1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:08,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, welcome to Arizona here. UM it's been, uh, you know,

2
00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:10,119
Speaker 1: so far, a really good setup for us. So you know,

3
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:17,439
Speaker 1: obviously coach Fishes UM been very UM commodating, UM, given

4
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:22,160
Speaker 1: us great access to everything. UM, it's been, it's been great. UM.

5
00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:24,160
Speaker 1: You know, it's a good program here. You know, Jet's

6
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:26,079
Speaker 1: done a really good job of you know, getting things

7
00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:29,440
Speaker 1: going into two years and uh, it's pretty obvious that

8
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:32,320
Speaker 1: you know, everything they do is to prepare you know,

9
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:34,400
Speaker 1: the players to move on to the next level, whether

10
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:38,600
Speaker 1: that's football or you know, wherever they go from here.

11
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:43,360
Speaker 1: But so it's a pro pro style program in a

12
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:45,640
Speaker 1: college environment and that really fits well for us to

13
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:48,879
Speaker 1: come in here and be able to you know, utilize, um,

14
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:54,640
Speaker 1: all the all their resources. So UM, you know, obviously

15
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 1: quick turn around here. UM, you know Vegas and while

16
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 1: since we've seen them, UM, a lot of the same

17
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:06,399
Speaker 1: explosive players that we've we saw in training camp and

18
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:08,119
Speaker 1: maybe a couple other ones that we didn't see. We'll

19
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 1: see how that goes. But you know, UM been in

20
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 1: a lot of close games, a lot of one score games,

21
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:18,280
Speaker 1: a lot of situational football. UM, A lot of those

22
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:20,040
Speaker 1: games could have gone either way. But I think when

23
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:22,560
Speaker 1: you look at them, you see, you know, two very

24
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 1: very explosive players. Offensively in a great quarterback m obviously

25
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 1: a good offensive system. UM. And defensively you know, well,

26
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 1: you know, well put together scheme with coach Graham, don't

27
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:39,679
Speaker 1: give up many big plays. One of the best in

28
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 1: the league at that obviously, have two two of the

29
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 1: pass rushers and a lot of other experienced players. Um.

30
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 1: And kicking game. You know, we've talked about that. These

31
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 1: two kickers are to the biggest legs in the NFL.

32
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 1: Can change field position. Um. You know. Offensively, they plan

33
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 1: a short field I mean pretty much as soon as

34
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 1: they get to the forty yard line there and field

35
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 1: goal range maybe in the forty five so um, you know,

36
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:09,639
Speaker 1: and then the return games something good for him as well.

37
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 1: So um, you know, really really well balanced team. That's

38
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 1: um just you know, a handful of plays away from

39
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:24,960
Speaker 1: being you know, probably in double digit wins. So impressed

40
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 1: impressed watching them on film, and UM, okay, we're gonna

41
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:30,799
Speaker 1: have to play well Sunday, and so that's what we're

42
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 1: preparing to do. Does the work building you did against

43
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:38,800
Speaker 1: them over the summer expedite the preparation process for you

44
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 1: guys at all are in so far? Yeah, without a doubt. Yeah, yeah,

45
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 1: I mean there's certainly game plan things have come along

46
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 1: the way, but that yeah, we're pretty familiar with them,

47
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 1: and we knew that at that time that this is

48
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 1: going to be a short week and to try to

49
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 1: take a little bit extra um preparation time. Not that

50
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:00,120
Speaker 1: we were going to play them then, but just in

51
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:02,960
Speaker 1: general terms, you know, no, they we're gonna show up

52
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 1: later on to try to you know, make sure we

53
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:06,519
Speaker 1: took advantage of the opportunity. I'm sure they did the

54
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 1: same thing. Build the players and talked about liking this,

55
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:13,079
Speaker 1: you know, staying here and and kind of being together

56
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:14,519
Speaker 1: to get their work done this week. How have you

57
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 1: seen it from your perspective where you've done this a

58
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 1: couple of times now in the regular season. Uh, I

59
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:23,080
Speaker 1: think it's a good opportunity. It could be good. Um,

60
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:25,119
Speaker 1: you know, it could also not be good if if

61
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:31,520
Speaker 1: the circumstances didn't um line up properly. But um, it's

62
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 1: a great It's a great opportunity, that's for sure. It's

63
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 1: a great opportunity. And and certainly the facilities and the

64
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 1: set up here um are are really good. So UM,

65
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 1: I think we're all looking forward to it. Yeah, well

66
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 1: they need to take advantage of it. It's good Josh

67
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 1: and Jabe was named Defensive Player of the Week. Yeah,

68
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 1: he's spent on kind of the search here has allowed

69
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 1: him to kind of take up the pace. Yeah. As

70
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 1: I think I said, the biggest thing with Josh is

71
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 1: just him being out there. Um. You know he's always

72
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 1: um put good plays on film, uh and good plays

73
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 1: on the practice field, and he's flashed. Um. It's just

74
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 1: you know, this year, he's been able to stay out

75
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 1: there on a consistent basis and that's allowed him to

76
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 1: continue to move ahead, UM and and build on his repertoire,

77
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 1: build his communication and execution with his teammates on pass

78
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 1: rush games and communication and you know, drops and coverage

79
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 1: adjustments and things like that which he's involved into a degree.

