1
00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:04,280
Speaker 1: Thanks Stacy. I'm morning Bill. I'm wondering after watching the

2
00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:08,760
Speaker 1: film last night, what you saw that allows you, guys, um,

3
00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:12,160
Speaker 1: you know, from pretty much front to end to be

4
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:17,760
Speaker 1: still effective getting up the field and getting to the quarterback. Uh.

5
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:22,760
Speaker 1: You know, well, we had our moments, UM, we had

6
00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:28,320
Speaker 1: we had some pressure from different players and UM, and

7
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:34,000
Speaker 1: so there were some good things there. We obviously allowed

8
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:37,800
Speaker 1: a lot of UM, a lot of passing already, and

9
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:43,239
Speaker 1: so there were times when the rush and and the

10
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 1: coverage didn't really marry up the way would like it too. UM.

11
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 1: Pass rushes, our pass rush and our coverage. So the

12
00:00:55,320 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 1: overall our team defense was good at time, but we

13
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:04,120
Speaker 1: need to be that more consistency. When you give up

14
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:09,480
Speaker 1: overstrand a fifty yards path and UM, that's not good.

15
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 1: Knocking the quarterback down that's good, but we need to

16
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 1: we need to marry those two together, because when we

17
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:21,959
Speaker 1: we didn't have to coverage the rush and we gave

18
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 1: up too much charge. Yeah, just to follow up, Bill,

19
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 1: is that UM, a little more complex to evaluate when

20
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 1: you're obviously playing with a lot of different personnel units

21
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:36,200
Speaker 1: in the preseason versus what you might be doing defensively

22
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:41,959
Speaker 1: in the regular season. Well, yeah, obviously the radio seasons

23
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 1: worth of a true indication of what it is. But

24
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:47,119
Speaker 1: you know, all thirty two teams are in the same

25
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 1: Spain situation here in pre season. I would say they're

26
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:56,279
Speaker 1: all basically playing it pretty much the same way. Um So,

27
00:01:56,400 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 1: um we have the same off gonna do is everybody

28
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 1: else us and and we'll have to figure it out

29
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:09,919
Speaker 1: just like all the other teams do. Thanks. Still, yeah, yeah,

30
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 1: you're welcome. And next special Diggan O'Brien called by Jim

31
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 1: mcbrian money. Don't you see we saw that element rule

32
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,800
Speaker 1: come into effect um four times And I was just wondering,

33
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 1: after you watch the tape, what did you see in

34
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:28,080
Speaker 1: the Jordan Richards tackle? It, to my vnice point, looked

35
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:30,079
Speaker 1: like a textbook tackle. That winning what you stopped for

36
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:40,080
Speaker 1: watching the tape? Um? Yeah, I think there. You know,

37
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 1: there's there's those plays and then there's some other plays.

38
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 1: Um maybe that we're similar, plays that weren't called weren't called. Um.

39
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 1: So yeah, we're just gonna have to try to do

40
00:02:55,240 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 1: a good job of getting um, you know, Claire understanding,

41
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 1: and these are plays that help to find it, um

42
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:08,080
Speaker 1: of what is and what isn't allowed. So again doesn't

43
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 1: really matter what we think. What matters is what the

44
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:14,080
Speaker 1: officials think and what they see and what they're going

45
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 1: to call. So, um, we'll have to adjust to what

46
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:22,520
Speaker 1: they're the way the game's being called, not the other

47
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:28,639
Speaker 1: way around. So we'll again examine those plays and ask

48
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 1: about some other ones that are similar and try to

49
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 1: do as good to jobs of teaching that rule as

50
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 1: we can, and I'm sure the players will will do

51
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 1: as good a job of playing it as they can.

52
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 1: No player wants to get a fifteen yard family, um,

53
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 1: so they might have to. We might have to adjust

54
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:54,119
Speaker 1: our style or technique a little bit as we go here.

55
00:03:56,520 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 1: Thank you, you're welcome. My next Christian Jim High coach.

56
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:07,119
Speaker 1: I wanted to ask you about Beyante Davis and maybe

57
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 1: what you've seen from him that has allowed him to

58
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 1: develop a little versatility along the line. I know we

59
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 1: had a year off black year, and maybe if that

60
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 1: kind of went into it. Kianta worked really hard last

61
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:23,279
Speaker 1: year even though he wasn't able to practice. He was

62
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 1: on an a FI all season, but um, he essentially

63
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 1: went through two off season programs, one during the season

64
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:34,360
Speaker 1: and then one in the off season because that's UM

65
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:40,599
Speaker 1: because it was restricted to to what his participation level

66
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 1: could be and that that changed the spring and UM

67
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 1: and then into training camp and so forth. So UM

68
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:50,840
Speaker 1: he's continued to do all the things that he could do.

