1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,120 Speaker 1: Keeping six or seven wide receivers in a roster in 2 00:00:02,160 --> 00:00:06,720 Speaker 1: the given year, and then how you assess houseecus is 3 00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:10,200 Speaker 1: played so far? Yeah, I mean the roster's always kind 4 00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:12,280 Speaker 1: of fluid, sometimes a week to week of how do 5 00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:15,200 Speaker 1: we build the best fifty three getting ourselves to a 6 00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:18,840 Speaker 1: game day active roster. You know, who are you risk 7 00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:22,320 Speaker 1: losing if you make available, if you put on waiver wires, 8 00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:24,880 Speaker 1: versus who could you potentially bring back? Things like that. 9 00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:27,560 Speaker 1: That all comes into play. But you know, ideally you've 10 00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:30,400 Speaker 1: got three guys that you know are going to contribute 11 00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:33,320 Speaker 1: most of the past game to a fourth guy that 12 00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:36,120 Speaker 1: can be versatile or have some sort of role, and 13 00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:38,959 Speaker 1: then depending fifth, sixth, A lot of that comes down 14 00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:42,040 Speaker 1: to special teams. I mean, ideal world, we're not throwing 15 00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:43,600 Speaker 1: the ball to the fifth receiver a lot of times 16 00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:45,400 Speaker 1: on game day when there's five guys out, it's the 17 00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:48,319 Speaker 1: top three guys you're kind of rolling through, plus tight ends, 18 00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:51,320 Speaker 1: running backs, whatever the matchups determine. And then that guy 19 00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:55,160 Speaker 1: has versatility to play multiple spots or thrive in a 20 00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:58,400 Speaker 1: certain role, but probably gets a game day jersey because 21 00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:01,720 Speaker 1: of special teams most likely. And then we have a 22 00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:04,039 Speaker 1: lot of guys, guys like seafists that you're asking about 23 00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:06,640 Speaker 1: that kind of fit, that mold of you know, how 24 00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:09,679 Speaker 1: do they fit, where do they fit in fourth, fifth, sixth, 25 00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:12,440 Speaker 1: what's their value as a receiver, what's their value on 26 00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:14,080 Speaker 1: special teams as well? 27 00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:16,360 Speaker 2: What do you want to do with Ingram this year? 28 00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:18,880 Speaker 1: Oh, there's a lot of things. I think Evan is 29 00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,560 Speaker 1: such a dynamic ball carrier that a lot of it 30 00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:23,040 Speaker 1: is get them the ball as quick as you can, 31 00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:25,840 Speaker 1: you know, running away from people. But I think an 32 00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:29,640 Speaker 1: element that he's always had is getting down the field 33 00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:31,960 Speaker 1: really and sometimes it's trying to find what the matchup 34 00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:33,440 Speaker 1: is you can get them on safety as you know 35 00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:35,640 Speaker 1: that there's certain looks. We don't get a lot of 36 00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:39,880 Speaker 1: matchups with them in against linebackers necessarily versus man we 37 00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:41,880 Speaker 1: get a lot of safety carry looks. We get a 38 00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:43,440 Speaker 1: lot of people that will play a nickel to twelve 39 00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:46,160 Speaker 1: personnel when he's in the game. So then it's is 40 00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:48,920 Speaker 1: it worth the tight end matchup against a nickel or 41 00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:51,200 Speaker 1: a safety when you could get a receiver in that matchup. 42 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:53,280 Speaker 1: So there's kind of a give and take. You're always 43 00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:55,720 Speaker 1: if we give him this, we're taking that from some 44 00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:58,360 Speaker 1: somebody else, But there's a lot of those elements. Then 45 00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:01,280 Speaker 1: he's done a good job, particular when he's in the 46 00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:03,560 Speaker 1: core blocking second level. When we have a couple of 47 00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:06,240 Speaker 1: schemes where he gets on the second level quickly, he 48 00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:07,720 Speaker 1: does a pretty good job in that stuff. So that's 49 00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:10,640 Speaker 1: something we're just continuing to try to evolve. But getting 50 00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:14,880 Speaker 1: him the football quickly things things happened quickly and happened 51 00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:16,639 Speaker 1: pretty well for him. He's a good ballcarreer, he has 52 00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:18,720 Speaker 1: the skills to be able to make those plays he does. 53 00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:20,760 Speaker 1: And yeah, he's really good as a contested catch guy 54 00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:23,160 Speaker 1: kind of above the shoulders as well. That's something he's 55 00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:26,040 Speaker 1: done really well, kind of those half back shoulder half 56 00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:28,200 Speaker 1: contested catch type situations. 