1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:02,680
Speaker 1: So we've had some really good work. It's been a

2
00:00:02,840 --> 00:00:06,520
Speaker 1: fast whatever it's been six or seven months since we

3
00:00:06,559 --> 00:00:10,600
Speaker 1: all got here. Guys have worked really hard. Um. And

4
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:14,200
Speaker 1: you know, we've talked to all of our players on

5
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:17,880
Speaker 1: our team and offensively about you know, earning the right

6
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:20,520
Speaker 1: to be here, having something to prove, which I think

7
00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:23,000
Speaker 1: we all do. Um. The guys are excited for the

8
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:27,240
Speaker 1: for the season. They've earned this opportunity to be here. UM.

9
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:30,160
Speaker 1: We know we've got a tough challenge ahead. And you know,

10
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:33,519
Speaker 1: just kind of locking in on Jacksonville right now, can

11
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:34,960
Speaker 1: you talk about so much? Can you talk about that

12
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:38,879
Speaker 1: jam defense challenges that, Yeah, they're so talented and and

13
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 1: their scheme, they're well coached. They've Um, you know, it

14
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:46,239
Speaker 1: starts with the guys up front. Um, they can be

15
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:50,600
Speaker 1: very disruptive up front in both the run game. UM,

16
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:53,240
Speaker 1: in the past game. They've had a bunch of sacks

17
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 1: last year just with the Russian four people, and you know,

18
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:58,319
Speaker 1: and then everything else kind of fits off that. They're

19
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 1: very talented on the on the in the back seven

20
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 1: as well. UM, guys that can can cover man to man.

21
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:07,320
Speaker 1: They're fast when they uh, when they're in zone, they

22
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 1: get to the ball very fast. Um. And they you know,

23
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 1: there's a lot of guys that get to the ball quickly.

24
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:15,399
Speaker 1: So they're really good. There's a reason why they went

25
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 1: as far as they did last year. Do they do

26
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 1: a lot of let's it's done, some twists more subming

27
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:26,320
Speaker 1: than smother teams? Well, they they they have that ability, um,

28
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 1: and they can pull it out at any time. But

29
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:31,200
Speaker 1: they also can just um kind of do things where

30
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 1: they let their guys play and come off the ball

31
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:38,360
Speaker 1: and and they're very effective doing both. And now I

32
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:41,039
Speaker 1: think that's what kind of separates them or elevates them

33
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 1: from other defenses in the league. Do do you you

34
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 1: kind of settled your the staff settled on the five

35
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 1: offensive line and pretty early in the summer and stuck

36
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 1: with them. Um, what do you see from that group

37
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:55,559
Speaker 1: and are they ready for this kind of a challenge

38
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 1: to a new it's a new group up front? Well yeah,

39
00:01:57,800 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 1: I mean we're every snap we get out there on

40
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 1: the field that with those guys being together and really

41
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 1: collectively offensively. Um, you know, we feel like we're going

42
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 1: to get better. Um. You know, but your question is valid.

43
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 1: It's we don't have a lot of time on task together. UM.

44
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:17,920
Speaker 1: So these guys are you can tell their their talent.

45
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 1: Our guys are talented. Uh. It means a lot to them. Um.

46
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:25,959
Speaker 1: That communicate very well and uh you know, now it's

47
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 1: time to you know, we've got live bullets coming on

48
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 1: Sunday against a really good team. So um. But you know,

49
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 1: we we feel very comfortable with those guys and looking

50
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:38,679
Speaker 1: forward to them helping lead our offense offensively is to

51
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 1: operate the multitude of weapons that you have and this

52
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:45,360
Speaker 1: first games, yeah, we we feel like we have to,

53
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 1: you know, use the guys the best way we can.

54
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 1: The number one thing is to have our guys playing

55
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 1: fast and knowing what to do and doing it fast

56
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 1: because we feel like if they do that, that gives

57
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:59,079
Speaker 1: us our best chance. Uh. And you know we've got

58
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 1: a core back in Eli that's that is a fast

59
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 1: thinker and can get the ball out. Um. So, but

60
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 1: we don't want to force the ball to any one

61
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 1: of those guys. We want to let make you know,

62
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:15,920
Speaker 1: have Eli uh make good decisions. Um and and take

63
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 1: what they give you here that all the time, find

64
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 1: the one on ones and things like that. Um. That.

