But big 25 00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:13,520 Speaker 1: off the tea, I'm getting old. Getting old, it doesn't 26 00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:16,720 Speaker 1: go as far as it so I'm I'm looking forward 27 00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:18,840 Speaker 1: to the day's We're just go straight and not very far. 28 00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:21,080 Speaker 1: That way I can score a lot better. So, uh, 29 00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:23,800 Speaker 1: speaking of getting better, what do you think about the 30 00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:27,760 Speaker 1: steps your team has made since free agency started? You know, um, 31 00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:31,319 Speaker 1: the character of the of the locker room, we really 32 00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:34,280 Speaker 1: really like where it's at, you know, bringing in Whitehead 33 00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:37,360 Speaker 1: and d J. Reid and uh Conklin and c J 34 00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:41,080 Speaker 1: and Lincoln and bringing back Burrios and we're not done 35 00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:44,959 Speaker 1: yet adding but the character of those individuals and the 36 00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:47,760 Speaker 1: way they approached the game and their professionalism is off 37 00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:50,760 Speaker 1: the charts. They've all been part of winning organizations, They've 38 00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,360 Speaker 1: been to the to the big game, and they've uh, 39 00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:55,920 Speaker 1: they understand what it takes. And to add that to 40 00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:58,920 Speaker 1: the locker room, along with the fact that they are 41 00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:02,400 Speaker 1: really good football player is uh is really cool because 42 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:06,560 Speaker 1: a lot of times, you know, free agency, the expectations 43 00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:11,040 Speaker 1: just go who go after whoever is the perceived best guy, right, 44 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:13,200 Speaker 1: And it's it's all perception, one man's trash and on 45 00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:15,160 Speaker 1: the man's treasure, however you want to say it. But 46 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:18,160 Speaker 1: the reality is it's it's about match. It's about matching scheme, 47 00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:21,720 Speaker 1: matching personality, matching locker room presence and and match with 48 00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:24,200 Speaker 1: what you're trying to get accomplished on your team. And 49 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:26,480 Speaker 1: I feel like Joe and his staff and uh in 50 00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:28,720 Speaker 1: conjunction with ours, really did a good job in terms 51 00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:31,080 Speaker 1: of bringing in the right people. Uh, to add to 52 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:33,760 Speaker 1: this to this football team, you said in December, we 53 00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,440 Speaker 1: talk every week throughout the year. You said, the path 54 00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,120 Speaker 1: is crystal clear where we have to go. Is that 55 00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:43,320 Speaker 1: something that you and Joe came together and said, Hey, listen, 56 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,360 Speaker 1: we are going to target character in this class. Yeah. 57 00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:48,360 Speaker 1: I think that's his first and foremost. You know, like 58 00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:52,359 Speaker 1: it's you know you you give all the money only 59 00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:54,799 Speaker 1: makes you more of what you already are. Period. It's 60 00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:57,600 Speaker 1: it's forever. It's every profession, especially in the game football. 61 00:02:57,639 --> 00:02:59,960 Speaker 1: And uh, and you know when when these young men 62 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,440 Speaker 1: are getting second and third contracts and they're getting all 63 00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:06,520 Speaker 1: this money, Uh, there you you anticipate them. You know, 64 00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:10,000 Speaker 1: it's not their fault that they either revert or continue 65 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,320 Speaker 1: being whoever it is that they are. It's not their faults. 66 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:14,840 Speaker 1: So you you go after the guys who are internally driven, 67 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:16,640 Speaker 1: who loved the game of football, and you trust that 68 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,360 Speaker 1: if you if they're burdened with the responsibility of that 69 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:22,680 Speaker 1: extra extra money, they they're still gonna their character and 70 00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:25,839 Speaker 1: their true love and passion for the game all which time. 71 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,880 Speaker 1: Can you talk about the pursuit of Tyreek Hill and 72 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:34,120 Speaker 1: also Joe douglass is philosophy in terms of, hey, if 73 00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:37,320 Speaker 1: there is something out there, what we're gonna do. Yeah, 74 00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:41,840 Speaker 1: you know, the opportunity presented itself, felt really good about 75 00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:44,400 Speaker 1: how much we're putting it on the table with regards 76 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:46,280 Speaker 1: to I mean, could we have been reckless and and 77 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:49,360 Speaker 1: gotten a deal done, maybe, But but at the same time, 78 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,000 Speaker 1: it was there was an opportunity to go after one 79 00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:53,880 Speaker 1: of the premier players in this league and and good 80 00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:55,760 Speaker 1: for him. You know, he had conviction on going back 81 00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,920 Speaker 1: to Miami and he expressed that and he was able 82 00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:01,760 Speaker 1: to get it done. And so we're we're excited to compete. 