It is Monday, March 2 00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:08,280 Speaker 1: twenty fifth, and the NFL Owners meetings are taking place 3 00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:10,799 Speaker 1: this week down in Florida, and to kick things off, 4 00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:12,880 Speaker 1: head coach John Harbaugh I met with the media for 5 00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:17,680 Speaker 1: about thirty minutes this morning during the NFL coaches breakfast 6 00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:20,920 Speaker 1: and their media session. So here's what head coach John 7 00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:24,600 Speaker 1: Harbaugh had to say during that time with the media. 8 00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:28,520 Speaker 2: So, if we can start off with your offensive line, 9 00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:31,080 Speaker 2: you're replacing three starters there. 10 00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:32,879 Speaker 3: What's kind of your vision there? 11 00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:36,280 Speaker 4: I mean, do you think, you know, expect me to 12 00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:38,960 Speaker 4: be a free agents a guy stepping up and how's. 13 00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:40,680 Speaker 3: What do you kind of expect that the offensive well, 14 00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:43,120 Speaker 3: I think I expect it to be better than last year. 15 00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:45,080 Speaker 3: You know, that's always the goals to improve. So along 16 00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:46,960 Speaker 3: the offensive line, we want to be even better than 17 00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:49,400 Speaker 3: we were last year. I thought. I think Joe Dellas 18 00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:52,559 Speaker 3: Sandras is an amazing job coaching the offensive line, and 19 00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:54,560 Speaker 3: so you know we've still got Joe, so that's a 20 00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:57,440 Speaker 3: big plus. We're able to bring Ronnie back. I'm excited 21 00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:01,080 Speaker 3: about that. Ronnie regaining his form really with his health 22 00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:03,560 Speaker 3: and strength, that's gonna be a big plus four US. 23 00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:06,560 Speaker 3: You know, Tyler is just one of To me, I 24 00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:09,120 Speaker 3: think he's the best center. I'll go with Tyler if 25 00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:12,240 Speaker 3: I'm making that vote along those lines, and then we've 26 00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:13,720 Speaker 3: got to find who the next guys are gonna be. 27 00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:16,319 Speaker 3: We have guys in house, we have a free agents 28 00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:18,400 Speaker 3: that we've signed, obviously, you know that, and then we've 29 00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:21,200 Speaker 3: got the draft. So I'm confident we'll have a very 30 00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:22,280 Speaker 3: good offensive line. 31 00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:25,280 Speaker 2: You just picked up Josh Jones, you know what? What 32 00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:28,080 Speaker 2: made him appealing to you guys, And it's a nice 33 00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:30,200 Speaker 2: It seems like he has some versatility because you do 34 00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:32,080 Speaker 2: have three open starting. 35 00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:33,920 Speaker 3: Spots right now. No doubt he's been. He's been, you know, 36 00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:36,760 Speaker 3: he's been on the left side both in Arizona and 37 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,840 Speaker 3: in Houston. And he's very athletic. He's a former third 38 00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:41,840 Speaker 3: round pick, kind of like John Simpson a little bit, 39 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:43,479 Speaker 3: if you think about it, a very similar type guy. 40 00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:45,240 Speaker 3: And John came to us and had a great year, 41 00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:48,000 Speaker 3: signed a big contract. You know, Uh, he didn't have 42 00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:49,920 Speaker 3: a lot of options going into last year. I don't 43 00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:52,640 Speaker 3: think anybody's I don't remember you guys being so confident. 44 00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:54,800 Speaker 3: You know that John was gonna play that well, who knew, 45 00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,880 Speaker 3: you know, but he was determined to get better and 46 00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:00,240 Speaker 3: he did. And I feel like Josh is, you know, 47 00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:03,000 Speaker 3: kind of in that same place. And he's a talented guy. Hey, John, 48 00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:07,400 Speaker 3: where do you like the special teams? We'll put the kickoff? 49 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,680 Speaker 3: We'll propose right. Well. The thing the thing about that 50 00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:16,160 Speaker 3: that I really appreciate, really appreciate about Roger Goodell is 51 00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:19,360 Speaker 3: that the passion and the determination to get the kickoff 52 00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:21,640 Speaker 3: back into the game, to keep the game as exciting 53 00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:24,400 Speaker 3: as it can possibly be. I mean, the kickoff return 54 00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:26,400 Speaker 3: has been around for a long time in football. You know. 55 00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:28,640 Speaker 3: I'm kind of kind of passionate about that myself, and 56 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:30,880 Speaker 3: I just think I think for Roger to be championing 57 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,440 Speaker 3: that and get behind that and to be exploring every 58 00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:36,480 Speaker 3: opportunity to keep the kickoff returning the game, make it exciting. 59 00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:38,639 Speaker 3: That's that's what you know, I'm happy about. And I 60 00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:39,640 Speaker 3: think that's the right thing to do. 61 00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:45,400 Speaker 4: Is there a concern that just a transition to you know, 62 00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:47,400 Speaker 4: the different line man, Yeah, it's gonna be. 63 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:50,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, everybody understands. Yeah, Cliff, you're not gonna leave it alone. 64 00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:54,120 Speaker 3: That Cliff, that's good. I appreciate it. Well, that's the thing. 65 00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:56,480 Speaker 3: It's always into details, and that's the challenge we're gonna 66 00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:58,920 Speaker 3: have right now with that. I mean, the line of 67 00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:01,560 Speaker 3: scrimmage is a big part of football. It's been around 68 00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,720 Speaker 3: for quite a while, and that play kind of takes 69 00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:06,639 Speaker 3: the line of scrimmage out of it. So it's a 70 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:08,440 Speaker 3: it's a drastic kind of move that's going to be 71 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:10,799 Speaker 3: way different if it gets passed than what we've seen 72 00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:12,799 Speaker 3: out a kickoff and kickoff return in the past. It's 73 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:14,920 Speaker 3: just a different kind of a football play. So I 74 00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:18,120 Speaker 3: just appreciate that we're exploring every option, hopefully explore every 75 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,040 Speaker 3: option up to that point to where we've got to 76 00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:21,919 Speaker 3: make that kind of a that kind of a move. 77 00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:23,280 Speaker 3: So is that the right move at this time? I 78 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:25,720 Speaker 3: don't know. I think that's to be determined, but I'm 79 00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:27,960 Speaker 3: confident that, you know, we'll come to a good conclusion somehow. 80 00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:30,720 Speaker 2: Explain to the people yesterday, what did you feel like 81 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:32,160 Speaker 2: the feedback was the reaction? 82 00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:34,359 Speaker 3: Do you think it was well received? It was well received. 83 00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:36,360 Speaker 3: With the part that's well received is the idea that 84 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:38,440 Speaker 3: we want to get returns back. Everybody wants to get 85 00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:40,800 Speaker 3: returns back, so everybody's on the same page with that. 86 00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:42,360 Speaker 3: How you go about doing that? There's a lot of 87 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:44,640 Speaker 3: questions because you know it's a big change. So I 88 00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:46,480 Speaker 3: think they're just a lot of questions. John, I know 89 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:48,720 Speaker 3: it's a might probably a free agency. Got cug with 90 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,560 Speaker 3: us about Patrick Queen going to the Steelers out rab 91 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:53,120 Speaker 3: and what can you do for that? Well, I mean, 92 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:56,280 Speaker 3: Patrick's a great player, great guy. I love Patrick Queen. 