1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,320
Speaker 1: All right, so day two. I think Day one was

2
00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:07,640
Speaker 1: very productive. I thought the guys competed pretty well. Um,

3
00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:09,600
Speaker 1: they were able to take from the meeting rooms and

4
00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:12,719
Speaker 1: to walk throughs to the field the information and and

5
00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:15,000
Speaker 1: really perform at a pretty high level for a first

6
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:17,320
Speaker 1: time out. Um, we'll try to add to it today

7
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:20,560
Speaker 1: because of the rain. We know we walked through inside,

8
00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:23,159
Speaker 1: we'll still try to go outside if we can, and

9
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:26,320
Speaker 1: we're just trying to make it a game time decision

10
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:29,400
Speaker 1: whether we got to come back inside here. But otherwise,

11
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:31,200
Speaker 1: I thought it was a pretty productive day and we'll

12
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:34,479
Speaker 1: just try to build on build on yesterday today. So

13
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:38,040
Speaker 1: I'll take your questions. Could you learn about Sa Kwan?

14
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:40,839
Speaker 1: You obviously knew a lot about him through the draft process,

15
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 1: but when you got your your hands on him in

16
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:45,960
Speaker 1: your eyes on what you learned? Well, just a little

17
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:48,879
Speaker 1: bit what I just kind of lead with. Um, you know,

18
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:51,199
Speaker 1: he's got real good awareness. You know. The first thing

19
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:53,320
Speaker 1: you see is he can catch the ball. You know,

20
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 1: I certainly had a couple of runs yesterday that looked

21
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:59,640
Speaker 1: looked really good. You know, nobody was tackling so Um.

22
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 1: But the other thing that you see when you work

23
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:06,160
Speaker 1: with him is his awareness is spatial awareness, UM, his

24
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 1: ability to kind of pick out who he has in

25
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:12,280
Speaker 1: past protection. We purposely try to have some blitz drills

26
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:15,480
Speaker 1: early to try to challenge the running backs. UM. And

27
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:17,319
Speaker 1: I felt like he did a good job with that.

28
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:20,600
Speaker 1: Is that the hardest thing you feel like for running

29
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:22,760
Speaker 1: back in the transition, at least what you're going to

30
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 1: be asking him to do. I think yeah, I think so.

31
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 1: I think so when when you talk about probably the

32
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:33,760
Speaker 1: difference between college ball and pro ball, you know, you

33
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 1: throw the ball quite a bit and you really depend

34
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 1: on blitzer is getting picked up. And you know, I

35
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 1: think that's the thing that we're interested in seeing when

36
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:46,479
Speaker 1: we get a running back. And he did a good

37
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 1: job with that. Do you think that's a result of

38
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 1: the passing game the way it is now? Backs are

39
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 1: more apt to being able to pick up the block better.

40
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 1: Depends on the system they're coming from. There's some there's

41
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 1: some teams obviously that play more of a prose style

42
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 1: UH pro style type protections. UM. But you know, it's

43
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 1: a matter of you know, the background of the player

44
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 1: comes with but and that's why in some cases it

45
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:15,680
Speaker 1: wasn't the case with Barkley but in some cases you've

46
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 1: got to kind of project whether he's going to be

47
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 1: able to do it, because he wasn't asked to do it,

48
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 1: but we were able to see enough to know he

49
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 1: could things that you threw at higher speed it looked

50
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 1: like throwing stuff at him. No, I thought he did

51
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:32,960
Speaker 1: a really really good job. And um, you can tell

52
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 1: by the way he handles his business that he's going

53
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:39,679
Speaker 1: to be able to pick everything up very quickly, very smart. Um,

54
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 1: he's in the building early, he was here late. You know,

55
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 1: he's got he understands how to study, so to speak.

56
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 1: And when he's on the field here you know when

57
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 1: you're when you're coaching him, and a lot of times

58
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 1: in coaching it's kind of like a quick drive by

59
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 1: you want to make a point and keep moving. He's

60
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 1: able to kind of take it in and run with it. So, um,

61
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:00,120
Speaker 1: I thought it was a good first day, you know,

62
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 1: and then we'll see how he does today. In them all,

63
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:04,639
Speaker 1: how do you do your quarterback position as a whole?

64
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 1: Where you standing as an organization you're in what do

65
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 1: we in mid May with with where Kyle kind of

66
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:12,960
Speaker 1: fits in the mix of Davis and you, Well, he's

67
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 1: here competing with all of them. And again I've made,

68
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 1: you know, a lot of comments already with regard to

69
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 1: the health of the quarterback room. Do you want really

70
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 1: good players in there trying to get better each day

71
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 1: and then helping one another get better? And I think

72
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 1: seeing the way he functioned in day one, um, he's

73
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:34,640
Speaker 1: going to really add to that room. Behind Sterling and O'Dell,

74
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 1: you have a lot of really young, maybe unproven receivers,

75
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 1: not some here, some at the MIDI camp last week.

