1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,320 Speaker 1: I think it's just as many reps as we're on wheel, 2 00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:04,360 Speaker 1: so we kind of cater the medias towards him and 3 00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:06,840 Speaker 1: Josh Dobbs and then Walter Field. So we're trying to 4 00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:09,480 Speaker 1: cater everything those three guys and each other. Learning you 5 00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:10,280 Speaker 1: talk pretty. 6 00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:12,680 Speaker 2: Well, you guys still using virtuality this year. 7 00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:15,040 Speaker 1: We try to use all the tools available to us, 8 00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:18,639 Speaker 1: virtual reality, walk through rooms, practice reps. He's coming out here, 9 00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:20,600 Speaker 1: extra walk through, so everything we could do to get 10 00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:22,799 Speaker 1: them gone. So if you were asked this already, but 11 00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:24,759 Speaker 1: I know think you're kind of learning with Josh mca 12 00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:27,800 Speaker 1: bridge the gap and I kind of learned it, you know, 13 00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:29,920 Speaker 1: when I got here, and then when Drake got here, 14 00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:32,240 Speaker 1: it was kind of me giving him advice, like, hey, 15 00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:33,880 Speaker 1: this has helped me a little bit, so I think 16 00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:35,800 Speaker 1: this can help you. And so that part has been 17 00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:38,680 Speaker 1: pretty neat. But again it's just going through it, stealing 18 00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:39,559 Speaker 1: repetitions and as. 19 00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:40,720 Speaker 3: Many reps we can get them. 20 00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:42,680 Speaker 2: Is what we're trying to do. What did he do? What? 21 00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:44,960 Speaker 2: I'm sorry, what did he do? 22 00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:45,440 Speaker 4: Really well? 23 00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:47,080 Speaker 5: What do you like in the days you've seen him 24 00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:49,480 Speaker 5: here in the meeting room and film, like, what. 25 00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:51,560 Speaker 2: Is what are you? What assets are building around. 26 00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:54,080 Speaker 1: I think he does a good job of taking the 27 00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:55,880 Speaker 1: meeting room to the field. So every day we come 28 00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:57,840 Speaker 1: out here with different types of emphasis and what we 29 00:00:57,880 --> 00:00:59,720 Speaker 1: wanted to work on, and every day he's really trying 30 00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:02,800 Speaker 1: to you know, attack those things and be intentional about 31 00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:06,080 Speaker 1: his uh, you know, his progression in offense. So I 32 00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:08,240 Speaker 1: think he does that super well. And then the physical gifts, 33 00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:08,920 Speaker 1: I think, you guys a. 34 00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:12,160 Speaker 6: Beautiful Josh has been saying that's this time of years, 35 00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:14,120 Speaker 6: mistakes can kind of be a good thing because you 36 00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:14,959 Speaker 6: can learn from them. 37 00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,000 Speaker 1: Do you feel like Drake has embraced that or do 38 00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,760 Speaker 1: you still feel like he's in a sort of perspectionist No. 39 00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:21,640 Speaker 1: I think he's definitely embraced it. And this is the 40 00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:24,440 Speaker 1: time of year again with you know, no repercussions to them, 41 00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:26,280 Speaker 1: mistakes for us to kind of figure out what we 42 00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:28,120 Speaker 1: do very well, what we might need to work on 43 00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:30,200 Speaker 1: a little bit, try to fit in throws that we 44 00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:32,600 Speaker 1: might not necessarily do on a Sunday. So we're kind 45 00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:35,000 Speaker 1: of trying to push ourselves to the limit just to 46 00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:35,759 Speaker 1: see what we can. 47 00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:38,319 Speaker 7: And can't do. Josh was talking about how he's going 48 00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:40,120 Speaker 7: to be running some places he's never run before. How 49 00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:41,840 Speaker 7: much of a voice do you feel like you and 50 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:44,520 Speaker 7: the other assistants have and Shi informing the offense. 