1
00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:07,480
Speaker 1: From the Podium is back. It's the show where we

2
00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:11,960
Speaker 1: feature all the daily press conferences from before and after practice,

3
00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:15,960
Speaker 1: all ruled into one podcast. I'm Jason Gibbs. On today's show,

4
00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:20,120
Speaker 1: we'll hear from head coach Kevin Stefanski, offensive coordinator Alex

5
00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:25,400
Speaker 1: van Pelt, defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz, special teams coordinator Bubba

6
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:29,600
Speaker 1: van Trone, and quarterbacks for Thursday Night's game against the Jets,

7
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:34,840
Speaker 1: Kellen Mond and Dorian Thompson Robinson. First up, it's head

8
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:37,640
Speaker 1: coach Kevin Stefanski talking to the media before day nine

9
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:40,159
Speaker 1: of practice, the first one for the team back here

10
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:42,320
Speaker 1: at Cross Country Mortgage Campus in Maria.

11
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:47,440
Speaker 2: Kevin, when you evaluate the totality of the campus, does

12
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 2: a game day way more kind of practice day?

13
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:54,639
Speaker 3: I think it's all part of it, Tony. I think

14
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:59,280
Speaker 3: certainly going up against another team is helpful also in

15
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:03,160
Speaker 3: that you're now live and you're it's full speed tackling,

16
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 3: it's full speed pass.

17
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 4: Pro whatever it may be.

18
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 3: So I think that, yes, it is a major factor

19
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:12,120
Speaker 3: of it. What percents you weigh each thing, it's a

20
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:14,839
Speaker 3: total picture, but certainly in the games it's a big

21
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 3: part of it. Based on the fact that these are

22
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 3: live opportunities.

23
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 5: Hey, Kevin, how do you think good to see it?

24
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:25,959
Speaker 6: Jeff Good, how do you think Bubba been Thron's energy

25
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 6: connects with his special teams?

26
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:33,959
Speaker 3: Yeah, Bubba has been awesome. Not surprised just knowing Bubba

27
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 3: and what he's about. You know, a former player, he

28
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:40,960
Speaker 3: can really speak to the things we're doing from his perspective,

29
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 3: which is, you know, as a former player and a

30
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 3: guy who's been coaching for a little while in this league.

31
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 3: I think he's got credibility from those guys. But he's

32
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 3: got a great way about him and I think he's

33
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 3: very demanding of his players.

34
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 7: Kevin, you got Kellen after the cutdown date last year,

35
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 7: so you didn't even see him in the preseason. This

36
00:01:58,160 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 7: is really going to be his first opportunity to get

37
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 7: out there. How has he grown over last year?

38
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think Kellen's done a great job.

39
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 3: Really, Like you mentioned Chris, really just get there's a

40
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:10,080
Speaker 3: period of just getting to know him early in the

41
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 3: season last year. So he's done everything we've asked him

42
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 3: to do. I've been very impressed with him both in

43
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 3: the meeting room and on the practice field, and the

44
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:18,680
Speaker 3: fun part for our players, as you.

45
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 8: Know, is to play in these games. So I think

46
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:22,640
Speaker 8: Colt about the opportunity.

47
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 2: Kevin Jim said, one of the goals is for the

48
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:27,920
Speaker 2: defense that lead the league in effort and passion. Have

49
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 2: you been pleased with what you've seen in editor at

50
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:31,640
Speaker 2: this point? And how important is that team?

51
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 5: Oh?

52
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:32,640
Speaker 8: Very important?

53
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:34,960
Speaker 3: I mean that's what our defense is built on. And

54
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,359
Speaker 3: I think Jim, as you guys have seen and as

55
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:40,960
Speaker 3: you've probably heard, he makes sure the players know where

56
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 3: they stand in that given moment and that given practice.

57
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 8: So he's demanding of it.

58
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:47,960
Speaker 3: And just the style in which we played defense here

59
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:50,960
Speaker 3: with coach Schwartz. That is how we operate. It's how

60
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:52,800
Speaker 3: we get off the ball, it's how we attack the ball.

61
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 3: So the defensive staff has done outstanding job so far.

62
00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 6: Ketty, when you go over for those days you particularly use,

63
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 6: is it just.

64
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 9: Going to give these guys up?

65
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I think the biggest thing is you

66
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:09,360
Speaker 3: want your players to play fast. You want them to

67
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 3: give a great accounting of themselves, and you don't want to.

68
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 8: Slow them down with a lot of scheme.

69
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 3: Uh you know, I know Coach Sala has a very

70
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 3: similar approach to this. So it'll be a great opportunity

71
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 3: to challenge our guys, but you don't want to bog

72
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 3: them down by scheme. You want them to be able

73
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 3: to play fast.

74
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 6: Do you have an update on Tyrone Reeley?

75
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 8: I don't have an update yet.

76
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 5: No.

77
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 10: What have you brought in in a cornerback with some

78
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:34,679
Speaker 10: blay game experience?

79
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, just lost bo Pete to injury, so really replacing

80
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 3: that spot on the roster, Kevin.

81
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 11: You brought so many new pieces into the defensive line

82
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 11: this offseason, but like, what have you seen from the

83
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 11: younger guys who are coming back, like Alex right, Isaiah

84
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 11: tom Is Just like these you guys come in and

85
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 11: they're still trying to put them.

86
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 8: Yeah.

87
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 3: I think it's great actually to have good players in

88
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 3: the room. Competition brings out the best in people. So

89
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 3: it's a really competitive room. But they push each other.

90
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 3: They push each other in the meeting room, they push

91
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 3: each other on the practice field.

92
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 4: Uh. You mentioned Alex.

93
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 3: You mentioned as they had two young players that I

94
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 3: mean they played meaningful snaps for us last year. Uh,

95
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 3: So we're excited about them, but it's also great for

96
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 3: them to be around. As Zadarius Thomas a stereos. Fis

97
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 3: fut uh to be around Dalvin to see how pros operated.

98
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:26,839
Speaker 6: Kevin, you did a lot of Rechard reps here. Obviously

99
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 6: you're working him back in.

100
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 11: Just how close is he and and how pleased started

101
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:34,719
Speaker 11: with how fast he's been able to bounce back?

102
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:38,599
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, he's he did an awesome job rehabing.

103
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,359
Speaker 4: Uh So we're bringing him along. He's hitting every.

104
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 3: Benchmark that he's supposed to hit. Uh So I think

105
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:46,040
Speaker 3: we'll see more and more of him throughout practice. Uh

106
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 3: But he's doing a great job.

107
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 8: Kevin with with.

108
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 6: Schwartz doesn't seem to sugarcoat.

109
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:52,479
Speaker 2: And I think especially here, how do you how do

110
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:54,480
Speaker 2: you think the players have responded his coaching stuff?

111
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:55,159
Speaker 12: Yeah?

112
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:58,720
Speaker 3: I think you know, I think we've talked about coach

113
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 3: Swartz over whenhen were hired.

114
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:04,279
Speaker 4: He and I see the game very similar. He's very honest.

115
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:07,040
Speaker 3: Sometimes you know that that can be taken as brutal honesty,

116
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 3: but I just think he's very authentic in in his nature.

117
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:12,559
Speaker 8: He's been doing at a high level.

118
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,719
Speaker 3: You know, I'm just I know from my perspective, I

119
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 3: get to see a guy who coaches him hard, but

120
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 3: it's fair.

121
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 8: He's fair with the guys. He's just gonna call it

122
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:21,280
Speaker 8: like it is.

123
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 11: Kevin with with Dorian, how important are these game reps

124
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,280
Speaker 11: for him, especially he's getting so many, you know in

125
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:27,360
Speaker 11: this particular game.

126
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, like kind of with what we were saying earlier,

127
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:31,840
Speaker 3: I mean every rep is important. Those game reps. They

128
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 3: can tackle you now, they're not worried that you're wearing

129
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 3: a red jersey. So you are playing the game at

130
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:38,599
Speaker 3: full speed.

131
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 8: You got to play fast.

132
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:42,599
Speaker 3: Everything's gonna happen faster for all those rookies that are

133
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 3: playing in their first preseason game under the lights. So

134
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 3: just looking for him to operate and really take an

135
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:49,360
Speaker 3: extension of what he's been doing here on the practice

136
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 3: fields to.

137
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 6: The gamett Is that just the operation.

138
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:56,479
Speaker 3: Stuff, Yeah, it's huge, you know you oftentimes here with

139
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:59,039
Speaker 3: quarterbacks that he functions well or he gets them in

140
00:05:59,040 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 3: and out of the huddle.

141
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:01,599
Speaker 8: That's just part of the gig.

142
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:04,680
Speaker 3: Dorian obviously in his experience at UCLA, it's a little

143
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 3: bit different with how we operate. He's done great, but

144
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 3: certainly part of the plan for him is to make

145
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:12,840
Speaker 3: sure that when he's in there, we're getting in out

146
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 3: of the huddle, getting the line of scrimmage.

147
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:17,360
Speaker 4: Making your run checks will all be great reps for him.

148
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 7: How do you how do you balance you know, playing

149
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 7: time for some of the guys that you know are

150
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:24,919
Speaker 7: kind of one you know, especially the game.

151
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:28,279
Speaker 12: Like this, I mean, how does that decision? How's that decision?

152
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:31,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's case by case, it's player by player, and

153
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:33,599
Speaker 3: we sit down and we talk about it. Just feel

154
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 3: like at this point with our plan, we think it

155
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:38,840
Speaker 3: makes the most sense to play some of the younger players.

156
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 4: There will be veterans playing in this game.

157
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 3: Maybe they're playing for a shorter amount of time then

158
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:45,600
Speaker 3: you get them out. But we look at this as

159
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 3: an awesome opportunity for our young football players that they're

160
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 3: going to get a ton of reps in this football

161
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:55,160
Speaker 3: game against a different team, Tackling to the ground, full speed, all.

162
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:55,840
Speaker 4: Those type of things.

163
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:59,280
Speaker 3: Hopefully different situations come up that we've covered throughout this

164
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 3: camp so far. So really that's where the importance of

165
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 3: of just making sure that everybody knows what to do

166
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 3: is so important.

167
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 4: For I'm not gonna call it a break.

168
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 3: They're still gonna get their work done, so they'll they'll

169
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 3: work good, they'll have a good dose of work.

170
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 5: Today.

171
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 3: Uh, they'll get some work in tomorrow with their coaches

172
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 3: out here on the field. The day of the game,

173
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 3: they're going to get a lift and a run, so

174
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 3: every day will be a physical opportunity for them.

175
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 12: I'd like where you're you are at tackle behind Jed

176
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 12: and Jack.

177
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think at this point in camp you're just

178
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:41,559
Speaker 3: making sure you get as much guy as many guys

179
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 3: in there as you can and and rep them. But

180
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 3: I think James Hudson has has been very impressive to

181
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 3: me throughout the spring and in this summer, have some

182
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 3: young players that we continue to bring along. So uh yeah,

183
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 3: it's a good group and and as you know, it's

184
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:55,240
Speaker 3: you just got to get everybody ready to play.

185
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 6: Speaking believe you've seen it from Jederick Wills.

186
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 3: Jed's done a nice job. I think came back in

187
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 3: great shape. Is playing at you know, playing throughout the practices,

188
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:09,960
Speaker 3: throughout the individuals, you know, at a high level. The

189
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 3: intensity is there, So I think he's in a really

190
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:12,840
Speaker 3: good place.

191
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 2: Avp mentioned Hudson too has impressed him. Did you see

192
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 2: that growth last year from you know, when he played

193
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 2: a little bit as a rookie to when he had

194
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:21,679
Speaker 2: to play early last season.

