1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,160
Speaker 1: Hey, Josh, a long trip back to turn. Appreciate the

2
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:07,800
Speaker 1: time as always. UM, just sorry. I asked Bill after

3
00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:11,440
Speaker 1: the game about, um, you know, whether Cam would start

4
00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:16,080
Speaker 1: next week? He said, Cam's our quarterback as the offensive coordinator. Um,

5
00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:18,320
Speaker 1: what do you see him from? Cam? And why does

6
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:20,759
Speaker 1: he give you guys in your view, Josh the best

7
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:32,000
Speaker 1: chance to win here? Well, Cams certainly he's certainly been

8
00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:37,720
Speaker 1: the um the best option for us all year long. Uh,

9
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:40,920
Speaker 1: you know, since he earned the opportunity in training camp

10
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:45,559
Speaker 1: and um, you know, and and look, whenever the offense struggles,

11
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:49,479
Speaker 1: you know, I know what I know, the attention is

12
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:53,360
Speaker 1: always going to get turned to that position. Um. He personally,

13
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's my responsibility to you know, put

14
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 1: us in a position to to be more productive than

15
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:04,520
Speaker 1: we were last night. And every time we struggle offensively

16
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:07,640
Speaker 1: and don't score enough points to win the game, I

17
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 1: know I need to do a better job. And quarterback

18
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 1: play is you know, it is dependent on a lot

19
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 1: of things to be done right and to be executed properly.

20
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:21,920
Speaker 1: You know, the quarterback has to do his job, but

21
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 1: there's a lot of other people that go into doing

22
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 1: that same thing and being a productive all sense of unit.

23
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 1: So you know, Cam's cam works are Cam knows what

24
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 1: we want to try to do to win, you know,

25
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:41,959
Speaker 1: and and right now I think that we just there's

26
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 1: a lot of things we all can do better. And

27
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:47,040
Speaker 1: so you know, we've got to work hard and try

28
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 1: to come back and have a good week of preparation

29
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 1: and practice and see if we can't play better as

30
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 1: a unit down in Miami and get this thing back

31
00:01:55,440 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 1: on track. Next question Zach Cox, followed by Philip Pierrie. Hey, Josh,

32
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 1: you guys seem to have some some issues up front

33
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 1: along the offensive line, especially in the second half with

34
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 1: past protection. Uh, there are some issues that we haven't

35
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 1: really seen from that unit, um for much of this season.

36
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:22,119
Speaker 1: Just in your mind after watching the tape. What we're

37
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 1: the Rands doing that we're causing you guys some problems. Yeah,

38
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 1: they have a good front. You know, they rush well.

39
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:37,080
Speaker 1: And you know, whenever you put yourself in a position

40
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:40,960
Speaker 1: where you're playing the game from behind, uh and don't

41
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 1: really have control of the score. Um, you know, you're

42
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 1: susceptible to a team that has a good rush, you know,

43
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 1: making making life a little tougher on you. Um. And

44
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 1: so you know, whether it's our pre snap communication and distribute,

45
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 1: distributing our blockers properly, which happened a couple of times,

46
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 1: or just you know, uh, feeling the need to go

47
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 1: back there and hold the ball to try to throw

48
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 1: it to get back into the game and create some

49
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 1: chunk plays. Um, you know you're gonna put yourself in

50
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 1: that situation where a team with a good rush has

51
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:17,640
Speaker 1: an opportunity to make some plays in the pass rush.

52
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:22,080
Speaker 1: So you know, starts with the prestat communication and making

53
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:25,080
Speaker 1: sure that we're on the same page. And then you know,

54
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 1: we've got to be able to h you know, stay

55
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 1: inside out and block them along enough for us to

56
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 1: get get rid of the ball. And we've got to

57
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 1: be able to get open, you know, and and get

58
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 1: the quarterback and opportunity to throw it to somebody as

59
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 1: well too. So, um, you know it goes hand in hand.

