<v Speaker 1>Again. Updates here with the with these injuries. Alan Barberie

0:00:11.000 --> 0:00:14.440
<v Speaker 1>again with his hamstring. Um, we're still we're still on

0:00:14.480 --> 0:00:18.080
<v Speaker 1>a weekly basis with him. I won't practice today. Terrence

0:00:18.120 --> 0:00:22.640
<v Speaker 1>Brooks also has the hamstring. He will not practice. Brent Sellik,

0:00:22.720 --> 0:00:25.720
<v Speaker 1>who as I mentioned on Monday, has the rib. We're

0:00:25.720 --> 0:00:28.520
<v Speaker 1>gonna hold him today, but should be good for the game.

0:00:28.840 --> 0:00:31.880
<v Speaker 1>And then Camu same thing with his hamstring. Uh well,

0:00:32.080 --> 0:00:34.200
<v Speaker 1>we'll hold him from practice. Everybody else will be good,

0:00:34.320 --> 0:00:37.720
<v Speaker 1>good to go. Do you have a roster rub yet? Uh?

0:00:37.800 --> 0:00:41.760
<v Speaker 1>Not yet? Well, what's the hold up there? You have

0:00:41.920 --> 0:00:44.760
<v Speaker 1>someone here? Further, Well, we got we got some guys,

0:00:44.840 --> 0:00:48.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, we're we're evaluating, uh, on our practice squad.

0:00:48.280 --> 0:00:50.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean you know, I mean you know Paul Turner,

0:00:51.000 --> 0:00:52.720
<v Speaker 1>you know Aaron Gron. We got some guys that were

0:00:52.720 --> 0:00:54.600
<v Speaker 1>just kind of you know, we don't have to make

0:00:54.600 --> 0:00:57.520
<v Speaker 1>a move right now. You know, there's there's no hurry.

0:00:58.640 --> 0:01:01.200
<v Speaker 1>I don't know that, but we're looking at those guys though.

0:01:01.280 --> 0:01:04.440
<v Speaker 1>Right now. Jason Kelsey has been in the sort of

0:01:04.480 --> 0:01:06.840
<v Speaker 1>the mix on a couple of failed plays, sort of

0:01:06.840 --> 0:01:09.039
<v Speaker 1>out in space, so it's easy to see him not

0:01:09.080 --> 0:01:11.800
<v Speaker 1>getting the job done in that moment. How has he played,

0:01:12.080 --> 0:01:14.560
<v Speaker 1>especially the last couple of games, and how much do

0:01:14.600 --> 0:01:18.360
<v Speaker 1>you think is sort of lingering foot issue if it

0:01:18.480 --> 0:01:20.640
<v Speaker 1>all has affected that flint Well, first of all, I

0:01:20.640 --> 0:01:23.280
<v Speaker 1>don't think the foot has been an issue. Um, he's

0:01:23.560 --> 0:01:26.800
<v Speaker 1>he's still playing at at at a high speed. Um,

0:01:26.880 --> 0:01:28.800
<v Speaker 1>he's obviously the kind of the glue of that that

0:01:28.880 --> 0:01:31.200
<v Speaker 1>offensive line. He makes all the calls he and carsenter

0:01:31.240 --> 0:01:34.080
<v Speaker 1>on the same page. Um, you know, the last couple

0:01:34.080 --> 0:01:36.640
<v Speaker 1>of weeks, he's really he's really played. He's played well.

0:01:36.680 --> 0:01:43.119
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you know, he's probably not the UMU as

0:01:43.120 --> 0:01:45.480
<v Speaker 1>far as the size. I mean, I'm probably not the

0:01:45.480 --> 0:01:47.400
<v Speaker 1>biggest guy in the world. But he gets by with

0:01:47.480 --> 0:01:49.880
<v Speaker 1>his smarts and as an athleticism and and he's a

0:01:49.960 --> 0:01:52.520
<v Speaker 1>very tough individual. And so these last couple of weeks

0:01:52.560 --> 0:01:55.360
<v Speaker 1>he's he's really settled into to playing that center spot.

