1 00:00:02,920 --> 00:00:06,280 Speaker 1: Welcome into the Ravens Presspass podcast. It is Tuesday, July thirtieth. 2 00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:09,080 Speaker 1: The Raves continued training camp today and after practice we 3 00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:11,800 Speaker 1: had a chance to hear from quarterbacks coach T Martin. 4 00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:17,880 Speaker 2: To see Lamar back and healthy. 5 00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:21,040 Speaker 3: I was good just having his presence in the meetings, 6 00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:23,599 Speaker 3: in the meeting room and on the field. You know, 7 00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:29,320 Speaker 3: he brings a certain energy, competitiveness and overall talent and 8 00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:30,720 Speaker 3: the things that we've been doing. You know, it was 9 00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:33,520 Speaker 3: good just get him back out. See the retention because 10 00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:35,560 Speaker 3: I knew once he came back we could start getting 11 00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:38,800 Speaker 3: some consistency in terms of his growth and reps and 12 00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:41,440 Speaker 3: things of that nature that we need in training camp. 13 00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:42,400 Speaker 3: But it's been great. 14 00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:45,200 Speaker 4: See there's been obviously a lot of offseason talk about 15 00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:47,600 Speaker 4: all the priest snap adjustments and more of that going 16 00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:48,920 Speaker 4: on Lamar's place this year. 17 00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:50,440 Speaker 5: How have you seen him improve? 18 00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:52,400 Speaker 4: What have you seen on the field in that regard? 19 00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:54,279 Speaker 3: Well, it's just what we do at this point. You know. 20 00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:56,880 Speaker 3: Last year it was the conversation about it in terms 21 00:00:56,920 --> 00:01:00,520 Speaker 3: of it being new, new system, new responsibility, these things 22 00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:02,680 Speaker 3: of that nature. It's just how we play the game. Now. 23 00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:05,160 Speaker 3: It's kind of just a part of who he is 24 00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:07,720 Speaker 3: and how he talks and how he sees the game 25 00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:11,000 Speaker 3: from that perspective. And so, uh, second year in the system, 26 00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:14,480 Speaker 3: we've added some things and we've trimmed the fat a 27 00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:17,000 Speaker 3: little bit and some things that we tried tinkered with 28 00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:20,600 Speaker 3: but then major in and so we're streamlinings for for 29 00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:23,200 Speaker 3: him and and for our offense in general. And so 30 00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:25,240 Speaker 3: second year in it, he's doing a heck of a 31 00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:27,679 Speaker 3: job of it. Picked off, picked up where he left off, 32 00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:28,760 Speaker 3: and it's been looking good. 33 00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:32,640 Speaker 6: He talked yesterday about how he likes the fact that 34 00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:34,960 Speaker 6: the defense is in there getting a little bit and 35 00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,759 Speaker 6: talking trash all over. And you you played the position, 36 00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:40,759 Speaker 6: I mean, did you like that in the summer, that's 37 00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:43,679 Speaker 6: having that sense of competitiveness in the building, And do 38 00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:44,520 Speaker 6: you like seeing it now? 39 00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:45,280 Speaker 7: Yeah? 40 00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:46,920 Speaker 3: I was a little bit like Lamar. I like to 41 00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:49,400 Speaker 3: talk a little trash, you know, because you had a 42 00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:51,560 Speaker 3: ball in your hand and you can do something about it, right, 43 00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:54,000 Speaker 3: And so he's like that, he's got he's been here, 44 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,520 Speaker 3: it's seven year seven and a lot of teammates he's 45 00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:58,880 Speaker 3: played with for a while. You know, sometimes you don't 46 00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:00,800 Speaker 3: know if they're serious or not, but they are all 47 00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:02,640 Speaker 3: teammates and they love each other at the end. So 48 00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:04,680 Speaker 3: I like that kind of get the juices flowing a 49 00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 3: little bit doing practice. 50 00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:08,359 Speaker 8: See as good as lamar as I know, he strives 51 00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:12,240 Speaker 8: to be even better. Is there something with his game 52 00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:14,880 Speaker 8: individually that you guys are focusing on in terms. 53 00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:17,520 Speaker 3: Something in the Yeah, we like to address everything. You know, 54 00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:19,880 Speaker 3: it's not it's not a rep that goes by that 55 00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:23,720 Speaker 3: there aren't teachable moments, and there aren't questions to be 56 00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:26,720 Speaker 3: asked and answers to to find and and and answer 57 00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:28,959 Speaker 3: the questions. And and that's how he sees the game, 58 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,280 Speaker 3: whether it's the run game, whether it's the passing game. 59 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:34,840 Speaker 3: We watch individual drills, we watch pretty much everything that 60 00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:36,639 Speaker 3: we put on tape. We watch it and we learn 61 00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:39,239 Speaker 3: from it. And Uh, that's just the humbleness in him 62 00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:42,240 Speaker 3: and him understanding that, Uh he's trying to get somewhere 63 00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:44,400 Speaker 3: as a talent. You know, you're trying to get somewhere 64 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:46,440 Speaker 3: as a teammate. You're trying to get somewhere as a quarterback. 65 00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:49,200 Speaker 3: And so I respect that. And every day we go 66 00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:51,079 Speaker 3: to work team. 67 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:53,920 Speaker 9: The Todds and say and talked about, you know, trying 68 00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:57,840 Speaker 9: to get more explosures plays and all from a quarterback perspectives, 69 00:02:57,840 --> 00:02:59,080 Speaker 9: like what can you do with jamar? 70 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:02,160 Speaker 3: The kind of that part, Yeah, a lot of that 71 00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:05,840 Speaker 3: is uh by game planning and play design. You know, 72 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:09,880 Speaker 3: where you're trying to create and manufacture uh exposed to plays. 73 00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:11,960 Speaker 3: The other parts of it in terms of a Lamar 74 00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:15,920 Speaker 3: extending plays or UH receivers making plays on the ball 75 00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:19,400 Speaker 3: when his man the man getting open him making accurate throws. 76 00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,320 Speaker 3: All that stuff is comes together in terms of the 77 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:24,720 Speaker 3: end result in terms of making exposed to plays. But 78 00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:27,640 Speaker 3: you don't, you don't. It's it's like a hitter in baseball. 79 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:29,679 Speaker 3: You don't step into the plate and step into the 80 00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:31,440 Speaker 3: box saying I'm gonna hit the horme run every time. 81 00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:33,799 Speaker 3: You know, you just wanna put the battle on the ball, 82 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:36,760 Speaker 3: and sometimes it is a home run. And so uh 83 00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:38,440 Speaker 3: we we we get the ball in our hands and 84 00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:40,320 Speaker 3: we're gonna play the system. We're gonna play the play 85 00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:42,840 Speaker 3: out and if the end result isn't exposed to play, 86 00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:45,600 Speaker 3: that's what we're gonna achieve. And then there are times 87 00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:49,560 Speaker 3: two minute clock running, you're down by seven, blah blah blah, 88 00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:52,120 Speaker 3: where you may be a little bit more aggressive in 89 00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:55,200 Speaker 3: your approach. But uh, that's kind of how we see it. Uh, 90 00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:57,680 Speaker 3: for all you baseball fans here see. 91 00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:01,680 Speaker 4: Often oftentimes can have seen deep shots taken. It seems 92 00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:04,040 Speaker 4: like when they miss, it's often too deep. You know 93 00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:06,560 Speaker 4: that Lamar over there's a little bit as a coach, 94 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:08,839 Speaker 4: how do you coach him on that? Is that him 95 00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:11,360 Speaker 4: trying to be a little too perfect and put it 96 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:11,920 Speaker 4: in a bucket? 