1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:04,160
Speaker 1: Morning, Josh, I'm curious to get morning idea from you. Morning.

2
00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:07,160
Speaker 1: I curious you get an idea from you on how

3
00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:12,440
Speaker 1: your philosophy and calling a game changes from season to season.

4
00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:15,800
Speaker 1: Obviously you have to make some adjustine a week to week,

5
00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:19,520
Speaker 1: but I'm curious if there are any significant changes you

6
00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:23,079
Speaker 1: have to make from season to season, especially with no

7
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:30,760
Speaker 1: new personnel on the offensive side of the ball. Yeah.

8
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:35,159
Speaker 1: I think each each year is uh is different for

9
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:39,839
Speaker 1: multiple reasons. I think the first the first part of

10
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:42,640
Speaker 1: that is, um, you know, we spend a lot of

11
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 1: time in the offseason evaluating what we've done and you know,

12
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:51,120
Speaker 1: how we may do that better, and then also evolving

13
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:56,040
Speaker 1: in terms of you know, new ideas or things you

14
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:59,320
Speaker 1: want to try to grow your offense or your system,

15
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 1: you know, moving forward, and so there's always a new

16
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 1: element of that. I think there's the second part is

17
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 1: you know, as a I think each individual person as

18
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:15,480
Speaker 1: a coach, whether it's coaching your position, calling the game,

19
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 1: setting up the game plan, you know, figuring out how

20
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 1: you can do your job better from the previous year

21
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:27,200
Speaker 1: in terms of the things that you're responsible. And I

22
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:30,960
Speaker 1: think there's definitely hopefully growth each year in that regard,

23
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 1: and then I would say the personnel. You know, from

24
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:39,200
Speaker 1: year to year and week to week, really it's a

25
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:44,119
Speaker 1: similar conversation. Our job is to go out and score

26
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 1: points and take care of the ball, and so whatever

27
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 1: variables we have, we have to try to do whatever

28
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 1: we can with our personnel and the scheme available to us,

29
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 1: you know, considering whatever the conditions are, you know, weather, opponent, matchups, etc.

30
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 1: To try to go out there and do the best

31
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 1: thing we can each week. So from last season to

32
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 1: this season, I mean again there's there's not much carry

33
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:16,119
Speaker 1: over in that regard. I mean, systematically, we haven't changed

34
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 1: our system. But you know there's always an element of UM.

35
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 1: You know, you're going into the next season trying to

36
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 1: continue to build on your off season, your training camp,

37
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:31,960
Speaker 1: and then you get into the regular season and you

38
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 1: continue that process UM, you know, working together and trying

39
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 1: to ultimately UM, you know, arrive at the absolute best

40
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 1: way to play. So UM, this week in particular is

41
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 1: a little it's always it's exciting because there's a lot

42
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:52,639
Speaker 1: of her known relative to UM. You know, the opponent

43
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:55,360
Speaker 1: you're not sure exactly what they're going to do. You

44
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 1: might have a good idea, but it's never that way.

45
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 1: And and we're you know, we're going to get out

46
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 1: there and play, you know, a full game for the

47
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 1: first time, you know, with this new group, which is exciting.

48
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 1: At the same time, you're going to find out a

49
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,399
Speaker 1: lot about about yourself as your head into the first

50
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:18,359
Speaker 1: week and then you know, move on from there. Thanks Josh.

51
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 1: Our next question will be Evan Lazzar, followed by Bob

52
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 1: soci and to there's some gremlins in the background here,

53
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go through a new direct lines up and

54
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:30,360
Speaker 1: asking this question. Go ahead, Evan, Hey, Josh, how are

55
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 1: you doing good? How are you good? Thanks? Uh, pig

56
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 1: you back, And kind of off of Mike's question, when

57
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 1: you lose the player to retirement like Gronk, I mean,

58
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 1: I know you said the system doesn't change, but do

59
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 1: you have to change kind of your approach at all,

60
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 1: you know, philosophically, when you lose a guide that's that

61
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 1: instrumental to what you are doing in the past. Well, yeah, yeah,

62
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 1: the terminology and all the rest of that stuff is

63
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 1: Nicola said, it's the same, you know for our players

64
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 1: and our coaches and those types of things. But every

65
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 1: week we deal with challenges in terms of personnel, and

66
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 1: this happens to be you know, every year we have

67
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 1: new players on the team to begin the season as well,

68
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 1: so you never we never put you know, just put

69
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:20,599
Speaker 1: the game plan together, you know, and not to consider,

70
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 1: you know, our personnel and what's best for them. The

