1 00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:05,320 Speaker 1: Hey, Mike, long time. How are you? Oh, Aaron, we 2 00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:11,560 Speaker 1: got a muted buddy, Mike, you're muted. I gotta get 3 00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:13,440 Speaker 1: back in the hang of this all right. We won't 4 00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:15,280 Speaker 1: make that same like flag on the play joke that 5 00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:19,480 Speaker 1: we all do. So we're moving on. Um, Mike, Uh, 6 00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:22,720 Speaker 1: you know, I know it was just three days, but um, 7 00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:25,119 Speaker 1: rookie mini caamp with Jack and Marcus. I don't know 8 00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:27,160 Speaker 1: how much Marcus was able to participate. What would you 9 00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:30,560 Speaker 1: learn from those guys over the weekend? Uh, you know, 10 00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:33,000 Speaker 1: like it is with every rookie minicamp, we got a 11 00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:35,640 Speaker 1: long way to go. M You know, they were just 12 00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:39,479 Speaker 1: coming in from being college from college, so rookies genuinely 13 00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:42,800 Speaker 1: just take more time to get going here. So you know, 14 00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:46,160 Speaker 1: we'll be uh working. Hopefully we get to the same 15 00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:49,000 Speaker 1: pace and we'll see how it goes. Um going back 16 00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:50,840 Speaker 1: a little bit because they know, you know, as coaches, 17 00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:52,720 Speaker 1: you guys are very involved in the scouting process. And 18 00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:54,520 Speaker 1: we talked to you last year just about Sean Wade. 19 00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:56,120 Speaker 1: How you got to know him before he came here. 20 00:00:56,680 --> 00:01:00,920 Speaker 1: What was your involvement like in scouting Jack and or Marcus, 21 00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:04,920 Speaker 1: you know, to whatever degree. No, A lot of names 22 00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:06,720 Speaker 1: come across the desk, so you try and look at 23 00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:08,400 Speaker 1: all of them, every single one that they give. You 24 00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:12,240 Speaker 1: give your opinion on them. My opinion on those guys. 25 00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:16,200 Speaker 1: I like them both. Obviously they're here. So you know, 26 00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:19,680 Speaker 1: everybody did a really good job from the scouting department, 27 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,600 Speaker 1: you know, everybody that was involved in the looking at 28 00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:25,240 Speaker 1: all the corners to their regions and stuff like that. 29 00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:28,640 Speaker 1: So we got two good ones. Excited about that or there. 30 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:34,039 Speaker 1: Did you travel to see either of them? Did not travel? 31 00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:35,720 Speaker 1: What are you asking if I want on vacation Andrew 32 00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:37,880 Speaker 1: were talking about, well, you know, I would get to 33 00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:40,080 Speaker 1: Arizona State, you know, if I could for a little bit, 34 00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:41,880 Speaker 1: or Houston. But I was up here to hold them. 35 00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:44,320 Speaker 1: I would love to. I would love to travel to 36 00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:47,520 Speaker 1: all those places to be tough. Yeah, thanks Mike, Yeah, 37 00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:51,120 Speaker 1: no problem. We'll go to Evan and Lazara. Go ahead. Evan, Hey, 38 00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:55,240 Speaker 1: Mike Kasagan, Evan the dB specialist of the media people. 39 00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:58,400 Speaker 1: What's up? Oh wow, thank you, that's that's high praise. 40 00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:01,320 Speaker 1: I appreciate that. I wanted to ask you just as 41 00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:04,560 Speaker 1: a general sense. Um, you know, Marcus and Jack are 42 00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:07,840 Speaker 1: a little bit smaller guys. Um that that play corner. 43 00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:12,000 Speaker 1: Is it coaching any different for you in terms of 44 00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:15,480 Speaker 1: how you coach that into their game or do you 45 00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:17,480 Speaker 1: kind of just trust that they know how to work 46 00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:20,560 Speaker 1: with what they got. I have a great question. You know, 47 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:23,160 Speaker 1: I don't coach anybody the same, So each person is 48 00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:26,280 Speaker 1: their own person, their own They all play differently, so 49 00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:28,639 Speaker 1: you got to coach them all differently. You know, you 50 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:30,799 Speaker 1: can't fit a square peg in a roundhole, right, so 51 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:34,120 Speaker 1: obviously you got to go about each guy with you know, 52 00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:37,960 Speaker 1: a certain mentality. You know, whether it's size, mental capacity, 53 00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:40,839 Speaker 1: or you know, speed, right, all that stuff out there. 54 00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:44,240 Speaker 1: You know, you need to kind of address them individually. 55 00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:49,600 Speaker 1: All right, Thank you? Yeah, no, bro, I don't see 56 00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:51,800 Speaker 1: any other hands raised. Please raise your hand if you 57 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:55,880 Speaker 1: have a question. Is that you're trying to raise your hand? Phil? Yep, 58 00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:01,680 Speaker 1: go ahead, Phil. Thanks Aaron, Bike, how are you? What's up? 59 00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:04,680 Speaker 1: How are you doing? I'm doing well. I just to 60 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:08,320 Speaker 1: kind of fall up on Evans question. Uh, you guys, 61 00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:11,040 Speaker 1: You guys do have a number of corners that I 62 00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:15,600 Speaker 1: think maybe the general populace would say is undersized between 63 00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:20,440 Speaker 1: the the rookie Joneses and John Jones and Miles Bryant, 64 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:24,520 Speaker 1: do you feel like, as a coach at that position, 65 00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:27,040 Speaker 1: you need to have a variety of different bodies on 66 00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:31,000 Speaker 1: the field simultaneously there or could those guys play together 67 00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 1: all at the same time. Best guys will play. That's 68 00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:39,920 Speaker 1: how that works. But when you're looking at matchups and 69 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:41,520 Speaker 1: things of that nature, I mean, how much does the 70 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:46,480 Speaker 1: physical aspect factor into it? Mike? Best guy plays is 71 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:52,040 Speaker 1: what it is. Okay, size has nothing to do with it. 72 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:55,560 Speaker 1: Best guy plays. Well, you got some bigger guys too, right, 73 00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:58,560 Speaker 1: got some big guys, right, But at the end of 74 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:00,920 Speaker 1: the day, all right, we're trying to win football games. 