1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:07,040
Speaker 1: You good morning. Last when the experienced being here for

2
00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:11,800
Speaker 1: most of training camp and how you worked out in Yeah,

3
00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:14,840
Speaker 1: my hat's off to Episcopal for allowing us to uh,

4
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:16,960
Speaker 1: you know, come out here and and sort of invade

5
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:20,320
Speaker 1: their their space a little bit, are you know, also

6
00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:23,120
Speaker 1: to our grounds crew to you know, to put these

7
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:26,639
Speaker 1: fields down and and really a lot of work and

8
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:28,440
Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of man hours went into

9
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:31,880
Speaker 1: you know, getting getting us over here, um, you know,

10
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:34,839
Speaker 1: from the from the busses every day too, you know,

11
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:38,680
Speaker 1: just the timing of everything. And I just can't say

12
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:41,720
Speaker 1: enough good things about this situation. The guys have really

13
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:43,519
Speaker 1: enjoyed it, kind of getting away from our building a

14
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:46,320
Speaker 1: little bit and getting outside here and it's been it's

15
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:49,040
Speaker 1: been really good. And and we've been very fortunate to

16
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:53,640
Speaker 1: have this. All right, everything about how you guys stop.

17
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 1: First off, a tremendous football player. Got a lot of

18
00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:00,440
Speaker 1: respect for him and love watching guys like him because

19
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:02,520
Speaker 1: he works so hard at his craft, you know, and

20
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 1: he um just a tremendous athlete. But yeah, it's it's hard.

21
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 1: You definitely have to have a plan, you know, going

22
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 1: into that game and and a lot of times your

23
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 1: your basic protection rules don't exist with guys like that.

24
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:17,759
Speaker 1: You know, you're you're trying to put four hands on

25
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:20,560
Speaker 1: on him if possible. We know that sometimes you're gonna

26
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 1: have to block him one on one, and it just

27
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 1: it just comes down to that, and um, you know,

28
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 1: you try to you know, get the ball out of

29
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 1: your quarterback's hands and particularly on third down, and try

30
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:35,039
Speaker 1: to have success running the football. Whatever you can do

31
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:38,760
Speaker 1: to to sort of you know, you can't eliminate him,

32
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:40,959
Speaker 1: but but try to slow it down the best you can.

33
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 1: So it's it's fun when you play players of that caliber,

34
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 1: you know, to scheme against players like that, and then

35
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 1: obviously to watch him play. You just hope that he

36
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 1: doesn't wreck the game, um as he did in the

37
00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl this year eating on that brown.

38
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 1: You know, we've got some young sending players quite honestly

39
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 1: that that that have really kind of caught our attention,

40
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 1: cut our eye. There's there's some nice competition there with

41
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 1: you know, with Izzy and j and some of the

42
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 1: other you know, moves we can do, and so it's

43
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:19,080
Speaker 1: just a it's a tough decision. Obviously we've done this before,

44
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 1: but um, you know, Malcolm was was great for this team,

45
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 1: great for the room, great leadership here for the for

46
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 1: the time he was here, and wish him well and

47
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 1: obviously now it's an opportunity that he can, you know, uh,

48
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:35,959
Speaker 1: potentially get picked up by another team go into three

49
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 1: four this year with this defense. Over the course of

50
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 1: your career, whether you were with team the previous year

51
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 1: or not, what's been your felist at how long the

52
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:49,639
Speaker 1: cakes for any team, any defense to adjust to a

53
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 1: new system. You know, I just don't. I think it's

54
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 1: just the defense. I think the offense. I think the quarterbacks.

55
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,119
Speaker 1: I think you know, timing and skill and all that

56
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 1: can can take some time. You know, these are not um.

