1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:02,880
Speaker 1: Coach. How are you doing good though? How's it going Christen?

2
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:04,840
Speaker 1: Doing good? Coach? Doing good? You got a lot of

3
00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:07,000
Speaker 1: sponsors here. By the way, there's a long reach from me.

4
00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:08,760
Speaker 1: I'm not used to this no award way today, so

5
00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:12,239
Speaker 1: kind of a little bit different. So you guys get

6
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:14,840
Speaker 1: a nice week down in Tennessee. The weather's kind of hot.

7
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:17,079
Speaker 1: Is that you know, from a physical standpoint or a

8
00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:19,200
Speaker 1: mental standpoint, Does that sort of help you maybe because

9
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:20,680
Speaker 1: I see a week two you're down in Miami. We

10
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:23,960
Speaker 1: know what that's like in September. Yeah, no, it's good. Look,

11
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:26,400
Speaker 1: it's this time of year and we can't control what

12
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:28,319
Speaker 1: the conditions are. But whatever they are, we gotta go

13
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:32,519
Speaker 1: out and work throw them. But yeah, it's good. It

14
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:35,080
Speaker 1: was you know, I thought our players are in good condition,

15
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:36,879
Speaker 1: held up well. We played a lot of plays on

16
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:40,519
Speaker 1: defense in the first half there's Saturday night, and then

17
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:42,280
Speaker 1: a lot of plays on offense in the second half

18
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:45,320
Speaker 1: Saturday night. So it was really, you know, not the

19
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:49,159
Speaker 1: whole game, but pack pretty you know, tilted one way

20
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:51,560
Speaker 1: or the other. And I thought we held up okay,

21
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 1: And it's not perfect, we're out there yet, but we're

22
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 1: getting there. So you guys are out there a long time.

23
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 1: Five days, it was like a mini bowl game. Did

24
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:01,640
Speaker 1: you learn anything you know about your team they didn't

25
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:04,080
Speaker 1: know before that week? You know, maybe this guy's a

26
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 1: little bit tougher, this guy's in better shape that I thought.

27
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 1: Did anybody stand out as far as changing your mind

28
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 1: or perception about them based on those five days? Yeah,

29
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 1: I mean I don't think the you know, the needle

30
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 1: is going to swing one hundred and eighty degrees on anybody.

31
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 1: I think that, But you know, you certainly learn more

32
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:22,400
Speaker 1: about them and put them more situations and see how

33
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:27,039
Speaker 1: they respond to different challenges, different matchups, and different style

34
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:28,760
Speaker 1: of play. You know, Titan style of plays a little

35
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:30,679
Speaker 1: bit different than the lines. I mean, not good or bad,

36
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 1: it's a little bit different than we have to be

37
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 1: ready to react to it in some ways. Is that

38
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:37,839
Speaker 1: um more productive? Do you get more out of those

39
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:42,840
Speaker 1: joint practices than you would an actual preseason game? Well,

40
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 1: I think the combination is beneficial in the In the

41
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 1: two practices, Christian we played, you know, some guys a

42
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 1: lot of a lot in practice, so they took a

43
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 1: lot of practice reps and then didn't play very much

44
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 1: in the game. Other players, I would say, got fewer

45
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 1: practice reps and then played a lot in the game.

46
00:01:58,160 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 1: So I think by the end of the week we

47
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 1: got a lot of looks at everybody one way or

48
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 1: the other, you know, either in practice or in games.

49
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 1: And so the competition was good in all spots. It's

50
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 1: a different competition in the game, but practice, those are

51
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:14,239
Speaker 1: high quality reps, and I think both teams competed hard.

52
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 1: I think we got better and I think they got better.

53
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 1: So you talk about joint practices creating game situations. Obviously

54
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:22,080
Speaker 1: you don't know what's gonna happen on a Saturday night.

55
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 1: As far as game situations go, is it all about

56
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:26,799
Speaker 1: executing those? Do you take or do you take any

57
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 1: value at all of winning preseason games? We know it

58
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 1: doesn't mean anything what your record is going to be,

59
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 1: but mentally having your guys win football games you want.

60
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,680
Speaker 1: I think you played a situation, so that's you can't

61
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:42,520
Speaker 1: you don't can't control what the situation is, but whatever

62
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 1: it is, you you played out the best you can,

63
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 1: whether you're ahead or behind or um you know, like

64
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 1: we ran the kickoff from the fifty yard line and

65
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:54,920
Speaker 1: tried to um you know, pin them down inside the

66
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 1: inside the twenty five and you know, use that situational

67
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:02,680
Speaker 1: opportunity to practice one of the things we could do

68
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 1: with that in that situation. So yeah, I think that's

69
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 1: the main things you'd take advantage of those situations. I mean, look, obviously,

70
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 1: and I'm pulling out all stops based on who we're playing,

71
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,400
Speaker 1: and you know, running triple reverses and things like that.

