Uh, when you're playing a division 25 00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:16,440 Speaker 2: opponent like the Bengals. So excited for the challenge and 26 00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:19,000 Speaker 2: understand that we have to play good football. But without 27 00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,920 Speaker 2: I'll take any questions. 28 00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:27,440 Speaker 3: Uh no, no, scare. He's good. Earlier in the week, 29 00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:33,560 Speaker 3: just was feeling a litt uncomfortable. But he's good to go. 30 00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:37,360 Speaker 4: I mean I'm obviously progressing, but not where you you 31 00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:38,960 Speaker 4: needed him to be to feel comfortable. 32 00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:42,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, he's progressing really well. Uh this is all part 33 00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:44,680 Speaker 2: of the plan and getting him up to speed. But 34 00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:47,080 Speaker 2: uh not this week, and we'll just keep going. 35 00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:50,800 Speaker 5: Early and last night's game mate today's team. 36 00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:54,480 Speaker 2: My team meeting got very long, h this morning after 37 00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:56,559 Speaker 2: some of the things that happened in that game that 38 00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:58,880 Speaker 2: that was a lot. I mean I didn't stay up 39 00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:02,000 Speaker 2: for it, but I certainly clipped a bunch of it 40 00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:03,000 Speaker 2: for this morning. 41 00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:09,040 Speaker 3: So yes, by seeing helping bails off the steam. 42 00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:13,000 Speaker 2: Well, you want to have your full compliment of players 43 00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:16,960 Speaker 2: for a week one, So you know, proud that we're 44 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:18,679 Speaker 2: able to do that. But I also think it's a 45 00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:21,400 Speaker 2: testament to how hard these guys have worked all off season, 46 00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:23,640 Speaker 2: Mary Kay, I think back to what they've put their 47 00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:26,280 Speaker 2: bodies through April, May and June, and then coming back 48 00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:28,880 Speaker 2: through the dog days of summer and and to get 49 00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,360 Speaker 2: through the preseason and all those things they've been building 50 00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:33,840 Speaker 2: towards this, and I think that's a great testament to 51 00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:35,799 Speaker 2: their work. 52 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:39,040 Speaker 5: A year or two of the new kick return rule. 53 00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:40,320 Speaker 3: Aver im back going on. 54 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:43,919 Speaker 6: You open and kicked off here last year, you sense 55 00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:46,640 Speaker 6: much changes y just with the tweeks and stuff. 56 00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:49,800 Speaker 2: Well, the return rate is going to increase significantly, and 57 00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:51,480 Speaker 2: you saw that last night as well, and you will 58 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:54,440 Speaker 2: continue to see that h throughout this season. The return 59 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:57,200 Speaker 2: rate is is uh. I don't know what the number 60 00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,160 Speaker 2: is going to be. I'd imagine somewhere up close to 61 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,160 Speaker 2: the nineties. And you know, there were a couple last 62 00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:03,200 Speaker 2: night that were touchbacks that weren't supposed to be. The 63 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:06,320 Speaker 2: kicker didn't hit it exactly where he wanted to. So 64 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,120 Speaker 2: I do think teams are going to force kickoffs. That's 65 00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,960 Speaker 2: a very real play. It's darn near first and ten 66 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:16,000 Speaker 2: type of play that every every team is gonna be defending. 67 00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:22,800 Speaker 7: Talk, there's more accountability from the players. 68 00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:24,040 Speaker 5: In general, but also the messaging. 69 00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:26,919 Speaker 7: That you get all you put out there. How important 70 00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 7: is that into he emphasize accountability, and. 71 00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:34,600 Speaker 2: Well, I think Bubba does a great job with our 72 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:36,600 Speaker 2: football team. You know, he's assistant head coach. I put 73 00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:38,840 Speaker 2: a lot on Bubba's play to help me with this 74 00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:42,960 Speaker 2: football team. And he's constantly doing his part to message 75 00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:44,880 Speaker 2: the team, not just in special teams and meetings, but 76 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:48,360 Speaker 2: making sure that he's messaging to them what's important, whether 77 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:50,360 Speaker 2: it be how to play this game, how to protect 78 00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:52,600 Speaker 2: the football, those type of things. So Bubba's a big 79 00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:58,360 Speaker 2: part of those messages. You know, I think culture is 80 00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:03,800 Speaker 2: a very very slippery subject because culture is people, very simply, 81 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:05,840 Speaker 2: and uh, if you have the right people, you have 82 00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:10,720 Speaker 2: the right culture. I think winning certainly helps. 