51 00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:47,039 Speaker 1: I think it's been very collaborative, and you know, that's 52 00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:49,120 Speaker 1: kudos to Josh because he's had a ton of success 53 00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:51,640 Speaker 1: in his past and he's been very open, you know, 54 00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:54,880 Speaker 1: the new schemes and new systems and new techniques. So 55 00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:56,520 Speaker 1: I think it's going to be fun and he's been 56 00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:57,360 Speaker 1: super open to them. 57 00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:03,240 Speaker 5: I noticed say it, yeah, and I'm sure it's the 58 00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:05,080 Speaker 5: same with you. So you know, how do you find 59 00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:07,800 Speaker 5: the right time to give him the feedback that he. 60 00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,400 Speaker 2: Needs, Like Josh or Mike take the lead on that. 61 00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:11,320 Speaker 2: What's that like for you? 62 00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:13,680 Speaker 1: I think with the three of us, we're always in 63 00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:16,880 Speaker 1: constant communication, Me, Coach Brabel, and Josh, so it's all 64 00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,520 Speaker 1: the same streamline message moving forward. We try to make 65 00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:21,320 Speaker 1: sure we're all in lockstp talking to them, but it's 66 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:24,880 Speaker 1: a very natural communication. Sometimes it's Josh given the coaching points, 67 00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:27,760 Speaker 1: sometimes it's myself, sometimes it's coach Brabil, but we're all in. 68 00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:28,160 Speaker 2: The same way. 69 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:31,840 Speaker 6: She wished that process like, even though you're familiar with 70 00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:33,840 Speaker 6: the erie, you were in Cleveland for quite some time. 71 00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:36,040 Speaker 6: You're coming in, you have a job to do, but 72 00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:38,160 Speaker 6: you're trying to earn certain trust with the coaches, whether 73 00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:38,960 Speaker 6: you with the players. 74 00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:40,639 Speaker 2: What's that process been like for you. 75 00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:43,000 Speaker 1: It's just putting your head down and working and knowing 76 00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:45,960 Speaker 1: that what you do is gonna come to light at 77 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:47,160 Speaker 1: the end of the day.

Yeah, 169 00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:14,760 Speaker 7: what has he done to Earth does opportunities. 170 00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:15,400 Speaker 2: I think being consistent. 171 00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:17,880 Speaker 1: I think as far as having versatility that can play 172 00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:20,440 Speaker 1: a wide, tidy end position, can be off the ball 173 00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:24,000 Speaker 1: to play the f position, but also give them some flexibility. 174 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:24,839 Speaker 2: To play an actual fullback spot. 175 00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:26,560 Speaker 1: And so I think the more you can do, the 176 00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:28,600 Speaker 1: more you can digest from a knowledge standpoints, gives a 177 00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:29,040 Speaker 1: chance to. 178 00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:29,720 Speaker 2: Be on the grass more. 179 00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:31,400 Speaker 1: And if you give you more opportunities to get to 180 00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:33,920 Speaker 1: the maximizer by we'll kind of feed you more reps 181 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:34,240 Speaker 1: as well. 182 00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:36,320 Speaker 2: How important is the fullback in the system? What does 183 00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:37,720 Speaker 2: it take to be able to fit that role? 184 00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:40,560 Speaker 1: Those guys are harder five man, I think it's kind 185 00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:43,000 Speaker 1: of a last of a dying breed, a different mentality 186 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,719 Speaker 1: when it comes to how guys are building wired to 187 00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:47,680 Speaker 1: be physical to kind of stick your face in the fan. 188 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:49,920 Speaker 1: But I think as far as being able to force 189 00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:53,080 Speaker 1: guy's hands from a personnel staying point matchup fives. This 190 00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:55,520 Speaker 1: is a matchup based league. So whether they be them 191 00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:58,200 Speaker 1: trying to match Nickel to eleven when you're in twenty one, 192 00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:00,400 Speaker 1: you can run some virsatial things for off, just staying 193 00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:02,520 Speaker 1: pointing a forced guy's fans to you know what, they're 194 00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:04,719 Speaker 1: gonna play base and play man and man colors, playing 195 00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:07,480 Speaker 1: sub and play zone defense, gonna get to give yourself 196 00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:09,880 Speaker 1: a chance to have the chalk rass. 197 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:12,520 Speaker 2: Sorry late to the party here, don't apologize.

