Speaker 1: Welcome into Raven's press Pass. Today we heard from the
Speaker 1: Ravens three coordinators and also Raven's past game coordinator slash
Speaker 1: assistant head coach Chris Hewitt. Let's start with offensive coordinator
Speaker 1: Todd Munkin.
Speaker 2: He seems truly early on jackson infusion on to the field.
Speaker 3: We feelt good to see him back out.
Speaker 2: There with you guys. No, it's great. It's great having
Speaker 2: him there. Uh, I'm not tight into you know where
Speaker 2: he's at at this moment, but it was great to
Speaker 2: have him back in meetings and on the field.
Speaker 3: So we saw him go in in about an hour.
Speaker 3: Was that what if you're kind of expected.
Speaker 2: Or I don't know, you'll have to ask coach or
Speaker 2: the medicals have I know he was in meetings and
Speaker 2: I know he's out there at the start.
Speaker 3: I know we take controller, all right.
Speaker 2: I know we can't control of sex, but with him out,
Speaker 2: does it change what you have here? And you feel
Speaker 2: behind not having no I mean we had all off season.
Speaker 2: Lamar was a part of that, you know, in our
Speaker 2: off season, but it was great for the other quarter
Speaker 2: to get the work. You know that that's a part
Speaker 2: of it. So it's great having him back today, But
Speaker 2: I don't feel behind. We didn't stop. We still installed,
Speaker 2: We're still going through the installs.
Speaker 4: I think incorporate the Ravens Analytics department in your game
Speaker 4: planning and offensive scheme.
Speaker 2: Well, they're a huge part of it, you know. And
Speaker 2: in terms of where it's gone over the last few years,
Speaker 2: terms of information, the power of information that's out there,
Speaker 2: I think information is unbelievably useful. What you do with
Speaker 2: it is up to you where the situation arises, whether
Speaker 2: it be by personnel, whether it be by game situations.
Speaker 2: But and we've got some really really smart people in
Speaker 2: those apartments that I think give us an edge, it seems.
Speaker 5: Assuming back to La Bar for a second, assuming you're
Speaker 5: gonna work him back in, how did he look like,
Speaker 5: you know, how did his you know, football is look
Speaker 5: in the ana?
Speaker 2: In the meetings, he was great. And we are going
Speaker 2: to work him back in, for sure. You know, he's
Speaker 2: gonna I know him being kind of a smartest now,
Speaker 2: but he's gonna get worked back in. He was great
Speaker 2: in the meetings.
Speaker 3: He was great.
Speaker 2: You know, again you'll have to ask him how he feels,
Speaker 2: but he was great. He was great in the meetings
Speaker 2: and when we were on the field at the start,
Speaker 2: said he was feeling good.
Speaker 5: It seems like some of the best catches so far
Speaker 5: this week had been moving from shod.
Speaker 4: How important do you think that is for him, especially
Speaker 4: even how he started camp late last year to get
Speaker 4: the confidence.
Speaker 2: Role in roll, Well, you'd have to ask him. In
Speaker 2: terms of for him, I think he's always had a
Speaker 2: belief in himself as a player. I think it's good
Speaker 2: for all of us quarterbacks, you know, collectively as a team.
Speaker 2: We're expecting a big year from Rashad. He once he
Speaker 2: got fully healthy, which wasn't for a while last year.
Speaker 2: It's hurt, got healthy, got nicked up again, came on.
Speaker 2: We're expecting great things from him and he is from himself.
Speaker 2: Got Tom.
Speaker 6: I'm speaking about the receiver Zay last year obviously, it's
Speaker 6: such a big part of the audience that.
Speaker 2: He did a lot.
Speaker 7: Haven't you seen him short you exilarated and assisted and
Speaker 7: so far.