69
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:55,040
Speaker 1: He was just limited until UM really until we got

70
00:04:55,080 --> 00:05:00,839
Speaker 1: into this calendar year, and he's been able to work

71
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 1: on those things. Still has a long way to go,

72
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:06,679
Speaker 1: still has a lot of things that he can improve

73
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 1: on and refine and react quicker too and so forth.

74
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:15,279
Speaker 1: But that comes from not having actively played for play

75
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:18,839
Speaker 1: football for a year or a little more than a year.

76
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:26,160
Speaker 1: So hopefully that'll it has return and hopefully those things

77
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 1: will will come back to him and there's reactions that

78
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 1: all will continue to improve. But he's he's done a

79
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:34,919
Speaker 1: good job. He's in good condition, he's worked hard, and

80
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:43,280
Speaker 1: like what he's been doing. Thank you, Hey, you're welcome, Jim.

81
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 1: All right, next question, Rich Garbin. You know I'll encourage

82
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 1: anyone to hit the five star if you want to

83
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 1: ask another question, well, Bill wondering if there's a competition

84
00:05:56,520 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 1: for the Punters transition. Right now, all the players they

85
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 1: are on the roster are in competition, so when they're

86
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 1: not in competitions when they're off the rosters on the rosters.

87
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 1: So I just I ask it because it seems like,

88
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 1: I mean, Corey hasn't played in the first two games

89
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 1: and in majority of the opportunities in camp during practice

90
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:31,719
Speaker 1: that they've learned to Ryan, So how does a guy

91
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 1: like Corey compete that he's not actually kicking? Yeah, well,

92
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:46,040
Speaker 1: the opportunities to play have to be earned, and when

93
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:51,040
Speaker 1: we feel that that's that's been done then and he's

94
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:54,160
Speaker 1: able to do it, then or anybody else for that matter.

95
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:57,840
Speaker 1: You know, when a player earns the opportunity is and

96
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:04,920
Speaker 1: is able to participle faith for the opportunities, then then

97
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 1: we'll try to give it to him. I'm curious. This

98
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 1: is a quick follow up. When Ryan was first here

99
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 1: with can result in Mesco, I ask you the same

100
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 1: question and he said, yeah, there's definitely a competition going on.

101
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 1: So could you take it back to that time and

102
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 1: what Ryan did turn those those opportunities to make that

103
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 1: a competition result on? Like, what did he did back

104
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 1: then that showed you that that was a competition. Yeah, well, again,

105
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 1: that was several years ago, and every camp has its

106
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 1: own unique combination of players. Circumstances, opportunities and competition for

107
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:55,240
Speaker 1: roster stock. So there are a lot of things that

108
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 1: go involved that that go into those that type of question.

109
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 1: I'm honestly to be here for a couple of hours

110
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 1: talking about that. Right now, we're just focused on what's

111
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 1: going on on the field this training camp and this

112
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 1: week coming up, and we know what the headlines are

113
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 1: for making some decisions, so um, well, we'll work towards

114
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 1: those those points there. There are a lot of things

115
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 1: that we have to do in training camp and we

116
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:35,079
Speaker 1: try to take all of the many considerations. So that's

117
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:37,439
Speaker 1: that's what we've always done. That's what we're going to

118
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 1: continue to do. Football team will always come first. Great, Thanks,

119
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:49,560
Speaker 1: you're welcome. Our next question would be Doug Kide, followed

120
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 1: by Tom Curry, Hey Bell. Just a quick fall upon

121
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:57,680
Speaker 1: Kante Davis is if you player who likely would have

122
00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:00,120
Speaker 1: been drafted if not for the injury that he was

123
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:09,200
Speaker 1: dealing with at the time. Yeah, relatively relatively high. Do

124
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:20,079
Speaker 1: you feel uh No, No, it's hard to say. Um. Possibly,

125
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:27,960
Speaker 1: you know, I'd say he's um uh in a different category,

126
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 1: but in a similar situation and a similar in a

127
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 1: similar uh his circumstances or similar to Marcus Cannon but

128
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 1: different in ways, but I would say very similar in

129
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 1: some other ways. Marks of stressed in the fifth round.

130
00:09:52,760 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 1: Janatha wasn't drafted, UM, but there's some similarities. Thank you.

