We want to maximize each guy's talents, put them in the best position based on their set of skills to help us win.

You know, there's, there's a lot we're going to assess.

There's a lot we're going to critique and correct.

There obviously is the physicality element, especially in the run game, but there's a bunch of stuff that we're going to try to, try to see, do, do well, correct.

Hat hand placement coming off the ball, how we break the huddle, alignment assignment.

There's 001 things that we can evaluate, get done now, and when the pads come on, there's, there's another, another bunch of stuff that.

Coach mentioned coach mentioned not to lose what you guys did in the OTAs and mandatory mini camp when you came to training camp today.

What did it seem like to you?

Do you feel like they all retained what you guys already have taught?

Yeah, I thought we broke the huddle very well.

There was a couple of things that we need to clean up.

There's a couple of things as coaches that we got to do a little better job in coming out.

Cleaning up, making sure that, uh, everybody's on point, um, but I thought the guys came out with an intent to practice today, but they, they ran around, um, they wanted to, they wanted to do the right stuff.

They came out and they definitely studied.

They definitely worked over the breaks.

That was, that was fun to see.

What do you think, uh, Mike.

You know, just want to see him get better every day.

He has, uh, you know , a unique set of skills and talents.

We want to maximize each guy's talents, put them in the best position based on their set of skills to help us win.

Where do you, where do you feel you've seen Fernando grow, uh, since he was back here?

Obviously, just the, the command of the offense, him being able to articulate things, how he sees it, sees it in real time, um, takes it from the, takes it from the meeting room and on the board in the film, brings it out here and be able to see the picture and then tie his footwork to that.

Malik Benson is very smooth when he gets the football in his hand.

Would you just talk about his development and what you're looking for out of him in this camp, please?

Yeah, I want to see, you know, I want to see his explosive, explosiveness come to life.

He's uh .

We're gonna want to maximize what he does, how he comes off the ball, be able to, you know, challenge him mentally, um, and do different things with him and just, just see him grasp the offense and take it from the meeting room.
