1
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:04,760
Speaker 1: Did get back though. All right, let's uh let's begin.

2
00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:07,200
Speaker 1: Do you expect anybody everybody to be here there or

3
00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:10,720
Speaker 1: any missing and excuse? The only one that won't be

4
00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:14,560
Speaker 1: here today is Cam. You know, he's he's been been

5
00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:16,560
Speaker 1: traveling with the new baby and everything. He's been going

6
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:19,360
Speaker 1: back and forth to Dallas and and spending time there

7
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:22,239
Speaker 1: and and there. Just obviously this time of year there's

8
00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:24,600
Speaker 1: weather and flight issues and different things of that nature.

9
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:27,560
Speaker 1: So he's the only one that that won't attend today.

10
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:46,000
Speaker 1: Rock Yes, Cam, Yeah, right there you go. You gotta

11
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:50,240
Speaker 1: ask you you aware of the lawsuit filed began about

12
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:55,960
Speaker 1: Brandon Man's kind of getting signed to your reaction, You've

13
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:58,320
Speaker 1: heard about him. I saw the article that came out,

14
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:03,600
Speaker 1: you know, obviously disappointing to hear the news that took place,

15
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 1: you know, other than other than that, honestly being that

16
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:12,280
Speaker 1: it's a you know, a legal matter at this time,

17
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 1: you know, uh, can't really comment until til more information

18
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 1: is is gathered. That's the first first I've heard of

19
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 1: it is you don't want to answer, but it alleges that, uh,

20
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 1: this was like some party scene going on on the flight.

21
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 1: I is that? Is that accurate? Or is that not

22
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 1: what that flight lows? Like going on there? I mean, uh,

23
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 1: a typical flight is not that way. It's a business trip.

24
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:40,759
Speaker 1: It's a business trip, and and that's how we that's

25
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 1: how we approach it from an organizational standpoint, you know,

26
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:46,959
Speaker 1: from the league standpoint. So for that when I read that,

27
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 1: you know that that part of is disappointing those it

28
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 1: was branded released Oh because of performance? Is that any

29
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 1: anything to do with this? Or did any did you

30
00:01:57,840 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 1: you know why was he released? Well? I I think

31
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 1: I think there's a couple of reasons. One, yeah, performance,

32
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 1: I mean that's obviously in this business. You know, whether

33
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 1: it's a coach or a player, it's it's performance driven, right,

34
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 1: you know. Then you start talking about contracts, and in

35
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 1: the amount of contracts and the number of the dollars

36
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 1: and cents to go into it a little bit, the

37
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 1: age of the player. I mean, there's a lot of

38
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,360
Speaker 1: things that they can factor into and and the fact

39
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:22,680
Speaker 1: that you know, yeah, it's a it's a position that

40
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 1: it's a key position. You know, it's critical it it

41
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 1: it's valuable because it gives us as a team points

42
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 1: you know, on on the board or not. And then

43
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 1: if we have an opportunity to you know, draft somebody

44
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 1: you know, looking looking forward. Uh, then then we take

45
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 1: advantage of that. So, you know, I think there's several

46
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,799
Speaker 1: factors and and that not just in in this case

47
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 1: and Brandon's case, but I think that's the same way

48
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,240
Speaker 1: with any position that we look at the time you

49
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 1: released made that decision, you didn't you guys didn't know

50
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 1: anything about this or none of this? No, no, right, right?

51
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 1: That is being done on like that flight to London,

52
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 1: or is staff separate from players or yeah, you know,

53
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 1: And I'm not gonna get into a ton of those questions,

54
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 1: you know, right now until again more information, but you know,

55
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 1: we sit down. I'll just just maybe a brief comment.

56
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 1: You know, we do sit down, and and we want

57
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 1: to make sure that you know, the players are together

58
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 1: and the coaches together, staffs together and and things of

59
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 1: that nature, and everybody's comfortable and has you know, has space.

