1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,240 Speaker 1: How do you envisioned Dan, you'll take that step in 2 00:00:02,279 --> 00:00:06,880 Speaker 1: this offense. But what you've added and after resigning, you'll 3 00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:09,119 Speaker 1: i'd say, this is Struba the first time he's had 4 00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:11,400 Speaker 1: a little bit of consistency. We can all do a 5 00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:14,040 Speaker 1: better job in terms of all that, I'd said, all 6 00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:16,439 Speaker 1: the pieces. You know, every year you add pieces and 7 00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:19,840 Speaker 1: free agency, you add pieces in the draft, and you 8 00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:21,360 Speaker 1: know you had them for a reason because you think 9 00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:23,799 Speaker 1: they can help your team. But we even had we 10 00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:26,639 Speaker 1: haven't even had our first team meeting, get you know, 11 00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:29,480 Speaker 1: in April seventeenth. So um, you see what they do 12 00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:32,640 Speaker 1: really everybody free agency wise on tape. But you know 13 00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:36,600 Speaker 1: it's not just about their talent or running a return 14 00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:39,920 Speaker 1: route or stopping the run. You have to figure out 15 00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:43,000 Speaker 1: these men that you just hired on your team too. 16 00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:45,040 Speaker 1: You got to figure out what they're all about. You know, 17 00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:48,520 Speaker 1: how they react after a bad practice, how they react 18 00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:51,120 Speaker 1: after a drop. How can you build a team. It's 19 00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:53,600 Speaker 1: not just collecting talent, it's you know, you got to 20 00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:56,520 Speaker 1: build a team. So that takes time. You know, we're 21 00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:59,200 Speaker 1: not even there yet. We're we'll be there on April seventeenth, 22 00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:02,640 Speaker 1: and certainly got a lot of work to do. I'd say, 23 00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:04,520 Speaker 1: you know, with Daniel, will have you know, some of 24 00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:06,520 Speaker 1: the same guys he threw two back and have some 25 00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:08,560 Speaker 1: new guys. And you know, we're just gonna have to 26 00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:11,119 Speaker 1: keep evolving on what we do as a coaching staff. 27 00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:12,560 Speaker 1: And you know, he's gonna have to keep better on 28 00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:15,200 Speaker 1: the things that we need to get better at. And um, 29 00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:17,920 Speaker 1: you know, it's just it starts all over again. You know, 30 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:19,520 Speaker 1: it starts all over again. How do you want to 31 00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:22,640 Speaker 1: feel about disappointing cast around to do? Obviously that was 32 00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:25,080 Speaker 1: a priority for Joe to put pieces around him when 33 00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:26,920 Speaker 1: you invested in Daniel. How do you feel about the 34 00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:28,560 Speaker 1: group of that's around him right now? Kind of like 35 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:31,640 Speaker 1: I just said, Um, you know, I mean all the 36 00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,760 Speaker 1: guys that we looked at are evaluated or signed. You know, 37 00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:37,360 Speaker 1: I'm I'm happy they're here. We're gonna put him in 38 00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:40,320 Speaker 1: our systems, regardless of what position they play, And um, 39 00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:42,920 Speaker 1: you know, I think it's one thing when you're watching 40 00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:44,480 Speaker 1: them on tape. It's another thing now they have to 41 00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:47,640 Speaker 1: come in learn a new system, process, things play fast. 42 00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:50,160 Speaker 1: So you know, there's there's certainly a lot of things 43 00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:53,480 Speaker 1: that you know, we got to start doing come April seventeenth, 44 00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:55,880 Speaker 1: all the way through the OTAs and um, you know, 45 00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:58,360 Speaker 1: we'll see how that all works out. Met you mentioned 46 00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:01,760 Speaker 1: you want to just go around like because we'll be 47 00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:07,680 Speaker 1: here until eight fourteen fifty nine. You know, I got 48 00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:10,239 Speaker 1: a swear, I got disowner's music. I'm not gonna be 49 00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:12,400 Speaker 1: late for that one. We have writer's meetings too, so 50 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:14,919 Speaker 1: we have to we have to go also the one. Okay, Um, 51 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,000 Speaker 1: you so you don't want to