1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:08,320
Speaker 1: Come on here we go. First day out feels good, man,

2
00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:11,440
Speaker 1: feels great. Man. It's always good to be back.

3
00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:16,079
Speaker 2: It's always uh, just brought the fresh air, get back

4
00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:17,439
Speaker 2: out here and get some fans out here, get a

5
00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:28,120
Speaker 2: little energy. So it was fun to be out there today. Sure,

6
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:31,640
Speaker 2: I don't know if it's patience, but I mean that's

7
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:33,280
Speaker 2: just part of the process. I mean, I think every

8
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:36,240
Speaker 2: team in a way, I mean, we any any team

9
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:38,239
Speaker 2: that has something new or anything. I mean, every year

10
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:40,160
Speaker 2: is a new year in this league, and so there's

11
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 2: always some kind of patience in training camp. Everybody's trying

12
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:43,280
Speaker 2: to get better or something.

13
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:43,960
Speaker 1: You know.

14
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:46,240
Speaker 2: Obviously we're putting in a new offense, we've got new coaches,

15
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:49,559
Speaker 2: new regime, everything. So yeah, sure there's some patience, but

16
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:52,199
Speaker 2: that's just part of training camp in a way. When

17
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 2: do you talk about all those one or two that's

18
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 2: the most encourage about what's to come down?

19
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:00,639
Speaker 1: What might be courage.

20
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 2: I think Male is doing a great job just his

21
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 2: leadership style, how he's morphing just everything from the past

22
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:11,479
Speaker 2: and then also into the future. And I also think

23
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 2: we have some great veterans in this locker room, and

24
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 2: I think we have a great mix in the locker

25
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:16,479
Speaker 2: room and trying to.

26
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 1: Build a togetherness of a team.

27
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 2: I feel like between the veterans, I mean, we obviously

28
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 2: have a lot of new guys and young guys in

29
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:25,480
Speaker 2: the room now, but I feel like we have a

30
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 2: good mix of some good vets and some good rooks.

31
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 1: So how do you how do you actively do that build? Yeah?

32
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's being intentional and not avoiding getting

33
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 2: to know no matter if the kid the guys in

34
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 2: you know, his rookie year or third year. Trying to

35
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 2: trying to be intentional with everybody. I mean, that's I

36
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 2: think a goal of mine especially is just not to

37
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 2: treat anybody differently. Obviously you're gonna have the guys that

38
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 2: you know, you hang around with or whatever, but trying

39
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 2: to get everybody and be intentional with every single player

40
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 2: on the team.

41
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 3: Player?

42
00:01:57,720 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 1: Is it different?

43
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 3: Is a different head coach talked about nurturing and bringing

44
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 3: guys a lot of things, which that wasn't the same

45
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:08,959
Speaker 3: thing necessarily with with with Bill or do you guys

46
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 3: take a different role when Gerard is emphacising different things?

47
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 2: Honestly, dude, I keep my uh, I keep my leadership

48
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:21,960
Speaker 2: styles as consistent as I can be. Obviously I was

49
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 2: a captain last year, but you know, I just try

50
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 2: to be consistent in who I am every single day.

51
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:27,360
Speaker 2: I don't know if I adjust to you know, a

52
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 2: certain head coach or anything. I feel like I'm the

53
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 2: same leader, same player as I was even under Bill.

54
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 2: So I try to keep that as consistent as I can.

55
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:38,359
Speaker 3: And it's an offensive leader with a team with new quarterbacks,

56
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 3: does your leadership become that much more important because whether

57
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 3: it's veteran guys or younger guys, they're they're learning things.

58
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:46,679
Speaker 1: Yeah.

59
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 2: Sure, I mean it's crazy. I'm talking to my wife

60
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 2: talking to you know, David. I mean me, Jacoby Hoop

61
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 2: and uh David are pretty much the oldest on the

62
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:58,239
Speaker 2: on the offensive side of the football by you know,

63
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 2: a few years. So it's it's kind of crazy that

64
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:02,800
Speaker 2: things have flipped now that I'm kind of the you know,

65
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 2: the older one in the room. So definitely try to,

66
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:08,399
Speaker 2: you know, those years that have accumulated, try to pass

67
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:10,399
Speaker 2: that down and things that I see, things that I can,

68
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 2: you know, help guys bring along because we're gonna need

69
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 2: everybody when it comes, you know, kick off the season.

70
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 1: When you look at the.

