1 00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:04,200 Speaker 1: You get all your guys. What does that mean to 2 00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:08,879 Speaker 1: the offense? In your opinion, more playmakers are better, That's 3 00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:12,000 Speaker 1: what it means. I think when they played last time 4 00:00:12,039 --> 00:00:14,800 Speaker 1: together Sterling and Golden, the way it shook out was 5 00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:17,360 Speaker 1: Golden was in the side, I believe more than the Sterling. 6 00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:21,919 Speaker 1: Why is that? What do you attributed to that? In 7 00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:25,760 Speaker 1: particular reason? Um, the way we uh you know, installed 8 00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:28,680 Speaker 1: and teaching everything. Everybody knows all the position, so it 9 00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:31,200 Speaker 1: depends on the formation we call. You know, sometimes some 10 00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:34,840 Speaker 1: guys in up more inside and outside, but no particular reason. 11 00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:40,080 Speaker 1: I feel like Sterling his looks he's going back. How 12 00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:42,040 Speaker 1: do you like Sterling looks he is coming back from 13 00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:45,440 Speaker 1: the confession? It looks good, looks good. He's he's fast, 14 00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:48,920 Speaker 1: he's sudden, he's quick. M he practice hard every play, 15 00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:51,760 Speaker 1: you know, every play you can't tell what it's running 16 00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:54,400 Speaker 1: past because he's got great to participate off the ball, 17 00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:57,240 Speaker 1: which is what I like. And he hustles. Um, it 18 00:00:57,240 --> 00:00:59,640 Speaker 1: looks really good. You have a couple of guys, uh 19 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,480 Speaker 1: Laden and Tato have never caught a pass in the 20 00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:05,399 Speaker 1: game from Eli Manning. How do you how do you 21 00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:08,400 Speaker 1: prepare them for the quarterback? Change. We don't. We just 22 00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:10,280 Speaker 1: it was going out and run out plays and who 23 00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:12,119 Speaker 1: was back there throwing it, We're gonna catch it. So 24 00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:15,720 Speaker 1: it's no real different preparation from the ward receivers. Staying point, 25 00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:18,160 Speaker 1: our job is go out there, line up and make 26 00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:20,119 Speaker 1: plays in the run game in the past game. So 27 00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:22,520 Speaker 1: who was back there's gonna throw up, were gonna catch it, 28 00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:26,039 Speaker 1: and hopefully I have a lot of success we've seen 29 00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:30,880 Speaker 1: obviously Darius, he's been productive as when he's been in 30 00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:32,240 Speaker 1: the line up, which has just been a lot, but 31 00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:34,840 Speaker 1: a lot of it has been without Chef and Golden 32 00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:37,720 Speaker 1: there together. How do you make sure he just didn't 33 00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:40,440 Speaker 1: sort of phased out isn't the right word, but like 34 00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:44,280 Speaker 1: have his playing time reduced and sort of just not 35 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:46,800 Speaker 1: become as big a factor. He's gonna be the same 36 00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:49,600 Speaker 1: factor he's always been. We have a good plan for 37 00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,800 Speaker 1: these guys, good rotations for these guys, and and like 38 00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:55,720 Speaker 1: I said, and the opening statements for as guys coming back, 39 00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:58,480 Speaker 1: all your playmakers are back. So that makes it great 40 00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:00,640 Speaker 1: for us to be able to have guys that it's 41 00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:04,080 Speaker 1: on the field can make plays anytime. So um, I 42 00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:10,800 Speaker 1: wouldn't or should not see Slayton's role decrease if you will. Um, Um, 43 00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,240 Speaker 1: it's just a better rotation I guess with a lot 44 00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:16,200 Speaker 1: of you know, better guys in there. So Um, if 45 00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:19,880 Speaker 1: it's less plays for him, it's not intentional, you know. 46 00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:21,880 Speaker 1: If it's more place for him, it's not intentional. Really, 47 00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:23,720 Speaker 1: just the way how the game is gonna be called 48 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:27,679 Speaker 1: and who's in there with both person Now, So where 49 00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:33,320 Speaker 1: have you seen him make the biggest shots Slayton? I think, um, 50 00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:36,840 Speaker 1: probably routes. Uh, you know, at Auburn he didn't have 51 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,000 Speaker 1: a very big route tree because where they run the 52 00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:41,320 Speaker 1: offense a lot of running and stuff. And here in 53 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:43,160 Speaker 1: a lot of gold routes and a lot of you know, 54 00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:44,880 Speaker 1: he didn't have a very big route tree when he 55 00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:47,520 Speaker 1: first got here. Um, So to see he improved, we 56 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:50,840 Speaker 1: can't wake out with his routes and route technique. Um, 57 00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:53,560 Speaker 1: that's part of why he's improved the most. I'm surprising 58 00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:55,280 Speaker 1: is that to you because he that's the one thing 59 00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:57,760 Speaker 1: when you look at he's just able to get open 60 