You know, it'd be hard 13 00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:54,520 Speaker 1: to track week to week, but generally where you've seen 14 00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,960 Speaker 1: him come from, um, you know, basically the summer until 15 00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:02,319 Speaker 1: where he is now. Yeah, Trey works extremely hard. I've been, 16 00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:05,480 Speaker 1: you know, really impressed with his work ethic and UM. 17 00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:08,120 Speaker 1: He does everything we asked him to do and more. 18 00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:13,600 Speaker 1: And you know, he's improved quite a bit. Uh A 19 00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:15,440 Speaker 1: young player stills a way to go, of course, but 20 00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:19,880 Speaker 1: he's he's working hard and and uh has improved considerably. 21 00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:26,559 Speaker 1: Our next question, Chris Ryan fell about you in skill 22 00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:34,360 Speaker 1: warnabill how are you good? Good? Oh? Awesome? Um? Why 23 00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:37,279 Speaker 1: don't I get your feeling on the evolution of Josh 24 00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:41,319 Speaker 1: Allen from his rookie season to now, particularly when it 25 00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:43,880 Speaker 1: comes to decision making. What are you seeing from him 26 00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:49,560 Speaker 1: in that sense? Right? Uh? Chris, I think we talked 27 00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:51,600 Speaker 1: about this the last time about how much he's improved, 28 00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:55,840 Speaker 1: and that's born out in the numbers and watching him 29 00:01:55,840 --> 00:02:00,400 Speaker 1: play as well on stenaging completions and production and then 30 00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:03,760 Speaker 1: and so forth. So you know, he's he's really hard 31 00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:07,600 Speaker 1: to stop. He does a good job at everything. Um, 32 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,360 Speaker 1: and he's continue to grow as a player. And and 33 00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:15,000 Speaker 1: you don't think you see his his leadership is toughness, UM, 34 00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:18,240 Speaker 1: his physical ability, you know all that on a very 35 00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:21,000 Speaker 1: consistent basis. I mean, he's the guy that makes them 36 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,880 Speaker 1: go and it's come one of the top top quarterbacks 37 00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:26,960 Speaker 1: in the league. There's a lot of excitement about your 38 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:30,120 Speaker 1: tight ends coming to this season and foundational years for 39 00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:32,480 Speaker 1: for both of them.

And they've done that. So UM, 46 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:55,440 Speaker 1: I'm glad we have them. I think they're both good players. 47 00:02:55,440 --> 00:03:01,120 Speaker 1: And UM, they'll continue to Um, they'll continue to improve 48 00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:05,399 Speaker 1: and and we'll based on game plan and weekly situation, 49 00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:08,959 Speaker 1: there'll be a big part of what we do.

Good? I want to ask 52 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:20,840 Speaker 1: you about Matthew Judan his first year here. What is 53 00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:23,360 Speaker 1: he brought to your team both on the field and 54 00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,560 Speaker 1: off the field as leader and maybe an energy player 55 00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:31,600 Speaker 1: for you guys. Yeah, well, well that's a good player 56 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:34,200 Speaker 1: and does a lot of things. Well, he's he's added 57 00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:38,280 Speaker 1: a lot to our team and our defense. Um. I 58 00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:42,080 Speaker 1: think he's he's showing the good ability to play the run, 59 00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:49,800 Speaker 1: balled upon a line of scrimmage, russia pass or pursue effort. Um, 60 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:51,600 Speaker 1: do a good job for us on a punt return. 61 00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:55,040 Speaker 1: You know, it's all the situations he's on the field 62 00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,200 Speaker 1: for he's it's a good at him out there he's 63 00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:02,520 Speaker 1: he's a good player. M. Next quession Jim mcbrian follow 64 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:07,119 Speaker 1: by Phil Here. Good morning, coach. I wanted to ask 65 00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:09,840 Speaker 1: you about Dawson Knox and just what you've seen from 66 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:14,520 Speaker 1: this progress he seems like a pretty complete tight end. Yeah, 67 00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:17,120 Speaker 1: well he's UM. Knox has been targeted quite a bit 68 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,839 Speaker 1: more in the last UM three or four weeks and 69 00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:24,440 Speaker 1: on all downs, not just UM any particular situation, but 70 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:30,240 Speaker 1: he's shown up with being been productive and UM early downs, 71 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:36,360 Speaker 1: third down, red area. UM. So you know this guys 72 00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:40,240 Speaker 1: were definitely have to keep an eye on. We've you know, 73 00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:45,479 