1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,600
Speaker 1: Give us a holistic picture. Then, since I guess we

2
00:00:02,680 --> 00:00:04,160
Speaker 1: talked to you like two weeks ago, kind of what

3
00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:07,000
Speaker 1: you've seen, highlights, things to build upon.

4
00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:11,039
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's I think it's been a really productive training camp.

5
00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:11,280
Speaker 3: You know.

6
00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:14,840
Speaker 2: Part of it is obviously you wanna as a competitor,

7
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:17,079
Speaker 2: you want to win every play, win every rep, and

8
00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:19,160
Speaker 2: have a great day walking off the field as an

9
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:21,800
Speaker 2: offense feeling like you had a good day. And we've

10
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:23,680
Speaker 2: definitely had some of those days. But we've also had

11
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:25,840
Speaker 2: days where defense has punched us in the mouth a

12
00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:27,960
Speaker 2: little bit. They've given us some tough looks, some stuff

13
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:30,000
Speaker 2: that is really going to help us. So I think

14
00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:32,960
Speaker 2: it's been a really good back and forth. It's exciting

15
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:36,440
Speaker 2: for me knowing the challenge that our defense has presented

16
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:38,520
Speaker 2: to us. It gets me excited for the regular season

17
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:40,640
Speaker 2: when we're all on the same team and knowing that

18
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:42,280
Speaker 2: that's the defense other people are gonna face.

19
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:44,280
Speaker 3: I think that gets me excited.

20
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 2: Then offensively, some of the things I know we wanted

21
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:51,120
Speaker 2: to work on, whether it's run game, pass game, just

22
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:54,639
Speaker 2: staying on schedule details, all these different things. That's kind

23
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 2: of generic, but the stuff that I felt like we

24
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 2: really need to improve on from last year, include myself.

25
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:01,280
Speaker 2: I do think we've taken big steps in those areas.

26
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:05,480
Speaker 2: Every day has not been perfect, not been clean necessarily,

27
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 2: but a lot to learn from.

28
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 3: And I think that's what camp's about.

29
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 2: And you want that competitive spirit and you want to

30
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 2: go back and forth, and I think the guys have

31
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 2: done a really good job of that.

32
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:14,040
Speaker 3: I think a larger.

33
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 4: Sense last week that the windows are tighter with this

34
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:21,680
Speaker 4: defense comparatively, just described that for you maybe the first

35
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 4: few practices, was it kind of a jolt of like, whoa,

36
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:25,839
Speaker 4: this is a little bit different than previous years.

37
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:28,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's really it's really good to practice against that.

38
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 2: You know, one not everyone plays that way, Like there's

39
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 2: different philosophies on defense, but when you when you go

40
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 2: against our defense that does play that way, it's very

41
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:38,360
Speaker 2: physical on the outside. There's no air, there's no cushion

42
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 2: for the most part. You know, obviously they adjust and

43
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:43,839
Speaker 2: they have different looks. But timing has to be perfect,

44
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 2: landmarks have to be perfect. Communication between myself and the

45
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 2: receivers or tight ends or whoever is critical because the

46
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 2: windows are you know, way smaller because they got there,

47
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 2: they're getting matched on different things where usually you're expecting

48
00:01:57,160 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 2: this play versus soft coverage, or you have some space

49
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 2: to run, you know, different things. It presents challenges where

50
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 2: it makes us look at our system too and certain

51
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 2: plays back all right, this play is not great against that,

52
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 2: or maybe we want to motion it this way or whatever.

53
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 3: You know.

54
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 2: I think it really makes you look at the full

55
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 2: picture and see how you can get better because you're

56
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 2: not just getting you know, off coverage where you can

57
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 2: just run and get off the line and do whatever

58
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 2: you want. You know, they challenge you, and I think

59
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:22,680
Speaker 2: that is good for us to see, especially in.

60
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 3: Camp, victorating preseason and just walking away healthy, having.

