Speaker 1: Ricky Piersoll got his first coal practiced in today.
Speaker 2: What have you seen from him?
Speaker 1: Was it like throwing to the rookie? Yeah, glad to
Speaker 1: have him back. I think you can kind of sees explosive.
Speaker 1: He's quick in and out of his breaks. He's a
Speaker 1: really good route runner. He's gonna he's definitely gonna help
Speaker 1: us in that sense. And I think the more reps
Speaker 1: he can get, the more time he can spend out
Speaker 1: there practicing, the better he's gonna get.
Speaker 3: This camp been like for you having been here a
Speaker 3: full year, going through you know the playbook.
Speaker 2: Wise, Yeah, you feel just a lot more comfortable ring
Speaker 2: the system. Yeah. Absolutely.
Speaker 1: I think everyone knows Kyle's offenses is difficult at times
Speaker 1: to to kind of get down to kind of be
Speaker 1: really comfortable in, and it comes with with reps and
Speaker 1: studying and all that. And so I think having that
Speaker 1: that whole year last year to be in it and
Speaker 1: then come back again this year with the the same
Speaker 1: system has been good and definitely more comfortable, mainly in
Speaker 1: terms of verbiage. Uh, I've been able to call the
Speaker 1: plays a lot easier visual in my head, and so
Speaker 1: I definitely think last year helped.
Speaker 3: The keys for a quarterback to succeed in this system.
Speaker 1: We're really big on playing with our feet, knowing where
Speaker 1: to go on what hitch, and and the timing of
Speaker 1: routes and and and seeing the defense and knowing and
Speaker 1: throwing the holes really and and so I think if
Speaker 1: you can, you can play with your feet and be
Speaker 1: really dialed into you know, here's my first hitch, here's
Speaker 1: my second hitch, here's my checkdown. What defense do they end?
Speaker 1: What do I anticipate being open? I think you can
Speaker 1: succeed in this offense. An you kind of describe your
Speaker 1: relationship with Rockberdy and how you help him with your
Speaker 1: years in the league. Yeah, you know, I think the
Speaker 1: biggest thing Brock's awesome, you know obviously, and the way
Speaker 1: you played last year kind of shows that. And and
Speaker 1: he can make all the throws, he can make all
Speaker 1: the plays. I think what what I do bring into
Speaker 1: the QB room is is what you said, kind of
Speaker 1: just the years in the league and and just the
Speaker 1: amount of defenses I've seen, the amount of you know,
Speaker 1: just kind of reps where you know, I've seen this
Speaker 1: coverage play out a certain way, you know, just little
Speaker 1: tips here and there, where if you you know, you
Speaker 1: know the coverage, but if you see him kind of
Speaker 1: playing it this way, you know, you can anticipate he's
Speaker 1: gonna undercut this route, or you anticipate this is going
Speaker 1: to be open, that sort of thing. And so I
Speaker 1: do think just kind of the years in the league,
Speaker 1: the experience that I've that I've accrued has kind of
Speaker 1: been helpful for him, Like.
Speaker 3: Any defensive keys, like maybe some defense has started playing
Speaker 3: in a certain way.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's it's different week to week obviously,
Speaker 1: with just you know, the style of defense you're going
Speaker 1: against week to week, the different types of players. You know,
Speaker 1: some corners may be more aggressive than others, some some
Speaker 1: linebackers might get a lot of depth on the drops,
Speaker 1: some might not as much, some bite hard on the face.
Speaker 2: So I think it really depends week to week. You
Speaker 2: mentioned getting the reps. Obviously last year this time you weren't.
Speaker 3: Getting nearly as many as you are this can how
Speaker 3: much growth have you seen in yourself just in terms
Speaker 3: of being comfortable in.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, I do think, yeah, I do think
Speaker 1: a lot a lot more reps this year has helped.
Speaker 1: Just being able to to physically run the plays myself
Speaker 1: as opposed to to sitting and watching and trying to
Speaker 1: take the mental rep from last year. I do think
Speaker 1: getting in and getting more reps of actually running the
Speaker 1: plays has It's helped me a lot.
