So 16 00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:02,360 Speaker 2: now second day and pads for us, a few more 17 00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:04,039 Speaker 2: team drills going against each other. 18 00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:04,959 Speaker 3: Uh So you. 19 00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:08,920 Speaker 2: Expect, just with naturally expect these to be competitive and 20 00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:12,880 Speaker 2: push each other. But there's still a lot that both sides, offense, defense, 21 00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:16,800 Speaker 2: special teams that we're continuing to install. So we're still 22 00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:19,800 Speaker 2: in the infancy of putting really all the systems in. 23 00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:23,560 Speaker 3: Too many games. 24 00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:27,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, well tomorrow we'll do some two minute and really 25 00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:33,440 Speaker 2: throughout we're introducing different situations in meetings, in practice and 26 00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:37,399 Speaker 2: walk through. So it's really it's been going on, I 27 00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:41,800 Speaker 2: guess as you start camp, but uh, we try very 28 00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:43,560 Speaker 2: hard to mix in situations throughout. 29 00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:44,520 Speaker 3: How have you seen the. 30 00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:47,960 Speaker 4: Players respond to the schedule changes while they were down. 31 00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:48,960 Speaker 3: While they've been down here? 32 00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:54,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's again I don't That doesn't bother me from 33 00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:57,040 Speaker 2: the standpoint of it. It's good for your players and 34 00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:00,480 Speaker 2: coaches and staff to be ready to it at a 35 00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:02,800 Speaker 2: moment's notice. And and that's we just have to be 36 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:04,120 Speaker 2: used to those type of things. 37 00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:04,800 Speaker 3: Uh. 38 00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,680 Speaker 2: Again, I would point out that the hard work is 39 00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:11,080 Speaker 2: our equipment staff, are video staff, are trainers. Those are 40 00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:14,560 Speaker 2: the people that uh get impacted the most by schedule changes, 41 00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:19,480 Speaker 2: and they've done a great job. Like we haven't seen 42 00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:24,040 Speaker 2: z Z will be out there, will not? 43 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:26,399 Speaker 5: Who else? 44 00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:29,400 Speaker 2: Getting really close? 45 00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:30,080 Speaker 5: Very close? 46 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:33,480 Speaker 6: How about my files? 47 00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:34,240 Speaker 3: Still not ready? 48 00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:35,320 Speaker 2: He's very close. 49 00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:39,160 Speaker 7: Yeah, we haven't uh even at OTAs if we were, 50 00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:40,680 Speaker 7: we were at me, can't. 51 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 8: We haven't seen Judy, right, right are you get for 52 00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:45,360 Speaker 8: him and stuff? 53 00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:48,320 Speaker 2: And uh, I I just I when you're dealing with 54 00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:52,320 Speaker 2: any medical type of things, Tony, I just trust what 55 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,120 Speaker 2: the doctors and and the medical staff say. When when 56 00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:56,480 Speaker 2: the player's ready, he'll be ready. 57 00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:56,920 Speaker 3: Uh. 58 00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:00,160 Speaker 2: He's done a great job in walkthroughs and meeting is 59 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:03,520 Speaker 2: very very in tune, very intelligent football players. So of 60 00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:06,120 Speaker 2: course you want your players out there a sap and 61 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:08,520 Speaker 2: throw everybody out there, But the reality is you have 62 00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:11,000 Speaker 2: to trust uh in the medical staff here and just 63 00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:18,320 Speaker 2: he'll be out there when he's ready. No, I don't 64 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:20,920 Speaker 2: know the exact date, but he's working through it and 65 00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:22,000 Speaker 2: he's getting very very close. 66 00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,760 Speaker 4: We see Miles jump out there without a helmet for 67 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:27,800 Speaker 4: a couple of reps. We've seen Judy on uh the 68 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:30,160 Speaker 4: other day he caught a couple of balls. 