72
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:19,079
Speaker 1: That's it's not that, but within the framework that we've constructed. Yeah,

73
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 1: we're trying to win. So you know, Josh Gordon was

74
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 1: reinstated by the NFL. We have your statement in front

75
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 1: of us, so you don't I'm not going to read

76
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:29,920
Speaker 1: it to you. I just had that the reaction from

77
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 1: the players on this guy has been really strong. It

78
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:34,080
Speaker 1: seems like they really like them, and I'm just curious

79
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 1: to know, Um, you know, where do you think that reaction?

80
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 1: Why do you think that reaction has been so strong? No,

81
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 1: I don't know. You'd have to talk to those guys.

82
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 1: I don't, but kind of what I think I said

83
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 1: the same thing, you know, So, um, I don't really

84
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 1: have anything to add. Christen in a minutes where it is,

85
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 1: we'll see that goes well. Slater, It said, I think

86
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 1: on Saturday there's going to be a lot of hugs. Um,

87
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 1: did you give him a hug? Yeah, I'll keep the

88
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 1: get my personal I see you as a hugger, like

89
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 1: you know, you're coming strong, both hands, and then you're

90
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 1: not the first one to let go. Yeah. Now, whatever

91
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 1: the person in our action is with myself and a player,

92
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 1: I think that's really should be between me and the player.

93
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,920
Speaker 1: So we know how it ended last year. I guess

94
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:20,839
Speaker 1: the question would be what makes you think it would

95
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 1: be different? I guess this year what will be different

96
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 1: with Josh Gordon last year? Yeah, every years in New

97
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 1: Year for all of us. So I have no idea

98
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 1: how this year is gonna go for anybody be included.

99
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 1: We'll see. Have you have you since that day when

100
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 1: he left your team? Was there any communication at all

101
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 1: till today too when you saw him in that locker

102
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:46,159
Speaker 1: room to find out like where he's headed, where he's at? Yeah? God,

103
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 1: I think that's between me and the player. You know.

104
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:52,479
Speaker 1: Coach Isaiah win Um obviously you know gets eleven snaps,

105
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:56,039
Speaker 1: first game back since tearing that achilles last year. You know,

106
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 1: people look at him and and they go Okay, it's

107
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 1: almost like his height is a is a handicap. He's

108
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 1: not six six, he's not six seven. You guys have

109
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 1: had big tackles, Nate Solder, and I just I'm kind

110
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 1: of wondering, is that how can that how could that

111
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 1: be a handicap like the fact that he's six two

112
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 1: and he's not six six, or does it even matter? Well,

113
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:20,720
Speaker 1: normally at that position you play against he would play

114
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:23,279
Speaker 1: against a lot of taller players with longer arm length

115
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 1: and just you know, more length in general. So but

116
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:30,919
Speaker 1: you know, again we've seen five eleven guys play that

117
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,720
Speaker 1: spot like Boomerville and Harrison on the other side of

118
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 1: the ball, and we've seen I mean, matt Light wasn't

119
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 1: the you know, it wasn't a prototype you know, six six,

120
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 1: six seven left tackle either. So look, each player has

121
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:46,360
Speaker 1: their own set of skills and whether it be height,

122
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 1: arm length, quickness, strength, speed, agility, intelligence, anticipation, and so

123
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:54,360
Speaker 1: in the end, it's just doesn't matter how it all

124
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 1: comes together, how the players able to perform. So the

125
00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 1: obvious advantage for a taller guys armor, longer arm length,

126
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 1: so they could keep those guys away. But when I

127
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:05,719
Speaker 1: saw him, for a short period of time. Looks like

128
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 1: he's got really good balance. Hands are seemed really good

129
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:13,280
Speaker 1: as far as you know when he strikes. Is that

130
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 1: So if a guy doesn't have the alarm arms, what's

131
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:20,279
Speaker 1: his best asset as a tackle. If he doesn't have

132
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 1: the long arms, he's not six six, what's his best

133
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 1: asset is his footwork? Is it just does he has

134
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:28,839
Speaker 1: to compensate, you know, just for knowing you know the

135
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:34,279
Speaker 1: guy's moves or how does he react to it. Well, again,

136
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:38,360
Speaker 1: we're all different, but certainly the things at that position

137
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 1: that come into play or quickness, strength, ability to stay

138
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 1: in front of a blocker or front of a rusher,

139
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 1: which to the great length can to be part of that.

