1
00:00:02,560 --> 00:00:06,600
Speaker 1: How's it going good? Mac? There's been a few reps

2
00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:08,280
Speaker 1: and I know it's very early, so we don't want

3
00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:11,880
Speaker 1: to be premature where I don't know if they break down,

4
00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:13,320
Speaker 1: but you end up running with the ball and I'm

5
00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:15,520
Speaker 1: sure that's not the design of a lot of these ways.

6
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:19,200
Speaker 1: The same same thing with Bailey. Where are you guys

7
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:22,720
Speaker 1: at through two days of pod of practices? Yeah, I

8
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:24,720
Speaker 1: think we have a lot of room to grow here

9
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:27,440
Speaker 1: and um, yeah, the goal is for me not to

10
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:29,720
Speaker 1: run the ball and throw it, so I think our

11
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:31,319
Speaker 1: offensive line is doing a good job. We just have

12
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:34,480
Speaker 1: to get on the same page. Mac. Do you feel

13
00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:37,519
Speaker 1: comfortable with what they're asking you to run schematically with

14
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:40,840
Speaker 1: some of the tweaks that they're making. Yeah, I think. Um,

15
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:42,680
Speaker 1: we're all just trying to learn and figure it out

16
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:46,320
Speaker 1: and just move along here. And at the end of

17
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:48,640
Speaker 1: the day, it's the player's job to execute the plays

18
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:50,519
Speaker 1: that the coaches won and they've done a good job

19
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 1: explaining each play and our job is to go out

20
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 1: there and execute it. Befits DC. When you guys are

21
00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:59,080
Speaker 1: working with formations with tight splits, you know, either before

22
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 1: the snap or as a kind developers, Yeah, I think Um,

23
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:07,760
Speaker 1: that's a specific football question, but UM, I like football.

24
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:12,040
Speaker 1: UM yeah, I think different teams around the league use

25
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 1: type bunches and UM a lot of times it's for

26
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:17,120
Speaker 1: their advantage, and we're trying to do that a little

27
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 1: bit more. Um there's you know, different plays you can

28
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:23,400
Speaker 1: run out of them, so anything that's different can help

29
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:26,680
Speaker 1: confuse the defense. On Saturday, it looked like you were

30
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 1: a little frustrated without practice ended, and I want to ask,

31
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 1: when when you are a frustrated with maybe something unfolds,

32
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 1: how do you how do you handle the frustration and

33
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:36,480
Speaker 1: what sort of your process to what through right after practice? Yeah.

34
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 1: I think that's why we practice, And UM, I care

35
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 1: a lot about football and we all do, and it's

36
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 1: very competitive, and when we lose the day, to me,

37
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 1: that's like a shot in the heart, you know, it's

38
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 1: like we lost the game. So there's a lot more

39
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 1: than that, because it's practice you want to learn. But

40
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, we're out here competing

41
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 1: and the goal is to, you know, have more good

42
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 1: plays than the other team, and in that case, that's

43
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 1: the defense right now. And I feel like we can

44
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 1: compete even more and even better. But a lot of

45
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 1: it's just execution and the xs and o's and figuring

46
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 1: out how to communicate with each other. So, um, better

47
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:10,920
Speaker 1: days ahead. But you know, we're in the start of

48
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,520
Speaker 1: this thing and we got to get it going. But uh,

49
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 1: we just take it day by day. That's something that

50
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:18,640
Speaker 1: you have to remind yourself that it's a process since

51
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 1: things are the offense is changing a little bit, and

52
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 1: if you don't have a good day, it's just part

53
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 1: of the process. Yeah. I mean, I was fortunate to

54
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 1: play in a lot of games last year, and not

55
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 1: every game is gonna be perfect, and um, that's what

56
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 1: I learned, and not every practice is going to be perfect.

57
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:37,079
Speaker 1: But I just stick to my routine and I know

58
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 1: what I'm supposed to do, I know what I'm looking for,

59
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 1: and sometimes I try different things in practice that I

60
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 1: wouldn't try in the game, and um, that's the whole

61
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 1: point of practice. So just getting my feet wet and

62
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 1: the new offense and trying different things and getting on

63
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 1: the same page with the coaches is always good. Just

64
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 1: to see it on film and then teach from it.

65
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,079
Speaker 1: For you with what you're trying to do out here

66
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:01,640
Speaker 1: with the offense, it's as opposed to what you're going

67
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 1: through last year. What's the most important thing for you

68
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:05,639
Speaker 1: as you come off the field and you try to

69
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 1: accomplish on the field. I think just continuing by day.

70
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 1: I mean there's a lot more to the day than

71
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 1: just practice, especially like workouts and doing film and all that.

72
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 1: So I'm sticking to my routine just like I did

73
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 1: last year. And obviously when the games come, they come,

74
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:24,359
Speaker 1: But for now, it's just focusing on each day and

75
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:26,919
Speaker 1: figuring out what we can do better and talking through

76
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 1: it and coming up with a plan. How much with

77
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 1: the background of the knowledge that you have of what

78
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:32,800
Speaker 1: you do and how much Yeah, I think I have

79
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 1: a good understanding of like offensive football, and I understand

80
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 1: how plays work and how plays don't. And our job

81
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 1: is to execute the plays. And when there's something that

82
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:43,839
Speaker 1: doesn't work and I know it's not going to work,

83
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 1: then I need to fix it and make it a

84
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 1: better play. So that's what we're trying to get through

85
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 1: on the field. That's why you have really good quarterbacks

86
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 1: can help change plays and fix them and make them better.

87
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:56,120
Speaker 1: And that's part of practice, is finding the right play

88
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 1: and then running it and getting a completion or getting

89
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 1: a big play, so a lot that goes into it.

