1 00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:02,840 Speaker 1: The update tomorrow morning or tonight. A lot of good 2 00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:07,400 Speaker 1: situational work, a lot of things to clean up on. Um. 3 00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:09,320 Speaker 1: But you know, for the first scrimmage, try to make 4 00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:10,799 Speaker 1: it a game like as we could. We only did 5 00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:13,600 Speaker 1: one live period, but got a lot of reps with 6 00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:15,760 Speaker 1: a lot of guys and uh go back, look at 7 00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:24,599 Speaker 1: the tape and fix what we gotta fix. Yeah, he 8 00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:26,720 Speaker 1: he just tightened up a little bit. I think it 9 00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:35,080 Speaker 1: was more of a cramp than anything. He's fine. It 10 00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:37,960 Speaker 1: was really the threes with some of the younger players. Um, 11 00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:40,680 Speaker 1: you know, they'll probably play a lot in the preseason, 12 00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:42,680 Speaker 1: and I didn't want to be the first time they 13 00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:46,120 Speaker 1: life contact on on Thursday night. So most of the 14 00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:48,479 Speaker 1: younger guys that were in there, um, you know, we 15 00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:50,919 Speaker 1: did a series with that and everything else was kind 16 00:00:50,920 --> 00:01:01,040 Speaker 1: of thud. Temple especially, there was sometimes like what did 17 00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:06,440 Speaker 1: you think of that? How the Yeah? No, I thought 18 00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:09,680 Speaker 1: I thought both eyes competed well. Um, you know, it's 19 00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:11,880 Speaker 1: good to get a lot of work against pressure as 20 00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:15,280 Speaker 1: an offensive unit. Uh, test your rules to to make 21 00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:18,760 Speaker 1: sure everybody's doing the right stuff. Um. So it was good, 22 00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:20,720 Speaker 1: and look, there was some good on offense. There was 23 00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:24,600 Speaker 1: some good on defense. They had really two around two 24 00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:27,720 Speaker 1: drives around thirty four place total. So I wanted to 25 00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:31,000 Speaker 1: try to stress those guys. Um. I think it was 26 00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:33,760 Speaker 1: one play was fifteen and the other play was nineteen 27 00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:36,160 Speaker 1: or something like that for those two unit for the 28 00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:38,959 Speaker 1: first unit, um, which was the plan going in and 29 00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:40,800 Speaker 1: you know, a little bit a little bit hot, a 30 00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:43,520 Speaker 1: little bit humid. Um, that's what we needed. We need 31 00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:48,600 Speaker 1: more of it. You know, tell the defense that don't 32 00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:53,200 Speaker 1: I mean, don't anticipate. Don't you know in practice they do. 33 00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:54,720 Speaker 1: This is still practice, you know what I mean? Do 34 00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:57,600 Speaker 1: you see sometimes were there they're really jumping something because 35 00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:00,640 Speaker 1: they sort of kind of know what's coming. Um No, 36 00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:02,960 Speaker 1: I'd say I play with play with instinct, and play 37 00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:04,520 Speaker 1: with field and go after it. You know, if you 38 00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:07,160 Speaker 1: see something, trust your eyes and and try to make 39 00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:11,320 Speaker 1: a play. Um. Defensive football is reactive football. And the 40 00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:14,240 Speaker 1: guys that can react quickly and you know, can make 41 00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:16,880 Speaker 1: good decisions and take chances when they need to take 42 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:18,920 Speaker 1: chances are usually the tough ones to go against. And 43 00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:20,760 Speaker 1: you know, I like the way they compete. I like 44 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:24,040 Speaker 1: the way they jump stuff. Uma, make sure it doesn't 45 00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:26,760 Speaker 1: go over our head. Think almost had a six on 46 00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:31,720 Speaker 1: the first play. It was close. It was close. Yeah. 47 00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:33,920 Speaker 1: What what did you think of the decision making by 48 00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:37,359 Speaker 1: the quarterbacks tonight? It was pretty good. Um, you know, 49 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:39,000 Speaker 1: I'm sure there's a few plays that they like to 50 00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:42,280 Speaker 1: have back, but overall they do a good job with 51 00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:44,720 Speaker 1: with what we were calling and trying to execute. And 52 00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 1: you know, certainly you have you know, not just those guys, 53 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:48,880 Speaker 1: but I'd say, you know, as a team a long 54 00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:50,919 Speaker 1: way ago, that's why you do these things. I was 55 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:52,560 Speaker 1: good to get the fans out there. It was a 56 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,560 Speaker 1: great support. There's a little bit different energy. You know, 57 00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:57,200 Speaker 1: you get a little bit more tired than you're doing 58 00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,440 Speaker 1: practice just because you're a little bit more hyped. And 59 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:02,440 Speaker 1: I thought was exactly what we needed in terms of, um, 60 00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:06,560 Speaker 1: the tempo of practice, the amount of plays that we had. Uh. 61 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:08,760 Speaker 1: I just think we have to keep on improving our condition. 