1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think what we were looking for was alignment 2 00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:07,720 Speaker 1: assignments kind of limited some of the motions just to hey, 3 00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:09,680 Speaker 1: let's go get our cleats in the ground, let's go 4 00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:13,600 Speaker 1: play fundamental football. I thought overall, you know, semi clean 5 00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:17,520 Speaker 1: had a couple procedures, but it wasn't egregious. I had 6 00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:19,799 Speaker 1: a couple good hard counts there, we got a free play, 7 00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:22,560 Speaker 1: so there's some situational stuff that came up. You know, 8 00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:24,960 Speaker 1: had to turn over on the defensive side. So hey, 9 00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:26,680 Speaker 1: it was back and forth, which is kind of what 10 00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:30,240 Speaker 1: you're expecting and hoping for in practice, won and pretty solid. 11 00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:34,559 Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess exclusively on offense to day what's going 12 00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:35,200 Speaker 2: to be that plan? 13 00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:36,440 Speaker 3: But he's going to be one day. 14 00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:37,880 Speaker 2: Will he ever flip? 15 00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:40,440 Speaker 1: And yeah some practices yea, yeah, yeah, he will probably 16 00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:44,360 Speaker 1: within the first you know, six practices or so, like 17 00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:46,239 Speaker 1: we'll probably have them. You know, you want to give 18 00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:48,559 Speaker 1: him a couple of days offense, couple of days defense 19 00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:51,840 Speaker 1: and then give him an opportunity to go flip flop 20 00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:54,800 Speaker 1: within the same practice, and then that will kind of 21 00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:58,400 Speaker 1: become the norm. Right Like, once we do that, that'll 22 00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:01,279 Speaker 1: kind of become the norm. And how we operate, but 23 00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:03,400 Speaker 1: it'll probably be within the first week or so. 24 00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:05,679 Speaker 2: Camp. 25 00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:07,119 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, the whole camp. 26 00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:10,240 Speaker 1: Every single moment. I don't know if you saw it 27 00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:14,760 Speaker 1: during special teams, he was doing defensive drills and fundamentals 28 00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:19,280 Speaker 1: and footwork. So you know, he's every moment, every minute 29 00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:22,600 Speaker 1: that he is in the building, it is accounted for 30 00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:26,440 Speaker 1: and trying to make sure that we maximize you know, 31 00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:29,640 Speaker 1: his time, our time so that we can ultimately get 32 00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:30,800 Speaker 1: the you know, the best outcome. 33 00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:34,479 Speaker 2: It's doing extra work, like they go down to the Bahamas, 34 00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:36,880 Speaker 2: they're at Episcopal all of the things. Just how much 35 00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:40,039 Speaker 2: does that show up here when they're back together again. 36 00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:40,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's huge. 37 00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:43,319 Speaker 1: I mean, look, there's a lot of new faces in 38 00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:47,360 Speaker 1: a lot of positions, and so ultimately, you know, for 39 00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:49,920 Speaker 1: us to truly play as a team, they got to 40 00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:53,040 Speaker 1: get to know each other. They actually have to enjoy 41 00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:57,840 Speaker 1: one another's company, enjoy doing it together. And I appreciate 42 00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:00,160 Speaker 1: them doing the extra you know, some of the their 43 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:04,160 Speaker 1: own personal time, what you would call his vacation. You know, 44 00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 1: I'm sure they had a good time getting to know 45 00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:08,120 Speaker 1: one another, but also got some quality work in which 46 00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:11,639 Speaker 1: we as coaches appreciate Mason. 47 00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:13,200 Speaker 4: Smith, and he gives us an idea of how long 48 00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:13,959 Speaker 4: doing on the play. 49 00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:17,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think extremely long. It's not a major issue. 50 00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:21,760 Speaker 1: It's a little bit more precautionary. You know, just tweaked 51 00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,360 Speaker 1: it kind of the week of camp, you know of camp. 52 00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:25,440 Speaker 3: So nothing. 53 00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:28,600 Speaker 1: He had a great offseason, He worked his tail off, 54 00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:31,280 Speaker 1: He was here a ton, it was in great shape, 55 00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:33,360 Speaker 1: worked his tail off, So it was a little bit 56 00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:36,240 Speaker 1: of a bummer obviously, but uh, it's a little bit 57 00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:38,520 Speaker 1: more precautionary. Could he go and play in a game 58 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,840 Speaker 1: in this week, you know, who knows, But it won't 59 00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:46,119 Speaker 1: be too long. I think he is that disclosed yet. 60 00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:48,000 Speaker 1: I'm not sure if it's disclosed. I don't think it's 61 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:48,720 Speaker 1: disclosed yet. 62 00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:55,400 Speaker 4: Yeah, a new transition with players have coming from your 63 00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:56,440 Speaker 4: regime to the new regime. 64 00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:57,560 Speaker 3: How quickly did these. 