195
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think with James, as we've talked about Beck

196
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 3: as a rookie, he played more than we probably thought

197
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 3: he would, right, he got kind of got thrust in

198
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 3: there due to injury, but he's taken every single one

199
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:34,199
Speaker 3: of those experiences, used them to get better. We love

200
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 3: his mentality, you know, former defensive player, you love that

201
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 3: mentality at that tackle position, he plays right on the edge.

202
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:44,360
Speaker 13: Having a similar question with receivers from your young guys

203
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:45,640
Speaker 13: whose development is impressed.

204
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:52,840
Speaker 3: I don't want to sing single anybody out right this minute.

205
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 3: They've done a nice job, as you can imagine. You know,

206
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:59,319
Speaker 3: we've had some injuries there and then Coop was out

207
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 3: for a minute, so there were extra reps that were

208
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 3: going around throughout down there at the Green bron and

209
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 3: we'll continue here. We'll get a ton of reps for

210
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 3: these young guys. But they they've done a nice job.

211
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 3: The coach will say, works some really hard. Uh Cali's

212
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 3: in there with them making sure that everybody's ready to go.

213
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 3: From a mental standpoint, So h, I think they're all

214
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:18,120
Speaker 3: right where they need right where.

215
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:18,560
Speaker 8: They need to be.

216
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:22,040
Speaker 5: Would you say good point game?

217
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:24,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, I want to talk to the rest of the

218
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 3: team in terms of who's playing.

219
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 8: He's back, Yes, coming on Thursday.

220
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:32,439
Speaker 1: We're gonna get our first book at the Blue Peaks

221
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:35,679
Speaker 1: and loses the intrigue and you guys are going to

222
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:37,560
Speaker 1: look at all it's gonna, you know, play out in

223
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:38,840
Speaker 1: the situation.

224
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:41,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think we're all curious how it all plays

225
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:43,840
Speaker 3: out there. There may be some teams that you know,

226
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:46,920
Speaker 3: hold what they're doing until week one and not necessarily

227
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 3: in the preseason, but uh, we'll kind of see how

228
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 3: it goes.

229
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 11: Uh.

230
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 3: Hopefully we'll be covering some kicks and getting some kick

231
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 3: returns and in the punt game. I think that's a

232
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:58,199
Speaker 3: big aspect of this as well as getting some live

233
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 3: coverage reps and and hopefull you know, you don't love

234
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 3: the punt all the time, but it's okay to get

235
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:05,800
Speaker 3: some punts in there, some punt return opportunities for all

236
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 3: of our young players.

237
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:10,720
Speaker 6: Shawn, much more comfortable, is see you feel with the

238
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:11,840
Speaker 6: offense here in me too.

239
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 4: Yeah.

240
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 3: Deshawn's done a nice job, as we've talked about, has

241
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 3: comeback really in the training camp, certainly ready to go.

242
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:22,720
Speaker 3: Spend a lot of time over his break with our players,

243
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:25,599
Speaker 3: getting his mind ready for this, for this opportunity.

244
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 4: So he's done a great job.

245
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:29,680
Speaker 1: Next up, it's offensive coordinator Alex van Pelt talking about

246
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 1: what he sees in the young receivers, what has been

247
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:35,080
Speaker 1: impressing him about the offense, and how the young quarterbacks

248
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 1: on the roster have been performing this camp.

249
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 5: Well, we think.

250
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 14: Sure, I thought Elijah had an outstanding camp. He's a

251
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:43,840
Speaker 14: guy that can do a lot of things. Very skilled

252
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:46,600
Speaker 14: receiver inside outside, can do stuff out of the backfield.

253
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 12: That was impressive to see for a rookie.

254
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 14: I thought Cedric had a really good camp, coming in

255
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:54,439
Speaker 14: and learning the system, putting all the pieces together. Had

256
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:56,800
Speaker 14: some mistakes, but really made some plays on the ball,

257
00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:59,440
Speaker 14: which is good to see. You know, Dalen Baldwin's mister

258
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 14: REELYI bow he's out there and can play him in

259
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:03,319
Speaker 14: multiple positions. So those young guys got a lot of

260
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:04,560
Speaker 14: good reps and did some good stuff.

261
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:07,560
Speaker 2: How do you go about kind of filling that void

262
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:09,880
Speaker 2: that Marquise was supposed to fill? Right that deep rough

263
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:11,079
Speaker 2: I think stretches the feeling.

264
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 14: Sure, well, we just got to find somebody else that

265
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 14: can come in and do it. You know, we have

266
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:16,480
Speaker 14: able bodies on the on the on the roster right now.

267
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 14: You know, Schwartze's a guy that can take the top off.

268
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 14: Jalen Darden's a guy that can take the top off.

269
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:23,199
Speaker 14: Elijah when we need him to, can take the top off.

270
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:25,560
Speaker 14: So we have bodies that that style of play. You know,

271
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:27,679
Speaker 14: hopefully we can get Marquise back and everything's gonna be

272
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:28,160
Speaker 14: okay there.

273
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:31,600
Speaker 12: But you look like in the full speed RedZone rills

274
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 12: that the defense of course, yeah, do you agree with that? Absolutely?

275
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 14: You know, and I told the guys this morning, it's hard.

276
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:39,439
Speaker 14: It's hard down there. You get inside that five yard line,

277
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 14: that eight yard line, and it's it's a past drill,

278
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:45,600
Speaker 14: it's it's it's skeleton. The situations. We had four point

279
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 14: plays the other day. We're not gonna hand them all

280
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:48,800
Speaker 14: off from the eighth to Nick Chubb and let him

281
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:51,840
Speaker 14: run in. So it is hard that the space is smaller,

282
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:54,880
Speaker 14: you know, the the the open receivers aren't as open.

283
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 14: There's contested catches, there's high balls in the back of

284
00:11:57,160 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 14: the end zone.

285
00:11:57,679 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 12: And it's a good challenge for us.

286
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 14: You know, we are gonna continue to you know, get

287
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 14: good at what we do exactly. And then when they

288
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:06,679
Speaker 14: played great coverage. It's hard. It's hard to win down

289
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 14: there in tight spaces. But I told the guys this

290
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:10,959
Speaker 14: morning again, we're not game playing it against our defense.

291
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:12,760
Speaker 12: We're not trying to change plays to win the win

292
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 12: the drill.

293
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 14: We're gonna run our plays and get really good at

294
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:17,240
Speaker 14: those and then remember, hey, we have running backs. We

295
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 14: have things that we're gonna do down in there, not

296
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:21,719
Speaker 14: just drop back and throw the ball every time running. Absolutely,

297
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:23,559
Speaker 14: I know you guys.

298
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 15: Are still a work in progress, but what do you

299
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:26,679
Speaker 15: like about this offensive group right now?

300
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 6: What are they doing well right now?

301
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:29,360
Speaker 12: Work is the first thing. I know.

302
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:31,160
Speaker 14: We're work in progress, but those guys come out and

303
00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:33,960
Speaker 14: they work every day. It's really been impressive. We've had

304
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:37,560
Speaker 14: some really really good two spot walk throughs in the

305
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:39,679
Speaker 14: afternoon periods where the young guys get to go over

306
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:41,959
Speaker 14: and call the same plays that the the ones are

307
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 14: on the other field. You know, we've worked blitz, we've

308
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 14: worked you no huddle, QB runs, We've done all kinds

309
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:49,560
Speaker 14: of stuff. I think just you know what we've got

310
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 14: accomplished in that short time of eight days. I think

311
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:53,320
Speaker 14: we feel really good that it was very productive.

312
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:55,760
Speaker 6: Anthony Schwartz had a tough year last year.

313
00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:56,600
Speaker 8: What is his.

314
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:58,480
Speaker 12: Attitude like good?

315
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:00,079
Speaker 14: You know, he comes out and works when you know

316
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:01,840
Speaker 14: when he gets out there, he flies around and he

317
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 14: definitely shows you the speed that you need. It's just

318
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:05,840
Speaker 14: you know, he's just gotta make the places when they

319
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:06,720
Speaker 14: come to him, and he will.

320
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 6: With Elijah, obviously, you guys are using him all over

321
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:11,959
Speaker 6: the place. What do you like best about him? What

322
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 6: he's lined up in the backfield?

323
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 14: His ability to want to carry the ball and then

324
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:17,400
Speaker 14: run routes out of that backfield. Maybe know if they

325
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:19,240
Speaker 14: want to leave a linebacker in the game and try

326
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 14: to match up with that, and obviously the advantage would

327
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:23,480
Speaker 14: go to him. But he does a lot of good

328
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 14: things out of the backfield. You know, we had h

329
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:28,160
Speaker 14: Randall Cobb in Green Bay and he was in the

330
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 14: backfield a lot as a ball carry, as a bubble catcher,

331
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:32,400
Speaker 14: all the things you could do free release and motion

332
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:35,720
Speaker 14: him out and create empties. So he has that versatility

333
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:36,960
Speaker 14: where you can hand him the ball as well.

334
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:38,400
Speaker 2: Do you think you need to hand it to him

335
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:40,840
Speaker 2: like your defenses to respect that he might get the ball?

336
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:42,800
Speaker 12: I would think so. I think so.

337
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:45,679
Speaker 8: It's number eighty players PLU season in.

338
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:48,640
Speaker 12: The spring in Watkins.

339
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:51,880
Speaker 5: Yes, does he look like a player team.

340
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:54,000
Speaker 14: Really impressive, came in late and really picked up the offense,

341
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:56,600
Speaker 14: very few mental errors, seems to have a good grasp

342
00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:58,240
Speaker 14: of it, makes plays when they come to him, and

343
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:00,040
Speaker 14: he could He's another guy that could run. So I

344
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:01,679
Speaker 14: have been impressed with his ability to pick up the

345
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:02,880
Speaker 14: offense as quickly as he has.

346
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:05,719
Speaker 16: You know, it's the I'm sure it's like this the

347
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:09,319
Speaker 16: most water backs appotation greatly. But you know, I do

348
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 16: see to Sean doing so many different things after practice,

349
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:15,720
Speaker 16: you know, work on just arm angles and and things

350
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:18,199
Speaker 16: what work and all that kind of stuff. Is he

351
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:21,120
Speaker 16: like way up there just to terms of grinding and

352
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:22,400
Speaker 16: and looking.

353
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 14: Extra at overn uh, I saw the same thing you saw.

354
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:26,880
Speaker 14: You know, those are those are drills that he he

355
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:28,680
Speaker 14: stays out late. I think he was maybe one or

356
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:31,920
Speaker 14: two guys left on the field the other day. You know,

357
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 14: that's that's really the guys that are great are the

358
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:36,040
Speaker 14: guys that are motivated to work until you know the

359
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 14: they've they've finished the day. And his day didn't finish

360
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:40,760
Speaker 14: when practice was over. So the you want you want

361
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:43,000
Speaker 14: your leaders to set that example and work extra hard,

362
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 14: especially at that position.

363
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:45,160
Speaker 6: Are there opportunities to.

364
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:46,560
Speaker 5: Be knock prefer Jerome Fo to be that.

365
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 6: Number two back behind it? Just what have you seen

366
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 6: from him?

367
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 8: And you know what to mension?

368
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 5: Do you think he can bring that Roe?

369
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 14: Yeah, I see uh a young player that's really matured

370
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:57,640
Speaker 14: over the off season and starting to come into his

371
00:14:57,720 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 14: own as far as his understanding of the system.

372
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:01,760
Speaker 12: Especially in the protection phase.

373
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:04,360
Speaker 14: He has ability also to come out of the backfield

374
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:05,560
Speaker 14: and make plays in the past game.

375
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:07,920
Speaker 12: And he has some really great feet and vision.