65
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 1: But and then as coaches, we want to make sure

66
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:27,520
Speaker 1: that we have enough stuff that gets the ball around

67
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:31,920
Speaker 1: to all those guys. So we want to be versatile, uh,

68
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:34,640
Speaker 1: with our scheme whether or not we're running it, throwing it,

69
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 1: you know, quick game, drop back, play, action, misdirection, but

70
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 1: also versatile with where the ball is going based on

71
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 1: our personality together obviously neat some some I guess nothing served,

72
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 1: but trunidation or or curiosity and any how it's all

73
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 1: going to come together. Well, I think, you know, there's

74
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 1: a newness regardless in the fact that we're all here

75
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 1: for um, you know, with with with coach Hermer, all

76
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 1: of us that are new. But I think that yeah,

77
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 1: and you'd like to have every snap as many snaps

78
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 1: as you can game like snaps together. But we've also

79
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 1: got some guys with Eli and some other guys that

80
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 1: have been here, and you know, I think as coaches

81
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,720
Speaker 1: through the years, you kind of um kind of get

82
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:26,920
Speaker 1: used to that. Maybe the first time going through it,

83
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 1: well you know you've been around offenses that haven't had that,

84
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:31,840
Speaker 1: you kind of get a little nervous, but um, you

85
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 1: kind of learn a little bit from that, and sometimes

86
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:35,679
Speaker 1: that might be the best thing to where you're resting

87
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 1: guys and they're feeling fresh for so there's trade offs

88
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 1: a little bit, but um yeah, you know we're all um,

89
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 1: you know, excited about the opportunity to watch these guys

90
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 1: for the first time together. Like Pason, what was your

91
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:53,720
Speaker 1: preseason evaluation at Kyle because obviously the organization with him

92
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,720
Speaker 1: over Davis as the young quarterback. So we think Kyle

93
00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:59,719
Speaker 1: is a is a young guy that just has continued

94
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 1: to get better, um with reps. Uh, he's got very

95
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:08,040
Speaker 1: good football intelligence. I think he's got some um intangibles

96
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:12,839
Speaker 1: that that you needed that position, uh for a young guy,

97
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 1: and not just out there on the field. You know,

98
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:18,040
Speaker 1: we've got them, you know, got them reps and um

99
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 1: ideally try to get all the guys more reps. But

100
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 1: you can kind of sense the day in and day out,

101
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 1: um ah, the learning process that he's going through and

102
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 1: how quickly he's picking things up, not just by what

103
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:34,600
Speaker 1: you see on the field, but how he is in

104
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:37,360
Speaker 1: the meeting rooms with the other players and always kind

105
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:39,920
Speaker 1: of um thinking about things other than maybe just the

106
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 1: way it's drawn up. I think you know, his arrow

107
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 1: is definitely pointing up and you know, looking forward to

108
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:52,720
Speaker 1: working with them more of you and Pat meshed just

109
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:54,680
Speaker 1: like sinematically in us. You know now that you've been

110
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 1: doing for a while, so I'm similar to the stuff

111
00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:59,040
Speaker 1: he does that you have to do. Coach has been great.

112
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:02,360
Speaker 1: I mean he is, he's unbelievable to work for. Um

113
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:05,480
Speaker 1: and uh he's he's got a lot of energy, is

114
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:09,720
Speaker 1: very positive, very open minded. So uh you know, as

115
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:12,160
Speaker 1: a staff, you know, we've um, you know, there's a

116
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 1: lot of guys that have working together for the first time,

117
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 1: not offensively especially, but really throughout the staff. So um,

118
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:22,680
Speaker 1: you know, I think the main thing is, you know,

119
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:26,360
Speaker 1: we all have ideas and convictions on things based on

120
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:29,040
Speaker 1: what we've done in the past or been around. And UM,

121
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,040
Speaker 1: you know we we all you know, we decided to collectively.

122
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 1: Ultimately it's it's his decision and then um, whatever that

123
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 1: decision is, we uh um, you know, we make it

124
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 1: the best one we can and and we will. Uh.

125
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 1: But again, he has been I think that mesh point

126
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:47,600
Speaker 1: has been very, very comfortable. I would say for both

127
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 1: of us. His first four seasons is on the field

128
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 1: the Giants four six more points when he's off of it.

129
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 1: Now that you've strong an off season with him, why

130
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:04,480
Speaker 1: has he been well I mean you guys have seen

131
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 1: him up close. UM. I mean he's just he's really

132
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:11,679
Speaker 1: talented as we as we know. Um. Um, he knows

133
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 1: and gets football. Um. All the little adjustments that maybe

134
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 1: sometimes you have to tell other guys, he kind of

135
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 1: gets them. Um. And you know, all the elite receivers

136
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 1: that we've all seen, they all have certain characteristics. You know,

137
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 1: he's got really really good hands. Um. And uh there's

138
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:34,680
Speaker 1: a guy that has made big plays in big situations.

139
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 1: So um, you know he's you know, big, a big

140
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 1: piece to our puzzle, but he's not the only piece.

141
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 1: And we're looking forward to having him and Eli get

142
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 1: together and all those other guys where it all ties

143
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 1: in together, where we got loving guys, you know, doing

144
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 1: the right thing and giving ourselves investians