57 00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:31,239 Speaker 3: Pushing for more workdown field a little bit and talk. 58 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:34,359 Speaker 1: To you about no, not necessarily, but I mean he'll 59 00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:36,800 Speaker 1: do anything we ask. So it's just something as we 60 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,600 Speaker 1: go and look at our offense of attacking all sorts 61 00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:41,480 Speaker 1: of parts of the field, whether it be you know, 62 00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:45,080 Speaker 1: vertically or horizontally. He's a certainly guy that can give 63 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:46,079 Speaker 1: us that rush. 64 00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:48,880 Speaker 2: Ryan's brought in you know, a few guys that he's 65 00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:51,440 Speaker 2: worked with before, either he's coached with them or they 66 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:55,760 Speaker 2: played for him. How much does as a coordinator, how 67 00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 2: much does familiarity with people you have on the stat 68 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:05,160 Speaker 2: coming in sort of exacerbate the process of transferring that knowledge, 69 00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:09,440 Speaker 2: transferring the philosophy you want to the players and you know, ultimately, 70 00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,000 Speaker 2: you know, getting to the point where you're winning games. 71 00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:13,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean that's a big part of it. I 72 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:15,840 Speaker 1: think you're comfortable with the people that you've been around, 73 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:19,360 Speaker 1: you have shared experiences with. Now there's value in outside 74 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:21,480 Speaker 1: voysess people you don't know. Ultimately, it's how you all 75 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:25,040 Speaker 1: work together. So whether that's new people that your personality 76 00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:26,720 Speaker 1: is messur really well together, or people that you've been 77 00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:28,800 Speaker 1: through the fire with that you know howbody's gonna respond 78 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:32,440 Speaker 1: and your personalities mesh that. That's ultimately that's how it's 79 00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:35,400 Speaker 1: gonna work. It's just it's people working together. But I 80 00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:38,240 Speaker 1: think there's certainly if you have shared experience with somebody, 81 00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:40,520 Speaker 1: that's gonna help kind of tighten that bond and be 82 00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:42,160 Speaker 1: able to lean on that bond at the right times. 83 00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,720 Speaker 2: You noticed that you took the offense as a group down. 84 00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 3: I think you've phrased it down to the studs or 85 00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:49,760 Speaker 3: something like that a week or two ago when you 86 00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:50,200 Speaker 3: met with us. 87 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 1: How has that process gone? 88 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:54,080 Speaker 4: And you please with the growth and can you describe 89 00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:54,839 Speaker 4: the growth. 90 00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:58,080 Speaker 1: That Yeah, yeah, I mean there's really more so than 91 00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 1: anything is our run game of just the terminology, the structure, 92 00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 1: the progression of the way we teach it, because that's 93 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:06,800 Speaker 1: something we haven't been as good as we want to be, 94 00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:09,640 Speaker 1: and so moving forward, we kind of paired it down 95 00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:11,840 Speaker 1: what's really important to us? What do we want to 96 00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:13,800 Speaker 1: be really good at? What have we been good at? 97 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:16,600 Speaker 1: How do we build this thing? Rebuild this thing from scratch? 