1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:05,440
Speaker 1: One most others. Everybody will do everything. I think it's

2
00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:08,280
Speaker 1: progressing how you would think, you know, practice would progress

3
00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:09,960
Speaker 1: at this point with these guys, you know what I mean,

4
00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:12,480
Speaker 1: just working every day trying to get better. There's so

5
00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:16,000
Speaker 1: much to get better. Um, you know, a lot of good,

6
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:17,840
Speaker 1: a lot of bad. Just you know, one day at

7
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:19,640
Speaker 1: a time. Stack the days, you know, that's something we

8
00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:23,440
Speaker 1: say here, a bunch of stack to days before you've

9
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:27,080
Speaker 1: got starting. If you're going, yeah, I mean, you know

10
00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 1: we're out here. And and kind of the rules changes

11
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 1: this year of guys being able to hold the shields

12
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:33,800
Speaker 1: out in front of one another, so it really allows

13
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:35,400
Speaker 1: us to be able to step into some blocks and

14
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:37,480
Speaker 1: kind of do some things within the rules. But them

15
00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:39,680
Speaker 1: holding the shield versus blocking things on air allows you

16
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:41,960
Speaker 1: to get some of the fundamentals and start them early,

17
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:44,440
Speaker 1: which are what this position is about. Every good play

18
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:49,360
Speaker 1: is going to have good fundamentals. So all right, I mean,

19
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:51,919
Speaker 1: that's that's where my eyes start. But it doesn't end there.

20
00:00:52,040 --> 00:01:01,200
Speaker 1: So so we're charting. I'm not charting necessarily, don't know

21
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 1: how many you're hearing me talking a lot more in

22
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:08,039
Speaker 1: meetings like I I mean, just you know, four or

23
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:10,760
Speaker 1: five hours. There's a straight talking versus you know the

24
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:14,800
Speaker 1: other is probably the change, the biggest change that it's quickly.

25
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 1: I mean it's a point, right, you don't have a choice.

26
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 1: Are we talking more meetings? Are you know? I mean,

27
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:24,400
Speaker 1: I mean as as your role changes. But I mean

28
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 1: when you're sitting in the other chair, you're obviously trying to,

29
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 1: you know, make sure you're prepared and doing it. So.

30
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 1: You know, I've coached a bunch of years. I've run

31
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:32,399
Speaker 1: rooms in the past, you know, not at this level,

32
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 1: but it's coaching is coaching, and you know, um, just

33
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 1: step in and hopefully do your job. Like it says

34
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:43,480
Speaker 1: on on the front door. You guys like Frosting, Yeah,

35
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:45,759
Speaker 1: what is time? To me? It is all on all

36
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 1: sides of the line. You're happy to be working. I mean,

37
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 1: I mean at this point, you know, what are your

38
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 1: seven days in? I don't think we're happy with where

39
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 1: anyone is at. And I'm not trying to give you

40
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 1: a coach speak. I just I mean truly, Um, you know,

41
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 1: we're all out there every day just trying to improve. Uh,

42
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 1: you know tomorrow will be a big opportunity. We put

43
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 1: the pads on for a second time, we don't have

44
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 1: a lot of padded days before we go play football.

45
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,239
Speaker 1: So the goal is, you know, like little winds every

46
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 1: day of like, hey, let's whether it's pad level, where

47
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 1: it's footstep, whether each guy's got their own individual you know,

48
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 1: crosses the bear and Okay, I gotta improve on this.

49
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 1: I gotta improve on that. But we will continue to

50
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:20,800
Speaker 1: cross train a lot of guys because you never know

51
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 1: what's going to happen. I can't. I can't predict the future.

52
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 1: If I could, they pay me more money, I probably

53
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 1: do something. Yeah, right, when anything you could learn from that,

54
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:39,680
Speaker 1: I would just say, I mean what we took out

55
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:42,079
Speaker 1: of that was we've got to get continue to work

56
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:45,520
Speaker 1: our fundamentals and and it starts with a good first

57
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 1: step and it ends with pad level, like and we

58
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 1: just got to concentrate on those two things every day.

59
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,240
Speaker 1: And and I think, well, we'll make headway. I know

60
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 1: you guys have been in charge and doing like you said,

61
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,359
Speaker 1: Dante's text me. You know, he's a he's a resource

62
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:02,920
Speaker 1: for all of us, I mean any one of us.

63
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:05,680
Speaker 1: You know, Um, he reached out to me when uh,

64
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:07,360
Speaker 1: you know, we kind of came into training camp and

65
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:10,640
Speaker 1: his words meant more than most um. And you know,

66
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:12,520
Speaker 1: it's been a it's been an exciting time. But it's

67
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 1: not just me. It's the Vets, it's the other old linement.

68
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:17,799
Speaker 1: It's Billy Yates who got moved over and he's doing

69
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 1: a tremendous job. You know, I'd be lost without Billy.

70
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 1: So it's it's not just me by any means. I

71
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:26,679
Speaker 1: think because he's a guy that has done it. He's

72
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 1: done it here, he's done it at a high level. Um.

73
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:31,960
Speaker 1: He sees things sometimes through a different lens, and he

74
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 1: can offer a suggestion that maybe I hadn't thought of um.

75
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 1: And then just you know, if I get on a

76
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 1: rant and a tear in a meeting and worked two

77
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 1: minutes the squad, he says, Hey, Carmen, let's go. So

78
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 1: it sounds like I happened a couple of five dollars

79
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:50,120
Speaker 1: once or twice. Brown has been very honest his connection

80
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 1: with Star. Yeah, Evenai the other day that after he

81
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 1: should Yeah, what have you learn about coach Trump? Brown?

82
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 1: What are you seeing him in eighteen? Another part of

83
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 1: his view, I think, well, I think you see a

84
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 1: Trent Brown that's super excited to be back here. And

85
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 1: working with this club. He understands what's expected, um, and

86
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 1: and he's doing a great job. I think one of

87
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 1: the things that are neat that I like out of

88
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 1: Trent is he's a coach on the field. He's got

89
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 1: so much knowledge, he's played so much football for him,

90
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 1: and he's not greedy with it. He's willing to impart

91
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 1: that to the young guys. And I hear him always

92
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:24,839
Speaker 1: this kind of a word in somebody's ear, and it's

93
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 1: always on point, um, you know. And it's I've enjoyed

94
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 1: so far, you know, building relationship with Trent. But as

95
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,360
Speaker 1: a coach, you got to realize when you're working with Trent,

96
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 1: it's gonna look different than how others can do it,

97
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 1: you know, so you might not coach Tommy as you're

98
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 1: gonna coach Trent and vice versa. But um, it's really been.

99
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 1: It's good and we're trying to figuring one another out

100
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:48,839
Speaker 1: and we're just improving every day. That's the goal. And

101
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 1: there's definitely been a period where you know, we'd like

102
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:55,720
Speaker 1: it's truly I mean, his level of experience within this system. UM.

103
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:57,839
Speaker 1: A lot of times into meetings, Like I said, it's

104
00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 1: not just me it's we, it's a collective, and we're

105
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 1: coming to an agreement in the sense of this is

106
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 1: how we're going to do it. It might be off

107
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 1: of how we've done it in the past, or we're

108
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 1: making a modification because Josh wants indifferent and we'll go

109
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 1: from there. But having David in the room is truly

110
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 1: invaluable opinions, whichever guy's exp
