1
00:00:01,680 --> 00:00:06,119
Speaker 1: Medically. Two new additions to the list of Dak Prescott

2
00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:09,600
Speaker 1: will be just limited the drills today and Tyrann Smith

3
00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:13,960
Speaker 1: will not practice. He's got some elbow tend a night

4
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:17,400
Speaker 1: as we're dealing with song or he's dealing with with that.

5
00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:22,200
Speaker 1: David started, Can you talk, well, the organization has no

6
00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:26,000
Speaker 1: long term concerns with Dad, Can you just talk about

7
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:28,760
Speaker 1: when you have an arm injury that early in camp

8
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:31,800
Speaker 1: at the quarterback, how you manage it every single go

9
00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:34,639
Speaker 1: slower rather than two week as far as getting him

10
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:36,800
Speaker 1: in and just just how you're looking at managing him

11
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:39,519
Speaker 1: over these next week to two weeks. Well, I think

12
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:44,080
Speaker 1: it's like anything. I mean, you know, when you it's

13
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 1: good that you can catch a fatigue injury early. So

14
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:49,800
Speaker 1: I think this is more staying in front of what

15
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 1: he has. So it's like anything in this game. When

16
00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 1: you know one player doesn't practice, it's an opportunity for others.

17
00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:00,400
Speaker 1: So it's a it's a really good opportunity for Garrett,

18
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 1: Benn and Cooper. So um, that's that's a big picture

19
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:07,120
Speaker 1: part of it for the quarterbacks. But you know Dac

20
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:09,200
Speaker 1: will still do all the drill work and you know

21
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:11,040
Speaker 1: he'll be able to do the mock games. And uh,

22
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 1: it's but we're just we're just really going to cut

23
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 1: out the throwing here for probably a few days. Assume

24
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 1: you anticipate he could resume growing a few days, two,

25
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:28,399
Speaker 1: three days, a couple of days days. I'm trying to

26
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 1: buy a little flexibility there. So give it to me, please.

27
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 1: What he did he throw too much leading up to can?

28
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:38,560
Speaker 1: Did he throw too much the first few days to CAN?

29
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not a doctor. I get to talk

30
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 1: about this stuff a lot. You know, I think it

31
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:46,040
Speaker 1: could be. You know, I think when you have a

32
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 1: fatigue injury, you can you can overanalyze it. But uh,

33
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 1: you know, based on the location, the information that I have,

34
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 1: it it's you know, it's not of high concern. And um,

35
00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 1: I think it's I think as it was smart that

36
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 1: he pulled up when he did. Howld you just drive

37
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 1: his mindset because he's coming back obviously from the angle injury.

38
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 1: How do you think he was he down when he

39
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 1: when he had to tell you that I got this thing?

40
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 1: Oh definitely. I mean he didn't want to lose her.

41
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 1: He didn't want to leave the practice field. But you know,

42
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:13,520
Speaker 1: I thought it was just important to get you know,

43
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 1: get him in there and find out exactly what it

44
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:19,520
Speaker 1: was and um, you know, have the scan and just

45
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:22,799
Speaker 1: to be smart. But no, it's his birthday to day,

46
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 1: so uh, I think it'll be okay. You talked about

47
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:29,919
Speaker 1: the comments of them back and forth based gout brought

48
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 1: them a couple better than working and I didn't sign them,

49
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:34,839
Speaker 1: but they still have the two starts to two. Yeah,

50
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 1: no doubt. It's a young group, but I think it's

51
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 1: like anything. These guys have been this our second year

52
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 1: working with him, so obviously there's a there's a you know,

53
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 1: a confidence that we have in the group and and frankly, uh,

54
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 1: the opportunity they have to get these live full team

55
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:53,520
Speaker 1: reps will will be a benefit and not only to them,

56
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 1: but it'll be I've been to us to see them

57
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:59,359
Speaker 1: work and run the offense and particularly you know, we're

58
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:02,919
Speaker 1: still you know, heavy into the situation work. So there'll

59
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 1: be a bunch of new things that that will happen

60
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:06,959
Speaker 1: today for for everybody, and this will this will be

61
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 1: a great experience for those guys if you make of

62
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 1: the first full practice in terms of backup quarterbacks without

63
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 1: Dak yesterday, the five interceptions over there all five interceptions.

