Speaker 1: Yeah, so I guess practice yesterday. Yeah, Big V looks good,
Speaker 1: big strong guys, smart, athletic, natural past setting ability. Excited
Speaker 1: for him to have his opportunity in this question before
Speaker 1: coaching or playing. Where to start? Yeah, um, yes, absolutely,
Speaker 1: probably a couple of times. And uh, you know you
Speaker 1: find out the guys tend to rise to the occasion
Speaker 1: and you know, number one because of what they have
Speaker 1: within themselves and number two the confidence that they gained
Speaker 1: from playing with the players around them. So, um, you
Speaker 1: know V Big VS stepping into an offensive line that's
Speaker 1: a very good offensive line. He's very well coached, and
Speaker 1: um so I expect him to come in with a
Speaker 1: lot of confidence. What about the physical aspect of it
Speaker 1: is it's it's a long time, you know, training camp
Speaker 1: and all that he hasn't been playing specialty training team
Speaker 1: like that. Does that take a while to kind of
Speaker 1: get to the point where you want to physically, you know,
Speaker 1: there's probably a little bit of you know, getting banged
Speaker 1: around some um that that that takes a little bit
Speaker 1: of time, but you get some of that out of practice.
Speaker 1: He is doing all the scout team. Um, there is
Speaker 1: some physics, you know, it's not live but up front,
Speaker 1: it's pretty physical upfront, so um, and they do one
Speaker 1: on one pass sets all the time that that's pretty
Speaker 1: close to live So we're getting about as close as
Speaker 1: we can. I think he's been doing a good job
Speaker 1: with it. It's on the road, you know, proud noise
Speaker 1: and you being how to tackle. Obviously that's not optimal.
Speaker 1: How much have you work against specifically on that of
Speaker 1: this league? Yeah, I mean, you know, we're practicing with
Speaker 1: the noise all the time out here. Obviously this weekend
Speaker 1: it isn't optimal, you know, going up against a pretty
Speaker 1: good pass rusher who and you know when they're a nickel,
Speaker 1: defense will be on his side. So um. But honestly,
Speaker 1: that's if when you're when you're or player, you're you
Speaker 1: kind of get excited about that. Hey, if I'm going
Speaker 1: to go, I might as well go against go on
Speaker 1: the road and start off the right way. That's that's
Speaker 1: what a warrior's mindset is. And that's guys, guys who
Speaker 1: play in this league. That's I think that's how they think.
Speaker 1: Transitioning problems standing partner two points stands. Yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: I think it's been an adjustment. Um, you know, in
Speaker 1: college when you watch his college tape, you could see
Speaker 1: very easily just how good of a pass blocker is,
Speaker 1: how good his feet are in past protection. Um. Now,
Speaker 1: the system that they ran there was all on two
Speaker 1: point stands. Really what takes the time is in the
Speaker 1: run game on those all those combination blocks. You know
Speaker 1: how to how to as Stalt will talk, how to
Speaker 1: surface the blocks, how to work those combination blocks. There's
Speaker 1: just no substitute for reps and reps and reps. And
Speaker 1: you know he's had a good bit of work here now. Um,
Speaker 1: but this will this opportunity is going to be good
Speaker 1: and I'm sure he'll get better as the weeks go.
Speaker 1: Ondb Skins Alliance, he had nine kind of expect and
Speaker 1: quarterbacks hanging on it. But you can kind of expect
Speaker 1: the biggers you were to being to play in that situation.
Speaker 1: And then also, um, what I feel about the Carson
Speaker 1: ball place in the you know, I expect it when
Speaker 1: we have one on one, one on one throw, we're
Speaker 1: going to make that play a very high percentage of
Speaker 1: the time to a guy like DGB. You know, when
Speaker 1: you're throwing to a big, strong guy like that, you
Speaker 1: know you've heard people say this before, but as a
Speaker 1: quarterback you can't cover him. He's never covered. So it's
Speaker 1: a question of putting the ball at the right spot
Speaker 1: and him making a play and to throw and his
Speaker 1: catching and then dgb's catching ability create a bigger margin
Speaker 1: of error, create a bigger chance of something good happening there. Um,
Speaker 1: that was a play I would expect us to make
Speaker 1: on a on a regular on a very high percentage,
Speaker 1: eight out of ten times, I would expect us to
Speaker 1: make that plays. You know, it's again we've before kind
Speaker 1: of in the rotation. You know, coaches said, we've also
Speaker 1: I've said that, you know the rotation is that math.
Speaker 1: You know that Ryan and Sprawls are the main two
Speaker 1: guys that are going to roll through. The other guys
Speaker 1: are going to roll through. Sometimes it's the flow of
Speaker 1: the game that happens a little bit more than other games. Um,
Speaker 1: you can't always predict how it's going to happen. This
Speaker 1: game we got behind a little bit. Not that that
Speaker 1: played into it totally, but it usually works itself out.