93 00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:58,880 Speaker 3: He's one of my all time favorite people. You know, 94 00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:02,120 Speaker 3: we're gonna be friends for ever. Uh. I'll give Hi 95 00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 3: a hug, I guess before the game, but you know 96 00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:05,600 Speaker 3: it's uh, and I'll root for him except for then. 97 00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:08,760 Speaker 3: But he'll bring a great football player, great attitude, great 98 00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,920 Speaker 3: work ethic, everything he brought to us. A big fan 99 00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:13,680 Speaker 3: of pack Wings. At the same topic, what are you 100 00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:17,880 Speaker 3: guys losing? Kevin Zyler run Awaiian's game, right? Kevin Zeitler 101 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:21,960 Speaker 3: all ball, every single day. Ball and bakery. I mean 102 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:26,239 Speaker 3: his wife bakes the best stuff. So I think, yeah, everything. 103 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:28,080 Speaker 3: I mean, everybody in Detroit and that building is gonna 104 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:29,679 Speaker 3: get some of the best baked goods they've ever gotten 105 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:32,240 Speaker 3: had in their life. But Kevin's a backs on football player. 106 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:34,040 Speaker 3: He's got a lot left in the tank. Very tough, 107 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:37,520 Speaker 3: physical guy, kind of the you know a lot of ways. 108 00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:40,200 Speaker 3: You know, it was about the personality of our team. 109 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:42,400 Speaker 3: He kind of establishes that way. Hey, you think the 110 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:48,240 Speaker 3: hip rules gonas? Do I think it's gonna pass. It's like, 111 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:51,080 Speaker 3: I'm not a politician, Cliff, I don't know that stuff. 112 00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:57,760 Speaker 5: Jared, Jared, Sorry, yeah, okay, I mean you got your Mike. 113 00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:01,679 Speaker 5: I can't see you guys, No, Jared, I do. Uh, 114 00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:04,600 Speaker 5: I don't know, but I'm for it. I think the 115 00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:06,640 Speaker 5: hip drop, taking the hip drop out of the game 116 00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:08,360 Speaker 5: is the right thing to do. I think again, Roger 117 00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:09,599 Speaker 5: and Troy on the right path with that. 118 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,200 Speaker 3: The competition for me, he's in the right path with that. Uh, 119 00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:14,400 Speaker 3: it'd be good. It'd be good if it does pass, 120 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:15,400 Speaker 3: in my opinion. 121 00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:19,880 Speaker 2: John, In replacing Patrick, you have Trenton Simpson, who I'm 122 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:21,720 Speaker 2: sorry about that pretty Where are you with him as 123 00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,760 Speaker 2: far as how he progressed last year and some thoughts 124 00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:27,360 Speaker 2: on bringing that Chris Ford, do you feel like you 125 00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:30,240 Speaker 2: kind of have you know that have that covered?

That's terrible it's like I gotta look, 169 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,320 Speaker 3: but you got the cameras here, the kind of it's 170 00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:32,800 Speaker 3: hard to look at everybody. So I have had my excuse. 171 00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:38,360 Speaker 3: The young tight ends evolving, you know and growing is 172 00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:39,640 Speaker 3: gonna be a big part of what we're doing, with 173 00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:42,200 Speaker 3: no doubt. So, like I think Charlie's gonna take a 174 00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:44,800 Speaker 3: big step, Isaiah's gonna take even another big step. It 175 00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:46,760 Speaker 3: took a big step last year. He's a talented guy. 176 00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:49,920 Speaker 3: Uh you know those two guys. We still got Patrick 177 00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:51,720 Speaker 3: Carr kind of doing what he does in that kind 178 00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:54,720 Speaker 3: of hybrid role. And then Mark, you know Mark, Mark 179 00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:56,920 Speaker 3: is the star. He's one of the stars, the superstars 180 00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:59,600 Speaker 3: in the National Football League. So they're all they're all 181 00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:01,640 Speaker 3: receiving tight ends, are all willing blockers. 182 00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:02,360 Speaker 6: Uh. 183 00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:04,120 Speaker 3: So I think we're a good, really good place at 184 00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:07,160 Speaker 3: tight end kind of you guys want Bullard to develop 185 00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:09,440 Speaker 3: into the kind of more inline guy or receiving a 186 00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:13,080 Speaker 3: flood who's that, Charlie? Charlie, Well, I think being an 187 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:15,080 Speaker 3: inline guy would be great for us because we kind 188 00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:17,400 Speaker 3: of need that, you know. So, I mean he's six 189 00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:20,680 Speaker 3: foot six, two undred and seventy seventy five pounds, right, 190 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,080 Speaker 3: that's a big body, you know, and Charlie's a tough 191 00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:25,679 Speaker 3: guy and he's really determined to be a good blocker. 192 00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:27,760 Speaker 3: So that would be the step that you'd like to 193 00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:31,080 Speaker 3: see him take. I trust him as a receiver, just 194 00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:32,880 Speaker 3: a big target and all that, but I'd love to 195 00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:35,360 Speaker 3: see him, you know, keep keep growing as a blocker, 196 00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:37,080 Speaker 3: got wid revenue. 197 00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:37,960 Speaker 1: You kind of got the. 198 00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,880 Speaker 3: Wide receivers into the visits himself there and get some 199 00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:41,680 Speaker 3: turnover there. 200 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:46,920 Speaker 2: How do you sort of biginal and obviously last year 201 00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:50,280 Speaker 2: and thinks that Dell and how do you sort of 202 00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:51,120 Speaker 2: see that that. 203 00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:53,920 Speaker 6: You come and try to watch out to help him sad? 204 00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:57,960 Speaker 3: Well, yeah, the uh you know, we drafted two great 205 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,000 Speaker 3: players in the last three years in the first round, 206 00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:03,800 Speaker 3: you know, and I would think that Rashad and Zey 207 00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:07,600 Speaker 3: would would be excited, you know, to kind of step 208 00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:09,079 Speaker 3: to the front together. 209 00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:09,400 Speaker 6: You know. 210 00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:11,560 Speaker 3: That's that's where it kind of begins. And then you know, 211 00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:14,320 Speaker 3: we get we get a veteran player back who and 212 00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:16,319 Speaker 3: Nelly who did such a great job last year and 213 00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:18,480 Speaker 3: kind of he was a former first round pick. You know, 214 00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:20,880 Speaker 3: he played at a high level. He's real versatile player. 215 00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:23,440 Speaker 3: But then you know, after that we got Thailand. You know, 216 00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:25,480 Speaker 3: I think Tyland gets a chance he's gonna do well. 217 00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:27,600 Speaker 3: We got well Sean Ryan and there as a young guy. 218 00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:29,199 Speaker 3: So you never know how those young guys are gonna 219 00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:31,800 Speaker 3: keep developing. But we think all of our young guys 220 00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:34,800 Speaker 3: are really talented guys. And when we got the draft, 221 00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:36,520 Speaker 3: so I think we're gonna be in a great shaper 222 00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:38,840 Speaker 3: wide receiver. Like I'm really excited. To me, it's you know, 223 00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:41,880 Speaker 3: and I'm losing Odell obviously, you know he's I love Odell. 