go this way? No, okay, 52 00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:20,960 Speaker 1: definitely not okay, I don't want to be last. Okay, Um, 53 00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:23,160 Speaker 1: this is too hot of a question to wait. Kay. 54 00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:25,600 Speaker 1: Um you mentioned this the first time Daniel has had 55 00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:29,320 Speaker 1: some continuity. What can that do in your relationship with him? 56 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:31,919 Speaker 1: And you know, ultimately the product on the field now, 57 00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:34,720 Speaker 1: at second year of hearing everything, second year of your system, 58 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,120 Speaker 1: how much you think you can expand on that because 59 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:39,839 Speaker 1: of that? Well, look when you when you first come 60 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:41,919 Speaker 1: in and I can only talk about last year for 61 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,400 Speaker 1: a minute, you know, no one knew anything about how 62 00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:47,600 Speaker 1: we even operated as a coaching staff, our personalities, let 63 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:50,359 Speaker 1: alone the playbook where you're you know, started with day one, 64 00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:52,920 Speaker 1: page one of the playbook. Um, where you know, you 65 00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:55,520 Speaker 1: can move on from that a little bit. Um and 66 00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:59,399 Speaker 1: he's got some obviously, UM, you know, stuff to draw 67 00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:02,680 Speaker 1: back from what we did last year. But again I 68 00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:06,680 Speaker 1: think that helps based on learning, processing, those type of things. 69 00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:10,400 Speaker 1: But now it's you know, throwing, reading, the body language. 70 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:12,799 Speaker 1: There's some new guys we have, UM, you know, what 71 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:14,840 Speaker 1: can we improve on from what we did last year. 72 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:16,639 Speaker 1: There's there's there's a lot of things that we got 73 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:19,920 Speaker 1: to get better at. Um start with me, and you know, 74 00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:22,000 Speaker 1: it's good to be with you know, it's good to 75 00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:24,040 Speaker 1: be with some players that you have before. It's good 76 00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:26,399 Speaker 1: to be with some coaches. But really when it comes 77 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:28,480 Speaker 1: down to it, it it just matters on what you do, 78 00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 1: you know, from here moving forward once ota start into 79 00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:39,120 Speaker 1: training camp, obviously that's what that's what really matters. Tea 80 00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:42,680 Speaker 1: thought it was going this well, all right, let's follow 81 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:44,640 Speaker 1: up to that. I guess what you learned about your 82 00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:46,560 Speaker 1: first season? You talk about kind of the changes roomate 83 00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:50,360 Speaker 1: game season. Yeah, you know, I do. I do a 84 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:52,640 Speaker 1: lot of things in the off season. You know, I 85 00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:55,200 Speaker 1: meet a lot with um, you know, Tye and Kate, 86 00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:57,600 Speaker 1: and we go through the games. Again, we go through 87 00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:00,480 Speaker 1: decision making processes, UM, you know the many things we 88 00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:04,840 Speaker 1: could have done differently. UM. I meet with all the staffs. UM, 89 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:08,600 Speaker 1: we talk about you know, system improvement, things that showed 90 00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:10,480 Speaker 1: up on tape that you know, maybe it was a 91 00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:13,560 Speaker 1: problem for us technique wise, regardless of the position, and 92 00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:16,880 Speaker 1: figure out maybe some new drills. UM, call some other coaches, 93 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:19,440 Speaker 1: whether that be in college or or somebodies that I 94 00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:21,240 Speaker 1: know in the league, and you know, just ask them 95 00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:23,160 Speaker 1: about some trends and things that they might be doing. 