What Shanahan said after Day 4:
Was that about as good a day for the passing game as you've had here?
"I mean there were some more open guys today. They had a couple of busted coverages and so there were some big ones you guys saw with that and they blitzed a little bit more, so when they blitzed people are open, but those balls, there's a lot of sacks there too. So, it was similar to the other three days. I'm very excited to get pads on tomorrow."
What have you learned about QB Sam Darnold through these opening practices?
"I mean pretty much everything we knew throughout OTAs. He is a very talented guy. Everyone has really liked working with him. I think the team's loved him. He's doing some good things out there and getting more and more comfortable each day."
When QB Brock Purdy goes two on, one off, does the off date just not count in that formula?
"Well no. He's supposed to take two days off, so that's why it's perfect for him. He gets the off day and then he gets the one off today and now he'll throw two days in a row."
So does he go two on, two off?
"For a certain amount of days then he flips one. I think we do that like six days from now. It's a thought-out plan. I don't have to memorize it because it's all on paper. But yeah, it is two off because he gets the off day and he never starts the low day."
What were your early impressions of Brock in practice?
"I think he's done great. He has come back. He's had no arm troubles. He's been totally healthy. I think he's getting all his timing back, his rhythm. I was really impressed with him in his two practices."
Was part of Brock's ability to come back quicker all of the preparation he does off the field?
"Yeah, Brock's just so detailed and committed in everything he does, so he didn't miss one day. Every rep that he takes to get better in his health, he is just deliberate in everything he does. How committed he was to doing that, to being here, to going down to Florida, to being in Arizona. If he was going to have a setback and something went wrong was the only way we felt he wasn't going to be ahead of schedule by what he does."
