On the running backs and any players that flashed in the scrimmage
“Over the history of my tenure as a coordinator and head coach, our skill guys have gotten a ton of recognition for what we’ve done through the air. For us, it all starts with what we do in the run game, operating extremely efficiently and being physical at the point of attack. We’ve ran the ball extremely successfully through my tenure. I thought our offensive line did a really nice job of covering guys up at times. I don’t think we distorted the line of scrimmage the way we are capable of and have shown during some of the practices. I do like our running back room. I think Jabari Small and Tiyon Evans are playing at a really high level. I’m excited to see some young guys get the opportunity to play and to go back and watch the tape.”
On the offense showing retention of system
“You see that in ball mechanics but also in the schemes we are running. Our ability to do the right thing and play with better technique are areas we have consistently improved. Where we finished spring ball is completely different than where we started. We got better throughout the course of summer. Day 1 was better than the end of spring ball. We’ve gotten better throughout the course of training camp too.”
