With all the comings and goings and just not having the whole offense out there through the entire training campel from the beginning, I thought, you know, there's some things that we could all probably do a little bit better at. Just myself included just the live speed and having everybody in together, tied together with everything, shifts, motions, operation, going against man coverage, finding ways to get open and being
on time. Like there's just that that, uh, the sense of urgency that I think that we can be a little bit better with. I think we found that as the game went on, but you know, definitely feel like we could all still get better. So what did it seem? Yeah, I mean, I know, you know, Christian does a lot I think in the past game, you know, dropping back and either going to him as a first option or knowing that he's he's my last option and and there's
a really good chance that he's open. But would ap I think JP did a good job coming in and you know there were some third downs and stuff where I was able to hit him on some checkdowns and him doing the same thing Christian has done. So obviously, you know, Christian is the best you know in the league at running back and what he does. I'm not taking anything away from that, but I think JP did a good job of coming in and filling his void and doing his job to allow other guys to get
open and allow us to run our offense. So that this needs confidence product. But given you guys went through in the offseason what happened Ricky last week and had traumatic experience and you know Christian tonight, to have a convincing win like this against what we all believe is probably gonna be a good team, what does that do for the cub Yeah, I think it's good for us.
You know, we've been through a lot as a team, you know, just with signing guys, trying to get guys back, Ricky situation and and Christian and yeah, there's there's a lot that goes on. It's the NFL, you know, some crazy stuff can go on. But just our culture, our team, uh, what we stand for and how we all come together and find find ways to win in and rally around each other. We do it right here. And that's something that I stand on and firmly believe in and we
all do. So, you know, I'm very proud of the guys to be able to you know, fight through just all the adversity and stuff that we've been been going through in the last however many months. But we're just gonna keep pushing together. And how have you seen it grow in the three years that you've been with wasn't like to see him have the success that he had, Yeah, I mean just you know, coming in rookie year, trying to learn the playbook together. You know, he and I
would like meet a lot and go through everything. So he's always had that drive to to learn and knowing that, you know, we were guys that you know, I was the last pick and he was undrafted, and uh, knowing that we weren't gonna have a lot of opportunities and we had to make the most of the opportunities that we got. So he knew that and we both did. And so to see him over the last two years, you know, just push the envelope more and more every year and then get an op you know, this year
at camp and do well with it. And obviously in the first game of the season he did great with it. So really really excited for him. He's earned it. Man, He's the kind of guy that was not given to him and so to see him go out and do what he did tonight. Man, I'm so happy for him, and I know he's gonna keep pushing. He bought that chugs gun and told us about it, and it seems like it's improved as catch radious this summer. Have you
noticed that? Yeah, I think just him getting out of the backfield, reading the defense as like a quarterback does, and what Christian does really well. Uh, JP grew in that area, and then obviously just with his hands getting better, he's just smooth, soft. You know, sometimes running backs can be a little you know, bobbly on checkdowns and stuff. But he's the kind of guy now where you know, he looks things in, gets it tucked in really well,
and and then he's off and going. So that's an area that he definitely got better at, and we saw it tonight. He scored on all eight of your series after the opening three and out, And are you disappointed that he got six field goal? I didn't know that. I'm happy for Moody, but yeah, I mean it's for
us as an offense. It's like, man, we want to score touchdowns and and we're hard on ourselves about you know, Like I think it was like a third and eight or third and ten and coming up short, and it's like, man like, you know, there's areas where we want to push each other and and get a little better, and that starts with me. So but I'm glad Moody got some good work in and he uh did a great job tonight. Thanks guys,
