But most importantly, 17 00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:02,880 Speaker 2: more so than his experience here, more so than his 18 00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:07,640 Speaker 2: experience in Miami or wherever, he's a leader. He's a connector, 19 00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:11,560 Speaker 2: he's a relationship builder.

You know, I started this is going 154 00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:08,240 Speaker 7: to be my eleventh year coaching, and I've pretty much 155 00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:10,960 Speaker 7: been younger than every guy in the room I've been in. 156 00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:13,440 Speaker 7: I've always been too young for every job I've ever had. 157 00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:17,240 Speaker 7: And what I've noticed is that, you know, it really 158 00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:19,880 Speaker 7: doesn't matter. Knowledge is power, and if they feel like 159 00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:21,280 Speaker 7: you can help them, and they feel like you can 160 00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:25,760 Speaker 7: help accelerate their career and our goals as a team, 161 00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:27,920 Speaker 7: guys are willing to listen. Guys are willing to be 162 00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:30,440 Speaker 7: taught and to grow and to work together, and so 163 00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:32,560 Speaker 7: it is a collaboration. I do think it gives me 164 00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:35,320 Speaker 7: a little bit of a unique advantage just in the 165 00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:38,239 Speaker 7: fact that we kind of come from the same world. 166 00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:42,520 Speaker 9: Jesse talking about the vision you have for what you 167 00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:44,600 Speaker 9: want the offense to look like, and it's best. This 168 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:48,160 Speaker 9: offense under Lamar has been one of the more elite 169 00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:50,680 Speaker 9: offices in the league. How different do you want your 170 00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:51,400 Speaker 9: offense to look? 171 00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:56,480 Speaker 7: That's a good question. So I would say this the 172 00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:58,760 Speaker 7: way we want our offense to look. The non negotiables, 173 00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:02,120 Speaker 7: or that we are physical. Okay, we're detailed, and we're explosive. 174 00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:04,080 Speaker 7: Those are the three things that are pillars that we 175 00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:06,800 Speaker 7: want to hang our hat on. I think it'd be 176 00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:09,160 Speaker 7: challenging for me to speak on what's happened here in 177 00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:11,240 Speaker 7: the past other than what's on tape that I've seen. 178 00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:15,240 Speaker 7: Certainly in twenty twenty four, this offense was, you know, 179 00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:19,040 Speaker 7: something to be reckoned with and something that we're actively 180 00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:21,800 Speaker 7: chasing to kind of get back to. But when I 181 00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:24,080 Speaker 7: talk about physicality, it's those guys in the perimeter being 182 00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:27,119 Speaker 7: willing to block, you know, our guys up front coming 183 00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:30,840 Speaker 7: off the ball and really trying to impose their will 184 00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:34,080 Speaker 7: on the defense, trying to you know, create expansion the 185 00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:37,680 Speaker 7: defense in the run game us being detailed just across 186 00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:40,520 Speaker 7: the board, whether that is, you know, in the passing game, 187 00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:43,520 Speaker 7: the route detailed, the quarterbacks footwork is eyes, all those 188 00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:46,600 Speaker 7: things or how all of our jobs fit together in 189 00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:50,200 Speaker 7: the run game. And then the explosive piece is you know, 190 00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:54,800 Speaker 7: partly players, part coaching, really chasing you know, explosive plays 191 00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:57,240 Speaker 7: in the game plan process, trying to stress defenses and 192 00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:59,720 Speaker 7: things like that. And so that's really my vision for 193 00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:02,040 Speaker 7: what the offenses and that's kind of the way. 194 00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:03,840 Speaker 6: Me and Jesse have discussed it. 195 00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:07,520 Speaker 7: And obviously that can look different ways depending on your personnel, 196 00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:11,079 Speaker 7: and we're still in the early stages of really stripping 197 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:13,400 Speaker 7: this down to the studs and then rebuilding it around 198 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:14,480 Speaker 7: the personnel that we have. 199 00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:18,160 Speaker 10: Here, is your goal that hits the ground running, I mean, 200 00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:22,120 Speaker 10: obviously that's everyone's goal, but this team is expected to 201 00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:24,600 Speaker 10: contend for a Super Bowl right away, so there's no rebuild. 202 00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:26,320 Speaker 5: I mean, there's no grazing heority, Is that. 203 00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:27,480 Speaker 10: The way you're looking at it? 204 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I think for us. We're on a 205 00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:33,880 Speaker 2: sprint as a coaching staff up until April sixth to 206 00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:35,840 Speaker 2: make sure that we're ready for the players. 207 00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:38,079 Speaker 3: And then when they get here. 208 00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:41,160 Speaker 2: It's about creating an environment that they feel great about, 209 00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:43,840 Speaker 2: that they feel like they're becoming better, that they feel 210 00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:45,760 Speaker 2: like they're improving, they feel like they're becoming the best 211 00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:46,679 Speaker 2: version of themselves. 212 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:48,240 Speaker 3: And then we certainly want to. 213 00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:51,280 Speaker 2: Have you know, we want everybody to have high expectations 214 00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:54,439 Speaker 2: from the outside. We want to build standards inside that 215 00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:56,920 Speaker 2: match what we want the results to be. And I 216 00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:59,199 Speaker 2: think if we do that, we have a hungry group 217 00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:00,960 Speaker 2: that is coming on off of a year that they're 218 00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:04,200 Speaker 2: not as proud of as some of the previous seasons, 219 00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:07,280 Speaker 2: and so there is a hunger amongst the players to 220 00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:09,120 Speaker 2: get right back to work and hit the ground running. 