1
00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:07,040
Speaker 1: Now that all the preseasons a trading Hampson Bark, could

2
00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:12,880
Speaker 1: you talk about Tank Bigsby's play, especially his ball security,

3
00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:16,720
Speaker 1: which from what we saw in every instance, which perfect.

4
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:19,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's done a good job. And Tank's a guy

5
00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:22,680
Speaker 2: that even last year, it's very very important to him.

6
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:24,560
Speaker 2: I mean, there's not a lot of guys that care

7
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:27,520
Speaker 2: more than Tank cares. And like we mentioned before, there

8
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:30,160
Speaker 2: were kind of some unfortunate things that happened to him

9
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:32,640
Speaker 2: early last year when he just got started as a rookie.

10
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:35,680
Speaker 2: But you know, to watch him throughout the course of

11
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:39,040
Speaker 2: last season as well, and then attack the off season program,

12
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:41,760
Speaker 2: attack training camp. He's just continues to take the steps

13
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:44,159
Speaker 2: that you hope to see from a young player, especially

14
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:46,320
Speaker 2: somebody that we do believe we'll be able to count on.

15
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 2: And he's he's shown that he's earned that and we're

16
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:52,200
Speaker 2: excited about what's ahead for Tank.

17
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:55,840
Speaker 1: Has he got quicker or is he that much more

18
00:00:56,760 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 1: steeped in the offense that he's making decisive decisions?

19
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's part of it. I think just

20
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 2: understanding what we're asking within each concept, understand just time

21
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:11,759
Speaker 2: on task. You know, two years of running a lot

22
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:15,039
Speaker 2: of these concepts, seeing what the what the blocks look like,

23
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:18,280
Speaker 2: what the timing looks like. He's done a good job

24
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 2: just taking coaching, you know, Coach Mack has done a

25
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 2: great job just being very detailed, very thorough with those

26
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 2: guys or what we're looking for, what the expectation is,

27
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 2: what your footwork is, and then holding them accountable with

28
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 2: ball security as well. Going back a couple of weeks

29
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 2: to the campus double whatever you want to call it

30
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 2: with a.

31
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 3: Buster person going way back where he's surprised at Christian's

32
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:44,839
Speaker 3: reaction and how he's kind of stepped up immediately.

33
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 2: No, I don't think so. Well, I think just that's

34
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 2: who Christian is. I mean, and it was more I

35
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 2: don't I don't think that was the level of physicality

36
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:56,680
Speaker 2: we're looking for in that instance, with just jags on

37
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 2: jags basically is how it's going. I think Christian as

38
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 2: a veteran understand that. Honestly. I know a lot of

39
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 2: people didn't see it, so they wouldn't know. But that

40
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 2: was as good of a camp scuffle as you can have.

41
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 2: I mean, it was Christian came up push somebody in

42
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 2: the back, and from there it was more just people

43
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 2: pulling people out of a pile. There was no there

44
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:16,919
Speaker 2: were no cheap shots, there was nothing out of the ordinary.

45
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 2: From that standpoint, nobody did anything dirty. It was more

46
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 2: I think a message was kind of sent of that's

47
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 2: not what we do. And then from there it was

48
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 2: a very clean scuffle, as you put it. So I thought,

49
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 2: you know, I applauded Christian for Christian's leadership in that

50
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:35,079
Speaker 2: moment and the coolest thing. And I told the offenses

51
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 2: the very next day when we met was I stayed

52
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 2: in there after practice, you know, kind of watching guys

53
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 2: finished pressure. I watched Christian go grab Buster Brown, talk

54
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 2: to Buster Brown, man to man, have a conversation. You know,

55
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 2: that's not the expectations. Nothing spilled into the locker room.

56
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 2: So I think from that standpoint, that part of the

57
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 2: leadership is what makes it even better, you know, more

58
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 2: than he was there for his guy. He was the

59
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:58,640
Speaker 2: first one to respond that type of thing, but then

60
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 2: handles it the right way with maturity, leadership, a conversation

61
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 2: with Buster, and it never spilled in anything beyond that.

62
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 2: And so I think that was just a leadership of

63
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 2: a great move of leadership by Christian Kirk. Basically, I

64
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 2: don't watch baseball, but I assume most baseball.