140
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:55,480
Speaker 1: Anticipation and ability to react and think quickly well, not

141
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:57,720
Speaker 1: only at your position, but with the guard or the

142
00:06:57,720 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 1: back or the tight end or whatever guys are working

143
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 1: around you on that. So they're all they're all different

144
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 1: shapes and sizes out there. Yeah, even come out of college.

145
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 1: I guess it's just it just kind of crashed me

146
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 1: because it doesn't I guess it's not like he's five two,

147
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 1: he's six two, and he's big physical, he's got good hands,

148
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 1: so and people making a big deal out of that.

149
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 1: Use was curious to know what you thought about it.

150
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 1: So Sony michel I saw rapport. I think he was

151
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 1: somebody had to report thirteen for thirteen targets and passing

152
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 1: from Brady. So Damian Harris, you guys, first look the

153
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 1: other night he made a nice catch. How important is

154
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 1: it for those two guys. We know what James White

155
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 1: can do for those guys to improve in that passing game,

156
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,119
Speaker 1: So you become less predictable maybe with personnel in the field.

157
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 1: Well look, anybody who can catch the ball out of

158
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 1: skill position just becomes a more valuable player in the offense.

159
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 1: So I mean that's really what receivers get paid to do.

160
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 1: But you know, tight ends, full backs, running backs, they

161
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 1: can they can be um productive in the passing game.

162
00:07:57,320 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 1: It just it's good for the offense. It's good for them,

163
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 1: it's good for the offense. Have you seen a difference

164
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 1: in Sony, I mean I have other than the numbers

165
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 1: that were heard, as far as like the work and

166
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 1: that he's put into being that complete back. Yeah, well

167
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 1: he's a lot more familiar with the passing and then

168
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 1: it was last year just not only routes with protections

169
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:15,120
Speaker 1: and adjustments. Um. You know, he missed most of training

170
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 1: camp last year, so he's had an opportunity to be

171
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:21,239
Speaker 1: out there on a regular basis and string string days together,

172
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 1: string good fundamental periods together, and pass protection and route running. Um,

173
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 1: thanks like that, spacing against own defenses. So yeah, I

174
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 1: think he's way hit where it was last year. You

175
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:37,080
Speaker 1: know there yet, but he's he's getting there. Would would

176
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:40,679
Speaker 1: you categorize um like la Garrett Blunt, Corey Dillon and

177
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 1: mebe Antoine Smith is like big backs so and neither

178
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:47,719
Speaker 1: none of them really caught the ball that much. I

179
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 1: don't know if because they couldn't catch because he always

180
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 1: had the third down specialist. I'm not sure. But who

181
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 1: do you think? I'm just curious. The best big back

182
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:58,079
Speaker 1: that also was capable of catching the ball, not just

183
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:00,040
Speaker 1: as at a flare route, but actually could catch the

184
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 1: ball downfield. Well, Corey Dylan had very good hands. I

185
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 1: don't think hands with him was ever an issue, but

186
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 1: you know, it depends on your offense. I mean, look,

187
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 1: when you line up a guy in the eye formation,

188
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 1: it's hard to ball throw the ball downfield to him.

189
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:15,040
Speaker 1: I mean, let's go too far to go. Yeah, but

190
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 1: he also it wasn't like he was flexing out either though, Right,

191
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:20,080
Speaker 1: What's I'm saying that it's hard to involve guys that

192
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:22,199
Speaker 1: are line up eight yards behind the line of scrimmage

193
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 1: in the passing games. That's not a it's not a

194
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 1: threatening position for the defense. I don't care who you

195
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 1: put back there. So, yeah, I was I was trying

196
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 1: to think of of I don't know someone who was

197
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 1: who was capable of doing that as an old school

198
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 1: eye back tailback and at the same time, you know,

199
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 1: use him as it flexed out in the slot. Couldn't

200
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:44,720
Speaker 1: think of anybody. Well, I mean essentially that's that's what

201
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 1: McCaffrey is for for Carolina. I mean, he plays a

202
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 1: lot of single back behind Um Newton, but they released

203
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 1: him out in the pattern. He splits out as a receiver.

