1 00:00:30,119 --> 00:00:32,319 Speaker 1: The big stories yesterday is when you know, Alex sort 2 00:00:32,319 --> 00:00:35,519 Speaker 1: of said I was talking most about Marcus Jones, you know, 3 00:00:35,599 --> 00:00:37,039 Speaker 1: playing offense a little bit, and he said, well, you know, 4 00:00:37,079 --> 00:00:38,879 Speaker 1: he didn't he didn't know Marcus playing offense. I think 5 00:00:38,879 --> 00:00:40,239 Speaker 1: a lot of people were like, well, there's some people 6 00:00:40,239 --> 00:00:43,278 Speaker 1: I obviously in the building and Dry yourself, some other coaches, and. 7 00:00:43,439 --> 00:00:45,398 Speaker 2: I guess one of the things is like, why why 8 00:00:45,439 --> 00:00:46,119 Speaker 2: didn't it come up? 9 00:00:46,239 --> 00:00:48,279 Speaker 1: You know, you know in the off season, you know 10 00:00:48,278 --> 00:00:50,559 Speaker 1: about Marcus playing offense, and sort of from your perspective, 11 00:00:50,559 --> 00:00:52,078 Speaker 1: you know what led to it happening? 12 00:00:53,119 --> 00:00:55,719 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I think you know, for Marcus was 13 00:00:55,759 --> 00:00:57,759 Speaker 3: coming back after last season. I think the focus was 14 00:00:57,799 --> 00:00:59,599 Speaker 3: just him as like as a defensive layer and that's 15 00:00:59,599 --> 00:01:01,599 Speaker 3: probamarily what he is was a return guy, and so 16 00:01:03,439 --> 00:01:05,759 Speaker 3: that's really all all it was was just we were 17 00:01:05,799 --> 00:01:07,958 Speaker 3: focused with him as a team I would say, probably 18 00:01:08,519 --> 00:01:11,079 Speaker 3: in that role. And then you know, as the season's progress, 19 00:01:11,119 --> 00:01:13,078 Speaker 3: it's it's opening up some other opportunities for him. 20 00:01:13,479 --> 00:01:15,559 Speaker 2: Is that something you'd like to like as a receivers coach? 21 00:01:15,559 --> 00:01:16,759 Speaker 2: Would you like to explore that more? 22 00:01:16,799 --> 00:01:18,319 Speaker 1: I mean, I know you were here in twenty twenty 23 00:01:18,359 --> 00:01:21,079 Speaker 1: two and he had like was the last five games 24 00:01:21,079 --> 00:01:24,159 Speaker 1: he played, had that one explosive play against the Bills. 25 00:01:24,079 --> 00:01:27,559 Speaker 3: Right, So yeah, yeah, Marcus is a guy that they 26 00:01:27,559 --> 00:01:29,479 Speaker 3: can help our team. I mean, he's he's proven that 27 00:01:29,519 --> 00:01:31,758 Speaker 3: he's you know, able to make good plays when he's 28 00:01:31,759 --> 00:01:33,958 Speaker 3: given an opportunity. And so you know, we'll see what 29 00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:35,518 Speaker 3: that looks like over the course of the season for 30 00:01:35,559 --> 00:01:38,039 Speaker 3: the rest of the year. But you know, again, he's 31 00:01:38,039 --> 00:01:39,878 Speaker 3: a he's a he's a good player. He's he's helped 32 00:01:39,879 --> 00:01:41,839 Speaker 3: this as a return guy. He's obviously a good cover guy. 33 00:01:41,919 --> 00:01:43,759 Speaker 3: So he's a talented guy. We'll find a way to 34 00:01:43,919 --> 00:01:45,559 Speaker 3: kind of get him in the mix somehow, some way. 35 00:01:47,679 --> 00:01:50,639 Speaker 4: Kendrick Bourne didn't play two weeks ago, comes back and 36 00:01:50,799 --> 00:01:52,719 Speaker 4: he's pretty evolved last week. Just what did you see 37 00:01:52,719 --> 00:01:55,079 Speaker 4: from him his approach over the last two weeks. 38 00:01:54,959 --> 00:01:55,519 Speaker 2: Through all of that. 39 00:01:56,799 --> 00:01:59,719 Speaker 3: Well, he's a good professional and he's a good teammate, 40 00:01:59,759 --> 00:02:02,479 Speaker 3: and so I think, uh, you know, he just came 41 00:02:02,519 --> 00:02:05,879 Speaker 3: back ready to roll Hungary. You know, whatever opportunities you 42 00:02:05,919 --> 00:02:07,519 Speaker 3: know he was going to have, he was going to 43 00:02:07,519 --> 00:02:09,599 Speaker 3: take advantage of him, which he which he certainly did. 44 00:02:10,999 --> 00:02:12,518 Speaker 3: You know, he's a guy that's been through a lot 45 00:02:12,519 --> 00:02:15,359 Speaker 3: in the league. He's he's played for several years and 46 00:02:15,358 --> 00:02:17,919 Speaker 3: and so you know, the expectation for everybody is that 47 00:02:17,959 --> 00:02:20,759 Speaker 3: they always get themselves ready to go whatever their role is, 48 00:02:20,879 --> 00:02:22,479 Speaker 3: and then when your numbers called that you you know, 49 00:02:22,559 --> 00:02:24,999 Speaker 3: you step forward and fulfill whatever responsibilities might have. 50 00:02:25,079 --> 00:02:26,918 Speaker 5: And he did that last week. He did a really 51 00:02:26,918 --> 00:02:28,038 Speaker 5: good job, played well. 52 00:02:28,319 --> 00:02:31,199 Speaker 4: It was good to see for this week sense anything different, 53 00:02:31,239 --> 00:02:32,439 Speaker 4: you know, going back to Miami where he. 54 00:02:32,399 --> 00:02:33,999 Speaker 2: Got hurt last year. He told us this week he 55 00:02:34,079 --> 00:02:34,638 Speaker 2: might go, you. 56 00:02:34,559 --> 00:02:38,439 Speaker 4: Know, talk to the spine, he said, any kind of 57 00:02:38,439 --> 00:02:40,959 Speaker 4: different different energy from him with it going back to Miami. 