83 00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 8: Who ran the scout team. 84 00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:13,720 Speaker 9: Was it was. 85 00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 3: A bunch of different guys in there. America. Yeah, rotated. 86 00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:23,680 Speaker 5: A big arm defensive players celebrating you know, as a 87 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:27,159 Speaker 5: state to that. But yeah, we know the league is 88 00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:29,839 Speaker 5: emphasizing on sportsman. 89 00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:31,360 Speaker 3: Were you in the team meeting this morning too. 90 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:33,520 Speaker 5: No, I'm just put it on. 91 00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:36,560 Speaker 3: Yeah. 92 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:39,760 Speaker 2: The message is this, the league is very serious about sportsmanship. 93 00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:43,159 Speaker 2: We know it. We know what you can and cannot do. 94 00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:44,200 Speaker 2: Everybody does. 95 00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:45,159 Speaker 3: Uh. 96 00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:48,680 Speaker 2: Typically when the league wants something emphasized, it gets emphasized 97 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:50,560 Speaker 2: early in the season. I think you saw that last night. 98 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:52,520 Speaker 2: So we will not complain about the rules. We know 99 00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:55,240 Speaker 2: what the rules are. We will buy by them. 100 00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:57,760 Speaker 5: What's the things you go over before week one? 101 00:04:58,160 --> 00:04:59,160 Speaker 9: Is it any different than. 102 00:04:59,040 --> 00:04:59,920 Speaker 3: Any of the other weeks. 103 00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:04,960 Speaker 2: I think that's why we treat the third preseason game 104 00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:07,120 Speaker 2: as a regular season schedule. When you have a bunch 105 00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:09,919 Speaker 2: of new players and rookies or free agents, you have 106 00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:13,039 Speaker 2: new coaches, you want to get through a week. You know, 107 00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,240 Speaker 2: the the NFL week is a meat grinder. I was 108 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:17,800 Speaker 2: just talking about that with ab. For these players, what 109 00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:20,640 Speaker 2: they mentally, what we put on them throughout the week 110 00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:23,840 Speaker 2: is crazy, and it's a lot, and sometimes it feels 111 00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:25,840 Speaker 2: like you're drinking out of a fire hose on Wednesday, 112 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:28,039 Speaker 2: and then all of a sudden, by Thursday, by Friday, 113 00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:31,599 Speaker 2: by Saturday, by game day, it crystallizes. But what these 114 00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:34,160 Speaker 2: guys have to well, we ask of them mentally physically 115 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:36,800 Speaker 2: is a lot and that just goes into what you 116 00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 2: have to do to prepare for an NFL game. So 117 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:43,080 Speaker 2: I think us getting a lot of that practiced in 118 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:44,719 Speaker 2: the preseason was important. 119 00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:47,520 Speaker 10: How did he come through the ZA and how do 120 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,200 Speaker 10: you feel about visibility if he has to step in there. 121 00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:50,679 Speaker 11: For any reason? 122 00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,039 Speaker 2: Yeah, it did a nice job this week. All of 123 00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:54,919 Speaker 2: our backups have to be ready to go in a 124 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:57,960 Speaker 2: moment's notice. That's that's football, and he's worked very hard 125 00:05:57,960 --> 00:05:58,360 Speaker 2: this week. 126 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:03,840 Speaker 6: Couple of experiences with virtual measurement during the preseason. 127 00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:08,480 Speaker 5: Do you find it it's about the same time as a. 128 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:10,760 Speaker 6: Measurement or you get in a little bit more time 129 00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:12,000 Speaker 6: to decide. 