ball comment few good kyle negative wrong
There is nothing wrong with punting the ball, and I have made that comment to Kyle a few times. We have a good defense. Punting the ball is not a negative play. A negative play is a sack, a fumble or an interception.
double knows middle safety side single strong weak
If we get a single safety look, he knows he's going to look to the weak side and he'll have two reads, ... If it's a double safety look with the middle open, now he's going to look to the strong side and go through his progressions one, two, three.
dig
They can dig through that film a whole lot. That is all they got on him.
clean execution overall pleased
I was pleased overall with the execution. We have things to clean up (but) I thought all that was pretty good.
expect offensive
No, you don't expect this. And it's not just from a rookie. As an offensive team, we didn't get it done today. You don't expect to go out and play like this.

The good news is we have plenty of time almost a month, before our opener,
adrian deal gone handle nickel normal ready reason
We were going to put Cedric in. The only reason we put Adrian in is because it was a nickel situation, and it was a pass-protection deal that he is (more) ready to handle right now. If it was a normal situation, Cedric would have gone in.
appreciate exactly kyle people
You look at most young quarterbacks, that's what you see. I don't think people appreciate exactly what Kyle has done.
accepted defense great guys opens running thomas watching
Thomas is running tremendously well and, obviously, that opens up a lot of other stuff. That's a great defense we went against. We were watching film all week, saying, 'What are we going to be able to do?' But our guys accepted the challenge.
careful feels knows practice smart third week
We have to be careful. Eventually, yeah, but this is his third week of practice. We've got to be smart with him. We've got to be careful that we don't try to do too much, that we do the things that he knows and feels real comfortable with.
behind fiction stand work
We stand behind the work as fiction and that it's good.
area exactly hard looking receiver slot tight type
We're looking hard at tight end, and we're looking hard at a slot receiver type of guy. That's exactly the area we're looking at right now.