58 00:02:42,679 --> 00:02:43,519 Speaker 5: Not necessarily. 59 00:02:43,559 --> 00:02:46,839 Speaker 3: I mean, I think he's you know, focused obviously on 60 00:02:46,999 --> 00:02:49,199 Speaker 3: just getting ready to play this week. And I know 61 00:02:49,279 --> 00:02:52,239 Speaker 3: for him that was you know, an emotional time and 62 00:02:52,279 --> 00:02:54,239 Speaker 3: you get hurt, and you know, on a serious injury, 63 00:02:54,279 --> 00:02:57,399 Speaker 3: it's tough on any player. And so but he's worked 64 00:02:57,399 --> 00:02:59,919 Speaker 3: really hard to get himself back and you know we've 65 00:02:59,919 --> 00:03:01,639 Speaker 3: see that for the rest kind of through the off season, 66 00:03:01,719 --> 00:03:05,159 Speaker 3: through the season now and you know, again, I think 67 00:03:05,159 --> 00:03:07,639 Speaker 3: he's just really focused on our team playing well this 68 00:03:07,679 --> 00:03:10,279 Speaker 3: week and for him playing well, and that's you know, 69 00:03:10,839 --> 00:03:12,198 Speaker 3: the way that I see it anyway. 70 00:03:12,279 --> 00:03:13,199 Speaker 2: One goes line Jude. 71 00:03:13,319 --> 00:03:15,919 Speaker 6: You know, Alex mentioned that Kendrick was out one week 72 00:03:15,959 --> 00:03:18,078 Speaker 6: and then kind of believing we see what the next 73 00:03:18,079 --> 00:03:20,359 Speaker 6: Does that present challenges for you in the group that 74 00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:22,839 Speaker 6: you know it can be anybody? Or is that a 75 00:03:22,839 --> 00:03:24,918 Speaker 6: good thing that it can be anybody? I mean, would 76 00:03:24,959 --> 00:03:25,439 Speaker 6: you rather. 77 00:03:25,319 --> 00:03:27,039 Speaker 2: Have that number one guy that you can rely on 78 00:03:27,199 --> 00:03:28,999 Speaker 2: or for strengthening numbers? 79 00:03:29,199 --> 00:03:33,199 Speaker 3: You know, Coach Mayo emphasizes the competition all the time 80 00:03:33,359 --> 00:03:35,039 Speaker 3: for the guys. So I think it's good and healthy 81 00:03:35,079 --> 00:03:38,039 Speaker 3: for guys to be competing and always, you know, feeling 82 00:03:38,079 --> 00:03:40,319 Speaker 3: like they got to continue to push each other, and 83 00:03:40,319 --> 00:03:42,399 Speaker 3: and I think that brings out the best and and 84 00:03:42,599 --> 00:03:43,479 Speaker 3: players brings up the. 85 00:03:43,439 --> 00:03:44,959 Speaker 5: Best in coaches is to compete. 86 00:03:46,319 --> 00:03:48,759 Speaker 3: I think for for Kendrick, I mean again, he just 87 00:03:49,079 --> 00:03:50,519 Speaker 3: needed to have himself ready to go, and I think 88 00:03:50,559 --> 00:03:51,759 Speaker 3: all the guys kind of the same thing. They just 89 00:03:51,759 --> 00:03:54,719 Speaker 3: always need to have themselves ready to go. The professional players, 90 00:03:54,719 --> 00:03:56,599 Speaker 3: that's the expectation. They know that, and they and they 91 00:03:56,639 --> 00:03:59,559 Speaker 3: believe in that. And so we'll just continue to push 92 00:03:59,559 --> 00:04:00,799 Speaker 3: them as they go forward through the rest of. 93 00:04:00,759 --> 00:04:02,719 Speaker 6: The year to put more on your plate though, to 94 00:04:02,799 --> 00:04:05,639 Speaker 6: sort of not necessarily know which guy is going to 95 00:04:05,639 --> 00:04:06,519 Speaker 6: be the guy from week to. 96 00:04:06,519 --> 00:04:08,159 Speaker 2: Week or is it do it gets hotter on Drake? 97 00:04:10,279 --> 00:04:12,039 Speaker 5: You know, I think I just speaking for me. 98 00:04:12,119 --> 00:04:14,919 Speaker 3: I mean I think that, you know, we always want 99 00:04:14,919 --> 00:04:16,719 Speaker 3: to have consistency, but at the same time, I do 100 00:04:16,799 --> 00:04:18,439 Speaker 3: I do think competition is healthy, and so I just 101 00:04:18,438 --> 00:04:19,959 Speaker 3: find out a balance between the two things. 102 00:04:20,479 --> 00:04:22,878 Speaker 7: Coach Mayo kind of a put John Baker on the 103 00:04:22,879 --> 00:04:26,239 Speaker 7: spot one day, I wonder, what what's your what's your 104 00:04:26,558 --> 00:04:28,719 Speaker 7: what's your review about East department throughout. 105 00:04:28,479 --> 00:04:29,559 Speaker 2: The first half of the season. 106 00:04:31,119 --> 00:04:32,919 Speaker 3: You know, he's he's been a guy that for me. 107 00:04:33,318 --> 00:04:35,919 Speaker 3: I mean, you know, he's good.