60
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 1: Whenever you get score three points of the game, it's

61
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 1: never one thing. And I'd say there's a lot of

62
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 1: areas when we certainly can improve from last night. Next

63
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 1: question Phil Perry, followed by Evan Lazzart. Hey, Josh, I

64
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 1: wanted to to ask you about him and and UM,

65
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 1: if you've noticed any hesitancy in his decision making, UM,

66
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 1: maybe that that stems from his reluctance to make a mistake. No.

67
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 1: One answer that he gave us last night sort of

68
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:16,799
Speaker 1: stood out to me, and it was about that fourth

69
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 1: down play by the goal line. He didn't want to

70
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:20,679
Speaker 1: pitch it, he said, he didn't want to make another

71
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:23,920
Speaker 1: bad play. UM. My question isn't necessarily about that play

72
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:27,040
Speaker 1: in particular, But have you noticed that that he has

73
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 1: been tentative at times, um, and maybe reluctant to try

74
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:35,599
Speaker 1: something because he knows that the worst case scenario, UM,

75
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 1: you know, could be could be really detrimental to your offense.

76
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 1: I haven't so, UM. You know, I think there's a

77
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 1: real fine line at you know, at that position in

78
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 1: particular of making smart decisions, taking care of the football,

79
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 1: which we all know is the quickest way to roves

80
00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:02,919
Speaker 1: if we don't U and being aggressive and and and

81
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 1: doing the things necessary to win games, you know, and

82
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 1: so you know, every quarterback that's ever played for US

83
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 1: has to make those choices. It's the same thing with

84
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:14,159
Speaker 1: every other team. UM. You know, they have the ball

85
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:17,479
Speaker 1: more than anybody else. And you know there's been a

86
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 1: lot of games in a real hume, we've we've done

87
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 1: a good job of taking care of this football, which

88
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 1: is always part of our form. Left for winning. Um,

89
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:28,280
Speaker 1: you know, we can't win until you know, stop them.

90
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,359
Speaker 1: Talked about that numerous times over the years, so we

91
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 1: talked about it this year. And when we've turned the

92
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 1: ball over, you know, it's eating from our teams. So

93
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 1: that's usually our number one goal each week is to

94
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 1: take care of the ball. M But you know, at

95
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 1: the same time, the quarterback again he's the guy with

96
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:50,920
Speaker 1: the bonus names with anybody else, and so you know,

97
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 1: we have to take care of the ball, but we

98
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:55,160
Speaker 1: also have to score each team. We can be aggressive

99
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:57,839
Speaker 1: and take care of the football, makes market susans at

100
00:05:57,880 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 1: the same time. That's really the goal every week. But

101
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 1: you know, Cam's cams certainly improved through throughout the course

102
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 1: of the season in terms of taking care of the football. Um.

103
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:09,280
Speaker 1: And and I've i haven't sensed any of that. And

104
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:12,279
Speaker 1: again we would always encourage him to, you know, be

105
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 1: aggressive and kind of loose and be smart at the

106
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 1: same time. That's the that's the burden of playing quarterback.

107
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 1: Thanks you, Evan's got Doug kind Nikkiel. Oh, hey, hey, Josh,

108
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 1: I just wanted to ask you a question about Nikkiel

109
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:34,480
Speaker 1: and and just last night we saw make a couple

110
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:36,920
Speaker 1: of big plays down the field. And what you've seen

111
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:39,360
Speaker 1: out of his growth and just development here over the

112
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks. Yeah, first thing is consistency. Um.

113
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 1: You know, he comes to the building the look every day. Um.

114
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 1: He he wants to try to help in any way possible,

115
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:58,919
Speaker 1: whether that's you know, catching a football, walk and whatever

116
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:01,480
Speaker 1: we ask him to do. As a great attitude and

117
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:05,480
Speaker 1: approach to him, and certainly has made some progress in

118
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 1: terms of um, you know, making some place for us.