204
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:58,280
Speaker 1: He's a very versatile player. He doesn't have the kind

205
00:09:58,320 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 1: of size that you were talking about with the other

206
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,680
Speaker 1: those other players, but he's a guy that can play

207
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:06,679
Speaker 1: anywhere from an extended receiver position too in the slot,

208
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 1: to in the eye position in the backfield and you know,

209
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 1: be effective of the ball in his hands. Yeah, So

210
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 1: there's not a lot of guys like that, but there's

211
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:16,600
Speaker 1: that's a made an example of one. You'll see him

212
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 1: this week, Yeah, I say, you playing this week, So

213
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 1: a little extra detail as far as defense goes, right, Well,

214
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:24,840
Speaker 1: you know, it's hard. You don't know where he's gonna be.

215
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 1: I mean, they could put him anywhere and he could

216
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 1: be effective in any other spots. Marshall, folks, another guy

217
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 1: fell into that category. You know, he played wide receiver

218
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:33,840
Speaker 1: for a couple of years with the Colts, or at

219
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 1: least in certain formations he did. They would split them

220
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 1: out and he would run wide receiver routes and play

221
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:41,080
Speaker 1: like a wide receiver certainly capable of carrying the ball

222
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 1: and run routes out of the backfield. So guys like

223
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:48,559
Speaker 1: that or are tough matchups because of their variety of

224
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:51,200
Speaker 1: skills and who you would have on him and where

225
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 1: they're going to be. So, I don't know if you're

226
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 1: aware of it. Seems to be growing, this legend of

227
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:59,440
Speaker 1: Chase Winovich. Like he's just all over whether it's social

228
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 1: media people talking about him or not. And obviously I

229
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 1: don't know, just like the hair and the people his

230
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 1: hair may have his own Twitter account. Yeah, the hair.

231
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 1: I'm sure it probably does by now. But what have

232
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 1: you seen from him? Obviously the high energy, is that

233
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:12,719
Speaker 1: what you've seen early from him? Yeah, definitely, Yeah, Chase.

234
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 1: It's very aggressive, fast, and he is a relentless motor

235
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:22,199
Speaker 1: so and all those things are good. You know, he

236
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:25,400
Speaker 1: lacks some experience and there are some things that you know,

237
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:27,199
Speaker 1: he definitely needs to work on and can I prove on.

238
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:29,439
Speaker 1: But he's a hard working kid. He smart, he understands

239
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:32,320
Speaker 1: what he needs to do. We're asking him to do

240
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:36,080
Speaker 1: some things he really has never done before. It didn't

241
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 1: do it, Michigan. I'm not saying he can't do him.

242
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:41,120
Speaker 1: It's just you know, making an adaption, some adjustments. But

243
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:44,200
Speaker 1: he's worked hard at that and definitely gotten a lot better.

244
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:46,559
Speaker 1: So see where all that goes, because that's one of

245
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:48,199
Speaker 1: the buzz. I think first few weeks here of camp,

246
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 1: in the first few games, the young kids on this

247
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:52,559
Speaker 1: roster that have showed early on for you, and one

248
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 1: of him, Joan Williams. This is a kid out of

249
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 1: Vanderbilt and he showed the last coup a couple of

250
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:00,439
Speaker 1: days obviously games with his height. But what what is

251
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:03,480
Speaker 1: the biggest challenge for a corner coming out of college

252
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 1: to the NFL, Well, the sophistication of the passing game

253
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:11,959
Speaker 1: is much much greater than what it is in college.

254
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:17,920
Speaker 1: So that's different more, you know, more different types of routes.

255
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:24,200
Speaker 1: Receivers are better at route technique. But is it a

256
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 1: scheme thing like do you see college kids may be

257
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:29,240
Speaker 1: better at man a better at zone than the other. No.

258
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:31,080
Speaker 1: I mean two main routes that are running college are

259
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:33,439
Speaker 1: goes in quick screens, and I would say those are

260
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:36,560
Speaker 1: not the two at the top of the routes in

261
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:39,599
Speaker 1: the NFL. So it's just a different game. There's a

262
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:42,000
Speaker 1: lot of you know, tear screens plays players that are

263
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 1: involved the running game where receivers get the ball as

264
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:46,480
Speaker 1: part of the running game, And there's some of that

265
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 1: in this league, but not as much as there's in college.