0:01:55.400 --> 0:01:57.720
<v Speaker 1>As far as that intelligence going making the right calls

0:01:57.720 --> 0:02:00.600
<v Speaker 1>and having a rookie quarterback, is that ample five When

0:02:00.640 --> 0:02:04.160
<v Speaker 1>you have a rookie quarterback knowing that Jason Kelsey has

0:02:04.240 --> 0:02:07.000
<v Speaker 1>that kind of intangible skill set, I think as a

0:02:07.080 --> 0:02:10.000
<v Speaker 1>rookie quarterback, you you rely on him, you know, as

0:02:10.000 --> 0:02:12.320
<v Speaker 1>a veteran center to make some of the calls in

0:02:12.360 --> 0:02:15.040
<v Speaker 1>the protection. But the one thing with Carson, he and

0:02:15.200 --> 0:02:18.959
<v Speaker 1>uh Jason do a do a great job during the

0:02:19.000 --> 0:02:22.040
<v Speaker 1>week of watching film together so that they're making the

0:02:22.080 --> 0:02:24.960
<v Speaker 1>same calls together and they're seeing the same thing. So

0:02:25.000 --> 0:02:27.040
<v Speaker 1>they they've been on the same page that way, which

0:02:27.120 --> 0:02:29.440
<v Speaker 1>is which is unique to have a rookie quarterback and

0:02:29.480 --> 0:02:32.000
<v Speaker 1>a veteran center to be as as tight as they

0:02:32.040 --> 0:02:35.200
<v Speaker 1>are in making these calls during the game. Doug, you

0:02:35.240 --> 0:02:40.320
<v Speaker 1>talked Monday about the danger in trying to have Carson

0:02:40.520 --> 0:02:42.280
<v Speaker 1>think that he has to do too much, having him

0:02:42.320 --> 0:02:45.280
<v Speaker 1>do too much. So this week, you've got the most

0:02:45.320 --> 0:02:48.679
<v Speaker 1>prolific offense in the NFL coming up against you. They're

0:02:48.680 --> 0:02:51.720
<v Speaker 1>going to score point. That doesn't seem to be an

0:02:51.720 --> 0:02:56.200
<v Speaker 1>ideal situation to kind of move things off of Carson's shoulders.

0:02:56.360 --> 0:02:58.080
<v Speaker 1>He's going to have to do an awful lot fore

0:02:58.160 --> 0:02:59.960
<v Speaker 1>to win this week, right, Yeah, He's gonna have to

0:03:00.120 --> 0:03:02.160
<v Speaker 1>continue to make, you know, make the plays that are

0:03:02.160 --> 0:03:05.040
<v Speaker 1>there to be made. But at the same time, I think, uh,

0:03:05.360 --> 0:03:08.120
<v Speaker 1>I think your run game becomes a little more important

0:03:08.200 --> 0:03:11.400
<v Speaker 1>in games like this. I think, uh, you know, um, yeah,

0:03:11.400 --> 0:03:14.040
<v Speaker 1>you're right. Atlanta's offense is uh, you know, one of

0:03:14.080 --> 0:03:16.520
<v Speaker 1>the top offenses in the National Football League obviously, and

0:03:16.800 --> 0:03:20.000
<v Speaker 1>they're playing extremely well. So anytime you can sort of

0:03:20.000 --> 0:03:22.640
<v Speaker 1>play keep away in time of possession and things like that,

0:03:23.120 --> 0:03:27.000
<v Speaker 1>UM can help you. UM. You know, Um, does it

0:03:27.080 --> 0:03:29.040
<v Speaker 1>work out that way all the time? No, it doesn't,

0:03:29.080 --> 0:03:31.880
<v Speaker 1>but those are those are things that uh, um as

0:03:31.880 --> 0:03:34.240
<v Speaker 1>we put our game plans together and the personnel and

0:03:34.280 --> 0:03:37.040
<v Speaker 1>everything we look at, you know, we take into that consideration.

