1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,600 Speaker 1: What have you seen from Levine so far? I don't 2 00:00:02,600 --> 00:00:04,560 Speaker 1: know that there has to you a lot about him. Well, 3 00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:07,240 Speaker 1: I think, uh, you know, Levine gives us a steady 4 00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:11,360 Speaker 1: presence in there as a as a why tight end. Uh, 5 00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:13,760 Speaker 1: he's improving in the past game. You know, he had 6 00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:17,800 Speaker 1: a big third down conversion the first game for us, 7 00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:20,880 Speaker 1: and uh, you know, he's been very efficient and kind 8 00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:25,320 Speaker 1: of doing his job. Does he is? He is um 9 00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:27,960 Speaker 1: as effective as a blocker as you thought he was 10 00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:29,720 Speaker 1: gonna be when you brought him in here. Yeah, I 11 00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:31,880 Speaker 1: think Levin has done a real good job and he's 12 00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:34,239 Speaker 1: continuing to work to even get better. So the thing 13 00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:36,360 Speaker 1: with Levine, you know, he's been in the league what 14 00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:38,839 Speaker 1: eight years I think, but you know, he knows that 15 00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:40,839 Speaker 1: there's still improvements that he can make and be more 16 00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:44,000 Speaker 1: consistent on everything he does. So guys like Levin are 17 00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:46,120 Speaker 1: good to work with. We obviously know the kind of 18 00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:49,599 Speaker 1: speed that Evan has, right, Uh, he hasn't really been 19 00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:51,879 Speaker 1: targeted deep down the middle of field. I don't think one. 20 00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:54,840 Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure zero times this year. Why Why do 21 00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:57,160 Speaker 1: you think that is to this point? Well, you know, 22 00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:01,720 Speaker 1: Evan's uh, you know, continuing to work can. Uh. You know, 23 00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:04,840 Speaker 1: we're continuing to try try things to get the ball 24 00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:07,680 Speaker 1: in Evan's hands, whether it be run after catch or 25 00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:11,120 Speaker 1: or down the field. You know, sometimes uh covers dictates 26 00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:13,720 Speaker 1: a lot of those things, and uh it just hasn't 27 00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:15,800 Speaker 1: happened yet, but we're gonna continue to try to get 28 00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:18,440 Speaker 1: the ball in our playmaker's hands. And uh and he's 29 00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:21,360 Speaker 1: definitely one of our playmakers. How much is that something 30 00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:23,560 Speaker 1: you see in regard to coverage, is that team is 31 00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:27,679 Speaker 1: looking for him in the big play? Well, I think definitely. Uh, 32 00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:29,720 Speaker 1: if they're doing their job, they're trying to take away 33 00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:31,600 Speaker 1: uh the guys you're trying to get the ball to. 34 00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:34,839 Speaker 1: But that also lose opportunities for others on the field. 35 00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:37,959 Speaker 1: So uh, you know, overall, we just as a staff, 36 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:41,160 Speaker 1: we uh we always make a concerted effort to try 37 00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:44,320 Speaker 1: to get our guys the ball and uh uh sometimes 38 00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:48,960 Speaker 1: the defenses dictate that and and sometimes they don't. You know, 39 00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:52,120 Speaker 1: different factors come into play when you start talking about 40 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:54,120 Speaker 1: those things. But you know, Evan's doing a good job 41 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:57,760 Speaker 1: of continuing to work. Uh. Our whole offenses continue to 42 00:01:57,800 --> 00:01:59,880 Speaker 1: do a good job of coming to work every day 43 00:01:59,880 --> 00:02:02,080 Speaker 1: and try to get better agent every day. Hey, Freddy, 44 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:07,080 Speaker 1: from your experience, how does how does a coach keep 45 00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:12,600 Speaker 1: a team focused in the day to day if the 46 00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:15,000 Speaker 1: results aren't showing on the field of all of that 47 00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:20,440 Speaker 1: hard work. Well, I think, um, uh, first and foremost, 48 00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:23,040 Speaker 1: the guys that we have in our locker room, I 49 00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:25,079 Speaker 1: think are the kind of guys that you want. From 50 00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:28,120 Speaker 1: the standpoint of they come to work every day. Um, 51 00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:30,480 Speaker 1: our coaches come to work every day, try to get better. 52 00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:34,160 Speaker 1: Understand that this is not a finished product. You understand that, uh, 53 00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:37,680 Speaker 1: there's a lot of room to improve, but also understand 54 00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:39,440 Speaker 1: that there's only one way to attack that and has 55 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:42,000 Speaker 1: to come to work every day with a good uh 56 00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:47,200 Speaker 1: good mindset and uh the mindset of of just worrying 57 00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:49,840 Speaker 1: about what you can control at that very moment. And 58 00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:53,240 Speaker 1: I think all of our guys do that, uh pretty well. 59 00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,360 Speaker 1: I think we've got a good team from that standpoint 60 00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:59,639 Speaker 1: of carrying that mindset over day after day after day. 61 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,000 Speaker 1: Taking care of Wednesday, football on Wednesday, taking