61
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 2: Players healthy, that's a huge win. It's walking away healthy now.

62
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 2: I do think that the work is really important and

63
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 2: making it count and getting good reps and learning from

64
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 2: them and making the corrections, and especially for younger guys,

65
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:42,680
Speaker 2: but not just younger guys, guys that are newer to

66
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:44,239
Speaker 2: the system or to the team or whatever.

67
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:44,799
Speaker 3: It is just.

68
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 2: Getting up to speed and correcting some of the mistakes

69
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,360
Speaker 2: that happened early on. And I have seen all the

70
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 2: guys do that, including myself, Like obviously I've made some

71
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 2: mistakes too. In training camp, and that's what it's about,

72
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 2: is getting those things ironed out, whether it's timing, whether

73
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 2: it's just you're gonna have where some days just the

74
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 2: ball doesn't come off my hand quite the way I

75
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:04,800
Speaker 2: want it to. And then get working through that stuff,

76
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 2: the timing with the guys, anticipation, protection stuff up front,

77
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 2: communicating with Mitch, who's obviously new. I think that is

78
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 2: a win too, is really getting on the same page

79
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:17,240
Speaker 2: throughout training camp with all the looks. But I mean, honestly,

80
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:19,359
Speaker 2: most important thing is staying healthy because you got to

81
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:19,960
Speaker 2: have all your guys.

82
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:23,360
Speaker 3: I'm like, where you doing? How much into a good time?

83
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:26,919
Speaker 3: Is Mac Jones having on this kind of scene, Max

84
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 3: having a great time.

85
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,640
Speaker 2: I'm sure you guys have seen, Uh Max fun to

86
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 2: be around.

87
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 3: Man. He's uh, he's just bubbly, you know. Loves football.

88
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 2: That's like like the best way to describe him, like this, bubbly,

89
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 2: you know, loves football, loves being out here. The guys

90
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 2: respond great to him, you know, but he has he

91
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 2: also has a great command, Like he's not just like

92
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 2: a jokester, you know, he's serious and uh takes care

93
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 2: of his business. Really smart player, you know, I've been

94
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 2: impressed with how he's handled everything, obviously coming into a

95
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 2: new QB room, different role, and you know CJ's here too,

96
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 2: and the dynamic between them has been cool to watch

97
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 2: and to see how those two of really gone with

98
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 2: the flow of the situation. And obviously everyone knows the deal,

99
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 2: like we're all here to compete and do our best

100
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 2: and play our best. Like that's, you know, plain and simple.

101
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 2: But you can have fun and you can have a

102
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 2: good QB room while doing it, you know, And I

103
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:17,159
Speaker 2: think that that's important to remember, not just for quarterbacks

104
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 2: but for every position. But you know, when you step

105
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:22,599
Speaker 2: on the field, obviously everyone's trying to execute and do their.

106
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 3: Best to make every play.

107
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 2: But I think we have a really good time in

108
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 2: our room, which makes it fun and we're all on

109
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 2: the same page.

110
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 3: And I think that is critical, especially as a quarterback.

111
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:34,720
Speaker 5: Because you a couple of years ago, I'm going to issue, guys,

112
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:36,359
Speaker 5: you start playing golf together.

113
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 2: I don't know, I don't know who it was, just

114
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:43,200
Speaker 2: both of us will say it's meant to be.

115
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 3: Signal digit chet. Yeah, I did. At the end of

116
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:49,839
Speaker 3: this offseason. I'll have to check it.

117
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:52,480
Speaker 2: As I had a good last round in Tahoe, which

118
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 2: helped me. It's like an eight high eight or like

119
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 2: a low nine or something like that.

120
00:04:55,839 --> 00:05:00,159
Speaker 3: Okay, what does that, if anything, do for you? You

121
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 3: and Christian.

122
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:06,279
Speaker 5: On the field, When you have that kind of ripport world.

