1
00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:04,280
Speaker 1: All right, let's uh, let's keep going, Doug.

2
00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:05,680
Speaker 2: Can you go go ahead, Gene?

3
00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:11,080
Speaker 3: Okay, Doug, can you obviously get the big return from

4
00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:13,560
Speaker 3: Parker Washington? Can you tell us describe that for us?

5
00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:15,600
Speaker 1: And then how pleasing was it to see the touchdown

6
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:17,320
Speaker 1: from Trevor to Etn?

7
00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:23,439
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, just with the returns, you know, it

8
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:27,320
Speaker 4: was all new obviously things we've been working on. Uh,

9
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:30,320
Speaker 4: just a really good, really good return by Parker. But

10
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:32,360
Speaker 4: but there were some also some good blocks on that play.

11
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:36,040
Speaker 4: He ran tough, uh physical run. You know, it was

12
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:37,760
Speaker 4: a great way to a great way to really you know,

13
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:40,040
Speaker 4: start our offense and and get get the game rolling

14
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:42,440
Speaker 4: for us. And then then you know, Trevor to to

15
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:44,959
Speaker 4: e t N on the play just a nice one

16
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:48,880
Speaker 4: on one matchup. You know, it was an angle route

17
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:51,639
Speaker 4: by ETN and and he just did a great job

18
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 4: setting up the backer and and you know, a good throw.

19
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:56,000
Speaker 2: Doug.

20
00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 5: How encouraging was it for you just to see so

21
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 5: much production from guys that are either considered backups or

22
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:03,640
Speaker 5: newcomers to the squad.

23
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:06,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's it is pleasing. You know.

24
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:09,399
Speaker 4: It goes back to our message back in April, and

25
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 4: I talked about development, you know, and I think that's

26
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:14,959
Speaker 4: what you're seeing out there in practice. It's what I'm

27
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:17,839
Speaker 4: seeing anyway. And then tonight, with so many guys playing

28
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 4: in this game, you just there wasn't really a drop off,

29
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 4: you know, because sometimes when you when you get out

30
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:27,039
Speaker 4: of that first second unit, sometimes there's there's a letdown

31
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 4: or a drop.

32
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:29,120
Speaker 2: Off with with play.

33
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 4: And I didn't see that tonight. Our guys played played fast,

34
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 4: they played hard. Were their mistakes, Sure, there were mistakes

35
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:37,479
Speaker 4: and MS and things like that that we can clean

36
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:41,480
Speaker 4: up this week. But you know, I think top to bottom,

37
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 4: you know, the guys, the guys played.

38
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:45,959
Speaker 2: Credit to them, they played fast, and they played physical.

39
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 5: Could you talk specifically about Tank Bixby and what he

40
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 5: was able to do tonight? Uh, just just how hard

41
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 5: he ran and also almost getting the kickoff return for

42
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 5: a touchdown.

43
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, we know, we knew and we know

44
00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 4: that the Tank's a physical downhill runner and and quite honestly,

45
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 4: there were you know, the kickoff return is a lot

46
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 4: like his own run play. You know, it's a downhill,

47
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:08,800
Speaker 4: it's a downhill type play, and he's built for that.

48
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:12,360
Speaker 4: And and I was exciting to see him h not

49
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 4: only in the return game, but also offensively, you know,

50
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 4: get some carries and.

51
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 2: And do the things that we know he's capable of doing.

52
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 4: But again it's it's also given him the opportunity to

53
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 4: do it right in practice. And obviously you're you know,

54
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 4: in the game tonight.

55
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:29,360
Speaker 6: Doug, it was the fourth defensive play. It was like

56
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 6: a hockey shift. Five guys came on the field, and

57
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 6: then the rotation and the substitution. If you ever seen

58
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 6: a defense off the top of your head that substituted

59
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 6: as much as your team did tonight in the first

60
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 6: half with solid production.

61
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 2: Yes, I have seen it. And it's the reason.

62
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 4: It's the reason, you know, the guys can stay fresh

63
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 4: not only throughout the game, but they stay fresh throughout the.

64
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 2: Course of the season.

65
00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 4: And it was it was our team and you know,

66
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:01,799
Speaker 4: and with with Jim Schwartz as a coordinator, you know,

67
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 4: when you have eight guys on your roster and you

68
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:09,520
Speaker 4: can consistently rotate and keep those guys fresh the entire game,

69
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 4: it it helps and and it and it helps on

70
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 4: third down when when they're fresh and and and can

71
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 4: get after the passers. So it's just something that you know,

72
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 4: Ryan obviously, you know, believes in I believe in it,

73
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:24,520
Speaker 4: and and the guys are listen, it's coordinated now, It's

74
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 4: it's not just you just go pick five guys.

