He's at Las Vegas, 95 00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:51,440 Speaker 8: and you know he'll get in there. And he thought 96 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:52,960 Speaker 8: that'd be a good move to go ahead and push 97 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:54,520 Speaker 8: him over to right tackle.

So 156 00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:07,200 Speaker 1: you go through the process and we had a thorough process, 157 00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:08,839 Speaker 1: which I think you know, they did a good job 158 00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,359 Speaker 1: of showing. And you know, if you're comfortable making a 159 00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:13,039 Speaker 1: move and it made sense at the time, then you 160 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:14,680 Speaker 1: know that's that's what we would do, whatever's best for 161 00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:17,240 Speaker 1: the organization, which we talked about several times. 162 00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:19,240 Speaker 2: And then I think the first episode you said, like, 163 00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:20,760 Speaker 2: this is the year when you like find out if 164 00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:22,960 Speaker 2: he's the guy. Is it disconcerting at all that you 165 00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:25,479 Speaker 2: have that feeling after you guaranteed him eighty two million 166 00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:26,160 Speaker 2: dollars a year ago. 167 00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:26,520 Speaker 4: Yeah. 168 00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:29,200 Speaker 1: I think the context of that conversation was coming off 169 00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:34,560 Speaker 1: of again, these are small snippets and thousands of conversations. 170 00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:38,000 Speaker 1: So within the context of that situation and the way 171 00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:40,800 Speaker 1: the contract is structured and the way last year went, 172 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:43,680 Speaker 1: I think that's a fair assessment that, like, we need 173 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:46,520 Speaker 1: we need better in twenty twenty four, one of the. 174 00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:49,240 Speaker 9: First decisions you made when you were hired was to 175 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:54,200 Speaker 9: not give Daniel the fifty year option, and you know 176 00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:57,000 Speaker 9: that that put him on age maybe or made it 177 00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:58,760 Speaker 9: was certainly a proved year for him, and then he 178 00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:01,000 Speaker 9: was stayed healthy you made the playoff. So for both 179 00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:04,520 Speaker 9: of you, do you think Daniel, you know, knowing what 180 00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:07,440 Speaker 9: can happen next year, as far as contractually knowing his health, 181 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:10,960 Speaker 9: knowing that the team did try to, you know, explore 182 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:14,000 Speaker 9: trading up certainly that he will have more of a 183 00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:17,080 Speaker 9: incentive or an age more so than he usually does 184 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:19,440 Speaker 9: this year because he knows it is another proven year 185 00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:20,000 Speaker 9: for him. 186 00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:23,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, Paul, these are professional athletes, So I think you 187 00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:26,480 Speaker 1: know this extra motivation or quotes or you know, bulletin 188 00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:29,200 Speaker 1: board material. You know, I'm not just necessarily buying into 189 00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:30,960 Speaker 1: that all the time. I think these guys have gotten 190 00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:34,320 Speaker 1: where they've gotten in their careers as athletes because they're competitive, 191 00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:37,960 Speaker 1: they're they're self motivated, they're driven, and I think Daniel 192 00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:40,800 Speaker 1: is all of those things. And I think of all 193 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:42,680 Speaker 1: the guys on the team, he bro probably does the 194 00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:44,720 Speaker 1: best job tuning out the noise. And I think he's 195 00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:47,280 Speaker 1: he's wired for the position in terms of those straits 196 00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:48,920 Speaker 1: that I just said and tuning out the noise, and 197 00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:52,480 Speaker 1: he's been busting his tail and doing everything he can 198 00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:54,440 Speaker 1: he can do to get back on the football field. 199 00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:57,360 Speaker 1: He's a great teammate, he's a leader, and you know, 200 00:07:57,440 --> 00:07:59,600 Speaker 1: I'm excited to help things how things go this year 201 00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:00,840 Speaker 1: if he can stay healthy. 202 00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:04,320 Speaker 9: Do you think, you know, as the coach of the player, 203 00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:06,320 Speaker 9: do you think a guy with a little bit of 204 00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:08,880 Speaker 9: an edge maybe more so prove it kind of thing 205 00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:09,800 Speaker 9: can be helpful. 