1
00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:08,160
Speaker 1: What's going on? I was, uh, I was holding lucky Chris.

2
00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:11,879
Speaker 1: Chris looks like Chris always now he's good. Man's good.

3
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:13,920
Speaker 1: Having back out on football field, it takes a little

4
00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:19,880
Speaker 1: hiatus to go play the cross good having back out

5
00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:25,439
Speaker 1: just attacks. How do you kind of make sus not

6
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:29,040
Speaker 1: the attention to all I can. I think the main

7
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:31,320
Speaker 1: thing is understanding how they want to use their guys.

8
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:33,600
Speaker 1: UM kind of look at them as individual chess pieces.

9
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:35,920
Speaker 1: Certain guys can only do certain things within their offense.

10
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:38,239
Speaker 1: So you try to realize what they can do and

11
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:40,199
Speaker 1: what they're trying to use them for, and kind of

12
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:44,839
Speaker 1: prepare that way you observed from from j C in

13
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:47,840
Speaker 1: your time with him, you know, and all the sudden, right,

14
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:51,280
Speaker 1: just the maturity of the player just grows. Um. I

15
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:53,000
Speaker 1: think when he when he first got in there was

16
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 1: a lot of things, you know, going around his head.

17
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 1: And I think year by year he's chipped away and

18
00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 1: just developing not only just an athletic player, but his

19
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 1: knowledge the game is definitely improved. You don't have a

20
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 1: bunch of them on defense, but they have someone who

21
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 1: I think it's eleven Fix in his last seventeen games.

22
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:10,560
Speaker 1: Me so much I mean, I think the teams when

23
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:13,520
Speaker 1: they face us, they know, especially like the previous years

24
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:15,920
Speaker 1: you had him, gil Moore, Devin. I mean, guys, they

25
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 1: just knew it was gonna be a struggle. You know.

26
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 1: There does a lot, you know, when offenses are coming in,

27
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:22,320
Speaker 1: you know, getting their game playing together where they want

28
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 1: to attack us. It makes it hard for him eleven

29
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 1: guys to them all and he has definitely I think

30
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 1: the best comparison I say is James White. You know,

31
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 1: a guy like that, you give mini space. Um, they

32
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 1: can make a play, so um, guys like that you

33
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 1: kind of have to key in on them and understand

34
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 1: you can't give them a lot of space. You're playing

35
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 1: defense in the red zone. Obviously, you know the constraints

36
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 1: help you as a defender, but what are your folks,

37
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 1: how do your focuses then change? You know as a

38
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 1: result of that, right, Like we need to look at

39
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 1: this inside the twenty verses when you're at the midfield work,

40
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 1: oh definitely does a vertical compression of the field when

41
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 1: you get down there. But I think the team starts

42
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 1: to do horizontal you know, guys that have space, you know,

43
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 1: said have you know the fifty three yards sideways to

44
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:08,800
Speaker 1: try to use that space, um, create misdirection and misplaces

45
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 1: and kind of shut you out horizontal John, what's has

46
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 1: been like working with Jalen Mills and Jawan? He feels

47
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:19,799
Speaker 1: like those have been two guys that have played a

48
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 1: little bit good. I mean, Jennen is a veteran guy.

49
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:26,640
Speaker 1: You know, he's played a lot of football, so him

50
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 1: coming in kind of was easy. Um, Jowan's growing as

51
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 1: a player as well. So I mean everyone's in that room.

52
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 1: We have confidence and everybody. It's a good, good group

53
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 1: with each interceptions, I think it's places def him. So

54
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 1: see you just knocking chest Mac on his way out

55
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 1: of here? When what have you been observed from him?

56
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 1: Just as he's sort of come in and done a

57
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,640
Speaker 1: lot for a rookie, right, Yeah, I mean it's my cousin.

58
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 1: So he's been you know, pretty good. He's good to

59
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 1: have a good as a family around. But now he's

60
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 1: he's developed. You know, he's taking every step with stride

61
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 1: and you can't you know, you can't ask for anyone

62
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,680
Speaker 1: to do much more. What what have you done to

63
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:11,640
Speaker 1: like sort of you know, earn respect? Right? Because I

64
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 1: think he's everyone comes in right they get like a

65
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:18,080
Speaker 1: blank state and they gotta earn it. Definitely, Oh you know,

66
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:20,639
Speaker 1: I say, it's consistency. You know, he, like I said,

67
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:22,799
Speaker 1: didn't come in arrogant, not not the ham the first

68
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:25,679
Speaker 1: round guy deserved this. It was just humble and work

69
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:28,919
Speaker 1: and everything he's gotten he's worked for so first cousin

70
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 1: or more. I mean people say your brothers and me

71
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 1: saying like first cousins. But um, he's done a good job,

72
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 1: like I said, just coming in every day, putting his

73
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 1: putting his work in and developing. What do you see

74
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 1: it from him at two minutes in practice? Leadership? You

75
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 1: know from a young guy, just having that leadership quality

76
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 1: to command, knowing where to put guys and being able

77
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 1: to move at a good pace. Did he seem comfortable

78
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 1: from the first two practices being in that situation, thinks

79
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 1: to spread out, He's gotta be quick. He certainly seems

80
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 1: like that now. But I thought, I mean just his

81
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 1: natural ability, you know, whether you make mistakes or not mistakes.

82
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 1: I think that's just that leadership of This is how

83
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 1: I wanted. I'm in charge, you know, you're the quarterback,

84
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 1: you run the show, and just just to be able

85
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 1: to have that poise is a big step John. Last

86
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 1: time you guys saw James Watsons a few years ago,

87
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 1: made a big play at the end of the game

88
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:19,839
Speaker 1: that night. How different is he now though as a

89
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 1: quarterback compared to twenty oh definitely. I think, you know,

90
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 1: Coach Paine has done a good job of helping him

91
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 1: correct some of his mistakes. You can see it in

92
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 1: his play. He's um one meticulous and where he throws

93
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 1: the bottom decisions he's made, you know, prior to when

94
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 1: he was you know, in Tampa, he really wasn't you know,

95
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 1: making those decisions kind of going through all his reason

96
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:40,280
Speaker 1: He's definitely doing it a little bit more now. Is

97
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 1: he as aggressive as he was in Tampa? Or is

98
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:46,799
Speaker 1: he raised? But I mean I still say as his aggression,

99
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:48,480
Speaker 1: you know, he he loves to push the ball down

100
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:50,279
Speaker 1: the field. So if they haven't handcuffed him and taking

101
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:51,800
Speaker 1: that away from him, he's still pushed the ball down

102
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:53,480
Speaker 1: the field. Um. And I just think some of his

103
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 1: you know, mistakes that he would have made younger, he

104
00:04:55,760 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 1: doesn't make anymore formations like New Orleans does. How does

105
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:06,159
Speaker 1: that challenge you guys? Uh? Kind of, like I said earlier,

106
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 1: just understanding what guys do. A lot of that is

107
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:10,360
Speaker 1: just I candy with the different formations. You know, they'll

108
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 1: put it tighten slot receiver, um, you know X, and

109
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 1: I'll put them in the same position to do you know,

110
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:18,600
Speaker 1: different things. So it's just knowing who's doing what more

111
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 1: than what it looks like. Uh, he didn't invite me,

112
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 1: so I have to get that. Get the invitation next year.

113
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:34,040
Speaker 1: But UM, good to see it. Appreciate you guys. Go
