No. 3 00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:08,440 Speaker 2: I think's got a good good amount of work this 4 00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:11,160 Speaker 2: training camp, you know, especially being in the pads as 5 00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:13,520 Speaker 2: much as you were, and those guys did a really 6 00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:15,840 Speaker 2: nice job, I think getting into the flow of the game. 7 00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:17,919 Speaker 2: And you know, Barkley's a he's a veteran guy, so 8 00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:20,640 Speaker 2: you know, I don't think he'll take too long to 9 00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:24,440 Speaker 2: adjust it to that. Do you see anything different, better 10 00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:27,080 Speaker 2: or anything about Saque this summer than than you saw 11 00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:27,640 Speaker 2: last year? 12 00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:31,440 Speaker 3: Just I mean, obviously with a very productive year last year. 13 00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:34,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, he came in in great shape. He jumped right 14 00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:37,199 Speaker 2: into the mix and got you know, got caught up 15 00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:38,880 Speaker 2: to all the stuff that we were doing on offense, 16 00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:41,440 Speaker 2: and he's done a great job. He's first and foremost, 17 00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:43,320 Speaker 2: he's a captain, so he's one of those guys that 18 00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:46,280 Speaker 2: you look for from a leadership standpoint, and so he's 19 00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:48,360 Speaker 2: you know, he's he's working, he's sitting the standard for 20 00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:50,599 Speaker 2: the offense and he's part of that group that's doing that. 21 00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:53,080 Speaker 4: How much do you think them in the corner like 22 00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:56,280 Speaker 4: Gilmore can change what they'll do defensively? How much do 23 00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:58,240 Speaker 4: you think of them add and gilmore can change what 24 00:00:58,360 --> 00:00:59,280 Speaker 4: they do defensively. 25 00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:02,960 Speaker 2: You know that that's that's always the that's always the 26 00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,160 Speaker 2: question going into week one. You know, there's there's things 27 00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:07,040 Speaker 2: that you look on tape and what they did last 28 00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:09,120 Speaker 2: year you're not really one hundred percent sure and what 29 00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:11,080 Speaker 2: they're going to do this year. So you know, you 30 00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:13,240 Speaker 2: put in your base rules and you put in your 31 00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:15,319 Speaker 2: your schemes that you think you can go attack, and 32 00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:17,440 Speaker 2: then at the end of the day, it's how fast 33 00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:19,560 Speaker 2: can we adjust to the things that they're presenting. 34 00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,120 Speaker 4: That uncertainty that you're talking about, Is that have more 35 00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:24,120 Speaker 4: advantage offense or advantage defense? 36 00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:25,800 Speaker 3: I think it just goes both ways. 37 00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:28,000 Speaker 2: I think we've got to have enough stuff to adjust 38 00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:29,959 Speaker 2: to if they if they present a couple of different 39 00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:31,000 Speaker 2: couple of different looks. 40 00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:33,600 Speaker 3: But you know, it's just part of getting to the 41 00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:34,640 Speaker 3: flow of the game a little bit. 42 00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:38,440 Speaker 2: Do you have to make any concessions us starting or 43 00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:42,280 Speaker 2: rookie center or you say, he learned your job, he's 44 00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:44,400 Speaker 2: now we have to treat them with everybody else. Yeah, 45 00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:47,160 Speaker 2: you look at all all the players, not just you 46 00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:48,920 Speaker 2: know one in particular, look at all the players and 47 00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:50,360 Speaker 2: make sure you put them in a in a good 48 00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:53,880 Speaker 2: position to where they can play fast and confident, and uh, 49 00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:56,800 Speaker 2: you know, I think that's probably an emphasis for a 50 00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:58,880 Speaker 2: lot of teams around Week one is get to go 51 00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:00,960 Speaker 2: out there, let's go play fast, play confident, and give 52 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:01,960 Speaker 2: our guys stuff that they know. 53 00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:06,040 Speaker 1: Do you look at it as you have three starting 54 00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:08,640 Speaker 1: receivers who play the majority of snaps, or do you 55 00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:11,560 Speaker 1: look at maybe rolling through five or six guys deep 56 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:13,760 Speaker 1: more so than you would if there was a bigger 57 00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:14,400 Speaker 1: talent gap. 58 00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,200 Speaker 2: I'd say just each week's gonna be a little bit different. 