WEBVTT - Chris Foerster Breaks Down O-Line Assignments | Press Pass

0:00:02.040 --> 0:00:06.240
<v Speaker 1>Helen Moore has gotten a lot of opportunity beings between

0:00:06.400 --> 0:00:09.920
<v Speaker 1>May and and now. Have you seen growth from him

0:00:09.920 --> 0:00:10.600
<v Speaker 1>over that span?

0:00:11.840 --> 0:00:13.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, he's you know, Jalen has always been a consistent

0:00:14.000 --> 0:00:15.160
<v Speaker 2>performer for us. He really has.

0:00:15.200 --> 0:00:17.360
<v Speaker 3>When he's filled in, he's done. I think it's been

0:00:17.880 --> 0:00:20.400
<v Speaker 3>more so this year because now we're however many practices

0:00:20.400 --> 0:00:23.640
<v Speaker 3>in and there's there's been no trend. So, uh, Jalen's

0:00:23.640 --> 0:00:26.360
<v Speaker 3>gotten all the work and uh, he's always you know, Jalen.

0:00:26.480 --> 0:00:28.240
<v Speaker 3>Jalen has a place in the NFL because he is

0:00:28.240 --> 0:00:31.120
<v Speaker 3>a good pass blocker. He's competed well in pass blocking

0:00:31.160 --> 0:00:32.680
<v Speaker 3>this year with with all the guys they have over

0:00:32.680 --> 0:00:36.000
<v Speaker 3>their Russian run game is always something that he's challenged with.

0:00:36.360 --> 0:00:37.919
<v Speaker 3>Not that he doesn't like the run block or can

0:00:38.000 --> 0:00:40.280
<v Speaker 3>it's just as how he's made up his body type.

0:00:40.320 --> 0:00:42.720
<v Speaker 2>He's not. He's not the it's explosive quick or it

0:00:42.760 --> 0:00:43.800
<v Speaker 2>gets under people as well.

0:00:43.840 --> 0:00:45.680
<v Speaker 3>But but the guy's don't really He's always done a

0:00:45.680 --> 0:00:47.440
<v Speaker 3>good job, always been proud of him, and yet he

0:00:47.479 --> 0:00:48.440
<v Speaker 3>is he's gotten even better.

0:00:48.440 --> 0:00:48.720
<v Speaker 2>He is.

0:00:49.479 --> 0:00:51.479
<v Speaker 3>He's just he's a low burned guy and sometimes you

0:00:51.479 --> 0:00:53.360
<v Speaker 3>think is he really getting it? But then all of

0:00:53.360 --> 0:00:56.040
<v Speaker 3>a sudden you realize you see steady improvement in certain areas,

0:00:56.040 --> 0:00:57.200
<v Speaker 3>and I've seen that continue.

0:00:57.720 --> 0:01:00.680
<v Speaker 1>Is that a challenge for both of your starting tackle

0:01:00.800 --> 0:01:02.520
<v Speaker 1>right now? And we give its hand more the.

0:01:03.280 --> 0:01:06.520
<v Speaker 3>Run blocking Colton, Colton's a good run blocker. Colton's Colton's

0:01:06.520 --> 0:01:08.680
<v Speaker 3>a better run blocker. Colton is a I won't put

0:01:08.720 --> 0:01:11.080
<v Speaker 3>him quite in mcleinchy's categories a run blocker. Mike was

0:01:11.120 --> 0:01:14.959
<v Speaker 3>the elite run blocker. Colton, Colton's not quite at that level,

0:01:15.000 --> 0:01:17.200
<v Speaker 3>although he's getting there. He's really worked hard. Colton takes

0:01:17.200 --> 0:01:19.119
<v Speaker 3>so much pride in everything he does. He gets better

0:01:19.160 --> 0:01:19.600
<v Speaker 3>at everything.

0:01:20.880 --> 0:01:21.720
<v Speaker 2>The swing tackle.

0:01:21.840 --> 0:01:24.880
<v Speaker 4>If Jalen's the starting left tackle, if he had a

0:01:24.920 --> 0:01:25.760
<v Speaker 4>game tonight.

0:01:26.280 --> 0:01:27.560
<v Speaker 2>Well still it's still up in the air.

0:01:27.600 --> 0:01:29.800
<v Speaker 3>I mean Hubbard and uh and uh Parker are the

0:01:29.800 --> 0:01:30.920
<v Speaker 3>two guys competing for it.

0:01:31.680 --> 0:01:32.720
<v Speaker 2>So they're both working hard.

0:01:32.800 --> 0:01:36.240
<v Speaker 5>Well, we'll find out when we find out healthy.

0:01:36.240 --> 0:01:37.760
<v Speaker 2>What does he at, what does he bring his off

0:01:37.760 --> 0:01:39.440
<v Speaker 2>the one you know John brings.