64
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 1: I mean, that's never a good day. I mean it's

65
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 1: you know, I have to be half fifty percent happy

66
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 1: for the defense. But yeah, I mean quarterbacks, you know

67
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 1: you don't want to see that. So it's you know,

68
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 1: you go through the decision making why they happen and um,

69
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:31,359
Speaker 1: so it's it's it's a learning experience. I think negative

70
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 1: experiences as far as results, are great opportunities to learn from.

71
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 1: I think we need to make sure we do that

72
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 1: as a football team. I think one of the growing

73
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 1: focuses for our team. I thought last year when we

74
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 1: when we did have the valleys, we stayed in them

75
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 1: too long. So I'm looking for quicker, higher responses when

76
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 1: we hit adverse situations. So I think today will be

77
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 1: a great experience for our offense to bounce back last year.

78
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 1: Beyond it's her game that made you comfortable coming into

79
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 1: this camp with him, is the backup. Well, you know

80
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 1: one thing about you know Garrett, and I think you know,

81
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 1: like most of these guys, you know, Benda News, you

82
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 1: start playing quarterback probably later in life compared to you know,

83
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 1: Cooper and Garrett, Garretts played a lot of football. I

84
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:19,840
Speaker 1: mean he's Uh, Garrett and Cooper or coach Smart, they

85
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 1: have great understanding of what's going on. I mean, Cooper

86
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 1: made a check in and protection yesterday. That's you know,

87
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 1: something that you would see more in the game plan,

88
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 1: um environment and during during a regular season game, and

89
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:35,039
Speaker 1: particularly seeing a new disguise from the defense and the

90
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 1: way he did it at the line of scrimmage. You know,

91
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 1: it's it's those are the little things that that you're

92
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,279
Speaker 1: very impressed with it. You know, that's not you know,

93
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 1: seen by the common eye. So, uh, these guys have

94
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 1: great football minds. You know, that's definitely a big part

95
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 1: of why we have confidence in them. So, you know,

96
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 1: quarterback reps are so hard to come by, but you know,

97
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:00,480
Speaker 1: I think these guys are what you're looking for because

98
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 1: you know, your backup player, backup quarterback particularly, they just

99
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:05,479
Speaker 1: don't get a lot of reps. You know, they don't

100
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:09,159
Speaker 1: get a lot of team team up opportunities. So you

101
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 1: know this this will be good for those guys. Right, Um,

102
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 1: what do your jobs do you see Kelen and Doug

103
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 1: and how they've worked with those guys, do you see

104
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:21,719
Speaker 1: some value in the back end they met in that

105
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:25,279
Speaker 1: position being the backup for Kinding to know what it's

106
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 1: like as women to comportunities and mental ends. Definitely, I

107
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 1: think the fact that they do have experienced playing the position,

108
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 1: I think it's definitely an asset. But I think when

109
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,159
Speaker 1: I look at the design of the quarterback room, I

110
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 1: think the personalities the background is plays a big part

111
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 1: into that. You know, Scott Tolzie's another young man that

112
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 1: gives you know, excellent insights. So it's a very very

113
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 1: good room as far as how how it all comes together.

114
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:55,720
Speaker 1: So um, I love. I love the way those guys

115
00:05:55,760 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 1: work together. It's uh, they're very efficient, very exact act.

116
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 1: But I think the quarterbacks in general definitely have a

117
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 1: comfort of you know, being there, being being coached or

118
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:11,280
Speaker 1: being around people that have been there before. Changes about

119
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 1: Dak playing in the preseason, you guys, you said last

120
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 1: week that was pretty important that you got some work

121
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:19,480
Speaker 1: in the Yeah, I'm based on what Jim has told

122
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:23,159
Speaker 1: me in the medical report yesterday, I don't I don't

123
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 1: see us getting away from our you know, our preliminary plan.

