1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,800 Speaker 1: And you just recently got into PATS and I'm just 2 00:00:01,800 --> 00:00:05,600 Speaker 1: wondering what was driving that confidence, you know, without seeing 3 00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:08,160 Speaker 1: them in Cats. Yeah, I think we've made progress over 4 00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:10,000 Speaker 1: the course so last year when when a lot of 5 00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:13,200 Speaker 1: young guys lying for us just simply were inexperience, and 6 00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:14,800 Speaker 1: I think over the course of the year you saw 7 00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:17,439 Speaker 1: them grow and developed. And again it's the same thing 8 00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:19,880 Speaker 1: we talked about with Daniel. If you approach it the 9 00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:23,120 Speaker 1: right way to get your mind right and your spirit right, uh, 10 00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:25,000 Speaker 1: to come out and practice and get better every day 11 00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:26,560 Speaker 1: you're going through it. So we try to come to 12 00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:29,560 Speaker 1: those guys in those situations and they're responding, well, we 13 00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:31,760 Speaker 1: have a long way to go every every guy individually 14 00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:34,040 Speaker 1: and certainly as a union, but they're going about the 15 00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:37,800 Speaker 1: right way. Which good. How you doing? Good? Good to 16 00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:41,760 Speaker 1: see um? Have they have been times out there in 17 00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:44,000 Speaker 1: the field camp where you have told the guys who 18 00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:46,239 Speaker 1: will get last year, which is most of them a 19 00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:47,959 Speaker 1: couple of things you wanted are a bunch of things 20 00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:50,120 Speaker 1: you wanted and they got it right away. They already 21 00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:52,520 Speaker 1: knew what was opposed to last year. It was all 22 00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:55,040 Speaker 1: beaten taught for the first time. Yeah, I think any 23 00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:59,440 Speaker 1: time you're exposed to something more Hopefully, again, if you 24 00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:01,800 Speaker 1: go about it the right way, you're gonna respond more 25 00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:05,280 Speaker 1: favorably to that next experience. So you know, all those 26 00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:07,240 Speaker 1: guys who have been around have a year under their 27 00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:10,000 Speaker 1: belt in this system, and now you come back the 28 00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:12,560 Speaker 1: next year and oh, I remember that. I understand what 29 00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:15,720 Speaker 1: you're saying, or I've been in that situation before. So 30 00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:18,000 Speaker 1: we have guys who go about it the right way. 31 00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:23,200 Speaker 1: And yeah, again again we're work in progress individually, as 32 00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:25,640 Speaker 1: a unit and as a football team. But again the 33 00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:28,080 Speaker 1: thing we emphasize to our guys approached the right way, 34 00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:31,920 Speaker 1: come in here mentally, emotionally, in physically prepared, and they 35 00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:33,840 Speaker 1: take advantage of the the opportunity. I think our guys are 36 00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:37,560 Speaker 1: doing it. Division contains and roll in this offense. And 37 00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:39,600 Speaker 1: then you've had a player with his skill set in 38 00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:42,560 Speaker 1: the passagon. You know, we're excited about the Darius, you know, 39 00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:44,640 Speaker 1: unfortunate we haven't seen a ton of him yet and 40 00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:47,480 Speaker 1: and we're renting them up here over the next few days. 41 00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:50,920 Speaker 1: But you can tell he's someone who picks up football easily. 42 00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:53,360 Speaker 1: We saw that in the rookie minicamp, and we're excited 43 00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:54,760 Speaker 1: to get him out there and just see what he 44 00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:56,960 Speaker 1: can do. There are a lot of positive things I 45 00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:59,520 Speaker 1: take from college. Obviously, that's why we drafted as high 46 00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:01,560 Speaker 1: as we did. We're just excited to see him out 47 00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:04,160 Speaker 1: here in the grads. Frankly, there's questions of your offs 48 00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:06,800 Speaker 1: is creative enough to fully utilize But like that, how 49 00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,799 Speaker 1: do you respond to that? Yeah, we're just excited about him. 50 00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:11,960 Speaker 1: We're excited about all the guys and how they're working. 51 00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:16,040 Speaker 1: Do you intend to include more motion and as far 52 00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:19,359 Speaker 1: as moving guys pre stabbed trying to a intents off 53 00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:23,040 Speaker 1: balance in that. Yeah, you know, motions obviously, if you 54 00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:25,040 Speaker 1: follow our offenses in the year, they're a big part 55 00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:27,920 Speaker 1: of what we've done. Last year we ran a lot 56 00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:30,040 Speaker 1: more of the no huddle stuff. We're on the line 57 00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,440 Speaker 1: of screen. It's where you don't run as much motion. 