69 00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:32,560 Speaker 3: Just what is behind that? Is that just an indication 70 00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:33,440 Speaker 3: that both guys are. 71 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:35,920 Speaker 2: So close exactly and they're not on pup. You're they're 72 00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:37,640 Speaker 2: not on the list. So when you're on those lists, 73 00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:41,200 Speaker 2: you can't jump in there. So those guys are are rehabbing, 74 00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:43,320 Speaker 2: getting really close and they can get any of those 75 00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:44,840 Speaker 2: walkthrough reps, jogged through reps. 76 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,200 Speaker 3: If you will Kevin your linebacker room, that's a little 77 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 3: different this year. 78 00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 4: Hockey and Anthony Gone, Jordan Pison, a couple other guys. 79 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:52,600 Speaker 3: How's that room taking shape? 80 00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:55,600 Speaker 2: All these Yeah, I've been very impressed, uh with coach 81 00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 2: Tarborn and that whole group. It's it's like a lot 82 00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:00,920 Speaker 2: of our rooms, a good mix of young and old, 83 00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:02,920 Speaker 2: and guys that have been here and some newer guys. 84 00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:06,240 Speaker 2: I think Jordan Hicks is a very impressive pro to me, 85 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:10,040 Speaker 2: awesome off the field, a leader, has been in a 86 00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:12,360 Speaker 2: bunch of different situations, has been in this system before, 87 00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:15,640 Speaker 2: so certainly somebody that we are really excited to add 88 00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:16,040 Speaker 2: to our group. 89 00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:19,000 Speaker 3: Okay, take on the word with the leadership role. 90 00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:20,680 Speaker 5: Absolutely. 91 00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:24,200 Speaker 2: I mean I see Jeremiah maturing and growing and like 92 00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:27,200 Speaker 2: all of our young players do, and growing certainly into 93 00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:29,560 Speaker 2: his football role, but also growing into a leadership role 94 00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:37,039 Speaker 2: as well. So I think that's a big piece of this. 95 00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:38,720 Speaker 2: I think this is year ten for him if I'm 96 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:41,559 Speaker 2: not mistaken, So that doesn't happen by accident. That's somebody 97 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:45,080 Speaker 2: who really takes care of his body, plays well, has 98 00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:47,360 Speaker 2: been in a bunch of different systems, so he can 99 00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:49,839 Speaker 2: impart a ton of wisdom on those young players just 100 00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:53,320 Speaker 2: by his sheer numbers of years in this league. Two 101 00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:58,760 Speaker 2: offensive line coaches, How about the call an system is 102 00:04:58,760 --> 00:04:59,200 Speaker 2: still there? 103 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,560 Speaker 3: First? What percentage is new to this. 104 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:07,200 Speaker 2: From a schematic standpoint, Tony, Uh, that's a good question. 105 00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:09,000 Speaker 2: I think you know. 106 00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:09,400 Speaker 7: It's hard. 107 00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:11,720 Speaker 2: I go back to February March is when you have 108 00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,000 Speaker 2: so many of those conversations and how you want to 109 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,120 Speaker 2: teach things. There are certain things that we that we've 110 00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:18,440 Speaker 2: done here that will do exactly the same, and Uh, 111 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:20,560 Speaker 2: there's other things that maybe you tinker with and you 112 00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:22,320 Speaker 2: add a little bit of nuance, and then there's things 113 00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:25,039 Speaker 2: that we're gonna implement and install that we haven't done. 114 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 2: And I think that's that's the nature of year to 115 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,680 Speaker 2: year football that you better be updating. But certainly when 116 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:32,760 Speaker 2: you bring in like you mentioned Andy and Roy with 117 00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:37,640 Speaker 2: different backgrounds, specifically in the run game, there's obviously things 118 00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:39,800 Speaker 2: that we'll do that are that are different, But I 119 00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:41,000 Speaker 2: can't put a percentage on it. 120 00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:49,120 Speaker 3: A jet Jen acts I do, I do. The Broncos 121 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:51,160 Speaker 3: are coming here next month, you get a consult speak. 122 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:53,360 Speaker 2: I didn't know that did. I just gonna ask you 123 00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:54,200 Speaker 2: when are they coming? 