1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:03,680
Speaker 1: You have made the proper adjustments, the improper directions heading

2
00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:07,080
Speaker 1: into this weekend. I still every week is different. Um.

3
00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:12,039
Speaker 1: So there's different adjustments, different UH techniques, different communication every week.

4
00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:14,320
Speaker 1: I think the guys work extremely hard to get those

5
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:16,560
Speaker 1: right on a week to week basis. UM. You know

6
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:19,760
Speaker 1: we're still you know, in the process of getting all

7
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:22,480
Speaker 1: that right. You know, we gotta have a good practice today, UM,

8
00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:25,960
Speaker 1: and then string good practices together, string good meetings together,

9
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:28,120
Speaker 1: walk throughs, and if we do that, I think, you know,

10
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:30,640
Speaker 1: we'll just put ourselves in the best, you know, possible

11
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:33,680
Speaker 1: position to try to have a successful game one Sunday night.

12
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:36,040
Speaker 1: I know that he has been on the field for

13
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:37,800
Speaker 1: a while, but what do you see from Duke Dawson

14
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:40,840
Speaker 1: just during the summer, during preseason. Then, I guess since

15
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:43,680
Speaker 1: he's been back on the field now, you know, since

16
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:47,879
Speaker 1: we you know, drafted Duke, Um, he's coming. He's worked hard. UM,

17
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:52,880
Speaker 1: He's tried to pick up the you know, our our terminology,

18
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 1: our scheme. I think he's done a good job of that. Um.

19
00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 1: He works hard. It's important to him. You know, he's

20
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:01,360
Speaker 1: obviously had you know, some setbacks, but you know, he's

21
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 1: back on the fold now and he's you know, just

22
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:05,120
Speaker 1: working to get better every day. I mean that's really

23
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:07,319
Speaker 1: the goal for him. It's to try to improve every day,

24
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:10,360
Speaker 1: and you know every facet, whether it's the run game,

25
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:14,760
Speaker 1: the pass game, UH, playing a deep ball, uh, you know,

26
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 1: ath line of scrimmage with his you know, footwork. So

27
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:19,400
Speaker 1: you know, there's plenty for him to work on, just

28
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 1: like theris for everyone on the team. UM. I think

29
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:23,959
Speaker 1: he's working hard to do that, and if he continues

30
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 1: to do that, and hopefully he can carve carve himself

31
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 1: out of a a little role for him for himself. Excuse

32
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:34,399
Speaker 1: me a second game. UM, I think Adam, you know,

33
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 1: he's he's done a really good job of of really

34
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:41,400
Speaker 1: all the way across the board. You know, there's no

35
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 1: one particular thing. I think he's improved in really every

36
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 1: area run game, pass game, UM, his overall knowledge of

37
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 1: the defense. UM. I think he's got some leadership qualities, UM,

38
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:54,640
Speaker 1: somebody who you rely on for you know, some communication

39
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 1: along the defensive line. So I think he's done a

40
00:01:57,080 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 1: good job and he's ever improving, and obviously like everyone else,

41
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 1: he's just makes some some mistakes. UM, but you know,

42
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 1: he does a good job of correcting him quickly, and

43
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 1: I think he's I think he's really improved. You know,

44
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 1: from year one, year two, we've seen Joan Bentley traveling

45
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 1: with the team. What value is there having him on

46
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 1: the road with you guys, you know those types of situations.

47
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 1: I think as much time as a young player can

48
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 1: have around the team, around the coaches, around, you know,

49
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 1: more than anything the older players to kind of uh

50
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:32,080
Speaker 1: get some uh knowledge or gain some knowledge about, you know,

51
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 1: preparation or schematically what guys are thinking or how they

52
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:40,679
Speaker 1: prepare the night before. I think anytime you can you can,

53
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:44,919
Speaker 1: it's a it's a it's definitely ah. It's good for them,

54
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:46,520
Speaker 1: and that's in that way. So I think it's good,

55
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 1: you know, to have him around just like any other

56
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 1: young guys, you know, as much as we have around

57
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 1: it's it's good. I think it's good for them. A

58
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 1: lot of these teams are doing doing a lot of motion,

59
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:55,920
Speaker 1: a lot of moving around, and do you get the

60
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 1: players to forget about what they're seeing the trust their

61
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:03,960
Speaker 1: instincts because sometimes you're all receive you I think, you know,

62
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,360
Speaker 1: emotions part of the game. I think it's you know,

63
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 1: our offense does that we see a lot of it.

64
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:11,919
Speaker 1: Every team's got some version of UM shift or motion

65
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 1: or um you know, trying to create you know, the

66
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,080
Speaker 1: version or illusion for us, like you're saying, to get

67
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 1: us to you know, kind of get our eyes in

68
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 1: different places. But I think we talk about, you know,

69
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:24,919
Speaker 1: everybody doing their job, but everybody knows that's the kind

70
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 1: of the mantra here and um, we try not to

71
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 1: have guys. Um, we're trying not to have guys you know,

72
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 1: play outside of you know, the scheme and really everybody

73
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 1: just do their job, you know, if it's not your responsibility,

74
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 1: you know, and then it's it's not anything you need

75
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 1: to worry about. But again, I think when you see uh,

76
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 1: you know guys like you know Cob running emotion and fast,

77
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 1: it's you know, it's natural, it's human. You know, he's

78
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 1: human nature to to kind of go in that direction.

79
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 1: Or you know, even it takes discipline to do your

80
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 1: job and stay home and um, and if we can

81
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 1: do that then and all and it's the right thing

82
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 1: to do to all be in good shape.