221 00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:11,280 Speaker 13: Yes, you already talked that you plan to call a 222 00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:14,400 Speaker 13: defense on game days. How much dialogue during the interview 223 00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:18,040 Speaker 13: processes you have with Anthemy about that and how does 224 00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:20,760 Speaker 13: that dynamic work to make sure you're doing all you 225 00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:22,480 Speaker 13: need to do as a head coach throughout the week 226 00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:24,880 Speaker 13: and he does everything that needs to be done with 227 00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:27,800 Speaker 13: defensively that it seamless comes out. 228 00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:28,480 Speaker 6: Day in game day. 229 00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:32,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, we certainly had conversations about that, so he understood 230 00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:34,360 Speaker 2: what the job was gonna be. But I also was 231 00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:37,679 Speaker 2: looking for a leader and somebody that could run that room. 232 00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:39,160 Speaker 2: I know I'm not going to be able to be 233 00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:41,400 Speaker 2: in there maybe quite as much as I was as 234 00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:44,840 Speaker 2: just the defensive coordinator. And so the leadership piece, the 235 00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:48,240 Speaker 2: knowledge piece. We've ran similar schemes the last couple of 236 00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:50,560 Speaker 2: years where he's been at, where I've been at. He 237 00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:53,880 Speaker 2: obviously came from here before, so there's so many great 238 00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:58,480 Speaker 2: qualities of him knowing the surroundings, knowing what it means 239 00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:00,240 Speaker 2: to be a Raven, knowing how we're trying to kind 240 00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:02,400 Speaker 2: of rebrand that a little bit and make it make 241 00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:04,240 Speaker 2: it a new age way to play like a raven. 242 00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:07,440 Speaker 2: And so I'm super confident in Anthony's ability to lead 243 00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:10,000 Speaker 2: our defense, uh and then us to work very well, 244 00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:13,200 Speaker 2: very close together in the game planning process and a 245 00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:15,120 Speaker 2: lot of times and and you know, Declan was in 246 00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:17,920 Speaker 2: a similar situation last year, and so we've talked about 247 00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:20,880 Speaker 2: that where it's really like they're able to do a 248 00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:23,400 Speaker 2: lot of that work and be prepared as if they're 249 00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:25,679 Speaker 2: even gonna call the game and then knowing that at 250 00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:27,280 Speaker 2: the end of the day, that's that's the role I'm 251 00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:28,560 Speaker 2: gonna have on game. 252 00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:41,400 Speaker 14: Day, thinks guy, you we certainly have rushers, right. 253 00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:43,920 Speaker 4: I think it took a hit with with losing Justin Mattabek. 254 00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:45,880 Speaker 4: I think we all know the effect that that losing 255 00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:48,840 Speaker 4: him had on this defense. But from a talent standpoint, 256 00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:51,680 Speaker 4: we certainly have some dudes that can get there in 257 00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:54,120 Speaker 4: the back end. Have talent all across the board, right. 258 00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:57,120 Speaker 4: I think first guy comes to minds Kyle Hamilton. He's 259 00:11:57,160 --> 00:11:59,200 Speaker 4: the ultimate chess piece. You can do so many things 260 00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:01,360 Speaker 4: with him, and you go back a corner with Nate 261 00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:04,920 Speaker 4: Wiggins and in the back when Malachi Starks rokwon. I mean, 262 00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:06,959 Speaker 4: we have we have talent, so much talent on this 263 00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:10,120 Speaker 4: defense that as a coordinator like I can't help but 264 00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:12,320 Speaker 4: get up here and just smile and be happy about 265 00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:15,080 Speaker 4: it because your your options are limitless in what you 266 00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:15,600 Speaker 4: want to do. 267 00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:19,000 Speaker 5: So feel really good about both of those. 268 00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:22,400 Speaker 9: Things Kyle doing from Baltimore banner. 269 00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:25,840 Speaker 6: You know, is it a few years ago? 270 00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:28,400 Speaker 9: You know, I think a lot of us considered you 271 00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:31,240 Speaker 9: a candidate to be the best coordinator here in Baltimore. 272 00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:32,360 Speaker 6: And potentially. 273 00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:35,200 Speaker 5: You know, when when you. 274 00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:37,280 Speaker 9: Did not get that job and when you went to Miami, 275 00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:40,160 Speaker 9: what was your reaction at that time, and what do 276 00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:42,199 Speaker 9: you kind of take away from your experience as a 277 00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:43,400 Speaker 9: DC in Miami. 278 00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:44,439 Speaker 6: That it didn't help you? 279 00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:44,719 Speaker 12: Now? 280 00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:49,640 Speaker 4: Yeah, my reaction at that particular time wasn't much of 281 00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:53,000 Speaker 4: a reaction at all. Right, I think that that would 282 00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,640 Speaker 4: be a question more suited for John, who I love 283 00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:56,880 Speaker 4: and respect. 284 00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:59,160 Speaker 5: But and I love Zach Orr. Should I coach Zach 285 00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:00,319 Speaker 5: in college? Right? 286 00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:02,719 Speaker 4: So it's not like when when it happened, I was like, Oh, 287 00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:05,440 Speaker 4: I'll come on, what are we doing around here? That's 288 00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:10,960 Speaker 4: a fine you know. It's not like when that hire happened. 