What happened: Drake Maye said the offense sustained its execution better during the first of two joint practices. He called for greater competitive stamina and longer strings of productive plays.

Why it matters: Maye put the responsibility for cleaner communication and fewer sacks, penalties and negative plays on himself. Entering his third year, he also wants to remain a passer longer before scrambling.

What to watch: Maye said his preseason workload is beyond his control, but he is ready to play. His game usage and pocket management are the next measures of progress.
