WEBVTT - Brandon Allen Talks QB Room During Training Camp | Press Pass

0:00:01.120 --> 0:00:05.000
<v Speaker 1>Ricky Piersoll got his first coal practiced in today.

0:00:05.240 --> 0:00:06.280
<v Speaker 2>What have you seen from him?

0:00:06.400 --> 0:00:09.920
<v Speaker 1>Was it like throwing to the rookie? Yeah, glad to

0:00:09.960 --> 0:00:13.800
<v Speaker 1>have him back. I think you can kind of sees explosive.

0:00:13.800 --> 0:00:15.640
<v Speaker 1>He's quick in and out of his breaks. He's a

0:00:15.680 --> 0:00:18.600
<v Speaker 1>really good route runner. He's gonna he's definitely gonna help

0:00:18.680 --> 0:00:21.240
<v Speaker 1>us in that sense. And I think the more reps

0:00:21.280 --> 0:00:22.680
<v Speaker 1>he can get, the more time he can spend out

0:00:22.720 --> 0:00:24.640
<v Speaker 1>there practicing, the better he's gonna get.

0:00:25.760 --> 0:00:28.040
<v Speaker 3>This camp been like for you having been here a

0:00:28.040 --> 0:00:31.920
<v Speaker 3>full year, going through you know the playbook.

0:00:31.560 --> 0:00:34.280
<v Speaker 2>Wise, Yeah, you feel just a lot more comfortable ring

0:00:34.320 --> 0:00:35.760
<v Speaker 2>the system. Yeah. Absolutely.

0:00:36.360 --> 0:00:40.280
<v Speaker 1>I think everyone knows Kyle's offenses is difficult at times

0:00:40.280 --> 0:00:42.800
<v Speaker 1>to to kind of get down to kind of be

0:00:43.240 --> 0:00:46.040
<v Speaker 1>really comfortable in, and it comes with with reps and

0:00:46.159 --> 0:00:48.159
<v Speaker 1>studying and all that. And so I think having that

0:00:48.159 --> 0:00:49.640
<v Speaker 1>that whole year last year to be in it and

0:00:49.640 --> 0:00:51.880
<v Speaker 1>then come back again this year with the the same

0:00:51.960 --> 0:00:55.920
<v Speaker 1>system has been good and definitely more comfortable, mainly in

0:00:56.000 --> 0:00:58.800
<v Speaker 1>terms of verbiage. Uh, I've been able to call the

0:00:58.800 --> 0:01:01.520
<v Speaker 1>plays a lot easier visual in my head, and so

0:01:01.520 --> 0:01:02.959
<v Speaker 1>I definitely think last year helped.

0:01:03.720 --> 0:01:07.480
<v Speaker 3>The keys for a quarterback to succeed in this system.

0:01:08.840 --> 0:01:12.080
<v Speaker 1>We're really big on playing with our feet, knowing where

0:01:12.120 --> 0:01:15.080
<v Speaker 1>to go on what hitch, and and the timing of

0:01:15.160 --> 0:01:18.080
<v Speaker 1>routes and and and seeing the defense and knowing and

0:01:18.080 --> 0:01:21.600
<v Speaker 1>throwing the holes really and and so I think if

0:01:21.600 --> 0:01:23.679
<v Speaker 1>you can, you can play with your feet and be

0:01:23.760 --> 0:01:26.080
<v Speaker 1>really dialed into you know, here's my first hitch, here's

0:01:26.120 --> 0:01:29.440
<v Speaker 1>my second hitch, here's my checkdown. What defense do they end?