care of 62 00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:07,239 Speaker 1: Thursday football on Thursday, and Friday on Friday, Saturday, uh, 63 00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:10,200 Speaker 1: the things you do on Saturday and then go play 64 00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:13,240 Speaker 1: the game. And and as a coaching staff, We've got 65 00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:15,360 Speaker 1: to continue to try to put these guys in good 66 00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:19,559 Speaker 1: situations and then ultimately it comes down to execution and 67 00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:22,320 Speaker 1: and uh, when both of those things meet up at 68 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:24,799 Speaker 1: the at the right time, we'll start seeing success on 69 00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:27,400 Speaker 1: the field. But UH, you know, I think we have 70 00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 1: gotten better in uh in certain areas, but you know 71 00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:34,520 Speaker 1: it's not nearly enough and uh, not nearly enough to 72 00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:37,000 Speaker 1: see the result on the score board yet. But we 73 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,840 Speaker 1: just need to continue to keep her head down, keep working, 74 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:43,000 Speaker 1: um and and let the results take care of themselves. 75 00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:45,880 Speaker 1: How did you feel key to and continue to play 76 00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:49,800 Speaker 1: in Week three? Cayton's Uh, Caten has been steady the 77 00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:52,560 Speaker 1: whole year, and uh, I expect him to continue to 78 00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:56,960 Speaker 1: get better and better the more he plays. And UM, 79 00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:58,880 Speaker 1: you know he's he's kind of a workhorse. He kind 80 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,000 Speaker 1: of does a little bit of everything Corse and and 81 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:05,600 Speaker 1: Cayden's uh developed a nice role, can fill a lot 82 00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:09,119 Speaker 1: of voids, and been very impressed with White. Kayden comes 83 00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,960 Speaker 1: to work and I love coaching the guy. Coach. You 84 00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:15,640 Speaker 1: talk about execution on that on the reverse the other 85 00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:19,479 Speaker 1: day where you guys had the fumble. Obviously you know 86 00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:23,280 Speaker 1: the pitch to Evan wasn't great. But when I looked 87 00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:26,800 Speaker 1: at that, it almost looked like like Daniel and Kayden 88 00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:29,279 Speaker 1: almost kind of bumped into each other. Was there a 89 00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:32,120 Speaker 1: little bit of h of a snaff foo just in 90 00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:35,320 Speaker 1: how that play ran in that sense? Well, there was, 91 00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:39,520 Speaker 1: there was. You know, you can always pick apart every play, 92 00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:42,159 Speaker 1: every little thing. Sometimes it matters, sometimes it doesn't. But 93 00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:46,680 Speaker 1: ultimately the end result was it didn't get executed, and uh, 94 00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:48,920 Speaker 1: we've got to continue to put those guys in better 95 00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,880 Speaker 1: situations to to enable them to increase their chances in 96 00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:55,560 Speaker 1: likelihood of succeeded. Hey, Freddy, there was a kickoff I 97 00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:57,800 Speaker 1: think in the second half where it looked like toy 98 00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:01,760 Speaker 1: Lolo wasn't sure a block or what happened on that 99 00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:05,440 Speaker 1: play there? Um yeah, you're talking about the one that 100 00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:08,839 Speaker 1: Kayden picked up. Yeah, and then Corey kind of just 101 00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:14,799 Speaker 1: got yanked down. Yeah. I don't even care to comment 102 00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:17,680 Speaker 1: on that because I don't really know if I saw 103 00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 1: the play briefly live, because we potentially we're going back 104 00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,320 Speaker 1: back out on the field, but um, yeah, I'm not 105 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:28,719 Speaker 1: sure on that. I'm wondering how much you worry about 106 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:33,039 Speaker 1: Evans mindset and his confidence because it because it's been 107 00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:35,000 Speaker 1: a slow start for me. If that's something you sort 108 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,920 Speaker 1: of monitor and how you sort of handle that, well, 109 00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:42,320 Speaker 1: I think, um, you know, the game of football, uh, 110 00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:45,280 Speaker 1: you have to get yourself ready to play emotionally, physically, 111 00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:50,200 Speaker 1: mentally uh And and honestly, that's what training camp does, 112 00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:54,640 Speaker 1: is uh it prepares you in all those areas because 113 00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,359 Speaker 1: you have to mentally and and emotionally be ready to 114 00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:00,760 Speaker 1: practice every day, each and every day. And and Evan's 115 00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:03,000 Speaker 1: done did a great job of it during training count 116 00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:04,919 Speaker 1: and he's continuing to do a great job of that. 117 00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:07,559 Speaker 1: I've not seen any indications where Evan has a problem 118 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:09,839 Speaker 1: with that at all, and I don't expect him to. 119 00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:12,600 Speaker 1: I think he's gonna come to work tomorrow. I'm ready 120 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:15,800 Speaker 1: to prepare, uh, you know for the next challenge, which 121 00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:19,000 Speaker 1: is this week, which is a tremendous challenge against the Rams.