124
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:30,600
Speaker 1: Was there an emphasis already ahead of this injury to

125
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:33,800
Speaker 1: Dad to make sure that backup's got more reps. Given

126
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 1: what happened last season going through four qbs back at

127
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 1: quarterbacks experience that year definitely, But I think like every

128
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:46,840
Speaker 1: every team, every head coach is going through it. I mean,

129
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 1: we're we're on more of a scripted training camp regiment

130
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 1: than ever before. I think the eleven hour work day

131
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 1: for the veterans is you know, it's I would I

132
00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:00,160
Speaker 1: would think the schedules are probably very similar if you

133
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:02,719
Speaker 1: went around the league as far as the amount of

134
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 1: work that that you that you can do. So I

135
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 1: mean the walk throughs, you know, I don't know if

136
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 1: we could walk through more than we are right now.

137
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 1: I feel our plan and efficiency of how we're able

138
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 1: to interact with the players and try to show them

139
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 1: as many different looks. I think we're definitely hitting a

140
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 1: target there. Uh from what from what I'm looking for?

141
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 1: But yeah, I know, but let's not forget you know Dak.

142
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 1: You know, Dak's coming back off a major injury too,

143
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 1: so that that's part of it. You have to you

144
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:33,679
Speaker 1: have to get your starter ready and that just doesn't

145
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 1: always mean you know, the reps that he needs. It's

146
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 1: you know, because frankly, a big focus each and every

147
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 1: year is to get the cadence, that the timing, the rhythm.

148
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 1: You got offensive linement that didn't play last year too,

149
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 1: So all that has to come together. So uh, everything,

150
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 1: all those things are factored into who gets reps and

151
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 1: how many and they get and Michael Gallant down there

152
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 1: anywhell definitely, Hey, when players miss practice, it's not a

153
00:07:57,760 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 1: it's not a it's not a good thing. I mean,

154
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 1: it's that's why we practice. You know, just look at

155
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 1: the statistical data behind consecutive starts by an offensive line.

156
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 1: I mean, when your offensive line, you know, lines up

157
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 1: and plays sixteen weeks, you know, your percentage of winning

158
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 1: goes way up. I mean there's I mean, there's all

159
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 1: kinds of data that supports the importance of guys playing

160
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 1: as many games together as possible. So health is a

161
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 1: big part of this. Is there any thought that Dak

162
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 1: may have hurt himself compensating a bit for the injury

163
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 1: and there needs to be a mechanical adjustment when he's through.

164
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:33,679
Speaker 1: I don't think so. I think Dak is not only

165
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:37,720
Speaker 1: has very good fundamental training and as far as his regiment,

166
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 1: you know, but both you know, within our organization and

167
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:44,199
Speaker 1: and and who you know, what he does outside of

168
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 1: his time at the Star. But yeah, I don't I

169
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:50,439
Speaker 1: don't see this injury tied to his this current injury

170
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:52,560
Speaker 1: tied the last year's injury. Have you thought of what

171
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:55,840
Speaker 1: you've seen a steal and Secky so far in the

172
00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 1: ball a little bit that he's working team, you know,

173
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 1: Steal number one, I think is uh definitely a great

174
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 1: example of a player taking a second year jump. I

175
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 1: mean he's uh, you know what he's done in the

176
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 1: weight room, you know, just what he's done with his

177
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:12,720
Speaker 1: you know, with his body. Uh, he's he's he's uh definitely.

178
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:15,080
Speaker 1: You know, he won an award for you know, one

179
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:18,720
Speaker 1: of the strength conditioning awards. So he's off the good start.