65
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 3: Fight three games on the sideline. Did you like it?

66
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 2: Yeah? You think you're back upstairs.

67
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 3: Or what do you want to do?

68
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 2: I will do whatever coach wants me to do as

69
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:29,799
Speaker 2: far as it goes moving forward. I did enjoy being

70
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 2: on the sideline. It's fun to just interact with the

71
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 2: guys and players from drive to drive, be right there

72
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 2: with coaches, Coach Rausher and I go stand off to

73
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 2: the side, hit the next runs for the next thing,

74
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 2: which has always happened through the headset, but it is

75
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 2: a little different to just go stand side by side

76
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 2: with somebody, talk through it, look everybody in the eye

77
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 2: as they come off, things like that. Now, obviously preseason

78
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 2: is a different level of intensity within a game. But yeah,

79
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 2: I enjoyed it down there, and it's good. It's good

80
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 2: just working through communication on the headset for coaches of

81
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 2: who's going to do down and distance. We switched that

82
00:03:57,600 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 2: up as games went along. We switched it up within

83
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 2: a game of who's identifying defense personnel things like that.

84
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 2: So I thought it was a smooth operation through the headset.

85
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 1: It seemed last week like Trevor had a lot of

86
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 1: success under center, just you know, playing a position. What

87
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 1: are the advantages for a quarterback going under center more so?

88
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:17,719
Speaker 2: Well, I think just in terms of an offensive approach,

89
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 2: it limits your tendencies. It limits the tells that you're

90
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:23,040
Speaker 2: giving to a defense. But a lot of that comes

91
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 2: from being able to stay in those first and second

92
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 2: down situations. You know, being under center on second and

93
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:31,280
Speaker 2: fifteen and some empty set possibly that's not going to

94
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 2: do as much for you. So it's not we're just

95
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 2: not going under to go under, We're going under to

96
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 2: eliminate any tails tendencies. It allows you to get from

97
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 2: play to play without moving people around. And I think

98
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:45,280
Speaker 2: you know, if you're great with the ball handling aspect

99
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:46,920
Speaker 2: of it, you can hide the ball for the defense

100
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,599
Speaker 2: a little bit longer, which I think helps manipulate eyes

101
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:52,360
Speaker 2: a second level players, third level players even slows the

102
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 2: pass rush a little bit as they're trying to decipher

103
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:56,480
Speaker 2: runner pass before they transition into a pass rush on

104
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 2: play actions movements. And I think that's something he's very good,

105
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 2: a really good athlete, so it just kind of helps

106
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,480
Speaker 2: him the second he snaps around and faces the defense

107
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 2: be able to see and dictate and determine what's going

108
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 2: on to see him grow there. Considering, Yeah, I don't

109
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:13,360
Speaker 2: think he ever went under centered. We were talking about

110
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:14,680
Speaker 2: that the other day of just kind of all of

111
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:19,160
Speaker 2: us sharing our experiences as quarterbacks, and I don't think

112
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:21,239
Speaker 2: he'd ever really played under center. He's never really dropped

113
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 2: back under center. I think we've probably had less than

114
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 2: ten since we've been here in our time. But that's

115
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 2: that's something Again, just because he hasn't done much of

116
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 2: it doesn't mean he's not really good at it, and

117
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 2: he wants to continue to work it, and we'll continue

118
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 2: to introduce that and utilize it when we think it's

119
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 2: it's an advantage for our offense. I didn't play much.

120
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:41,239
Speaker 2: I was telling those guys. I didn't take a shotgun.

121
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 2: I'm sorry. I did play. I didn't play in shotgun.

122
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:45,600
Speaker 2: I didn't play in the shotgun ntil my junior year

123
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 2: of college probably, So, I mean, I'm not much older

124
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 2: than the guys, but I'm old enough to where you know.

125
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 2: I mean, the gun and air raid and the seven

126
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 2: on seven summer stuff wasn't really a thing when I

127
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:58,679
Speaker 2: was growing up, So I just I mean we were

128
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 2: in high school, I ran this same offense that they

129
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 2: won state championship with nineteen ninety two, and we did

130
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 2: the same thing. The little kid would run in and

131
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 2: bring the play and third and eight, we're gonna boot

132
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 2: and roll half the field because it was easier to

133
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:11,359
Speaker 2: see half the field, as that was explained to me,

134
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:14,359
Speaker 2: So it was easier to cover half the field. We

135
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:16,720
Speaker 2: had good players.