124 00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:55,400 Speaker 7: Road? 125 00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:55,679 Speaker 3: Trips. 126 00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:59,000 Speaker 2: Oh okay, I was just curious if it's somewhere that 127 00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:02,480 Speaker 2: they didn't call me. Yeah, I'm happy to share some 128 00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:04,279 Speaker 2: uh some tips to them though. 129 00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:07,680 Speaker 3: One on one receiver for this quarterbacks. 130 00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:08,480 Speaker 2: We will today and tomorrow. 131 00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:11,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, what will be some of those tips about practicing 132 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:11,440 Speaker 3: your own. 133 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:18,840 Speaker 2: Can't predict the weather? Uh, yeah, that's again the nice 134 00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,479 Speaker 2: part of being here in under one roof is you 135 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:24,320 Speaker 2: can make quick adjustments. It's not a big deal. Let's say, hey, 136 00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:27,400 Speaker 2: we're moving practice up, we're moving practice back, because everybody's 137 00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:31,200 Speaker 2: here in a shuttle right away from the practice facility. So, uh, 138 00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:34,880 Speaker 2: the ability to adjust is certainly helpful being here. 139 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:38,680 Speaker 3: You think it helps to be an experience. He is 140 00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:42,000 Speaker 3: to walk into a number of defensive has almost everybody 141 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:43,839 Speaker 3: else's fact. But I mean like you're kind of watching 142 00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:45,320 Speaker 3: you to established. 143 00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:48,640 Speaker 2: Unit and maybe a young guy would strung more than 144 00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:50,760 Speaker 2: you guys been around as long as he hit. I 145 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:53,360 Speaker 2: think the biggest part of it, Scott would be it's 146 00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:55,800 Speaker 2: a system that he's played in, you know, being with 147 00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 2: Koe Schwartz, so he knows this system. Obviously, there's differences 148 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:03,200 Speaker 2: and calling things different and uh, some new things that 149 00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:05,200 Speaker 2: we're doing. I'm sure that they weren't doing back in Philly, 150 00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:08,480 Speaker 2: but the foundation the corps is similar, so I think 151 00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:12,360 Speaker 2: that eases the transition. And I think Jordan's he's a pro. 152 00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:15,000 Speaker 2: He's a pros pro ten years in this league. He 153 00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:17,960 Speaker 2: fits in really well with us culturally, fits in well 154 00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:20,880 Speaker 2: with the players, So I think that's been an easy transition. 155 00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:23,320 Speaker 3: Last year, the last day he was pretty much a 156 00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:26,400 Speaker 3: full practice. Is that still the plan for tomorrow? 157 00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:27,760 Speaker 2: It is weather permitting. 158 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:32,680 Speaker 3: Kevin played before the based Charlie on by. 159 00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:34,800 Speaker 2: Caleb. 160 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:41,960 Speaker 7: What did you just see from because he's. 161 00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:41,880 Speaker 2: He's here already, he's on the practice field. So uh, 162 00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:44,560 Speaker 2: he was with us all spring, so he won't miss 163 00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:48,880 Speaker 2: a beat. Very athletic player, excited about what he brings 164 00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:51,800 Speaker 2: to the room, you know, a tough kid, smart, so 165 00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:52,720 Speaker 2: excited that he's back. 166 00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:56,600 Speaker 3: Last year, did you consider doing something like that again. 167 00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:58,080 Speaker 2: Or was that just the service to I think you 168 00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:00,880 Speaker 2: always look at the schedule well if there's something that 169 00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:03,080 Speaker 2: would make sense. I didn't see anything that would make 170 00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:06,280 Speaker 2: sense for staying anywhere for a week just but that 171 00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:07,960 Speaker 2: was based more on the schedule itself. 172 00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:10,960 Speaker 3: I'm sorry, what'd you guys do yesterday? 173 00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,680 Speaker 7: We worked, Callahan had a big. 174 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:15,400 Speaker 3: Influence in the running game for four years. 175 00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:18,760 Speaker 7: Does is Roy not kind of the running game line coach? 176 00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:22,760 Speaker 2: No, I mean you mentioned specifically the run game.