97 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:13,640 Speaker 5: Or what do you say to him move. 98 00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 3: Regards that, I don't say anything. You got you gotta 99 00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:17,839 Speaker 3: let it rip. I mean, you can't get into the 100 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:21,599 Speaker 3: head of the thrower. You just can't. You know, it's 101 00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,159 Speaker 3: you know, you just can't. You know, you just keep 102 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:27,320 Speaker 3: getting reps with those people. And so many things are 103 00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:29,880 Speaker 3: variables there. Did he get moved off his spot in 104 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 3: the pocket? 105 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:31,080 Speaker 4: You know? 106 00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:32,359 Speaker 3: Was it a clean release? 107 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:33,200 Speaker 10: Uh? 108 00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:35,919 Speaker 3: The position of the dB, so on and so forth. 109 00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:38,839 Speaker 3: So you don't make any excuses. You just go at 110 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,680 Speaker 3: it again. Just keep trying until you get perfection. And 111 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,120 Speaker 3: that's what we're all trying to reach his perfection here 112 00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:46,680 Speaker 3: and that's what we're doing. That's what training camps is about, 113 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,280 Speaker 3: That's what the whole season. You never you never peak, 114 00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:51,719 Speaker 3: you know, until your last rep of that season. So 115 00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:53,280 Speaker 3: but we're always chasing that. 116 00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:56,440 Speaker 2: Specifically, like with regard to Batement on some of those 117 00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:57,600 Speaker 2: long throws, because if he. 118 00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,680 Speaker 11: Was overthrown in at certain times, whereas if compared them 119 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 11: to say Obj, you seem like Lamar almost had a 120 00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:06,159 Speaker 11: respect for Obj and expectation that OBJ. 121 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:09,040 Speaker 5: Would go up and get them all. And that's the situation. 122 00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:11,719 Speaker 2: Do you feel like that's anything you can have a 123 00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:14,279 Speaker 2: discussion abound or that that Lamartine. 124 00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:14,919 Speaker 6: Fent through if it's a trust. 125 00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:16,680 Speaker 3: But we looked at all of them. We looked at 126 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,560 Speaker 3: how were we missing until your point in terms of 127 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:21,919 Speaker 3: missing long what was it? You know, there's a lot 128 00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:24,400 Speaker 3: of different things that caused that. So we addressed that, 129 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:26,440 Speaker 3: We worked on it doing off season, Gonna continue to 130 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 3: work on the here, uh, but not in specific to 131 00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:32,440 Speaker 3: the person, you know, because it's just it doesn't always 132 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:35,560 Speaker 3: in our minds come down to you're missing a certain guy. 133 00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:38,120 Speaker 3: You know, you're just trying to address to throw itself. 134 00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:41,719 Speaker 3: You know, everybody's different. You know, every receiver gets a 135 00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:45,560 Speaker 3: certain amount of separation different They all have different skill 136 00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:48,640 Speaker 3: sets in terms of making players on the ball, jumping ability, 137 00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:51,400 Speaker 3: hand streight, so on and so forth, and you gotta 138 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:53,839 Speaker 3: know who you're throwing to and who can make certain 139 00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:56,000 Speaker 3: type players on the ball, and that affects how you 140 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:57,920 Speaker 3: throw the ball, how you place the ball, how much 141 00:05:58,000 --> 00:05:59,640 Speaker 3: air you put on the ball, so on and so forth. 142 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,680 Speaker 3: So there's a lot involved in that. But no, we 143 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:04,880 Speaker 3: don't just say, hey, when you throw to this guy 144 00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:06,960 Speaker 3: is different than that guy. You don't have time to 145 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,760 Speaker 3: do that, you know, when you're getting rush by d 146 00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:13,279 Speaker 3: line and it's trying to get the ball out those lines, 147 00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:14,839 Speaker 3: you know, yep. 148 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:18,440 Speaker 5: I'm sorry along those lines with the deep shots, I 149 00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:21,400 Speaker 5: don't know, just to think of a quarterback like Russell Wilson. 150 00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:23,400 Speaker 5: You know, do you think of Russell Wilson deep shot? 151 00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:27,160 Speaker 5: It's it's kind of a moon ball, thinks. How much 152 00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:29,920 Speaker 5: does trajectory matter of whom when you're talking about like 153 00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:34,039 Speaker 5: those thirty forty fifty yards passes through the air, And 154 00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:36,400 Speaker 5: then it's what is the kind of conversation with them? 155 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:40,280 Speaker 5: More about maybe how you tinker your actual emotion trajectory 156 00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:44,120 Speaker 5: to be accurate and also not compromise who you are 157 00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:44,800 Speaker 5: as a pastor. 158 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:49,200 Speaker 3: It's all based on separation and safety location. You know, 159 00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:52,000 Speaker 3: you have a safety that's very close to playing, making 160 00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:53,840 Speaker 3: them player on the past, you don't have much air 161 00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:56,240 Speaker 3: on it, you know, if it's if it's a clean release, 162 00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:58,600 Speaker 3: safety is on the other half, so he's not on 163 00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:01,559 Speaker 3: that side of the field. You may have more time 164 00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:03,880 Speaker 3: to put more air on the ball. But at the 165 00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:06,760 Speaker 3: end of the day, it's just about ball placement, timing, 166 00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:10,680 Speaker 3: separation from the receiver. It's a lot combined in that, 167 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:14,320 Speaker 3: and that's just always chasing. It's it's no one thing 168 00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:16,880 Speaker 3: that you can say. It's no one way to throw 169 00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:17,520 Speaker 3: a deep ball. 170 00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:17,800 Speaker 12: You know. 171 00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:20,240 Speaker 3: I through a lot of them myself, and all of 172 00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:22,720 Speaker 3: them were different. All of them, you know, are based 173 00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:25,560 Speaker 3: on the things I just mentioned, and you just want 174 00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:27,200 Speaker 3: to keep working to where you can get as many 175 00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:30,040 Speaker 3: of those variables out of the way as you can 176 00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:32,400 Speaker 3: to where you can diagnose it, all right, And that's 177 00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:34,360 Speaker 3: what training camp in the preseason is all about. 178 00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:38,880 Speaker 4: Talked about how the vision for the best quarterback effort. 179 00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:41,560 Speaker 4: I know that's not something you probably talk about every game, 180 00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:46,520 Speaker 4: but okay, all right, okay, what are what are the 181 00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:49,760 Speaker 4: conversations like in the in the quarterback groove into that regard. 182 00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:52,320 Speaker 3: Man from day one? Since I ever saw him play 183 00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:55,280 Speaker 3: on TV and college. You know, I thought that about 184 00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:58,840 Speaker 3: him and have an opportunity to coach him, you know, 185 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:02,120 Speaker 3: you know, I'm a father. And it's like, when you 186 00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:04,680 Speaker 3: see something there young people, you tell them and when 187 00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:07,120 Speaker 3: you see greatness, you tell them you own it. You 188 00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:09,240 Speaker 3: want them to believe in themselves. You believe in them. 189 00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:10,920 Speaker 3: You want them to know that you believe in them. 190 00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:15,160 Speaker 3: And and that's that's what we're working for. And so no, 191 00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:17,440 Speaker 3: we don't shy away from from that statement. We don't 192 00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:21,120 Speaker 3: shy away from those type of expectations because if you're 193 00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:22,840 Speaker 3: not trying to be the best, and what are you 194 00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:23,400 Speaker 3: trying to be? 195 00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:24,320 Speaker 7: You know? 196 00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:27,320 Speaker 3: And so last year about once a week we talk 197 00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:29,920 Speaker 3: about championship quarterbacks. It's the thing that we kind of 198 00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:33,280 Speaker 3: do once a week, and we talked about the characteristics 199 00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:36,280 Speaker 3: of 'em and we talk about what is important that 200 00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:39,480 Speaker 3: week going into that game. And every week there's an 201 00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:42,280 Speaker 3: element of it about him being the greatest and about 202 00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:44,760 Speaker 3: him showing up and showing out like we like to 203 00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:47,440 Speaker 3: say in the quarterback room. And so but no, I 204 00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:50,040 Speaker 3: see that in him. I believe that truly as his 205 00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:52,360 Speaker 3: coach and before I was his coach as a fan 206 00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:54,959 Speaker 3: of his and after I'm not his coach again, back 207 00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,839 Speaker 3: of fan again. So uh, that's how I think about Lamar. 