289 00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:12,920 Speaker 4: I was shocked because I have so much love and 290 00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:18,000 Speaker 4: respect for Zach too. So it certainly made sense. Going 291 00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:19,920 Speaker 4: to Miami was just an opportunity, right, It was an 292 00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:21,839 Speaker 4: opportunity to go and show I can lead a defense 293 00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:22,959 Speaker 4: again as a coordinator. 294 00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:24,440 Speaker 5: Uh So I jumped at it. 295 00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:26,920 Speaker 4: And I'm to be honest, like the no state taxes 296 00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:29,520 Speaker 4: and being in sunny South Florida wasn't a that was 297 00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:33,439 Speaker 4: that was a plus two, right, But a lot of 298 00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:36,439 Speaker 4: learning experiences there. Uh, I thought we had a very 299 00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:40,080 Speaker 4: connected group that flew around, played fast, physical but elite 300 00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:43,680 Speaker 4: technique and fundamentals, And we're trying to recreate the same 301 00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:45,439 Speaker 4: thing here but even better and try to try to 302 00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:49,080 Speaker 4: step it up a notch. So hopefully I'll answer your question. 303 00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:54,240 Speaker 2: Welcome, welcome back to going Or after making so much 304 00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:57,360 Speaker 2: a coaching interest in the Sagle, why were you willing 305 00:13:57,400 --> 00:13:59,480 Speaker 2: to come back to some place where you won't be going. 306 00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:03,400 Speaker 4: Yeah, this is this job and being with coach Minner 307 00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:07,920 Speaker 4: and the staff and these players is hardly a constellation prize, right, 308 00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:11,920 Speaker 4: And I'd be I'd be I'd be lying you say 309 00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:14,400 Speaker 4: to hear and say that I wasn't disappointed that I 310 00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:17,800 Speaker 4: didn't get a head job. But ultimately I just came 311 00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:20,520 Speaker 4: back to why am I doing this to begin with? 312 00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:24,080 Speaker 5: Right?

I've been preparing for this moment and feel 352 00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:54,760 Speaker 2: good about the plan that we have to build a 353 00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:55,400 Speaker 2: great team here. 354 00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:58,840 Speaker 14: Jack, when you were opostee in Chicago, you're it's to 355 00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:00,480 Speaker 14: be your first time as a primary play call What 356 00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:03,280 Speaker 14: challenges does that present being the play caller? 357 00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:08,080 Speaker 7: Yeah, obviously it's a very different job. My job in 358 00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:11,840 Speaker 7: Chicago was to support Ben and support our offense and 359 00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:13,680 Speaker 7: try to get our guys on the same page. I 360 00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:17,000 Speaker 7: was a communicator. I was a collaborator and to try 361 00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:19,280 Speaker 7: to build it. Just like Jesse said, I was trying 362 00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:21,360 Speaker 7: to build it when Ben wasn't in the room, so 363 00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:24,200 Speaker 7: that when he stepped in, things hit the ground running, 364 00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:26,120 Speaker 7: the table was set and we could save a lot 365 00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:29,040 Speaker 7: of time and be efficient. And then whenever he wasn't 366 00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:31,240 Speaker 7: in the room, I was running that meeting. But at 367 00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:33,280 Speaker 7: the end of the day, he was the final stamp 368 00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:36,000 Speaker 7: on anything we were doing as an offense. Certainly we 369 00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:38,640 Speaker 7: all had ideas as a staff, but it all kind 370 00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:41,800 Speaker 7: of came down to what he wanted to do. And 371 00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:44,120 Speaker 7: so this is a different role where now I'm the 372 00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:47,040 Speaker 7: one stamping it and kind of leading the staff. And 373 00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:50,200 Speaker 7: so there are similarities in the jobs because there were 374 00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:52,040 Speaker 7: parts of it then that you know, you're in front 375 00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:55,240 Speaker 7: of the room a lot, but now you know, being 376 00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:59,160 Speaker 7: the last guy to kind of see it, articulating the vision, 377 00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:01,440 Speaker 7: being able to sell that to the players, and then 378 00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:03,800 Speaker 7: ultimately being able to call the plays on game day 379 00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:07,800 Speaker 7: was what attracted me to to this opportunity to. 380 00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:12,240 Speaker 9: Kind of follow up on that. What kind of have 381 00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:15,840 Speaker 9: you done to prepare as the caller? Because I mean, 382 00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:19,960 Speaker 9: is there something that Ben did that you you know tracked? 383 00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:23,080 Speaker 9: Is there you know, any prep while you were o 384 00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:25,359 Speaker 9: see which you're sort of like, Okay, if I call. 385 00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:26,800 Speaker 6: This, I might do that. 386 00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:28,800 Speaker 11: Happy is it prepare I've been. 387 00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:30,679 Speaker 6: Preparing for it for a long time obviously, is uh? 388 00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:33,399 Speaker 7: As soon as you kind of step into this job, 389 00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:35,920 Speaker 7: you start being part of the process of the game 390 00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:40,040 Speaker 7: planning and so more so than anything like, yes, you 391 00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:42,080 Speaker 7: are are calling a play on game day, but the 392 00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:44,800 Speaker 7: prep during the week is where the work exists and 393 00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:47,840 Speaker 7: and the game planning and being able to shoot holes 394 00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:51,880 Speaker 7: in things and work with others. The one area where 395 00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:54,800 Speaker 7: I have prepared to actually call it every every game 396 00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:56,480 Speaker 7: that I've been a part of in the NFL, I 397 00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:59,320 Speaker 7: go out, you know, three hours early, and I'll walk 398 00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:02,320 Speaker 7: the field and kind of basically simulate four drives. And 399 00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:03,800 Speaker 7: I've done that since I got in the league in 400 00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:06,720 Speaker 7: twenty nineteen as a quality control coach in New Orleans, 401 00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:09,359 Speaker 7: because I knew that I was really young when I 402 00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:09,959 Speaker 7: got hired there. 