130 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:13,000 Speaker 12: Whether to go or not. 131 00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:16,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess we had a couple. It did seem 132 00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,600 Speaker 2: it took a little bit of time. I'm a traditionalist. 133 00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:23,240 Speaker 2: I like those chain Gang guys coming out to uh measure. 134 00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:27,440 Speaker 2: But we'll see. I don't know if if if that's 135 00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:31,840 Speaker 2: something that they're looking to expedite post preseason. But were 136 00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:35,360 Speaker 2: there any last night? I remember seeing one. 137 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:43,400 Speaker 6: Can't remember seeing one in the first. 138 00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:47,839 Speaker 13: Hel and year six doing this, But just emotionally, do 139 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:50,839 Speaker 13: you still you know, get excited about going of the 140 00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:52,960 Speaker 13: season and a new sort of opportunity for your team. 141 00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:56,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think for me, you know, we're we're I'm 142 00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:59,200 Speaker 2: very very, very fortunate and blessed and lucky to do 143 00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:01,600 Speaker 2: what I do to coach this game. I know our 144 00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:03,360 Speaker 2: coaches feel the same way. I know our players feel 145 00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:05,560 Speaker 2: the same way. So we don't take for granted the 146 00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:08,719 Speaker 2: fact that we get to coach and play a kid's game. 147 00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:10,880 Speaker 2: And that's the fun part of this business where we're 148 00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:13,720 Speaker 2: very lucky, and the competitive nature of this business. I 149 00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:16,080 Speaker 2: also know, uh, there, you know, you got the game 150 00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:18,360 Speaker 2: this week, and it's the grind, and the next one comes, 151 00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:19,600 Speaker 2: and the next one comes, and. 152 00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:20,480 Speaker 3: That's the NFL season. 153 00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:25,440 Speaker 2: It's it's a it's built to really test you mentally, physically, emotionally, 154 00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:27,880 Speaker 2: all those type of things. But uh, that's the fun 155 00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:31,040 Speaker 2: part for us as coaches certainly definitely as players where 156 00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:33,080 Speaker 2: we get we're just lucky to play a kids game. 157 00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,720 Speaker 1: Next up is wide receivers coach Chad O'shay, who talked 158 00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:37,679 Speaker 1: about Jerry Judy's growth as a leader. 159 00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:42,880 Speaker 4: He's growth of young guys in that room. The transition, obviously, 160 00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:46,440 Speaker 4: the on the field transition is one thing, but difficult. 161 00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:50,480 Speaker 14: Are underrated is the off the field transition, the meetings, 162 00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:54,440 Speaker 14: the film study, that part of the of the job 163 00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:58,640 Speaker 14: that maybe they don't understand until they get in the building. 164 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:01,720 Speaker 15: With our young players, there's there's a lot of challenges 165 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 15: and they go beyond what's just on the field. And 166 00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:07,520 Speaker 15: I think that, you know, what we've done in the 167 00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:10,400 Speaker 15: way we've structured our meetings and the amount of walkthroughs 168 00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:13,480 Speaker 15: that we have, it's an opportunity for those players to 169 00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:17,160 Speaker 15: develop in those settings prior to getting on the field. 170 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:21,200 Speaker 15: So I would say we spend as much time and 171 00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:25,600 Speaker 15: are very intentional about how we spend those that those 172 00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:28,360 Speaker 15: that time prior to go on the field. You know, 173 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:30,680 Speaker 15: we're we try to be very organized in our meetings. 174 00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:34,840 Speaker 15: We try to really be intentional about our teaching sessions 175 00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:38,439 Speaker 15: with those players because you can really gain a lot 176 00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:41,040 Speaker 15: before you get on the field. And I think that 177 00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:44,760 Speaker 15: if if the young players don't take advantage of that 178 00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:47,640 Speaker 15: part of the process, they're not going to have success. 