1
00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:17,520
Speaker 1: How are doing boys, may Man, I'm gonna trying get

2
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:24,400
Speaker 1: extra pretty. Can you talk? I guess uh, yesterday Karence

3
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:28,600
Speaker 1: Williams issues with the Christal Police where we's all can

4
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:31,880
Speaker 1: you talk characterized the conversations you've had with him after

5
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:35,080
Speaker 1: that episode and just how he's responded since then. Yeah,

6
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:37,440
Speaker 1: I don't want to go into any details really about

7
00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:41,760
Speaker 1: that situation or about those conversations. Obviously he's out here,

8
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 1: he's doing a good job for us. That's behind him.

9
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:46,960
Speaker 1: He's off to a good starting training camp. Excited to

10
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:50,520
Speaker 1: have him back. He handled that along with coming back

11
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:53,560
Speaker 1: off of the injury, didn't have him out that much well.

12
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 1: He was a little bit removed from our team because

13
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 1: of the injury this off season, but he worked hard

14
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:01,360
Speaker 1: with our with our rehab guys, with our strength coaches

15
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 1: to get himself right. And I do think he's off

16
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:06,039
Speaker 1: to a good start. We're gonna be very deliberate with

17
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:09,039
Speaker 1: him early on here in camp, but he's already crossed

18
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:13,040
Speaker 1: some hurdles where he can practice fully and he's been

19
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:14,760
Speaker 1: out there making some plays, so he's off to a

20
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:17,760
Speaker 1: good start. You have a plan yet on when he'll

21
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:20,840
Speaker 1: be able to go with back to back practices, not

22
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:23,480
Speaker 1: really again taking his situation day by day like a

23
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 1: lot of guys. But I've been encouraged by his ability

24
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 1: to run consistently throughout practice and his ability to make

25
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 1: some plays in the eleven on eleven situations. Fraser or

26
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 1: where he again day by day. We should find out

27
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 1: more here in the next couple of days. He's become

28
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 1: a concerned about this. Yeah, I don't want to get

29
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 1: into the thoughts about what our doctors are telling us.

30
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 1: But again, well we'll find out more based on the

31
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 1: tests they've done. But he's doing everything we're asking him

32
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 1: to do it. He's just not on the field yet.

33
00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:00,120
Speaker 1: With Gallup, we've seen a really good day in and

34
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 1: a not so good day. Is that just life as

35
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 1: a rookie receiver. Is he have to learn more things,

36
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 1: more spots than what he had maybe in college. Well,

37
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:10,640
Speaker 1: I think that's probably the nature of being a rookie

38
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 1: in the NFL. You'll have good days and bad days,

39
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:15,240
Speaker 1: and you'll have some good within days and then some

40
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 1: bad within days. And as they go and as they

41
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 1: learn more and they get more experience, hopefully they learn

42
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 1: from those situations and you start seeing more of what

43
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 1: their best is on a consistent basis, and that's something

44
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:30,920
Speaker 1: you really try to preach as a coaching staff to

45
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:34,080
Speaker 1: your players, all your players, but I think the rookies

46
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 1: and the young guys probably need to learn that more

47
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 1: than anybody. So he has flashed, he has done some

48
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 1: good things. He has had some big competitive catches so

49
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:46,640
Speaker 1: far in training camp. But there's certainly a lot for

50
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 1: him to work on. But he is going about the

51
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 1: right way. I would you assess your back up offensive

52
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 1: lineman and how they look at the first five to

53
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:58,240
Speaker 1: six days a camp back up offensive lineman, I think

54
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:01,640
Speaker 1: they're doing fine. A lot of different guys working with that.

55
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 1: With that second group, sometimes you'll see those number two's

56
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:09,240
Speaker 1: in with the ones. One of the exciting things about

57
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:11,240
Speaker 1: this part of camp is that you get to see

58
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 1: a lot of guys. We really try to be disciplined

59
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:16,519
Speaker 1: and making sure that the twos and threes get a

60
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 1: lot of work, and you've seen a lot of different

61
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 1: combinations and it's exciting to see those guys get better.

