Thanks Patty, by coach, How are you great? 48 00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:38,400 Speaker 1: How are you good? Thank you? Coach. You have a 49 00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:41,680 Speaker 1: lot of new talent here to work with, guys who 50 00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:45,480 Speaker 1: can maybe do different things inside linebacker, outside linebacker, some 51 00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:47,200 Speaker 1: guys who could put with their hand in the dirt. 52 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,080 Speaker 1: Can you just give us a little insight into the 53 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,480 Speaker 1: sorting out process here? Obviously you've got to see what 54 00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:54,560 Speaker 1: they're doing on the field, but do you also kind 55 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,640 Speaker 1: of integrate your teaching with what coach Spencer is doing, 56 00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:02,440 Speaker 1: what what coach Blemma is doing, and so forth. Uh yeah, 57 00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:04,799 Speaker 1: I mean a lot of it ties into what Pat 58 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:08,480 Speaker 1: Graham has kind of laid down as kind of who 59 00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:12,040 Speaker 1: we're gonna be, uh defensively, Uh, some of that ties 60 00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:15,640 Speaker 1: into what our personnel is. So yes, we all kind 61 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:19,520 Speaker 1: of collaborate on that and um in our skill set 62 00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:23,560 Speaker 1: that we teach is again around the fundamentals that Joe's 63 00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:26,639 Speaker 1: laid down just of the functional movements of a football player. 64 00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:29,280 Speaker 1: So uh yeah, there are times where we pair up, 65 00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:32,160 Speaker 1: you know, with the defensive front with the outside backers 66 00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:36,600 Speaker 1: and kind of interchange players. You might say, ideas he'll 67 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:39,720 Speaker 1: coach you know, the inside and vice versa. Sort of 68 00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:41,800 Speaker 1: just depends on what's going on there in the practice 69 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,760 Speaker 1: time and in terms of I knew you just started 70 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,640 Speaker 1: working with the guys on the field recently, but how 71 00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:51,040 Speaker 1: much can you glean from their college film in terms of, Okay, 72 00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:53,280 Speaker 1: this guy is gonna be a better fit inside, this 73 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:56,360 Speaker 1: guy is gonna be a better fit outside, and so forth. Um, 74 00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:58,240 Speaker 1: you know a lot of that obviously. You know, you 75 00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:00,800 Speaker 1: look for the length on yet and you look for 76 00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:03,560 Speaker 1: the you know, the change of direction on the inside, 77 00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:08,080 Speaker 1: But until you actually see those guys in person, you 78 00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:11,120 Speaker 1: don't really Sometimes they're bigger, not as big as what 79 00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:14,080 Speaker 1: you thought they were on film. So you know, it's 80 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:15,960 Speaker 1: best to be able to see those guys in person. 81 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:17,640 Speaker 1: And once you get them here, then you go, okay, 82 00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:20,080 Speaker 1: this guy may be better to you know, training a 83 00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:23,279 Speaker 1: couple of different positions, where to be outside, inside backer, 84 00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:26,080 Speaker 1: and things like that. So college film is a big 85 00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:28,120 Speaker 1: part of it. But once you get your eyes and 86 00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:30,039 Speaker 1: hands on him. You might say that's the best way 87 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:34,240 Speaker 1: to do to find thank you. This will be the 88 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:39,599 Speaker 1: last question here. Cannevan coach Tom Cannavan, UM, I know 89 00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:44,960 Speaker 1: you're coaching inside linebackers, but is there any um are 90 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:48,839 Speaker 1: you gonna get any joy working with Zo again? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, 91 00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:51,920 Speaker 1: is that? Yeah? It's funny because I think I was 92 00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:53,880 Speaker 1: here maybe a week and he popped in, you know, 93 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,320 Speaker 1: and uh, I hadn't really seen much of him since 94 00:04:56,360 --> 00:05:00,440 Speaker 1: we both left University of Georgia. But yeah, Lorenzo grey person, 95 00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:03,680 Speaker 1: great player, good family, and um, I'm actually looking forward 96 00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:05,880 Speaker 1: to it. And uh, you know, you kind of hope 97 00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,040 Speaker 1: he's a voice in the locker room unless the players 98 00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:09,680 Speaker 1: kind of know who you are before you show up.