60
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:28,959
Speaker 1: Mac Jones that you've spent a little bit of time

61
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 1: for him here in Jacksonville's traded for him. What what

62
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 1: is your encounter with mac ben so far? And uh,

63
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 1: what do you think about it? As a player, He's uh,

64
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 1: he's the ultimate pro he's done a great job since

65
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 1: he's been here, you know, spending time you know, studying

66
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 1: the offense, Uh, getting getting caught up you know in

67
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 1: the offense. You know, you can see why. I mean,

68
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 1: you know I liked him coming out of college. You know,

69
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 1: uh when when looking at quarterbacks back then, and and

70
00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 1: uh we're excited to have him. It's uh he gives

71
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 1: us a great room. You know, he and c J

72
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 1: as as kind of you know, competing in that in

73
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 1: that role. And he's done a nice job. He throws

74
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 1: a really good ball. He's smart, he's he's you know,

75
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 1: he's uh eccentric, He's can be a little quirky at times.

76
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 1: You know, you you see him out there on the

77
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 1: field doing some different things. But but that's the joy

78
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 1: and the fun. I think that he wanted to get

79
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 1: back to a little bit and and he's done a

80
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 1: he's done a great job for us getting some of

81
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 1: the pressure off a guy. I mean for him coming home.

82
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 1: I mean kind of set a guy for you to

83
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:34,039
Speaker 1: where they can develop to where people thought that he'd be. Yeah,

84
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:36,480
Speaker 1: I think it can. I think, Uh, change of scenery

85
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 1: sometimes is good you know, for players, for coaches and uh,

86
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 1: for him to get back here around family, you know, friends,

87
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 1: and and uh has been has been good for him,

88
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:49,159
Speaker 1: and you know, I think he's embraced it, you know,

89
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 1: since he's been here. You Mike go, Uh was the

90
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,919
Speaker 1: search for a new DC Is it like a blank

91
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,679
Speaker 1: canvas for you? Or did you kind of have Ryan

92
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 1: and my It was kind of both. You know, it

93
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:10,280
Speaker 1: was a blank canvas from the standpoint of you know

94
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 1: how you know, obviously knowing the defensive personnel and and

95
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 1: you know, the way I think the way the league

96
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 1: has We're spending so much time with Ford. You can

97
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 1: call yourself a base three four defense, but you're really

98
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 1: a you know, a four down front because of the

99
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 1: so much you know, Nickel offense and Nickel defense. That's

100
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 1: that's on the field. And and so for me, it

101
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 1: was finding the right fit, the right person. You know,

102
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:43,040
Speaker 1: Ryan was in Atlanta and and you know, unfortunately Arthur

103
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 1: Smith was let go and and so he was he

104
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 1: was a candidate that was available and and definitely had

105
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:52,840
Speaker 1: peaked my interest based on you know, his career where

106
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:55,280
Speaker 1: he had been who had worked with and four and

107
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 1: coach Peyton in New Orleans and coaching the D line

108
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 1: and you know, we feel like that's a rank of ours,

109
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:04,599
Speaker 1: you know obviously here and so he was somebody that

110
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:07,600
Speaker 1: wanted to talk to. Okay, So was it about the

111
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:10,479
Speaker 1: scheme that he might bring or is it just the

112
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:13,920
Speaker 1: idea that he might bring out whatever potential you had

113
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:15,720
Speaker 1: on your roster. He was going to bring it out

114
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 1: both both because if you look at where he was

115
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:20,160
Speaker 1: in New Orleans and the title, the the where they

116
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 1: ranked defensively when he was there, and then when you

117
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 1: look at what he did in Atlanta, the quick turnaround

118
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 1: defensively he did in Atlanta. Yeah, then you say, scheme right,

119
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 1: But your scheme only works if you got the right

120
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:36,000
Speaker 1: guys right and you got the right players. And I

121
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 1: think that was also enticing for Ryan to come here

122
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 1: to Jacksonville as well because of the type of players

123
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:45,599
Speaker 1: that we had that would fit his scheme. I know,

124
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:48,280
Speaker 1: Ryan last week wouldn't really comment on some of the

125
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:50,719
Speaker 1: younger guys, especially on the secondary because he said he's

126
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 1: trying them at that nickel spot on the outside. Like

127
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:56,280
Speaker 1: you said, you knew the personnel here and you felt