Speaker 2: Well, you could see it over the year. You could
Speaker 2: see it throughout the year, his development, his confidence, his
Speaker 2: ability to be engaged. I think that's the biggest thing
Speaker 2: is you can see that with players as they gain experience,
Speaker 2: they're confident to be engaged on the field and meetings,
Speaker 2: ask questions, have ideas, have thoughts, why can't we do
Speaker 2: it this way? What about this? What about this? When
Speaker 2: you're younger, you're just trying to learn it. It's hard
Speaker 2: to be engaged when you can't. You're not sure yourself
Speaker 2: that that's where he's really come a long way. You
Speaker 2: can really see that saw in the off season, really
Speaker 2: being engaged in the offense. That deed, here's Ruth throughout
Speaker 2: the Sandia. Have you seen a set example for their players?
Speaker 3: But what's the.
Speaker 2: Who else? You see it every day. You know, it's
Speaker 2: just one of those things you hear about. You hear
Speaker 2: about why he's been able to sustain so long, keep
Speaker 2: himself in great shape, be able to make it through
Speaker 2: the year. And you just see it every day. You
Speaker 2: see in the weight room, you see it in meetings,
Speaker 2: his engagement, you see it on the field. I don't
Speaker 2: know the routine that he has off the field, what
Speaker 2: he doesn't take care of his body, but it must
Speaker 2: be leap must be off the chart because I've I've
Speaker 2: only seen the guy that works hard every day and
Speaker 2: prepares himself to be the best.
Speaker 8: Being the older guy and the receiver.
Speaker 6: H have you seen where they like leadership trying to
Speaker 6: take over an.
Speaker 4: Tend to impact over him.
Speaker 2: Really hasn't changed per se. He was like that last year.
Speaker 2: Obviously with Odell moving on, that changes a little bit,
Speaker 2: you know, in terms of Nelly being back. But the
Speaker 2: way that I see it, because I'm not in the
Speaker 2: receiver room, the way that I see it is the
Speaker 2: same that I said about some of the older guys.
Speaker 2: He's engaged in all of the meetings.
Speaker 3: He's engaged.
Speaker 2: If he doesn't understand, he asks if he's got a
Speaker 2: better way of doing it. He talks about it. That
Speaker 2: to me is the number one part of leadership or
Speaker 2: being an older player as seeing the big picture and
Speaker 2: then relaying that to the rest of players.
Speaker 5: Reoffensive Lindman potentially having to be replaced, is it.
Speaker 4: Your preference to kind of set a first unit and
Speaker 4: build from that And.
Speaker 7: How much will kind of Joe Gee's voice help dictate
Speaker 7: what that alternative looks like.
Speaker 2: Oh, Joe's got a big voice in that, and we've
Speaker 2: got talent. Otherwise we wouldn't have made the moves we did.
Speaker 2: I mean, we're still in the business. I'm not trying
Speaker 2: to be as smart as we aren't still in the
Speaker 2: business of winning. So the part of that is that
Speaker 2: we think those guys can play. We just need to
Speaker 2: let him go play, and they're going to continue develop
Speaker 2: and get better. All of those young players that have
Speaker 2: been draft picks that eventually get that opportunity. Every player
Speaker 2: at one time that happens, right, whether it was Tyler
Speaker 2: at center or Ronnie other players, they just need the opportunity.
Speaker 2: We're excited to let those guys go play and continue
Speaker 2: to develop. They're only gonna get better and we're gonna
Speaker 2: continue to get better with them.
Speaker 4: Your background or receivers coach, what have you seen from
Speaker 4: the league cunning Campasy's transition to.
Speaker 2: The new position as he's done a great job, further
Speaker 2: along than what I would have thought. You know, when
Speaker 2: we moved him there, we're like, Okay, here's a really
Speaker 2: good athlete, really smart, gets football, smile on his face
Speaker 2: every day, gonna get better in the meetings, but really
Speaker 2: had some natural route running instincts, battle and balance and
Speaker 2: body control that I really didn't think he had. I
Speaker 2: mean it really has done a great job. I mean
Speaker 2: really has How we're excited for him and for us.
