1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,560
Speaker 1: Where's everything at with Daniel uh Is? You know you

2
00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:06,680
Speaker 1: had mentioned kind of left open the possibly maybe by

3
00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:10,000
Speaker 1: the mini camp next week he would be out there

4
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:11,680
Speaker 1: in eleven eleven and you have anything on that.

5
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:14,480
Speaker 2: No, he's still he's still making progress. He'll be he'll

6
00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:17,160
Speaker 2: be in seven on seven today. That's kind of been

7
00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:20,720
Speaker 2: the plan all along. We'll reassess after this week. But

8
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:22,360
Speaker 2: he's he's coming along, making progress.

9
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:24,920
Speaker 3: You think Evan Neil take any eleven on all of them?

10
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:30,160
Speaker 2: Not sure, not sure yet. So if he can, he will,

11
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:32,040
Speaker 2: and if you can't, obviously you won't.

12
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:36,159
Speaker 1: Have you seen anything different from Jalen High, you know

13
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:39,120
Speaker 1: coming in you two in what ways? Sure?

14
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:43,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a lot to learn as a rookie. So

15
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:46,599
Speaker 2: he's you know, he's trying to pick up how we

16
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:49,960
Speaker 2: do things here the playbook. I'd say this off season

17
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 2: in terms of breaking the huddle, getting aligned, knowing what

18
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 2: to do, I think he's made a tremendous improvement in

19
00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 2: that area. You could tell he's been in the system

20
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 2: for for a year. He's playing with some confidence in

21
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:05,960
Speaker 2: terms of the pre snap stuff, which allows him to

22
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 2: play faster post snap.

23
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 1: So he's he's done a good job.

24
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 2: He's improved, you know, from year one to year two,

25
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:12,679
Speaker 2: he's he's really done a good job here, I'd say,

26
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 2: in these OTAs of improving each day, I'm pleased with

27
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:16,959
Speaker 2: where he's at.

28
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:20,120
Speaker 3: Was his rookie year, would you say, you know the

29
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:23,759
Speaker 3: way he adjusted normal, well, like a little lesson, you.

30
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 1: Know, or a little more Yeah, yeah, no, No, They're

31
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:27,199
Speaker 1: all different.

32
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:29,760
Speaker 2: Every every player is different. You know, I've had some

33
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:32,839
Speaker 2: young let's just talk about receivers. I've had some young receivers.

34
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 2: You know, Dion Branch comes to mind, back at New England,

35
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:37,840
Speaker 2: the second round pick out of Louisville, who you know,

36
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:39,960
Speaker 2: he was probably one of the fastest guys of picking

37
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 2: up you know, i'd say a tougher system. And then

38
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 2: I've had some other guys that it's taken, you know,

39
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 2: takes almost a year to kind of really feel comfortable.

40
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 1: Jalen's done a good job.

41
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 2: He meets extra coach Grow does a great job with him.

42
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 2: Those guys are are constantly meeting. I think that's really

43
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 2: helped him leading into this year. He still does that

44
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 2: in fact with with Mike. So he's he's made progress. Uh,

45
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 2: he's done a good job in OTA's. I think he's

46
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 2: improved and and happy with where he's at.

47
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 1: Those are one on ones. He's one on ones. Yeah,

48
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 1: sometimes there's he's just in there.

49
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 2: There's sometimes there's a couple other guys in there as well,

50
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:14,239
Speaker 2: But he spends a lot of time at it, works

51
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:14,920
Speaker 2: really hard at it.

52
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:19,119
Speaker 3: Expect to have a definsitive word on Davis.

53
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:21,680
Speaker 2: At some point, at some point right now, there's no

54
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 2: change to to the last couple of times I've talked.

55
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:25,519
Speaker 1: To you guys. It's in the same spot.

56
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 2: I guess a story as the campus sort of the

57
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 2: next Yeah what what what I said earlier is.

58
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:33,800
Speaker 1: Well, give him his time and you know when he

59
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:35,919
Speaker 1: makes his decisions, he makes his decision. When's the last

60
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 1: time you talked to him.

61
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 2: I've communicated with with Darren throughout the uh say off season?

62
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 1: Uh, mostly via mostly via text. Yep. Have you seen

63
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 1: his videos?

64
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:47,399
Speaker 2: Uh?

65
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:47,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, I have.

66
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:54,080
Speaker 3: He's he's uh so many good receivers in this league

67
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:56,960
Speaker 3: now that I don't know if any team can get

68
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,520
Speaker 3: away with not having a number one cornerback. You guys

69
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:03,399
Speaker 3: didn't make a big move at corner this offseason, which

70
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:05,639
Speaker 3: I take as a vote of confidence in Deontay Banks

71
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 3: can he is he ready to step up and take

72
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 3: the take on the number one receivers in this league.

73
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:11,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, obviously he played a lot for us last year.

74
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:15,080
Speaker 2: We liked him coming out of the University of Maryland.

