1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,360
Speaker 1: Be getting the starting operations probably for a couple of quarters.

2
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:05,240
Speaker 1: What do you want to see from them, just you know,

3
00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:06,800
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks before the regular seasons.

4
00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:09,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, similar thing as you know we talked about week

5
00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:12,560
Speaker 2: one or preseason week one of seeing just a clean operation.

6
00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:14,880
Speaker 2: You know, you want to see clear communication. It's our

7
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:16,800
Speaker 2: chance to be at home. You kind of want the

8
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:19,400
Speaker 2: butterflies of these guys getting in a game and understanding

9
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:22,360
Speaker 2: they're about to get tackled. You know, there's pressure on

10
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:24,400
Speaker 2: the line. If you don't convert your you're punting and

11
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:26,320
Speaker 2: all that type of stuff. So you really just want

12
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:28,160
Speaker 2: to try to get that smoothed out for the guys.

13
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:30,320
Speaker 2: So that week one, it's not the first time they've

14
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:33,040
Speaker 2: felt that way or communicated in a huddle or broken

15
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:35,919
Speaker 2: a huddle together and all that stuff. So clean operation

16
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:39,040
Speaker 2: from a communication substitution standpoint, and then you want to

17
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:41,680
Speaker 2: see him execute again. It's still somewhat of a core

18
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 2: game plan for us. It's not exotic stuff. So you

19
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:46,080
Speaker 2: just want to go out and see clean execution out

20
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 2: of these guys making plays too.

21
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 3: Express what's your plans for the second half as far

22
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 3: as CJ and Nathan and do we read anything in

23
00:00:57,800 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 3: those backs that Nathan didn't get a whole lot of

24
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 3: rep yesterday and curious?

25
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 4: No, I mean it'll continue to be CJ.

26
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:04,759
Speaker 2: We'll get the first action coming out of the half,

27
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 2: and then Nathan will get an opportunity if if the

28
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:11,760
Speaker 2: situation fits. That's not necessarily, it doesn't always go that way.

29
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 2: So again we're saying it, it's not stamped, it's not

30
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 2: in concrete or anything like that. Things could change. I

31
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:17,839
Speaker 2: think that's kind of the one thing as we reserve

32
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 2: the right to change depending on whatever happens within a situation,

33
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 2: a game today, tomorrow.

34
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 4: Whatever that may be.

35
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:26,800
Speaker 2: But you know, CJ continues to be our our second

36
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 2: quarterback and Nathan's continuing to compete in that third role

37
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:30,400
Speaker 2: right now.

38
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 3: Like I said, the limited numbers and they had into

39
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:36,840
Speaker 3: two team carriers, is that anything to read into that?

40
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 2: No, I mean I think that's just you know, our

41
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 2: second quarterback takes the second amount of reps or the

42
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 2: second majority of the reps, and then the third quarterback

43
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 2: gets the next ones after that. Paris, Uh, Jacob's done

44
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 2: a good job so far. I mean, there there's only

45
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 2: been so many opportunities where it's live, bullets are flying,

46
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 2: people are trying to tackle the ball carrier. But he's

47
00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 2: a guy that's done it in this league, you know,

48
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 2: in competitive situations. So he's got a tape out there,

49
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 2: plus the things we've seen from him. But we feel

50
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 2: like it's it's a role he could certainly contribute to.

51
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:09,919
Speaker 4: That.

52
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 1: Trevors really home and right now ready to kind of,

53
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:15,799
Speaker 1: for lack of better, from pick up.

54
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:18,080
Speaker 4: Where that thought last year. It feels that way.

55
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 2: I mean, obviously you got to prove it every down

56
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 2: in this league, but it certainly seems like he's kind

57
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 2: of picked up where he left off at the end

58
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 2: of the season and carried that through the entire office.

59
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 2: He's not necessarily training camp to where you know, it

60
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 2: feels like we're light years ahead as an offense of

61
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 2: where we were at this time last year. So but again,

62
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 2: in this league, you got to prove it every single down.

63
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 2: It doesn't matter how you feel, it matters how you perform.

64
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 2: So that's where we want to continue to see from

65
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 2: all our guys, is the offense in.