98 00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:19,360 Speaker 1: And that's really where our main focus was. I think 99 00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:21,800 Speaker 1: guys are seeing that. I think the progression, the way 100 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:23,800 Speaker 1: we've taught it so far through the off season is 101 00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 1: really stuck with guys. There's probably a clear understanding, there's 102 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:30,799 Speaker 1: probably more of things fitting in certain families to where 103 00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:34,520 Speaker 1: the rules the techniques are carrying over from play to play. 104 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:38,400 Speaker 1: But again, you honestly have no idea if you can 105 00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:41,040 Speaker 1: run the ball until the game start. I mean, preseason 106 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,880 Speaker 1: only gives you so much. Obviously, off season doesn't give 107 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:45,839 Speaker 1: you a whole lot. It gives you targeting and landmarks 108 00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:48,600 Speaker 1: and footwork and technique, but there's no physicality. We talked 109 00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:51,640 Speaker 1: about that last time. Even into training camp, there's only 110 00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:53,280 Speaker 1: so much you can do. You'll get a handful of 111 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:56,520 Speaker 1: days that are full speed, but it's just really not 112 00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:58,960 Speaker 1: a ton. And then kind of got to get a 113 00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:01,000 Speaker 1: hope that your training has taken you to the point 114 00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,640 Speaker 1: where now when the bullets are flying, we know what 115 00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:04,880 Speaker 1: we're doing, we know how to respond. 116 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:08,159 Speaker 4: Have you noticed the difference in Parker Washington. 117 00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:11,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, Parker's Parker's definitely playing more confidently. I think he's 118 00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:13,360 Speaker 1: a lot healthier than he was this time last year 119 00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:17,880 Speaker 1: when we got him. But just things slow down. As 120 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:20,480 Speaker 1: guys they're they're not worried every time they break the 121 00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:23,479 Speaker 1: huddle about what I'm doing. Where a my stance has 122 00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:25,680 Speaker 1: this route change? If they play this now it's he's 123 00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:28,160 Speaker 1: heard it one hundred times. So we give a play call, 124 00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:30,400 Speaker 1: we give a route, we move him around. He knows 125 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:34,160 Speaker 1: the expectations of that particular player in that particular concept, 126 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:35,920 Speaker 1: and so now you just see the skill sets start 127 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:38,200 Speaker 1: to come out. So that confidence is a big thing, 128 00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:40,479 Speaker 1: and it's it's you know, he'll continue to grow. He 129 00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:42,640 Speaker 1: was putting the fire last year was moved around a 130 00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:45,080 Speaker 1: couple of spots, made some plays. I think that certainly 131 00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:49,680 Speaker 1: contributes to some confidence from the playmaking himself. But he's 132 00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:50,440 Speaker 1: continuing to grow. 133 00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:52,240 Speaker 4: Kind of combining a couple of things. 134 00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:57,279 Speaker 3: Dave and Brian have both said that there they value 135 00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:00,080 Speaker 3: blocking like they understand O'Brien said that at LSU, if 136 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,960 Speaker 3: you didn't block, you couldn't get on the field. How 137 00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:07,080 Speaker 3: has that maybe shifted your view of those six wide receivers, 138 00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:09,240 Speaker 3: that six or seven wide receivers you would. 139 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:09,760 Speaker 1: Keep on the roster. 140 00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:13,320 Speaker 3: Additionally, having those two players as you take this thing 141 00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:17,200 Speaker 3: down to the studs, how does their skill set maybe force. 142 00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:18,360 Speaker 4: You to completely alter. 143 00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:19,440 Speaker 3: What you did for a year ago. 144 00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think. I mean, obviously we want to be 145 00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:25,360 Speaker 1: We feel like kind of the interior, the core unit 146 00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:27,960 Speaker 1: is going to help us efficiently run the football. But 147 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:32,200 Speaker 1: efficiency turns into explosion. Explosion when the receivers are blocking 148 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:34,400 Speaker 1: and you get those four yard runs turn into fourteen 149 00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:36,720 Speaker 1: yard runs. Because we got hats on the safety, we're 150 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:40,000 Speaker 1: carrying corners out whatever that may be, and we're not 151 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,320 Speaker 1: going to ask those guys to go block middle linebackers. 