Speaker 1: Ryan's that I think three point two yards will carry.
Speaker 1: At what point if you look at the production and
Speaker 1: say maybe we need to chart something different. Yeah, there's
Speaker 1: a lot of factors that go into you know, you know,
Speaker 1: a nice twenty some yard run that was called back
Speaker 1: and I don't know what that would you know, I
Speaker 1: didn't do the math, but um, you know, Ryan's shown
Speaker 1: some good things. He's he's puts, he's logged some miles in.
Speaker 1: You know, I was with Ryan when he's in San
Speaker 1: Diego and he had twelve hundred yards for us. So
Speaker 1: I've had a lot of good experience and know what
Speaker 1: he can do. And he certainly had a good year
Speaker 1: here last year. And I still see a lot of
Speaker 1: positive things. But don't get me wrong, we want you know,
Speaker 1: I think it's going to continue to mix and some
Speaker 1: games it'll be more of the other guys and less
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, Ryan and Sprows will be continual
Speaker 1: and any decision aside of that is obviously comes from
Speaker 1: up top. Whoever see or do you think you're getting
Speaker 1: it off the guys like GPH, Yeah, I think the
Speaker 1: receivers have been you know, you always want more. I mean,
Speaker 1: you always want more. Um, but you know, we've made
Speaker 1: some plays. You know, Carson is completing a very high
Speaker 1: percentage of his passes. You know, we've had a few drops,
Speaker 1: I mean, and solways every NFL team, I mean, and
Speaker 1: it's unacceptable and you can't stand it, but it happens.
Speaker 1: It happens, and you know, you just you need to
Speaker 1: make most of the plays that come your way. Has
Speaker 1: been really good against the plays. I think it's like
Speaker 1: thirty to thirty six. Uh. You don't avisually see that
Speaker 1: in a rookie. Why is he's so good at it?
Speaker 1: That's actually really a point of career. Well, I think,
Speaker 1: you know, I think his uh, his fficiency against the
Speaker 1: blitz first and foremost speaks to his ability. You know,
Speaker 1: you saw that in college. We could see that talking
Speaker 1: to him, just how easy he talked about protections, what
Speaker 1: he did in college, how advanced he was in his thinking,
Speaker 1: not just what they did, but just how he thought
Speaker 1: and how he processed things against blitz. And then he
Speaker 1: walks into a situation where he's got a good offensive line,
Speaker 1: he's got a center who is as good as you
Speaker 1: can be against you know, communication wise, and helping him.
Speaker 1: So from the players side, the players deserve a lot
Speaker 1: of credit. He Carson deserves a lot of credit, and
Speaker 1: the players around him. From the coaching side of it,
Speaker 1: it starts from the top. I mean, you know, Doug
Speaker 1: really puts a big emphasis on it. He sets up
Speaker 1: our practice structure and our meeting structure. So we work
Speaker 1: very hard as a staff, very very hard. We log
Speaker 1: a lot of tape hours, a lot of preparation on
Speaker 1: that side of it, so you know, we try to
Speaker 1: give them all the tools that they need for that.
Speaker 1: But what's fun about it, the blitz stuff is maybe
Speaker 1: some of the funnest stuff that we do as a
Speaker 1: staff and players together because we end we study apart
Speaker 1: from each other and then we have blitz meetings together
Speaker 1: and we work things out together. And I think those
Speaker 1: meetings have been pretty dynamic. Money about them in terms
Speaker 1: of trying for beating in the NFL. Is that a
Speaker 1: product of what you're getting on the outside of the
Speaker 1: peters or that part seatings. I think it's I think
Speaker 1: there's a lot of factors that go into you know,
Speaker 1: how often you throw deep and I still think that,
Speaker 1: you know, I know Coach has a very aggressive mindset
Speaker 1: as a play caller, so um, there's no question about that.
Speaker 1: And I think we've seen that show itself in other ways,
Speaker 1: how he'll go for it and heartbeat on fourth down
Speaker 1: and so on and so forth. But I've always likened
Speaker 1: it to a boxing match. Um, you know, I've always
Speaker 1: likened to a boxing match that you know, you're you're
Speaker 1: throwing jabs, and you're throwing combinations, and you're looking for
Speaker 1: the right opportunity to get the big left hook. If
Speaker 1: you just come out throwing big haymakers, usually what happens
Speaker 1: up hating me as you end up getting knocked out.
Speaker 1: So that's just as as a as an offense. As
Speaker 1: a play caller, even in game planning, you know, how
Speaker 1: much of that do you put in? How often do
Speaker 1: you throw the big left hook or the big right hook. Um,
Speaker 1: it's a feel thing, um that you plan going into
Speaker 1: a fight or into a game. Hey, we want to
Speaker 1: throw the ball deep this many times or on these plays,
Speaker 1: and then you get in the course of the game
Speaker 1: they may roll the coverage that way prohibit you from
Speaker 1: doing it. Um. So you just I think over the
Speaker 1: course of the year, you find it plays itself out. Um.