0:01:29.480 --> 0:01:32.120
<v Speaker 1>What do I anticipate being open? I think you can

0:01:32.160 --> 0:01:36.520
<v Speaker 1>succeed in this offense. An you kind of describe your

0:01:36.600 --> 0:01:40.600
<v Speaker 1>relationship with Rockberdy and how you help him with your

0:01:40.800 --> 0:01:43.600
<v Speaker 1>years in the league. Yeah, you know, I think the

0:01:43.600 --> 0:01:46.280
<v Speaker 1>biggest thing Brock's awesome, you know obviously, and the way

0:01:46.319 --> 0:01:48.600
<v Speaker 1>you played last year kind of shows that. And and

0:01:48.680 --> 0:01:50.080
<v Speaker 1>he can make all the throws, he can make all

0:01:50.120 --> 0:01:53.559
<v Speaker 1>the plays. I think what what I do bring into

0:01:53.600 --> 0:01:55.240
<v Speaker 1>the QB room is is what you said, kind of

0:01:55.280 --> 0:01:57.240
<v Speaker 1>just the years in the league and and just the

0:01:57.280 --> 0:02:00.720
<v Speaker 1>amount of defenses I've seen, the amount of you know,

0:02:00.840 --> 0:02:03.440
<v Speaker 1>just kind of reps where you know, I've seen this

0:02:03.480 --> 0:02:05.680
<v Speaker 1>coverage play out a certain way, you know, just little

0:02:05.720 --> 0:02:07.200
<v Speaker 1>tips here and there, where if you you know, you

0:02:07.240 --> 0:02:09.280
<v Speaker 1>know the coverage, but if you see him kind of

0:02:09.280 --> 0:02:11.280
<v Speaker 1>playing it this way, you know, you can anticipate he's

0:02:11.280 --> 0:02:13.640
<v Speaker 1>gonna undercut this route, or you anticipate this is going

0:02:13.720 --> 0:02:16.519
<v Speaker 1>to be open, that sort of thing. And so I

0:02:16.800 --> 0:02:18.960
<v Speaker 1>do think just kind of the years in the league,

0:02:18.960 --> 0:02:22.440
<v Speaker 1>the experience that I've that I've accrued has kind of

0:02:22.440 --> 0:02:24.560
<v Speaker 1>been helpful for him, Like.

0:02:24.480 --> 0:02:28.080
<v Speaker 3>Any defensive keys, like maybe some defense has started playing

0:02:28.120 --> 0:02:31.320
<v Speaker 3>in a certain way.

0:02:31.960 --> 0:02:34.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I think it's it's different week to week obviously,

0:02:35.000 --> 0:02:37.799
<v Speaker 1>with just you know, the style of defense you're going

0:02:37.800 --> 0:02:40.600
<v Speaker 1>against week to week, the different types of players. You know,

0:02:40.639 --> 0:02:42.720
<v Speaker 1>some corners may be more aggressive than others, some some

0:02:42.800 --> 0:02:45.640
<v Speaker 1>linebackers might get a lot of depth on the drops,

0:02:45.680 --> 0:02:47.600
<v Speaker 1>some might not as much, some bite hard on the face.

0:02:47.600 --> 0:02:50.799
<v Speaker 2>So I think it really depends week to week. You

0:02:50.880 --> 0:02:53.520
<v Speaker 2>mentioned getting the reps. Obviously last year this time you weren't.

0:02:53.320 --> 0:02:55.000
<v Speaker 3>Getting nearly as many as you are this can how

0:02:55.080 --> 0:02:56.839
<v Speaker 3>much growth have you seen in yourself just in terms

0:02:56.880 --> 0:02:57.960
<v Speaker 3>of being comfortable in.

0:02:58.400 --> 0:03:00.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you know, I do think, yeah, I do think

0:03:00.440 --> 0:03:02.120
<v Speaker 1>a lot a lot more reps this year has helped.

0:03:03.240 --> 0:03:06.160
<v Speaker 1>Just being able to to physically run the plays myself

0:03:06.160 --> 0:03:08.320
<v Speaker 1>as opposed to to sitting and watching and trying to

0:03:08.360 --> 0:03:10.680
<v Speaker 1>take the mental rep from last year. I do think

0:03:10.720 --> 0:03:14.320
<v Speaker 1>getting in and getting more reps of actually running the

0:03:14.320 --> 0:03:15.560
<v Speaker 1>plays has It's helped me a lot.