00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:01,520 Speaker 1: pretty consistently. Right. Uh, I think it's work ethic didn't 61 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,280 Speaker 1: surprised me. I mean he works hard, and credit to him. 62 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:06,639 Speaker 1: I mean he's coachable, He listens to the things we're 63 00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:08,880 Speaker 1: trying to say and trying to do, and he goes 64 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:11,440 Speaker 1: out there and perform and he works at quite a bit. 65 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:13,400 Speaker 1: Did you see something though, because I know it's like 66 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:15,280 Speaker 1: he said, it's hard because he's not really running that 67 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:17,359 Speaker 1: rob tree. But is there something when you're scouting him 68 00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:20,400 Speaker 1: and you think that, okay, that we can see, well, 69 00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:22,280 Speaker 1: this is how well? I think the first thing that 70 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:25,079 Speaker 1: stands out is his speed, right, his speed? And then 71 00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:28,320 Speaker 1: and then he's a smart kid. So and I look 72 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:30,840 Speaker 1: at it. If you're if you're fast and you're smart, 73 00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:33,480 Speaker 1: I feel like I can get I can coach up 74 00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:34,800 Speaker 1: to do the things I want you to do, you 75 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:37,480 Speaker 1: know technique why so and it takes time, and he's 76 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:40,200 Speaker 1: just a rookie, but you know he's progressing in the 77 00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:48,600 Speaker 1: way we like them to progress. This this secondary for 78 00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:52,360 Speaker 1: the Eagles has struggled at times. Um, what is that? 79 00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,840 Speaker 1: What kind of opportunities that present for you guys against him? 80 00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:59,400 Speaker 1: I think, you know, be honest with you, the receiver room, 81 00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,800 Speaker 1: we feel very confident that we can have success whenever 82 00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:04,840 Speaker 1: we're on the field, regardless of who the secondary area is. 83 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,760 Speaker 1: So I don't look at it as from a standpoint 84 00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:10,280 Speaker 1: where they've been struggling or whatever, because I know they're 85 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:12,560 Speaker 1: a good team. I really know they're a good front 86 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:14,560 Speaker 1: and they can get to the quarterback really fast. So 87 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:17,040 Speaker 1: our job is to get open to whoever we're playing again, 88 00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:19,599 Speaker 1: So we don't look at it as if guys having 89 00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:22,520 Speaker 1: great success or not having this my success. We look 90 00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:24,080 Speaker 1: at it the same way. We're gonna go out there. 91 00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:26,479 Speaker 1: We feel confident we can go out there and execute 92 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:28,640 Speaker 1: the players at a call and get open regardless of 93 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:31,720 Speaker 1: whose covernists Russell shepherds. Season is over and what what 94 00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:35,320 Speaker 1: does he still bringing to this team? To your room? Energy? 95 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:38,240 Speaker 1: Every day Russell's in the meetings and you know he's 96 00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:41,479 Speaker 1: our hype man of the other wide receivers. So he 97 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,000 Speaker 1: brings a lot of juice to us. And I appreciate 98 00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:47,200 Speaker 1: a guy like him. You know, sometimes when you you're 99 00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:49,839 Speaker 1: not uh doing as well as a team, you know, 100 00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:52,119 Speaker 1: sometimes guys can get down a little bit, but not Russ. 101 00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:55,240 Speaker 1: Rush brings an energury every day. He keeps the whole team, 102 00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:58,120 Speaker 1: you know, energize, especially the wide receiver room energize. So 103 00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:02,400 Speaker 1: appreciate Russ. How have you been with the units blocking 104 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:06,760 Speaker 1: in general, I'm impressed with the blocking. A matter of fact, 105 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:08,760 Speaker 1: one of the things I have on a tip sheet 106 00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:12,320 Speaker 1: is uh tip number eight. First sentence is to be 107 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:14,799 Speaker 1: the best player on the field with him without the ball, 108 00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:17,760 Speaker 1: And I've always been of the philosophy is you have 109 00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:20,440 Speaker 1: to play really well without the ball. You know, if 110 00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:22,200 Speaker 1: you have sixty five players in the game, which is 111 00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:24,280 Speaker 1: an average, you know you have five catches for a 112 00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:27,039 Speaker 1: hundred yards and two touchdowns, that's great. What are you 113 00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 1: doing another sixty plays? So I obviously emphasize other sixty 114 00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:33,440 Speaker 1: players because all those guys want to catch the ball 115 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,360 Speaker 1: and make plays of course touchdowns, but are you helping 116 00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:39,240 Speaker 1: your team win in other areas? And that's playing without 117 00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:41,240 Speaker 1: the ball. You have to be um as good a 118 00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:43,440 Speaker 1: player without the ball as you are with the ball.
