1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,960 Speaker 1: Through red zone drills first time in training camp today, 2 00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:04,920 Speaker 1: maybe some of the struggles you guys have, but also 3 00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:07,680 Speaker 1: maybe where he saw. Yeah, you know, the tough thing 4 00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:09,880 Speaker 1: about the red zone is obviously the field is condensed 5 00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:12,640 Speaker 1: and so, um, you know, it's hard down there, you know, 6 00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:14,840 Speaker 1: in the league and just in general, you've got to 7 00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:18,319 Speaker 1: be on point with your landmarks and your fundamentals and 8 00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:22,320 Speaker 1: be disciplined within the play call and so uh, you know, offensively, 9 00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:24,160 Speaker 1: we struggled a little bit. Um, but that's some of 10 00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:27,000 Speaker 1: the adversity that we're gonna face all training camp and 11 00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:29,560 Speaker 1: throughout the season. You know, for us, it's gonna be 12 00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:31,760 Speaker 1: great film for us to go back and watch and 13 00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:34,800 Speaker 1: just learn from today and uh, you know, move forward 14 00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:37,559 Speaker 1: and just keep going getting better that you guys had 15 00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:41,120 Speaker 1: struggles in that neck of the woods. I mean, it's 16 00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:43,440 Speaker 1: it's a fourth day of training camp. Um, you know, 17 00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:46,280 Speaker 1: it's been a longer week and uh, you know, the 18 00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:48,879 Speaker 1: defense came out with some energy today. We've had some 19 00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:51,239 Speaker 1: success on them earlier in camp, and so it's just 20 00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:54,000 Speaker 1: a high competitive, uh day of practice, especially in the 21 00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:56,160 Speaker 1: red zone, you know, because that's where touchdowns are scored, 22 00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:58,800 Speaker 1: and so guys were ramped up. So uh, you know, 23 00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:00,640 Speaker 1: I thought we handled it. I thought we handled the 24 00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:03,080 Speaker 1: university well. And um, we just kept on trucking and 25 00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:07,200 Speaker 1: we're gonna learn from it. Yeah. Is that just as 26 00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:09,920 Speaker 1: much about chemistry as it is with whatever you guys 27 00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:13,040 Speaker 1: are working on off the field. Maybe not like feel chemistry, 28 00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:14,880 Speaker 1: but like off the field chemistry. I think it's more 29 00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:17,759 Speaker 1: about off the field chemistry. That was our goal. Um, 30 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:19,960 Speaker 1: you know, and me and Trevor and Marvin some of 31 00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:23,160 Speaker 1: the vets talking about it, and um, you know, me 32 00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:25,480 Speaker 1: being in Arizona and Marvin being on you know, two 33 00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:28,920 Speaker 1: previous teams, um doing it other and other places. You know, 34 00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:30,920 Speaker 1: it's it's a big thing, you know, especially for offensive 35 00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:34,200 Speaker 1: skill guys and their quarterbacks. UM to get together and uh, 36 00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:36,280 Speaker 1: you know, get to know one another and just you know, 37 00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:38,640 Speaker 1: build that relationship because it makes it better when you 38 00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:40,920 Speaker 1: take the field and you're working hard and you have 39 00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:42,600 Speaker 1: days like this, you know where you can come to 40 00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:44,200 Speaker 1: each other and you know how to communicate and work 41 00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:48,120 Speaker 1: with one another. Dinner tabs you pick up. Uh, we 42 00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:50,320 Speaker 1: did a good job splitting all of them. I picked 43 00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:52,440 Speaker 1: up a couple of them. Make sure, uh, you know, 44 00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:56,760 Speaker 1: we everybody ate eight. Well, so it was good how 45 00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:01,520 Speaker 1: you played with you off and get scare old and 46 00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:04,120 Speaker 1: take guys that could pile being the all day maybe 47 00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:06,160 Speaker 1: could hard to let a lot of fuf. What's like 48 00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:08,600 Speaker 1: one of the things that you've taken from those guys 49 00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:10,480 Speaker 1: that you work from, those guys that knew no help 50 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:15,079 Speaker 1: having the stakehold. Yeah, I think number one is the 51 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:18,800 Speaker 1: preparation on a daily basis throughout the whole entire season 52 00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:21,880 Speaker 1: and the approach, um, you know, out on the field 53 00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:24,560 