224 00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:45,079 Speaker 3: But to give those young guys a chances, yeah, they do. 225 00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:49,560 Speaker 4: John, How do you feel Lamar's success has maybe changed 226 00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:52,760 Speaker 4: how quarterbacks get evaluated coming out of college. 227 00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:56,160 Speaker 3: I think, uh, I think it's changed everything. I think 228 00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:58,880 Speaker 3: Lamar's success and how Lamar plays the game has changed 229 00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:01,880 Speaker 3: everything in terms of how quarterbacks are viewed, how they're 230 00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:04,280 Speaker 3: viewed by scouts, how they're viewed by coaches, how they're 231 00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:07,800 Speaker 3: viewed by the fans, you know, how they're viewed by society. 232 00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:09,800 Speaker 3: And that's a that's a really cool thing. 233 00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:12,679 Speaker 4: Did you think that impacts kids coming out now and 234 00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:14,160 Speaker 4: kind of what they viewed. 235 00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:14,680 Speaker 2: Their ceiling as? 236 00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:17,280 Speaker 3: I absolutely do. To me, it's A. It's a it's 237 00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:20,080 Speaker 3: just something that shows It's just one more piece in 238 00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:23,920 Speaker 3: the puzzle that shows young people, you know, what they 239 00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:25,679 Speaker 3: can do and what they're capable of doing, what's out 240 00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:27,440 Speaker 3: there for them in this country, and that's a great thing. 241 00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:29,960 Speaker 5: New staff in Washington, Do you guys think you'll keep 242 00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:30,959 Speaker 5: the joint practices going. 243 00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:34,040 Speaker 3: We have to see. We haven't got the preseason schedule yet, 244 00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:36,040 Speaker 3: so I hope we can. Uh, we'll just have to 245 00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:37,800 Speaker 3: see how that goes. I know Dan a little bit, 246 00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:39,520 Speaker 3: and we'll see if it's something they want to do. 247 00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:43,520 Speaker 2: Yes, John, do you do you are you still interested 248 00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:46,840 Speaker 2: in bringing either David or Duvin Book back or are 249 00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:48,480 Speaker 2: you still kind of look at that we're gunning crack 250 00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:51,960 Speaker 2: for a kid knowing that, Yeah, you just get Dereck Henry, 251 00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:53,240 Speaker 2: but Keith Mitchell is. 252 00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:56,240 Speaker 3: Still never going to be coming this way back. Yeah. 253 00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:58,120 Speaker 3: I think we're just gonna kind of see how it 254 00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:01,240 Speaker 3: shakes out. You know. It's uh some moving pieces to 255 00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:03,200 Speaker 3: that part, you know, and I'll just kind of let 256 00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:05,280 Speaker 3: Eric candle out. But if we bring someone back, if 257 00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:06,840 Speaker 3: we bring one of those two guys back, I'd be 258 00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:09,480 Speaker 3: happy to do it. If we're not able to do it. 259 00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:12,400 Speaker 3: You know, we'll we'll find some young guys. And I 260 00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:14,800 Speaker 3: don't even talk to you since Arthur Letty's signe. 261 00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:17,719 Speaker 4: You're talking about what he brings, you know, coming back 262 00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:20,840 Speaker 4: to that slot. But he's and also the versatility of 263 00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:23,720 Speaker 4: your secondary kind of with so many guys can play. 264 00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:27,160 Speaker 3: More positions, it kind of goes hand in hand. I mean, 265 00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:30,319 Speaker 3: your point is exactly right. Arthur can plays. He's a 266 00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:32,959 Speaker 3: great slot, but he can play outside if you needn't 267 00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:34,880 Speaker 3: play outside. He's a special teams player too. He's a 268 00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:37,040 Speaker 3: good player across the board. I just love the way 269 00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:39,880 Speaker 3: he plays. I like his style. You know, the guys 270 00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:42,320 Speaker 3: all hard. He's a talented guy. He's always been an 271 00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:45,000 Speaker 3: underrated kind of a guy. And he, like he said, 272 00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:48,200 Speaker 3: he found a home with us in Baltimore. And then 273 00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:50,079 Speaker 3: you know, look at a guy like Gardarius Washington. Here's 274 00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:52,120 Speaker 3: another virtual player. He can play in the slot for us. 275 00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:54,440 Speaker 3: When he was healthy, he's played great. Hopefully he can 276 00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:56,520 Speaker 3: you know, get a whole season under his belt. But 277 00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:58,679 Speaker 3: he can also play safety, so he gives us a 278 00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:01,240 Speaker 3: swing guy there. Then you know Marlin who plays outside 279 00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:03,200 Speaker 3: but he can play in the slot, play all across 280 00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:04,320 Speaker 3: the board on either side. 281 00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:04,760 Speaker 6: Uh. 282 00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:07,480 Speaker 3: And then Brandon can do the same, but he's more 283 00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:10,360 Speaker 3: outside although he can go to safety. So those guys 284 00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:13,000 Speaker 3: being versatile is a big plus. John, I know every 285 00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:17,880 Speaker 3: offenses always evolving. But you know with Derrick Henry New 286 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:20,160 Speaker 3: you know, a different offensive look to the offensive line. 287 00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:22,720 Speaker 4: How different do you think this offense would a more 288 00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:24,800 Speaker 4: will look for some time you see you want. 289 00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:27,680 Speaker 3: To, Uh, I don't know, you never know. I mean 290 00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:30,120 Speaker 3: it'll look different, There's no doubt about that. That's the 291 00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:32,760 Speaker 3: one thing that we believe in in keeping it moving. 292 00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:35,520 Speaker 3: You know, you can't, you can never keep it the same. 293 00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:39,800 Speaker 3: My wife's she reads a lot of sniper books, you know, 294 00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:42,959 Speaker 3: and she showed me this quote on the plane coming 295 00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:45,160 Speaker 3: down that one of the one of the snipers from 296 00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:47,080 Speaker 3: Afghanistan was talking about and they were talking about one 297 00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 3: of their missions and whoever they were going against in 298 00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:54,640 Speaker 3: war created a pattern and uh, and the sniper was 299 00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:55,640 Speaker 3: able to take advantage of it. 300 00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:55,800 Speaker 6: Right. 301 00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:58,880 Speaker 3: It's like, no patterns, you know, we don't want patterns. 302 00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:01,120 Speaker 3: We don't want to be predictable in what we're doing. 303 00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:05,840 Speaker 3: To use the analogy, Okay, I'm not advocating for snipers 304 00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:08,240 Speaker 3: or something like that, right, just be clear. But you 305 00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:10,079 Speaker 3: know you can learn lessons from a lot of people, right, 306 00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:12,560 Speaker 3: So yeah, we want to keep it moving. I'm gonna 307 00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:15,640 Speaker 3: be sorry I said that. I think I see Michelle 308 00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:19,600 Speaker 3: and shaking her head like not good, not good, John, I. 309 00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:22,480 Speaker 2: Know, clown, he's taking some business or in some reports 310 00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:24,720 Speaker 2: of other teams have an interest where are you guys 311 00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:27,640 Speaker 2: with him maintaining dialogue?