0:03:38.720 --> 0:03:40.640
<v Speaker 1>They're with the midpoint of the season. I'm wondering, what

0:03:40.720 --> 0:03:42.240
<v Speaker 1>do you think some of the most important things that

0:03:42.280 --> 0:03:44.760
<v Speaker 1>Carson has learned about life in the NFL through sort

0:03:44.760 --> 0:03:47.680
<v Speaker 1>of eight games. I think I think one is you know,

0:03:48.120 --> 0:03:50.680
<v Speaker 1>learning learning the speed of the game. UM. I think

0:03:50.720 --> 0:03:53.720
<v Speaker 1>he also learns that each game is different, it's unique,

0:03:54.200 --> 0:03:57.640
<v Speaker 1>has its own set of circumstances. UM. I also think

0:03:57.680 --> 0:04:00.320
<v Speaker 1>he realizes how hard it is to win and National

0:04:00.320 --> 0:04:03.880
<v Speaker 1>Football League, and when you do win, how rewarding it

0:04:04.000 --> 0:04:06.440
<v Speaker 1>is um due to the fact that the preparation that

0:04:06.480 --> 0:04:12.000
<v Speaker 1>goes into the week. UM. I think Two, he's learning

0:04:12.160 --> 0:04:15.600
<v Speaker 1>learning situational football a little bit, you know, UM, where

0:04:15.640 --> 0:04:17.920
<v Speaker 1>maybe in college you don't have to consider as much

0:04:18.480 --> 0:04:21.880
<v Speaker 1>of that where here it's it's everything, and um it

0:04:21.960 --> 0:04:26.240
<v Speaker 1>can it can uh uh really really affect you offensively.

0:04:26.240 --> 0:04:30.080
<v Speaker 1>So he's learning about situations and and um, you know,

0:04:30.160 --> 0:04:32.320
<v Speaker 1>just just how to how to manage everything. He's done.

0:04:32.560 --> 0:04:34.400
<v Speaker 1>One thing he has done well is is the things

0:04:34.440 --> 0:04:37.640
<v Speaker 1>that we've asked him to do from managing our offense

0:04:37.800 --> 0:04:41.240
<v Speaker 1>during the game, he's handled extremely well. And so from

0:04:41.279 --> 0:04:44.800
<v Speaker 1>that standpoint, um, you know, very comfortable going forward with

0:04:45.600 --> 0:04:47.719
<v Speaker 1>the things he's learned and the things we've been able

0:04:47.760 --> 0:04:49.680
<v Speaker 1>to give him, you know, going going forward the next

0:04:49.680 --> 0:04:54.920
<v Speaker 1>eight weeks, Y bringback four times Candida one of those

0:04:54.920 --> 0:04:57.560
<v Speaker 1>passes to hear what you can get a handle? What

0:04:57.680 --> 0:05:00.359
<v Speaker 1>were you able to assess when looking at them and

0:05:00.400 --> 0:05:02.560
<v Speaker 1>talking to both of them, bus doesn't disconnect there that

0:05:02.600 --> 0:05:05.840
<v Speaker 1>they weren't even promoting the closed Yeah, you know, those

0:05:05.880 --> 0:05:10.360
<v Speaker 1>are those are situational things where we need to you know,

0:05:10.440 --> 0:05:12.279
<v Speaker 1>as coaches and myself, we need to make sure that

0:05:12.279 --> 0:05:14.479
<v Speaker 1>they're working those things in practice, those types of routes

0:05:14.480 --> 0:05:16.480
<v Speaker 1>in practice, whether it be a back shoulder throw or

0:05:16.800 --> 0:05:19.800
<v Speaker 1>a fade over the top throw, putting our guys in

0:05:19.920 --> 0:05:23.680
<v Speaker 1>those uh in those unique situations, uh to be able

0:05:23.720 --> 0:05:26.120
<v Speaker 1>to handle that during the game. Some of it is uh,

0:05:26.279 --> 0:05:29.240
<v Speaker 1>just just those two again just working together. I mean

0:05:29.320 --> 0:05:32.640
<v Speaker 1>that's the bottom line, Um, understanding the leverage or the defender,

0:05:32.920 --> 0:05:34.760
<v Speaker 1>whether I need to make that back shoulder throw or

0:05:34.800 --> 0:05:37.080
<v Speaker 1>I can throw it over the top, or if it's covered,

0:05:37.080 --> 0:05:39.440
<v Speaker 1>I look for my second and third you know option

0:05:39.520 --> 0:05:43.040
<v Speaker 1>on the on the route. So again, continue to U

0:05:43.279 --> 0:05:45.840
<v Speaker 1>as coaches, we continue to teach it. I teach it.

0:05:46.360 --> 0:05:48.760
<v Speaker 1>I teach it in a way that's understandable, and uh

0:05:49.000 --> 0:05:51.040
<v Speaker 1>we try to we try to correct it during a weekend.

