 Mike, playing the lead for all but one series, what did you like out of his game, and particularly maybe that touchdown pass to Trelin? Well, there were some things we talked about, the improving. I think the communication between him and Todd during the game, his ability to get us to the line of scrimmage efficiently, his ability to keep his eyes downfield numerous times, sliding up in the pocket. I thought the keeper was a great play to Trelin. Could easily run, kept his eyes downfield, attacked the line of scrimmage. And then the touchdown pass to be able to get something that he had a similar look on last week, trying to get a catch and run to Trelin. And so it's funny how those things sometimes resurface. Always learning, love his attitude, like all these other guys. The way the Woodside came in and finished up the game with the scoring opportunity that you guys had. How did you make that? I thought it was fantastic. I thought he was excited about going in there. He's earned a right to go in there and win. And the guys responded. He got us in the right checks. And then through a great ball to Dez, wasn't able to come down with it. And then scrambled when it opened up. So all the things that he's been working on, especially down in the red zone, when it opens up like that, he's done that in practice. So I wasn't shocked. Trelin's telling you anything by coming back in or was it not a big deal to start with? I mean, he wanted to play. You know, he wanted to play and that was exciting. You know, when I looked at him, I said, can you do your job? And you know, he was cleared and he wanted to play. And he went in there and I watched him go, try to dig out of safety and not flinch and catch pass and do all the things that we asked him to do. How much did you put to make math? There was that another example of him kind of being able to keep those eyes down field even though as he's getting out of pocket then. Yeah, and you know, we have to try to hit some more of those. We had too many drops and, but, you know, there were some real positive things. And then, you know, we talked about not going out the back of the pocket. And I don't think he did tonight once. I think he's, you know, he's realizing where you can really make some hay on those scrambles is, you know, there's some times where I'd rather I'm not cut back in 10 yards from the first down. I don't think there's anything good that can come from that. But a lot of, a lot of things that we can build on. How many did you like the hustle play that Joe Joe? Fantastic. It was unbelievable. I told Joe as he was walking off again, you know, we just have had a ton of those where we played great on first and second down inside the one or two yard line. And then just, you know, the guy made a play on third down. So fantastic job by Joe of, you know, defending every blade of grass and just saying, hey, I'm gonna try to get him down and you never know what can happen in this game. Robert, come to me and I can say you wanted to play me play a couple of snaps before the regular season, maybe it was a conversation like there. I mean, all the conversations between me and the players are gonna hopefully stay between me and the player. I think that helped him to at least get a little bit of work tonight going to the regular season. He's trying to do what's best for everybody to get him ready for the regular season. You've been in that position where you had to stop a guy like Malik, when you were able to, you know, have that streamline ability against man defense, how much stress has that really put on a defense? Well, we've just seen from so many different quarterbacks as these athletic mobile quarterbacks have continued to go through college and be successful and productive, you know, they make their way into the NFL and it's hard to defend a guy that can beat you a lot of different ways. He can beat you throwing in the pocket. He can beat you outside the pocket throwing. He can extend plays and then he can also, you know, beat you by turning up and running. So, you know, there's a lot of guys that we're going to defend like that and, you know, it's difficult. How do you define the progress he's made just as far as being able to balance when to do that and when not to do that? I think that that's just a field thing. I think, especially at that position, maybe playing where he played, being able to get away with some things. We talked about that last week, like, you know, an ability pool at wherever you were playing last year probably may not be the same ability pool on a quarterback read that you would have on Sunday. So I think he learned that lesson and then we move on. Any teaching point, Michael, on the pick that he threw, could he have done anything differently on that? I mean, I think it got, I thought it got bad, so hopefully we could throw it around in their hand or knock their hands down. Right, John, how 70 yards to the air and checks it up at the one. He looked like he had a spectacular guy. You know, we're just still working some plus 50 stuff. You know, we have to be able to, you know, reserve the right to punt and try to pin guys in, but you know, there were certainly some impressive punts. You know, that's part of just the whole, you know, whether you're backed up and you need a big ball or you got to be able to try to pin them inside the 10 yard line. So we did that a couple of times, but you know, had a couple of touchbacks as well. John talked on the telecast about Nicholas being the guy that right tackled, what did he do to set himself apart and win that? Just felt like he was the, you know, gives us the best chance right now. Mike, I know that it's not a game of sentimentality, but when you got a couple of guys on your roster who grew up rooting for this franchise, what's that mean with Theo and Nguyen Nguyen? Well, I think it's, I mean, it's probably pretty cool for them. And I think they're great people. The little bit of time that I've had to spend with both of them, you know, it's cool that they're back here. It's cool to see their families come to, well, you know, I met Theo's family and met them at practice a couple of times and was able to visit with them. You know, this is a unique thing that anybody gets to do to be a part of the national football league and to be able to do it, you know, where you grew up is probably even more special. The safety's all up to speed now that you can make decisions on those guys having gotten a lot of tape on them tonight. I mean, I think it helps. I think there's still some, you know, I mean, we have quite a bit of defense and, you know, I don't know if they're all as, at the same point that maybe Kevin and Imani are, but I think