Speaker 1: on the practice field. Uh, the way those guys prepared 54 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:27,320 Speaker 1: and they competed every single day, there was no drop off. 55 00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:30,000 Speaker 1: And you know they had that same mentality that they're 56 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,440 Speaker 1: going to be the best player on the field, um, 57 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:34,480 Speaker 1: day in and day out. And uh, they were so 58 00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:36,239 Speaker 1: great to work with and be able to watch. And 59 00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:38,639 Speaker 1: it was the same thing on Sundays. Uh, you know, 60 00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:41,600 Speaker 1: once once that whistle was blown, Uh, there was no doubt, 61 00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:43,200 Speaker 1: you know in their minds that they were the best 62 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:44,680 Speaker 1: player on the field that day and they were going 63 00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 1: to go out and perform like that. And so um, 64 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:48,840 Speaker 1: those are just little things that you know, I've been 65 00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:52,280 Speaker 1: able to watch and learn from them, and you know, help. Um, 66 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:56,360 Speaker 1: you know, try to apply to my game as wells 67 00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,480 Speaker 1: many guys that have gotten to guys like that, So 68 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:04,280 Speaker 1: you feel a lot of incredibly lucky. Um. I always 69 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:07,320 Speaker 1: tell him, even telling the younger guys, and Marvin z 70 00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:09,359 Speaker 1: Will always asked me, you know what I've been able 71 00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:11,600 Speaker 1: to pick up and some of the experiences of you know, 72 00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:14,080 Speaker 1: being around them, and uh, you know, I believe I'm 73 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:15,720 Speaker 1: definitely one of the luckiest guys to be able to 74 00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:17,600 Speaker 1: play with three guys like that, and you know, I 75 00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:20,160 Speaker 1: have nothing but um love and respect, you know for 76 00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:22,519 Speaker 1: those guys because they're my big brothers and you know 77 00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:25,360 Speaker 1: they helped me ultimately.

But um, you know, 87 00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:52,960 Speaker 1: off the field, you know, we're always sitting next to 88 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:54,880 Speaker 1: each other, always hanging out, always just talking about life 89 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,080 Speaker 1: and whatnot. But it's been super easy, you know to 90 00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:59,160 Speaker 1: get along with him and just build that relationship and 91 00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:03,440 Speaker 1: you know out it too, you know, continue that to 92 00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:08,080 Speaker 1: start up the golf almost say, oh, it's definitely me. 93 00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:12,640 Speaker 1: I uh, I'm definitely a golf addict.

And I've noticed 146 00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:49,320 Speaker 1: you've been moving all around. You prefer that would you 147 00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:51,240 Speaker 1: like to be at one position in the perfect world? 148 00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:53,200 Speaker 1: Who who would you like to now? I think I 149 00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:56,800 Speaker 1: for sure, Um, you know, prefer to be moved all around, 150 00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,840 Speaker 1: you know, slotting outside and you know schematically, I know 151 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,240 Speaker 1: coaches talk about it week in a week out based 152 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:04,559 Speaker 1: on you know, what the defense does in tendencies wise, 153 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:06,960 Speaker 1: you know, kind of dictate where I'm lined out week 154 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:09,840 Speaker 1: to week. But it just adds a different um sort 155 00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:11,960 Speaker 1: of dynamic. And we have so many other guys that 156 00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:14,200 Speaker 1: do great things as well, and that's a great thing, 157 00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:16,080 Speaker 1: is uh, you know, you won't be able to key 158 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 1: on any type of tendencies that do. Coaches do a 159 00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:20,960 Speaker 1: great job of aligning us everywhere. So I feel like 160 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:22,360 Speaker 1: I'm at my best when you know, I can play 161 00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:23,920 Speaker 1: a little bit outside and inside and just kind of 162 00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:29,520 Speaker 1: get moved around. There is an I modified deep threat 163 00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:32,080 Speaker 1: on the team. How much of you guys talk about 164 00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:35,400 Speaker 1: what's not necessarily the local media says the national media 165 00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:38,320 Speaker 1: with it's not a burner. Is that something that you 166 00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:44,800 Speaker 1: guys dissess? Uh? No, it's not a thing that we discussed. 