376
00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 14: In the run game. So excited to see him as

377
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 14: we move forward. Feel very comfortable with him as our

378
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:14,760
Speaker 14: backup right now, how.

379
00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:17,120
Speaker 6: Would you talk about how would you look at it?

380
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:20,600
Speaker 9: It seemed like a diminished value of running backs, you

381
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:24,120
Speaker 9: know when you like the Dalvin could Kareem Zeco?

382
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:26,920
Speaker 6: Well, how do you see that diminish value?

383
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:29,560
Speaker 14: That's not really in my area. I know we have

384
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:31,280
Speaker 14: a good one and I'm happy that we do. You know,

385
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:35,000
Speaker 14: that's that's where that is. It's it seems to have

386
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:38,240
Speaker 14: devalued over the look you know, past ten years. But

387
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 14: I guess I would say if you went into a

388
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:41,760
Speaker 14: season and it didn't have one of a running back,

389
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:43,040
Speaker 14: you'd be in bad shape.

390
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:45,280
Speaker 12: So we're fortunate that we have a great one here.

391
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 6: I know Jordanaans hasn't practice Alaska place, but what does

392
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:50,280
Speaker 6: he add to this off?

393
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 14: You know, his strengths obviously is in the past game

394
00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 14: his ability to run vertically with speed, and his ability

395
00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:58,080
Speaker 14: to make plays on the ball. His hands are strong,

396
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:00,720
Speaker 14: had a big catch over top of a defender the

397
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 14: other day. Things like that, he runs really good route,

398
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 14: strong hands.

399
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:08,040
Speaker 7: I We're probably gonna see a lot of Kellen and

400
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:11,520
Speaker 7: and DTR on Thursday. How of what have you seen

401
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 7: out of both of them in terms of their matuation,

402
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:17,440
Speaker 7: their growth? Sure that that you're kind of excited to see,

403
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:18,760
Speaker 7: you know, out.

404
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 8: There on Thursday.

405
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:21,520
Speaker 14: Absolutely, both those guys have had a really good camp.

406
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:24,560
Speaker 14: You know, they've had limited reps at times, kind of

407
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:27,000
Speaker 14: switching days back and forth between who gets those set

408
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:30,920
Speaker 14: of reps, you know, for for DTR just continue to grow.

409
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:32,480
Speaker 14: Kellen's a little bit of a head as far as

410
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 14: mentally being in the system longer. But both those guys

411
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 14: they go out there, they they they're exceptional with their footwork,

412
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:39,440
Speaker 14: their timing and and their.

413
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:40,600
Speaker 12: Ability to get through progression.

414
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:42,240
Speaker 14: So excited to see that live and then add the

415
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:43,880
Speaker 14: element of them using their legs as well.

416
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:49,920
Speaker 12: I think it's gonna be a fun night. What is your.

417
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:52,480
Speaker 16: Philosophy in terms of how much should you run your

418
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:56,320
Speaker 16: destrictive balance between keeping you safe and letting him use

419
00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 16: that talent that he does.

420
00:16:57,440 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 14: How do you it's a natural thing for him, you know,

421
00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:01,960
Speaker 14: when he feels that he goes. I think that's something

422
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 14: that that's that's fine with us. Always encouraging him to

423
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 14: continue through the progression, don't skip a step, and then

424
00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:10,119
Speaker 14: if there you get to the last part of that

425
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:11,439
Speaker 14: progression and there's nothing there.

426
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:11,960
Speaker 12: Then take off.

427
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:14,560
Speaker 14: So continue to coach through the progression and then allowing

428
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:16,720
Speaker 14: him to be be special in them when he.

429
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:17,600
Speaker 12: Does escape.

430
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 8: It is.

431
00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:27,359
Speaker 14: It's good and it's great that they're getting the reps Thursday.

432
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:30,560
Speaker 14: The practices have been great again. I can't say enough

433
00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:33,080
Speaker 14: about James Hudson. He's a guy now in year three

434
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:35,560
Speaker 14: that's really figured it out and really matured, is becoming

435
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:38,000
Speaker 14: a really good pro. And then Weakley on the other side,

436
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:39,680
Speaker 14: it's done a really nice job as well. So I

437
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:42,720
Speaker 14: like our depth there. You know, it'll be important in

438
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:43,520
Speaker 14: these preseason games.

439
00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:44,160
Speaker 12: To see them play.

440
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:47,479
Speaker 11: Alex, I know, I think when you guys drafted him,

441
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:49,040
Speaker 11: I think it was an injury. Like describe his demeanor

442
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:51,000
Speaker 11: as he's gonna work first and not really talk.

443
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:52,960
Speaker 14: I guess have you seen that through these these early

444
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:55,520
Speaker 14: you know a thousand percent he just he just goes

445
00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:58,000
Speaker 14: out and grinds do this great job. All those receivers

446
00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:00,320
Speaker 14: we had to practice the other day there refor down

447
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:04,239
Speaker 14: the field blocking just it was inspiring to make sure

448
00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:04,919
Speaker 14: we pointed out to.

449
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:05,880
Speaker 12: Everybody to see those guys.

450
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:07,959
Speaker 14: They work hard and the CEO does a great job

451
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:09,400
Speaker 14: with those guys getting them ready to play.

452
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 12: And said the guy that's a you know, he's not

453
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:12,920
Speaker 12: going to say anything. He's going to go out and

454
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:13,440
Speaker 12: do his job.

455
00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:17,160
Speaker 1: Defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz is up next. He talks about

456
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:19,639
Speaker 1: the leadership he's seen from the D line and how

457
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:22,400
Speaker 1: the high energy the defense has shown in practice has

458
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:24,760
Speaker 1: been important as they get ready for twenty twenty three.

459
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:26,680
Speaker 5: All right, here we go, Jim.

460
00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:28,840
Speaker 7: Last time we talked to you back in May, you

461
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:31,480
Speaker 7: talked about the difficulty and really assessing things to you

462
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:33,400
Speaker 7: really started to play football.

463
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:35,359
Speaker 5: Cut the pads on. I know you haven't had them

464
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:36,440
Speaker 5: on for long.

465
00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:39,000
Speaker 12: But what have you been able to discern from the

466
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:40,000
Speaker 12: time you have so.

467
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:42,399
Speaker 5: Far that we're not ready yet.

468
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:45,920
Speaker 10: You know, that's probably the biggest thing, you know, when

469
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:49,480
Speaker 10: the style of defense we play depends so much on

470
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:53,440
Speaker 10: playing off of another guy as opposed to just sort

471
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 10: of punkering down and playing your responsibility, and there's only

472
00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 10: really one way to practice that, and that's full speed.

473
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:03,400
Speaker 10: So you know, we're still we're still a work in progress.

474
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:07,040
Speaker 10: We're making progress, but it's something that doesn't happen overnight.

475
00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:10,320
Speaker 10: We've had very limited opportunities in full pads, you know,

476
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:14,359
Speaker 10: by by a plan, yeah, you know, but particularly for

477
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:16,720
Speaker 10: the young guys, Thursday will be a big step form.

478
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:19,440
Speaker 10: You know, we'll keep it simple for those guys and

479
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:22,880
Speaker 10: and we can we can see where they are right now.

480
00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:25,359
Speaker 10: But you know, we're only a couple of weeks in.

481
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:28,720
Speaker 10: We'll use the whole training camp to be ready for

482
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:29,240
Speaker 10: the opener.

483
00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:32,440
Speaker 6: Where do you think you have made the most progress.

484
00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:35,960
Speaker 4: Well, I'd say more in.

485
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:41,359
Speaker 10: Like blitz, responsibility and and those kind of things, because

486
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:44,960
Speaker 10: with all the walkthroughs and everything else that we've been getting, Jeff,

487
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:48,919
Speaker 10: we can, we can, we can, you know, we can

488
00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:50,960
Speaker 10: use those reps. You don't have to be full speed

489
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:53,760
Speaker 10: to get to your right gap to blitz in the

490
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:57,280
Speaker 10: right spot and things like that. So, you know, we

491
00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:00,240
Speaker 10: we don't restart our installation when we come to amp.

492
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:02,920
Speaker 10: We start off the first day with everything that was

493
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:04,880
Speaker 10: installed in the spring, and the guys did a good

494
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 10: job of responding to that and we were able to

495
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:10,000
Speaker 10: hit the ground running with with that kind of stuff.

496
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:12,560
Speaker 17: Do you when you were evaluating you guys during camp,

497
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:16,440
Speaker 17: does the game reps way more heavily than a singond.

498
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:18,600
Speaker 10: Practice day er? You know, it's the whole It's the

499
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:21,480
Speaker 10: whole body of work tony. It's it's game reps, it's

500
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:26,920
Speaker 10: practice reps, it's walk through, it's meetings, it's weight room.

501
00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:30,680
Speaker 5: It's all part of the part of the evaluation process.

502
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:33,159
Speaker 10: How you do something is how you do everything, and

503
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:37,400
Speaker 10: we preach that and you know there's I mean, obviously

504
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:38,560
Speaker 10: games are gonna.

505
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:41,080
Speaker 5: Mean more, but it's not the only thing that we

506
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:42,439
Speaker 5: evaluate the w How was.

507
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:47,040
Speaker 15: The early in a camp not in pads, you're working

508
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 15: on technique and things like that. How do you feel

509
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:52,840
Speaker 15: in those padded practice to padded practices that the the

510
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:54,160
Speaker 15: technique that you guys.

511
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:55,160
Speaker 6: Worked on translated.

512
00:20:57,560 --> 00:21:00,399
Speaker 10: It's still work in progress, you know it. And when

513
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:03,240
Speaker 10: you're learning a new technique, a lot of times you

514
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:06,200
Speaker 10: know when the uh I'll say, when when all of

515
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:09,119
Speaker 10: a sudden it becomes pads or it becomes a a

516
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:13,680
Speaker 10: first preseason game, you tend to UH resort back and

517
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:15,960
Speaker 10: then you just gotta plow through that. You know, I

518
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:18,440
Speaker 10: think anything any of us have tried to lose weight.

519
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:21,360
Speaker 10: You know, you you're on that diet and you're feeling good,

520
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:23,240
Speaker 10: and then you know, and then all of a sudden,

521
00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:26,560
Speaker 10: that afternoon comes and you cheat, and next thing you're

522
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:28,520
Speaker 10: set back, and then you know, and then you sort

523
00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:31,320
Speaker 10: of regroup and you start again and you just keep

524
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:34,680
Speaker 10: making progress. So we've had setbacks, but we wanna trend

525
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:37,320
Speaker 10: like the S and P five hundred, where over time

526
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:40,200
Speaker 10: we're making progress. We don't wanna be that, you know,

527
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:43,760
Speaker 10: that cardiac rhythm where we're up one day and down

528
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:44,200
Speaker 10: one day.

529
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:46,280
Speaker 18: And when you when you say you know we're.

530
00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:48,639
Speaker 16: Not ready at how m how much we're.

531
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:51,040
Speaker 10: Ready make you well, we're not ready for a for

532
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:53,400
Speaker 10: a opening game yet, but we're ready.

533
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:56,080
Speaker 8: We're ready for preseason game and we're ready for practice

534
00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:56,760
Speaker 8: O what.

535
00:21:56,960 --> 00:22:01,640
Speaker 16: My My question is, how does it change anything, if anything,

536
00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:04,840
Speaker 16: that you have those three ANFC North games in the

537
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:08,800
Speaker 16: first four week weeks. Does that accelerate what things that

538
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:11,160
Speaker 16: you might not do or how how much ready more?

539
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:12,480
Speaker 8: Where do you have a be Yeah?