123
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:10,280
Speaker 2: Off the field, I think it helps just having a

124
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:14,039
Speaker 2: relationship with someone beyond football and knowing them and you know,

125
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 2: obviously you know me and him and Marissa and Ozzy

126
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 2: his wife, we're all close, So I think that helps.

127
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 2: And when you know someone and you can address them

128
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 2: a certain way just because you really know each other

129
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 2: and your friends and it's not just just my teammate

130
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:29,159
Speaker 2: and we work together and that's it. You know, it

131
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:31,480
Speaker 2: goes beyond that. And I think it's not just Christian.

132
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 2: You know, I'm really close with Christian, but there's other

133
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 2: guys too where I feel like this offseason we've really

134
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 2: taken more time to go play golf or hang out

135
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 2: or do whatever, just because that stuff's important. I think

136
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:45,160
Speaker 2: to know your teammates and to have relationships with them

137
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 2: outside of this building only helps when you come to

138
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 2: work and when you have to sacrifice and you got

139
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:52,279
Speaker 2: to dig deep for the guy next to you. I

140
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:54,680
Speaker 2: think that stuff really does matter. You know, it sounds cliche,

141
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 2: but I do think it's becomes a lot easier when

142
00:05:57,480 --> 00:05:59,279
Speaker 2: you know, when you really know the guy next to

143
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 2: you is out.

144
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:03,920
Speaker 3: Of an ETN. So far in training camp, he's looked great.

145
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:07,240
Speaker 3: I'm just excited. Every year. I mean he's just gotten

146
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:07,919
Speaker 3: better and better.

147
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 2: I think as far as just his vision and his

148
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:13,719
Speaker 2: discipline in the run game, he's taking even another step.

149
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 2: I thought he took a huge step last year and

150
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 2: this year is even better. His hands out of the

151
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 2: backfield and just his route running. Honestly, I mean he's

152
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:25,479
Speaker 2: done a great job of just getting open and really

153
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:28,279
Speaker 2: expanding his what he can bring to the table for

154
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 2: our offense. I mean he's not just not just a

155
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:32,240
Speaker 2: guy that we're gonna run the ball, get him on

156
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:34,040
Speaker 2: the perimeter and some of the run game and get

157
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:35,600
Speaker 2: him in space. He really is a guy that's a

158
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 2: threat down the field now, and I feel like that's

159
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:39,480
Speaker 2: only gonna help him one get the ball more and

160
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 2: only gonna help our offense become more explosive because now

161
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 2: you got to you truly have a fifth guy to

162
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:46,679
Speaker 2: defend in the passing game. So I think it's gonna

163
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,480
Speaker 2: be really good for us, really good for him. Obviously,

164
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:52,480
Speaker 2: that's gonna help. You know, Travis is a guy you

165
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 2: want to get in space as much as you can.

166
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 2: I think being able to do that in the passing

167
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:57,719
Speaker 2: game is easier than always trying to find it in

168
00:06:57,760 --> 00:06:59,359
Speaker 2: the run game. You know, that can be a little

169
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 2: harder and even on its body throughout the season, take

170
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 2: some miles off of him too, So I think all

171
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 2: the way around, it's been a really great training camp

172
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 2: for him. Has looked good every year. I've said it,

173
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 2: but it's the best I've seen him. Look I said

174
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 2: that last year and he looks even better this year.

175
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 2: So I'm excited for him.

176
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 3: Elijah Cooks, what are you seeing from.

177
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:16,720
Speaker 5: Elijah Cooks this kind?

178
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just made some plays. I think, you know

179
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 2: what everybody sees. What Elija's good at is being physical,

180
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 2: going up, making the contested catches, especially in the red zone.

