1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:03,520
Speaker 1: So we're on day three. Two good days of work,

2
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:09,120
Speaker 1: a lot of competition, a good tempo. Uh, look forward

3
00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:12,719
Speaker 1: to going out there today. Another i'd say important situation

4
00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:14,840
Speaker 1: where it's a little bit third and longer. There will

5
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:17,160
Speaker 1: be a lot of different looks to deal with and uh,

6
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:20,000
Speaker 1: put the guys in some stressful spots, particularly the offense,

7
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:23,080
Speaker 1: and and try to have a good day. Do you

8
00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:25,440
Speaker 1: have any more you joker songs to play during world?

9
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:31,160
Speaker 1: Could be yeah, it could be um, yeah, a fard

10
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:33,720
Speaker 1: you do that? Oh, we did it in the spring too.

11
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:36,720
Speaker 1: You know, we play a bunch of music. And uh,

12
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:39,800
Speaker 1: it was one of the songs. You know, he sent

13
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:42,279
Speaker 1: me songs here and there throughout the offseason. I'd ask

14
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:46,280
Speaker 1: him for some songs and some I'd like better than others,

15
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:50,320
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, talented guy. And I'm kind of curious.

16
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:53,239
Speaker 1: Do you have an alignment reason for how you structuring

17
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 1: these practice? This first scene on the short already age

18
00:00:56,880 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 1: the third medium is worth yeah, observant. So so one

19
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 1: it's areas that you need to work on. UM red

20
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:09,959
Speaker 1: zone is a really important area in terms of scoring

21
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:14,120
Speaker 1: the football and then stopping and creating field goals. UM

22
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:17,760
Speaker 1: area definitely we work on. It also helps players coming

23
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:20,560
Speaker 1: back from being down. You know, thirty forty days of

24
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:23,040
Speaker 1: working in the offseason and you're not running, you know,

25
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 1: twenty go routes are covering posts or deep crossers and

26
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:29,199
Speaker 1: things like that. And then usually on like a third

27
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:32,119
Speaker 1: and two to five day, it's a lot shorter routes

28
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 1: to your running utes at the sticks or you running

29
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 1: shallow crossers or things like that. So some of the

30
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 1: running kind of the ramp up here and I think

31
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 1: helps those guys. Um today it will be a little

32
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:46,399
Speaker 1: bit longer. Again, I think trying to put players in

33
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 1: stressful situations that practice is important. That's why you practice,

34
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 1: and then you learn from it. You move on and

35
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 1: see if you can fix the things you need to fix.

36
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 1: So that's that's kind of what we're doing. I say,

37
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 1: the next day is kind of fringe area, you know,

38
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 1: in that area, and then we got a little day

39
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 1: off and then we'll start with pads and that will

40
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 1: really be a first and second down day where we

41
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 1: can kind of get after it in a a running game

42
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:19,359
Speaker 1: and really start playing real football if you will. The offensive. Yeah,

43
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:23,120
Speaker 1: so it wasn't anything like they made a mistake or

44
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:25,800
Speaker 1: anything like that I think that you need to be

45
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 1: at your best when you're tired. You know, that's a

46
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 1: lot of games come down to the fourth quarter in

47
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 1: this league, and when you're tired, you know, you maybe

48
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,360
Speaker 1: you're not concentrating or focusing as much as you need to.

49
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 1: So you know, it's kind of short sprints there, and

50
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:40,960
Speaker 1: then put them right back on the line of scrimmage,

51
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 1: call to play quick, get lined up, make sure they

52
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 1: know who's in the in the game, and and everybody's operating,

53
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 1: you know, when they're tired. It wasn't like it was

54
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 1: forty sprints or anything like that, but still a short,

55
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 1: quick sprint, Uh, get their wind up a little bit,

56
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 1: and then get them out there to play and operate

57
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 1: and execute a play with it almost like simulating, you know,

58
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:00,519
Speaker 1: if you have a forty yard play on the field,

59
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 1: you know, any of til it's like they all gotta

60
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 1: run down and you don't. Yeah, and we'll do that

61
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:06,519
Speaker 1: too once we start moving the ball and actually you

62
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 1: start getting into first and second right now, it's just

63
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 1: situational football where we're just calling it and playing the game.