179 00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:52,080 Speaker 16: Well, what can you tell us about Isaiah Bond and 180 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:56,240 Speaker 16: how has he looked so acclimated so fast? 181 00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:59,199 Speaker 15: Isaiah's done an outstanding job of coming in here. Number 182 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:03,200 Speaker 15: One of working very hard. He's done everything we've asked 183 00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:06,160 Speaker 15: him to do. He's been outstanding in the meeting room. 184 00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:10,800 Speaker 15: He's really displayed that he's very smart, that he can 185 00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:13,199 Speaker 15: do a lot of things for us as far as 186 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:16,560 Speaker 15: his role. So that's very exciting when you have a 187 00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:19,079 Speaker 15: player that has a physical skill set that you can 188 00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:21,880 Speaker 15: use in a variety of ways, but to combine that 189 00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:24,600 Speaker 15: with a player that takes a lot of pride in 190 00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:27,320 Speaker 15: the mental aspect of the game, and he's very capable 191 00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:30,160 Speaker 15: in that area. So that's the part that's been very 192 00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:34,680 Speaker 15: exciting working with Isaiah is how well he's done on 193 00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,200 Speaker 15: the mental side of the game. And I think that's 194 00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:40,840 Speaker 15: occurred because he's blessed with having good intelligence, but he 195 00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:44,720 Speaker 15: also works very hard, and he's listened to not only 196 00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:46,840 Speaker 15: the coaches, but he's listened to some of the veteran 197 00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:49,800 Speaker 15: players on just how to go about his daily routine 198 00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:53,080 Speaker 15: and how to, you know, get out there and help 199 00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:55,160 Speaker 15: the team as quickly as we can. And I think 200 00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:59,080 Speaker 15: that starts with just his work ethic. You know, we're 201 00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:02,280 Speaker 15: very fortunate to have Ravo Brown that's our assistant wide 202 00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:04,840 Speaker 15: receiver coach, and I think he's done an outstanding job 203 00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:08,240 Speaker 15: of spending extra time with Isaiah, and Isaiah has been 204 00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:11,480 Speaker 15: very committed to us. You know during those sessions, we 205 00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:13,640 Speaker 15: get him here early in the building, he stays late, 206 00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:17,840 Speaker 15: and we've really tried to accelerate his learning and he 207 00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:21,679 Speaker 15: has really done a great job in that area. 208 00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:27,040 Speaker 5: Who was attracted went through camp? Was there sick a 209 00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:29,479 Speaker 5: moment in the off season. 210 00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:31,599 Speaker 4: Program treating camps that really just stood out to you 211 00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:34,679 Speaker 4: about him, and he still set like how excited. 212 00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:38,360 Speaker 15: For him that he made so excited about Gage and 213 00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:39,720 Speaker 15: him making the roster. 214 00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:41,160 Speaker 9: He was so deserving of that. 215 00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:45,760 Speaker 15: From day one, there was something different about Gage, from 216 00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:48,200 Speaker 15: the way he worked to the way he performed on 217 00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:51,600 Speaker 15: the field. I mean, uh, you know, in the rookie 218 00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:54,160 Speaker 15: mini camp, he performed at a level that you want 219 00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:56,720 Speaker 15: a receiver to perform at. He got open, caught the ball, 220 00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,440 Speaker 15: and that continued through the process. You know, it continued 221 00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:02,400 Speaker 15: once we got into training camp and then obviously in 222 00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:06,920 Speaker 15: the preseason he performed very well on the field. It's 223 00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:09,480 Speaker 15: a great example of the path in which one takes. 