How quickly can you tell if a young player is a football player if he thinks about it because it seems like at the Combine they’re all saying the right thing and it’s the job. How quickly does it take?
Pretty quick if they struggle in camp with everything going on/
The offense in general is having a bit of a slow start, but it’s early and there’s still a lot of talent on that side of the ball. So is your thought process that it’ll work itself out and the points will come or do you feel like you need to change something, fix something?
I think in this situation, a balanced approach works best. You don’t want to overreact too early, but addressing key areas can help you avoid bad habits becoming bigger problems. You can work with Moss on speeding up his decision-making process, maybe simplifying some reads or focusing on quicker releases. For the O-line, emphasizing technique in pass protection drills could help them maintain their blocks for just that extra beat.
I want to ask you about the receiver position in general. How have you seen that position evolve in importance over the years and how does having a player like WR Amon-Ra St. Brown sort of factor into that perspective?
The receiver position has evolved to become a focal point in modern offenses, with passing games becoming more dynamic and versatile. Having a player like Amon-Ra St. Brown amplifies that importance—his route-running, reliability, and ability to create separation give the offense flexibility and a go-to option in critical situations. St. Brown’s consistency allows the entire offense to open up, making him a key piece in today’s more receiver-driven game.