65 00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:01,280 Speaker 4: Guys buy into what you're trying to hear and to 66 00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:04,680 Speaker 4: see that in your first practice. 67 00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:07,840 Speaker 1: Or Yeah, I think that ultimately everybody wants to be 68 00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:11,680 Speaker 1: coached right like, so you know, I think that we'll 69 00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,640 Speaker 1: see the buy in a little bit more and truly 70 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:16,680 Speaker 1: our game, you know, in our games. But in the 71 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:20,440 Speaker 1: process they have they've done everything we've asked them to 72 00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:25,040 Speaker 1: do from an energy standpoint communication. You know, it's still 73 00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:28,280 Speaker 1: every day. You know, we're continuing to improve those things 74 00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:32,120 Speaker 1: and continue to you know, talk about it in the 75 00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:34,800 Speaker 1: meetings and the team meetings, but you know, so far, 76 00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:38,120 Speaker 1: pretty solid feedback. I think anytime there's change, there's ultimately, 77 00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:40,360 Speaker 1: you know, things they like and there's probably things they 78 00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:42,040 Speaker 1: don't like. Right at the end of the day, we 79 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:43,920 Speaker 1: all understand that that's very normal. 80 00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:47,119 Speaker 3: So, you know, I think just getting. 81 00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:49,000 Speaker 1: To know them a little bit more on a personal 82 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:52,080 Speaker 1: level and what they're trying to get better at, how 83 00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:54,440 Speaker 1: we can see them improve. Anytime a player thinks you 84 00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:57,080 Speaker 1: can help them, I think ultimately that's when they start 85 00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:58,320 Speaker 1: to trust you. 86 00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:01,880 Speaker 4: You said you got Travis's mapped out, was that he 87 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:05,240 Speaker 4: get evaluated on a daily basis, maybe even evolved or 88 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:06,280 Speaker 4: at how that's going. 89 00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:09,200 Speaker 1: Can't Yeah, I think it. I mean it evolved a 90 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 1: little bit from the offseason program. Right like we saw 91 00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:16,600 Speaker 1: there was a span where maybe he practiced on offense. 92 00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:19,000 Speaker 1: Let's call it a Thursday, because we didn't do anything 93 00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:22,120 Speaker 1: on the Fridays, and then he had Friday, Saturday, Sunday, 94 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:24,240 Speaker 1: and then Monday he was on defense. That's like four 95 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:27,039 Speaker 1: days without doing anything on offense. Well, we learned that 96 00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:30,000 Speaker 1: was too long, right, that's too long to kind of 97 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,919 Speaker 1: go without doing anything on maybe the other side of 98 00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:35,640 Speaker 1: the ball. So we learned something there, and we also 99 00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 1: within these blocks where we're kind of three days on 100 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:41,560 Speaker 1: with an off day, it allows us to map it 101 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,960 Speaker 1: out maybe a little bit cleaner and give him more opportunities. 102 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:48,480 Speaker 1: But every single day that he is on one side 103 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:51,680 Speaker 1: of the ball, he will meet with the other side 104 00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:55,240 Speaker 1: of the ball at least once, maybe twice as well, 105 00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:59,640 Speaker 1: So trying to not let that happen. Where he goes offense, offense, 106 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,320 Speaker 1: then practice on defense. But he hasn't heard a single 107 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:04,400 Speaker 1: thing on the defensive side of the ball in two days. 108 00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:08,159 Speaker 1: So we absolutely learned and I could see it continue 109 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:09,440 Speaker 1: to evolve this training camp. 110 00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:13,159 Speaker 2: I'm prescribed where Foreveri's footwork wise now based on when 111 00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:15,160 Speaker 2: he first gotten here, engagement that's have to work on. 112 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think today I thought he was pretty clean 113 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 1: in a lot of ways. 114 00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:20,520 Speaker 3: You know. 115 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:23,080 Speaker 1: It's more so a we want to get our feet 116 00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:25,760 Speaker 1: to our target, but that doesn't mean your eyes have 117 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,599 Speaker 1: to always be at your target. Like we can use 118 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:31,279 Speaker 1: our eyes as a weapon while keeping our feet clean. 119 00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:34,640 Speaker 1: That's been something we've continued to work on that, you know, 120 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:38,840 Speaker 1: going into this year in your in your development, your 121 00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:41,200 Speaker 1: eyes have to be a weapon and your feet have 122 00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:44,760 Speaker 1: to be in rhythm, right because we know once stuff 123 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,680 Speaker 1: starts moving, it's not going to always be perfect. So 124 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:50,160 Speaker 1: if we can continue to drill that, I thought he 125 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:52,440 Speaker 1: had a good day, like I said, today, and he's 126 00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:55,360 Speaker 1: taken to it right. He was right foot up all 127 00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:58,320 Speaker 1: last year and really the course of his career, and 128 00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:00,760 Speaker 1: now he's left foot up in the SHOTGUNNA talking about. 