206 00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:12,560 Speaker 8: I think it depends on the player, So I think 207 00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:14,200 Speaker 8: you'd have to ask DJ. 208 00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:18,320 Speaker 4: But he is. He's intrinsically motivated. You know, we meet 209 00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:20,280 Speaker 4: every day. He'll be ready to go. 210 00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:22,600 Speaker 2: So I know it's day one camp, We're won't talk 211 00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:24,200 Speaker 2: again for a long time. So we've seen in the 212 00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:26,200 Speaker 2: around the league the best couple of years where injury 213 00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:30,000 Speaker 2: guarantees have factored into quarterback you know, playing time that 214 00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:32,240 Speaker 2: something with Daniel that would enter the equation for you 215 00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:32,800 Speaker 2: at any point. 216 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, a little bit like what Dave said with Illumino, 217 00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:36,560 Speaker 1: like we're gonna go day by day, like we've got 218 00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:38,400 Speaker 1: to see how this knee's gonna react. He hasn't been 219 00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:41,400 Speaker 1: full go, so I mean those are conversations way down 220 00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:43,640 Speaker 1: the road, like we're just we're gonna go out and 221 00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:46,080 Speaker 1: see how he does today and how it reacts each day, 222 00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:48,200 Speaker 1: and you know, hopefully he can stay healthy again. I'm 223 00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:50,040 Speaker 1: root for the kid. He's done everything he could possibly 224 00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:51,440 Speaker 1: do to get back on the field and put himself 225 00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:53,560 Speaker 1: in this position today eight months off of surgery. So 226 00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,040 Speaker 1: you know again, I'm just we'll take a day by 227 00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:59,000 Speaker 1: day with him and see how how the body reacts. 228 00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:04,880 Speaker 7: Do you intend to practice any differently than you did 229 00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:07,440 Speaker 7: last year as far as how you prepare the team 230 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:09,920 Speaker 7: for the season, whether it's when you put them in pads, 231 00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:13,400 Speaker 7: how many guys you play in preseason games, or are 232 00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:14,280 Speaker 7: you do you intend. 233 00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:15,720 Speaker 1: To kind of keep it consistent with what you did 234 00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:16,160 Speaker 1: last year? 235 00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:18,240 Speaker 8: Yeah, No, we switched, as you know, we switched quite 236 00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:20,160 Speaker 8: a bit, i'd say in the OTAs. It'll be some 237 00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:23,719 Speaker 8: differences throughout this training camp and you know, you lay 238 00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:27,240 Speaker 8: out the plan, pat you scheduled all the way through. 239 00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:29,160 Speaker 8: But you know, just like we talked about with the 240 00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:31,120 Speaker 8: players and things like that, you have to adjust based 241 00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:33,680 Speaker 8: on you know, who's injured, who's ready to go. 242 00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:35,360 Speaker 4: How much padwork we do. 243 00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:38,120 Speaker 8: We'll talk about the preseason when we get obviously close 244 00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:41,000 Speaker 8: to the preseason, have an idea, but we'll sit down 245 00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:43,439 Speaker 8: as a staff, we'll talk about it. But certainly there's 246 00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:46,000 Speaker 8: changes every year. There's changes from year one to year two. 247 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,400 Speaker 8: There'll be changes from year two to year three. You 248 00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:50,360 Speaker 8: just do what you think is the team needs. 249 00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:53,120 Speaker 5: You have a lot of three days you know, three 250 00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:55,320 Speaker 5: days off, three days off, three days off, But what's 251 00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:58,000 Speaker 5: your thought process behind doing that more often? 252 00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:01,160 Speaker 8: Yeah, Well, again, when we sit there and we develop 253 00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:05,600 Speaker 8: an initial plan for training camp, there's multiple people involved. 254 00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:07,800 Speaker 8: You know, Aaron Wellman has just coming. He's done a 255 00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:11,000 Speaker 8: fantastic job of kind of overseeing in the area of 256 00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:14,120 Speaker 8: practice and some of this stuff sports condition wise, So 257 00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:17,120 Speaker 8: you know, it was a collective effort, listening to the 258 00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:18,960 Speaker 8: advice of. 259 00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:19,400 Speaker 4: Some of the medical people. 260 00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:23,360 Speaker 8: There's been a lot of research done too, in terms 261 00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:27,800 Speaker 8: of drills from the NFL and getting injury data. So again, 262 00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:29,880 Speaker 8: we just sat down, we we iron it out, and 263 00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:32,040 Speaker 8: then we put together a plan, and then you adjust 264 00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:34,000 Speaker 8: a plan based on how it's going. 265 00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:35,680 Speaker 6: Bryan, have you made a decision? 266 00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:40,240 Speaker 8: Still working through that, But again, I'll be doing the 267 00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:42,280 Speaker 8: same thing that I did in spring.