75
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 2: It's it's well organized and it's well coordinated.

76
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 4: And uh, you know, credit to the defensive staff and

77
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:33,520
Speaker 4: then obviously the players for getting it and out.

78
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:36,839
Speaker 1: Uh, Doug, congratulations on the wind.

79
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 3: Just talk to us a little bit about your quarterback play.

80
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 3: What you were hoping to see and did you see

81
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 3: what you wanted to see out of the for an open.

82
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, I did. All three of them played played played good.

83
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 4: They played smart. I don't think there was a turnover there,

84
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 4: you know, with those guys, and and you know Trevor played.

85
00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 2: Trevor played smart. Obviously. The throw you know to ETN

86
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 2: and and CJ.

87
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 4: Comes in and makes it makes it some really nice

88
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 4: down the field throws and and you know in the

89
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 4: face of adversity too, you know, getting hit on the

90
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 4: rough from the passer, and and then for Mac to

91
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 4: come in and really, you know, do what he he's

92
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 4: capable of doing.

93
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 2: It's it's it's it's a great room.

94
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 4: It's a great room where we're blessed and fortunate to

95
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 4: have three veteran players in that room, and and it

96
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 4: was exciting to watch all three play.

97
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 7: Doug, can you take us through the touchback argument with

98
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:28,840
Speaker 7: their can't because that's long.

99
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 2: It will be here a while. I'm just glad to honestly,

100
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:33,799
Speaker 2: I'm just glad they went to review.

101
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:37,480
Speaker 4: It's the ball landed in the end zone and now

102
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 4: by rule, it is still a live ball. You know,

103
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:41,160
Speaker 4: last year that would have been down, it would have

104
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:43,600
Speaker 4: been dead, right, and the ball comes out to the

105
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 4: what twenty five or whatever it was last year.

106
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:48,360
Speaker 2: Now the ball's live.

107
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:50,719
Speaker 4: So the ball was in the end zone, came out

108
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:55,039
Speaker 4: to about the half yard line, The returner was in

109
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:58,039
Speaker 4: the end zone, but pulled the ball back into the

110
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 4: end zone when he took a knee. So safety, that's

111
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 4: the rule.

112
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:07,720
Speaker 7: Did you did you know that? Immediately?

113
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 2: And and.

114
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 4: Heath was Heath was yelling at me, and and and

115
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 4: Zach and the guys upstairs were kind of in my

116
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,159
Speaker 4: ear about it. And when I was talking to the

117
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 4: officials about it, just trying to my point to the

118
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:21,480
Speaker 4: officials was you got.

119
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 2: To review it.

120
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:23,719
Speaker 4: At least give us an opportunity to review it, not

121
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:26,479
Speaker 4: not me, because you know I couldn't, but let the

122
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 4: officials review it, and they got together, they collaborated on it, obviously,

123
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:34,159
Speaker 4: went to review and and and that's the that was

124
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 4: the right rule.

125
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:37,480
Speaker 7: You expect a lot of confusion like that until this

126
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 7: thing kind of sorts itself out in the first few

127
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 7: months or a month or so of the season about

128
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:43,159
Speaker 7: stuff like that.

129
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 2: You know, I don't, I don't know if it's going

130
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:45,719
Speaker 2: to be much confusion on it.

131
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 4: I mean, I think I think it's a good coaching

132
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 4: point for for all teams, you know, to really coach

133
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 4: our returners, you know, in that situation. It's definitely going

134
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:56,600
Speaker 4: to be on the coaches video that's going to come

135
00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 4: out this week, and it's just it's it's really a

136
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 4: good team teaching moment for everybody, us included for our returners.

137
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:08,600
Speaker 4: And you know, it's just a great way to learn

138
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 4: that rule and to learn the game of football.

139
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 3: Doug, not a lot has ever put into preseason results.

140
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:17,279
Speaker 3: But did you guys need do you feel like maybe

141
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:20,040
Speaker 3: you needed this thing to maybe gain some momentum after

142
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 3: the way last year ended.

143
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:22,720
Speaker 2: No, not necessarily.