71
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,800
Speaker 2: Third here, you guys add a different offensive, lad a

72
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 2: different offense. What are your impressions of this offense and

73
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 2: how challenging is when you're starting over against it can

74
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 2: be challenging, but you're always kind of putting in the

75
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:30,920
Speaker 2: install one after the other, no matter who it is,

76
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:33,079
Speaker 2: and so you're always like trying to learn. You're always

77
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 2: adding things even if you're having the same offense in

78
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 2: a way, but it's just part of the process. And

79
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 2: I don't think it's anything too crazy. I mean, everybody's

80
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 2: on the same same page on that because we're all

81
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 2: doing it together. So it's kind of maybe a good

82
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 2: thing of building it together. This offense, it's been good

83
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 2: so far. Spring was great. I feel like we you know,

84
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 2: we feel good coming out of the spring. We we

85
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 2: put in a lot of work. We put in a

86
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 2: lot of plays, a lot of the offense, so there's

87
00:03:58,120 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 2: a lot to build off of, and you know, we're

88
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 2: slowly building throughout training camp so that we you know,

89
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 2: we'll be ready to go.

90
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 1: First first preseason game and then obviously it comes September.

91
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 3: Drake and the education.

92

Speaker 2: First, Yeah, he's doing a good job, man, He's he's

93
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:16,719
Speaker 2: coming to work every single day. Obviously they got here

94
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 2: a little earlier than us. But he did a great

95
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 2: job in the spring. He does a great job in

96
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:22,360
Speaker 2: the meetings. I mean, he's learning a lot. He has

97
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:25,000

Speaker 2: some great coaches around him, and a v P and

99

Speaker 2: T and TC. A lot of guys that are, you know,

Speaker 2: putting good things in his head, teaching him a lot

101
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 2: of things, and a lot of things that he can

102
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 2: bounce off those guys.

103
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:36,720
Speaker 1: That's gonna help him.

104
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:49,360
Speaker 2: A lot expectations of what Oh man, that's fine. I mean,

105

Speaker 2: lot of work to do, obviously. I think everybody's got

107
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 2: a lot of work to do, no matter where you are.

108
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 2: So I'm excited for the opportunity. I'm sorded for training camp.

Speaker 1: look forward to.

118
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 3: Jacob leadership guys.

119
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:21,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's done a great job.

120
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 2: I mean Jacob's been around, like I said, I mean

121
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:26,920
Speaker 2: nine years in this league and been on a bunch

122
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:28,600
Speaker 2: of different teams. I mean he was here when he

123
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 2: first got here, so he's seen a lot of different things.

124
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 2: And you know, he's a great guy. At leana on

125
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 2: in that room. No, no, not at all. Honestly, those

126
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:50,039
Speaker 2: guys made me feel younger. So it's uh, it's good

127
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 2: to hang around those guys, you know. And there was

128
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:56,800
Speaker 2: guys when I was young that really instilled a lot

129
00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 2: of things in me. I was out in LA with

130
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 2: a chart and Antonio Gates and Philip Rivers are two

131
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 2: guys that come to mind. I mean we were fifteen

132
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 2: years apart, but I felt super close to those guys

133
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 2: and felt like I could ask them any question. And

134
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:12,040
Speaker 2: so I had some good bets when I was young,

135
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 2: and so hopefully I can is still the same thing

136
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:14,680
Speaker 2: that those guys did for me.

137
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 3: Large trying to rookie and how much just like kind

138
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 3: of coming up on everyone working.

139
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:28,599
Speaker 2: I don't I mean, I think every QB competition is

140
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 2: a little bit different. I mean, we're there's competition that

141
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:34,359
Speaker 2: every position. We're always competing. That's what the nature of

142
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:37,719
Speaker 2: this business is. So, you know, those guys are great

143
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 2: and I'm looking forward to continuing to work with both

144
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 2: of them, with all of the quarterbacks, and to see

145
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 2: the progress every day.

146
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:47,480
Speaker 1: You feel like he's going to pick the man.

147
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:53,599
Speaker 2: Yeah, I feel like he's doing good. I mean he uh,

148
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 2: he's doing a great job. I mean it's a lot

149
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:57,720
Speaker 2: for sure at first, but he's doing a tremendous job

150
00:06:57,760 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 2: and putting a lot of work in so that he's

151
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:00,040
Speaker 2: ready to go when we come out here on the

152
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:00,599
Speaker 2: football field.

153
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:03,920
Speaker 1: Is he doing stuff at the line of scrimmage too yet?

154
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:07,480
Speaker 2: I feel I mean we're early, dude, it's I mean,

155
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 2: today is the first day at training camp, so I

156
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 2: mean there's a lot to build on. I mean, none

157
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:13,840
