Awesome, so we went right around 115 plays for the ones and the twos, just a little bit over half a football.
Had some drives, worked a backed up situation with some crowd noise stuff in there, worked a short yardage situation, worked an overtime situation within each drive. There was obviously normal third downs, red zone that came up. Really, really good work. Overall, worked some special teams elements at the beginning, worked pump, pump, return, and then did a competition pump, pump, return period in the middle. Again, we've worked a lot of scrimmage type situations through the first nine days at camp. This was incredible for us to get everybody off the field, coaches up in the box, game day operation, did TV timeouts, started with our full warmup, tried to simulate what it would be to be a game day. We're 22 days out. We'll get another opportunity at that here this coming week. Overall, man, I just told the guys, if we don't humble ourselves to get coached here in the next 24 hours, there were some bright spots, and it's going to sound like coach talk, there were some bright spots, but there was also some pre-snap stuff that is not how you can function offensively.
There was some bright spots on defense, and then there was some tackling stuff that didn't look like, it looked like our second time tackling. And so we need a bunch of work tackling. We need a bunch of work perimeter blocking. We need a bunch of work pre-snap. We need a bunch of crowd noise work.
I told the entire team, coaches, everybody, like humble the heck out of yourselves here. Coach, take the coaching. I would walk out and say, overall, a sloppy day on both sides. Make an excuse and say, man, first scrimmage, first time really, like we didn't look like a veteran team. We looked like a team that has highs and lows and is emotional and rides with that, which is the complete opposite of what we want. So a lot to work on, like a ton to work on. And that's the truth on that. So I'll take questions.