0:01:39.720 --> 0:01:41.680
<v Speaker 3>It's funny when John started playing more in the huddle,

0:01:41.760 --> 0:01:43.520
<v Speaker 3>in the huddle of guys would come over and say,

0:01:44.000 --> 0:01:45.679
<v Speaker 3>the guys didn't know johnas our first year with us.

0:01:45.680 --> 0:01:48.560
<v Speaker 3>They're like, man, this guy, this guy's dog out there.

0:01:48.640 --> 0:01:50.760
<v Speaker 3>This guy competes this guy if it's tough. This guy

0:01:50.840 --> 0:01:53.560
<v Speaker 3>is good in the huddle, he's encouraging, he's gets fired up.

0:01:53.600 --> 0:01:55.080
<v Speaker 3>I mean he's he's out there to win the game

0:01:55.400 --> 0:01:56.200
<v Speaker 3>and plays really hard.

0:01:56.200 --> 0:01:57.040
<v Speaker 2>So he adds that level.

0:01:57.080 --> 0:01:59.560
<v Speaker 3>He adds a level of toughness from the line perspective,

0:01:59.600 --> 0:02:01.880
<v Speaker 3>it's flex ability. I mean, that's the thing that you know,

0:02:02.000 --> 0:02:03.720
<v Speaker 3>when we lost him on the field goal.

0:02:03.760 --> 0:02:05.080
<v Speaker 2>You know, when you're one week.

0:02:05.000 --> 0:02:07.880
<v Speaker 3>Last year, it's like, I remember the game since I remember,

0:02:08.000 --> 0:02:10.080
<v Speaker 3>all of a sudden, we lost a guy that plays

0:02:10.080 --> 0:02:14.079
<v Speaker 3>three spots on the inside. So he has flexibility, leadership, toughness,

0:02:14.240 --> 0:02:16.400
<v Speaker 3>all the things that John Felician whiz. A guy that

0:02:16.840 --> 0:02:18.800
<v Speaker 3>I remember when he came out of college, we had

0:02:18.800 --> 0:02:21.320
<v Speaker 3>a local pro day and I was I was there

0:02:21.320 --> 0:02:25.040
<v Speaker 3>working them out and every since, this guy's not gonna

0:02:25.040 --> 0:02:26.960
<v Speaker 3>make it, and ten years later he is still going,

0:02:27.000 --> 0:02:28.320
<v Speaker 3>and that that's kind of is a testament to the

0:02:28.360 --> 0:02:29.000
<v Speaker 3>kind of guy he is.

0:02:30.360 --> 0:02:33.800
<v Speaker 5>McCaffrey Offensive Player of the Year. You know, he is

0:02:33.919 --> 0:02:37.040
<v Speaker 5>the top of his position. So what do you look for,

0:02:37.120 --> 0:02:39.079
<v Speaker 5>what do you work on with him to make him

0:02:39.120 --> 0:02:39.680
<v Speaker 5>even better?

0:02:40.120 --> 0:02:40.799
<v Speaker 1>In the coming year.

0:02:41.240 --> 0:02:43.200
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I mean he's like he came to me, he said,

0:02:43.280 --> 0:02:45.560
<v Speaker 3>give me so many days and I'll stop missing some cuts.

0:02:45.560 --> 0:02:48.239
<v Speaker 3>He misses cuts and h he you know, sometimes is

0:02:48.280 --> 0:02:50.639
<v Speaker 3>in the sharp. Like we've said, I think I mentioned

0:02:50.720 --> 0:02:53.440
<v Speaker 3>with all these players, you have to keep practicing, and

0:02:53.440 --> 0:02:55.240
<v Speaker 3>football is a hard game to keep practicing because there's

0:02:55.240 --> 0:02:56.360
<v Speaker 3>the hitting and the hitting and the heating. So you

0:02:56.360 --> 0:02:58.640
<v Speaker 3>have to find line between getting ready and not beating

0:02:58.680 --> 0:03:01.200
<v Speaker 3>yourself up. It's it's there's always stuff to work on,

0:03:01.240 --> 0:03:03.320
<v Speaker 3>and we add something to the offense, the defense presents

0:03:03.320 --> 0:03:05.400
<v Speaker 3>something different. I mean, that's what I see from Christian

0:03:05.440 --> 0:03:07.760
<v Speaker 3>is that you know, he's the common he's going to be.

0:03:07.800 --> 0:03:08.359
<v Speaker 2>He wants to be.

