I mean just the leadership, 185 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:26,360 Speaker 2: the command. You see that on the field. I think 186 00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:27,920 Speaker 2: the players are responding to it. 187 00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:30,040 Speaker 3: You see the. 188 00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:33,960 Speaker 2: Competitiveness that he brings, You see the demeanor that he brings. 189 00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:36,600 Speaker 2: You know, I'm excited again. We're in phase three, so 190 00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:38,040 Speaker 2: we're you know, we're working through a lot of He's 191 00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:40,080 Speaker 2: this new offense for him, and he's and he's played 192 00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:41,480 Speaker 2: a lot of football, so a lot of these players 193 00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:43,640 Speaker 2: are similar to what he knows just getting on the 194 00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:46,800 Speaker 2: same page terminology wise. But he's doing a great job 195 00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:49,960 Speaker 2: and I'm I'm excited to have him, appreciated to have 196 00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:52,480 Speaker 2: him and what he's been, what he's been to the offense. 197 00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:55,440 Speaker 6: Is there anything you've seen from Russ that you maybe 198 00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:57,360 Speaker 6: can see better in person versus seeing it. 199 00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:58,760 Speaker 3: I'll take just him being around with. 200 00:07:58,760 --> 00:07:59,760 Speaker 5: Roo rooms and everything. 201 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know again, I've just washed him from Afar, 202 00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:04,720 Speaker 2: But being around him in the quarterback room, he's he's great. 203 00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:07,960 Speaker 2: I mean, he has a really cool perspective, you know, 204 00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:11,160 Speaker 2: just all of his experiences playoff game, super Bowl games, 205 00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:14,560 Speaker 2: in season games, late game, like you know, situations at 206 00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:16,880 Speaker 2: the end of the game. Hear this happens, and it's 207 00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:18,760 Speaker 2: great for me to bounce ideas often because he has 208 00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:21,640 Speaker 2: a different perspective he sees the game. It's you know differently, 209 00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:23,840 Speaker 2: right because you've played a lot of ball and all 210 00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:26,080 Speaker 2: of a sudden, he can you know, we can challenge 211 00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:28,560 Speaker 2: each other on some of the games or situations and 212 00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:31,440 Speaker 2: play calls and just keep that open dialogue. 213 00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:33,280 Speaker 3: In terms of in terms of communication. 214 00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:34,960 Speaker 2: That's just with Ross, but with the whole quarterback room, 215 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:37,280 Speaker 2: and that's been great for everybody because everyone has let 216 00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:39,000 Speaker 2: even Jamis and he's played a long time, he has 217 00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:42,760 Speaker 2: a early pick and you know he has certainly a 218 00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:44,320 Speaker 2: buwload of experience as well. 219 00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:46,760 Speaker 3: What you expect the offense to look like with him? 220 00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:49,160 Speaker 3: Excuse me, what do you expect the offense to look 221 00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:50,040 Speaker 3: like with Russ? 222 00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:54,240 Speaker 2: Is it gonna be significantly different given his skill set 223 00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:56,040 Speaker 2: maybe compared to what you had in the pastor of 224 00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:58,120 Speaker 2: the other guys. Yeah, I think you know, when you 225 00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:00,720 Speaker 2: look at this the players and right now on phase three, 226 00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:03,600 Speaker 2: you know, we're evaluating guys. It's kind of a different camp, 227 00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:06,000 Speaker 2: just bat the nature of the physicality of it. Like 228 00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:09,040 Speaker 2: we're not in pads, so you miss an element of 229 00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:11,840 Speaker 2: you know, the run game, the physicality. It's more of 230 00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:14,680 Speaker 2: a passing camp and you know, more speed driven and 231 00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:18,320 Speaker 2: developing the speed and strength aspect of it. But you know, 232 00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:21,560 Speaker 2: right now, we're we're you know, we're evaluating our players 233 00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:23,040 Speaker 2: based on the schemes we put in. We're trying to 234 00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:24,960 Speaker 2: put them in good spots to get evaluation of what 235 00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:28,000 Speaker 2: they can and can't do. We're trying to We're putting 236 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:29,800 Speaker 2: a lot of installations in to see how much they 237 00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:33,440 Speaker 2: can regurgitate and give back and show up and play 238 00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:36,280 Speaker 2: fast and still you know, have a lot of volume 239 00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:38,880 Speaker 2: and test them on that. So now we know how 240 00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:41,679 Speaker 2: much volume we can carry throughout the year and know, 241 00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:44,080 Speaker 2: you know, all right, maybe this group can't handle this, 242 00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:47,040 Speaker 2: or they can. We can continue to build on certain packages. 