WEBVTT - A Conversation with Jets WR Coach Miles Austin (8/5) 0:00:03.720 --> 0:00:07.800 Welcome into the studio. Another edition of the official podcast, 0:00:08.000 --> 0:00:12.240 Eric Ellen joined by wide receivers coach Miles Austin. What's 0:00:12.240 --> 0:00:15.160 it like for you to be coaching a professional football 0:00:15.200 --> 0:00:17.360 team here in Flora Park, just a couple of miles 0:00:17.400 --> 0:00:21.680 away from where you grew up in Summit. Oh, it's uh, 0:00:21.680 --> 0:00:24.800 it's really uh, really special. That's why when this opportunity 0:00:24.840 --> 0:00:28.160 came about, something that you really can't pass up at all. 0:00:28.280 --> 0:00:31.240 So uh yeah, but being born in Summit, growing up 0:00:31.240 --> 0:00:34.760 in Garfield, going to Mommouth University, which is all here 0:00:34.800 --> 0:00:37.480 in Jersey. Uh, it's just great to be back home 0:00:37.520 --> 0:00:39.959 and have a chance to help the home team win 0:00:40.080 --> 0:00:41.919 finally for the first time instead of trying to beat 0:00:41.960 --> 0:00:45.400 him every time going against him? Miles, how much time 0:00:45.680 --> 0:00:48.559 do you spend down on the shore since you did 0:00:48.640 --> 0:00:52.440 go to school at Mammouth And obviously you don't have 0:00:52.479 --> 0:00:54.760 time to do it right now it's training camp gets gone. 0:00:54.800 --> 0:00:57.360 But like during your downtime, we lived down so we 0:00:57.440 --> 0:01:00.120 live my family and I lived down in Rumps and 0:01:00.200 --> 0:01:03.920 so that's like where home is. So right now during camp, 0:01:04.000 --> 0:01:07.080 I obviously stay up here as as much as I 0:01:07.120 --> 0:01:09.600 can with the long hours that we're working and during 0:01:09.600 --> 0:01:11.800 the season, probably two nights a week I'll stay up here. 0:01:11.840 --> 0:01:15.360 But yeah, we're right down there by the shore. Uh live. 0:01:15.440 --> 0:01:18.800 And that's the reason why we chose that area when 0:01:18.840 --> 0:01:20.959 we moved back to Jersey because it was next to 0:01:21.000 --> 0:01:23.600 Mamouth and we just love the shore. So for people 0:01:24.000 --> 0:01:28.000 who don't know too much about the shore, you, as 0:01:28.040 --> 0:01:31.200 a guy who lives there, who played collegially down there, 0:01:31.640 --> 0:01:36.600 what would you say, especially mom, it's specifically you're saying, well, 0:01:37.040 --> 0:01:39.880 mamth rumps in all that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, the area 0:01:39.959 --> 0:01:43.080 is just it's it's awesome, you know. Uh. I think 0:01:43.160 --> 0:01:47.440 the the tagline for the Mamoth football team that they 0:01:47.480 --> 0:01:49.800 send out to their cruises, we we train where you 0:01:50.040 --> 0:01:53.200 were other people vacation or something like that. So yeah, no, 0:01:53.280 --> 0:01:55.560 it's awesome. It's it's a it's a great area down there. 0:01:55.600 --> 0:01:58.640 You got the shore right there, the weather is awesome. 0:01:58.840 --> 0:02:01.040 Being able to hit the be whenever you can is 0:02:01.040 --> 0:02:03.760 is always a great thing. So we took advantage of it. 0:02:03.840 --> 0:02:05.800 We we should have taken advantage of it more when 0:02:05.800 --> 0:02:09.880 we were in school, but uh, whenever you did get 0:02:09.919 --> 0:02:11.560 out there to the boardwalk of the beach, it was 0:02:11.639 --> 0:02:15.079 it was just awesome. Undrafted free agent here in training camp? 0:02:15.919 --> 0:02:20.120 What do you tell the guys about your experience? I 0:02:20.200 --> 0:02:25.240 try to tell them things I wish, things I learned, 0:02:25.280 --> 0:02:27.959 the mistakes I've made, and things that I've done right. 