Speaker 1: Jake, What are you okay? He wasn't kicking out.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, he's fine.
Speaker 1: Just with our three day practices, we have one go
Speaker 1: the first day, one go the third day, and they
Speaker 1: both go the second day.
Speaker 2: So we did it that way. With today being the.
Speaker 3: Least ropst it was gonna be somewhat of anased to
Speaker 3: figure out how to get the quarterbacks reps obviously without
Speaker 3: Perdy today was it Lily's or how how did.
Speaker 2: You in your mind kind of like that down?
Speaker 1: We just rotated the ones each period, so they just
Speaker 1: switched off each period who went with them and the
Speaker 1: next guy took the twos.
Speaker 3: When when party is like a full go and is
Speaker 3: practicing all the time, he's still envision having four quarterbacks.
Speaker 2: Yep, you've never done that.
Speaker 3: I don't believe you've ever done that before.
Speaker 2: I know you touched on this a little bit yesterday.
Speaker 3: But why did Is it just because Brandon Allen you
Speaker 3: think this housed enough to stay?
Speaker 1: Yeah? I mean we wanted three and OTAs we had
Speaker 1: two for the first parts, we want added a three
Speaker 1: and we really liked him so far, so you know,
Speaker 1: we don't no one to just get rid of guys.
Speaker 2: We liked.
Speaker 1: Usually first practice guys are knocking a little vest off.
Speaker 3: How did it feel that there? Did it feel like
Speaker 3: there was still a lot of that or a little bit.
Speaker 2: Better than before I thought it was. I didn't think
Speaker 2: it was bad. I thought it was a good first day.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: We go real light today with the reps and just
Speaker 1: how long we're out there, so it's it's a pretty
Speaker 1: easy practice. My big my biggest thing is guys just
Speaker 1: not being too eager because everyone's so gun ho and
Speaker 1: you don't have the pads on yet, so just trying
Speaker 1: our tails off to keep everyone off the ground. And
Speaker 1: I think we did that pretty good for the most part.
Speaker 3: We're got defensive end starting position opposite posha.
Speaker 2: Is it a competition between Drake and Leeland Ferrell? And
Speaker 2: coming out of spring?
Speaker 1: How did both of those guys look?
Speaker 2: They look good.
Speaker 1: But you know, the way these springs have been the
Speaker 1: last couple of years, we don't really do much with
Speaker 1: the O line and D line, so I don't really
Speaker 1: stack them that way. I mean, I go into their
Speaker 1: new guys who haven't been at that spot recently, you know,
Speaker 1: that's in the last few years. I go into training
Speaker 1: camp with a very open mind. So they all did
Speaker 1: a good job improving and stuff and get into shape
Speaker 1: and OTAs, and now we'll see where they're at out
Speaker 1: here over the next few days. And nothing really counts
Speaker 1: until we get the pads on and start doing a
Speaker 1: little more football.
Speaker 3: How how efficiently does Tray seem or comfortable does he
Speaker 3: seem running the offense?
Speaker 2: Great?
Speaker 1: I mean it's third year calling the plays, third year
Speaker 1: getting out of the huddle, so it's for all of them.
Speaker 2: It's always easier. But he's doing awesome at it. I
Speaker 2: was with Christian. You just protect keep him out of teams.
Speaker 2: That just dialing back a little bit. Yeah, we have
Speaker 2: a few plans with some guys.
Speaker 1: I know, we don't want him to go three days
Speaker 1: in a row here to start, So that was the
Speaker 1: decision today.
Speaker 2: And the wide receivers, you know, they post a little
Speaker 2: on social media and they get after it after plays
Speaker 2: a little bit. Do you enjoy that, the little competition
Speaker 2: they have. Yeah, I don't mind.
Speaker 1: I mean that's usually what people do in sports, and
Speaker 1: it makes a little bit more fun. And those guys
Speaker 1: are tight and competitive, and I just as long as
Speaker 1: they're doing their jobs out there, I would do the
Speaker 1: same thing, just as long as doesn't take away from
Speaker 1: them getting better at stuff.
Speaker 3: I got a pretty good play to break up the
Speaker 3: deep past to Danny. That's what are you seeing out
Speaker 3: of him as he enters your threat.
Speaker 1: That was a hell of a play because I thought
Speaker 1: Danny beat the corner on it. I'm curious to see
Speaker 1: the film how he got over there so fast, because
Speaker 1: I was told that we looked him off pretty good,
Speaker 1: but he got there fast. So that was impressive play.