129 00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:03,159 Speaker 1: So that kind of involves a little bit of a 130 00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:07,080 Speaker 1: different rhythm footwork, and I thought, I think he's done 131 00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:08,520 Speaker 1: a nice job progressing that so far. 132 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:12,599 Speaker 2: Physical identity being something that you mentioned when you first 133 00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:16,280 Speaker 2: took over. Does that mean you'll have more physical practices 134 00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:17,920 Speaker 2: in training camp in order to make that happen. 135 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:20,280 Speaker 1: We're gonna have to. I mean, we only have the 136 00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:24,840 Speaker 1: one joint practice and you know, so ultimately we're gonna 137 00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:27,400 Speaker 1: have to do it with each other at times, and 138 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:30,440 Speaker 1: obviously you've got to control it and make sure that 139 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:33,360 Speaker 1: we're doing it the right way. But yeah, we're gonna 140 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:35,240 Speaker 1: have to be physical with one another. I mean, that's 141 00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:38,520 Speaker 1: just the bottom line. And you know, right now we're 142 00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,240 Speaker 1: trying to continue to find our edge. What is our 143 00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:44,000 Speaker 1: edge gonna be as a team, as a unit, as 144 00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:46,919 Speaker 1: a position group and each player and coach. So what 145 00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,680 Speaker 1: will be our edge? And we need to make physicality 146 00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:51,479 Speaker 1: a part of that and playing with an edge, so 147 00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:53,840 Speaker 1: we will we will definitely have to get after it 148 00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:54,280 Speaker 1: a little bit. 149 00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:56,600 Speaker 2: You brought some of the receivers together over there and 150 00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:59,279 Speaker 2: during the special teams period on the podcast. Why was 151 00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:00,719 Speaker 2: that important just in that moment? 152 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, just gissing more immediate feedback, right, Like there's ultimately 153 00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 1: coaching points that happen out here that shoot, maybe I 154 00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:09,800 Speaker 1: forget in like two hours to continue to remind them 155 00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:13,080 Speaker 1: of you know, whereas I know their position coaches will 156 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:15,360 Speaker 1: cover it. But you know it's good to hear, you know, 157 00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:18,440 Speaker 1: for me ultimately on both sides of the ball, Hey, 158 00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:20,400 Speaker 1: this is something I'm seeing, like how can we make 159 00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:23,520 Speaker 1: this better? Ultimately? And both those guys it was not 160 00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:25,880 Speaker 1: necessarily a mistake. It was just something that we can 161 00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:30,720 Speaker 1: continue to clean up, make better, evolve, And you know, 162 00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:32,480 Speaker 1: those guys take coaching really well. 163 00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:34,080 Speaker 3: In the same vein. 164 00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:36,280 Speaker 2: After BTJ had to drop, you were one of the 165 00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:38,680 Speaker 2: first people over to him say, hey, let's keep going. Yeah, 166 00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:40,880 Speaker 2: just I know you talk about the power of touch 167 00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:42,800 Speaker 2: and all those things. How are you coming along with bad? 168 00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:43,320 Speaker 3: Yeah? Good? 169 00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:46,320 Speaker 1: I mean you know, ultimately we had a few drops today, right, 170 00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:47,760 Speaker 1: I mean you had three of them, I think to 171 00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:50,800 Speaker 1: my knowledge, and so like that's part of the game. 172 00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:53,680 Speaker 1: Like it's a physical mistake. He didn't mean to do it, 173 00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:57,040 Speaker 1: he didn't try to do it intentionally. It's usually what 174 00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,520 Speaker 1: happens when you lose your legs a little and you 175 00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:02,160 Speaker 1: lose a lot focus. So just trying to hey man, 176 00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:05,680 Speaker 1: let's move on, right, We've got to be short memory, 177 00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:08,240 Speaker 1: all of us at all times. I'm speaking of myself, 178 00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:11,440 Speaker 1: and uh, you know, play the next play like nothing 179 00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:14,040 Speaker 1: matters but the next play. And it's so much like 180 00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:16,640 Speaker 1: a golfer, right, being a caddy as a coach, it's 181 00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:19,760 Speaker 1: like next shop mentality, next play mentality, Let's move on, 182 00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:22,160 Speaker 1: and uh, you can't do anything about it. 183 00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:25,880 Speaker 5: Condition that the team has come back when. 184 00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:28,760 Speaker 1: After breaking Yeah, I think, like you know, it's so hard. 185 00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:32,760 Speaker 1: You know, we do a conditioning test, and that conditioning test, 186 00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:35,840 Speaker 1: you know, the conditioning test for players is playing the game. 187 00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:39,720 Speaker 1: And so ultimately, like I'm pleased with the way they 188 00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:42,280 Speaker 1: came in, you know, came in We're gonna have to 189 00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:44,839 Speaker 1: get in football shape still, Like that's the reality, right, 190 00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:47,080 Speaker 1: Like they can get in conditioning shape all they want, 191 00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:50,240 Speaker 1: but football shape is a completely different thing. And so 192 00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:53,240 Speaker 1: you know, I think it'll probably take a couple of 193 00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:56,480 Speaker 1: days for us to really feel like we're not dying 194 00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:58,920 Speaker 1: out there while having to think and move and do 195 00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:00,760 Speaker 1: all those things. So I was pleased with them. I 196 00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:02,600 Speaker 1: think they all worked pretty hard this summer. 