0:03:08.280 --> 0:03:11.760
<v Speaker 3>Perfect, so he's never he's never satisfied, and he's always

0:03:11.760 --> 0:03:14.280
<v Speaker 3>hard on himself, and so he will just continue to

0:03:14.280 --> 0:03:16.600
<v Speaker 3>work hard at everything he does and work and he'll

0:03:16.600 --> 0:03:18.280
<v Speaker 3>make mistakes, you know, beat himself up and then do

0:03:18.320 --> 0:03:19.400
<v Speaker 3>the best he can to fix it.

0:03:21.000 --> 0:03:23.240
<v Speaker 5>Trying to not let him get too down on when

0:03:23.280 --> 0:03:23.600
<v Speaker 5>he does.

0:03:24.000 --> 0:03:25.799
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, his is not that because I've always said I

0:03:25.840 --> 0:03:29.160
<v Speaker 3>don't like I've come around to not like coaching perfectionists

0:03:29.600 --> 0:03:33.040
<v Speaker 3>because it's an imperfect game and I'm like, and you

0:03:33.160 --> 0:03:34.880
<v Speaker 3>go in the tank because you're not perfect.

0:03:35.200 --> 0:03:37.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, get in line. Nobody.

0:03:37.240 --> 0:03:39.600
<v Speaker 3>None of us are coaches, played, none of us Christian.

0:03:39.800 --> 0:03:42.640
<v Speaker 3>Christian is more. He's hard himself, but it isn't He's

0:03:42.680 --> 0:03:44.920
<v Speaker 3>really really good. So when those hard plays come, there's

0:03:44.920 --> 0:03:47.000
<v Speaker 3>not many of them. He probably overdes it, but it

0:03:47.040 --> 0:03:49.680
<v Speaker 3>doesn't put him in a downward spile. It actually motivates him.

0:03:50.080 --> 0:03:53.040
<v Speaker 3>Other guys, I'm not going to make names those. I'm

0:03:53.120 --> 0:03:55.560
<v Speaker 3>like when they're reading a college report and they say

0:03:55.600 --> 0:03:57.600
<v Speaker 3>this guy's a perfectionist, and I'm like, I almost want

0:03:57.600 --> 0:03:58.480
<v Speaker 3>to cross him off my list.

0:03:58.640 --> 0:03:59.680
<v Speaker 2>In the offensive line.

0:03:59.520 --> 0:04:06.640
<v Speaker 1>World, John, do you envision a scenario like a couple

0:04:06.680 --> 0:04:09.040
<v Speaker 1>of years ago where you're platooning him and one of

0:04:09.040 --> 0:04:11.440
<v Speaker 1>the younger guys in a right guard.

0:04:12.080 --> 0:04:14.240
<v Speaker 2>You know it's not ideal, I I I I've said,

0:04:14.280 --> 0:04:15.080
<v Speaker 2>but I do it.

0:04:15.120 --> 0:04:16.880
<v Speaker 3>I've done it. I've done a lot, and I've done

0:04:16.880 --> 0:04:20.520
<v Speaker 3>it more with the idea like the old guy's in there,

0:04:20.960 --> 0:04:22.440
<v Speaker 3>and then the young guy.

0:04:22.400 --> 0:04:23.400
<v Speaker 2>You put him in for a series.

0:04:23.520 --> 0:04:24.919
<v Speaker 3>You put him in for a series, and as the

0:04:24.960 --> 0:04:26.800
<v Speaker 3>old guy goes to the season, he may start to

0:04:26.839 --> 0:04:29.320
<v Speaker 3>descend because he is an aging veteran player, and as

0:04:29.320 --> 0:04:31.240
<v Speaker 3>he descends, you're hoping that experience that you're giving a

0:04:31.240 --> 0:04:33.920
<v Speaker 3>young guy in spurts help him get better. We did

0:04:33.920 --> 0:04:36.360
<v Speaker 3>that with Spencer and Dan. We we reversed it. I

0:04:36.400 --> 0:04:38.840
<v Speaker 3>think Spencer started and Dan Runsko gave him a rep.

0:04:38.960 --> 0:04:41.440
<v Speaker 3>But you would hope that the off the young player

0:04:41.440 --> 0:04:43.440
<v Speaker 3>would get better through the course. Enough they don't. The

0:04:43.480 --> 0:04:45.279
<v Speaker 3>old guy takes over. You try not to do it.

0:04:45.279 --> 0:04:46.719
<v Speaker 3>You try to make a decision and say, hey, whoever

0:04:46.760 --> 0:04:48.600
<v Speaker 3>that's starting right guard is or let whatever it is,

0:04:48.680 --> 0:04:49.960
<v Speaker 3>whatever situation, that.

0:04:49.839 --> 0:04:52.120
<v Speaker 2>Guy's gonna be our starter, and you try to get

0:04:52.160 --> 0:04:52.440
<v Speaker 2>that way.