57
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:06,519
Speaker 1: Even though this team has been built around the thirty

58
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 1: four um, there's some there's some nuances in it because

59
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:14,360
Speaker 1: it really plays like a four down front um and

60
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:16,680
Speaker 1: and you're moving, you're moving parts around. You know, you've

61
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 1: got Trayvon and Josh who stay left and right. They

62
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 1: don't necessarily trade sides. You've got your inside backers that's

63
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:25,520
Speaker 1: kind of stayed left and right, and and so you know,

64
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:28,799
Speaker 1: understanding formations, some three or four teams will actually flip

65
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:32,080
Speaker 1: flip those outside and inside guys. So they're always strong

66
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 1: and weak, and you know it has some consistency that way.

67
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 1: But you know, it's one thing about our scheme here

68
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 1: and what Mike has brought is that they can stay.

69
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 1: They can stay on that one side and learn that

70
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 1: one side. But again there you know, the tight end

71
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 1: could be two of them, tight end could be away.

72
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 1: And then there's some details of just where the where

73
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 1: the front needs to be set and you know obviously

74
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 1: the run lanes and um the run fits and and

75
00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 1: where the safety is insert and you know, so a

76
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 1: lot of that takes time. UM, with just the details

77
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 1: and the practice of everything. Health is reasonably good. Uh

78
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 1: coup force would you expect because little circumstances. But this

79
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 1: defense to really get better to go, I think so, yeah, No,

80
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,280
Speaker 1: I think so. The more they get used to each other,

81
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 1: the more time on the grass, whether it's a walk through,

82
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 1: a practice, um, just being around each other. UM, you

83
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 1: can only get you can only get better, you know

84
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 1: training camp to I mean you're you're playing so many

85
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 1: guys and so many guys are in and out of

86
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,599
Speaker 1: the lineup that you know you're trying to see everybody

87
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:39,240
Speaker 1: and try to evaluate and make an honest evaluation on

88
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:44,479
Speaker 1: everybody one thing. I know that you know, in a

89
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:50,040
Speaker 1: great example, um, you know with Walker Little in Jowan Taylor,

90
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:53,839
Speaker 1: when when Jowan missed time due to injury, Walker took

91
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:57,679
Speaker 1: all the reps and you saw daily improvement with with Walker.

92
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 1: So it's no different with an entire unit. Right. The

93
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 1: more they spend time together and get all the reps,

94
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 1: meaning the regular season, uh, that's when that's when you

95
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 1: start seeing the real drastic improvements. Are you Are you

96
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 1: a final product in September? No, you want to be

97
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 1: a final product towards the end of the season. So, uh,

98
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 1: there's a lot of a lot of work to be done.

99
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 1: We're still two days out, But do you have any

100
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 1: idea of players that won't be available Saturday versus how

101
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 1: long we will play the guys that are available. Yeah,

102
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 1: you know, from from a playing standpoint, I definitely want

103
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 1: to see the the starters go into the second quarter

104
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:36,279
Speaker 1: again this week. I think our defense needs to be

105
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:38,800
Speaker 1: on the field a little bit more. Um. You know

106
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:40,680
Speaker 1: that they've played well in the first two games, they

107
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:43,600
Speaker 1: just haven't played long enough. Um, So I definitely want

108
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:46,360
Speaker 1: to see them play a little bit more, you know, offensively,

109
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 1: if we can if we can do the things we

110
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:50,719
Speaker 1: did last week and and sort of clean up some

111
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 1: of the execution things. Yeah, into the second quarter. Um,

112
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:57,600
Speaker 1: as far as guys that are gonna miss, I mean,

113
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 1: you know, James Robinson who has been ACTI sing lately,

114
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 1: he's he's obviously going to be out. Um, Devin Lloyd

115
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:07,840
Speaker 1: is gonna miss. Will Richardson is gonna miss h BT

116
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 1: Padar's gonna miss. Who's the other one, Darius Williams obviously

117
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:16,280
Speaker 1: he still is gonna miss. I think that's it right, Yeah,

118
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 1: oodus him out there in one of the ones he's

119
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:22,160
Speaker 1: been in team drills. What's kind of the projection right

120
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:23,839
Speaker 1: now in terms of the see like one or two