Do what he 335 00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:50,600 Speaker 8: needs to do each day in practice, do the things 336 00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:51,760 Speaker 8: he needs to do outside of. 337 00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:52,440 Speaker 4: The of the building. 338 00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:56,800 Speaker 8: Compete his tail off, which I know we will looking 339 00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:57,920 Speaker 8: forward to watching them. 340 00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:02,120 Speaker 11: Can I go back just to Evan just for a second, 341 00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:07,280 Speaker 11: thank you. These guys have a lot at their disposal 342 00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:12,360 Speaker 11: in terms of care, ability to train and everything else. 343 00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:16,760 Speaker 11: How are you still in a position where this guy 344 00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:20,920 Speaker 11: can even start a season for you when that surgery 345 00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:23,240 Speaker 11: was I believe still when Snow was on the ground. 346 00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:27,000 Speaker 8: Well, I don't work in the medical field, and I 347 00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:32,400 Speaker 8: think every player reacts to injuries different. So whether it's 348 00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:35,440 Speaker 8: Evan or somebody else that injured, I couldn't say for certain, 349 00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:37,760 Speaker 8: Like this is the exact time I think the timelines. 350 00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:41,160 Speaker 8: You can't give a con you can't give a content time, 351 00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:43,040 Speaker 8: You can't give a concrete. 352 00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:44,720 Speaker 4: Timeline though, you know, Daniel's eight months on an ACL 353 00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:46,240 Speaker 4: and he's playing. Everybody reacts different. 354 00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:49,000 Speaker 8: He's doing everything he needs to do, and when he's 355 00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:50,800 Speaker 8: ready to go, we'll put him out there. 356 00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:53,760 Speaker 1: What's the topic of injuries with Aaron Robinson, what's been 357 00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:56,040 Speaker 1: going on with them? Yeah, he's still trying to get 358 00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:59,520 Speaker 1: back again. Speaking of timelines, like, you don't know, you know, 359 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,520 Speaker 1: everybody reacts differently. We had my first year, I think 360 00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:05,040 Speaker 1: we had six guys with a c LS and you guys, 361 00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:06,680 Speaker 1: you guys saw Wandell at the end of the year, 362 00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:08,160 Speaker 1: you know, against that Green Band game. I think he 363 00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:10,160 Speaker 1: hit a stride. He didn't play the first couple of games. 364 00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:14,040 Speaker 1: So every injury and the way the body reacts is different, 365 00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:16,240 Speaker 1: and you know, the individuals have to deal with the 366 00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:18,640 Speaker 1: medical and we don't know how they feel, you know, 367 00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:21,840 Speaker 1: coming off the injuries. But you know, we're rooting for 368 00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:24,880 Speaker 1: a rob obviously, you know, started some games early in 369 00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:27,120 Speaker 1: our tenure here, and you know, we just wait for 370 00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:29,360 Speaker 1: him to hopefully get back and back to Evan again, 371 00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:32,440 Speaker 1: like started forty six games at at Alabama. He's still 372 00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:34,720 Speaker 1: young kid, he's twenty three, he'll be twenty four. Coming up. 373 00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:36,960 Speaker 1: You know, he had the sprain you know, sprain knee 374 00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:39,280 Speaker 1: his his his first year here, came back early from that, 375 00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:42,440 Speaker 1: you know, fought through the you know, the foot injury 376 00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:44,880 Speaker 1: last year. So you know, I think he's a tough 377 00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:47,240 Speaker 1: kid and he's doing everything he can, you know, to 378 00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:49,680 Speaker 1: to come back, and I think it's legitimately something that 379 00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:51,480 Speaker 1: he needs to continue to work through and hopefully it'll 380 00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:52,480 Speaker 1: it'll be good here soon. 381 00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:56,360 Speaker 6: Injuries. You know, Johnson I think has a hit issue. 382 00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:59,440 Speaker 6: And is there anybody else that maybe you'll hold out 383 00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:02,120 Speaker 6: for the first few days of camp because they're still recovering. 