Not not not Nick. Offensively, we had six possessions, we had two interceptions, two fumbles, we had a sack safety, and we had to turnover and down. So that's an offensive performance. I was displeased with where our first offense executed. Go ahead, Yeah, you know, that's the thing is we were able to move the ball and got into some rhythm and and uh,
uh did some did some really nice things. We just didn't capitalize and finish the drive and and and that's the part we got to look at and and uh, you know, I've got to do obviously my part to to put us in situations from a play caller standpoint, so I it leans, you know, solely on me, and uh and then obviously the players have to execute you know what we what we call so disappointing the offense distance you know, it's just a preseason Um. First of all,
I'm disappointing the offense. I don't want to single out one one player, So don't put the is all on Nick. I'm disappointed in the offense. UM. And and it's not what you want obviously in the third preseason week. Um, you know, listen, it's it's one of those things where We're still keeping things very very vanilla, and we still want to evaluate and make sure you know, we're doing uh,
we got the right guys in the right spots. But uh, you know, now now we turn our attention obviously, we've got one more preseason game and then and then turn our attention to to Atlanta on Week one. However, by the defense especially, I think that the first get goal at the one and they shut it down. It's tremendous. I thought defense played outstanding. You know, they were they were they were flying around, they were making plays that
the goal line stand was was was pretty impressive. And you know, that's what you want from the defense, and kept you know, kept the offense obviously in the game, the entire the entire game. Uh, and the offense has just got to do their part, you know, and and and capitalize on on opportunities. It seems a big caveat it's that you recent five and some starters, three other
contributors there. How much different expect his offense a little well, I think it'll be different, you know, as you mentioned, um, you know, and we just got to make sure that these guys are ready to go. Obviously, you know, in a couple of weeks and and uh, we'll take a look at this film obviously evaluate the guys that played and and uh and you get them healthy and ready for par Atlanta. Um, It's it could be a lot of factors, you know. Um, it's hard to pinpoint one.
But I think, uh, you know, I think, uh, sometimes maybe you just you just you put a little bit too much pressure on yourself or you pressed to make a play or whatever it might be. Um, you know, and and and I don't know, it's it's tough. It's tough. I haven't been in those situations before. Um. Sometimes you you you feel like you need to make a play yourself when when you're struggling offensively and and and it doesn't come. So you know, we just we can't do that.
We got to stick within our uh, stick within our plan, stick within our means. And can you need to execute that position as a player, as a play, Yeah, very seldom worth a guy and he's kind of not the guy here. Do you think that that pleads into how you know, I don't know, I mean he you know, he finished the end of the season pretty well last year, and and uh, you know, we know we know who he is, and and and what we need to do
to get him ready to go. And and again we're you know, we're still pretty vanilla offensively and we haven't done any of our urpo game and you know, those are all things that that are that are part of his strengths too. And uh so, so we got to make sure that we're when we put game plans together going forward, that that that we're utilizing his strength too. You're not going to give any consideration to playing them
in the fourth preseason game, right none? I know, yeah at this point now was playing in the second hand? Um no, they you know, uh no, Now, I mean, you know, I thought about it just a touch, but I thought that'd be a great opportunity for Nate to get back out there and and and get another another good opportunity to see him and I'll see some of those twos out there. He's fine, Yeah, he's good. Of course, I'll get to get a report here in a minute and let y'all know in the the next couple of days.
But he came off and you know, he finished and he was fine. So what you've been through something like Nick has and the way lest year ended, like New Reference is there. It's part of him trying to be you know, great before we can just kind of go run the offense. Is trying to be super for VP Nick instead of just yeah, you know, I don't know. I mean, you know, I would say that you might
want to ask him, you know that question. Um. But but again, you know, we just got to make sure that that as coaches and and myself included as play callers, that that we put our guys in in in positions to be successful. And uh, you know, the past is the past, and we can't we can't rely on that. It's a new season, new team, and and uh, you know, we just got to continue to work and get better.
I was, thus, are you kissed off? And there? Are you plocalizing any disappointment in you arr trying to kind of well, I mean, you know, when you don't score and and you play the way you play on offense, it's uh and up being an offensive guy. Uh, you know, I'm not I'm not very jovial jovial in there, you know, I mean, I'm not pattent guys on the back, you know,
praise the defense. I think the defense played played lights out, played like they should, you know, and and offense just didn't do enough obviously, and and uh, you know they understand it, and I wanted to make sure they they heard it from me. And and we just move on, you know, we fix it and move on. And uh, season begins in a couple of weeks. Most of the starters obviously not going to plain that fourth season an
interesting like this doesn't linger into the regular season. Well, um, you know, the way the schedule set up now for us practice wise, we get a chance to, um, still work the starters a lot, you know, this next couple of days and and uh, you know, get them mentally and physically prepared for that for that week one opener, and you know, still still got to work, you know, still got to put in the hard work in preparation.
And uh, you know they understand that, they know that it's a veteran group, and and uh they'll they'll they'll bounce back, They'll they'll respond They've always done that. And and this is no difference. What did you see from bide Tie and what's he was working through to try to get back to that level he was playing at
last year. I mean he's you know, he's another one's battling every single snap and you know, fighting and and uh trying to do trying to work his technique and his fundamentals and and uh you know, had had a couple of plays tonight that I'm sure he'd want back. But you know, he's another one that we just got to continue to you know, build confidence in. And we know what type of player he is, and um, you know got to continue to uh you know, get him the reps and the work he needs in practice to
be to be ready to go. Isaac played four positions tonight. Would player? Um well I thought I thought he played played well. Actually, uh well, you know the tape. Evaluate the tape obviously, you know, going home and get a chance to look at it. But you know, he's one of those guys that very versatile, you know, can play all all five positions and and um smart athletic. I thought, overall, did it, did a nice job? Okay, thank you guys,