197 00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:04,800 Speaker 2: When you were trying to come up with your training 198 00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:06,800 Speaker 2: can schedule as a head coach of the first. 199 00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:07,920 Speaker 4: Time you rely on them? 200 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a great question. We you know, you've been 201 00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:14,240 Speaker 1: to multiple different stops, right, and you've got great coaches 202 00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:16,320 Speaker 1: on your staff to rely on. And so we kind 203 00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:20,240 Speaker 1: of took a few different models of places we've been, 204 00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:24,360 Speaker 1: whether it was La Tampa, Minnesota, Seattle, a couple of 205 00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:27,640 Speaker 1: different places where our coaches have you know, specifically been 206 00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:30,280 Speaker 1: and Green Bay, Campy and just kind of all right, 207 00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:33,080 Speaker 1: what what fits us right and how do we make 208 00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:37,040 Speaker 1: this ours? That's that was it really how we went 209 00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:40,520 Speaker 1: through Jake Kaiser and Shane Waldron really helped me out 210 00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:42,920 Speaker 1: with that throughout the off season program. It's something I've 211 00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:45,160 Speaker 1: only had to do on one side of the ball 212 00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:48,559 Speaker 1: with an offensive calendar and install schedule, and now you've 213 00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,440 Speaker 1: got to make and create schedules for the entire offseason 214 00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:54,640 Speaker 1: program and season. It's a little different, you know, but 215 00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:57,640 Speaker 1: ultimately the benefit of having one o'clock games throughout the 216 00:09:57,640 --> 00:09:59,800 Speaker 1: whole season and with the exception of the Monday night game, 217 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:01,920 Speaker 1: I don't have a ton of different schedules and routines 218 00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:02,319 Speaker 1: for the year. 219 00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:05,440 Speaker 4: That's one of those unseen things that a head coach. 220 00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:06,920 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, first time has to deal with them. 221 00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:07,400 Speaker 3: We know nothing. 222 00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:09,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, that was one of those things that you think 223 00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:12,560 Speaker 1: you can kind of just like copy paste kind of 224 00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:14,400 Speaker 1: you know from places you know, maybe, oh well I 225 00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:15,880 Speaker 1: just did it like this in Tampa. 226 00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:17,440 Speaker 3: You know, it worked, it was good. 227 00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:19,840 Speaker 1: But then you are there's different ways to skin a cat, right, 228 00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:22,520 Speaker 1: and there's different ways that ultimately you want to make 229 00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:26,480 Speaker 1: sure that you're maximizing time while also being fair right 230 00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:29,760 Speaker 1: within the schedule and making sure that we don't leave 231 00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:32,439 Speaker 1: training camp and we're not going into week one with 232 00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:34,760 Speaker 1: no legs, Like, that's not the goal. The goal is 233 00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:39,079 Speaker 1: to go into week one with legs feeling fresh, feeling fast, 234 00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:42,880 Speaker 1: and ultimately healthy. So it's definitely a little bit underestimated 235 00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:44,680 Speaker 1: and I'm glad that it's over. 236 00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:47,760 Speaker 3: You gotta balance that at all. 237 00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:49,120 Speaker 5: I'll talk to one of the guys who said, this 238 00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:51,960 Speaker 5: first day feels different than it has in years past, 239 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,120 Speaker 5: and they like the energy every by smiling and working, 240 00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:56,680 Speaker 5: but you have to balance the crank it up today 241 00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:58,120 Speaker 5: but be ready for a week one. 242 00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:03,679 Speaker 1: Absolutely, it's definitely, especially in training camp, it's probably one 243 00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:05,520 Speaker 1: of the more delicate things you think about as a 244 00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:09,040 Speaker 1: head coach, where it's like you're continuing to try to 245 00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:12,040 Speaker 1: push and you want to push those limits of toughness 246 00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:14,480 Speaker 1: and be able to make sure that we're getting mentally 247 00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:19,080 Speaker 1: and physically tough every single day, while also balancing man like, 248 00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:22,400 Speaker 1: you never want anybody to get hurt. You never want 249 00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:24,960 Speaker 1: to so it's like, all right, rep count time on 250 00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:30,280 Speaker 1: the grass, recovery time, transition times, like, it's absolutely a balance. 251 00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:32,960 Speaker 1: You want these guys to come out cranked up, ready 252 00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:36,640 Speaker 1: to go each and every day, but it's definitely a balance. 