208 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:01,520 Speaker 7: We Els. 209 00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:12,360 Speaker 1: Heard from offensive coordinator Todd Munkett year, have from. 210 00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:13,719 Speaker 12: Them, and are you comfortable this year? 211 00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:15,400 Speaker 7: Sure? I mean it's. 212 00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:19,400 Speaker 13: Every year, everybody, every year that we're together as a 213 00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:22,640 Speaker 13: staff and the players, you're going to be more comfortable. 214 00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:23,040 Speaker 7: You just are. 215 00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:28,200 Speaker 13: The terminology is the same, systems, the same improved like 216 00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:30,240 Speaker 13: every year, you're going to work on it. So there 217 00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:31,800 Speaker 13: ought to be a comfort level of that. 218 00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:33,480 Speaker 7: And we're not. 219 00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:38,240 Speaker 13: I don't want to say this, you're not building a 220 00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:40,960 Speaker 13: house like we built it last year. Now, it's like 221 00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:43,680 Speaker 13: you've moved in and you're just fixing a few rooms, 222 00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:45,480 Speaker 13: if that makes sense. Like it's a lot easier when 223 00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:47,720 Speaker 13: you're fixing a few rooms and you're building the whole house. 224 00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:51,920 Speaker 13: Easy to build on that way. 225 00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:51,920 Speaker 2: Your best tight ends. 226 00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:55,839 Speaker 13: Andrew's likely how peys are trying to do their work 227 00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:58,720 Speaker 13: of guys we feel at the same time, so would 228 00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:00,640 Speaker 13: love to. I mean, obviously trying to get your best 229 00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:02,400 Speaker 13: playmakers on the field. And there are two of them. 230 00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:05,520 Speaker 13: You know, those two guys are unique weapons. So we 231 00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:07,319 Speaker 13: got to do a great job being creative getting them 232 00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:11,520 Speaker 13: on the field and finding a way to utilize because 233 00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:14,440 Speaker 13: their skill sets are similar, but they're different. You know, 234 00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:17,040 Speaker 13: they're still built a little bit different. But we love 235 00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:19,760 Speaker 13: both of them and that showed last year, you know, 236 00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:23,080 Speaker 13: when Mark went down, they came on, and having them 237 00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:28,920 Speaker 13: both together will be great aggressively. 238 00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:30,400 Speaker 7: The defense is played during the camp. 239 00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:32,280 Speaker 6: Do you find it useful for you guys to get 240 00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:34,199 Speaker 6: reps against style? 241 00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:37,800 Speaker 13: Oh yeah, sure, No, it's it was great last year 242 00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:40,600 Speaker 13: and it is this year. One, we do a great 243 00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:44,360 Speaker 13: job defensively schematically. Two is they do a great job 244 00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:46,800 Speaker 13: of challenging all of your rules and then they do 245 00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:50,199 Speaker 13: it with tremendous personnel. That makes it very very difficult, 246 00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:53,200 Speaker 13: but good for us in terms of development, right especially 247 00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:56,000 Speaker 13: upfront where you're trying to see, you know, who's going 248 00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:58,600 Speaker 13: to merge in certain spots for us. So it's been great, 249 00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:02,440 Speaker 13: you know, at times it's been difficult, been frustrating, but 250 00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:04,319 Speaker 13: it's great. I mean, it's it's something you want to 251 00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:06,400 Speaker 13: be able to go against of every day. 252 00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:08,560 Speaker 10: Last year, one. 253 00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:10,240 Speaker 2: Hundred and ten organs as I can win up for 254 00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:11,719 Speaker 2: the tight ends one ninety. 255 00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:12,959 Speaker 5: Five year or why you weren't here for that. 256 00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:16,560 Speaker 14: But can you convince this titan who easily the less 257 00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:17,040 Speaker 14: is more? 258 00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:20,400 Speaker 2: And how do you account for the enormous uptake and 259 00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:22,400 Speaker 2: per target productive or in any. 260 00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:27,079 Speaker 13: That some of that is because of the uptick we 261 00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:30,319 Speaker 13: had at receiver. I think that's going to be a 262 00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:32,000 Speaker 13: part of it. When you're better at receiver, right, the 263 00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:38,000 Speaker 13: targets go somewhere. That's one part of it. The other 264 00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:42,120 Speaker 13: part is late in games, when you're winning, you're running 265 00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:44,720 Speaker 13: the football right and you're not throwing it nearly as much, 266 00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:47,560 Speaker 13: so some of those come into play. But I and 267 00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:50,080 Speaker 13: at times I really don't control where the ball goes. 268 00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:54,079 Speaker 13: Times I do, but a lot of times the defense 269 00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:57,840 Speaker 13: controls that. Are personnel control it and who we're playing. 270 00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:01,000 Speaker 13: But to say that I'm throwing the tight ends, that's 271 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:03,240 Speaker 13: not what you're insinuating. We're gonna want to throw it 272 00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:07,880 Speaker 13: to them. But there's reasons why that occurs. The other 273 00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:10,800 Speaker 13: was there was a certain time of the year where 274 00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:14,120 Speaker 13: we didn't have both right where now you're only there's 275 00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:17,040 Speaker 13: one of them. So that's a part of it. We 276 00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:19,520 Speaker 13: love those guys, want them every opportunity. You know, Mark, 277 00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:21,720 Speaker 13: last year probably didn't have as many targets as he wanted, 278 00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:22,760 Speaker 13: but he had touchdowns. 279 00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:24,439 Speaker 7: Right, we got them the ball in the red zone, 280 00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:24,880 Speaker 7: which help. 281 00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:27,720 Speaker 13: So obviously finding the way to get him the ball 282 00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:30,000 Speaker 13: and Zay the ball more is a huge part of 283 00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:32,360 Speaker 13: what we'll obviously that we need to moving forward. 284 00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:35,120 Speaker 8: Ah John talked about this offense is involved in the 285 00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:37,560 Speaker 8: year two here with you. Is there an element of 286 00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:41,360 Speaker 8: this offense that you are you know, emphasizing more this 287 00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:43,800 Speaker 8: year or that you'd like to see them really build 288 00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:45,000 Speaker 8: upon from last year. 289 00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:47,520 Speaker 13: Well, there's a lot to build on and there's a 290 00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:51,840 Speaker 13: lot to get better at a lot of things that 291 00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:54,160 Speaker 13: we worked on the off season, Like any off season 292 00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:56,960 Speaker 13: is like how do we stream like the streamline this, 293 00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:02,440 Speaker 13: how do we make this to where we feel like 294 00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:06,160 Speaker 13: we have the answers you know, moving forward collectively and 295 00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:08,520 Speaker 13: that the players know that. That's probably as much as 296 00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:11,800 Speaker 13: anything is. All right, you're in a meeting, Okay, we're 297 00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:14,560 Speaker 13: doing X y Z Y, and that they can say 298 00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:17,320 Speaker 13: it back right, say that's exactly why we're doing X 299 00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:22,480 Speaker 13: Y Z. That's critically important to anticipate calls, anticipate what 300 00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:24,560 Speaker 13: we're gonna do against a certain defense in those things. 