It's carrot cake. 3 00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:15,560 Speaker 2: That's it. There's one there's one answer. There's no himine 4 00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:19,320 Speaker 2: harn no. But that's the only one that I'll eat 5 00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:25,440 Speaker 2: on my birthday. Do you feel man, I would say 6 00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:26,280 Speaker 2: physically I do. 7 00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:32,159 Speaker 3: Yeah, come Onstone, thank you. 8 00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:38,600 Speaker 2: Just your general impressions of yesterday, how that, how that. 9 00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:42,360 Speaker 3: Went and what to These practices are like a game. 10 00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:44,480 Speaker 3: We've we've said that, you know, there's ups and downs. 11 00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:49,360 Speaker 3: We hit some plays, they hit some plays. You know, 12 00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:51,920 Speaker 3: there's an intermission and again there's a break with special teams, 13 00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:54,520 Speaker 3: and then you you know, usually a two minute situation 14 00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:57,000 Speaker 3: at the end. So you know, we we were able 15 00:00:57,080 --> 00:01:00,120 Speaker 3: to make a play at the two minute situation and 16 00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:02,520 Speaker 3: you know, kind of the same thing. Defensively, they hit 17 00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:05,880 Speaker 3: some plays, we were able to have some good plays 18 00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:08,720 Speaker 3: and again just looking for some consistency. And I think 19 00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:12,920 Speaker 3: what they do defensively is great challenge for us, you know, 20 00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:15,440 Speaker 3: to come up here without any real practice or any 21 00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:20,840 Speaker 3: look and be able to you know, have some good 22 00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:23,000 Speaker 3: plays and again some plays that you know, we have 23 00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:31,000 Speaker 3: to improve on. But I think it's a good start. Yeah, 24 00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:33,160 Speaker 3: it's for everybody, right, It's for the quarterback to be 25 00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:35,240 Speaker 3: able to communicate and get us in the right protection, 26 00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:38,399 Speaker 3: communicate and and go. 27 00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:39,880 Speaker 2: From there and but execute right. 28 00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:41,760 Speaker 3: And I think the big thing is, you know, once 29 00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:44,400 Speaker 3: you communicate, we have to execute and the fundamentals and 30 00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:48,400 Speaker 3: you know, make corrections quickly and go from there. 31 00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:51,559 Speaker 2: Yesterday, I thought he did well. 32 00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:54,040 Speaker 3: I thought he you know, it's easy to go into blender, 33 00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:56,360 Speaker 3: uh when you're when you're seeing a bunch of this 34 00:01:56,400 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 3: stuff and and kind of scrambling and turning one you know, 35 00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:05,040 Speaker 3: less than favorable play into a you know, a real 36 00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 3: ship storm. 37 00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:06,880 Speaker 2: So I didn't see that. 38 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:10,440 Speaker 3: I thought he was able to process and we didn't 39 00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:13,079 Speaker 3: execute all the time, but I didn't see any panic 40 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,240 Speaker 3: from him. I thought he was able to communicate and 41 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:17,880 Speaker 3: get the things that he wanted and then hit some 42 00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:20,840 Speaker 3: plays because of it, you know, when we blocked him, 43 00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:23,639 Speaker 3: we were able to make some plays. And then we'll 44 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:25,280 Speaker 3: just have to try to see what happens today and 45 00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:27,280 Speaker 3: continue to go from there. 46 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:29,960 Speaker 2: It's a talented player. Did how did Will Campbell do yesterday? 47 00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:30,720 Speaker 2: In that matchup? 48 00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:32,600 Speaker 3: We had some good plays and had some plays where 49 00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:35,360 Speaker 3: he got beat inside and these are going to happen 50 00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:39,160 Speaker 3: to young offensive linemen. So you know, we're not gonna 51 00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:41,799 Speaker 3: sit and evaluate every every practice. I'll let you guys 52 00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:43,960 Speaker 3: do that, and you know we'll go from there and 53 00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:46,000 Speaker 3: just keep trying to improve. 