Uh, he kind of 176 00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:10,280 Speaker 10: has a he knows what he wants, but if we're 177 00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:12,680 Speaker 10: doing something better, he's not gonna try to fit the 178 00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:13,800 Speaker 10: square peg into a round hole. 179 00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:15,720 Speaker 8: He's gonna he's gonna lean on what we do. Last year. 180 00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:18,000 Speaker 10: You know, in Tampa, we didn't expect to run as 181 00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:20,000 Speaker 10: much of gap scheme as we ran. We came out 182 00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:22,400 Speaker 10: and like we were running it really well. So we 183 00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:24,080 Speaker 10: leaned on that and we kept running it, and we 184 00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:25,640 Speaker 10: kept running it well, and that became one of our 185 00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:28,360 Speaker 10: calling cards. Even though when he got there around this 186 00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:30,960 Speaker 10: time last year, that was not that said, that probably 187 00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,920 Speaker 10: wasn't his original plan, but you can see how he 188 00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:36,880 Speaker 10: adapted to it and used those strengths that we showed 189 00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:40,240 Speaker 10: on film as a team and made it our whole strength, 190 00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:41,640 Speaker 10: made it our identity. 191 00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:44,160 Speaker 12: Is that adaptability part of the reason why you think 192 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:45,960 Speaker 12: he's the guy that can help get things on the 193 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:46,640 Speaker 12: right track here. 194 00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:47,200 Speaker 7: Yeah. 195 00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:49,480 Speaker 10: I think that's a huge characteristic for a football coach 196 00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:52,000 Speaker 10: to have. You want to be able to listen to 197 00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:55,480 Speaker 10: your players and do it put them in the best 198 00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:57,320 Speaker 10: position to win. I think that's probably that would be 199 00:07:57,680 --> 00:07:59,040 Speaker 10: what a lot of coaches will tell you, as their 200 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:00,000 Speaker 10: main job is to put your play. 201 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:01,920 Speaker 8: He was in the best position to win. I think 202 00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:02,880 Speaker 8: he does a great job. 203 00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:05,560 Speaker 10: Of that, and I'm excited to see, like what nuances 204 00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:08,720 Speaker 10: he has to our offense because I loved it last year, 205 00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:10,960 Speaker 10: loved being a part of it, Excited to play more 206 00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:13,000 Speaker 10: in it because I think it, like I said, does 207 00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:16,120 Speaker 10: fit us well. He'll make it fit the players because 208 00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:18,040 Speaker 10: that's just how he does it. So I think it'll 209 00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:18,640 Speaker 10: work really well. 210 00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:21,160 Speaker 4: Robert, did you know Patrick McCarry at all? Have you 211 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:23,480 Speaker 4: ever bumped into him, met him? Or is that brand 212 00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:24,280 Speaker 4: new relationship. 213 00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:26,040 Speaker 8: That's a new relationship. He was. 214 00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:29,640 Speaker 10: He's played with a couple of guys I know pretty 215 00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:32,880 Speaker 10: well in college and when he was in Baltimore, So 216 00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:34,640 Speaker 10: I'm looking forward to getting to know him, getting to 217 00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:36,680 Speaker 10: beat them. By all accounts, he seems like an awesome dude, 218 00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:38,839 Speaker 10: and the people I know said that I'm gonna love him, 219 00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:40,720 Speaker 10: so I trust those guys' opinions too. 220 00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,160 Speaker 5: Were going to stress the imbordance of you guys being 221 00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:46,800 Speaker 5: physically dominant up front and running the football just from 222 00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:48,680 Speaker 5: what you've seen from him from last year. 223 00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:51,160 Speaker 1: How does he improve that. 224 00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:52,839 Speaker 5: Aspect of the game, just just being able to be 225 00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:54,319 Speaker 5: physically dominant running the football. 226 00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:55,920 Speaker 1: How does he stress that? How do you guys feel 227 00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:56,280 Speaker 1: about it? 228 00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:56,839 Speaker 11: Yeah? 229 00:08:56,880 --> 00:09:00,400 Speaker 10: I think you know, again, like using our stranks to 230 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:04,040 Speaker 10: the team's advantage. That's what That's what's important to him, 231 00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:06,240 Speaker 10: and that's why. That's how you become good run the football, 232 00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:08,800 Speaker 10: not by trying to make your players do things they're 233 00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:11,680 Speaker 10: not gonna at. You looked at like look at Tampa, 234 00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:13,800 Speaker 10: how they how they improved last year. But it was 235 00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:17,160 Speaker 10: you know, we all bought into the scheme. We bought 236 00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:19,400 Speaker 10: into them as coaches, and that that's that goes a 237 00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:21,160 Speaker 10: long way too. It was easy to buy into because 238 00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:23,959 Speaker 10: of the way it's presented, because it's it's simple enough 239 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,880 Speaker 10: to understand, but complex enough to confuse others. And it's 240 00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:29,599 Speaker 10: exciting to be able to take that next step in 241 00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:33,400 Speaker 10: the same system.

