Keep an eye out for that show. 0:02:03.840 --> 0:02:06.320 I'll be sure I tweeted out like crazy, and on 0:02:06.360 --> 0:02:09.520 that show, we had an exclusive interview with Dolphins safety 0:02:09.639 --> 0:02:11.959 Eric Row which we're gonna go ahead and roll right 0:02:11.960 --> 0:02:15.480 now on the Drivetime podcast. Alright, and joining me now 0:02:15.600 --> 0:02:18.440 is Dolphins safety Eric Row. Eric first, I want to 0:02:18.440 --> 0:02:21.600 ask you, man, how's camp going, how you're feeling, So, 0:02:23.400 --> 0:02:25.600 I mean Campbell was going good, though, I'm excited to 0:02:25.639 --> 0:02:27.600 get back out there put on the pads. I mean, 0:02:27.680 --> 0:02:31.840 we haven't played football since December, so I mean it 0:02:31.919 --> 0:02:33.600 was a long break, so it's always feel good to 0:02:33.600 --> 0:02:35.600 get back out there. Well, it's year two for you 0:02:35.680 --> 0:02:39.040 here in Miami. Do you get any sense of comfortability 0:02:39.080 --> 0:02:41.280 in the heat and humidity in the second year or 0:02:41.320 --> 0:02:45.399 is it just always hot? No, it's it's always high. 0:02:45.840 --> 0:02:48.720 I mean, I mean because the last time legit do 0:02:48.800 --> 0:02:51.040 we practice, you know, and this heat probably like in 0:02:51.480 --> 0:02:54.360 probably last September. I mean, it cools off after a while, 0:02:54.480 --> 0:02:57.400 and you know, after you adjusted the heat the minute 0:02:57.440 --> 0:03:00.720 it's you know, maybe like eighty five and feel good outside. 0:03:01.000 --> 0:03:04.799 So uh so now it's back up there and it's hot. 0:03:05.360 --> 0:03:07.000 We're up in the shape up there on press row 0:03:07.080 --> 0:03:08.799 for the media, and I go stand by that fan 0:03:08.840 --> 0:03:10.639 and even then it's still really hot. So I even 0:03:10.720 --> 0:03:12.720 have that working for me. And I can't imagine you 0:03:12.800 --> 0:03:14.320 guys down there with all the gear on the in 0:03:14.360 --> 0:03:16.880 the Sunshine. It's it's brutal, but I do want to 0:03:16.880 --> 0:03:18.639 go back. I talked about the beginning of your time 0:03:18.680 --> 0:03:21.079 here in Miami. You come here as a cornerback. Now 0:03:21.120 --> 0:03:23.920 you're playing safety and playing on a second contract with 0:03:24.000 --> 0:03:26.839 the team. When they approached you about the change, what 0:03:26.880 --> 0:03:29.200 was that like for you? What was your initial reaction to, hey, 0:03:29.240 --> 0:03:32.560 we want you to play some safety. Uh, you know, 0:03:32.639 --> 0:03:36.160 my insty action was. I mean, I understood at the time, 0:03:36.200 --> 0:03:39.040 we were you know, we were down. We're down, We're 0:03:39.080 --> 0:03:42.120 really low on debt with safeties. Uh, it wasn't a 0:03:42.120 --> 0:03:43.680 lot of depth going on, and we had some good 0:03:43.760 --> 0:03:46.119 depth that corner. So at the time I was like, hey, 0:03:46.680 --> 0:03:48.600 you know, I was still playing corner at the same time, 0:03:48.640 --> 0:03:50.800 so I was kind of flip flopping back and forth, 0:03:50.960 --> 0:03:52.880 and I mean that that was kind of hard. But 0:03:53.640 --> 0:03:55.800 then when they're like, hey, you know, I guess I 0:03:55.840 --> 0:03:57.520 did a good job. We want to keep you at safety. 