00:00 >> Have to be disappointed in the number of penalties, 12 for 127 to start the
00:04 preseason for you guys.
00:05 >> Yeah, that's a big thing.
00:06 Penalties, we talked about in practice, we only had 12 drives, so
00:09 you get 12 penalties.
00:11 That kind of negates everything.
00:12 Gotta be better at that and more disciplined.
00:14 >> Can you comment on what you saw from Baker Mayfield tonight?
00:17 >> He was composed, he did a good job running the offense.
00:20 He made the plays he was supposed to make.
00:22 I'm satisfied.
00:23 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:25 >> Todd, it seems like Spikettiki's been given that right tackle job without much
00:30 competition.
00:31 What have you seen from him that makes you feel like he's up for the job?
00:34 >> There's been competition.
00:36 He's had a good camp.
00:37 He's solid, he's played it in college, he understands the position,
00:40 he knows how to play the position.
00:43 We gotta cut down on penalties.
00:44 I'll look at the tape and see how he did.
00:45 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:49 >> Todd, what led you to start so many backups and
00:53 rest so many starters in this first preseason game?
00:56 You only have three opportunities with the preseason getting cut.
00:59 >> I think a lot of reps in practice and
01:02 that's a lot of guys we wanted to see live action and
01:05 make decisions on the young guys in practice.
01:07 The old guys, you know what they can do, what the guys would experience.
01:10 So we wanted to see a lot of the young guys tonight.
01:12 >> Todd, with enough guys not playing tonight,
01:14 did you feel like it was a fair situation to evaluate the two quarterbacks,
01:18 as you saw?
01:19 >> Yeah, they both played with the same offensive line.
01:21 So you evaluate them accordingly.
01:23 I thought Kyle made some good throws as well.
01:25 He commanded the offense just the same.
01:27 >> Yeah, not great.
01:28 >> They both had the same type of play.
01:31 They both had the same guys in there, receivers and offensive line wise.
01:34 So we'll continue that next week.
01:36 >> How would you assess Kyle's performance tonight?
01:39 >> You gotta watch the tape.
01:40 I gotta watch the tape.
01:41 I know he threw the pick, but I know he made some good throws as well.
01:44 It's just commanding the offense.
01:45 So we'll watch the tape and we'll make our decisions.
01:48 >> Todd, there's been a big emphasis on getting the running game going.
01:51 So you have a little bit more balance on offense.
01:53 66 yards tonight and it really seemed to stall for the first quarter.
01:57 Just your assessment of the running game.
02:00 >> Again, we got some good runs and the penalties held us back.
02:03 You can't run the ball if you get holding calls and
02:05 you get first and 20 all the time.
02:07 So that has a lot to do with it as well.
02:09 I thought we were consistent with it.
02:11 Every time we tried to broke one, even with Sean's touchdown being called back
02:16 in another run out there earlier, they were holding calls, holding it back.
02:20 So we just gotta cut the holding calls out.
02:22 >> Todd, based off of what you saw from the secondary tonight,
02:24 what would be the point of emphasis going into practice on Sunday?
02:28 >> Young guys need a lot of work.
02:29 Ball can not go over you.
