Speaker 1: fans in the NFL in attendance is in the books

6
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:27,920
Speaker 1: for Here are your takeaways from practice number four of

7
00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:31,480
Speaker 1: the season. Deshaun Watson and the quarterback room in general

8
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:34,320
Speaker 1: continue to build some really good chemistry with the tight

9
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:38,400
Speaker 1: ends today, specifically Harrison Bryant with another great catch in

10
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:41,559
Speaker 1: the first notable team session of camp. Brian had a

11
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:44,920
Speaker 1: big day on Friday and another salad day today. Wide

12
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:49,519
Speaker 1: receiver jackim Grant also continues to impress, especially catching the

13
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 1: ball in the middle of the field. Michael Woods the

14
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 1: Second also had himself a salad day and I know

15
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:58,960
Speaker 1: there's no tackling yet, but Nick Chubb he kind of

16
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 1: looks ready for week now. On the defensive front, linebacker

17
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:05,840
Speaker 1: si Ony Taki Taki made some big plays and Greedy

18
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 1: Williams had himself a nice little pass breakup in a

19
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:12,679
Speaker 1: seven on seven series. Jenevian Clowney batted down to pass

20
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 1: in seven on seven as well, and oh yeah, our

21
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 1: kicker KD York a perfect six for six on field

22
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:22,720
Speaker 1: goals today. It's a beautiful thing to watch Browns fans.

23
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:27,279
Speaker 1: One injury note to report. Unfortunately, undrafted rookie wide receiver

24
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:30,120
Speaker 1: Isaiah Weston had to be carted off the field with

25
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:33,480
Speaker 1: a knee injury. Here's hoping for a speedy recovery for

26
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 1: the young man. Now for more on the Browns first

27
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:40,319
Speaker 1: four practices of the season, I had a chance to

28
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 1: sit down with three times Super Bowl champion and the

29
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 1: new sideline reporter for the University Hospitals Cleveland Brown's radio network,

30
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 1: Gerard Cherry. Here's a great look at both the offense

31
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 1: and the defense through one week of practices. Have a listen.

32
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 1: Gerade Cherry joins us from a fifty ESPN Cleveland, also

33
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:01,279
Speaker 1: a member of the University Hospital Cleveland Browns radio network,

34
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 1: pregame show, preview show, and now sideline commentator on game day.

35
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:09,640
Speaker 1: I appreciate the time, my friend. Day four of training

36
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 1: camp is officially underway, and uh well, it says seventy

37
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 1: nine degrees. It's a little warmer than that, however, Uh

38
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 1: not like when you used to practice when you were

39
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:23,799
Speaker 1: with the Saints or the Patriots. That's for sure. Obviously

40
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 1: they're working their way into PAD practices and that's a

41
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:31,639
Speaker 1: beautiful thing. I joke about it. I kid about it

42
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 1: and said it really it comes out of jealousy, j

43
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 1: and that you don't have to kill people. But there's

44
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:38,360
Speaker 1: something to be said about getting your body ready for

45
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 1: the gauntlet that is an NFL season. So I do

46
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 1: respect that, but I always thought that beating you down

47
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 1: and killing you was not necessary either. So I appreciate

48
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 1: what I'm seeing out here, and also too, when you

49
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 1: have the fans out here as well, it just gives

50
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 1: that extra sense of like, hey, let's go out here

51
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 1: and perform because we've got people watching this, and creates

52
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:58,800
Speaker 1: those competitive juices that you want to see guys go

53
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:00,639
Speaker 1: out and compete, and we're indn't that the day. It's

54
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 1: been a very efficient practice. You don't hear a lot

55
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 1: of yelling and screaming ball, get the job right and rant.

56
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 1: We had one player go down. Hopefully he'll be okay.