Speaker 1: And I'm curious to see how it all unfolded. Any
Speaker 1: agree as a guy that you I think want to
Speaker 1: see more of its year.
Speaker 3: Just I know it's the first day in camp, but
Speaker 3: does it look like he's put in?
Speaker 1: I can tell he's in shape, you know, But you know,
Speaker 1: I can't decide. I mean, that's what you can tell
Speaker 1: on one day, is whether in shape or not. But
Speaker 1: we'll see how he handles this whole camp. He thought
Speaker 1: he had a pretty good OTAs took a step forward
Speaker 1: and came back in good shape. And we'll see as
Speaker 1: he gets more reps and more opportunities and stuff, how
Speaker 1: much better he's gone.
Speaker 2: Law looked like he's probably more waged. Is that what
Speaker 2: you wanted to see from him.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Ken Law has been unbelievable, just in fact that
Speaker 1: I mean, you guys see how he looks, and he's
Speaker 1: just he's gone a full year with no setbacks, and
Speaker 1: so to get through OTA's with that, and then our
Speaker 1: forty days away it continued and as that happens, he
Speaker 1: just keeps looking better and better. And I mean everyone
Speaker 1: knows the specimen that he is, so now it's hopefully
Speaker 1: that can continue through training camp, so we can really
Speaker 1: tie that to football and if he can do that
Speaker 1: and stay healthy with the way he's worked and the
Speaker 1: way his talent is in his mindset, Feiel, it's a
Speaker 1: matter of time for him.
Speaker 3: Want to give extra reps to just because he hasn't
Speaker 3: been on the field very.
Speaker 1: Much, I mean theoretically, yeah, just because I mean, that
Speaker 1: guy just keeps playing football, he's going to get really good.
Speaker 1: But you know, we don't we don't go extra because
Speaker 1: the more you go extra with someone, the higher chance
Speaker 1: of him getting hurt.
Speaker 2: And that has been what's held him back. So we're
Speaker 2: trying to be as smart with him as possible.
Speaker 1: But for the first time in a couple of years,
Speaker 1: he's been healthy enough to get himself in a position
Speaker 1: to where he can be treated, you know, like everyone else,
Speaker 1: just getting normal reps and everything. And if he is
Speaker 1: able to do that, I think things will work out
Speaker 1: very well for him.
Speaker 2: What's your post practice routine?
Speaker 1: Do you like to watch all the individual drills? Do
Speaker 1: you have time for that or do you lean on
Speaker 1: your coaches to watch them? Right now, the coaches are
Speaker 1: waiting for me, so I sprint straight to hear while
Speaker 1: talking to Corey on the way to give me a
Speaker 1: heads up on any weird things you guys might ask me,
Speaker 1: because my mind definitely isn't into it.
Speaker 2: So I have that.
Speaker 1: I talk to you guys, I'll sprint back. They'll be
Speaker 1: in there waiting for me, so they'll be done with
Speaker 1: their lunch.
Speaker 2: I'll try to eat it while I.
Speaker 1: Run the meeting with the offense, which means I'll want
Speaker 1: to get half of it in. Then when that's done,
Speaker 1: I go right to the quarterback meetings, and when that's done,
Speaker 1: we go out to walk through. When that's done, we
Speaker 1: come in and walk watch walk through. They neat dinner,
Speaker 1: and then I think about watching the individuals and stuff,
Speaker 1: which sometimes I get to.
Speaker 2: Sometimes I don't that.
Speaker 1: Same feeling you have for Kim Law, do you have
Speaker 1: it for Drake Jackson and how he's come.
Speaker 2: Back And again exact same.
Speaker 1: Drake wasn't as much of the injury stuff that Kim
Speaker 1: Law had. But Drake, just as you guys know, from
Speaker 1: the end of last year, just as rookie year and stuff,
Speaker 1: had to get a much better shape and stuff to
Speaker 1: make it through the whole year. And he stayed here
Speaker 1: right when the season ended. That's why he had a
Speaker 1: great OTAs a lot of guys put in so much
Speaker 1: work and then the forty days away, they're like, all right,
Speaker 1: let me go take a break before we come back,
Speaker 1: and he didn't. He stayed here the forty days away,
Speaker 1: kept doing everything he had done since February and he's
Speaker 1: still continuing to climb.
Speaker 2: So we're excited about Brandon.
Speaker 3: I you got a hell of a catch here.
Speaker 2: I believe it was on that third down.
Speaker 3: What have you seen from him as far as his
Speaker 3: just development and improvement.
