1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:02,760
Speaker 1: You haven't bodies this week? Oh we have enough. Way,

2
00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:05,240
Speaker 1: the guys have been working at it. We're looking forward

3
00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:08,799
Speaker 1: to It's a it's a great challenge, but everybody's stepping up.

4
00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:11,880
Speaker 1: What have you seen from Ryan Conley that has you

5
00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:14,960
Speaker 1: allowed him to step into such a big role so fast? Well,

6
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:18,560
Speaker 1: I think the way Ryan prepares um he's obviously a

7
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:20,960
Speaker 1: good football player, but he prepares the right way during

8
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:23,599
Speaker 1: a week and has gotten himself ready to play and

9
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:26,079
Speaker 1: he's showing up on game day. How much the things changed?

10
00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:27,840
Speaker 1: I know what started in the second half of being

11
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:29,560
Speaker 1: the you know, the green dotting, the signal call. How

12
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:32,240
Speaker 1: much of that change things? Man? Well, it's a little

13
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:34,839
Speaker 1: bit something going from uh, having somebody to give you

14
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:38,280
Speaker 1: a call to making the calls. But it's kind of again,

15
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:39,920
Speaker 1: it's a little bit of a tribute to him in

16
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 1: the sense that he's preparing the way he should prepare.

17
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 1: He's on top of his game, he's he studies that,

18
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:47,440
Speaker 1: he's putting in the extra time and you just gotta

19
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:49,239
Speaker 1: be a little bit more vocal. Now, how much work

20
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:53,000
Speaker 1: did you get on that in the preseason, summer, making

21
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:57,720
Speaker 1: the costs at different times through the through the situations

22
00:00:57,760 --> 00:00:59,320
Speaker 1: he was in there and not not so much all

23
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 1: the time with the first group, but with the second group.

24
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:04,040
Speaker 1: So he has made calls to the defense out there,

25
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 1: like during the weeks of practice. Guys all have like

26
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:09,320
Speaker 1: the green dot on their helmet during practice, so they've

27
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 1: heard in preseason, they've heard it in practices, so they're

28
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:15,559
Speaker 1: used to it. Is that something he's done in college too? No,

29
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 1: college is usually all signals for unless they've changed something

30
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:20,760
Speaker 1: that I don't know. Does he surprised you with how

31
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:24,760
Speaker 1: quickly he's picked all of it up. Uh? No, happy

32
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 1: with what he's on. As we thought. When we had

33
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:28,960
Speaker 1: a chance to go and uh uh kind of scout

34
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 1: him and look at him, we thought he did have

35
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 1: some qualities that we really were excited about. Make sure

36
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 1: they all have the talk whatever during practice and practice

37
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 1: we we we have about like three or four of

38
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:44,039
Speaker 1: the guys that will have him. He still here, Well,

39
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 1: it's otherwise you're signaling with when the second group goes in,

40
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 1: you know, so it's one of those we rather than

41
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 1: have the change out. You know, it's just a league

42
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:51,560
Speaker 1: rule that you're only allowed to have one on the

43
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 1: field at a time. What have you seen from him

44
00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 1: so far. David's a quick learner. Uh, he's competitive his heck, Uh,

45
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 1: he's he's active, um, and he's picked things up in

46
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 1: a short period of time and he's been here, so

47
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 1: we're excited to see him play this weekend. What do

48
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 1: you guys like so much about Nate bringing him back?

49
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 1: I mean obviously probably more of a special team guy

50
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 1: when he was here before, but you know, bringing him

51
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 1: back when Ali goes down on other options out there.

52
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:19,240
Speaker 1: What do you like about him? Well, the one thing

53
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:22,640
Speaker 1: about it is Nate's extremely intelligent. Um, he understands our scheme.

54
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 1: He's been involved in our defenses and what knows what

55
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:27,959
Speaker 1: we do. Um. He's been out on the field for

56
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:30,240
Speaker 1: us before he was he was coming off an injury

57
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 1: last year, so he was a little bit. Uh. He's

58
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 1: moving better this year, you know, and that was what

59
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:37,919
Speaker 1: we're excited about that, you know, he has the opportunity

60
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 1: to be back with us. Now there's some thought that

61
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 1: maybe jos I could get promoted. I mean how close

62
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 1: to see what you see from him this summer. Well,

63
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 1: I like everything justo I is doing. He's been preparing, Uh,

64
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 1: does a great job in a meeting room. He's working

65
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 1: his table off. He's a guy that when I say this,

66
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:53,799
Speaker 1: he's one of those guys who has definitely gotten better

67
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:55,919
Speaker 1: since he's been here. What do you feel comfortable? Is

68
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 1: he at the point where you think you can put

69
00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:59,240
Speaker 1: him in a game if they called him out? That's

70
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 1: above my pay. I don't don't. I don't. All those guys,

71
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 1: all those guys have to if they were gonna be professionals,

72
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 1: they all have to prepare to be ready to make

73
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 1: the calls and make the plays out there. So that's

74
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 1: that's their job. That's your job or description. When you

75
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 1: have injuries, do you shorten your bench a little bit

76
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 1: in the sense that you might play guys more? Sure? Yeah,

77
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:23,679
Speaker 1: if you obviously, you know, we've got to have with

78
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,359
Speaker 1: a seven d X on game day. But if if

79
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 1: you're losing bodies, obviously somebody else has to step up

80
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:30,640
Speaker 1: and you have to find different roles for different people.

81
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 1: You can can any of your edge guys move inside

82
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 1: in a pinch if you need it. I know Lorenzo

83
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 1: had experienced there. I mean, is that something that you

84
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 1: guys can work with? Could we? Yeah? We we've we've

85
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 1: done that in the past, and there are guys that

86
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 1: can handle that. I think it's kinda we're gonna like

87
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 1: as we go into any game plan, we're trying to

88
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 1: take advantage of their skill sets and get them to

89
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 1: do what they do best. Way Out played in the

90
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:58,119
Speaker 1: first couple of games before the injury. He's been playing solid. Um,

91
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 1: he's you know, he's good shape, he's been working at it. Uh,

92
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 1: you know, he's he was active productive. Um. Obviously, you know,

93
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 1: we're just we're looking forward to getting him back. He's

94
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 1: doing everything you can in terms of rehabbing, and we're

95
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 1: looking forward to getting him back when he's healthy. You

96
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:17,240
Speaker 1: talked about scouting, uh Connolly Uh, and you liked some

97
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:19,599
Speaker 1: of the qualities. What were those qualities that you like

98
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 1: when you saw the Collins His intelligence, his quickness. Um.

99
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 1: You know, when when you talk to people about him

100
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:27,239
Speaker 1: that have been around him for you know a period

101
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 1: of time when he was at Wisconsin, Uh, their comments,

102
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 1: I think that those guys what they saw on him,

103
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 1: uh kind of intrigued as a coach and as a scout,

104
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:35,840
Speaker 1: as an organization
