Um.

I don't 11 00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:46,599 Speaker 1: know if I've ever seen your play center at practice, 12 00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:49,040 Speaker 1: if you have a little fun getting your hands on 13 00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:54,600 Speaker 1: the ball and stuff. Uh yeah, sure back to the 14 00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:59,320 Speaker 1: lean days right, Yeah, we didn't have a shotgun, none 15 00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:06,000 Speaker 1: that waiting around the shotgun. Okay, feel tarns Mitchell. I 16 00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:08,120 Speaker 1: wanted to ask you what how would you describe his 17 00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:10,200 Speaker 1: style of play from what you've been able to see 18 00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:13,520 Speaker 1: to this point. Yeah, Terence is a smart kid. He's 19 00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:17,160 Speaker 1: got a lot of experience, worked hard, and it's done 20 00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:20,040 Speaker 1: a good job trying to fit into things. So see 21 00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:24,600 Speaker 1: it goes l We've seen a few guys out here, 22 00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:27,760 Speaker 1: um playing maybe different positions that we've seen that. Is 23 00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:30,280 Speaker 1: that an indication that they're switching positions or is this 24 00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:32,200 Speaker 1: the time of the year where you can cross train 25 00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:35,360 Speaker 1: guys and build out their versatility? And the same thing 26 00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:37,560 Speaker 1: we've talked about every year for the last twenty some years, 27 00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:42,720 Speaker 1: went in Trent and Proud. Is this the case of 28 00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:45,399 Speaker 1: you looking at them at the different tackle spots. It's 29 00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:47,520 Speaker 1: the same thing we've talked about for the last twenty 30 00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:52,720 Speaker 1: some years. Isaiah has a primarily been a left tack. 31 00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:55,120 Speaker 1: I think it was maybe a twenty five snap game 32 00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:57,640 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty a left guard, But pretty much since 33 00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:02,880 Speaker 1: he's walked in the door, he's been a left tack right. 34 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:07,600 Speaker 1: So what made you want to see him there at right? 35 00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:13,959 Speaker 1: We build our depth in the in training captain on 36 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:18,120 Speaker 1: the spring, and I'm gonna see what we need in 37 00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:24,160 Speaker 1: the vault. I don't know what are the some of 38 00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:26,400 Speaker 1: the differences. I know we've asked you this so forgive, 39 00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:30,480 Speaker 1: but the differences between playing on the left side, particularly 40 00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:33,799 Speaker 1: a tackle, and right, what sort of fundamental differences are there? 41 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:45,080 Speaker 1: Foot works different, same place, they see different calibers of opponents, 42 00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,399 Speaker 1: Like it used to be that left side you'd see 43 00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:49,840 Speaker 1: a higher caliber pass rusher. But is it the same 44 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:55,960 Speaker 1: anymore where the probably depend on the team. Some teams 45 00:02:55,960 --> 00:03:00,600 Speaker 1: switching around, some teams don't. It's pretty good players in 46 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:04,040 Speaker 1: this league at every position. It was the report that 47 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:06,640 Speaker 1: Bill Bryan and Jed Fish spent some time around the 48 00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:09,280 Speaker 1: team in this spring, and he said yesterday he's we're 49 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:11,840 Speaker 1: getting streamlined a little bit on offense with Hey helping 50 00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:18,440 Speaker 1: out with that process, just hearing advisory rules. Yeah, both 51 00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:20,839 Speaker 1: of them, we're here. They visited and it was great 52 00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:27,920 Speaker 1: to see him. When Jack Jones at cornerback, UM, sort 53 00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:30,040 Speaker 1: of how would you describe just sort of his style 54 00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:31,960 Speaker 1: of play and from what you've been able to see 55 00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:36,560 Speaker 1: obviously not pads or anything like that. Yeah, well Jack 56 00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:39,920 Speaker 1: played uh, you know at usc UH in a you know, 57 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:43,200 Speaker 1: kind of a pro system there with Clancy, and played 58 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:48,320 Speaker 1: in a pro system at um Arizona State with Herman 59 00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:55,040 Speaker 1: and