And that's kind of how 345 00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:55,200 Speaker 3: you get better if they keep winning. For when you're 346 00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:59,040 Speaker 3: gonna go with someone else, you're back your message. Yeah, 347 00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:01,080 Speaker 3: you just kind of do it by the opportunities you 348 00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:02,960 Speaker 3: get to people that you have, So we'll have we'll 349 00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:06,440 Speaker 3: have someone in that room that's kind of have somebody 350 00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:08,800 Speaker 3: in mind right now, so we'll see if that if 351 00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:10,960 Speaker 3: that shakes out, kind of a young guy, younger coach 352 00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:15,200 Speaker 3: kind of in that role. Is there a kind of 353 00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:19,040 Speaker 3: a trait that you guys on from your tone, you know, 354 00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:21,680 Speaker 3: right Tack, we do a part of a les saving 355 00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:24,400 Speaker 3: kind of shoot the gap stuff act, you know, being 356 00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:27,160 Speaker 3: those stuff. Is there something that's unworking wants to use 357 00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:29,880 Speaker 3: you guys kind of want to prioritize that back on 358 00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:31,680 Speaker 3: the dot one spot, Yeah, I mean, I think the 359 00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:33,440 Speaker 3: biggest thing is that you know, Alignment have to the 360 00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:36,440 Speaker 3: bottom line is that when you watch tape, is Aligneman 361 00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:39,040 Speaker 3: is he blocking people? You know, you've got to be 362 00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:40,760 Speaker 3: able to block people, you know. I know it's like 363 00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:43,480 Speaker 3: over simplistic because you get into you know, skill sets 364 00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:47,400 Speaker 3: and foot speed and range and moving ability versus anchor 365 00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:48,840 Speaker 3: and all these different kinds of things that you kind 366 00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:50,880 Speaker 3: of got to lay out. But to me, can they 367 00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:52,400 Speaker 3: control the block and finish the block? 368 00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:53,040 Speaker 7: You know? 369 00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:55,320 Speaker 3: So you know, you know Daniel, you say he's more 370 00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:56,880 Speaker 3: of a gap scheme guy because of his size and 371 00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:59,640 Speaker 3: his hip you can come off the ball, right, and 372 00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:01,280 Speaker 3: that's what we want Daniel to do because that's what 373 00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:02,960 Speaker 3: he was kind of born to do. But he can 374 00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:04,720 Speaker 3: he can make a reach block too. He's got great 375 00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:07,600 Speaker 3: feet and he can sustain a block. So the ability 376 00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:09,520 Speaker 3: to sustain a block either way to me, whether it's 377 00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:12,880 Speaker 3: run or pass pass, zoner gap or a man drive block, 378 00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:16,120 Speaker 3: he's really the bottom line. And then where they kind 379 00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:18,440 Speaker 3: of maybe excel a little bit more, you kind of 380 00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:20,560 Speaker 3: kind of game plan and call plays a little more. 381 00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:24,000 Speaker 3: That way, it's before he's gonna be ready for is 382 00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:24,640 Speaker 3: he fully go? 383 00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:25,160 Speaker 7: Full go? 384 00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:27,320 Speaker 3: Now he's full go. He'll be full go when you 385 00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:30,240 Speaker 3: come back for the off season. Yeah, how is his 386 00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:31,160 Speaker 3: Snoot's not coming. 387 00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:33,040 Speaker 4: Back as the backup and he's talking about the backup 388 00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:35,880 Speaker 4: for the weston the league and Josh and learn what 389 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:36,480 Speaker 4: you see and. 390 00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:39,400 Speaker 3: From what you see can god Yeah, I mean Josh, 391 00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:41,160 Speaker 3: Josh would be the backup quarterback. 392 00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:41,440 Speaker 6: You know. 393 00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:43,960 Speaker 3: Uh he's uh, he's coming back. 394 00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:44,720 Speaker 2: Uh. 395 00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:46,400 Speaker 3: Thrilled to heave him back. I think he's he's he 396 00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:48,360 Speaker 3: can still play at a really high level. He knows 397 00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:51,480 Speaker 3: the offense inside. Now he contributes to the offense. He 398 00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:54,560 Speaker 3: and Lamar have a great relationship. So I think he 399 00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:57,680 Speaker 3: brings so much to us. Malik is you know, kind 400 00:16:57,720 --> 00:16:59,920 Speaker 3: of just an opportunity for him. He's a great guy. 401 00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:04,080 Speaker 3: I love love his personality. From what I can see, 402 00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:06,240 Speaker 3: his work ethic is really good, all those kind of things. 403 00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:08,639 Speaker 3: Uh So that's just see what happens with that and 404 00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:11,000 Speaker 3: see how he looks when we get out there. What 405 00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:16,040 Speaker 3: kind of problems did Aaron done? Was well, we just 406 00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:18,720 Speaker 3: talked about lineman be able to be able to block people. 407 00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:20,520 Speaker 3: That was kind of the trade. The defining trade for 408 00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:23,720 Speaker 3: Lineman is blocking people. Right, Aaron Donald's pretty much unblockable, 409 00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:28,119 Speaker 3: you know with one guy. Uh really the ability for 410 00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:30,359 Speaker 3: him to ruin the play before the play gets started, 411 00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:32,720 Speaker 3: I would say he jumps out in my mind, you know, 412 00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:34,639 Speaker 3: he makes one little movement or twitches or kind of 413 00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:36,240 Speaker 3: looks a certain way. Next you know, he's in the 414 00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:38,959 Speaker 3: backfield making a tackle and you're kind of like, what happened. 415 00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:42,320 Speaker 3: I seemed to make a habit of doing that offenses. 416 00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:45,280 Speaker 3: You guy's great at what he did me with. That's 417 00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:48,800 Speaker 3: twenty nineteen. If he didn't do anything, we put a 418 00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:49,639 Speaker 3: couple of guys on him. 419 00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:55,719 Speaker 4: That was a think of the drawing, but obviously been 420 00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:58,679 Speaker 4: injuries the last couple of years, kept from block. Can 421 00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:01,040 Speaker 4: you talk about where he is and how important of 422 00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:03,480 Speaker 4: the year is should be for him? Get kind of 423 00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:05,480 Speaker 4: you know, so what he's what are you gonna do? 424 00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:07,920 Speaker 3: Yeah? I think David's gonna just I think he's gonna 425 00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:10,240 Speaker 3: break out, you know. I think he and a Dafe 426 00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:12,560 Speaker 3: are you know, gonna be partners in crime? 