Really proud of them 33 00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:21,319 Speaker 1: for for stepping up for me and being an asset 34 00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:23,800 Speaker 1: for me, and you know, carrying on my message not 35 00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:27,840 Speaker 1: only amongst the coaches but with the players. And you know, 36 00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:30,600 Speaker 1: the dialogue and the communication that we've had throughout the building, 37 00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:33,600 Speaker 1: throughout game day, throughout these situations has been excellent. So 38 00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:36,400 Speaker 1: really proud of that group and and thankful for him. 39 00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:40,880 Speaker 4: You seeing Jackson improve the most this season. 40 00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:44,959 Speaker 1: There's a lot of areas that that Jackson's improved on. 41 00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:49,560 Speaker 1: I think once you said on the field specifically, or okay, yeah, 42 00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:51,600 Speaker 1: so I think on the field, I think what you're 43 00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:54,960 Speaker 1: seeing is a more a disciplined player inside the huddle 44 00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:56,760 Speaker 1: and I know where I should say in the huddle, 45 00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:59,280 Speaker 1: but on the football or you know, communicating with the players. 46 00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:02,160 Speaker 1: I think that has grown a lot from his first 47 00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:05,919 Speaker 1: start to this start, just as command and the communication 48 00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:07,720 Speaker 1: that we're seeing when he comes off the sideline, he's 49 00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:10,120 Speaker 1: seeing those pictures and he's seeing these looks, and so 50 00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:12,240 Speaker 1: that communication's starting to bank some of those reps that 51 00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:14,800 Speaker 1: we saw early on where he'd come off the sideline, Hey, 52 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:16,239 Speaker 1: what'd you think? What you see? And you know he's 53 00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:19,359 Speaker 1: checking the pictures. Now sometimes you like he doesn't even 54 00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:21,760 Speaker 1: need the pictures. He's he's able to kind of kind 55 00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:23,639 Speaker 1: of freeze, frame those things in his mind, come back, 56 00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:26,919 Speaker 1: communicate it, get the corrections, get the thoughts, get the adjustments, 57 00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:29,400 Speaker 1: then move on to the next set. So he's banking 58 00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:31,840 Speaker 1: some of those experiences, which is good to see in 59 00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:34,120 Speaker 1: the classroom. I think you're in the meeting room, you're 60 00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:36,239 Speaker 1: seeing the leadership starting stuff. His voice is starting to 61 00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:38,960 Speaker 1: be heard in terms of what the players with the coaches, 62 00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:41,600 Speaker 1: and I think that's important. Like when when when we 63 00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:43,000 Speaker 1: give you the keys to the car, and that's what 64 00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:45,600 Speaker 1: we're giving Jackson, you got you take it, you go 65 00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:47,440 Speaker 1: run with it. And and he's doing a hell of 66 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:50,840 Speaker 1: a job of communicating with the things that he likes 67 00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:52,919 Speaker 1: and communicating with us. So problem for that. 68 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:54,960 Speaker 4: There's always a lot of talk after like going from 69 00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,200 Speaker 4: college the NFL like schematically like for more, like it's 70 00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,639 Speaker 4: so much different than the defense is, Like how do 71 00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:01,320 Speaker 4: that's just something you have to go through? Is your 72 00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:02,520 Speaker 4: way to expect that? 73 00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:03,240 Speaker 2: Yeah? 74 00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:05,600 Speaker 1: Just yeah, no, I think that's that's great because you 75 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 1: don't know where where a player is, Like you do 76 00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:10,200 Speaker 1: all your research on the front end of it, and 77 00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:12,160 Speaker 1: you're going through like the combine. You're going through those 78 00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:13,919 Speaker 1: thirty visits and you try your best to kind of 79 00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,160 Speaker 1: pull out as much of that kind of the football 80 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:19,200 Speaker 1: knowledge that he knows or one would know. And then 81 00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,480 Speaker 1: you're also trying to teach him some of our language 82 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:23,720 Speaker 1: and some of our terminology and see how much he 83 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,440 Speaker 1: can retain and keep up. So, you know, you go 84 00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:28,840 Speaker 1: through like the combine, you go through these thirty visits. 