152 00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:43,520 Speaker 1: I mean, that's not part of there's going to be 153 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:44,800 Speaker 1: a time and a place where you're blocking a d 154 00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:47,240 Speaker 1: M or you're blocking align, but maybe a front side 155 00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:50,120 Speaker 1: pin pull, maybe backside cutoff. It may be getting to 156 00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:52,960 Speaker 1: the second level on a toss crack series. But for 157 00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:56,520 Speaker 1: the most part, we're blocking for safeties, we're blocking cloud corners. 158 00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:00,040 Speaker 1: Things we think those guys can do now certainly, and 159 00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:04,560 Speaker 1: their size helps. They're both big, strong, physical guys. For 160 00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:06,760 Speaker 1: the most part. Gabe's done it in the NFL, which 161 00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:09,000 Speaker 1: is a big deal. Brian will get him worked in 162 00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:11,480 Speaker 1: on certain concepts, but everybody has to block. We ask 163 00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:14,000 Speaker 1: Christian to block. Christian block's point of attack. Christian blocks 164 00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:18,720 Speaker 1: the backside of things. Sometimes it's the changing pictures where 165 00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:21,120 Speaker 1: it gets hard. You have to block the force safety. Well, 166 00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:23,320 Speaker 1: the for safety could be front side, could be backside, 167 00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:27,160 Speaker 1: could be a somebody blitzing off the slot. And so 168 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:29,560 Speaker 1: you trust those guys that know how to do that 169 00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:32,320 Speaker 1: really well. So having more of them helps us. Now 170 00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:35,240 Speaker 1: we're less into this guy's on the front side, the 171 00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:37,600 Speaker 1: runs to them, this guy's on the backside, the runs away. 172 00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:41,240 Speaker 1: Like it just helps you eliminate tendencies as you go. 173 00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:42,920 Speaker 1: Having more guys that can do more things. 174 00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:45,560 Speaker 2: Your thoughts on Matt Jones this offseason. 175 00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:47,840 Speaker 1: Max done a great job just getting in here and 176 00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:50,679 Speaker 1: learning the offense. I mean, he's a sponge. He loves football, 177 00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:54,760 Speaker 1: he loves learning football, talking football. He's constantly in the building. 178 00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:57,600 Speaker 1: He's constantly asking questions. He's constantly talking, which is one 179 00:07:57,640 --> 00:07:59,920 Speaker 1: thing you just hey, shut up, I gotta give you 180 00:07:59,920 --> 00:08:02,360 Speaker 1: a play call real quick. He just runs his mouth 181 00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:04,920 Speaker 1: all the time, which is fun. It makes practice fun. 182 00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:07,920 Speaker 1: He's chirping with the dbs all the time. It's hard 183 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:09,640 Speaker 1: right now, and we don't have helmets on, so there's 184 00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:12,240 Speaker 1: no headset communicator. I have to physically get him to 185 00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:14,360 Speaker 1: come talk to me to give him the next play call. 186 00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:16,120 Speaker 1: So I got to give him stop talking, give him 187 00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:18,360 Speaker 1: a play call. But he's done a great job just learning. 188 00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:20,560 Speaker 1: You see his experience. He's played a lot of football. 189 00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:22,840 Speaker 1: All the concepts we run he's run at some point 190 00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:25,800 Speaker 1: in time. So some of it's translating. And then you 191 00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:27,640 Speaker 1: try it as quickly as you can get away from 192 00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:30,720 Speaker 1: the old language you have of can't. You can't keep 193 00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:33,600 Speaker 1: telling yourself, oh, this is this, well, this is this, 194 00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:35,800 Speaker 1: and a certain point it's got to go away, and 195 00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:37,680 Speaker 1: it's got to be this is this and this is 196 00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:40,600 Speaker 1: how we communicate. This is our language. He's done that. 197 00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:43,480 Speaker 1: He's playing quicker each day that he gets every rep 198 00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:45,680 Speaker 1: he gets. So we're glad. 199 00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:47,679 Speaker 2: We We always like to talk about that change of 200 00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:50,240 Speaker 2: scenery for a player. Is that real? 201 00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:53,400 Speaker 1: I think so. I think there's certain times where you know, 202 00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:55,440 Speaker 1: it just gets tough