253 00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:37,360 Speaker 3: That's uh. 254 00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:40,440 Speaker 1: I'm still learning thank. 255 00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:40,680 Speaker 5: You, guys. 256 00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:43,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's go time. So what does that sort of 257 00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:43,840 Speaker 3: mean to you? 258 00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:45,880 Speaker 2: What does that look like in terms of what you 259 00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:47,080 Speaker 2: need to do to sort of get to that? 260 00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:50,440 Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, I think it's it's obviously the preparation 261 00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:51,920 Speaker 6: of the work you put in in the off season 262 00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:54,760 Speaker 6: and the stuff that's already been done, you know now 263 00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:56,600 Speaker 6: they were at camp. It's not really necessarily the time 264 00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:58,280 Speaker 6: to turn like clip a switch. It's kind of been 265 00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:02,079 Speaker 6: on since really post surgery recovery, trying to get back 266 00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:04,840 Speaker 6: healthy and learning the new system, all that stuff. Is 267 00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:07,040 Speaker 6: put a lot of time in this offseason into making 268 00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:09,640 Speaker 6: sure I'm ready to go this season. And I say 269 00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:11,080 Speaker 6: that too because I have a lot of confidence in 270 00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:13,840 Speaker 6: what we're doing here and the system, the staff, the 271 00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:16,000 Speaker 6: new players we brought in, the guys that have already 272 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,600 Speaker 6: been here, like the culture, everything we're building here. I 273 00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:20,920 Speaker 6: really have a lot of confidence and belief in what 274 00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:22,360 Speaker 6: we're doing and that we're doing it the right way. 275 00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:24,800 Speaker 6: And I think that, you know, frees me up in 276 00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:26,599 Speaker 6: a lot of ways and kind of allows me to 277 00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:28,079 Speaker 6: say that and feel confident about it. 278 00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:30,960 Speaker 3: Evaluate practice number one, spray. 279 00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:33,360 Speaker 6: It's better than the spring, you know, I think for everyone. 280 00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:36,360 Speaker 6: I speak for myself, but I assume you know the 281 00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:40,520 Speaker 6: offense feels very similarly. Just feels good to know the 282 00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:42,600 Speaker 6: system and to hear the calls and to go play 283 00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:44,600 Speaker 6: and to not think as much. It feels more like 284 00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:47,439 Speaker 6: second nature. So a couple execution things, a couple of 285 00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:49,160 Speaker 6: plays that we missed, you know, just a little bit 286 00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:51,640 Speaker 6: that we're gonna hit and we got to make moving forward. 287 00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:53,920 Speaker 6: But that's always gonna happen. It's never gonna be perfect. 288 00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:55,480 Speaker 6: So it felt good to get back on the grass, 289 00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:59,040 Speaker 6: guys moving around, flying around, kind of get our bodies 290 00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:01,640 Speaker 6: and minds back going. It was a good first day, 291 00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:04,480 Speaker 6: competitive back and forth. Defense made and plays, offense mads 292 00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:06,360 Speaker 6: and plays, and it's kind of what you want, so 293 00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:08,600 Speaker 6: build off that. And for us just to continue to 294 00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:11,640 Speaker 6: make those all those contested plays, we got to treat 295 00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:14,000 Speaker 6: them like those are all our balls. Either make the 296 00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:16,200 Speaker 6: throw and make the catch, make the block, whatever it is, 297 00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:16,880 Speaker 6: go make the play. 298 00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:19,320 Speaker 2: Thanks for work that you guys do away from the building, 299 00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:21,559 Speaker 2: whether that's the Bahamas trip or work at a Pistopol 300 00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:24,120 Speaker 2: or wherever. Just how much does that show up now 301 00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:25,320 Speaker 2: that you're back in the building. 302 00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:27,000 Speaker 3: Shows up a lot. 303 00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:28,640 Speaker 6: You know, there was some stuff in the spring where 304 00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:31,120 Speaker 6: you know, I was just coming off injury, just getting 305 00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:33,640 Speaker 6: back in the flow of throwing and really doing a 306 00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:35,360 Speaker 6: bunch of field work. I just started that once we 307 00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:39,480 Speaker 6: started OTA's and addition to a lot of new receivers 308 00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:41,480 Speaker 6: and getting some timing, and you know, even with BT 309 00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:43,400 Speaker 6: we only got half a season together, so even some 310 00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:46,000 Speaker 6: things there I wanted to polish up. And we were 311 00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:47,600 Speaker 6: able to get a lot of work in this offseason, 312 00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:50,000 Speaker 6: whether it was in the Bahamas or here, guys being 313 00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:52,360 Speaker 6: in town to work out. You know, guys did a 314 00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:55,000 Speaker 6: great job of being around, being available, and that stuff 315 00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:57,600 Speaker 6: carries over. So when you start camp there's a couple 316 00:13:57,640 --> 00:13:59,280 Speaker 6: throws a day. There were