301 00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:25,480 Speaker 7: But it's been great. 302 00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:27,600 Speaker 13: The off season was great, and our guys being here 303 00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:29,080 Speaker 13: in this offseason, it's been a great start. 304 00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:33,880 Speaker 5: Maybe specifically, you know, you guys dominant personal grouping last 305 00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:37,560 Speaker 5: year was eleven. It wasn't as efficient as you guys 306 00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:39,560 Speaker 5: were on the group reach. Maybe what did you kind 307 00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:42,679 Speaker 5: of learn from how you guys did with eleven last year? 308 00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:45,200 Speaker 5: And you know, maybe what are kind of something to takeaways. 309 00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:45,319 Speaker 7: For this year? 310 00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:48,280 Speaker 13: Yeah, it's you look back and you see, okay, in 311 00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:51,199 Speaker 13: our bigger personnel groups, what what does that allow us 312 00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:55,240 Speaker 13: to do? Sometimes run the ball more efficiently, not always, 313 00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:57,880 Speaker 13: but also lends itself to explosive plays. You're gonna get 314 00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:00,320 Speaker 13: some of that, especially if you put pad them field 315 00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:02,600 Speaker 13: or if you get bigger that way. And we've got 316 00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:07,040 Speaker 13: tremendous receiving targets at tight end, which does add to 317 00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:07,520 Speaker 13: that group. 318 00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:09,760 Speaker 7: But we certainly do have to. 319 00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:13,640 Speaker 13: Become more proficient throwing the football out of zebra or 320 00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:14,440 Speaker 13: eleven personnel. 321 00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:15,400 Speaker 7: Gotcha? 322 00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:19,120 Speaker 13: This is that competition for their starting jobs and offensive 323 00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:24,520 Speaker 13: line because anybody starts separating themselves. 324 00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:23,880 Speaker 7: I wouldn't say yet. 325 00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:28,960 Speaker 13: I think some guys have stepped forward still too early 326 00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:31,760 Speaker 13: in camp to say that, but I like our group. 327 00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:34,160 Speaker 7: That's why you draft. 328 00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:36,840 Speaker 13: I said that, that's why you draft, and that's why 329 00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:40,520 Speaker 13: you develop, you know, I mean there is a salary cap, 330 00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:43,440 Speaker 13: there is issues you're going to have in terms of 331 00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:45,840 Speaker 13: your players. So it's like, that's why you do a 332 00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:49,600 Speaker 13: great job as an organization does of drafting players and 333 00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:53,680 Speaker 13: developing them.

Do you feel 341 00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:10,960 Speaker 6: like you need a certain number of weeks to have 342 00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:13,440 Speaker 6: that sort of chemistry building between those five. 343 00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:14,120 Speaker 7: Guys or is it? 344 00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:15,480 Speaker 12: Is it fluid? 345 00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:19,160 Speaker 7: How do you okay? First off, would you prefer to 346 00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:20,480 Speaker 7: already have it set? Of course? 347 00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:23,920 Speaker 13: Would you prefer to have every position set? Yes, there 348 00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:26,800 Speaker 13: is no no assigned data when we have to have it, 349 00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:28,920 Speaker 13: If that makes sense, I mean, we prefer that it's 350 00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:31,760 Speaker 13: the same eleven every position we're going to play. These 351 00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:34,960 Speaker 13: guys right, that way we build that connuity. But it's 352 00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:37,920 Speaker 13: our job as coaches to utilize the personnel were we 353 00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:41,640 Speaker 13: have and keep finding who that may who may emerge, 354 00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:44,000 Speaker 13: and when that happens, then we will end up in 355 00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:46,040 Speaker 13: a position to where we can say, all right, here's 356 00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:48,880 Speaker 13: our left guard. Okay, here's our right guard, here's our 357 00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:49,480 Speaker 13: right tackle. 358 00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:51,440 Speaker 7: All of that Derick. 359 00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:52,480 Speaker 15: Henry in your offense? 360 00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:56,080 Speaker 14: How much does that give you the creative time of 361 00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:58,200 Speaker 14: the whiteboard to think, Okay, what can we do now 362 00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:00,000 Speaker 14: that we haven't that we didn't maybe do it the past. 363 00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:05,000 Speaker 7: Yeah, Well, first of all, we're excited to's hack to 364 00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:05,440 Speaker 7: have Derek. 365 00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:10,400 Speaker 13: Okay, there are things that he does and his skill 366 00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:14,680 Speaker 13: set that allows you to not maybe from a creative standpoint, 367 00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:17,920 Speaker 13: but maybe a little bit differently maybe certain ways that 368 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:21,240 Speaker 13: you want to run the football, utilize his skill set, 369 00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:25,520 Speaker 13: utilize his speed and maybe getting him on the perimeter, 370 00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:27,720 Speaker 13: you know, where he can really get that speed and 371 00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:28,760 Speaker 13: get running downhill. 372 00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:35,480 Speaker 7: So that's exciting, that really is so those lines. 373 00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:38,720 Speaker 16: Derrick Henry, He's primarily used as a running back that 374 00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:41,960 Speaker 16: runs out of under center formations. You use a versatility 375 00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:46,400 Speaker 16: of multiple options in shotgun. How much have you discovered 376 00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:48,280 Speaker 16: from his abilities to be able to run out of 377 00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:52,120 Speaker 16: that formation and what's kind of been the creative ideas there, 378 00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:53,400 Speaker 16: how's that flowing? 379 00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:54,840 Speaker 7: Well? 380 00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:59,400 Speaker 13: Early on, we've been doing we have been doing what 381 00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:03,560 Speaker 13: we do in installing and rotating the running backs so 382 00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:04,359 Speaker 13: we can see it. 383 00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:07,639 Speaker 7: What we saw on tape, what he's. 384 00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:12,600 Speaker 13: Done in the past is a reflection of what we anticipate, 385 00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:14,480 Speaker 13: but we'd like to see it right. Let's see it 386 00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:17,000 Speaker 13: play out from a receiving end, from a running end 387 00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:20,040 Speaker 13: type of run schemes. So we're just in the process 388 00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:22,960 Speaker 13: of seeing it all develop and talking to him what 389 00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:25,200 Speaker 13: he likes, you know, and where we go as an offense. 390 00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:29,160 Speaker 2: A sense yet with Derek how good he is in 391 00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:31,840 Speaker 2: the mesh, I know probably did not run nearly as 392 00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:35,720 Speaker 2: much as you would here in Tennessee. But for late 393 00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:38,600 Speaker 2: polls from Lamar that've been very efective obviously or his 394 00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:39,800 Speaker 2: career have gad a sense for. 395 00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:42,520 Speaker 13: That yet do not have not seen that enough? It 396 00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:45,639 Speaker 13: hasn't hasn't come up nearly enough. I don't anticipate it 397 00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:49,840 Speaker 13: being a problem with reps usually isn't a problem as 398 00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:53,280 Speaker 13: long as you have put in the time to make 399 00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:56,080 Speaker 13: sure that it can still be a weapon for you. Obviously, 400 00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:57,800 Speaker 13: Lamar is always a weapon for us. 401 00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:00,800 Speaker 5: With the speed that you guys have an offense, do 402 00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:04,480 Speaker 5: you have an expectations yet for maybe how your depassing 403 00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:07,520 Speaker 5: game could look and also how defensive will kind of 404 00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:08,359 Speaker 5: defense you guys? 405 00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:11,239 Speaker 13: Well, you're right, I mean we could certainly. We were 406 00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:16,160 Speaker 13: certainly efficient in a lot of ways last year. Certainly 407 00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:19,080 Speaker 13: we can be more explosive twenty yard plays down the field. 