Speaker 2: You know, because when you move there there is some anxiety,
Speaker 2: you know what's next. He's done a great jobs like.
Speaker 7: Quick one Gatis and the time of he's out practice
Speaker 7: it's almost like a game. It's always game speed for him.
Speaker 7: I mean, have you ead how much does that do
Speaker 7: you think hope a player in that? And do you
Speaker 7: think sometimes it you know, sometimes might hurt him all
Speaker 7: of it because he's always.
Speaker 2: Going through his place. Oh, it's it's hard to find
Speaker 2: a more competitive player than Mark, not only winning, but contributing,
Speaker 2: catching the ball, playing hard, holding others accountable. I mean,
Speaker 2: he's in a rare category of that. To me, that's
Speaker 2: what makes him the player that he is. Sure he's athletic,
Speaker 2: Sure he's got great ball skills, Sure he's got great
Speaker 2: football savvy. But the guy loves playing football. You see it.
Speaker 2: He competes every day. I mean he's full speed, he
Speaker 2: wants the ball every play, sometimes to a fault, but
Speaker 2: he wants it every play, holds himself to a really
Speaker 2: high standard. Again, he's in elite category. A put you
Speaker 2: guys in an.
Speaker 3: Ague the potus and how much more is the people.
Speaker 2: Kyle Guinibom to play? And I guess how well student
Speaker 2: is if they're going to handle.
Speaker 8: That was musibility.
Speaker 2: Oh we were doing some of that, just not as often.
Speaker 2: And so between the quarterbacks and Tyler have been great
Speaker 2: off season and we have to be lead at snapcount.
Speaker 2: That's a part of it. We have to be good
Speaker 2: at cadence and we're gonna make sure that we are
Speaker 2: continue that throughout the year. It's been a great off season,
Speaker 2: really has been in terms of where we want to
Speaker 2: go from year one to year two as an offense.
Speaker 2: Really good first year, got a chance of being better
Speaker 2: this year.
Speaker 8: Next up.
Speaker 1: Defensive coordinator Zach Orr.
Speaker 8: How y'all doing?
Speaker 3: Y'all doing all right?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 8: Alright, that's good? Hey, what's going on?
Speaker 2: It look like?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 5: It was.
Speaker 8: It was a good day, man, it was a good day.
Speaker 8: I think the great thing about it's a lot to
Speaker 8: improve on.
Speaker 9: I know we can't wait to attack the tape, look
Speaker 9: at the things that we did well and correct the
Speaker 9: things that we got to get better at. But I'm
Speaker 9: just proud of how the guys came out the last
Speaker 9: four days and attack training camp and we nowhere near
Speaker 9: where we need to be at, nowhere near where we're
Speaker 9: going to be at.
Speaker 8: But it's a good start, Zach.
Speaker 5: What kind of poo's does it give the other side
Speaker 5: of the ball defense? When qb ones out there, Lamar's
Speaker 5: out there for the first time. I know you only
Speaker 5: did you know a little bit of team stuff, But
Speaker 5: what kind of boost does the defense there?
Speaker 9: I mean, we get a boost every single day, Like
Speaker 9: I'm trying to I tell people all the time. I
Speaker 9: tell our defense all the time that our offense is
Speaker 9: one of the best offices in the National Football League.
Speaker 9: So we get great work every single day. And I
Speaker 9: know they feel the same way. So we definitely get
Speaker 9: a boost. Obviously, when you're a defender and you see
Speaker 9: Lamar Jackson oppose from you, the reign and the MVP,
Speaker 9: it definitely gives you going a little bit more. But
Speaker 9: our guys are fired up every single day, no matter
Speaker 9: who's out here exactly.
Speaker 7: They reported a couple of other defensive players from days
Speaker 7: and they say, you know, last year defense is really good,
Speaker 7: but we think we.
Speaker 2: Can get better. I mean, have you seen that kind
Speaker 2: of mindset already?
Speaker 8: Definitely, man, I definitely see that mindset.