0:05:52.160 --> 0:05:56.560
<v Speaker 1>Not Ryan. You know, two gentleman's coats at them. Yeah,

0:05:58.200 --> 0:06:02.080
<v Speaker 1>well obviously they're both playing extra uh extremely well right now.

0:06:02.120 --> 0:06:07.120
<v Speaker 1>And Matt's uh, he's done an outstanding job this whole season. Um,

0:06:07.320 --> 0:06:11.520
<v Speaker 1>just the way he's allowing the game itself just to

0:06:11.600 --> 0:06:14.240
<v Speaker 1>kind of come to him and let things unfold. You know.

0:06:14.360 --> 0:06:17.200
<v Speaker 1>They they may not start out necessarily fast, but to

0:06:17.279 --> 0:06:19.560
<v Speaker 1>gain that momentum as the game goes on and then

0:06:19.640 --> 0:06:22.440
<v Speaker 1>making play after play and it just shows up on film.

0:06:22.480 --> 0:06:25.600
<v Speaker 1>But you know, it's one of those deals where, um,

0:06:26.240 --> 0:06:29.920
<v Speaker 1>you know, kind of like the Pittsburgh game, whether you

0:06:30.080 --> 0:06:32.880
<v Speaker 1>whether you try to double the guy or you put

0:06:33.560 --> 0:06:36.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, we know sometimes he's probably gonna be singled up. Um,

0:06:36.960 --> 0:06:40.839
<v Speaker 1>you know, Matt's extremely smart and he's playing he's playing

0:06:40.880 --> 0:06:45.040
<v Speaker 1>well that way, understanding matchups. And the other thing too,

0:06:45.160 --> 0:06:47.440
<v Speaker 1>is he's not always having to look for for Julio.

0:06:47.480 --> 0:06:50.000
<v Speaker 1>He's got other weapons on that offense that he's utilizing

0:06:50.080 --> 0:06:52.599
<v Speaker 1>and and that's what's making that team explosive right now.

0:06:53.600 --> 0:06:55.480
<v Speaker 1>When you guys have struggled the way you have over

0:06:55.560 --> 0:06:59.040
<v Speaker 1>the last month as a coach with a rookie quarterback,

0:06:59.360 --> 0:07:02.080
<v Speaker 1>how import and how challenging is it for you guys

0:07:02.200 --> 0:07:04.440
<v Speaker 1>to keep things positive that you know what, we are

0:07:04.480 --> 0:07:07.320
<v Speaker 1>a good football team. A lot of players, yourself, even

0:07:07.400 --> 0:07:09.480
<v Speaker 1>Carson has spoken to the last couple of days about

0:07:09.680 --> 0:07:11.920
<v Speaker 1>we are still a good football team. How much, how

0:07:12.000 --> 0:07:14.640
<v Speaker 1>andfulant is that message going forward here this Well, that's

0:07:14.640 --> 0:07:16.840
<v Speaker 1>important to the entire football team, not only just to

0:07:16.920 --> 0:07:20.119
<v Speaker 1>the quarterback position. But again, you know, I evaluate myself

0:07:20.200 --> 0:07:22.000
<v Speaker 1>more than anything, and I want to make sure that

0:07:22.080 --> 0:07:26.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm I'm presenting that message of positiveness, of of you know,

0:07:26.520 --> 0:07:28.640
<v Speaker 1>bringing the energy, bringing the juice every day. And at

0:07:28.720 --> 0:07:30.200
<v Speaker 1>the same time, I also want to make sure that

0:07:30.800 --> 0:07:33.600
<v Speaker 1>that that I'm doing my part in teaching the offense.

0:07:33.680 --> 0:07:35.920
<v Speaker 1>When when we get a chance to teach and to

0:07:36.000 --> 0:07:38.160
<v Speaker 1>where the guys can understand and if they have questions,

0:07:38.200 --> 0:07:40.480
<v Speaker 1>we have answers for him. And and so that obviously

0:07:40.560 --> 0:07:42.960
<v Speaker 1>starts with me, and you know, I'm very critical to that.

