1
00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:11,480
Speaker 1: Hold on, guys, what specific challenges does Cam Newton present

2
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:14,720
Speaker 1: as far as when you look at him. Obviously, he's

3
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:18,439
Speaker 1: a great player. He's an incredible athlete. He's big, he's strong,

4
00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:22,919
Speaker 1: he's athletic. He has a great feel for making plays

5
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:25,760
Speaker 1: both as a runner and as a and as a passer.

6
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:29,480
Speaker 1: He can play well within their system. He can play

7
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:32,680
Speaker 1: well when the play breaks down. He's just a dynamic guy.

8
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:34,760
Speaker 1: He's hard to tackle. He's hard to tackle in the pocket.

9
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:36,240
Speaker 1: He's hard to tackle when he's out on the run.

10
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:38,320
Speaker 1: He's got a big, strong arm. He can throw the

11
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:40,720
Speaker 1: ball anywhere on the field. So he's you know, obviously

12
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 1: one of the great players in this league. You've been

13
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:44,680
Speaker 1: around for while, you've known him. For all kind of

14
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 1: impact you think Nor will have on him, I think

15
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:50,240
Speaker 1: a positive impact. You know, Nor have just been a really,

16
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 1: really good coach in this league for a long long time.

17
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 1: And I think the common thread is that typically his

18
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 1: guys play well for him. And you know, all the quarterbacks,

19
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 1: they've come in all different shapes and sizes, young guys,

20
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:05,680
Speaker 1: old guys. Typically they've played very well. And he's always

21
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 1: had balanced attacks where he runs it well, throws it

22
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 1: well tax a lot of different ways. So you know,

23
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 1: they have some dynamic players on their offense, and there's

24
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:16,960
Speaker 1: no question he'll put them in a great environment to succeed.

25
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 1: Jason frav the intertwining. I think this is the first

26
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:22,119
Speaker 1: time you as a head coach goes against Norv. Obviously

27
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 1: is one of your mentors your emotional and mental thoughts there, Yeah,

28
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 1: I mean Norv, there's no question is one of my

29
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 1: best friends in football. You know, he was the offensive

30
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:37,680
Speaker 1: coordinator here when I first started playing in the early

31
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:41,119
Speaker 1: nineties and had a big impact on my life, certainly

32
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:43,319
Speaker 1: my career, and he's been a huge influence on me

33
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 1: as a coach, and you know, I consider him a

34
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 1: dear friend. The impact he's had on me and so

35
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 1: many others is significant, changed our lives. Wish him nothing

36
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 1: but the best, but oftentimes we go against people were

37
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 1: close to in this league. That's the nature of the

38
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 1: league if you've been around for a little while and

39
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 1: you really just stay focused on yourself. I wish him

40
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:05,560
Speaker 1: nothing but the best, but obviously we're going to try

41
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:08,359
Speaker 1: our best to beat him this week. Every system evolves

42
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 1: and change, but how much of his principles or we're

43
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:14,919
Speaker 1: in your initial thoughts and you kind of grew from there.

44
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 1: As far as how you put an offense together, Oh,

45
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:22,239
Speaker 1: I think his fingerprints are all over what we've done. Again,

46
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:25,240
Speaker 1: so much of what we've done goes goes back to

47
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 1: the early nineties and the offense that we ran here

48
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 1: with the Cowboys. The terminology stems from there. How we

49
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 1: call formations, protections, routes, all of that emanates from that

50
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 1: experience that I had. And obviously it's evolved a lot

51
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 1: of different ways since then. And I bet if you

52
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:46,640
Speaker 1: look at his offense now, it's evolved a lot since

53
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 1: then as well. That's just the nature of what we do.

54
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 1: The game has changed in a lot of different ways,

55
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 1: so you try to grow and evolve with the game

56
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 1: the different innovations, but the roots of it go all

57
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:57,919
Speaker 1: the way back to what we're doing here in the

58
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 1: early nineties. See entering a third season together. How do

59
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:04,520
Speaker 1: they compliment each other on the field but also off

60
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 1: the field in terms of they've experienced a lot in

61
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 1: just two seasons. Well, I think they're really good friends.

62
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 1: I think they know each other well. They spend a

63
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:15,519
Speaker 1: lot of time together in the building, they spend time

64
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 1: together outside of the building. I think they have a

65
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 1: real mutual respect for each other. I think they have

66
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 1: mutual admiration and affection for each other, and you can

67
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 1: see that just how they interact together. So I do

68
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:29,639
Speaker 1: think that helps them a great deal On the field.