384 00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:05,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, THEO. THEO should be back soon. He should be back, 385 00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:06,840 Speaker 1: so you'll see him on the side. He I don't 386 00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:08,720 Speaker 1: anticipate him out being out very long. 387 00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:09,040 Speaker 5: You know. 388 00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:13,600 Speaker 1: Jalen Mills is in the same same boat Stanley Oliver 389 00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:16,440 Speaker 1: as well, So I none of those guys I anticipate 390 00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:18,600 Speaker 1: being long term. That I just mentioned. 391 00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:21,960 Speaker 3: It seemed like the uh Hard. 392 00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:24,760 Speaker 2: Knights shows everyone about you and your process. 393 00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:27,280 Speaker 1: What do I hope seg get The show Hard Knots 394 00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:29,640 Speaker 1: shows about you and your process that you may not, 395 00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:33,680 Speaker 1: I mean, not so much about me, but it's I 396 00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:35,760 Speaker 1: think that there's a lot of I don't think. I know, 397 00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:37,720 Speaker 1: there's a lot of talented people in that building. And 398 00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:41,160 Speaker 1: whether it's my leadership team and Brandon Brown and Chris 399 00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:44,040 Speaker 1: Rossetti and Dennis Iki and Tim McDonald and Ryan Cowden 400 00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:47,520 Speaker 1: that uh Ed Triggs and Kevin Abrams which I mentioned earlier, 401 00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:50,040 Speaker 1: there's there's a lot of talented people in that in 402 00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:52,680 Speaker 1: that building, and and I don't have all the answers 403 00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:55,360 Speaker 1: and my ability to go in and speak with you know, 404 00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:57,280 Speaker 1: a lot of guys that are that are very bright 405 00:16:57,320 --> 00:16:59,040 Speaker 1: and women Hannah Burnette, you know, another one of our 406 00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:00,880 Speaker 1: area scouts that doesn't I'm nominal job. And then having 407 00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:03,560 Speaker 1: a great relationship with Daves and his coaching staff, and 408 00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:06,400 Speaker 1: and to be able to communicate and collaborate on decisions 409 00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:08,199 Speaker 1: that we make because it's not easy at the end 410 00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:11,399 Speaker 1: of the day. You saw those decisions aren't easy and 411 00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:13,360 Speaker 1: somebody has to make them at the end of the day. 412 00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:17,119 Speaker 1: But you know, to get everybody's input. Everybody has different experiences, 413 00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:19,080 Speaker 1: whether it was different teams, you know, Brandon Brown with 414 00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:21,960 Speaker 1: the Eagles or the Colts, or Chris Rozzetti with Miami, 415 00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:24,640 Speaker 1: you know, whatever it may be. And you lean on 416 00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:27,080 Speaker 1: some of your experiences. I've been in this situation before 417 00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:28,760 Speaker 1: and this is how it played out, or this is 418 00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:30,760 Speaker 1: what we did, maybe we should do it different. So 419 00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:34,640 Speaker 1: you know, again it's these these decisions, there's a lot 420 00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:36,679 Speaker 1: of thought that goes into it. So I just think, 421 00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:39,359 Speaker 1: you know, the collaboration amongst the staff, and just you know, 422 00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:41,639 Speaker 1: the talent that that's that's in that building, that you know, 423 00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:42,960 Speaker 1: the guys that work for me and the guys that 424 00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:45,160 Speaker 1: work for Daves. You know, I think it was good 425 00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:46,720 Speaker 1: for the world to see that. 426 00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:50,399 Speaker 12: Garius Layton said recently that this spring he would have 427 00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:53,160 Speaker 12: welcomed the trade if he wasn't going to be either 428 00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:55,320 Speaker 12: a bigger part of the offense here or paid like it. 429 00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:56,920 Speaker 1: Obviously you adjusted the contract. 430 00:17:57,400 --> 00:17:59,840 Speaker 12: Just wondering now as we sit here at camp, have 431 00:17:59,880 --> 00:18:02,080 Speaker 12: you put that kind of part of the conversation to 432 00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:05,800 Speaker 12: bed or if he doesn't factor as a primary receiver 433 00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:07,640 Speaker 12: in the offense, is that a consideration that. 434 00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:09,159 Speaker 1: Yeah, when when when he came in, we had a 435 00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:12,119 Speaker 1: conversation and that was never that was never an option. 