1 00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:03,560 Speaker 1: What is it about Kati dismist? He's had so much 2 00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:06,560 Speaker 1: success here. Uh, you know, he's done a nice job 3 00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:10,039 Speaker 1: doing the things that we've asked him to do. Um. 4 00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:12,880 Speaker 1: He's consistently gotten better with a lot of techniques that 5 00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:15,680 Speaker 1: we're asking him to do. Um. So I think that's 6 00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:18,680 Speaker 1: you know, uh contribution to him in terms of his 7 00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:21,960 Speaker 1: work ethic and uh what he brings to the game. 8 00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:23,960 Speaker 1: So he's done a nice job with everything we're asking him, 9 00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:26,720 Speaker 1: he said. Um. You know, he admitted, he said of 10 00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:30,840 Speaker 1: college it was hard for him to transition the technique 11 00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:33,760 Speaker 1: from practice two games. He said he would he would 12 00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:36,200 Speaker 1: rush it in games and he loses technique. He said, 13 00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:38,240 Speaker 1: that's something that you guys have really worked on when 14 00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:41,440 Speaker 1: you've kind of stressed in him the importance of keeping it. Yeah. 15 00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:44,120 Speaker 1: I think you know with any guy, you with all 16 00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:46,360 Speaker 1: the guys in that room, you try to just be persistent, 17 00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:49,360 Speaker 1: existent with what you're teaching them. Um. So that did 18 00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:51,920 Speaker 1: when they get to the game on Sunday, you know, 19 00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:54,440 Speaker 1: they play fast and a lot of stuff that you've 20 00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:58,440 Speaker 1: worked become muscle memory. So that's what we emphasize, you know, 21 00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:00,960 Speaker 1: just being persistently consistent and then so that when you 22 00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:03,520 Speaker 1: get to the game on Sunday, it's just muscle memory 23 00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:09,040 Speaker 1: for him. How much just blocking maybe surprised you. I 24 00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:12,280 Speaker 1: wouldn't say it surprised me, because again, you know, when 25 00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:15,520 Speaker 1: you work at something every day and you emphasize and 26 00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:19,919 Speaker 1: then you just stay very intentional with you work with him, Um, 27 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,240 Speaker 1: you know, you don't really surprise you. You know, you 28 00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:25,199 Speaker 1: you kind of sort of expected, you know, to show 29 00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:28,080 Speaker 1: up on game day. So that's kind of what we've done. 30 00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:30,680 Speaker 1: You know. We always talk about taking your drill work 31 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:33,160 Speaker 1: to the teamwork and practice and then now taking that 32 00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:39,119 Speaker 1: to game day. So it hadn't really surprised me. Which 33 00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,600 Speaker 1: made him effective as a receiver That isn't like having 34 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:45,120 Speaker 1: speed or anything like how it's able to you know, 35 00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:48,800 Speaker 1: with him coming out of college out of Stanford, you know, uh, 36 00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:50,720 Speaker 1: didn't take you long to see that this guy is 37 00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:54,720 Speaker 1: very instinctive. Um, he understands how to get open. And 38 00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:57,240 Speaker 1: one of the biggest things that people don't give him 39 00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:59,120 Speaker 1: credit for is that he can stick his foot and 40 00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:02,160 Speaker 1: ground and separate. And so being instinctive and being able 41 00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:05,400 Speaker 1: to stick his footing ground and separate, that's been probably 42 00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:08,440 Speaker 1: his biggest contribution in terms of it his success in 43 00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:10,639 Speaker 1: the past game to receive it on the game and 44 00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:12,680 Speaker 1: didn't Touchdow that a road where he they've got some 45 00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:15,840 Speaker 1: quick separation. The yeah, he he like say even you know, 46 00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:19,480 Speaker 1: just you know, touchdown pass was you know, uh, really 47 00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:24,720 Speaker 1: good design by coach Schumer and go Schumer. Um. But 48 00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:26,560 Speaker 1: you know, you look at some of his routes throughout 49 00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:28,359 Speaker 1: the game where he might not have gotten the ball 50 00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:30,040 Speaker 1: thrown to him. You know, you can see him sticking 51 00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:32,960 Speaker 1: his footing ground and separating from defenders and man coverage. 52 00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,880 Speaker 1: Evans Bess the last pretty much half the last two 53 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:40,840 Speaker 1: seasons with you know, a different kinds of injuries. Do 54 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,960 Speaker 1: you just chuck that up to bad luck or do 55 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,360 Speaker 1: you believe in guys who maybe get you know, banged 56 00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:49,320 Speaker 1: up more than other guys where they play well, you know, 57 00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:52,040 Speaker 1: it's a mad sport, you know, and uh, Titans I 58 00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:53,680 Speaker 1: asked to do a lot. You know, they're not just 59 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,800 Speaker 1: receiving tight ends. Um. So I don't think it's a 60 00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 1: string of bad luck. I just think, you know, it's 61 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,760 Speaker 1: just it's kind of his road and he's on right now. Um. 62 00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:03,880 Speaker 1: And I do believe in faith in terms of Hey, 63 00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,760 Speaker 1: you know you have some roadblocks early on, but ultimately 64 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,919 Speaker 1: you know it's a plan for you down the road, 65 00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:12,119 Speaker 1: so you just gotta stay persistent. You know, he's he's 66 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:16,640 Speaker 1: very encouraged UM to get back, and uh, you know, 67 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:18,480 Speaker 1: I believe that. You know, there's a there's a big 68 00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:21,880 Speaker 1: plan in his future for him to have some success 69 00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:26,320 Speaker 1: as a coach. Coaching your position now, you kind of 70 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:28,840 Speaker 1: ran the GAMA this year as the position. I mean 71 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:31,480 Speaker 1: back in the spring we we talked maybe not you 72 00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,079 Speaker 1: talked about how deep your position was and how much 73 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:37,240 Speaker 1: top returning talent, you know, the guys and everything else. 74 00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:39,720 Speaker 1: And now you go into the week sevent team hand 75 00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:41,840 Speaker 1: where kayden is you know a guy wasn't even on 76 00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,800 Speaker 1: your team as the last man standing?