167 00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:47,360 Speaker 1: I mean, I just laugh because you know, we have 168 00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:50,400 Speaker 1: so many guys that have put um, you know, deep 169 00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:53,440 Speaker 1: throat ability on tape and I've done it. I've had 170 00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:55,800 Speaker 1: success with it, Zay has had success with it, Marvin 171 00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,600 Speaker 1: has had success with it, and so it's not something 172 00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:02,360 Speaker 1: that we pay attention to UM you know, but as receivers, 173 00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:04,600 Speaker 1: you know, we're all guys that you know, I would 174 00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:06,160 Speaker 1: like to catch the go ball, like to catch the 175 00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:08,880 Speaker 1: deep posts. And so it's definitely gonna be a point 176 00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:10,400 Speaker 1: of emphasis for us because we know we have the 177 00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:15,640 Speaker 1: guys to do it. Preparation and what he does to 178 00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:18,840 Speaker 1: be ready for each day. Yeah, I mean he comes 179 00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:20,840 Speaker 1: out here and off the bus and you know he 180 00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:23,000 Speaker 1: gets into his his warm up in his preparation and 181 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,160 Speaker 1: getting his body ready for practice. And then you know, 182 00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:26,880 Speaker 1: once we hit the field, you know he's locked in 183 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:28,880 Speaker 1: and he's making sure that we're on point with everything. 184 00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:31,240 Speaker 1: And um, you know, the the great thing about him 185 00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:33,800 Speaker 1: and what I think is important is the open line 186 00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:36,400 Speaker 1: of communication you know, between him and us receivers and 187 00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:38,880 Speaker 1: the tight ends and even his offensive line. You know, 188 00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:41,240 Speaker 1: if he sees something immediately after the play, he's coming 189 00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:42,840 Speaker 1: up to us. We're talking it through and we're making 190 00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:45,480 Speaker 1: sure we're getting it right. So that's the kind of 191 00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:46,960 Speaker 1: things that you want to see, you know from your 192 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:50,360 Speaker 1: quarterback and just having that communication and getting better for 193 00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:54,440 Speaker 1: you to see, especially from my young quarterback, you know, Um, 194 00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:58,400 Speaker 1: being able to have you know, that mindset and being 195 00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:00,719 Speaker 1: able to pick other guy's brains and to be able 196 00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:02,640 Speaker 1: to take coaching, you know, even if it's not from 197 00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:04,880 Speaker 1: a coach. You know, I may you know, say hey, 198 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:07,360 Speaker 1: you know, I see this and and I think maybe 199 00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:10,120 Speaker 1: try this and it may work. And you know he's 200 00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:12,679 Speaker 1: really open to taking that, taking that coaching and taking 201 00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,880 Speaker 1: um that that kind of reassurance, um, you know from 202 00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:17,920 Speaker 1: other guys and so to be able to have that 203 00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:23,200 Speaker 1: and that maturity is its great to see already different. 204 00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:27,559 Speaker 1: They're getting a little longer for sure. Um you know 205 00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:30,040 Speaker 1: in the mornings are getting over here. Uh, and they're 206 00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:31,640 Speaker 1: getting a little hotter on the way back. You know 207 00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:34,240 Speaker 1: that the more we get into practice. But it's honestly, 208 00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:36,280 Speaker 1: it's honestly been great. Um. You know, they made it 209 00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:38,760 Speaker 1: a smooth transition. It's a little bit of an adjustment, 210 00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:40,920 Speaker 1: but I don't think you know, anybody has has a 211 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:42,959 Speaker 1: problem with it, unless uh, you know, a bus ride 212 00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:44,760 Speaker 1: is missed. Then you know that's the only risk that 213 00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:50,040 Speaker 1: you gotta take the first buses at the practice. Oh yeah, 214 00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:52,839 Speaker 1: definitely definitely being especially if you have a workout, you know, 215 00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:55,040 Speaker 1: like defense has a workout today, so definitely won't get 216 00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:59,880 Speaker 1: on that first busy. Well, I guess the majority of 217 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,120 Speaker 1: old line takes the first wave of buses, so I'm smart. 218 00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:04,200 Speaker 1: I take the second wave and try to stay off 219 00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:08,439 Speaker 1: of that. Thanks, guys, appreciate it.