266
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 1: And you know, you get some good matchups in college

267
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 1: where you got big, fast receivers against undersized corners. Um,

268
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:56,840
Speaker 1: toss it up there to them and let them go

269
00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:58,720
Speaker 1: get it. You don't see as much as that in

270
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 1: this league. Yeah, you speaking of Jewan Williams was sixty three,

271
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 1: so he's so tall when it's like two twelve at

272
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 1: least that's what they have enlisted. Yeah, was he did

273
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 1: you guys specifically target a I guess a tall slash

274
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:16,920
Speaker 1: big corner or was he just the next corner on

275
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:19,200
Speaker 1: your guys's uh you know, depth chart as far as

276
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 1: who you wanted to get, he just happened to be tall.

277
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:26,120
Speaker 1: What was more important for you in that case? Well,

278
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 1: for I mean for each player, we put a value

279
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:33,600
Speaker 1: on the player, regardless of how tall he is, or

280
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:36,959
Speaker 1: what school he went to, or what position he plays,

281
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 1: or they put a value on the player. And when

282
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:43,080
Speaker 1: it's time to draft, if there's a player that stands

283
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 1: out value wise, then that's certainly a guy to consider.

284
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:49,840
Speaker 1: If there are several players of similar value, then you

285
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 1: might feel like one is a better fit for your

286
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 1: particular team then than the other ones are, depending on

287
00:13:57,280 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 1: what the criteria is and so forth. So it's really

288
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:04,120
Speaker 1: it's not any one thing his height or his forty

289
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:09,120
Speaker 1: time or where he played, or is it man or

290
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 1: is it zone or whatever it's it's a combination of

291
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:16,600
Speaker 1: all those things. And then if they're all above whoever

292
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:19,440
Speaker 1: the next player is at whatever position that other guy plays,

293
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:22,440
Speaker 1: then usually that's a fairly easy decision. If there are

294
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 1: several players that are a comparable value but different skills.

295
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:28,560
Speaker 1: Then you decide what skills are more valuable to you

296
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:32,360
Speaker 1: than you you know, refine your value based on those

297
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:34,640
Speaker 1: three or four players that are kind of clumped together.

298
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 1: So I know there's a lot of things in the

299
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:39,840
Speaker 1: media that you don't really care about. Write your job,

300
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 1: I know, coaching the game. For some reason, people really

301
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 1: get into this play calling thing. And I know we've

302
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 1: talked about Grod Mayo possibly doing I think there's a

303
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 1: report Saturday that maybe your son Steve was calling in

304
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 1: some defensive place. Was that just something that happened or

305
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:57,040
Speaker 1: did that even happen. Yeah, I'm not going to get

306
00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 1: into the play calling. It's you know, we have a

307
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:02,880
Speaker 1: good defensive staff, we work together, and um, there's a

308
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:05,400
Speaker 1: number of different things that could come up, So we

309
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:07,320
Speaker 1: don't have time to talk about all right now. It's

310
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 1: a really just management of the game and the team.

311
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:13,760
Speaker 1: Would you would you say there is a difference between

312
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 1: calling the defensive play and the person who actually calls

313
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 1: in the play. Is there a separation between those guys?

314
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 1: It could be possibly, sure, Sure, if a coordinators up

315
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 1: in the press box and he calls down and person

316
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 1: on the field relays the call to the to the

317
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:32,880
Speaker 1: signal call over. Then yeah, it's more of a replay

318
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 1: or a relay type of system. Yeah, sure that's good. So, um,

319
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 1: Tom Brady doesn't play, and obviously the joint practices, I'm

320
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 1: guessing you can get so much work out of that

321
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 1: that it's sort of I guess meaningless, not meaningless, But

322
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:48,280
Speaker 1: to play him in that game lays they have to

323
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 1: do with a quick turnaround, because I know you guys

324
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:52,480
Speaker 1: play on Thursday. Is it the work he gets in

325
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 1: joint practices or the quick turnaround that played into that. Well,

326
00:15:58,000 --> 00:15:59,760
Speaker 1: I think that's more of what I said earlier, that

327
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:04,080
Speaker 1: you have ninety players. You can't play all ninety players

328
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:06,520
Speaker 1: in the game. And honestly, it's just as hard to

329
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:10,840
Speaker 1: practice all ninety players and get what you need out

330
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:15,320
Speaker 1: of it in practice against another team. So we practice

331
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:18,400
Speaker 1: some players a lot, and they didn't play much or

332
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:20,080
Speaker 1: didn't play it all in the game. And then there's

333
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 1: another group of players that didn't practice as much. They

334
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:25,560
Speaker 1: practiced some but not nearly as much as the other group,

335
00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 1: and they played a lot in the game. So I

336
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:30,840
Speaker 1: think at the end of the week, we each guy

337
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:33,440
Speaker 1: got a lot of work. It might have been in practice,

338
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:35,160
Speaker 1: it might have been in the game, but it was

339
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 1: really the idea of trying to take a look at

340
00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:41,120
Speaker 1: everybody and give everybody the opportunity to compete, and all

341
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:45,440
Speaker 1: against Tennessee, but in different formats. Is it safe to

342
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 1: say that Jacobe Myers is The confidence in the staff

343
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 1: about this kid is growing with every week. The Jacobe

344
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:56,760
Speaker 1: has done some things, you know, really well, and there's

345
00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:59,400
Speaker 1: some other things that you know he needs to work on.