64
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 1: We'll do that. But I just always saw it, and

65
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 1: I talked to some you know some some really good

66
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 1: coaches in the off season, try to improve myself. Ask

67
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:21,799
Speaker 1: him a lot of questions, is you know you run

68
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 1: sprits at the end of practice and you come up

69
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 1: and you break it down and there's nothing else going

70
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 1: on after that. So doing a little bit of that

71
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:29,959
Speaker 1: before the practice ends, and then putting them in a situation,

72
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:31,920
Speaker 1: whether it be a last play on the goal line,

73
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 1: a big fourth down, you know, seventeen seconds left at

74
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 1: the eighteen yard line in the red zone, and try

75
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 1: to have them do it when they're tired. UM. And

76
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 1: I think that's important. UM. I've keep that. I keep

77
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 1: that private. I try to do it every year out

78
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 1: of respect to the people that but I would say

79
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 1: some very successful people, um, and not just football coaches,

80
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 1: you know, basketball coaches, business people. I think that you know,

81
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 1: you're always trying to learn and grow and be better,

82
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 1: and whether it's a leadership for practice scheduling and you know,

83
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 1: try to take bits and pieces make sure you're yourself.

84
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 1: But I think there's you know, there's so much to learn,

85
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 1: particularly for the first year like me. You know, when

86
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 1: I was a coordinator, I did it with successful play callers,

87
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 1: or when I was a position coach. I did it,

88
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 1: you know, I just try to self evaluate and improve.

89
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:18,840
Speaker 1: Um each year you had they call some of the

90
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 1: players or a couple of players. Yeah, what are you

91
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 1: hope to get out of it? Well, I think signal callers,

92
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 1: you know X and and Daniel. You know, they're relaying

93
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 1: plays in at times to the to the players, so

94
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:35,840
Speaker 1: I just put them on the other end of it.

95
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:38,600
Speaker 1: I think there's some some friendly competition fire there and

96
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 1: the guys get a kick out. There was a lot

97
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 1: of energy there at the end of practice. You know,

98
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:44,839
Speaker 1: I asked X this morning if you liked this play

99
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 1: call and um Daniel two And usually you like it

100
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 1: when it works and you don't when it doesn't. But

101
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 1: but X was pretty firm on his his call. Um.

102
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 1: But we'll do that as well. We'll have the sorry,

103
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:59,919
Speaker 1: we'll have them, you know, the walkie talkies or the

104
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 1: headsets out there for our players. And there'll be times.

105
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 1: And I did it in the spring where you know,

106
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 1: purposely cut him off on link in Kafka because it

107
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:10,840
Speaker 1: could happen in a game like that. And now they

108
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:13,160
Speaker 1: have to take control and be able to operate, not panic,

109
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 1: and all the hand gesters just go out and make

110
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:17,719
Speaker 1: sure you have a play call in mind and be

111
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:24,920
Speaker 1: able to to lead a team. He's good, Yeah, yep,

112
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 1: he was. He was cheering at the end of practice there.

113
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 1: I was getting on him this morning about like, I

114
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 1: love how he was cheering, but I said, hey, I

115
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 1: thought you you know you were down how good defensive

116
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 1: guys were pretty upset that. Yeah. I just try to

117
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 1: tell these guys, do not worry about the rest. They

118
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:43,920
Speaker 1: got a job to do. It's hard enough. You know,

119
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:46,840
Speaker 1: one side wins one time. It's that's that's the competitive

120
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 1: nature that you're trying to build within your team, you know,

121
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:53,159
Speaker 1: with within the groups and within the players, and um,

122
00:05:53,200 --> 00:06:00,920
Speaker 1: you know what's continue to try to build that person moment. Yeah,

123
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 1: well Cadarius has been back, um, and I have confidence

124
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:06,479
Speaker 1: in Slay you know, I know, you know, we we

125
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 1: all said he had a couple of drops out there.

126
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:11,159
Speaker 1: But that's what practices is for. UM. Again, we're in

127
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 1: the second day, so you know, there's a lot of

128
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 1: mistakes that are gonna be made, some physical, some mental.

129
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 1: And that's why you have coaches. You hire so many

130
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:21,719
Speaker 1: coaches on a on a football team is you know,

131
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 1: coaching is technique and fundamentals and figuring out reasons why

132
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 1: it's easy to come back and the player comes back

133
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:30,160
Speaker 1: and say, hey you need to block this guy, you

134
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 1: need to catch the ball. But you know, find out

135
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 1: the details, coach it up. He's worked real hard. He'll

136
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 1: continue to work and and and he'll get reps throughout camp.

137
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 1: You know, we're just we're working with the guys, you

138
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 1: know one Dell and Katie right now and and Kenny

139
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 1: it with that first group. Now, how that goes, we'll see.