181
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 2: He's done that. He's made some splash plays. I think

182
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 2: he's getting more and more comfortable in the system. Obviously,

183
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 2: there's there's always wrinkles that we're adding. Training camp, we

184
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 2: do a lot of different things. We try stuff, you know,

185
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 2: some stuff doesn't work and we don't do it anymore,

186
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:40,119
Speaker 2: and some stuff we just want to see how it looks,

187
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 2: So there's always wrinkles, and I think for receivers it's

188
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 2: always kind of a learning curve of every day is

189
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 2: really different. In camp, you're not game planning. You don't

190
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 2: have this is our plan for the week, learn it,

191
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:53,320
Speaker 2: go execute it. During the season, it's more structured and

192
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 2: you kind of know what to expecting. Training camp, you're

193
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 2: just doing a bunch of different things, and you're getting

194
00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 2: sometimes bad looks on defense because you're not game planning defense.

195
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 2: You're not just trying to put in plays just to

196
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 2: beat them. You want to put in all your plays

197
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 2: so when you get to the season, you've ran them all.

198
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:08,560
Speaker 2: So I think it's more challenging for them because there's

199
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 2: every play to pick from. So some of the details

200
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 2: I think we need to get better, not just Elijah,

201
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 2: but just you know, all the younger receivers and even

202
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 2: guys that just just got here. I think just honing

203
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 2: in on the details. And like I said to me earlier,

204
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 2: was when you get the press coverage and you get

205
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 2: stuff like that and it's physical, they're even more critical

206
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:30,040
Speaker 2: because timing is imperative. I can't be laid on throws,

207
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 2: so you can't be coming out of your route early.

208
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,080
Speaker 2: You can't go too deep, can't be too short, whatever

209
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 2: it is. All that stuff really matters, and I think

210
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:38,600
Speaker 2: we've seen that throughout camp, which has been good for us.

211
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:41,599
Speaker 5: It's obviously preseason and you guys aren't gonna play the

212
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 5: whole game.

213
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 3: But is it gonna be anything extra, anything special going

214
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 3: up against Pad and the shoots, given what they've done

215
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:50,600
Speaker 3: in this league one? Saday, Yeah.

216
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 2: I mean anytime you have an opportunity to go out

217
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 2: there and play and they're keeping score and I'm not

218
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 2: wearing a red jersey, I think it's there's little extra

219
00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:58,600
Speaker 2: on it, and you want to play well and you

220
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 2: want to you want to perform, and you want to win.

221
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 2: I mean that's bottom line, preseason game whatever. He still

222
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:06,840
Speaker 2: want to win, and it's a good challenge for us.

223
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:09,079
Speaker 2: They're going to play their guys too, so it'll be

224
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 2: a good challenge for us and see how we see

225
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 2: how we stack up early. Obviously, this is it's preseason one.

226
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 2: There's a long ways to go before week one, but

227
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 2: I think it is important to kind of test yourself

228
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 2: and see how you look against the team that has

229
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:23,559
Speaker 2: been the standard of the past few years, and shouldn't.

230
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 3: Take it lightly.

231
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 2: It is just a preseason game, but you're playing, they're

232
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 2: keeping score.

233
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 3: You want to win it.

234
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:30,720
Speaker 2: So I think that's the mindset, and coach actually just

235
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 2: mentioned that after practice, So you know, we understand what

236
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:34,720
Speaker 2: we want to do and what the what the goal is.

237
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 5: How have you seen Brian kind of grow from the

238
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:38,400
Speaker 5: started camp or even OTAs.

239
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, we're we're asking him to kind of

240
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 2: do everything just to see you get a new guy,

241
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 2: and you want to see how how he runs certain routes,

242
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 2: what he's good at, you know, put him in different

243
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 2: positions and just see how he responds. And I think

244
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 2: he's done a great job of kind of adapting and

245
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 2: changing his role, you know, from day to day or

246
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:56,800
Speaker 2: even from play to play. So I think he's done

247
00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 2: a great job of learning that because that's something that

248
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:01,680
Speaker 2: you don't really as much in college as these schemes

249
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:04,960
Speaker 2: are just way different, offenses are way different. So he's

250
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:06,559
Speaker 2: a really smart guy, like I've said in the spring,

251
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 2: so he's picked it up quickly. I think now he's

252
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:11,959
Speaker 2: getting to the point where he's starting to play faster, like,

253
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:14,720
Speaker 2: because no matter how smart you are, how quick you pick.