0:03:58.360 --> 0:04:02.080 I know because I know Rachard was her and shoot, 0:04:02.120 --> 0:04:04.760 we really have any safe after that, like strong, So 0:04:05.280 --> 0:04:07.280 you know, I understood. Then I guess a game by game, 0:04:07.680 --> 0:04:09.320 you know, I was getting a lot more comfortable with it, 0:04:09.680 --> 0:04:14.040 and you played some safety back in college at Utah, right, Yeah, yeah, 0:04:14.040 --> 0:04:16.360 it was mainly free safety though, so that was that's 0:04:16.360 --> 0:04:18.160 the difference. Can you talk a little bit about the 0:04:18.160 --> 0:04:20.400 difference between that free safety and strong safety role and 0:04:20.400 --> 0:04:23.920 what you have to do to prepare for that position. Yeah, 0:04:23.960 --> 0:04:27.760 I mean back in college, I was mainly free so 0:04:27.880 --> 0:04:32.320 I really didn't have any like you know, run fit responsibility, 0:04:32.680 --> 0:04:35.480 you know, taking on some linemen. And now it's strong. 0:04:35.520 --> 0:04:37.880 I mean, you you know, to prepare for a game, 0:04:37.920 --> 0:04:40.239 and I only got to study routes, you know, route 0:04:40.279 --> 0:04:42.200 skiing whatever for the tight end. I mean I have 0:04:42.279 --> 0:04:44.640 to study some run game like I mean because that corner. 0:04:45.480 --> 0:04:48.120 I mean, honestly, like corner. I I didn't go through 0:04:48.120 --> 0:04:49.719 the rule. I mean I didn't go through the run clips, 0:04:49.839 --> 0:04:51.720 like if it came to me, it came to me. 0:04:51.880 --> 0:04:54.960 You know, I was on the island. Now it's strong, 0:04:55.080 --> 0:04:56.839 you know, I have to study the run game because 0:04:57.360 --> 0:04:59.240 you know, I have to watch if you know, how 0:04:59.279 --> 0:05:02.560 to tight end, but box or online pools. You know, 0:05:02.600 --> 0:05:05.960 I got different jabs at different schemes. So I mean 0:05:06.240 --> 0:05:09.080 it's it's a lot more you know, a little broader studying. 0:05:09.640 --> 0:05:11.760 And is it a bigger challenge for you when it 0:05:11.800 --> 0:05:14.080 comes like on the practice field, like out there today, 0:05:14.080 --> 0:05:16.280 for instance, you're going through different drills when it comes 0:05:16.279 --> 0:05:20.280 to playing safety and cornerback. I'd imagine, right, yeah, yeah, 0:05:20.680 --> 0:05:22.960 I got I think I have some like god, some 0:05:23.040 --> 0:05:25.880 run kiss drills I gotta do now, Uh, you know, 0:05:26.000 --> 0:05:28.560 learn how to come out blocks. Uh you know, other 0:05:28.600 --> 0:05:32.960 than corner was working on your man technique. Uh you know, yeah, 0:05:33.080 --> 0:05:35.080 just working on different stuff. So I mean there's different 0:05:35.120 --> 0:05:37.400 drills out there now for me. So I wanted to 0:05:37.400 --> 0:05:39.000 go back to this note. I put my notes here 0:05:39.000 --> 0:05:40.479 for you, Eric. I was gonna try to talk some 0:05:40.520 --> 0:05:42.360 crap to you here because I was curious to see 0:05:42.360 --> 0:05:45.120 how your Utah career went up against my Washington State Cougars. 0:05:45.279 --> 0:05:47.200 But you guys were two and two, So we'll go 0:05:47.200 --> 0:05:48.760 ahead and just shake hands on that one to call 0:05:48.800 --> 0:05:51.159 it even. I gotta get my Pack twelve action here 0:05:51.200 --> 0:05:52.719 whenever I can, because we don't have any of it 0:05:52.720 --> 0:05:54.800 out here with the Dolphins, so I had to bring 0:05:54.839 --> 0:05:57.680 it up. But we'll come back here to the Dolphins. 0:05:57.680 --> 0:06:00.520 Another Pack twelve guy. We had g a drill Alexander 0:06:00.600 --> 0:06:03.160 on this weekend for media availability, and he talked a 0:06:03.160 --> 0:06:07.120 lot about the importance of communication, especially at that safety position. 