 Yeah, Coach, just in the overall comments of how team fought and scoring at the end of the half and then you gave it to us. How important had it just been for you? It's so important to us, something we try to work all the time. You know, you've got to win situational football in this league. And I was proud of the way the guys competed. We have plenty of things we've got to clean up. But these guys kept fighting no matter what group was in there. That's what you wanted to see. We want to build a program that value's winning. No matter when we get a chance to go compete, whether it's pre-season, regular season. And you know, we have the perspective, you know, nobody's handing out t-shirts and hats because you win a pre-season game, but you like to see that competitive in progress. And then we got to get back to work on Sunday. Yeah, I thought Marcus came out and he was sharp. He really operated, I thought, at a high level. And that was good to see to take a drive, go all the way down the field and score, you know, match theirs. And then I was proud of Desmond. He came in there and you want to see these guys out of the handle adversity. It wasn't perfect. A lot to learn from, but he kept swinging. And, you know, had some plays, you know, we got caught a break there on one with the penalty. And then, you know, he had a couple of drops, but he didn't, that's what I like about him. I like his mindset and he just found a way to make a play at the end. Yeah, yeah, they were huge, you know, the difference in the game, you know, be able to get those turnovers and get points off turnovers. So, you know, to create sudden change and to be able to reward the defense to put points on the board. No, I mean, like all our guys, we left a couple of guys home. We'll see, you know, it's to give you some kind of snap judgment. You know, we'll see, but I, like all these guys, we'll find out more tomorrow. The first defensive drive. Yeah, we had a miscommunication on a pressure and dropped a player. And, you know, we got to work that out. You know, I thought we came out pretty physical, stopped the run. But, you know, we have a miscommunication and handed them a big play. And then, you know, it didn't like the fact that we didn't get them off the field, but we'll be a lot to coach off of from there. Yeah, I mean, yeah, I mean, the ones that, you had some penalties of aggression, you know, in the fourth quarter, some of those young guys got to communicate better in the too many in the huddle. We're able to overcome it, but that's the stuff, the pre-snap stuff that you can really control. We weren't too bad for pre-season one. Yeah, it is. You know, the guys that flashed, I thought some of these young guys tackled well. I mean, yeah, we'll go with it. It was good. I mean, there's some things that you got to correct and some things that I had to get them on the sideline about that you may not be able to see from the stands, you know, the way the call went in or whatever, but for his first performance out there, I thought it was pretty solid. I know. And, you know, you like to have guys that you got to pull back because we talked about it. You're in a pre-season, wanted to get out, get a good drive going, but he can't help himself. We had a lot of guys like that. So you want to have guys that you got to pull back, not the guys you got to push to make a call. How many of those runs were designed? None of them. We didn't have any design runs. We have plays that will continue to evolve there, but it's a pre-season. We're not going to show our hand on a lot of other stuff, but when you have half out of quarterbacks and you're able to move the pocket, they're going to be able to extend plays. Well, we're going to play them a quarter. And we went down to Matt's, we had a pretty long drive and that was the plan. Well, I mean, we didn't get into some of the other situations. Do you remember your fantasy team or something today? Hey, hey, hey. I mean, we had plenty of plays for him. We kept moving, didn't feel like I needed to call him. We'll see. Marcus? Yeah. I mean, he's going to put on the line. I mean, there's some things you're going to want him to get down and slide, but he did a nice job. I mean, he's a, another player that's got a lot of speed. You got to defend from Saddam and Salam. Bernie? Jared Bernhardt. Bernhardt, Bernie. Yeah, Bernie. Yeah. I mean, Bernhardt, he's got it. What's that? Cross guy. Cross guy. And he was also one of the national championship at Ferris State last year. He got recruited to be an option quarterback by the service academies, too. Good athlete, competitor, he's so hard on himself, I was joking. He walked up at the end when I was sitting there and he was upset that he told me he didn't run a good route. I said, Bernie, it doesn't matter, man. Just compete through the down and he came up with play. Tyler's tough, tough kid. Absolutely. That's why we drafted him. That's the stuff we value. I mean, you don't just magically happen on game. That's the way we train. And if you come out to run our practice, you'll see that these guys compete at practice. And it's good to see it show up. We know we've got a lot of work. It's a preseason game. But I like this team. I'm thankful every day I get to coach this team. We weren't going to make everybody watch a tie. Like I said, I mean, we wanted to win. But I don't think Joe Gibbs and Tony Dungey went to the Hall of Fame on the preseason record. So you play the situation and we weren't going to do that. Professional in the books, how do you feel? I felt