59 00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 2: This week's in that kind of that same boat. We're 60 00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:22,880 Speaker 2: trying to mix in our guys and make sure we're 61 00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:24,680 Speaker 2: giving them the stuff that they're what they're what they're 62 00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:25,920 Speaker 2: good at, and you know. 63 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:27,720 Speaker 3: Trying to maximize on their strengths as much as we 64 00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 3: possibly can. That a lot of success. 65 00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:33,160 Speaker 1: If you imagine last year, just how much are you 66 00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:35,640 Speaker 1: looking to combat their pass rush and how dangerous their 67 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:36,280 Speaker 1: pass rush can. 68 00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:38,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, those guys are those guys are really talented players. 69 00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:41,280 Speaker 2: They they're really good in the run game, they're really 70 00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:42,040 Speaker 2: good in pass game. 71 00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:44,320 Speaker 3: They have a lot of production. So you see them, 72 00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:45,440 Speaker 3: you see them all over the field. 73 00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:48,720 Speaker 2: They have good position flexibility, or they can play inside, 74 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:52,080 Speaker 2: they can play outside, you know, standing up at linebacker. 75 00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:53,880 Speaker 2: So there's a lot of flexibility there. So we've got 76 00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:55,320 Speaker 2: to make sure we know where they're aut in every play. 77 00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:57,480 Speaker 3: How confident are you busy?

How much do you think people 160 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,960 Speaker 4: should just expect naturally that the numbers are gonna come 161 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:12,599 Speaker 4: with it now that he does have more pieces around 162 00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:16,320 Speaker 4: than that you might, you know, speed to throw the 163 00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:17,080 Speaker 4: ball down in the field. 164 00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:21,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think the uh, you know, the comparisons from 165 00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:22,720 Speaker 2: last year this year like that was in the past. 166 00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,640 Speaker 2: I think right now we're focused on We're focused on 167 00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:28,240 Speaker 2: Dallas and trying to you know, improve ourselves today in 168 00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:31,080 Speaker 2: practice and work all the schemes that we work throughout 169 00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:34,640 Speaker 2: OTAs and training camp and if those things fit for 170 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:35,840 Speaker 2: what the game plan. 171 00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:38,560 Speaker 3: Determines for this week, then they fit and those are 172 00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:43,120 Speaker 3: things that we use and improve the most from the 173 00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:46,280 Speaker 3: time you got here till obviously we stand here today. 174 00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:49,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, he's I think he's getting more confident than himself 175 00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:52,880 Speaker 2: just being inserted for the offense and identifying the things 176 00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:54,160 Speaker 2: that you know, we're gonna ask him. 177 00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:55,400 Speaker 3: To do on a week and week basis. 178 00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:58,200 Speaker 2: So you know, he's a young player, he's learning, he's growing, 179 00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:00,440 Speaker 2: but he's taking all the necessary steps to spend an 180 00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:03,880 Speaker 2: extra time washing tape, spend extra time reviewing, and so 181 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:06,640 Speaker 2: you know, from my standpoint from my chairs, you know, 182 00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:08,599 Speaker 2: I'm looking at that and saying this because he's looking 183 00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:11,280 Speaker 2: he's eager to improve, and he's eager to work out 184 00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,640 Speaker 2: those things. Then you're seeing it show up on practice. 185 00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:17,760 Speaker 3: Two better snow players make for a better offensive line. 186 00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:21,080 Speaker 2: In your mind, I think, I think it's an offense. 187 00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:24,320 Speaker 2: It's eleven man operation. Everyone's got to be so in 188 00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:26,240 Speaker 2: tune to it. Everyone's got to be working on the 189 00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:29,040 Speaker 2: same page. Is if you get a breakdown really anywhere, 190 00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:31,720 Speaker 2: you know, then the play kind of falls apart. So 191 00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:34,520 Speaker 2: you've got to make sure that all eleving guys are 192 00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:36,840 Speaker 2: working together on this and and so it's not one 193 00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:40,200 Speaker 2: particular guy.