254
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 3: Up the offense.

255
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:17,840
Speaker 2: I remember, you know, being a rookie and I know it,

256
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 2: but you're still kind of like a little bit slow.

257
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 2: When you're playing. You're thinking, you're still breaking the huddle,

258
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 2: You're thinking about where you're going, what you're running, and

259
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 2: then right before the ball snap, you're like, all right,

260
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 2: I know what I got. But as he has progressed,

261
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:31,199
Speaker 2: I think you can see it clicking more. Where he

262
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 2: has more confidence, he's breaking the huddle, he's going right

263
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:35,920
Speaker 2: to where he knows he's supposed to go. Some of

264
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 2: the routes have just been, you know, a little sharper

265
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:39,840
Speaker 2: as we've gone on, which has been great to see.

266
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:42,280
Speaker 2: And I know the more more we work them and

267
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:43,959
Speaker 2: he's in the system, he's just going to continue to

268
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 2: get more confident. That's like anybody. But I think right now,

269
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 2: it's he's done everything so far. We've kind of put

270
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 2: him in different spots and seeing what he's done, well,

271
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 2: maybe he's to work on whatever it is what we

272
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 2: think he can really bring to the table, and it's

273
00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:00,679
Speaker 2: expanding that and getting better at those things and putting

274
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:03,839
Speaker 2: him a position in a position to be successful, especially early,

275
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 2: get his confidence going early. I think that's gonna be important.

276
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:09,320
Speaker 2: And then from there, you know, I think the sky's

277
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:11,800
Speaker 2: limit for him. I just you know, once he starts

278
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 2: playing really fast, he's gonna be it's gonna be great.

279
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:16,480
Speaker 4: You've said it, for us, has said it, Doug has

280
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:16,840
Speaker 4: said it.

281
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:19,200
Speaker 1: You're trying to get more reps with not just the

282
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 1: top three guys at wide receiver, not just Travis, not

283
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 1: just Evan, who's a young guy or two who maybe

284
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:26,600
Speaker 1: have surprised you and you said, wow, that's someone who's

285
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:29,840
Speaker 1: in consideration for significant playing time.

286
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 3: There's I mean, there's a few guys.

287
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 2: I don't want to I don't want to leave anybody out,

288
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:35,160
Speaker 2: but I'll just give you one.

289
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:37,040
Speaker 3: Parker Washington has looked great.

290
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 2: I mean we've taught about it before, I think, but

291
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 2: from last year to this year, such an improvement just

292
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:45,560
Speaker 2: the way he's played, and for him to have a

293
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 2: full offseason where he's healthy.

294
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 3: I think it's been good for him too.

295
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 2: You know, he kind of started off I mentioned that

296
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 2: last time started off a little injured and it was

297
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:54,800
Speaker 2: hard for him to kind of get going because straight

298
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 2: at training camp and he had to really didn't have

299
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 2: OTAs to get settled in. So to see him this year,

300
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:01,880
Speaker 2: I mean it's been it's been cool to see his

301
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 2: transformation and how good he looks. Honestly, I've been really

302
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 2: impressed guy that you see him, and he's a slot receiver,

303
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:10,480
Speaker 2: but he's played outside, he's moved around, he can kind

304
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 2: of do everything, and he's great after the catch too,

305
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:14,200
Speaker 2: so that that's gonna help.

306
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:14,439
Speaker 3: Us a lot.

307
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 2: So that's a guy I'd probably say that I've noticed

308
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:20,320
Speaker 2: the most. But there's a bunch of guys that are

309
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:22,959
Speaker 2: making plays. You know, I don't even want to start,

310
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 2: and I'll name them all, but that's definitely Parker has

311
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:26,200
Speaker 2: looked great.

