How are the RBs creating third‑down opportunities in the new run game?
All right. Uh the point's gonna be up for a little bit. Does that create opportunities for for a third down roll or
really all the backs, I think those backs have progressed really well, especially these past couple weeks in the protection game and even the past game. And I I think you look at that room, they've kind of been by committee in the run game. It's the same thing in the past game, whether it's third down or it's two minutes, second and long. I think all of them have ability and a value to add.
Jamari Taylor had a big game the other night. That's probably LaQuint's absence probably gives him the biggest opportunity to go, right? To move forward.
I would think it gives all the backs, like I said, it's great to see Jamari's progression in the run game there. I think you really saw it highlighted in the game. But even out here at practice, you see him picking up the protection system. He's a sharp guy, works hard and studies at it. As does C-Rod and Tutan and Amir. They they all really have embraced all the roles of playing running back, which is a unique aspect of that room because we know that the protection aspect is a little less. glorious than going out there and running for a touchdown. So it's exciting to have that group of guys who are hard nosed and willing to stick, you know, go in there and block a linebacker or a defensive end if they have to in the pass pro game.
The Carter operation was the quarterback.
It was great to see Carter get out there and get some live action, especially because you can try to simulate as much as you want in training camp, but until you're really gonna get hit by a defensive end or a defensive tackle or a linebacker, it it's not the real thing. It's not truly full speed until you get there in that preseason game.
What impact does Jamari Taylor’s recent performance have on the backfield hierarchy?
So it was great to see him go out there with the guys, have some moments where we struggled as an offense collectively in the first half, but he responded, came out well and played in the second half. Yeah.
When you're working through some of the things along the offensive line, like right now, does that impact you say as a play caller, maybe this unit, you know, running this play together, this guy running from this position, so on and so forth? Yeah. Yeah,
yeah, certainly something you want to keep in mind. Uh ideally, we would not have to throw a rookie out there at right tackle as on the second play of a preseason game. So that certainly impacts your plan for sure. But I love the way those guys embrace it. Even at practice, you see the guys moving around to different spots. Everybody's playing inside, they're playing outside, they're playing left, they're playing right. So I've probably said this a hundred times. Now I'm fortunate that we have guys that can play those different spots, but you see Certainly keep it in mind to try to give guys maybe a little bit less challenging downs than had they gone out there and you're just running the plays blindly.
H have you seen Emmanuel kinda progress from, you know, when you guys first got him and to, you know, up to his performance on Saturday?
That's a great question. You see the physicality, you see the strength, you see the athleticism, you see the speed, and he's able to showcase that stuff now because he has a better understanding of the system, a better understanding of his rules. When there's shifts and adjustments and movement by the defense and we're making communication and calls out there, the processing of that is just that much quicker. And it's a credit to his study and effort. It's all the extra work that he does with Coach Mendelson. After practice or at the end of the day, Coach Pacucci, Coach Soreto.
Why is protection skill important for RBs and how are they developing it in practice?
great job preparing him and he puts in a lot of extra work on his own time. I I see him in here at the facility. It I'll s take a stroll downstairs and it's ten o'clock at night and I'm expecting it's the only the cleaning crews around but it's a manual rolling around through the locker room just finishing up his recovery work. So I probably don't have enough good things to say about a guy like that.