So when you talk about putting a run 180 00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:35,400 Speaker 2: game or or a pass game together, you're you're really 181 00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:38,360 Speaker 2: pulling from all of your coaches, and even in all 182 00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:41,280 Speaker 2: previous years, it was, you know, a group effort when 183 00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:41,960 Speaker 2: you put it together. 184 00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:45,680 Speaker 1: Next it's offensive line coach Andy Dickerson, who discusses the 185 00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:52,880 Speaker 1: offensive lines performance after the team's first day in Pats. 186 00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:54,840 Speaker 3: Absolutely. 187 00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:58,920 Speaker 7: Yeah, absolutely.

But the good thing is you can get 221 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:18,079 Speaker 7: reps and stack reps, get the communication with the different guy. 222 00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:20,480 Speaker 7: So we just try to have everybody available for all 223 00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:22,840 Speaker 7: those situations and then the more work you can get 224 00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:25,679 Speaker 7: and you know, the better. Always the one, the one 225 00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:26,520 Speaker 7: was kind of in and out. 226 00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:29,280 Speaker 3: It looked like his shoulder early on in practice. 227 00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:31,520 Speaker 7: He had an update on him and yeah, he he 228 00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:34,280 Speaker 7: you know, that happens. I'm in the middle of the series, 229 00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:36,640 Speaker 7: something may happen. The next guy goes in and they, 230 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:38,679 Speaker 7: you know, the trainer say hey, we're looking at him, 231 00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:40,600 Speaker 7: and you say, okay, cool, you have the next guy ready, 232 00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:42,959 Speaker 7: and then hey he's back in or boom, he's back 233 00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:44,679 Speaker 7: in with the next group. So he finished out the thing. 234 00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:47,640 Speaker 7: So as far as I'm concerned, until they tell me different. 235 00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:49,720 Speaker 7: You know, we finished up that practice, so feel pretty 236 00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:50,160 Speaker 7: good about that. 237 00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:52,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, and he's I mean, he seemed he seemed like 238 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:53,439 Speaker 3: he really wanted to get back other and then of 239 00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:55,199 Speaker 3: course he did get backgether. So what does it say 240 00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:55,679 Speaker 3: about him? 241 00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:58,640 Speaker 7: I mean, yeah, you know, I mean, football is a 242 00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:01,360 Speaker 7: game where injuries happen and different things happen, and it's like, 243 00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:03,959 Speaker 7: you know, whatever those things are. And again I let 244 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,360 Speaker 7: the experts be the expert on that stuff. And you know, 245 00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:08,920 Speaker 7: Joe his staff do a great job. So hey, here 246 00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:11,320 Speaker 7: we're looking at this X y Z. Great boom. Next 247 00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:13,400 Speaker 7: guy goes in Jermaina fetti hopped in there. You know, 248 00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:16,480 Speaker 7: I have all the confidence in him. And then you know, hey, 249 00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:18,640 Speaker 7: he's back up raady to go okay, cool, and then 250 00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:19,480 Speaker 7: we get back out there. 251 00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:21,280 Speaker 3: Adie, what are the first few days of pads mean 252 00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:23,400 Speaker 3: to the offense? Fish? 253 00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:27,679 Speaker 7: Maybe I'm a little different, but sometimes I think walk 254 00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:29,640 Speaker 7: through reps were probably some of the better reps because 255 00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:31,840 Speaker 7: you're going against yourself a lot of times, the offensive 256 00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:34,719 Speaker 7: line against offensive line, understanding the techniques and the things 257 00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:36,720 Speaker 7: that we're trying to work. So I make a big 258 00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:39,319 Speaker 7: embasis to the to the whole room that we get 259 00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:41,679 Speaker 7: to control and dictate the different techniques and things, and 260 00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:43,840 Speaker 7: the guys on defense know exactly what we're trying to do. 261 00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:46,520 Speaker 7: When it's the offensive line. Again, you love pads. You 262 00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:49,360 Speaker 7: love you know, it's a physical game, so again setting 263 00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:51,080 Speaker 7: their pads. But I mean, you have a veteran group. 264 00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:53,480 Speaker 7: You got joel Eth and Wyatt, do want like all 265 00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:56,040 Speaker 7: those guys James's played every single year, started every single 266 00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:57,600 Speaker 7: year he's probably been in the league. I'm pretty sure. 267 00:11:58,160 --> 00:11:59,560 Speaker 7: I thought he did play a couple. 