1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:02,719
Speaker 1: Like, what do you say to a rookie receiver who's

2
00:00:02,720 --> 00:00:05,360
Speaker 1: coming into his first NFL game and probably has a

3
00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:09,160
Speaker 1: lot of expectations on him to be a big part

4
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:12,200
Speaker 1: of this team. I'd say to a rookie guy, the

5
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:14,560
Speaker 1: same thing I'd say to Event and really to the

6
00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:17,280
Speaker 1: entire offense is just you know, do your job, focus

7
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:21,960
Speaker 1: on your responsibilities, communicate, and then you know, play the

8
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:24,119
Speaker 1: game as fast as you can and have fun out there.

9
00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:27,280
Speaker 2: Mike, we've asked you all off season about how Daniel's

10
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:29,960
Speaker 2: progressing on the field. What have you seen for him though,

11
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:32,360
Speaker 2: growth wise as a person and as a leader.

12
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:35,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, every year Dj that I've been with him, do

13
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 1: just's gotten better and better. That's those things that you

14
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:41,560
Speaker 1: just mentioned, you know, being a leader in the locker room,

15
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:44,680
Speaker 1: he's a captain again, and then really taking a great

16
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:48,520
Speaker 1: command of the offense and of that huddle. So DJ

17
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 1: does a really nice jot with that. Each year, he's

18
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:51,199
Speaker 1: just kind of he's kind of grown through that.

19
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 2: Do you see him working with more of an edge

20
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 2: this year that maybe past year's.

21
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 1: He's always had a great work ethic. That's not something

22
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 1: that's ever been that's never going to change with him

23
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 1: from day one, you know, being in that being in

24
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 1: the film room, in the weight room, like those are

25
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:08,959
Speaker 1: things that just like kind of are in his blood.

26
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 1: So the work ethic part of it's really never been

27
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 1: an issue. I'm pro Beard for sure. Pro Viude, you've

28
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 1: got you grown one too. This is not I'll clean

29
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:19,320
Speaker 1: this up.

30
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 3: Products like Daniel's best seasons when you were calling place

31
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 3: in twenty two and two, when you guys went to

32
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 3: the last he led the league in lowest turnover rate.

33
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 4: If you guys are throwing the ball more down the field,

34
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 4: more aggressively, which fits this wide receiver core, can that

35
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:40,480
Speaker 4: continue or with aggression comes the sense that you're going

36
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 4: to turn the ball on there.

37
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 1: That's a good question. I would just say, like, I

38
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 1: think when you're making those decisions downfield, you as an offense,

39
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 1: you want to stay aggressive, number one. But when you're

40
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 1: making those decisions downfield, you have ultimate trust in the

41
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 1: receivers or in the tight ends or running backs, whoever's

42
00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 1: down there to make a play. And then I think

43
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 1: if it's a contested catch er it's a one on

44
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 1: one ball, like you got to have the confidence for

45
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 1: those guys that go make the play. And if it

46
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 1: doesn't happen, then as a receiver. As a as a

47
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:11,800
Speaker 1: receiver downfield, you know you can't let the dB make

48
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:14,239
Speaker 1: a play on it if it is overthrown or under

49
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 1: thrown or something like that. You kind of got to

50
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 1: become a defender. But I don't think you want to

51
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 1: have that in your mind as you're trying to make plays.

52
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:23,920
Speaker 5: Downfield's you enable creating the offense?

53
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:27,360
Speaker 4: How different it's different playmakers.

54
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 5: Different offenses. How different do you think the offense is?

55
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:31,800
Speaker 4: How difference do you think the offense will look pale

56
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 4: compared to that season when you guys had success.

57
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,079
Speaker 1: Yeah, every year you want to continue to grow and

58
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 1: change and develop things. So you know, certainly it'll be

59
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 1: different from last year, just like it was the previous year.

60
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:46,080
Speaker 1: And every every year you're trying to figure out things

61
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 1: to put your players in the best position to be successful.

62
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean each year, each week, it'll be

63
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 1: different based on the defense as we play. But I'm excited.

64
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 1: This week's have been a fun week. Much like the

65
00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 1: Novice side.

66
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,799
Speaker 6: It'll look very different, completely different.

67
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:04,519
Speaker 1: Yeah, again, I think it's just per per that week's

68
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 1: game plan. You know, some things may be better. Maybe

69
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 1: some weeks we want a lot of shifts. Some weeks

70
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 1: we don't. Whether you're playing at home when you can

71
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 1: use cadence, when you're away and you're using the kind

72
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 1: of a silent cadence. So there's a bunch of different

73
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:20,119
Speaker 1: variables that show up into it, and each week will

74
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 1: just be, you know, kind of per that game plan Mike.

75
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 5: Around here, it's been a lot of offensive line boots

76
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 5: and reboots and shuffles and reshuffles.

77
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 1: Something unusually you guys did last this year is your

78
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 1: right side of the line was just important from the rapers.

79
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 1: I mean, what is your trust in those two guys

80
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 1: and maybe how they work together. Yeah, it's been it's

81
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 1: been good to get those guys together, especially this week.