Speaker 9: We always say either getting better, you're getting worse, and
Speaker 9: you set a standard, then you try to set a
Speaker 9: new standard and raise the bar. So the guys have
Speaker 9: taken that on full, full head of steam, and like
Speaker 9: I said, they approached these last four days has been
Speaker 9: great and they shown that.
Speaker 2: In pruss Addy Jackson latest second.
Speaker 9: Man, he's he's a he could see that he's played
Speaker 9: a lot of football and he's made a lot of players.
Speaker 9: I think his first day he had a pick six.
Speaker 9: He's a real smart player. He still can play, can
Speaker 9: still move at a high level, and uh he's picking
Speaker 9: up the defense pretty well so far. So you know,
Speaker 9: I think, just like a lot of guys in that room,
Speaker 9: he's gonna be able to help us sad.
Speaker 8: You know, Travis Jets and then Michael S.
Speaker 1: Pierce plays a really high level last year, and you
Speaker 1: think there's an opportunity for Travis to take a little
Speaker 1: bit more of Laton layer man.
Speaker 9: I think I think both of those guys a heck
Speaker 9: of a players. Obviously, Travis is going into year three.
Speaker 9: I mean, we expect big things out of big draft.
Speaker 8: With the D line.
Speaker 9: It's great to have guys who can rotate their in
Speaker 9: and out keep those guys fresh, and I think our
Speaker 9: D line is one of the best in the national
Speaker 9: Football League, so and Michael Pearson Travis are a big
Speaker 9: part of that. But I think both of those guys
Speaker 9: are gona play a lot of great football for us
Speaker 9: this year.
Speaker 2: Sorry, Yoah. Kyle yesterday mentioned that, you know, you get fam.
Speaker 6: As a as a coordinated, a lot of autonomy and
Speaker 6: kind of a lot of curious why that's the cases
Speaker 6: of how it can manifests itself from your sprit.
Speaker 9: I mean, we got a lot of smart guys. We
Speaker 9: got a lot of high IQ football players. So the
Speaker 9: more you can do, the better. We talk about that
Speaker 9: for every position. If you alignback, you need to know
Speaker 9: both spots. If you're a dB, need to know every
Speaker 9: spot in the secondary. If you're upfront, you need to
Speaker 9: know every spot up front. So the more you can do,
Speaker 9: the better you can do. And it's a credit to
Speaker 9: those guys man, the higher IQ they have, the more
Speaker 9: they can handle. So, uh, you can move guys in
Speaker 9: different spots based off of who you're going against.
Speaker 8: It just helps everybody out.
Speaker 9: So we're getting good work at that right now and
Speaker 9: training camp of trying guys in different spots and seeing
Speaker 9: how they all fits together. Zach, do you run the
Speaker 9: risk with so many guys that can do so many
Speaker 9: things well of maybe doing too many things and maybe
Speaker 9: not doing something really really well.
Speaker 8: Try to balance that. Now, Yeah, you definitely try to
Speaker 8: balance it.
Speaker 9: And I think once we start getting into a game
Speaker 9: week and game planning, the menu is gonna be tightened
Speaker 9: down and guys gonna know exactly what they're gonna do
Speaker 9: at uh, at that particular spot. But that's why you
Speaker 9: do it early so they can you kind of stress
Speaker 9: them early so they can get used to playing a
Speaker 9: different spots and when the regular season comes and.
Speaker 8: The game plans tight it's just second nature.
Speaker 6: For him exactly when you're a neffeld tauts Zig think
Speaker 6: you have a lot of talent that he means Hamilton
Speaker 6: or the left and I think Wiggins, I mean you're upkating.
Speaker 2: In other courts, blowing you see that.
Speaker 5: It's just a rising always just a competition.
Speaker 3: Between all of this talent.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I think it's it's it's a great competition. It's
Speaker 9: a great problem to have. I mean, all those guys
Speaker 9: can play in there, and all those guys probably will
Speaker 9: play in there. I mean you've seen that the last
Speaker 9: couple of years for us, that different guys have been
Speaker 9: at that nickel spot. So it really just depends on
Speaker 9: what the game plan is for that specific situation or
Speaker 9: that specific game.