0:02:28.760 --> 0:02:32.360 Things I wish people have told me, things that people 0:02:32.440 --> 0:02:35.480 had told me. So I just try to uh impart 0:02:35.520 --> 0:02:38.640 on them. How important, especially as uh the undrafted guys, 0:02:39.919 --> 0:02:45.240 how attention to detail matters. How the way you are 0:02:45.240 --> 0:02:50.000 in meetings matter, the way you uh, the way you 0:02:50.040 --> 0:02:53.720 walk through matters, the special teams, reps, every everything that 0:02:53.760 --> 0:02:57.360 you do matters, because essentially you got to go in 0:02:57.400 --> 0:02:59.000 with the mindset if they're trying to do anything they 0:02:59.040 --> 0:03:00.520 can to get me out of here, and I have 0:03:00.600 --> 0:03:03.560 to make it as hard as I can on them 0:03:03.639 --> 0:03:06.000 when the time comes. Why didn't you make it though? 0:03:06.680 --> 0:03:09.360 In terms of being that guy who comes out of 0:03:09.440 --> 0:03:12.440 momouth big fish, little pond and you come into the 0:03:12.560 --> 0:03:16.680 National Football League and you have a long career. Uh. 0:03:16.680 --> 0:03:19.560 The thing that helped me was I just have a 0:03:19.600 --> 0:03:22.080 big fear of failure almost you know. So it's like 0:03:22.240 --> 0:03:24.000 I'm gonna do whatever I can, like I'm not gonna 0:03:24.040 --> 0:03:26.480 fail like I have to, you know, I'm gonna just 0:03:26.520 --> 0:03:29.880 do whatever it takes to uh make it work out. 0:03:30.160 --> 0:03:35.560 So that's really the approach I took. So what did 0:03:35.600 --> 0:03:37.640 I need to do to make that happen. I had 0:03:37.680 --> 0:03:39.960 to on special teams, whatever you had me block some money, 0:03:40.000 --> 0:03:41.800 had to go hit somebody as hard as I can. 0:03:41.840 --> 0:03:44.080 I had to know what I was doing. I was 0:03:44.120 --> 0:03:46.560 there on time, you know, just trying to do all 0:03:46.600 --> 0:03:48.960 those things I could to make Like I said that, 0:03:49.400 --> 0:03:52.720 the decision at the end of the camp that much 0:03:52.720 --> 0:03:55.240 more difficult. Whether you're gonna try to release me or 0:03:55.320 --> 0:03:57.200 put me on practice, I'm gonna make you have to 0:03:57.320 --> 0:04:01.000 almost sign me to to the team. So that's that 0:04:01.120 --> 0:04:03.200 was the mindset that I have, and it's the kind 0:04:03.240 --> 0:04:06.600 of wisdom I try to impart on those guys, UH 0:04:06.760 --> 0:04:09.680 day in and day out. What's unique about this offense 0:04:09.720 --> 0:04:16.560 from a wide receiver's perspective. I was in other offenses 0:04:16.720 --> 0:04:19.640 in Dallas and UH the first time I experienced this 0:04:20.040 --> 0:04:23.960 offense was in Cleveland with Kyle Shanahan being the offensive 0:04:23.960 --> 0:04:26.960 coordinator over there, and I really honestly just fell in 0:04:26.960 --> 0:04:31.400 love with it. Just how the um, how the formations 0:04:31.400 --> 0:04:36.279 are set up, what are rules were in the run game, um, 0:04:36.320 --> 0:04:38.080 and just the way we try to find ways to 0:04:38.120 --> 0:04:42.400 attack uh defenses. So that's when I really fell in 0:04:42.400 --> 0:04:44.040 love with it. And then I got it again when 0:04:44.080 --> 0:04:46.480 I was out there in San France and having it here. 0:04:46.520 --> 0:04:49.760 Obviously I'm I'm a lot more familiar with it, but 0:04:50.560 --> 0:04:53.159 I fell in love with it, uh in twenty fourteen 0:04:53.240 --> 0:04:56.560 when I was when I was first kind of introduced 0:04:56.560 --> 0:05:00.320 to it. What's the expectation for WI vers see for 0:05:00.440 --> 0:05:04.280 you as a guy who thrived in the system yourself 