71
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 1: most important thing we can do as coaches is is

72
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 1: make good decisions about the strengths of our own players

73
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 1: and try to put them in positions to succeed on

74
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 1: game day. There's nothing we do that's more important than that,

75
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 1: you know, aside from teaching and in growing them as

76
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 1: players in practice and meetings, etc. But when you get

77
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:47,840
Speaker 1: to the game, the game day portion of that, you know,

78
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 1: it's our responsibility to put them in position to do

79
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 1: things that they can do well. And again, whether it's

80
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:58,039
Speaker 1: we've lost many players over many years, you know, you

81
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:00,120
Speaker 1: don't just try to plug and play and say that

82
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 1: one person is the same as somebody else who's no

83
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:06,920
Speaker 1: worder there. I would say that happens every year at

84
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 1: multiple positions. And so again the changing that goes on

85
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 1: is not in terms of the terminology, it's just in

86
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:16,480
Speaker 1: terms of you know, our strength this year are going

87
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 1: to be different than some of our strengths were last year,

88
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 1: and vice versa. We may have a weakness here or there,

89
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 1: and that's that's football. It's an imperfect game. I think

90
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 1: each team is dealing with the same set of issues

91
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 1: or um you know, unknowns in that regard, and you

92
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:33,599
Speaker 1: try to do the best you can, and then you

93
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:35,920
Speaker 1: also continue to sort that out as you head through

94
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 1: the season. It doesn't end obviously on week one. Thanks Josh,

95
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:50,600
Speaker 1: you got it right, Thanks Basic. Good morning, Josh. Good

96
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 1: morning Josh. Considering the uncertainty out of a season opener

97
00:05:56,279 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 1: and sinematics and noting that the Steelers, you have a

98
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:04,280
Speaker 1: defense that's largely intact. I've had a lot of familiar faces,

99
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 1: But how much do you study the personnel that they've

100
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:12,280
Speaker 1: required and try to project what they might do differently

101
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 1: in this game based on some of the players they've

102
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 1: added to that defense. And I'm thinking, in particular with

103
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 1: Mark Barron Keevin Bush linebackers extremely well they drafted in

104
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 1: the first round. Your thoughts that most two players and

105
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 1: in particuting in that balance between you know, what they've

106
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:31,480
Speaker 1: done in the past, but also studying the new players

107
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 1: on a defensive unit and how you anticipate what you

108
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 1: might see in the game on Sunday. Yeah, I think

109
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:44,040
Speaker 1: you you know, we obviously are familiar with those players. Um,

110
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 1: you know, whether it be through the film in the

111
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 1: season or previous years we've seen them play, whether it's

112
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:54,479
Speaker 1: in pro football or college football for that matter. I

113
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 1: think you know in this week one of the things

114
00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 1: you've got to try to do is not you know,

115
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 1: if you don't spend too much time guessing about what

116
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 1: may happen, because you could do you know, you could

117
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 1: do yourself a lot of harm in that regard. I mean,

118
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 1: what we what we know is that you know, we're

119
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 1: going to play a good group on Sunday night that's

120
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 1: really well coached. Um, you have an idea of the

121
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 1: things that they do well based on many years of

122
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 1: film study and understanding how they try to play and win.

123
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 1: And then there's always a couple of questions you have

124
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 1: that you're going to find out in the first quarter

125
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 1: of the first game of the season. You know, where

126
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 1: they're gonna line so and so up, who's going to

127
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 1: be in there? And nicol you know, are they going

128
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 1: to play this grouping? Are they going to rotate players?

129
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 1: Are they going to play three for two at some position.

130
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 1: You know, some of those things are gonna be determined

131
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 1: quickly on Sunday night. And to spend a lot of time,

132
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 1: you know, guessing. I think, you know, there's a lot

133
00:07:57,480 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 1: of things we need to do this week and prepare

134
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 1: for I think the guesswork is something that just you know,

135
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 1: adds um, you know, time to the week. So we

136
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:10,240
Speaker 1: know that there's a good group of players that are

137
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 1: going to be out there in in certain positions. Are

138
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:16,240
Speaker 1: they going to play this guy over that guy more,

139
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 1: et cetera. I think those conversations, you know, Um, we'll

140
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 1: wait until Sunday find some of those things out. We

141
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 1: know we're going to play a good defense, that's for sure.