and it's nice to have a 203 00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:57,640 Speaker 1: breath of fresh air. It's nice. It's fun to learn 204 00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:00,480 Speaker 1: a new system, it's fun to talk new language with 205 00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:02,040 Speaker 1: the group. And I think you're kind of seeing that 206 00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:07,160 Speaker 1: with him right now. What I think we've established a 207 00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:11,199 Speaker 1: tempo and that's something that not necessarily like no huddle, 208 00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:13,320 Speaker 1: but a tempo in and out of the huddle. Uh, 209 00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:16,120 Speaker 1: the way we want to meet. Just establishing our standard 210 00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:18,400 Speaker 1: for this is what it looks like. Though we'd love 211 00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:20,680 Speaker 1: to say we establish this physicality that we're going to be, 212 00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:24,079 Speaker 1: but that's just not real right now. So there's certain 213 00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:26,240 Speaker 1: things of the tempo, the way we communicate in and 214 00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:28,560 Speaker 1: out of the huddle, playing at the line of scrimmage. 215 00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:31,080 Speaker 1: There's a couple of different things that I feel confident 216 00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:33,040 Speaker 1: we've been able to do. And then, like we talked 217 00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:36,560 Speaker 1: about just our run progression of this is our starting point. 218 00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:38,080 Speaker 1: This is how we build on this. This is how 219 00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:41,400 Speaker 1: it all fits together to where there's more understanding. It's 220 00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:45,520 Speaker 1: not memorization, it's it's now we understand why this word 221 00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:48,440 Speaker 1: means this, what this, how this relates to that, and 222 00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:50,720 Speaker 1: our blocking schemes the same, our combinations are the same. 223 00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:53,720 Speaker 1: That A big part of that's Trevor, I mean a 224 00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:55,599 Speaker 1: big part of that's familiarity. I mean we have I 225 00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:58,040 Speaker 1: would say seventy five eight percent of the group has 226 00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:01,400 Speaker 1: been here before, so they kind of under stand why 227 00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:04,280 Speaker 1: things went away, why things change the way they were called, 228 00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:07,079 Speaker 1: why we do things we do. You know, it helps 229 00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:09,800 Speaker 1: when your teach tapes are now are guys and there's 230 00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:13,280 Speaker 1: no more Indie clips Philly clips there, it's us for 231 00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:17,040 Speaker 1: two years, whether it's training camp, off season, competitive practic, 232 00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:20,160 Speaker 1: joint practices, games, whatever that is. So I think that 233 00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:22,800 Speaker 1: certainly helps guys watching themselves on tape as well. 234 00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:25,200 Speaker 4: What do you look for from young offensive lineman this 235 00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:28,040 Speaker 4: time of the year, like Javon Foster, doctor Jones. How 236 00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:30,080 Speaker 4: do you kind of figure out where they're at this 237 00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:30,600 Speaker 4: time of year. 238 00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:34,160 Speaker 1: That's hard because a lot of it for them. There's 239 00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:37,280 Speaker 1: so much more learning for offensive lineman there was in college. 240 00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:39,800 Speaker 1: Just we have a number of different calls. We're trying 241 00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:42,040 Speaker 1: to build their toolbox. Is a big thing of you 242 00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:44,000 Speaker 1: face this sort of rusher. This is how you're going 243 00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:46,760 Speaker 1: to approach it this week, and it changes every single week. 244 00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:49,640 Speaker 1: So they're seeing a lot of that throughout the off season, 245 00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:53,320 Speaker 1: just based on whether you're playing Josh Allen, Deshaun Dixon, 246 00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:56,520 Speaker 1: Trayvon Walker like all these different types of rushers. You 247 00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:59,560 Speaker 1: start to see how that changes. So you see how 248 00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:02,720 Speaker 1: they handle it, how they adjust. But a lot of 249 00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:04,719 Speaker 1: it you're just trying to get them to learn what 250 00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:07,679 Speaker 1: they can do, what the tools are. They really one 251 00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:09,080 Speaker 1: of the big things that they haven't heard plays in 252 