0:06:07.520 --> 0:06:10.440 Is there a big increase in your level of comfortability 0:06:10.480 --> 0:06:12.839 now that you're in your second year as a safety 0:06:12.839 --> 0:06:15.000 in this defense, Like, do you feel more comfortable communicating 0:06:15.000 --> 0:06:19.120 to the defense this year than you did last year? Yeah? 0:06:19.240 --> 0:06:22.120 There's uh, I mean there's there's there's a little bit 0:06:22.120 --> 0:06:23.960 different calls, but I mean I have a lot of 0:06:23.960 --> 0:06:26.680 better understanding of you know, kind of when to make 0:06:26.720 --> 0:06:29.560 that call and you know how to make that call 0:06:29.720 --> 0:06:31.800 other than I mean, I was comfortable last year, but 0:06:31.880 --> 0:06:33.480 last year I didn't have too many calls. I think 0:06:33.480 --> 0:06:35.640 the coach knew like, hey, you know, man up on 0:06:35.720 --> 0:06:39.080 the tight end and you'll fit in the run game 0:06:39.160 --> 0:06:42.039 kind of when you fit in. But now this year, uh, 0:06:42.160 --> 0:06:45.560 you know, I have run you know, responsibilities fits. You know, 0:06:45.640 --> 0:06:49.000 I'd a cast to the line calls, the linebackers, calls 0:06:49.000 --> 0:06:51.520 to the corners, I mean, even to the other safety, 0:06:51.600 --> 0:06:54.240 to Bobby. You know, there's a lot of different calls. 0:06:54.240 --> 0:06:56.480 But I'm a lot more confident this year though, And 0:06:56.520 --> 0:06:57.880 so one of the things I think that kind of 0:06:57.920 --> 0:07:00.320 contributes to that is the ability to communicate with new 0:07:00.360 --> 0:07:02.640 teammates and we got you guys have brought in a 0:07:02.680 --> 0:07:04.960 few new defensive backs over the last couple of weeks, 0:07:05.120 --> 0:07:06.520 and I want to kind of tie that into last 0:07:06.600 --> 0:07:08.960 year again, because you played all sixteen games last year 0:07:09.160 --> 0:07:12.080 and you oversaw plenty of turnover in that secondary from 0:07:12.120 --> 0:07:14.880 week one to week seventeen. You mentioned the injuries being 0:07:14.920 --> 0:07:18.040 down so many guys. Did that experience kind of accelerate 0:07:18.080 --> 0:07:20.440 your ability to communicate and assist in helping the other 0:07:20.520 --> 0:07:24.240 new guys on the roster? Yeah, I mean it shoot 0:07:24.320 --> 0:07:27.040 started last year when we were getting new corners every 0:07:27.040 --> 0:07:29.560 probably like every other week, and we're doing right in 0:07:29.560 --> 0:07:31.800 the game, and you know, there's couple plays like hey, 0:07:31.840 --> 0:07:34.520 like you know what I got. I'm telling them, you know, 0:07:34.640 --> 0:07:36.760 con tell them like, hey, you know you have this. 0:07:36.920 --> 0:07:40.120 Make sure you don't stay outside leverage or you have this. 0:07:40.280 --> 0:07:44.200 So so now with this year, you know, you know, 0:07:44.240 --> 0:07:45.520 we got kind of got the guys like so I 0:07:45.600 --> 0:07:47.760 have to make kind of like tell them what to do. 0:07:48.720 --> 0:07:50.960 But you know, if they need me, like I know 0:07:51.000 --> 0:07:53.600 what they're doing, like, you know, especially if it's like 0:07:53.600 --> 0:07:55.560 a rookie, like hey, like make sure you know, I 0:07:55.560 --> 0:07:57.200 don't know you stay outside. You know, I got your 0:07:57.200 --> 0:08:00.400 helping here. Blah blah blah. But yeah, this year, I 0:08:00.440 --> 0:08:03.880 mean I I kind of did accelerated though. I watched 0:08:03.880 --> 0:08:06.160 some of the breakdowns on like Twitter. For instance, Darius 0:08:06.160 --> 0:08:07.760 Butler does a bunch of good stuff with that, and 0:08:07.760 --> 0:08:10.080 he talks about the communication you guys have to go through. 