So, uh, 41 00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:44,280 Speaker 3: it's gonna be very interesting. 42 00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:46,479 Speaker 9: We saw a group. 43 00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:48,800 Speaker 2: So what Dak Henry could do today room where Harry's 44 00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:51,040 Speaker 2: what kind of challenge is gonna post teams when he 45 00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:54,000 Speaker 2: gets downhill to that second level. Well, I think everybody 46 00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:57,000 Speaker 2: that knows football knows the challenge Dereck Henry poses when 47 00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:58,800 Speaker 2: he gets going downhill with the football, you know. So 48 00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:01,080 Speaker 2: our goal is gonna be to get him going downhill 49 00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:03,360 Speaker 2: with the football. That's what we want. And Derek did 50 00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:05,200 Speaker 2: a nice job today. I thought all of our backs 51 00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:06,720 Speaker 2: did a nice job with that today. 52 00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:10,720 Speaker 10: God, it's obviously a new test from the pads have 53 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,120 Speaker 10: come on over the last week. So with that being said, 54 00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:15,760 Speaker 10: what do you see him from Borden's and Rosengarten now 55 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:17,960 Speaker 10: as they are compete in the offensive going right? 56 00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:21,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, they've been I would say steadily improving, you know, 57 00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:23,800 Speaker 2: and I mean it's steadily improving, then something will happen. 58 00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:25,400 Speaker 2: I think, you know, Andrew will be mad about the 59 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:27,840 Speaker 2: play today where Travis Jones had the great pass rush 60 00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,840 Speaker 2: on him, but he had I don't know, numerous numerous 61 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:34,120 Speaker 2: other very good plays thought Roger. Roger's been doing well, 62 00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:35,600 Speaker 2: deserved a shot with the ones. You saw him get 63 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:37,840 Speaker 2: a shot with the ones today. So we'll just kind 64 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 2: of keep working through that and let it play out. 65 00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:43,880 Speaker 11: John past they've talked about You've talked about playing the 66 00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:46,079 Speaker 11: best five. I want to get the best five offensive lineman. 67 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:49,120 Speaker 11: And how tough is it in the situation of carry 68 00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:52,480 Speaker 11: balancing how much he means as a swing guy inside 69 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,680 Speaker 11: that six offensive lineman. Rolling the port of that with 70 00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:57,600 Speaker 11: trying to get the best five on. 71 00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:00,200 Speaker 2: The field certainly part of the challenge, Jeff. I mean, 72 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:03,960 Speaker 2: that's that's part of it. You know, Pat's Pat's greatest 73 00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:07,880 Speaker 2: strength is his versatility. It's also probably his greatest the 74 00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:09,920 Speaker 2: thorn in his side a little bit, so he didn't 75 00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:11,920 Speaker 2: get a chance. Always a lockdown at one position. But 76 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:14,320 Speaker 2: that's a good problem to have, and we're trying to 77 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:16,840 Speaker 2: work through that too. 78 00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:20,119 Speaker 4: As sting garden a bunch. Do you think that's something 79 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:23,480 Speaker 4: you guys want to john him. 80 00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:25,519 Speaker 2: In the midst Well, you know, it's certainly something we've 81 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:28,120 Speaker 2: done before. You know, we have rotated offensive linemen before, 82 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:30,120 Speaker 2: which is we're probably one of the probably the first 83 00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:32,560 Speaker 2: team to do it, and I can remember, so it's 84 00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:34,120 Speaker 2: it's in our it's in our we. 85 00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:35,000 Speaker 3: Have a track record of that. 86 00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:37,640 Speaker 6: Related. 87 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:40,880 Speaker 2: No, he got his head banged a little bit, so 88 00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:45,800 Speaker 2: he's in there. But I'll be evaluating that tonight Paris. 89 00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:48,560 Speaker 4: And he's the guy you've been. 90 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:53,160 Speaker 5: How you development. 91 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:59,240 Speaker 3: Idea?

On the other side, he 94 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:04,280 Speaker 2: plays inside backer, both of them. 95 00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:05,040 Speaker 3: He plays. 96 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:07,320 Speaker 2: He plays outside back on our in our in our 97 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:10,760 Speaker 2: base package, he plays defensive end. Also in our sub packages. 98 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:14,280 Speaker 2: He plays every special team very valuable player, and I 99 00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:16,640 Speaker 2: see him playing all those positions during the season, just 100 00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:19,680 Speaker 2: as as it as it comes up. But he's done 101 00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 2: a great job.

Like you obviously you 335 00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:40,280 Speaker 15: know it's a part of the game, but you don't 336 00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:41,360 Speaker 15: realize how important it is. 337 00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:44,000 Speaker 5: To the game. And it teaches you so much technique. 338 00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:46,120 Speaker 15: It teaches you things that you can apply to offense, 339 00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:49,200 Speaker 15: a lot of defense, and even though you're not getting 340 00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:51,760 Speaker 15: those reps on offensive defense, doing things on special teams 341 00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:54,360 Speaker 15: helps you improve as an offensive and defensive player. And 342 00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:57,880 Speaker 15: so the thing that they do allowing people to go 343 00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:01,120 Speaker 15: in and start on special teams and cultivate careers that way, 344 00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:04,800 Speaker 15: it prolongs to everybody's career offensively and even if you 345 00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:07,320 Speaker 15: just stay on special teams. So it's definitely a great 346 00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:10,280 Speaker 15: skill set that I'm glad I've got the opportunity to develop. 347 00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:16,200 Speaker 1: We also heard from some of the offensive linemen, including 348 00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:19,120 Speaker 1: versatile do it all lineman Patrick McCarry. 349 00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:25,160 Speaker 6: We've we've seen you move all over the offensive line 350 00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:25,680 Speaker 6: over the years. 351 00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:27,520 Speaker 10: What has it been like to the start of camp 352 00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:29,280 Speaker 10: where you've kind of been able to focus in on 353 00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:30,880 Speaker 10: right tacks for the top ten. 354 00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:33,280 Speaker 9: Oh, it's been good.

The technique 468 00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:31,479 Speaker 9: is more important. So just clarifying with them, letting them 469 00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:33,800 Speaker 9: know that we're here whatever you need, uh, you just 470 00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:35,400 Speaker 9: helping them out if they have a good rep, cheering 471 00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:36,960 Speaker 9: them on on a good rep, they've a bad rep, 472 00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:39,399 Speaker 9: coaching up on it. But it's all, it's all a 473 00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:40,920 Speaker 9: part of it. It's all part of camp. It's part 474 00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:41,480 Speaker 9: of the process. 475 00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:44,920 Speaker 4: You know, Andrew coming back from his injury last year 476 00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:45,800 Speaker 4: and be happening. 477 00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:48,159 Speaker 14: Was there anything you kind of saw in terms of 478 00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:52,120 Speaker 14: maybe being in meetings or anything partwise they did last 479 00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:55,000 Speaker 14: year when you wasn't able to play or really practice 480 00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:57,080 Speaker 14: that prepared him for the role he's. 481 00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:57,840 Speaker 10: Playing in Camel so far. 482 00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:00,239 Speaker 9: Yeah, Andrew was really locked in last year and all 483 00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:02,119 Speaker 9: the meetings, even though he was heard, he knew he 484 00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:04,159 Speaker 9: wasn't gonna play, but he was locked in and all 485 00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:06,320 Speaker 9: the meetings, taking notes in every meeting. So I think 486 00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:08,719 Speaker 9: picking up the offensive calls has been easier for him 487 00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:10,520 Speaker 9: because of how locked in he was last year.