403 00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:11,320 Speaker 6: I was twenty two, and I knew. 404 00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:12,679 Speaker 7: That the first time I was going to call plays 405 00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:15,320 Speaker 7: probably wasn't going to be in a you know, a 406 00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:17,560 Speaker 7: smaller setting. It was probably going to be with the 407 00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:19,760 Speaker 7: bright lights, and I felt like I needed to prepare 408 00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:22,479 Speaker 7: for that early. So in that way, you know, I've 409 00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:25,920 Speaker 7: kind of been preparing just to be able to call 410 00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:28,520 Speaker 7: it and kind of how your mind works. But really 411 00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:31,520 Speaker 7: the work during the week is what counts, and that's 412 00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:33,280 Speaker 7: been a part of really every job that I've had. 413 00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:39,280 Speaker 16: Those are being congrats on your vision, Just curious you've 414 00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:41,840 Speaker 16: been here as a player coach and with here last year. 415 00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:44,920 Speaker 16: How much do you think the experience of that being 416 00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:46,879 Speaker 16: with some of these guys last year will help you 417 00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:49,879 Speaker 16: make a transition this year and your position than that, 418 00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:52,159 Speaker 16: they know you and you know a lot of that. 419 00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:54,080 Speaker 5: Thank you, mister Cliff. 420 00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:57,160 Speaker 8: And that's a great question, man, with me being here 421 00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:59,080 Speaker 8: as a player and me being as a coach, and 422 00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:02,359 Speaker 8: especially being here coming back here last year, being around 423 00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:04,159 Speaker 8: these guys and talking to them all the time and 424 00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:06,600 Speaker 8: getting to know them and connecting with them, but building 425 00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:09,920 Speaker 8: a relationship with them, like even now I got a call. 426 00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:12,359 Speaker 8: It's crazy that you asked them, because I got a 427 00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:16,560 Speaker 8: call last night from a player who flew here, KeAndre 428 00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:19,120 Speaker 8: sitting in the back to come here.

We don't talk a lot 442 00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:53,160 Speaker 8: about how much I did when I played, because it's 443 00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:55,000 Speaker 8: not about what I did when I played, because it's 444 00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:57,359 Speaker 8: more about them, and it's more about me being able 445 00:19:57,400 --> 00:20:00,119 Speaker 8: to teach them to go out there and be be 446 00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:03,399 Speaker 8: productive and have a great career that they want to have. 447 00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:11,000 Speaker 14: Conspiracies moved back to the Scott Brian movies. 448 00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:16,320 Speaker 8: Was our aware of the tradition will when I first 449 00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:18,320 Speaker 8: got here, I had I had a lot of I 450 00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:21,520 Speaker 8: had a lot of great veterans and I could probably 451 00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:23,880 Speaker 8: run him off. But one that that comes to mind, 452 00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:27,439 Speaker 8: who who I see every day is Jamal McClain. And 453 00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:30,679 Speaker 8: Jamal McClain did a great job of putting me to 454 00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:32,520 Speaker 8: the side and let me know the standard. So if 455 00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:35,320 Speaker 8: it's something that that that he felt like I should 456 00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:37,840 Speaker 8: have done better, I did that. But then at the 457 00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:41,040 Speaker 8: same time, my coaches, Jerry Rossberry held me to a 458 00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:43,879 Speaker 8: standard that I feel like he held no men, you know, 459 00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:48,199 Speaker 8: and so but he also he also loved me, you know, 460 00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:50,199 Speaker 8: and he'll call me up to his office all the 461 00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:53,080 Speaker 8: time and we wouldn't just talk about football. So one 462 00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:56,040 Speaker 8: thing about Jerry, he was coaching me, but he was 463 00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:58,280 Speaker 8: also teaching me at the same time, and the same 464 00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:00,000 Speaker 8: thing with Chris Horton if it won for Chris Horne. 465 00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:02,240 Speaker 8: And I mean I talked to Chris all the time 466 00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:05,920 Speaker 8: and he also helped prepare. So but to answer the question, 467 00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:08,760 Speaker 8: I know I'm kind of going but to know, Oh, 468 00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:12,440 Speaker 8: and Juice Man oj oj emails me all the time. 469 00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:15,280 Speaker 8: So and before a games, Juice Man text me. After games, 470 00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:18,800 Speaker 8: Juice Man text me so and it was always back 471 00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:20,840 Speaker 8: and forth with Juice Man about who's the better SPAS 472 00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:21,960 Speaker 8: teams playing me or him? 473 00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:23,520 Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying. 474 00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:26,000 Speaker 8: But I will give it the Juice Man just out 475 00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:29,320 Speaker 8: of respect for him. So, but the culture, the culture here. 476 00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:31,320 Speaker 8: You come into this building and isac Newsrom.