69
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:33,080
Speaker 1: They're both very instinctive players, mature players for their years.

70
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 1: They pick up the game really easily, and they pick

71
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 1: it up well, and they see the game the right way.

72
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 1: So I think they can play off of each other

73
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 1: in that regard too. But I do think it's not mandatory.

74
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 1: You don't have to have this and off the field

75
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 1: relationship with guys. But my experience has been when you

76
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 1: do and you're in positions they compliment each other, that

77
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 1: certainly helps you. You know, once the ball kicks off

78
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 1: and you start playing the game on the field, don't

79
00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 1: see you are gulps of team and as individuals or

80
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 1: in what way he doesn't help to tea Yeah, I

81
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 1: think it helps everybody. And it's not just two guys obviously,

82
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 1: it's them and all of their teammates having a relationship.

83
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 1: I mean, I think that's that's when you start, you know,

84
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 1: building something that's special. Uh, you know, relationships and trust

85
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:19,480
Speaker 1: that are that are developed off the field. Uh, there's

86
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:22,600
Speaker 1: no question positively impact the execution on the field because

87
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 1: you know each other, you talk to each other, you

88
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:26,919
Speaker 1: care about each other, you fight for each other. I

89
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 1: think all those things are what you're trying to build

90
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:34,720
Speaker 1: on your team game. Oh, I think he's improved in

91
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 1: every area. I do think when he came in, Uh,

92
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 1: you know, he was beyond his years in terms of

93
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:43,280
Speaker 1: his understanding and his instincts and feel for the game.

94
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 1: But I think the thing that impresses me the most

95
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,040
Speaker 1: about him, He's had a lot of success early on

96
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:51,359
Speaker 1: in his career, but you know, he wants to be great.

97
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 1: He works at at every day at every part of

98
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:57,280
Speaker 1: his game. And you talk about understanding the running game,

99
00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:59,600
Speaker 1: you know what we're doing, the schemes we use, how

100
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,279
Speaker 1: they line against, you know what the defensers are trying

101
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 1: to do. And then protection and route running and all

102
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 1: the different aspects of his game. So he's a very

103
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:09,159
Speaker 1: serious minded guy who wants to be great and he

104
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 1: works hard every day at it. I'm ready, I was

105
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 1: such a cloud surrounded him heading into last year. Now

106
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,600
Speaker 1: that clost been lifted, what's his mental aspect to him

107
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:20,600
Speaker 1: like heading into year three. Well, you'll have to ask

108
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:23,599
Speaker 1: him what it is, but for my perception, you know,

109
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 1: he's been a very focused guy, and really he's been

110
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 1: that way since I've known him. He's serious minded. He

111
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:31,920
Speaker 1: wants to be a great football player, and he works

112
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 1: hard at it every day. And you see that in

113
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 1: the meeting room, you see that in the practice field,

114
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 1: and then you certainly see it, you know, on Sundays,

115
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:41,039
Speaker 1: and you know that's continued. I thought he handled the

116
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 1: distractions really well last year. There's a lot of stuff

117
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 1: going around around in his life that he had to

118
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 1: deal with, and I thought for the most part when

119
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 1: he was here, he was pretty locked in and did

120
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 1: what he needed to do. Now that's behind him, I

121
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 1: just think you see him that much more focused, that

122
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:58,799
Speaker 1: much more ready to go. This is Connor Williams's first

123
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:02,039
Speaker 1: regular season game and Joe's obviously now you're preferred starter.

124
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 1: Type of challenge does that front present for them? It's

125
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:08,919
Speaker 1: a really good front. Obviously, they're really good on the

126
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 1: defensive line, they're good inside, they're good on the edges.

127
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 1: They have a lot of different guys who play. They're

128
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 1: front seven's outstanding. So that presents a challenge not only

129
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 1: for the new guys who are playing, but presents a

130
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:21,920
Speaker 1: challenge for our entire offense. And you know, the biggest

131
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:23,719
Speaker 1: thing we try to do is focus on us and

132
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,040
Speaker 1: make sure we're doing what we need to do. Guys

133
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:28,719
Speaker 1: working hard to do their job and communicating and playing

134
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:32,720
Speaker 1: well together, particularly on the offensive line. In the preseason,

135
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 1: you talked about how he handled adversity and he bounce

136
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 1: back from from bad plays For a rookie going against

137
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 1: somebody like Kawan Shot mean, is that the most important

