Quarterback He's progressed this off season a couple Of areas that you can pick out that You've seen that he's really stepped up A little bit from what you saw in the Film from last year I just think it's incremental Improvements in every area I really Think you know that that's really Um that's really what we're looking for More than anything you know just small Incremental improvements on a consistent Basis in every area leads to really big Gains over a long time Okay appreciate it thanks thanks Dave All right let's go to Joe and finish With Mike K Frank I know you addressed uh Amir Yesterday but having seen him in person Today out there for a little bit yeah What did you think Yeah look good you know feel to the ball Well Um Caught it well You know you could see you know you Could see the route runner in them you Know you can see the route runner in him You could see the instincts that he has So excited to get to know him more Frank Um as an offensive coach how important Is that return game to you guys and why Was that such a priority here uh I guess
These last couple of days between Bringing in the wide receiver and Bringing in the corner you can return Pawns Well you know feel feel position as you Guys know feel because you could pretty Much You know look at your field position for A game and what yard line you start and The percentages of scoring touchdown as We all would expect and intuitively Understand is going to be impacted by The starting field position so So any help you can get in a return game Has a dramatic imp can have a dramatic Impact on the offense secondly when you Have a you know when you do what we did To get Bryce You know you you want to have a good Return game to help set the whole team Up it really helps set your your new Young quarterback out so we think that's A big deal All right thanks coach thanks Josh thank You