436 00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:15,960 Speaker 1: He was a free agent two years ago and thirty 437 00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:18,000 Speaker 1: two teams had a chance to get his services and 438 00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:21,359 Speaker 1: he came back here, and you know, I believe we 439 00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:23,000 Speaker 1: gave him the best deal at the time, and it 440 00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:25,359 Speaker 1: was a two year deal, and you know, we had 441 00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:28,679 Speaker 1: a good conversation and you know, he understood where we 442 00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:30,720 Speaker 1: were and I understood where he was coming from. And 443 00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:32,359 Speaker 1: you know, we put it to bed when he showed 444 00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:33,480 Speaker 1: up in uh in the spring. 445 00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:36,960 Speaker 2: So so every time you draft in lines for big 446 00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:39,280 Speaker 2: roles or bigger roles, like how important is it going 447 00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:40,800 Speaker 2: to be for those guys to take the next step 448 00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:42,840 Speaker 2: and just what's your confidence that they will. 449 00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:44,840 Speaker 3: Guys? 450 00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:46,880 Speaker 1: Right, Well, I mean it's always important to have young 451 00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:49,040 Speaker 1: guys contribute because you you know, getting the salary cap, 452 00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:50,800 Speaker 1: which you guys see and how we spread it around 453 00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:53,320 Speaker 1: and some of the players that were that that we 454 00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:56,360 Speaker 1: are that we were paying, it's important to have those 455 00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:59,919 Speaker 1: young contributors. And you know, I think, you know, coaching 456 00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,359 Speaker 1: wise and the staff wise, like the ability to develop 457 00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:05,040 Speaker 1: young talent is important. So, yeah, those guys are gonna 458 00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:06,720 Speaker 1: have bigger roles. And it's hard to believe that some 459 00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:08,160 Speaker 1: of the guys in our first draft are going into 460 00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:10,719 Speaker 1: year three and you know, some of those guys are 461 00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:14,440 Speaker 1: gonna have really big roles. You know Micah Wandell Cavon, 462 00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:17,680 Speaker 1: you know Evan when he gets back, you know Flat. 463 00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:19,960 Speaker 1: You know, there's some guys competing for some spots, Danes 464 00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:21,840 Speaker 1: competing for a spot, you know, a lot of playing time. 465 00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:24,479 Speaker 1: So I'm excited for those guys to watch them mature 466 00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:27,800 Speaker 1: and you know, get assimilated into the culture that we 467 00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:30,160 Speaker 1: wanted to build here and now they're the flag bears 468 00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:31,640 Speaker 1: of how we want to do things when the next 469 00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:33,760 Speaker 1: class comes in and they've done a really good job 470 00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:36,200 Speaker 1: of leading and showing, you know, this rookie class how 471 00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:38,240 Speaker 1: we're going to do things. So again, that takes time 472 00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:40,600 Speaker 1: to build that and you know, the way that we 473 00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:42,040 Speaker 1: want to do things. And you know, I think that 474 00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:43,920 Speaker 1: first rookie class that we have have done a really 475 00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:45,399 Speaker 1: good job of leading, and you know they will have 476 00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:46,160 Speaker 1: a big contribution. 477 00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:49,119 Speaker 3: Every time we see you guys talking to neighbors on 478 00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:52,160 Speaker 3: the show, you're asking about his hot temper, or your 479 00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:56,240 Speaker 3: scout is saying there's a lot to his personality now 480 00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:58,119 Speaker 3: that you're around him. How much of a concern is 481 00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:01,320 Speaker 3: the temper on the field and his personality off the field. 482 00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:05,720 Speaker 8: I don't have any concern with Leak. I like his 483 00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:08,800 Speaker 8: mindset again, he's got a lot to learn.