62
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 1: To that point, you'all have occasionally flopped cam Fleming with

63
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 1: Tyrant Smith with the ones? Is that more about keeping

64
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 1: Tyrant fresh or giving Cam work with the ones or

65
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 1: somewhere in between. I think that's all driven by where

66
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 1: Tyring is, what his status is. You know, whether he's

67
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 1: taken a day off of practice or whether we're limiting

68
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 1: his reps in practice. You know, Cam's the next guy

69
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 1: right now, and he's getting those opportunities. And you know,

70
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 1: he's been a starting tackle in this league. He's been

71
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 1: a swing tackle, and we got to make sure he

72
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 1: gets work on both sides, chas Greene gets work on

73
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 1: both sides, and they'll work with the ones and twos

74
00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 1: as we go east on. You know Tyrants experienced the

75
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 1: last two seasons missing games. Do you put value on

76
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 1: getting his potential backups work with the first team line?

77
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 1: Is that something that y'all think about again, I think

78
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 1: it's going to happen, just based on what his schedule is. Um.

79
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:16,480
Speaker 1: You know, you want you want the units to be strong,

80
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:19,159
Speaker 1: you want the ones taking all their reps together, but

81
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:22,719
Speaker 1: that's not realistic really at any position. So it provides

82
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 1: an opportunity for other guys to show what they can do.

83
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:27,479
Speaker 1: It's always interesting to see the threes work with the

84
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 1: twos and the twos work with the ones. Sometimes you

85
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 1: like a guy working with a certain group and then

86
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:36,039
Speaker 1: you like him less when he gets a chance to

87
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 1: go with maybe more experienced or players who who are

88
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:42,280
Speaker 1: at a higher level. And uh, and then sometimes you're

89
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:44,600
Speaker 1: pleasantly surprised, you like what they do, and all of

90
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 1: a sudden that gives a little more confidence in them.

91
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:48,680
Speaker 1: So we'll try to create those situations throughout our team.

92
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 1: Cam's done a nice job so farin they we're talking

93
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:55,599
Speaker 1: about h being a bad but he's been most of

94
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 1: the time with receivers here Restimer doubt you can you

95
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 1: do something by kens and goes. Yeah. What we like

96
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 1: about Tavon is his versatility and you can call him

97
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 1: whatever you want to call him. Uh. We like his

98
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 1: ability to line up in different spots and do different

99
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 1: things for us. He's obviously very quick, he's very fast.

100
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 1: He's good with the ball in his hands. So uh,

101
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 1: you know, as we get going here in training camp

102
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:21,679
Speaker 1: will continue to work on different things and different ways

103
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 1: to get him the ball. And we're comfortable lining him

104
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 1: up as a receiver outside or inside and certainly in

105
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 1: the backfield as well. He's done all those things side

106
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 1: fast I can do down to do. Obviously, they've done

107
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:40,599
Speaker 1: a great job with him. He's had a huge impact.

108
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:42,360
Speaker 1: And these kinds of players have been in football for

109
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 1: a long long time. Guys who can line up in

110
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:46,839
Speaker 1: different spots, and you know, all players, they have different

111
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:49,839
Speaker 1: skill sets and typically the guys who might be a

112
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 1: little bit smaller, uh, you know, have something else that

113
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:56,040
Speaker 1: that they bring to the table, whether it's quickness or

114
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:59,120
Speaker 1: speed or just playmaking ability. And Tavon has that. My

115
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:01,360
Speaker 1: old high school code, Fred Hyland used to say, when

116
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:03,279
Speaker 1: they get off the bus, don't look at the big guys.

117
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 1: The big guys are playing because they're big. Look at

118
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:08,360
Speaker 1: the little guys. The little guys are playing because they're good. Right,

119
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 1: So we have a we have a few little guys

120
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 1: on our team. We're pretty good. And I think a

121
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:14,159
Speaker 1: lot of teams around in the league have those guys too.

122
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 1: So Tavan's a guy that we're excited about. He has

123
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:18,480
Speaker 1: some versatility and we'll see how we're going to use

124
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 1: him as we go. When you sat down and looked

125
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:22,359
Speaker 1: at the film last night and you were watching the

126
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 1: one on one pass rush and you saw the Marcus

127
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 1: Lawrence take a rep with each one of the starting

128
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 1: offensive lineman, anything, you're like, what's he doing. Did you

129
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 1: kind of think, oh, that's just what he is. He's

130
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:37,360
Speaker 1: just trying to kind of get his guys go in

131
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:40,360
Speaker 1: or I thought it was good. You know, I've seen

132
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 1: versions of that through the years. DeMarcus obviously was one

133
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:45,039
Speaker 1: of our leaders up front on the defensive line. He

134
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 1: loves the ball, He works very hard at it. He

135
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:50,039
Speaker 1: loves to rush the passer, and he just wanted to

136
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 1: get in those those situations. The other guys got their

137
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:55,159
Speaker 1: work as that drill went on, But I think he

