We are speaking to the coordinators today. Next up is OC Derrick Nix. Click refresh, will continue to update...

** The RB's have worked really hard and been really consistent. Asking them to do a lot. Jarquez has done a great job, breaking tackles. Alston is right behind him, doing a great job catching the football.

** Payton Thorne has been an extension of the coaching staff. Been a leader, getting us out of bad plays and into good plays with his checks.

** Hank Brown has always had great arm talent. Been more consistent. Knows offense inside and out.

** Lots of opportunities to use helmet communication during practice and scrimmages. No problems. Nix will likely be in coaches box during game.

** Flipped Wade and Percy from guard to tackle. Still trying to work out the best combination there. OL has been good in the run game.

** Best coordinators in this league to a great job with in-game adjustments.

** Been great being back with Coach Freeze. Being in this role has been exciting and a great learning experience.

** Rivaldo has done a great job this camp of catching passes and improving his blocking. All the TE's have been consistent. We can be in 11 or 12 personnel.

** Robert Lewis can play inside or outside, a positive influence on young guys. DeAndre also bringing a lot of leadership. Work hard and set a good example for the young guys.

** Feel good about playing 6-7 WR's at a high level.

** Wants the offense to be able to run the ball even if the defense knows they're going to run it, be efficient in the passing game.

***THAT'S ALL***