427 00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:12,920 Speaker 2: You know. 428 00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:15,600 Speaker 3: I think those guys are gonna play great together. Uh, 429 00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:18,200 Speaker 3: they're they're raided role man. I mean every time I 430 00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:19,640 Speaker 3: talk to him, every time I see him the broom 431 00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:23,720 Speaker 3: with enthusiasm, they're they're they're working hard. He's healthy, They're 432 00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:25,840 Speaker 3: both healthy. Can't wait to get to work with those 433 00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:29,720 Speaker 3: guys are good. Hey, I'm just. 434 00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:33,359 Speaker 7: Curious what's your process or you know, going through with 435 00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:36,640 Speaker 7: your coordinators from last year, the things that you kind 436 00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:40,040 Speaker 7: of said that obviously you like as you didn't like, 437 00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:42,160 Speaker 7: and then if you can highlight some of the things 438 00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:45,920 Speaker 7: yourself as you move into this season, in particular offense, 439 00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:49,240 Speaker 7: you know, you guys very far again, very well, but 440 00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:51,480 Speaker 7: what's the next Eschel one that you want to see? 441 00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:54,080 Speaker 3: The offensive all too? Yeah, that's kind of the bottom 442 00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:56,040 Speaker 3: line kind of what you said, they're at the the 443 00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:58,119 Speaker 3: the last part of it, I think, more than anything 444 00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:00,680 Speaker 3: is just keep improving and getting better. So, you know, 445 00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:02,840 Speaker 3: special teams wise, with Chris Horton, who I think is 446 00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:05,040 Speaker 3: an amazing coach, you know, we've got we're looking at 447 00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:08,960 Speaker 3: the new kickoff rules and then uh personnel and then scheme, 448 00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:11,440 Speaker 3: so you know, where can we tweak the scheme and 449 00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:13,800 Speaker 3: and the way we teach our techniques. So that's kind 450 00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:16,560 Speaker 3: of set, but there's still ways we can improve. Defensively, 451 00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:18,240 Speaker 3: We'll start with Zach Orr. I mean, Zach's gonna be 452 00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:20,880 Speaker 3: a new coordinator. We've got you know, new coaches on defense, 453 00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:23,440 Speaker 3: so that's gonna be huge. I mean, that's a that's 454 00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:27,040 Speaker 3: taking what we do with and adding the ideas and 455 00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:29,920 Speaker 3: the talents and new coaches haven't taken Zach's personality and 456 00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:31,040 Speaker 3: putting his stamp on it. 457 00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:31,719 Speaker 6: Uh. 458 00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:35,560 Speaker 3: Then offensively first year to second year is big. So 459 00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:40,240 Speaker 3: the opportunity to take an offense that was pretty dramatically different, 460 00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:43,399 Speaker 3: you know, we was it was like the old offense 461 00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:45,280 Speaker 3: or the previous offense, and the fact that it was 462 00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:47,399 Speaker 3: so different from what everybody else was doing. So I 463 00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:50,119 Speaker 3: think it's it's it's alike in that it's different, but 464 00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:52,720 Speaker 3: it's definitely different than what we did. So with that 465 00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:55,040 Speaker 3: there comes a lot of a lot of nuances, a 466 00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:56,800 Speaker 3: lot of a lot of details that you've got to 467 00:19:57,119 --> 00:20:01,760 Speaker 3: you know, become really good at to tech plays and 468 00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:03,440 Speaker 3: the way you do it in this offense is different 469 00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:05,240 Speaker 3: than the way you did in the previous office we 470 00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:07,240 Speaker 3: were running, So our ability to take the next step 471 00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:10,440 Speaker 3: Todd leading that got great coaches and Greg Lewis and 472 00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:14,680 Speaker 3: Willie Taggart, George Goatsee all those guys just do a 473 00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:18,719 Speaker 3: phenomenal job working together, Travis Switzer of building this thing. 474 00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:22,800 Speaker 3: So we're kind of we're way way underwater right now 475 00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:25,040 Speaker 3: working on taking the next step in our offense, and 476 00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:26,399 Speaker 3: I'm excited about where we're going at. 477 00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:30,560 Speaker 2: Thanks John, I'm sorry if asked us already speaks to 478 00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:32,000 Speaker 2: a special teams background. 479 00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:34,000 Speaker 3: I'm curious to hear your thoughts on the kick off 480 00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:36,160 Speaker 3: most of them. Yeah, and we talked about that. I'm 481 00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:38,600 Speaker 3: just I'm excited about the I'm excited about I just 482 00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:41,119 Speaker 3: think Roger Goodell is doing a great job of driving 483 00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:43,520 Speaker 3: bringing the trying to bring the kickoff return back into 484 00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:45,639 Speaker 3: the game and make it exciting for the fans. The 485 00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:48,560 Speaker 3: fans the fans like excitement, right, So you want to 486 00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:50,520 Speaker 3: play that's more than a ceremonial play, and it's been 487 00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:54,000 Speaker 3: a ceremonial play really for the last number of years, 488 00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:55,800 Speaker 3: and so a way to bring it back and bring 489 00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:58,000 Speaker 3: it back safely, that's what I'm for. How we go 490 00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:00,480 Speaker 3: about doing that, that's the conversation. It is not easy, 491 00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:02,720 Speaker 3: but we'll come to something really good. But look up 492 00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:05,160 Speaker 3: the play is that gonna be hard to get over 493 00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:07,240 Speaker 3: all way, but uh, well there's a lot. There's a 494 00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:09,119 Speaker 3: lot too. It's just really different. You know, it doesn't 495 00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:10,800 Speaker 3: have a line of scrimmage. It's just a different play 496 00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:12,639 Speaker 3: to get your arms around. And really the biggest thing 497 00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:15,000 Speaker 3: about it when you really dig dig down deep, is 498 00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:18,560 Speaker 3: that there's just unpredictable. There's a lot of unintended consequences 499 00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:20,000 Speaker 3: and you don't know what it's gonna look like. So 500 00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:21,920 Speaker 3: that's what everybody's kind of trying to get their arms around. 501 00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:24,800 Speaker 6: John Fossil said yesterday, I think you asked the most 502 00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:26,960 Speaker 6: questions when he was presenting it to the group. 