And then there's different levels of experience, and 502 00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:39,719 Speaker 2: there's different levels of guys that have been play callers, passing, 503 00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:42,440 Speaker 2: game coordinators, all those different types of things that can 504 00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:45,919 Speaker 2: really help support a younger, newer play caller that I 505 00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:47,600 Speaker 2: felt like maybe I had as I was coming up 506 00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:52,439 Speaker 2: as that type of position. And then on defense, you know, 507 00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:58,560 Speaker 2: I'm really looking for teachers, connectors, fundamentalists and how they 508 00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:00,760 Speaker 2: how they will teach the guys how to play defense 509 00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:02,720 Speaker 2: and what we expect how to play defense, like the 510 00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:06,520 Speaker 2: Ravens need to play defense, and so it really it 511 00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:10,639 Speaker 2: really was irrelevant of pro experience, college experience, years of experience. 512 00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:12,960 Speaker 2: It was being able to go through an interview process, 513 00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:15,679 Speaker 2: connect with these guys, see what they would be like 514 00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:17,280 Speaker 2: in front of the room, See what they would be like, 515 00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:22,160 Speaker 2: connecting with players, their technique backgrounds. So it all fits 516 00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:24,280 Speaker 2: together as a puzzle like you mentioned. And then in 517 00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:28,119 Speaker 2: special teams, same thing. We have a very experienced Randy 518 00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:31,280 Speaker 2: and Ben helping our special teams with Anthony, So I 519 00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:34,040 Speaker 2: think fitting all that together, you're trying to put that 520 00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:36,760 Speaker 2: room in the best position to be successful by blending 521 00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:37,879 Speaker 2: all the different experiences. 522 00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:39,800 Speaker 14: As ever, going. 523 00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:43,239 Speaker 17: Through the OC search, was there anyone to put you 524 00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:46,400 Speaker 17: on the decline? Was the name that kind of jumps 525 00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:49,480 Speaker 17: out now for us? And as you were going through 526 00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:52,119 Speaker 17: the process with them, were there any recommendations that you 527 00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:54,359 Speaker 17: got in front of more or anything that just kind 528 00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:57,360 Speaker 17: of stold you on his ability to a definitely. 529 00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:59,399 Speaker 2: Shot Yeah, I think as as you go through this 530 00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:03,719 Speaker 2: pross US a year ago was being talked about as 531 00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:06,240 Speaker 2: a head coach candidate. So then I think like in 532 00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:10,720 Speaker 2: the offseason, spent more time like studying different systems around 533 00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:12,760 Speaker 2: the league and the kind of what you would maybe 534 00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:14,280 Speaker 2: envision what you would want your. 535 00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:15,359 Speaker 3: Offensive system to be. 536 00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:18,200 Speaker 2: And so certainly have a ton of respect for Ben 537 00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:21,439 Speaker 2: Johnson obviously the head coach in Chicago and the system 538 00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:24,159 Speaker 2: that he had in Detroit now now Chicago, and so 539 00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:27,840 Speaker 2: the basis was really looking at systems and then kind 540 00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:31,240 Speaker 2: of you know, heard a lot of great things about 541 00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:34,680 Speaker 2: decline from a lot of people. It's hard to pinpoint one, 542 00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:38,680 Speaker 2: but everybody that had been around him, everybody was very 543 00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:41,480 Speaker 2: very highly recommended by current head coaches in the league 544 00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:45,199 Speaker 2: at various places. Other people that had tried to get it, 545 00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:47,200 Speaker 2: tried to get him the year prior when he ended 546 00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:51,040 Speaker 2: up going to Chicago, so very highly recommended. A guy 547 00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:54,400 Speaker 2: that I think is where age is just a numbers. 548 00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:56,680 Speaker 2: This is his eighth year in the National Football League, 549 00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:59,840 Speaker 2: and he's worked his way up and so I think 550 00:24:59,880 --> 00:25:02,720 Speaker 2: he he's really well prepared for this opportunity. I also, 551 00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:05,479 Speaker 2: as I went through it, a guy that was with 552 00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:08,400 Speaker 2: a first year team last year, like a new staff 553 00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:12,400 Speaker 2: as the offensive coordinator. So going through that first year installation. 554 00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:14,800 Speaker 2: I thought that was a major benefit as we got 555 00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:16,520 Speaker 2: to know each other better, that would that would help 556 00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:16,960 Speaker 2: us here. 557 00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:18,720 Speaker 17: See, you know you. 558 00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:22,359 Speaker 9: Brought up Mike and how close you guys are. Not 559 00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:25,120 Speaker 9: to take your eyes off your own paper. But obviously 560 00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:27,640 Speaker 9: Mike just won Super Bowl and I'm first I'm gonna 561 00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:32,480 Speaker 9: talk to you since then, does anything about the Seahawks 562 00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:37,480 Speaker 9: their success in the postseason, the turnaround that Mike had 563 00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:41,119 Speaker 9: in Seattle informed how you think you might be able 564 00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:44,880 Speaker 9: to rise to a similar level obvious year coach Weaver here, 565 00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:46,719 Speaker 9: who was on the defense when it was the lead, 566 00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:47,200 Speaker 9: you know in. 567 00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:47,920 Speaker 2: Twenty twenty three. 