224 00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:13,000 Speaker 15: Isn't what's important to get here, what's important and is 225 00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:15,439 Speaker 15: once you get here, of what you do with your opportunity, 226 00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:19,000 Speaker 15: and I think that he's just a great example, probably 227 00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:20,840 Speaker 15: one of the better ones we've had in the receiver 228 00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:24,040 Speaker 15: room in recent years of taking advantage of an opportunity 229 00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:28,480 Speaker 15: and going out there and making the team. And he 230 00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:31,480 Speaker 15: put himself in position to do that because of his 231 00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:35,480 Speaker 15: work ethic, the type of person he is. He's a 232 00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:39,280 Speaker 15: great teammate. I'm so excited to have Gauge as part 233 00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:41,400 Speaker 15: of our team right now as I am. You know, 234 00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:43,720 Speaker 15: we have a couple of practice squad players right now 235 00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:47,200 Speaker 15: that you know if we could dress seven guys, they 236 00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:49,520 Speaker 15: would play in the game. That's how we feel about them, 237 00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:53,360 Speaker 15: you know, taking like Caden Davis. He's on our practice squad, 238 00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:55,680 Speaker 15: so obviously you know he won't be eligible to play 239 00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:57,920 Speaker 15: in the game this week, but at any time I 240 00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:02,400 Speaker 15: would have complete confidence playing a guy like Caden Davis, 241 00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:05,520 Speaker 15: and to include our other young players and our practice 242 00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:08,960 Speaker 15: squad players in a game, I'd feel real comfortable with that. 243 00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:16,080 Speaker 5: Talking about like no mean needed to be used to senators. 244 00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:18,240 Speaker 17: Planning for more maybe go to make so many easy. 245 00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:20,480 Speaker 18: Opportunities that I was like, doesn't really get the chance 246 00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:21,320 Speaker 18: because he gets hurt. 247 00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:23,160 Speaker 1: I guess how important is that in. 248 00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:26,120 Speaker 5: This next step of his development. 249 00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:29,760 Speaker 15: Here, I think it's really important. But I think that 250 00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:32,800 Speaker 15: what we've asked him to do is to fall back 251 00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:36,800 Speaker 15: on just trying to focus on what exactly is the 252 00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:39,280 Speaker 15: detail of what you need to do on that play. 253 00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:41,680 Speaker 15: You know. It's just it's like almost staying in the present, 254 00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:45,640 Speaker 15: staying in the now, uh, and not worrying about, you know, 255 00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:48,600 Speaker 15: who's playing you defensively, what scheme they might be playing 256 00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:53,080 Speaker 15: you defensively. Let's focus on doing your job right and 257 00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:56,480 Speaker 15: then a little bit less focus on maybe the scheme 258 00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:59,600 Speaker 15: of the defense and who's playing across from you, whether 259 00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:01,600 Speaker 15: it's at practice or whether it's in the first game 260 00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:04,200 Speaker 15: of the season. In sead, he's done a really nice 261 00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:05,120 Speaker 15: job of that, you know. 262 00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:06,400 Speaker 9: So we've been really impressed with. 263 00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:10,080 Speaker 7: That that he saw a scenario which it was maybe 264 00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:13,640 Speaker 7: more difficult for him with the attention that he drew 265 00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:16,839 Speaker 7: and last season and success that he had. How do 266 00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:20,680 Speaker 7: you see him anticipating that, approaching that knowing that he 267 00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:23,000 Speaker 7: might be double teamed more, he might have a harder 268 00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:24,440 Speaker 7: time getting open, but still. 269 00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:26,760 Speaker 11: Wanting to be that wide receiver one make that impact. 270 00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:30,679 Speaker 15: Yeah, obviously very high expectations with Jerry because of the 271 00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:33,520 Speaker 15: season that he had last year, and we've talked a 272 00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:36,480 Speaker 15: lot about managing those expectations. And one of the best 273 00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:38,360 Speaker 15: things we can do with Jerry and he can do 274 00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:41,640 Speaker 15: for himself is just to do the things last year 275 00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:45,600 Speaker 15: that brought him success, you know, and that was being 276 00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:50,920 Speaker 15: very detailed in everything he does, to being on the 277 00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:54,960 Speaker 15: same page with a quarterback, to get in exactly the 278 00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:57,560 Speaker 15: coaching point that we asked him in the meetings, getting 279 00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:01,040 Speaker 15: that correct on the field. So if Jerry stays within 280 