0:08:10.280 --> 0:08:12.760 It all happens so lightning fast. It blows my mind 0:08:12.760 --> 0:08:14.360 how quick you guys are able to read and react 0:08:14.360 --> 0:08:16.400 to that stuff. And speaking of the new guys, you 0:08:16.400 --> 0:08:18.840 mentioned the rookies. Wanted to get your take here. I've 0:08:18.840 --> 0:08:22.160 seen quotes on both Noah egit Agay and Brandon Jones, 0:08:22.200 --> 0:08:24.320 the two rookie defensive back draft picks for the Dolphins 0:08:24.360 --> 0:08:27.120 this year. I've seen quotes from their ex coaches and teammates. 0:08:27.120 --> 0:08:30.320 They cannot say enough about their competitiveness and dedication. Are 0:08:30.320 --> 0:08:33.480 you seeing the same thing here in Miami? Yeah, I 0:08:33.480 --> 0:08:35.880 mean I see it on the field, you know, with 0:08:36.120 --> 0:08:37.719 the way they you know, both of them, they run 0:08:37.760 --> 0:08:39.920 to the ball. I mean I can see how hard 0:08:40.000 --> 0:08:42.000 you know, they want to. They want to get the 0:08:42.120 --> 0:08:44.720 defense down like you know, they want to get perfect 0:08:44.720 --> 0:08:46.600 with it right now. But even though it doesn't really 0:08:46.640 --> 0:08:49.400 happen like that, I mean, you know, you can see 0:08:49.400 --> 0:08:51.520 it in their eyes and their actions. You know, I 0:08:51.559 --> 0:08:53.480 see the way they take the field, So I mean 0:08:53.480 --> 0:08:56.640 they yeah, they're both really competitive. Eric. Want to finish 0:08:56.760 --> 0:08:58.480 up here with the question for you about last year 0:08:58.480 --> 0:09:00.680 and kind of where your career came to those cross 0:09:00.760 --> 0:09:02.920 roads here in Miami because you previously had missed a 0:09:02.960 --> 0:09:04.959 lot of time with some injuries. I was curious to 0:09:04.960 --> 0:09:07.560 get your take on how it felt for you to 0:09:07.640 --> 0:09:09.960 get that contract extension last year and to kind of 0:09:10.240 --> 0:09:12.600 have your football talent finally be able to show itself 0:09:12.600 --> 0:09:14.120 on the field. What was that moment like when you 0:09:14.160 --> 0:09:17.760 got approach with the Dolphins with a new contract. Oh man, 0:09:17.920 --> 0:09:21.480 so it's so great. I mean just one you know, 0:09:21.760 --> 0:09:23.160 you know I want to be here, you know, I 0:09:23.200 --> 0:09:25.400 want of you would flow and Josh, I mean this 0:09:25.520 --> 0:09:28.320 reason why I came here, uh, you know, to get 0:09:28.360 --> 0:09:31.200 that extension and then yeah, plus like the years passed, 0:09:31.240 --> 0:09:34.079 so just you know, injury after injury, you know, something 0:09:34.120 --> 0:09:37.120 that you can't control. Then you know them to you know, 0:09:37.160 --> 0:09:40.000 giving me, you know, final shot too, you know, kind 0:09:40.000 --> 0:09:41.679 of show my talent and you know kind of all 0:09:41.720 --> 0:09:45.000 the Harvard kind of like you know, pays off me. 0:09:45.080 --> 0:09:47.160 You know, sending my family up and you know, being 0:09:47.200 --> 0:09:48.520 a place that I want to be at. I mean, 0:09:48.559 --> 0:09:51.000 it's so great. I have to imagine the only thing 0:09:51.040 --> 0:09:53.000 that felt better than that was the pick six last 0:09:53.040 --> 0:09:58.120 year in Foxborough. Right nice, Yeah, especially, I know I 0:09:58.200 --> 0:10:00.679 knew it all right there. He is Eric Roe, your 0:10:00.720 --> 0:10:03.720 Dolphins safety, leader of the secondary, leader of this defense. Eric. 0:10:03.840 --> 0:10:06.640 We appreciate your time today, man, I appreciate it. I 0:10:06.640 --> 0:10:08.880 always love talking to Eric Row because he always gives 0:10:08.880 --> 0:10:11.600 such a unique perspective and just such an honest, transparent 