I wouldn't expect him to say it, I don't see what he would
have to gain by saying it. Like Calkins points out he has a locker room to deal with. As he also points out it could very well be Lock's job all along, that Pete would be tight lipped seems perfectly natural to me. Calkins doesn't seem bothered by having his questions deflected, I think he sees it as typical coaching strategy

Bell from earlier on Lock's gun slinging ways. Lock really isn't the sort of QB you might think Pete would go with, a game manager he is not.

What Pete had to say about Lock after the infamous interception earlier in camp
After Lock’s trying-to-do-too-much gaffe, Carroll had seen enough. He had his assistant blow three horns to end the practice.

“I’m really glad that play happened in the first practice, because that was as bad of a play as you make,” Carroll said Friday. “He’s running over here, and he threw the ball over there, and it was a terrible play. And it was so obvious. It was like ‘OK, that’s the example of what we’re never going to do again.’

“He has some gunslinger in him.”

“That’s how he’s played his whole career,” Carroll of Lock, Denver’s second-round pick out of Missouri in 2019. “You go all the way back, I’ve seen all his college stuff, he’s made a million big plays and a million special plays, on the move, in the pocket, any which way you look at it.

“So, we have to see how that all fits with us, and when he makes his choices to go for it, does he come through or not? And so far, he’s done a pretty darn good job. He’s been very effective when he’s moving out of the pocket.”

If Pete does make a productive QB out of Lock that be an interesting addition to his coaching resume

From his Walters football college profile, interesting he had revolving door coaching issues at Missouri, then again with Denver didn't he? His Senior Bowl performance is noted
. Lock is a gunslinger-style quarterback who has a big arm with the ability to throw any pass. His powerful arm allows him to fire the ball into tight windows for completions as the velocity of his throws is capable of beating coverage. He throws the ball well downfield and shows timing and anticipation. Along with his arm, Lock is a better athlete than one would expect. Scouts say that comes across the more one watches him, and his athleticism is a surprising plus for the big-armed quarterback. Lock also has above-average accuracy and showed improvement as a senior. He can throw receivers open and doesn't miss open receivers. His field vision is advanced, too, as he moves his eyes to work through progressions and does not lock onto his primary target.

There are a number of things that Lock needs to improve upon for the NFL. He suffers from what I call "big-arm syndrome," meaning he can have some flaws in decision-making because he trusts his arm too much. That led to him throwing some passes he shouldn't into coverage. Lock also could use some tutoring and mentoring because he was not coached up at Missouri. The Tigers had a revolving door at offensive coordinator, and sources say there are some basic things that Lock needs to pick up. However, they say he is smart and picked things up fast at the Senior Bowl. Sources say that of all the potential first-round quarterbacks in the 2019 NFL Draft, Lock has received the least amount of coaching and development.
With how Pete was chatting Lock up, the first qb pick in the draft and all that, there could be truth to it. The guy does sound talented. The issues seem to come down to coaching, could Pete turn that around?

Very possible that If RW went through what Lock did at Denver when he broke in he might be out of football right now or certainly FAR below HOF level career.

That is probably good news for DK. Maybe we'll see a few quick slants this season.

Exactly. Let him catch the ball in space and use speed and ability to flick DBs away like fleas...