It's formations, 565 00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:22,480 Speaker 14: it's snap count, it's emotions, and then you start doing 566 00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:24,560 Speaker 14: day one concepts and all, and all of a sudden 567 00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:26,199 Speaker 14: you look up and you have an install, and you 568 00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:28,719 Speaker 14: have a you know plays and at that point you're 569 00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:32,320 Speaker 14: able to run plays. And so like Grant's detailed philosophy 570 00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:35,920 Speaker 14: of just clear communication, explaining everything from a foundational level 571 00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:39,760 Speaker 14: and building it all the way up will be tremendous 572 00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:43,320 Speaker 14: for the whole room and along with Coach Waldron and 573 00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:47,040 Speaker 14: Coach Cohen and UH coach Whipple as well, like the 574 00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:49,640 Speaker 14: entire staff. Like I said, it's gonna be a great 575 00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:53,200 Speaker 14: foundation and be able to hear that as a younger player, 576 00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:57,040 Speaker 14: If you were a younger player, it'd be very beneficial 577 00:23:57,119 --> 00:24:00,159 Speaker 14: just learning the system, how it operates, what makes it go, 578 00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:04,879 Speaker 14: what makes it good, Why are these playpass concepts you 579 00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:07,679 Speaker 14: know so beneficial to the run game and how it 580 00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:10,200 Speaker 14: all marries together and there's so much that goes into it, 581 00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:13,800 Speaker 14: and they do a great job of teaching it. Is 582 00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:15,840 Speaker 14: it when you first pick it up by going to 583 00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:18,080 Speaker 14: be Trevor's first year in it right for a first 584 00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:22,480 Speaker 14: year seeing it, how difficult is it to get right? 585 00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:26,320 Speaker 14: I think the biggest things is, I'm sure there's other 586 00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:28,560 Speaker 14: offenses that are like this. I'm sure out there somewhere, 587 00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:32,280 Speaker 14: but just the fact of you can put anywhere or 588 00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:37,199 Speaker 14: any player at any spot on the field and do 589 00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:39,160 Speaker 14: whatever you want. I mean, really, it's a giant puzzle. 590 00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:40,399 Speaker 14: You got to put all the pieces in the right 591 00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:43,440 Speaker 14: puzzle to create the concepts to put the defense out 592 00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:47,280 Speaker 14: of disadvantage. So it takes a lot of hard work. 593 00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:50,040 Speaker 14: That's anything in life, you know, Like, it's a lot 594 00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:53,159 Speaker 14: of hard work. Puts a lot on the quarterback. But 595 00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:56,520 Speaker 14: previously it's been a lot of fun to play in. 596 00:24:57,160 --> 00:24:59,720 Speaker 14: And I know once Trevor gets that grasp, he'll fill 597 00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:03,480 Speaker 14: the same way about it, very. 598 00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:04,400 Speaker 7: Similar age year. 599 00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:07,280 Speaker 9: I think, what what's that like to have somebody like 600 00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:10,639 Speaker 9: so close to be you know, your. 601 00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:13,480 Speaker 13: Your coach, right, Yeah, it's a lot of fun. 602 00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:18,320 Speaker 14: I mean me and Grant and everybody else part of 603 00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:20,840 Speaker 14: that offensive coaching staff loves football.

We can 836 00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:45,080 Speaker 16: communicate like what we saw and and we had some 837 00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:47,279 Speaker 16: some older guys in there like Bobby and Zach Ertz 838 00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:51,080 Speaker 16: and you know they they kind of let Jayn Jayden 839 00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:53,480 Speaker 16: lean on them uh a whole lot more so, and 840 00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:55,480 Speaker 16: we all needed on each other. And we we had 841 00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:59,200 Speaker 16: some guys that can that played uh a different type 842 00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:01,960 Speaker 16: of role and for us, like how they had the 843 00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:05,960 Speaker 16: standard was it was always clear lit and we kind 844 00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:08,279 Speaker 16: of understood that. So I think that that run there, 845 00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:11,000 Speaker 16: we just fail on each other and became like kept 846 00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:14,080 Speaker 16: that brotherhood going. And that's what got us through the 847 00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:16,120 Speaker 16: the hard times, the tough times. And and you could 848 00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:19,680 Speaker 16: see like we were finishing finishing games. You know, like 849 00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:22,200 Speaker 16: a lot of games were close, but we'll finish because 850 00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:25,040 Speaker 16: that's what that's what we wanted to do. And we 851 00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:26,719 Speaker 16: trusted in each other to get things done. 852 00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:27,560 Speaker 1: And that's what happened. 853 00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:31,960 Speaker 16: Go that fast in the locker room, oh l we 854 00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:32,640 Speaker 16: did last year. 855 00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:40,760 Speaker 4: What's like is uh is a player going against him. 856 00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:42,560 Speaker 16: Ah man I and I I like him a lot, 857 00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:44,319 Speaker 16: you know I I I've been against him for a 858 00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:48,480 Speaker 16: couple of years and you know, he's he's real fundamentally sound. Uh. 859 00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:50,960 Speaker 16: He he get chippy a little bit sometimes too, but 860 00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:53,160 Speaker 16: I mean that's that that's a part of the game. 861 00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:56,080 Speaker 16: But I think him coming in just being a dog 862 00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:57,719 Speaker 16: that he is and being high he is. I think 863 00:35:57,760 --> 00:35:59,480 Speaker 16: he can make a big difference on the defensive side 864 00:35:59,520 --> 00:35:59,879 Speaker 16: as well. 865 00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:04,200 Speaker 7: What's your special teams background? What's your role? Sorry, what's 866 00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:05,280 Speaker 7: your special teams background? 867 00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:06,399 Speaker 1: Your role for this team? 868 00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:07,760 Speaker 2: Specialism life recording? 869 00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:11,000 Speaker 16: Uh so, I I didn I did did I played Gunner? 870 00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:14,319 Speaker 16: I did, Like I mean, the kickoff rules a little 871 00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:16,839 Speaker 16: bit different now, so I mean I didn't. I did 872 00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:20,160 Speaker 16: that too, so but for real, it's just man. Special 873 00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:22,200 Speaker 16: teams a little different. You gotta have a different mentality 874 00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:24,319 Speaker 16: of playing special teams. You gotta be a real dog 875 00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:26,400 Speaker 16: for that. So you know, I plan to bring that 876 00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:26,960 Speaker 16: here as well. 877 00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:30,480 Speaker 1: Armcher.