0:07:43.080 --> 0:07:45.080
<v Speaker 1>But at the same time, I want to make sure

0:07:45.120 --> 0:07:48.360
<v Speaker 1>that the message is positive. We still are. I truly

0:07:48.400 --> 0:07:51.120
<v Speaker 1>believe we're still a good football team. And uh, you know,

0:07:51.280 --> 0:07:54.920
<v Speaker 1>eight games to go. We'll see what happens when you're

0:07:55.640 --> 0:07:59.760
<v Speaker 1>preparing for Atlanta. Obviously, Carson Wentz is focused on the defense.

0:08:00.840 --> 0:08:03.440
<v Speaker 1>Is there any thing he can take away from from

0:08:04.520 --> 0:08:07.960
<v Speaker 1>seeing Matt Ryan play from? I mean, is there in

0:08:08.120 --> 0:08:10.160
<v Speaker 1>terms of development? I was like, yeah, I think I

0:08:10.520 --> 0:08:13.600
<v Speaker 1>think guys like Matt Ryan and you know, Ben Roethlisberger

0:08:13.640 --> 0:08:16.080
<v Speaker 1>and Flacco and these guys that have their season veterans,

0:08:16.120 --> 0:08:18.800
<v Speaker 1>even Brady and you know Breeze and all these guys

0:08:18.880 --> 0:08:22.400
<v Speaker 1>that have had are having good careers and great careers.

0:08:22.440 --> 0:08:24.760
<v Speaker 1>I think I think is as quarterbacks, we tend to

0:08:24.840 --> 0:08:27.040
<v Speaker 1>look at those guys and we study and we don't

0:08:27.040 --> 0:08:29.520
<v Speaker 1>want to become that person, obviously, but at the same time,

0:08:29.560 --> 0:08:32.800
<v Speaker 1>we want to see how how they handled game situations,

0:08:32.840 --> 0:08:35.920
<v Speaker 1>how they manage the game, how they utilize their personnel

0:08:36.080 --> 0:08:39.439
<v Speaker 1>on offense, and and just just see see how that

0:08:39.559 --> 0:08:42.520
<v Speaker 1>person operates. And and I believe it's a little bit

0:08:42.559 --> 0:08:45.080
<v Speaker 1>harder obviously in season to do that. It's a little

0:08:45.120 --> 0:08:48.040
<v Speaker 1>easier out of season. But um, yeah, I think as

0:08:48.160 --> 0:08:51.240
<v Speaker 1>quarterbacks we tend to try to look at those guys

0:08:51.320 --> 0:08:53.160
<v Speaker 1>that are having success and see see how they're doing it.

0:08:54.120 --> 0:08:57.000
<v Speaker 1>You faced him two or three times, I think, Um,

0:08:57.240 --> 0:08:59.439
<v Speaker 1>what have you seen on tape now this year, Matt Ryan.

0:08:59.440 --> 0:09:01.559
<v Speaker 1>I'm talking about what have you seen in terms of

0:09:01.640 --> 0:09:04.480
<v Speaker 1>his development? You know, technically as a passer. Yeah. The

0:09:04.559 --> 0:09:07.160
<v Speaker 1>one thing I mean just he's very mechanically sounded, balls

0:09:07.200 --> 0:09:10.480
<v Speaker 1>out on time and rhythm throws and you know, um,

0:09:11.520 --> 0:09:13.480
<v Speaker 1>that's that's the key. And and of course these guys

0:09:13.480 --> 0:09:15.599
<v Speaker 1>are are are creating space for him, you know, in

0:09:15.679 --> 0:09:17.240
<v Speaker 1>the in the back end, and they're getting open. He's

0:09:17.320 --> 0:09:20.360
<v Speaker 1>utilized in his backs and tight ends true, um, which

0:09:20.400 --> 0:09:22.959
<v Speaker 1>are very effective for him, play action pass obviously, the

0:09:23.040 --> 0:09:24.319
<v Speaker 1>run game. I mean, there's a lot of things that

0:09:24.400 --> 0:09:27.720
<v Speaker 1>factor into a quarterback success. But he's allowing that stuff

0:09:27.720 --> 0:09:29.880
<v Speaker 1>to kind of happen and take place, and then you

0:09:29.960 --> 0:09:33.559
<v Speaker 1>see his games, um go on like like the one

0:09:33.720 --> 0:09:36.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, Tampa Bay game, It just everything just sort

0:09:36.160 --> 0:09:38.240
<v Speaker 1>of sort of clicking and then just you know, kind

0:09:38.280 --> 0:09:40.800
<v Speaker 1>of for them offensively, it just snowballs and they gain