Now he's taxed some weeks. What 214 00:08:34,919 --> 00:08:36,999 Speaker 11: kind of progression he seemed from him? Like you get 215 00:08:36,999 --> 00:08:38,759 Speaker 11: those reps, what are the things that come along the 216 00:08:38,839 --> 00:08:40,279 Speaker 11: quickest with that kind of experience. 217 00:08:40,439 --> 00:08:42,118 Speaker 10: I mean, you know, Ben didn't didn't have a ton 218 00:08:42,159 --> 00:08:44,039 Speaker 10: of like in game playing experience. 219 00:08:43,759 --> 00:08:45,599 Speaker 2: Prior to getting here. Prior to getting here, but he, uh, 220 00:08:46,119 --> 00:08:48,078 Speaker 2: you know, he has the physical traits and tools that you. 221 00:08:48,078 --> 00:08:50,039 Speaker 10: Want and what he does, he's he's done a good 222 00:08:50,119 --> 00:08:53,319 Speaker 10: job of advancing each week, you know, so you know, adding. 223 00:08:52,999 --> 00:08:55,919 Speaker 2: New tools to his his game has been good. 224 00:08:55,958 --> 00:08:58,759 Speaker 10: You know, when you get here, obviously the the middle 225 00:08:58,799 --> 00:09:01,838 Speaker 10: of the season without having any experience, you're you're kind 226 00:09:01,839 --> 00:09:04,239 Speaker 10: of keyed in on the mental aspect of it, making 227 00:09:04,279 --> 00:09:07,159 Speaker 10: sure you get the exchange right, the ball again comes 228 00:09:07,239 --> 00:09:09,079 Speaker 10: up and you get the guys in the right place. Now, 229 00:09:09,079 --> 00:09:10,799 Speaker 10: it's like taking his game to the next level. As 230 00:09:10,799 --> 00:09:12,559 Speaker 10: far as technique goes pretty impressive. 231 00:09:12,599 --> 00:09:14,679 Speaker 11: Like they haven't really had issues with the snap. I mean, 232 00:09:14,719 --> 00:09:16,319 Speaker 11: we saw some of the summers you guys are working 233 00:09:16,359 --> 00:09:16,999 Speaker 11: guys in and stuff. 234 00:09:16,999 --> 00:09:18,239 Speaker 2: But he's been pretty consistent with that. 235 00:09:18,639 --> 00:09:21,519 Speaker 10: Knock on wood, he's been consistent with it. But but 236 00:09:21,599 --> 00:09:24,479 Speaker 10: Ben's played center for the most most part of his career, right, 237 00:09:24,519 --> 00:09:26,719 Speaker 10: so that's what he is. So that helps. And I 238 00:09:26,759 --> 00:09:28,199 Speaker 10: think you know, some of the guys we had in 239 00:09:28,279 --> 00:09:31,039 Speaker 10: camp moving in that in and out of center. You know, 240 00:09:31,119 --> 00:09:32,959 Speaker 10: you you want to have that. 241 00:09:32,799 --> 00:09:34,919 Speaker 2: Rapport with the quarterback, which for sure, he's he's done 242 00:09:34,999 --> 00:09:35,719 Speaker 2: done well thus far. 243 00:09:35,879 --> 00:09:37,839 Speaker 9: Yeah, we've talked a lot about Cole as a center, 244 00:09:37,839 --> 00:09:39,599 Speaker 9: but are you guys still working in a card as well? 245 00:09:40,039 --> 00:09:41,559 Speaker 2: For right now, just kind of working them at center 246 00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:44,159 Speaker 2: because it's a new progression for him. But absolutely, I 247 00:09:44,159 --> 00:09:45,479 Speaker 2: mean he'll play, he'll play both. 248 00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:47,879 Speaker 10: But but the thought was to kind of get get 249 00:09:47,879 --> 00:09:49,319 Speaker 10: a ball in his hand and see how he how 250 00:09:49,359 --> 00:09:49,719 Speaker 10: he looks. 251 00:09:50,199 --> 00:09:52,719 Speaker 9: It's kind of silly to ask because most teams don't 252 00:09:52,719 --> 00:09:55,159 Speaker 9: have as much turnover on their offensive line. But what's 253 00:09:55,239 --> 00:09:58,439 Speaker 9: most beneficial about having the same offensive line together two 254 00:09:58,559 --> 00:09:59,519 Speaker 9: three weeks in a row? 255 00:09:59,999 --> 00:10:00,719 Speaker 2: I mean everything? 256 00:10:00,959 --> 00:10:04,959 Speaker 10: Uh, you start to get comfortable and continuity where combination 257 00:10:05,079 --> 00:10:07,119 Speaker 10: blocks start to look better. Guys know how they play 258 00:10:07,119 --> 00:10:10,039 Speaker 10: with each other, and then and then in past protection, uh, 259 00:10:10,119 --> 00:10:12,279 Speaker 10: you know how they set versus stunts things like that. 260 00:10:12,359 --> 00:10:14,599 Speaker 10: If you get a new guy in there who doesn't 261 00:10:14,599 --> 00:10:16,679 Speaker 10: have the exposure, I think it's a repetition as well. 262 00:10:16,719 --> 00:10:19,519 Speaker 10: So getting you know, more reps and time and games, 263 00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:21,959 Speaker 10: you know, you learn and obviously the. 264 00:10:21,799 --> 00:10:24,079 Speaker 2: More you play, the hope is the more you learn. 