Marvin, So he's had a lot of pro coaching. UM. 60 00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:59,360 Speaker 1: So again similar to Terrence, you know, obviously new learning 61 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 1: ring at this system and our adjustments and techniques and 62 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:08,760 Speaker 1: so forth. And see it goes one other. On the rookies, 63 00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:12,240 Speaker 1: we haven't haven't seen the last two picks there Hines 64 00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 1: and stubert Um anything holding them back that for that, 65 00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:20,680 Speaker 1: they won't be available to you, going, yeah, they're not 66 00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:27,039 Speaker 1: ready to be out there. Okay, Bill, Just for clarification, effort, 67 00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,880 Speaker 1: pro system offensively in the college NKS. What's that? What's 68 00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:31,680 Speaker 1: it mean defensively if a guy comes from a pro 69 00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:35,520 Speaker 1: system aside from having a pro coach, Is that that's 70 00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:39,920 Speaker 1: always because it seem related or anything when you say that, No, 71 00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:41,440 Speaker 1: but I'll think of what you see in a National 72 00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:45,880 Speaker 1: Football League is regardless of what the system is, it's 73 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:50,159 Speaker 1: an NFL system and all the things that come with 74 00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:57,000 Speaker 1: that preparation, coverages, adjustments depending on what the foundation of 75 00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:00,560 Speaker 1: it is. But there's still a you know, t element 76 00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:07,400 Speaker 1: that's used in the NFL. You have seen some new 77 00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:10,840 Speaker 1: faces in the punt return mix. What are the most 78 00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:13,560 Speaker 1: important qualities you look for from someone at that position 79 00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:19,960 Speaker 1: depends on the person's level of experience. Players that are experienced, 80 00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:23,920 Speaker 1: you can evaluate them. Players that aren't experienced, you look 81 00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:30,520 Speaker 1: at their development and see how that's tracking. So we 82 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:33,719 Speaker 1: quick say quite a few guys back there, they're in 83 00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:40,479 Speaker 1: different stages of those categories and and evaluate them on 84 00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:42,880 Speaker 1: a case by case basis got a couple of punters, 85 00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:45,320 Speaker 1: so got a lot of balls there we're punting them. 86 00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:50,880 Speaker 1: Must love some guys catching them. How much probability have 87 00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:52,640 Speaker 1: you seen from train Nixon year one to year two? 88 00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:54,040 Speaker 1: Obviously we didn't get a chance to see him a 89 00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:58,279 Speaker 1: ton last year, But what if you see all the guys, 90 00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:02,360 Speaker 1: all the guys from your one of year who we're 91 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:05,080 Speaker 1: way ahead of where they were last year on a 92 00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:10,440 Speaker 1: lot of levels. Preparation, training, knowledge of our scheme, knowledge 93 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:17,159 Speaker 1: of what's going on across from him. So he certainly 94 00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:19,480 Speaker 1: had fall into that category. But I'd really put them 95 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:24,680 Speaker 1: all there with the rain expected today, Is this an 96 00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:27,200 Speaker 1: early evaluation tool in terms of the elements that these 97 00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:29,640 Speaker 1: guys might play in the regular season and more ball 98 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:33,280 Speaker 1: control of things like that today? Yeah, whatever we get 99 00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:37,960 Speaker 1: out there, we go. Now that you have a few practices, 100 00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,840 Speaker 1: I guess back with Joe and Matt, how is that 101 00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:45,440 Speaker 1: group of offensive approaches, how are they coming together as 102 00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:51,000 Speaker 1: a leadership group? Good? Good? I mean Matt and Joe 103 00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:55,640 Speaker 1: a tremendous amount of leadership, ye know, as Juel the 104 00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:59,000 Speaker 1: other coaches on the offensive side of the wall too, Ross, Troy, 105 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:03,440 Speaker 1: Nick Billy, you know Vinny I mean they all bring 106 00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:08,560 Speaker 1: a good level of experience, playing experience, coaching experience, experience 107 00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:18,760 Speaker 