0:10:11.640 --> 0:10:15.000 perspective on football, on life, on his career so far. 0:10:15.240 --> 0:10:17.520 You heard him talk about the injury past he had, 0:10:17.520 --> 0:10:19.840 their the injury history, and how important and how special 0:10:19.840 --> 0:10:22.160 it was to him to get the contract extension here 0:10:22.160 --> 0:10:24.160 at the Miami Dolphins, and how he wanted to be 0:10:24.240 --> 0:10:26.800 here with Brian Flores and Josh Boyer and these guys 0:10:26.800 --> 0:10:29.760 down here in Miami. Looking at his his NFL Pro 0:10:29.840 --> 0:10:32.520 Football Reference game logs. Over the course of his career, 0:10:32.679 --> 0:10:35.160 he played all sixteen games as a rookie in Philadelphia. 0:10:35.280 --> 0:10:38.600 Then he was traded to phillip to New England, and 0:10:38.640 --> 0:10:41.160 he missed seven games that year. He missed eight games 0:10:41.240 --> 0:10:43.800 the following year and then twelve games and eighteen. So 0:10:43.840 --> 0:10:45.840 you hear him talk about things out of your control, 0:10:45.920 --> 0:10:48.480 injuries that just they just happened to guys sometimes, Like 0:10:48.520 --> 0:10:51.199 it's not a knock on how a guy works or prepares. 0:10:51.360 --> 0:10:53.840 He obviously works very hard at his craft. Sometimes you 0:10:53.880 --> 0:10:55.800 just can't control the way injuries pop up. And for 0:10:55.960 --> 0:10:58.440 Eric Row, he's had bad luck with that in his past. 0:10:58.600 --> 0:11:02.120 But last year started sixteen games, or rather started fifteen games, 0:11:02.240 --> 0:11:05.360 played in all sixteen games, had the interception, had eight 0:11:05.360 --> 0:11:08.320 pass breakups, forced to fumble, eighty one tackles. He was 0:11:08.360 --> 0:11:10.920 a really valuable asset for this Dolphin secondary. Last year. 0:11:11.040 --> 0:11:13.199 He earns the new contract in Miami, and you can 0:11:13.200 --> 0:11:15.320 hear you can tell why by hearing him speak and 0:11:15.360 --> 0:11:17.720 the way he communicates and how he leads this defense 0:11:17.920 --> 0:11:20.480 on that back end. Very very happy for Eric Row, 0:11:20.800 --> 0:11:23.560 and I cannot wait to watch him on Sundays this year. 0:11:23.960 --> 0:11:25.920 And we'll go ahead and pivot here from the guys 0:11:26.160 --> 0:11:28.199 Eric Row was playing with on defense. So the guys 0:11:28.200 --> 0:11:30.880 the defense are trying to stop on the offensive side 0:11:30.920 --> 0:11:33.320 with the assistant coaches. The players are off, but the 0:11:33.360 --> 0:11:35.360 coaches are here and we're gonna hear from each of 0:11:35.360 --> 0:11:38.080 the Dolphins offensive assistance, and we're gonna play some sound 0:11:38.120 --> 0:11:40.200 from each of those coaches here in just one second. 0:11:40.240 --> 0:11:42.439 But first, before we do that, I went ahead and 0:11:42.520 --> 0:11:46.120 did some research on offensive personnel groupings and production from 0:11:46.120 --> 0:11:48.640 previous Chan Gailey offenses, and the only one I can 0:11:48.679 --> 0:11:52.200 go back and find was with the Jets. And but 0:11:52.240 --> 0:11:54.680 I wanted to detail this interesting fact toy that I 0:11:54.720 --> 0:11:57.480 found on Changailes offense from those two years there with 0:11:57.520 --> 0:12:00.640 the Jets, and the difference in personnel packaging and how 0:12:00.679 --> 0:12:03.560 the numbers bear out a cliche we hear from coaches 0:12:03.600 --> 0:12:05.880 all the time, right, we're gonna adapt our personnel or 0:12:05.920 --> 0:12:08.560 our play calls rather to our personnel, and the numbers 0:12:08.600 --> 0:12:11.480 between these two seasons, Chan's last in the NFL as 0:12:11.520 --> 0:12:15.480 a play caller in twenty seen with the New York Jets, 0:12:15.679 --> 0:12:18.640 they proved the old adage to be true for Chan Gaily. 