Speaker 1: had UM top matchups against him before going back to 74 00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:50,240 Speaker 1: you know, nineteen uh, and you know he's he's a 75 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:52,880 Speaker 1: good athlete. He catches the ball well, he's got good 76 00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:56,320 Speaker 1: length and quickness and it's hard guy to cover and 77 00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:58,480 Speaker 1: and he's really the point of attack guy for him 78 00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:01,719 Speaker 1: in the running game. So you know, he's been a 79 00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:07,159 Speaker 1: solid player for him. Next question, Phil Perry, fall by 80 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:12,680 Speaker 1: Bob Socie. Hey Bill, I wanted to ask about Gabriel 81 00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:17,839 Speaker 1: Davis UM. What does he give to their offense? And 82 00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:20,080 Speaker 1: it looks like he plays a little bit in the slot, 83 00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:23,359 Speaker 1: but he's obviously he's much different frame, you know, different 84 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:29,560 Speaker 1: player than UM. So how that might change their offense 85 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:36,080 Speaker 1: if if you see him inside as opposed to Beasley. UM. Sure, yeah, 86 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:38,640 Speaker 1: his skills are are quite a bit different than Beasley's, 87 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:40,880 Speaker 1: but he does play in there as you mentioned, and 88 00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:46,240 Speaker 1: as does Um as Cole did. Um. You know, he's 89 00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:48,720 Speaker 1: been a really a versaile player for him. He's kind 90 00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:51,880 Speaker 1: of been their fourth receiver. UM. You know, Sanders, Digson 91 00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:55,760 Speaker 1: and Beasley this year, but he's played, uh in every game, 92 00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:58,200 Speaker 1: played quite a bit on some games or another, and 93 00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:02,920 Speaker 1: then last week with Sanders out, he played a lot 94 00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:05,080 Speaker 1: for Sanders. Um. We'll see how it goes this week. 95 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:08,839 Speaker 1: But he's capable of playing all three positions and UH, 96 00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:11,159 Speaker 1: you know they like to move digs around, so his 97 00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:15,440 Speaker 1: his flexibility helps UM. I'm sure it helps coach Table 98 00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:19,279 Speaker 1: with the offense and getting people where where where he 99 00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:22,719 Speaker 1: wants to get him. Um. But he's been a productive 100 00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:26,000 Speaker 1: player at all three levels down the field, intermediate routes 101 00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:29,080 Speaker 1: and and catching run block routes. He's also a very 102 00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:32,400 Speaker 1: good blocker, and he's been a key guy on a 103 00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:34,760 Speaker 1: guy for him in the UH in the running game 104 00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:38,840 Speaker 1: as well. Certainly you know, much bigger, more physical presence 105 00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,560 Speaker 1: than than Beasley is on on some of those plays 106 00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:45,120 Speaker 1: that um, you know that where they involve him in 107 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:49,559 Speaker 1: the running game. So yeah, he's a really good player 108 00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:52,240 Speaker 1: for him. That's that they have a role for his role. 109 00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:54,880 Speaker 1: You know, may expand this week. I wouldn't surprise me 110 00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:58,280 Speaker 1: if it did, but we'll see. And um, he's done 111 00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:02,640 Speaker 1: a good job for him. Thanks. Well, there's gonna say 112 00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:06,920 Speaker 1: two final questions, Bob so seeing Zach Cox, good morning, Bill. 113 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:09,880 Speaker 1: Just want to ask you about a few Bill's defensive 114 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,320 Speaker 1: players that we didn't see a few weeks ago, and 115 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:16,400 Speaker 1: putting a J. Klein h fa. Obada had a couple 116 00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:19,760 Speaker 1: of sacks against Carolina. Then Vernon Butler, who we've seen 117 00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:23,120 Speaker 1: you know in the past as well. But those three guys, 118 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:28,200 Speaker 1: particularly up front, you know, with the two tackles Butler 119 00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:30,120 Speaker 1: and Obada, what do you see from them and how 120 00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:34,000 Speaker 1: do they change to Bill's defense if at all. Butler's 121 00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:38,120 Speaker 1: a big guy, um no, a strong, big, strong player, UM, 122 00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:42,840 Speaker 1: a big physical presence in the running game. Um. So 123 00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:47,200 Speaker 1: he's hard to block, hard to move. Um. You know 124 00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:50,800 Speaker 1: Obada's uh, you know, had some good pass rushers last 125 00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:54,360 