### **Quarterback**
**What did you make of the series you played?**
"There are places we can be better."
**Given what you want to accomplish this year, how do you view what you have from the couple of series tonight?**
"All you can do is evaluate the reps you get and grow and learn from them."
**Are you frustrated that you got hit? I think a couple years ago, you said there is an advantage to that to get you ready for the season, but today to take an extra hit, was that frustrating?**
"You get your feet wet. That's football. Obviously there are places that we can be better."
**How important was it for you to get under center a little?**
"We're working to get better in all facets, that certainly being one of them. We're adding that to our system and see where it can take us."
**How do you feel like the under center stuff has gone so far?**
"Some good, some bad. Just like everywhere, we can get better."
**Everyone focuses on you when you're under center, but how much does it impact the offensive line, receivers, tight ends, etc.?**
"Receivers and tight ends, I'm not sure too much. But offensive line, quarterback and running back, it certainly does."
**A big part of preseason is getting the systems down, getting communication down. Is that a significant part of what you need to accomplish in these games?**
"Yeah, getting the operation, getting some reps of real game-like operation is certainly beneficial. Getting the play in, getting subs in, being down in the clock, knowing when to send the motions — that's beneficial."
**How much does tonight make you want to get out there and play again in the preseason?**
"Dex (Dexter Lawrence II) and I were talking about that. Once you go through warmups, once you're out there, you get warm, you get into the flow and then you just kind of want to stay out there, keep going. That's not where we're at, but as a player you want to be out there playing."
**Do you want to keep playing the next couple games and get more snaps?**
"If that's what we decide, then I'm happy to do it."
**Can you get more quality work in a joint practice than in a preseason game?**
"It's different. Any time there's live bullets, there's going to be a lot of benefit from that. Getting a bunch of reps against another team in a practice setting is beneficial too. Those are always difficult because you're not game planning and you're running plays against a system that you probably wouldn't be running in an actual game week."
**Did anybody stand out tonight, whether when you were out there or just watching?**
"81, Dohnte (Meyers) looked really good. He's looked good all camp. The near-catch that Noah (Thomas) made down there in the red zone was impressive. He's made plays like that all training camp as well. Those are the two that kind of pop out at you immediately."
**What has stood out most about Dohnte Meyers over the past month?**
"Number one, he just loves ball. The week before training camp, I texted him, I was like, 'Hey, are you in town.' He was like, 'I can be.' I was like, 'Can you be here tomorrow at 11?' He's like, 'Yeah.' I come to find out he drove from Atlanta that night to be there to throw the next day. That's the kind of guy he is. He's had a great camp. He's quick, shifty, understands what we're trying to do. He's played a lot in the CFL. He comes over here and hasn't played a lot in the NFL, but he's got a lot of reps under his belt. He's a guy that we've seen a lot out of."
**Is there anything that strikes you about Jack Endries?**
"Jack made one good play today on the sham route, made a couple guys miss. He's got a great feel for the game, reminds me of Tanner (Hudson) in that way. The more he sees it, the more he'll be able to create that feel quicker and more efficient."
**What did you guys end up doing that morning Dohnte Meyers drove up?**
"We just got some work in on the field. Colbie (Young) was there, Dohnte was there, just got some work in."
**You just wanted to get a feel for some of the new guys?**
**Do you have any thoughts on Jayden Daniels' jersey number being used at Louisiana State University?**
"I don't know too much about it. I just heard about it a couple hours ago. I don't necessarily have too many thoughts at this time. I don't know enough about the situation to have any thoughts, I would say."
**Has there ever been a conversation with you about not using your number at LSU?**
"They told me that they wouldn't use it again, but you never know what happens."