that they, you know, were able to go out there and do some good things. Hassan really show you some of that leg strength, particularly on the fourth and one. Very good run. I thought the catch was nice, you know, being able to shake off a tackle, be able to provide an outlet there for Logan, get a first down. I mean, there was a lot of good things in that drive. The, you know, Rupchitz being able to get the penalty, stay on sides, let the guy come into the neutral zone. I mean, it's second down. That's a free first down right there with the clock stopped. So there's a lot of good things in there, being able to use our cadence, where in practice maybe we fall started and hurt ourselves in that two minute drill to be able to stay on sides and get them to jump and step across. I thought was really cool. Rashad Weaver was- Where the team is right now, kind of where you expected, where you hoped this team would be two weeks before the season? I think it's close. I think injury-wise, we'll see where we're at coming out of this game, but you know, there's still a lot of things that we have yet to do and we're gonna continue to improve and be excited about the week that we have to prepare and do some things against ourselves and start looking towards, you know, the Giants. Rashad Weaver was disruptive again tonight in the pass rush. Has he shown enough in this pre-season to maybe have earned a little bit, maybe more of a role than just special teams? Yeah, we'll see when we start game planning for the regular season, but you know, Weave comes to work every single day and he's out there and he'll take as many reps as you want him to take or he can take and he's never asked gonna come off. You know, I think he just keeps getting better and I love his competitiveness. You guys know that. What's your progress that you might have made tonight, you know, from the first two pre-season games, how would you evaluate it? I think it was probably like a B minus. Probably like a B minus. It was better than the first couple pre-season games just as far as me sitting in the pocket and just, you know, trying to take what the defense giving me, even though, like we didn't convert a couple of third downs just cause they weren't giving us those third and long looks. So just checked down a couple of times and I just took off and slid for whatever we could get and add to the point. Can you take us through with that touchdown to Berks and just like what was different from last week to this week cause you had a similar look last week but you weren't able to get on the football? There was a two different plays but I just tried to replace where the pressure was coming from. They had brought the nickel from that side so I just put my eyes over there first and he popped open for I got hit. So I just trusted in them and he took it to the house and I was good. I mean too much things maybe slowed down for you since the first start in Baltimore but how much more comfortable do you feel out here now? I mean, I'm just trying to take it week by week. You know, it's preseason so you can't put too much value into that. You just gotta take these opportunities as they come and just continue to try to progress from each practice to each opportunity and get to go out there in the field. I'll pick up that to on the throat of Ricksy. Is that the kind of thing that you like to try to do now only cause it's gotta move up in the pocket keep the eyes down feeling it and you still see your receiver? Yeah, at the end of the day for as long as possible I want to remain a passer and that's what was so frustrating about the first two games. I think I wasn't remaining a passer as long as I wanted to which was not allowing people to get open downfield and just having people come up early and that's just not what we want. You had a third down conversion to Mason when the ball came out fast. I mean, do you feel like you were making progress? Is this game went on that the ball came out faster and faster? I just think I got to go out there and just have another opportunity to improve on things where I might have missed last game or I might have missed the game before that game and it's just continuing to try to take that progress and implement it where I can and those situations come around cause they're gonna forever come around. That's just what the game is. So it's just understanding, okay, I missed this protection and I didn't check the routes or I checked the routes and I missed the protection and I looked to the wrong side or just understanding this next level and being able to put myself in a position to be successful. What did you take away from Logan sitting over there for three hours and then coming out and winning the game? That was tough. I was hyped for him. I was turned tough. I was probably his biggest fan at that moment. He had me super excited. That's my dog there, so I was just turned for him, man. Malik, what have you maybe learned about training since you've been teammates with them and how good it was to see him come back in the game and score? Man, he worked his butt off, man and no matter what people say, bro, he come every day to work, bro, and he just continuing to try to progress just like I am. He continuing to go at it. If he messes up, it's whatever, just go learn from it and keep going and he's just gonna make plays whenever you give him the ball. So I'm excited for him. You pick up that blitz on the one place, step up through the line through the agap and just kind of see open field, right? Now you know your speed, your athleticism. Does that excite you when you just kind of see green grass in a lot of room to run? I mean, yeah, especially when it's man coverage, everybody's back turn and I was tired, though. So I should have scored, but I was tired. I got to get in better shape. Coach's gonna rip me on that one. That's one of our keys, our team keys right there. Condition in mindset. Malik, on the touchdown pass to trailing, you had a defender coming at you and looking at the replays, it kind of looks like you did the side arm action. When you're doing that, is it just instinctive? Do you think I'm trying to thread it around a guy or are you just letting it go? I'm just playing football using the ability God gave me. I ain't really thinking about it. Yeah, on the pink Malik, is there anything it could learn from the interception or is that just kind of a fluke, I think it's ticked like that? Yeah, it just kind of got tipped. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be like sarcastic or anything. I didn't want to come off as sarcastic. No, it just got tipped. That's just what it is. I ain't six-five, six-six, you know what I mean? It's gonna happen sometime.