58 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:36,080 Speaker 1: We're using tempo. Sometimes you went fast, sometimes it went slow. 59 00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:38,880 Speaker 1: But we weren't in the huddle as much last year. 60 00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:40,600 Speaker 1: I don't know if you guys could see that, you know, 61 00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:42,480 Speaker 1: on TV, but that that was one of the things 62 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:44,600 Speaker 1: that we did. But you know, motion and shifting and 63 00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:46,440 Speaker 1: moving all that stuff in the big part, well, we've 64 00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:48,800 Speaker 1: done in the past, and we feel like it applies 65 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,560 Speaker 1: to a particular game plan will so we use this 66 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:56,120 Speaker 1: is going back. We just have half to change the 67 00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:59,720 Speaker 1: Chargers interview. How did that and how much are you 68 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:05,760 Speaker 1: improving and encouraged working towards down the road? Next opportunity 69 00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:08,200 Speaker 1: certainly a great opportunity for me to visit with them, 70 00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:10,079 Speaker 1: but but my focus right now is what we need 71 00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:12,440 Speaker 1: to do today to get better as an offense with 72 00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:16,400 Speaker 1: the JOT, So that's really worth my attention. How do 73 00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:18,840 Speaker 1: you get when you have a lot of the primary 74 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:25,240 Speaker 1: offensive weapons sideline the golf holiday, how do you continue 75 00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:28,400 Speaker 1: to get them ready throughout August to make sure that 76 00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:30,920 Speaker 1: when they're on the field a neat one. Yeah, you 77 00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:33,320 Speaker 1: know again, I go back to the guys approach that 78 00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:36,840 Speaker 1: those guys take its outstanding. They're just true pro If 79 00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:39,080 Speaker 1: you watch them out here in practice, if they're not 80 00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:41,720 Speaker 1: involved with some rehab that they're doing, they're right there, 81 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:45,120 Speaker 1: they're watching, they're paying attention, and the walk through reps 82 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,280 Speaker 1: that they're able to get they try to take advantage of. 83 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:50,360 Speaker 1: And uh, they're really great. And their interaction with coaches 84 00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:52,760 Speaker 1: and with their teammates and you can see them growing, 85 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:54,960 Speaker 1: and we're just excited to get them back out there 86 00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,080 Speaker 1: and get the physical reps and along with the metal 87 00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:00,280 Speaker 1: rep and you're getting the approach that's been outside. Is 88 00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:04,000 Speaker 1: there anything not necessarily should hold Daniel Jones back and 89 00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:05,640 Speaker 1: it's got to take him that next step, you know. 90 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:07,600 Speaker 1: I mean we all know how hot he wolks to 91 00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:10,360 Speaker 1: have Danny Kagley's anything on the field, and you see 92 00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 1: that maybe he's holding it back or now. Yeah, I 93 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:15,960 Speaker 1: just think the biggest thing, uh, for everybody with our 94 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,479 Speaker 1: football teams, you just gotta go back out there, approach 95 00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:21,080 Speaker 1: it the right way and try to get better every day. 96 00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,520 Speaker 1: That's our approach with Daniel, but it's our approach with everybody, 97 00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:26,960 Speaker 1: and uh, because he goes about it the right way 98 00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:30,800 Speaker 1: because he's always so prepared and he has physical tools. 99 00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:33,120 Speaker 1: We're just gonna keep trying to give him those experiences 100 00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,440 Speaker 1: and we're trying to put him in an environment where 101 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:38,200 Speaker 1: he's comfortable. We've got some young players around and who 102 00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:40,920 Speaker 1: are growing and we're all growing together. That's a positive thing. 