1: in our system. So yeah, a good group. Guess you 108 00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:22,560 Speaker 1: mentioned romeo'crannell's impact, what he meant, and so many young 109 00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:26,080 Speaker 1: coaches and hundreds of players who played for him. I'm 110 00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:29,960 Speaker 1: curious about specifically, if there's something that stands out, what 111 00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:33,160 Speaker 1: did he mean the impact that he had particularly beyond 112 00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:37,480 Speaker 1: just defense, which is I guess best known for as 113 00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:41,520 Speaker 1: a coach, but he was in special teams. What kind 114 00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:43,960 Speaker 1: of an impact did he have just seeing the game 115 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:47,840 Speaker 1: as a whole, in the perspective on the game itself 116 00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:53,320 Speaker 1: in general. Yeah, well, I think probably he'd have to 117 00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:57,600 Speaker 1: talk to, you know, coaches that coached under him in 118 00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:01,200 Speaker 1: that capacity. You know, I wouldn't really put myself in 119 00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:06,200 Speaker 1: that category. We were contemporaries and and um I was 120 00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:08,520 Speaker 1: actually in the league a little ahead of him, and 121 00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:13,800 Speaker 1: you know, we worked closely together. But as I observed 122 00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:16,320 Speaker 1: him working with other players and coaches through the years, 123 00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:19,680 Speaker 1: I mean, those are my observations, but I couldn't. I 124 00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:21,800 Speaker 1: wasn't really in that, you know, for me, it was 125 00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:24,800 Speaker 1: you know, some of the people that I've mentioned that 126 00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:28,800 Speaker 1: were you know in that in a higher position when 127 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,680 Speaker 1: I came into the league. Um, again, Romeo and I 128 00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:36,079 Speaker 1: were more more contemporary there, and I'd say our relationship 129 00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:42,480 Speaker 1: was working more together like it was with Al, you know, Dante, 130 00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:46,960 Speaker 1: you know, coaches like that. So the people that learned, 131 00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:52,400 Speaker 1: you know, a lot from him. Um, let's say I 132 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:54,120 Speaker 1: didn't learn a lot from him. I don't mean it 133 00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:56,040 Speaker 1: that way, but I'm saying, you know, the people that 134 00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:59,240 Speaker 1: worked under him that he trained in the kicking game, Um, 135 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:03,080 Speaker 1: you know, like Mike Sweatman at the Giants and you know, 136 00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:04,640 Speaker 1: people like that. I think you really have to talk 137 00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:08,680 Speaker 1: to them about that. But in terms of working with him, 138 00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:12,319 Speaker 1: I mean, he was fantastic to work with as a 139 00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:14,760 Speaker 1: as an assistant coach, and then when I was the 140 00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:19,960 Speaker 1: head coach. You know, he was always extremely well prepared, 141 00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:23,880 Speaker 1: made great in game adjustments. It was an excellent teacher, 142 00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:30,559 Speaker 1: great communicator, good motivator, an excellent relationship with players, coaches. 143 00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:35,200 Speaker 1: You know. It was really a tremendous asset to every 144 00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:41,120 Speaker 1: team that I was ever with him on. But for 145 00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:45,680 Speaker 1: a young coach that was learning from him under him, 146 00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:50,360 Speaker 1: I was kind of never in that situation. Along with 147 00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:53,040 Speaker 1: snapping the other day. So you're really hands on in 148 00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:55,400 Speaker 1: these practice and how much do you enjoy the element 149 00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:57,680 Speaker 1: of being you know, hands on you just sort of 150 00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:02,040 Speaker 1: getting up in. Yeah, I'll enjoy coaching. So there's a 151 00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:06,280 Speaker 1: lot of different elements of that classroom, on the field, film, 152 00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:09,080 Speaker 1: game day, like whatever it is, Like, I enjoy that 153 00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:12,280 Speaker 1: and try to contribute it and help the team, you know, 154 00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:14,640 Speaker 1: where I can still show these young guys who still 155 00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:18,600 Speaker 