76
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 1: How do you feel about the group behind those two guys. Well,

77
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 1: I think they're doing a good job. I think, you know,

78
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 1: it's a little bit easier to catch the ball versus

79
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 1: their So, you know, as we'll start to be able

80
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 1: to evaluate the receivers as a whole, once we get

81
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 1: really what as competitive as we can be with the O. T. A.

82
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 1: S and so, I think that'll start to separate, you know,

83
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:04,840
Speaker 1: kind of what we think of the white outs at

84
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 1: that point. He can kind of play a lot of

85
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 1: different spots. Yeah, I mean, Evan's a tight end and

86
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 1: we'll use them as such. But you know, our our

87
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 1: game says that you can detach them and extend them

88
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 1: like a white out, So we're gonna try to use

89
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 1: them in that way if we can as well. There's

90
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:27,279
Speaker 1: a number three receiver on this roster right now. I

91
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 1: don't know, Um, we'll just have to find out as

92
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:31,840
Speaker 1: we go, but we you know, we've added some guys

93
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 1: to the mix that we're you know, you guys that

94
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 1: you guys tell me who's won two and three or

95
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 1: four and five and six and whatever. But you know,

96
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 1: Cody Lattimer's here, We've got some young guy, you know,

97
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 1: I think of Travis Rudolph has has done a good job.

98
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 1: So you know, I think there's guys on a roster

99
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 1: that well, we're that we're going to develop a trust

100
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 1: and we'll put them out there and and you know,

101
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 1: we expect them to produce what I'll come back to

102
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:05,679
Speaker 1: you being opportunity taking anybody at that position in the draft.

103
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 1: Well just Grandly and Aaron Davis Chester. Uh, you know,

104
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 1: it was hard to tell, but I think they competed well. Um,

105
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,360
Speaker 1: you know, there's gonna be competition at all spots, and

106
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 1: you know, certainly we're gonna depend on those those younger

107
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 1: players to really get in the mix and try to

108
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 1: make the team. But they did a good job in

109
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:25,039
Speaker 1: their first day. I think that could be said about

110
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 1: really all the position groups. Um, you know. And then

111
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 1: after today, you know, another install on both offense and defense,

112
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:35,359
Speaker 1: a little bit more learning, you know, and then they

113
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 1: got to go back and review, and so we'll see

114
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:41,039
Speaker 1: how that all kicks in. And then second day, some

115
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,159
Speaker 1: of these guys probably hadn't been running as much as

116
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:45,919
Speaker 1: they did yesterday, so we'll see there's a little soreness.

117
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 1: And so as we go forward with all the positions,

118
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 1: will learn more. What had he been able to see

119
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:54,279
Speaker 1: from Lorenzo Carter so far? Yeah, you know, he uh,

120
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 1: you know, the terminology is different, but for the most part,

121
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 1: how we align and how he lined up as similar

122
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 1: to to what he did at Georgia. He's very long,

123
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 1: he's very athletic. You know. He did a good job

124
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:09,840
Speaker 1: in the coverage drills and the one on one stuff yesterday.

125
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:13,280
Speaker 1: And you can see he's kind of a bright guy

126
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 1: that I watched his coaches yesterday give him some coaching

127
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 1: points and and he was able to kind of, you know,

128
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 1: use that in his next couple of reps. So, um,

129
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 1: you know, certainly the arrows up there, expectations are hopes,

130
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:29,479
Speaker 1: for what he can he can do for you, Well,

131
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,040
Speaker 1: you know again, you know, like we talked about what

132
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 1: an edge player should be able to do, he's got

133
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 1: to be able to obviously to set the edge in

134
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 1: the run game. We expect him to be able to

135
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 1: drop into coverage at times, and then certainly the element

136
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 1: that he'll bring to us also his ability to pass rush,

137
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,360
Speaker 1: whether it's when we play five on the line or

138
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:52,039
Speaker 1: we get into a four man from Oh, certainly you

139
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:55,920
Speaker 1: were talking about watching these guys some really basic stuff

140
00:06:55,920 --> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 1: like yeah, why that's important? Well, you know, to your point,

141
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:06,839
Speaker 1: I you know, I don't know if we're teaching them that.