540
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:15,600
Speaker 10: I mean, we we see so many different things in

541
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:18,560
Speaker 10: our division that you know, we do have to cover

542
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:21,680
Speaker 10: a lot of ground in training camp. But you know,

543
00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:24,600
Speaker 10: if you ask these guys, you know about the first

544
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:27,320
Speaker 10: three opponents today, I would hope that they wouldn't know

545
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:29,920
Speaker 10: it w any of the three cause they're just worried

546
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:33,280
Speaker 10: about practice today. And you know, the the emphasis of

547
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:36,560
Speaker 10: practice and competing and their technique, and if we do

548
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:39,560
Speaker 10: a good job of that on a daily basis, then

549
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:41,480
Speaker 10: we'll be ready for those first three opponents.

550
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:45,200
Speaker 5: If we're here August first, August first.

551
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:47,800
Speaker 10: Yeah, if we're here August first and we're thinking about

552
00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:50,280
Speaker 10: week three, we're in the wrong business and we're not

553
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:52,560
Speaker 10: gonna make any grounds. So I like where the guys

554
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:55,639
Speaker 10: are come out on a daily basis and work. But

555
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:58,639
Speaker 10: your point is we do have a lot of stuff,

556
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:00,639
Speaker 10: not just in the first three games, but there's a

557
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:02,639
Speaker 10: lot of things that are gonna come up over the

558
00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:04,800
Speaker 10: course of the year, a lot of different styles of offense,

559
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:08,040
Speaker 10: a lot of different things that you know, when we play,

560
00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:11,359
Speaker 10: you know, a middle of the season game and there's

561
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:13,200
Speaker 10: something that we put into a game plan.

562
00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:15,359
Speaker 5: Hopefully it's not the first time we've executed it.

563
00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:18,159
Speaker 10: That we've we've covered that ground at some point in

564
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:19,440
Speaker 10: the off season training camp.

565
00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:21,560
Speaker 18: Did you have these guys on defense that talked about

566
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:23,960
Speaker 18: how they wanted to have better communication as.

567
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 4: You're from early into training camp, where do you think.

568
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:28,760
Speaker 8: That stands with you taking the brands and how is.

569
00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:30,600
Speaker 18: That kind of a developed so hard?

570
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:33,080
Speaker 10: Yeah, I think I falls into just question about the blitz.

571
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:37,160
Speaker 10: I I do think we've made progress there and you know, communication,

572
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:40,920
Speaker 10: we've we've streamlined a lot of communication and and things

573
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:43,080
Speaker 10: like that, and you know, w what we just did

574
00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:45,920
Speaker 10: in our walkthroughs and things like that where you're a

575
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:48,720
Speaker 10: quote full speed before the snap. You know, all that

576
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:52,640
Speaker 10: communication has to be urgent. And you know, we've we've

577
00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:55,639
Speaker 10: made progress there and I think you can you know,

578
00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:58,080
Speaker 10: I don't I don't think you don't need full.

579
00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:01,679
Speaker 5: Pads to to to improve the communication.

580
00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:06,320
Speaker 10: Now, when we were at Greenbrier our first day of pads,

581
00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:09,280
Speaker 10: our communication was the worst, right, and it was we

582
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:11,760
Speaker 10: we made mistakes on things that or you made more

583
00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:14,240
Speaker 10: mistakes that first day mental mistakes than we did the

584
00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:17,119
Speaker 10: whole week before that. Because there was a guy in

585
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:19,440
Speaker 10: pads lined up next year. It just changed the dynamic.

586
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:22,359
Speaker 10: You know what, Well, the what, the more that happens,

587
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:24,879
Speaker 10: the more it happens, the players will get comfortable. It's

588
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:27,359
Speaker 10: one thing getting comfortable in a meeting, getting comfortable on

589
00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:29,800
Speaker 10: the walk through, getting comfortable in a non padded practice,

590
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:34,680
Speaker 10: getting comfortable in a padded practice, and now real games.

591
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:36,639
Speaker 5: You know, and you know we're somewhere in the middle

592
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:37,440
Speaker 5: of that progression.

593
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:39,439
Speaker 7: Do you like the energy you saw out of them,

594
00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:41,879
Speaker 7: because it seemed like those last three practices down in

595
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:45,240
Speaker 7: in West Virginia, the energy from the defense especially was

596
00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 7: really really high. Did you like where that that's at

597
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:48,280
Speaker 7: at least?

598
00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:50,680
Speaker 10: Well, we put an emphasis on that, you know, we're

599
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:52,760
Speaker 10: gonna try to lead the league and effort, we're gonna

600
00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:54,920
Speaker 10: try to lead the league, and you know, passion for

601
00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:57,000
Speaker 10: the game and things like that, and that doesn't just

602
00:24:57,080 --> 00:25:00,560
Speaker 10: happen on Sunday. You gotta practice it. And you know,

603
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:02,919
Speaker 10: I think the guys have responded well to that message

604
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:06,880
Speaker 10: Brown's brought in a cornerback today. Your thoughts on that, Yeah,

605
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:08,440
Speaker 10: I mean we just had a s had a spot.

606
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:09,040
Speaker 12: We'll get him.

607
00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:11,920
Speaker 10: We'll get him up speed quick. And you know, he's

608
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:14,119
Speaker 10: already been in our meetings and took some snaps and

609
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:16,160
Speaker 10: walked through. So we'll get him up speed right away.

610
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:20,040
Speaker 10: And you know, if there's if, if, if the opportunity

611
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:22,240
Speaker 10: comes for him to play on Thursday while the package

612
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:23,280
Speaker 10: ready for him to play.

613
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:26,000
Speaker 11: Y Jim, Jim, Sorry when you hired that from what

614
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:27,040
Speaker 11: what was it that you saw?

615
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:29,200
Speaker 6: You wanna bring any guy like that?

616
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:31,359
Speaker 5: Well, I mean I don't know.

617
00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:38,280
Speaker 10: I mean I mean young, old, black, white, hispanic, loud, quiet,

618
00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:41,080
Speaker 10: you know all those things.

619
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:44,480
Speaker 5: You know, none of that really matters.

620
00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:48,880
Speaker 10: It's it's your your ability to inspire and motivate your players.

621
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:52,600
Speaker 10: It's your ability to bring energy every day. It's your

622
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:56,920
Speaker 10: ability to teach technique and to teach scheme. And he

623
00:25:57,119 --> 00:26:00,359
Speaker 10: checked all those boxes, and he'd he'd been around a

624
00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:03,960
Speaker 10: lot of good people in college and he was a

625
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:07,280
Speaker 10: guy that was on the radar and he was ready

626
00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:11,440
Speaker 10: for when his time came for the interview. And he's

627
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:16,880
Speaker 10: done nothing to you know, to dissuade us from thinking

628
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:18,000
Speaker 10: that was a good decision.

629
00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:20,840
Speaker 6: What have you seen out of the linebacker group?

630
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:23,800
Speaker 2: Does it make it hard not having maybe two of

631
00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:25,880
Speaker 2: your top guys being able to be in team deals.

632
00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:28,320
Speaker 10: Yet No, I I sort of look at it the

633
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:31,680
Speaker 10: other way is it puts It gives more work to

634
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:33,720
Speaker 10: the younger guys who can use who can use it,

635
00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:38,200
Speaker 10: and it also forces all those guys to act like

636
00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:43,040
Speaker 10: vets and to and to operate efficiently like vets. You know,

637
00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:47,520
Speaker 10: you can have a comfort comfort blanket or whatever the

638
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:50,200
Speaker 10: word is. You have a security miket. Yeah, security mirket minus.

639
00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:53,440
Speaker 10: You get a security blanket, have an a walk and

640
00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:57,000
Speaker 10: talk out there, and then nobody else takes that next step.

641
00:26:57,240 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 10: You know, nobody else really grows up. But you know,

642
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:01,639
Speaker 10: you throw them in the pool and they have to

643
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:03,680
Speaker 10: make all the calls. You saw it last year with

644
00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:05,960
Speaker 10: those guys. They had to go out and play. But

645
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:09,920
Speaker 10: now they're getting more and more and going against you

646
00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:12,880
Speaker 10: know whatever. You know, first group on offense and things

647
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:16,159
Speaker 10: like that. And you know, our standards are standard. You know,

648
00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 10: we don't we don't get graded on the curve because

649
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:21,119
Speaker 10: we have a because we have a young player or

650
00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:26,399
Speaker 10: or a rookie or anything else out there the scene have.

651
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:27,560
Speaker 6: Always been an important leader.

652
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:28,720
Speaker 5: Go ahead, go ahead.

653
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:29,960
Speaker 14: Yeah.

654
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:33,000
Speaker 11: The first practice is in West Virginia seeing Miles kind

655
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:35,320
Speaker 11: of work off the side with guys, hearing how vocal

656
00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:38,720
Speaker 11: Zadarius is like having those two guys sort of taking

657
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:40,760
Speaker 11: the rings in that regard with some of their younger teammates,

658
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:43,040
Speaker 11: Like what that means as you're trying to get everyone else.

659
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:47,399
Speaker 10: Yeah, I'd add Dalvin in there too, been an outstanding

660
00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:50,680
Speaker 10: leader for us. And you know, I think those guys

661
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:52,840
Speaker 10: that have operated at a high level of success in

662
00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:57,240
Speaker 10: the NFL, you know, it's it becomes painted forward a

663
00:27:57,280 --> 00:28:00,320
Speaker 10: little bit. I've been very pleased with those guys, have

664
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:03,959
Speaker 10: been pleased with their tempo practice. They're you know everything

665
00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:08,400
Speaker 10: about it. They've you know, they when anytime you sign

666
00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:11,200
Speaker 10: a free agent, anytime you give a guy a contract

667
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:13,560
Speaker 10: and things like that, you're telling the rest of the

668
00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:15,560
Speaker 10: guys in the locker room, Hey, this is what we're

669
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:18,359
Speaker 10: all about right here, right, And those guys have a

670
00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:19,639
Speaker 10: responsibility that you know.

671
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:21,680
Speaker 5: It's a uh spider man with great.

672
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:27,160
Speaker 10: See all you all you marvel people with great power

673
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:28,199
Speaker 10: comes great responsibility.

674
00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:31,240
Speaker 5: Well, with a great. With a big contract comes great responsibility.

675
00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:34,479
Speaker 10: It's not just about the play, it's it's about all

676
00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:36,600
Speaker 10: those stuff and I I I like those guys.

677
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:38,880
Speaker 5: Those guys have all done it in the wrong way.

678
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:40,560
Speaker 5: Each guy is a little bit different.

679
00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:43,840
Speaker 10: But you know when you talk about the D line,

680
00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:46,960
Speaker 10: you talk about the group, and you know it's a

681
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:49,200
Speaker 10: little bit like an offensive line. It's not an individual

682
00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:53,440
Speaker 10: you know position. One guy might flush quarterback, another guy

683
00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:56,040
Speaker 10: makes the sack. One guy might execute a game perfectly

684
00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:59,520
Speaker 10: to free up another guy. You know, it's it's it's

685
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:03,080
Speaker 10: a group, it's a it's a mentality of all for one,

686
00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:03,800
Speaker 10: one for all.

687
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:06,280
Speaker 5: And you know those guys are leading the way with.

688
00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:08,440
Speaker 8: That jimmy along along those lines.

689
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:10,600
Speaker 13: How how important is it not only have those guys

690
00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:12,920
Speaker 13: play off each other, but you know, those top D

691
00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:15,360
Speaker 13: linemen you're talking about the relationships they have with each

692
00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:18,160
Speaker 13: other in terms of you know, selflessness and the and

693
00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:20,680
Speaker 13: the you know kind of the the quest to create

694
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:23,120
Speaker 13: the best matchups that you guys see as a coaching.