180
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 1: I really liked it, you know, the way he's looked

181
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:22,319
Speaker 1: so far and didn't and the two young guys are

182
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:24,960
Speaker 1: just you know, they're just getting started. So what about

183
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:28,200
Speaker 1: it in a second, he's been around a while, Yeah, yeah,

184
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 1: always fitting in. Um, yeah, he's I think he's just

185
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:34,080
Speaker 1: getting just knocking off the you know, knocking off some

186
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 1: rust and really just getting used to the language. I mean,

187
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:40,520
Speaker 1: it's it's just a it's a language transition for die. Mike.

188
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:43,840
Speaker 1: You talked about the offenses, nissed assignments and mental errors

189
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:45,560
Speaker 1: a couple of days ago, and we asked Alden Hilts

190
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:47,960
Speaker 1: about that. He gave the defense credit for how they've

191
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 1: been disguising their coverages. And you talk about how you've

192
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 1: seen that from the defense has a different at off

193
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 1: from what you were seeing them from them in practice

194
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 1: last year. Well, we didn't have this last year, you know,

195
00:09:57,600 --> 00:09:59,679
Speaker 1: at this level. So I mean, I I don't think

196
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 1: it's you know, that's not a comparable that I don't

197
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:06,679
Speaker 1: really use. So, but disguise has definitely been as a

198
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 1: you know, you know, the progression of how we're doing it,

199
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:12,959
Speaker 1: the common disguises of you know, the man's and zones

200
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,080
Speaker 1: of pressures and the and the man you know, the

201
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 1: pressures looking like the man, covers and all that. So,

202
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 1: uh Dan and the staff they put together an excellent staff.

203
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:23,720
Speaker 1: But you can see the players are really comfortable with it.

204
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 1: It's just like anything, when you have success, the confidence

205
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 1: builds and and it's it's and it's great for our

206
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 1: defense because their confidence that they put together two very

207
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 1: productive practices here, and you know it's good just to

208
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 1: be good for defense. Not going to respond to that,

209
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 1: but this is great for our quarterbacks and our protection unit.

210
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:43,960
Speaker 1: We'll go, we'll go get all of the snaps that

211
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 1: that normally would or do you want to try to

212
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 1: work a few in with the other little bit close?

213
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 1: I mean, but no, we need to get Ben in there.

214
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 1: We need to get Cooper going Cooper. Cooper missed a

215
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 1: couple of days, So get those guys in there. Kelvin, Kelvin, Joseph.

216
00:10:57,720 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 1: It seem to be a little bit limited. Every different

217
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 1: there an there. I mean, just you know rep reps.

218
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 1: You know, reps are that are distributed. You know, number one,

219
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:10,080
Speaker 1: you got some surprise situation. You're gonna have a surprise

220
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:13,080
Speaker 1: situation in the in the in the practice today that

221
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 1: the code no one's even had a chance to plan for.

222
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 1: So that that just like we did yesterday. So you know,

223
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 1: those reps just kind of go based on who's in

224
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:23,959
Speaker 1: there and the person at the personnel groups. So that's

225
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 1: why you'll see some fluctuation, uh players GPS scores, you know,

226
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 1: So reps are more about not just like hey we

227
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 1: think this guy's doing better or not, just there's a

228
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:35,200
Speaker 1: lot more going into that. So, uh, we we go

229
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 1: through the day to at night and Um, we distributed

230
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:41,120
Speaker 1: them because this is a long season and we need everybody.

231
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 1: This is a long training camp. So, uh that that

232
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 1: that affects the GPS scores, affects some of the guys

233
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:48,680
Speaker 1: reps because we had some guys that are really high yesterday.

234
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:52,959
Speaker 1: It's doing good, it's doing good. He definitely fits in.

235
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:56,199
Speaker 1: He's you know, I'd love his competitive nature. But for

236
00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:57,880
Speaker 1: a young guy, it's not too big for him, that's

237
00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:03,319
Speaker 1: for sure. Uh, He's no, he's coming, he's coming on.

