We'll get to that. 0:01:19.200 --> 0:01:21.280 I think Brahm is shocked that we got a house 0:01:21.280 --> 0:01:23.720 phone line like Brown, We have a house phone line 0:01:23.720 --> 0:01:25.280 that they could leave messages for us. 0:01:25.680 --> 0:01:28.080 What is that?

He call us? 0:01:41.200 --> 0:01:45.120 Hey, guys, I'm in Michigan. So we got guys that 0:01:45.400 --> 0:01:49.600 leave the voicemail. People that's prefutly over forty know how 0:01:49.600 --> 0:01:50.480 to leave a voicemail. 0:01:50.560 --> 0:01:51.640 That's right, Yes, we do. 0:01:51.840 --> 0:01:53.880 I use that person knows what a voicemail is. 0:01:54.040 --> 0:01:56.720 My kids don't know anything, Like I do this trivial 0:01:56.720 --> 0:01:59.240 you with my kids? What if? What is this? And 0:01:59.320 --> 0:02:01.360 I showed my is that the name of the game? 0:02:01.480 --> 0:02:02.160 What is this? 0:02:02.360 --> 0:02:05.080 What is this? Could you explain this to me? I 0:02:05.120 --> 0:02:05.800 showed them a house. 0:02:05.920 --> 0:02:08.799 I don't trust you running that game. Why not because 0:02:09.000 --> 0:02:10.400 I don't know what you're gonna show them. 0:02:10.520 --> 0:02:12.480 No, I don't want everything. 0:02:12.840 --> 0:02:14.680 I showed them my house for all My kids were 0:02:14.720 --> 0:02:20.919 like m hmm, rate eight or maybe they had no clue, 0:02:21.320 --> 0:02:22.799 and I was like, you know what, I can't get 0:02:22.800 --> 0:02:26.120 mad because we are the generation that didn't have cell phones. 0:02:26.360 --> 0:02:28.880 We are a generation that had twelve channels. We are 0:02:28.919 --> 0:02:31.680 a generation that at twelve o'clock the TV went off 0:02:31.760 --> 0:02:34.359 in American flag floated for the rest of the night. 0:02:34.760 --> 0:02:38.679 We are the generation that goes from no technology to 0:02:38.840 --> 0:02:40.000 food technology. 0:02:40.200 --> 0:02:41.119 So we are the one. 0:02:41.280 --> 0:02:43.120 I saw a bit by a comedian to put a 0:02:43.200 --> 0:02:45.920 rotary phone up on the stage and ask people to 0:02:45.960 --> 0:02:47.600 come up and say do you know how to use this? 0:02:48.040 --> 0:02:51.080 And they couldn't do it, Like they couldn't dial the numbers. 0:02:51.360 --> 0:02:54.040 Why would they like, that's a foreign machine? 0:02:54.120 --> 0:02:56.280 Yeah, are you looking at it? Like I watched my 0:02:56.360 --> 0:02:57.639 kids look at stuff, and I'll be. 0:02:57.600 --> 0:02:59.560 Like, why do they got this look right? 0:02:59.720 --> 0:03:02.079 And I think to myself, they've never seen this. 0:03:02.400 --> 0:03:04.520 So that's why in the summertime, I love to send 0:03:04.520 --> 0:03:07.040 my kids to Mississippi so they can live with my 0:03:07.520 --> 0:03:12.320 family and have nothing like literally, I get a call like. 0:03:12.280 --> 0:03:16.000 Twenty four hours like, hey there's no air condition in here. Fine, 0:03:16.120 --> 0:03:18.519 that's how I grew up. You will be fine. 0:03:18.600 --> 0:03:21.480 Well, one thing that transcends generations mood. Yeah, football we've 0:03:21.480 --> 0:03:22.120 always had for me. 0:03:22.200 --> 0:03:22.799 It always does. 0:03:22.880 --> 0:03:26.560 This weekend preseason game, Commanders Jets. Brand's gonna be calling 0:03:26.560 --> 0:03:29.160 the game. Obviously, you guys will be all hands on 0:03:29.200 --> 0:03:32.360 deck ready for this game. What are some general expectations, 0:03:32.400 --> 0:03:35.400 because look, preseason is preseason, but what are some things 0:03:35.440 --> 0:03:37.760 you want to see as far as maybe guys stepping 0:03:37.880 --> 0:03:40.000 up or something that might make you happy to see, Hey, 0:03:40.080 --> 0:03:43.400 this this particular position group is improving, whatever it may be. 0:03:43.760 --> 0:03:46.200 Well, what I want is the baseline. Okay, show me 0:03:46.240 --> 0:03:48.960 what this team is like. It's just the preseason, right, 0:03:49.200 --> 0:03:50.880 So we're gonna see the middle of the roster. 0:03:50.960 --> 0:03:52.160 We ain't gonna see the top of the roster. 0:03:52.200 --> 0:03:53.560 You're gonna see the middle of the roster, in the 0:03:53.600 --> 0:03:55.240 bottom of the roster, and you only good as the 0:03:55.760 --> 0:03:57.200 fifty third person on the roster. 0:03:57.440 --> 0:03:59.040 So what we gonna see is the baseline. 0:03:59.040 --> 0:04:00.720 And what they did is coach of staff in his 0:04:00.720 --> 0:04:03.040 front office, did they took the middle of this roster 0:04:03.120 --> 0:04:03.840 from last year. 0:04:03.760 --> 0:04:04.480 And they gutted it. 0:04:05.160 --> 0:04:07.920 They brought the floor up. Forget the ceiling, they brought 0:04:07.960 --> 0:04:09.880 the floor up. So what I want to do is 0:04:10.000 --> 0:04:11.320 I want to see guys go out there and do 0:04:11.360 --> 0:04:12.920 their job. I don't need you to go ten tests. 0:04:13.040 --> 0:04:15.040 I just need you to look like a football team. 0:04:15.320 --> 0:04:17.279 I need you to look like a way coach group 0:04:17.320 --> 0:04:19.279 of guys. That's what I want to see. And you 0:04:19.320 --> 0:04:21.320 can only tell if the group is wall of coach. 0:04:21.640 --> 0:04:24.200 But how's the third screen guy doing. How's the second 0:04:24.240 --> 0:04:26.960 screen guy doing? This the test of how you being coached? 0:04:27.560 --> 0:04:30.080 There's a couple of things at one. I think the 0:04:30.160 --> 0:04:33.280 joint practice is equally as important, if not more important, 0:04:33.279 --> 0:04:34.159 than the game itself. 0:04:34.200 --> 0:04:36.600 It is more important, Yes, yeah. 0:04:36.120 --> 0:04:38.280 For a couple of reasons. And I don't think you 0:04:38.320 --> 0:04:40.160 could have picked a better opponent for this for the 0:04:40.240 --> 0:04:43.200 joint practice. For a couple of reasons, Like if we 0:04:43.240 --> 0:04:45.960 can all sit here and agree that a couple of 0:04:45.960 --> 0:04:48.599 the units that are in question are the offensive line 0:04:48.600 --> 0:04:51.880 in the cornerbacks, think about who they're practicing against this weekend. 0:04:52.320 --> 0:04:54.160 You have one of the best fronts in football with 0:04:54.240 --> 0:04:56.880 the Jets. You're gonna get them in a controlled environment, 0:04:56.920 --> 0:04:59.080 you're gonna find out. We've been playing musical chairs with 0:04:59.120 --> 0:05:01.440 our offensive line for two We're gonna find out what's 0:05:01.440 --> 0:05:04.840 what when Quinn Williams lines up over Allegretty or Beaddish 0:05:05.000 --> 0:05:07.200 or we're gonna get their rush ends against our tackles 0:05:07.200 --> 0:05:09.560 and we don't know who our tackles are yet. And 0:05:09.560 --> 0:05:11.440 then on