Speaker 1: Coming in to this year, Just how much more he
Speaker 1: mature is just as a as a player each year,
Speaker 1: I mean every year he's gotten better. Brandon came in
Speaker 1: with a lot of talent. You know, he only had
Speaker 1: two years in college, just coming off from JC and stuff,
Speaker 1: so he was a little row in a couple of things,
Speaker 1: especially going through that COVID year with where we really
Speaker 1: just met him on day one training camp and then
Speaker 1: he got hurt. So he's always been trying to catch
Speaker 1: back and each year he's done so much better.
Speaker 2: And last year I thought was the best year that
Speaker 2: he's had. And usually know.
Speaker 1: How they react to that based off the offseason, and
Speaker 1: he's been obsessed with this offseason with football. You can
Speaker 1: tell he enjoy always talking about it, he en always
Speaker 1: preparing for it, and he's truly become a pro. And
Speaker 1: three results, I think we'll keep showing what do you
Speaker 1: expect to see from your quarterbacks one day one?
Speaker 2: And what did you see from them? I just I
Speaker 2: don't expect a lot.
Speaker 1: I expect them to show us that they haven't gone
Speaker 1: worse while they were gone, which you know they all
Speaker 1: get pretty good in OTAs, and what we're expecting and
Speaker 1: what we do today is really exactly what they did
Speaker 1: on OTA one. So I expect them to come out
Speaker 1: and be clean and all their footwork clean with where
Speaker 1: to go with the ball, and just show that they've
Speaker 1: been working there forty days away, and all our guys
Speaker 1: had They had a good first day, but reps weren't
Speaker 1: high and it was pretty basic stuff and just keep it,
Speaker 1: taking it one day at a time.
Speaker 3: And a second year receivers like Bourn and Jennings take
Speaker 3: big jumps, but they wereun less crowded rosters from pass
Speaker 3: catching standpoint, probably than Danny.
Speaker 2: Have you talked to him about what does production look
Speaker 2: like for him? What does impact?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, just finding a role for yourself. I mean
Speaker 1: the roles. I know what we ideally would like him
Speaker 1: to do.
Speaker 2: Anytime.
Speaker 1: You're the fastest guy on the team and stuff. You
Speaker 1: our guy who can make defenses, defend all three levels,
Speaker 1: and if you can isolate on those routes very well
Speaker 1: and run those consistently, and when they don't honor it,
Speaker 1: we throw at you and you catch it. That's a
Speaker 1: hell of a role and if you can own that.
Speaker 1: He's got the advantage with that because of his forty time.
Speaker 1: So that's a big one for him, But we also
Speaker 1: have other guys who can run too. You also don't
Speaker 1: just put guys out there to do only one thing,
Speaker 1: so you just got to develop in everything. But that's
Speaker 1: kind of what he was born to do. But he's
Speaker 1: got skill sets to where he can be out there
Speaker 1: and everything. But he's got to get more consistent so
Speaker 1: eventually he can dominate the role that he's the most
Speaker 1: talented at.
Speaker 2: Do you get flies driving in the facility? You got
Speaker 2: a new season coming upon you? You know you have a chance.
Speaker 2: You guys have been so close the last couple of years.
Speaker 1: Like what's your mood and feeling as you get ready
Speaker 1: for this new season. I mean, I'm so used to
Speaker 1: getting ready for seasons that usually when I'm coming in
Speaker 1: times like this, I've really gotten away for forty days.
Speaker 1: So we come back a little bit early so we
Speaker 1: can kind of as coaches get the cobwebs out and stuff,
Speaker 1: and I do in my forty days away what I
Speaker 1: don't want the players to do, So coming back in here,
Speaker 1: it's more just getting into it, like getting back into
Speaker 1: the coaches, going to talk to everybody, getting everyone sharp again.
Speaker 1: I get excited for the season usually in March and April,
Speaker 1: like as you start to think of you look at
Speaker 1: your roster and you try to think of what holes
Speaker 1: you need to add in free agency, and then you
Speaker 1: think of what holes you got to add in the draft.
Speaker 1: That's when you start getting excited, when you see, all right,
Speaker 1: there's man, we do have a good team. There's these possibilities.
Speaker 1: How can we fix this? And that's what pumps me
Speaker 1: the whole time. And then you get to work with
Speaker 1: them in OTAs and then I try to black out
Speaker 1: for forty days because I know what's ahead of us
Speaker 1: for seven months and we're getting into that and we'll
Speaker 1: get I'll get in better shape and get better at
Speaker 1: talking as I go and coaching, and I know our
Speaker 1: whole team will do that too.
Speaker 2: Thanks guys,