0:09:40.880 --> 0:09:51.640
<v Speaker 1>they gained momentum the direction. Um yeah, no, I mean

0:09:51.679 --> 0:09:56.720
<v Speaker 1>I don't necessarily would like to drop the any quarterback

0:09:56.960 --> 0:09:59.200
<v Speaker 1>back that many times. You know. Um again it goes

0:09:59.240 --> 0:10:01.320
<v Speaker 1>back to being a run the football and and uh

0:10:01.720 --> 0:10:03.520
<v Speaker 1>and and kind of hanging your hat there first and

0:10:03.600 --> 0:10:07.000
<v Speaker 1>then the play action stuff and um. So no, to

0:10:07.040 --> 0:10:09.520
<v Speaker 1>answer the question, I wouldn't like to see it. But

0:10:10.679 --> 0:10:12.679
<v Speaker 1>I've also said too that sometimes we're gonna have to

0:10:12.760 --> 0:10:14.400
<v Speaker 1>do that. We also put ourselves in a little bit

0:10:14.400 --> 0:10:16.400
<v Speaker 1>of a bind, you know, these last couple of games.

0:10:16.440 --> 0:10:18.520
<v Speaker 1>So the passing game kind of catches you up a

0:10:18.520 --> 0:10:20.800
<v Speaker 1>little bit, but you know, still still want to stay

0:10:20.840 --> 0:10:23.320
<v Speaker 1>within the game plan manage it that way, and and uh,

0:10:23.720 --> 0:10:27.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, use that run game to your advantage for

0:10:27.240 --> 0:10:29.679
<v Speaker 1>a moment. When you talk about improving the offense and

0:10:30.080 --> 0:10:32.560
<v Speaker 1>in um in a sense of improving over the path

0:10:32.679 --> 0:10:35.880
<v Speaker 1>to division laws and what are your biggest takeaways to

0:10:36.600 --> 0:10:39.480
<v Speaker 1>fix and change offensively to hopefully come out when we

0:10:39.559 --> 0:10:41.480
<v Speaker 1>win against atlant Ups. You know, the one thing that

0:10:41.559 --> 0:10:44.199
<v Speaker 1>I look at, Um, I want to make sure that

0:10:44.320 --> 0:10:47.480
<v Speaker 1>that that things are are are uh, we're not doing

0:10:47.520 --> 0:10:49.760
<v Speaker 1>too much. We're not as coaches, we're not asking our

0:10:49.800 --> 0:10:52.319
<v Speaker 1>players to do too much. Uh during the game. I

0:10:52.400 --> 0:10:54.400
<v Speaker 1>also want to make sure that that I'm I'm putting

0:10:54.440 --> 0:10:57.559
<v Speaker 1>our guys in the right situations, making good decisions, um,

0:10:57.840 --> 0:11:00.120
<v Speaker 1>calling the right plays at the right time, you know,

0:11:00.280 --> 0:11:03.199
<v Speaker 1>And and and evaluating myself that way. Again, it starts

0:11:03.240 --> 0:11:04.839
<v Speaker 1>with me, and I want to make sure that I'm

0:11:05.160 --> 0:11:07.559
<v Speaker 1>I'm holding myself accountable as well as the players and

0:11:08.000 --> 0:11:10.520
<v Speaker 1>and um, you know, it's just a matter of of

0:11:10.679 --> 0:11:13.120
<v Speaker 1>of just doing that and then and then if we

0:11:13.200 --> 0:11:15.400
<v Speaker 1>got to scale back on a game plan and keep

0:11:15.480 --> 0:11:17.160
<v Speaker 1>things simple for our players, we're going to do that

0:11:17.280 --> 0:11:19.640
<v Speaker 1>too and make sure that they can play fast. Getting

0:11:19.679 --> 0:11:22.800
<v Speaker 1>back to DGB for a moment, is he using his

0:11:22.960 --> 0:11:27.520
<v Speaker 1>size and strength effectively? Is that something he has to learn?

0:11:27.960 --> 0:11:32.720
<v Speaker 1>Maybe I just see yeah, yeah, right, he's a young player.