the other side, we're not gonna get Aaron 0:05:11.520 --> 0:05:13.200 Rodgers in the game on Saturday, but we are gonna 0:05:13.200 --> 0:05:16.080 get him in that practice on Thursday. Greet him, Garrett Wilson, 0:05:16.120 --> 0:05:18.920 Mike Williams, We're gonna find out about our corners. Yeah, 0:05:19.000 --> 0:05:21.719 in controlled environments. They could not have planned out a 0:05:21.760 --> 0:05:24.200 better team to have a joint practice with. I know 0:05:24.240 --> 0:05:26.080 they didn't plan it that way, but if you think 0:05:26.120 --> 0:05:28.640 about what we have questions about and what they bring 0:05:28.680 --> 0:05:31.200 to the table, it's a great matchup for this team. 0:05:31.240 --> 0:05:34.720 Why do we have questions about the DB's in the 0:05:34.760 --> 0:05:36.680 office of line when. 0:05:37.240 --> 0:05:41.080 I don't believe in bad kids. I believe in bad parents. 0:05:41.400 --> 0:05:41.760 All right. 0:05:41.839 --> 0:05:44.200 We watched them have bad parents last year. They wasn't 0:05:44.240 --> 0:05:46.880 coached well. They was put out there and say survive. 0:05:47.800 --> 0:05:49.760 And now we want to say what we do and 0:05:49.800 --> 0:05:52.640 what we don't have. We've upgraded at the center position, 0:05:52.720 --> 0:05:55.920 We've upgraded at the go up position. Sam Cosmi is 0:05:55.920 --> 0:05:58.480 one of the best goss in football. We just drafted 0:05:58.520 --> 0:06:00.640 Brandon cop Why does this have to be a weakness 0:06:00.640 --> 0:06:03.520 because it's the unknown, Like I think we look at unknowns, 0:06:03.839 --> 0:06:04.720 it's weaknesses. 0:06:05.040 --> 0:06:06.360 I don't look at it. I don't look at this 0:06:06.480 --> 0:06:07.800 defensive back. Okay, let me. 0:06:07.720 --> 0:06:08.560 Put it to you this way. 0:06:08.720 --> 0:06:10.840 If this is a reset for these guys, right, let's 0:06:10.839 --> 0:06:13.400 say to a rookie season in theory, then wouldn't it 0:06:13.400 --> 0:06:15.279 make sense that you're still gonna see some growing pains 0:06:15.279 --> 0:06:18.120 because it's a new defense, because it's new roles, Or 0:06:18.160 --> 0:06:20.520 do you expect, okay, we'll see some growth from last year. 0:06:20.600 --> 0:06:21.760 Or could it be a resetting. 0:06:21.440 --> 0:06:23.479 So we're gonna see we're gonna see more growth because 0:06:23.520 --> 0:06:25.760 of the middle of the defense. All Right, Let's be honest. 0:06:25.760 --> 0:06:28.000 The defensive line is what it is. They are intact. 0:06:28.240 --> 0:06:31.200 But when you change the linebacker position, you actually changed 0:06:31.200 --> 0:06:33.760 the back end also, like not only did you bring 0:06:33.800 --> 0:06:36.320 in Bobby Wagner, the yellow jacket, the guy he and 0:06:36.360 --> 0:06:38.279 it just it just reminds me so much of when 0:06:38.279 --> 0:06:41.880 Fletch came. Like when Fletch came, everything kind of changed 0:06:42.120 --> 0:06:44.120 because we don't have to question who the leader is. 0:06:44.320 --> 0:06:46.160 I don't have to question this, the information go get 0:06:46.160 --> 0:06:47.360 back to my defensive back field. 0:06:47.400 --> 0:06:48.640 I don't have to question the end of it. This 0:06:48.920 --> 0:06:52.279 and then look at WIT's history, look at Queenn's history. 