1 00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:02,560 Speaker 1: You start by talking about the a lot of new 2 00:00:02,600 --> 00:00:04,880 Speaker 1: receivers here, just kind of the report you've started to 3 00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:07,440 Speaker 1: build with some of them and what you're seeing from them. Yeah, 4 00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:09,520 Speaker 1: we're starting to really click. We're starting to get it. 5 00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:11,520 Speaker 1: I mean, as I said, we have to change over 6 00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:12,559 Speaker 1: that we had and we had a lot of new 7 00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:14,400 Speaker 1: guys come in at receiver and playing a different position, 8 00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:16,279 Speaker 1: especially with a bunch of different guys that each have 9 00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:18,960 Speaker 1: something different offered to our receiving corps. It's been good. 10 00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:21,040 Speaker 1: But we're all starting to click, starting to uh hit 11 00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:23,040 Speaker 1: the deep ball a lot more and some of these 12 00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:25,400 Speaker 1: last practice than we did early on. But we knew 13 00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:27,320 Speaker 1: that'd be part of it. So working out the kings 14 00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:28,880 Speaker 1: and we're all getting comfortable with each other. It's fun 15 00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:31,560 Speaker 1: to do it. Level you guys accomplished in trying again, 16 00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:35,080 Speaker 1: like I would assess. Yeah, we've we've created a true 17 00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:38,120 Speaker 1: like brotherhood around here. Uh you can see this atmosphere. 18 00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:40,120 Speaker 1: You see team meetings at night, just being around each 19 00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:42,400 Speaker 1: other at practice. We all we all love to hang 20 00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:44,040 Speaker 1: around each other. We all to see each like to 21 00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:46,800 Speaker 1: see each other do well and succeed, and individual drills 22 00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:49,120 Speaker 1: and team drills. It's it's the competition has been heated 23 00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:51,959 Speaker 1: up each each side of getting at each side back 24 00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:54,640 Speaker 1: to back every day. So it's fun. But we've we've 25 00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:57,000 Speaker 1: got this great camaraderie that we've got going on between 26 00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:59,200 Speaker 1: every side of the ball, and it's fun. You're three. 27 00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:02,360 Speaker 1: What's been different for you? How much more comfortable are you? Yeah? 28 00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:05,520 Speaker 1: I'm so much more comfortable. Um, what's different? I guess 29 00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:07,440 Speaker 1: it's part of just being the leader that had to 30 00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:08,720 Speaker 1: step up and be more of a leader with the 31 00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:11,800 Speaker 1: guys that we had to leave out, so big step there, 32 00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:14,880 Speaker 1: being more vocal, talking guys a lot about football on 33 00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:17,080 Speaker 1: the field, off the field, just making sure we're all 34 00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:20,280 Speaker 1: getting to the same page there mentally and then just physically. 35 00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:22,280 Speaker 1: The game's just it's all coming to me more and more. 36 00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:24,640 Speaker 1: Just getting more comfortable and everything we're doing within the system, 37 00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:26,800 Speaker 1: knowing the defense like the back of my hand, it's 38 00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:29,320 Speaker 1: it's all going to help going forward. How you ball, 39 00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:32,039 Speaker 1: I mean a good bit, I mean, I know a 40 00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:33,520 Speaker 1: good bit with these guys. We've got some guys that 41 00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:35,839 Speaker 1: can really stretch the field. So we knew that coming 42 00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:38,760 Speaker 1: into the off season and then going into the training camp. 43 00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:40,399 Speaker 1: That was a part of our game that we needed 44 00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:42,320 Speaker 1: to strengthen, we need to get better and with having 45 00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:44,280 Speaker 1: some guys that can stretch the field some point that 46 00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:46,959 Speaker 1: we all get on that same samekey there. I feel 47 00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:48,760 Speaker 1: that's one you don't live and die with that. But 48 00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:51,040 Speaker 1: again you feel the deep ball, it's not something you 49 00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:53,520 Speaker 1: live and die with. But do you what you have 50 00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:56,520 Speaker 1: to hit a certain percentage offense real you definitely got 51 00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:58,280 Speaker 1: to hit a certain percentage and sometimes you've got to 52 00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:01,080 Speaker 1: throw in and make the defense back up. So, as 53 00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:02,560 Speaker 1: you said, it's not a liver or die thing, but 54 00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:04,520 Speaker 1: we got to take advantage the opportunity when they give 55 00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:06,960 