1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,880
Speaker 1: There's there's this is a complex offense. There's a lot

2
00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:07,480
Speaker 1: asked upon you as you know a skilled player, just

3
00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:11,119
Speaker 1: as you know a football player in general. So getting

4
00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:14,760
Speaker 1: in the playbook, um, just rehearsing it, getting on the field,

5
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:17,959
Speaker 1: being able to get reps of walkthrough and then live action.

6
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:20,800
Speaker 1: You know, it helps again slow things down and kind

7
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:23,000
Speaker 1: of take that thinking out of it and just play

8
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:25,680
Speaker 1: ball again. How do you work through that's a book

9
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:29,880
Speaker 1: for me? You know it's again it's just uh starts

10
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:33,040
Speaker 1: with no cards. It's any however you study, you know,

11
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:37,479
Speaker 1: Washington tape, seeing it, visualizing it, come on the field,

12
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:40,239
Speaker 1: walking through it, running through it. That's the only way

13
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:44,280
Speaker 1: you're gonna really get better is getting all those repetitions.

14
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:48,440
Speaker 1: And again that's something during this training camp, in this process,

15
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:50,159
Speaker 1: that's it's a it's a learning curve. But you know

16
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:52,559
Speaker 1: you gotta catch up quick. A stop you you have

17
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 1: to do with Tom because every quarterback obviously likes it.

18
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:58,320
Speaker 1: It's a little bit different regardless of Clareful fiends. Yeah,

19
00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 1: I mean that's an important relationship on a stand how

20
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 1: he sees each individual concept play. Uh, you know I'm

21
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:08,480
Speaker 1: being in the right spot building that trust understanding again.

22
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:12,199
Speaker 1: You know, when when you're getting situations where it's live

23
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 1: and there's you know, more pressure, you've got to you've

24
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 1: gotta be dialed in. So just understanding again how he

25
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:19,840
Speaker 1: sees the game is important for every receiver and that's

26
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:22,119
Speaker 1: something that I've learned over time is just to build

27
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 1: again the same page and build that trust, get a

28
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:27,839
Speaker 1: strong end of practice. I catches in a row. Prior

29
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:29,759
Speaker 1: to that, there there were a handful of drops where

30
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 1: you thinking too much. Is that sort of what you

31
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 1: were alluding to. I mean, there's no excuses for it.

32
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 1: It's uh something that obviously get addressed, and um, you

33
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:40,960
Speaker 1: know that's that's something you work through again us And

34
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:43,760
Speaker 1: my mind is why God created practice is just to

35
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:45,679
Speaker 1: be able to get better and you know, kind of

36
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 1: get flush out out. But again, my job is to

37
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 1: catch the football, so I got to do better kind

38
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 1: of that field. But that's why we work on the side,

39
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 1: so I can you know, see how he throws, getting

40
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 1: certain routes, you know, and just kind of get that

41
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 1: get that rhythm where you know you still build fountness.

42
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 1: You obviously weren't here in this ring. So does that

43
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 1: don't matter if you're digging off for those I mean

44
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 1: and Ashley, yes, I mean haven't been anywhere all offseason,

45
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 1: so got work, you know, training, but it's not the

46
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 1: same assimilating live against the defensive, back against you know,

47
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 1: getting in the huddle, getting out the huddle of run

48
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:21,080
Speaker 1: against the defense and and you know executing. So again

49
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:23,520
Speaker 1: this is a process, uh, and just trying to get

50
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 1: better every days thought process. What do you say to

51
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 1: yourself to get over those frustrating I mean, it's probably

52
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 1: a game. We're all human, We're gonna make mistakes, but

53
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:34,399
Speaker 1: you know it's it's don't let it become a habit.

54
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 1: Don't let it happen over and over again. And uh,

55
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 1: you know this game is about meth and toughness, so

56
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 1: you gotta understand that you've gotta bounce back and they're

57
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 1: going to be asking to respond. You know, it's not

58
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:48,360
Speaker 1: really what you do with that moment's how you react

59
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 1: to it. Um So played a lot of football, a

60
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 1: few jobs in my days, and you know I have

61
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 1: many cashes as well, so I don't how to bounce

62
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:59,239
Speaker 1: back and get to it. Not exactly the most hard

63
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 1: hitting question, how you enjoying the eighty one it's working.