0:03:16.480 --> 0:03:18.880
<v Speaker 3>Competitions a part of this league, and they brought Josh

0:03:18.919 --> 0:03:22.160
<v Speaker 3>dobbson and his experience was almost a polar opposite of

0:03:22.160 --> 0:03:25.239
<v Speaker 3>the years. He starts with Cleveland, then he goes to Arizona,

0:03:25.320 --> 0:03:29.680
<v Speaker 3>and then he goes to Minnesota starts Yeah, can you

0:03:29.720 --> 0:03:32.040
<v Speaker 3>imagine three systems in a year and what have you?

0:03:32.080 --> 0:03:35.560
<v Speaker 2>What's your observations that Josh, No, it's not easy to do.

0:03:36.160 --> 0:03:39.280
<v Speaker 1>And obviously he did pretty well being thrown in some

0:03:39.280 --> 0:03:42.600
<v Speaker 1>tough situations like he did last year. And I've kind

0:03:42.600 --> 0:03:44.480
<v Speaker 1>of known Josh for a while now, but obviously first

0:03:44.520 --> 0:03:47.760
<v Speaker 1>observation's really smart. He's really picked up the offense pretty

0:03:47.800 --> 0:03:50.600
<v Speaker 1>quickly being here, you know, in a short amount of

0:03:50.640 --> 0:03:53.320
<v Speaker 1>time that he has and and you can see he's

0:03:53.320 --> 0:03:55.040
<v Speaker 1>he's he's out into what he's trying.

0:03:54.800 --> 0:03:55.480
<v Speaker 2>To do on the field.

0:03:55.480 --> 0:03:57.760
<v Speaker 1>He knows, he knows the Reds, He's seen a lot

0:03:57.760 --> 0:04:01.520
<v Speaker 1>of defenses, so you know, he's experienced, he's smart, accurate

0:04:01.520 --> 0:04:03.240
<v Speaker 1>with the football, and that's kind everything you want.

0:04:03.120 --> 0:04:06.480
<v Speaker 2>To see quarterback. What gives him a chance to be successful.

0:04:06.560 --> 0:04:09.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Tanner's got a you know, incredible arm and his talent.

0:04:09.400 --> 0:04:12.120
<v Speaker 1>His arm talents, I put it probably close to the top.

0:04:12.200 --> 0:04:15.640
<v Speaker 1>You know, he's he can spin the football. You can

0:04:15.640 --> 0:04:18.280
<v Speaker 1>tell he's he's really he's really put the work in

0:04:18.320 --> 0:04:20.479
<v Speaker 1>the film room, trying to learn the offense, get the

0:04:20.520 --> 0:04:21.760
<v Speaker 1>verbiage down, call the plays.

0:04:21.760 --> 0:04:23.560
<v Speaker 2>You know, it's a lot. It's a lot for him

0:04:23.560 --> 0:04:24.640
<v Speaker 2>come from college.

0:04:24.279 --> 0:04:26.760
<v Speaker 1>And in a system, you know, purely in the gun,

0:04:26.800 --> 0:04:29.120
<v Speaker 1>I think in college for him, so so calling a

0:04:29.160 --> 0:04:31.839
<v Speaker 1>play in the huddle was different for him. But I

0:04:31.880 --> 0:04:34.120
<v Speaker 1>think he's he's done the work in the film room

0:04:34.160 --> 0:04:35.760
<v Speaker 1>and you can you can see the arm talent that

0:04:35.800 --> 0:04:37.400
<v Speaker 1>he has just when he when he lets go to

0:04:37.400 --> 0:04:38.719
<v Speaker 1>the football, it comes off pretty well.

0:04:40.120 --> 0:04:42.440
<v Speaker 3>There was a player he was following him and chased

0:04:42.480 --> 0:04:44.039
<v Speaker 3>him around the outside.

0:04:45.240 --> 0:04:45.840
<v Speaker 2>Was going on there.