Speaker 1: it to us, because if not, they're just gonna sit 56 00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:08,639 Speaker 1: on underneath route. So we've got to we've got to 57 00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:10,000 Speaker 1: let him know that we can beat him over the 58 00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:13,560 Speaker 1: top and then make him pay otherwise to gaut do 59 00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:17,200 Speaker 1: that with you in that first game, Yeah, that was good. 60 00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:19,200 Speaker 1: That was I mean that one player wasn't necessarily the 61 00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:22,760 Speaker 1: greatest um start to that to that whole connection there, 62 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:24,600 Speaker 1: but he did a great job about finishing. That's a 63 00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:26,200 Speaker 1: big part that we talk about this deep all this 64 00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:27,880 Speaker 1: I'm gonna put it out there and you've got to 65 00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:29,400 Speaker 1: finish do a good job about it. So, I mean, 66 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:31,680 Speaker 1: we've me and h We've cultiqued a little bit through 67 00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:33,120 Speaker 1: that route, but he did a great job of just 68 00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,000 Speaker 1: coming out on the other end and trusting it. So 69 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:37,200 Speaker 1: that was important. What have you learned about Austin and 70 00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:42,160 Speaker 1: Hearns and some of the new guys just, I mean, honestly, 71 00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:44,320 Speaker 1: just how great of a teammates they are. There's some 72 00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:46,400 Speaker 1: of our the best teammates that we have on this 73 00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:50,000 Speaker 1: team offense and defensive, just knowing their guys and bringing energy. 74 00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:52,120 Speaker 1: Tavon's true leader, and he's been a leader out here 75 00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:54,400 Speaker 1: from the day that he's come in here. Just his 76 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:56,200 Speaker 1: energy in the locker room and energy brings out of 77 00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 1: practice that Edgie brings for the offense. So just having 78 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:01,280 Speaker 1: those guys that have come in and done a good 79 00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:03,560 Speaker 1: job of of being great teammates and then obviously they 80 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:05,080 Speaker 1: go out there and it all translate to the field 81 00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:07,200 Speaker 1: and they're great players and we're fortunate to have him. 82 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,480 Speaker 1: Is there somebody that's stuck out too? I mean, I'd 83 00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:16,240 Speaker 1: say Tayvon is a simple fact of in the other 84 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:17,800 Speaker 1: place he was. I didn't know he was as good 85 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 1: as receiver as he is. And and can run routes 86 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:21,520 Speaker 1: as well as he does and catches the ball every 87 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,360 Speaker 1: single time. So for me, from that standpoint that, I mean, 88 00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:26,400 Speaker 1: he's not just a gidget gadget guy. You don't have 89 00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:28,320 Speaker 1: to just run him on. Speech sweeps and all that 90 00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:30,240 Speaker 1: stuff obviously opens up the offense and you can use 91 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:31,519 Speaker 1: them there as well, but he's a guy that you 92 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:33,800 Speaker 1: can put out there inside outside and trust that he's 93 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:37,720 Speaker 1: gonna go get open. Yeah. I mean a young guy 94 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:41,280 Speaker 1: continuing to work. I mean smart guy. Uh so we 95 00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:43,600 Speaker 1: know that, Uh, we know he's smart. He's picking up 96 00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:45,480 Speaker 1: on everything, but he's got a little bit to work 97 00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:46,880 Speaker 1: on here and there, but he's showing a lot of 98 00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:49,160 Speaker 1: improvement and excited for us his future. That was the 99 00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:51,800 Speaker 1: meaning behind getting some of those scooters for Smmer teammates. 100 00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:54,720 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I mean just the offensive line. Those guys, 101 00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:56,000 Speaker 1: I mean, they do so much for me, I mean, 102 00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:58,560 Speaker 1: keeping me healthy, protecting me, And that was just a 103 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:00,400 Speaker 1: little treat there. I mean I've gotten one and they 104 00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:02,000 Speaker 1: all were trying to steal it and ride it. So 105 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:03,440 Speaker 1: I said, I figured the least I can do it 106 00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:05,440 Speaker 1: keep them off mindor the only way I was gonna 107 00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 1: be able keep them off minds, get them their own. 108 00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:10,040 Speaker 1: So you're saying you tried to do too much last year. 109 00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:11,800 Speaker 1: How is that something you can work on though, and 110 00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:14,640 Speaker 1: to control those instincts. They're just kind of natural to 111 00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:16,720 Speaker 1: make something happening. Yeah, I mean it starts a lot 112 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:18,000 Speaker 1: out here. I mean I think I went to the 113 00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:21,839 Speaker 1: training camp last year saying I'm I'm testing my risversy reward. 