408 00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:20,679 Speaker 13: Some of that is we were winning games at the end, 409 00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:22,440 Speaker 13: but another is how do we get the ball pushed 410 00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:25,520 Speaker 13: down the field. Some of that's catch and run. I mean, 411 00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:28,040 Speaker 13: Jay is one of those guys, our tight ends of 412 00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:30,320 Speaker 13: those guys. We've got to get Bait more involved. We 413 00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:31,800 Speaker 13: got to be able to get the ball down the 414 00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:34,240 Speaker 13: field more to him and Zay all good points. We 415 00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:37,040 Speaker 13: do have to be able to be more explosive, and 416 00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:38,119 Speaker 13: we do have plenty of speed. 417 00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:40,240 Speaker 7: Now, we just got to be able to utilize it. 418 00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:42,479 Speaker 7: Scheme it so that we know. 419 00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:45,119 Speaker 8: It's been a big emphasis getting Rashan baby more involved 420 00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:47,320 Speaker 8: this year. Lamarms time and to start a camp. Baban 421 00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:49,679 Speaker 8: wasn't able to be there today. Is it tough to 422 00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:54,080 Speaker 8: kind of get that chemistry going. When it seems like 423 00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:56,040 Speaker 8: there aren't together a lot. 424 00:18:57,040 --> 00:18:59,800 Speaker 13: Well again, I'll revert back to the same in terms 425 00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:03,680 Speaker 13: of would you love them to be out there every 426 00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:07,560 Speaker 13: day of course, right and developing that, But I don't 427 00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:09,720 Speaker 13: know when that starter then to end is. But every 428 00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:11,760 Speaker 13: day they're they're together, we're going to get better, right, 429 00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:15,240 Speaker 13: They're going to continue to grow as a dual, right, 430 00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:17,240 Speaker 13: and you could see that when Rashad was out there 431 00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:20,880 Speaker 13: and Lamar's out there. I anticipate that to come pretty easily, 432 00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:23,600 Speaker 13: you know, pretty fluidly because they've been here together now 433 00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:27,040 Speaker 13: three years. You know now some things that Rashad couldn't 434 00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:29,679 Speaker 13: couldn't control, right, So we'll continue to build that and 435 00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:32,240 Speaker 13: grow with it. And I think up until last couple 436 00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:33,920 Speaker 13: of days, you know, Shad's had a really good camp, 437 00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:35,000 Speaker 13: really good offseason. 438 00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:40,760 Speaker 1: Next up is defensive coordinator Zach Orr. 439 00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:48,560 Speaker 10: Excitement about your promotion within the building and just immediate 440 00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:53,560 Speaker 10: coverage Joe as always be the first time play caller 441 00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:57,280 Speaker 10: and doing it up here in training came off season programs. 442 00:19:57,359 --> 00:19:59,880 Speaker 16: Just what's your comfortability level and things growing. 443 00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:02,200 Speaker 11: I'm getting comfortable every single day, like I said, Man 444 00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:04,280 Speaker 11: coach Harbord does a great job of putting us in 445 00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:06,840 Speaker 11: like real life game situations, So you have to think 446 00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:08,480 Speaker 11: on the fly, you have to be prepared, have to 447 00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:10,359 Speaker 11: have your call sheet ready, you have to think a 448 00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:13,479 Speaker 11: step ahead, and you know, combination of that and then 449 00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:16,480 Speaker 11: going against our offense, going against Monk and Lamar mark 450 00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:18,520 Speaker 11: Ze both Zays. I mean, I could name a lot 451 00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:21,159 Speaker 11: of people with our offense. Going against those guys make 452 00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:23,440 Speaker 11: it even that much more challenging. But it's preparing me 453 00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:25,480 Speaker 11: for the moment and I feel more comfortable every single 454 00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:28,320 Speaker 11: day with that. Another thing is like the coaching staff 455 00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:30,760 Speaker 11: that we have helps prepare me on defense. Man, Like 456 00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:33,280 Speaker 11: those guys are great coaches, great human So it's not 457 00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:35,440 Speaker 11: just me by myself. I'm leaning on those guys, and 458 00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:37,120 Speaker 11: those guys helped me out along the way. 459 00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:42,960 Speaker 7: Seventeen interception slash kids are in the players to high 460 00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:44,280 Speaker 7: level so quickly in best can. 461 00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:47,199 Speaker 11: I think it's just man the players taking ownership. Man, 462 00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:49,960 Speaker 11: I mean they they came in, locked in, ready to roll, 463 00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:52,240 Speaker 11: man to say God here for camp. And one of 464 00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:54,080 Speaker 11: the main things we talk about on defens is trying 465 00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:57,120 Speaker 11: to eliminate explosiveness. Explosive players from the offense and taking 466 00:20:57,160 --> 00:20:58,800 Speaker 11: the ball away. The ball is the most important thing 467 00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:00,639 Speaker 11: in the game of football. On our job as the 468 00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:02,560 Speaker 11: defense is to take it away and guys to take 469 00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:04,720 Speaker 11: your ownership of that, and they've really been focusing on 470 00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:07,200 Speaker 11: doing that. So it's been a pleasure seeing those guys 471 00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:09,640 Speaker 11: attack the ball and catch the football and come away 472 00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:10,480 Speaker 11: with some interceptions. 473 00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:14,479 Speaker 6: Zach Lamarin talked yesterday about how he feels like this 474 00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:17,320 Speaker 6: could be a vintage Raven's defense. I mean that, you know, 475 00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:19,360 Speaker 6: the talking, the hitting even in practice. 476 00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:20,680 Speaker 7: I mean, have you. 477 00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:23,560 Speaker 6: Liked that tone that's been set so far in Do 478 00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:25,639 Speaker 6: you ever have to ask individual guys to even develop 479 00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:26,960 Speaker 6: back a little bit in camp? 480 00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:28,920 Speaker 11: I mean, man, we got a lot of competitive guys 481 00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:30,960 Speaker 11: on both sides of the football. I mean, obviously I'm 482 00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:33,119 Speaker 11: with the defensive guys a lot more. Those guys are 483 00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:35,200 Speaker 11: real competitive. I mean, and it starts with our leaders 484 00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:37,800 Speaker 11: on defense. You know, we have a lot of those guys. 485 00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:40,440 Speaker 11: But nah, I don't. I mean, I do kind of 486 00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:41,879 Speaker 11: have to tell my tone down a little bit, But 487 00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:45,399 Speaker 11: I mean I like those guys being real competitive, but 488 00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:48,399 Speaker 11: we're taking care of each other, and Lamar and the offense, 489 00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:51,479 Speaker 11: they get those guys going, you know, by competing at 490 00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:53,320 Speaker 11: a high level and talking trash. So it's good man, 491 00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:55,440 Speaker 11: it's iron sharp and iron. We talked about the aut 492 00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:57,240 Speaker 11: of time and our offense is one of the best 493 00:21:57,240 --> 00:21:59,720 Speaker 11: offices in the league. We got the ran of MVP 494 00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:02,160 Speaker 11: at quarterbacks. So it's good work and it's a challenge 495 00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:04,359 Speaker 11: every single day, and I think both sides of the 496 00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:07,040 Speaker 11: ball look forward to the challenge that practice of competing against. 