83 00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 1: We we were excited to compete for him, and now 84 00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:05,640 Speaker 1: we're excited to compete against them. Do you think this 85 00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:08,640 Speaker 1: place is going to become a destination when you think 86 00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:11,240 Speaker 1: about the character guys you just added in free agency. 87 00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:14,160 Speaker 1: And that's one thing that Bragton Burial said to after resigning, 88 00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:17,600 Speaker 1: that I wasn't going to hunt for every penny out there. Yeah, 89 00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:22,120 Speaker 1: it's um whenever you're rebuilding something, and uh, you know, 90 00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:24,479 Speaker 1: this isn't the fifth time I've been a part of 91 00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:27,200 Speaker 1: on the front end of a rebuild. The beginning is 92 00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:31,560 Speaker 1: hard because the the you're you're on the front end 93 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:33,799 Speaker 1: of the rebuild because things haven't gone well for a while, 94 00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:36,960 Speaker 1: and so the perception is that you're not any closer 95 00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:40,799 Speaker 1: to a championship than say, someone else, and so are uh, 96 00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:43,800 Speaker 1: and so you might lose out on guys who want 97 00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:47,479 Speaker 1: to go after a championship, especially when money's even And 98 00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:51,680 Speaker 1: just to have that philosophical game plan where we weren't 99 00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:53,960 Speaker 1: going to overpay for guys just to get him here. 100 00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:56,039 Speaker 1: We wanted the guys to be a part of We 101 00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:57,560 Speaker 1: wanted the guys who wanted to be a part of 102 00:04:57,560 --> 00:04:59,320 Speaker 1: our organization as much as we wanted them to be 103 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:02,400 Speaker 1: a part of it. And if all is equal. Come on, 104 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:04,880 Speaker 1: we'll flip this thing and and we'll do things the 105 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,200 Speaker 1: right way.

Uh slight overhaul they're 125 00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:57,039 Speaker 1: bringing in c JAS Zama and then Tyler Conklin as well, 126 00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,920 Speaker 1: and how do those two complement each other? And part 127 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,880 Speaker 1: be that question would be what kind of flexibility does 128 00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:06,640 Speaker 1: that give Mike and those two they actually compliment each 129 00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,680 Speaker 1: other very well. So c J obviously a big white 130 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:14,120 Speaker 1: tight end, really good in the flats, running high crosses, 131 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:17,360 Speaker 1: getting him on the move right, Uh, get the ball 132 00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:20,080 Speaker 1: in his hands in space. And it's a big, massive 133 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 1: human being running with the speed he can. He's he's 134 00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 1: hard to bring down, and he runs violently, he blocks violently. 135 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:29,400 Speaker 1: UM really excited to have him. And then Conklin, who 136 00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:32,680 Speaker 1: is also a very good run run blocker. UM may 137 00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:35,640 Speaker 1: not be as big, but has all the grit and 138 00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,640 Speaker 1: nastiness that you'd want out of the tight end. Yeah. 139 00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:43,520 Speaker 1: But um, but at the same time, his ability to 140 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:47,000 Speaker 1: windles one on ones, to to work in man coverage 141 00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:50,680 Speaker 1: and shake and and create separation. He's able to do that. 142 00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:52,880 Speaker 1: So to be able to mix and match those two, 143 00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:56,360 Speaker 1: um off the play action pass game, to drop back game, 144 00:06:56,440 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 1: and and have h being able to utilize him as 145 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,080 Speaker 1: much as we can. I mean, it's it's it's a 146 00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:05,120 Speaker 1: really cool advantage for our offense. We added two very 147 00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:11,040 Speaker 1: different playmakers that can be used completely differently. Um along 148 00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:14,120 Speaker 1: with Elijah along with Corey Davis, along with bringing back 149 00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:17,160 Speaker 1: Braxton and Michael Carter and Tevin Coleman came back added 150 00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:19,120 Speaker 1: to the offensive line. Zack will be a year better. 