1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,679
Speaker 1: Curious what you've seen from Turbo.

2
00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:03,040
Speaker 2: As a gunner.

3
00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:07,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, Turbo lives up to his nickname. You know,

4
00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:10,879
Speaker 1: the real speed he h. And you know, the one

5
00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:13,320
Speaker 1: thing that you see in practice as well is he

6
00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:17,040
Speaker 1: has really good practice demeanor. So you see the very

7
00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:19,840
Speaker 1: intentional and deliberate practice habits show up in the game.

8
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:23,560
Speaker 1: You see his ability to run by a vice, and

9
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:26,320
Speaker 1: he's a very willing and physical tackler you know, when

10
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:30,040
Speaker 1: those opportunities present itself. So I'm excited to see Turbo

11
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:31,600
Speaker 1: whenever he gets those opportunities.

12
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:36,199
Speaker 2: And one more, why didn't Amir Smith Smith marcet as

13
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:37,720
Speaker 2: a multiple play the other night?

14
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:41,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, so you know, we're confident a mirror's ability. He's

15
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:42,879
Speaker 1: had a lot of tape out there, and really we

16
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:45,320
Speaker 1: just wanted to give other guys opportunity. You know, We've uh,

17
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:47,680
Speaker 1: you know, we've been blessed with this roster of having

18
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 1: a good amount of returners on this roster a guy,

19
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:53,200
Speaker 1: a lot of guys in this league that have done

20
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:55,760
Speaker 1: it from the dual returner ability. So we're just going

21
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,080
Speaker 1: to continue to roll them through and see what some

22
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:08,119
Speaker 1: of these guys can do. Yep, Hey, go be good.

23
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 3: Morning, How are you?

24
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:10,120
Speaker 1: Hey, how you doing, mam?

25
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:14,760
Speaker 3: Or good afternoon? Sorry? Yeah, with you know, it comes

26
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 3: this time of year when everybody always starts looking at

27
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 3: the roster in the fifty three and you know, all

28
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:21,760
Speaker 3: of a sudden, questions start popping up, well can he

29
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 3: play special teams? I would imagine from your perspective, you

30
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 3: guys are a heck of a lot more calculated for

31
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 3: months now when guys get in the building. I was

32
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 3: just hoping that maybe you could talk about that process

33
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:35,400
Speaker 3: a little bit, like how not only do you identify guys,

34
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:38,759
Speaker 3: but I mean you're teaching guys that may not have

35
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 3: that experience at this level, and just how it kind

36
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:44,759
Speaker 3: of takes on a life of its own, I would

37
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:47,119
Speaker 3: imagine through training camp and in the preseason games.

38
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, so it obviously starts off with the new league year.

39
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 1: You know when you have those offseason meetings. You know,

40
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 1: I think you're your day to day with the players

41
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 1: is teaching them your base fundamentals. So really early on

42
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 1: we have everybody in those meetings. We make sure certain

43
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 1: that they understand everything that's required of them from a

44
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 1: technique standpoint, from a scheme standpoint, and then we kind

45
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,360
Speaker 1: of roll that into training camp when we're back. So

46
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,680
Speaker 1: in those in those moments leading up to training camp,

47
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 1: it's really just making sure everybody has a base understanding

48
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 1: of what we do, whether you're a rookie a veteran.

49
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 1: You know the nature of this league is the roster

50
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 1: sizes are small on game day, so you have to

51
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,520
Speaker 1: create a lot of flex with players. You have to

52
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 1: create some emergency roster positions where a guy, if a

53
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 1: guy goes down, you've got to make sure this guy

54
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 1: understands what he's doing in that in that role. And

55
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 1: I think this whole roster has done that and they've

56
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 1: kind of bought into it too. You know, just anything

57
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:42,119
Speaker 1: that you know they're asked to do, they've they've done

58
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 1: it a million miles per hour. So when we rolled

59
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:46,959
Speaker 1: in a training camp, it was now a little bit

60
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:50,960
Speaker 1: more live bullets, right they're you know, they're executing these techniques,

61
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:56,239
Speaker 1: these schemes at a little faster pace. And for the rookies,

62
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:59,360
Speaker 1: that truly is the opportunity where they start to learn

63
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 1: by fire. They're learning going against veterans that have been

64
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 1: doing it, and that's ultimately accelerates their growth mentally and

65
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:11,959
Speaker 1: physically as well, you know, they're understanding the speed of

66
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 1: the game, the different rule changes to a kickoff, kickoff

67
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:18,240
Speaker 1: or turn from what they were doing in college, and

68
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 1: then ultimately in the game. Uh, you know, it's opportunities

69
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 1: to show us that they've you know, they've gained that

70
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 1: knowledge and have been able to you know, produce on

71
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 1: the football field in that regard. So you know, it

72
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 1: is a long and thorough process, and the guys have

73
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 1: done a great job just in understanding the steps and

74
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 1: kind of owning that appreciate that.

75
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 3: I was just one more on dip with what Dan

76
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 3: said about turbo. You know, it's funny, you know, all

77
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:46,119
Speaker 3: the physical skills, but I got to imagine that at

78
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:50,120
Speaker 3: some point there's an intricacy involved in the job of

79
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 3: a gunner that maybe we don't see. But until you

80
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 3: do it, how how do guys pick that up? I mean,

81
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 3: you know we're not you know sometimes I guess you

82
00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 3: have to be natural, right, but also you probably hit

83
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 3: it a lot in the classroom, I would think for

84
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 3: a guy like that who wants to use his speed,

85
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 3: but maybe it's a little.