103 00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:46,400 Speaker 1: That's an exciting things back that you see the other players, 104 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:48,960 Speaker 1: you know, reacting to Daniel. He jumps in the bible 105 00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:51,840 Speaker 1: to fight, which probably don't want it to do. I 106 00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:53,479 Speaker 1: don't know, how did you ever do that? Like I 107 00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:56,359 Speaker 1: did never jump in a little fight like that. Absolutely not. 108 00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:59,800 Speaker 1: So did you tell them that's your last? You never 109 00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:01,760 Speaker 1: want to take the edge off of a guy like that. 110 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,680 Speaker 1: You know. Daniel is this guy from Duke who really 111 00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:08,440 Speaker 1: presents himself beautifully, but deep down he's a he's a 112 00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:13,760 Speaker 1: really really tough competitor. He loves ball. His physical toughness, 113 00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:17,200 Speaker 1: his mental toughness or outstanding and uh, he's a he's 114 00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,200 Speaker 1: a fun exciting guy to be around. Is a fun 115 00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:22,360 Speaker 1: exciting guy to coach because of that, and he loves ball. 116 00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:25,839 Speaker 1: You can see the competitive dutes is falling. And uh, 117 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,880 Speaker 1: you know, the best players I've been around, the best 118 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:31,560 Speaker 1: teams that I've been around, really the people I admire 119 00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:34,279 Speaker 1: most of my life for people to fight. And we 120 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:36,479 Speaker 1: talked to our team about that a lot, and the 121 00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:38,560 Speaker 1: way we talk about the work fight it's fight to 122 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:42,279 Speaker 1: be your best and everything you do, uh, fight to 123 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:45,760 Speaker 1: live up to the highest standards, fight to get the 124 00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:48,640 Speaker 1: job done, and fight for each other. And we think 125 00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:51,240 Speaker 1: that's important and so so we try to instill that 126 00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:54,159 Speaker 1: in our team. And that doesn't necessarily mean a physical 127 00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:57,279 Speaker 1: fight on the field, but you want to have that spirit. 128 00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:59,560 Speaker 1: And again, if you think about the people in your life, 129 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:02,200 Speaker 1: were are most They fund, they compete, they battle, They 130 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:04,960 Speaker 1: try to be their best, regardless with the circumstances. Are 131 00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:07,479 Speaker 1: we believe our quarterback is one of those guys. Did 132 00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:10,240 Speaker 1: you out that on your shirt? If you write fight 133 00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:12,640 Speaker 1: on your shirts, I didn't. You didn't give you a 134 00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:15,120 Speaker 1: fight if I have one, but I only have one, 135 00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:18,800 Speaker 1: and so we try to wash these things. Jason, I 136 00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:20,800 Speaker 1: can't wear the gray one. I wear the blues, but 137 00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:23,440 Speaker 1: slide across the chance. Jason, you Gus coached this thing 138 00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:25,640 Speaker 1: for a long time and have your philosophies. But as 139 00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:27,720 Speaker 1: part of your obviously, do you study other offenses around 140 00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:29,719 Speaker 1: the league and see what they're doing and steal stuff 141 00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,520 Speaker 1: and that type of thing. Yeah? Absolutely, I think league 142 00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:35,000 Speaker 1: studies are a big part of what you do. And uh, 143 00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:38,120 Speaker 1: you have an offense or defensive system or special team 144 00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:41,239 Speaker 1: system that they believe in, but it's constantly evolving and wrong. 145 00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:44,880 Speaker 1: And you know, the dna IS probably doesn't change that much, 146 00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:46,840 Speaker 1: but put a lot of different parts of it do. 147 00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:49,320 Speaker 1: And you're always studying the league trends and you want 148 00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:51,320 Speaker 1: to be on top of them, and that's certainly something 149 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:53,240 Speaker 1: has been a big partrible we've done for a long time. 150 00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:57,280 Speaker 1: Jason Paul Jon people already even asked this, But Darius, 151 00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:00,200 Speaker 1: how I'm you seeing him just reactlimate and get back 152 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:02,440 Speaker 1: up to speed. Yeah, the biggest thing with him is 153 00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:04,080 Speaker 1: just come on in here and try to learn. You know, 154 00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:05,680 Speaker 1: we haven't seen him a lot. He was here for 155 00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:07,960 Speaker 1: the lookie minicamp and then you know, he was working 156 00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:10,200 Speaker 1: his way back in right now. But he's a really 157 00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:12,480 Speaker 1: good young man. I think he's a smart football guy, 158 00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:15,200 Speaker 1: and he's working hard to to get himself back up 159 00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:17,720 Speaker 1: to understanding what we're asking him to do. And hopefully 160 00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:19,040 Speaker 1: over the next few days we've got a chance to 161 00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:20,040 Speaker 1: see him out of the practice