151 00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:21,320 Speaker 1: We'll add more in the draft. So I really like 152 00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:23,960 Speaker 1: the direction that it's going in. How good is it 153 00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:25,680 Speaker 1: going to get we don't know, But at the same time, 154 00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:28,960 Speaker 1: we're we're we're very excited with the progress we've made 155 00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:30,240 Speaker 1: over the last two years. Were there a lot of 156 00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:33,400 Speaker 1: high fives in that room when Lake and Tomlins said that. 157 00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:36,160 Speaker 1: Tomlinson said, yeah, I'm going to sign here because he 158 00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:39,120 Speaker 1: definitely had multiple suitors. Oh yeah, No, it's and it's 159 00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:42,760 Speaker 1: awesome to bring him here. He knows our system, Um knows, 160 00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:47,440 Speaker 1: Are knows, Mike knows, John and Uh I was were 161 00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:49,840 Speaker 1: We're we're as excited to get him as as I 162 00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:52,640 Speaker 1: hope he's excited to be here. So how does that 163 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,120 Speaker 1: change the dynamic of the offensive line now? Because you 164 00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:57,400 Speaker 1: said today or earlier a couple of hours ago, that 165 00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:00,480 Speaker 1: blank and he will start to stay at left and 166 00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:02,680 Speaker 1: then a VT in his second year in the league 167 00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:06,440 Speaker 1: will move over to RICCA Yeah, it's it's uh it's probably, 168 00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:09,480 Speaker 1: in my opinion, being made much more of a deal 169 00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:11,200 Speaker 1: than it really needs to be. It's not a big 170 00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:13,480 Speaker 1: deal going left to right, right to left. Lincoln has 171 00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:15,920 Speaker 1: been doing it at such a high level for such 172 00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:18,000 Speaker 1: a long time. Just leave him there, a bt will 173 00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:19,960 Speaker 1: be fine, It'll be a seamless And he played tackle, 174 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:24,880 Speaker 1: play tackle. He's got the athleticism, the smarts, um and 175 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:28,160 Speaker 1: uh so it's it's he's gonna he's gonna do greater. 176 00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:31,600 Speaker 1: But we're not even worried about it. And so when 177 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:33,920 Speaker 1: people think positions, it's not a position change. It's just 178 00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:36,400 Speaker 1: instead of going to your left or right, it's just 179 00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:41,040 Speaker 1: it's it's semantics, no big deal, but it's gonna cause sidelines. 180 00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:43,800 Speaker 1: Let me ask you about DJ Read. You were there 181 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:47,800 Speaker 1: when the nine Years drafted him. He's such an interesting dude, 182 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,760 Speaker 1: so competitive. He definitely fits the bill of what you're 183 00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:52,800 Speaker 1: looking for. How can he do it on the outside 184 00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:56,079 Speaker 1: of five nine? You know what? Um? I always talk 185 00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:59,000 Speaker 1: about Nate Shepard being the king of strain in terms 186 00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:01,360 Speaker 1: of the effort and violence at which you play, and 187 00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:03,240 Speaker 1: and and because of it, I love Nay Shepherd, love 188 00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:07,199 Speaker 1: him to death. Um, but DJ reads going to challenge 189 00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:10,040 Speaker 1: him for this in terms of his strain and and 190 00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:14,960 Speaker 1: desire to win every single down. Um. You know, credit 191 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:17,400 Speaker 1: to DJ, and shame on me. When I was a 192 00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:20,280 Speaker 1: decordinator at San Francisco, we looked at DJ as a 193 00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:24,559 Speaker 1: nickel safety and we tried to pin him there and said, well, 194 00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:28,840 Speaker 1: he can't play outside, he's too small. Um. Because of 195 00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:31,640 Speaker 1: COVID and roster restrictions we had, and he had an injury, 196 00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:33,800 Speaker 1: we had to cut him, and hoping that we were 197 00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:37,319 Speaker 1: able we'd be able to stash him for the year. Um, 198 00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:39,959 Speaker 1: and hoping that other teams had restrictions. To Seattle's credit, 199 00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:43,400 Speaker 1: they claimed him, stashed him, waited until he got healthy, 200 00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:45,920 Speaker 1: and over the next year and a half he absolutely 201 00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:50,720 