121
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:26,600
Speaker 1: steps away from full go? Or is he still being

122
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 1: you know, pre cautious, still cautious. You know you're still

123
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 1: you're still not there from a timing standpoint from surgery,

124
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 1: right and it's a shoulder, so, um, you know you've

125
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,160
Speaker 1: gotta be careful with that, especially with defensive backs that

126
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:42,159
Speaker 1: the hitting, the contact of the all the movement moving

127
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 1: parts with shoulders and different things. So it's still gonna

128
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:48,160
Speaker 1: be cautious. He's he's doing extremely well. Um, same way

129
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 1: with James, you know, kind of that same situation. We're

130
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:54,360
Speaker 1: right at that that mark where they're they're almost there, um,

131
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 1: but we still need a few more days with James.

132
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:00,279
Speaker 1: I saw him do a spin movie yesterday on the

133
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 1: one yard line. I don't know if you saw that,

134
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 1: Like what emotionally knowing what he's been first since you

135
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:06,160
Speaker 1: back here, Like what what is it like to see that?

136
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:08,920
Speaker 1: It's exciting for us as a staff because, like you said,

137
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 1: we haven't all other than him running on the side,

138
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 1: we haven't really seen him, you know, play football and

139
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 1: other than watching tape last year. So we're excited to

140
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 1: get him back out there. Um. Our defense though didn't

141
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 1: really realize he had that orange jersey on and they

142
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 1: were they're supposed to not hit him, you know. Um.

143
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 1: But it was good to see him make some of

144
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 1: those moves and cuts again. Trying to progress him slowly

145
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 1: back into back into work though it will be full

146
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 1: normal workfield for him, Like he's not gonna play in

147
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 1: the board preseason game. I well say, yeah, I don't

148
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 1: think you just go full steam ahead. I think you

149
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 1: you gradually increase his reps, you know, um, because you

150
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 1: don't want to stress his body obviously. Um. But at

151
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 1: the same time, he needs to get enough work where

152
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 1: he's you know, uh, possibly ready to go, you know

153
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 1: for Washington. If that's the case, your expectation whole, We'll

154
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 1: be ready. It's the it's the expectation. It's kind of

155
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 1: the hope that uh, you know, he can be there

156
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:06,640
Speaker 1: at that point, you know, Um, and listen. If not,

157
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 1: it's it's okay. Um, you know, we're we're comfortable with

158
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 1: with the guys behind him, and uh, you know, we'll we'll, we'll,

159
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 1: we'll go with what we have. Is he progressing faster

160
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 1: than maybe you expected it early on? You know it?

161
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 1: It is tricky with the type of injury that he had. Um.

162
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 1: I've been around offensive lineman who had the same injury

163
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 1: that bounced back fast, you know, the other guys, it

164
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:33,720
Speaker 1: takes a little time, you know, but I think in

165
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 1: his case, he's he's on track, you know. Um. But again,

166
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:40,080
Speaker 1: we have to be smart as a staff, you know,

167
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:43,560
Speaker 1: medically and as coaches to make sure that we don't

168
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:47,560
Speaker 1: have any setbacks at this uh at this time. Second issues,

169
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 1: was that a product not I stay hydrated? Was that

170
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:54,680
Speaker 1: a product you think of of not being in the

171
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 1: sun for a week or do you think it was

172
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 1: just that it was super high issue. I just think

173
00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 1: it was warm and humid yesterday. I mean it was

174
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:03,559
Speaker 1: and I think it was in the sixty seven percentile

175
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:06,319
Speaker 1: as far as humidity goes. I'm you know meteorologists now,

176
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:10,680
Speaker 1: but um, yeah, it was warm yesterday. And I don't

177
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 1: know that part, but it was. It was warm yesterday.

178
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 1: And also coming off a day off. You know, Um

179
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 1: we've seen that this year when you get a day

180
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:22,319
Speaker 1: off and you try to come back and work. But um,

181
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 1: guys do a good job of taking care of their bodies.

