Q. Jalen has not thrown an interception in practice in a long time. How is he doing balancing taking care of the ball and taking risks down the field?
SHANE STEICHEN: It's what you said, he's done a hell of a job making the right decision, especially in practice, going through his reads, going through his progressions very nicely, and when he has a chance to make a big play out of the pocket, he'll take it. If not he's doing a good job of throwing the ball away when he needs to.
Q. We've keen Kenny have some ups and downs in camp.
SHANE STEICHEN: Kenny auto did a nice job in the game against the Browns. He ran the ball hard. He's improving every day. And we are just looking for that growth in year two. More than anything with any player, we want to see that jump in year two, and he's been doing a nice job.
Q. Now that you had a chance to review the tape of the Browns game, what did you think of the way that Cam Jurgens against played? How much does his athleticism open things up?
SHANE STEICHEN: I thought he did a hell of a job. First play of the game he got on the edge and put that guy on the ground. He's doing a really nice job with the calls, the points, the protection stuff, and then you can see the athleticism getting out in space. He's a really good get for us. We are excited about his future.
Q. I know you want to avoid player comparisons, but when you watch him on film, are do you find yourself thinking, that looks like Kelce?
SHANE STEICHEN: I don't want to compare players because they are all unique in their own ways but he shows some unique signs and athletic ability that we are excited for.
Q. What did you think about the RPO game, Garner running it in?
SHANE STEICHEN: He did a nice job. He came in, he operated as a high level, I believe I was 14 of 17, had over a hundred quarterback rating. Pleased with that group in general and just overall. We had three drives, scored on the first two of them and then got down there and missed that opportunity on fourth down but almost had three scores on three drives with that second group that was in there. So really pleased with their performance, and we've just got to continue that.
Q. Is that something that you feel that he excels at versus Jalen or is that something you want to see?
SHANE STEICHEN: We just did a little bit of that. He does a nice job operating the offense. Again, like I said, all those quarterbacks right now are playing pretty good football and we've got to keep that going.
Q. Last year in the game, running the ball, usually used two running backs and you have three that you're playing here. Is there going to be a change or do you have room to really get all three in to what you want to do?
SHANE STEICHEN: Yeah, I think obviously Miles is our guy but really excited about Boston and Kenny, what they bring to the table. And if those guys got to go in and play, I feel really good about our backs, I really do. All three of those guys bring something unique, they see it well and they can catch the ball to the backfield. Feel really good about the group in general.
Q. What went into the decision to play Boston first and take almost all the carries?
SHANE STEICHEN: Boston had not practiced a lot so we wanted to get him going a little bit and get him out there. He did a nice job, and then Kenny obviously came in and carried it well and scored that touchdown there. But it was really good to see both those guys perform at a high level.
Q. When do you think about short yardage and goal line situations, the prototypical power back, is that something a team needs or do you think those yards can come in different shapes?
SHANE STEICHEN: They can come in different shapes. Sometimes you see those big runners that can mull it in there, but then you have Boston from a stature standpoint, Boston can find those little creases, and same with Kenny and Miles has that speed to power that can hit it. So not really concerned about that. Both those guy, all three of those guys can do it.
Q. From a data perspective, Jalen Hurts played that role for you last year. Do you view him as a power play back?
SHANE STEICHEN: He can be. I think all those guy, right. If they need to run between the tackles, they can do it, and it's been proven that all four of those guys can do it. So like I said feel good about all those guys.
Q. With Jalen going into his second year in the offense, are there some things that maybe you didn't implement that were in the playbook that now there's a comfort level?
SHANE STEICHEN: I think with anything, going into year two and being in the same system for the first time since high school, I mean, there's a comfort level right there with the terminology standpoint, and then you can obviously build on that, right. With anything, with any offense when you're in it for a while, you can build on it and add wrinkles, and we are looking at doing some of those things.
Q. With Frank coming back from injury, which area does he need to catch up the most?
SHANE STEICHEN: I think with anything, most guys are playing tight end in the NFL, it's that in-line blocking. We want to see that from him this week. See where he's at with that. Feel good about it. But we've got to see it really good -- feel really good about his receiving skills, running routes. He's proven that early on in camp. But it will be good to get him back out there.
Q. Noah Togiai, what have you seen in the difference from last year to this year?
SHANE STEICHEN: I think it's being in the system for year two, and he's been in the system in Indy. But he's been doing a nice job jobbing, running routes and it's been showing up in the preseason game and he has great growth right now and he's doing a nice job.
Q. The defensive players talked last week about the value of seeing under center runs, playaction plays. Playaction was such a big part of what you did with the Chargers, how do you use playaction here and why are you not much of an under center team?
SHANE STEICHEN: I think we can be. It doesn't mean we're not. Can we? Yeah, I think in depends who we are playing and what we are trying to get accomplished from a playaction standpoint. If we feel that we can do a playaction in e begun great, but if we feel we need to do under center, too, we'll do it on a week-by-week basis.
Q. Did Jalen have more comfort in the shotgun versus under center?
SHANE STEICHEN: I think depends on the play. Honestly that's really what it is. Under center you get some pull. Depends on what type of playaction you're trying to run without getting into too many details what you're trying to accomplish from the gun or under center.