0:04:52.480 --> 0:04:53.840
<v Speaker 3>But if you can't get it, if two guys are

0:04:53.839 --> 0:04:55.880
<v Speaker 3>equal talent, it doesn't hurt to platoon him. I know

0:04:55.920 --> 0:04:57.240
<v Speaker 3>the guys don't like it, cause I think they get

0:04:57.240 --> 0:04:58.520
<v Speaker 3>they they feel like they get on a rhythm.

0:04:58.560 --> 0:05:03.240
<v Speaker 1>But as to say, do you think that Spencer Berger

0:05:03.360 --> 0:05:05.799
<v Speaker 1>is still in the mix for a week one given

0:05:05.800 --> 0:05:07.080
<v Speaker 1>his injury? Will you have enough?

0:05:07.360 --> 0:05:08.760
<v Speaker 2>We'll see when you get there. I mean I can't.

0:05:08.760 --> 0:05:10.800
<v Speaker 2>I'm not gonna, you know, go there and try to

0:05:10.839 --> 0:05:12.479
<v Speaker 2>figure out what what it looks like. At that point,

0:05:12.560 --> 0:05:12.880
<v Speaker 2>we don't know.

0:05:12.839 --> 0:05:14.359
<v Speaker 3>Who will be up, you know, you're saying, if everybody

0:05:14.360 --> 0:05:16.599
<v Speaker 3>says healthy and Spencer comes back, odds are the guys

0:05:16.640 --> 0:05:18.600
<v Speaker 3>that have been there. But I'm not gonna rule Spencer out.

0:05:18.640 --> 0:05:20.680
<v Speaker 3>You just don't know how it plays out. And and

0:05:20.680 --> 0:05:21.280
<v Speaker 3>and you.

0:05:21.200 --> 0:05:24.400
<v Speaker 2>Know there is something too Monday night football, right is

0:05:24.400 --> 0:05:25.040
<v Speaker 2>Monday right? Really?

0:05:25.080 --> 0:05:27.719
<v Speaker 3>Mona Yeah, and bright lights and Aaron Rod, you know

0:05:27.760 --> 0:05:29.920
<v Speaker 3>the whole thing. And if you're a young player, you

0:05:30.000 --> 0:05:33.039
<v Speaker 3>might hell, you never know, right, It's it's it's it's

0:05:33.080 --> 0:05:34.919
<v Speaker 3>just it's tough things.

0:05:35.400 --> 0:05:37.680
<v Speaker 2>Williams will be available week one. Have you kept in

0:05:37.720 --> 0:05:41.080
<v Speaker 2>touch with him at all? I haven't heard from Trent recently. No, No.

0:05:41.400 --> 0:05:43.320
<v Speaker 3>I heard from in the off season a little bit,

0:05:43.320 --> 0:05:45.360
<v Speaker 3>and then, like I know, the off season was fairly

0:05:45.360 --> 0:05:49.039
<v Speaker 3>normal until it got time to this the things start

0:05:49.120 --> 0:05:51.680
<v Speaker 3>doing whatever it's doing, and I haven't heard from it.

0:05:52.640 --> 0:05:54.720
<v Speaker 4>Like with his with his game film, obviously, it is

0:05:54.800 --> 0:05:56.599
<v Speaker 4>on such a different level than a lot of tackles.

0:05:56.720 --> 0:05:59.240
<v Speaker 4>Is there is there still teachable stuff that he does

0:05:59.320 --> 0:06:02.160
<v Speaker 4>because he is it's a different caliber tackle that guys

0:06:02.200 --> 0:06:03.720
<v Speaker 4>can pick up on and try to replicate.

0:06:05.360 --> 0:06:06.320
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I'm sorry.

0:06:06.920 --> 0:06:09.159
<v Speaker 4>When you're just showing game film trends.

0:06:09.279 --> 0:06:10.920
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, yeah, no, yeah, no, it's yeah, there's stuff

0:06:10.920 --> 0:06:13.440
<v Speaker 3>out there. I'm sorry, there's stuff both ways, pros and cons.

0:06:13.480 --> 0:06:14.960
<v Speaker 3>I mean I go through the cutups now and Trend's

0:06:15.000 --> 0:06:17.360
<v Speaker 3>not there. But you know, hey, if left tackle would

0:06:17.360 --> 0:06:18.880
<v Speaker 3>have done this here would have been better for Look

0:06:18.920 --> 0:06:20.680
<v Speaker 3>how this is a really good job by Trends. So

0:06:20.720 --> 0:06:22.840
<v Speaker 3>like every other player, Trent just has some more elite

0:06:22.839 --> 0:06:24.880
<v Speaker 3>plays and other guys, and as the years have gone on,

0:06:24.960 --> 0:06:26.480
<v Speaker 3>maybe those have been a little less.