568 00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:50,800 Speaker 9: Is there some pieces that you kind of look at 569 00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:53,720 Speaker 9: Seattle and say, hey, you can do some of that here. 570 00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:54,000 Speaker 12: Yeah. 571 00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:58,280 Speaker 2: I think it's it's knowing Mike and I worked together here, 572 00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:02,160 Speaker 2: kind of came up knowing how he thinks about the game, 573 00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:05,200 Speaker 2: how I think about the game. There's a lot of similarities, 574 00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:09,480 Speaker 2: and so just seeing happy for him, proud of him. 575 00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:11,680 Speaker 2: Now chasing him, you know, chasing the team that wins 576 00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:14,800 Speaker 2: the Super Bowl. That's what we're doing. So stoke that 577 00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:18,000 Speaker 2: for the success that he's had. Certainly feel like, yeah, 578 00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:20,679 Speaker 2: there's some things that we could do that would hopefully 579 00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:22,440 Speaker 2: mirror some of that and look like that. 580 00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:24,679 Speaker 3: We know that the standards here. 581 00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:27,600 Speaker 2: In Baltimore are really high and the expectations on the 582 00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:30,480 Speaker 2: outside are really high. We want that we embrace that, 583 00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:33,200 Speaker 2: and so we're looking forward to going on our own 584 00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:36,520 Speaker 2: journey here trying to accomplish things together with it with 585 00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:40,040 Speaker 2: this group of guys. But certainly, you know, any I think, 586 00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:42,000 Speaker 2: I think you can always learn from the teams that 587 00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:44,240 Speaker 2: are doing well and taking things that they do well, 588 00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:48,399 Speaker 2: taking ideas from other people, and so certainly, you know, 589 00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:51,360 Speaker 2: looked at those guys closely and try to do some things. 590 00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:54,840 Speaker 6: This scenario is unique for the Ravens. 591 00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:56,840 Speaker 9: The last time the Ravens had a new head coach 592 00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:59,200 Speaker 9: of three new coordinators, Jacklin wasn't even born. 593 00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:01,840 Speaker 17: It was Ted Marchibrod Adam as you know all over 594 00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:04,480 Speaker 17: the year of the Ravens. So as the leader is 595 00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:08,440 Speaker 17: the culture center, how do you balance so much change 596 00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:11,600 Speaker 17: in an organization that's been built on foundational consistency. 597 00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:15,240 Speaker 2: I think there's a great piece of being here before 598 00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:19,560 Speaker 2: and understanding the foundation, understanding a lot of the history, 599 00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:23,879 Speaker 2: understanding what this place has been built on, while also 600 00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:27,000 Speaker 2: having formulated some of my own different ideas over the 601 00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:30,120 Speaker 2: last few years, and so I think the I think 602 00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:33,959 Speaker 2: there's a foundational way that the Ravens play that we 603 00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:36,560 Speaker 2: need to play like. But I also think that there's 604 00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:38,199 Speaker 2: a new age, you know, and a new way to 605 00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:40,720 Speaker 2: do things. And that's the reason we're all sitting up here, 606 00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:43,680 Speaker 2: you know, is that change can be embraced, change can 607 00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:48,159 Speaker 2: energize people, and so we really look forward to you know, 608 00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:50,399 Speaker 2: I think it'll be up to everybody watching us to 609 00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:52,920 Speaker 2: see what, oh what's different about it, you know, not 610 00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:56,119 Speaker 2: necessarily us, but everybody watching to determine what maybe the 611 00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:56,760 Speaker 2: differences are. 612 00:27:57,520 --> 00:27:58,560 Speaker 5: How are we able. 613 00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:00,760 Speaker 10: To get so much out of the data. Okay, once 614 00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:03,480 Speaker 10: he came to you guys out there in Los Angeles 615 00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:05,840 Speaker 10: and you've been wearing a Ravens uniform once. 616 00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:11,440 Speaker 2: Again, daff we you know, made a trade, picked him up. 617 00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:14,960 Speaker 2: We at the time needed an edge rusher, and I know, 618 00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:17,240 Speaker 2: you know, Joe and Eric obviously worked out the trade. 619 00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:21,359 Speaker 2: I think I think we just created an environment for 620 00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:24,959 Speaker 2: him that he played with a lot of confidence, simplified 621 00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:27,119 Speaker 2: some things that we were asking him to do, allowed 622 00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:28,800 Speaker 2: him at times to have a little more freedom as 623 00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:29,560 Speaker 2: a pass rusher. 624 00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:32,280 Speaker 3: I know he's earned the right to be a free 625 00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:32,880 Speaker 3: agent now. 626 00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:36,520 Speaker 2: And he had a really good statistical ending to his 627 00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:39,280 Speaker 2: his initial contract in the NFL, So he's earned the 628 00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:41,400 Speaker 2: right to be a free agent. So he'll have every 629 00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:43,440 Speaker 2: opportunity to, you know, look at it all and do 630 00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:46,600 Speaker 2: all that, and I know Eric and the guys will 631 00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:48,360 Speaker 2: make great decisions of who we bring in here in 632 00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:48,960 Speaker 2: free agency. 