114 00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:23,600 Speaker 1: I know, I told y'all a lot that about that 115 00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:25,040 Speaker 1: last year, and I think I went to the games 116 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:27,159 Speaker 1: and we're still trying to do that too much. Um, 117 00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:29,840 Speaker 1: So it's about just coming out here, playing every practice, 118 00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:31,680 Speaker 1: every drill like it's the game, taking what the defense 119 00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:37,120 Speaker 1: gives me, being consistent everything that I do. No, not 120 00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:42,400 Speaker 1: at all. You're pretty good, he said. Everybody knows everything 121 00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:47,800 Speaker 1: goes see though I didn't hear about it. So what 122 00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:49,760 Speaker 1: do you say to the young guys who aren't assure 123 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:51,640 Speaker 1: of making this team as they take the field one 124 00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:53,480 Speaker 1: more time? What do you say to the young guys 125 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:55,680 Speaker 1: who know they're fighting first about on this team as 126 00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:57,760 Speaker 1: they get ready for preseason game number two? Yeah, I 127 00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:00,120 Speaker 1: mean it's an opportunity. And when once you get out there, 128 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:01,400 Speaker 1: I mean you come out of practice and you do 129 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 1: a lot of thinking and you're allowing the smoke go 130 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:04,800 Speaker 1: through your head and you're trying to figure out what 131 00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:06,480 Speaker 1: you gotta do. But I mean, coach Garret does a 132 00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 1: good job of telling them, and a lot of the 133 00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:09,880 Speaker 1: vets do as well as well as myself is letting 134 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:11,040 Speaker 1: them know me. When you get out in the game, 135 00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,359 Speaker 1: go play. I mean all that thinking, you've done that 136 00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:15,240 Speaker 1: all week long. Now when you got here is it's 137 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:17,159 Speaker 1: the same game you've been playing, So don't worry about it. 138 00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,240 Speaker 1: All you're putting on the star for the first time 139 00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:20,880 Speaker 1: or this or that or the second time or whatever 140 00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:23,520 Speaker 1: it is. But just go take advantage of this opportunity. 141 00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:25,000 Speaker 1: They go, they're gonna turn on the film and see 142 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,200 Speaker 1: how you're playing the game down here a long time. 143 00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:29,720 Speaker 1: How do you look forward that getting back to more 144 00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:35,159 Speaker 1: familiar surrounding, getting so exciting, so excited to get back. 145 00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:39,360 Speaker 1: How different is it this year? More focused? Oh yeah, 146 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,400 Speaker 1: what kind of camp he had? He's had a phenomenal camp. 147 00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:47,120 Speaker 1: I mean, honestly a great camp. Doing everything on the field, um, catching, running, 148 00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:49,480 Speaker 1: just as you said, just being in being in great shape, 149 00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:52,159 Speaker 1: being the tip top shape, leading the sprints as we 150 00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:54,920 Speaker 1: in practice. So he's been he's had a he's had 151 00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:56,840 Speaker 1: a great camp. Everything that we could ask for him. 152 00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,720 Speaker 1: So he's got a lot of improvements game. What you 153 00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:03,240 Speaker 1: excited to see about him more brought in passing game? Yeah, 154 00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:04,880 Speaker 1: I mean he's a guy that I mean obviously you 155 00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:06,479 Speaker 1: know he's gonna win in space. So anytime you can 156 00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:08,560 Speaker 1: get him in space, you can get him the ball quick. Uh. 157 00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:10,320 Speaker 1: And for me it's important, I mean going through my reads, 158 00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:11,760 Speaker 1: if you get to the check down a little bit quicker, 159 00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:13,039 Speaker 1: is it's gonna allow him to get some more yards 160 00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:15,160 Speaker 1: and make more people miss. So he can definitely help 161 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:16,720 Speaker 1: out a lot more in the passing game. He said 162 00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:18,599 Speaker 1: Marshall falk was who he kind of looks at and 163 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:21,440 Speaker 1: tries to so that that's kind of his that's a 164 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:26,440 Speaker 1: panacle of right. But how dangerous can he be if 165 00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:30,000 Speaker 1: he can even somewhat?