0:06:26.480 --> 0:06:28.919
<v Speaker 2>Still a very consistent performer and a great player.

0:06:28.920 --> 0:06:31.920
<v Speaker 3>Obviously won best in this generation, but but he definitely

0:06:32.000 --> 0:06:34.599
<v Speaker 3>was a uh, you know, there's definitely stuff to point.

0:06:34.400 --> 0:06:35.160
<v Speaker 2>Out pro and con.

0:06:36.040 --> 0:06:38.320
<v Speaker 3>The center is in charge of setting the protections of

0:06:38.360 --> 0:06:41.040
<v Speaker 3>the minuscrimmage on other teams that seem like the quarterback

0:06:41.200 --> 0:06:42.680
<v Speaker 3>has that some other team.

0:06:42.880 --> 0:06:44.599
<v Speaker 2>Why do you like to give that responsibility to the Senate?

0:06:45.240 --> 0:06:47.280
<v Speaker 3>Well, the two things that we've eliminated, and this has

0:06:47.279 --> 0:06:50.120
<v Speaker 3>always been a discussion in different systems to put the

0:06:50.200 --> 0:06:52.720
<v Speaker 3>quarterback to point to Mike or let's center point the mic.

0:06:53.200 --> 0:06:55.600
<v Speaker 3>It's always been age old. The teams that wanted the

0:06:56.080 --> 0:06:58.000
<v Speaker 3>quarterback to do it or I don't know what they

0:06:58.000 --> 0:06:59.680
<v Speaker 3>did because i've been I mean I was with Peyton,

0:06:59.720 --> 0:07:03.520
<v Speaker 3>so he did everything. But the idea is to tell

0:07:03.520 --> 0:07:05.960
<v Speaker 3>it the quarback to worry about playing quarterback, and you

0:07:05.960 --> 0:07:08.280
<v Speaker 3>know he'll understand the protection. I'll understands hostives and things

0:07:08.279 --> 0:07:10.800
<v Speaker 3>like that. But to remike and do things like that.

0:07:11.120 --> 0:07:13.160
<v Speaker 3>Those teams are very very you know, they're good at it,

0:07:13.200 --> 0:07:15.120
<v Speaker 3>but it does take time away from other things. Doesn't

0:07:15.120 --> 0:07:16.800
<v Speaker 3>mean they do won't be great quarterbacks. Tom Brady did

0:07:16.840 --> 0:07:19.240
<v Speaker 3>and all those guys. So, but our system, I think

0:07:19.240 --> 0:07:21.200
<v Speaker 3>one of the reasons that I bought one hundred percent

0:07:21.280 --> 0:07:23.120
<v Speaker 3>believe it has to be the center is the moving pieces.

0:07:23.440 --> 0:07:25.320
<v Speaker 3>One of things that the way we set our protections

0:07:25.400 --> 0:07:27.240
<v Speaker 3>up and Kyle did a great job of this, and

0:07:27.240 --> 0:07:28.920
<v Speaker 3>we were doing it back in Washington and it kind

0:07:28.920 --> 0:07:31.280
<v Speaker 3>of came that way from Houston. We move all the time,

0:07:31.440 --> 0:07:34.160
<v Speaker 3>and it started on third downs, a little bit on

0:07:34.200 --> 0:07:36.760
<v Speaker 3>first and second and it's just exploded over the last

0:07:36.800 --> 0:07:40.720
<v Speaker 3>fifteen years. And all that movement. Think of doing all

0:07:40.720 --> 0:07:43.160
<v Speaker 3>that double movement, triple movements and making a mic point.

0:07:43.440 --> 0:07:45.360
<v Speaker 3>Of course quarterback, you can't do all that. I mean,

0:07:45.480 --> 0:07:48.239
<v Speaker 3>you just you can make one and then the picture changes.

0:07:48.440 --> 0:07:50.240
<v Speaker 3>I made the comment the other day I was Jake

0:07:50.280 --> 0:07:52.720
<v Speaker 3>Brendle had a you know, X number. I'm not gonna

0:07:52.720 --> 0:07:54.320
<v Speaker 3>go into how many, but X number of mental areas,

0:07:54.320 --> 0:07:57.400
<v Speaker 3>which is a lot higher, you know, than I'm used

0:07:57.400 --> 0:07:57.520
<v Speaker 3>to it.

0:07:57.520 --> 0:07:58.920
<v Speaker 2>And then I went back and looked at Alex Mack.

0:07:59.240 --> 0:08:00.640
<v Speaker 3>Then I called a couple of the guys that coach

0:08:00.680 --> 0:08:03.040
<v Speaker 3>in the system, and you realize they're gonna have more

0:08:03.240 --> 0:08:06.480
<v Speaker 3>because you just can't, you know, and imagine the quarterback

0:08:06.520 --> 0:08:08.440
<v Speaker 3>can't do it, there's too much going on, the wristband,

0:08:08.520 --> 0:08:09.000
<v Speaker 3>everything else.