62 00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:15,720 Speaker 1: In terms of evaluation more of your individual players where 63 00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:19,840 Speaker 1: you see in this type setting, Yeah, I think it's uh, 64 00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:22,160 Speaker 1: it's part of the It's part of the evaluation process. 65 00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:25,000 Speaker 1: Is it more important? You know? Not really? You know, 66 00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:26,880 Speaker 1: there's a lot of practices that we have that are 67 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:29,000 Speaker 1: sort of similar to this, except this is a little 68 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:30,880 Speaker 1: bit more amped up, like I said, with the fans. 69 00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,519 Speaker 1: And then you know, we try to evaluate everything from 70 00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 1: our walk throughs doing the right stuff, to the practices 71 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:39,240 Speaker 1: without pads. Obviously the practice with pads and this competitive 72 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:41,680 Speaker 1: atmosphere is always a good time to evaluate. And then 73 00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:45,000 Speaker 1: we have the preseason games. Um, you know, is it 74 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:47,640 Speaker 1: more important. I wouldn't say it's more important. I just 75 00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:52,120 Speaker 1: it's a good tool to use. Definitely want to improvement. 76 00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:58,480 Speaker 1: Daniel Day, Yeah, I thought he operated well. Again. I'm 77 00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:01,160 Speaker 1: sure there's plays that that he would want back. Um, 78 00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:02,600 Speaker 1: but I thought he did a good job with his 79 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:06,960 Speaker 1: decision making process, made some good throws, um, but certainly 80 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:08,960 Speaker 1: a lot to work on. Would you assess where the 81 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:13,120 Speaker 1: offensive line is right now? I think there's a I 82 00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:17,640 Speaker 1: think they're jelling. Um, the first unit is coming together again. 83 00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:20,520 Speaker 1: You'll get the truest test of an evaluation from the 84 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:24,039 Speaker 1: offensive line in live reps and where you can bring 85 00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:26,480 Speaker 1: a quarterback down or you can bring a running back down. 86 00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 1: But I think the guys are communicating well. Um, they're 87 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,000 Speaker 1: working together. I've still got a long way to go, 88 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:35,919 Speaker 1: just like every position, but I think they're moving in 89 00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:42,560 Speaker 1: the right direction. Play like wand deal playing a big 90 00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:46,720 Speaker 1: player earlier, but Darnay kind of came in and was untouched. 91 00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:49,320 Speaker 1: How do you do that? We can go back it 92 00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:52,840 Speaker 1: just it just depends on again, can Daniel move up? 93 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:54,880 Speaker 1: And again does it? Could he bring him down? Could 94 00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:58,480 Speaker 1: he not bring them down? Is there a fault in protection? Um? 95 00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:01,120 Speaker 1: Is there a miss hoot? Is there a site? Um? 96 00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:05,159 Speaker 1: You know, I don't overreact on those type of things. Um, 97 00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:07,040 Speaker 1: you know, we'll watch the tape and see, you know, 98 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:09,159 Speaker 1: what went wrong and what we're right. Is there a 99 00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:11,440 Speaker 1: time where you can make a note of it yourself 100 00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:12,919 Speaker 1: and and say, you know, okay, this is this is 101 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:15,560 Speaker 1: now a cause for concern? Or is that only when 102 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:16,960 Speaker 1: you get like you said to the lot of reps 103 00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:20,600 Speaker 1: in games? Yeah, I think that the best evaluation will 104 00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:22,880 Speaker 1: come when we when we play the game again. Everything 105 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:26,400 Speaker 1: is important, but when you're actually bringing down guys and 106 00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:28,880 Speaker 1: tackling and quarterbacks are alive, that's when you get the 107 00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:32,400 Speaker 1: best evaluation. What's your thoughts on the communication though from 108 00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:34,839 Speaker 1: the secondary, especially to the threes playing a lot of 109 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:38,719 Speaker 1: young guys. Yeah, again, much like that I said about 110 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:40,800 Speaker 1: the offensive line. I think those guys are making progress. 