265 00:10:24,479 --> 00:10:25,759 Speaker 2: And then each each time you know. 266 00:10:25,759 --> 00:10:27,958 Speaker 10: You hope that the guys progress, So I think having 267 00:10:28,159 --> 00:10:31,159 Speaker 10: having more exposures in game, because most of the guys 268 00:10:31,199 --> 00:10:33,999 Speaker 10: we have haven't had a whole lot of playing experience 269 00:10:34,039 --> 00:10:36,279 Speaker 10: prior to this year. So then it's like, well, they 270 00:10:36,279 --> 00:10:37,959 Speaker 10: don't have experience, but now they do, so it's like, 271 00:10:38,039 --> 00:10:39,399 Speaker 10: you know, you want to I want to see him 272 00:10:39,359 --> 00:10:40,999 Speaker 10: advanced that way, and I'm proud of the way the 273 00:10:40,999 --> 00:10:43,239 Speaker 10: guys at least are approaching things.

So it's it's 332 00:12:41,119 --> 00:12:43,719 Speaker 10: a he's making you know, I'm proud of an excited 333 00:12:43,759 --> 00:12:46,799 Speaker 10: for him. Hopefully he'll he'll kind of continue to grow 334 00:12:46,839 --> 00:12:49,959 Speaker 10: and and and you know, get back and where he 335 00:12:49,999 --> 00:12:50,359 Speaker 10: needs to be. 336 00:12:50,479 --> 00:12:50,999 Speaker 5: It seems like. 337 00:12:50,959 --> 00:12:52,519 Speaker 1: Mike's sort of been locked in their right guard that 338 00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:55,279 Speaker 1: you guys really like him there with Leyden Robinson played 339 00:12:55,279 --> 00:12:57,439 Speaker 1: I think almost exclusively right guard in college. Is he 340 00:12:57,479 --> 00:12:59,119 Speaker 1: a player that you want to get more experience on 341 00:12:59,119 --> 00:13:00,119 Speaker 1: the left side to give you. 342 00:13:00,079 --> 00:13:00,679 Speaker 2: That option too. 343 00:13:00,719 --> 00:13:00,999 Speaker 12: He is. 344 00:13:01,359 --> 00:13:03,119 Speaker 10: You know, if you're not in the starting lineup, you 345 00:13:03,119 --> 00:13:05,519 Speaker 10: got to kind of play multiple positions. So with Leyden 346 00:13:06,399 --> 00:13:07,999 Speaker 10: as a rookie, you know, you want to try to 347 00:13:07,999 --> 00:13:10,039 Speaker 10: isolate him a little bit where he can learn and 348 00:13:10,119 --> 00:13:12,519 Speaker 10: grow at one spot. But but again, if you're up 349 00:13:12,519 --> 00:13:14,639 Speaker 10: and active for the game, you got to play multiple spots. 350 00:13:14,639 --> 00:13:17,679 Speaker 10: So he's been worked in at multiple spots that way, 351 00:13:17,839 --> 00:13:20,959 Speaker 10: at left guard as well, so he's improving as well. 352 00:13:21,959 --> 00:13:24,599 Speaker 12: So I wanted to ask you It might be anecdotal 353 00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:27,239 Speaker 12: on my part, but it feels like there's maybe fewer 354 00:13:27,279 --> 00:13:30,119 Speaker 12: of those like longer developing plays behind the line of scrimmage, 355 00:13:30,599 --> 00:13:32,679 Speaker 12: seven steppers, you know, those types of things that we 356 00:13:32,759 --> 00:13:34,639 Speaker 12: maybe seen out of this offense in the past. Was 357 00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:37,679 Speaker 12: that is that true? Is that on purpose at all? 358 00:13:37,799 --> 00:13:40,839 Speaker 10: Or you know, I don't know if that's true. I 359 00:13:40,839 --> 00:13:43,838 Speaker 10: don't know if that's true. I think perhaps the ball 360 00:13:43,879 --> 00:13:46,919 Speaker 10: comes out sooner. Yeah, but you know that that's always 361 00:13:46,919 --> 00:13:49,359 Speaker 10: a case by case basis. Yeah, so we haven't we 362 00:13:49,399 --> 00:13:51,199 Speaker 10: haven't really limited the offense. 363 00:13:51,239 --> 00:13:52,079 Speaker 2: If that's what we're asking. 364 00:13:52,239 --> 00:13:55,079 Speaker 12: No, Yeah, I'm just wondering, you know, from coaching around 365 00:13:55,079 --> 00:13:57,838 Speaker 12: things and obviously having the quarterback change and things like that, 366 00:13:57,959 --> 00:14:00,079 Speaker 12: not as so much as like a limited bit, just 367 00:14:00,439 --> 00:14:03,559 Speaker 12: more like scheming around stuff that has come up over 368 00:14:03,599 --> 00:14:04,399 Speaker 12: the course of the season. 369 00:14:04,519 --> 00:14:05,199 Speaker 2: I wouldn't say so. 370 00:14:05,239 --> 00:14:07,439 Speaker 10: I think we were just actually, you know, I think 371 00:14:07,439 --> 00:14:10,679 Speaker 10: we're we're continually adding things to the offense. 