0:08:09.240 --> 0:08:10.960
<v Speaker 2>Imagine you're I'm gonna do it.

0:08:10.960 --> 0:08:15.520
<v Speaker 3>I mean, it's the center gets down, he's like a

0:08:15.760 --> 0:08:18.080
<v Speaker 3>feet on the ground and we've got three guys in motion,

0:08:18.640 --> 0:08:20.679
<v Speaker 3>and he's like he's crooking his neck out like a turtle,

0:08:20.680 --> 0:08:22.280
<v Speaker 3>trying to see where the heck are these guys all

0:08:22.280 --> 0:08:24.880
<v Speaker 3>lined up? Not an excuse, but they end up having

0:08:24.880 --> 0:08:26.880
<v Speaker 3>a lot more a lot more mental layers because of that.

0:08:27.120 --> 0:08:29.880
<v Speaker 3>It's easy now, you know, I'm stagnant. I'll tell you, sorry, Peyton.

0:08:30.480 --> 0:08:31.840
<v Speaker 3>They were playing it. I wasn't there for this one,

0:08:31.840 --> 0:08:33.560
<v Speaker 3>but they played the Jets. The playoffs was Rex Ryane.

0:08:34.240 --> 0:08:36.160
<v Speaker 3>It was a championship game. I remember which one was.

0:08:36.400 --> 0:08:40.160
<v Speaker 2>By the way, Rex was so blitzed everywhere. He goes, look, stop,

0:08:40.600 --> 0:08:42.960
<v Speaker 2>don't I want to line up in one formation the

0:08:43.000 --> 0:08:44.960
<v Speaker 2>whole game? And I want I've been.

0:08:44.880 --> 0:08:46.800
<v Speaker 3>Done too by whatever whatever he said it was, or

0:08:46.840 --> 0:08:48.280
<v Speaker 3>the rest of the second half. He goes, I'll be

0:08:48.320 --> 0:08:49.520
<v Speaker 3>able to see what they're doing and I'll be able

0:08:49.520 --> 0:08:51.400
<v Speaker 3>to get us in the right play. But that's how,

0:08:51.440 --> 0:08:53.600
<v Speaker 3>that's that's why. So then every step you could go

0:08:53.640 --> 0:08:55.720
<v Speaker 3>beyond the one formation puts it more and more in

0:08:55.720 --> 0:08:58.640
<v Speaker 3>the quarterback and this system and what we do.

0:08:58.960 --> 0:09:01.959
<v Speaker 2>It's just not it's really that feasible to make a quarterback.

0:09:01.559 --> 0:09:05.839
<v Speaker 5>Point experienced tight ends and Ross Dulla and Charlie Warner,

0:09:06.000 --> 0:09:07.840
<v Speaker 5>how have you seen in these young tight ends going

0:09:07.880 --> 0:09:09.480
<v Speaker 5>to get a customer to the blocking scheme?

0:09:09.559 --> 0:09:10.559
<v Speaker 2>They've been good, man, these guys.

0:09:10.600 --> 0:09:12.360
<v Speaker 3>I was telling the other day, I mean, everybody's talking

0:09:12.360 --> 0:09:16.240
<v Speaker 3>about how how nine's doing so well and in the

0:09:16.440 --> 0:09:18.800
<v Speaker 3>eighty two all these guys are they just all of

0:09:18.840 --> 0:09:20.520
<v Speaker 3>them are doing a good job. And you stand out

0:09:20.520 --> 0:09:22.199
<v Speaker 3>all the time. I'm looking up the guy's doing a

0:09:22.200 --> 0:09:24.040
<v Speaker 3>good Guys do a good job. I'm not playing. They're

0:09:24.040 --> 0:09:25.920
<v Speaker 3>doing a really really good job. They all the fact

0:09:25.960 --> 0:09:28.600
<v Speaker 3>that George Kittle is embraces the run game and blocking.

0:09:29.040 --> 0:09:31.319
<v Speaker 3>You do it here or you're not here. And that's

0:09:31.360 --> 0:09:33.720
<v Speaker 3>been the one thing that I really love about Kyle

0:09:33.760 --> 0:09:36.240
<v Speaker 3>demands that the tight end coaches have that's the position,

0:09:36.240 --> 0:09:38.160
<v Speaker 3>and we have a guy that lead dog that does it.

0:09:38.640 --> 0:09:40.920
<v Speaker 2>So I think, you know, Charlie was was a great

0:09:40.920 --> 0:09:41.559
<v Speaker 2>player here.