00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:04,480 Speaker 15: that right and doesn't try to do too much right, 281 00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:06,599 Speaker 15: then I think he'll have a lot of success. And 282 00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:09,640 Speaker 15: that's what Jerry's done so far in the preseason is 283 00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:12,520 Speaker 15: he's just tried to just do his job right and 284 00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:14,360 Speaker 15: just try to get the detail of what we ask 285 00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:17,600 Speaker 15: him on that play and not think too much about, 286 00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:22,040 Speaker 15: you know, statistics and targets and those things. Just worry 287 00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:24,560 Speaker 15: about doing our job and doing what's best for the team. 288 00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:28,320 Speaker 15: And Jerry what a great team guy he is. And 289 00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:30,720 Speaker 15: I'll say this, he's really emerged as a leader for us. 290 00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:32,960 Speaker 15: I mean he's I know he doesn't say a lot, 291 00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:35,680 Speaker 15: but what I see is his action speaks so much. 292 00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:39,880 Speaker 15: Louder than what he says. He's just been provided us 293 00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:42,720 Speaker 15: great leadership. And when you talk about the development of 294 00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:45,880 Speaker 15: young players, you have to have a leader in the 295 00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:49,360 Speaker 15: room besides the coach that needs to help the development 296 00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:51,640 Speaker 15: of the young players. And I think that like the 297 00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:56,400 Speaker 15: success of Gauge making the team, the progress we've seen 298 00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:58,360 Speaker 15: in some of our other younger players that are on 299 00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:03,160 Speaker 15: the practice squad, that goes, you know, credit to Jerry 300 00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:06,040 Speaker 15: because of his leadership that he's provided a young group 301 00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:08,560 Speaker 15: of receivers to include Seid, you know said, still a 302 00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:11,760 Speaker 15: young football player for us, and Jerry's really done a 303 00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:14,840 Speaker 15: great job of providing leadership for our young players on 304 00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:16,880 Speaker 15: our team. 305 00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:20,360 Speaker 19: Yeah, when it comes to obviously, you know Tommy and 306 00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:22,440 Speaker 19: Kevin sat down and remade this run game. How much 307 00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:24,160 Speaker 19: of an emphasis has that been in your room? Your 308 00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:27,000 Speaker 19: guys's involvement in getting this run game back to where it. 309 00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:28,200 Speaker 12: Was a lot. 310 00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:31,400 Speaker 15: I mean, it's it's something we asked the guys in 311 00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:33,720 Speaker 15: our room to do three things to get open, catch 312 00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:35,760 Speaker 15: the ball, and last but not least, compete in the 313 00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:38,240 Speaker 15: run game. And we take a lot of pride in 314 00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:40,520 Speaker 15: that and we know how important it is to our 315 00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:45,120 Speaker 15: offense that we run the ball extremely well. We take 316 00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:47,520 Speaker 15: a lot of pride in that we know that we 317 00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:50,480 Speaker 15: can be a factor in the run game. You know, 318 00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:53,160 Speaker 15: I mean, I think of a guy like Cedric who 319 00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:56,600 Speaker 15: has done a great job in that area, being very 320 00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:58,480 Speaker 15: selfless of putting the team first. 321 00:15:58,880 --> 00:15:59,040 Speaker 3: You know. 322 00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:01,280 Speaker 15: Obviously he's a big your body that we'll ask to 323 00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:04,000 Speaker 15: do some different things than we would for one of 324 00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:06,760 Speaker 15: our smaller receivers just because of his size. But most 325 00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:10,000 Speaker 15: importantly is he's very competitive and he takes a lot 326 00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:13,080 Speaker 15: of pride in doing the job in the run game. 327 00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:15,680 Speaker 15: So we talk about it. We just got done talking 328 00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:17,960 Speaker 15: about it ten minutes ago about how important it will 329 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:20,840 Speaker 15: be for us to be a factor in the run game. 330 00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:24,160 Speaker 1: Linebackers coach Jason Tarver discussed the swift growth of Carson 331 00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:25,120 Speaker 1: sweesssinger with. 332 00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:27,440 Speaker 18: Carson, like, what are you looking for him in this 333 00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:31,560 Speaker 18: first outing, especially with those bring that responsibilities that we've 334 00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:32,320 Speaker 18: seen him take on. 335 00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:34,600 Speaker 12: Yeah, just staying in his process. 