0:04:45.920 --> 0:04:49.640
<v Speaker 1>That's our conditioning. Yeah, that's we don't we don't call

0:04:49.680 --> 0:04:52.400
<v Speaker 1>a lot of QB draws. So h anytime we give

0:04:52.440 --> 0:04:54.440
<v Speaker 1>a handoff in in the you know we're with the

0:04:54.520 --> 0:04:56.760
<v Speaker 1>running backs and we carry out a boot fake, he'll

0:04:56.800 --> 0:04:57.320
<v Speaker 1>chase us down.

0:04:57.400 --> 0:05:00.880
<v Speaker 2>Just so we get some conditioning and right Greasy, does

0:05:00.880 --> 0:05:01.960
<v Speaker 2>that bring a little more fun?

0:05:02.000 --> 0:05:06.680
<v Speaker 1>And uh yeah, you know you don't love when he's

0:05:06.720 --> 0:05:08.600
<v Speaker 1>chasing you down and he's making your run to the sideline.

0:05:08.640 --> 0:05:11.239
<v Speaker 1>But he does bring the energy every day in practice.

0:05:11.279 --> 0:05:13.800
<v Speaker 1>And I think as quarterbacks we kind of feed off that.

0:05:13.920 --> 0:05:16.200
<v Speaker 1>You know, when you can get a feeling when coaches,

0:05:16.240 --> 0:05:18.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, are tired, it's been you know, it's a

0:05:18.320 --> 0:05:19.560
<v Speaker 1>third day of practice in a row.

0:05:19.680 --> 0:05:22.000
<v Speaker 2>But you really did never fill that with Grease. He's

0:05:22.000 --> 0:05:22.800
<v Speaker 2>always got energy.

0:05:23.560 --> 0:05:26.320
<v Speaker 1>He's always you know, getting us hyped up before practice

0:05:26.320 --> 0:05:27.760
<v Speaker 1>to get us ready to go. And and it starts

0:05:27.800 --> 0:05:30.160
<v Speaker 1>with with that, getting us a run and get going.

0:05:33.320 --> 0:05:33.680
<v Speaker 3>Quickly.

0:05:33.760 --> 0:05:37.839
<v Speaker 2>Here did you promise anything? But did you have at

0:05:37.920 --> 0:05:40.919
<v Speaker 2>least some confidence or feeling that you.

0:05:41.120 --> 0:05:43.200
<v Speaker 1>Have, you know, be able to compete for a backup

0:05:43.279 --> 0:05:43.880
<v Speaker 1>drop this year?

0:05:44.600 --> 0:05:44.960
<v Speaker 2>I hope.

0:05:45.000 --> 0:05:48.200
<v Speaker 1>So, you know, part of signing back as quickly as

0:05:48.240 --> 0:05:50.440
<v Speaker 1>I did, you know, I wanted an opportunity to to

0:05:50.480 --> 0:05:54.040
<v Speaker 1>have a chance at the two, knowing full well they

0:05:54.200 --> 0:05:56.919
<v Speaker 1>you know, could bring someone in and having compete for it.

0:05:56.960 --> 0:05:59.400
<v Speaker 1>And you know, I think me and Josh had a

0:05:59.440 --> 0:06:01.880
<v Speaker 1>pretty good comp tish going so far. And I think

0:06:01.920 --> 0:06:04.200
<v Speaker 1>We push each other every day on the practice field,

0:06:04.200 --> 0:06:08.120
<v Speaker 1>and you know, really as a as a QB group,

0:06:08.160 --> 0:06:09.600
<v Speaker 1>as a whole, you know, we're out there all to

0:06:09.680 --> 0:06:13.080
<v Speaker 1>make each other better, includes broad includes Tanner. You know

0:06:13.160 --> 0:06:15.640
<v Speaker 1>we're we're all pushing to to make the right play,

0:06:15.720 --> 0:06:19.640
<v Speaker 1>make the right throw. And you know there's no there's

0:06:19.640 --> 0:06:21.680
<v Speaker 1>no animosity towards each other at all, like we want

0:06:21.720 --> 0:06:24.360
<v Speaker 1>to see everyone succeed and make everyone around us better.

0:06:27.120 --> 0:06:28.200
<v Speaker 2>Thanks