0:12:18.720 --> 0:12:22.440 For instance, in the Jets ran twelve personnel that's one 0:12:22.520 --> 0:12:25.160 running back to tight ends just two percent of their 0:12:25.160 --> 0:12:28.320 offensive play calls. In sixteen, that number jumped up to 0:12:28.400 --> 0:12:31.079 sixteen point four percent, for a fourteen and a half 0:12:31.160 --> 0:12:34.040 percent change in terms of twelve personnel usage, so we 0:12:34.120 --> 0:12:36.440 found more tight ends and called on them, called on 0:12:36.480 --> 0:12:39.560 the tight ends more often that season. The story was saying, 0:12:39.559 --> 0:12:42.160 with twenty one personnel, that's two backs, one tight end. 0:12:42.280 --> 0:12:45.040 In twenty fifteen, the Jets went fourteen point eight percent 0:12:45.120 --> 0:12:48.000 time out of twenty one personnel and only point five 0:12:48.040 --> 0:12:51.800 percent a half percentage in twenty one personnel in sixteen, 0:12:51.960 --> 0:12:55.200 so another fourteen percent drop off there in usage. In 0:12:56.000 --> 0:12:59.319 the Jets ran ten personnel four hundred snaps. The next 0:12:59.440 --> 0:13:01.920 highest and up ball that year was one hundred and 0:13:01.960 --> 0:13:04.480 thirty six snaps. Only two other teams had more than 0:13:04.520 --> 0:13:06.679 forty snaps from that package, so that's more of a 0:13:06.720 --> 0:13:09.520 spread out for wide type of offense. One back, no 0:13:09.720 --> 0:13:12.720 tight ends, four receivers. The Jets ran that four hundred 0:13:12.720 --> 0:13:14.679 times that year, and again the next highest was one 0:13:14.920 --> 0:13:18.679 d thirty six snaps. In they ran eleven personnel three 0:13:18.760 --> 0:13:21.600 hundred and eighty three times fewer than anybody else in 0:13:21.640 --> 0:13:24.839 the National Football League. So he is not really beholden 0:13:24.880 --> 0:13:27.600 to any one specific offensive scheme, and he's proven that 0:13:27.640 --> 0:13:30.439 with his play calls as personnel groupings in the past. 0:13:30.559 --> 0:13:33.200 Let's go ahead now and get to audio from Chan Gailey, 0:13:33.360 --> 0:13:36.120 who talked to the South Florida media on Thursday afternoon 0:13:36.280 --> 0:13:38.720 and up first, he talked about the rotation of reps 0:13:38.720 --> 0:13:41.120 and practice between the quarterbacks and the rest of the 0:13:41.120 --> 0:13:43.520 players on offense and how they worked that rotation to 0:13:43.559 --> 0:13:46.319 make sure everybody is getting even reps with the right players. 0:13:46.800 --> 0:13:50.880 We try to get different guys. We have a quarterback rotation, 0:13:51.600 --> 0:13:56.560 and we try to put different people in with those quarterbacks. 0:13:56.920 --> 0:14:00.680 Rather than saying, you know, first group, saying third group. 0:14:00.720 --> 0:14:03.280 We just have a quarterback rotation and we mix a 0:14:03.280 --> 0:14:08.240 lot of different people in with those with when those quarterbacks, 0:14:08.240 --> 0:14:11.920 when the quarterback rotation is so that we um know 0:14:12.040 --> 0:14:15.400 how many plays we're getting with everybody. And on the 0:14:15.440 --> 0:14:19.120 topic of quarterbacks, coach Gailey was asked about the knowledge 0:14:19.160 --> 0:14:23.480 between quarterbacks that play under multiple offensive coordinators in a 0:14:23.520 --> 0:14:26.320 short number of years, talking about Josh Rose and bouncing 0:14:26.320 --> 0:14:28.360 around from different play cars for the first couple of 0:14:28.400 --> 0:14:30.720 years of his career. But he also talked about two 0:14:30.720 --> 0:14:33.360 a tongue of VLOA at Alabama and playing with three 0:14:33.360 --> 0:14:36.880 different coordinators. They're really interesting answer here from Shan Gailey. 