142
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 1: All Right, Thank you very much. You got it. Um,

143
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:35,959
Speaker 1: it'd have been going followed by Mirk Jury. Hey, Josh,

144
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 1: two quick ones for you this morning. UM. Curious Jacob

145
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:41,079
Speaker 1: Johnson the pullback. What did you guys see out of

146
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 1: him during camp? And what have you like about him? Yack? Um,

147
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 1: you know he he came in with a great attitude

148
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:55,200
Speaker 1: this offseason and um, you know, and really put his

149
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 1: head down and worked hard to our off season program.

150
00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 1: And then um, continue to do that in OTA's and

151
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 1: into training camp, and um, you know, good attitude. Um,

152

153
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:14,360
Speaker 1: willing to do the things you need to do to

154
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:18,720
Speaker 1: play that position in their offense. Um, smart kids, Doudi's hard,

155
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:21,959
Speaker 1: prepares well, knows what to do. Uh. And he is

156
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:25,839
Speaker 1: ready to go, you know. And and he's company, he's competitive,

157
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 1: So you know, I think it's nothing more you can

158
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 1: ask of each player than to give your best and

159
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 1: be ready to go when your numbers gold on. I

160
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 1: think y'all's done that and look forward to continue to

161
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:41,960
Speaker 1: work with the sounds like it's a soft jay. So

162
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:46,559
Speaker 1: sorry for mispronouncing that one. No worries were you were

163
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:49,800
Speaker 1: you were? You may be surprised at because he is

164
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:52,600
Speaker 1: one of these European exception players. Were you surprised at

165
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:54,600
Speaker 1: all how much he knew and was ready to go

166
00:09:54,679 --> 00:10:00,599
Speaker 1: when when you first got your hands on him? Um, No,

167
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 1: I mean not, I wouldn't know. I I like I said,

168
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 1: I think you go in with an open mind to

169
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:08,720
Speaker 1: each new player that you meet, whether you know wherever

170
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 1: they come from. And that's what we did. Um. And

171
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:17,680
Speaker 1: really the evaluation Um, you know kind of we'll we'll,

172
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 1: we'll take care of itself as as you give the

173
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 1: players opportunities to do the things that you're asking them

174
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:25,800
Speaker 1: to do. So, UM, you often had a good job

175
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:29,960
Speaker 1: of those things when he was um asked to perform

176
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:33,719
Speaker 1: him and uh, you know, and we'll see where it goes.

177
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 1: And then I just wanted to ask you real quick

178
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:39,720
Speaker 1: about Boyer. I know how much you liked the guy. Um,

179
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 1: how did you take the news the other day that

180
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:45,319
Speaker 1: he was released? And what do you guys lose by

181
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 1: not having him in the locker room anymore. Yeah, Brian's

182
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 1: a great Um, he's a great guy, and he's a

183
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:56,560
Speaker 1: good player, and UM, you know, he added a lot

184
00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 1: to the to the team. And UM, you know, each

185
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:03,079
Speaker 1: time this year, this this time of year, each year

186
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 1: is never easy for anybody's players, coaches, UM, families, et cetera.

187
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:11,800
Speaker 1: And we all understand that's a part of the game

188
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:15,840
Speaker 1: that we're in, UM, and certainly wish him the very best.

189
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 1: He did a great job in his role um here,

190
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 1: whether that be to prepare to play for us or

191
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 1: to you know, assist the other side of the ball,

192
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 1: or just he's a professional, true professional, great person. Um,

193
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 1: and you know, and happy for him that he's got

194
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:35,160
Speaker 1: another opportunity that he's excited about too. So, UM, you know,

195
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 1: the the those decisions are made every year. I know,

196
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 1: we do what's best for the team, and excited to

197
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:47,080
Speaker 1: coach the guys we have and uh, and those relationships

198
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 1: with the players, hopefully you formed good enough relationships if

199
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:53,319
Speaker 1: those things last far beyond football. Which is which is

200
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:59,200
Speaker 1: the goal? I think Black Josh question Mike Jordan called

201
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:05,599
Speaker 1: by Mike Grief, Josh, what is the what is the offense? Lose? Um?

00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:09,079
Speaker 1: But David Andrews being declared out for the year and

203
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:11,440
Speaker 1: and sort of the piggyback off that what is Ted

00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 1: Garret Heed, Ted Harris, excuse me bring to the table. Yeah,

208
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:34,559
Speaker 1: hardly and he's you know, he's tough. Um plays the

209

211
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 1: You feel worse for the player, you know, because he

212
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:49,200
Speaker 1: loves to play and we love to have him out there,

213
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 1: but um, you know that's toughest for him and the team.