0:06:52.360 --> 0:06:54.920 When it comes to defensive backs. This is a defensive 0:06:54.960 --> 0:06:57.960 back friendly defense, all right. Not only did he have 0:06:58.360 --> 0:07:02.680 all Right Diggs what nine interceptions? Then a year later eleven. 0:07:03.200 --> 0:07:06.680 That's no coincidence. So somebody in our defensive backfield it's 0:07:06.720 --> 0:07:09.159 gonna have one of those years because this defensive design 0:07:09.279 --> 0:07:10.400 for that, this defense. 0:07:10.480 --> 0:07:11.240 But take steam. 0:07:11.480 --> 0:07:14.440 I have played in defenses, Greg Williams, that is a 0:07:14.520 --> 0:07:17.840 defensive back friendly that I played in. God that wasn't 0:07:17.880 --> 0:07:21.920 defensive backfield. So now it's more survival than it is play. Like, 0:07:22.000 --> 0:07:25.160 I don't want to judge these guys without them having 0:07:25.200 --> 0:07:27.080 an equal chance to show me who they are. 0:07:27.160 --> 0:07:29.760 It's only been a couple of weeks, right, and we're 0:07:29.920 --> 0:07:32.000 living in this bubble because we're watching them every day. 0:07:32.120 --> 0:07:35.160 And I'm optimistic, right, I want to be optimistic, but 0:07:35.280 --> 0:07:38.920 I think to your point, like when I watch them practice. 0:07:39.480 --> 0:07:42.120 What I see up the middle between the hash marks 0:07:42.800 --> 0:07:47.640 is exponentially better, at least on paper and in general 0:07:47.680 --> 0:07:51.320 in personnel than what they had. The upgrade at the 0:07:51.320 --> 0:07:56.000 linebacker position cannot be overstated, like it is a strength 0:07:56.080 --> 0:07:59.600 when it was a weakness. The safeties are deep. Now. 0:08:00.000 --> 0:08:01.720 I don't know how they're going to utilize Kwon Martin 0:08:01.720 --> 0:08:03.160 and Jeremy Chin, and they don't want to tell me 0:08:03.160 --> 0:08:04.800 because I think they're going to surprise some people with 0:08:04.840 --> 0:08:07.040 the way that they utilize both of them. We've got 0:08:07.120 --> 0:08:10.559 good players like Derek Forrest that are fighting for time 0:08:11.200 --> 0:08:13.880 because they're because they're deep in this position. And we 0:08:13.920 --> 0:08:15.760 know what the middle of our defensive line is. And 0:08:15.800 --> 0:08:17.480 if Johnny Newton is going to be what they think 0:08:17.520 --> 0:08:19.320 he's going to be, which might be the best defensive 0:08:19.320 --> 0:08:22.000 tackle off the board this year. Look up the middle 0:08:22.040 --> 0:08:24.640 at what you see. The questions are on the edges though, 0:08:25.040 --> 0:08:28.160 can they get a consistent pass rush, because yes, Dallas 0:08:28.160 --> 0:08:30.600 had a great defense. Do we have Michael Parsons on 0:08:30.640 --> 0:08:31.560 this team? I don't know. 0:08:31.680 --> 0:08:32.200 Only want. 0:08:33.960 --> 0:08:36.400 Right And then the corners are in question as well. 0:08:36.480 --> 0:08:38.280 And I'm with you, and I want to be optimistic 0:08:38.280 --> 0:08:40.240 and let's give Forbes a redo here, and Saint just 0:08:40.360 --> 0:08:41.880 is a good corner. I think they have some very 0:08:41.880 --> 0:08:45.000 good veterans now behind them, so they're deep in this spot. 0:08:45.120 --> 0:08:48.640 But do they have number one that can match up 0:08:48.640 --> 0:08:50.520 with the CD Lambs and the AJ Browns of the world. 