00:00Or what do you think needs to happen to unlock the wide receivers?

00:03You know, because you had a great day in the passing game.

00:06We've seen over the first couple of weeks thrown to the running backs,

00:08but the wide receivers have been really quiet

00:11and, you know, not even getting targeted for for a number of those guys.

00:14What what needs to change going forward to get those guys involved?

00:18We just we all need to help each other out.

00:19I mean, I think I can be better for them, too, and just,

00:23you know, schemes and helping them out and, you know, running

00:27getting the right depth and getting the right, you know,

00:30just executing a little bit better.

00:32I mean, I think I need to be better for them.

00:35I mean, I think they need to keep their heads up

00:38because we've got a lot of talent in there, man.

00:39And we're really going to need them.

00:41Obviously, you guys, we haven't seen a lot of targets and all that stuff,

00:45but we're going to need them.

00:47You know, we've got a lot of talent.

00:48They need to keep their heads up.

00:49We're going to need them going forward.

00:51So you mentioned the the lack of targets right there for the wide receivers

00:54in your experience and you're there, you're getting the play calls in the huddle.

00:58You know what's designed. We don't.

01:00So is that is that a lack of of calls being played for wide receivers

01:05where their primary reads is that just guys not being able to get open

01:09because the pressure on preset plays not being able to develop?

01:11Why the lack of involvement in your estimation?

01:15I'm not really sure exactly.

01:17I think it's just the way the game flowed away.

01:20And, you know, there was a lot of zone coverage yesterday.

01:23So there was a lot of maybe some voids in the middle of the field

01:27where I was able to, you know, exploit a little bit.

01:31And, you know, they're playing the deep part of the field a little more

01:33where we couldn't take as many shots.

01:36I mean, they have to you got to give them credit, too.

01:38I mean, they have two really good corners, too,

01:41and they play hard and they know the scheme really well.

01:44And they had a good day to play well.

01:47But I have a lot of faith in our group.

01:49I love competing with them.

01:51Love their mindset, love their attitude.

01:54And I'm looking forward to seeing them make a lot of plays.
