00:00 >> That you maybe wish you had or- >> No, no, not at all.

00:06 >> Can you evaluate Preston's first year at a school time play?

00:10 How high you thought that was?

00:12 >> I thought it went good.

00:14 I mean, can it be better?

00:15 Yeah, it can be better.

00:16 I think at times, when you struggle,

00:20 when you struggle offensively like we did at times,

00:26 I don't care who's calling plays, you might as well look at that thing with your eyes

00:31 closed and just pick a play, quite honestly, because it's hard, it's difficult.

00:36 I've been there, and you're trying to find that one player or

00:39 a spark that gets your offense rolling.

00:41 And with the struggles that we had at times, that's a difficult thing to do,

00:45 to try to weather it to the run game or the pass game, whatever it might be.

00:49 And then you're looking at the amount of turnovers, right?

00:54 You go up and down the field, you turn the ball over in the red zone, right?

01:00 You just can't do this, not play calling.

01:04 It's not the scheme or the design of plays.

01:06 It's just having the urgency, we gotta protect the football better,

01:09 things of that nature.

01:10 You jump off sides, now you're first and 15.

01:12 Okay, now you're looking at first and 15 and

01:15 anticipating maybe being second eight, second seven.

01:19 So all that, everything we do matters, right?

01:22 And so as a play caller, yeah, you wanna be as efficient as you can,

01:28 especially on early downs.

01:29 But at times, you get handcuffed just a little bit by trying to find

01:37 the right play, and especially when you're struggling as an offense.

01:40 But I thought overall,

01:41 Press did a nice job of organizing the offense,

01:44 the game planning that we did, and even calling.

01:49 I mean, I think, and I have to go back and look at all the numbers, but

01:53 I think points and different things like that were better.

01:56 And we can still get better on third down, the red zone, all of that.

02:01 But yeah, he did a nice job.
