On quarterbacks Brian Maurer and J.T. Shrout
“First of all, Brian missed most of fall camp. He had a hamstring and he was in quarantine, so he didn’t get many reps there and that put him behind and he understands that and he’s trying to catch up. I feel like J.T. has continued to work hard. There’s just a few plays out there – and you saw one today. It’s 2nd- and-25, and first of all he didn’t send the guy in motion that he should’ve sent, and then he just makes a very poor decision. He just needs to take the check down or throw the ball away. Anything but throw the ball to the other team. 2nd-and-25 is not a very good situation to be in. If we want to continue to improve at that position, we have to keep coming to work and work a little harder and raise our level of preparation. Hopefully, these guys will work hard to continue to do that.”
