Starts with S Phillip Roche incident. Calls it an unfortunate situation. They will handle it internally. There won't be a suspension, though.

A lot of sloppy football in the first week which is expected in week one. Players have responded to the challenges and have great attitudes. He's impressed how players are attacking the competition.

Cayden Green has looked good at LG. Marcus Bryant and Jayven Richardson are switching first-team reps every day.

Chris McClellan and Kristian Williams have had great camps. Sterling Webb has done well. Marquis Gracial and Jalen Marshall are competing for DT4. Seems like Gracial may be ahead.

Zion Young and Johnny Walker have elevated themselves. Darris Smith plays with great motor. Seems like the leaders for the top 3 DE spots. Zion Young had a great INT yesterday. Eddie Kelly had a fumble recovery today. Joe Moore has been sturdy and done well.

Marcus Carroll, Nate Noel and Jamal Roberts have done really well in pass protection. Marcus and Nate have had two explosive plays in the pass game. Kewan Lacy has been impressive but he's still learning the playbook. Tavorus Jones impressed in reps with the first team.

Called Joshua Manning consistent. He has found a special teams role.

Jude James is physical and makes sense as an H-back. Can see him doing a special teams role.

They like Dendy's film at safety and think he can grow at that position. Drink is impressed with both players.

Marvin Burks needs to keep being consistent but he forced a TO yesterday.

Very impressed with Drew Pyne."There's no more comp for QB2. He's been everything we've hoped."

Haven't got to kick return phase yet.

Theo Wease, LB3, Speedy Johnson, Daniel Blood, Courtney Crutchfield, and Joshua Manning are PR candidates.

Trying to figure out how to use PR as a way to get someone else a touch in the game.

Brett Norfleet has been a consistent and physical player. He anticipates him doing the role really well.

Trajen Greco, Cam Keys, Talan Chandler, and Caleb Pyfrom are players who were early enrollees who have noticeably improved during fall camp.

The extra coaching has helped. The challenge is everyone has to speak the same language. But he thinks the cohesiveness of the staff has allowed for more individual of coaching and quicker player development.

Red zone work has been good. Causes everything to happen quicker. They have a great foundation of what they want to do with it. This is one of the key things. the team wanted to work on this offseason.