some timing throws that I 317 00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:01,559 Speaker 6: felt like we were on point that you wouldn't get 318 00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:02,880 Speaker 6: if you didn't get the reps in the off season, 319 00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:05,040 Speaker 6: just because they're hard. You gotta know, you gotta throw 320 00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:06,760 Speaker 6: it before the guy's break. They gotta trust you're gonna 321 00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:09,480 Speaker 6: put in the right spot, and you gotta have that time. 322 00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:11,880 Speaker 3: Was it like playing at. 323 00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:16,440 Speaker 6: He's great just you know, obviously he's kind of that 324 00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:20,040 Speaker 6: like silent Assassin. He's he's uh, just goes to work. 325 00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:21,640 Speaker 6: That's one thing I love about him. You know, he's 326 00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:23,960 Speaker 6: not a he's not a big ego look at me guy. 327 00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:26,280 Speaker 6: He just goes and puts the work in and makes 328 00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:29,200 Speaker 6: plays and just his speed, his one on one ability, 329 00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:33,120 Speaker 6: it's really impressive. And to have him on the outside 330 00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:35,120 Speaker 6: that matchup if they ever want to go one on one, 331 00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:37,720 Speaker 6: we feel like that's a favorable matchup for us, and 332 00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:40,120 Speaker 6: we're gonna win most of them. And then to add 333 00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:43,560 Speaker 6: the pieces that we've added only helps that because now 334 00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:46,800 Speaker 6: you just have so much speed, so much talent everywhere, 335 00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:49,840 Speaker 6: and there's a lot of mismatches, so you can't tilt 336 00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:51,840 Speaker 6: something one way just for BT or then you got 337 00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:52,720 Speaker 6: some other issues. 338 00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:54,280 Speaker 3: So it helps a lot. 339 00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:56,120 Speaker 6: And I just like the way he approaches his work 340 00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:57,960 Speaker 6: every day, honestly, just the way he carries himself. 341 00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:01,280 Speaker 1: You like about this song prints into the line of 342 00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:04,040 Speaker 1: scriptgey always feel like there's an answer there. So what's 343 00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:05,760 Speaker 1: that feeling like when you get to the line of 344 00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:08,280 Speaker 1: scrimmage and you don't have the answer to get out 345 00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:08,360 Speaker 1: of it? 346 00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:10,360 Speaker 3: I mean that can you just kind of walk us 347 00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:12,440 Speaker 3: through that a little bit? Yeah? 348 00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:16,200 Speaker 6: I mean there's sometimes you know that you don't have 349 00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:18,360 Speaker 6: the answer, and you know, poor the snap, that's not 350 00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:20,840 Speaker 6: a good feeling, and you try to just make the 351 00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:22,480 Speaker 6: best out of the play that you can. But then 352 00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:24,760 Speaker 6: there's sometimes we're right when the ball snapped, you're like, oh, shoot, 353 00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:27,480 Speaker 6: this isn't right. And that's sometimes either maybe I should 354 00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:29,760 Speaker 6: have got to the other play or maybe it was 355 00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:31,560 Speaker 6: just a look that we didn't anticipate. Like there's a 356 00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:33,560 Speaker 6: lot of different scenarios like that. But either way, I 357 00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:37,520 Speaker 6: think it's managing those times because that does happen, you know. 358 00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:39,840 Speaker 6: I think our staff does an awesome job, but there's 359 00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:41,800 Speaker 6: gonna be times at some point where we're not in 360 00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:43,760 Speaker 6: a great play and you can't be perfect, you know, 361 00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:46,160 Speaker 6: and they trust me to do the best thing with 362 00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:47,880 Speaker 6: the ball when those those are the that's some of 363 00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:49,920 Speaker 6: the most important situations is not to make a bad 364 00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:52,720 Speaker 6: play worse find a completion. That's something I've definitely had 365 00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:54,720 Speaker 6: to learn throughout my career, is not to try to 366 00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:56,720 Speaker 6: do too much on a play that's not you know, 367 00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:57,640 Speaker 6: that's an uphill play. 368 00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:01,320 Speaker 4: How different is you are you physically? You know, the 369 00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:03,640 Speaker 4: last couple of years, you've pretty much had to watch 370 00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:04,400 Speaker 4: from the sidelines. 371 00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:05,280 Speaker 1: At the end of the season. 372 00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:07,440 Speaker 4: So how has that changed you and how are you 373 00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:09,280 Speaker 4: feeling after the first practice. 