0:05:04.400 --> 0:05:07.400 who fell in love with it. One thing that stuck 0:05:07.400 --> 0:05:09.719 out to me last year about MICHAELA Fleur when he 0:05:09.760 --> 0:05:13.520 was explaining the offensive system is you guys require the 0:05:13.520 --> 0:05:17.440 receivers to learn all the different positions. You can't just 0:05:17.520 --> 0:05:19.160 be an outside guy. You can't just be a guy 0:05:19.160 --> 0:05:23.000 who's gonna live in the slot. Yes, Uh, that's that's 0:05:23.040 --> 0:05:24.719 really the way our offense is set up. So we 0:05:24.760 --> 0:05:29.560 have concepts, obviously, but we have formations, and we have 0:05:29.640 --> 0:05:32.360 a whole bunch of formations. So all of our formations 0:05:32.400 --> 0:05:37.080 can get uh two to three people in a specific 0:05:37.600 --> 0:05:40.960 cluster let's call it, that have a combination to run. 0:05:41.240 --> 0:05:43.480 So as long as you know the combinations and you 0:05:43.520 --> 0:05:46.039 know where you're lined up. You have what we have 0:05:46.080 --> 0:05:48.000 the ability to put you at number one, number two, 0:05:48.040 --> 0:05:52.279 or number three options in that combination based on our formations. 0:05:52.320 --> 0:05:55.039 So that's if you just know what our offenses and 0:05:55.040 --> 0:05:59.680 you know where to line up, and you know our concepts, 0:06:00.520 --> 0:06:02.440 you shouldn't have any problem, you know, I mean, and 0:06:02.640 --> 0:06:04.560 now at this point, now it just takes ability, It 0:06:04.600 --> 0:06:07.680 takes strain, it takes effort, all the other things we 0:06:07.800 --> 0:06:10.200 ask them for. But as far as schematically, if you 0:06:10.240 --> 0:06:13.599 know where to line up and what our concepts are, 0:06:13.920 --> 0:06:16.039 you should be able to kind of handle everything because 0:06:16.160 --> 0:06:17.800 we can put you anywhere. We're gonna get back to 0:06:17.839 --> 0:06:20.599 that in a second. That's a key word around here though. 0:06:20.680 --> 0:06:24.560 Strain from a coaching perspective, What does that mean when 0:06:24.560 --> 0:06:26.839 Solid is talking about that all the time, A Miles 0:06:26.880 --> 0:06:30.240 Austin is in the wide receiver's room saying, hey, guys, 0:06:30.600 --> 0:06:35.279 we gotta strain. Strain is the thing that takes a 0:06:35.279 --> 0:06:38.080 guy from good degrade. It takes a team from good 0:06:38.160 --> 0:06:41.560 degrade or or bad to better, or you know, it 0:06:42.040 --> 0:06:45.120 moves you up a notch strain and uh it really 0:06:45.120 --> 0:06:48.160 takes nothing other than uh, you wanting to do it. 0:06:48.279 --> 0:06:49.640 You know, it doesn't take any You don't have to 0:06:49.680 --> 0:06:51.960 be fast to strain. You can be the slowest person 0:06:52.000 --> 0:06:55.040 in the world and still strain, you know. So just 0:06:55.160 --> 0:06:59.160 kind of imparting that on our guys, Uh, to constantly 0:06:59.240 --> 0:07:02.600 keep that in the forefront of their mind. I think 0:07:02.640 --> 0:07:05.160 it's gonna get not only them better individually, but us 0:07:05.240 --> 0:07:09.920 individually as a group better and then ultimately, uh, team wise, 0:07:10.000 --> 0:07:13.240 get the whole team. But what do Corey Davis and 0:07:13.280 --> 0:07:17.680 Braxton and Burials mean for you with this young group? Oh, 0:07:17.720 --> 0:07:20.880 it's awesome because they they've been in this system. Uh, 0:07:20.920 --> 0:07:24.440 they know it so and they pretty much do everything 0:07:24.480 --> 0:07:27.800 you ask them to do. So having those guys dad, 0:07:27.880 --> 0:07:30.000 you know, you can put in and get consistency out 0:07:30.040 --> 0:07:33.720 of is uh