00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:11,600 Speaker 1: the huddle and they haven't really used cadence at the line. 253 00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:13,040 Speaker 1: I mean a lot of it was no huddle. You 254 00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:15,400 Speaker 1: got a signal, you heard the quarterback clap, let's roll. 255 00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:17,880 Speaker 1: We have to vary the cadence. We have a lot 256 00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:19,760 Speaker 1: more play calls. You hear it in the huddle. So 257 00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:22,319 Speaker 1: there's a whole process that you're just trying to get 258 00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:25,320 Speaker 1: them through really to now their skill set flourish. It's 259 00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:27,840 Speaker 1: a little bit going back to like Parker, Parker settled in, 260 00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:28,640 Speaker 1: he's more confident. 261 00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:28,800 Speaker 3: Now. 262 00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:30,880 Speaker 1: You want to get them through that as fast as 263 00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:33,080 Speaker 1: possible so you can see their skill set takeover. 264 00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:35,120 Speaker 4: What has Brian done right? 265 00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:37,679 Speaker 3: What is Brian done right to help his adjustment in 266 00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:38,320 Speaker 3: the NFL? 267 00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:41,679 Speaker 1: That means I think he's just really diligent. One of 268 00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:43,440 Speaker 1: the things. We're trying to get him to talk more, 269 00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:47,600 Speaker 1: just ask more questions. He's not a big talker, so 270 00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:51,080 Speaker 1: you're not always sure. You're searching for feedback. Are you 271 00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:53,920 Speaker 1: picking up what we're saying? Well, so far it's always 272 00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:56,319 Speaker 1: translated over the field pretty good. So okay, he's getting 273 00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:57,839 Speaker 1: it in some way, shape or form. We want more 274 00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:01,400 Speaker 1: out of them communication wise, so we know what he's thinking. 275 00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:04,040 Speaker 1: Does this make sense to you? How do you relate this? 276 00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:05,840 Speaker 1: For the most part, he just kind of nods and 277 00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:07,160 Speaker 1: looks at you and then goes out on the field. 278 00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:09,400 Speaker 1: Does it right. So that's encouraging. At least he's doing 279 00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:12,040 Speaker 1: it right and not wrong, and you're looking for that. 280 00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:15,760 Speaker 1: But he does a great job. However, he's getting it, 281 00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:17,960 Speaker 1: whether it's from the meeting room, extra studying at night, 282 00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:20,120 Speaker 1: carrying it over the field. He's done a good job 283 00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:22,440 Speaker 1: that so far, and we're just trying to expose him 284 00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:24,640 Speaker 1: to as much as possible so that you know, if 285 00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:26,640 Speaker 1: he misses a signal or misses an alert that was 286 00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:30,319 Speaker 1: something real subtle in a huddle, it doesn't happen twice. 287 00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:32,760 Speaker 1: And with him so far, he's not repeating any mistakes. 288 00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:35,240 Speaker 4: When will he start. 289 00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:37,480 Speaker 3: To communicate with you guys? I need at what point 290 00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:40,080 Speaker 3: do you kind of like, all right, man, we really 291 00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:41,040 Speaker 3: got to know what you're thinking. 292 00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:42,760 Speaker 1: At this point. Hopefully we just annoy him enough to 293 00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:45,440 Speaker 1: where he starts talking back to us. We're just trying 294 00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:47,320 Speaker 1: to encourage him to talk more and more. And I 295 00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:49,440 Speaker 1: think it's just getting comfortable in your surroundings. I mean, 296 00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:52,959 Speaker 1: he's living Baton Rouge forever. Now he's living Jacksonville. You're 297 00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,800 Speaker 1: standing in a hotel, you're finding your way into work, 298 00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:57,480 Speaker 1: you're finding out where the cap do you are. There's 299 00:12:57,520 --> 00:12:59,960 Speaker 1: so much new for these guys that you're trying to 300 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:02,320 Speaker 1: just get them to settle in and then eventually we 301 00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:03,960 Speaker 1: hope that kind of takes over a little more of them. 302 00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:05,400 Speaker 4: What do you like as a coach? 