138
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 1: thing in a situation? Yeah, And I think understanding that's

139
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:46,040
Speaker 1: the nature of the National Football League. The guys you

140
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 1: go against in practice every day. It's rare that one

141
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 1: player just simply dominates another guy all day long. I mean,

142
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:54,599
Speaker 1: the nature of our game is as competitive the guys

143
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 1: on the team and going against you. He's a good

144
00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:00,280
Speaker 1: football player, So you're gonna have some success and have

145
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:02,480
Speaker 1: some adversity. You have to keep playing and you try

146
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 1: to put that last play behind you and focus on

147
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:06,920
Speaker 1: this play. Getting to the next play is a really

148
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 1: important concept in this league. And you know, the sooner

149
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 1: younger players realize that overcoming adversity, overcoming success and getting

150
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 1: locked in on the task at hand. That's what allows

151
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 1: them to grow as players. So who's available for practice

152
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 1: for the caban and the other guys who Yeah, we

153
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 1: don't anticipate obviously Travis Daytone and Xavier Woods practicing today,

154
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 1: but everybody else should do something in practice. He said

155
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 1: that Travis Fredick reached out to you about going today

156
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 1: Houston game to be with the team, as he reached

157
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 1: out to you about going to Carolina and traveling with him.

158
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 1: Not yet. Do you think he would have made that

159
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:48,360
Speaker 1: sort of trip. I would anticipate it. Yeah, you know,

160
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 1: he's been with us, he's he's working out in the

161
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 1: weight room, he's in our meetings, he's at our walkthrough.

162
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 1: So he's been a part of our team, and uh,

163
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 1: you know, so I do anticipate him just continuing to

164
00:07:57,640 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 1: be a part of it. He didn't have any carres

165
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 1: first time in the preseason coming into regular season. You've

166
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 1: been around backs that have been limited or not had

167
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 1: any Does it take them a while to get adjusted,

168
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 1: even if it is five carries, seven carries or whatever. Yeah,

169
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 1: I think you'll have to ask him. You know, we've

170
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 1: always been pretty limited with our featured back in the preseason.

171
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 1: You know, when Zeke played as a rookie, I think

172
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 1: he only played in the one preseason game, got a

173
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 1: handful of carries. So you know, it certainly helps those

174
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 1: guys to play. But I think when you talk about

175
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 1: the risk award at that position, once they get to

176
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 1: a certain time in their career, is probably better just

177
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 1: to arrest him. Again, he works very hard in practice,

178
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:36,560
Speaker 1: tries to make it as game like as possible. Like

179
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 1: with everybody in week one, you haven't played in a

180
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 1: real live game, you know, in six or seven months,

181
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 1: so everybody's gonna have to get acclimate and get used

182
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 1: to it. Two starting quarterbacks this weekend, Dak and Canon.

183
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:50,840
Speaker 1: Beyond the added Damchi with the drum game, or there's

184
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 1: some other traits that they share. Oh, that's a good question.

185
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 1: I do think they challenge you so many different ways.

186
00:08:57,800 --> 00:08:59,679
Speaker 1: And you said it starts with their ability to throw

187
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 1: the ball, throw the ball from the pocket, throw the

188
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 1: ball out in space, and then run. You know, you

189
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 1: have design runs for these kinds of players, and then

190
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 1: you have runs that happen because they make a play

191
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:14,080
Speaker 1: and you know they can function within the system. When

192
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 1: things break down, they can get out and beat you

193
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:18,240
Speaker 1: with their feet, So you know they're dangerous guys. The

194
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 1: premium on, you know, making sure that you contain them,

195
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 1: you tackle them in space, and somehow, some way you

196
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 1: just corral them, I think is really really important. So

197
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 1: I think they're both great competitors, and they certainly had

198
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 1: big impacts on their teams. Do you see for what

199
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 1: he did as a rookie and then missing the playoffs

200
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:43,439
Speaker 1: last year? Yeah, I mean, Dak to me, right from

201
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:45,840
Speaker 1: the get go has handled every situation really well, and

202
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 1: he comes to work every day with an unbelievable spirit.

203
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 1: He's got a bouncing a step, and he's got live eyes.

204
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 1: He's always got a smile. He's always working as hard

205
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:55,679
Speaker 1: as anybody would have in our building, and that hasn't

206
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:59,440
Speaker 1: changed through success, through adversity, and through any ups and

207
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 1: downs that he's out over the course of his careers.