372 00:14:10,799 --> 00:14:11,959 Speaker 2: You know, we're just taking away. 373 00:14:13,479 --> 00:14:15,599 Speaker 13: Should we go around the circle and go turbo hot 374 00:14:15,639 --> 00:14:17,319 Speaker 13: and see you as the best turbo hot here? 375 00:14:17,319 --> 00:14:20,199 Speaker 2: Oh boy, yeah, we can't see that. So I'm sure 376 00:14:20,199 --> 00:14:22,639 Speaker 2: you guys noticed my tooth is missing, so it's not bad. 377 00:14:22,719 --> 00:14:26,959 Speaker 10: Well, last time we played the Miami ut I got 378 00:14:27,799 --> 00:14:30,919 Speaker 10: got a shot in the face with the helmet, so yeah, 379 00:14:31,439 --> 00:14:33,759 Speaker 10: Ramsey hit me in the face and the side crashing, 380 00:14:34,119 --> 00:14:34,799 Speaker 10: so yeah, it. 381 00:14:34,799 --> 00:14:35,359 Speaker 9: Was on purpose. 382 00:14:35,679 --> 00:14:36,319 Speaker 2: It was on purpose. 383 00:14:38,199 --> 00:14:40,079 Speaker 10: Everybody's gotta be careful, you guys gotta be careful on 384 00:14:40,079 --> 00:14:42,679 Speaker 10: the field.

So it's really just a 421 00:15:51,919 --> 00:15:55,719 Speaker 10: function of understanding the rules and and being conscientious every place. 422 00:15:55,759 --> 00:15:58,119 Speaker 10: So if the guys step on the line, usually the 423 00:15:58,159 --> 00:16:01,359 Speaker 10: officials give you a warning and a warning was made. 424 00:16:01,519 --> 00:16:04,679 Speaker 10: And it's really on on more than just the tackles. 425 00:16:04,679 --> 00:16:08,479 Speaker 10: It's on the guards. Sometimes they don't can't see the reference, 426 00:16:08,479 --> 00:16:10,279 Speaker 10: which is the rear end of the center. You've got 427 00:16:10,279 --> 00:16:11,919 Speaker 10: to make sure your hat, your helmet is at least 428 00:16:11,959 --> 00:16:16,959 Speaker 10: overlapping that in order to stay legal. Because actually put 429 00:16:16,959 --> 00:16:18,239 Speaker 10: his hand up after. 430 00:16:18,279 --> 00:16:18,879 Speaker 2: I told him to. 431 00:16:18,919 --> 00:16:21,159 Speaker 10: I said, hey, you just check with the official, you know, 432 00:16:21,279 --> 00:16:23,039 Speaker 10: if you're not sure, just check and get a clearance, 433 00:16:23,079 --> 00:16:26,079 Speaker 10: you know, because that way, you know, trying to prevent interstate. 434 00:16:26,159 --> 00:16:26,319 Speaker 5: Sure. 435 00:16:27,239 --> 00:16:28,239 Speaker 2: Thanks guys, appreciate it. 436 00:16:29,199 --> 00:16:32,119 Speaker 15: Gets your take on Joe, We just progressed over the 437 00:16:32,119 --> 00:16:34,119 Speaker 15: first of this season. I imagine he's taken a lot 438 00:16:34,119 --> 00:16:35,759 Speaker 15: of We just talked to Jerd about it, but imagine 439 00:16:35,799 --> 00:16:39,079 Speaker 15: he's likework just kind of his overall growth. 440 00:16:40,159 --> 00:16:42,159 Speaker 16: Yeah, I mean, Joe's done really well. He's been running 441 00:16:42,159 --> 00:16:46,079 Speaker 16: the scouts team almost every rep here, So playing well 442 00:16:46,119 --> 00:16:49,119 Speaker 16: in the field, definitely doing well in meetings, just like 443 00:16:49,159 --> 00:16:52,199 Speaker 16: with all our quarterbacks, trying to get total development, mashing 444 00:16:52,199 --> 00:16:53,999 Speaker 16: our footwar to our eyes at the time of the play, 445 00:16:54,319 --> 00:16:55,799 Speaker 16: and he's for sure gotten better and better. 446 00:16:56,439 --> 00:17:00,879 Speaker 17: How have you seen Drake's short accuracy grow? I think 447 00:17:00,919 --> 00:17:03,879 Speaker 17: coming in that was kind of something of the people's 448 00:17:03,919 --> 00:17:06,998 Speaker 17: concerns at times, but it seems like he's been pretty 449 00:17:06,999 --> 00:17:09,559 Speaker 17: deadly accurate, you know, within ten yards. 450 00:17:09,759 --> 00:17:13,719 Speaker 16: Yeah, I mean we thought he was accurate coming out. 451 00:17:13,959 --> 00:17:17,119 Speaker 16: He's got a real knack for throwing the football, whether 452 00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:19,319 Speaker 16: it's short, deep, medium, he's been pretty good at throwing 453 00:17:19,319 --> 00:17:22,839 Speaker 16: them all. But we're definitely impressed by his ability to move, 454 00:17:22,879 --> 00:17:26,999 Speaker 16: his ability to be accurate in dirty pockets when he's scrambling, 455 00:17:26,999 --> 00:17:29,279 Speaker 16: when he's moving, So all that's been really positive. 456 00:17:29,719 --> 00:17:33,199 Speaker 11: Different this offense with Drake now going up against. 