman and Chase and he was out there active on special teams. He wanted a block on kickoff return. He wanted to be a part of that. You know, I think there were some really positive things as far as our kickoff, our special teams units that we can build off. There were some guys that, you know, young guys that we said that they needed to be productive and show up, you know, Chig played with great effort. Hassan played well on special teams, you know what I mean, showed up and just improved on some of these young guys that maybe that wasn't their primary job in college trying to take that next step. So those are all part of the evaluation process. So we'll need to see, you know, Traylon will have to come out here and have a good week and, you know, keep having a great attitude. Richard Roberson, a ding or was it part of your plan just not to include him last night? No, I mean, I just would say that everybody that, you know, just working through something, you know, I don't think he was, I don't think it would have been fair to put him in there, you know, with where he was health-wise. Everybody that was healthy enough to play in the game, you know, played in the game. I told you that I'm proud of that and give those guys an opportunity. Sure, we'll take as many as we can get. You know, he's a big, fast guy that keeps showing up. He had, you know, had to tackle, you know, had, and he made a mistake on kickoff coverage as well, too, but, you know, had the return, had to tackle and assist. Just keep showing up. And I would say that, you know, he's going to keep earning more opportunities in both phases, offense and special teams. You mentioned a couple of other that stood out to you more or exceeded your expectations yesterday. You know, I mean, I think you just look at some of the guys that maybe, you know, have come in from the post draft. I think, you know, Julius did some good things outside of the fumble, hustled his effort on special teams, was noticeable. Dr. Gibby, his effort on special teams is going to earn him more opportunities on special teams. Chig's effort on special teams, that's what we're looking for, really, and, you know, trying to improve, obviously, in their first and their first job on offense or defense. Chris Jackson, are you going to be all right or? We're still evaluating him, and we'll see where he's at for the joint practices this week. Was there something you wanted to see out of Fulton? Well, just the preparation to go play and, you know, continue to string together. I think his best work has been most recent in training camp, as far as the practices, and wanted to try to continue that. I don't know if, you know, that wasn't necessarily the case. It wasn't terrible, but I think it were, you know, hold him to a high standard, and, but he was into it on the sidelines helping the younger guys after he was out. So, you know, just wanted to try to keep getting those guys some work. Back with that 29-yard kind of angry run. Do you like to see that from a guy to not let him earlier mistake, bother him and just go out and do it? Well, we all have to do that. You know what I mean? We all have to be able to process things and try to find ways to not be too high, not be too low to get back to center and, you know, go play. I mean, it's a long game. There's going to be plenty of mistakes. And hopefully, we can learn from them quickly and be able to recover. Imagine you were looking forward to seeing Tom. Are you disappointed? I mean, I'm focused on the Titans. Well, not what Tom's got going on. You're going to go against the Bucks, right? Defenses. I think there were some good things. They're not enough. I think I thought the D-line played about what I had seen in training camp and the practices. You know, just not enough ball disruption. We didn't do enough to affect the quarterback. Things that we think are critical to success is being able to turn the ball over. I thought we stopped the run well early, a little let down there on a run late in the game. But it was good. It was good schemes, plenty of motions, and things that we can coach from. And that's always why you play these games in the preseason. You know, I mean, I hope that we come back and we have a lot of speed tomorrow. By all accounts and the conversations that I had with all of them, that they were here just like we had asked them to be and the plan that they had and the work that they were putting in, they weren't just hanging out. They were here. Whether it was treatment or conditioning, drills, throwing the football, conditioning, lifting film. So they had a full day. We just want everybody to be working when everybody else is. What are your opportunities in game situations for other guys who don't normally do that stuff? Yeah, I mean, I would imagine like I mentioned Brew. Ben is such a strong leader up front for those guys and not having Taylor or Nate there with loud Brew to help lead those guys and help get them prepared. I noticed that, you know, and then just different guys on defense of trying to get everybody going. And I kind of like it. You know, I mean, I suppose they're like taking some guys that, you know, we weren't going to play or we knew they weren't going to play in the game. You know, focused on the guys that were and try to put everything that we had into them and getting them ready and trying to see improvement from them. Thanks guys.