695
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:26,640
Speaker 10: St Yeah, you know when when your best players are

696
00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:31,640
Speaker 10: also your hardest working players, your guys that you know

697
00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:35,600
Speaker 10: that you know I said before, we expect to hold

698
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:39,360
Speaker 10: our best players the most accountable. But that's one thing

699
00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:41,880
Speaker 10: to say, to hold your best players the most accountable.

700
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:45,800
Speaker 10: Where you're really getting somewhere is when your best players

701
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:47,680
Speaker 10: hold themselves the most accountable.

702
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:48,160
Speaker 5: You know.

703
00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:51,280
Speaker 10: And I think that, you know, I think that. I

704
00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:55,400
Speaker 10: don't think I answered that question. I I I went

705
00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:57,360
Speaker 10: to something else, so it was I.

706
00:29:57,520 --> 00:29:59,440
Speaker 13: Still appreciate your point, but I was asking about the

707
00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:00,840
Speaker 13: relationship between those times.

708
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:03,400
Speaker 10: Yeah, you know, yeah, it d Well, it takes a village,

709
00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:06,400
Speaker 10: I guess, you know, it takes a village, and everybody's

710
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:08,640
Speaker 10: gonna be a little different, you know, like Z's got

711
00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:11,880
Speaker 10: a lot of energy, and he's really loud, Dalvin, you know,

712
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:13,720
Speaker 10: you don't hear a lot from them, but they all

713
00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:17,560
Speaker 10: have their own individual style and together they all play off.

714
00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:20,520
Speaker 10: They all play off each other and fill each other's

715
00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:24,320
Speaker 10: blind spots and you know, cover each other's blind spots.

716
00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:28,520
Speaker 5: I'm mixing my metaphors here, you know. So, yeah, that's

717
00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:29,440
Speaker 5: a that's a big part.

718
00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:33,720
Speaker 10: We're not just out here blocking and tackling and getting

719
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:36,560
Speaker 10: off blocks and doing technique. We're also building a team

720
00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:42,240
Speaker 10: and the synergy between players, their responsibility to each other.

721
00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:45,080
Speaker 10: You know, we're we're training that as well, and I

722
00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:47,080
Speaker 10: think a lot of people can overlook that when you

723
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:50,240
Speaker 10: go to training camp because it becomes all about, you know,

724
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:52,960
Speaker 10: the scheme or all about the pads. There's a human

725
00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:56,240
Speaker 10: dynamic to this, and you know, we need to find

726
00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:58,800
Speaker 10: a way over these next you know, month or so

727
00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:02,680
Speaker 10: that the sum is greater than our individual parts. If

728
00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:04,600
Speaker 10: we do that, then we'll have done our job.

729
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:07,080
Speaker 1: We finish off the coaches portion of this episode with

730
00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:10,560
Speaker 1: Special Teams coordinator Bubba vn Trone talking about the development

731
00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:13,640
Speaker 1: of Kickercade York and what he's doing to eliminate the

732
00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:15,760
Speaker 1: penalties on his side of the football.

733
00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:20,240
Speaker 10: It looks like jakem Grant picks the first reps and

734
00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:21,920
Speaker 10: bunt and kick off.

735
00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:26,160
Speaker 8: Yeah, see on track to be ready for He looks good.

736
00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:26,760
Speaker 12: He does.

737
00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:27,560
Speaker 8: He looks really good.

738
00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:30,160
Speaker 18: At some point we'll get him going in team drills

739
00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:34,000
Speaker 18: and and into games. We still have to have a

740
00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:36,440
Speaker 18: discussion on who's going to go in this game. But

741
00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:40,360
Speaker 18: he's worked extremely hard to get back.

742
00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:40,840
Speaker 8: To this point.

743
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:44,600
Speaker 18: Obviously, he's done this before, so he's got a little

744
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:47,920
Speaker 18: bit of experience and understands his body and you know

745
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:50,880
Speaker 18: what he needs to do to be effective. Whenever we

746
00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:53,080
Speaker 18: do our turnover circle in the beginning, we have the

747
00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:57,960
Speaker 18: ball handling and he's shown you know, really good judgment

748
00:31:58,120 --> 00:31:58,840
Speaker 18: and tracking.

749
00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:02,040
Speaker 8: So that's been positive. Yeah, does he seem to have

750
00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:06,280
Speaker 8: his spa. He looks pretty good. He looks explosive. Yeah,

751
00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:06,720
Speaker 8: he does.

752
00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:08,880
Speaker 18: And like I said, once we get going into like

753
00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:11,480
Speaker 18: the team setting, I think we'll we'll be able to

754
00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:13,480
Speaker 18: identify and you know, evaluate it further.

755
00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:15,160
Speaker 8: But I think he's done a good job to this

756
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:15,760
Speaker 8: point for sure.

757
00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:19,200
Speaker 7: Ye feeling dard and what I mean, I know he's

758
00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:20,720
Speaker 7: been out the last couple he was out the last

759
00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:23,360
Speaker 7: couple of practices done in down West Virginia.

760
00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:24,640
Speaker 12: But what do you what are you seen on him?

761
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:27,880
Speaker 5: Because I I know return, you know, being a return

762
00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:29,320
Speaker 5: guy was a big part of his game.

763
00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:32,480
Speaker 18: Yeah, I like, I liked him as a returner coming

764
00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:35,040
Speaker 18: out of North Texas. He was a dual returner there,

765
00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:40,040
Speaker 18: combo returner. He judges the ball well, he's smooth, natural catcher,

766
00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:44,200
Speaker 18: you know, not the biggest body, but he's got good speed.

767
00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:47,200
Speaker 18: He's elusive. Yeah, he's done a good job as well.

768
00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:48,680
Speaker 12: But when you.

769
00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:52,800
Speaker 6: Since you've done hitting practice.

770
00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:56,240
Speaker 8: Is well, who doesn't hit in practice. Well, did you

771
00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:58,080
Speaker 8: watch our kickoff return period last week?

772
00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:00,520
Speaker 6: I think I fish couldn't be there.

773
00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:02,480
Speaker 5: But anyway, okay, okay, the question.

774
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:06,560
Speaker 9: Is is it difficult to know who your best covered

775
00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:10,840
Speaker 9: guys are gonna be when you can't buy around and

776
00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:12,520
Speaker 9: smash into each other.

777
00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:15,800
Speaker 18: Yeah, I mean in a in a practice setting, we're

778
00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:18,240
Speaker 18: going to get its browns versus browns. I mean, Kevin

779
00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:20,320
Speaker 18: talked to our team today. You know, we're gonna always

780
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:22,760
Speaker 18: take care of each other. There's a way that you

781
00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:25,800
Speaker 18: can practice blocking and you know, take on and things

782
00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:27,160
Speaker 18: like that in a safe manner.

783
00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:29,120
Speaker 5: So we'll do that.

784
00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:31,880
Speaker 18: We're gonna play fast and aggressive even in practice setting,

785
00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:37,200
Speaker 18: but we'll every every time we practice in a team setting.

786
00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:40,000
Speaker 8: For us, we'll play physical. Yeah, well you'll see it today.

787
00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:41,960
Speaker 2: It looked like one of the I think it was

788
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:44,959
Speaker 2: a gunner drill. Looked like MJ was getting down there

789
00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:47,040
Speaker 2: every time inside the five and down in it. Is

790
00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:48,920
Speaker 2: he one of the guys looked at it might be

791
00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:50,960
Speaker 2: in that rotation of guard.

792
00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:53,520
Speaker 18: Yeah, he's I mean, he's definitely a guy that we're considering.

793
00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:56,000
Speaker 18: There's definitely a number of guys that we're looking at

794
00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:59,920
Speaker 18: that position. These preseason games and then our live period

795
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:03,320
Speaker 18: are a huge evaluation tool for us for that because

796
00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:06,680
Speaker 18: in preseason very rarely are you gonna see a lot

797
00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:07,800
Speaker 18: of schemed up rushes.

798
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:09,960
Speaker 8: You're really not looking to do that.

799
00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:12,640
Speaker 18: In a preseason game you wanna evaluate, You're really trying

800
00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:17,560
Speaker 18: to evaluate coverage from the perimeter. So you know, y al,

801
00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:19,640
Speaker 18: most teams are gonna play a lighter box, we say,

802
00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:22,800
Speaker 18: which will now give more attention to the gunners.

803
00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:24,279
Speaker 8: So most most teams will play we.

804
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:26,960
Speaker 18: Call like doublevice, where you have two guys on a

805
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:28,920
Speaker 18: gunner and we wanna see who can beat double vice,

806
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:31,800
Speaker 18: cause that's essentially like the hardest thing to do in football.

807
00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:34,200
Speaker 1: Well, you guys are back home, how much do you

808
00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:36,080
Speaker 1: do you have a plan for kicking at the stadium

809
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:37,240
Speaker 1: and how often.

810
00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:40,239
Speaker 18: Will occur with Yeah, w we're gonna We're gonna talk

811
00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:42,600
Speaker 18: through that. We definitely need to get down down there

812
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:44,879
Speaker 18: at some point. I wanna say, we have a joint

813
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:49,200
Speaker 18: practice down there later in camp potentially, but we will definitely,

814
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:51,440
Speaker 18: you know, coordinate that. We haven't talked through it just yet.

815
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:54,160
Speaker 16: What are your thoughts on, uh, you know, the team

816
00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:55,920
Speaker 16: and the players kind of getting it should be at

817
00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:56,960
Speaker 16: the end of a practice.

818
00:34:57,360 --> 00:34:58,719
Speaker 8: Uh, like what happened in the green?

819
00:34:58,760 --> 00:34:59,919
Speaker 16: Where would you rather see?

820
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:01,960
Speaker 8: Did you beat us and dial it back then.

821
00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:03,799
Speaker 6: Just have to dial up?

822
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:04,239
Speaker 5: Or what?

823
00:35:04,440 --> 00:35:05,120
Speaker 7: What are your thoughts?

824
00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:07,279
Speaker 8: I felt like Kevin handled that well.

825
00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:10,080
Speaker 18: I think you know it happened h a couple times

826
00:35:10,120 --> 00:35:13,480
Speaker 18: in the in the drill, he brought the players up,

827
00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:16,439
Speaker 18: you know, said what he said. It was just really

828
00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:20,640
Speaker 18: just players only in the huddle. So we obviously ran

829
00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:23,480
Speaker 18: them after that. Do I do I agree with like

830
00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:25,320
Speaker 18: the fighting, No, we can't do that. We need to

831
00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:28,640
Speaker 18: take care of each other, especially, can't throw punches l right,

832
00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:30,480
Speaker 18: that's not the that's not the right thing to do.

833
00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:32,120
Speaker 8: But we'll practice.

834
00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:36,200
Speaker 18: We're gonna always practice aggressive and you know, finish. We

835
00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:39,239
Speaker 18: just need to be smart whenever it's talking about you know,

836
00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:42,800
Speaker 18: defense first offense around the quarterback. So that's that's a

837
00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:46,400
Speaker 18: big concern with that. But yeah, I think we'll continue

838
00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:49,160
Speaker 18: to practice smart and take care of each other.

839
00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:53,200
Speaker 12: Can you stuffed his toe?

840
00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:55,040
Speaker 5: And you needed another kicker in this game?

841
00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:57,000
Speaker 8: In this game here.

842
00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:03,200
Speaker 18: We've we probably would not kick I'm I'm I would

843
00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:04,799
Speaker 18: think we'd just go for it or.

844
00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:11,200
Speaker 8: Yeah, g or go for two. Yeah, now, No, we

845
00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:12,560
Speaker 8: don't have an emergency.