I know there's the next 78 00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:51,280 Speaker 1: man up thing, but there's something about coaching next man 79 00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:54,360 Speaker 1: up to right again, I've said it before. You know, 80 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:56,360 Speaker 1: when you when you're coaching the group, whether or not 81 00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 1: as deep or whether not as thin, you know you 82 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:01,560 Speaker 1: coached back in room meeting. You know, you coach the 83 00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:04,360 Speaker 1: guys who are not necessarily playing. So so so you know 84 00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:06,640 Speaker 1: we're in that meeting room, you know, you're not just 85 00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:08,760 Speaker 1: talking to Evan and Rep. You know, I'm talking to 86 00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:11,520 Speaker 1: Gart and I'm talking to Scott, I'm talking to Kate, 87 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:14,600 Speaker 1: and I'm asking those guys the question keeping them involved 88 00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:17,320 Speaker 1: when they're not on the field, because again, the guys 89 00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:19,880 Speaker 1: when they're playing, they're getting the experience on the field. 90 00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:21,680 Speaker 1: You know, it's the guys that are not on the 91 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:24,560 Speaker 1: field that you gotta really do a nice job being 92 00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:28,000 Speaker 1: intentional on the meetings, you know, coaching those guys, coaching 93 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,240 Speaker 1: the room through those guys so that they get it 94 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:32,240 Speaker 1: so that then when they step in on the field, 95 00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:34,320 Speaker 1: you know you're not coaching twice. You know, you those 96 00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:38,720 Speaker 1: guys have gotten the coaching points, they've been involved throughout 97 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,120 Speaker 1: the meetings, and then now they able to step on 98 00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:43,479 Speaker 1: the field and know what to do. And then now 99 00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,760 Speaker 1: you're just emphasize and them being relentless and executing what 100 00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:49,800 Speaker 1: they're asked to do. When you talk about having you 101 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:52,360 Speaker 1: talk about the demands of the position, rights talk position. 102 00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:54,520 Speaker 1: You got lock of defensive ends and they're gonna run 103 00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:58,839 Speaker 1: around the next play. What's your confidence of that he 104 00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:02,279 Speaker 1: can't hold up and and he is built to be 105 00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:04,839 Speaker 1: able to be able to do that long term again, 106 00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:06,360 Speaker 1: and you know, I don't. I don't have crystal ball. 107 00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:09,960 Speaker 1: You know. My confidence is in his work ethic and 108 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:15,440 Speaker 1: his character and his determination to be uh nfl tight end, 109 00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:18,600 Speaker 1: complete tight end. So my confidence lies in his work 110 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:22,600 Speaker 1: ethic and him um being determined to get back. You know. 111 00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,640 Speaker 1: When he holds up or not, that's you know, uh, 112 00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:27,919 Speaker 1: you know, um, you know, not a psychic, you know. 113 00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,760 Speaker 1: But again, I'm confident in him in terms of the character, 114 00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:34,400 Speaker 1: the makeup that he brings to the game. I'm thinking 115 00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:38,279 Speaker 1: more just like you know, they talked about body, you know, 116 00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:40,520 Speaker 1: and just how your body is kind of built and 117 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,560 Speaker 1: where your weight is and stuff. Is that that seems 118 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:45,440 Speaker 1: to be one of the concerns coming out of now 119 00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:48,919 Speaker 1: he's kind of having the same concerns here. Do you 120 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,800 Speaker 1: see that or do you view it differently? Yeah? Again 121 00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:54,400 Speaker 1: I don't. I don't even I don't even look at 122 00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:56,719 Speaker 1: all that measurables and stuff and all that. You know, 123 00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,039 Speaker 1: when when you know, when the guys are here, you know, 124 00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:01,880 Speaker 1: you train, train for war and you know, just see 125 00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:04,040 Speaker 1: where it goes, you know, and you know, but now 126 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:07,120 Speaker 1: he holds up or not, you know, that's that's you know, 127 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:08,760 Speaker 1: I don't worry about that, you know, I just worry 128 00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:11,839 Speaker 1: about getting them better at what we're asking to do 129 00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:15,000 Speaker 1: so that he can do his job to the best 130 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:17,640 Speaker 1: of his ability, which in terms allows us to chance 131 00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:21,640 Speaker 1: to win. Wide receiver might be a better home for 132 00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:23,280 Speaker 1: him because you wouldn't have to deal with some of 133 00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:24,880 Speaker 1: the stuff tight ends up the deal. He said that 134 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:27,560 Speaker 1: the notion that wide receiver might be a better position 135 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:31,039 Speaker 1: him again if he if he's in the tight end room, 136 00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:34,000 Speaker 1: which I'll enjoy. I enjoy having him in a tight 137 00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:37,200 Speaker 1: end room. Uh, we're gonna put him in a position 138 00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:40,520 Speaker 1: to be successful as a NFL tight end, you know, 139 00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:42,359 Speaker 1: for the New York Football Giants. If we go to 140 00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:44,719 Speaker 1: the receiver room, I don't know, tight toe is gonna 141 00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:47,040 Speaker 1: get him ready to be, you know, the best player 142 00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:50,000 Speaker 1: to be there. But I don't really worry about him, 143 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:52,719 Speaker 1: you know, saying that you wire seems the best position 144 00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:55,000 Speaker 1: for him. Hey, the best position is whatever position he's 145 00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:56,400 Speaker 1: playing at, and m execut