303 00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:07,600 Speaker 2: How do you approach it when you see the schedule 304 00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:09,200 Speaker 2: actually come out, you know the order. 305 00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:12,560 Speaker 4: Like with Miami and Cleveland, non divisional teams, when do 306 00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:14,559 Speaker 4: you like to start working on them? 307 00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:17,560 Speaker 1: Do you wait or do you start as quick as possible. 308 00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:21,280 Speaker 1: I mean, I'll throughout the summer, I'll spend time just 309 00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:24,680 Speaker 1: kind of watching through and we were fortunate we played Cleveland, 310 00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:27,880 Speaker 1: we played Baltimore, which is kind of where we're going 311 00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:30,480 Speaker 1: off with Miami so far with Anthony Weaver over there. 312 00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:33,920 Speaker 1: But same idea, you go through, you watch your past, 313 00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:36,000 Speaker 1: you watch as much as you can throughout that. We'll 314 00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:38,560 Speaker 1: spend time really in training camp kind of when we 315 00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:41,280 Speaker 1: have those free moments of searching through certain things. There 316 00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:44,320 Speaker 1: may be days where we show, like you said, Cleveland, 317 00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:46,160 Speaker 1: we'll show Cleveland blitzes. We may not even tell our 318 00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:48,880 Speaker 1: guys as Cleveland blitzes, but as coaches, we'll put these 319 00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:51,160 Speaker 1: in kind of introduce it a little bit and start 320 00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:53,680 Speaker 1: working on that here and there. But as far as 321 00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:55,560 Speaker 1: the schedule goes, I mean, it's you kind of look 322 00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:57,960 Speaker 1: at those first four opponents. We'll start there and then 323 00:13:58,000 --> 00:13:59,080 Speaker 1: everything kind of flows from that. 324 00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:02,960 Speaker 3: I don't think talk to you till July. The proposed 325 00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:06,400 Speaker 3: new schedule for the off season that potentially could happen 326 00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:09,120 Speaker 3: where there would be no OTAs. You could just discuss 327 00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:11,520 Speaker 3: a from a coach's point of view. Do you like 328 00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:14,199 Speaker 3: the schedule the way it is now and then be 329 00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:17,360 Speaker 3: what that would mean for younger players to not have 330 00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:19,640 Speaker 3: the OTA perhaps but then have an earlier train. 331 00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:23,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, they're proposing that you come back mid July and 332 00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:27,960 Speaker 1: just start like two weeks on the front end. Yeah, 333 00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:30,800 Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean this is really all I know. 334 00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:32,840 Speaker 1: So I like it the way it is. I mean 335 00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:34,680 Speaker 1: I went through the COVID year obviously a no off 336 00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:36,800 Speaker 1: season one year. The next year was an ending, and 337 00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:38,720 Speaker 1: we had we had like a two week agreement with 338 00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:42,200 Speaker 1: our players. We just did two weeks, So that was 339 00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:44,920 Speaker 1: all different. I mean, there's good and bad with it. Really, 340 00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:46,880 Speaker 1: it's tell us what the rules are and we'll figure 341 00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:48,880 Speaker 1: out how we're gonna adjust to it. I don't know 342 00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:51,440 Speaker 1: if I'd necessarily have an opinion. It would probably change 343 00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:54,240 Speaker 1: our schedule from the get go. And so I mean, 344 00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:56,160 Speaker 1: as long as we have some summer break or something, 345 00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:56,760 Speaker 1: they'd be nice. 346 00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:59,040 Speaker 3: But do you think same Do you think it would 347 00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:02,160 Speaker 3: affect with younger players, like, for example, like the Josh 348 00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:04,880 Speaker 3: sepisis these undrafted free agent rookies be kind of unfair 349 00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:07,560 Speaker 3: to them, perhaps only have two preseason games, even if 350 00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:08,440 Speaker 3: it's an extended train. 