So, uh, when I first gut here, 210 00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:40,280 Speaker 1: I wanted to not just as much as I could 211 00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:41,240 Speaker 1: of the. 212 00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:44,120 Speaker 2: Offense in the past kind of where Josh. 213 00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:46,360 Speaker 1: Has built it from from a philosophical standpoint, how we 214 00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:48,760 Speaker 1: communicate language wise and then be able to translate that 215 00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:51,880 Speaker 1: into future ideas. And he gave us a couple opportunities 216 00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:54,560 Speaker 1: throughout the awesome of five players got here to say, 217 00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:56,280 Speaker 1: build a couple cut. 218 00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:58,360 Speaker 2: Up some things you do want to kind of incorporate. 219 00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:00,880 Speaker 1: So we go through what I have, you know, some 220 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,240 Speaker 1: some runs and run actions and drove back pass game, 221 00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:07,400 Speaker 1: and it's been evolving a fluid process. 222 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:08,400 Speaker 11: How do you know when. 223 00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:12,760 Speaker 2: To make that leap in terms of suggesting of you know, 224 00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:14,240 Speaker 2: maybe suggesting and something new. 225 00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:17,640 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm a pretty open and honest, kind of 226 00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:19,360 Speaker 1: direct type of guy. But I think he's done a 227 00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:22,000 Speaker 1: great job of first and forced communicating what we're kind 228 00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:23,960 Speaker 1: of expecting as far as the overall development of our 229 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,200 Speaker 1: staff and our players as well, but giving us a 230 00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:28,320 Speaker 1: window of time to be able to incorporate ideas as well. 231 00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:30,640 Speaker 8: Going back to the fullback question, what do you see 232 00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:32,600 Speaker 8: from brock Lampy so far and what do you think 233 00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:33,560 Speaker 8: he's will potentially be. 234 00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:35,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, again, I mean he's was a very physical player 235 00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:36,280 Speaker 2: in college. 236 00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:38,920 Speaker 1: Was obviously Brussel moved a round a bunch, carried the 237 00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:42,040 Speaker 1: ball at times, but for a lever standpoint being to 238 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:43,520 Speaker 1: come out of his hips, to be aggressive at the 239 00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:45,440 Speaker 1: point of contact, which we won't kind of find out 240 00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:48,320 Speaker 1: fully until we get into the falls, which I'm excited 241 00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:49,640 Speaker 1: about that when that time comes. 242 00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:51,600 Speaker 2: But he's been aggressing along well, learn. 243 00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:54,160 Speaker 1: The offense, and I try to force the entire group 244 00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:57,199 Speaker 1: to learn every single spot. He's kind of been more 245 00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:59,520 Speaker 1: so focused around the fullback position. He's been doing well 246 00:08:59,559 --> 00:08:59,839 Speaker 1: so far. 247 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:03,800 Speaker 7: What full back sometimes see guys confer from defensive line 248 00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:05,840 Speaker 7: offensive line like that. Is that just because there's not 249 00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:08,040 Speaker 7: that many full backs in college right now, or does 250 00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:10,200 Speaker 7: it just take a different mentality that position. 251 00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:11,280 Speaker 2: I think it's a mix of both. 252 00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:13,080 Speaker 1: I think there's there's very few teams you're gonna find 253 00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:14,680 Speaker 1: a cause that actually play with a full back. There's 254 00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:16,640 Speaker 1: very few NFL teams they actually play with a fullback, 255 00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:18,920 Speaker 1: so one they're kind of hard to find. I would say, 256 00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:23,320 Speaker 1: in large they're probably your third fourth string linebacker. They're 257 00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:27,280 Speaker 1: undersized tackle, and they definitely have tot have a certain mentality. 258 00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:29,200 Speaker 1: There's no there's no a fair dodging when they come 259 00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:30,280 Speaker 1: to certain specific players. 260 00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:31,760 Speaker 2: We're playing a fullback position. 261 00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:33,400 Speaker 1: So they got to have the physical tras to do it, 262 00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:35,120 Speaker 1: but also the mentality to be able to be wired 263 00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:36,440 Speaker 1: to be a physical player. 264 00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:38,319 Speaker 11: We have seen some tight ends, you know out here 265 00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:41,640 Speaker 11: again pads on the lining in that way.