80
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:31,840
Speaker 1: And UM, just doing that on a consistent basis, day

81
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 1: after day, week after week, that that definitely piles up

82
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 1: and um, you know makes it that's splits up a

83
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:42,480
Speaker 1: second faster, whether it's your reactions, communication, anticipation. I think

84
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 1: that's really been the biggest things he's been out there since. UM,

85
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:48,479
Speaker 1: you know, started the off season program, all through training

86
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 1: camp and and uh, you know all the weeks in

87
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 1: the regular season, and that's wasn't really the case last

88
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 1: two years. I think that's that's been a big thing.

89
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 1: He's always worked hard, and he's always done everything you've

90
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:01,279
Speaker 1: asked him to do. He's been great to coach. But

91
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:06,840
Speaker 1: I think just his availability this year has affected his productions.

92
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:11,280
Speaker 1: Watch he's like a running back that does everything well,

93
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:14,680
Speaker 1: Yeah he does. He's so Lea's league and rushing you know,

94
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 1: so UM strong, tough balance, tough kid to tackle. It's

95
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 1: get good contact balance, UM, very powerful guy, has good patience, UM,

96
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 1: you know, seize the whole, sees sees lanes and and

97
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 1: and as we saw his breakaway speed UM. And he's

98
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 1: been able to you know, go to the distance and

99
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, create some explosive runs, not just

100
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:40,600
Speaker 1: the five and six yarders, but he's had some ad

101
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 1: some home runs too. So you know, he's got that

102
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 1: kind of ability runs inside, runs outside, UM and has

103
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 1: a good vision UM and get good contact balance. He

104
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 1: gets a lot of two, three, four extra yards after

105
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 1: the first guy hits him, just because of his ability

106
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,919
Speaker 1: to UM, you know, play a good pad level and

107
00:05:56,920 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 1: and you know played him strong and has good ball security. Man. Say,

108
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 1: that's another great thing about him as he taketical care

109
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 1: of the football as their entire team does. But I

110
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 1: mean they fumbled, I mean they don't fumble. I mean

111
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:11,160
Speaker 1: all he barely find a fumble on film bill. Do

112
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:15,599
Speaker 1: you anticipates starting the I our clock on Christian Barmore?

113
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:21,840
Speaker 1: We'll see it's possibility anything. Yep. Yeah, we got a

114
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 1: few guys that are kind of in that category. Here.

115
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 1: We'll take a look at him. Um, you know a

116
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 1: little bit for practice and see where we think they are.

117
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:32,279
Speaker 1: Besides making kicks. What has Nick Folk brought to the

118
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:36,480
Speaker 1: organization since he's been here. Yeah, Nick's a really consistent player,

119
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 1: a really consistent guy. It's the same guy every day

120
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:41,839
Speaker 1: when he walks into the room. Um, and you know

121
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 1: he's very confident. But um, he's got a great deal

122
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 1: of humility too. He's a great teammate. He supports everybody. Um,

123
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,120
Speaker 1: but he's no matter how big the situation is, he's

124
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:55,039
Speaker 1: got a real calmness about him. Uh. And that's I

125
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:58,039
Speaker 1: think a good thing. Calm but confident. Um, but he

126
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 1: doesn't get um you know too high or too low,

127
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:04,840
Speaker 1: but he's very consistent and and you know, so it's

128
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 1: important he works on the important things, doesn't get distracted

129
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:09,280
Speaker 1: by a lot of stuff that any end doesn't really matter.

130
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 1: I think that's a good influence too. Sometimes that can

131
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 1: be a distraction. You get caught up in some that

132
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 1: that doesn't make any difference for him. He's he's on

133
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 1: the important things. But he's a great teammate. And uh,

134
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 1: it's a ton of respect for him in that in

135
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 1: that locker room in our organization. So you kind of

136
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 1: here earlier. What's it like to be in the house

137
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 1: that Nick can, Bruski and Gronk helped build on this trip, Yeah,

138
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 1: and here a couple of times before. But it's great.

139
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 1: You know, it's college campus stadium, and there's quite a

140
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 1: few names up there that, uh, I've coached. It's probably

141
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 1: gotta be fifteen ten, fifteen. I'm up there at various

142
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 1: points along the way. Some of them you kind of

143
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 1: forget that they were Wildcats. But you know, we got

144
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 1: JJ and UM and Nick obviously on the team now.

145
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 1: But you know, it's quite a few guys up there,

146
00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 1: you know, and there are other guys that would come

147
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:01,240
Speaker 1: down here and worked at a FINA. Guys like that that.

148
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 1: You know, we spent a lot of time with it.

149
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 1: I didn't end up coaching, but you know had and

150
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 1: then I'll say the coaches that have been here as well.