457 00:17:32,879 --> 00:17:37,838 Speaker 16: Miami the second time, you know, we're doing a lot 458 00:17:37,879 --> 00:17:40,599 Speaker 16: of similar things. Drake brings a little different element the 459 00:17:40,638 --> 00:17:44,558 Speaker 16: quarterback position for sure, his ability to move, you know, 460 00:17:44,799 --> 00:17:47,879 Speaker 16: and make a lot of plays outside the structure. But 461 00:17:47,958 --> 00:17:49,998 Speaker 16: we're continuing just trying to do the same things, just 462 00:17:49,999 --> 00:17:51,559 Speaker 16: play good, clean football. 463 00:17:52,678 --> 00:17:54,798 Speaker 14: Submittedly kind of silly been asking a few people the 464 00:17:54,799 --> 00:17:57,839 Speaker 14: same question, what has been your favorite play from Drake 465 00:17:57,918 --> 00:17:59,678 Speaker 14: so far? The one that kind of makes you rewind 466 00:17:59,759 --> 00:18:02,239 Speaker 14: it a couple of times and just whether it's an 467 00:18:02,238 --> 00:18:05,398 Speaker 14: awe or whatever, kind of what your favorite play has 468 00:18:05,438 --> 00:18:05,999 Speaker 14: been so far? 469 00:18:06,879 --> 00:18:09,479 Speaker 16: My favorite play from Drake has been when we took 470 00:18:09,478 --> 00:18:12,359 Speaker 16: a need to win the game. For sure, that's been 471 00:18:12,398 --> 00:18:14,478 Speaker 16: my favorite one. But he's done a lot of good things. 472 00:18:15,999 --> 00:18:19,238 Speaker 16: There's a couple of times last week I can't get it. 473 00:18:19,319 --> 00:18:21,398 Speaker 16: I can't give you one play, but where he's I 474 00:18:21,398 --> 00:18:23,559 Speaker 16: call it staring down the barrel and there's a free 475 00:18:23,638 --> 00:18:26,999 Speaker 16: runner or there's someone coming right in his face, he's 476 00:18:26,999 --> 00:18:29,359 Speaker 16: got no flinch and he releases an accurate ball. So 477 00:18:29,398 --> 00:18:30,918 Speaker 16: those are my favorite place that I see him do, 478 00:18:31,039 --> 00:18:31,519 Speaker 16: kind of like the. 479 00:18:31,438 --> 00:18:36,039 Speaker 14: One with Toamuri Douglas on the shallow Crosser drifts right 480 00:18:36,079 --> 00:18:38,479 Speaker 14: a little bit that would fall into that bucket. 481 00:18:39,279 --> 00:18:41,718 Speaker 16: Absolutely, that wasn't the one I was thinking of, but 482 00:18:41,839 --> 00:18:45,398 Speaker 16: for sure his ability to feel the rush move and 483 00:18:45,438 --> 00:18:47,679 Speaker 16: then throw it with his eyes down field and throw 484 00:18:47,678 --> 00:18:49,918 Speaker 16: an accurate past those are those are hard things to do, 485 00:18:49,999 --> 00:18:51,638 Speaker 16: so those are definitely fun to watch too. 486 00:18:52,039 --> 00:18:54,478 Speaker 13: How would you describe Drake's leadership style. 487 00:18:57,319 --> 00:19:01,879 Speaker 16: His leadership style, I think he is coming into his 488 00:19:01,879 --> 00:19:06,198 Speaker 16: own He's gaining more confidence becoming the starting quarterback. That 489 00:19:06,238 --> 00:19:10,398 Speaker 16: allows you to, you know, be a little more outgoing 490 00:19:10,438 --> 00:19:14,279 Speaker 16: in his leadership style. But I think he just relates 491 00:19:14,279 --> 00:19:15,638 Speaker 16: to the guy as well right now. I don't think 492 00:19:15,638 --> 00:19:18,438 Speaker 16: he has to try very hard to do it. You know, 493 00:19:18,478 --> 00:19:20,198 Speaker 16: the better you play early on, the easier it is. 494 00:19:20,279 --> 00:19:22,239 Speaker 16: So we'll just keep focusing on trying to get better. 495 00:19:22,238 --> 00:19:23,278 Speaker 16: And I think that'll come naturally. 496 00:19:23,559 --> 00:19:27,039 Speaker 13: Have you observed anything where you've seen it and set 497 00:19:27,079 --> 00:19:28,599 Speaker 13: out like that's a leader. 498 00:19:30,839 --> 00:19:32,959 Speaker 16: I think naturally from the quarterback position, that thing, those 499 00:19:32,958 --> 00:19:35,998 Speaker 16: things happen a lot. It's his job to get everyone 500 00:19:36,039 --> 00:19:39,398 Speaker 16: on the same page, and so I think you see 501 00:19:39,398 --> 00:19:41,438 Speaker 16: those things a lot coming out. I think you saw 502 00:19:41,478 --> 00:19:43,678 Speaker 16: them from Jacoby, and then now that Drake's in that position, 503 00:19:43,759 --> 00:19:45,918 Speaker 16: I think it naturally happens a lot. 504 00:19:46,319 --> 00:19:48,238 Speaker 15: What are some of the unique challenges to being the 505 00:19:48,279 --> 00:19:50,678 Speaker 15: scout team quarterback. Obviously, you know you want to be 506 00:19:50,718 --> 00:19:55,839 Speaker 15: able to mirror you know, that team's opponent, the upcoming opponent, 507 00:19:55,879 --> 00:19:57,278 Speaker 15: But but what are some of the other things that 508 00:19:57,359 --> 00:19:59,438 Speaker 15: go into that that maybe we don't necessarily