57
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 1: But with that being said, it's been a really efficient practice. Yeah,

58
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 1: it has been. It's the first up tempo practice, full

59
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:18,519
Speaker 1: practice here for this football team. Three days of acclamation

60
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 1: and then uh getting the full go today and pads

61
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 1: obviously coming on Tuesday. You mentioned it. You know, there's

62
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:26,520
Speaker 1: not a lot of yelling, there's not a lot of

63
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:28,640
Speaker 1: guys seem to know where they need to be. And

64
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:30,520
Speaker 1: how much of that is a credit to the fact

65
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 1: not only are a lot of the players back, but

66
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 1: this coaching staff returning for a third year. Well, that's

67
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 1: like some point, Jay, because stability is everything. If you

68
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 1: look at the squads that win being the National Football League,

69
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 1: being collegiate ranks or high school or Pop Warner Pewee

70
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 1: Football and Police Athletic League, guess what they have in

71
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 1: coming stability? They have the same system playing year in

72
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 1: a year out. And when you get to that place

73
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 1: where you've been doing something for two or three years,

74
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 1: it becomes second nature to you. But think about in

75
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 1: the past, what was like the past? It was year in,

76
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 1: year out, a different coach, a different call, a different playbook,

77
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 1: to learn, different bourbage and all those type of things.

78
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 1: But when you can just know what you know and

79
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 1: refine that and then build on that and stack more

80
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 1: knowledge on top of that. Okay, well I was in

81
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 1: this position before this occurred, But guess what that in

82
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 1: the cursed maybe I could do this. You start taking

83
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 1: those next steps and building a different type of paradigm

84
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:24,599
Speaker 1: with the play So it's a beautiful thing to have

85
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 1: the same playbook over and over and over again. Now

86
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 1: some people say that it sounds tedious, but if you

87
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:33,280
Speaker 1: know anything about football, it's joy and repetition. All right,

88
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:35,159
Speaker 1: let's go to the offensive side of the football. I

89
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 1: know that the running backs had your eye the first

90
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:41,719
Speaker 1: couple of days. Is they were getting acclimated. Uh thoughts

91
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 1: on that room, It's a it's a deep room, man,

92
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 1: a lot of opportunities, but I don't know how much

93
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:49,920
Speaker 1: playing time, especially in the back end of that room. Yes,

94
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 1: and that's gonna be the hard part for the guys

95
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:53,679
Speaker 1: on the back end because you have so much talent,

96
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:56,599
Speaker 1: obviously with Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt and what they represent.

97
00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:58,719
Speaker 1: But the younger guys are gonna at the spot. And obviously,

98
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:01,479
Speaker 1: Dearnest you you drop him on another squad, he's probably

99
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:04,599
Speaker 1: starting running back, so you gotta take that for what

100
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:07,160
Speaker 1: is worth. But also, j what you do know is

101
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 1: with the group is a sense of camaraderie with him,

102
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 1: where guys appreciate each other. And you would think it'd

103
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 1: be more cutthroat in situations like this, but it's not

104
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 1: the case. That's a sign of good coaching on the

105
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 1: part of their head coaching Stump and what he represents.

106
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:24,479
Speaker 1: And it's also just guys being good dudes and understanding that, hey,

107
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 1: when I get my opportunity, I'm gonna maximize it and

108
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,280
Speaker 1: take advantage of it. But the talent you see it,

109
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:32,360
Speaker 1: it jumps off the charts, even in drills of why

110
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 1: these guys are professional caliber running backs. What else have

111
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:38,560
Speaker 1: you seen that you've liked? Obviously, tough to gather a

112
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 1: lot based on the offensive line because until you get

113
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:43,599
Speaker 1: into paths, there's not a lot to a lot to

114
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:46,039
Speaker 1: go off of. But the tight end room has looked

115
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:48,600
Speaker 1: really good, especially on Friday when you got into seven

116
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 1: on seven drills. Obviously, the quarterback position has been a

117
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 1: little eye opening as well, and that wide wide receiver room.

118
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 1: Albeit the injuries, some guys have made some plays as well.

119
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 1: What your takeaways from the rest of that offense, Well,

120
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:06,279
Speaker 1: start with the quarterback. What do you see Deshaun Watson?

121
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:10,919
Speaker 1: It's I equated to he moves like a feather, float,

122
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 1: like a butterfly's stinging, like a bee. I mean, he

123
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 1: has pinpoint accuracy, has great command. And one of the

124
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:19,599
Speaker 1: things with the quarterback position JA is this idea of

125
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,359
Speaker 1: leadership and what that represents. And when he's in that

126
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:24,360
Speaker 1: huddle and when he's on the football field, you can

127
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:27,040
Speaker 1: see that sense of command that comes along with that.