66
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 4: Terms of what he likes to do, what you guys

67
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:49,800
Speaker 4: are tailing it to him as opposed to last year.

68
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:50,960
Speaker 4: We just kind of threw it all up.

69
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 2: I don't know, because I think you start with a

70
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 2: certain vision of an offense and then kind of week

71
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:00,400
Speaker 2: to week you would change a little bit, Taylor, your

72
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 2: approach to attack a certain defense, or really not necessarily

73
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:06,360
Speaker 2: an attack a certain defense, but to win a game

74
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 2: because a lot of times like we need to take

75
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 2: an account who we're playing on offense, how the big

76
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 2: picture of what gives our team the best ability to

77
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 2: win is like how that's reflecting the way we play

78
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,239
Speaker 2: on offense. And then within a game you've got to

79
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 2: be able to kind of ebb and flow. But I

80
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 2: think just in terms of where we thought we'd be

81
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 2: last year, where we were last year and where we

82
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 2: are now, I think they'll be maybe some of the

83
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 2: bread and butter things that we felt like Trevor got

84
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 2: really comfortable at fit our personnel.

85
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 4: But then we have new personnel.

86
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 2: So how do we mix in Calvin, how do we

87
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 2: mix in Brenton Strange Tank, those types of guys and

88
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 2: fit their skill set to kind of continue to evolve

89
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 2: our offense and grow our offense.

90
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 3: Maybe from the guys or whatever with all the playmakers

91
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 3: you have, But if this offense really gets rolling.

92
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,119
Speaker 1: It's kind of unstoppable or could be unstoppable.

93
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I think i'd like to think all

94
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 2: our guys feel that way.

95
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 4: But again, like we.

96
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 2: Said, it's it's a down to down league, so you

97
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 2: got to bring in every single time. You got to

98
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 2: be able to execute regardless of the circumstance. So it

99
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 2: really doesn't matter how you feel or what you think

100
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 2: of something that it's what you put on tape, how.

101
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 4: You perform really for those three hours each Sunday.

102
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 1: Was the conversation after the NFL changed the rule for

103
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 1: quarterbacks the third quarterback. Was there a conversation about should.

104
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 4: We keep three?

105
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:18,840
Speaker 1: Do we need to keep three from you just keep

106
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:20,920
Speaker 1: going business as usual with a guy in the practice.

107
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 2: Well, we've had those conversations here and there, and I

108
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 2: think it's really kind of a case by case.

109
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 4: Week by week basis. Really.

110
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 2: I mean, there may be a situation you keep that

111
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 2: guy in the fifty three, but if you're light in

112
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:35,719
Speaker 2: another position, you need the bodies and you're healthy at quarterback,

113
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 2: maybe that week you don't have a third quarterback.

114
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 4: However that looks so it could be. Yeah, I don't know.

115
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 2: I think, just like anything in this league. Things could

116
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 2: change so quickly. Everything's down to down, game to game,

117
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 2: whatever it is. So I don't know that there's one

118
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:52,840
Speaker 2: blanket philosophy we have on that situation. Necessarily, it's not

119
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 2: really too concerning the third quarterback thing. I mean, it

120
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 2: seems like that doesn't really happen too often, where you

121
00:04:58,160 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 2: have starter and your.

122
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 1: Backup go down them then you have to bring in

123
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 1: the third guy.

124
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 4: Or is that really a concern?

125
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 2: I mean, I think part of it you'd take into

126
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 2: account the health of your quarterbacks at the moment. So

127
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 2: if you had one that was going in maybe injured

128
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,279
Speaker 2: a little bit and would be a little more likely

129
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:16,720
Speaker 2: to reinjure something like that, maybe then the value would

130
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:20,279
Speaker 2: be having another one. But it's one of those situations

131
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:22,240
Speaker 2: where you don't need it until you need it. So

132
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, you're in the NFC Championship game,

133
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:27,279
Speaker 2: as the Niners were, when kind of the talk of

134
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:28,839
Speaker 2: this thing all rose up, and all of a sudden

135
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 2: it happened, and you don't have it, and so you know,

136
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 2: I know they did it a couple of years back

137
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:37,120
Speaker 2: with the third quarterback being available and went away from

138
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 2: it and have gone back to it. So I think

139
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:41,359
Speaker 2: they're just continue to try to meet the needs of

140
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:44,480
Speaker 2: whatever's going on within the league and that's certain timeframe

141
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:46,480
Speaker 2: and come up with the best rule for it. But

142
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:48,840
Speaker 2: I think each team's philosophy is probably going to change

143
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:50,359
Speaker 2: on how they approach it, and I think it should

144
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 2: based on week to week situations.