see over 509 00:19:59,478 --> 00:20:00,119 Speaker 15: the course of the week. 510 00:20:00,158 --> 00:20:01,519 Speaker 16: You know, I have a soft spot for Scout Team 511 00:20:01,599 --> 00:20:05,999 Speaker 16: quarterbacks because that's lifetime Scouts Team quarterback. But I think 512 00:20:05,999 --> 00:20:07,599 Speaker 16: there's a lot of things you can get better at. 513 00:20:07,638 --> 00:20:10,438 Speaker 16: Me personally, just coming into this whole thing. When you 514 00:20:10,519 --> 00:20:13,839 Speaker 16: play Scout Team, you're able to the rush is heavy 515 00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:15,638 Speaker 16: and when you have the Scout Team aligne trying to 516 00:20:15,638 --> 00:20:18,119 Speaker 16: block you know, our starting guys, Okay, the pockets are 517 00:20:18,158 --> 00:20:21,879 Speaker 16: really dirty, and you are able to develop the ability 518 00:20:21,918 --> 00:20:24,599 Speaker 16: to move around and see down the field. You don't 519 00:20:24,599 --> 00:20:27,918 Speaker 16: have to worry about getting hit, and I think developing 520 00:20:27,918 --> 00:20:29,599 Speaker 16: that skill is one of the first things I think 521 00:20:29,759 --> 00:20:32,718 Speaker 16: the Scout Team's quarterbacks can do, and I think Jone's 522 00:20:32,718 --> 00:20:34,039 Speaker 16: done a good job of that. And trust me, the 523 00:20:34,039 --> 00:20:35,879 Speaker 16: pressure is heavy down there and he's still making a 524 00:20:35,918 --> 00:20:37,839 Speaker 16: lot of plays, so it's good to watch. 525 00:20:38,319 --> 00:20:41,119 Speaker 17: Yeah, you were named on a list from NFL Network 526 00:20:41,559 --> 00:20:44,359 Speaker 17: for future like head coaches and the kind of up 527 00:20:44,398 --> 00:20:46,799 Speaker 17: and coming coaches in the league. Obviously, I know you're 528 00:20:46,839 --> 00:20:49,238 Speaker 17: focused on what's going on here, but like, do you 529 00:20:49,238 --> 00:20:52,599 Speaker 17: have aspirations down the road of maybe being an OC 530 00:20:52,879 --> 00:20:53,839 Speaker 17: or head coach in the league. 531 00:20:54,398 --> 00:20:57,678 Speaker 16: I think everyone has you know, personal aspirations to to 532 00:20:57,799 --> 00:21:01,438 Speaker 16: move on and do you know whatever your goals are, 533 00:21:01,519 --> 00:21:03,799 Speaker 16: And for sure I have those goals too. Definitely focus 534 00:21:03,879 --> 00:21:05,838 Speaker 16: on what we're doing now. And I know, I know 535 00:21:05,879 --> 00:21:07,398 Speaker 16: that it's very humbling to be on that list. But 536 00:21:07,398 --> 00:21:09,318 Speaker 16: also there's like two hundred people on the list, so 537 00:21:09,759 --> 00:21:12,199 Speaker 16: I don't know, I don't know how I feel about that, 538 00:21:12,279 --> 00:21:15,718 Speaker 16: but that's. 539 00:21:15,559 --> 00:21:16,718 Speaker 5: A good point. That's a good point. 540 00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:20,759 Speaker 13: As a quarterbacks coach, you got a coach like fundamentals technique, 541 00:21:20,759 --> 00:21:22,718 Speaker 13: and I'm wondering how much you discuss it, if at 542 00:21:22,718 --> 00:21:26,079 Speaker 13: all short yardage situation, you know, hand the ball off, 543 00:21:26,799 --> 00:21:29,318 Speaker 13: not the quarterback, to go into the huddle with a 544 00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:31,359 Speaker 13: certain energy, you're a certain like. 545 00:21:32,918 --> 00:21:34,079 Speaker 2: Let's you know, let's go. 546 00:21:34,799 --> 00:21:37,238 Speaker 13: I mean, is that even part of the conversation. 547 00:21:38,039 --> 00:21:38,158 Speaker 5: Uh. 548 00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:40,679 Speaker 16: I think definitely the moment in the game. I think 549 00:21:40,678 --> 00:21:42,959 Speaker 16: everyone's fired up. I think AVP talks to him about it. 550 00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:45,958 Speaker 16: I also think that naturally those guys are ready to go. 551 00:21:47,238 --> 00:21:49,958 Speaker 16: Those guys bring that energy naturally. I don't think you 552 00:21:49,999 --> 00:21:51,838 Speaker 16: have to coach them too much. But I think some 553 00:21:51,879 --> 00:21:55,678 Speaker 16: of that's definitely a part of going into the huddle 554 00:21:55,799 --> 00:21:57,638 Speaker 16: knowing the situation and getting the guys fired up? 555 00:21:57,999 --> 00:22:00,919 Speaker 11: What if you observed I'm not observed, but seeing her 556 00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:04,119 Speaker 11: talked about with Drake in that regard taking command of 557 00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:05,638 Speaker 11: the huddle in those situations. 