00:00 >> He told us he was playing pickup basketball.
00:02 >> Yeah, he thinks he's pretty good, but he's really not, that's why he's here.
00:05 >> [LAUGH] >> Can you give us a context on what he
00:09 did and maybe what you expect now that he's- >> Yeah, well,
00:12 we went into it with different plans and then he went down.
00:16 And so he had to play more snaps than we thought he would.
00:19 But again, we've got a real good familiarity with Miles.
00:23 He started a lot of games for us last year, so I know what he's about and
00:28 what type of football player he is.
00:30 It's just a matter of just lack of reps and practice time for him.
00:34 But he did well, there's some things obviously he can work on.
00:37 We expect him to do better this week now that he had a week of game reps under his
00:41 belt than he was last week.
00:43 >> You guys brought Mike Walker and Blake in,
00:46 it was about getting them acclimated to the playbook and on that moving train,
00:49 so to speak.
00:49 Was there less of that sort of acclimation with Miles?
00:52 Was it more about the physical side, getting them ready for game reps?
00:55 >> I think for Miles it probably was more physical,
00:59 getting back in the football shape.
01:01 He knows our playbook.
01:02 I mean, obviously we have some changes every year, but
01:05 the core stuff of the interview is gonna remain pretty steady.
01:08 >> Did Miles get the dot on Sunday?
01:11 >> He had it last week.