Speaker 1: dominated outside and he proved he proved Seattle right, he 202 00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:53,600 Speaker 1: proved me wrong. And I'm not afraid to him now. 203 00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:57,160 Speaker 1: It's that and I'm so proud of him like he is. Um, 204 00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:00,600 Speaker 1: it's a testament to who he is and and the 205 00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:02,960 Speaker 1: type of mindset he has. If you say he can't 206 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:05,280 Speaker 1: do something, he will he will prove you wrong. So 207 00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:08,240 Speaker 1: be very careful on the challenges you make to him, 208 00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:10,760 Speaker 1: because he will prove you wrong. And Uh, he's just 209 00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:14,640 Speaker 1: got that mindset. He's incredibly respectful. Can't say enough great 210 00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:18,000 Speaker 1: things about him, and uh, super super excited that he's here. 211 00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:20,600 Speaker 1: What about Jordan Whitehead, He's another guy who brings that 212 00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:24,360 Speaker 1: postseason experience. He already has a ring in his championship career. 213 00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:29,240 Speaker 1: Speaking of championship pedigree, guys, cousins of durell R, can 214 00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:33,120 Speaker 1: you talk about him being potentially a tone setter for 215 00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:36,800 Speaker 1: your defense? Yeah, you know, Um, he did a lot 216 00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:39,440 Speaker 1: of things in Tampa. He'd play corner, he played nickel, 217 00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:43,840 Speaker 1: he'd play safety, and for us, he's just playing safety. Uh. 218 00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:47,080 Speaker 1: He's got an incredible feel for the game. He's got 219 00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:50,760 Speaker 1: great instincts, he's got m he's got great he's got 220 00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:54,240 Speaker 1: a tremendous ability to communicate great knowledge. And so we 221 00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:57,840 Speaker 1: were we're it's not a projection. We we feel like 222 00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:00,360 Speaker 1: by putting him in one spot where he can see 223 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:02,120 Speaker 1: the same things over and over and over again and 224 00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:04,000 Speaker 1: do the same things over and over and over again, 225 00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:08,200 Speaker 1: that that instinctive, the strength of his of his game, 226 00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:11,079 Speaker 1: which is instincts and his ability to trigger when he 227 00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:14,720 Speaker 1: sees something will only elevate and it's gonna take time, obviously, 228 00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:16,880 Speaker 1: because it's a whole new system and we're asking him 229 00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:19,000 Speaker 1: to do something that he's never done before. Well he's 230 00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:21,040 Speaker 1: done before, but not to the degree that we're gonna 231 00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:23,880 Speaker 1: be asking him to do it. But he's in the 232 00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:26,040 Speaker 1: same manner. He's got this chip on his shoulder, he's 233 00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:29,400 Speaker 1: got this absolute love for football. He's he's young. He 234 00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:32,400 Speaker 1: still has a third contract ahead of him. Uh, same 235 00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:34,520 Speaker 1: thing with DJ. So it's another common theme and that 236 00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:36,760 Speaker 1: all these guys have third contract the ability to get 237 00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:39,439 Speaker 1: the third contracts still, so there's still a lot of hunger, 238 00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:43,240 Speaker 1: a lot of love, a lot of uh uh, desire 239 00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:45,920 Speaker 1: to prove people wrong and not whoever doubted him. So 240 00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:48,719 Speaker 1: again with white Head, I really excited to see how 241 00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:51,720 Speaker 1: he works in the system. And we're talking about guards before. 242 00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:55,679 Speaker 1: You said earlier that hey, listen, our safeties are interchangeable. Yep, 243 00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:57,360 Speaker 1: yeah they are. They're they're in a change or whether 244 00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:00,240 Speaker 1: he's pretty strong, they're all the same and uh um 245 00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:02,640 Speaker 1: doesn't want to have to do something more than the other. Sure, 246 00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:04,840 Speaker 1: but at the same time they're they're pretty interchanged. But 247 00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:07,719 Speaker 1: he's a versatile player. I think it's some people mislabeled. 248 00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:09,520 Speaker 1: White has to say, oh, he let likes to come 249 00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:11,520 Speaker 1: play downhill. Well, he does, but he does a lot 250 00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:13,560 Speaker 1: of things. Some of the things that he did in 251 00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:15,560 Speaker 1: the middle of the field is what what got us 252 00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:18,680 Speaker 1: super excited.