312
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:29,240
Speaker 5: Mentioned that Press is going to be trying calling play

313
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:31,520
Speaker 5: calling plays from the sideline. Is that something that you're

314
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:33,800
Speaker 5: looking forward to, maybe that extra element.

315
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 2: Of communication, Yeah, I mean, to be honest, I don't

316
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 2: really care that much where he's at.

317
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 3: I think it does.

318
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:44,199
Speaker 2: It cuts down some of the communication time.

319
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:48,559
Speaker 3: I guess that would be accurate. But either way I.

320
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 2: Can I can get on the headset quick, or I

321
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:52,720
Speaker 2: can tell Mike if I'm thinking something to tell him,

322
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:54,720
Speaker 2: you know, So that communication has always been good.

323
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:57,080
Speaker 3: So it doesn't change much. You know, it'll be it'll

324
00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:58,600
Speaker 3: be cool to see him down there and interact with him.

325
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:00,400
Speaker 2: I think he'll He'll be good for him to get

326
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:01,960
Speaker 2: a feel for just the team, because you know, there's

327
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:04,480
Speaker 2: some some games are just different in the field at

328
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 2: the beginning. You feel it as players and coaches on

329
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 2: the field, but I'm sure it's different from the press

330
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 2: box or the coaches booth like I just can't I've

331
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:13,080
Speaker 2: never been up there, so I don't know. I would

332
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:16,199
Speaker 2: assume it's different. Like you're you're kind of detached from

333
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:19,719
Speaker 2: the energy and the atmosphere of the sidelines. So we'll

334
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:21,560
Speaker 2: see how that changes things, if it does at all,

335
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 2: I don't really know.

336
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:24,560
Speaker 3: Doesne change what I have to do? So I haven't

337
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:25,720
Speaker 3: really thought about it, to be honest.

338
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:29,040
Speaker 5: Mitch and Mitch coming in, how's the connection with y'all

339
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:30,560
Speaker 5: and what does he bring into the offense.

340
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 2: It's been great. Mitch's a stude, just a great leader. Honestly,

341
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:36,600
Speaker 2: I think a guy that's like I said before, he's

342
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 2: proven himself in this league, is a great player, leads

343
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:41,800
Speaker 2: the right way. What I love about him is his attitude.

344
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:44,080
Speaker 2: You know, he's not afraid to work. You know, it's

345
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:47,840
Speaker 2: not just Debbie Downer, ten ten year vet coming in

346
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:49,800
Speaker 2: here that doesn't want to practice. Like he's excited to

347
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 2: go out there and practice. I love the way he

348
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:54,439
Speaker 2: leads the guys, he communicates, He's there's times where he's

349
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 2: wanting to get some extra works on some snaps and

350
00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:59,560
Speaker 2: I'm like, dude, he's been snapping for who knows millions

351
00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 2: of football in his career, like little things like he

352
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:04,840
Speaker 2: just it's always wanted to get better. The communication has

353
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:07,480
Speaker 2: been great, whether it's out here in the meeting rooms.

354
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:10,199
Speaker 2: And obviously our systems a little bit different than what

355
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 2: they did in Buffalo, so there's been a lot to

356
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 2: communicate through and he's done a great job.

357
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 3: So I love where we're at.

358
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:17,960
Speaker 2: It should to keep keep working that, but he's he's

359
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:19,840
Speaker 2: been awesome and much needed, you know, up up front

360
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:21,080
Speaker 2: of just as far as how he leads, I think

361
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 2: it's been awesome.

362
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 5: Force around you has been around like how you can

363
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:27,720
Speaker 5: improve and get better to fulfill your potential and win

364
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:30,480
Speaker 5: a Super Bowl. But looking back on your first three years,

365
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:32,200
Speaker 5: what are you kind of proud of in terms of

366
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:34,640
Speaker 5: what you've done on the field, In terms of just

367
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:35,920
Speaker 5: being a football player.

368
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:41,320
Speaker 3: Quote. No one's asked me that appreciate that. Uh.