is a It really makes it easy 0:07:33.760 --> 0:07:35.920 on my end. And I gotta script the day out, 0:07:35.960 --> 0:07:38.840 you know, you gotta you gotta put guys in different spots, 0:07:38.880 --> 0:07:41.280 and uh, whenever you put those two guys down on 0:07:41.320 --> 0:07:43.800 the sheet, you just feel like, all it's gonna this 0:07:43.880 --> 0:07:46.240 is gonna be handled right here, you know. So it 0:07:46.240 --> 0:07:49.320 feels great to have those guys. Yeah, So there was 0:07:49.440 --> 0:07:53.440 a play today in practice. We're taping this but Zach 0:07:54.000 --> 0:07:58.000 drew an off side from a defender, rolls out to 0:07:58.120 --> 0:08:02.360 his left, froze fifty plus yards and Elijah Moore makes 0:08:02.400 --> 0:08:07.880 to catch eighty yards. That play covered in all something 0:08:07.960 --> 0:08:11.480 like that. Does that speak to familiarity in the system 0:08:11.560 --> 0:08:15.360 and how these guys are growing up together because maybe 0:08:15.400 --> 0:08:18.840 we want to saw that play last summer. Yeah, I think, uh, 0:08:19.760 --> 0:08:24.440 especially in Elijah's case and and all of our receivers cases, 0:08:24.640 --> 0:08:27.240 especially the ones that we're here last year. The first 0:08:27.280 --> 0:08:29.280 year you're kind of implementing something, it's the first time 0:08:29.680 --> 0:08:31.480 a lot of guys have just been in a huddle 0:08:31.560 --> 0:08:33.600 in general. You know, it's a lot of times they've 0:08:33.640 --> 0:08:36.440 heard the type of verbage that we've uh that we 0:08:36.520 --> 0:08:40.120 have for them. So being their second year hearing the 0:08:40.240 --> 0:08:43.960 same type of verbiage, the things that you're correcting last year, 0:08:44.080 --> 0:08:47.360 you kinda don't have to correct as much because more 0:08:47.360 --> 0:08:50.160 people know it, and the fact that more people know 0:08:50.240 --> 0:08:52.520 it and are doing it, the younger guys that come 0:08:52.520 --> 0:08:55.720 in kind of see the right example more often than not. 0:08:56.200 --> 0:08:59.520 So that's kind of how that kind of flows naturally 0:08:59.640 --> 0:09:03.920 to UH too to get us better scheme wise on 0:09:03.960 --> 0:09:05.600 those plays. I mean, that was just that play. Right. 0:09:05.600 --> 0:09:09.439 There was just a connection of us realizing they've jumped offsides. 0:09:09.840 --> 0:09:12.640 My original route was already cut off. So let's just 0:09:12.840 --> 0:09:16.400 let's just make a play. And uh Elijah can do that, 0:09:16.760 --> 0:09:21.960 Uh pretty much as good as anybody in our in 0:09:22.000 --> 0:09:25.160 our whole in our whole receiver room. What's his next step? 0:09:25.400 --> 0:09:29.000 He's so competitive and we saw the skills that he 0:09:29.040 --> 0:09:31.320 brought to the table last year. I only played a 0:09:31.320 --> 0:09:33.960 lot of games, we still had five touchdowns, and I 0:09:34.040 --> 0:09:37.280 thought you saw that chemistry really take off with him 0:09:37.360 --> 0:09:41.720 and the formatted Zack Wilson done stretch. Yeah, he uh, 0:09:41.920 --> 0:09:43.800 he really like took off in the right in the 0:09:43.800 --> 0:09:45.920 middle of the year and then obviously you know, tailed 0:09:45.960 --> 0:09:50.559 off with with the injury. But um, in the beginning 0:09:50.559 --> 0:09:52.440 of the year, it was just kind of like again 0:09:52.480 --> 0:09:57.360 like I was mentioning, hearing those concepts and understanding exactly 0:09:57.360 --> 0:09:58.680 what he had to do. There was just a little 0:09:58.679 --> 0:10:00.320 bit off. It was just a little bit off, and 0:10:00.360 --> 0:10:02.240 then he kind of hit his stride. I don't know 