1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:02,640
Speaker 1: Hey, Ross, So all right, man, Andrew, how are you

2
00:00:02,680 --> 00:00:05,360
Speaker 1: doing good? Good? Want to ask about Pop?

3
00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:07,560
Speaker 2: Was just asking Troy about his days as the head coach,

4
00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:10,440
Speaker 2: to figure ask you about your days his offensive coordinator

5
00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:13,640
Speaker 2: back in the frontal. I know you're looking at a

6
00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:15,640
Speaker 2: lot of guys back then, but just just for as

7
00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:19,080
Speaker 2: what stood out to you about Popping those days, aside

8
00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:21,440
Speaker 2: from kind of the quickness and things that anyone can

9
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:22,279
Speaker 2: see in to give them play.

10
00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:25,079
Speaker 1: I think the great thing about the Shrine game is

11
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:26,320
Speaker 1: you get a full you kind of.

12
00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:29,680
Speaker 3: Get all access, kind of weak to be around the guys.

13
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:31,720
Speaker 3: So just seeing how he was in a classroom, seeing

14
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:34,519
Speaker 3: his practice habit, seeing how he paid attention to detail

15
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:37,120
Speaker 3: along with all the physical traits that he had, his speed,

16
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:38,919
Speaker 3: his quickness, his ability to get open and.

17
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:39,400
Speaker 1: Catch the ball.

18
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:41,640
Speaker 3: So being around him for a week it kind of

19
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:43,599
Speaker 3: solidified what we saw on tape.

20
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:46,080
Speaker 1: So it was very good evaluation for all of us.

21
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:48,440
Speaker 2: I don't know what you were doing day three of

22
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:50,920
Speaker 2: the draft, but were crossing your fingers at all knowing

23
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:52,920
Speaker 2: that kid that maybe you guys would get him.

24
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 3: I was honestly kind of shocked he was still on

25
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 3: the board, but luckily he fell on our lap and

26
00:00:57,400 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 3: he's in New England, Patriot, and we still had the

27
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 3: opportunity to to you to finish what we started at

28
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 3: the Shrine game and continue to work with him.

29
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:05,919
Speaker 1: Thank you, yeah, thank you.

30
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 4: Expression Sophie Roller, followed by Phil.

31
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:12,279
Speaker 2: Part on the topic of pop.

32
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 1: I was just curious what you've seen from him in

33
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:15,920
Speaker 1: terms of development this season.

34
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 5: I mean, you talked about your surprised he was still

35
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 5: on the board, but excuse me, how has.

36
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 4: He been able to develop a season?

37
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 3: I think that you want to gauge with any rookies,

38
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:28,480
Speaker 3: are they getting better every time they come in a

39
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:30,400
Speaker 3: building and anytime they step on the practice field. I

40
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 3: think he's done just that from coming in as a rookie,

41
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 3: getting thrown in the fire, you know, trying to learn

42
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:38,480
Speaker 3: the offense. We're installing kind of a new system, so

43
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 3: learning the terminologies, learning the routes, learning to get on

44
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 3: the same page with the quarterback. So I just think

45
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 3: every day he's just constantly gotten better. And I would

46
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 3: say that's kind of that's helped his development, and he's

47
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 3: lucky he has some vets in the room.

48
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 1: You know, kb DP Juju.

49
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,640
Speaker 3: Guys who have played you know Hunter, Henry Miciesci, guys

50
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 3: who have played a lot of football in this league,

51
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 3: so he has the ability to learn from them as well.

52
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 4: In next question, Phil Perry hess, how's it going?

53
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 1: It was something how you don't I'm doing well. I

54
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:11,519
Speaker 1: gonna keep it.

55
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 5: I'm in the car, I'm not moving, and I am

56
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,520
Speaker 5: still buckled in. So we're really extra safe here right now.

57
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 5: I know you're worried. I know you're worried. Let's keep

58
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:27,359
Speaker 5: the pop train roll in here, because I'm just sort

59
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 5: of curious, you know. So if he just asked you

60
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:36,119
Speaker 5: about his development, I guess I'm specifically wondering about how

61
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 5: you've seen maybe his confidence developed. I'm I'm assuming as

62
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 5: a young player, you know, when you first set foot

63
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:45,240
Speaker 5: inside the building, there's maybe a little tentativeness. You're you're

64
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:48,360
Speaker 5: learning a new offense, learning the pro game, you're learning

65
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:52,080
Speaker 5: how to be a pro behind the scenes. But where

66
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:54,639
Speaker 5: is he now in terms of his confidence level from

67
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 5: what you've seen maybe versus when he first got to

68
00:02:57,639 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 5: you guys, I.

69
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:01,800
Speaker 3: Would say confident. This confidence comes from a couple of things.

70
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:03,959
Speaker 3: I think it comes from preparation. I think it comes

71
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,520
Speaker 3: from repetition. I also think it comes from a setback.