336 00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:36,960 Speaker 17: He's like we've said, he's really good at that, going 337 00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:39,960 Speaker 17: to the next play, staying in the process. Whatever happened, 338 00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:43,200 Speaker 17: And the biggest thing in your first game is there's 339 00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:45,640 Speaker 17: going to be things that happen, whether it's adjustments or whatever. 340 00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:48,280 Speaker 17: And it doesn't matter. What I mean by that is 341 00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:50,000 Speaker 17: when you see the ball wherever it is, you got 342 00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:50,480 Speaker 17: to go get it. 343 00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:51,400 Speaker 12: That's his strength. 344 00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:53,840 Speaker 17: His effort is chasing the ball, and that's what we 345 00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:56,240 Speaker 17: want to see because if something's wrong, we'll fix it. 346 00:16:58,520 --> 00:16:59,000 Speaker 8: Your room. 347 00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:02,840 Speaker 16: You've had to overcome adversity in the room this season 348 00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:05,120 Speaker 16: of losing guys left and right. 349 00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:07,280 Speaker 11: But how do you think the room has responded to that? 350 00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:10,200 Speaker 16: I mean, it looks like you guys are reasonably healthy 351 00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:12,960 Speaker 16: right now, but how have you overcome that? 352 00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:15,480 Speaker 12: I think are our room?

And that's one 381 00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:36,520 Speaker 17: of the things with young players and rookies anyway, is 382 00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:39,000 Speaker 17: if you can take anything you're working on and come. 383 00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:42,000 Speaker 12: Back better and get better every day.

He was all over the 392 00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:09,800 Speaker 17: field and he actually heard it by saving saving a touchdown, 393 00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:12,920 Speaker 17: which was a great play by him. And he's attacked 394 00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:16,280 Speaker 17: his rehab really well and I'm excited to see him. 395 00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:18,919 Speaker 17: The good part that my Mood has done becoming a 396 00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:21,240 Speaker 17: young pro in this league is being able to play 397 00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:24,920 Speaker 17: any position and not worrying about a little bit of 398 00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:27,720 Speaker 17: that question, not worried about when he's in, just worried 399 00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:30,960 Speaker 17: about when he's in any of the positions, being. 400 00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:32,320 Speaker 12: The best he can be on that play. 401 00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:34,879 Speaker 17: And sometimes that's hard to get over when you come 402 00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:37,000 Speaker 17: from college when you're the best at everything to do right. 403 00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:39,800 Speaker 17: A lot of these guys and it doesn't matter, Mood, 404 00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:42,520 Speaker 17: go got your coach, and that to be able to 405 00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:45,360 Speaker 17: lock your brain in whether or not you're getting reps 406 00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:47,840 Speaker 17: when you're hurt is a strength and it is an 407 00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:50,199 Speaker 17: acquired skill. And he's getting better and better at that 408 00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:53,080 Speaker 17: learning from even if he's not in the reps, because 409 00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:55,680 Speaker 17: that's not easy for any player to do, but especially 410 00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:56,920 Speaker 17: younger players. 411 00:19:57,080 --> 00:20:02,440 Speaker 4: Joe Burrow getting pressure on him simply from your position group. 412 00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:05,639 Speaker 4: What's the challenge because it seems like he's one of, 413 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:07,359 Speaker 4: I mean one of the best in the league of 414 00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:10,000 Speaker 4: getting rid of the ball quick. How do you you know, 415 00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:11,800 Speaker 4: I mean, how do you how do you. 416 00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:12,800 Speaker 3: Have to sort of handle that? 417 00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:16,200 Speaker 4: You know, especially if you're kind of you know, guy 418 00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:17,760 Speaker 4: like Carson coming off the edge or something. 