54 00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:49,840 Speaker 2: Throw Williams upstairs during the preseason opener. What led to 55 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:52,360 Speaker 2: that decision? Do you see him being upstairs or downstairs? 56 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,639 Speaker 3: Well, there's a lot of positives to being upstairs, being 57 00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,519 Speaker 3: able to see things and being able to call the 58 00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:02,320 Speaker 3: game from there, you know, just trying to get a 59 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:05,560 Speaker 3: gauge on what's best. And you know, some some coaches 60 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:08,200 Speaker 3: or some play callers like to do it from the field. 61 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:12,000 Speaker 3: Some really like it from up upstairs. And so Terrell 62 00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:15,040 Speaker 3: is gonna probably stay upstairs this week and see how 63 00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:17,560 Speaker 3: that goes, and you know, continue to work. And again 64 00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:19,800 Speaker 3: that was a good operation that we were able to 65 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:22,080 Speaker 3: go against with Washington and to know huddle stuff. And 66 00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:26,160 Speaker 3: you know, that was a good, good first test in preseason. 67 00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:30,520 Speaker 3: The rain's gonna bail me out. You got no more 68 00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:36,440 Speaker 3: questions we technically inside out in the past with will 69 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:37,880 Speaker 3: in particular, Is that like. 70 00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:39,480 Speaker 2: A repeat thing you've seen from them? 71 00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:41,560 Speaker 3: You know the the well, let's come up with all 72 00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:44,000 Speaker 3: of them. I don't think that that's just you know, 73 00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,160 Speaker 3: the signal hymnout. We have to be firm in the middle, 74 00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,200 Speaker 3: and we have to stay inside out, and the quarterback 75 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:50,880 Speaker 3: has to transfer up into the pocket. So those are 76 00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:54,960 Speaker 3: all things that have to go hand in hand. We've 77 00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,960 Speaker 3: talked about it's hard to block edge rushers if you know, 78 00:03:57,960 --> 00:03:59,880 Speaker 3: you give them a three way go, which is inside, 79 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,080 Speaker 3: over the top of you, or around the edge, and 80 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:03,720 Speaker 3: then we have to force him around the edge. And 81 00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:06,200 Speaker 3: a quarterback has to transfer up into the pocket. And 82 00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:07,880 Speaker 3: in order to do that, you have to be firm 83 00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,080 Speaker 3: in the middle of pocket. So all those things have 84 00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:10,800 Speaker 3: to come together. 85 00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:11,440 Speaker 2: Uh. 86 00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:14,240 Speaker 3: And when they do, uh, it looks pretty good. And 87 00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:17,320 Speaker 3: then when there's breakdowns in those or or we're not 88 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:20,200 Speaker 3: helping the guy next to us and in past rush games, 89 00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:22,680 Speaker 3: or you know, we don't we don't get open fast enough. 90 00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:24,440 Speaker 2: You know, there's one thing after another. 91 00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:31,240 Speaker 4: Jalen Hawkins, Craig Woodson, what has he shown you at 92 00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:32,160 Speaker 4: the safety position? 93 00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:34,520 Speaker 3: He keeps I think getting better. I think he keeps 94 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,960 Speaker 3: learning each day some of the different techniques that maybe 95 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:41,320 Speaker 3: he didn't, you know, use as much in in in 96 00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:45,640 Speaker 3: cal I've seen him tackle. I think the special team 97 00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,680 Speaker 3: stuff was good. Thrown himself uh in there into the 98 00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:50,840 Speaker 3: fire on some of the special team stuff was good 99 00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:54,440 Speaker 3: to see. So continue to see where he's at just 100 00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:58,080 Speaker 3: from his physicality and you know, kind of go from there. 101 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:03,279 Speaker 1: Red zone offense to date this summer and besides touchdowns 102 00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:04,320 Speaker 1: where you open to see from. 103 00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:04,920 Speaker 2: That today. 