Have a lot of confidence in 504 00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:02,199 Speaker 8: the people in our room and excited about getting started. 505 00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:05,760 Speaker 7: Yo, what do you what do you think ownership's expectations 506 00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:06,600 Speaker 7: are for this season? 507 00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:08,159 Speaker 3: Oh? 508 00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:10,280 Speaker 1: Right, cool? What Brian just said, Like, we're just we're 509 00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:13,800 Speaker 1: trying to get through day one practice and that there's 510 00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:15,320 Speaker 1: I don't know how many practice we have in camp, 511 00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:19,520 Speaker 1: but there's there's a team building, roles, jobs scheme that's 512 00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:21,840 Speaker 1: all going to be developed throughout this year. So again, 513 00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:24,359 Speaker 1: the good thing with ownership, we have great communication. We 514 00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:27,520 Speaker 1: talk every day and they understand where we are and 515 00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:29,000 Speaker 1: what we're we're going to do. And that's the focus 516 00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:31,000 Speaker 1: right now is today, and you know, we're going to 517 00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:33,560 Speaker 1: continue to build this thing and best eleven on offense, 518 00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:36,199 Speaker 1: best eleven in defense. What they do well, that's what 519 00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:38,040 Speaker 1: we'll accentuate and that's what we'll build around. 520 00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:41,240 Speaker 10: What you with, what you went through at quarterback last 521 00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:44,159 Speaker 10: year was playing the three guys and a guy like 522 00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:47,280 Speaker 10: Tommy who didn't get first team reps until he was 523 00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:51,800 Speaker 10: actually in position to start. Do you handle your quarterbacks 524 00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:55,960 Speaker 10: any different league this summer, getting guys ready, getting guys prepared, 525 00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:59,320 Speaker 10: knowing for the worst case scenario that happened last year. 526 00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:02,080 Speaker 8: Yeah, I would say the fortunate part is, again it 527 00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:05,239 Speaker 8: was OTA's but a guy like Drew and Tommy got 528 00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:07,400 Speaker 8: a ton of reps with a lot of different players, 529 00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:11,240 Speaker 8: the one receivers, the one tight ends that was valuable 530 00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:14,160 Speaker 8: for those guys but you only get so many reps 531 00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:16,359 Speaker 8: each day, and you know Daniel will get all the 532 00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:17,440 Speaker 8: reps with the ones. 533 00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:19,280 Speaker 4: You know, we might throw Drew in there. 534 00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:21,760 Speaker 8: Just you know, in case daniel shoe falls off and 535 00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:23,359 Speaker 8: we got to throw them there without Drew knowing. 536 00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:25,640 Speaker 4: But you know, you meet. 537 00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:27,840 Speaker 8: Like last year, I talked about meet with de Vito 538 00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:29,800 Speaker 8: from training camp all the way on just one on 539 00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:32,800 Speaker 8: one meetings because you never know, and sometimes that's how 540 00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:35,800 Speaker 8: they get their reps mentally going through the film, talking 541 00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:40,919 Speaker 8: through things, reads, intent of the play, protection adjustments, no 542 00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:45,960 Speaker 8: huddle formations, leadership in the huddle play call, and you 543 00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:48,320 Speaker 8: get a feel for even though he's not out there 544 00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:50,480 Speaker 8: with the ones of some of the things that they like, 545 00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:53,359 Speaker 8: because not every quarterback is the same. None of