good. Obviously, we could have went out there and executed a little bit better. Some of the players wish we could have had back. Couple drops, couple misreads. So really just excited to get back tomorrow and Sunday and get back to work. On the positive side of execution had to be the two minutes at the end of the first half and at the end of the game. What do you like from those scenarios? Just being able to get points on the board. Whatever way, whether it was a field goal in the first half or obviously the touchdown right there at the end of the game. But obviously, when you start a two minute drive one, just taking care of the ball, not taking sacks, not having any dumb plays. But then two, like we said, put points on the board. And that's obviously what we wanted to do and that's what we did. So like you said, that's a positive. 59 plus eight, what are you trying to do? Yeah, it was a cover one man, one high safety. And we had a fade on the back side. So I was looking at that and he kind of got beat up off the line. So I kind of progressed off of it and came back and felt an edge. So I just kind of rolled out to the right, fourth down, fourth to nine, I think it was, fourth to 10. But at that point, you've got to give someone a chance. And I saw it was a one on one matchup. Gave my guy Bernard Jarrett a chance. And he obviously came down with a huge play for us. How influential has Marcus had in your development and what is the relationship you guys have? We have a great relationship. He's like a big brother to me. But anytime I need something, whether that's at practice, whether that's off the field, he's right there for me to go ask him anything that I need. I think he takes pride in seeing me go out there and do well as well, because it's just like a sense of pride for him just being able to see that he's helped me get to where I'm at, too. What does it like being? Yeah, I'm definitely blessed. Because to have a guy like Marcus, who is one of the most humble people I know, and for him to have all this experience in the league and for him to be able to just share with me and not holding anything back and not care about the situation that we're in, it's just a blessed and humbling experience. 59 rushing yards in this game on six carries, so almost 10 yards per carry. How are you able to be so effective with your feet? Really just letting it come to me. Once the holes opened up, it was all in the pass game. Just really seeing the holes open up and just taking off, just trusting my feet, trusting my reads, and just getting it done. That's part of my game. Want to go back to that first touchdown also. You threw it to Parker, and that was just, I think, two plays after he had. What maybe was a drop in the end zone? Was that something you did? Was that something they wanted to do to kind of go right back to him? No, that was a play that we had been working on. We had liked the scheme of it and how it worked. I went up and told Parker after we scored, I said, hey, let's just get it done on the first try, so we don't have to come back and give it a second go. But no, he had a great route there. And then I just gave him a ball, he could catch it, only he could catch it, and he came down with it. What's the biggest thing you're going to take forward from this game back to Floury Branch and into the next pre-season game? I think the biggest thing for me is that, obviously we were on the positive side of this game, but you're never out of it. On the flip side, they're never out of it either. So just being locked in until that clock hits zero, me and Coach Rags are sitting there going through, even when they got 10 seconds left on the clock in the fourth quarter, we're sitting there thinking about what they should do for when a situation arises for us, and that happens. So just being able to take every single moment of the game in to learn from it and become better, I think it's going to be very beneficial. The pre-season games are obviously about learning. Linda, we're all out there and we're all fighting. Everyone wants to be here, everyone wants to make the team, be on this roster, but more importantly, everyone was willing to fight with one another. A big thing that we're trying to get in our locker is just the brotherhood and what we do for each other and how we go about our day. And I think you see it out there. There's no selfish guys out there doing their own thing, running their own plays, whatever it may be. But everyone, all 11 guys on the field that once I'm working together to achieve a goal. Oh, I did it. You did, really, to me, show the level of physicality which this team wants to perform at. That was something that Arthur talked about. Is that something that you see from this offense is that y'all are playing with a certain level of physicality? Yeah, for sure. We knew that coming into Detroit, Detroit is a tough, gritty city, and we know that's what Coach Campbell prides. The Lions on it is being tough and being physical. And so Coach, in our pre-game speech at the hotel, he told us that. So we're gonna have to come out here and out of the physical room because that's what they pride themselves on. So I felt like we did a great job of that today. Like I said earlier, I feel like we have a lot of room to improve on, both on the physical and mental aspect of the game. But again, we're gonna get back to it tomorrow and Sunday and come back next week in New York. All right, here with Falcons running back Kajri Allison and the running game had to feel pretty good today. How do you feel out