We are speaking with offensive coordinator Eric Kiesau. Follow along for all updates, mmm'kay? Mmm'kay.

- On QB decision: "Quite honestly, I haven't watched the film yet. It's going to be a hard one. They have all played pretty well."

- On Robby Ashford: When he first got here, he was trying to throw everything so hard. Says we have to throw catchable balls and he's gotten a lot better over the past few weeks.

- On what he was hoping to get out of scrimmage: Tonight was very situational. Broke up scrimmage into different situations. Tried to put the QBs and offense in different looks. They started out a little slow but then got going.

- The offense has gotten into more detail this fall camp compared to last year.

- On receivers: "They are really coming along. They are still progressing and will continue to progress." He's excited about the group though.

- Says the offense is a pro-style system with some no huddle parts. (No huddle? NO HUDDLE!) Can have two tight ends and run the ball and then spread out with four wide.

- Rotated the QBs evenly with the 1s, 2s and 3s. TJ had really good command. Had good precision. Robby was flashy when he ran around, doing a better job at just maturing. He's starting to play the QB position. Zach, we need to keep bringing him along. Zach has good days and bad days.

- On TJ's camp: "He's kinda tabbed as the old player since he was here last year." Said it clicked when transfers were brought in. Said he was initially shocked at first but made him better.

- On Holden Geriner: "He's doing good. He's just really young. He needs time to develop and get better, which he will."

- On Zach Calzada: He was limited in the spring. He wanted to jump in so fast and play like he did before he got hurt. Took some time to get acclimated.

- Who else stood out in the scrimmage? "It's hard to say because it was a short field."

- Says offensive line is starting to get into a groove. He really wouldn't point out one particular player but they are all doing well. Very pleased with where they are right now.

- Tank didn't go today but nothing bad. Just wanted to get other players reps.

- Damari has had a great camp. Kiesau says they will need him this season.

- Tate Johnson and Brandon Council rotated at center.

- Has to find creative ways to get Malcolm Johnson the ball.

- There is a chance that Nick Brahms could be back for the season. "We are still working through it."

That's it for Kiesau.