633 00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:52,320 Speaker 9: Over the past several years, the Ravens seemed to have 634 00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:54,320 Speaker 9: been snake in a fourth quarter leads. 635 00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:58,640 Speaker 5: Losing leads, losing games that they should have won. 636 00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:02,600 Speaker 6: Is that in mind said, and how do you turn 637 00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:03,320 Speaker 6: that around? 638 00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:04,600 Speaker 12: Yeah? 639 00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:07,800 Speaker 5: I think it's just how you operate and do things 640 00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:08,320 Speaker 5: every day. 641 00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:11,160 Speaker 4: Right, It's not one of those things where people say, 642 00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:13,640 Speaker 4: fourth quarter you feel there's pressure, you're gonna rise to occasion. 643 00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:15,760 Speaker 4: I don't believe that. I think you just you just 644 00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:18,160 Speaker 4: fall to the level of what your standards are. So 645 00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:19,959 Speaker 4: it's just hit up here, when you're talking about standards 646 00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:21,920 Speaker 4: and expectation, let's make sure and work for filling those 647 00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:24,960 Speaker 4: and reaching those standards and expectations every single day. That's 648 00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:27,240 Speaker 4: what's gonna win in the fourth Right, It's not gonna 649 00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:28,680 Speaker 4: be like, hey, let's turn it up at notch. Well, 650 00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:31,280 Speaker 4: what were you doing in the first three quarters. Let's 651 00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:33,560 Speaker 4: let's keep whatever that notch is. Let's keep our foot 652 00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:35,720 Speaker 4: on the gas every single play, and then the results 653 00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:36,640 Speaker 4: will take care of themselves. 654 00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:39,640 Speaker 6: Sorry. Anthony Samk on Baltimore song. 655 00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:41,560 Speaker 12: Over the past two years has been a lot of talks, 656 00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:43,280 Speaker 12: a lot very much just the idea of getting the 657 00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:46,760 Speaker 12: Ragings defense back to being feared. Here's one if that's 658 00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:48,880 Speaker 12: been in your purview at all, and two for you 659 00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:50,320 Speaker 12: and this defense, what might. 660 00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:50,760 Speaker 6: That look like? 661 00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:55,720 Speaker 4: You know, it's it's funny because you say that, and 662 00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:58,080 Speaker 4: I instantly go back to this this shirt from when 663 00:29:58,080 --> 00:29:59,720 Speaker 4: I was like a rookie they say it's better to 664 00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:03,000 Speaker 4: be fe and loved right and had a Baltimore Raven 665 00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:05,360 Speaker 4: on it. I know it wasn't like an officially issued shirt, 666 00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:09,120 Speaker 4: but I go straight to that, and ultimately, I just 667 00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:13,040 Speaker 4: think it's about how we play, right. It's about us 668 00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:15,360 Speaker 4: like going out there and flying around to the ball. 669 00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:18,600 Speaker 4: Having eleven guys connected right that are in a flow state, 670 00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:20,360 Speaker 4: that kind of know what each other is doing, and 671 00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:22,040 Speaker 4: we're just flying around. Looks like a pack wolves. If 672 00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:24,280 Speaker 4: it looks like we have thirteen guys out there. That's 673 00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:27,400 Speaker 4: where we're chasing defeating blocks. If you get a chance 674 00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:29,479 Speaker 4: to intimidate and hit somebody, let's do it. Let's make 675 00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:31,920 Speaker 4: sure we do that. But the one thing I know 676 00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:34,120 Speaker 4: is just having been with so many of these guys 677 00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:37,840 Speaker 4: prior like they have that it's it's ingrained in their DNA. 678 00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:40,880 Speaker 4: Otherwise they wouldn't be here. So we're just trying to 679 00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:42,960 Speaker 4: get back to that standard. You know, I don't know 680 00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:44,440 Speaker 4: what happened the last two years. I know when I 681 00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:46,200 Speaker 4: turn on the tape there's still a lot of things 682 00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:48,680 Speaker 4: you get excited about. We just got to make sure 683 00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:51,200 Speaker 4: we're more consistent in those actions to get back to 684 00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:52,040 Speaker 4: where we want to be. 685 00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:02,440 Speaker 5: Above my pay grade. 686 00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:05,880 Speaker 6: Man, with Lamar, then you. 687 00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:08,600 Speaker 11: Said the other day, you know he's has a higher 688 00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:11,760 Speaker 11: ceiling too. Curiously, when you've studied of in when you've 689 00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:15,560 Speaker 11: looked at so far, which specifically stands out is as 690 00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:18,680 Speaker 11: areas where you feel like he can really excel, you know, 691 00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:19,960 Speaker 11: in a technical. 