182
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:26,320
Speaker 1: They understand. You know, we're gonna we're playing in the heat,

183
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:29,079
Speaker 1: humidity and uh you know we play at one o'clock

184
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 1: on Sunday afternoons at the bank, so you know, we

185
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 1: got to prepare for that. Do you think tackle what

186
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,800
Speaker 1: else do you need to see? You? Yeah, you know,

187
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:42,520
Speaker 1: I mean it's it's really it's an interesting battle. Um,

188
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:44,080
Speaker 1: you know. I think I think this game will be

189
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:48,559
Speaker 1: important for both both players, um, you know, And and

190
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,719
Speaker 1: I like how Jawn's responded coming off the injury and

191
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:54,320
Speaker 1: how he's how he played last week and how he's practiced.

192
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:57,439
Speaker 1: Walkers done done an outstanding job as well. So it's

193
00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:01,200
Speaker 1: very interesting you know for us, Um, we're kind of

194
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 1: in a good spot with it because you can kind

195
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:05,560
Speaker 1: of go either way and and and the other guy

196
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 1: can be the swing tackle or or whatever. So UM,

197
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 1: I think this week will be important. And then even

198
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:13,880
Speaker 1: when we go to Atlanta and practice against Atlanta will

199
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:16,959
Speaker 1: be another another good opportunity for both of them. How

200
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 1: important are those joint practices and how much can you

201
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 1: learn from your team next week? You know, it's good

202
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:24,200
Speaker 1: for us again to to to get out of here

203
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 1: and and and go somewhere hotter um and practice at

204
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 1: one o'clock in the afternoon. Um, but it does give

205
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:35,960
Speaker 1: you a chance to to evaluate. It's it's game like scenarios,

206
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 1: you know, but under a controlled environment. And UM, you know,

207
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 1: coach Uh, you know, Arthur and I have have talked

208
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:46,679
Speaker 1: and we've discussed and and and kind of put a

209
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:48,440
Speaker 1: plan together for a couple of days that we're gonna

210
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 1: we're gonna work and and uh, and that's the thing

211
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 1: about it. We just we gotta go up there and

212
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 1: work and get some work done. They're gonna do the

213
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 1: same thing. Um. Starters get quite a bit of time,

214
00:10:57,400 --> 00:11:00,440
Speaker 1: you know, in those two days it's it's good again.

215
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 1: And and really too, there's camaraderie there because our players

216
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:06,720
Speaker 1: know their players and vice versa. We've got friends on

217
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:09,199
Speaker 1: staff just like they do. So it'll be it'll be

218
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:12,680
Speaker 1: good to get up there. No no, no life, everything

219
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:15,960
Speaker 1: will be. Everything will be the tap off. We'll go

220
00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:18,040
Speaker 1: pads one day, I think on Wednesday, and then we'll

221
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 1: be in shells the next etnmate in protection and pettils

222
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:26,439
Speaker 1: the ball out of the pickle field. Um, big strides,

223
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:28,000
Speaker 1: big improvement, you know, And that's one of the things

224
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 1: that kind of when you don't get a lot of

225
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:33,440
Speaker 1: time or you miss time, those are the things that

226
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 1: that can kind of slip right, and that's where you

227
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:39,439
Speaker 1: need the most work. But he's he's done a really

228
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:42,199
Speaker 1: good job in protection. He's got really good vision, um,

229
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:44,679
Speaker 1: especially when he has to go from left to right

230
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:48,280
Speaker 1: with his eyes and being in position to uh, you know,

231
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:52,560
Speaker 1: either block a nickel dB or a linebacker and and

232
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 1: then use utilizing him out of the backfield. You know,

233
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:59,080
Speaker 1: you saw it, I think Monday night, you know, you know,

234
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 1: at that practice and yesterday and how we use him

235
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 1: a little bit um and of course, the familiarity with

236
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 1: Trevor Um really helps. Sometimes have a lot of them.