0:14:37.160 --> 0:14:40.920 There's really only x amount of plays in in football 0:14:41.560 --> 0:14:44.360 so what you're trying to do is teach him a 0:14:44.400 --> 0:14:47.920 new language. How quickly can he learn a new language 0:14:48.320 --> 0:14:52.320 and get to where he can speak it fluently rather 0:14:52.400 --> 0:14:58.680 than he's memorizing what something means. And so the biggest 0:14:58.720 --> 0:15:01.840 thing is to try to get him to put things 0:15:02.040 --> 0:15:06.040 in the past, terminology in the past, put it away, 0:15:06.200 --> 0:15:09.520 put it over to the side, and grasp the new terminology. 0:15:09.800 --> 0:15:13.200 It's okay in your brain to say, well, that used 0:15:13.200 --> 0:15:16.800 to be called this, but now it's called this and 0:15:16.920 --> 0:15:19.760 use that as a reference. That's a good thing, but 0:15:20.000 --> 0:15:23.200 not to get it where it's clogging up learning what 0:15:23.440 --> 0:15:26.840 new is going on. And that's that's true with I 0:15:26.840 --> 0:15:29.360 mean two has got the same issue. He had three 0:15:29.360 --> 0:15:33.920 coordinators is three years in college he's got the same issue. 0:15:34.680 --> 0:15:38.400 And Um. The great thing about um, you know Fits, 0:15:38.600 --> 0:15:42.600 is Fits has done put different offenses out of his 0:15:42.720 --> 0:15:47.000 mind so many times in his career that he's kind 0:15:47.000 --> 0:15:49.320 of used to it. It takes a while to learn 0:15:49.400 --> 0:15:52.960 to do that, put it all away and start something new. Man. 0:15:53.040 --> 0:15:55.520 I tell you what, I'm really enjoying the transparency of 0:15:55.560 --> 0:15:59.440 these Changuille Press conferences, especially his answer here talking about 0:15:59.440 --> 0:16:02.600 the value having size on the offensive line and how 0:16:02.680 --> 0:16:04.760 maybe that's not the most important thing. You have to 0:16:04.800 --> 0:16:07.360 be able to use it for it to matter. There 0:16:07.400 --> 0:16:09.960 are a bunch of four hundred pound people around out 0:16:09.960 --> 0:16:14.120 there that can't play football. Okay, so size is not 0:16:14.280 --> 0:16:18.120 the only factor. It's like people used to tell me, Hey, 0:16:18.200 --> 0:16:22.040 you got to you got some great speed at receiver. Well, 0:16:22.480 --> 0:16:25.200 if speed was the only factor, we go signed the 0:16:25.280 --> 0:16:29.320 Olympic team to come play football. So size is not 0:16:29.440 --> 0:16:33.640 the only factor in the offensive line. But the key 0:16:33.800 --> 0:16:37.960 is to get those guys using that strength in that way, 0:16:38.160 --> 0:16:42.080 going in the right direction, doing the right things. Uh, 0:16:42.120 --> 0:16:46.200 and that's the challenge for us. Bigger is better only 0:16:46.240 --> 0:16:49.320 if it's better. Bigger is better only if it's better. 0:16:49.360 --> 0:16:51.720 What a quote to end that question up. Next, Chance 0:16:51.840 --> 0:16:54.600 was asked about the progress of rookie Malcolm Perry and 0:16:54.640 --> 0:16:57.160 his offense so far and what he's seen from the 0:16:57.200 --> 0:17:01.240 former Navy star. Malcolm is is an interesting guy, having 0:17:01.280 --> 0:17:05.520 played quarterback in the option and um, he's got some 0:17:05.600 --> 0:17:09.879 good quickness. Uh, he's got a feel for the game. 0:17:11.920 --> 0:17:15.040 He's played tag growing up. You know he knows how 0:17:15.080 --> 