0:08:50.520 --> 0:08:51.920 And that's what we need to see. And that's why 0:08:51.960 --> 0:08:53.680 I think this week's a big deal with Aaron Rodgers 0:08:53.720 --> 0:08:54.960 and Garrett Wilson and people like that. 0:08:55.080 --> 0:08:57.720 No, no, I totally understand what you're saying. These things 0:08:57.800 --> 0:08:59.959 we don't know, like the unknown, we don't know. 0:09:00.400 --> 0:09:02.720 But what I do know is I know this coordinator, 0:09:02.720 --> 0:09:04.840 and I know what type of defenses they run. I 0:09:04.880 --> 0:09:06.680 know what type of guys we have. And I think 0:09:06.720 --> 0:09:10.800 everybody forgetting that. You do have Frankie Louvo, who not 0:09:10.920 --> 0:09:12.439 just gonna be a stand up linebacker. 0:09:12.480 --> 0:09:14.720 You do have Jamie Davis. It's gonna be rushing the pass. 0:09:14.760 --> 0:09:14.840 It. 0:09:15.000 --> 0:09:17.760 I think they will have enough speed and enough personnel 0:09:17.840 --> 0:09:20.839 to manufacture a pass rush. But if you look at 0:09:20.840 --> 0:09:24.480 the teams or in the NFL with great linebacker courts, 0:09:24.520 --> 0:09:26.439 they are probably the top teams in the league. 0:09:26.520 --> 0:09:28.880 You look at the Ravens had the top linebacker court 0:09:28.920 --> 0:09:30.480 you look at the forty nine ers. You look at 0:09:30.520 --> 0:09:33.240 these teams and you say why they so good on defense? 0:09:33.320 --> 0:09:36.079 It's not the front, it's the middle of the defense. 0:09:36.160 --> 0:09:37.440 It changes everything. 0:09:37.520 --> 0:09:40.720 I know people don't understand it like I understand it. 0:09:40.920 --> 0:09:43.160 But when you change the middle of the defense, that 0:09:43.280 --> 0:09:45.440 means no more running to the outside, no more running 0:09:45.480 --> 0:09:46.120 to the inside. 0:09:46.160 --> 0:09:47.360 That mean when you pass. 0:09:47.200 --> 0:09:50.160 The ball in short ten yard five yard interrments, these 0:09:50.200 --> 0:09:53.440 backers were inflict pain. So it stops all of that. 0:09:53.480 --> 0:09:56.120 And I need people to understand that when we upgraded 0:09:56.200 --> 0:09:59.520 this middle of the field, it changed everything on the defense. 0:10:00.000 --> 0:10:02.600 The defense to me, last year they got put in 0:10:02.640 --> 0:10:04.880 some bad predicaments. I never looked at this as a 0:10:04.880 --> 0:10:07.520 bad defense. I looked at it. It's being called wrong. 0:10:07.679 --> 0:10:10.760 It's been called it's being dictated wrong. But the players 0:10:10.800 --> 0:10:14.080 we do have that Like and I say this, nobody 0:10:14.120 --> 0:10:15.679 had a good year on defense last year. Can we 0:10:15.720 --> 0:10:20.320 all agree on that? Not pain, not allen like nobody. 0:10:20.840 --> 0:10:24.760 It's never a coincidence. When all of us think, right, like, 0:10:24.800 --> 0:10:27.600 it's just it ain't no coincidence. That means it's deeper. 0:10:27.640 --> 0:10:29.000 They mean it's something else going on. 0:10:29.840 --> 0:10:32.800 Well, I remember Emmanuel Forbes was saying, probably a couple 0:10:32.840 --> 0:10:34.880 of weeks ago to start a camp, finally I can 0:10:35.000 --> 0:10:35.600 just react. 0:10:35.840 --> 0:10:37.480 I don't have to think anymore. 0:10:37.720 --> 0:10:39.480 To your point, so, how much does it help when 0:10:39.520 --> 0:10:42.280 you have a not necessarily a simplified scheme, but a 0:10:42.320 --> 0:10:44.040 scheme that says, do what you do best. 0:10:44.120 --> 0:10:46.000 You're not out there thinking because you know you think 0:10:46.320 --> 0:10:46.720 you're wrong. 