“Jalen is doing some really good things. I’m really encouraged by the progress he’s made. He makes a lot of plays. I think that he had a couple of interceptions today that really weren’t his fault. I mean he threw the ball, hit the guy in the hands and pops out, and somebody intercepts it. If you look at the statistics you’ll say, ‘wow, the quarterback threw an interception or two,’ but really wasn’t his fault. You have to be careful in how you analyze and make sure you’re looking at what that individual needs to do to continue to get better. He’s got a much better command of the offense. He’s much more confident. He makes a lot better decisions because of the confidence and the knowledge and experience that he has.”

“Ty’s a young guy. He’s really conscientious, really trying to learn, but just needs to continue to get more and more opportunities in practice so that he can gain the confidence that he needs to be able to go out there and play. I’m encouraged by the progress both of those guys have made.”

Next…offensive consistency…