351 00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:11,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, and same due like we're talking about, they're swimming 352 00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:14,280 Speaker 1: a lot of these young guys right now. They join 353 00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:15,880 Speaker 1: in the middle of phase two. They get one week 354 00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:17,560 Speaker 1: of Phase two with the Vets, and then they're kicked 355 00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:19,800 Speaker 1: into the deep end. We're playing it's otat spring ball. 356 00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:22,520 Speaker 1: We're practicing against each other, so you kind of get 357 00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:25,160 Speaker 1: those kinks out of the way early, and then they 358 00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:27,400 Speaker 1: come back for training camp. They know the speed we're 359 00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:30,880 Speaker 1: going through the install again where that process would be hard. 360 00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:33,720 Speaker 1: I mean they I would assume you'd pick them, get 361 00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:36,120 Speaker 1: them a playbook, whatever it is, but then they don't 362 00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:38,640 Speaker 1: come in for two months. Yeah, that would be tough 363 00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:41,800 Speaker 1: probably for young players. But I think that's they don't 364 00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:43,560 Speaker 1: really have a seat at the table in CBA. The 365 00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:45,480 Speaker 1: young guys don't. The old guys like the way it 366 00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:47,640 Speaker 1: is that they know it and so I don't know 367 00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:49,600 Speaker 1: how that plays out. Just tell me when I need 368 00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:50,880 Speaker 1: to be here and what we're doing. We'll figure it 369 00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:51,400 Speaker 1: out from there. 370 00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:55,240 Speaker 4: Spoke up the twenty twenty COVID season where you kind 371 00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:56,720 Speaker 4: of had an office and that was sort of like 372 00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:59,360 Speaker 4: that plan. Yeah, that's apparently reportedly where they got the 373 00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:01,680 Speaker 4: idea from. Yeah, do you have any lessons learned from 374 00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:03,840 Speaker 4: that off season that may you know, potentially if this 375 00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,160 Speaker 4: has made this a little bit easier of a transition 376 00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:07,160 Speaker 4: for those younger Yeah. 377 00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:08,600 Speaker 1: Honestly, I'd have to go back. I mean, that was 378 00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:11,120 Speaker 1: kind of just make it up as we go. Things 379 00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:14,720 Speaker 1: change daily, things change weekly, So we were always kind 380 00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:16,480 Speaker 1: of just flying by the seat of our pants there. 381 00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:18,360 Speaker 1: So I don't know if I I'd have to go 382 00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:20,840 Speaker 1: back and really look at what we did our calendar, 383 00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:22,920 Speaker 1: how what kind of use we got to. I think 384 00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:25,400 Speaker 1: it made everybody a lot more organized as coaches because 385 00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:27,120 Speaker 1: you're at home all the time, you have all you 386 00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:29,680 Speaker 1: have is video, and so we all got our cutups 387 00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:32,240 Speaker 1: in order and things like that, the teach tapes together. 388 00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:34,800 Speaker 1: But yeah, I really i'd really have to go back 389 00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:36,560 Speaker 1: and look at that. 390 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:40,880 Speaker 4: Everybody lose from what do the quarterbacks do? Like I 391 00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:42,760 Speaker 4: do you want them to make sure they take like 392 00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:44,840 Speaker 4: a two or three week break whether there's no football 393 00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:47,000 Speaker 4: or not talking or thinking about it at all. 394 00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:48,640 Speaker 1: We kind of We more so just give them a 395 00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:50,800 Speaker 1: plan of like, here's what you need to improve on 396 00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:52,880 Speaker 1: throughout Here's what we'd like to see when you get 397 00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:54,960 Speaker 1: back for training camp. Now, how they go about that's 398 00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:56,920 Speaker 1: different for each guy. Some guys want to go off 399 00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:59,320 Speaker 1: and train with their quarterback coach. Some guys stick around here, 400 00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:02,040 Speaker 1: work out here. You'll talk here and there and play 401 00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:04,199 Speaker 1: golf with them, whatever it is. Some guys just go 402 00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:06,600 Speaker 1: off on vacation. But for the most part, here's what 403 00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:08,680 Speaker 1: we expect you to be ready for when training camp 404 00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:08,960 Speaker 1: hits