243 00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:49,160 Speaker 2: But at the end of the day, you know, right 244 00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:51,400 Speaker 2: now in phase three, we're coming together. We have a 245 00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:53,720 Speaker 2: bunch of new guys that are due to the offense 246 00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:55,120 Speaker 2: that we're trying to get caught up to speed, but 247 00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:57,760 Speaker 2: also not take away the veterans that have been here 248 00:09:58,080 --> 00:09:59,440 Speaker 2: and continue to add more to their plate. 249 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:01,079 Speaker 5: Wield the conversation. 250 00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:03,920 Speaker 1: Like in your reaction when Dable said, for at least 251 00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:06,040 Speaker 1: the spring here, it looks like your call and plays again, 252 00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:08,439 Speaker 1: what was your reaction to that? And do you think 253 00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:11,200 Speaker 1: you'll be any different of a play caller now after 254 00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:12,360 Speaker 1: a year off than you were. 255 00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:14,760 Speaker 3: The first two years. That's that's a good question. 256 00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:17,360 Speaker 2: I'd say, like, well, right now, whatever Daves needs me 257 00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:18,839 Speaker 2: to do, that's what I'm gonna do. You know, if 258 00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:21,880 Speaker 2: he needs me to call plays, if he needs me 259 00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:24,200 Speaker 2: to you know, communicate with to the quarterback, he needs 260 00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:25,680 Speaker 2: me to do certain things, like I'm gonna do whatever 261 00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:29,000 Speaker 2: he asked me to do, and so, you know, that's 262 00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:30,319 Speaker 2: kind of the first thing i'd say. 263 00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:32,360 Speaker 3: The next part of it is, you know, the learning. 264 00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:34,640 Speaker 3: You're learning every year. You're learning and growing every year. 265 00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:37,680 Speaker 3: So whether I'm learning from my experiences when I was 266 00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:39,120 Speaker 3: calling it, when I wasn't calling it. 267 00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:42,120 Speaker 2: Other play callers across the league, you study them and 268 00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:45,840 Speaker 2: their their habits. So it's been you know, I think 269 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,520 Speaker 2: each year, if you're not looking for that to grow 270 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:51,560 Speaker 2: as a professional, then you're you know, you're not taking 271 00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:53,600 Speaker 2: a step in the right direction. So I've always used that, 272 00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:56,640 Speaker 2: whether it's phase two, phase three, the off season as 273 00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:58,319 Speaker 2: that kind of that that jumping point for. 274 00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:00,880 Speaker 3: Men length with Dable. 275 00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:03,760 Speaker 6: Excuse me, that's that's something you talked about length with 276 00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:05,040 Speaker 6: Bryan the prospects. 277 00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:07,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I'm not going to get into like 278 00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:11,400 Speaker 2: the personal conversations with them, but yeah, I mean me 279 00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:13,800 Speaker 2: and Daves have opened dialogue by of things, I'll just 280 00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:18,640 Speaker 2: end up bicking Evan Neil can be a good starting guardian. Yeah, 281 00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:20,520 Speaker 2: Evan's doing a nice job. And you see in transition 282 00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:22,760 Speaker 2: he did it in college. And again it's just like 283 00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:24,600 Speaker 2: kind of the nature of the camp. It's not a 284 00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:27,360 Speaker 2: you know, full padded camp, so it's but but there 285 00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:29,040 Speaker 2: is a lot of fundamentals you can work in the 286 00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:32,280 Speaker 2: individual drills, the past sitting drills, and Evan's doing a 287 00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:32,920 Speaker 2: nice job, you know. 288 00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:33,480 Speaker 3: I'm happy for 289 00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:37,520 Speaker 2: H