238
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:05,960
Speaker 1: I just think him for where he's come from with

239
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 1: you know, the injury. Um, you know, trying to adapt

240
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:13,040
Speaker 1: to you know, this this environment. We're gonna bring him

241
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 1: along slow. He's talking about with the reasons for all

242
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:20,719
Speaker 1: the fluctuations the personnel, how do you balance doing that

243
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:23,319
Speaker 1: with you know, your earlier point about the offensive line

244
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 1: having continuity and giving guys a chance to work with

245
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:29,199
Speaker 1: the same defenses. Well, the health of the player is

246
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:31,160
Speaker 1: number one. I mean, that's that's the priority. I mean,

247
00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:33,479
Speaker 1: because you know, at the end of the day, availability

248
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:37,080
Speaker 1: is is is what we need. So if if there's

249
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 1: a question, I mean Tian Tyrant Smith's a perfect example.

250
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 1: I mean, so there's if you have something that comes up,

251
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:45,600
Speaker 1: you gotta you put that to the front of the line.

252
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 1: So that's that's the starting point. And then you know,

253
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 1: we're just trying to get as many different combinations as possible,

254
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:53,240
Speaker 1: starting with the groups that we're trying to build off

255
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 1: a particularly you know, whether it's eleven twelve personnel, and

256
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 1: you'll see us starting to get into some sure guards

257
00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:00,120
Speaker 1: and goal line for a minute, backed up offensive, so

258
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:02,600
Speaker 1: you'll see some two backsets and you know, a little

259
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 1: more phone booth type football coming. So you know that

260
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 1: that'll all be person personnel driven. Gallup boyd uh Jordan

261
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 1: les to come back today when Jordan Jordan may have

262
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 1: a chance limited, Mike Michael is still limited, So I'll

263
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 1: check on those guys after the walkthrough. Here. What's your

264
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:23,719
Speaker 1: view on Zeke's workload after five years and what that

265
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:28,959
Speaker 1: means for running backs these days? Well, I think you

266
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:31,079
Speaker 1: know a disappoint that you've got to be conscientious of.

267
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:33,360
Speaker 1: It is. You know, when you look at a player

268
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:37,360
Speaker 1: like Zeke, you know, because of what he's done at

269
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:39,320
Speaker 1: the level, you know, the volume that he's done early

270
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 1: in this year, you know, it's I think you have

271
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 1: to be cognizant of the you know, the long long road.

272
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:50,040
Speaker 1: I mean it's I've always viewed training camp and particularly

273
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:53,440
Speaker 1: early season football. Um. Now, you know, the last place

274
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:55,679
Speaker 1: I work, we were we were very young, you know,

275
00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:58,839
Speaker 1: because of our personnel philosophy, so there is always a

276
00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 1: you know a gap between our younger players and older players.

277
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 1: So we've played young players early all the time, and

278
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:07,960
Speaker 1: you know as a coach that that takes a while

279
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:09,920
Speaker 1: to get used to that. But the point I'm making is,

280
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:13,880
Speaker 1: you know, by November December, those young guys were able

281
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:17,199
Speaker 1: to contribute. So you know, we got Tony Pollard, you know,

282
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:20,640
Speaker 1: Rico's looked really good, Shaywo is off to a good camp.

283
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:24,000
Speaker 1: So you have some younger guys that can that can,

284
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:26,640
Speaker 1: that can play and produce. So you know, it's not

285
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:29,400
Speaker 1: necessary for for Zeke to run the ball twenty five

286
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 1: times thirty times a game, because you know, the most

287
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:34,520
Speaker 1: important thing is when you get into December January football,

288
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 1: you know you want him to be at in top

289
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 1: form to be able to run the ball twenty five

290
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 1: thirty times if needed. So that that's that's the way

291
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:46,040
Speaker 1: I've always viewed it, particularly at that position. Well, you

292
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 1: mentioned or last year there where there's no true fullbacks

293
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:52,000
Speaker 1: as Rosenberry titangs and had to kind of fuil that role.