142
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 1: I think what we're reminding them is those are things

143
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 1: that you know, and they're important, you know, And I

144
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 1: think that's that's what matters. I think, you know, you

145
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 1: can't it's not like a buffet table. If you're going

146
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:20,560
Speaker 1: to be a professional, you can't pick one of these,

147
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 1: one of these, and one of these and then skip

148
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 1: all of these. I think it's important that they function

149
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 1: and live their life in a professional way. And I

150
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 1: think if they do that, um, then they don't have

151
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 1: to worry about what they're saying to the media. They

152
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 1: don't have to worry about things that come up in

153
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 1: their life. They just live a good life, live a

154
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 1: very productive life, and then it will translate to their

155
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 1: performance on the field, translate what they do when they're yeah,

156
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 1: well pleasing, thank you. We don't want to hear any

157
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 1: of that out here, you know, I mean to that point.

158
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 1: You know, I mentioned how this is man with a man.

159
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 1: You know, I get all that, and there's the physical

160
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 1: nature of this game and the reason they're playing it

161
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 1: is they appreciate and they look for it, you know,

162
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 1: but we all understand how it goes. You know. We

163
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 1: want to make sure that they're good citizens as well,

164
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 1: and to remind them most of these guys, and really

165
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 1: all of these guys are good citizens, but as part

166
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 1: of the teach them the right way at the beginning

167
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 1: is remind them that those things are important and those

168
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 1: are things that you know, you want to live your

169
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 1: life doing. Pat, I just wanted to ask you about

170
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 1: the Garrick Underson. Obviously when other guys coming here as

171
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 1: a try out, Um, he played that super back position

172
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:37,320
Speaker 1: in Northwestern I know, like versatility for you guys at time.

173
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:41,440
Speaker 1: Does that give him appeal at that position of what

174
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 1: you what you saw yesterday. I thought he had a

175
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 1: really good day number one. And then secondly, yeah, his

176
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 1: ability to a line on the line of scrimmage or

177
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 1: maybe in the backfield or moving around. You know, that

178
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 1: will help a young man make the team because there

179
00:08:57,240 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 1: is versatility. And until you become the starting tight end

180
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 1: and play on all three downs, you are technically a

181
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 1: role player. So if you're a good enough player to

182
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:08,199
Speaker 1: make our roster, then we'll find a role for you.

183
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 1: And so that's a long winded way of saying yes.

184
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 1: So going in to day two, I mean, he certainly

185
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 1: showed you enough yesterday that he may be in a

186
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:19,440
Speaker 1: conversation that you could be yeah, and we'll have to

187
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:21,680
Speaker 1: decide as we go. And I think what's important to

188
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:25,560
Speaker 1: remember too is this is in a tryout, and then

189
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 1: they do or don't make it, and it's over. You know.

190
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 1: I think the players need to understand they're here because

191
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:35,440
Speaker 1: we saw something that we really liked in them, and

192
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:38,559
Speaker 1: as we work with them, even though the ninety man

193
00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 1: roster might look a little bit different tomorrow, those guys

194
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:44,600
Speaker 1: are on the list of guys that we might consider

195
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 1: moving forward. So, um, you know, he may be one

196
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 1: of those guys just a little. Have you any conversation

197
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 1: with Eric Flowers since last we spoken? Yeah, we've we've

198
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:59,439
Speaker 1: We've been in contact with Eric, and you know it's

199
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 1: our understand meaning that he's in good shape. And again,

200
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 1: you know, I I I got nothing again. I can't

201
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 1: wait for him to be here, because you know I've

202
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:09,960
Speaker 1: mentioned it in the past, there were there were some

203
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,720
Speaker 1: things he did last year that we're really good and

204
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 1: you know, I look forward to him getting here at

205
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 1: some point and working with him, Landon said. Landon said

206
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:23,840
Speaker 1: this week that he thought upset about Solder. Yeah, well

207
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 1: that's not for Landon to talk about, you know, And

208
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:30,800
Speaker 1: I think that the important thing is, um, let's let's

209
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 1: let's let Eric talk for Eric when he when he

210
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:36,440
Speaker 1: gets here, and we'll worry about that later. But you know, really,

211
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:39,080
Speaker 1: I don't think it's I don't think our players should

212
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 1: be talking about another player's situation. Is there an expectation,

213
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 1: last one? Really the last one. Don't an expectation when

214
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:48,200
Speaker 1: Erica be here? Will he be here for the for

215
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:50,959
Speaker 1: the Niam I'm sorry? Is there an expectation that he

216
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:53,319
Speaker 1: will be here for the Yeah, we'll see when when

217
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 1: he gets here, we'll we'll talk about that, but but

218
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:59,000
Speaker 1: we got there's there's nothing. You know, we're communicating with him.

219
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 1: There's been time when O'Dell hasn't been here and we've

220
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:04,439
Speaker 1: communicated with him. So you know, we're looking forward to

221
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:07,160
Speaker 1: him being here, and you know, we feel like we're

222
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:09,679
Speaker 1: a better team with him here than without using