0:09:41.440 --> 0:09:43.920
<v Speaker 3>And we'll miss Charlie and these guys have a lot

0:09:43.960 --> 0:09:45.280
<v Speaker 3>of work to do to catch up to Charlie, but

0:09:45.320 --> 0:09:46.680
<v Speaker 3>I think they're signs that will get there.

0:09:47.160 --> 0:09:50.040
<v Speaker 4>They have about seven different guys that can play center

0:09:50.120 --> 0:09:50.800
<v Speaker 4>in this camp.

0:09:52.480 --> 0:09:55.160
<v Speaker 2>Wise, Brendel at the top of that depth chart.

0:09:55.280 --> 0:09:58.360
<v Speaker 4>Is is he the best run blocker, past blocker.

0:09:58.960 --> 0:10:01.960
<v Speaker 2>He's one of the or is there any area where

0:10:01.960 --> 0:10:03.960
<v Speaker 2>the other guys are better or approach him. I made

0:10:03.960 --> 0:10:05.400
<v Speaker 2>a comment the other day of the guys. I said,

0:10:05.880 --> 0:10:06.880
<v Speaker 2>I said, here's I said, Jake.

0:10:07.120 --> 0:10:08.400
<v Speaker 3>I was coaching Jake and he did a great He

0:10:08.440 --> 0:10:09.800
<v Speaker 3>did a great job on a plane and I said,

0:10:10.040 --> 0:10:13.800
<v Speaker 3>I said, guys, take note of this. I've known Jake

0:10:13.800 --> 0:10:16.360
<v Speaker 3>Brendle since two thousand and something. I've known him for

0:10:16.400 --> 0:10:19.320
<v Speaker 3>a while, and I said, he does everything I asked

0:10:19.360 --> 0:10:21.200
<v Speaker 3>him to do, and that's why he's been here for

0:10:21.240 --> 0:10:21.640
<v Speaker 3>three years.

0:10:21.679 --> 0:10:21.839
<v Speaker 2>Right.

0:10:21.880 --> 0:10:23.959
<v Speaker 3>He does everything we asked him to do, and he

0:10:24.000 --> 0:10:26.800
<v Speaker 3>does it well. He has really good measurables. If you

0:10:26.840 --> 0:10:29.199
<v Speaker 3>held up his card, which have all the times and

0:10:29.240 --> 0:10:32.440
<v Speaker 3>everything on it, right, you're like, how's this guy not

0:10:32.679 --> 0:10:34.679
<v Speaker 3>is one of the top guys being drafted and he

0:10:34.720 --> 0:10:37.360
<v Speaker 3>was undrafted free agent. One of the major indicators for

0:10:37.400 --> 0:10:40.120
<v Speaker 3>center is arm length. He's had to overcome his arm

0:10:40.200 --> 0:10:42.400
<v Speaker 3>length a little bit, which because he was below the line,

0:10:42.720 --> 0:10:45.040
<v Speaker 3>and that was like, it's a huge one for offensive center. Said,

0:10:45.040 --> 0:10:46.480
<v Speaker 3>if you blow that line, most of those guys don't

0:10:46.520 --> 0:10:49.440
<v Speaker 3>make it. He just seemed like a couple anyway. So

0:10:50.080 --> 0:10:52.559
<v Speaker 3>whatever those little limitations are, he's learned how to overcome.

0:10:52.800 --> 0:10:54.719
<v Speaker 3>He struggled on the second level when when I first

0:10:54.760 --> 0:10:57.760
<v Speaker 3>got back with him here and he's fixed that. He's

0:10:57.760 --> 0:10:59.679
<v Speaker 3>done an excellent job on a secondle we taught addressed

0:10:59.679 --> 0:11:01.360
<v Speaker 3>how he because think about it. You go in to

0:11:01.400 --> 0:11:02.959
<v Speaker 3>block a guy, all of a sudden, Fred sticks out

0:11:03.000 --> 0:11:04.680
<v Speaker 3>his long arm and you're like, you know, you're like

0:11:04.679 --> 0:11:06.400
<v Speaker 3>a little brother trying to get to the big brother. Right,

0:11:06.440 --> 0:11:08.760
<v Speaker 3>he holds you off and you're I can't get to him.

0:11:08.840 --> 0:11:10.800
<v Speaker 3>That's what short arms do for you, and well, then

0:11:10.840 --> 0:11:12.719
<v Speaker 3>Jake's figured out how to how to how to overcome that.