497 00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:11,080 Speaker 9: Each others has a speed and of talent to take 498 00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:12,480 Speaker 9: chances to make plays. 499 00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:14,040 Speaker 7: Uh what do you say them? 500 00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:15,400 Speaker 4: I guess being a good. 501 00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:19,920 Speaker 9: Balance between taking chances and not needing yourself on. 502 00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:22,439 Speaker 11: Oh man, Yeah, Nate, he's a heck of football player's 503 00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:24,560 Speaker 11: instinctive players, so you don't wanna take that away from him, 504 00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:26,520 Speaker 11: but you just continue, just try to tell him to 505 00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:29,000 Speaker 11: play within the system, which he does. Have great eyes, 506 00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:30,960 Speaker 11: play with great technique, which he's coming out here working 507 00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:33,359 Speaker 11: at every single day, and the players will come to 508 00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:36,080 Speaker 11: you like that. He has natural ability, so he's gonna 509 00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:37,920 Speaker 11: make his fair share of plays by just doing his job, 510 00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:40,320 Speaker 11: which which he's done out here so far. At camp. 511 00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:43,960 Speaker 12: It looks like Trent since to just enjoyed putting on 512 00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:47,919 Speaker 12: the pads. What have you seen out of the the 513 00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:49,920 Speaker 12: intensity of his play with ads coming on. 514 00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:52,200 Speaker 11: Man, Trent to intense guy, which we love. 515 00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:52,719 Speaker 7: We love it. 516 00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:54,560 Speaker 11: I mean, I think Isaiah likely told me the other 517 00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:56,879 Speaker 11: day he was like, Man, tell Trent to smile out 518 00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:58,800 Speaker 11: there on the field. I was like, hey, man, that's 519 00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:01,400 Speaker 11: how you roll. That's how he roll. But Trent, that's 520 00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:03,159 Speaker 11: why we loved him when he came out out of Clemson. 521 00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:04,919 Speaker 11: I mean, he's a he's a real physical player, and 522 00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:06,760 Speaker 11: it's great to see that. We knew that last year 523 00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:08,959 Speaker 11: he came in as a rookie being real physical, and 524 00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:11,680 Speaker 11: he's continued that and up that he's gotten bigger, stronger, 525 00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:14,480 Speaker 11: more explosive, which he's displaying, which we're happy with. 526 00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:17,080 Speaker 6: In what specific ways do you think, Travis Jones, what'll 527 00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:18,800 Speaker 6: take significant sums forward this year? 528 00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:19,520 Speaker 7: Man? 529 00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:21,600 Speaker 11: I think in all of his game, man, I mean, 530 00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:25,520 Speaker 11: him just having more football awareness, just becoming a better 531 00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:29,200 Speaker 11: student of the game, understanding. You know, when you when 532 00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:30,960 Speaker 11: you were first second year a player, you know a 533 00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:32,600 Speaker 11: lot of stuff is still new to you. But now 534 00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:34,600 Speaker 11: him going into his third year, he's seen most of 535 00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:36,800 Speaker 11: the runs game, most of the past protections and I 536 00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:38,520 Speaker 11: mean he's in here every single day working his butt 537 00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:40,520 Speaker 11: off in the classroom and in the weight room, and 538 00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:41,919 Speaker 11: I think you're gonna see a big jump in his 539 00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:43,920 Speaker 11: game in a run game and in the past game. 540 00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:47,960 Speaker 10: Rookie players all the speed shift from training camp to 541 00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:49,760 Speaker 10: preach season and that helps you get rid of your 542 00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:50,680 Speaker 10: first regular season. 543 00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:53,040 Speaker 5: Are you anticipating the same thing as a coordinator in 544 00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:55,240 Speaker 5: your first year, using preseason to really. 545 00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:55,960 Speaker 12: Hit your feet under you. 546 00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:58,320 Speaker 11: Oh, definitely, that's what That's what I think the preseason's for. 547 00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:00,320 Speaker 11: It's not just for you know, as a player, obviously 548 00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:02,359 Speaker 11: I focused on you know, it helped me out as 549 00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:03,720 Speaker 11: a player, but as a coach, even when I was 550 00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:06,040 Speaker 11: a position coach, it just kind of gave you a 551 00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:09,200 Speaker 11: practice run of how it's gonna really work on game day. 552 00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:11,800 Speaker 11: So it's gonna be good work.

And he's still playing at a 563 00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:36,199 Speaker 11: very high level. So I'm glad he's here with us. 564 00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:38,639 Speaker 11: I'm glad he's on our team and on defense, and 565 00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:41,480 Speaker 11: definitely you can use his story to show guys like 566 00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:43,240 Speaker 11: it doesn't matter where you start, doesn't matter what you 567 00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:45,879 Speaker 11: do when you get here, and it matters if you 568 00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:47,600 Speaker 11: show up every single day and do your job and 569 00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:50,200 Speaker 11: continue to get better. And Mike p I remember when 570 00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:52,000 Speaker 11: he first came in and I was like, Man, where's 571 00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:55,400 Speaker 11: this guy from. He's from Sandford, and he just took 572 00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:57,119 Speaker 11: it to a whole another level. I still remember that 573 00:24:57,520 --> 00:24:59,879 Speaker 11: New Orleans Saints preseason game where he went just crazy 574 00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:02,640 Speaker 11: and he made the team. And then the first week 575 00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:04,560 Speaker 11: of the season he was lined up in front of 576 00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:07,880 Speaker 11: me and he's been rolling ever since. So I'm real 577 00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:11,159 Speaker 11: happy that Mike's back a Raven and he's doing a 578 00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:12,040 Speaker 11: heck of a job out here. 579 00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:16,200 Speaker 15: The Ravens announcement he came went to I R just 580 00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:18,760 Speaker 15: as we're about the practice field, we haven't seen ads 581 00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:22,359 Speaker 15: Isaac out here is outside linebacker depth becoming a little 582 00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:23,359 Speaker 15: thin for you guys, is that. 583 00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:24,080 Speaker 7: A concern for you? 584 00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:26,919 Speaker 11: I think, you know, I think obviously you losing Ham 585 00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:29,920 Speaker 11: was tough man. Our prayers are with him, so you know, 586 00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:32,440 Speaker 11: we're still excited about it, Lisa. You know, hopefully we 587 00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:35,280 Speaker 11: get him back soon. But I think we got guys 588 00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:38,080 Speaker 11: that that can help carry the load until til Desa 589 00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:40,479 Speaker 11: gets back. I mean, you got Malik Harrison who've been 590 00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:42,919 Speaker 11: training there. He's doing a heck of a job at 591 00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:47,400 Speaker 11: the outside line recomposition along with you know, Dafe, Kyle 592 00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:51,399 Speaker 11: Van Noyd, a, Jabo t Rob So definitely, you know, 593 00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:53,880 Speaker 11: you'd like to have another guy since since Ham went down, 594 00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:56,280 Speaker 11: But those guys are competing and doing a good job. 595 00:25:56,920 --> 00:26:00,600 Speaker 4: Talk about Trenton Simpson not smiling on the field, yeah, 596 00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:02,840 Speaker 4: look at him and off the field he's like misplayed 597 00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:06,879 Speaker 4: nicest guy. Rokwan very similar, super intense. I mean, the 598 00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:09,639 Speaker 4: inside line to you, yourself and your career, what is 599 00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:12,479 Speaker 4: it is that abnormal for an inside linebacker be able 600 00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:14,000 Speaker 4: to flip the switch and be some of the nicest 601 00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:14,640 Speaker 4: guys on the team. 602 00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:18,080 Speaker 11: I think you just understand at that position really as 603 00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:20,399 Speaker 11: as a football player. But I think specifically at that position, 604 00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:22,200 Speaker 11: you know, you have to have a different type of 605 00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:23,760 Speaker 11: mindset when you step on that field. You have to 606 00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:25,720 Speaker 11: be you have to be mean, you have to be tough, 607 00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:28,320 Speaker 11: you have to be physical. So if you're gonna play 608 00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:31,000 Speaker 11: middle linebacker, you know, when you step between those white lines, 609 00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:33,840 Speaker 11: it gets real, real fast, so you gotta be ready. 