85 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 1: A lot of times you're like, all right, it's just 86 00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:33,000 Speaker 1: kind of like a prescripted like, you know, because these 87 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:34,840 Speaker 1: guys prep for it. I've been through it, I get it. 88 00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:37,480 Speaker 1: So you go through that whole process and then once 89 00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:38,960 Speaker 1: you kind of get him in the door, now you 90 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,360 Speaker 1: have a program and a plan that's built out. Okay, 91 00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:45,200 Speaker 1: and you're starting at really like you like right at 92 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:48,840 Speaker 1: the basics, like front's front identification, what isn't underfront, wasn't overfront? 93 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:51,160 Speaker 1: Why do teams do that? Then you build it to 94 00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:53,160 Speaker 1: the next thing, the coverages? All right, why do teams 95 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:55,400 Speaker 1: play these certain coverages? What are the leverages for these coverages? 96 00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:57,680 Speaker 1: How can you identify it? And you go through this 97 00:03:57,760 --> 00:03:59,840 Speaker 1: process and you go through the pressures. On top of that, 98 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,320 Speaker 1: you're throwing a whole playbook and like here's our terminology. 99 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:05,240 Speaker 1: So you build like these building blocks and you kind 100 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:07,160 Speaker 1: of step through it and you work it from the 101 00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:10,800 Speaker 1: OTAs into training camp into the season, and you know, 102 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:12,560 Speaker 1: you try to expedite it as quickly as you can, 103 00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:14,200 Speaker 1: but you've got to go through that process. You don't 104 00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:17,160 Speaker 1: want to shortchange anybody, and particularly for a quarterback because 105 00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:20,200 Speaker 1: you got to know all that stuff. So where Jackson, 106 00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:23,279 Speaker 1: You know, we built that program for Jackson. Now now 107 00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:25,120 Speaker 1: he's got to go up and play. So now like 108 00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:28,400 Speaker 1: now he's inserted into the game plan. Like those those 109 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:30,520 Speaker 1: type of building blocks, they don't take a back seat, 110 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,599 Speaker 1: but you're continue to refine those now within just the 111 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:36,120 Speaker 1: I would say, the confines of the game plan, how 112 00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:39,040 Speaker 1: those things apply. Okay, So you know when we talk 113 00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:41,120 Speaker 1: with Jackson about you know, at least early in his 114 00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:43,719 Speaker 1: first few starts, you're giving them the game plan, what's 115 00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:45,359 Speaker 1: his job, what does he have to do, what are 116 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:48,320 Speaker 1: the guys around him doing, and what are those adjustments. Okay, 117 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:50,960 Speaker 1: Now you're teaching him this front structure of what this 118 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,480 Speaker 1: team likes to play. You're teaching him the coverage structure 119 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:55,080 Speaker 1: of what this team likes to play and how these 120 00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:58,240 Speaker 1: plays fit into it. And so now you're like you 121 00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:03,040 Speaker 1: you're seven eight weeks we starts into his into his year, 122 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:05,280 Speaker 1: into his rookie year, and so you don't want to 123 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:07,559 Speaker 1: take anything for granted. I think he's banking these reps 124 00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:09,600 Speaker 1: just like we just like we mentioned earlier, now we 125 00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:11,920 Speaker 1: got to go back and kind of you know, rego 126 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,560 Speaker 1: through this whole entire program again into year two, into 127 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:17,520 Speaker 1: year three, into year four. You just never want to 128 00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:19,400 Speaker 1: take those things for granted. And I know in my 129 00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:22,240 Speaker 1: experience in Kansas City, it was, you know, into year 130 00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:25,000 Speaker 1: five and we're talking to Patrick about under fronts and 131 00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:26,760 Speaker 1: overfront something. You know, he's kind of rolling his eyes, 132 00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:29,479 Speaker 1: but I think that's important for the quarterback room for 133 00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:32,400 Speaker 1: an offense always just kind of go through those basics, 134 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:35,039 Speaker 1: and you just never want to You never know what 135 00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:39,280 Speaker 1: little nugget or what little coaching point can make it 136 00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:42,039 Speaker 1: click for that player. And so Jackson is no different 137 00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:43,520 Speaker 1: than any of the rookies or of the young players, 138 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:45,120 Speaker 1: or even any of the vets that we have that 139 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 1: come in and how is our terminology, how's our language 140 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:49,880 Speaker 1: going to matter? And how are we going to speak 141 00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:52,520 Speaker 1: and talk through anything that can make come up? 142 00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:55,520 Speaker 3: With that being said, how valuable do you think it 143 00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:58,880 Speaker 3: is for quarterback to be hearing the same voices moving forward? 