128
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 1: there was a match particularly, you know, was it the

129
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:02,840
Speaker 1: fact that he runs more dime, more quarters? Was it

130
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 1: because you have young guys like Antonio Johnson, you know,

131
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:08,480
Speaker 1: the Christian braswell Buster Browns of the world. Was there

132
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 1: like a specific point of emphasis that you said, this

133
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 1: is a match you know, obviously you know youth helps,

134
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 1: but I think the fact that when you when you,

135
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 1: when I talked to Ryan, and when I talked to

136
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 1: and interviewed all the different candidates, that we did the

137
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:29,240
Speaker 1: development right, the development of our of our roster and

138
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 1: everybody on the roster was something that was intriguing to me,

139
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 1: you know, And that's that's something that we needed to

140
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 1: we needed to address, we needed to fix. And that's

141
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 1: not just on that side of the ball. It's it's

142
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 1: offense as well. And so I think listening to these candidates,

143
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 1: you know, these coordinators talk about the development and what

144
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 1: they do, what they can do with young players and

145
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 1: how they can get them to perform again, is very

146
00:07:55,480 --> 00:08:00,120
Speaker 1: intriguing and very sort of the align the alignment for me,

147
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 1: and and it's no different than you know, myself being

148
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:07,560
Speaker 1: able to develop quarterbacks, being around quarterbacks and and things

149
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 1: of that nature. So that part of it, I think

150
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 1: the development aspect of it was the biggest, the biggest

151
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 1: key for me, you actually talked to by the way

152
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:22,760
Speaker 1: from aspect, I mean, it was it eight or six

153
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 1: or eight, you know, something like that. Don't quote me

154
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 1: on that. At least a half dozen let's call it

155
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 1: half a dozen the bakers and what he went through

156
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 1: last year where you have seen the most role not

157
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:41,960
Speaker 1: necessarily like physical. Yeah, no, physical we know about we

158
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:45,480
Speaker 1: gotta we gotta keep him healthy. But you know, mentally,

159
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 1: I think the number one. I think the way he

160
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:51,560
Speaker 1: leads this football team. You know, he's becoming, uh, the

161
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:54,640
Speaker 1: vocal leader in the locker room, on the field, in meetings,

162
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:59,840
Speaker 1: he's engaging. You know, when we got him three years ago,

163
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:02,959
Speaker 1: he was just learning our system and kind of quiet

164
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:06,200
Speaker 1: and just trying to go through you know, uh themotions,

165
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 1: a little bit of of just trying to adapt to

166
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:11,680
Speaker 1: us and get a feel for us. But now he's now,

167
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:15,319
Speaker 1: he's engaging. Now he's given us ideas. Now he's given

168
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:19,440
Speaker 1: us suggestions and ideas and and and really becoming another

169
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:23,080
Speaker 1: you know, a coach, a set of eyes you know,

170
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:25,840
Speaker 1: on the field and that and that's that's just his growth,

171
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 1: that's just his development as quarterback and and and not

172
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 1: changing a lot, you know, schematically and and keep you know,

173
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 1: repetition goes a long way, and and utilizing that repetition

174
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:40,600
Speaker 1: to benefit you know, your football team. And that's where

175
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:43,440
Speaker 1: that's where Trevor's really taken. I think the next step,

176
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 1: you know, for us now it's got to translate on

177
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 1: the field, right and into wins and losses and in

178
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 1: touchdowns versus i's and stuff like that. But that's where

179
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:54,960
Speaker 1: I've seen the biggest growth I think in the in

180
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:58,559
Speaker 1: the few years that we've been together. Take is he

181
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:00,679
Speaker 1: behind stand all that and what you hoped or what

182
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 1: it normally takes? No, I mean, look, it's I learned

183
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:06,439
Speaker 1: this back when I went to Green Bay as a

184
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 1: player under Mike Hongrin. He always he always taught us

185
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 1: you know that it takes three to four years. It

186
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 1: takes that time to develop into into the quarterback that

187
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 1: you you want to become or you you want for

188
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 1: your team. And it's just not an it's not an overnight,

189
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 1: overnight deal. It's not a plug and play deal. You know.