0:10:46.840 --> 0:10:49.480 Well, first of all, I know what he means, like, 0:10:49.520 --> 0:10:53.000 we are creatures of reaction. I'm a dB, I'm a cat. 0:10:53.640 --> 0:10:55.880 We never can fall. We got to stay on our feet. 0:10:55.920 --> 0:10:57.840 But we also got to react to whatever that wire 0:10:57.840 --> 0:11:00.880 receiver does. But if I'm thinking in my head, but 0:11:01.000 --> 0:11:02.920 I am in cover floor, I might not need to 0:11:02.920 --> 0:11:06.480 go down here. I mean this, I'm hesitating. Any hesitation 0:11:06.559 --> 0:11:09.520 gonna get you beat. What he's saying is was being. 0:11:09.400 --> 0:11:09.920 Talked to me. 0:11:10.520 --> 0:11:13.920 I'm learning, like meaning that I don't have to second 0:11:13.920 --> 0:11:17.280 guess myself, a second guess the situation. I'm soaking this in. 0:11:17.480 --> 0:11:20.840 They're making it simple and they allow me to play fast. 0:11:20.960 --> 0:11:22.600 And that's what you want your dbs to do. You 0:11:22.640 --> 0:11:25.880 want them to play fast because they are reacting, not thinking. 0:11:26.240 --> 0:11:28.240 Like like they say in football, you think long, you 0:11:28.280 --> 0:11:28.720 think wrong. 0:11:29.440 --> 0:11:31.880 They talked openly last year about being confused. 0:11:32.200 --> 0:11:32.440 Yeah. 0:11:32.440 --> 0:11:34.080 That yeah, and they talk a lot about this. You know, 0:11:34.160 --> 0:11:36.720 the coaches set up the rules that you're supposed to follow. 0:11:37.040 --> 0:11:39.760 They were confused by it. You saw it on the field. 0:11:39.760 --> 0:11:42.400 And I agree with you. This isn't that they had 0:11:42.440 --> 0:11:45.880 really bad players. I think they were top to bottom, 0:11:46.000 --> 0:11:48.600 not on the same page. And you know, like in 0:11:48.640 --> 0:11:50.640 this league, I think you might agree with this and 0:11:50.640 --> 0:11:52.480 more and more and more as we in a cap 0:11:52.600 --> 0:11:55.199 league like this, the difference between the good teams and 0:11:55.240 --> 0:11:59.000 the bad teams is so minute. It's this much, you know. 0:11:59.040 --> 0:12:00.959 And if you, if you're lucky, have Pat Mahomes or 0:12:01.040 --> 0:12:04.200 Josh Allen, you have a difference maker. But like everything else, 0:12:04.240 --> 0:12:06.120 if you look across the board, everybody's got strengths and 0:12:06.120 --> 0:12:08.800 weaknesses in a cap league, and everybody's close. When you're 0:12:08.800 --> 0:12:11.160 losing the way this team was losing last year, that 0:12:11.320 --> 0:12:14.080 is a fundamental problem with what's going on in general, 0:12:14.440 --> 0:12:17.200 not just the talent itself. And I'm hearing this from 0:12:17.200 --> 0:12:19.520 them this year that they feel more free to play fast, 0:12:19.800 --> 0:12:22.360 and dan Quinn's talking openly about getting them up. I 0:12:22.400 --> 0:12:23.840 do want to ask you both about one thing that 0:12:23.880 --> 0:12:25.960 I have found surprising about all of this, And it's 0:12:25.960 --> 0:12:28.079 another thing that I'm really looking forward to this weekend 0:12:28.320 --> 0:12:31.040 at the joint practice and at the game. So dan 0:12:31.120 --> 0:12:33.880 