0:10:02.280 --> 0:10:05.040 if it was like week five to ten or something 0:10:05.120 --> 0:10:08.240 like that, he just hit his stride and and really 0:10:08.280 --> 0:10:10.920 was playing at the level that he expects to play. 0:10:10.920 --> 0:10:12.800 And and we expect him to play and I think 0:10:13.000 --> 0:10:15.640 hopefully he can start at at that level of better 0:10:16.320 --> 0:10:20.200 and uh and still continue to climb to to push 0:10:20.240 --> 0:10:23.040 even further. So he's he's been, He's been a pleasure 0:10:23.080 --> 0:10:26.880 to coach. He's ultra competitive. He wants to win every rep. Uh, 0:10:26.920 --> 0:10:28.400 and a lot of times I gotta pull him back 0:10:28.440 --> 0:10:30.320 to say, listen, let's just take a big picture of 0:10:30.320 --> 0:10:33.360 this thing and take it play by play, regardless of 0:10:33.360 --> 0:10:35.280 what happened on the last one. But I'll tell you 0:10:35.280 --> 0:10:37.480 what he's Uh, he's a pleasure to coach because he's 0:10:37.760 --> 0:10:40.920 he has that strain that we're talking about to help 0:10:40.960 --> 0:10:45.360 you as a coach that similar situations. Maybe Garrett Wilson's 0:10:45.400 --> 0:10:48.600 drafted a little bit earlier. We know Elijah was drafted 0:10:48.600 --> 0:10:50.680 at the top of the second round, whereas Garrett comes 0:10:50.720 --> 0:10:54.800 in number ten overall. But you're you're coaching up a 0:10:54.840 --> 0:11:00.320 guy in his first year who similar skill set. I 0:11:00.360 --> 0:11:03.120 think in some ways totally different players. I know that, 0:11:03.600 --> 0:11:06.680 but in terms of the versatility that you coached up 0:11:06.679 --> 0:11:08.800 a guy like Elijah last year and now you have 0:11:08.840 --> 0:11:11.920 a guy like Garrett who seems the same in the 0:11:11.960 --> 0:11:14.280 way he approaches things that he's going to be a 0:11:14.320 --> 0:11:16.839 sponge and he's gonna learn from his teammates, and he's 0:11:16.880 --> 0:11:19.920 alter competitive as wealth. He's very competitive and uh and 0:11:20.000 --> 0:11:23.720 he's another one. Um, he's specially you know, he's just 0:11:23.800 --> 0:11:27.200 his body movement. Obviously, he's unbelievably athletic. It's like now 0:11:27.360 --> 0:11:31.840 taking that athleticism and still being able to use that 0:11:31.920 --> 0:11:37.360 athleticism within the uh framework of of what we have 0:11:37.480 --> 0:11:41.080 as an offense. And we're working that blend right now. 0:11:41.120 --> 0:11:42.920 But I mean a lot of the place he's making 0:11:43.320 --> 0:11:46.800 and the amount of time and energy he's he's putting 0:11:46.840 --> 0:11:50.719 into improving not only in the classroom but out here 0:11:50.720 --> 0:11:54.920 on the field. UM, I can tell he's gonna be 0:11:55.559 --> 0:11:57.920 he's gonna be a special player for us as long 0:11:58.000 --> 0:12:00.920 as he continues to do exactly what he's doing, and 0:12:01.000 --> 0:12:03.000 he's gonna really help us out. He's gonna really help 0:12:03.120 --> 0:12:05.959 us if he's fast and he's quick. And one of 0:12:06.000 --> 0:12:09.400 the most impressive plays or efforts he had out here 0:12:09.440 --> 0:12:12.000 I think in training camp was actually a catch he 0:12:12.040 --> 0:12:16.520 didn't come down with, but it just spoke to he 0:12:16.520 --> 0:12:19.880 He jumped through the gym, he went up two defenders 0:12:19.920 --> 0:12:22.280 in the area and he was mad at himself for 0:12:22.400 --> 0:12:26.480 not coming down with it. But that basketball background, you 0:12:26.520 --> 0:12:28.080 can see that a little bit. Huh, yeah, you can 0:12:28.120 --> 0:12:29.680 see it at the line of scrimmage at the top 0:12:29.720 --> 0:12:33.040 of routes. Um. I like to see it less sometimes 0:12:33.440 --> 0:12:35.120 when the balls and there, unless you really have to 0:12:35.120 --> 0:12:38.560 go up and go get it, because really, as as 0:12:38.640 --> 0:12:40.920 receivers were trying to keep our feet on the ground 0:12:41.280 --> 0:12:44.160 to be able to continue to move after we catch it. 0:12:44.280 --> 0:12:46.959 So we worked out with all of our guys are 0:12:47.000 --> 0:12:52.000 just like jumping when you have to, but also being 0:12:52.000 --> 0:12:54.760 heavy to the ground so you can so you can 0:12:54.800 --> 0:12:57.360 do something with it instantly. But yeah, that play like 0:12:57.400 --> 0:12:59.439 going up, it looked like it was one of those 0:13:00.920 --> 0:13:05.080 It was it DeAndre uh dedre Jordan's who kind of 0:13:05.120 --> 0:13:06.920 like maybe it was like, you know, it was like 0:13:07.120 --> 0:13:11.840 um Blake Griffin. Yeah, you know, anyone's got pushed up 0:13:11.840 --> 0:13:14.120 a little higher as he jumped up there. Yeah, no, 0:13:14.280 --> 0:13:16.480 he went up. He went really really high, and I 0:13:16.480 --> 0:13:18.120 don't know what his vertical was. I'm sure it was 0:13:18.160 --> 0:13:20.640 around forty but it was about forty five on that 0:13:20.960 --> 0:13:24.240 It felt like that and he's in helmet and shorts. 0:13:24.280 --> 0:13:28.120 How cool is it for you guys, the possibilities now 0:13:28.160 --> 0:13:30.720 that this is a group that can kind of grow 0:13:30.800 --> 0:13:33.440 up together. Because you're working with a quarterback in his 0:13:33.520 --> 0:13:37.120 second year and Zach, it is special. Uh those guys 0:13:37.160 --> 0:13:39.160 are are together. I saw they were out there and 0:13:39.320 --> 0:13:42.679 uh in Idaho working together. So whenever you get a 0:13:42.679 --> 0:13:47.520 core group um around similar age or at least similar 0:13:47.559 --> 0:13:51.000 interests or at least that are just that connected together, uh, 0:13:51.120 --> 0:13:53.079 there's so much more of a bond that can happen 0:13:53.160 --> 0:13:56.400 off the field. But that translates to how you practice. 0:13:56.440 --> 0:13:59.400 That translates to games. Trusting the guy across from you, 0:13:59.440 --> 0:14:01.640 knowing the guy across from you, Uh, it makes you 0:14:01.679 --> 0:14:04.200 work that much harder as a as a player. I've 0:14:04.200 --> 0:14:09.320 been in that situation UM with my teammates as a player, 0:14:09.559 --> 0:14:11.960 and I just know that there were times like Layton games, 0:14:12.400 --> 0:14:15.160 you're you're with you, with you guys, and you know, 0:14:15.520 --> 0:14:17.320 as long as you're connected in that way, you feel 0:14:17.360 --> 0:14:20.800 like you've got a chance lating games to do things special. 0:14:21.280 --> 0:14:24.200 I'm not asking you to go Rob Calabrie's here and 0:14:24.280 --> 0:14:29.120 give me your complete evaluation on Zach, but from your 0:14:29.160 --> 0:14:35.280 guys eyes, what's different about him here that second summer 0:14:35.360 --> 0:14:38.400 because one of the things that I caught my eyes 0:14:38.440 --> 0:14:42.160 again today was that it seemed like you're gone Temple 0:14:42.840 --> 0:14:46.320 and maybe last year at this time, that's not something 0:14:46.400 --> 0:14:48.720 you guys are doing where he maybe he's processing the 0:14:48.800 --> 0:14:51.360 play and take some time to hear what's coming in 0:14:51.400 --> 0:14:55.200 from La fleur, but he really seems like he's getting 0:14:55.200 --> 0:14:57.480 to the line quicker and going through everything quicker and 0:14:57.720 --> 0:15:01.000 hitting your guys. Yeah, it's and it goes back to too, 