151
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 1: So this is a good uh, it's a good connection,

152
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 1: good nice nice set up, um, you know up by

153
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 1: the hotel, I mean just the surrounding areas. It's pretty

154
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 1: pretty spectacular as you prepare to face the raiders obviously

155
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 1: familiar face and Josh. I was curious as we stand

156
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 1: here today just making the transition without Josh offensively, how

157
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 1: much harder or how hard has that been relative to

158
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:40,079
Speaker 1: maybe what you thought it would be. Yeah, again, we've

159
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 1: talked about that, we've been this transition every year. Has

160
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:47,679
Speaker 1: this one been harder than others in the past three

161
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 1: Every year is a different year. So they're not hard,

162
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 1: they're not easy, they're just you take it as it comes.

163
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:58,839
Speaker 1: You had jet Fish in your building for about a

164
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 1: year or so, did you see any traits in him

165
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 1: that would lead you to think he'd be a successful

166
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:05,840
Speaker 1: head coach? And if so, what what were some of

167
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:08,040
Speaker 1: those treats? Yeah, I mean I've known coach Fisher quite

168
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:11,800
Speaker 1: a while and UM yeah, he asked me to, uh,

169
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 1: you know, to support him on this, which I did,

170
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:17,319
Speaker 1: and I spoke to the president and uh yeah, I

171
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:19,960
Speaker 1: support him very strongly here. Um, I think he's got

172
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 1: a great you know background, um, knowledge base. He understands,

173
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:26,120
Speaker 1: you know, all the things about football, not just the

174
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:29,840
Speaker 1: XS and os, but he's a great teacher. He understands,

175
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 1: you know, how to put a team together and all

176
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:35,080
Speaker 1: the things that that go into that. And you know,

177
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 1: we've had long conversations about that. He's helped me a

178
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 1: lot because he's been with other organizations, seeing other things

179
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 1: at different points in his career, both college and professionally.

180
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 1: And and U you know, our friendship has been great.

181
00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 1: It's might benefit of me, weren't benefited him. I don't know,

182
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 1: you know, because he's got a good perspective on things

183
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 1: that um in the places he's been and some of

184
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:58,080
Speaker 1: the other people that he's been with, uh Like, I'll

185
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:01,360
Speaker 1: probably ask him more questions and he's asked me. So. UM.

186
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:04,959
Speaker 1: I think he's very well, not only qualified, but has

187
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 1: has a great deal of experience in every aspect of

188
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 1: the game, from preparing players to go into the NFL

189
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:14,840
Speaker 1: to recruiting, to developing players, to you know, developing his staff,

190
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:17,560
Speaker 1: to you know, create an energy and enthusiasm for the

191
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 1: team and in the community, you know, all the other

192
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 1: you know, some of those social aspects that go with it,

193
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 1: you know, families and um, that kind of thing, especially

194
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 1: in college recruiting. UM, you know, I think he's always

195
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:32,200
Speaker 1: done a good job of that. And every time he

196
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 1: was in college and I asked him about players, it

197
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:38,079
Speaker 1: was all he knew, you know, everything about the kids, family,

198
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 1: his parents, his coaches, his um you know, what kind

199
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:44,960
Speaker 1: of system they ran in high school and so forth

200
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:46,720
Speaker 1: and so on. It was very involved with that, not

201
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 1: just you know, just like a recommendation about the guy's

202
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:52,720
Speaker 1: skill set. It was, you know, way deeper than that.

203
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 1: So I've always been very impressed with him, and um,

204
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 1: you know, followed him here the last couple of years,

205
00:10:57,800 --> 00:10:59,559
Speaker 1: and you know, he's done a he's done a really

206
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:04,080
Speaker 1: good job putting this program in a competitive position. Question guys,

207
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 1: Cammerdrome was elevated, you know, the night, but ultimately inactive,

208
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 1: and he's just talking about I went into that decision

209
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 1: and what you've seen from him and practiced the last

210
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 1: few months when we haven't been able to watch him. Yeah,

211
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:15,319
Speaker 1: Camp's been Um, you know, Camp's had a good year. Uh.

212
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 1: You know, he missed a little bit of time at

213
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:19,320
Speaker 1: the beginning of the year and then you know, had

214
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:21,959
Speaker 1: a good stretch there and then, um, you know, I

215
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 1: missed a few practices. Um, I don't know about a

216
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 1: month ago or so somewhere in there, and then it's

217
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:31,000
Speaker 1: kind of you know, started to reclimb from there, and

218
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:35,080
Speaker 1: so UM, yeah, he's definitely on a you know, on

219
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:38,719
Speaker 1: a positive track. UM. So you know, we weren't sure

220
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:40,439
Speaker 1: how it was going to go there, and we want

221
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:44,720
Speaker 1: to protect ourselves on that um against Arizona. But um,

222
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 1: you know, he's done a good job for us, and

223
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 1: you know, if he can continue to stay out there

224
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 1: and and work hard and improved and you know, maybe

225
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:55,960
Speaker 1: he'll get an opportunity here before we're done. All right, great,

226
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 1: all right, thank you,