190
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 1: And and some teams, you know, some guys are going

191
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:34,079
Speaker 1: to have success, but but there is that just understanding

192
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 1: the game and learning the game and studying the game

193
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 1: and and and so you know, for Trevor, he's now

194
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 1: into that third year with us, and and so that

195
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 1: that part, I think for us, that's the encouraging part

196
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:49,839
Speaker 1: as an offensive staff, especially myself just just now going

197
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 1: into that third year and this is the this is

198
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:54,840
Speaker 1: kind of that jump year that that he can have,

199
00:10:55,720 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 1: you know, moving forward to what extent has a a

200
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:03,680
Speaker 1: kicking competition? What are you able to do between Cam

201
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 1: and Riley and kind of where does that stand right now? Yeah,

202
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 1: I mean, I y you we're giving him equal opportunity,

203
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 1: you know, on the field, each one you know, Uh,

204
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:15,680
Speaker 1: when we have kicking days, they're getting equal equal shots,

205
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:19,439
Speaker 1: whether it's the field goals or kickoffs, things of that nature. Again,

206
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 1: it's it's it's yes, it's competition, but at the same time,

207
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 1: you know, we're getting everybody some work and seeing you know,

208
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:30,200
Speaker 1: seeing where they where they are. Both guys have done

209
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 1: a great job, you know Cam Cam obviously is still

210
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:35,560
Speaker 1: you know, we're still learning him and what he can do.

211
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:38,120
Speaker 1: But but he's he's got some leg talent and so

212
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 1: does Riley and uh, it's it'll be interesting once we

213
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 1: get into camp to see where it's where it plays out.

214
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:45,600
Speaker 1: And is still kind of have the accuracy that he

215
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:51,199
Speaker 1: always has at this point it happens accuracy, Yeah, does

216
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:53,560
Speaker 1: he look he looks great? Yeah, I mean he looks good.

217
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 1: You know, he's he's making all I mean, they make some,

218
00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:00,360
Speaker 1: they miss some, you know, not so worried about in May,

219
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 1: but in September and October becomes an issue. But yeah,

220
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 1: he's doing a nice job. Good. Where do you see

221
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:10,840
Speaker 1: them if you as the coaches at it, but you

222
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:13,560
Speaker 1: see more of the line decision making, was the play

223
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 1: stars and everything. It's kind of all of it. Decision making,

224
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:20,599
Speaker 1: balls coming out of his hand, faster, quicker decisions, you know,

225
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 1: all that part of it. Accuracy, the timing, things of

226
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:27,440
Speaker 1: that nature, you know. D and and again just the

227
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 1: dialogue we're having out there as as maybe CJ and

228
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 1: Mack are taking their rep. You know, he's back there

229
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:36,440
Speaker 1: talking to myself or Press Mike and just always engaging,

230
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:38,240
Speaker 1: you know. And that's that's what you want to see

231
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:40,559
Speaker 1: out of out of your own quarterback. Where the NFLPA

232
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 1: is proposed tweaking OTA's as early as next year, changing

233
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 1: getting rid of some of the spring stuff, and expanding

234
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:49,319
Speaker 1: training camp. Would you be can you see pros and

235
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:52,920
Speaker 1: cons of that. Would you in favor of that? Yeah,

236
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 1: I just to see how in the direction they wanna

237
00:12:56,800 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 1: they wanna go. You know, the off season is great

238
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 1: to kind of build a foundation, you know, and really

239
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:07,559
Speaker 1: see your young players. And it goes back to the

240
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 1: developmental piece, you know, of your young guys, and this

241
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:12,280
Speaker 1: is where this is the time where you want to

242
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 1: start that foundation. You know, the players probably wouldn't like

243
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:22,240
Speaker 1: training camp, you know, being extended, but it's long. It's

244
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 1: long enough as it is, you know. But look, anything

245
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:31,080
Speaker 1: that we do, if it helps the game, and if

246
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 1: it helps better the game, and it's moving the game forward,

247
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:46,600
Speaker 1: I'm all for that forward. For the fans. For the players, well,

248
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:51,200
Speaker 1: I mean it's more exposure, it's more opportunities. You know,

249
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 1: there's there's more money, you know, and so yeah, I

250
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:57,199
Speaker 1: mean I think that's it's moving it forward. I think

251
00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 1: there would be some a lot of dialogue around that,

252
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 1: but it definitely definitely headed in the right direction. Don't

253
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:05,199
Speaker 1: give your time for a couple of months you're working.