82
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 1: You know, we're now we're in kind of that game

83
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 1: planning mode, you know, and in training camp you're trying

84
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 1: some new stuff. You're trying to figure out and work on,

85
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 1: you know, your identity, who you want to be as

86
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 1: a as a running as a running team, as a

87
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 1: passing team. You're defining roles and all those things. So

88
00:03:57,480 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 1: when you get all five of those guys together and

89
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 1: work together and communicating, I think that's that's a benefit. Right,

90
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 1: There's there's a constant lot of stream of communication and

91
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 1: it certainly works some DJs in the mix as well,

92
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 1: and they all can kind of see it through the

93
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 1: same the same lens. So I think it's it's been

94
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 1: a good camp in that in that aspect. And then

95
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 1: this week as we're working through our game plan, you know,

96
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:21,040
Speaker 1: working all those kinks out, what about specifically those two

97
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 1: guys on the right side, because they didn't need any

98
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:25,280
Speaker 1: introduction to each other, Oh right, I mean, and they

99
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 1: had some familiarity with the offense in in Vegas, so

100
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 1: you know, kind of getting in and really getting caught

101
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 1: up on our terminology. But those guys have been a

102
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 1: great addition, and they're they're veteran guys who play a

103
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 1: lot of football, and uh, we'll certainly lean on those

104
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,479
Speaker 1: guys and with you know, as a as a unit,

105
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 1: you know, to uh to play well on Sunday.

106
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 6: Mike, did you sit down to make a game plan

107
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 6: for a high pressure defense that that's going to bring

108
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 6: the house a lot? Are there any cardinal rules, like

109
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 6: we've got to play fast, we have to Is there

110
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 6: something that you.

111
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 1: Have to do? Yeah? I think, I mean coach Flores

112
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,160
Speaker 1: is a great job. A lot of respect for him.

113
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 1: Not only did they leave the league and cover zero,

114
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 1: they led the league and cover two, they led the

115
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:10,920
Speaker 1: league and drop eight, so you know, prevent coverage, peak coverage,

116
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 1: you call it. They led the league in pressure all

117
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:17,280
Speaker 1: by a large margin. So they they you know, they

118
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 1: use a bunch of multiple looks, multiple fronts, and personnel grouping.

119
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:23,840
Speaker 1: So we got to be prepared for all that, and

120
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 1: so we work through that throughout the week, put together

121
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 1: the best plan we can and and then go out execute. Yeah.

122
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:33,919
Speaker 1: I think the biggest thing will be communication. You know,

123
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 1: when you have a team that does a lot of things,

124
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 1: you want to make sure that we're all on the

125
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 1: same page and seeing it through the same lenes.

126
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 4: When you talk about the communication, does it give you

127
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 4: some comfort even though this offensive line hasn't really been together,

128
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:49,679
Speaker 4: Does it give you some comfort that this is really.

129
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:52,040
Speaker 5: A veteran group in terms of being able to handle

130
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:53,160
Speaker 5: all those different looks.

131
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, it does. It does when you have guys

132
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:58,599
Speaker 1: that have played, you know, even against coach Flores in

133
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 1: the past. I know Vegas played him last year. When

134
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:04,160
Speaker 1: you or you know, a couple of years back even

135
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:07,160
Speaker 1: when he was in Miami. So yeah, having that familiarity,

136
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 1: having those older bets that I've kind of seen it,

137
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 1: seen it a few times for jam Us to be

138
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 1: up there and kind of set the table for us,

139
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 1: it's good to kind of lean on those those guys in.

140
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 5: Their experiences might be Singletary throughout his career has always

141
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 5: been like part of or maybe even the lead in

142
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 5: a rotation like him and Zack Moss or him and

143
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 5: the other guy in Houston. What is your.

144
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 4: Confidence level that he could be like an eighty five

145
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 4: percent snap running back. He's probably starving for it.

146
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know if I would put in like

147
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:38,920
Speaker 1: a number on that, but I think.

148
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:40,839
Speaker 4: What we're used to seeing here, we have an obvious

149
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 4: bell coup.

150
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:43,680
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean I think as the game that kind

151
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 1: of declares itself, and I mean I think it can

152
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 1: go anyway, whether it's run or whether it's past game.

153
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 1: I don't think you want to have one set thing

154
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:53,800
Speaker 1: that you want to do. I think you've got to

155
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 1: be you know, multiple and an attack of defense in

156
00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:58,840
Speaker 1: a bunch of different ways, whether it's a run game

157
00:06:58,920 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 1: or pass game.

158
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 2: Yes, today Devin was sitting with Tyrone and they were

159
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 2: kind of comparing notes when I walked over to talk

160
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 2: to them.

161
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 4: How helpful can that relationship be?

162
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:13,120
Speaker 5: You know, running back who's established obviously versus the one

163
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 5: just getting.

00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 4: His feed wet.

Speaker 1: Yeah, and you have it's a great running back room coach.

166
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 1: Coach Joel Thomas does a great job in there as well.

167
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 1: And when you have veteran guys that want to kind

168
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 1: of give back to the room and share their experiences,

169
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 1: does nothing but help. And so you know, Motor has

170
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 1: done a good job of understanding that and then helping

171
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 1: those young guys because again, the speed of the game

172
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 1: is different than it is in college. So getting those

173
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 1: guys caught up and giving them as much experience is

174
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:41,120
Speaker 1: great