136
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 3: Trevor fight it through and playing through all those injuries

137
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:22,840
Speaker 3: last year. Obviously that shows the toughness. But what does

138
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:25,920
Speaker 3: that also tell the other guys, you know, the rest

139
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 3: of the offense, right of the team when he does that.

140
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think anybody questions Trevor's toughness at all

141
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 2: of being able to take hits respond. I mean there

142
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:35,720
Speaker 2: were plenty of times. There were probably two or three

143
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 2: instances last year. We probably didn't know until twenty four

144
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:40,600
Speaker 2: hours before the game if he would play, and guys

145
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:42,480
Speaker 2: knew that, and so then to see him continue to

146
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 2: step up and rise of the challenge, play hurt, play

147
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:48,040
Speaker 2: banged up, that says a lot. And it's different for quarterback.

148
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:49,719
Speaker 2: A lot of guys are dealing with a lot of things,

149
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 2: and obviously his is a little bit more public right there,

150
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 2: But missing practice and then us not really knowing if

151
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:56,800
Speaker 2: he was going to go or not, or guys not

152
00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 2: really knowing if he was going to go or not.

153
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:00,120
Speaker 2: I think I think it says a lot for the

154
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 2: way he stepped up. I mean, I think back to

155
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:05,360
Speaker 2: the New Orleans game. It was truly a pregame decision

156
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:07,680
Speaker 2: of how he felt, how he looked, and then to

157
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 2: go out and play the way he did early in

158
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 2: that game was impressive for a number of different reasons.

159
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 2: But I think I don't think anybody questions Trevor's toughness,

160
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 2: at least in that locker room.

161
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 3: So when you get to the point where you're in

162
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 3: the year three or four of the offense as the quarterback,

163
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 3: it's easier to miss a week of practice, you know

164
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 3: what I mean, because you have a little.

165
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 2: Bit more of a sense of Yeah, I think from

166
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 2: an understanding, but I don't think there's any I mean,

167
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:30,720
Speaker 2: you can never duplicate the time on task with guys

168
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 2: of even throwing a certain route that's in the game

169
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 2: plan that week of just here's what it's going to

170
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 2: look like, feel like as you go, and if you

171
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 2: miss those live practice opportunities, I mean, even days that

172
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 2: we have walked through Wednesdays later in the year, we're

173
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 2: getting those throws. On a Thursday, we may come back

174
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 2: and get full speed throws with some of the guys

175
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 2: that highlight some different areas or different timing type throws

176
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 2: that we need to get. So nothing will ever take

177
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 2: the place of those on field live reps, even if

178
00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 2: it's just a receiver and a quarterback throwing together. But

179
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 2: you can never really duplicate that.

180
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 3: I think Doug talked earlier this spring about you know,

181
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 3: year three sometimes takes three or four years, but you know,

182
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 3: once you get to that point, you can have that

183
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 3: jump here. Do you get a sense Trevor's headed for

184
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 3: that jump? Yep?

185
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 2: I think so. I think he was on track for

186
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 2: that last year. I think the first half the season

187
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 2: he was playing as good as anybody.

188
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 1: I don't know if he was getting.

189
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 2: Credit for that outside the building, I have no clue,

190
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 2: but we were very happy with how he was playing,

191
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 2: how he was running the offense, managing games, winning games

192
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 2: for us. So yeah, I think Trevor just continues to

193
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 2: grow every single year within the offense, just within playing quarterback,

194
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 2: leading this team, being the face of the franchise. It's

195
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 2: been super impressive since the day I got here. Just

196
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:44,200
Speaker 2: working with him and to see him grow and step

197
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 2: into I mean, what I think he feels naturally ahead

198
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 2: for him has been really cool to see and I

199
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:51,559
Speaker 2: think he's just going to continue to get better every

200
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:52,080
Speaker 2: single day.

201
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:54,080
Speaker 1: Thanks