128
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:28,840
Speaker 1: So I appreciate that about them. But I will say

129
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 1: this up from a receiver standpoint, A rookie stand out

130
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 1: for me, Number twelve Woods, Mike Woods out of Oklahoma. Yeah,

131
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:40,480
Speaker 1: I'm like he keeps for some reason, I'm gravitating to him.

132
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 1: And if and I feel like I know talent when

133
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:43,840
Speaker 1: I see it. So if I'm looking at a guy

134
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 1: and I'm noticing him and he's causing me to gravitate

135
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 1: to him, that's a great sign for him in my mind.

136
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 1: Though obviously he wants the pro personnel in the coaches

137
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 1: to feel the same way as well. But I like

138
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:55,039
Speaker 1: what I've seen out of him so far as well,

139
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 1: and obviously with guys being down, he's gonna get ample

140
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 1: opportunity to prove his worth. Yeah, and he's a guy

141
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:03,720
Speaker 1: that in min camp, you know, as a rookie, just

142
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:06,360
Speaker 1: took to it right away, kind of pick things up

143
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 1: and uh he has shown out and shown out here

144
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 1: in the next few weeks some big opportunities for him. Right.

145
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 1: And every year, the coach once told me this, every

146
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 1: year we have four or five surprises. Pretty much we

147
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 1: know who the roster is gonna be, but every year

148
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 1: there's gonna be four or five guys that's surprising. So

149
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 1: let's switch our attention to the defense, and let's start

150
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 1: with that linebacker room. Through four practices, we talk about

151
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 1: a room that you know has has a lot of potential.

152
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 1: There's a lot of guys in that room that need

153
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 1: to show up and show out. Uh In jail Okay

154
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:42,960
Speaker 1: Taki Taki, Jacob Phillips, Anthony Walker Jr. It's a deep room.

155
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 1: It's a room that's gonna be counted on, especially to

156
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 1: slow down that run when you have the pass rush,

157
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 1: when you have the back end like we do, right,

158
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 1: And I would make the assumption in fund the linebackers

159
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 1: that they're gonna try us first and foremost, because when

160
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 1: you look at what people say from the pronunciication standpoint,

161
00:07:57,840 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 1: they're always told about the linebacker room and the deepense

162
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 1: attack that's right up the middle. And on top of

163
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 1: that being on the size with fast I would make

164
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 1: that same assessment if I was the offensive coordinate as well,

165
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 1: to try these linebackers and see how they handle being

166
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 1: pressured with physical play. And if these guys answer that

167
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 1: call ring the bill and take them back and push

168
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 1: them back and make plays, this defense will be complete.

169
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 1: And obviously the coordination of the defensive tackles and the

170
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 1: linebackers because they're gonna be ones responsible for keeping guys

171
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 1: off of them, has to marry. But that right there,

172
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 1: that center part of the defense jay is where the

173
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 1: inexperienced lies. But if that sure is up, if that's productive,

174
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 1: sky is the limit for this defense because on the

175
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 1: back end, across the board you have playmakers on the front,

176
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 1: on the front of the front. On the front of

177
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 1: the front, you have two bookends in Garrett and Clowney,

178
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 1: and so it's just gonna be a question of what

179
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 1: happens in the middle because if you can get that

180
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:54,840
Speaker 1: sure it up and if that can be dominant. Talk

181
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 1: for about top five, you're talking about being number one

182
00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:00,600
Speaker 1: in the National Football League. Two guys on that defense

183
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 1: that I that I find just to be super impressive,

184
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:07,720
Speaker 1: and two guys that have done a great job that

185
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:09,319
Speaker 1: I think are going to become the leaders of this

186
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 1: defense in the middle of j ok linebacker, and I

187
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:14,960
Speaker 1: think a lot is expected, and so far he's looked

188
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:18,199
Speaker 1: apart Grand Delpit. I mean, everybody forgets he missed his

189
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 1: rookie year. This is only his second year, j Okay,

190
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:24,080
Speaker 1: this is his second year. I mean to two guys

191
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 1: that got snubbed in the draft, fell to the second round,

192
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:30,839
Speaker 1: stole some chips on the shoulder, and really a chance

193
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 1: for both guys to be breakout players here. Certainly both

194
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 1: guys who had issues coming out of couge from a

195
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:38,720
Speaker 1: physical standpoint that caused them to drop in the draft,

196
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:41,320
Speaker 1: in which we the benefactors though that from a talent

197
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:46,640
Speaker 1: acquisition standpoint for sure. But with j Okay specifically the

198
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 1: ability to go sideline and sideline, the ability for him

199
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 1: as a linebacker to be comfortable in coverage, that's going

200
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 1: to open up so many different looks for what Joe

201
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 1: Woods can do from a disguise standpoint and keep offenses guessing.