214

Speaker 1: in camp and preseason. And see Troy Brown out on

229
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 1: the practice field coaching up the guys. I'm curious from

230
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:52,559
Speaker 1: your perspective how he helped the offensive staff and how

231
00:13:52,600 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 1: you envision that going forward. Um with him, Yeah, Troy's Um,

232
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:08,079
Speaker 1: you know I had to great pleasure of coaching Troy

233
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:10,400
Speaker 1: for a few years towards the end of his career

234
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:13,440
Speaker 1: and then, um, you know, he's one of the great

235
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 1: patments of all time obviously, and UM, you know he's ah,

236
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 1: he has a wealth of conformational knowledge and wisdom that

237
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:26,600
Speaker 1: he shares with the players. Um. You know, it's almost

238
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:32,880
Speaker 1: it's difficult to um to really say, you know how

239
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 1: far that can extend because he played you know, he

240
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 1: played this game and played here. You know, he was

241
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 1: coached by our staff and you know, our in all styles.

242
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 1: So um, the value he brings is significant. And you know,

243
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:50,160
Speaker 1: I'm really happy to have him here. And you know,

244
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 1: and every day that he's been asked to fill in

245
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 1: his regard, he's he's jumped at the chance and um,

246
00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:01,240
Speaker 1: you know, continue to work, you know, any of the

247
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:04,120
Speaker 1: guys in the receiver room, its kinds of things. So

248
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 1: he's a he's really helping. Our staff really love having

249
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 1: him here. Like I said, he was such a great

250
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:14,560
Speaker 1: influence on our team and he was a player and

251
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:18,480
Speaker 1: he's extended that now as he's starting his career in

252
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 1: his crazy professional called coaching. Thanks Jeff m. Last question,

253
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 1: Phil Perry, Hey, Josh Still was just on the horn

254
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:35,360
Speaker 1: with us here and asked him about anticipation, you know,

255
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:39,280
Speaker 1: between the quarterback and his receivers, and how that is

256
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:42,160
Speaker 1: something that takes time to develop in time is not

257
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:45,480
Speaker 1: something that the receivers necessarily have had with a lot

258
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 1: of those guys missing a significant chunk of camp in preseason.

259
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:53,000
Speaker 1: But I wanted to ask you, are there certain routes

260
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:59,080
Speaker 1: as a receiver that don't maybe require as much anticipation.

261
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:01,960
Speaker 1: That might sound like a stupid question, but too, you know,

262
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:05,480
Speaker 1: the late person um, something like a go route down

263
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:08,600
Speaker 1: the field feels like it you might not need as

264
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:12,640
Speaker 1: much time to develop whatever anticipation is required there as

265
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 1: say an option route over the middle of the field.

266
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:21,720
Speaker 1: Is that way off base? I think that the passing

267
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:34,440
Speaker 1: mings and about um, timing and anticipation, trust, execution, and disappointment,

268
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:36,920
Speaker 1: and there's a lot, there's a lot that goes into

269
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:41,360
Speaker 1: all of those things, and so it doesn't really matter

270
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:45,080
Speaker 1: what route is. All of those things are in play.

271
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:50,560
Speaker 1: And so UM, yeah, we've you know, we're we're continuing

272
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:52,160
Speaker 1: to work with some of the guys that have come

273
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:56,360
Speaker 1: off of different lists and those types of things. UM,

274
00:16:56,400 --> 00:17:00,480
Speaker 1: But again, it. You know, there's there's no excuse for that.

275
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:04,000
Speaker 1: It's our job to find, um, you know what, what

276
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:07,360
Speaker 1: we what we do well now, and it's also our

277
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:10,919
Speaker 1: job to improve upon that group of things as we

278
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 1: move forward. So you know, we're we're excited about Sunday.

279
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:19,879
Speaker 1: We have a you know, really really tough task in

280
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:23,080
Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh defense ahead of us, and you know, we

281
00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:25,639
Speaker 1: have things means we have confidence in and those are

282
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:27,960
Speaker 1: the things we're going to do and we're going to

283
00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:30,640
Speaker 1: continue to work throughout the course of the season to

284
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:33,760
Speaker 1: build on those things and expand on them in whatever

285
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:36,520
Speaker 1: ways we feel like is best for the team. And

286
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:40,080
Speaker 1: that's no different than any other team. Every other team's

287
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:43,480
Speaker 1: dealing with injuries, Guys come off you know, pup, etc.

288
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:47,880
Speaker 1: Who might not have as many reps, timing gays of pactis, etc.

289
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 1: That's just a national football week. So our job is

290
00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:53,040
Speaker 1: to go out there and play well at the point

291
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:55,679
Speaker 1: of the ball and help our team win. And that's

292
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:57,120
Speaker 1: what we're gonna attempt to do this week.