Speaker 3: Competitions a part of this league, and they brought Josh
Speaker 3: dobbson and his experience was almost a polar opposite of
Speaker 3: the years. He starts with Cleveland, then he goes to Arizona,
Speaker 3: and then he goes to Minnesota starts Yeah, can you
Speaker 3: imagine three systems in a year and what have you?
Speaker 2: What's your observations that Josh, No, it's not easy to do.
Speaker 1: And obviously he did pretty well being thrown in some
Speaker 1: tough situations like he did last year. And I've kind
Speaker 1: of known Josh for a while now, but obviously first
Speaker 1: observation's really smart. He's really picked up the offense pretty
Speaker 1: quickly being here, you know, in a short amount of
Speaker 1: time that he has and and you can see he's
Speaker 1: he's he's out into what he's trying.
Speaker 2: To do on the field.
Speaker 1: He knows, he knows the Reds, He's seen a lot
Speaker 1: of defenses, so you know, he's experienced, he's smart, accurate
Speaker 1: with the football, and that's kind everything you want.
Speaker 2: To see quarterback. What gives him a chance to be successful.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Tanner's got a you know, incredible arm and his talent.
Speaker 1: His arm talents, I put it probably close to the top.
Speaker 1: You know, he's he can spin the football. You can
Speaker 1: tell he's he's really he's really put the work in
Speaker 1: the film room, trying to learn the offense, get the
Speaker 1: verbiage down, call the plays.
Speaker 2: You know, it's a lot. It's a lot for him
Speaker 2: come from college.
Speaker 1: And in a system, you know, purely in the gun,
Speaker 1: I think in college for him, so so calling a
Speaker 1: play in the huddle was different for him. But I
Speaker 1: think he's he's done the work in the film room
Speaker 1: and you can you can see the arm talent that
Speaker 1: he has just when he when he lets go to
Speaker 1: the football, it comes off pretty well.
Speaker 3: There was a player he was following him and chased
Speaker 3: him around the outside.
Speaker 2: Was going on there.
Speaker 1: That's our conditioning. Yeah, that's we don't we don't call
Speaker 1: a lot of QB draws. So h anytime we give
Speaker 1: a handoff in in the you know we're with the
Speaker 1: running backs and we carry out a boot fake, he'll
Speaker 1: chase us down.
Speaker 2: Just so we get some conditioning and right Greasy, does
Speaker 2: that bring a little more fun?
Speaker 1: And uh yeah, you know you don't love when he's
Speaker 1: chasing you down and he's making your run to the sideline.
Speaker 1: But he does bring the energy every day in practice.
Speaker 1: And I think as quarterbacks we kind of feed off that.
Speaker 1: You know, when you can get a feeling when coaches,
Speaker 1: you know, are tired, it's been you know, it's a
Speaker 1: third day of practice in a row.
Speaker 2: But you really did never fill that with Grease. He's
Speaker 2: always got energy.
Speaker 1: He's always you know, getting us hyped up before practice
Speaker 1: to get us ready to go. And and it starts
Speaker 1: with with that, getting us a run and get going.
Speaker 3: Quickly.
Speaker 2: Here did you promise anything? But did you have at
Speaker 2: least some confidence or feeling that you.
Speaker 1: Have, you know, be able to compete for a backup
Speaker 1: drop this year?
Speaker 2: I hope.
Speaker 1: So, you know, part of signing back as quickly as
Speaker 1: I did, you know, I wanted an opportunity to to
Speaker 1: have a chance at the two, knowing full well they
Speaker 1: you know, could bring someone in and having compete for it.
Speaker 1: And you know, I think me and Josh had a
Speaker 1: pretty good comp tish going so far. And I think
Speaker 1: We push each other every day on the practice field,
Speaker 1: and you know, really as a as a QB group,
Speaker 1: as a whole, you know, we're out there all to
Speaker 1: make each other better, includes broad includes Tanner. You know
Speaker 1: we're we're all pushing to to make the right play,
Speaker 1: make the right throw. And you know there's no there's
Speaker 1: no animosity towards each other at all, like we want
Speaker 1: to see everyone succeed and make everyone around us better.
Speaker 2: Thanks