119
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 1: Made a big catch in the red area last week

120
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 1: and you know, catch down the seal last night on

121
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 1: the sideline. We moved him inside a little bit yesterday,

122
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 1: made a big third down catch up with the middle,

123
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 1: took a hit. So, um Kiel Vikiel works hard, he

124
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 1: wants to improve, He tries to do the things we

125
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 1: asked him to do. And I think you know, Cam's

126
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 1: got confidence in him. You know, gave him a few

127
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:37,240
Speaker 1: chances last night to go use his size and go

128
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 1: up there and make a show plays. And I'm happy

129
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 1: to see him be able to do that, and we

130
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 1: gotta try to build on that as it moves for

131
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 1: would you like to see use his size a little

132
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 1: bit more just in terms of you know, we saw

133
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 1: him on those double moves and things like that. I'm

134
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 1: just throwing him the ball up like Cam did last night.

135
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 1: Is that a play that you feel like you could

136
00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 1: do regularly or is that something that, um, you know,

137
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 1: it's kind of when the opportunity presents itself. I guess

138
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 1: I think, I mean, we've called more. It's just sometimes

139
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 1: the coverage dictates that you can't really do it because

140
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:13,600
Speaker 1: there's either you know, somebody over the top or the

141
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 1: corner place higher, those kind of things that whenever he

142
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 1: has an opportunity to uh you know, to be even

143
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 1: or are given an opportunity for our fifty fifty ball

144
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 1: like that, you know, we never mind if the ball

145
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 1: goes up to a player like that. You know, I

146
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 1: have confidence and faith and he'll be able to go

147
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:35,600
Speaker 1: and make a play on it in those types of situations. So, um,

148
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 1: you know, if we if we we threw him another

149
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 1: one I think at the right side of mind last night,

150
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:43,199
Speaker 1: and um, you know, had an opportunity, he had a

151
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 1: chance at it and just missed it. But um, you know,

152
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:49,599
Speaker 1: I think those are plays where you're not necessarily the

153
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 1: highest percentage play, but they're also there's a reward at

154
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 1: the end of that that uh, you know we saw

155
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 1: last night in the thirty yard or that you know

156
00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:00,839
Speaker 1: you could you could gain some significant advantages if you

157
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:03,680
Speaker 1: can hit one or two of them. So we'll continue

158
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 1: to look for opportunities to provide those chances. Thanks gosh, yeah,

159
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:13,319
Speaker 1: sorry to the others that to have raised the hand.

160
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:17,199
Speaker 1: We're gonna finish with Doug Kine ghead, Doug Joshua. I

161
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:19,439
Speaker 1: have kind of a two problemed question on on Jared.

162
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:22,320
Speaker 1: Do you feel like you can fairly evaluate a quarterback

163
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:24,719
Speaker 1: when he comes in late, like Jared has so many

164
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:26,559
Speaker 1: times this season, And do you feel like you have

165
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:29,959
Speaker 1: enough information on Jared heading into an offseason with some

166
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:37,679
Speaker 1: question marks at the position. I just look at each

167
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 1: opportunity to evaluate. A player you know has its own entity,

168
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 1: you know, so whether he comes in and you know

169
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:49,959
Speaker 1: what he did in charge your game and plays you

170
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 1: know a handful of meaningful snaps there or last night,

171
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 1: you can only evaluate what you have. And then obviously

172
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 1: the biggest body of work we can see from artis

173
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:04,319
Speaker 1: in practice. So um, you know, you've got an opportunity

174
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:10,080
Speaker 1: to one improve, particularly on the practice field and over

175
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:12,560
Speaker 1: the course of two years. And you know, he certainly

176
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:15,679
Speaker 1: made progress movies and he's you know, he's got the

177
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 1: grow as well. So m you know, just these opportunities last,

178
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:23,199
Speaker 1: you know, when opportunities to do the games kind of

179
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 1: kind of get on the give an opportunity for you

180
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 1: to evaluate a lot of young players and see what

181
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:32,960
Speaker 1: they can do. And uh, you know, some some ways

182
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 1: he made the most of his opportunities, but there's definitely

183
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 1: some things we can we can fix and tweak as

184
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 1: we move forward. Uh, he'll hopefully improve from some of

185
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 1: the things that we see on the tape. Thank you

186
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:46,040