90
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 1: As a rookie, you're kind of just running the plays

91
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 1: and you know, I had a lot of power last

92
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 1: year to change the plays, which I was fortunate, and

93
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 1: this year we're kind of working through that right now

94
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 1: period Right now or do you just are you went like, hey,

95
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 1: let's collect the information to run the play and see

96
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 1: whether or not it works. Like you're not going to

97
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:19,360
Speaker 1: be audible one out of a you know what I'm saying. Yeah,

98
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 1: I mean I try to just get us in the

99
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 1: best play with the tools that I've been given. And um,

100
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 1: right now we're just trying to run our bass plays,

101
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 1: I think, and and kind of just see it on film.

102
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 1: So that's the biggest part. Um. You know, like I said,

103
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,839
Speaker 1: every offense has a system where they can change the play,

104
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:38,720
Speaker 1: and we have that too. So when we get there,

105
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 1: we'll get there. But right now, it's more about the fundamentals.

106
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 1: I think tis a hard worker. Um, he's starting to

107
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 1: really grasp some of the things we're doing and getting

108
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:52,160
Speaker 1: open He clearly has the speed to get open um.

109
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:54,280
Speaker 1: And we have a great group of guys and we

110
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:55,920
Speaker 1: need to spread the ball out to them. That's the

111
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 1: whole point of this offense is get the ball to

112
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:00,719
Speaker 1: different people and not key on on one person and

113
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:04,160
Speaker 1: spread the wealth and let those guys run after catch said,

114
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 1: it sounds like it feels like you get shot through

115
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 1: the heart if you have a not so great day

116
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 1: out here when you go back and watch the film, tho,

117
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:14,479
Speaker 1: are you've seen progress that you would like to see

118
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 1: um or is it just relive in a bad experience? Yeah?

119
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 1: I mean I look at everything so uh, you know,

120
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 1: I have a lot to learn, but I understand what

121
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 1: makes a good play good and what makes a bad

122
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 1: play bad. I've played football long enough to realize that,

123
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:31,360
Speaker 1: and a lot of it's just talking through it and

124
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 1: finding out ways to attack better. But we have great

125
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:37,120
Speaker 1: coaches that will get us there. I think right now,

126
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 1: it's more about the communication of getting there, and we

127
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 1: need to just kind of grow a little bit more

128
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:44,160
Speaker 1: here and kind of pick up the pace a little

129
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 1: bit and see if we can kind of get ready

130
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 1: for this next week right here. That's all you can

131
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:52,600
Speaker 1: ask for. Debonte Parkers made a bunch of plays. He

132
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:54,680
Speaker 1: seems like he's picked things up quickly. So what's it

133
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 1: been like working with them? Building chemistry. Yeah, he's a

134
00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 1: great receiver and he's played a long time in this league.

135
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,840
Speaker 1: He understands how to attack the football. So we've got

136
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 1: a lot of guys who do a lot of different things,

137
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 1: and my jobs to hit him in the hands and

138
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 1: they'll make the play. So that's what we're gonna try

139
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 1: and do. Scific reason that um Hoyer usually wears a

140
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:18,360
Speaker 1: sleep so I had to carry the tradition on. No,

141
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,600
Speaker 1: I'm just kidding, uh honestly, just try and keep it

142
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 1: a little bit of compression on there, keep it warm

143
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 1: throughout the day. We had a lot of younger guys

144
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 1: get reps today, so just kind of let it stay

145
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 1: warm while I'm waiting to go in. We'll mentioned a

146
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:32,719
Speaker 1: change of focus when you guys have the pads on.

147
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:35,160
Speaker 1: We're last week, maybe you're focusing on the passing game.

148
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:37,720
Speaker 1: Now this week you're maybe working more into the running game,

149
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 1: things like that. How does the focus or mentality change

150
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 1: for you with the pads on now? Yeah, I mean

151
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:44,720
Speaker 1: football is football and it's played in full pads. So

152
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:47,880
Speaker 1: I'm excited for these type of practices and it gets

153
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:50,919
Speaker 1: you ready and confident for the game. So the confidence

154
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 1: needs to build and we need to continue to grow

155
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:55,480
Speaker 1: to be able to put on the pads on game

156
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 1: day and say all right, let's do this and we

157
00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:00,120
Speaker 1: feel confident. So we got to get there. And that's

158
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 1: the biggest thing is just coming together as an offense. Um.

159
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:05,359
Speaker 1: You can get good work in a walk through or

160
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 1: in helmets, but it really comes when you're in full pads,

161
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 1: getting on the same page here a couple of times,

162
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 1: and having a kind of problem solving mindset in the past.

163
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 1: Is that in your mind is you guys work through

164
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 1: a new offense and training camp. The communication part of

165
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 1: that is that the biggest problem you're trying to solve here. Um,

166
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 1: I think it's just like you said, every problem has

167
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 1: a solution. And uh, some of the plays that are running, uh,

168
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 1: we're going out there and seeing what it looks like

169
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 1: first and then trying to figure it out. So that's

170
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:36,239
Speaker 1: the biggest thing, just getting the plays on the screen

171
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 1: and watching them all. Right, here's the problem. This guy's unblocked.

172
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 1: How do we block them? You know? So it's really

173
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 1: not rocket science. But our job is to execute what

174
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 1: they tell us and and go through my reads and

175
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 1: go through my run. My run looks and uh, you

176
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 1: know we're going to continue to grow in that area.

177
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 1: It's just every play has a different is a different play,

178
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 1: whether it's a run or pass, and the communication for

179
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 1: each play is different. So it takes reps, it takes

180
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 1: watching film and doing all that cool Thanks guys,