374 00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:11,240 Speaker 6: I feel really good. It's the best I felt in 375 00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:15,000 Speaker 6: a long time. Physically, Yeah, it's it sucks not playing, 376 00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:16,160 Speaker 6: not being on the field, you know, it's all I 377 00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:17,880 Speaker 6: love to do, love to play, and you put in 378 00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:19,760 Speaker 6: all the work in the off season and through camp, 379 00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:22,800 Speaker 6: and then to have the season cut short isn't isn't fun. 380 00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:26,840 Speaker 6: So it's given me a really great appreciation for the 381 00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:29,080 Speaker 6: game and how much you know, I love it and 382 00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:32,120 Speaker 6: love being out here. And sometimes you take things for 383 00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:33,760 Speaker 6: granted when you when you get to do it every 384 00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:35,560 Speaker 6: day and you're healthy, and you take whether you take 385 00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:37,320 Speaker 6: your health for granted or playing the game for granted, 386 00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:39,800 Speaker 6: it's you know, when that's taken away for a little bit, 387 00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:42,640 Speaker 6: you kind of reflect and take a step back. And 388 00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:44,480 Speaker 6: it's been you know, in some ways, it's been good 389 00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:46,480 Speaker 6: for me. Unfortunately, you know, I missed some time and 390 00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:48,640 Speaker 6: never want to miss time. But I think it's been 391 00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:51,200 Speaker 6: good for some perspective things with me and myself and 392 00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:54,320 Speaker 6: how I view the game and moving forward, you know, 393 00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:56,320 Speaker 6: how I want to prepare myself and how I want 394 00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:58,840 Speaker 6: to play physically, what got. 395 00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:01,000 Speaker 3: Lives different this year and then the eight years past 396 00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:01,520 Speaker 3: to kind. 397 00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:05,040 Speaker 6: Of help with that or know a lot more, you know, prehab, 398 00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:08,800 Speaker 6: rehab therapy stuff on my shoulder obviously still you know, 399 00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:13,640 Speaker 6: after the surgery. But I think through the injuries I've had, 400 00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:17,960 Speaker 6: you learn things and you try to really stress those 401 00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:20,920 Speaker 6: areas and put them in different I guess positions and 402 00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:24,560 Speaker 6: uncomfortable spots, and you train those things to avoid, you know, 403 00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:26,640 Speaker 6: re injuring the same thing. And I think you learn 404 00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:28,560 Speaker 6: a lot after getting hurt as far as my body, 405 00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:31,240 Speaker 6: and maybe you look at things like, oh, in our plan, 406 00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:33,320 Speaker 6: maybe we didn't address that enough and we can add 407 00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:35,080 Speaker 6: some mass there, or we can add some strength there, 408 00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:35,639 Speaker 6: whether it's. 409 00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:38,240 Speaker 3: Shoulders or lower body or hips or whatever. 410 00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:40,120 Speaker 6: You know, there's a lot of things you can learn 411 00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:43,000 Speaker 6: from injuries and how to kind of minimize those moving forward. 412 00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:46,480 Speaker 3: Wam mentioned you just took a quiz couple of days ago. 413 00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:48,600 Speaker 3: Have you ever is that common? 414 00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:50,119 Speaker 5: Number one wasn't hard? 415 00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:56,320 Speaker 3: Number two common? No, it's not common. It was. 416 00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:59,040 Speaker 6: It was pretty difficult, and not all the questions. Some 417 00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:01,760 Speaker 6: of them were some layups, but I mean, yes, there 418 00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:03,640 Speaker 6: were some good There were some good questions, and there's 419 00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:06,600 Speaker 6: some tough ones that kind of got us back, get 420 00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:08,480 Speaker 6: us back going for camp and get the minds going, 421 00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:09,440 Speaker 6: and you know, all this stuff you have to do 422 00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:10,040 Speaker 6: as a quarterback. 423 00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:10,399 Speaker 3: It was good. 424 00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:13,480 Speaker 6: It kind of encompassed our whole offense and whether it's 425 00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:17,000 Speaker 6: scheme protections, it was a lot of stuff that was 426 00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:18,680 Speaker 6: good to do as like one of our first days 427 00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:20,600 Speaker 6: back to kind of make sure we're ready to go. 428 00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:23,760 Speaker 6: And we've been looking over our stuff this offseason a 429 00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:25,040 Speaker 6: lot of different offenses. 430 00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:28,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, is this the most difficult challenging one. 431 00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:32,359 Speaker 6: Yeah, I would say so, But I think now looking 432 00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:34,520 Speaker 6: at it as going through it now for the second 433 00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:37,640 Speaker 6: time after OTA's feels so much more confident and comfortable 434 00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:39,720 Speaker 6: in it. So the things that I thought were difficult 435 00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:42,600 Speaker 6: at first have become more second nature and aren't as 436 00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:45,000 Speaker 6: big of a deal now. So but yeah, I would 437 00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:47,280 Speaker 6: say just the amount of things you have to know, 438 00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:50,439 Speaker 6: the amount of calls with multiple plays so that we 439 00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:53,880 Speaker 6: can be in the whatever position to succeed, I can 440 00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:54,720 Speaker 6: be in the right play. 441 00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:56,600 Speaker 3: It's more of that than I've ever had. 442 00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:59,560 Speaker 6: It's a lot of emotions, a lot of shifts, all 443 00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:02,840 Speaker 6: those things, and then