104 00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,920 Speaker 3: Just know and you know, no let's say unforced airs 105 00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 3: going backwards in the red zone. If you have a 106 00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:16,960 Speaker 3: play where there's a penalty or you lose yardage, the 107 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:22,040 Speaker 3: percentage that ends in a touchdown really decreases drastically. So 108 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:24,480 Speaker 3: we have to every yard matters down there at three 109 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:28,599 Speaker 3: yard gain is a still a positive play, and you 110 00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:30,040 Speaker 3: know we have to be able to do that and 111 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:31,919 Speaker 3: get the ball out quickly. There has to be some 112 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,880 Speaker 3: precision to what you're doing in the red zone. That's 113 00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:38,599 Speaker 3: the timing is is quicker and in the windows are 114 00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:39,280 Speaker 3: much tighter. 115 00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:45,200 Speaker 4: That's yesterday about I was not sure about his readiness 116 00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:47,080 Speaker 4: for me one, did you really believe that? 117 00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:48,440 Speaker 2: Phil? I mean, you you're a smart guy. 118 00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:49,800 Speaker 3: I don't know where he went to school, it wasn't 119 00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:52,200 Speaker 3: Ohio State, but like, do you really believe that. 120 00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:55,040 Speaker 2: Do you really believe that, Phil, Are you just trying 121 00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:57,599 Speaker 2: to bait me into some I'm beating you. Okay, he 122 00:05:57,640 --> 00:05:59,120 Speaker 2: did say he wasn't sure he'd be ready for we 123 00:05:59,160 --> 00:05:59,839 Speaker 2: want a thirty dout in. 124 00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:03,320 Speaker 3: Your I don't know the context in which he said it, 125 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:05,840 Speaker 3: but you'd have to help me. I mean, he's been 126 00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:09,039 Speaker 3: out here almost every day. I'm excited to where he's at. 127 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:12,320 Speaker 3: And we'll see when week one comes. But he's gonna 128 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:15,000 Speaker 3: practice today. Hopefully he helps us in the red zone. 129 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:19,640 Speaker 3: But we can't make, you know, predict the future about 130 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:21,719 Speaker 3: week one. I just know he's gonna be out there today, 131 00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:25,760 Speaker 3: and he works hard and you know he cares, which 132 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:26,880 Speaker 3: are two important things. 133 00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:30,799 Speaker 4: Speaking of context, bog Downing had a quote about stuff 134 00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:32,880 Speaker 4: the other day. I'm wondering you can get out some context. 135 00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:35,000 Speaker 4: So the big thing with him is I'll do my best. 136 00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:36,920 Speaker 3: I'll try to let Tom speak for himself, but I'll 137 00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:38,200 Speaker 3: try to help you the best I can do. 138 00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:41,080 Speaker 4: The big thing with him is understanding that you can't 139 00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:43,680 Speaker 4: confuse results with the process. So if there's a day 140 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:46,400 Speaker 4: he doesn't have a whole bunch of production, that doesn't 141 00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:47,880 Speaker 4: mean he didn't do his job. 142 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:52,120 Speaker 2: And get open. Sounds like that has been an issue. 143 00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:57,240 Speaker 3: I don't think that it has. I thought that, you know, again, 144 00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:01,560 Speaker 3: there's days where the ball doesn't find you. There's one football, 145 00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:04,520 Speaker 3: there's five eligible receivers. The quarterback decides where he wants 146 00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:07,719 Speaker 3: to go with the ball. No different than Kyle Williams. 147 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:11,559 Speaker 3: Kyle Williams is working extremely hard. You know, ball hasn't 148 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:14,200 Speaker 3: really found him, and there's been open there's been separation. 