610 00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:35,639 Speaker 11: So I think that's where the intensity comes from at 611 00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:38,080 Speaker 11: that position, especially with Rokwan and Trent. 612 00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:40,320 Speaker 6: How much do you rely on Roquan to kind of 613 00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:42,800 Speaker 6: be your eyes and yours and voice at the center 614 00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:43,800 Speaker 6: of everything on the field. 615 00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:46,119 Speaker 11: I rely on them a lot because obviously he's a 616 00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:48,119 Speaker 11: heck of a player, heck of a guy. He's a 617 00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:50,000 Speaker 11: heck of a student of the game. He knows ball, 618 00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:52,920 Speaker 11: and he's seen and played a lot of ball. So 619 00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:56,600 Speaker 11: as a coach, you always like to see how the 620 00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:59,000 Speaker 11: player sees it from the field view, because you know, 621 00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:01,320 Speaker 11: as a coach, easy when you're in the classroom or 622 00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:03,240 Speaker 11: on the on the whiteboard and you're like, let's do 623 00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:05,320 Speaker 11: it this way, or they're doing this, they're doing that, 624 00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:07,680 Speaker 11: but the players might see it differently when they're on 625 00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:10,040 Speaker 11: the field. So I definitely rely on on guys like 626 00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:12,159 Speaker 11: ro kwand to beat my eyes on the field and 627 00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:13,959 Speaker 11: let me know what he's seeing and you know, come 628 00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:16,400 Speaker 11: to a solution, the best uh to do the best 629 00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:18,000 Speaker 11: job we can do, exactly. 630 00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:19,640 Speaker 3: Your own. 631 00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:23,479 Speaker 11: I'll be on the field, yes, sir, Yeah, that's my preference. 632 00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:25,800 Speaker 16: What do you see or feel better on the field 633 00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:26,720 Speaker 16: than you wouldn't. 634 00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:30,000 Speaker 11: Do just to get just to eliminate the lag time 635 00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:33,920 Speaker 11: of you know, getting on the phone, getting that instant 636 00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:36,240 Speaker 11: communication and just getting a chance to see how the 637 00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:39,960 Speaker 11: guys are really feeling, you know, emotionally and you know, 638 00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:43,080 Speaker 11: just get that that that real time reaction with them. 639 00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:48,760 Speaker 5: Exact Uh think you've played in college for uh the 640 00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:52,440 Speaker 5: NCATE football video games B going away.

Man, it's a fun video game. 653 00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:22,000 Speaker 11: I have a six year old son now who enjoys 654 00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:24,159 Speaker 11: it and he plays. He likes the mascots and the 655 00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:26,680 Speaker 11: band playing in the background. So I'm excited that the 656 00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:28,800 Speaker 11: game is is back. Haven't had a chance to play 657 00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:30,680 Speaker 11: it as much as I, you know, probably would like to. 658 00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:35,320 Speaker 11: But I'm glad it's back. Oh yeah, for sure. 659 00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:35,719 Speaker 3: Definitely. 660 00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:41,520 Speaker 11: That's the only school right there. Oh no, I don't 661 00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:42,360 Speaker 11: think I was that good. 662 00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:44,640 Speaker 7: I don't think I was that good. 663 00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:51,360 Speaker 1: And lastly, today we heard from a special teams coordinator, 664 00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:52,080 Speaker 1: Chris Horton. 665 00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:57,920 Speaker 9: Good to see everyone today. I hope you guys are 666 00:28:57,960 --> 00:28:59,680 Speaker 9: doing well. What questions you got from me? 667 00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:00,200 Speaker 8: So? 668 00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:06,720 Speaker 12: Because again the kickoff and then kickoff, the actually not 669 00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:11,160 Speaker 12: starting until the to re turn catching off the I mean, 670 00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:14,800 Speaker 12: how difficult that being should also kind of look at 671 00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:17,040 Speaker 12: knowing what you're going ahead and stricker a tip. 672 00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:17,600 Speaker 3: Guys that know you. 673 00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:24,160 Speaker 7: But also that's maybe a difficulty consist to differ, you 674 00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:24,760 Speaker 7: know what. 675 00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:27,200 Speaker 9: I what I think from the kickoff standpoint of just 676 00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:29,960 Speaker 9: giving those guys an opportunity, it's kind of why we 677 00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:32,400 Speaker 9: kind of why we shoot the ball uh in a sense, 678 00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:33,800 Speaker 9: and then wait for that ball to be caught and 679 00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:35,360 Speaker 9: we just try to time that thing up and just 680 00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:38,440 Speaker 9: and as we as the refs start to join the practice, 681 00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:41,719 Speaker 9: we start to see, okay, how much leeway we are. 682 00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:44,320 Speaker 9: Are we truly gonna get uh kind of timing that 683 00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:46,280 Speaker 9: ball up? But I don't think it's gonna be It's 684 00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:48,200 Speaker 9: gonna be difficult. And once that ball is caught, we 685 00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:50,000 Speaker 9: are going and we get down the field, we cover 686 00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:52,280 Speaker 9: the kick. I think the thing that's gonna be different 687 00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:54,680 Speaker 9: will be the angles of how we get to that 688 00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:57,600 Speaker 9: ball because we're so spread out and we're in a 689 00:29:57,680 --> 00:30:00,200 Speaker 9: short area amount of field, you know, normal when we 690 00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:02,920 Speaker 9: run down the field, we reduce the spacing and we 691 00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:05,160 Speaker 9: close off the lanes. But that's gonna change a little 692 00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:07,080 Speaker 9: bit for us right now. So we're just trying to 693 00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:08,800 Speaker 9: figure that stuff out. I think the guys are having 694 00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:10,520 Speaker 9: fun doing it, and as we go, I think we'll 695 00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:11,360 Speaker 9: continue to get better. 696 00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:16,080 Speaker 5: It seems like the return team maybe has some signaling 697 00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:17,880 Speaker 5: issues because their back is to the hatch. 698 00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:20,600 Speaker 2: That's me is there is there anybody will be responsible 699 00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:23,600 Speaker 2: for signaling to investigate up the team that they that 700 00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:26,480 Speaker 2: with the line at the lion, that they have the 701 00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:29,080 Speaker 2: hole that the balls call on here where the ball 702 00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:29,520 Speaker 2: is going. 703 00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:32,400 Speaker 9: Oh, I think that's gonna be That's gonna be done 704 00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:35,280 Speaker 9: two different ways. In my opinion, I'm leaving it up 705 00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:37,280 Speaker 9: to the player, like, let's figure out what works best 706 00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:37,840 Speaker 9: for the player. 707 00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:39,320 Speaker 7: We have time. 708 00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:42,320 Speaker 9: We have time to get a feel for Okay, where's 709 00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:45,120 Speaker 9: the returner standing, where's he going? If we want to 710 00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:47,360 Speaker 9: get a true jump, probably it might be better to 711 00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:50,120 Speaker 9: be staring at the returner. But if guys can't do 712 00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:51,880 Speaker 9: that and they want to see the cover guy, then 713 00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:54,360 Speaker 9: just go off the cover guy's movement. If he's late, 714 00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:56,080 Speaker 9: then I'm gonna be late and the guy that I'm 715 00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:57,520 Speaker 9: blocking it won't really matter. 