145
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 1: Kind of figuring out who the number six receiver is

146
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 1: going to be. Is that do you defer to special

147
00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 1: teams or do you do you fight? You have to

148
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 1: fight for your guy.

149
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:04,919
Speaker 2: I mean, we try to work together. So when we

150
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 2: go through our offensive personnel evaluations, just as a staff,

151
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:09,839
Speaker 2: Heath and Luke are in the room with us and

152
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 2: we want to hear their opinion and all that because

153
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:14,599
Speaker 2: we understand the big picture of the roster development. Now,

154
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 2: if you get to ask me, do you want a

155
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 2: defensive guy or an offensive guy, I'm always going to

156
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:21,159
Speaker 2: fight for the offensive guy.

157
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 4: Because I'm the offensive coordinator.

158
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:26,160
Speaker 2: But we all understand Doug and Trent's, you know, their

159
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 2: role in shaping the whole roster and understanding the big

160
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 2: picture of everything. So you know, we all understand that

161
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:34,280
Speaker 2: we want to be able to present the most useful

162
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 2: information for them.

163
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:36,280
Speaker 4: So there's a lot of times.

164
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:37,840
Speaker 2: Again, like I've said a couple of times, if our

165
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 2: top four are healthy, really you're assuming that fifth guy's

166
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:43,280
Speaker 2: going to get four or five snaps on offense.

167
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:44,159
Speaker 4: If all goes well.

168
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:48,040
Speaker 2: So, yes, then we would defer to how Doug Trent

169
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:50,040
Speaker 2: Heath see that role for us?

170
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 1: When you're having a conversations, how do you kind of

171
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 1: balance a veteran who maybe has been there, done that

172
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 1: or a young player who you think the future is

173
00:06:58,520 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 1: right for.

174
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:01,840
Speaker 4: How do you Again, it's all case by case.

175
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, you'd get into all sorts of factors,

176
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:06,839
Speaker 2: and a lot of times that goes beyond us, that

177
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:10,120
Speaker 2: goes to trenton Doug and understanding maybe the salary cap

178
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 2: fits whatever. There's a ton of factors that you can

179
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 2: involve in it. A lot of times you'll go to

180
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 2: experience the player, maybe potential development, if there's certain close closeness,

181
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 2: health history, whatever it may be, of what you project

182
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 2: long term for certain players in that battle. But again,

183
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 2: I don't think there's a certain you always go with

184
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 2: a young guy. I think it's a case by case.

185
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 2: What are we looking at right now? What are we

186
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 2: dealing with? Big picture wise? To make the best decision

187
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:36,119
Speaker 2: in that moment.

188
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 1: Sorry, coach. From your perspective, what makes head coach Dog

189
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 1: Pearson so good working with these tight ends and.

190
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 2: Making them so great, Well, I don't know necessarily that

191
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 2: it's the tight ends in general. I think it's just

192
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 2: the past game, the way he sees things, the way

193
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 2: we want to feature the best possible matchups. So he

194
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 2: obviously came from Kansas City, where Travis Kelsey was a

195
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 2: great player. In Philadelphia with Zach Ertz and Dallas Gardard,

196
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 2: they were great player So we did everything we could,

197
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 2: at least in Philly to utilize great players. So here

198
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 2: I think you see even we've had probably better success

199
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 2: statistically with outside receivers or slot receivers than we ever

200
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 2: had at our time in Philly because we feel like

201
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 2: those were great matchups for us. So it certainly tight

202
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 2: ends and dominating in the middle of the field, and

203
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 2: there's somebody that whether they're matched up on linebackers or safeties,

204
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 2: you hope you have the talent at that position that

205
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 2: could exploit that matchup. And I think that's something that

206
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 2: Evan brings to us. Brenton continues to have a role

207
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 2: moving forward and trying to feature the same ideas. Thanks