111 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,400 Speaker 1: That's a you know, particularly our defense, there's a lot 112 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:47,080 Speaker 1: of communication that goes into things. Um, the more you 113 00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:52,600 Speaker 1: play together, the more it gets better. He seems to 114 00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:55,400 Speaker 1: have drawn a lot of those. Yeah, so far, I mean, 115 00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:57,320 Speaker 1: what does that need the key to use? As far 116 00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:01,600 Speaker 1: as him being oh, he's tough to block, He's done 117 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:03,919 Speaker 1: a really good job these last few practices getting his 118 00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:07,440 Speaker 1: feet underneath them. He's got a variety of pass rush moves. Again, 119 00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:10,680 Speaker 1: he's a rookie. We'll see when the reps become live. 120 00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:12,200 Speaker 1: We all watched the game last night. There was a 121 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:14,360 Speaker 1: lot of things to correct off of that game. We 122 00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:17,080 Speaker 1: we certainly looked at that already as a as a 123 00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:19,480 Speaker 1: staff and as players and coaches in our in our 124 00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,440 Speaker 1: meeting room. Um, you know, he's a he's a good 125 00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:24,880 Speaker 1: young players. He's got a lot to work on. I 126 00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:28,279 Speaker 1: hope he draws more of them. Rule takeaway from tonight 127 00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:33,000 Speaker 1: and what we accomplished, I thought it was a competitive practice. 128 00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,359 Speaker 1: I think the guys were a little bit more upbeat 129 00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:40,200 Speaker 1: again with the it's natural with the fans out here 130 00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:44,800 Speaker 1: and the music going. But certainly there's a there's a 131 00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:47,600 Speaker 1: lot to improve on. I think, Um, I think We're 132 00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:50,760 Speaker 1: moving in the right direction, but we're ways away. I 133 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:54,039 Speaker 1: think we have to improve our conditioning level. Um, you know, 134 00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:55,960 Speaker 1: that's why we did those two long drives. And I 135 00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:57,880 Speaker 1: think everyone can get a feel for where they're at 136 00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:01,400 Speaker 1: individually but collective. Lee that will be a point in 137 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:06,200 Speaker 1: emphasis this week with Cavan. Has there been anything that 138 00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:09,160 Speaker 1: surprised you about him that maybe you didn't know coming 139 00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:12,920 Speaker 1: out of the drop. Uh, No, he's just he's a 140 00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:14,720 Speaker 1: humble guy that you know, he knows he doesn't have 141 00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:16,520 Speaker 1: all the answers. I think he realized a lot on 142 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:19,080 Speaker 1: the veterans and Drew is doing a good job with him. 143 00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:21,800 Speaker 1: He's been a good teammate and everything that we kind 144 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:23,880 Speaker 1: of research on him, you know, so far it's been, 145 00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:28,080 Speaker 1: you know, right on point on the value. You have 146 00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:30,320 Speaker 1: a plan for how you handle the preseason, and particularly 147 00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:32,920 Speaker 1: is the first game. We will talk about that after 148 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:35,840 Speaker 1: this game and see where we're at. Um, how many 149 00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:38,240 Speaker 1: kind of each group is gonna get Maybe it's an 150 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:40,880 Speaker 1: individual basis. That will be something that over the next 151 00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:45,200 Speaker 1: few days we we really iron out some of them. 152 00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:48,480 Speaker 1: Some of the plays, you know, maybe they looked disjointed 153 00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:50,680 Speaker 1: a little bit. Does some of that have to do 154 00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:55,960 Speaker 1: with you running your stuff offensively winks running the stuff defensively. 155 00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:59,000 Speaker 1: I mean you and Mike and the idea that you're 156 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:02,200 Speaker 1: not necessarily matt you up against what they're coming at 157 00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:04,080 Speaker 1: you with. You know, when you guys put together you 158 00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:08,240 Speaker 1: plan tonight, is it attacking the defense you're gonna see 159 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:10,640 Speaker 1: or you're working on more and what you guys have 160 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:14,560 Speaker 1: in your playbook. You're asking if it was like a 161 00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:20,760 Speaker 1: game plan thing. Yeah, yeah, No. Does that contribute to 162 00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:23,320 Speaker 1: some of the things that made don't match? No. I 163 00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:25,600 Speaker 1: think that's a great thing about training camp because you're 164 00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:28,000 Speaker 1: you don't game plan and you don't anticipate.