Speaker 2: What have you seen from Blink Cam.
Speaker 3: You don't come off that injury last year and this year.
Speaker 9: Man Malik Ham is one of the hardest workers in
Speaker 9: the building and he's came in since day one as
Speaker 9: a UDF A. Last year, obviously, you know he made
Speaker 9: the team. It was an unfortunate injury that he had.
Speaker 9: But he looks just like he picked up where he
Speaker 9: left off last year. He looks explosive, looks strong. I'm
Speaker 9: excited to see him once we get the pads on
Speaker 9: here next practice and then in the preseason games.
Speaker 8: But Malie Cam, He's He's a real dude.
Speaker 3: Don Phil will Ways.
Speaker 2: Had a real strong start to count.
Speaker 7: You know, how big would it be for this defensive
Speaker 7: you getting a big season from Adolf.
Speaker 8: Fer Man, It'll be big, Man, It'll be big.
Speaker 9: I think dopph has continued to got better every single
Speaker 9: every single year. And when you watch the film Man,
Speaker 9: it's a lot of people in this league who cannot
Speaker 9: do what he can do on the edge.
Speaker 8: Man.
Speaker 9: I mean, that guy is so talented and he made
Speaker 9: a lot of plays last year, so we expect him
Speaker 9: make even more plays this year. And the better Daph is,
Speaker 9: the better we're gonna be as a defender. And he
Speaker 9: knows that and he's been put in the work. So
Speaker 9: he's looking better than he did last year so far,
Speaker 9: and I'm excited to see where you're gonna take it.
Speaker 8: You Kee, you keep nick the league as a as
Speaker 8: a free down.
Speaker 2: Well here, y'all played a lotto last two years.
Speaker 3: A lot of he's spent up five years in a row.
Speaker 8: Where do you see did you see him place with
Speaker 8: the gas in this season? Yeah? I mean I see
Speaker 8: a place for for Dome. I see a place for Nickel.
Speaker 9: Like I said, all that stuff depends on you know,
Speaker 9: who we're going against, what the situation is, and what
Speaker 9: we have to accomplish as a defense to to help
Speaker 9: our team win games.
Speaker 2: Zach, who's don clown? Do you think I pick up
Speaker 2: that production as far as I mean?
Speaker 9: I think I think the production could be made by
Speaker 9: a lot of those guys, A lot of candidates in
Speaker 9: that room. Specifically, Obviously you got David Ajabo and we
Speaker 9: got Kyle van noid back which helped out uh Doff.
Speaker 9: Expect him have a big year. T Rob malik Ham,
Speaker 9: I mean a lot of guys. But I don't think
Speaker 9: the production just has to come from that room. I mean,
Speaker 9: like Sad you mentioned Travis Jones earlier, you know, Matta BK,
Speaker 9: Michael Pierce, Brody Washington, I mean that whole front, the backers, blitzes.
Speaker 9: I think we could make that that production up in
Speaker 9: a lot of different ways.
Speaker 2: Anybody surprised you so far?
Speaker 8: In a good way?
Speaker 9: A man, I think it's a talented roster, so I'm
Speaker 9: not I'm me for honestly, I'm not really surprised in
Speaker 9: in any type of way.
Speaker 8: Now.
Speaker 9: I think once we start, you know, getting the pads
Speaker 9: on and and really start getting to some real real football,
Speaker 9: I think guys will start to maybe separate themselves and
Speaker 9: we'll be able to see.
Speaker 4: Zach ovis you high standards for linebacker play? High stands
Speaker 4: for and Baltimore for linebacker play? Do you feel like
Speaker 4: Trent and Simpson's ready to hit the ground running week
Speaker 4: one as a starting as a starting linebacker.