419 00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:20,840 Speaker 17: Yeah, if we're blitzing, we got to go. There's no 420 00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:23,920 Speaker 17: messing around, there's no taking little steps. You've got to 421 00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:27,439 Speaker 17: go because if you're blitzing, you better get there really fast. 422 00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:29,560 Speaker 17: As we know he's going to get rid of the ball. 423 00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:33,040 Speaker 17: So that's the key where when we're activated by Coach 424 00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:37,160 Speaker 17: Schwartz and our different schemes, we got to be on point, 425 00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:39,680 Speaker 17: can't be hesitating, can't be late in our roll offs 426 00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:39,879 Speaker 17: that we. 427 00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:40,880 Speaker 12: Call him on the line of scrimmage. 428 00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:44,240 Speaker 17: You got to roll because the ball's out if you don't. 429 00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:48,679 Speaker 18: Like what's it been like with that D line in 430 00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:50,840 Speaker 18: front of them, and you know throughout camp in the 431 00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:54,320 Speaker 18: preseason seeing the kind of pressure they've been able to create, Like, 432 00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:55,000 Speaker 18: how has that. 433 00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:59,040 Speaker 17: Impacted Well, that's the job of the linebacker, right, it's 434 00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:01,520 Speaker 17: even in his name of our position, which is we're 435 00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:04,200 Speaker 17: back behind the line, which I kind of like saying 436 00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:07,560 Speaker 17: that one. But the D line's job is to cause 437 00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:09,920 Speaker 17: havoc and our jobs to clean it up. And it's 438 00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:11,200 Speaker 17: a lot of fun to clean it up when they're 439 00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:14,560 Speaker 17: causing havoc. So that's how I'd say it, because that's 440 00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:17,679 Speaker 17: when it that's when it works. Now when when the 441 00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:20,840 Speaker 17: D line is going forward at the offense, we have 442 00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:23,560 Speaker 17: to be able to adjust good enough if say what, 443 00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:26,640 Speaker 17: there's a gap, but then that gap closes, we got 444 00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:29,880 Speaker 17: to be able to fix and help them. So when 445 00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:32,240 Speaker 17: you play behind it, you need the live practice reps 446 00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:34,159 Speaker 17: and we've gotten more of those in this camp and 447 00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:34,840 Speaker 17: that's helped us. 448 00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:40,000 Speaker 16: Just what's kind of veteran presence to see ray and 449 00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:41,520 Speaker 16: how is that helping you guys as ship. 450 00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:44,760 Speaker 17: I'm really excited for Jerome because you know, he gets 451 00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:49,440 Speaker 17: to play in his hometown and for anybody, for anybody 452 00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:51,439 Speaker 17: to be able to get to play this in this 453 00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:55,520 Speaker 17: league in your hometown, that's exciting. He's been very positive 454 00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:58,560 Speaker 17: and he has not played in this type system, and 455 00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:00,399 Speaker 17: he's put in the work to really the master of 456 00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:03,320 Speaker 17: the system. This week, for example, he's just and we 457 00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:05,520 Speaker 17: were just in the meeting talking about it. His breaks 458 00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:08,960 Speaker 17: have gotten faster and faster, and he feels comfortable. We 459 00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:11,359 Speaker 17: had to talk at the beginning of camp and I said, 460 00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:13,199 Speaker 17: in a few weeks, let's let's do it again, and 461 00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:15,080 Speaker 17: I said, how do you feel? And he just smiles, 462 00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:17,359 Speaker 17: big smile, and like I'm like, all right, cool, he's 463 00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:18,080 Speaker 17: getting ready to go. 464 00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:22,960 Speaker 12: So he's he's he's really good with the younger guys. 465 00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:26,720 Speaker 17: He's very positive, and he said a few things like hey, 466 00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:28,800 Speaker 17: expect this just by the side, just kind of pulls 467 00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:30,520 Speaker 17: them aside and says things he probably doesn't want me 468 00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:34,920 Speaker 17: to say all that, but but I'm definitely glad Jerome's here, 469 00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:37,320 Speaker 17: and you know, we're gonna need all of them.