558 00:22:05,678 --> 00:22:08,918 Speaker 16: We've been talking about the huddle and taking command, cadence 559 00:22:08,958 --> 00:22:12,599 Speaker 16: and all that just overall not necessarily in those situations, 560 00:22:13,559 --> 00:22:15,879 Speaker 16: but again that's comes with it. Each situation is different 561 00:22:15,918 --> 00:22:18,238 Speaker 16: and you got to be ready for all those different situations. 562 00:22:18,238 --> 00:22:21,958 Speaker 16: And Drake's again pretty natural at knowing what the guys 563 00:22:22,599 --> 00:22:23,519 Speaker 16: what gets the guys going. 564 00:22:23,599 --> 00:22:26,359 Speaker 2: So where have you seen the most growth with Drake? 565 00:22:26,398 --> 00:22:28,758 Speaker 13: May and his six starts? 566 00:22:28,799 --> 00:22:30,038 Speaker 16: The most growth. 567 00:22:31,839 --> 00:22:32,079 Speaker 14: Drake? 568 00:22:33,678 --> 00:22:37,638 Speaker 16: I think confidence. You know, he's always been a confident guy. 569 00:22:37,678 --> 00:22:39,638 Speaker 16: But until you're doing it, till you're the guy, till 570 00:22:39,638 --> 00:22:42,559 Speaker 16: you're the man at the starter, you kind of take 571 00:22:42,559 --> 00:22:44,718 Speaker 16: a back seat. And so these last six weeks he's 572 00:22:44,759 --> 00:22:48,758 Speaker 16: really stepped forward and and been the leader and the 573 00:22:48,799 --> 00:22:51,079 Speaker 16: guy we need on offense with. 574 00:22:51,198 --> 00:22:52,958 Speaker 11: Joe, is there anything that jumps up to you that 575 00:22:53,039 --> 00:22:53,638 Speaker 11: like he is. 576 00:22:53,599 --> 00:22:55,438 Speaker 2: A lot better at this now than he was when 577 00:22:55,478 --> 00:22:55,959 Speaker 2: he got here. 578 00:22:57,519 --> 00:23:00,958 Speaker 16: Colin plays in the huddle. That's a hard skill everywhere 579 00:23:00,999 --> 00:23:03,119 Speaker 16: I've ever been, you know, quarterbacks that don't call a 580 00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:04,559 Speaker 16: ton of plays in the huddle. Now he had a 581 00:23:04,599 --> 00:23:07,998 Speaker 16: little experience at Michigan, but Colin plays in the huddle. 582 00:23:07,999 --> 00:23:10,079 Speaker 16: We have long calls and you have to really study 583 00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:11,158 Speaker 16: and you really put a lot of work in and 584 00:23:11,158 --> 00:23:11,719 Speaker 16: he's done that. 585 00:23:13,519 --> 00:23:19,798 Speaker 18: Drake could talk yesterday with Hunter mentioned it off. You know, 586 00:23:19,958 --> 00:23:22,918 Speaker 18: plays where Drake is kind of scrambling, they have to 587 00:23:22,958 --> 00:23:25,879 Speaker 18: react and get on the same page. Would also sort 588 00:23:25,879 --> 00:23:27,718 Speaker 18: of stay on different levels, so they're not, you know, 589 00:23:27,799 --> 00:23:30,799 Speaker 18: running into each other. How is that It's something that 590 00:23:30,839 --> 00:23:33,159 Speaker 18: you're able to work on, like that fine line of 591 00:23:33,198 --> 00:23:36,158 Speaker 18: like we we're gonna run these plays, but also here's 592 00:23:36,198 --> 00:23:37,839 Speaker 18: what we're doing. 593 00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:40,758 Speaker 16: Yeah, I think like most offenses, we have scrambled drill rules, 594 00:23:40,918 --> 00:23:44,678 Speaker 16: and you know, as the play breaks down, there's certain 595 00:23:44,718 --> 00:23:46,759 Speaker 16: spaces that we want guys get into. And our guys 596 00:23:46,799 --> 00:23:48,478 Speaker 16: have been really good to get into those spaces and 597 00:23:48,478 --> 00:23:50,039 Speaker 16: and Drake knows where to put his eyes and find 598 00:23:50,039 --> 00:23:52,198 Speaker 16: those guys. So it's been pretty good so far. But 599 00:23:52,398 --> 00:23:54,238 Speaker 16: something you always think about and work on with a 600 00:23:54,238 --> 00:23:55,718 Speaker 16: guy who can get out. 601 00:23:55,559 --> 00:24:00,039 Speaker 2: Of the pocket. That's sort of like you can you're 602 00:24:00,079 --> 00:24:03,359 Speaker 2: never plays never over right. He can throw both directions. 603 00:24:03,398 --> 00:24:05,799 Speaker 16: He can Oh, yeah, AV talks about all the time 604 00:24:05,799 --> 00:24:07,519 Speaker 16: we're blocking to Infinity up on the old line because 605 00:24:07,559 --> 00:24:10,638 Speaker 16: we don't know when that plays ending, So plays never over, 606 00:24:10,999 --> 00:24:13,359 Speaker 16: whether for the guys blocking or the guy's running routes, 607 00:24:13,398 --> 00:24:15,599 Speaker 16: because you know, obviously we've seen Drake make those type 608 00:24:15,599 --> 00:24:18,038 Speaker 16: of plays.