Speaker 9: Next to re quests, Man, I mean, I think I
Speaker 9: think he's ready, along with a lot of the guys. Man,
Speaker 9: I think Eric and those guys have done a great
Speaker 9: job of building depth and building playmakers in that room.
Speaker 9: Trent has done a great job in training camp, So
Speaker 9: has Malik Harrison, so has Josh Ross, so has Chris Board.
Speaker 9: I mean, so those guys, I think any of those
Speaker 9: guys we confident. One of those guys in there. You know,
Speaker 9: obviously Trent. He showed a lot last year and we're
Speaker 9: excited about him. But that's a talented room.
Speaker 1: Next is Special Teams coordinator Chris Horton.
Speaker 10: Good to see everyone today. I hope you guys are
Speaker 10: all doing well. It's been a good four days for
Speaker 10: our guys. We came out here. You know, we're just
Speaker 10: kind of getting back into into the swing of things.
Speaker 10: We've we've hit you know, four different phases over the
Speaker 10: four days, and it's really just time for us to
Speaker 10: kind of see where we left off our recall and
Speaker 10: then just get our guys out there so we can
Speaker 10: continue to work and we can continue to get better.
Speaker 10: And that's what we're looking forward to do throughout this
Speaker 10: training camp as we go forward and get ready, because
Speaker 10: we're looking, we're looking. We know we got the preseason
Speaker 10: game coming up, so we're just trying to build to
Speaker 10: that get our guys in the best possible positions so.
Speaker 3: We can go play well when that time comes.
Speaker 2: Chris, how much fun has this offseason been with such
Speaker 2: a radical change and the kickoff and you can just
Speaker 2: approach it in a lot of different ways to kind
Speaker 2: of just get in the labor figure out that's what
Speaker 2: to do.
Speaker 10: Uh, you know, it actually has been pretty fun, you know,
Speaker 10: just just watching something different and trying to uh come
Speaker 10: up with the best plan of what what fits, what
Speaker 10: we do you know, taken from from from that game
Speaker 10: and and what those players did. Okay, Uh, what are
Speaker 10: we gonna pull from it that's gonna that's gonna benefit us,
Speaker 10: and just trying to figure out how to gain an advantage.
Speaker 10: And I think over time we're gonna figure those things out.
Speaker 10: But it's been it's been fun, you know, just up
Speaker 10: there just kind of grinding it out, putting together different schemes. Well,
Speaker 10: we've only had we had six days to spring to
Speaker 10: kind of work those things. That's not a lot of time, right,
Speaker 10: and it's it's kind of.
Speaker 3: Uh in shorts and T shirts. So as the pads
Speaker 3: start to come on, we'll start to find out a
Speaker 3: little bit more about the play.
Speaker 7: Justin you talking about this you a new kickout. He
Speaker 7: said that in watching you know the XFL that they
Speaker 7: look like kickers were more involved in some of the
Speaker 7: tackling part of it. Have you guys, I mean, are
Speaker 7: you do you think that's part of you? Do you
Speaker 7: agree with that or are there any thoughts if there
Speaker 7: is the kickers more involved in tackling of not using
Speaker 7: Justin in that situations?
Speaker 10: Uh, you know, I think we're gonna use like but
Speaker 10: we have we have guys, Uh you know where we
Speaker 10: got the benefit of having two guys that can't kick off.
Speaker 10: But as far as like kickers being more involved in
Speaker 10: a tackle, and I watched all those plays too, I
Speaker 10: think the guys that wanted to be involved got involved.
Speaker 10: I think the kickers that didn't want to get involved
Speaker 10: they didn't. They didn't get involved. And I and it's
Speaker 10: gonna always come back down to, well, how well are
Speaker 10: the other ten guys covering the kick? Are they doing
Speaker 10: things to gain an advantage? And if that's the case,
Speaker 10: then and.
Speaker 3: I could guarantee you the kicker will not be involved
Speaker 3: in making the play.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 10: The kickers got to run a long way in order
Speaker 10: to go make a play between the thirty and the
Speaker 10: thirty five yard line.