75 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:04,080 Speaker 1: Best guy is gonna play. Best three, best four, best five. 76 00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:05,840 Speaker 1: You gotta rotate five guys in a game. You gotta 77 00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:09,760 Speaker 1: rotate four, right, best guys will play. Right, If you're 78 00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:11,600 Speaker 1: a good football player, you're gonna find yourself on a 79 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:15,560 Speaker 1: football field. Great. Not trying to be short, it's just 80 00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:18,680 Speaker 1: that's generally, that's my philosophy. That's how I feel bad. Hey, 81 00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,760 Speaker 1: it makes sense. You want good players on the field. 82 00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:26,240 Speaker 1: I get it. We're gonna go to Matt and then 83 00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:30,960 Speaker 1: Andrew right after Matt. Go ahead, Matt, Well is it 84 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,320 Speaker 1: is the best guy in one in in one situation 85 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:35,560 Speaker 1: when you're going again, when you're covering one guy the 86 00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:39,440 Speaker 1: same as another does and does the size of a 87 00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:44,400 Speaker 1: receiver determine who's might determine who the best guy is 88 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:48,800 Speaker 1: in a situation? Hey, Matt, So you know I kind 89 00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:52,760 Speaker 1: of already answered that. You know, you're it's kind of 90 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:55,800 Speaker 1: essentially answering your own question. Like based on the game, 91 00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,719 Speaker 1: each game is different, Like every player is different, right, 92 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,880 Speaker 1: So if there's a best matchup to cover a guy, 93 00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:05,479 Speaker 1: the best guy will play, right, whether it's size, speed, 94 00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:08,520 Speaker 1: you know, the best guy for that matchup is going 95 00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:12,279 Speaker 1: to go out there and play. That makes sense for 96 00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:14,520 Speaker 1: for you guys as you as you're you're bringing in 97 00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:17,039 Speaker 1: some some new guys to the staff that are old 98 00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:20,160 Speaker 1: guys from the staff. How how much easier is it 99 00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:24,080 Speaker 1: from a transition standpoint to have guys that know the system, 100 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:27,719 Speaker 1: that know the terminology, that know what the expectations are 101 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,599 Speaker 1: here that when when guys like that committed, is it 102 00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:33,280 Speaker 1: just does it feel kind of like like everybody is 103 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:35,360 Speaker 1: just this kind of picking up what they left off 104 00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:40,560 Speaker 1: to a certain degree? Another good question, Matt, I would say, 105 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:44,000 Speaker 1: you know, guys that have been here, um that come back, 106 00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:46,520 Speaker 1: you know, generally, like you say, have a little bit 107 00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:49,919 Speaker 1: of a head start on what's expected of them. But 108 00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:53,000 Speaker 1: I would say no one really comes here without understanding 109 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:56,080 Speaker 1: or have heard from somebody else like what the expectations are. 110 00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:58,320 Speaker 1: So I think everyone comes in here with that hard 111 00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:01,760 Speaker 1: work mentality, that grind it out mantality. They know what 112 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,359 Speaker 1: they're walking into before they come into the building. So 113 00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:06,440 Speaker 1: I don't think we have any issues with that here. 114 00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:10,359 Speaker 1: You know, I'm blessed. I got a bunch of guys 115 00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:14,920 Speaker 1: in the room that absolutely truly love football, and I 116 00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,480 Speaker 1: love that. It makes it fun for me to come 117 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:19,960 Speaker 1: to work every day. I have these guys asking questions, 118 00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:23,560 Speaker 1: wanting you know, extra work here or there, you know, 119 00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:27,200 Speaker 1: asking you know, not just what or how, but why 120 00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:30,039 Speaker 1: to do things. It makes my job a lot of fun. 121 00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:34,600 Speaker 1: Me and Brian have a great time in the dB room. 122 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:38,360 Speaker 1: Hopefully that'll answer your question. Man, Thank you, and we'll 123 00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:41,560 Speaker 1: probably have time for this last question here, go ahead, Andrew, 124 00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:45,240 Speaker 1: Andrew's back. I'm back, Mike. I couldn't I couldn't leave you. Um, 125 00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:47,279 Speaker 1: So last week we all make a big deal about 126 00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:49,600 Speaker 1: the schedule. It's super hyped up. The league boards a 127 00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 1: ton of money into it, it's live TV. I'm curious, 128 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:54,040 Speaker 1: when you first get that schedule, what's the first thing 129 00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 1: that just kind of catches your out. I'm just trying 130 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:01,960 Speaker 1: to get to OTAs. Man, everybody's good in this league. 131 00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:04,720 Speaker 1: You start, you get caught up on one guy or 132 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:08,200 Speaker 1: one team, or you know, matchups or whatnot. You're gonna 133 00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:10,200 Speaker 1: lose focus. You gotta take it one game at a time. 134 00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:14,000 Speaker 1: So get to OTAs, work on our fundamentals, then worry 135 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,280 Speaker 1: about the schedule later. And Mike, when you get to 136 00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:20,640 Speaker 1: are you still gonna be coaching corners? WHOA? This is 137 00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:26,080 Speaker 1: a good question, you'll see.