503 00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:29,720 Speaker 3: What were your questions? And is that it's your assessment 504 00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:33,320 Speaker 3: it is, and uh, and his answers were very good. 505 00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:35,560 Speaker 3: And John did a great job and and and Darren 506 00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:37,399 Speaker 3: Rizzy Rizz did a great job too. Those guys are 507 00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:40,760 Speaker 3: great coaches. And I think they were tasked with making 508 00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:44,240 Speaker 3: that play work and uh, they went to work on 509 00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:45,440 Speaker 3: that and they figure out a way to make the 510 00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:48,720 Speaker 3: play workable. So I'm satisfied that the play's workable. I 511 00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:50,840 Speaker 3: don't know what it's gonna look like. I'm not sure 512 00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:53,440 Speaker 3: there's not a better answer maybe, but uh, that's what 513 00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:55,600 Speaker 3: you know. Everybody's gonna put their heads together and kind 514 00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:57,400 Speaker 3: of decide then really just to see how it works 515 00:21:57,440 --> 00:21:59,639 Speaker 3: out to you a lot on Shani. 516 00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:01,680 Speaker 6: When you're in the vote for yes or no or 517 00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:03,639 Speaker 6: you don't think you guys had conversations about it. 518 00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:05,800 Speaker 3: Uh, yeah, we talked about last night as a matter 519 00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:07,560 Speaker 3: of fact. So I don't know what we're gonna do yet. 520 00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:12,160 Speaker 3: We'll see, honestly, real football. I think it makes sense. 521 00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:14,639 Speaker 3: The Eagle's proposal. Yeah, it's good. It's a it's a 522 00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:17,480 Speaker 3: it's kind of cleaning things up a little bit. Yeah, 523 00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:20,600 Speaker 3: I like it. John, that's the lawn's gone forrest period. 524 00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:23,440 Speaker 3: His rushes have goe down. Do you think people with 525 00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:25,080 Speaker 3: the addition of the Derrick Henry, do you think it 526 00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:28,560 Speaker 3: will still his? You know, the more you know the 527 00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:31,000 Speaker 3: design runs and evens and scramble will even go Dell 528 00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:34,440 Speaker 3: even brother. I don't know. Lamar is gonna play the 529 00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:36,520 Speaker 3: way Lamar plays, and that's what I'm for, you know. 530 00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:38,119 Speaker 3: I love the way he plays the game. I think 531 00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:45,240 Speaker 3: he's intuitively an intelligently uh just a phenomenal football player. 532 00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:45,440 Speaker 4: You know. 533 00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:47,840 Speaker 3: He sees the game in a very unique ways, very 534 00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:50,240 Speaker 3: smart ways. So I'm for him playing the way that 535 00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:52,560 Speaker 3: he plays, you know. And I think that just Derrick 536 00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:55,040 Speaker 3: Henry being there, plus Lamar plus the other guys, it's 537 00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:57,760 Speaker 3: a good formula. I'm in a big last year you're 538 00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:01,320 Speaker 3: undertaking for the costo with the wide receiver entering the draft. 539 00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:03,720 Speaker 3: If you have a kind of pet project entering quest 540 00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:06,639 Speaker 3: h yeah I do. But if I told you that, 541 00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:08,359 Speaker 3: I'd be kind of give them a rare draft plans 542 00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:10,760 Speaker 3: run way. Yeah, it's a very very clever way to 543 00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:14,600 Speaker 3: ask the questions. I'm smart, Yeah I have. I'm finished 544 00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:17,159 Speaker 3: with my first round of assignments. Now I'm going to 545 00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:19,240 Speaker 3: the second level after this. These media, I can take 546 00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:25,040 Speaker 3: this for what positions or especially uh No, I don't 547 00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:27,400 Speaker 3: have a very I'm gonna answer for you on that. Eric, 548 00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:30,280 Speaker 3: he does a good job answer knows. You'll probably see 549 00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:33,520 Speaker 3: him around. Why why aren't the gims here doing this? 550 00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:35,119 Speaker 6: Oh? 551 00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:36,359 Speaker 3: They are? Do they do the media? 552 00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:43,320 Speaker 6: So okay, I don't don't Soar and obviously texting a lot, 553 00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:47,720 Speaker 6: and he kind of has some ideas the season, what 554 00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:50,040 Speaker 6: seems to be his self assessment, what he's working on, 555 00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:50,879 Speaker 6: what he. 556 00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:56,440 Speaker 3: Thinks his next step should. Yeah, Lamar his feelings about 557 00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:59,800 Speaker 3: his next step. You know, he's got a lot of thoughts. 558 00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:03,000 Speaker 3: I'm he's, he's, he's, it's it's like any there's no 559 00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:05,879 Speaker 3: one football thing, you know. I think he's looking at 560 00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:07,960 Speaker 3: every aspect of his game. He starts with himself. That's 561 00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:10,200 Speaker 3: what I love about Lamar, what can I do better? 562 00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:12,280 Speaker 3: And that's why he continues to improve. And then he 563 00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:14,119 Speaker 3: goes to what we need, you know, what we need 564 00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:16,879 Speaker 3: schematically in his in his view, and he you know, 565 00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:19,040 Speaker 3: he trusts the coaches and he wants to like he 566 00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:23,720 Speaker 3: we talked that week and shared ideas schematically also personnel wise, 567 00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:26,119 Speaker 3: and then we're kind of working on that now and 568 00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:28,640 Speaker 3: he'll come back and he'll look at everything and we'll 569 00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:30,760 Speaker 3: want to know what he thinks, you know, like do 570 00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:32,879 Speaker 3: you prefer this or this? It's more comfortable in this 571 00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:34,840 Speaker 3: direction or that direction? You know what do you like 572 00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:37,280 Speaker 3: any other ideas you had since since we talked last? 573 00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:39,880 Speaker 3: And Lamarro will be part of the architect I believe 574 00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:42,359 Speaker 3: he'll be a big part of the architect on the offense, 575 00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:46,359 Speaker 3: having free agents design. 576 00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:47,880 Speaker 7: What do you see? 577 00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:48,720 Speaker 4: How he think? 578 00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:54,760 Speaker 6: Sevens? I guess how particle is he? 579 00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:56,000 Speaker 7: Who? 580 00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:57,440 Speaker 3: Who's at Lamar? 581 00:24:58,040 --> 00:24:59,760 Speaker 7: Just for you together? 582 00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:03,000 Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah, Lamar, Yeah, Lamar's that's I'd say that's one 583 00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:04,680 Speaker 3: of his greatest strengths as the locker room. You know, 584 00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:06,800 Speaker 3: he's just he's just you you or you know him. 585 00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:08,920 Speaker 3: I mean, he who what you see is what you 586 00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:11,359 Speaker 3: get and even like more fun because he's got his 587 00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:13,040 Speaker 3: guard up a little bit, I'm sure you know in 588 00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:15,560 Speaker 3: his public persona, but when he lets his guard down, 589 00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:18,000 Speaker 3: he's just kind of being who he is. Funny, funny dude, 590 00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:22,160 Speaker 3: a funny guy, lovable guy. He's just he likes people. 