1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,840 Speaker 1: Off season Mini camp recap update with the head coach 2 00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:05,920 Speaker 1: of the Colt, Shansteike and coach. First off, congratulations on 3 00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:08,280 Speaker 1: your first spring for the most part in the books. 4 00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:10,319 Speaker 1: How do you feel. What's your assessment of the work 5 00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:12,000 Speaker 1: that your guys got in during the springtime. 6 00:00:12,039 --> 00:00:13,159 Speaker 2: You know what, I just thought there was a lot 7 00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:15,120 Speaker 2: of great intensity, a lot of good energy. You know. 8 00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:17,959 Speaker 2: You know, obviously it's hard without pads on, but just 9 00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:20,840 Speaker 2: the way the guys were flying around, the fast paced practices, 10 00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:22,280 Speaker 2: you know, I like to see that of the guys, 11 00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:25,119 Speaker 2: good tempo in and out of huddle. I thought it 12 00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:26,880 Speaker 2: was a good offseason and we got to continue that 13 00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:28,920 Speaker 2: and really carry it and build it into this training 14 00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:29,560 Speaker 2: camp going forward. 15 00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:32,159 Speaker 1: What about the camaraderie? What about the bonds this team 16 00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:35,000 Speaker 1: is building in the spring, this time of year before 17 00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:37,640 Speaker 1: training camp. How important is this time of year for 18 00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:39,360 Speaker 1: those things that you just can't quantify. 19 00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:41,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's a huge, huge part of this process 20 00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:43,640 Speaker 2: is you know, the bonds and building those you know, 21 00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:46,479 Speaker 2: the team chemistry. You know, because I've said this before, 22 00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:48,239 Speaker 2: people probably heard me say this a whole bunch, but 23 00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:51,559 Speaker 2: when you're connected, you're committed, and I think when you, 24 00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:54,040 Speaker 2: you know, create those bonds not only in the building 25 00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:57,200 Speaker 2: but outside, you know, the field and doing a barbecue 26 00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:59,240 Speaker 2: or the bowling event we did, and just continue to 27 00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:00,880 Speaker 2: learn each other and get to know each other. You're 28 00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:02,840 Speaker 2: going to go a little bit harder for that person. 29 00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:05,240 Speaker 1: A big part of your makeup is accountability. You hold 30 00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:09,000 Speaker 1: yourself accountable, You hold the coaches accountable, the players, you 31 00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:11,319 Speaker 1: hold them accountable as well. How have you seen the 32 00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:14,199 Speaker 1: team overall respond to that part of your personality. 33 00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:16,959 Speaker 2: I think it's been good, you know. I think accountability 34 00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:18,680 Speaker 2: it doesn't always have to be a bad thing, you 35 00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:20,560 Speaker 2: know what I mean? When the players do do it right, 36 00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:22,199 Speaker 2: you could be praised them. You know, when it's wrong, 37 00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:23,680 Speaker 2: something needs to be said because I think if you 38 00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:26,080 Speaker 2: just let the little thing slide over and over again, 39 00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:28,520 Speaker 2: that's when an avalanche of problems sure starts to happen. 40 00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:32,280 Speaker 2: So just staying accountable in the building, outside the building, 41 00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:35,440 Speaker 2: you know, representing the Colt Shield, representing the National Football League, 42 00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:36,800 Speaker 2: It's an honor to be a part of it. 43 00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:38,640 Speaker 1: How about for you, do you feel like you're settled in? 44 00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:40,319 Speaker 1: I know the last couple of months have been pretty 45 00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:42,600 Speaker 1: crazy for you. Do you feel like you've established some 46 00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:44,160 Speaker 1: routines and the way you want to do things. 47 00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:46,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, and then you know you establish your new 48 00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:48,400 Speaker 2: routines when training camp comes around, you know, because that's 49 00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:51,760 Speaker 2: another different deal. So excited looking forward to the challenge 50 00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:53,760 Speaker 2: this year, going to battle with these guys, these coaches, 51 00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:56,480 Speaker 2: these players, front office, the whole entire building, the organization. 52 00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:58,640 Speaker 2: It's been tremendous, you know, these last couple of months. 53 00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:00,360 Speaker 2: But really looking forward to see all. 54 00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:02,800 Speaker 1: Right with the offense, you look at it, Gardner Minshew 55 00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 1: and Anthony Richardson, they're splitting time at quarterback with the 56 00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:09,079 Speaker 1: first team offense. How do you explain their dynamic between 57 00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:11,760 Speaker 1: those two guys, their teammates. How do you explain just 58 00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:13,040 Speaker 1: the way they're working together right now? 59 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:14,639 Speaker 2: You know what it's it's been good to see. It's 60 00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:16,440 Speaker 2: been really fun to see. Actually, you know, Gardner, you know, 61 00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:18,079 Speaker 2: been in this league for a while, you know has 62 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,480 Speaker 2: some experience, and then you know Anthony being a young guy, 63 00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:23,320 Speaker 2: just kind of seeing how Gardner works and how he 64 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:26,360 Speaker 2: operates in the meetings, you know, on the field, all 65 00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:30,320 Speaker 2: those different things. But their bond's been strong, it'll continue 66 00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:32,200 Speaker 2: to be strong. I really like where they're at. 67 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:35,919 Speaker 1: Where has the game maybe slowed down? For Richardson specifically. 