1: got it into Yeah, I'd like to be matched up 156 00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:28,680 Speaker 1: against a couple of them, but anybody in particular, Yeah, yeah, 157 00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:36,480 Speaker 1: there's a couple. Um'll just on Romeo, put your finger 158 00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:39,959 Speaker 1: run or explain to us. Um, maybe for people who 159 00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:43,040 Speaker 1: don't know what hit, the biggest impact he made on 160 00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:48,360 Speaker 1: this franchise was in your mind. I mean, it's a 161 00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:51,160 Speaker 1: defensive coordinator for three Super Bowl winning teams. I mean, 162 00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:55,600 Speaker 1: what do you want to do. I'm talking about anything, 163 00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:58,400 Speaker 1: you know specifically, whether it's how we related to players 164 00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:02,360 Speaker 1: or that's a big job. I mean it's yeah, you know, 165 00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:07,679 Speaker 1: in a job like that, you make fifty decisions every 166 00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:09,760 Speaker 1: day that affect the team probably more than that. Tell 167 00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:15,080 Speaker 1: you the truth, Um, every day, it's not one game. 168 00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:21,160 Speaker 1: It's not one play. It's it's a consistent high level 169 00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:27,280 Speaker 1: performance over a sustained period of years months, years. Um, 170 00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:37,160 Speaker 1: that's what that is so pretty pretty impressive. No, is 171 00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:40,040 Speaker 1: that Jacobe Meyers have been limited by injury for part 172 00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:43,840 Speaker 1: of the bring. We have various players out there that 173 00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:49,720 Speaker 1: are in different stages of UM, some physical situation, whatever 174 00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:52,960 Speaker 1: it is. Some of that changes day to day. Some 175 00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:57,679 Speaker 1: of that's progressive. UM. So whatever it is, it is, 176 00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:03,839 Speaker 1: you know, we work with the trainers and um you know, 177 00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:09,320 Speaker 1: UM Johan and his staff, Jim Whalen and his staff 178 00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:13,640 Speaker 1: relative to the availability of those players, and that the 179 00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:16,920 Speaker 1: clue well it includes I don't know, probably half the team. 180 00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:19,960 Speaker 1: I don't know, there's a lot of players. So whatever 181 00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:23,840 Speaker 1: it is for that player, then that's what it is. 182 00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:26,200 Speaker 1: And it changes from day to day and change depends 183 00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:31,440 Speaker 1: on what activity we're doing and with level participation, the 184 00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:35,000 Speaker 1: player hasn't go through it every day. And it's a 185 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:38,840 Speaker 1: pretty pretty lengthy list of players that, um, you know, 186 00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:41,600 Speaker 1: we talk about. So I want to make sure that 187 00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:44,400 Speaker 1: we're doing the best we can for them and that 188 00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:46,920 Speaker 1: they can participate in what we feel like they should 189 00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,959 Speaker 1: or can't participate in, and things that we want to 190 00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:55,240 Speaker 1: be a little cautious or conservative on than than we are, 191 00:12:55,280 --> 00:13:00,720 Speaker 1: and maybe they do something else. A question books bigger 192 00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:04,959 Speaker 1: is he in my eyes telling me the truth on that? 193 00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:06,320 Speaker 1: If you get a little bit bigger and a little 194 00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:14,400 Speaker 1: bit stronger, And was that at the direction of the team? Um? 195 00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:18,439 Speaker 1: I have to look at the exact measurements. You know. Again, 196 00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:23,760 Speaker 1: I think anybody that you know trains hard and trains um. 197 00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:25,680 Speaker 1: You know, with the intensity that we do through the 198 00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:30,840 Speaker 1: length of our all season programs, gonna make some games. Um. 199 00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:32,800 Speaker 1: You know at some point they're probably gonna peek out. 200 00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:35,960 Speaker 1: But you know, he's still a young player, so I think. 201 00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:41,480 Speaker 1: But you know, let's say that marginal and you have 202 00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:44,560 Speaker 1: to ask him that question. I'm not really sure. Okay, 203 00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:45,360 Speaker 1: all right, thank you,