268 00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:06,400 Speaker 9: At that's probably practice I was watching, Okay, Yeah, So 269 00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:09,200 Speaker 9: and then those guys have hitting pads, right, These are 270 00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:09,840 Speaker 9: guys who've. 271 00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:11,400 Speaker 7: Played and banged and you know all those things. So 272 00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:13,160 Speaker 7: it's one of those you love to have the pads 273 00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:15,280 Speaker 7: on just because it's football. It's that you know, physical game. 274 00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:17,319 Speaker 7: You hear that the pads popping, you get a real feel. 275 00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:19,360 Speaker 7: So I think any time you can continue to work 276 00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:22,760 Speaker 7: your craft and pads it helps. But you know, it's 277 00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:25,360 Speaker 7: not as big of a deal in my mind, it's hey, 278 00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:28,679 Speaker 7: are they communicating? Is there the mental aspects there? Did 279 00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:31,000 Speaker 7: they make the right adjustments when those things happen. But again, 280 00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:33,200 Speaker 7: you love seeing people with a good, good fit in 281 00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:35,440 Speaker 7: a zone combination or a gap combination you. 282 00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:37,000 Speaker 3: Want as a young player. It seems like he has 283 00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,040 Speaker 3: a really high ceiling. So it kind of take us 284 00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:41,240 Speaker 3: through your impressions of him from Afar down your first 285 00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:43,400 Speaker 3: few months of trying to get into resency. 286 00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:46,120 Speaker 7: Yeah. I love being around Dewan. He brings a great 287 00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:48,679 Speaker 7: energy to the room. You know, ask good questions, stuff 288 00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 7: that you may not think about, Hey, d you know, 289 00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:53,320 Speaker 7: and get trying to get clarity. You saw you know, 290 00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:55,440 Speaker 7: you watch his tape from last year. You see, uh, 291 00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:58,000 Speaker 7: the talent that he has. And just like with everybody 292 00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:00,600 Speaker 7: from you know, Delann to Whippler to you know, even 293 00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:03,840 Speaker 7: still Ethan and why just like the consistency for everybody 294 00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:06,040 Speaker 7: just to continue to work their craft. So, you know, 295 00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:07,840 Speaker 7: excited about what he's been able to do. And I'm 296 00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:11,840 Speaker 7: just continue to build that relationship relationship with him, learn him, 297 00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:13,440 Speaker 7: and just keep trying to get him to take you know, 298 00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:15,360 Speaker 7: every day. If everybody just gets a little bit better, 299 00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:16,520 Speaker 7: then we all get a little bit better. 300 00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:18,480 Speaker 3: Kind of one hasn't come out of the building yet. 301 00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:21,920 Speaker 7: What itself with the color, Yeah, well based on the 302 00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:26,160 Speaker 7: field watching. Yeah, so with Jack or anybody who's not 303 00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:28,319 Speaker 7: on the field, like either there with the strength or 304 00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:30,960 Speaker 7: with training whatever their process is, you know. And again 305 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:33,160 Speaker 7: I try to focus on my guys being you know, 306 00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:35,400 Speaker 7: newer to this team and just locking in on the 307 00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:37,760 Speaker 7: guys of Avail you know that are available there. And 308 00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:40,000 Speaker 7: again when he's in the classroom, he's asking good questions. 309 00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:42,280 Speaker 7: You see him talking to the younger guys. So I 310 00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:44,199 Speaker 7: don't have any more updating than an I know he's 311 00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:46,640 Speaker 7: attacking and trying to get back as fast as he can. 312 00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:49,680 Speaker 4: We ask you when you you know, Scott here about 313 00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:52,280 Speaker 4: taking over for Bill, just how have you seen the guys? 314 00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:55,800 Speaker 3: Uh, you know, respond cause I obviously you're you're teaching 315 00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:57,840 Speaker 3: some things and maybe build and teach. You're doing it 316 00:13:57,920 --> 00:13:59,280 Speaker 3: your way, not Bill's way. 317 00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:02,640 Speaker 4: Just how you've seen that group, but adjust and respond 318 00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:04,439 Speaker 4: to the the new way of doing things. 319 00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:06,520 Speaker 7: Yeah, the guys have been awesome. And again, I I 320 00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:08,640 Speaker 7: think I've mentioned before. You know I've worked under Bill. 321 00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:10,560 Speaker 7: There's a lot of carry over, a lot of good things. 322 00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:12,480 Speaker 7: And you know, I'm a big believer. If it's not broke, 323 00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:16,080 Speaker 7: don't fix it. So again, maybe some subtleties or little nuances, 324 00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:18,040 Speaker 7: but I mean, anytime you're in a room and you 325 00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:20,240 Speaker 7: get to talk football with these guys are so intelligent, 326 00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:22,760 Speaker 7: they ask good questions of camaraderie.

