1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:04,200
Speaker 1: So we're on O T A six today. Work in

2
00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:06,920
Speaker 1: some different situations, a little bit more first and second

3
00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:11,200
Speaker 1: down stuff again, just kinda taking a day by day

4
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:14,200
Speaker 1: and making some strides as we go. I'm looking forward

5
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:21,000
Speaker 1: to going out there and having a good day. All right,

6
00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:28,480
Speaker 1: We're good, good left. Yeah, he'll he'll be in a

7
00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:31,160
Speaker 1: Red Jersey today along with some of the other guys.

8
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:33,080
Speaker 1: I'd say this with the Red Jersey guys are all

9
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:37,680
Speaker 1: making progress. Um, taking it day by day, but they're

10
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:39,800
Speaker 1: all doing a good job of doing the rehab that

11
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:42,199
Speaker 1: they need to do with whatever that's required of them.

12
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 1: Any long term like training camp concerns with them, whatever happened, No,

13
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:49,400
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think there's really any. I mean,

14
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:51,559
Speaker 1: we'll see. It's day to day. I'll talk about for everybody.

15
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 1: I think the Red Jersey guys are making progress. Hopefully

16
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 1: we'll have everybody ready to go. Can you talk a

17
00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 1: little bit about Julian Love just you know, he's one

18
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 1: of those guys insteady performed without a lot of fanfare. Yeah, dependable, smart,

19
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 1: you know, he plays tough on tape. I think he's

20
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 1: done a good job in his group, being a good

21
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:16,200
Speaker 1: leader for us, good communication with X out there, UM,

22
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:18,760
Speaker 1: really a pleasure to be around. It seems like, you know,

23
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:20,279
Speaker 1: we we can use him in a lot of different

24
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 1: roles and and he's I'd stay ready for that challenge

25
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 1: in terms of understanding the playbook and then being able

26
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:27,399
Speaker 1: to perform it out there on the field. Up to

27
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 1: this point, right, you're coming out things from you know,

28
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:34,680
Speaker 1: most of your careers better as an offensive coach. When

29
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 1: you're out here and you see Wink do things defensively,

30
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 1: do you process it as an offensive coach? And did

31
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 1: you say, man, that that's hard to be Um. Yeah,

32
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 1: my first five years in football were learning defense from

33
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 1: Nick Saban and Belichick and um, a couple other good

34
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 1: coaches that I've worked for. I've obviously been doing offense

35
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 1: for a while. I think one of the reasons we

36
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 1: decided to hire Wink was, you know, he does run.

37
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 1: I'd say a multiple scheme presents certain challenges to you. Offensively,

38
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 1: He's a good communicator. I think he does a good

39
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:10,959
Speaker 1: job of of leading the defensive coaches and players out there.

40
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 1: But yeah, I'd say it's so it's always a learning process.

41
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 1: You know, you get a um appreciation for the players,

42
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:20,959
Speaker 1: you know, you you you're running the system and you're

43
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 1: installing it and those guys this is tough. And then

44
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 1: you know, I'm trying to make sure I'm up to

45
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 1: speed on all the defensive stuff and what we call

46
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 1: it and why we do certain things as well as

47
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:34,119
Speaker 1: the ticking game. Um. But yeah, there's a lot to it. Yeah,

48
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 1: Ryan mention, As we's wanting Daniel to be aggressive and

49
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:40,799
Speaker 1: taking shots, how has he done with that through five

50
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 1: of these practices? Good? Yeah, I think those are all

51
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 1: good learning lessons. Um. Can you fit in in that window?

52
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 1: Can he move the safety with his eyes? Can you

53
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:53,959
Speaker 1: anticipate where receiver is gonna be based on the choice

54
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,799
Speaker 1: that the receiver has. That's gonna be all the way

55
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 1: through you know the rest of these O T A

56
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 1: s and through training camp. Um. I think that's why

57
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 1: you practice for a quarterback, especially like it's okay to

58
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 1: make a mistake and practice. I mean you're touched the

59
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 1: ball in every single play. Let's go ahead and find out,

60
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 1: you know, what we need to work on, and let's

61
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 1: continue to be as aggressive as we can. I think

62
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 1: the first where anyone used to describe his defense is aggressive.

63
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:21,800
Speaker 1: Like when you were looking for a defensive coordinator with

64
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:23,639
Speaker 1: that a party or it just you just liked him

65
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:25,519
Speaker 1: or did you like the other ways you can play defense?

66
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:28,680
Speaker 1: Obviously with his style one that really appealed to you. Yeah,

67
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 1: i'd say that, you know one. He did a good

68
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 1: job in the interview too. He's his system is difficult

69
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 1: to prepare for um as an offensive coach. So again

70
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 1: there's got to be a good meld of personalities and

71
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 1: a lot of other things that go into it. But

72
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 1: but certainly his his defense is uh, you know, they

73
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 1: were aggressive, presented certain challenges as an offensive play caller,

74
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 1: and when you're game plan and stuff. Again, we're you know,

75
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 1: we're in day six here, he's done, He's put a

76
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 1: lot in. Um, i'd say it's still it's still difficult

77
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 1: when you're wearing offensive coach. You know, offensive coach has

78
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 1: got to go back. You don't game plan against your team,

79
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:16,719
Speaker 1: but there are certain challenges to it. Were good here, big,

80
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:19,280
Speaker 1: big guy relationships. Yeah, where have you seen from the play?