You know, we're we're thinking we 270 00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:05,800 Speaker 1: we thought maybe there would be Uh uh league's losses 271 00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:09,680 Speaker 1: are game right, and now he's Uh. I'm pumped for 272 00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:12,559 Speaker 1: him because he's still got got paid very very close 273 00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:15,720 Speaker 1: to what everyone thought he'd get, and so he earned 274 00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:17,800 Speaker 1: every last penny that he's gotten. And to have him 275 00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:20,480 Speaker 1: in the fold where he's really carved out a niche 276 00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:23,880 Speaker 1: for himself between him and Michael Fleur and and the 277 00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:26,800 Speaker 1: way they've they've they've found a role for him. And 278 00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:31,160 Speaker 1: then obviously his maturation and growth in the return game. Um, 279 00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:34,079 Speaker 1: he he helps in so many different ways. And uh, 280 00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:35,920 Speaker 1: it's always it's always nice when you know that he's 281 00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:37,600 Speaker 1: back there getting a punk because you know you're at 282 00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:39,360 Speaker 1: worst case scenario, you're going to have the ball back 283 00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:42,400 Speaker 1: and um, so to have him have him back there, 284 00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:44,320 Speaker 1: and to have him with the offense and have his 285 00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:47,000 Speaker 1: locker room presence and and everything that he does for 286 00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:49,280 Speaker 1: this team, it's it's it's really good to get those 287 00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:50,839 Speaker 1: are the guys you want to pay. What do you think? 288 00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:53,520 Speaker 1: What do you think about Zach Wilson. He's taken on 289 00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:55,839 Speaker 1: his own to go down there with Corey Davis. He's 290 00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:58,120 Speaker 1: thrown in Tennessee. The next time we see him, he's 291 00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:00,840 Speaker 1: posing for photos of Branston burials. But get into work 292 00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:04,360 Speaker 1: with Elijah More. Obviously those guys can do it on 293 00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:07,360 Speaker 1: their own because you don't have him there. What do 294 00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:09,760 Speaker 1: you think about him taking that initiative? Also, what does 295 00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:11,800 Speaker 1: he have to do when he comes back? Yeah, I 296 00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:14,400 Speaker 1: think it's Coy's. He's on this national tour going around 297 00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:17,360 Speaker 1: visiting his guys, and you have JFM texting, Hey, come 298 00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:20,400 Speaker 1: work out with me too, So um, you know, I 299 00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:22,920 Speaker 1: love the fact that he's investing in his teammates. Uh. 300 00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:25,920 Speaker 1: And you know, if he's listening to this thing, I 301 00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:27,920 Speaker 1: tell him, don't forget to invest in yourself too, you know, 302 00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,080 Speaker 1: and just continue to work and continue to grind and 303 00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:33,800 Speaker 1: get yourself better and understanding. Um. The biggest jump that 304 00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:36,640 Speaker 1: he's going to make is that football one on one 305 00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:39,720 Speaker 1: aspect in terms of knowing the scheme like the back 306 00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:41,840 Speaker 1: of your hand, and where you're not even thinking about 307 00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:43,680 Speaker 1: where guys are. You just know where they're going to be. 308 00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:46,680 Speaker 1: And now you can just play with pure fundamentals, letting 309 00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:49,520 Speaker 1: the ball rip like he can and uh and uh 310 00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:53,200 Speaker 1: and really taking a step in that direction and Uh, so, 311 00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:56,040 Speaker 1: you know, really excited to get him back and to 312 00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:59,080 Speaker 1: see where he is from a mental standpoint. And Uh, 313 00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:01,600 Speaker 1: I know he's got confidence, which he should be. He's 314 00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:05,280 Speaker 1: extremely talented. It's it's going to come down to does 315 00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:07,480 Speaker 1: he know the scheme as soon as it comes out 316 00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:09,480 Speaker 1: of his mouth. He's not thinking about who's at what. 317 00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:11,560 Speaker 1: He can get people lined up, He can throw the 318 00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:13,560 Speaker 1: ball exactly where he needs to throw it. He can 319 00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:17,000 Speaker 1: work through his progressions without thinking. Um, and when he 320 00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:19,720 Speaker 1: does that, I think you're when he has that one 321 00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:21,800 Speaker 1: on one aspect down, Pat, I think people are going 322 00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:25,120 Speaker 1: to see an extreme jump, uh to the accuracy that 323 00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:27,440 Speaker 1: we all saw in college, along with his ability to 324 00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:30,440 Speaker 1: recognize coverages and elevate his game to a whole another level. 325 00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:33,080 Speaker 1: Do you consider this your first Drew off season? I 326 00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:36,400 Speaker 1: mean you were hired in January, and I think when 327 00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:39,200 Speaker 1: a GM and a head coach get together, you gotta 328 00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:43,120 Speaker 1: have a year to watch how you implement your schemes 329 00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:46,440 Speaker 1: in the familiarity the staffs, and in mind you you 330 00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:49,400 Speaker 1: and Joe did not know each other before he came in. No, 331 00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:53,160 Speaker 1: you're right, and uh, it's funny Joe and I, Uh, 332 00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:55,480 Speaker 1: I mean all last year we uh spend a lot 333 00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:57,560 Speaker 1: of time together and this year too. That doesn't change. 334 00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:00,480 Speaker 1: But I think a greater understanding of who our players 335 00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:04,080 Speaker 1: are laying the foundation of our our schemes and and 336 00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:07,080 Speaker 1: and what we're trying to establish.

Um, what can you guys do 355 00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:03,000 Speaker 1: here when you look back at the two thousand twenty 356 00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:06,040 Speaker 1: one class, like, what what are your expectations?