In terms of learning his system. I'm 383 00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:57,440 Speaker 2: sure all along the. 384 00:14:57,360 --> 00:14:59,520 Speaker 10: Way they are going to be things that I need 385 00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:02,400 Speaker 10: clarific on or something that I haven't done that way before. 386 00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:05,800 Speaker 10: And he's got about a twenty year catalog of clips 387 00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:06,760 Speaker 10: he can show me to do it. 388 00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:09,040 Speaker 2: So those are helpful when I need to get something 389 00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:11,840 Speaker 2: cleaned up a little late to the party. I'm sure 390 00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:12,400 Speaker 2: you've already been. 391 00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:19,480 Speaker 12: Every day Kyle Williams improvement and understanding what he's supposed 392 00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:21,960 Speaker 12: to be able to do it right now. 393 00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:23,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think every rookie is going to have a 394 00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:24,520 Speaker 2: little ebb and flow. 395 00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:27,200 Speaker 10: You know, as you put some new install in, maybe 396 00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:29,440 Speaker 10: it slows down your play speed a little bit, and 397 00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:32,040 Speaker 10: you gotta kind of make a new mistake. And and 398 00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:34,400 Speaker 10: that's the key with Kyle right now. He has hasn't 399 00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:36,960 Speaker 10: been an air repeater. He might mess something up, but 400 00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:38,840 Speaker 10: he comes back and he fixes it, and he works 401 00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:41,000 Speaker 10: hard to move on to the next mistake, you know. 402 00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:42,800 Speaker 2: And and I think that's going to be part of 403 00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:44,200 Speaker 2: his process the whole way through. 404 00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:47,200 Speaker 10: Really pleased with the work ethic he's shown, and I 405 00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:52,120 Speaker 10: expect him to continue to develop it. A Stris welcome 406 00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:53,640 Speaker 10: us all and all of our ideas. 407 00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:55,560 Speaker 2: You have to like make flash cards that night and 408 00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:57,840 Speaker 2: stuff like that. I did some of that early. Part 409 00:15:57,840 --> 00:15:59,800 Speaker 2: of that's prepping for the players too, you know, wanting 410 00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:02,360 Speaker 2: to eight resources for them to make the resources you 411 00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:04,480 Speaker 2: have to you know, spend the time to put it together. 412 00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:06,600 Speaker 2: So yeah, there's definitely an aspect of that. 413 00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:09,600 Speaker 10: Well, what is the biggest challenge going from one systems 414 00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:12,800 Speaker 10: going out? I guess I think they're challenges throughout, you know, 415 00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:16,600 Speaker 10: and challenges sometimes can be misconstrued is a bad thing, 416 00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:18,520 Speaker 10: you know. I think challenges are good because it gets 417 00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:20,520 Speaker 10: you outside of your comfort difference. So it might be 418 00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:22,200 Speaker 10: the way we do something in the wrung game and 419 00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:24,720 Speaker 10: ask our receivers to block it's different than I'm used to, 420 00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:27,640 Speaker 10: or it may be something that's a rout adjustment. Is 421 00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:29,920 Speaker 10: I'm used to calling it this and I'm work calling 422 00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:32,160 Speaker 10: it something different. But we're all in the same page 423 00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:33,000 Speaker 10: as of staff. 424 00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:34,600 Speaker 2: And we work very, very hard. 425 00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:36,960 Speaker 10: To try to make sure that we're one really in 426 00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:38,320 Speaker 10: a solidified answer. 427 00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:39,760 Speaker 13: As you get to when it comes to that kind 428 00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:42,520 Speaker 13: of stuff, route adjustments, things like that got in the past. 429 00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:45,520 Speaker 13: I think with Josh's offense, a lot is made about 430 00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:48,280 Speaker 13: how complex it is, Like, do you feel that it's 431 00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:51,280 Speaker 13: all complex, more complex than other systems you've worked in, 432 00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:51,840 Speaker 13: you know. 433 00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:55,080 Speaker 10: I think every system has something that you could consider complex, 434 00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:58,080 Speaker 10: whether it's a lot more verbiage in the traditional West 435 00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:01,160 Speaker 10: Coast systems or you know, rout adjustments in this system. 436 00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:03,960 Speaker 10: There's going to be a challenge and something that you 437 00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:05,840 Speaker 10: have to get used to with every single system. So 438 00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:08,720 Speaker 10: I don't see this as any more complex than than 439 00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:09,880 Speaker 10: other systems I've been around. 440 00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:12,959 Speaker 14: You just need to focus your attention eight different areas. 441 00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:16,240 Speaker 14: Stefan Diggs has been in and out throughout voluntary portions. Here, 442 00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:18,840 Speaker 14: Are you getting the feedback that he's doing everything he's 443 00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:20,880 Speaker 14: supposed to be doing in terms of a football standpoint. 444 00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:21,360 Speaker 1: Yeah. 445 00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:23,760 Speaker 10: I stay in contact with Stefan, and you know, I 446 00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:25,840 Speaker 10: have a bit of a history with him, going back 447 00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:28,120 Speaker 10: to our time together in Minnesota, and so I can 448 00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:31,399 Speaker 10: usually get a pretty good gauge if he understands what 449 00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:33,840 Speaker 10: we're trying to get done or you know what, you 450 00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:35,480 Speaker 10: know what I might need to spend a little extra 451 00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:40,159 Speaker 10: time on with him. So I believe he's working hard. 452 00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:42,520 Speaker 2: All right, Thanks so much, appreciate it.