Speaker 1: week against Carolina, quick off the ball plays a good 126 00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:58,400 Speaker 1: path level and um, there's an active athletic player that 127 00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:02,920 Speaker 1: can um you it definitely calls him disrupted plays. And 128 00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:05,800 Speaker 1: then as I said, we didn't have Clin Kline really 129 00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:09,600 Speaker 1: has been there kind of linebacker. Now they play a 130 00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:12,760 Speaker 1: lot of nickel defense. Of course, so usually there's two 131 00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:15,360 Speaker 1: linebackers on the field and that's Edmund and Milano. But 132 00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:19,360 Speaker 1: when they play there their four three defense, which then 133 00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:24,720 Speaker 1: they play against us a decent amount because of um, 134 00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:27,520 Speaker 1: the way we played the game. Then then I think 135 00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:29,840 Speaker 1: that probably would have been Klein as the third linebacker 136 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:33,480 Speaker 1: and he wasn't there, so um, but I think getting 137 00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:35,400 Speaker 1: him back, I mean, he has a lot of experience 138 00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:41,040 Speaker 1: and um, you know, share helps the communication and depth 139 00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:44,960 Speaker 1: of the whole linebacker unit. Um. And you know, of 140 00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:47,480 Speaker 1: course goes back to you know in Carolina when he 141 00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:51,080 Speaker 1: was there with with Sean and so forth. So I'm 142 00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:53,000 Speaker 1: sure there's a lot of confidence in him. Plays in 143 00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:55,520 Speaker 1: the kicking game, so you know he's a good player 144 00:08:55,559 --> 00:09:00,160 Speaker 1: that UM. Sure it helps him to have him back, right, 145 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:09,080 Speaker 1: Thank you? Hey bill? Uh what kind of development have 146 00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:12,680 Speaker 1: you seen from Christian Wilkerson over the now two years 147 00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:16,720 Speaker 1: or so that he's been here. Um, yeah, quite a bit. 148 00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:21,960 Speaker 1: Wilkes really you know, improved in every area of the game. Um. 149 00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:27,560 Speaker 1: First of all is overall just maturity and professionalism. Um, 150 00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:31,520 Speaker 1: you know, just the way he prepares, trains, UM, you know, 151 00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:35,000 Speaker 1: takes care of himself, is ready to go every day. Um, 152 00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:39,160 Speaker 1: he's you know, he's very dependable when he walks in 153 00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:41,760 Speaker 1: the building, no journey get from him. And you know 154 00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:43,640 Speaker 1: as a receiver and a blocker, and he's improved in 155 00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:47,080 Speaker 1: his route running, his blocking, his um you know, all 156 00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:49,080 Speaker 1: those all things that going to be in a receiver 157 00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:54,200 Speaker 1: catching the ball. Um, he's consistently you know, shows up 158 00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:57,760 Speaker 1: in practice. Guy we have trouble covering and um, you know, 159 00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:01,080 Speaker 1: generally depending on who we play, generally speaking, he would 160 00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:03,840 Speaker 1: play the other team's best receiver and gets a lot 161 00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:05,600 Speaker 1: of opportunities. And you know, it gives us a good, 162 00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:07,440 Speaker 1: you know, good look on that, and it gives him 163 00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:11,280 Speaker 1: an opportunity to show up on plays that you know, 164 00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:15,160 Speaker 1: the other team's player is heavily targeted on. And and 165 00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:19,679 Speaker 1: then he um you know, as has been a productive 166 00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:22,320 Speaker 1: player in the kicking game for us as well. Uh, 167 00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:24,960 Speaker 1: you know in practice. So it's obviously different in the games. 168 00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:28,240 Speaker 1: But a big receiver that can run, that has some 169 00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:31,680 Speaker 1: playing strength, So, um, you know, he continues to improve 170 00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:35,439 Speaker 1: and grow and um you know, as long as he 171 00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:39,440 Speaker 1: keeps working hard. And it's earlier we talked about trade Nixon, 172 00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:41,840 Speaker 1: but both those guys come in, they're ready to go. 173 00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:44,840 Speaker 1: They work hard every day, they've gotten better. Um, so 174 00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:47,480 Speaker 1: that's you know, it's always an encouraging sign. We'll see 175 00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:50,600 Speaker 1: where that where that goes, but um you know they 176 00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:54,840 Speaker 1: trending in the right direction.
