Definitely expected this. Not surprised at all.

“The defense is ahead of the offense, and I’m okay with that.” Sarkisian says that’s historically been the case with his teams early on in camp. Right now, the defense has the edge but Sark says he is hopeful the gap closes here soon as camp progresses.

That’s it for Sark.

Sarkisian says RB Tre Wisner had a 50-60 yard run with the twos today.

Sark said there’s “some mental toughness” that needs to start emerging on offense.

Still, he said Tre Wisner had a 50-60-yard touchdown during a live period today.

Sark said the defense is ahead of the offense.

Sark said with the options they’ve got at nickel, it could be opponent-specific and/or game-plan specific regarding who gets the most snaps there.

Sark said he’s not in a rush for a starter at nickel to emerge. “I need versatility there,” he said.

Sark said it’s hugely important to keep developing the young players on the roster throughout the season.

Sark mentioned Maraad Watson, Cole Brevard, Hero Kanu and Alex January when he was asked which defensive linemen have flashed early in camp.

DJ Campbell is back at practice. Sark said Ryan Wingo needed another day.

Sark said Jordan Washington and Emaree Winston had some nice plays in the red zone yesterday.

“Emmett, I’m impressed with. He is a bigger guy that you think. Even for me.” Sark says he’s 210 pounds. “everything about him is probably better than you think.”

Sark said they wanted an experienced, productive tight end out of the portal, which is why they went and got Jack Endries. That Endries can be a red-zone weapon is a bonus.

With maybe the longest runway remaining in the country. I foresee another #1 class

Today was a heavy red zone day for the offense today.

Sark: “We’ve got to think really good and play physical.”

Sark on what intangibles need to show out when the team practices in full pads: “We’re looking for contact courage.”

Sarkisian says Manny Muhammad had a few picks yesterday. Jelani McDonald had one today, and Warren Roberson made plays. Sark says the defensive secondary is doing a fine job of playing the ball.

Sark really talking up how well the secondary is playing the ball.

“We’ve been good,” Sark said regarding quarterback ball security in camp. “Yesterday wasn’t our best day.”

Sarkisian says he left practice yesterday and QB Arch Manning had the offense on the field running one final walk through. Sark adds that is just who he is.

Sark: “We have to learn to deal with disappointment. Not every play is going to go perfect.” Offensively, he said, there’s too much of letting one play impact the next.