0:11:13.080 --> 0:11:15.760
<v Speaker 3>He's he's very good in the run game, but his

0:11:15.800 --> 0:11:17.760
<v Speaker 3>past game has been really good. Teams now are putting

0:11:17.800 --> 0:11:19.800
<v Speaker 3>you in a lot of five O situations, meaning that

0:11:20.200 --> 0:11:21.920
<v Speaker 3>they put they try to somehow some way cover up

0:11:21.920 --> 0:11:24.160
<v Speaker 3>all five guys. It used to be pressures and now

0:11:24.160 --> 0:11:26.240
<v Speaker 3>it's not so much that there's replaces. They're pressuring once

0:11:26.240 --> 0:11:28.200
<v Speaker 3>I drop, you know, they're doing different things, but they

0:11:28.240 --> 0:11:30.760
<v Speaker 3>gets you in five guys blocking five guys. And now

0:11:31.280 --> 0:11:34.440
<v Speaker 3>Jake and Joe uh, Joe Graves, one of my guys

0:11:34.440 --> 0:11:36.240
<v Speaker 3>works with me. He said, said, you know, you really

0:11:36.240 --> 0:11:38.160
<v Speaker 3>go through Jake probably is one of the better five

0:11:38.200 --> 0:11:40.880
<v Speaker 3>O centers that he holds up pretty good. So he's

0:11:40.880 --> 0:11:43.160
<v Speaker 3>an athletic guy like that. He can hold up in

0:11:43.200 --> 0:11:45.120
<v Speaker 3>five Oh, he's got again deal with He's not the

0:11:45.120 --> 0:11:47.640
<v Speaker 3>biggest guy, so when they put their put their head

0:11:47.640 --> 0:11:49.120
<v Speaker 3>here and try and drive him back, it is a

0:11:49.200 --> 0:11:51.880
<v Speaker 3>challenge for him. So but he's he's learned to do it.

0:11:51.960 --> 0:11:54.000
<v Speaker 3>And that's what I realize about it. We keep trump,

0:11:54.040 --> 0:11:56.320
<v Speaker 3>you know, we troubleshoot it. And then he goes out

0:11:56.360 --> 0:11:57.480
<v Speaker 3>and he's able to do it. So that's why I

0:11:57.480 --> 0:11:59.720
<v Speaker 3>would say the level of success, everybody has limitations. How

0:11:59.720 --> 0:12:01.800
<v Speaker 3>do you become those limitations? Jake done a great job

0:12:01.840 --> 0:12:02.040
<v Speaker 3>of it.

0:12:04.360 --> 0:12:06.920
<v Speaker 4>Dominant Pooty handled his first training campgn.

0:12:06.800 --> 0:12:09.720
<v Speaker 3>Awesome as good as is one of the better rookies.

0:12:09.760 --> 0:12:11.600
<v Speaker 3>I'm not ready to crown him yet as far as

0:12:11.640 --> 0:12:12.800
<v Speaker 3>one of the better rookies, but he is.

0:12:12.720 --> 0:12:13.520
<v Speaker 2>One of the better rookies.

0:12:13.559 --> 0:12:16.040
<v Speaker 3>And the day we drafted him, or right after we

0:12:16.120 --> 0:12:19.079
<v Speaker 3>drafted him, the video guy said that he called right

0:12:19.120 --> 0:12:20.840
<v Speaker 3>away when he got his iPad. They'd been sent him

0:12:20.840 --> 0:12:22.800
<v Speaker 3>out as soon as we get the kids signed and

0:12:22.880 --> 0:12:25.280
<v Speaker 3>or whenever, but they sent out to him. He said,

0:12:25.280 --> 0:12:30.800
<v Speaker 3>where do I get all of coaches teaching mets? We

0:12:30.840 --> 0:12:34.360
<v Speaker 3>record everything, and he wanted every single meeting. He's by

0:12:34.360 --> 0:12:36.480
<v Speaker 3>the time he showed up for rookie Minie Camp, which

0:12:36.480 --> 0:12:37.959
<v Speaker 3>I think was the week two weeks after the draft,

0:12:38.120 --> 0:12:40.400
<v Speaker 3>he'd watched all of my install meetings from phase one,

0:12:40.440 --> 0:12:41.960
<v Speaker 3>phase two and everything we've done to that point.

0:12:41.960 --> 0:12:45.280
<v Speaker 2>He'd watched them all and he answers every question. Right.

0:12:45.320 --> 0:12:48.200
<v Speaker 3>He is a very very intelligent kid, doesn't say a word,

0:12:48.800 --> 0:12:51.679
<v Speaker 3>very very smart, and very tough, strong and he's not

0:12:52.480 --> 0:12:55.120
<v Speaker 3>you know, he doesn't sway or he just steady Eddy,

0:12:55.160 --> 0:12:57.439
<v Speaker 3>but he works extremely hard and he's very diligent. And

0:12:57.559 --> 0:12:59.760
<v Speaker 3>that's I don't think I've had an off. It's a lineman.