591 00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:25,320 Speaker 3: He's a he's a magnet. You know, in the locker room, 592 00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:27,920 Speaker 3: the guys love him. Has he provided a wish list 593 00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:32,440 Speaker 3: of guys and he's looking at guys now. Yeah. Yeah, 594 00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:34,680 Speaker 3: he and I agree on a few guys. We haven't 595 00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:40,600 Speaker 3: disagreed on anybody yet, so sharing our vision together, talking 596 00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:43,040 Speaker 3: about wide receivers or tight ends already come about anybody 597 00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:45,320 Speaker 3: like a position? Well, he's more interested in the wide 598 00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:47,680 Speaker 3: receivers and tight ends. Yeah, he isn't hasn't waited in 599 00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:52,440 Speaker 3: any offensive lineman just yet. Yeah, that's true when you 600 00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:55,719 Speaker 3: guys are treated mosts. I think there was some confusion 601 00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:57,520 Speaker 3: on the band and it seemed like he was on 602 00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:01,359 Speaker 3: relatively team bring the deal he had injury gets to 603 00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:04,320 Speaker 3: pick the Southeast and picks plays kind of explained the 604 00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:07,800 Speaker 3: decision to move on and it works to pick out here. Yeah, 605 00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:10,760 Speaker 3: that's that's a tough explanation because I think the fans 606 00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:12,480 Speaker 3: are right in the sense that, wow, you know, that's 607 00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:15,440 Speaker 3: just looking at that as a as a signal, a 608 00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:16,640 Speaker 3: single move. 609 00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:18,080 Speaker 7: You know it was. 610 00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:20,159 Speaker 3: He's a heck of a player. Everybody loves him. He 611 00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:24,120 Speaker 3: works hard, he's he's productive, played through injuries last year 612 00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:26,480 Speaker 3: and was on a team friendly contract. But in the 613 00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:27,960 Speaker 3: big picture, when you kind of step back and you 614 00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:30,520 Speaker 3: look at the whole cap structure, uh, it was. It 615 00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:33,000 Speaker 3: was tight, you know, and that was an opportunity I 616 00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:38,160 Speaker 3: think where you know, unfortunately, trade pick up the pick 617 00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:41,399 Speaker 3: up the cap space, create some cushion, a little bit, 618 00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:43,000 Speaker 3: a little bit of a buffer that we needed and 619 00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:44,560 Speaker 3: we have a you know, we have a young player 620 00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:47,119 Speaker 3: there that has a chance to to to kind of 621 00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:50,360 Speaker 3: step forward and play well. So that was a tough decision. 622 00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:54,359 Speaker 3: Dylan as now the second one, this tenured coach in 623 00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:57,560 Speaker 3: the league. You ever take time to think about like 624 00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:00,920 Speaker 3: your future all world in the dead one like you, 625 00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:03,840 Speaker 3: I hope to have one. Yeah, yeah, I'm I'm for 626 00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:07,800 Speaker 3: having a future, not not much more than the immediate future. 627 00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:09,520 Speaker 3: To be honest with you, you know, I think about 628 00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:11,239 Speaker 3: the past. Because someone showed me a clip of our 629 00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:14,879 Speaker 3: press conference and they asked me if it if it 630 00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:18,159 Speaker 3: felt like thirty years ago. I said no, but it 631 00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:20,399 Speaker 3: did look like thirty years ago. You know, Steve and 632 00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:22,280 Speaker 3: I both looked at you a lot younger than that 633 00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:25,560 Speaker 3: press conference. So you know, you look, you look, you 634 00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:27,360 Speaker 3: do you look in the mirror, whatever, and you say, wow, 635 00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:30,679 Speaker 3: this is really amazing. And the people that we've been around, 636 00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:36,159 Speaker 3: the great moments and the tough moments, but that's what 637 00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:37,879 Speaker 3: makes it so great. And I just I love what 638 00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:40,280 Speaker 3: I'm doing. I love these kind of the setting here. 639 00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:42,439 Speaker 3: I love I love you guys, you gals, I believe 640 00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:44,840 Speaker 3: it or not, you know, it's it's something that you 641 00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:47,239 Speaker 3: know someday, you know, we're all gonna look back on them. 642 00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:48,760 Speaker 3: We're gonna say, wow, that was pretty cool. We got 643 00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:50,720 Speaker 3: a chance to do that. So I just want to like, 644 00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:52,240 Speaker 3: look look at it right now and say, wow, this 645 00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:54,159 Speaker 3: is pretty cool that we get a chance to do 646 00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:57,320 Speaker 3: that and make the most of it. You foul just 647 00:27:57,400 --> 00:27:59,480 Speaker 3: to tackle at this point or at their chance that 648 00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:02,919 Speaker 3: he couldn't. I would say, let's focus a tackle right now, 649 00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:05,119 Speaker 3: you know, definitely, Jeff. Let's let's see if we get 650 00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:07,200 Speaker 3: that right tackle thing and give him a chance to win. 651 00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:11,280 Speaker 3: Your job on his life is a state of pullback. 652 00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:16,640 Speaker 3: He's not ob you hard or anything. Correct. Yes, yes, yes, 653 00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:23,440 Speaker 3: saying her heads have prevailed. That's why I look at it.

Anything you can 664 00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:52,479 Speaker 3: share with that, I mean, were there talks? Was there 665 00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:54,800 Speaker 3: a decision just not to do it? Like, yeah, no, 666 00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:57,440 Speaker 3: I I thought that was way like overblown, you know. 667 00:28:57,560 --> 00:28:59,920 Speaker 3: And and Jerry, Jerry. I talked to Jerry a lot. 668 00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:02,360 Speaker 3: You know, Jerry's one of them. He's my best friend, 669 00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:04,960 Speaker 3: you know. I think he's a he's a great coach 670 00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:08,040 Speaker 3: and uh and he's he's a wise person, you know, 671 00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:10,680 Speaker 3: so you seek you seek wisdom and advice where you 672 00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:13,600 Speaker 3: can so in some form or fashion. I think, you know, 673 00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:15,520 Speaker 3: if Jerry did it with Denver, he did that and 674 00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:17,360 Speaker 3: he became the head coach for a couple of couple 675 00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:19,840 Speaker 3: of games. So you know, I'm sure Jerry's interested.