149 00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:17,440 Speaker 2: You know. 150 00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:20,640 Speaker 3: I'm not sure which day Todd said that, but the 151 00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:22,720 Speaker 3: other day in the red zone, I thought that, you know, 152 00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:27,880 Speaker 3: Stefan factored and look good and keep getting better. So 153 00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:32,680 Speaker 3: I don't think that that's going to be always the case, 154 00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:35,640 Speaker 3: right as far as there's a you know, Terrell mentioned this. 155 00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:39,280 Speaker 3: Trell Williams said this one time, when you know you can, 156 00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:44,320 Speaker 3: you can make the play without making a tackle, right, 157 00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:46,080 Speaker 3: And and that was something that you have to teach 158 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:49,160 Speaker 3: defensive linemen is when they start trying to make a 159 00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:52,560 Speaker 3: bunch of tackles, maybe maybe they start hurting some of 160 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:55,320 Speaker 3: the people behind them and the fits and everything else 161 00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:56,520 Speaker 3: because they're trying to make. 162 00:07:56,440 --> 00:08:00,520 Speaker 2: A tackle where there's ways to do their job. 163 00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:02,960 Speaker 3: And really contribute to the defense without ever getting a 164 00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:05,600 Speaker 3: stat and those plays will come. Just make the ones 165 00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:08,520 Speaker 3: that that you're supposed to make. And I really equate 166 00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,760 Speaker 3: that to really every position. But you know, you asked 167 00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:14,280 Speaker 3: about receiver, and then again, everybody wants to catch the 168 00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:16,800 Speaker 3: ball and everybody wants to score touchdowns and those will 169 00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:20,040 Speaker 3: come and that will happen. And maybe on that particular 170 00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:23,440 Speaker 3: day in which Todd said that, you know, there wasn't 171 00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:25,560 Speaker 3: a ton of production from that practice day, I'm not 172 00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:27,960 Speaker 3: really sure when he said that. But there's other ways 173 00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:30,760 Speaker 3: to be successful and do your job and help us win. 174 00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:34,600 Speaker 3: That's the most important thing, guys, final questions. 175 00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:37,800 Speaker 2: You view them as competing for the number two jobs, 176 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:41,319 Speaker 2: and you kind of view their spots because one the better. 177 00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:43,640 Speaker 3: And wanted work that they were kind of sort yeah, 178 00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:46,440 Speaker 3: I mean I think Josh is the backup right now, 179 00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:49,480 Speaker 3: not that that couldn't change. You know, Ben's working hard 180 00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:52,480 Speaker 3: and we'll see you again, and we're always trying to 181 00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:55,800 Speaker 3: strengthen the roster each and every day, but Josh is 182 00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:59,240 Speaker 3: in there. Josh just has to be more consistent, you know, 183 00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:03,560 Speaker 3: how to unfortunate you know, interception, you know in two 184 00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:05,920 Speaker 3: minute drill and throwing it into robber and you know, 185 00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,960 Speaker 3: ball placement has to be better, and just the timing 186 00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:11,240 Speaker 3: and all these things that that we work on. So 187 00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:13,600 Speaker 3: he's getting the same looks that that Drake's getting and 188 00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:16,400 Speaker 3: it's it's not easy. But that's not an excuse. I'm 189 00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:19,680 Speaker 3: not usually as an excuse, just saying, you know, we 190 00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:20,800 Speaker 3: have to take care of football. 191 00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:24,160 Speaker 4: Last question, I hoped out potentially the safety kind of 192 00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:26,480 Speaker 4: like Marte Mopu, just to get more opportunities to get on. 193 00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:33,520 Speaker 3: The field, you should move him to safety. Yeah, I 194 00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:35,640 Speaker 3: mean we would consider anything to try to help the 195 00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:38,600 Speaker 3: football team and help the player. That that's everything we 196 00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:41,320 Speaker 3: want to try to do is help every get a player, 197 00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:44,840 Speaker 3: earn a role and build a football team. 198 00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:48,360 Speaker 2: Thank you. I hope that helped. Greg. I don't know 199 00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:50,559 Speaker 2: what the context was, but that particular day