131
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:15,320
Speaker 1: Next question Tom Kern followed by hindering the can hey bill. UM.

132
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 1: I was wondering with Quadarrel Patterson when you've gone against

133
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 1: him in the past in the regular offense, what difficulties

134
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 1: did he pose to you as a receiver beyond just

135
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:31,440
Speaker 1: his explosive speed, um, And what are some of the

136
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:36,720
Speaker 1: things that entered into concerns for you as as a

137
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:39,319
Speaker 1: you know, defensive coach or for your defensive coaching staff.

138
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 1: Is a very talented player. Um. We knew that well

139
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:50,840
Speaker 1: when it was in college when he came out of Tennessee.

140
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:59,960
Speaker 1: His drafted in the first round, UM, And what defense

141
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:05,440
Speaker 1: as um and the times that week played him? You know,

142
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:08,199
Speaker 1: that's that's usually comes in to be part of the scheme.

143
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:15,439
Speaker 1: So how the Raiders or Minnesota used them, and who

144
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 1: else he was in there with and where they aligned

145
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 1: them and so forth, or by more of the focus

146
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 1: Um obviously kickoff kickoff returns and other things he did

147
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 1: in special teams Terry were very noteworthy as well. But

148
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:37,880
Speaker 1: you know, we're aware of his physical skills and we

149
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:40,440
Speaker 1: talked about those, but the way he was used was

150
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 1: specific to those teams, and they're offensive and special team systems.

151
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 1: So yeah, it's kind of an ambiguous question, and most

152
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:59,560
Speaker 1: specific one, I guess, is not actually specific one in general.

153
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:03,280
Speaker 1: Are there occasions that you've had through your time in

154
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 1: the league where you look at players and say, you

155
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 1: know what, he's he's not help hostage, you're a victim,

156
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:13,040
Speaker 1: but he's he's a product of where he is right now.

157
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 1: There might be more there, not that both teams are

158
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 1: doing something wrong, but their circumstances might impact it. But

159
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:21,960
Speaker 1: there might be more there for a player that his

160
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:29,240
Speaker 1: atmosphere or his scheme doesn't allow him to get to. Yeah,

161
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:33,120
Speaker 1: say it happens all the time. Happens every year for

162
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 1: whatever reason. Players are in different systems and you look

163
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:41,280
Speaker 1: at it and you feel like in your system it

164
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 1: might be a little better fit than where he was

165
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 1: somewhere else. That's not a criticism of anywhere else or

166
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 1: anything else. I'm sure the teams look at some of

167
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 1: our players the same way. So, and it's the same

168
00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 1: thing in the draft. So yeah, I think it's very

169
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 1: common to see a player in another scheme or another

170
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:08,959
Speaker 1: system and you picture them in your system and you

171
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:11,000
Speaker 1: you maybe see a little more productive player than what

172
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:15,040
Speaker 1: you see somewhere else. I think that's that's fairly common.

173
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:17,960
Speaker 1: I would think with every every team I've ever been on,

174
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:23,360
Speaker 1: or every team I've ever coached, and putting as an

175
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 1: assistant coach, so can I'd imagine there's times when you

176
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 1: bring a player in and you were exactly right, and

177
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:32,559
Speaker 1: there's times when you bring him in you go, oh,

178
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:42,680
Speaker 1: I see why he wasn't doing that much. Well, that's

179
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:48,640
Speaker 1: that area is a very inexact science fire and players

180
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:51,280
Speaker 1: and so forth, until you actually get them in the system.

181
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:55,679
Speaker 1: It's it's a little bit of projection and there's there

182
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:59,719
Speaker 1: are hits and there missus. I think that's true with

183
00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:02,439
Speaker 1: every team up. I haven't seen the team yet, that's

184
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:07,600
Speaker 1: that's it on all of them. Thanks. Our next question

185
00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:12,320
Speaker 1: is hearing mckinna, followed by I believe it's David Lazier. Hey, Bill,

186
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:18,480
Speaker 1: I was wondering um in terms of Corduall Patterson, Uh,

187
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 1: you know he hasn't played any special team snaps in

188
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 1: these first two preseason games. So I wondered what what

189
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 1: went into the decision to um just you know, try

190
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 1: him on offense and maybe leave him out on tick

191
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 1: returns and and other things he might do in that regard. Right, again,

192
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 1: all the things we do on and preseason games are

193
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:50,320
Speaker 1: based on a combination of factors, and we put it

194
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 1: all together and do what we do we feel as best.

