Postgame – Atlanta

WR River Cracraft

(What are your takeaways for the time you did spend in there on where you guys are at at this point in the preseason offensively?) – “Obviously, we need to improve on red zone. I think (Head Coach) Mike (McDaniel) said we were 0-for-3. I know I was out there for at least two of those. I thought we had a chance on that pick, and my guy sluffed off and jumped in front of Tyler (Kroft) on that one. We got to execute better; we had a great play call and the design was there. It’s what happens, so it’s stuff we can learn from, and it’s frustrating, but those are the things we can correct going forward.”

(Head Coach Mike McDaniel always puts it as ‘the language has been learnt by you guys;’ it’s not like a foreign language anymore. So tonight was just a matter of the fact that it’s preseason game No. 1 is just getting the little things taken care of a little bit better?) – “Yeah, and outside of myself, just because I’ve been in the offense and with Mike (McDaniel) for a few years and (Wide Receivers Coach) Wes (Welker), it’s a lot of guys’ times first times in the stadium, in the atmosphere, hearing the play calls, feeling the environment. You can miss things and you got to learn to calm yourself, talking about the young guys obviously. Those are the things that you get to learn from the first few preseason games. It’s good for everybody, and it’s good to have a veteran like myself out there to help these guys calm them down like, ‘Hey, it’s okay to talk in these huddles and you don’t have to be freaking out.’ Not that they were. I thought they handled themselves great.”