208
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 1: Had a great offseason, one of our leaders was named

209
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:07,559
Speaker 1: one of our captains. He and Zach Martin on offense,

210
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:10,440
Speaker 1: and Sean Lee and Tyrone Crawford on defense and Chris

211
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 1: Jones on special team. So you know, he's just so

212
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 1: highly regarded in our organization. The example he sets every day,

213
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 1: and I think he's excited about the opportunity. Are y'all

214
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:21,960
Speaker 1: at a point where Malie Collins is s full go

215
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 1: or are you still anticipating practicing today? So hopefully it'll

216
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:27,719
Speaker 1: be good in the early part of practice and can

217
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 1: continue the work. What's the hardest part of getting a

218
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:35,439
Speaker 1: team ready for Week one? I think there's a lot

219
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:38,960
Speaker 1: of uncertainty. You know, with your team, guys you haven't

220
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 1: seen in game action before. You know, maybe you have

221
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:46,560
Speaker 1: a new combination of guys on your team, the players,

222
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 1: the coaches, and then likewise the same thing when you're

223
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:53,320
Speaker 1: viewing the opponent. There's uncertainty. You're watching some tape from

224
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 1: the preseason, but typically that's not what the team is

225
00:10:57,040 --> 00:11:00,320
Speaker 1: going to really do once the regular season starts. Sometimes

226
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:02,320
Speaker 1: they have new combinations of guys you haven't seen them

227
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 1: play for that team, or they have new coaches. So

228
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 1: there's a lot of stuff that you have to get

229
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:09,200
Speaker 1: ready for that you haven't necessarily seen. Whyce you get

230
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:11,840
Speaker 1: into the rhythm of the season. Teams have kind of

231
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 1: a history and a track record that you see on tape.

232
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:17,080
Speaker 1: Week one is just different that way, for yourself and

233
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 1: for the team, you're going against you overthink it absolutely?

234
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:23,320
Speaker 1: How do you avoid just tell yourself not to overthink it,

235
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 1: you know, because it's easy. You have a lot of

236
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 1: different ideas of things you want to do. You've been

237
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 1: thinking about this for six months, and we're gonna do this.

238
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:35,040
Speaker 1: We're gonna do this. You've been working on all these

239
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 1: different things, and there are only so many plays in

240
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:40,440
Speaker 1: a game plan, and there's only so many, you know,

241
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:42,800
Speaker 1: defenses you can run and you have to pay it

242
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 1: back down to do what you do best. And so

243
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:46,960
Speaker 1: again you have to check yourself on that kind of stuff.

244
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:51,320
Speaker 1: The wide receiver rotation, how do you anticipate that? You know,

245
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:53,040
Speaker 1: it's kind of been set here where you knew what

246
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 1: terns is and a coal How do you anticipate those

247
00:11:56,000 --> 00:12:00,040
Speaker 1: that working this year? We anticipate those guys playing and

248
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,880
Speaker 1: competing each week for an opportunity to have a role

249
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:06,200
Speaker 1: on Sundays, and that's been a really healthy thing for

250
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:08,559
Speaker 1: our team up to this point. We don't really feel

251
00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 1: like we have anybody who's deficient at anything. Well, he

252
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:13,840
Speaker 1: can't do this, he can't do that, you know, I

253
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 1: think each of the guys we have that are going

254
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:18,080
Speaker 1: to be up for this game or versatile. You can

255
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:20,120
Speaker 1: put them in different spots. They can play outside, they

256
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:22,720
Speaker 1: can play inside, they can run a variety of routes.

257
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 1: They're good blockers, so they can contribute a lot of

258
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 1: different ways. So we'll compete each week and we'll have

259
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 1: a group of guys who are up for the game

260
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:32,960
Speaker 1: and then try to use them accordingly. If you have

261
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:36,679
Speaker 1: guys that you don't feel they're deficient at anything, do

262
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 1: you have guys that are overly proficient? Yeah, I think

263
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 1: we do. I think we do, and I think that

264
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 1: word versatility is what's what they're most proficient at. Again,

265
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 1: you can put them in different spots and it's not like, hey,

266
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 1: this is the only thing that this guy can do

267
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:54,600
Speaker 1: from this position, and I think that can be threatening

268
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:57,319
Speaker 1: to a defense. Particularly we have a few different guys,

269
00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 1: we're able to do that. All right, go to see

270
00:13:01,920 --> 00:14:06,079
Speaker 1: you guys. Okay, I d seeing results my show. Okay,