96 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:25,920 Speaker 1: And I think you always have to try to evolve, UM, 97 00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:28,200 Speaker 1: get better at your craft. I know it was my 98 00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:30,839 Speaker 1: first time for everything last year. So UM, you know 99 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:32,880 Speaker 1: there's there's a lot of things that you know, I 100 00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:34,839 Speaker 1: could have done better job of. You have a lot 101 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:36,880 Speaker 1: of kind of doity you on your coaching staff too. 102 00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 1: How does that help you? How does that help sort 103 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:41,880 Speaker 1: of the program take to take the next step, same 104 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:45,000 Speaker 1: same type thing. UM, you know you're you're with each 105 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:48,080 Speaker 1: other for a year again, does it really does it 106 00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:50,120 Speaker 1: matter that that game that you want to win on 107 00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:52,839 Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know about that, but but 108 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:55,560 Speaker 1: I do know that you can draw on experiences that 109 00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:58,360 Speaker 1: you've had, good and bad. Hey, remember when we did 110 00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:00,520 Speaker 1: this you know week four last year. You know, maybe 111 00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:02,880 Speaker 1: we should tweak this with here. You know, there's just 112 00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:05,200 Speaker 1: some common language that you have that you maybe didn't have, 113 00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:08,400 Speaker 1: um starting out. But um, you know, the biggest thing 114 00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:10,520 Speaker 1: is you know, getting better as a staff, getting better 115 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:13,320 Speaker 1: as players coming together. That's really what's going to matter 116 00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:16,359 Speaker 1: the most. Right now. You were still getting to know 117 00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:19,840 Speaker 1: your quarter. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Last year. You know it 118 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:22,920 Speaker 1: was different. Last year. Um, you know, we were we 119 00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:26,000 Speaker 1: took a long time to hire people, um, and we 120 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,640 Speaker 1: were there. There wasn't much of an offseason. You know, 121 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:32,880 Speaker 1: we were there pretty late. Um. You know, Wink had 122 00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:36,640 Speaker 1: ordered a lot of pizza every night, so thankful for him. Um. 123 00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:38,719 Speaker 1: This year, you know, it's a little bit different. I'd 124 00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:41,159 Speaker 1: say that that the coaches are out a little bit 125 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:45,440 Speaker 1: more on pro days, Um, you know, the evaluation processes 126 00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:47,760 Speaker 1: of your team, which is most important. We did that 127 00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:50,080 Speaker 1: right away and you know, talked about things that we 128 00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,880 Speaker 1: needed to improve on. So now they're you know, whether 129 00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:54,680 Speaker 1: it's free agents out on the road and then we 130 00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:58,039 Speaker 1: do staff development, system development, you know. But there's there's 131 00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:01,080 Speaker 1: a lot of guys that have been out, um, you know, 132 00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:03,839 Speaker 1: on the road looking at looking at college players right 133 00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:08,200 Speaker 1: now after the free agency period. Maybe if you couldn't 134 00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:10,560 Speaker 1: do last year, and if you could, would you like 135 00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:14,000 Speaker 1: to throw the ball more than you did a year ago? Yeah? 136 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:15,600 Speaker 1: I just think it depends on the team we have. 137 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:17,839 Speaker 1: You know, I think everything we try to do is 138 00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:20,200 Speaker 1: is geared toward our team, and you know where our 139 00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:22,880 Speaker 1: team's at. Um, you know, it's a higher question answer 140 00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:25,640 Speaker 1: right now. Darren I think is a good football player. Um. 141 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:27,960 Speaker 1: You know, I'm happy that we traded for him, but 142 00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:30,200 Speaker 1: again to get him into our system, to let him 143 00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:32,320 Speaker 1: see how he processes our calls, to get him out 144 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:35,000 Speaker 1: on the field, to read his body language. He's been 145 00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:38,039 Speaker 1: a very talented player in the league. Happy we have 146 00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:40,560 Speaker 1: him and looking forward to working with him. Were lining 147 00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:43,200 Speaker 1: him up anywhere, we'll see, Yeah, we'll see what we'll 148 00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:44,560 Speaker 1: see that. I mean they've they've lined him up in 149 00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:46,679 Speaker 1: a different spots. He's worked, you know, under some different 150 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,520 Speaker 1: head coaches. Um, you know, I think whatever we feel 151 00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:51,200 Speaker 1: is best for