138
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 1: was trying to make a point maybe to himself and

139
00:06:57,440 --> 00:06:59,280
Speaker 1: to the rest of the guys, and it was it

140
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:01,600
Speaker 1: was it was co editive. It was good. I think

141
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 1: we benefited from that. They said, are there any areas

142
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 1: of special teams come from last year? They you want

143
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 1: to see improvement, you know, really all areas as you know, uh,

144
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 1: you know, we talked about it the other day, just

145
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 1: the importance and special teams of you know, not giving

146
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 1: up any bad plays. I mean, that's always something more

147
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 1: emphasizing in all phases and then and then making some

148
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 1: impact plays. We were able to make some impact plays

149
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:30,200
Speaker 1: in a couple of different phases last year, whether it's

150
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 1: a fake pond or blocking a kick or those kinds

151
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 1: of things returning a kick. You want to build on

152
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 1: those kinds of plays. You want to tip the balance

153
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 1: on special teams. So we'll have a new compliment of guys,

154
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 1: some guys on this team who'll be core special teams

155
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 1: guys for us. We're with us in the past, some

156
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 1: guys you know, weren't with us, and so they're learning

157
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 1: and understanding how we want to do things. But you know,

158
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 1: as we all know, special teams can make such a

159
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 1: difference each week, so you want to minimize the bad

160
00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 1: ones and make a couple difference making plays. So we

161
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 1: try to emphasize that to our guys. A new defensive line.

162
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 1: He had a bunch of guys out. You Actually, we'll

163
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:07,680
Speaker 1: we'll tyrone and tapering as like that, and Taco be

164
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 1: back today or if and if not? Is that? How

165
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:12,560
Speaker 1: does that stress you? In practice? You have to alter

166
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 1: your routine and what you would normally do. Yeah, we

167
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 1: anticipate those guys hopefully being back at least in a

168
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 1: limited fashion so they can get some work in. We'll

169
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 1: see how they feel after this morning going into this afternoon.

170
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 1: We'll communicate that as we go. But again, any time

171
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 1: a players out, it provides another play with an opportunity.

172
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 1: And you know, we're not at a point where we're

173
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 1: so thin in the ranks. You know, if a guy

174
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:37,439
Speaker 1: from the second group has a chance to go with

175
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 1: the first group, boy, that's a great chance for him

176
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 1: to show where he is. So we'll keep trying to

177
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:44,079
Speaker 1: emphasize that to our guys, and I think they're embracing

178
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 1: those situations. What does you like about Jeffie, Oh, there's

179
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 1: so much to like about him. You know, he's a

180
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 1: great example to me of a guy who just earned

181
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:58,840
Speaker 1: his stripes at every turn. Was not someone who organizationally

182
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 1: we thought was going to be a star necessarily when

183
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 1: we signed him as a college free agent, but he's

184
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 1: one of those guys when he came in here, he

185
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 1: just started to show up every day on the practice field.

186
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 1: And you know, one of my memories is him just

187
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 1: really showing up in that Hall of Fame game that

188
00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:15,840
Speaker 1: we played up in Canton a few years back when

189
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 1: he was a rookie, fastest guy down, always around the ball.

190
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 1: And you know, he's a great example because you can

191
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:25,840
Speaker 1: use him, you know, with new guys you have on

192
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 1: your team to say, hey, we're gonna give you a chance,

193
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:30,880
Speaker 1: take advantage of it. You'll get more opportunities. And you know,

194
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:33,200
Speaker 1: he did that on special teams, and then you know,

195
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:35,960
Speaker 1: we gave him some chances on defense around the line

196
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 1: of scrimmage. Hey, he can't do this, he can't do that,

197
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:40,839
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, every time he was out there,

198
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 1: he did something positive for our team, whether it's making

199
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:45,839
Speaker 1: a tackle or punching a ball out and intercepting a pass.

200
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 1: So at every turn he take, he's prepared and ready

201
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 1: for his chances, and he takes advantage of him. So

202
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 1: again a great example. I just think he's a good

203
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 1: football player, very good teams playing, a good safety for us,

204
00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:58,680
Speaker 1: and a really good leader for our team as well.

205
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 1: Aaron Jones kind of in a transition with physicians, stay late,

206
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 1: working with younger guys, this kind of attorney point season

207
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 1: for him, you know, but Byron just has always gone

208
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:13,480
Speaker 1: about it the right way. It's one of the things

209
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 1: we liked about him. A productive guy in college. But

210
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:19,319
Speaker 1: you know, just just who he is has a lot

211
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:20,840
Speaker 1: to do with the kind of player he is and

212
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:23,319
Speaker 1: why we like him so much. And he's a very

213
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 1: conscientious guy. He works very hard to get himself in shape.