144 00:05:58,960 --> 00:05:59,080 Speaker 2: Right? 145 00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:01,880 Speaker 3: You know that you don't have then when some quarterbacks 146 00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:05,680 Speaker 3: ends up bouncing around and changing different different programs, different schemes. 147 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 1: Different I think what I think what was the most 148 00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:10,080 Speaker 1: important thing is that the messaging and the teaching of 149 00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:12,279 Speaker 1: it is when you're in there and you're in front 150 00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:15,520 Speaker 1: of them, that it's consistent, it's clear, and then you 151 00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:17,960 Speaker 1: go through the learning cycle. Everyone learns a little bit different. 152 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:19,760 Speaker 1: Some guys can see it on a black and white 153 00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:21,800 Speaker 1: on a piece of paper and get it. Some people 154 00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:24,000 Speaker 1: wanted to see it, you know, on a film. Some 155 00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:25,640 Speaker 1: people wanted you to walk through it and see it 156 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,280 Speaker 1: live with people moving. So you've got to go through 157 00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:30,840 Speaker 1: the kind of that learning cycle and make sure that 158 00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:34,680 Speaker 1: whoever you're teaching that to then that that that's how 159 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:36,320 Speaker 1: they you have to learn kind of that learner and 160 00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:39,919 Speaker 1: how they learn any any whether any system. So you know, 161 00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:41,920 Speaker 1: for Jackson, I think it's important that we went through 162 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:44,760 Speaker 1: that cycle, and so we have to do that again 163 00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:46,000 Speaker 1: next year. We have to do that again in the 164 00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:48,240 Speaker 1: off season with any of the quarterbacks and position players. 165 00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:50,640 Speaker 1: But to me, the most the most important part is 166 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:53,240 Speaker 1: how are you teaching it, how you give him that information? 167 00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:54,520 Speaker 4: How does he learn best? 168 00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:57,760 Speaker 1: Jackson doesn't. It can learn a lot of different ways. 169 00:06:57,839 --> 00:06:59,839 Speaker 1: I don't think there's one way that's best for him. 170 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,520 Speaker 1: I think for for us, when we're we're looking at 171 00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:05,960 Speaker 1: how we're going to install these these programs. Sometimes we 172 00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:08,360 Speaker 1: installed in here. You see the screens, he's just kind 173 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:09,960 Speaker 1: of like a little mini field. You see some hashes 174 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:11,840 Speaker 1: out here. We'll install here and do a little like 175 00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:14,640 Speaker 1: kind of a walk and talk like class on the 176 00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:16,440 Speaker 1: grass type thing, and then we have ones where we 177 00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:19,160 Speaker 1: do them in the installation room in our team meeting 178 00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:21,600 Speaker 1: and stand up and kind of do it like lecture style. 179 00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:23,640 Speaker 1: So there's a bunch of different ways to do it. 180 00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:26,880 Speaker 1: I think Jackson has been recepted to all of them. 181 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:29,000 Speaker 1: You know, if there was a preference, then we would 182 00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:31,200 Speaker 1: probably you know, lean that way. But I mean they're 183 00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:32,480 Speaker 1: pretty easy. He's pretty smart guy. 184 00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:39,280 Speaker 2: You guys never activated a zudu after his window was open. 185 00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:42,840 Speaker 2: What what went in that? Because he was pretty sure 186 00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:45,120 Speaker 2: he would be able to play or practice. 187 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:46,880 Speaker 1: And he did do a great job in the practices. 188 00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:48,800 Speaker 1: It just ended up being just the numbers, just where 189 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:50,760 Speaker 1: our roster was at, some of the injuries and stuff, 190 00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:53,679 Speaker 1: and prioritizing maybe some position groups over others.