them 546 00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:55,280 Speaker 8: that I've been around have been the same, and we've 547 00:22:55,320 --> 00:23:01,440 Speaker 8: always adjusted to the quarterback spot. So again, valuable for Drew, 548 00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:04,760 Speaker 8: valuable for Tommy, and now this will be a valuable 549 00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:07,960 Speaker 8: time for for DJ here getting back out there feeling 550 00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:10,200 Speaker 8: the rush a little bit, albeit no pads and things 551 00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:12,080 Speaker 8: like that right now, which is you know, similar to 552 00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:15,320 Speaker 8: OTAs for the first couple of days, uh, based on 553 00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:17,480 Speaker 8: no pads and things like that, but the juices should 554 00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:21,000 Speaker 8: be up and those guys will get the reps, you know, 555 00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:23,240 Speaker 8: with the ones, with the twos, with the threes, and 556 00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:26,639 Speaker 8: then there's other things you can do walk through wise again, 557 00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:32,560 Speaker 8: meeting wise, communication. It's such an important position to really 558 00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:36,320 Speaker 8: identify their strengths and some of their weaknesses. And I 559 00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:40,439 Speaker 8: value the quarterbacks input a great deal. And you know, 560 00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:43,040 Speaker 8: the last four quarterbacks I've been around, we've you know, 561 00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:45,240 Speaker 8: we've done a little bit different with all the quarterbacks 562 00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:48,080 Speaker 8: and then throwing the two guys last year that were 563 00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:50,359 Speaker 8: the backups, it was all a little bit different. 564 00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:52,920 Speaker 4: So now that's how it'll be this year. 565 00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:56,200 Speaker 5: Following up on the following, following up in the expectations 566 00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:59,000 Speaker 5: for one second, how fair is it in the year 567 00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:04,119 Speaker 5: three for you to be expected to compete with the 568 00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:05,960 Speaker 5: top teams in your division? The Eagles, I know you 569 00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:07,199 Speaker 5: beat them at the end of this year, and the 570 00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:09,600 Speaker 5: Cowboys they've had the better view for the better part 571 00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:12,000 Speaker 5: of the first two years, and then the nots them, 572 00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:13,920 Speaker 5: but also the top teams in the NFC and even 573 00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:14,359 Speaker 5: the league. 574 00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:16,239 Speaker 8: Yeah, I'll just fall back to work. It's first day 575 00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:19,560 Speaker 8: of training camp. Get out there on the grass and start. 576 00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:24,600 Speaker 6: Competing on a lighter side with all the football questions. 577 00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:26,160 Speaker 9: You're coming into training camp. 578 00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:27,960 Speaker 4: How much lighter are you? 579 00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:35,119 Speaker 6: You have new sets of clothes and all that. You know. 580 00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:39,080 Speaker 8: I go to this carnival every year back in Buffalo 581 00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:41,280 Speaker 8: Town called West Sunica, where I grew up. 582 00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:44,280 Speaker 4: I got thirty forty friends. 583 00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:48,159 Speaker 8: They kind of know my weight history tom where it 584 00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:49,720 Speaker 8: goes up and goes down. I mean, there was a 585 00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:52,120 Speaker 8: season in Cleveland where I lost one hundred and twelve pounds. 586 00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:57,320 Speaker 8: I didn't lose nearly that much, but last year I 587 00:24:57,640 --> 00:24:59,600 Speaker 8: kind of lost a bet with one of my best friends, 588 00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:04,840 Speaker 8: who you know, got tattoos everywhere Rogers Motorcycles.