144
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 4: I just wanted our guys to execute and play hard,

145
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 4: play fast, and I felt like they did that. Today's

146
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 4: it's a new season, new faces, you know, some old

147
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 4: faces out there, you know, and it's just for us internally,

148
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 4: it's just a different feel.

149
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:38,359
Speaker 2: It's a different team, you know, a.

150
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:41,600
Speaker 4: Whole different year. So it's not anything about last year.

151
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:43,840
Speaker 4: It's just about getting better and moving forward.

152
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:47,719
Speaker 1: Coach overall and special teams, how do you feel your

153
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,600
Speaker 1: on the other side of the coin adapted both with

154
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 1: kicking off and also the you have a new kicker.

155
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 1: Obviously this year sixty two year owner would have been

156
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:58,160
Speaker 1: good from seventy and the forty seven yarnder just Apex

157
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 1: does it cut through the uprights. There's some special looks like.

158
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:04,480
Speaker 4: You know, it just shows the leg strength that Cam

159
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 4: has and and the reason we drafted him. And he definitely,

160
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 4: you know, he had some wind in his back and

161
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 4: that that one before half there and and uh, you

162
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 4: know just uh, you know, he works hard, he works

163
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 4: hard and practice at it and you can see he's

164
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 4: not a big guy, but he's got a really strong

165
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 4: leg and a powerful leg and and you know it

166
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 4: was good for you know, I went into this game

167
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 4: thinking I wanted to get him some opportunities, you know,

168
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:33,239
Speaker 4: to kick under this type of pressure, this kind of stage,

169
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:37,120
Speaker 4: and and uh, he performed extremely well. I mean he

170
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 4: was amped up now to start the game. You saw

171
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 4: those kickoffs go go through the end zone and he

172
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 4: was excited, which rightfully so, but uh, he'll learn from

173
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 4: it and uh, but he had a good night.

174
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 5: Doug.

175
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 6: Can you talk about Brian's big catch and didn't What

176
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 6: does it just say to you to see the team

177
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 6: kind of go as crazy as they did for him

178
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 6: in that moment.

179
00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:58,520
Speaker 4: Well, you know, obviously, when you when you draft a

180
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 4: guy you know first on your and you're you know

181
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:04,240
Speaker 4: this year and the type of receiver and really the

182
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 4: type of person for him, he's very capable obviously of

183
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 4: making those types of plays and just an excellent play

184
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 4: and then you know, it's just it's just you see

185
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 4: the I think you see the excitement from the entire team.

186
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 4: You know, same thing when when Christian braswell, you know,

187
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 4: even though it was rolled down, you saw the excitement

188
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 4: there as well, and some of the other big plays

189
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 4: that were made. But you know, we just got to

190
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 4: keep Brian coming. You know, he's gonna be a big

191
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:31,400
Speaker 4: part of our offense.

192
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 7: Doug.

193
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 5: I'm just curious curious of whether you mentioned anything that

194
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:37,680
Speaker 5: Trevor after he took the sack on a fourth down

195
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:39,520
Speaker 5: instead of just trying at least get the ball down

196
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:41,599
Speaker 5: feel even if it's in tight coverage.

197
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 2: No, not, not really.

198
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 4: I mean it was We're a bit too long for

199
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 4: a fueld goal anyway, you know, because of where the wind,

200
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:52,320
Speaker 4: wind was in our face, and and you know that

201
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:56,319
Speaker 4: one didn't hurt us as much, but didn't didn't really

202
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 4: feel like that was you know, worthy of a conversation

203
00:08:59,360 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 4: at that time.

204
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:04,320
Speaker 3: And Parker Washington not only did he have the big kickoff,

205
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:06,800
Speaker 3: but a thirteen yard punt return ten yard I think

206
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:09,680
Speaker 3: catch where he slipped a tackle. We've heard about, you know,

207
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 3: we've heard teammates raving about him. But it's what we

208
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 3: saw tonight. Is that kind of what you guys expect

209
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 3: now going into year two?

210
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, it's just the growth and development. Just

211
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 2: like Tank.

212
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:20,559
Speaker 4: You know, both guys are having really good camp right now.

213
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:25,200
Speaker 4: And you know, Parker, Parker has worked extremely hard. He

214
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 4: worked you know during the off season and obviously now

215
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:30,880
Speaker 4: in camp to put himself in this position and and it's, uh,

216
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 4: it's showing on the field right and and uh it

217
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:37,840