him and for our team, that's what 152 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:53,760 Speaker 1: we'll try to do. But you know, the springtime, you know, 153 00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:55,200 Speaker 1: when you guys are there, you know it's a time 154 00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:57,839 Speaker 1: to to kind of experiment on some things and see 155 00:06:57,839 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 1: what works and see what doesn't work and try to 156 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:03,160 Speaker 1: build off that Buffalo you had a when you were 157 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:05,920 Speaker 1: in Buffalo, you had a offense that had the typical 158 00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:09,360 Speaker 1: or prototypical number one receiver. It's tawn. When you were 159 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:12,000 Speaker 1: in New England you kind of experienced an offense that 160 00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:14,440 Speaker 1: had the number one option the passing game was were 161 00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:16,960 Speaker 1: the tight ends? Can you talk just the pros and 162 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:19,560 Speaker 1: cons of the two different philosophies and kind of in 163 00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:21,880 Speaker 1: today is that can you have an offense the number 164 00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:23,480 Speaker 1: one option is a tight end of the pout? Yeah, well, 165 00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:25,200 Speaker 1: I think that's your job as a coaching staff is 166 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:27,360 Speaker 1: to figure out who you have and move the pieces 167 00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:30,880 Speaker 1: around and you know, go out there and play with 168 00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:33,600 Speaker 1: the guys that you have and you can do you know, 169 00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:36,160 Speaker 1: you can have a lot of different personnel groups that 170 00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:39,800 Speaker 1: you use throughout a year. Some were tight end based, 171 00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:42,480 Speaker 1: some were receiver based. There's times last year we used 172 00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:44,440 Speaker 1: three runn backs at the time. So you know, again 173 00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:47,680 Speaker 1: that's what all this spring and training camp and all 174 00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:50,160 Speaker 1: those things will before is let's put everybody out there 175 00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:52,560 Speaker 1: will start, you know, learning the system together as a 176 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:54,440 Speaker 1: group and and figuring out what we do. I mean 177 00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:56,840 Speaker 1: there was things that you know that we were doing 178 00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:59,080 Speaker 1: all training camp last year that you know, a week 179 00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:01,960 Speaker 1: before the season, you know, I sat down with Daniel, 180 00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:03,480 Speaker 1: he came over and we met. We went through a 181 00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:05,760 Speaker 1: bunch of things. I'm like, tell me some other things 182 00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:07,480 Speaker 1: you really like and then I go in the next day, 183 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:09,240 Speaker 1: we go, hey, Calf, put these eight plays in. He's like, 184 00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:11,520 Speaker 1: we haven't done any since. So we haven't done these 185 00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:13,920 Speaker 1: and OTAs. But that's that's evolving as a coach. I 186 00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:16,280 Speaker 1: think trying to do what your players do best and 187 00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:18,880 Speaker 1: what they feel comfortable with. You mentioned being strong around 188 00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,520 Speaker 1: your quarterbacks, say Quon Barkley. How motivated are you to 189 00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:24,680 Speaker 1: be able to titles two together for the long term? Yeah, Um, 190 00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:26,880 Speaker 1: you know, I think sa Quan is a good player 191 00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:28,720 Speaker 1: for us. I think Daniels a good play for us. 192 00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:30,880 Speaker 1: You know, I think some of the other pieces that 193 00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:33,040 Speaker 1: we had. Again, it's to me, it's how the team 194 00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:35,959 Speaker 1: comes together, not just one guy, not just two guys, 195 00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:39,080 Speaker 1: but collectively, you know, just speaking offensively as a group 196 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:46,200 Speaker 1: of offensive players. Right, Yeah, I don't know. Um, I'd 197 00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:49,360 Speaker 1: say that'd be a good question for Sakwan talking. Yeah, 198 00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:51,240 Speaker 1: I've talked to him. I think the last time I 199 00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:53,800 Speaker 1: talked to him was actually I texted him, was two 200 00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:58,559 Speaker 1: weeks ago. Maybe. Yeah, I said to leave it. I'd 201 00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:00,400 Speaker 1: leave that up to say true.