369
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:45,000
Speaker 2: I think I've or I know I've gotten better every year.

370
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 2: There's been times there's been plays that where I've or

371
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 2: it doesn't look like it.

372
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 3: You know you're gonna have.

373
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:52,000
Speaker 2: Bad plays in your career and that's gonna happen. But

374
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:54,160
Speaker 2: you know, I know I've gotten better every year. I

375
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 2: think obviously we've talked about this stuff I need to

376
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:57,800
Speaker 2: get better at, and those are things I know I

377
00:14:57,800 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 2: need to get better at and I'm working.

378
00:14:58,960 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 3: On and moving forward.

379
00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:03,800
Speaker 2: But as far as just accuracy, giving guys a chance

380
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:05,520
Speaker 2: throwing the ball down field, that was something I didn't

381
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 2: do well at all my rookie year, and I think

382
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:12,160
Speaker 2: I've gotten better at that. I think just knowing the

383
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:14,960
Speaker 2: system making this the smart play that's been a big

384
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:17,360
Speaker 2: improvement for me. Staying on schedule is something I've learned

385
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 2: to do, especially last year, taking the early easy completions

386
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:23,040
Speaker 2: early in the games, or if it's you know, first

387
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:25,360
Speaker 2: second down, second and long, just getting the ball and

388
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 2: play whatever the situations are. I think I've gotten better situationally,

389
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:31,800
Speaker 2: that can still improve. There's been times last year where

390
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 2: I didn't play well situationally where I made some mistakes

391
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:38,120
Speaker 2: or turned it over or whatever. There's always everything is

392
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:40,640
Speaker 2: a learning experience. But those are some things just to

393
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:42,320
Speaker 2: think off top mettle want really thinking about it.

394
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:45,040
Speaker 5: But the thing is like the biggest learning proved that

395
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:47,480
Speaker 5: is like learning how to win and not always like

396
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:49,840
Speaker 5: going for the shot play and knowing to like take

397
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 5: a complete on first down.

398
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:53,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's something you definitely have to learn.

399
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:57,200
Speaker 2: I've said it, but you still have to You still

400
00:15:57,200 --> 00:15:59,080
Speaker 2: have to play aggressive. You know, you can't take that

401
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 2: killer instinct doubt of you.

402
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 4: You know.

403
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:04,480
Speaker 2: I think that is something that makes players great, is

404
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:06,520
Speaker 2: that ability to know when to take those shots. It's

405
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:11,640
Speaker 2: calculated risks so and sometimes you miscalculate, and hindsight.

406
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:12,640
Speaker 3: It does it's not the right decision.

407
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 2: But I always want to prepare myself for every situation

408
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:18,480
Speaker 2: and then in the game, I want to just play.

409
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:19,960
Speaker 2: You know, I don't want to overanalyze. I don't want

410
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:22,160
Speaker 2: to think. I don't want to you know, check a

411
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:23,800
Speaker 2: ball down and think, God, I wish I would have

412
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 2: throw the shot. I don't want to throw the shot

413
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:26,360
Speaker 2: and be like, man, I wish I would have checked

414
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 2: it down. You know there's just gonna be plays where

415
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:29,920
Speaker 2: you're not always going to be right. So I think

416
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:31,880
Speaker 2: the biggest thing I've gotten better at is being able

417
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:33,880
Speaker 2: to move on to the next play, and that maybe

418
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,040
Speaker 2: is the most important thing playing this position in this league,

419
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:38,440
Speaker 2: and you have to be able to do and sometimes

420
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:40,520
Speaker 2: it's harder than others. But I think that's something where

421
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 2: you know, I've gotten better, but you got to keep

422
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:44,560
Speaker 2: getting better because that always is a challenge because there's

423
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 2: gonna be some some bad plays in there and you

424
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:48,200
Speaker 2: got to move on to the next and make the.

425
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:50,680
Speaker 3: Next one right. Awesome, Thank y'all.