81
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 1: You know, the players and Wink belding together and coming together. Yeah,

82
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 1: I think Wink is a very genuine guy. Um. You know,

83
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 1: I'd say this the first day that he stood in

84
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 1: front of the defense. I was in that meeting and

85
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 1: it was pretty quiet. He was a guy that was

86
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 1: talking most of the time. But I'd say he encouraged

87
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 1: his input and a good give and taken there. And

88
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 1: now when I go in there, you know, the first

89
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 1: five minutes it's like a you know, it's like a

90
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:47,360
Speaker 1: party for five minutes. Everybody's talking, laughing, telling stories. So

91
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 1: I think he's done a good job of loosening to

92
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 1: those guys up um, but we gotta go a long

93
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 1: way to go with those guys. Guys the first mine

94
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:58,359
Speaker 1: head coach, you know, you can pick pick when you

95
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:00,599
Speaker 1: want on your staff, and you know, with the dynamics

96
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 1: of it, and to bring in a person big personality

97
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 1: like that, you know, some first time head coaches might say,

98
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 1: you know, I don't want to you know, he may

99
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:10,159
Speaker 1: be too much of a personality. You obviously weren't afraid

100
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 1: of that role. No. I think that that's the job

101
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:15,919
Speaker 1: of a leader is to be able to lead and

102
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 1: communicate and build relationships with you know a lot of

103
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 1: good people on your staff, different people. You know, some

104
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 1: might be a little bit more timid, some might be

105
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:28,480
Speaker 1: a little louder. Same thing when you're looking for players. Um,

106
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 1: I think if you can develop good relationships and build

107
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:35,159
Speaker 1: trust and be a good communicator, that you can deal

108
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:38,920
Speaker 1: with anybody. UM. But I'd say, look, when we were

109
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,680
Speaker 1: hiring a staff, there's a lot of people involved in that.

110
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 1: So when we interviewed some of the defensive coordinators, I'd say, wink.

111
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:50,159
Speaker 1: There was I don't know seven or eight people involved

112
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:54,600
Speaker 1: in that. On zoom meetings asking questions. Jerome Henderson was

113
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 1: involved in that, tryer, Bobby Johnson, guys that were already

114
00:05:58,080 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 1: on the staff. Because I think it's important not one

115
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 1: per sinking. You know, for example, there was a yeah

116
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 1: that's all right, yeah, brilliant. At this point, what are

117
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:14,839
Speaker 1: the most significant thing or things that you've learned about Daniel? Um,

118
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:17,159
Speaker 1: he wants to be good, it wants to be coached.

119
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:21,360
Speaker 1: I'd say he's he's tough on himself, which is good

120
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 1: and bad for a quarterback too, because you've gotta be

121
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:25,040
Speaker 1: able to move on to the next play rather quickly.

122
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 1: Since you touched the ball on every play. Ask a

123
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 1: lot of good questions. It's been out here on the field.

124
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 1: I think he's improved since since we've been here. UM,

125
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:40,160
Speaker 1: I say fundamentally understanding what we want to try to do, um,

126
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 1: and just try to bring out the best in him.

127
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:44,159
Speaker 1: And I think he's you know, he wants to be

128
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 1: as good as he can be for this football team. UM.

129
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:49,840
Speaker 1: Obviously he has had a you know, kind of up

130
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:55,480
Speaker 1: and down first few seasons. UM, but you can just it.

131
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,040
Speaker 1: It takes everybody. You know, you see the growth of

132
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 1: some of these young quarterbacks from your one year two

133
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 1: to year three to year four that have consistency and

134
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 1: system ad playmakers around him, UM, entire team. I think, look,

135
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 1: we we gotta try to work towards that the best

136
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 1: we can. Personally, that decision you mentioned that, Yeah, yeah,

137
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 1: I mean I'll keep those personal conversations personal, um in

138
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 1: terms of dealing with the players in respect to that,

139
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 1: but I think we have a good relationship. Um. And Look,

140
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 1: those decisions and those conversations, whatever they are, whether it's

141
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 1: that or you're releasing a player, you're cutting down on

142
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 1: a player's play time, or you're adding players times, those

143
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 1: will always be personal to me, personal to me and

144
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 1: the player. But he's a pro conversation is that though

145
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 1: in a way, dude is Hey, they don't have they

146
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 1: don't they're not fully invested in me. Yeah, I just

147
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 1: think you're honest, Jordan, with the player or the person

148
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 1: in the organization that you're dealing with, And UM, I

149
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 1: think you have mutual respect and and that's how those

150
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:08,560
Speaker 1: conversations go. Here the other day, Yeah, you know I have.

151
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 1: I haven't. I've known coach obviously from being in the

152
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 1: league for a while. I got to talk to him

153
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:16,880