846
00:36:12,200 --> 00:36:15,080
Speaker 18: Kicker, And honestly, like with an emergency kicker situation, you

847
00:36:15,080 --> 00:36:16,719
Speaker 18: would have to have like.

848
00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:20,200
Speaker 8: A a pretty reliable operation. It's more about the operation

849
00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:21,200
Speaker 8: than it is the kicker.

850
00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:24,120
Speaker 18: We don't have a we don't have a troop backup

851
00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:26,879
Speaker 18: kicker to this point, cause r like if you put

852
00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:30,080
Speaker 18: Corey in there to kick, like, who's gonna hold you know,

853
00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:32,759
Speaker 18: So it's like and it's a lefty, So it's there's

854
00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:34,680
Speaker 18: a lot of things that factor into it. I know

855
00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:37,560
Speaker 18: that obviously last year, like Kansas City, they get into

856
00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:42,319
Speaker 18: the game and uh uh what's the dB I played

857
00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:46,880
Speaker 18: with his brother in San Francisco. Uh, I'm drawing a

858
00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:49,239
Speaker 18: blank on the safety from Casey that kicked off last year.

859
00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:52,400
Speaker 18: Do you guys remember that one? Oh yeah yeah, Eric,

860
00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:57,000
Speaker 18: Eric Read's brother, Yeah, so yeah, I mean we do,

861
00:36:57,320 --> 00:37:00,320
Speaker 18: like we identify like the backup snapper and things like that.

862
00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:02,440
Speaker 8: We have like we have guys in place to do that.

863
00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:06,400
Speaker 2: So okay, sure, are you sure what you've been emphasizing

864
00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:09,279
Speaker 2: with kids so far in camp and what kind of

865
00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:10,160
Speaker 2: natural progression?

866
00:37:12,719 --> 00:37:12,759
Speaker 16: No?

867
00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:14,560
Speaker 8: No, no, he she was saying that you were asking

868
00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:15,160
Speaker 8: the same question.

869
00:37:15,239 --> 00:37:17,760
Speaker 6: I'm sorry, what kind of natural progression do you expect

870
00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:18,279
Speaker 6: him to making?

871
00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:21,040
Speaker 8: YouTube? Yeah, I think I think he'll take big steps.

872
00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:21,520
Speaker 8: I really do.

873
00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:25,960
Speaker 18: He's done a good job of keeping everything simple right.

874
00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:29,000
Speaker 18: There hasn't been a lot of variation in his mechanics.

875
00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:32,640
Speaker 18: He's not overthinking. There's been a lot of consistency with

876
00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:36,719
Speaker 18: the operation, the snap in the hold. So that's been

877
00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:39,720
Speaker 18: a that's been a big positive. He's had great results

878
00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:44,000
Speaker 18: in in the spring and then now into training camp. Uh,

879
00:37:44,239 --> 00:37:46,120
Speaker 18: every everything's been positive, really good.

880
00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:47,120
Speaker 5: I'm excited for him.

881
00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:49,279
Speaker 11: But I know he's like talked about and he felt

882
00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:51,799
Speaker 11: like he was focusing too much on mechanics like once

883
00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:53,759
Speaker 11: the season started in. But it sounds like training camp

884
00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:55,319
Speaker 11: is when he wants to find two things. So how

885
00:37:55,320 --> 00:37:58,360
Speaker 11: do you feel about like that plan to start phasing that.

886
00:37:58,520 --> 00:37:59,120
Speaker 6: Part of it out?

887
00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:00,319
Speaker 8: I guess yeah.

888
00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:02,480
Speaker 18: So what we've done to this point, we're trying to

889
00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:05,880
Speaker 18: We're trying to get him as many team reps as possible,

890
00:38:05,960 --> 00:38:08,240
Speaker 18: especially moving into this first game, is with the protection

891
00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:09,560
Speaker 18: with the young players.

892
00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:10,319
Speaker 8: That haven't done it as much.

893
00:38:10,920 --> 00:38:12,800
Speaker 18: So we've kicked more in a team setting than we

894
00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:16,319
Speaker 18: probably normally would, and I think that those those team

895
00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:19,520
Speaker 18: reps help because you can feel everything out, you know,

896
00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:23,560
Speaker 18: you have perspective, like the visual to actually see it happen.

897
00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:26,560
Speaker 8: And he's done a good job, he really has.

898
00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:28,560
Speaker 18: He's and I think the biggest thing for him is

899
00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:32,560
Speaker 18: just keeping everything simple and applying to correction and making

900
00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:35,200
Speaker 18: the correction fast to the next rep. If there is

901
00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:41,879
Speaker 18: you know, a miskick, no, I think, I mean, there's

902
00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:45,080
Speaker 18: definitely openings. I mean, these preseason games are definitely a

903
00:38:45,120 --> 00:38:49,200
Speaker 18: big evaluation tool. The competitive practices, you know, things I'm

904
00:38:49,239 --> 00:38:54,560
Speaker 18: looking for, obviously, consistency amongst all these young players, you know, consistency,

905
00:38:54,719 --> 00:38:56,000
Speaker 18: the techniques.

906
00:38:56,120 --> 00:38:57,279
Speaker 8: Who can play aggressive.

907
00:38:58,160 --> 00:39:01,440
Speaker 18: Another big thing that I'm gonna evaluate heavily is can

908
00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:05,640
Speaker 18: we play with good discipline in fundamentals and really no

909
00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:08,799
Speaker 18: penalties like penalties in the return game.

910
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:13,320
Speaker 8: It's a lack of execution, it's a lack of focus.

911
00:39:14,440 --> 00:39:17,440
Speaker 18: You know, playing undisciplined, bad technique like that's how penalties

912
00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:19,879
Speaker 18: come about in the return game. It's I told our guys,

913
00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:22,439
Speaker 18: it's a conscious effort to push someone in the back,

914
00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:25,239
Speaker 18: like I mean, everyone's watching. I mean, you guys all

915
00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:27,360
Speaker 18: watch the games, right If you push someone in the

916
00:39:27,440 --> 00:39:29,520
Speaker 18: back like that's a conscious effort.

917
00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:29,600
Speaker 8: To do that.

918
00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:37,560
Speaker 18: So so in my career, I had I had three.

919
00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:40,279
Speaker 18: I had three penalties in my career. One was on

920
00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:43,760
Speaker 18: a punk return two or in one game against the Colts,

921
00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:46,600
Speaker 18: but I had a broken thumb and I had a

922
00:39:46,719 --> 00:39:49,320
Speaker 18: cast on, and they I think the coach told them, like,

923
00:39:49,480 --> 00:39:54,040
Speaker 18: look out for that guy holding. I'm sorry, I was

924
00:39:54,120 --> 00:39:59,480
Speaker 18: with the Browns. It as twenty twenty twelve, but I

925
00:39:59,560 --> 00:40:03,080
Speaker 18: think they were holding. They were they were holding on

926
00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:06,360
Speaker 18: kickoff return. But the guy that was covering against me

927
00:40:06,719 --> 00:40:08,920
Speaker 18: like turned sideways and turned his back to me.

928
00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:11,320
Speaker 8: You'll have to go back and watch it.

929
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:17,799
Speaker 18: Yes, it didn't look like this though, And we got

930
00:40:17,840 --> 00:40:20,160

Speaker 15: do you how do your special teamers respond to you

947
00:41:04,680 --> 00:41:06,880
Speaker 15: running with them while they're doing the drills?

948
00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:09,239
Speaker 8: Uh, I'm I'm sad you asked that question.

949
00:41:09,440 --> 00:41:12,680
Speaker 18: Sorry, because I have a sh I just find out

950
00:41:12,680 --> 00:41:14,759
Speaker 18: I have a stress reaction in my foot and I

951
00:41:14,800 --> 00:41:16,680
Speaker 18: won't be running for a month, but I'll be back.

952
00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:20,160
Speaker 8: But I love I love running down. I love it

953
00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:20,600
Speaker 8: gives me.

954
00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:23,000
Speaker 18: I'm looking at certain things whenever I'm running behind the

955
00:41:23,080 --> 00:41:27,520
Speaker 18: kickoff team and you know, g just I enjoy doing that.

956
00:41:27,640 --> 00:41:31,080
Speaker 18: I'm always gonna be an active coach like that. I

957
00:41:31,280 --> 00:41:33,520
Speaker 18: enjoy working out and things like that on the side too.

958
00:41:33,640 --> 00:41:36,560
Speaker 18: So that's a That's why I get that stress reaction.

959
00:41:37,200 --> 00:41:39,600
Speaker 18: It is what it is, you know, thankfully it's not broke.

960
00:41:40,840 --> 00:41:44,520
Speaker 7: Would you prefer to have separate kick and punk return guys?

961
00:41:45,160 --> 00:41:47,120
Speaker 7: Or I mean, are you find you know the same guy?

962
00:41:47,239 --> 00:41:49,840
Speaker 7: And is there a certain skill set that your livingpoard

963
00:41:49,920 --> 00:41:51,000
Speaker 7: one compared to the other.

964
00:41:51,719 --> 00:41:53,920
Speaker 18: When I played here, We had one guy and he

965
00:41:54,160 --> 00:41:56,359
Speaker 18: a pretty good job at it. So if we get

966
00:41:56,360 --> 00:41:58,560
Speaker 18: a guy like that, I'm good. You know, if we

967
00:41:58,600 --> 00:42:01,000
Speaker 18: can have one or two, it's as matter whatever whatever's

968
00:42:01,080 --> 00:42:03,200
Speaker 18: best for the team, whatever's best for the team will do.

969
00:42:03,520 --> 00:42:07,440
Speaker 15: Has that new kickoff rule fair catch rule changed your philosophy?

970
00:42:07,480 --> 00:42:09,279
Speaker 15: I mean, just watching the way you're running things, it

971
00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:12,560
Speaker 15: doesn't seem like it has. But just how and where

972
00:42:12,600 --> 00:42:14,080
Speaker 15: do you come out on that is now that you're

973
00:42:14,120 --> 00:42:15,399
Speaker 15: on the field and working through.

974
00:42:16,080 --> 00:42:16,880
Speaker 8: No, it hasn't.

975
00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:20,560
Speaker 18: It hasn't changed my philosophy. I will hit more on

976
00:42:20,640 --> 00:42:24,560
Speaker 18: that as we, you know, progress through the preseason. Right now,

977
00:42:24,680 --> 00:42:32,360
Speaker 18: we're we're focused on blocking, covering, and you know, protecting.

978
00:42:32,520 --> 00:42:34,200
Speaker 8: Those are the things we're focusing on right now.

979
00:42:34,520 --> 00:42:36,959
Speaker 6: So what were we talking about coming in and seeing

980
00:42:37,080 --> 00:42:38,440
Speaker 6: people tailgating go out?

981
00:42:38,440 --> 00:42:40,760
Speaker 13: Your favorite memory from you know, when you were playing

982
00:42:40,800 --> 00:42:42,320
Speaker 13: here about Brown Springs?

983
00:42:43,280 --> 00:42:46,160

Speaker 5: Uh.

988
00:42:55,520 --> 00:42:59,200
Speaker 8: We're all excited about what we have and what we

989
00:42:59,280 --> 00:42:59,800
Speaker 8: think we can be.

990
00:43:00,640 --> 00:43:05,320
Speaker 18: We just need to execute, execute, top the bottom, so

991
00:43:05,560 --> 00:43:07,600
Speaker 18: and believe it and believe that we can do it.