140
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 1: We're in day two responding better. Uh from a mental

141
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:53,480
Speaker 1: standpoint after he dropped, I know what that used to you?

142
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:58,359
Speaker 1: He's a yeah, no, he's Look, that's that's part of

143
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:01,479
Speaker 1: coaching as well to not just again telling a guy

144
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:04,159
Speaker 1: what route to run or what adjustment to make. It's

145
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:07,719
Speaker 1: you know, getting to know the person and what makes

146
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 1: them tick. To um, how do they respond to maybe

147
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 1: negative criticism, how do they spond positive criticism? Each player

148
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 1: is different because there are different people, and you better

149
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 1: figure out what makes them tick. Each person. You're gonna

150
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 1: have ups and downs. Everybody reacts. I mean you me,

151
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 1: my kid like, everybody reacts different. My oldest kid reacts

152
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 1: different than my youngest kid. And if you don't know that,

153
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 1: you treat them all the same. I don't. I think

154
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 1: you're doing the disservice. So, uh, Darris is in a

155
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 1: good spot. Again, there's dropping a ball and throwing a

156
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 1: bad pass. That's so easy for everybody to see. Um,

157
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 1: and it's right there in the open. But how you responding? Man?

158
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 1: I believe right at the end we had a call

159
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 1: it period where he came down and ran a little

160
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 1: shallow and Daniel scrambled out and he made a big place.

161
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 1: So being able to respond to that is important. You

162
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:55,240
Speaker 1: tell us that drops a bought a practice, But do

163
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 1: you have to tell the player? Because certain guys are

164
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 1: more fragile than others, do you have to tell the player? Hey,

165
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 1: I think it's I think each player is different too.

166
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 1: You know some some people might not say one word

167
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 1: to him. Some people will say keep your head up.

168
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 1: Other people I'll say, I don't want to say it

169
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 1: right now. But again, it's different. I mean the way

170
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 1: you treat people, oh, not just out there robots as players.

171
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 1: The way you treat people is important and you better

172
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 1: figure out what makes them go. I mean, it's a

173
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:28,640
Speaker 1: production business. We all got it. Like, nobody wants to

174
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 1: drop a ball, nobody wants to throw a bad pass,

175
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 1: nobody wants to miss a block, but it's gonna happen.

176
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 1: I mean, the last time I've seen a perfect game

177
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 1: played in football is really you know, I haven't. So

178
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:41,960
Speaker 1: how you respond to bad things, it's just as important

179
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 1: as how you respond to good things. Did you want

180
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:50,360
Speaker 1: the ball out quicker from Daniel there? Or is that

181
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 1: something that receivers do? No? I think the play with

182
00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:58,720
Speaker 1: I'm animated a lot. I know you guys, I mean

183
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 1: there's music and you can't know what I'm saying. But sometimes,

184
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:02,400
Speaker 1: you know, we have to do a good job of

185
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:05,439
Speaker 1: keeping guys off the ground too, and not grabbing jerseys

186
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 1: both sides, you know, whether it's offensive lineman grabbing the

187
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:11,960
Speaker 1: got we gotta mit play, make sure we're playing smart.

188
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:14,559
Speaker 1: There was a guy after practice you need it's some

189
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:19,680
Speaker 1: medical attention. There was it and he was he is okay. Um, yeah,

190
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 1: I'd say there's a there was a couple of guys.

191
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:26,319
Speaker 1: Um and you'll see we'll probably have a few guys

192
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:29,440
Speaker 1: down today relative to you know, heat and hydration and

193
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:31,680
Speaker 1: just to be smart on that end. But he's he's good.

194
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 1: It was it was fleee John Okay, Darius. What did

195
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 1: you learn about him? You know, Um, he's a good person.

196
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:48,080
Speaker 1: He cares about his teammates, um, and we have good

197
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:52,600
Speaker 1: communication him and I. He he likes football. I think

00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 1: he's a very loyal, a loyal guy. And you gotta

200
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:02,160
Speaker 1: you gotta build truck um with Katie. And he had

201
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 1: to build trust with me. And uh, really no different

202
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 1: than a lot of guys who trust is probably one

203
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 1: of the most important things in any relationship you can build.

204
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:11,679
Speaker 1: But I've been I've told you from day one, I've

205
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 1: been very happy with Katie, his approach, how he is

206
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:17,839
Speaker 1: as a person first and foremost, because that's what matters

207
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 1: to me. And then he's been uh, you know, we've

208