there and how do you feel the running game did as a whole? It felt great. I feel like the offensive line really controlled the line of scrimmage today. That's something that we've really been harping on and pressing on here throughout camp is moving the line of scrimmage and controlling the line of scrimmage. And those guys did a great job. And it was just great to get out there and have some fun. I know you play behind a number of different offensive linemen and different combinations, but what were you seeing in front of you as those blocks were developing? There was lanes. There was lanes to run. Those guys did a great job creating lanes for me to run. And just effort, man. There's a ton of effort out there. Those guys are grinding all the way to the whistle. So you gotta always appreciate those guys and the trenches. Obviously a lot of folks are gonna be talking about the quarterbacks. What did you see out of Marcus and we got a long look at Desmond as well. What did you see? Absolutely. I think the one thing that you've seen from both of them is how dynamic they are. They can take off with their legs and they can also throw the ball as well. So, you know, there's a lot to our offense. You know, you gotta guard, you know, we got so many different pieces and you know, got the run game and then you gotta worry about the quarterback run as well. So, you know, having those two guys that are mobile and able to throw the ball helps our offense a lot. We hear so much from Coach Smith about situational football. You guys score in the two minute at the end of the first half, you score at the end. I see the smile on your face. I mean, how good is that to see? It's great because that's what you practice. We practice it every day. Those situations going through two minute end of game and that's what, and Coach Smith, you know, he talks about it a lot. Those were the games are won. You know, I'm not sure I'm a specific percentage, but a lot of NFL games come down to one possession, last possession. So, winning those close games and winning those, you know, those last possession games is important. Last thing for me, Kadri. Biggest positive takeaway from this one and the biggest, all right, here's something I can circle that we can work on. I think the biggest positive is, you know, I feel like I ran hard, you know, and brought some physicality to the game. And then the next step is how can I make those, you know, those runs I had, turn them into bigger runs, you know, I want to break for 40, 50 yard runs. So just working on that still. Falcon's running back. Yeah, no, it was, you know, Coach Smith talked about coming up here and, you know, coming out here with a win. And, you know, me and the younger guys, we had talked about, you know, hey, we're gonna go, we're gonna go and win this thing. That's why we came up here. So, you know, it's happy to come out with a win. Like you had home field advantage playing in Michigan last year? Um, I don't know. Pull up the road. Yeah, no, no, happy to be back in Michigan on obviously the other side, but, you know, it's just happy to come out with a win. Quite a first professional football game though. I mean, what was that memory gonna be like? Are you keeping the game ball? Do you already have it like a spot in the house earmarked for it? No spot in the house. I think one of the equipment guys, I think Joey may have snagged it for me. All right, here with tight end Parker Hesse, first of all, take me through that touchdown play. Yeah, I mean, you know, just kind of like something skimmed up on the goal line and leaking out. Dez just floated it out there, did a great job. And, you know, I knew after the one I dropped three plays before I had to go get that one. There's no space, yeah. All right, well you brought it up so I can ask you about how good was it if you have a drop and then two plays later they come right back to you and you're able to come through. Yeah, I mean, that's something we talk about a lot here. You know, not everything's gonna go your way out there. You know, sometimes you're gonna fail, you're gonna get beat, but you can't let that affect you and carry over. So, you know, like I said, I'm obviously very upset about dropping that one, but I knew, you know, if I got another opportunity I gotta go make a count. Desmond said, he kind of came to you in the huddle and said, all right, let's just do a one play and this thing. What do you remember from that? I was kind of tired, I don't remember saying that. Fair enough. But yeah, like I said, we pieced a nice drive together there. We were moving the ball, coming up with plays. So yeah, you gotta finish with seven there. We can't come away with three and that's what we did. What do you see out of these two quarterbacks? Marcus and Desmond getting a lot of run out there. Yeah, I mean, obviously, they're very talented guys and both, you know, leaders too. That's one thing that's nice going into huddle with both of them is, you know, you feel like, hey, we're in here, we're gonna move the ball as an offense. So I think it's a great testament to them and I really like playing with them. Biggest thing you're gonna take forward from this back to Flowery Branch and into the next game. Yeah, I mean, just the things that we gotta improve on. I mean, obviously, there's good things out there today, great way to finish the game. But there's a lot of things that we gotta get better at as we continue to ramp up through this preseason and into the regular season. So that's gonna be the focus going forward next week.