75
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:17,360
Speaker 2: I think he's another guy like Hyae in terms of

76
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 2: the more he plays, more comfortable he's gotten. Uh, you know,

77
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 2: he's playing some different things here with with uh with

78
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 2: our new defense, but he's he's done a really good job,

79
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:28,679
Speaker 2: I'd say throughout these OTAs as well.

80
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:31,639
Speaker 1: Dave's still talk about your running back room. Obviously it's

81
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,240
Speaker 1: a new You got two young guys, Devon or Obvious,

82
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 1: he's see one all on the Yeah, how's that shaping

83
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 1: go for you?

84
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 3: Or what do you like about these guys?

85
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 1: Well, I've had familiarity with with Devin. Devin's been a.

86
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 2: Productive back you know when he was with me at Buffalo,

87
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 2: did a good job at Houston. Has some good leadership

88
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 2: traits about him. You know, he's been in the league

89
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 2: for for a little bit here. Uh, he knows our

90
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 2: system inside and out, even though he was at Houston

91
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 2: for the one year.

92
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 1: But he's he's very comfortable with.

93
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 2: With how we do things and Uh, he's done a

94
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 2: good job leading that room with some younger guys in there. WI,

95
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 2: it'll be Gray and Tracy, and you know, Tracy's been

96
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 2: he's been a good I wouldn't say surprise later on

97
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 2: draft pick. He's done a really good job in this

98
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 2: camp of picking up the information pretty quickly. Joel Thomas's

99
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:17,719
Speaker 2: has really done a good job with him. The rookies

100
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 2: meet extra so I'm encouraged by the group. So we

101
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:23,480
Speaker 2: get the pads on and they're you know, taking shots

102
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 2: and let's pick up and things like that. But up

103
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 2: to this point, they're doing everything they can do to

104
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 2: be as good as they can.

105
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 3: Ves Devin has that personality where he shares with rookies.

106
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 1: He will take him on those one. Yeah. I think

107
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 1: he's had some good mentors too in his career.

108
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:39,839
Speaker 2: But he's I wouldn't say motors overly vocal, but he's

109
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 2: very smart, cerebral player, understands again how we do things,

110
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 2: very good in terms of assignments.

111
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 1: So I think that helps.

112
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 2: I think that helps the younger players, and it helps

113
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:51,800
Speaker 2: coach Thomas too.

114
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:54,479
Speaker 1: Dave, how much would you go into an offseason and

115
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 1: then you go into a.

116
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 3: New season and there's always so much talk about how

117
00:04:57,680 --> 00:04:58,600
Speaker 3: are you gonna fix.

118
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:00,120
Speaker 1: A player, how you can get a player up at a

119
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:00,919
Speaker 1: certain level.

120
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 3: I is it almost ah a lost art to be

121
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:06,800
Speaker 3: able to go in and take your what you would

122
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:09,160
Speaker 3: consider good players and be able to.

123
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:11,920
Speaker 1: Identify things that can take them from good to maybe

124
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 1: the next level that they.

125
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 2: Can No, we spend a lot of time on that

126
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 2: post right at the end of the season, of of

127
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:18,599
Speaker 2: our evaluations.

128
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:20,039
Speaker 1: That's one of the most important things we can do

129
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 1: is to evaluate our players and and just use Dexter

130
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 1: for example.

131
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 2: You know, Drey Patterson has has done a great job

132
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 2: with him along with Brian.

133
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 1: Cox of of taken things.

134
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 2: That's what you try to do as a coach, no

135
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 2: matter who your coaching is, try to help.

136
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 1: Improve your players.

137
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 2: Uh, whether it be by a technique, uh, whether it

138
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:39,039
Speaker 2: be a scheme.

139
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 1: So I mean that's that's the job of a coach.

140
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 2: And regardless of the talent of the player or or

141
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 2: where they rank or anything like that. Uh, that's our

142
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 2: job to to evaluate him and then ultimately try to

143
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 2: help him be as good as he can be.

144
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 1: As h has Tyler new been taken a lot of

145
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:57,280
Speaker 1: snaps with the ones that we haven't seen.

146
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'd say we've You know, this is OTA's with ones, twos, threes,

147
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 2: there's a lot of people mixing in there.

148
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:05,160
Speaker 1: Newman's taking snaps.

149
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 2: I'd say probably with all of them. He's another another

150
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:15,159
Speaker 2: really smart player. I think the scouting staff did a

151
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:18,479
Speaker 2: great job, along with Jerome and Trier, of evaluating that

152
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 2: you know you watch him if you watch him over

153
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 2: in individuals. A lot of times people are going through

154
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:24,839
Speaker 2: it and he's over there to the side before he

155
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:27,560
Speaker 2: gets his rep, doing the exact same thing as is Pinnock.

156
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:30,479
Speaker 2: He asked a lot of questions, very attentive.

157
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 1: I'm glad we have.

158
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:36,320

00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 2: we give him some more reps. But we're switching, you know,

194
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 2: That's what this time of year is for relative to

195

Speaker 2: give him as much as they can handle, move them around,

196
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:16,600