195
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 1: So that's an individual player, the unit that he's in,

196
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:05,360
Speaker 1: um of what he's done on the practice field, who

197
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 1: the other people are that are involved, and what's best

198
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:12,960
Speaker 1: for the team. So when you combine all those things,

199
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 1: then that's what leads to most of the decisions in

200
00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:27,240
Speaker 1: preseason games and so forth. Not all games go the

201
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 1: same way. Sometimes you play more of a particular type

202
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 1: of play, or maybe more offense or more defense in

203
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:42,120
Speaker 1: the game based on that individual game. And so then

204
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:45,400
Speaker 1: those things don't always work out evenly or the way

205
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:50,520
Speaker 1: you plan them, or situations don't come up like you

206
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:52,480
Speaker 1: would think they might normally, would they come up a

207
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:57,040
Speaker 1: little bit differently? So than that'xcus what the opportunities are

208
00:15:57,120 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 1: for an individual player, foot player as a unit and

209
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:07,240
Speaker 1: so forth, I have to do the best you can

210
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:10,640
Speaker 1: to try to, as I said, in the end, do

211
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 1: what's best for the football team and try to balance

212
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:18,160
Speaker 1: all the other things out. That's the way it always is.

213
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 1: It's never gonna change. That's that's what preseason football is

214
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:27,640
Speaker 1: in the National Football League. UM, I've never treated any

215
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:30,400
Speaker 1: different in any of my years as a head coach.

216
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:33,280
Speaker 1: I don't see how you really can do anything other

217
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:39,040
Speaker 1: than that. Okay, two final questions. I believe it's Stephen

218
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:44,520
Speaker 1: Laser and uh and the last time we've Magan O'Brien, Hey, coach,

219
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 1: I was just wondering if, based on your evaluations of

220
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:52,160
Speaker 1: Jawan Bentley and before the draft in on draft day,

221
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:54,960
Speaker 1: are you guys at all surprised about how athletic and

222
00:16:54,960 --> 00:17:05,920
Speaker 1: how well he's played in coverage? Oh well, uh, No,

223
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:09,960
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say so. He's the four year starter at

224
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:18,080
Speaker 1: at a Big ten school that played. I mean, there's

225
00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:24,000
Speaker 1: a lot of good players in that conference, So he

226
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:29,719
Speaker 1: watched the guys played for four years. No, I wouldn't

227
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:37,119
Speaker 1: say it's a big surprise. Thanks good ask question, Migan O'Brien, Hi,

228
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:39,040
Speaker 1: bell I was I have to gonna ask about Bentley

229
00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 1: as well. Um, I was just curious about his range.

230
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:43,640
Speaker 1: I know early on the game we to him stick

231
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 1: with Smallwood nearly stride for stride um, which is wondering

232
00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:49,840
Speaker 1: what you've seen from the range that that he provides,

233
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:54,359
Speaker 1: and he's exhibited. Yeah, well, Chuance, he's done a good

234
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:58,679
Speaker 1: job for us in all areas. Um. His good size,

235
00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:02,800
Speaker 1: he plays with good power, make a couple of tackles

236
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:04,800
Speaker 1: the last two weeks on the goal line or in

237
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:09,280
Speaker 1: close quarters, and play with good good power against blockers

238
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:13,120
Speaker 1: and runners and George Arisian goal line situations. He's been

239
00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 1: in space. He's a very instinctive player. He finds the

240
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:24,440
Speaker 1: ball and has good awareness of the ball, the receiver,

241
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:30,600
Speaker 1: the route, the guys running, so forth. And he learns

242
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:34,840
Speaker 1: every day. He'll learn every week. And there's still a

243
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:38,000
Speaker 1: lot of things that um that he needs to see

244
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:40,440
Speaker 1: and he needs to work on, but he's getting better

245
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:45,960
Speaker 1: every day. He's very very intelligent player with good football

246
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:52,560
Speaker 1: instincts and a good background and can handle the communication

247
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:58,560
Speaker 1: and signal calling and adjustments that come with playing the

248
00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:01,200
Speaker 1: position that he plays, which is you know, generally right

249
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:04,239
Speaker 1: in the middle of the defense where where a lot

250
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:07,640
Speaker 1: of things can happen. But he he sees things well

251
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:11,840
Speaker 1: and can sort him out and make good pre snap

252
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:15,159
Speaker 1: decisions and make good post that snap decisions and make

253
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 1: them quickly, so those all played at his advantage. Thank

254
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:24,640
Speaker 1: you very much. Coaching Okay, great, thank you