Quinn talks openly about your friends and family are gonna 0:12:33.960 --> 0:12:37.199 like watching us. We're gonna play hard, we're gonna play physical, 0:12:37.280 --> 0:12:39.000 We're gonna bring it. Those are the type of things 0:12:39.040 --> 0:12:41.720 he's saying. I haven't seen them do a full speed 0:12:41.720 --> 0:12:45.320 football practice yet in two weeks and the first time 0:12:45.320 --> 0:12:47.600 they're going to do it is it a joint practice 0:12:47.640 --> 0:12:50.800 and in a preseason game. And I'm somewhat surprised by that. 0:12:51.160 --> 0:12:53.400 Don't be surprised about it. This is the new NFL. 0:12:53.600 --> 0:12:55.280 This is the way it is. This is how they 0:12:55.320 --> 0:12:57.000 protect the players. This is what it is. 0:12:57.080 --> 0:13:00.640 But what I do love is I love inner team practices. 0:13:01.040 --> 0:13:01.560 You said it. 0:13:01.600 --> 0:13:03.040 At the end of the day, We're going to see 0:13:03.080 --> 0:13:04.679 stuff that they can't they ain't gonna show in the 0:13:04.679 --> 0:13:07.920 preseason game. We're gonna see matchups, like he said, tackle 0:13:07.960 --> 0:13:11.720 against defensive end, wide receiver against Connell, quarterback against We're 0:13:11.720 --> 0:13:14.840 gonna see it all in these practices. And I'm like, 0:13:15.200 --> 0:13:17.640 this is what I do know about this team. They'll 0:13:17.720 --> 0:13:21.120 rather walk through, so they understand then go one hundred 0:13:21.120 --> 0:13:26.120 percent while everybody just unorganized chaos. They understand, we're going 0:13:26.160 --> 0:13:28.520 to protect their legs, we're gonna protect the player, but 0:13:28.559 --> 0:13:29.920 we're gonna also were. 0:13:29.679 --> 0:13:30.640 Challenging the mental. 0:13:30.760 --> 0:13:33.559 Yeah, and that's what I think the best coaches challenge 0:13:33.640 --> 0:13:36.960 the mental. Everybody, every coach I've ever had, from Coach Gibbs, 0:13:37.320 --> 0:13:40.800 all the best coaches, they like, you know what, Physically, physically, 0:13:41.000 --> 0:13:41.959 that's what got you here? 0:13:42.120 --> 0:13:44.440 Yeah, mentally, what's gonna keep you here? 0:13:45.040 --> 0:13:47.560 I think it's surprising for sure, because that doesn't seem 0:13:47.600 --> 0:13:48.880 like the norm. But I'll also say. 0:13:48.720 --> 0:13:51.760 To your point, particularly when you're integrating a brand new 0:13:51.760 --> 0:13:54.319 coaching staff of the new set of players, mostly most 0:13:54.360 --> 0:13:55.960 important thing you can do is get everyone on the 0:13:55.960 --> 0:13:56.600 same page. 0:13:56.679 --> 0:13:58.240 Make sure everyone knows their assignments. 0:13:58.280 --> 0:14:00.000 You've got a rookie quarterback as where all we're gonna 0:14:00.000 --> 0:14:02.800 talk about Jayden Daniels. You got to get everyone down 0:14:03.240 --> 0:14:05.640 on knowing exactly what they're doing, and then you go 0:14:05.679 --> 0:14:06.160 full more. 0:14:06.320 --> 0:14:08.520 Because if you're automatically. 0:14:07.920 --> 0:14:11.320 Going full speed early on, before you know, before you're reacting, 0:14:11.320 --> 0:14:12.360 you don't really know what's happening. 0:14:12.440 --> 0:14:14.160 Then I think you run the risk of maybe taking 0:14:14.160 --> 0:14:14.959 a step backwards. 