202
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 1: And then when you have a safety that has covered

203
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 1: skills and ability to lock down in the nickel spot

204
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 1: or the dime spot, that again leaves offensive coordinators guessing

205
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 1: and wondering, Okay, how do we deal with this? Because

206
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 1: typically speaking, these guys willing to dime or nickel. All right,

207
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 1: let's attack them, let's run at them, let's do more.

208
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 1: Fields can play. But with this lineup, you can't necessarily

209
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:22,840
Speaker 1: do that. And that's a beautiful thing because you always

210
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:25,319
Speaker 1: want to keep the offensive coordinator in the quarterback in

211
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:27,680
Speaker 1: a position of confusion to where they don't know what's

212
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:30,320
Speaker 1: coming at you. And that's what's so beautiful about the game, Jay,

213
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 1: is when you get that excess and os component. And

214
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:34,840
Speaker 1: I love this. We're able to talk this type of stuff,

215
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:37,280
Speaker 1: but when you're able to just get to that place

216
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 1: to where what are they doing? I don't know, because

217
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 1: they have so many different dudes who can do more

218
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,679
Speaker 1: than one thing very well, that just opens up your

219
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:46,959
Speaker 1: defense and what you can accomplish. So Man, I'm excited

220
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 1: that you could hopefully tell man and fired up about it.

221
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:53,080
Speaker 1: All right, I'll let you get back to practice here

222
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:57,479
Speaker 1: on this Saturday. But you're we're done with the acclimation.

223
00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:00,680
Speaker 1: We're done acclimating. Great, let's go, let's let's see what

224
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:04,960
Speaker 1: happens here. How important is this week prior to the

225
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 1: first game week of the season, because we know the

226
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 1: schedule changes going into that first preseason game. There's still work,

227
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:14,640
Speaker 1: plenty of work that goes on. But this coming week

228
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 1: is pretty darn important here. They'll be off Sunday, but

229
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 1: practice Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday off Thursday, and then Friday, Saturday,

230
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:24,440
Speaker 1: Sunday and into Monday. Big big week for this football team.

231
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:26,320
Speaker 1: What do you need to see? I just need to

232
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:28,440
Speaker 1: see what I'm seeing today when you get back on

233
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:32,600
Speaker 1: the football field. Coaches not blowing a whistle bringing guys up,

234
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:35,839
Speaker 1: saying this practice is horse, you know what. But guys

235
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 1: are actually putting in the work and you see efficiency

236
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:40,960
Speaker 1: taking place and you're maximizing the time that you have

237
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 1: on the football field and more importantly, when in the classroom,

238
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 1: you're also taking advantage of that as well. So just

239
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 1: making sure that you stay professional throughout the course of

240
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:52,959
Speaker 1: this and just work your way. I don't want to

241
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 1: use the word ease into it, but really make sure

242
00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:59,200
Speaker 1: that you're being efficient and executing. And if you're doing that,

243
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:02,200
Speaker 1: that's all you can do. Because we're still weeks away.

244
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 1: Because heck, once preseason is over with, you can like

245
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:08,079
Speaker 1: a two week break on top of that, So just

246
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:13,839
Speaker 1: take advantage of opportunities to build camaraderie, the further ingrain

247
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:16,439
Speaker 1: what you already know about the offense and defense, build

248
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 1: those bonds, and just understand that you're on a campaign

249
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 1: and you're in this together. So do all you can

250
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 1: to hold God's accountable, to be their best and when

251
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:25,720
Speaker 1: they're on the football field and in the class, when

252
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 1: we're in the weight room, that they're doing their best.

253
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:31,080