86
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 1: Bit more than that. Yeah, you know, the one thing

87
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 1: that we try and do with any position is relate

88
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 1: it to what they do from their primary position. So

89
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:20,280
Speaker 1: in terms of what Turbo does a great job as

90
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 1: a running back, we try and correlate what he did

91
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 1: there and see how we can simulate it with his

92
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 1: gunner stuff. So like for any offensive player, its ability

93
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:31,160
Speaker 1: to get off press. Now, when you're you're talking about

94
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 1: gunner play, it's gunner versus avice, So gunner versus two people.

95
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:36,839
Speaker 1: So now you have press versus two people, what are

96
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 1: the fundamentals that you have done whenever you're running a

97
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 1: route on offense? Like how do you get open? Right?

98
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 1: It starts with the decisive speed release, So you know

99
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:47,719
Speaker 1: that's one thing that he's kind of learned, and you

100
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:50,719
Speaker 1: know when he's doing these drills in practice, you're not

101
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:53,600
Speaker 1: necessarily going to have forty five to fifty yard covers

102
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 1: on these punts every play. So it's breaking down a

103
00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:00,719
Speaker 1: certain aspect of the gunner play, whether it's release, and

104
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 1: then you go into the set another aspect of gunner play,

105
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:06,159
Speaker 1: which is the in phase running down the field, and

106
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 1: then you go into the third and final which is

107
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:11,479
Speaker 1: the tackling and play entry phase. So breaking it down

108
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:13,480
Speaker 1: kind of in those molds allow those guys to kind

109
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 1: of transition if they've never had gunner reps there before.

110
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:18,360
Speaker 1: But you know, we try and do our best job

111
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 1: in terms of like translating the uh what they do

112
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 1: from a primary positional standpoint to what they do on

113
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 1: special teams. Appreciate you got hey, Goby, how are you good?

114
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 2: Are you good? Two things? One, do you have any

115
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 2: takeaways from the first two games of the new kickoff role,

116
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:48,839
Speaker 2: either with you guys or watching kape around the league

117
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 2: or text with other coordinators, Like, what's been your impressions

118
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:55,160
Speaker 2: of the revised rule here in year two?

119
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:59,600
Speaker 1: Yeah? So, you know, really the biggest rule difference from

120
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 1: last year has been where the touchback is now spotted.

121
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 1: And because there's been a lot more footballs in play,

122
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 1: you haven't necessarily felt what a thirty five yard line

123
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:13,040
Speaker 1: drive start would feel like throughout the entirety of the game.

124
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 1: You know. The one thing I will say though, is,

125
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:18,719
Speaker 1: you know we've hit a touchback. You know, whether it

126
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:21,600
Speaker 1: be a yard deep, two yards deep, there has been

127
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 1: a touchback where it was spotted on three to five

128
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 1: and you just feel what that does to the defense.

129
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 1: Now that, especially with how how skilled these kickers are,

130
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:33,279
Speaker 1: these days they get a first down and then let's

131
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 1: say they go three and out. After that, a kicker

132
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,159
Speaker 1: may be in field goal range now, you know, so

133
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:43,920
Speaker 1: you're definitely feeling the the consequences of consistently kicking touchbacks,

134
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:48,360
Speaker 1: which may translate more to more kicks in play this year.

135
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 4: And then as good as he's been for as long

136
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 4: as he's been, was there a I don't know, exhale

137
00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:58,920
Speaker 4: when you see your thirty eight year old kicker coming

138
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 4: off injuries three fifty yarders in a preseason game. He

139
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 4: was like, all right, we don't need to see you

140
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 4: again for training camp.

141
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, I think, uh there, there's definitely a

142
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 1: breath of fresh air when you see a guy perform

143
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 1: at what you know he can do. And that was

144
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 1: something that we saw honestly in training camp and in

145
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 1: the off season. It's like, Okay, Graham is kicking well,

146
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 1: you know, he looks like he's got his leg and

147
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 1: all that. But ultimately, you know, we're we're we're a

148
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 1: production based business. So when you do it in the game,

149
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 1: you're like, Okay, yeah, that's Graham Gonno. And I know

150
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 1: that gave him confidence. And then obviously, you know we've

151
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 1: We've always been confident with him, and that's a guy that,

152
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 1: like we're fired up to see have success.

153
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 2: Yep, we're.

154
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 4: Hey, yeah, I'll just jump back.

155
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 2: What have you seen from Bo Collins on specials?

156
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 1: Yeah? Bo is first of all, the person is built

157
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 1: the right way like he is. He wants to do

158
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 1: everything right and you could tell he's a football player,

159
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 1: so I think instinctual, I think he's tough. I think

160
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 1: he's a strong player and obviously has that long speed.

161
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 1: So those are all things that you know can contribute

162
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 1: to him being a good special teams player. You know,

163
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 1: we certainly want to continue to see him in in

164
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 1: those roles. But in terms of the person he's he's

165
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 1: just bought in completely to you know, being the best

166
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 1: football player he can be and doing whatever it takes

167
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 1: to help this football team. So it's cool to see

168
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 1: that kid have success, and I know he's going to

169
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:33,080
Speaker 1: be driven to keep going
