1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:04,160
Speaker 1: Which is curious. Uh. You know, obviously we we made

2
00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:07,400
Speaker 1: such a big deal about what an offense will look

3
00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:10,200
Speaker 1: like with and without, say Quon, You've obviously seen it

4
00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:13,080
Speaker 1: both ways the last two years. I'm just curious what

5
00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:15,720
Speaker 1: it does for your guys and the coverage that you

6
00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:20,480
Speaker 1: may see week to week without that kind of threat

7
00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:23,000
Speaker 1: in the backfield. I know you still have running backs,

8
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:24,800
Speaker 1: you still have guys who can make plays. But I'm

9
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:28,680
Speaker 1: just curious from a coverage perspective, what teams can maybe

10
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:30,600
Speaker 1: do to you guys, or at least try to show

11
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:34,040
Speaker 1: you guys different looks as opposed to having that one

12
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:37,199
Speaker 1: guy that you know is a threat to take it

13
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:40,479
Speaker 1: every time he touches the ball. Yeah. That's a good question,

14
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:43,120
Speaker 1: And my answer to that is, I think when we

15
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:46,479
Speaker 1: play defenses, I think they play what they play because

16
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:49,600
Speaker 1: they practice a certain way, you know, throughout the whole

17
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 1: time they're practicing, and their guys get good at what

18
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 1: they do. So I think when you face an opponent

19
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:57,960
Speaker 1: with or without certain players, I think they play what

20
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 1: they play because they played really well. Um. I don't

21
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:04,520
Speaker 1: think you can go into a game and and and

22
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 1: try to do something you know you may make a

23
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 1: wrinkle here there. But at the end of the day,

24
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:10,480
Speaker 1: they're gonna play what they play, So we have to

25
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 1: run where we run and and and see how it

26
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:15,319
Speaker 1: matches up. Um. Do you feel like your guys are

27
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 1: getting open consistently enough to help out Daniel? Um, I

28
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:23,039
Speaker 1: think I think we are. I think it's it's it's

29
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 1: a it's a work in progress. Um. I think you

30
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 1: see evidence on tape that that guys, you know, at

31
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 1: times that are opening, and it's evidence on tape that

32
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:34,039
Speaker 1: sometimes they're not. So I think the thing to do

33
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:36,039
Speaker 1: to fix that is to continue to work on the

34
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:38,559
Speaker 1: details and practice, you know, the fundamentals of route running,

35
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:41,959
Speaker 1: the fundamentals of cutting, separating and and Um. I think

36
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 1: it's a work in progress right now. Um, I think

37
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 1: we win something. I think we lose some. But but um,

38
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 1: you know, it's just a matter of getting on the

39
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 1: same page with everybody, you know, the whole offense, and

40
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 1: being able to connect and see the fruits of the labor.

41
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 1: If you will, Hey, take just talk a little bit,

42
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 1: you know about the two young guys that are getting

43
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 1: extra chances right now, Damien and and c J. How

44
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 1: they're coming along in this offense. I think they're progressing nicely. Um,

45
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 1: they both played oh pretty equally the other day. Is

46
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:18,640
Speaker 1: far from the snap count standpoint. Maybe see they got

47
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 1: a couple more than Damien. But I have total confidence

48
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,399
Speaker 1: in both of them, or they wouldn't be playing. And uh,

49
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:26,920
Speaker 1: but they're out there, they're contributing, they're they're doing what

50
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:29,399
Speaker 1: they can do. And and um, they're running routes, they're

51
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 1: blocking the running game. Um, they're progressing nicely in our system.

52
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 1: They're progressing nicely in practice. So, UM, it's just a

53
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 1: matter of you know, everybody getting on the same page,

54
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 1: so everybody can go out there and and make their

55
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 1: presence known. Um, we strive here and making that presence

56
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 1: known whether we have the ball or not. Um. So

57
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 1: they have to continue to do that. And and I

58
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 1: tell them all the time, you know, and all the

59
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:54,799
Speaker 1: guys trying to be the best player on the field

60
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,080
Speaker 1: with or without the ball, uh, because you can make

61
00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 1: an impact in the game in a lot of different ways.

62
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 1: So I think they're trying to do that and we're

63
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:04,639
Speaker 1: going hard to achieve that. Tyke, I wanted to ask

64
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 1: you about the rookies on the practice squad, and obviously

65
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:11,240
Speaker 1: you guys put so much time and they did as

66
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 1: well developing them through the summer. You get into a

67
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:17,920
Speaker 1: regular season and we all know the time that you

68
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:20,360
Speaker 1: guys have to prepare for the game versus the time

69
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 1: for development are two different things. How have they been

70
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 1: coming along? And are there things that you're doing, uh,

71
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 1: separately for the rookies that are trying to accelerate to

72
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 1: get to the point where if you need them to

73
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 1: contribute on the act of roster that they are doing

74
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 1: what they can to to be in that situation and

75
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 1: be ready. Yeah, all right, that's a really good question

76
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 1: that one of the things that Coach Judge what we

77
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 1: do here Coach Judge implemented is a fact we have

78
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 1: what we'll call a basic period, and that's at the

79
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 1: end of practice when all the young guys stay out

80
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 1: there and it actually reps in a team period or

81
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 1: seven or seven period and those guys running the same

82
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 1: place we just ran in practice with the quote unquote

83
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 1: you know varsity guys if you will, so um, but

84
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 1: they're they're getting their reps for the scout team, you know,

85
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 1: for the for the defense and their look, but they're

86
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 1: also getting our reps repping practice bid one period of

87
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 1: two periods or whatever, and they're doing a good job

88
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:17,279
Speaker 1: of that, of repping that stuff. So they're staying in

89
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 1: the loop with everything that we do offensively so because

90
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:20,720
Speaker 1: they never know when that time is going to be

91
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:23,160
Speaker 1: called to come up, and when they do, I feel

92
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 1: confident they'll be ready to go.