0:14:15.040 --> 0:14:16.800 That's what Quinn said the other day because I asked 0:14:16.840 --> 0:14:19.680 him about this, because listen, I've been around you guys forever, right, 0:14:20.040 --> 0:14:22.720 it is unnatural for you all to not start hitting, yeah, 0:14:22.760 --> 0:14:27.400 like you guys want to, you know, after the first week, 0:14:27.480 --> 0:14:30.880 because pads have been collectively bargained out of training camp. Yea, 0:14:30.920 --> 0:14:32.920 the first week, so you can't hit, right, there's no 0:14:32.960 --> 0:14:34.800 way around. You're gonna get people hurt, so you can't hit. 0:14:35.200 --> 0:14:37.600 Once the pads go on though, that's when we think 0:14:37.640 --> 0:14:40.640 that things are going to change. And it didn't quite yet, 0:14:40.840 --> 0:14:44.080 but by the middle of the second week, Brian Robinson's 0:14:44.160 --> 0:14:46.600 kind of lowering his head a little bit. There was 0:14:46.600 --> 0:14:49.840 a pop on a kickoff return. Guy I got run 0:14:49.880 --> 0:14:52.000 over on a kick cover, like you could see it 0:14:52.080 --> 0:14:54.920 bubbling up where the guys are like, let us go. 0:14:55.320 --> 0:14:57.320 And I asked Quinn about it, and he said, to 0:14:57.400 --> 0:15:01.160 your point, we're not ready to do that. We want 0:15:01.240 --> 0:15:04.680 everybody on the same page, coordinated, and then we're gonna 0:15:04.680 --> 0:15:05.920 take the lid off and unleash it. 0:15:06.040 --> 0:15:09.720 Yeah. I love that, listen, he said. 0:15:10.480 --> 0:15:13.200 We don't want chaos, we want organized chaos, and for 0:15:13.280 --> 0:15:15.960 us to have organized chaos, I have to teach them first. 0:15:16.320 --> 0:15:18.760 I want my coach to be a teacher, Like this 0:15:18.840 --> 0:15:21.200 is chess. Like the thing about it when we get 0:15:21.200 --> 0:15:22.080 out there on Sunday. 0:15:22.240 --> 0:15:24.400 You just said it. The table let, the tabler level 0:15:24.480 --> 0:15:28.200 is almost the same. Who is moving the chess pieces? 0:15:28.280 --> 0:15:30.760 And where are you placing me? And why? 0:15:31.000 --> 0:15:33.520 If I know why you placing me right here? I'm 0:15:33.520 --> 0:15:36.480 prone to be better at my job. And that's what 0:15:36.560 --> 0:15:38.440 I think they're doing right now. They like, we're gonna 0:15:38.440 --> 0:15:40.960 teach them. We done got time for all this. Let's 0:15:41.000 --> 0:15:43.040 go out here and beat everybody up. I want to 0:15:43.040 --> 0:15:44.920 teach them how I want the game to be played. 0:15:44.920 --> 0:15:45.680 And I think that's what he. 0:15:46.200 --> 0:15:48.360 Yes, I know the games on Saturday. I don't want 0:15:48.360 --> 0:15:51.080 you to miss it because it's early. But it's aos. 0:15:52.160 --> 0:15:55.640 But it's also a preseason games. Got let's be honest, 0:15:55.720 --> 0:15:58.360 it's a preseason game. Were waiting for the first game, 0:15:58.800 --> 0:16:00.520 Like that's what we're trying to get to. 0:16:00.800 --> 0:16:03.440 It's almost like a bull you know where you know 0:16:03.440 --> 0:16:04.600 when the bull gets ready to charge. 0:16:04.720 --> 0:16:07.640 Yeah, it's that that leg going like I'm about to go. 0:16:07.720 --> 0:16:10.400 And it's like these players are like we're ready and 0:16:10.440 --> 0:16:11.600 they're waiting for dan Quinn. 0:16:11.720 --> 0:16:13.400 Just turn them loses and then they can go. So 0:16:13.400 --> 0:16:14.440
