[Music] perfect the questions for game under your Bel well it was exciting you know to get out there for the first time back home um you know it's always really exciting always the first game of the year I know our players were really excited to get out there and you know felt like we started really well um you know kind of took the first couple drives down got in good Rhythm Hit some nice shots um had some explosive plays and uh got the ball rolling a little bit and SC those uh early touchdowns pretty quickly and um you know I thought we managed the drive well and I thought we executed well which is the biggest thing and then um you know I think there's a lot of good things uh defense did a heck of a job tonight um really played unbelievable and gave us a lot of short Fields uh which uh which helped us you know um but at the same time I think we were six to six inside the Red Zone which was a positive and uh scored five of uh five touchdowns out of six uh Red Zone uh opportunities I think we scored seven on of our first 10 drives um so we did a lot of good things um but we have a lot to clean up you know uh felt like we kind of got out of rhythm at times uh especially there late in the first half and really in the second half uh kind of got out of rhythm and uh you know uh had some uh in opportune time penalties that set us back behind the chains had some uh had some drops that uh were really uh you know uh kind of kind of hurtful and um just didn't get back in Rhythm at times so overall um you know I know uh I was exciting how we started uh we just got to make sure we we maintain that same energy the first couple drives throughout the entire game BR something that you guys had a vanilla game plan tonight by by Design how do you think Jackson played with what you asked him to do I think he managed the game well you look at I think he was 17 to 25 uh and he had four drops and so um you know thought he managed it well we didn't push the ball downfield as much as we would have liked to maybe um but uh you know when you're up like that and just trying to manage and trying to play a lot of different guys and a lot of different Personnel groupings um you know to see what you have it's uh that's part of it but uh you know I thought he managed the game very well what you think about the offensive line tonight especially G after goes down with that injury yeah I mean uh you know Guy having to step up and again going and play uh you know a different position that he's he's practiced a little bit but other than what he started and um you know I thought overall again that's probably a lot like most of the team we have a lot to grow on we have a lot lot to get better at um you know but I thought you know as of right now solid you know but uh that's why we watch the tape it's hard for me to come off the field and haven't seen the game itself I I feel like it was uh 4 hours from quarter 1 to quarter four um but uh I think overall um you know those guys stepped up played a lot of different guys at a lot of different positions which was good to see you had to adjust to a lot of things tonight injuries to Faro and pmin and things like that how difficult was that to just keep adjusting and keep moving down field I think that's part of the game you know it's going to be all season long you know you're you're uh you know you're going to play a tough schedule and uh you know at different times different guys are going to have to step up and make plays when they're called upon uh whether that's uh at any position and so that's why you know um I think early in the season is important to play a lot of different guys and make sure that they especially with some of the young guys that we have in I think we have a lot of young special players and uh they need those game reps um in order to uh you know get that experience to where they they feel comfortable when they do go in there and so um again it was awesome to play a lot of different guys and uh you know I felt like a lot of guys uh you know when they got their opportunities played well um you know again little vanilla tonight um you know thought we could have done some better things thought we could have uh you know made some better opportunities um and and some and you know making sure we extended drives better um but overall again uh did accomplished what we kind of went out to accomplish tonight Seth with so much newness in this offense whether it's you or Jackson off so many different injuries and stuff is it safe to say that kind of have to be patient for this offense to make click this a very patient man myself and I don't and again I don't expect anybody else to uh at the end of the day it's our job to uh you know make sure as coaches we put the the players in the best situation to be successful and the players job is to go in there and execute and do their job uh when they're in there um in order to to help our team win and so it's a it's a two-way street and uh again we're going to continue to work and uh you know get a day better get a week better I love our group they work extremely hard um you know they've had a they've grinded through this fall Camp uh with uh and it's been a grind uh it's been a you know we put them through uh a pretty tough camp and um there's been a lot of ups and downs but I'll tell you what they're they're very uh they're very they're tough group uh they love ball they love each other uh and it's a cool group to be around so uh there's no doubt in my mind we'll continue to get a day better and continue to um you know keep moving forward and and helping this football team win games how much do you challenge that wide receiver with what they faced with losing J first and now with J L out for an extended amount of time how much you challenge those guys to really step up and be able to contribute even more especially those young players hey you have to I mean again uh it's going to happen and and we we talk about it all the time you know one one man goes down another man has to step up and make those plays and it's just not that guy coming in uh that has to do that the the offense has to the whole offense as a whole has to really step up around uh those injuries and so again again I feel good about um the guys we have the toughness we have um you know we just got to execute a little bit better at times you know I think there's a couple opportunities in there that uh we really um hurt ourselves uh that we can learn from that we have to grow from in order to uh be the team that we want to be um but uh you know I thought for the most part uh a lot of those young guys um did some really good things said you use Dion in some different ways things like that what is it about him that you know makes him suited for that what you think about just over yeah Dion's very explosive um you know and obviously very talented as a receiver um being able to get the ball in his hand quick um you know just trying to find as many different ways to get in the ball you know with an explosive guy like that it's uh always trying to find different ways along with all of all of our guys you know um just trying to find different touches and different ways to get our Playmakers the ball and I thought tonight uh we were trying to find some of those we did at times um and again Dion's playing a lot of different roles right now especially with some of the um guys that went down he's he's playing and all the different uh Personnel groupings uh tonight and so there was a lot on his plate especially game one uh in a new system um and did a lot of great things and so we got to continue to grow he has to continue to grow in his role and again uh we have to continue to grow uh in a lot of roles offensively and you know that's that's the purpose of game one trying to put as many different Personnel groupings out there as we can to see exactly um you know how we feel about each each each one one and two uh trying to get as many reps as possible for guys to stay fresh um throughout the season you you didn't throw deep much is that by Design going in or is that just try waiting for your offensive L to jail what was the rale no I thought uh we we didn't we we got pretty vanilla once our Drive started stalling at times uh we didn't get back in Rhythm uh some of that you know we're not obviously we're not going to show everything game one but at the same time I felt like we needed to be a little bit more exposive in the passing game uh and again uh some of that is the calls and some of that is the execution of the calls and so um again that's an definitely an area that we must improve on um and something that uh uh that I truly believe in I do think you have to push the ball down the field and be explosive you know I don't uh I'm not one of those guys that feels like uh you know you have to have these 14 15 play drives you know four yards a cloud of dust we have to be an explosive offense um that's something I believe in but at the same time I thought we were efficient in what we did tonight um and order you know sometimes with the short Fields you're not able to go through some of the shots some of the extended shots down the field just because of the amount of grass you have as well and so some of that plays into it but overall again um you know uh I feel like we accomplished what we needed to today for one more question you did this in the AL but now it's your offense your calling plays what was it like to be back to doing what you're doing now as coordinator it's been great I've enjoyed it again it's a it's a great staff it's a great group of men I love our players um you know again uh we have a lot of work on um but it's a tough group I'm excited about this group they come to work every single day looking to get a day better so uh but it's been a blessing to be back home and um I'm excited about the year thank you all [Music]