346
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:02,160
Speaker 1: I think he's some improvement from the Detroit to the

347
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:05,160
Speaker 1: Tennessee game, and so that's a good thing. We'll see

348
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:08,119
Speaker 1: how that goes here over the next a couple of

349
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:11,360
Speaker 1: weeks or so and try to evaluate that. But he's

350
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:13,879
Speaker 1: back in progress. Yeah. So not only do you get

351
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:16,199
Speaker 1: the ability, I guess, the opportunity to go against not

352
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:19,240
Speaker 1: only Cam Newton, Uh, you know Christian McCaffrey. Like we

353
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:21,680
Speaker 1: just talked about those different multiple looks that you'll see

354
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:24,720
Speaker 1: from him Olson. Oh yeah, I forgot it. But also

355
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:29,640
Speaker 1: he's still in the league. Wow, I love it. Um.

356
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:31,720
Speaker 1: But also it's a short week and you guys have

357
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:34,520
Speaker 1: a similar situation. I was gonna say, I think you

358
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 1: play Washington and then you can turn right back around

359
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:41,040
Speaker 1: and then you play the Giants on a Thursday night.

360
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 1: So teaching moment, it just experiencing, you know how this

361
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:49,919
Speaker 1: all works. How important is that? Well, it's an opportunity

362
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:53,639
Speaker 1: for us to live the schedule that we're going to

363
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:57,800
Speaker 1: have to be under um in whatever eight weeks or

364
00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:01,760
Speaker 1: whatever it is. So, yeah, that's today's Monday, and that's

365
00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:05,200
Speaker 1: the difference. As we played Saturday night, We'll play Sunday afternoon.

366
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:07,960
Speaker 1: But other than that, we come in here Monday morning,

367
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:09,920
Speaker 1: just like we're gonna come in here Monday morning parts

368
00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:12,119
Speaker 1: of the Giants game, and we have four days to

369
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:16,720
Speaker 1: look at the last game, get ready for the next game,

370
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:23,919
Speaker 1: both physically mentally and you know, trying to get to

371
00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:26,560
Speaker 1: a high emotional level at that for that Thursday night game.

372
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:29,960
Speaker 1: So this is the same opportunity for us. And I'm

373
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:32,320
Speaker 1: sure we'll all learn a little something from the schedule

374
00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:35,080
Speaker 1: this week that we could maybe do differently or maximums

375
00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:36,800
Speaker 1: a little bit better. Do you think we'll see Tom

376
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:40,160
Speaker 1: this week we play at all, I think Tom will

377
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:44,200
Speaker 1: be out there in practice. Yeah, all right, favorite part

378
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:45,960
Speaker 1: of the week here. Yeah, we are we done with

379
00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:49,240
Speaker 1: yea because I know he's been celebrating for this question.

380
00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 1: I know he loves it. What's your favorite drive of

381
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:56,880
Speaker 1: the week. Well, I think anytime you go ninety nine yards,

382
00:18:56,960 --> 00:19:01,200
Speaker 1: that's that's something to be feel good about. Yeah, so

383
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:05,600
Speaker 1: see I picked, I'd picked the other one, I'd picked

384
00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:08,359
Speaker 1: the Yeah it's fine too. Yeah, Well, I wasn't sure

385
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 1: what you're gonna say. I always pick the wrong I

386
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:12,800
Speaker 1: usually have two options, and you always you always Zig

387
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:17,200
Speaker 1: and Isaac, we'd be terrible dance partners. I guess we're

388
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:18,960

389
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:21,960

Speaker 1: three coaches and you as well. A lot of those

391
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:28,080
Speaker 1: guys maybe a little bit younger in their careers. I

392
00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:31,320
Speaker 1: would imagine we call them rookies. Not quite though, no,

393
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:34,440
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say that. But yeah, no, it's a it's

394
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:37,159
Speaker 1: a good group. I love the coaches in Boston. I