It's getting 333 00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:40,360 Speaker 7: to you know, it's really a good team building opportunity. 334 00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:42,000 Speaker 7: So I mean, I've had a blast. The guys are 335 00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:43,880 Speaker 7: fun and they ask good questions, so they make it 336 00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:46,480 Speaker 7: challenging and make sure you're always prepared so you can 337 00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:48,760 Speaker 7: ask those questions. Answer the questions that they ask. But 338 00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:51,120 Speaker 7: just continue to help those guys. Maybe it's a little 339 00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:54,360 Speaker 7: technique or anything. And having Roy and Nick in the 340 00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:56,520 Speaker 7: room as well to help and just you know, everybody, 341 00:14:56,560 --> 00:15:00,480 Speaker 7: it's a group effort with the whole thing. Yeah it 342 00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:02,720 Speaker 7: Zack's been working hard. You know, we have the rookie meetings, 343 00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:05,400 Speaker 7: we have the opportunity periods. So those guys are you know, 344 00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:07,080 Speaker 7: used to look at what they're doing and just try 345 00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:08,840 Speaker 7: to every day. Okay, here's one little thing you might 346 00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:11,120 Speaker 7: want to work on, and just you know, ask a question. 347 00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:15,120 Speaker 7: Smart tough kid. It's hard working. So happiness. You know, again, 348 00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:17,240 Speaker 7: as he's getting more reps and reps and again with 349 00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:19,960 Speaker 7: the pads on, it does help. The pads do help 350 00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:22,600 Speaker 7: give a little bit more information, so it'll be interesting 351 00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:23,320 Speaker 7: to go back. 352 00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:31,560 Speaker 4: So far with Deshawn's mobility and his and also his 353 00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:38,640 Speaker 4: ability to to freelance escape pressure. Mate, But just what 354 00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:42,600 Speaker 4: type of challenges does that present to you from a 355 00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:46,040 Speaker 4: I guess a coaching technique standpoint, because it's not your 356 00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:49,880 Speaker 4: prototypical keep the guy you know, keep the guy you. 357 00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:52,680 Speaker 3: Know, keep that pocket clean and things like that. 358 00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:56,040 Speaker 7: Run around quarterback, I gotta see it. But okay, yeah, 359 00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:58,240 Speaker 7: you block the guy until they throw the ball. Like 360 00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:00,800 Speaker 7: that's that's the intent, right, Okay, we have our calls, 361 00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:04,120 Speaker 7: we have the protection. And again, if there's some there's 362 00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:06,320 Speaker 7: some movement or pocket movement or whatever it is, then 363 00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:08,080 Speaker 7: you have to stay connected and you have to strain. 364 00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:10,200 Speaker 7: I give the ugly strainers that we'd like to talk about. 365 00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:12,960 Speaker 7: Is that finish that effort that you know, old linemen 366 00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:16,200 Speaker 7: are inherently built with. But again, those players that may 367 00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:18,720 Speaker 7: take a little more time have a potential to be explosive. 368 00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:21,440 Speaker 7: So when you have a dynamic quarterback and athlete such 369 00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:24,160 Speaker 7: as Deshaun, you're gonna block and strain. So that's another 370 00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:26,360 Speaker 7: great thing about being in sometimes when the weather's a 371 00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:28,840 Speaker 7: little hot or something, just to continue to press yourself 372 00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:31,600 Speaker 7: to work and strain you know you have you're coaching Olne. Hey, 373 00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:33,680 Speaker 7: you got a three technique? Okay, Well what's you gonna 374 00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:35,560 Speaker 7: do after that? Well? Go, you know, you gotta set 375 00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:37,160 Speaker 7: the guy, you gotta block the guy, and you gotta 376 00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:39,560 Speaker 7: stay connected. So the ball's gone. That's our challenge. And 377 00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:42,440 Speaker 7: so every time we're we're up for that figures. 