Speaker 3: That's probably where he's making the play at.
Speaker 10: He's really got to be trying to get involved in
Speaker 10: the play, in my opinion, to go make a play.
Speaker 5: What freaking.
Speaker 1: Looking at the.
Speaker 2: Tetris Adiante hards bringing through the turn games.
Speaker 3: Especially with the you know, I mean Deontay is uh,
Speaker 3: he's a he's a special player.
Speaker 10: I mean he's here. He's here for a reason. He's
Speaker 10: here because of his pedigree and what he's done in
Speaker 10: this league. We know, we all know what he can
Speaker 10: do with the ball in his hands, and I think
Speaker 10: this play, this play fits him, fits him well.
Speaker 3: It's a lot of space, it's a big field, it's
Speaker 3: a big field play. So we're just looking forward to
Speaker 3: really with all of our returners back.
Speaker 10: There and just seeing, you know, how they develop, what
Speaker 10: do they do well within the schemes we're gonna put
Speaker 10: out there.
Speaker 8: Would you look at the timeline of camp and the
Speaker 8: press games.
Speaker 10: Are you gonna be seeing different approaches and kickoff and
Speaker 10: kickoff return or do you feel like you have the
Speaker 10: strategy in place and you're just gonna be fine changing.
Speaker 3: I wouldn't say right now that we have the strategy
Speaker 3: and play.
Speaker 8: I don't.
Speaker 10: I don't know if anyone can really say that after
Speaker 10: you know, a spring of football. But as we go
Speaker 10: through this thing, we'll start to come up with ideas
Speaker 10: and we'll see again what works. What can we truly
Speaker 10: do when when the pads are on and blocking and
Speaker 10: angles and things like that.
Speaker 3: We have a pretty good idea what we're gonna do.
Speaker 10: But I mean, if we're gonna do it, then we
Speaker 10: need to practice these things against other opponents, right, So
Speaker 10: we and those things will carry over and as the
Speaker 10: season goes on, we'll probably continue to be tweaking things.
Speaker 3: Oh we like this, we could actually do this. We
Speaker 3: hadn't shown it, but we've seen it.
Speaker 2: Let's do this.
Speaker 3: So we're gonna have options.
Speaker 5: Yeah, along those lines, like preseason games on magic just
Speaker 5: those can test Jase's examples, trial and errors of things.
Speaker 10: You guys, I think it's gonna be a little it's
Speaker 10: gonna be a little bit of both. It's gonna be
Speaker 10: what do we do well in and let's go run
Speaker 10: this against the opponent. And if we do that well,
Speaker 10: then we can put that in our back pocket and say, okay,
Speaker 10: let's let's expand on what we did well and then
Speaker 10: practice more, and then when we go play the next opponent,
Speaker 10: let's try to incorporate this.
Speaker 3: That's that's how I see it. That's the only way
Speaker 3: to get better.
Speaker 10: That's the only way to know who and what you're
Speaker 10: truly gonna be when you line up on Thursday night
Speaker 10: against Kansas City.
Speaker 1: Lastly is assistant head coach slash pass game coordinator Chris Hewitt.

Speaker 6: Hopefully a lot of those that's answer your question right there.
Speaker 6: Hopefully get a lot of those.
Speaker 8: Just sort of the energy of these guys to start camp.
Speaker 8: You think of our futs maybe something that we'll see
Speaker 8: a lot of in the season. We don't even think
Speaker 8: this energy is well.
Speaker 6: I'll tell you this. I'll give I give a lot
Speaker 6: of credit to Eric and and and his staff are
Speaker 6: putting this roster together. We've got a lot of talented
Speaker 6: guys back there, and you know, we got we got
Speaker 6: we got we got length, we got speed, We've got
Speaker 6: guys and pit bulls, we got we got it all,
Speaker 6: you know, guys who can come up and tackle. We
Speaker 6: we're very very talented group back there.
Speaker 5: This is a.
Speaker 9: More how does that.