Speaker 1: I don't think he's gonna be that shocked. Um, you know,
Speaker 1: I just don't think he's gonna be that shocked. Uh. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think I expect him to play well, and I
Speaker 1: expect him to after the game say this was easier
Speaker 1: than I thought it was going to be. Not that
Speaker 1: it's not gonna be tough. I mean it's gonna be
Speaker 1: a fight, But I think he's gonna say, yeah, I belong. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, very well coached. Their defensive coordinator, a good friend,
Speaker 1: amount of coach with him out in San Diego. Really,
Speaker 1: Joe Barry is an excellent, excellent football coach, very smart guy,
Speaker 1: very good schemes. Um, he can mix it up. They
Speaker 1: got all kinds of stuff in their package. They can
Speaker 1: get very sophisticated in the blitz package when they want to.
Speaker 1: But they're also very well, you know, very well coached
Speaker 1: as far as being disciplined when they get in their
Speaker 1: zone stuff. Um, so good defense. It'll be a good
Speaker 1: challenge for us to be the guy like normand kind
Speaker 1: of base quarterbacks and throw. Yeah. Well, Norman's a great corner.
Speaker 1: He's got great vision, great instincts. You know, he's got
Speaker 1: some length, good ball skills. So um again, I think
Speaker 1: for Carson, you know, for guys of you know that caliber,
Speaker 1: you look forward to go against the great ones. I
Speaker 1: mean you look forward to going against great ones. You
Speaker 1: really do. Like wide receivers and stuff. Do you see
Speaker 1: a guy like Race treads as as a guy who
Speaker 1: can kind of take the top off the defense and
Speaker 1: end It's so like, what's kind of a little bit
Speaker 1: that Yeah, I mean, yeah, I mean he's got great
Speaker 1: speed and that showed up out of practice and when
Speaker 1: we're throwing routes on air and even you know, scout
Speaker 1: team and some of the stuff where he's in you know,
Speaker 1: mixing in with our first team on some reps um.
Speaker 1: So you know, sometimes that's just a question of you know,
Speaker 1: us continuing to gain confidence in him. You know, right now,
Speaker 1: we feel like we have a pretty good mix of
Speaker 1: where we're at. We like the guys that we got
Speaker 1: right now. But we're certainly glad he's on our team
Speaker 1: and adds the depth and we'll see how things move forward.
Speaker 1: A big month to schedule, wives, and how important is
Speaker 1: it to get off to a good start. You've got
Speaker 1: a lot of division games those row of games. Can
Speaker 1: you talk about that a little bit? You gotta Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean everyone knows the importance of the division games,
Speaker 1: um so, and this is the first one, and you
Speaker 1: want to kind of set set the tone and tempo
Speaker 1: for how you're going to treat these games. Um. But
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, you still get back
Speaker 1: to it at one at a time. I mean, you
Speaker 1: can only play one per week. So the best thing
Speaker 1: that you can do is just focus on how we're
Speaker 1: going to play the Washington Redskins and attack them and
Speaker 1: then go from there. Should be successful, but obviously it
Speaker 1: teeter seven. I think able to do that and be
Speaker 1: a little bit more of adaptable how to start to
Speaker 1: see you know, I think Doug is Doug's been excellent
Speaker 1: as far as calling the game and as far as
Speaker 1: game planning. And I think that a just his smart
Speaker 1: his football smarts be the fact that he played quarterback,
Speaker 1: and I think he has a really good understanding on
Speaker 1: how to you know, what these matchups look like. He
Speaker 1: stood back there in the pocket and knows what it
Speaker 1: feels like and when a matchup feels good to him, UM.
Speaker 1: And I think he has a good ear for the player,
Speaker 1: you know, a good ear with the players and um
Speaker 1: knowing their strengths and studying them and knowing how to
Speaker 1: create those matchups. And you know, it's fun, it's fun
Speaker 1: to sit in those meetings and the kind of work
Speaker 1: through with the players that we have u to try
Speaker 1: to create those things film. He'll feel very music, Joshua,
Speaker 1: it's the most of standablest side. It's been a little
Speaker 1: it's been a little bit of everything. You know. He'll
Speaker 1: he will play to one side um summertime, but he'll
Speaker 1: move in the slot sometimes on man coverage and he'll
Speaker 1: play corners over his own, corners over man. Um. That's
Speaker 1: a little different than some teams. You know, some teams
Speaker 1: they go corners over and it'll be all man coverage.
Speaker 1: This team will do both. So Um he could show
Speaker 1: up a few places. Ye