0:17:17.040 to make people miss and make him get out of 0:17:17.040 --> 0:17:21.280 the way. You know, he he learned early on how 0:17:21.320 --> 0:17:23.960 to do that, how to look look at a guy 0:17:24.000 --> 0:17:25.919 and know when he's off balance, so he's got his 0:17:25.960 --> 0:17:28.080 foot in the wrong place and he can make a 0:17:28.160 --> 0:17:31.040 move the other way. So he's got a little unique 0:17:31.040 --> 0:17:34.439 talent there. And that's one thing that gives me hope 0:17:34.480 --> 0:17:37.240 that he can, you know, play receiver for us because 0:17:37.240 --> 0:17:41.200 he does have a feel for getting people off balance, 0:17:41.280 --> 0:17:45.280 finding holes. He understands the game pretty well. Probably playing 0:17:45.359 --> 0:17:49.200 quarterback helped him understand the game fairly well. So he's 0:17:49.200 --> 0:17:54.240 an interesting guy, uh to work with. And um, the 0:17:54.280 --> 0:17:58.199 other guys are working. You know, we hadn't had but 0:17:58.800 --> 0:18:00.840 what three or four at it. I don't even know. 0:18:01.160 --> 0:18:04.680 They run into each other now, three padded practices. We've 0:18:04.720 --> 0:18:07.719 got to We've got a lot of work to do 0:18:07.760 --> 0:18:10.120 in a short time to do it up. Next, coach 0:18:10.200 --> 0:18:12.960 evaluates another wide receiver on his roster, a player who's 0:18:13.000 --> 0:18:15.440 come out of the gates hot and training camp picking 0:18:15.480 --> 0:18:18.800 up where he left off last season. He's had excellent 0:18:18.880 --> 0:18:23.480 hand eye coordinations, got route running skills. He's got the 0:18:23.560 --> 0:18:25.800 speed and the size to make a difference on the 0:18:25.800 --> 0:18:28.840 football field, especially when he's one on one. He can 0:18:28.880 --> 0:18:34.080 be physical with guys. Um. I'm I'm really looking forward 0:18:34.080 --> 0:18:36.400 to working with him and see what he develops into 0:18:36.920 --> 0:18:40.359 UM and hopefully we can build on what he how 0:18:40.400 --> 0:18:42.879 he finished the year last year. Hopefully we can build 0:18:42.880 --> 0:18:46.240 on that. That of course about Davonte Parker, Dolphin's wide receiver. 0:18:46.359 --> 0:18:48.280 To finish this up here with chan Gailey, he was 0:18:48.320 --> 0:18:51.280 asked about how he adapts the offensive personnel he has 0:18:51.480 --> 0:18:53.439 and how you want to emphasize the strengths of the 0:18:53.440 --> 0:18:55.760 players you have and put them in a position to 0:18:55.800 --> 0:18:59.840 really show those strengths on Sundays. As a coordinator, you 0:19:00.040 --> 0:19:03.359 get excited about what guys can do. You don't fret 0:19:03.440 --> 0:19:07.280 about what they can't do. Uh. So you take the 0:19:07.359 --> 0:19:09.679 guys and take their skill set and the things that 0:19:09.720 --> 0:19:11.879 you're excited about, and you try to put them in 0:19:11.960 --> 0:19:17.679 position to be successful. And I think we have an 0:19:18.680 --> 0:19:23.160 a set of guys on our football team. They give 0:19:23.440 --> 0:19:26.960 me some excitement about what we might be able to 0:19:27.000 --> 0:19:29.760 do with this crew. Up next, we got coach Studentsville, 0:19:29.800 --> 0:19:32.080 who of course coaches the running backs, and he started 0:19:32.080 --> 0:19:35.320 off with the question about evaluating both Jordan Howard and 0:19:35.400 --> 0:19:38.800 Matt Brita so far through the first week of training, camp. Well, 0:19:38.800 --> 0:19:40.400 I think you think you see them is that they're 0:19:40.400 --> 0:19:43.080 both competitive people, which is one of the things you 0:19:43.119 --> 0:19:45.880