294
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 1: Is that something that open coaching staff, where there's possibility

295
00:14:57,520 --> 00:15:00,440
Speaker 1: for a fullback and truth full back numbers roster? How

296
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 1: do you do that position to definitely? I you know,

297
00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:05,480
Speaker 1: just in simple simple terms, I mean you have you

298
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 1: have one back offense, two back offense. You have zero

299
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:11,800
Speaker 1: no backs, zero empty empty offense. So your two back

300
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:16,680
Speaker 1: schemes are definitely if the last couple of years have increased.

301
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 1: I mean it's you know, it's the roles and then

302
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:21,440
Speaker 1: in the way the game's being played so much more

303
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 1: wide open. So but with that, the two back run

304
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:28,080
Speaker 1: game is is coming back in. You'll see it the

305
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:30,560
Speaker 1: next couple of practices because of what I've already said

306
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 1: with the shortguards goal one backed up for a minute.

307
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:36,280
Speaker 1: So we do have a little more two back offense

308
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:40,800
Speaker 1: in in our in our scheme this year compared to

309
00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:43,360
Speaker 1: last year. So uh, in the on the flip side

310
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 1: of it, our defense needs it, you know, because we're

311
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:47,320
Speaker 1: gonna we're gonna see it more than than we've seen it.

312
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 1: So I mean base defense five or six years, five

313
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:53,640
Speaker 1: or six years ago, it is probably fifteen seventeen percent.

314
00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:55,520
Speaker 1: I mean the team's eye coach, you know, now it's

315
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:58,240
Speaker 1: you know, it's pushing twenty five maybe thirty percent. So

316
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:02,240
Speaker 1: you got to be cognizant of those trends, and we

317
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:04,720
Speaker 1: are because this is you know, it's time, you're Dan

318
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 1: needs to see the two back stuff. So, um, but

319
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:08,440
Speaker 1: with that, we need to do a little more of

320
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:09,720
Speaker 1: it because you know, you need to line up and

321
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 1: run the ball when you want to run the ball,

322
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 1: no matter what they're into. So we need to have

323
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:15,040
Speaker 1: some more of that. We don't want to be where

324
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 1: we're checking it all the time and just playing exclusively

325
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:24,720
Speaker 1: one back offense from a year ago sort better. Well,

326
00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:27,680
Speaker 1: I'll tell you he's uh, you know last year. Um,

327
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:30,280
Speaker 1: I just think with everything going on, he wasn't in

328
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:33,160
Speaker 1: NFL shape, you know, Number one. I think it took

329
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 1: him a while to get accustomed to, you know, the

330
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:39,760
Speaker 1: conditioning of all this. And I think he's like a

331
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 1: lot of younger guys, he kind of feels his way.

332
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:43,440
Speaker 1: It was filling his way around. But you know, I

333
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 1: think you know, you saw him the middle season, you know,

334
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:48,960
Speaker 1: had the opportunity with the kickoff return. Uh So, I

335
00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:51,120
Speaker 1: mean he has a lot of natural run instinct that

336
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:53,800
Speaker 1: we you know, we've been impressed with. And I think

337
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:56,200
Speaker 1: when he got out here, just from day one, he

338
00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:58,320
Speaker 1: could see in the OTAs frankly that he's you know,

339
00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:00,680
Speaker 1: he's he's he's one of those guys. It's taking that

340
00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:04,119
Speaker 1: second year jump and it's more mature. But um, I

341
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:06,440
Speaker 1: think he's having a nice camp. And you plan for

342
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:11,440
Speaker 1: Jack's birthday get off that's top secret, Michael. Well, you

343
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:13,800
Speaker 1: have John Foster run another Jeopardy game this training camp

344
00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:15,520
Speaker 1: and it's so how does that factor into your team

345
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:17,680
Speaker 1: come round? Well, I mean we'll have a group not

346
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:20,959
Speaker 1: dynamic event and Jeopardy was popular, so we'll see all

347
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:24,399
Speaker 1: that sorts out. Yea with short ards and goal on

348
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 1: is it you guys? Do you go live? Is that