237
00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 1: I mean we see two of them, so we saw

238
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 1: two of this week with Caroline in New England and

239
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:18,839
Speaker 1: it just seems to happen frequently. Now, you said, talk

240
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:23,160
Speaker 1: about camaraderie, but do the two coaches try to you know,

241
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 1: kind of tamp that down a little bit ahead of

242
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 1: top so you can't get to work in and also

243
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:31,079
Speaker 1: spend five minutes clear of the field. Yeah, you know it. Listen,

244
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 1: it's it's unfortunate. You know, we we as a team

245
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:37,199
Speaker 1: in organizage, we enjoy practicing against another team. I mean

246
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:40,680
Speaker 1: you do get some good work in that controlled environment,

247
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 1: but you know, we're there to work and that's the

248
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 1: communication to the to the team for me, is making

249
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:49,320
Speaker 1: sure an understanding that that's what we're trying to do.

250
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:51,960
Speaker 1: We're trying to get better as a football team. And

251
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 1: and there's no there's no place you know for fighting,

252
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:57,080
Speaker 1: and we know it's hot and these guys are busting

253
00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 1: their tail, but UM, we do the best we can

254
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:03,880
Speaker 1: to um you know, communicate that with them and we

255
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 1: just don't want any setbacks, injuries, broken hands, whatever, UM.

256
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:12,199
Speaker 1: In cases like that do you evaluate your players a

257
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:14,600
Speaker 1: little bit differently when they're going against guys that they're

258
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 1: not as familiar with than maybe at this point in camp.

259
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:19,600
Speaker 1: A guy knows the tendencies of some of his teammates

260
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:22,240
Speaker 1: because they've seen them day in and day out. You know,

261
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:25,720
Speaker 1: it's it's a little both, um. Even though we're going

262
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:28,719
Speaker 1: against each other, you know, there should be some some

263
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:33,200
Speaker 1: more anticipation with what especially in the offense and defensive

264
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:35,480
Speaker 1: line or you know, the anticipation or where the d

265
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 1: lineman is going, or the anticipation where the offensive lineman

266
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 1: is going. You want to be able to see that

267
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 1: get you know, that get off the ball, you know,

268
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:46,480
Speaker 1: even even receivers and dbs knowing it's like having your

269
00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:50,679
Speaker 1: own scouting report, you know, every day out here. UM.

270
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 1: But again, when you go against another opponent, you're you're

271
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 1: just trying to see the you know, the details and

272
00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:59,839
Speaker 1: the fundamentals of your coaching. How that translates to another

273
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:04,720
Speaker 1: other football team. You know, we see we see a

274
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:08,720
Speaker 1: certain style of defense every day. UM. Our defense sees

275
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:11,560
Speaker 1: a certain style of offense every day. It'll be good

276
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:16,000
Speaker 1: to go against two different, two different unique styles, UM

277
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 1: to kind of gauge where where the guys are and

278
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 1: how much they've retained of their of their coaching roster

279
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:25,760
Speaker 1: roster construction standpoint, when your first year coach, do you

280
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:29,280
Speaker 1: allow yourself to think that I'm gonna be better off

281
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:33,080
Speaker 1: taking younger guys who are gonna develop versus maybe a

282
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 1: veteran who's got one or two years left. I mean,

283
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:40,200
Speaker 1: it's a fine line. It just depends on kind of

284
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 1: the where you are maybe at that position, and what

285
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 1: you need at that position. Um. Obviously, if a veteran

286
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 1: player is is the guy incapable of continuing on, then yeah,

287
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:55,760
Speaker 1: you probably may want to lean towards that. But listen,

288
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:58,120
Speaker 1: you know this, this league is a young league, is

289
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 1: getting younger, um, and giving a young guy an opportunity

290
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 1: to take the bulk of the reps during the course

291
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 1: of the season. Um, just just knowing that he's gonna

292
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:12,040
Speaker 1: he's gonna get better as the season goes on. All right, guys,