64
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 1: I might, I told Rob might throw a little the

65
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 1: little white permanent marker in game day. Now, it's it's

66
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 1: a good adjustment. Um. Obviously, I know that number means

67
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 1: a lot in the past. Um, A couple of options

68
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 1: I had about it, maybe look the most slimming now,

69
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:22,799
Speaker 1: but it's it's a good number. And just looking to

70
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 1: get in the field and played a little bit. Eric

71
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:30,639
Speaker 1: drops the past its white as the balls. You know,

72
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 1: it's obviously it's what conditions, But yeah, those are built

73
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 1: in excuses and in this game, you don't have excuses.

74
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 1: You just execute. You get the job done. That's why,

75
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 1: you know, we are professionals. That's why we get paid

76
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 1: to do what we do. And uh, that's in these situations,

77
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 1: in these environments, you learn, you know what you need

78
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 1: to do to get better as far as cushing the ball, uh,

79
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 1: you know, top of rouse, not slipping. Those are things

80
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 1: that makes a difference, you know, little things. So this

81
00:03:57,920 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 1: is just an opportunity to practice that and get better.

82
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 1: Just a good practice. As far as execute, Yeah, I

83
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 1: gotta go back and watch the tape. Um. You know,

84
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 1: it's it's hard to say right now, you're just in

85
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 1: the moment played by play um again, I guess you can.

86
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 1: I'll ask you that question all for you. Howfuckly you

87
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 1: learn how precise kind of once rous very fast? I mean,

88
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:26,039
Speaker 1: I think it's just the mentality overall, from Josh down

89
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 1: through the assistant coaches to every player you know in

90
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 1: the room. Offensively, this is a game of details of

91
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 1: being defined, being in the right spot, and so it's

92
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 1: important if you want to get on the field, you've

93
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,040
Speaker 1: got to be in the right spot. You gotta make

94
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 1: plays and and that at least to success. Eric Currec's

95
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 1: ben as how un played under Joshua. Now you're playing

96
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 1: under the offensive for here. Now how similar in the offense?

97
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:58,840
Speaker 1: And then you know, but you've had a few years

98
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:00,600
Speaker 1: in betweens and you have to and able to be

99
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:03,280
Speaker 1: it's a little care over. I thought it might be more,

100
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 1: but you know they've changed things over the years and

101
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:09,600
Speaker 1: uh done things that you know have changed and so

102
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 1: it's it's just a learning curve. It's uh yeah, just

103
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 1: getting the playbook understanding again, what's what's asked of certain concepts,

104
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 1: of certain formations, those things you know, Agaven, there's a

105
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 1: little care over, but but not a lot. So it's

106
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 1: been a lot of study. Is there one big difference

107
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 1: that stands out or just a lot of things, Just

108
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 1: a lot of things I'm should have changed over the years.

109
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:36,040
Speaker 1: You're a quarter Next, I say, come with your own

110
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 1: last long as you have as you have money. Yeah,

111
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 1: been always amazing understanding. Yeah, well, I mean I've always

112
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,839
Speaker 1: you know, uh, wanted to be a good route runner.

113
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:54,279
Speaker 1: H truly what's gave me longivity to be versatile, to

114
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:58,479
Speaker 1: know more positions than one um But it's it's the

115
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:00,840
Speaker 1: trust factor between the quarterback receiver. I mean, you've got

116
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 1: to understand how he sees the field, where he wants

117
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:06,040
Speaker 1: you to be, and be reliable, you know, be dependent.

118
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 1: Those are those are big qualities as a receiver. That's

119
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 1: how you get the long jivy you know. Obviously health

120
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:15,280
Speaker 1: is part of it, but again being responsive as far

121
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 1: as making plays and cruisial situations, that's that's kind of

122
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 1: which you got deals receiving Eric. You mentioned route running

123
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 1: and you can get older obviously speed he's he's a

124
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 1: white quarter part right, you started feed the key as

125
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 1: to stay in the league as a receiver. Understanding the

126
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 1: mental side of the game as well as I posible

127
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 1: for me. It's a skill you craft. Uh what basically

128
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 1: being good at your craft, and that's that's the skill

129
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:44,360
Speaker 1: of route running. That's understanding coverages, uh, setting up certain routes.

130
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:48,600
Speaker 1: You know, my game is also being physical. Um this

131
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:50,719
Speaker 1: is this is a physical game. So the top of routes,

132
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 1: getting separation physicality is important for me, and then running

133
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,920
Speaker 1: good routes and then concussion the ball. So those are

134
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 1: all things over time you learn is you know, you

135
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 1: might not have the breakaway speed, but you have the

136
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:07,280
Speaker 1: billy and the knowledge not to run routes and in

137
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 1: certain covers