349
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:28,920
Speaker 1: something that has to almost has to or you No, No,

350
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:31,800
Speaker 1: we won't go live. It's uh, you know, I've done

351
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 1: it both ways. You know, I think I think you

352
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:37,359
Speaker 1: can get done with you you know, it'll it'll be

353
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:40,639
Speaker 1: like a normal team period, just the emphasis period. I

354
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:45,480
Speaker 1: guess the way I would explain it. Yeah, I've been

355
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:48,720
Speaker 1: part alive in the past. What was your takeaway in

356
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:51,360
Speaker 1: terms of it not being worthwhile, well, I just think

357
00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:54,040
Speaker 1: it's like anything. You know, every practice that you put

358
00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 1: together as you assess risk injury, you know injury risk,

359
00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 1: and you know how can you make it's safer and

360
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:02,120
Speaker 1: but still you want to get you want to get

361
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:04,119
Speaker 1: things done. I mean, everybody has an opinion on it,

362
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 1: but um, it's you know, if you break it down

363
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:09,720
Speaker 1: for as many as number of times you know in

364
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:12,200
Speaker 1: the season that you're in it, I don't think it's

365
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:14,560
Speaker 1: worth coming out here and having a twenty play goal

366
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:18,560
Speaker 1: line scrimmage. That's just I don't think it's necessary are

367
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:22,399
Speaker 1: trying to do today? How big is that evaluation for you? Interer?

368
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 1: You PENSI line franctly. We're trying to get scheme. You know,

369
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:28,359
Speaker 1: it's more about getting the scheme taught that you know,

370
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:30,919
Speaker 1: practice is important. You want the competitive nature and all

371
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:33,320
Speaker 1: those things, but you know from the big picture, you

372
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:35,320
Speaker 1: know that I'm looking at it. I just want to

373
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:37,160
Speaker 1: make sure we're getting a video so we can teach

374
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:40,080
Speaker 1: off and get it corrected and make sure that you know,

375
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:43,800
Speaker 1: as we get through these installs, particularly next week, we'll

376
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:45,880
Speaker 1: just have the one practice before we go to Pittsburgh,

377
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:48,520
Speaker 1: but then you know, followed up before we go into Arizona.

378
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:50,320
Speaker 1: You know, we have a chance to clean some of

379
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:52,159
Speaker 1: these things up just to make sure we feel we

380
00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:55,280
Speaker 1: you know, we're sound and everything that we're doing. It's hard,

381
00:18:55,440 --> 00:19:00,280
Speaker 1: you still way nags just to get through the eight

382
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:02,520
Speaker 1: installs and hopefully don't have a bunch of a bunch

383
00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:05,520
Speaker 1: of things we've you know, we hope our list isn't

384
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:08,520
Speaker 1: very long of what we feel that we need more

385
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:11,720
Speaker 1: time on. So because you know, you see the defenses,

386
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:14,040
Speaker 1: they're starting to get back through their you know, through

387
00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:18,520
Speaker 1: their base calls. They had a pretty challenging uh install

388
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:21,399
Speaker 1: yesterday for the offense, and you know, so then the

389
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:24,159
Speaker 1: offense will catch up to the defense. So yeah, I

390
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:26,440
Speaker 1: just want to get through these eight installs, get everything in.

391
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:28,080
Speaker 1: You know, we had a chance to do that in

392
00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:30,760
Speaker 1: the spring and just kind of really settle in because

393
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:34,720
Speaker 1: you know, we probably won't carry every one of these calls. Defensively,

394
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:36,200
Speaker 1: you know, we've got a couple of things we're just

395
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:38,560
Speaker 1: kind of looking at the same thing with Kellen. We

396
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:43,159
Speaker 1: have some things, but any offense deceptively and you know things, uh,

397
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:45,840
Speaker 1: probably some of the action passion game that we just need.

398
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:47,760
Speaker 1: We need to get the live reps to evaluate if

399
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:51,680
Speaker 1: we want to carry it forward. Thank you,