992
00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:11,760
Speaker 1: So after practice, quarterback Kellen Mond took to the podium

993
00:43:12,040 --> 00:43:15,879
Speaker 1: Thursday nights starting quarterback explained how much he's grown since

994
00:43:15,920 --> 00:43:18,040
Speaker 1: he came to the Browns last year and what it's

995
00:43:18,080 --> 00:43:21,680
Speaker 1: been like learning from quarterback to Sean Watson, Kellen, how.

996
00:43:21,920 --> 00:43:24,920
Speaker 7: Excited are you for your kind of the opportunity you

997
00:43:25,040 --> 00:43:26,320
Speaker 7: have for you Thursday?

998
00:43:26,920 --> 00:43:30,160
Speaker 17: I'm really excited. First time putting a Browns jersey on

999
00:43:30,280 --> 00:43:32,680
Speaker 17: in a game. Uh, gonna be able to start a

1000
00:43:33,320 --> 00:43:35,399
Speaker 17: Hall of Fame game and been off to a good

1001
00:43:35,400 --> 00:43:37,080
Speaker 17: start in training camp, So I'm really excited.

1002
00:43:37,480 --> 00:43:38,920
Speaker 6: Kellen. What does it mean to you? I mean, this

1003
00:43:39,040 --> 00:43:40,680
Speaker 6: is a game, first game of the year. You know

1004
00:43:41,120 --> 00:43:42,879
Speaker 6: he's watching that. I mean what does all that mean?

1005
00:43:43,600 --> 00:43:45,440
Speaker 17: I mean, I think when when you start to get

1006
00:43:45,480 --> 00:43:47,600
Speaker 17: more experience in the NFL, you start to realize, you know,

1007
00:43:47,719 --> 00:43:51,000
Speaker 17: whatever you put on tape, it's going to be what

1008
00:43:51,120 --> 00:43:51,840
Speaker 17: do people think of you?

1009
00:43:51,960 --> 00:43:53,480
Speaker 5: And a gonna be your results.

1010
00:43:53,560 --> 00:43:55,799
Speaker 17: So every time you step on the field, your goal

1011
00:43:55,840 --> 00:43:57,439
Speaker 17: should be put good film on tape.

1012
00:43:57,480 --> 00:43:59,799
Speaker 5: You know, play well, execute and you know.

1013
00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:01,279
Speaker 17: At the end of the day, put the ball in

1014
00:44:01,320 --> 00:44:03,960
Speaker 17: the end zone. So, uh, that's what I'm most excited for,

1015
00:44:04,120 --> 00:44:10,040
Speaker 17: wouldst since you got here this point now, I think

1016
00:44:10,160 --> 00:44:13,200
Speaker 17: just learning learning the offense obviously, and you know this

1017
00:44:13,400 --> 00:44:16,160
Speaker 17: is my third offense in the NFL, and just you know,

1018
00:44:16,239 --> 00:44:19,000
Speaker 17: getting with Kevin you know, a VP, and uh, just

1019
00:44:19,080 --> 00:44:21,040
Speaker 17: learning how I can get better with my fundamentals, how

1020
00:44:21,080 --> 00:44:22,839
Speaker 17: I can continue to be accurate and you know, make

1021
00:44:22,960 --> 00:44:24,200
Speaker 17: good decisions with the football.

1022
00:44:24,520 --> 00:44:27,440
Speaker 6: Does it feel like forever? Since you saying the game?

1023
00:44:28,239 --> 00:44:28,399
Speaker 12: Nah?

1024
00:44:28,600 --> 00:44:28,759
Speaker 19: Nah?

1025
00:44:29,440 --> 00:44:32,200
Speaker 5: Nah? What does this offensive suit your style?

1026
00:44:32,360 --> 00:44:34,839
Speaker 12: Fit your you know, your ability and skill set.

1027
00:44:35,560 --> 00:44:38,120
Speaker 17: You know, it's it's the West Coast system, but it

1028
00:44:38,440 --> 00:44:40,480
Speaker 17: has a lot of spread elements to it. And I think,

1029
00:44:40,840 --> 00:44:42,840
Speaker 17: you know, part of part of the goal this offseason

1030
00:44:42,920 --> 00:44:45,960
Speaker 17: and getting some other receiverss to even spread out a

1031
00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:48,080
Speaker 17: little bit more and see how we can you know,

1032
00:44:48,320 --> 00:44:50,520
Speaker 17: give a lot of these playmakers the opportunity to go

1033
00:44:50,640 --> 00:44:53,120
Speaker 17: make plays. So I think it's a blend of you know,

1034
00:44:53,280 --> 00:44:55,640
Speaker 17: the play action and run you know with Nick Chubb,

1035
00:44:55,719 --> 00:45:01,120
Speaker 17: and but also the vertical threat game, a good.

1036
00:45:01,040 --> 00:45:05,200
Speaker 16: Receiver backhands of that DEMP chart that you're gonna be

1037
00:45:05,200 --> 00:45:06,160
Speaker 16: able to work with stuff.

1038
00:45:06,160 --> 00:45:07,759
Speaker 6: Can you just talk about you know some.

1039
00:45:10,719 --> 00:45:14,080
Speaker 17: Yeah, you know, Cedrick's obviously been playing really well, David

1040
00:45:14,120 --> 00:45:16,640
Speaker 17: Bell has been playing well, and a lot of a

1041
00:45:16,680 --> 00:45:21,000
Speaker 17: lot of the other guys in you know, huh JK

1042
00:45:21,040 --> 00:45:21,680
Speaker 17: don't play receiver.

1043
00:45:22,200 --> 00:45:23,000
Speaker 8: He ain't got hands.

1044
00:45:23,560 --> 00:45:26,040
Speaker 17: Uh, but yeah, a lot a lot of guys who

1045
00:45:26,160 --> 00:45:28,399
Speaker 17: are gonna be able to service this team really well.

1046
00:45:28,440 --> 00:45:29,000
Speaker 8: Who aren't they?

1047
00:45:29,360 --> 00:45:32,479
Speaker 17: You know, Amari Cooper's and you know, uh, Donovan Peoples, Jones.

1048
00:45:32,560 --> 00:45:35,680
Speaker 17: So we have a really talented long list of guys

1049
00:45:35,719 --> 00:45:39,480
Speaker 17: who you know, starting to get more experience and you know,

1050
00:45:39,719 --> 00:45:42,160
Speaker 17: they continue to play well, Coach would definitely develop more

1051
00:45:42,160 --> 00:45:42,879
Speaker 17: trust within them.

1052
00:45:43,160 --> 00:45:45,920
Speaker 7: You've worked a lot with Dale and h Baldwin over

1053
00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:48,840
Speaker 7: the course of the last week or so. What do

1054
00:45:48,920 --> 00:45:50,600
Speaker 7: you tell us a little bit about him and what

1055
00:45:50,680 --> 00:45:53,200
Speaker 7: you've noticed about him as you know since last year.

1056
00:45:54,040 --> 00:45:55,560
Speaker 17: You know, I think it's one of the guys who

1057
00:45:55,800 --> 00:45:57,640
Speaker 17: obviously he's good when he comes on the field, but

1058
00:45:57,760 --> 00:46:00,399
Speaker 17: he's really intelligent when it comes to the class room

1059
00:46:00,480 --> 00:46:02,640
Speaker 17: and uh, you know, he he wants to, you know,

1060
00:46:02,920 --> 00:46:05,040
Speaker 17: try and think the game just like a quarterback. And

1061
00:46:05,400 --> 00:46:07,320
Speaker 17: you know, anytime you're able to do that as a receiver,

1062
00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:09,280
Speaker 17: it always helps and translates to the field.

1063
00:46:10,120 --> 00:46:13,000
Speaker 11: Hell's being here last year and being in this room, Like,

1064
00:46:13,080 --> 00:46:15,319
Speaker 11: what did you learn from from your experience last year

1065
00:46:15,320 --> 00:46:15,719
Speaker 11: that you think.

1066
00:46:15,600 --> 00:46:16,720
Speaker 6: You can take over into Thursday?

1067
00:46:17,360 --> 00:46:17,480
Speaker 19: Uh?

1068
00:46:17,600 --> 00:46:20,200
Speaker 17: You know, I think every quarterback is able to present

1069
00:46:20,400 --> 00:46:22,960
Speaker 17: some sort of uh, you know, skill set where I'm

1070
00:46:22,960 --> 00:46:25,719
Speaker 17: able to learn from. And obviously Jacoby plays a lot

1071
00:46:25,800 --> 00:46:28,759
Speaker 17: different style than what Dashawn is, so you know, there's

1072
00:46:28,760 --> 00:46:30,800
Speaker 17: certain things I can learn from Jacoby about you know,

1073
00:46:30,840 --> 00:46:33,400
Speaker 17: how he kept the game really simple, played fast and

1074
00:46:33,480 --> 00:46:34,840
Speaker 17: tried to get the ball out of his hands. And

1075
00:46:34,880 --> 00:46:39,279
Speaker 17: then obviously Deshaun's playmaking ability in his you know, really

1076
00:46:39,360 --> 00:46:42,440
Speaker 17: just explosive mindset, want to create big plays. So being

1077
00:46:42,480 --> 00:46:44,840
Speaker 17: able to take certain things from both people, uh, and

1078
00:46:45,040 --> 00:46:47,319
Speaker 17: be able to see how it fits within my play style.

1079
00:46:47,640 --> 00:46:49,880
Speaker 6: You played your four life and the NFL he's like

1080
00:46:50,000 --> 00:46:50,640
Speaker 6: to sit out of it.

1081
00:46:50,960 --> 00:46:53,399
Speaker 11: How how difficult is it to deal with just being

1082
00:46:53,440 --> 00:46:55,640
Speaker 11: ad shift and knowing your time will come.

1083
00:46:55,600 --> 00:46:56,400
Speaker 6: Eventually making for that?

1084
00:46:56,640 --> 00:46:58,800
Speaker 8: Yeah, Uh, you know it's always difficult.

1085
00:46:58,880 --> 00:47:02,239
Speaker 17: And uh, obviously you know your whole entire life, you know,

1086
00:47:02,360 --> 00:47:05,120
Speaker 17: even going through college, you've played every single year and

1087
00:47:05,200 --> 00:47:06,840
Speaker 17: then you get to the NFL. But at the end

1088
00:47:06,880 --> 00:47:09,279
Speaker 17: of the day, you know, us players. Once you start

1089
00:47:09,320 --> 00:47:10,800
Speaker 17: to get a little bit older, you start to realize

1090
00:47:10,800 --> 00:47:13,200
Speaker 17: it's a business. And like I said earlier, you know,

1091
00:47:13,320 --> 00:47:15,480
Speaker 17: it's all about what you put on tape. So I'm

1092
00:47:15,560 --> 00:47:17,359
Speaker 17: just looking to go into the game, you know, put

1093
00:47:17,440 --> 00:47:19,719
Speaker 17: good film on and then just play with efficiency and

1094
00:47:19,760 --> 00:47:20,799
Speaker 17: put the ball in the end zone.

1095
00:47:22,600 --> 00:47:26,200
Speaker 7: How would you describe your your relationship with DTR I mean,

1096
00:47:26,320 --> 00:47:28,640
Speaker 7: how you guys are sort of both battling there.

1097
00:47:28,880 --> 00:47:30,080
Speaker 5: How would you describe that?

1098
00:47:30,600 --> 00:47:32,120
Speaker 8: Well, you know, I've known it for a while.

1099
00:47:32,960 --> 00:47:35,520
Speaker 17: IMG actually tried to play Bishop Gorman way back in

1100
00:47:35,560 --> 00:47:38,880
Speaker 17: the day, but they were scared to play us. But

1101
00:47:39,040 --> 00:47:41,280
Speaker 17: you know, he's I was one of the top quarterbacks

1102
00:47:41,320 --> 00:47:43,160
Speaker 17: in the country coming out. He was in the class

1103
00:47:43,239 --> 00:47:45,400
Speaker 17: behind me. So we've we've always known of each other.