716 00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:01,160 Speaker 15: You guys gonna have actual NFL officiating through out here 717 00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:04,920 Speaker 15: at some point this summer said help you and let 718 00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:06,240 Speaker 15: you know how certain things are gonna be. 719 00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:09,000 Speaker 9: Called correct Jeff, I think they'll be at some point. Well, 720 00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:12,160 Speaker 9: we'll have NFL officials out here. And once we get 721 00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:13,840 Speaker 9: those guys out here, you know, we're gonna just keep 722 00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:16,080 Speaker 9: trying things, putting things out there just so we can 723 00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:17,840 Speaker 9: get a good understanding of the play and how they 724 00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:18,680 Speaker 9: are gonna officiate it. 725 00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:21,080 Speaker 6: Do you feel like players are gonna be still getting 726 00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:24,240 Speaker 6: a feel for throughout hero Pot regular season or do 727 00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:27,400 Speaker 6: you feel like training camp in the three verse such games? 728 00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:28,320 Speaker 7: Is it enough to get some. 729 00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:29,360 Speaker 16: Comfort level later? 730 00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:33,840 Speaker 9: I think as we move forward, you know, I don't 731 00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:36,640 Speaker 9: know how comfortable we're gonna be, but I think we're 732 00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:38,800 Speaker 9: gonna have a pretty good idea of what we want 733 00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:41,360 Speaker 9: to do and kind of really lay a foundation. Now, 734 00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:43,760 Speaker 9: those things could change as the season goes on, but 735 00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:46,040 Speaker 9: I think early on we'll have a pretty good idea 736 00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:48,080 Speaker 9: of who we want to be, who we are as 737 00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:50,560 Speaker 9: a cover unit, what we do as a return unit. 738 00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:52,040 Speaker 7: Will probably feel pretty good about it. 739 00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:54,520 Speaker 9: But again, that's those things are gonna continue to tweak 740 00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:57,480 Speaker 9: as we as we move forward, change how much. 741 00:31:57,320 --> 00:32:01,400 Speaker 14: You campaign for the officer structor levels up there. 742 00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:04,680 Speaker 10: What will Wolves be with this new formation? 743 00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:05,880 Speaker 7: What do you want to cover? 744 00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:08,440 Speaker 9: You know, I think you're gonna I don't really know. 745 00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:10,680 Speaker 9: I don't really know yet because we haven't played a game, right, 746 00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:13,560 Speaker 9: so until we play a game, until we see what's happening. 747 00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:16,920 Speaker 9: But just like I've said this before, the roster is 748 00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:19,000 Speaker 9: gonna be structured the way the rosters. The roster is 749 00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:22,000 Speaker 9: gonna be structured, right, however that shakes out, We're gonna 750 00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:23,960 Speaker 9: put the best, the best eleven guys out there. That's 751 00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:26,560 Speaker 9: gonna help us because there is other phases that have 752 00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:30,120 Speaker 9: to be played outside of the kickoff kickoff return play. 753 00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:32,600 Speaker 9: We're still gonna have to cover punts and we're still 754 00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:34,280 Speaker 9: gonna need to be good on punt return and that 755 00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:37,120 Speaker 9: that might take a different body type player. So we're 756 00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:39,160 Speaker 9: gonna have to maybe give and take a little bit 757 00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:40,800 Speaker 9: of where we truly want to take from. 758 00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:43,720 Speaker 3: The league. 759 00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:52,560 Speaker 9: You know, you kind of you kind of talk to 760 00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:55,040 Speaker 9: guys here and there, but during during this time, at 761 00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:57,120 Speaker 9: this point, it's like, all right, let's figure this thing out. 762 00:32:57,280 --> 00:32:59,160 Speaker 9: And then as the film starts to come in from 763 00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:01,760 Speaker 9: across the league with the preseason games, you'll kind of 764 00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:03,440 Speaker 9: have an idea of what some other people are doing. 765 00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:10,680 Speaker 9: I honestly, I'm not I'm not sure yet. I think 766 00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:13,560 Speaker 9: every I think everyone's gonna have a base way that 767 00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:15,840 Speaker 9: they operate, and then as they see kind of how 768 00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:18,320 Speaker 9: these things shake out in the preseason games, I think 769 00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:20,520 Speaker 9: they'll they'll start to adjust a little bit. So I 770 00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:22,280 Speaker 9: think I think you'll see some different things. 771 00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:22,800 Speaker 1: From week to week. 772 00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:24,720 Speaker 15: Were you surprised too. 773 00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:34,360 Speaker 9: I don't know necessarily know if I was surprised by that, 774 00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:38,280 Speaker 9: because I still think that, like and I said this before, 775 00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:41,480 Speaker 9: if kickoff and kickoff return plays, you gotta find you 776 00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:44,600 Speaker 9: gotta figure out, okay, what works best, what's the right schemes, 777 00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:47,360 Speaker 9: And then if the kickoff team has a breakdown, there's 778 00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:49,560 Speaker 9: still ways that you can cover kicks in this system 779 00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:52,120 Speaker 9: and be effective. There's still ways that you can get 780 00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:54,840 Speaker 9: returns and be effective. But I'm not sure you know 781 00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:57,040 Speaker 9: how you're gonna score here or there. It'll just I 782 00:33:57,120 --> 00:34:00,320 Speaker 9: think it will naturally happen as as the play develops. 783 00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:02,280 Speaker 7: Another the first game. 784 00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:05,000 Speaker 6: Is that getting kind of. 785 00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:14,959 Speaker 9: You know, I think most special teams coaches are gonna 786 00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:17,920 Speaker 9: be glued to the glue into that game. It's kind 787 00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:21,320 Speaker 9: of see, okay, what's what's happening on either side? You know, 788 00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:23,479 Speaker 9: how are they playing? And you just you just hope 789 00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:26,399 Speaker 9: going into you know, the teams put the ball in play, 790 00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:28,440 Speaker 9: they play the play, so you could actually get a 791 00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:30,759 Speaker 9: good feel for, you know, what's gonna happen. So we 792 00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:33,160 Speaker 9: do have some more film to study in our league 793 00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:34,520 Speaker 9: with our players. 794 00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:38,880 Speaker 14: How much work goes into letting the players know the 795 00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:41,120 Speaker 14: new rules, the touch backs, so that they make the 796 00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:44,000 Speaker 14: right to seasons as opposed to the seasons they probably 797 00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:44,640 Speaker 14: had their whole career. 798 00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:47,440 Speaker 9: We talk about that every every time we have a kickoff, 799 00:34:47,520 --> 00:34:51,040 Speaker 9: kickoff return practice, we talk about the rules, how how 800 00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:54,160 Speaker 9: is it how they change fielding the ball? Right, every 801 00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:56,160 Speaker 9: ball is a live ball now, so you have to 802 00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:58,520 Speaker 9: down those those balls and that that's gonna be that's 803 00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:01,440 Speaker 9: gonna be new to a lot of college returners who 804 00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:04,000 Speaker 9: their last four or five years, how many every years 805 00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:04,800 Speaker 9: they spent in college. 806 00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:07,200 Speaker 7: That ball hits the ground, rolls into the end zone untouched. 807 00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:10,040 Speaker 9: That's a touchback. You know, I wouldn't be surprised if 808 00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:12,920 Speaker 9: some young guy just just tries to walk away from 809 00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:15,640 Speaker 9: the ball. But that shouldn't happen here, because that's one thing. 810 00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:18,160 Speaker 9: That's one thing we talk about a lot, and you know, 811 00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:20,640 Speaker 9: just kind of ingraining those guys.