0:15:01.160 --> 0:15:04.640 even with our receiver room familiarity, just hearing the play 0:15:04.680 --> 0:15:08.120 calls here and here in the concepts knowing them. The 0:15:08.160 --> 0:15:10.280 more you do anything, you know ten thousand hour, The 0:15:10.280 --> 0:15:14.120 more you do anything, and the more you are practicing 0:15:14.160 --> 0:15:18.040 the right way, the better you get. So uh, not 0:15:18.120 --> 0:15:21.440 only him, but our entire receiver room, our entire offensive line, 0:15:21.480 --> 0:15:24.840 everyone hearing it another year and being able to digest 0:15:24.880 --> 0:15:27.440 what they're hearing from from the huddle, uh, and being 0:15:27.480 --> 0:15:29.520 able to execute it. Because you've had those looks. You 0:15:29.560 --> 0:15:31.520 have memories in your head of what happened the last 0:15:31.560 --> 0:15:34.400 time I faced this look, or I faced faced this 0:15:34.480 --> 0:15:37.880 coverage and this leverage in front of me. Um, you 0:15:37.880 --> 0:15:40.720 can go back to those memories and and kind of 0:15:40.720 --> 0:15:44.000 figure out answers faster than you did when it's the 0:15:44.040 --> 0:15:46.320 first time you're hearing it versus the first look that 0:15:46.360 --> 0:15:49.400 you're seeing. All Right, you gotta roll. You've been gracious 0:15:49.440 --> 0:15:51.760 with your time. I gotta get a quick one in though. 0:15:52.400 --> 0:15:57.160 UM with Zach Robert Sali was talking about the second play. 0:15:57.280 --> 0:16:00.160 There's the first play and then there's the sec can 0:16:00.240 --> 0:16:05.200 play when he breaks the pocket. Um. From receiver's view, 0:16:06.120 --> 0:16:07.920 what do you guys have to do when you see 0:16:07.960 --> 0:16:11.720 the athletic guy get out? What's what's the move next? 0:16:12.720 --> 0:16:15.680 They're like just general rules. A lot of times when 0:16:15.680 --> 0:16:18.400 when ball scrambles out right, you're obviously trying to find 0:16:18.520 --> 0:16:23.760 space out there, uh, and you're trying to find that 0:16:23.840 --> 0:16:26.120 space again, kind of like I was saying almost with Garrett, 0:16:26.200 --> 0:16:28.560 within the confines of how we're all going to get there, 0:16:28.960 --> 0:16:33.160 So without getting in too much too uh specifics, there's 0:16:33.200 --> 0:16:38.880 spaces we have to get to based on how we're 0:16:39.000 --> 0:16:44.040 running there or who's in what spot. So every time, uh, 0:16:44.280 --> 0:16:46.960 that Zach ever does break out the pocket, it's a 0:16:47.000 --> 0:16:50.440 great way we can practice those rules and kind of 0:16:50.640 --> 0:16:53.280 tweak them as we go or realize, oh, I should 0:16:53.280 --> 0:16:55.120 have came down on this one, or I should have ran, 0:16:55.280 --> 0:16:57.320 I should have taken the top off first, this look 0:16:57.360 --> 0:17:01.000 on the sideline, and I thought, Elijah is uh playing. 0:17:01.120 --> 0:17:03.080 It was a great example of like what to do 0:17:03.360 --> 0:17:05.879 kind of when a play breaks down. So we're getting 0:17:05.880 --> 0:17:10.520 repsitted every single day. So, uh, those second plays happened 0:17:10.560 --> 0:17:12.520 pretty often in games. You know a lot of guys, 0:17:12.560 --> 0:17:15.159 a lot of big, good quarterbacks out there kind of 0:17:15.240 --> 0:17:18.080 make their hay on on those second second places. So 0:17:18.359 --> 0:17:20.600 hopefully we can be one of those teams that they 0:17:20.600 --> 0:17:22.919 can make something out of those as well. Yeah, I 0:17:22.920 --> 0:17:25.400 appreciate your time and hopefully we can catch up again 0:17:25.480 --> 0:17:27.840 real soon. It sounds good. Thank you, thanks for having me.