1104
00:47:45,520 --> 00:47:48,200
Speaker 17: And uh so, I mean it's it's always good to

1105
00:47:48,400 --> 00:47:50,520
Speaker 17: you know, get guys who you've known for such a

1106
00:47:50,560 --> 00:47:52,480
Speaker 17: long time and you see them through college and able

1107
00:47:52,560 --> 00:47:54,200
Speaker 17: to get on the practice field with them.

1108
00:47:54,760 --> 00:47:56,400
Speaker 6: What did you see yourself in September?

1109
00:47:57,680 --> 00:47:57,839
Speaker 16: Uh?

1110
00:47:59,080 --> 00:48:02,120
Speaker 17: I mean I see myself Cleveland Brown and like I said,

1111
00:48:02,200 --> 00:48:04,880
Speaker 17: just trying to continue to get better, figure out how

1112
00:48:04,960 --> 00:48:07,200
Speaker 17: I can continue to improve myself and how I can

1113
00:48:07,440 --> 00:48:09,800
Speaker 17: provide value to DeShawn and other coaches.

1114
00:48:09,960 --> 00:48:12,359
Speaker 6: What's the biggest thing you've learned from Shawn? Just being

1115
00:48:12,400 --> 00:48:12,800
Speaker 6: a network?

1116
00:48:13,920 --> 00:48:14,040
Speaker 19: Uh?

1117
00:48:15,080 --> 00:48:18,480
Speaker 17: You know, I think Dashawn he's extremely intelligent, and I

1118
00:48:18,560 --> 00:48:21,200
Speaker 17: think one thing, you know, when he watches film, you know,

1119
00:48:21,360 --> 00:48:23,720
Speaker 17: he's able to kind of put himself in the shoes

1120
00:48:24,000 --> 00:48:27,239
Speaker 17: of the quarterback that he's watching, and you know, be

1121
00:48:27,320 --> 00:48:29,319
Speaker 17: able to be creative with play calls and figure out

1122
00:48:29,520 --> 00:48:31,719
Speaker 17: how we can create exposive plays because you know, you

1123
00:48:31,760 --> 00:48:33,759
Speaker 17: see him coming from Houston and they had a you know,

1124
00:48:33,800 --> 00:48:36,920
Speaker 17: I think he threw for five thousand yards in twenty

1125
00:48:37,480 --> 00:48:39,600
Speaker 17: and so just trying to see how he can get

1126
00:48:39,640 --> 00:48:42,160
Speaker 17: back to that shape and how he can create explosive

1127
00:48:42,160 --> 00:48:43,040
Speaker 17: plays in this offense.

1128
00:48:43,400 --> 00:48:47,680
Speaker 1: Lastly, quarterback Dorian Thompson Robinson talked about the differences between

1129
00:48:47,760 --> 00:48:50,520
Speaker 1: college and the NFL and how he's doing at building

1130
00:48:50,600 --> 00:48:51,920
Speaker 1: chemistry with his teammates.

1131
00:48:52,320 --> 00:48:54,680
Speaker 6: Kellen said, Bishop Gorman just a.

1132
00:48:57,160 --> 00:48:59,560
Speaker 19: Yeah, we've had those conversations in locker room. He definitely

1133
00:48:59,560 --> 00:49:02,440
Speaker 19: made those before. So I have nothing to say on it.

1134
00:49:02,640 --> 00:49:03,359
Speaker 8: I have nothing to say.

1135
00:49:03,680 --> 00:49:05,920
Speaker 7: How would you describe your relationship with killing and how

1136
00:49:06,080 --> 00:49:08,600
Speaker 7: you know how much closer have you guys. You know

1137
00:49:08,680 --> 00:49:09,799
Speaker 7: you and I has known for a while, but how

1138
00:49:09,880 --> 00:49:12,239
Speaker 7: much closer have you guys come over the last few

1139
00:49:12,360 --> 00:49:13,799
Speaker 7: months and being in the same room.

1140
00:49:14,360 --> 00:49:16,800
Speaker 19: Yeah, I think me and all the quarterbacks, really me

1141
00:49:16,880 --> 00:49:19,799
Speaker 19: and really all my teammates here art the Browns. They

1142
00:49:19,800 --> 00:49:22,000
Speaker 19: are all new faces to me besides Cedric and Bubba

1143
00:49:22,040 --> 00:49:24,680
Speaker 19: and Felt. So really getting the jail with those guys

1144
00:49:24,719 --> 00:49:27,160
Speaker 19: have come tremendous a long way since I've been here.

1145
00:49:27,680 --> 00:49:29,239
Speaker 19: Just being able to talk to him, get to know

1146
00:49:29,239 --> 00:49:31,160
Speaker 19: them on a more personal basis. I think Greenbyer actually

1147
00:49:31,200 --> 00:49:33,520
Speaker 19: helped out a lot. Getting us all in one space

1148
00:49:33,560 --> 00:49:35,960
Speaker 19: for a short period of time and having nothing to

1149
00:49:36,040 --> 00:49:38,440
Speaker 19: do but talk to each other. I think really help

1150
00:49:38,520 --> 00:49:48,520
Speaker 19: guys open up and everything. So, yeah, it's gonna be

1151
00:49:48,560 --> 00:49:52,040
Speaker 19: super exciting. I'm obviously got a family there and close friends,

1152
00:49:52,120 --> 00:49:54,319
Speaker 19: so super excited to be able to have them there

1153
00:49:55,000 --> 00:49:57,279
Speaker 19: and and share that experience with me. But I'm ready

1154
00:49:57,280 --> 00:49:58,960
Speaker 19: to just go out there and get an opportunity to play.

1155
00:49:59,480 --> 00:50:01,160
Speaker 19: Being a rookie you don't really get as much practice

1156
00:50:01,160 --> 00:50:02,640
Speaker 19: rep so finally being able to get in the game

1157
00:50:02,719 --> 00:50:05,560
Speaker 19: and you know the time is yours and you get

1158
00:50:05,600 --> 00:50:06,360
Speaker 19: to go out there and show.

1159
00:50:06,239 --> 00:50:06,600
Speaker 5: What you can do.

1160
00:50:06,719 --> 00:50:07,400
Speaker 8: Is it's fun for me?

1161
00:50:07,520 --> 00:50:10,960
Speaker 19: So of your progressive care, I think I've done really

1162
00:50:11,000 --> 00:50:13,719
Speaker 19: well just grasping the playbook, learning my teammates, learning how

1163
00:50:13,760 --> 00:50:16,239
Speaker 19: close the parents, who wants things done both on the

1164
00:50:16,239 --> 00:50:18,560
Speaker 19: field and off the field. So just trying to become

1165
00:50:18,600 --> 00:50:21,760
Speaker 19: a complete pro and making sure that I'm setting an example.

1166
00:50:21,840 --> 00:50:26,239
Speaker 11: So about some of the uh, you guys are.

1167
00:50:26,200 --> 00:50:28,960
Speaker 16: Important that you have so many talented polity.

1168
00:50:28,560 --> 00:50:30,160
Speaker 4: Receivers the back.

1169
00:50:31,960 --> 00:50:33,680
Speaker 16: Are some of the guys that you're excited to try

1170
00:50:33,719 --> 00:50:34,760
Speaker 16: to make some placebook?

1171
00:50:36,680 --> 00:50:40,759
Speaker 19: Well, obviously my guys Cedric and then Thomas Greeney tight end,

1172
00:50:41,280 --> 00:50:43,040
Speaker 19: who I got the chance to play with down at

1173
00:50:43,040 --> 00:50:45,440
Speaker 19: the Shrine game. So those are two guys obviously have

1174
00:50:45,480 --> 00:50:47,279
Speaker 19: a really good chemistry with already going into it.

1175
00:50:47,400 --> 00:50:49,799
Speaker 8: But you know, we have a lot of good guys.

1176
00:50:50,120 --> 00:50:55,359
Speaker 19: Uh Austin Watkins number eighty out there, speister, and uh

1177
00:50:55,800 --> 00:50:58,080
Speaker 19: I think our running back Hassan Hall, I think he's

1178
00:50:58,080 --> 00:50:59,920
Speaker 19: gonna do really big things. And uh, I think there's

1179
00:51:00,040 --> 00:51:01,600
Speaker 19: a lot of stuff on Thursday for sure too.

1180
00:51:02,360 --> 00:51:05,560
Speaker 2: Where do you feel you've gotten the most comfortable with

1181
00:51:05,719 --> 00:51:08,080
Speaker 2: the offense your life in the NFL over the last

1182
00:51:08,400 --> 00:51:09,040
Speaker 2: whatever weekend?

1183
00:51:09,120 --> 00:51:09,880
Speaker 5: Have since gamest.

1184
00:51:10,239 --> 00:51:12,000
Speaker 8: Yeah, I think just getting into a routine.

1185
00:51:12,040 --> 00:51:13,960
Speaker 19: I think that's probably the biggest thing is a pro athlete,

1186
00:51:14,000 --> 00:51:15,520
Speaker 19: you have to find a routine on what you're gonna

1187
00:51:15,520 --> 00:51:18,279
Speaker 19: do on a day to day basis, stay consistent, and

1188
00:51:18,400 --> 00:51:19,640
Speaker 19: so I think that's one of the things that I've

1189
00:51:19,640 --> 00:51:22,359
Speaker 19: really grown in is being able to get be one

1190
00:51:22,400 --> 00:51:23,919
Speaker 19: of the first ones in the building and then also

1191
00:51:23,960 --> 00:51:26,640
Speaker 19: when the last ones out and having everything in between

1192
00:51:26,719 --> 00:51:28,680
Speaker 19: that fall to what my goal is is obviously to

1193
00:51:28,760 --> 00:51:29,759
Speaker 19: lead this team and stuff like that.

1194
00:51:29,920 --> 00:51:33,560
Speaker 11: So I know Kevin said, like this game is coming up,

1195
00:51:33,640 --> 00:51:35,840
Speaker 11: like for a quarterback, a young quarterback, like the operations

1196
00:51:35,880 --> 00:51:38,200
Speaker 11: stuff is really important in the game, Like what's your

1197
00:51:38,200 --> 00:51:38,759
Speaker 11: approach to that?

1198
00:51:38,880 --> 00:51:41,360
Speaker 19: I guess, yeah, that's definitely the one thing I've been

1199
00:51:41,440 --> 00:51:44,040
Speaker 19: focusing on. You know, I'm really good when it comes

1200
00:51:44,040 --> 00:51:47,319
Speaker 19: to cerebral cerebral side of football things and being able

1201
00:51:47,320 --> 00:51:49,320
Speaker 19: to grasp a playbook and go out there and execute.

1202
00:51:49,360 --> 00:51:51,439
Speaker 19: But this is my first time having the call plays

1203
00:51:51,480 --> 00:51:53,680
Speaker 19: in the huddle, having to get in in the headset

1204
00:51:53,719 --> 00:51:56,040
Speaker 19: and being able to spit it out and we don't

1205
00:51:56,040 --> 00:51:59,239
Speaker 19: have the shortest of play call. So you know, that's

1206
00:51:59,280 --> 00:52:01,240
Speaker 19: probably the number one thing I'm going to be focusing

1207
00:52:01,280 --> 00:52:03,919
Speaker 19: on for sure. Make sure I can get guys lined

1208
00:52:04,000 --> 00:52:06,640
Speaker 19: up and and make sure that everybody's on the same page.

1209
00:52:09,520 --> 00:52:11,439
Speaker 19: All good, Thanks all, Thank you guys.