0:11:32.840 --> 0:11:35.560
<v Speaker 1>He's a young player. He's also learning. You know, again,

0:11:35.679 --> 0:11:37.559
<v Speaker 1>remember we got him late in the late in the

0:11:37.600 --> 0:11:40.720
<v Speaker 1>deal here, so so he's he's been kind of behind

0:11:41.559 --> 0:11:43.959
<v Speaker 1>the teaching curve Uh, you know, he hasn't had a

0:11:44.040 --> 0:11:47.800
<v Speaker 1>full offseason yet under our under our system, so you know,

0:11:49.080 --> 0:11:51.800
<v Speaker 1>so we gotta again it falls back, you know, we

0:11:51.960 --> 0:11:53.640
<v Speaker 1>we got to make sure that we're doing the right things,

0:11:53.679 --> 0:11:56.959
<v Speaker 1>putting him in the right right situations. Um. You know,

0:11:57.080 --> 0:11:59.640
<v Speaker 1>understanding his strength. He's a great slant runner, he's a

0:11:59.760 --> 0:12:04.480
<v Speaker 1>he's an in cut guy. UM, big and powerful, and

0:12:04.679 --> 0:12:07.080
<v Speaker 1>just want to keep developing his talent because I think

0:12:07.120 --> 0:12:09.240
<v Speaker 1>he can be a dynamic receiver. How do you teach that?

0:12:09.440 --> 0:12:11.560
<v Speaker 1>How do you teach a big guy to learn how

0:12:11.559 --> 0:12:13.679
<v Speaker 1>to use his size better? I think I think it

0:12:13.760 --> 0:12:17.000
<v Speaker 1>goes back to the quarterback question. When when you're watching

0:12:17.280 --> 0:12:19.600
<v Speaker 1>guys like Matt and Ben and these guys, I think

0:12:19.640 --> 0:12:21.679
<v Speaker 1>his receivers. You look at guys like Julio Jones, and

0:12:21.720 --> 0:12:23.400
<v Speaker 1>you look at the Antonio Browns of the world, and

0:12:23.480 --> 0:12:25.880
<v Speaker 1>you look at guys that are that are you know,

0:12:26.120 --> 0:12:28.120
<v Speaker 1>go back and look at the t os and and

0:12:28.400 --> 0:12:32.360
<v Speaker 1>study them and see exactly how how they run routes.

0:12:32.400 --> 0:12:34.360
<v Speaker 1>I think I think, but again, we're in season, it's

0:12:34.360 --> 0:12:36.400
<v Speaker 1>a little bit harder to do that. So we just

0:12:36.520 --> 0:12:39.720
<v Speaker 1>have to continue to as coaches, just teach it every

0:12:39.800 --> 0:12:44.120
<v Speaker 1>day and and Uh, you know the you know, I

0:12:44.200 --> 0:12:45.760
<v Speaker 1>tell the guys all the time. I mean, you can't

0:12:45.800 --> 0:12:48.400
<v Speaker 1>substitute the hard work in preparation, and that's part of

0:12:48.440 --> 0:12:51.360
<v Speaker 1>the preparation and getting yourself ready to go. Personal didn't

0:12:51.400 --> 0:12:54.400
<v Speaker 1>have much luck with the zone reads he ran Sunday,

0:12:54.720 --> 0:12:56.559
<v Speaker 1>What do you seeing? I mean? Was it just JPP

0:12:57.080 --> 0:13:00.880
<v Speaker 1>a lot of times making great reads? Wait, he's obviously

0:13:00.920 --> 0:13:03.520
<v Speaker 1>a great defensive end. And some some of it is uh,

0:13:03.960 --> 0:13:06.079
<v Speaker 1>you know again, it goes back to the quarterback, you know,

0:13:06.160 --> 0:13:07.640
<v Speaker 1>trying to trying to do a little bit too much

0:13:07.640 --> 0:13:09.439
<v Speaker 1>and just allowing the run game to happen. Some of

0:13:09.520 --> 0:13:13.200
<v Speaker 1>it's that um and and you know again we uh

0:13:13.240 --> 0:13:15.400
<v Speaker 1>as coaches, Uh, we have to make sure that we're

0:13:15.440 --> 0:13:17.640
<v Speaker 1>teaching that right and make sure that he's seeing the

0:13:17.760 --> 0:13:20.600
<v Speaker 1>right things, and so falls falls on us to make

0:13:20.600 --> 0:13:23.880
<v Speaker 1>sure our guys are prepared that way. Thanks guys,