378 00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:44,440 Speaker 3: But more when you look at the offensive line is 379 00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:45,600 Speaker 3: splecause you've got. 380 00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:47,400 Speaker 6: You know that and the new yors has been here 381 00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:48,200 Speaker 6: in a training. 382 00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:51,280 Speaker 3: What do you say, took up this group? Just with 383 00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:53,000 Speaker 3: the group of guys you have veterans to. 384 00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:53,680 Speaker 2: The younger guds. 385 00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:56,480 Speaker 7: I I mean, I think I've hit it before. But 386 00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:59,160 Speaker 7: it's just like you have a you have the Ethan, 387 00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:01,640 Speaker 7: you have the Joel, you have the why, you have Dewan. 388 00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:03,480 Speaker 7: So you have a spectrum just like you said of 389 00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:07,200 Speaker 7: old young you know, vets, rookies, and then just the 390 00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:09,280 Speaker 7: way of working with those guys. And it's a fun group. 391 00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:11,800 Speaker 7: The offensive line you probably have the most meeting time 392 00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:14,240 Speaker 7: where we're isolated just because of the different things that 393 00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:16,000 Speaker 7: we have to do and what the skill guys do. 394 00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:18,040 Speaker 7: So when you're in that group, like you're in there 395 00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:20,359 Speaker 7: for those meetings, and you make it is you make 396 00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:23,400 Speaker 7: it a football conversation. So again, you I'm watching film, 397 00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:25,119 Speaker 7: you might say something, coach something up, and then you 398 00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:27,480 Speaker 7: got Joel Botonio saying something. You look over, why Teller's 399 00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:29,840 Speaker 7: talking to jv I and you got Dewan talking to somebody. 400 00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:32,680 Speaker 7: So the fact that you can coach and talk to everybody, 401 00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:34,919 Speaker 7: and I love when those side conversations are going on 402 00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:37,280 Speaker 7: because these guys are all football. They're talking a little 403 00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:39,840 Speaker 7: tip from Lit who's played for a bunch of years, 404 00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:42,560 Speaker 7: been helping Ja jylland the same thing with the you 405 00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:45,240 Speaker 7: know when Joel's talking to Zach, those little those little 406 00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:48,080 Speaker 7: tidbits of nuggets that you only get from playing that experience. 407 00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:50,639 Speaker 7: So and then you know the challenge of hey, no, 408 00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:53,480 Speaker 7: no details, too small for a rookie. And again Joel 409 00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:55,120 Speaker 7: Batonia on the first thad he's like, hey, I want 410 00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:57,400 Speaker 7: to be coached. So you have those those veteran guys 411 00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:00,000 Speaker 7: who Ethan Posik are always asking, trying to get feedback, 412 00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:02,680 Speaker 7: and so you love working with a group that continue 413 00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:04,960 Speaker 7: always has you thinking about how can I get this 414 00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:07,440 Speaker 7: guy a little better?

We're all learning all the positions 438 00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:06,560 Speaker 6: and we're rolling all the linebackers in to work with 439 00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:07,840 Speaker 6: each other because no. 440 00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:10,159 Speaker 10: Matter what happens.

It was pretty 458 00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:54,120 Speaker 6: and pad leveled down. And so Jordan's at the point 459 00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:58,280 Speaker 6: where he can really work through some simple technique things 460 00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:00,159 Speaker 6: like if he feels himself getting up too high, then 461 00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:00,560 Speaker 6: he'll do. 462 00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:03,080 Speaker 5: Something for that.