254
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:07,559
Speaker 1: Gave Davis back a little bit, but do you expect

255
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:09,640
Speaker 1: to see him out a little more the next three

256
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:12,240
Speaker 1: weeks or you're gonna hold him off until training camp. Yeah,

257
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 1: we're gonna we're gonna go slow with him. You know,

258
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:16,360
Speaker 1: he worked in last week, He's gonna work in some

259
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 1: more today. Just kind of keeping him out of the

260
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:22,200
Speaker 1: team stuff at this at this juncture, just I just

261
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 1: don't want to get tangled up or you know, something

262
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 1: to happen out there. But it's a lot of the

263
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:28,840
Speaker 1: individual stuff. You know, he's getting a lot of work

264
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:31,880
Speaker 1: with Trevor right now, which is good. So we're just

265
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:35,120
Speaker 1: gonna go go slow with that one, Eric and then

266
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 1: also I know Roy was also working on Yes, Yeah,

267
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 1: they're working off to the side. Just don't want any setbacks.

268
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 1: It's early, and you know, these are veteran guys that

269
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:47,920
Speaker 1: know how to play, know how to work. Other than

270
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:51,040
Speaker 1: you know, probably Gabe getting some timing with with Trevor.

271
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 1: You know, we're just gonna pump the brakes. And boy

272
00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 1: had the non contact penny on last week. Was that

273
00:14:56,720 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 1: from something during the off season in his wrist? You know,

274
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 1: he had the off season deal with his wrist. So yeah,

275
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:06,400
Speaker 1: what would you like to see from tank fixty into

276
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 1: his uh second year? How would you like him to

277
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 1: evolve his running back now? Got it in. I'll tell

278
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:17,560
Speaker 1: you this, Tank's done a great job going into your two.

279
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 1: You know, Tanks a smart player, you know, I think

280
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:23,200
Speaker 1: I think for him now is just understanding what he

281
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:25,280
Speaker 1: is seeing and particularly in the run game, you know,

282
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 1: anticipating where the hole is going to be. Maybe anticipating,

283
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 1: you know, because it's like a movie screen, right and

284
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:33,600
Speaker 1: that movie screen is constantly moving and it's changing, and

285
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:35,320
Speaker 1: and so for him it's been able to see that

286
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:38,960
Speaker 1: and react and then again you know, kick off return

287
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 1: getting it back that you saw late in the season

288
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:42,320
Speaker 1: last year, we had him back there on some returns

289
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:45,000
Speaker 1: and he did a nice job there. And keep keep

290
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:48,760
Speaker 1: that growth and development going with him. But he's he's

291
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:51,520
Speaker 1: done a really nice job. He's a he's a hard worker.

292
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 1: He practices extremely fast, which I love, and you know,

293
00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:57,720
Speaker 1: eager to get get the pads on and see what

294
00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:03,520
Speaker 1: he can do. It's on the guardian caps and the

295
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:06,360
Speaker 1: push or safety in that regard. I think the guardian

296
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:09,960
Speaker 1: caps are a good addition, especially in training camp when

297
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:13,040
Speaker 1: we're in pads. It does protect against you know, the

298
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 1: head concussions and things like that and has reduced you know,

299
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 1: some of those some of those injuries, you know, obviously,

300
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 1: you know, proposing that that they can use them in

301
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 1: games and and things of that nature. I think it's

302
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:26,480
Speaker 1: it's a player preference at that point. I don't know,

303
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:29,400
Speaker 1: you know, what that would necessarily look like on a

304
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:32,520
Speaker 1: player in game. But look, it's it's all about player safety.

305
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 1: And that's one thing that the league has been big on,