Speaker 5: Things to come up to the feelings?
Speaker 8: But what you can do, the things to go to
Speaker 8: long we do about except looking, But how does.
Speaker 5: That things have come off?
Speaker 6: I don't I don't really think that it changes any
Speaker 6: anything more than what we've been doing over the last
Speaker 6: couple of years. We've just got a lot more talent
Speaker 6: and a lot more depth of where we can do
Speaker 6: some things. But as far as changing this or that now,
Speaker 6: I really don't see that. Coyle's to be with who
Speaker 6: he is. He's gonna be the guy who's the Swiss
Speaker 6: Army knightper winning continue keep on moving him around. So
Speaker 6: I don't see that changing much. But again, but you
Speaker 6: you was talking about we do have a lot more death,
Speaker 6: but we can do a little bit more. But I
Speaker 6: don't see it like changing dramatic, dratic, drastically.
Speaker 8: Kyle, you know, but fr can go way back.
Speaker 6: Are you gonna Notre Dame though?
Speaker 3: But short stop?
Speaker 10: Before he came along, people said big guys like that
Speaker 10: can't play short stop, right.
Speaker 7: People said, Kyle Hamilton like bell safety.
Speaker 8: But do you think he's going to change the perception
Speaker 8: of art, saying he ken.
Speaker 6: Be or is he just?
Speaker 2: I think?
Speaker 6: I think Kyle is a He's a unicorn. He's a
Speaker 6: one of one. There's not many guys who come along
Speaker 6: like that. He's like a generational type player. You know,
Speaker 6: you don't see many guys whom six foot four, uh,
Speaker 6: who can run and change the directions of the way
Speaker 6: he does. He still plays with with violence. He's not
Speaker 6: a he's not a finesse player. He's got it all.
Speaker 6: He's just a He's a He's a different player. It's
Speaker 6: very unique. There's not many players in the league or
Speaker 6: coming into the league that I see that look like that.
Speaker 7: I mean, obviously every time we talked for the week,
Speaker 7: you know, he's a smart guy. Yeah, serious football and
Speaker 7: takes Why when you're dealing with him, how does that
Speaker 7: show just the football toaches? How as much does that
Speaker 7: the show?
Speaker 6: Well, I mean, this is just this is his third
Speaker 6: year in the system. You know, third year knowing it,
Speaker 6: so he knows the ins and out to the in
Speaker 6: the entire system. So, you know, just just being just
Speaker 6: put it this way, he's a junior all right, in
Speaker 6: high school. In college, he knows what's going on. He
Speaker 6: knows how to operate it. And his IQ was just
Speaker 6: it was a ready high IQ football player. But now
Speaker 6: knowing everything that's going on within the defense is third
Speaker 6: year going through it. There's not much that he doesn't know.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 6: The team still need to be coached in all those things,
Speaker 6: but as far as knowing what to do and how
Speaker 6: to do it, unlocking things back there, he's really good.
Speaker 2: He knows what you're really excited about.
Speaker 8: Nate Wiggins.
Speaker 7: I remember talking to you about the drafts.
Speaker 2: What if you see that of him?
Speaker 8: That's been surprising so far.
Speaker 6: I kind of knew already, but just going out there
Speaker 6: and just working with him. He is extremely competitive, all right,
Speaker 6: more competitive than I than I thought that he was.
Speaker 6: He's got the whole mentality, He's got.
Speaker 2: The whole thing.
Speaker 5: Now.
Speaker 6: He's still he's still a young guy. Just guys, remember
Speaker 6: this guy is only twenty years old. He's not even
Speaker 6: old enough to drink yet. So he's still learning, still
Speaker 6: learning how to be in the NFL. But his competitive
Speaker 6: that is a thing that that really sticks.
Speaker 8: Out to me.
Speaker 5: Name.
Speaker 6: His name is Deuce, he's number two, He's Deuce. He's
Speaker 6: not not calling him nasty name. So math, I'm sorry.