214
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 1: He's very team oriented. He interacts with the guys well,

215
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:31,720
Speaker 1: he helps the younger guys. It is a little bit

216
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:34,320
Speaker 1: different for him because he's truly playing corner now, but

217
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 1: he's had experience doing that in the past and he's

218
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 1: embracing it. He's embracing the coaching and he's really he's

219
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:41,480
Speaker 1: really off to a good start. He's made a lot

220
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 1: of plays so far, and I think he's getting more

221
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 1: and more comfortable doing what we're asking him to do.

222
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 1: How different is that lohand technique that Ball teaches compared

223
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:51,439
Speaker 1: to what you guys have had the fast and maybe

224
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:54,599
Speaker 1: other guys across the league. It's just from talking to

225
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:57,600
Speaker 1: people said, it's really something different than wouldn't you guys

226
00:10:57,600 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 1: have done. Yeah, I don't want to go into great

227
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 1: detail about that, but I do think Paul has as

228
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:05,440
Speaker 1: a lot of experience as a coach, and you know,

229
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:08,200
Speaker 1: some of the things he teaches in terms of our

230
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:11,560
Speaker 1: past protection technique I think will benefit us. Again, guys

231
00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:15,960
Speaker 1: have been receptive to it, and I just think you know,

232
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 1: when you see guys improved before your eyes doing something,

233
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:22,079
Speaker 1: you can tell how much. They're embracing it, and we'll

234
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:25,320
Speaker 1: keep trying to put them in competitive situations. But I

235
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 1: do think that's whether it's a past protection technique or

236
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:30,440
Speaker 1: some of the things we're doing with a run blocking

237
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 1: I think it's going to benefit us. Again, the guys

238
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 1: have embraced it. How did you evaluate all the red

239
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 1: Stone work against protection? All? It was good, thought it

240
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 1: was competitive. You know, we had a couple of different kinds.

241
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 1: We had seven on seven where it was scripted, the

242
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 1: results of the play was irrelevant to where the ball

243
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 1: was going to go next. And then we had a

244
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 1: couple of situations where to put the ball down and

245
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 1: we just played and we had a couple of good drives.

246
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:53,840
Speaker 1: The offense moved it, they bogged down when they got

247
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 1: in close. Maybe a little unfair to them because we

248
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 1: don't really have much goal line type stuff in right now.

249
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,960
Speaker 1: All we just we're kind of using the inventory that

250
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 1: we have in up to this point. But I thought

251
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 1: that was a good competitive situation with the ones, and

252
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:09,559
Speaker 1: the same thing with the twos. So that work is

253
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 1: invaluable when you put the guys the offense over there

254
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:13,840
Speaker 1: and the defense over there, and you put a ball

255
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 1: down and your play. That's as close as we're going

256
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 1: to get to game like situations. The players don't know

257
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:23,120
Speaker 1: the calls coming in. They have to respond to it,

258
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:25,040
Speaker 1: they have to execute it, they have to deal with

259
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:27,679
Speaker 1: the different situations. Those are all very positive things for us.

260
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:30,440
Speaker 1: Do you think Joe Thomas about his tackle a Zeke?

261
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 1: We all probably just had the same reaction. Don't tackle

262
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:39,480
Speaker 1: him second and six from the six, you know, you

263
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:41,600
Speaker 1: just go to the next one. That's part of it

264
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 1: gets competitive. We obviously don't want that. We don't want

265
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:46,560
Speaker 1: guys being tackled on the practice field, but sometimes those

266
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:49,200
Speaker 1: things happen. I think everybody understands. Do you think about

267
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:52,559
Speaker 1: how Ezekiel Elliott, particularly during those drills, handle himself and

268
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:55,960
Speaker 1: random all? Yeah, Zeke's off to a really good start

269
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:58,160
Speaker 1: in camp. He's working hard, he's very serious minded, and

270
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 1: I thought he had thought he had a good practice yesterday.

271
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 1: He showed up in that red zone period both as

272
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 1: a runner and as a receiver, and uh, we'll keep

273
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:09,680
Speaker 1: giving him opportunities, but he's going about the right ways.

274
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:14,839
Speaker 1: Off to a good start. All right. Good to see you, guys.

275
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:17,960
Speaker 1: It's rich dal Rupple's birthday today. See have your birthday