692 00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:22,880 Speaker 7: Aftert So with Lamar, obviously, the biggest thing with him 693 00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:25,440 Speaker 7: that's a challenge to defend for a defense is that 694 00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:27,680 Speaker 7: they have to defend two plays on every play, So 695 00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:30,080 Speaker 7: they have to defend the first play that we call 696 00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:33,800 Speaker 7: that we have designed and game planned and you know, 697 00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:35,920 Speaker 7: trying to stress the defense, and then they have to 698 00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:38,880 Speaker 7: defend the second element, which is him creating on his 699 00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:42,200 Speaker 7: own that second act, the stuff that he's done since 700 00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:46,320 Speaker 7: he was a kid. That first play can be more 701 00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:49,600 Speaker 7: consistent at times with his eyes, with his footwork within 702 00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:50,960 Speaker 7: the system. 703 00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:53,280 Speaker 6: That's kind of what I've noticed is we've watched the tape. 704 00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:55,840 Speaker 7: That's stuff that as soon as he gets in here, 705 00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:59,120 Speaker 7: I'm really fired up to sit with him and start 706 00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:01,160 Speaker 7: to talk through a lot of that stuff, because you 707 00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:03,440 Speaker 7: don't always get the full picture until you're really sitting 708 00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:06,480 Speaker 7: with a player and talking, you know, how are you 709 00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:08,600 Speaker 7: being coached or what were you supposed to be looking 710 00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:10,600 Speaker 7: at or And once you start to be able. 711 00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:12,640 Speaker 6: To have that dialogue, that's where progress exists. 712 00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:16,600 Speaker 7: But that that really is, you know, I want to 713 00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:18,479 Speaker 7: have a growth mindset with every one of our players 714 00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:19,880 Speaker 7: that when they come in here they feel like they 715 00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:23,360 Speaker 7: can get better our whole you know, our offensive staff. 716 00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:25,040 Speaker 7: I'm sure they're doing it on defense as well. Has 717 00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:28,080 Speaker 7: has looked at each of our guys. They've kind of 718 00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:30,520 Speaker 7: made these points, these action plans as far as how 719 00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:33,320 Speaker 7: we're going to improve this offseason, three different areas that 720 00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:35,960 Speaker 7: they're going to get better at, and you know he's 721 00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:38,560 Speaker 7: he's no exception to that. 722 00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:42,720 Speaker 9: And you know, obviously Kills has a great season this past. 723 00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:46,960 Speaker 6: Year, and you know those sports were as. 724 00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:49,960 Speaker 9: Running up make some magic. When you kind of look 725 00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:53,320 Speaker 9: at the you know, good ending two players that you're 726 00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:57,600 Speaker 9: just talking out there, what sort of your balance or 727 00:32:57,680 --> 00:33:00,400 Speaker 9: the balance you've seen from kind of cargo of kind 728 00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:04,240 Speaker 9: of especially when the game is on the line, you know, 729 00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:09,720 Speaker 9: calling set players or trusting for a propositional or bad 730 00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:12,080 Speaker 9: to make something happen. 731 00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:14,160 Speaker 7: Yeah, it's always gonna start with a set play called 732 00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:16,600 Speaker 7: it's not ever just like hey, you know you call 733 00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:19,160 Speaker 7: scramble that that happens naturally, that happens within the game, 734 00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:22,560 Speaker 7: And so it's always gonna be it's gonna start with, 735 00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:24,479 Speaker 7: you know, whatever we feel like is gonna put our 736 00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:26,560 Speaker 7: our players in the best position to go have success. 737 00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:29,080 Speaker 7: That's our our white outs, that's our our offensive line, 738 00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:32,040 Speaker 7: making sure that that's short up and the plays that 739 00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:36,280 Speaker 7: we're running are sound. And then it's coaching the fundamentals 740 00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:38,720 Speaker 7: and the details of when that second play exists, when 741 00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:41,120 Speaker 7: he does evade, when he leaves the pocket and flushes 742 00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:45,680 Speaker 7: the responses of you know, all the receivers the offensive line, 743 00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:48,720 Speaker 7: so that our spacing is correct in the passing game 744 00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:51,280 Speaker 7: and we are able to Uh he's he's a racing 745 00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:55,560 Speaker 7: and he's able to chase you know, more explosive gains 746 00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:57,600 Speaker 7: just with that second act. And that was really what 747 00:33:57,640 --> 00:33:59,360 Speaker 7: we found with Caleb was the same thing. You know, 748 00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:02,840 Speaker 7: the core back as the eraser of game planning errors 749 00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:05,080 Speaker 7: or mistakes, like if there's something where you know, we 750 00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:08,040 Speaker 7: expected a certain coverage and we didn't get it. At times, 751 00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:09,839 Speaker 7: the quarterback's got to put the cape on and go 752 00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:13,239 Speaker 7: be superman. And so in a lot of ways, that's 753 00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:16,920 Speaker 7: the similarity between their games is that you know, Lamar 754 00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:18,600 Speaker 7: does have the ability to go do that at times. 755 00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:22,840 Speaker 11: It's the process like of you hiring your dad to 756 00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:23,759 Speaker 11: this job. 757 00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:26,240 Speaker 2: And obviously what are you most looking forward to working 758 00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:30,200 Speaker 2: with him on the season. Uh, it was probably the 759 00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:32,839 Speaker 2: easiest hire out of the twenty I don't know how 760 00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:35,640 Speaker 2: many people total.