68 00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:38,200 Speaker 2: I think just being around you know, the starting group, 69 00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:39,960 Speaker 2: the veteran guys, you know what I mean, And once 70 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:41,480 Speaker 2: you get out there, the first couple of times is 71 00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:43,560 Speaker 2: probably a little fast and then it starts to slow down. 72 00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:46,000 Speaker 2: And then you know, obviously being in a quarterback in 73 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,000 Speaker 2: this league, the mental game is huge, you know, and 74 00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:51,399 Speaker 2: so just really learning the system. You know, once you 75 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:54,000 Speaker 2: master the system, that's where it really really starts to 76 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,839 Speaker 2: slow down for quarterbacks. And that's the process we're going 77 00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:59,240 Speaker 2: through with him right now, is mastering you know, the system. 78 00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:01,200 Speaker 2: And you know, obviously when we get in a training camp, 79 00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:03,320 Speaker 2: we'll get more reps at certain plays. You know, we're 80 00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,519 Speaker 2: not doing a ton of reps out here in OTAs 81 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:07,560 Speaker 2: right We're getting a few here and there. But as 82 00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:09,639 Speaker 2: long as you can see different looks over and over again, 83 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:11,720 Speaker 2: whether it's the same play, but you see five different looks, 84 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:13,720 Speaker 2: well what if this happens, what if that happens? You 85 00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:15,919 Speaker 2: put him through all those different things so he knows 86 00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:17,680 Speaker 2: when it comes time on game time, like he can 87 00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:17,960 Speaker 2: see it. 88 00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:21,800 Speaker 1: What will your message be to him during this time 89 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:24,200 Speaker 1: off away from the team as he's with himself, what 90 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,520 Speaker 1: does he need to improve on specifically before camp? 91 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:29,560 Speaker 2: Just keep working, studying the playbook more than anything. I mean, 92 00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:31,760 Speaker 2: the talent's there, you know, we saw it out here, 93 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:35,120 Speaker 2: but just keep working on. You know, watching the tape, 94 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:38,200 Speaker 2: studying the playbook. You know, have your time off, but 95 00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:40,480 Speaker 2: really you're not really taking a ton of time off, 96 00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:42,120 Speaker 2: like You've got to stay in this playbook. You know, 97 00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:43,920 Speaker 2: the best ones always, you know, even when they go 98 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:45,800 Speaker 2: away from summer, they got a detailed plan of how 99 00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:46,640 Speaker 2: they get that done. 100 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:48,440 Speaker 1: So when you look at the defense, I know you 101 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:51,000 Speaker 1: weren't here last year, but you know Gus Bradley very well. 102 00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:53,640 Speaker 1: You watched a lot of this defense on film last year. Heck, 103 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,000 Speaker 1: you played against him last year. Can you sense that 104 00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:58,920 Speaker 1: the defense overall, the core players within that unit are 105 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,440 Speaker 1: ahead of schedu You'll playing faster in year two in 106 00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:01,840 Speaker 1: that system? 107 00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:03,440 Speaker 2: Yeah? I think so. I think you know, when you're 108 00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:05,440 Speaker 2: in year two of the same system, I think guys 109 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:07,800 Speaker 2: are naturally going to play faster. But you can just 110 00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,880 Speaker 2: see how well they're playing together. You know, it's a 111 00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:13,560 Speaker 2: good group up front and the linebackers, the back end, 112 00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:17,520 Speaker 2: everyone the way they're playing, having fun energy. It's been 113 00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:19,320 Speaker 2: really fun to see and I'm looking forward and watching 114 00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:20,600 Speaker 2: it and being a part of it season. Yeah. 115 00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:22,680 Speaker 1: Indeed, in less couple of things. The rookie class. I mean, 116 00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:25,560 Speaker 1: everybody talks about Anthony Richardson, who's the headliner of that 117 00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,200 Speaker 1: rookie class. But is the rest of the first year players. 118 00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:30,680 Speaker 1: Are they on schedule in terms of where you want 119 00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:32,840 Speaker 1: them to be with the mental side of the game. 120 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely. I think I think they're continuing to learn, 121 00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:37,599 Speaker 2: you know what I mean, It is a process. But 122 00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:39,480 Speaker 2: I do like where all those young guys are at 123 00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:40,960 Speaker 2: right now. You know, there's some young guys that have 124 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,040 Speaker 2: made some splash plays, you know, I hear in ots, 125 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:45,599 Speaker 2: which is really exciting to see and continue that trend 126 00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:48,000 Speaker 2: into training camp and let that thing feed into the season. 127 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:49,520 Speaker 2: It'll be it'll be good for us, all right. 128 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:51,160 Speaker 1: I know you got to run. Lastly, for you, what 129 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:53,240 Speaker 1: what does the summer look like for you? Will you 130 00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:56,000 Speaker 1: take any time with the craziness that your last six 131 00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:56,640 Speaker 1: months have been. 132 00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:58,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll take I'll take a little time. I'll probably 133 00:04:58,440 --> 00:04:59,920 Speaker 2: take about a week and a half, two weeks go 134 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,560 Speaker 2: see family, you know, out in California, do that for 135 00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:04,240 Speaker 2: a little bit, and then I'll be back here in 136 00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:06,240 Speaker 2: Indy for the last you know, two and a half weeks, 137 00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:09,239 Speaker 2: just getting situated with the family and kind of exploring 138 00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:11,440 Speaker 2: Indie and seeing all the things that has to offer, 139 00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:14,680 Speaker 2: and at the same time all ball there too when 140 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:14,960 Speaker 2: I'm back. 141 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:16,480 Speaker 1: How much are you looking forward to your first camp? 142 00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,119 Speaker 2: I can't wait.