just longer play calls a little 444 00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:05,600 Speaker 6: bit more verbiage because of like I said, multiple plays 445 00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:08,040 Speaker 6: and motions and shifts. So but once you know it 446 00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:09,760 Speaker 6: in its second nature, you know what everything means and 447 00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:11,960 Speaker 6: it all makes sense. But at first it's like you're 448 00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:14,480 Speaker 6: trying to just spit everything back out and then put 449 00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:16,840 Speaker 6: it together at the end. So you know, thankfully we're 450 00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:18,560 Speaker 6: past that and the guys are rolling and feel good 451 00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:22,840 Speaker 6: about it now. I was, to be exact, I was 452 00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:25,560 Speaker 6: eighty five out of one hundred. Had a couple there 453 00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:28,120 Speaker 6: was a couple of little there's a couple of bad 454 00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:30,280 Speaker 6: answers in there by me that I know. Just it's 455 00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:33,440 Speaker 6: time too, so it's like twelve seconds to like punch 456 00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:35,399 Speaker 6: in the answer. So some of that like puts the 457 00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:36,879 Speaker 6: pressure on you. So I had some dumb answers and 458 00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:39,160 Speaker 6: then it glitched a couple of times, at least three 459 00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:40,520 Speaker 6: times some of my answers. 460 00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:45,720 Speaker 3: I'll say it too. But yeah, it was good. 461 00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:49,200 Speaker 6: It's good great, I mean plus B plus not great, 462 00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:53,240 Speaker 6: but b B yeah waited to be plus. 463 00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:56,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, we round up podcast. 464 00:19:56,400 --> 00:20:00,199 Speaker 2: But but work being tied to this offense, reading your 465 00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:03,960 Speaker 2: progressions according to the hitch of your footwork how much 466 00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:07,640 Speaker 2: have you gained from work he's been in the MC system, been. 467 00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:11,680 Speaker 5: In this system speed, Yeah, how you know you look 468 00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:13,679 Speaker 5: pretty sure about there was? 469 00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:16,200 Speaker 3: For sure, Nick is he's been in this system.

Has that 492 00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:10,080 Speaker 5: been an emphasis for you and how's that coming along? 493 00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:12,200 Speaker 6: Yeah, it's been great something I've worked a lot in 494 00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:14,520 Speaker 6: O Ta's and then this this summer break we were 495 00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:17,520 Speaker 6: on just use it exactly like you said, use my 496 00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:21,360 Speaker 6: eyes as a weapon and not not giving the defensive 497 00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:23,040 Speaker 6: tip on anything of where I'm going with the ball 498 00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:26,240 Speaker 6: and trying to use my eyes to move people or 499 00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:29,959 Speaker 6: to open up certain windows or whatever. It's been something 500 00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:32,919 Speaker 6: that a lot of quarterbacks do and you know, I 501 00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:35,600 Speaker 6: never really know it's it's something that never really been 502 00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:38,919 Speaker 6: taught necessarily, but to hear their perspective on certain plays 503 00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:41,560 Speaker 6: and the emphasis on certain places use your eyes, especially 504 00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:44,280 Speaker 6: to open windows, is something where it makes sense. But 505 00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:47,040 Speaker 6: it's just if you don't if you're not told to 506 00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:48,640 Speaker 6: do it, sometimes you don't think about it. And then 507 00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:51,480 Speaker 6: now you know, learning those little things that can help 508 00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:53,679 Speaker 6: make the windows two yards bigger. I mean, that's a 509 00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:56,800 Speaker 6: huge difference in this league. So it's helped a lot, 510 00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:58,639 Speaker 6: and they've they've taught me a lot about stuff like 511 00:21:58,680 --> 00:21:59,199 Speaker 6: that and. 512 00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:02,199 Speaker 2: Some of those workout videos you're wearing pads. Is there 513 00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:03,360 Speaker 2: a reason behind that. 514 00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:06,000 Speaker 6: Or in case someone comes in and hits me, you know, 515 00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:08,080 Speaker 6: I just want to have my no, I'm just kidding. 516 00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:09,720 Speaker 3: Uh. I usually throw. 517 00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:11,199 Speaker 6: I try to throw towards the end of the off 518 00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:15,359 Speaker 6: season in pads at least half the time, just because 519 00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:18,840 Speaker 6: you don't throw in pads all OTA's all spring, and 520 00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:20,639 Speaker 6: then you come to training camp and you're in pads, 521 00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:22,119 Speaker 6: and then you play games and you're in pads, so 522 00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:24,040 Speaker 6: it is different. You know, you have less range of motion, 523 00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:27,720 Speaker 6: it's clunkier you're moving around, especially on the run. And 524 00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:29,680 Speaker 6: I think it just helps me kind of get ready 525 00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:32,359 Speaker 6: to throw in pads when you know. Sounds silly, but 526 00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:35,760 Speaker 6: you do have to practice those things. Yeah, like two 527 00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:37,280 Speaker 6: more unless you're get. 528 00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:44,280 Speaker 3: Freaking Josh. Great show, great show. That's good. Thank you.