He 702 00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:26,080 Speaker 3: love to be here. 703 00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:28,240 Speaker 4: What kind of do you think went into the fact that, 704 00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:30,680 Speaker 4: you know, he is one of probably play else. 705 00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:31,080 Speaker 7: With the show. 706 00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:32,880 Speaker 3: I just think it was more. I think it was 707 00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:35,040 Speaker 3: just more financial, you know, I think it has more 708 00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:36,720 Speaker 3: to do with it. I'm sure I didn't. I wasn't 709 00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:39,440 Speaker 3: involved any of that, but I'm sure that that he 710 00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:42,080 Speaker 3: and Eric talked and it just wasn't gonna work out, 711 00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:44,280 Speaker 3: you know, just from a number standpoint, probably as much 712 00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:46,200 Speaker 3: from we're at you know, we're in a tight set 713 00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:50,520 Speaker 3: cap type situation and kind of was a mutual understanding. 714 00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:53,560 Speaker 3: I think that way turns Brandy Brown, what is the 715 00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:55,640 Speaker 3: name of your what is the name for your organization? 716 00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:57,600 Speaker 3: That lets me especially teams guy? Now you look at 717 00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:02,920 Speaker 3: two top highest pay kickers. Now, so are you are you? 718 00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:08,840 Speaker 3: Are you related to Randy Jersey guy? Okay, yeah, Uh 719 00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:11,160 Speaker 3: In all serious is Randy Brown is a great coach. 720 00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:14,440 Speaker 3: You know, I think he's he's a pioneer. Uh you 721 00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:16,200 Speaker 3: know how he got into the league. What he's done 722 00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:18,240 Speaker 3: is he was the first one to do it. Really 723 00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:20,160 Speaker 3: and there's a couple other guys kind of back back 724 00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:23,160 Speaker 3: in those days with Randy and Randy's he's he's been 725 00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:24,560 Speaker 3: around for a long time, and now he knows the 726 00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:27,160 Speaker 3: special teams game inside out. He knows the rules really well. 727 00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:30,360 Speaker 3: He brings a unique personalities everybody around here, you know 728 00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:32,360 Speaker 3: when they laugh, you know, as you know, he's one 729 00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:34,760 Speaker 3: of the kind, and I think he does a great 730 00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:37,400 Speaker 3: job with those guys. He coaches a specialist really like 731 00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:40,000 Speaker 3: nobody else in the league. But even beyond that, you know, 732 00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:42,640 Speaker 3: he coaches the special teams too. So, Uh, he's been 733 00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:45,280 Speaker 3: a he's been a really strong Uh, he's been a 734 00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:47,200 Speaker 3: strong addition for us. He's been a strong part of 735 00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:50,160 Speaker 3: move accompassed over the years. You do two more gus, Johnny. 736 00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:58,680 Speaker 3: It happens to me a lot too, you know, Uh, 737 00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:02,440 Speaker 3: anybody else, John Sometimes we don't get a chance to 738 00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:03,320 Speaker 3: ask you about too much. 739 00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:06,080 Speaker 2: But Roderick Washington last year, did you make up his season? 740 00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:06,240 Speaker 4: Then? 741 00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:09,320 Speaker 2: It just didn't seem like maybe he stood out quite 742 00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:10,680 Speaker 2: as much as he did the year before. I mean, 743 00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:12,760 Speaker 2: you guys extended him last summer. Men, just where do 744 00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:13,640 Speaker 2: you think you know kind. 745 00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:15,440 Speaker 3: Of where he is right now? Yeah, Brody, I saw 746 00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:17,080 Speaker 3: Broddy in the building just last week. He's in there 747 00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:18,840 Speaker 3: lifting weights and working hard. You know, that's the thing, 748 00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:22,640 Speaker 3: and I thought he had a good season last year 749 00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:25,320 Speaker 3: and he's gonna be who he is. You know, he's 750 00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:27,800 Speaker 3: gonna be a very good player for us. He's gonna 751 00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:29,720 Speaker 3: be a guy that's gonna it's gonna he's gonna stop 752 00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:31,520 Speaker 3: the run. He's gonna be where he's supposed to be. 753 00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:32,880 Speaker 3: He's gonna be running to the ball. He's gonna be 754 00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:35,080 Speaker 3: brushing the quarterback from the inside, pushing the pocket. 755 00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:35,840 Speaker 4: Uh. 756 00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:39,120 Speaker 3: He gives us valuable reps and he's he's a great teammate. 757 00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:42,040 Speaker 3: So he gotta have those kind of guys. I those 758 00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:45,040 Speaker 3: Nutt and Bolt guys like Broader Washington or guys that 759 00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:47,440 Speaker 3: kind of you get you. That's part of your structure. 760 00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:47,680 Speaker 6: Man. 761 00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:49,680 Speaker 3: If you don't have guys like that, your structure doesn't 762 00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:52,760 Speaker 3: hold together. So that's why, well that's why we love him. 763 00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:55,520 Speaker 3: So when he brings to the table is just exactly 764 00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:57,000 Speaker 3: what we need him to bring to the table. So 765 00:32:57,080 --> 00:32:59,040 Speaker 3: I expect him to have a great year and kind 766 00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:02,080 Speaker 3: of do what he does. Bits I think we mentioned 767 00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:05,360 Speaker 3: of the combine without your admiration to the Dolphins and 768 00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:07,520 Speaker 3: to do with the RPO just getting the call up 769 00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:10,520 Speaker 3: quickly or maybe maybe not our do what the Dolphins do? Oh, 770 00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:13,400 Speaker 3: the Dolphins get the ball out quickly. I guess you 771 00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:16,800 Speaker 3: guys are using more propios this year. The markt developed bicker. 772 00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:19,000 Speaker 3: You want to see that kind of continue and they 773 00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:22,920 Speaker 3: get How would you kind of evaluate the increcia where 774 00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:24,880 Speaker 3: you guys would up? Yeah, I mean, I think we're 775 00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:26,640 Speaker 3: in the right place with our RPOs. I don't think 776 00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:28,960 Speaker 3: it's something that we're gonna like go wholesale towards because 777 00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:31,640 Speaker 3: Lamar's got so many different ways he plays the game 778 00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:33,440 Speaker 3: and there's other things we like to do, to be 779 00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:35,560 Speaker 3: honest with you, so RPOs are a part of it. 780 00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:38,400 Speaker 3: I don't see it's going towards like anybody's specific offense 781 00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:41,320 Speaker 3: that runs those more than anybody else, or like anybody else, 782 00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:44,320 Speaker 3: because our quarterback is different, you know, than anybody else's, 783 00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:46,600 Speaker 3: So none of these quarterbacks are exactly the same. And 784 00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:48,120 Speaker 3: to me, you've got to build the offense around your 785 00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:51,240 Speaker 3: specific guy. So RPOs will be a part of what 786 00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:53,600 Speaker 3: we're doing, for sure, They're not gonna be the main 787 00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:55,560 Speaker 3: part of what we're doing. It really hasn't been that way. 788 00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:58,080 Speaker 3: It's not like the number one thing we do some teams. 789 00:33:58,120 --> 00:33:58,400 Speaker 4: It is. 790 00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:04,000 Speaker 1: If you want a full breakdown of everything that we 791 00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:06,840 Speaker 1: heard from Coach Harball and the big takeaways from that 792 00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:09,160 Speaker 1: time with the media, head over to the Lounge the 793 00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:12,759 Speaker 1: podcast feed.