72
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 3: And I feel like up to this point in Pop's career,

73
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 3: he's prepared. His prepared since he was at Liberty. He

74
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:14,799
Speaker 3: prepared for the Shrine game, played well there, did well

75
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 3: at the Combine, which led to us drafting him. He

76
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 3: did well in the offseason program, so that preparation that

77
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 3: kind of helped him, and through repetition he is able to,

78
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:25,239
Speaker 3: you know, go to joint practices and perform well in

79
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:28,519
Speaker 3: joint practices, perform well in training camp, and then earlier

80
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 3: in the season against Miami when he got punched out

81
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 3: from behind my Bradley Tub, he had a setback.

82
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 1: So I feel like.

83
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 3: All three of those things really combined together has braided

84
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 3: his confidence. And then he got concussed against New Orleans

85
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 3: and then he came back and kind of picked up

86
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 3: where he left off. So I just feel like it's

87
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 3: been a constant process and it's still evolving, you know

88
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 3: what I mean. It's still earlier in the season and

89
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 3: we still have a lot of football left to play,

90
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 3: So I just hope he continued to grow.

91
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:55,120
Speaker 5: And if I could just ask you one more quick

92
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 5: one ross just about how you guys used motion the

93
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 5: other day. How do you think that leverages the skill

94
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 5: sets of the receivers in your room particularly, it looked

95
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 5: like you know, Kendrick, we saw emotion a little bit

96
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 5: and pop as well. Is there something about their physical

97
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 5: skill sets that getting them going in motion really helps

98
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 5: you guys offensively?

99
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 1: Yeah.

100
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 3: I think when you talk about motion, it's all about

101
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 3: how the defense will react and how to align the

102
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 3: certain motions that we do.

103
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 1: So that's on us as a coaching staff.

104
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 3: You know, days like today, days like yesterday, and all

105
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 3: throughout the week, we'd have to evaluate the displacement of

106
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 3: the defense, hard they're going to line up to it,

107
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 3: how they're going to react to it, and does it

108
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 3: put us at an advantage to do it?

109
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:40,159
Speaker 1: Some teams teams.

110
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 3: Communicate really well and they were able to communicate zone

111
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 3: and bump things off. So it might not be as

112
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 3: good for us, but there might be certain teams where

113
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 3: this could really benefit us.

114
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:50,839
Speaker 1: So every week, that's a week the week evaluation.

115
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 3: So by putting those guys in motion, I mean they're athletic,

116
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:57,280
Speaker 3: they could do certain things and there's certain thing and

117
00:04:57,360 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 3: packages of players that they continue to do where when

118
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 3: they go on to move it puts the lion bells

119
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:03,840
Speaker 3: off to the defense. So maybe we can miss direct

120
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 3: them a little bit here or misdirect them a little

121
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 3: bit here, but everything has to be an advantage for us.

122
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 5: Got it, Thanks a lot, Ross.

123
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:14,360
Speaker 4: Thank you, go back to Andrew Kellinghan.

124
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:17,919
Speaker 2: Ross, So a different note with Miami coming up. It

125
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:20,839
Speaker 2: looks like Jalen Ramsey practice last week, hasn't played any

126
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 2: of this season. What does the scouting report look like?

127
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 2: And a guy you haven't seen yet but obviously has

128
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:28,039
Speaker 2: a long career now playing in a newer system.

129
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 1: Hey glean Jentlen's have made man.

130
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:32,839
Speaker 3: I mean, he's played many years in the National Football

131
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 3: League at a very high level, one of the top

132
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,279
Speaker 3: corners in the league. So if he's out there, we

133
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 3: obviously got to be aware of him, know where he's at.

134
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 1: He's getting the run in the past game.

135
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 3: He's one of the top defenders period in the National

136
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 3: Football League, so definitely got to be well aware.

137
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:49,920
Speaker 1: Of wherever he is on the field. Got it? Thanks Man? Yeah,

138
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:50,280
Speaker 1: thank you?

139
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 4: And I see no other questions Ross anything you want

140
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 4: to add now.

141
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 3: I just want to give a quick shout out to

142
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:01,479
Speaker 3: Ruckers Football and coach Greg six and two record right now,

143
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,840
Speaker 3: first time being BOE eligible since twenty fourteen. So I

144
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 3: want to give a big shout out to my alma mater,

145
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 3: very very proud watching them.

146
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 1: Beat Indiana and get the six win last weekend.

147
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 4: We got here. We have a lady that Mike Gilready

148
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 4: has a question.

149
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 1: Ross.

150
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:21,559
Speaker 6: I apologize if you're asked us. I'm trying to bounce

151
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:27,040
Speaker 6: between rooms, but just your your impression of popping his

152
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 6: maturity as a route runner here, especially you know over

153
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:31,719
Speaker 6: the last whatever month or so.

154
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:35,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm gonna say it. I'm gonna joke a little bit.

155
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:37,680
Speaker 3: I mean, he has the Douglas last name, so when

156
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 3: you had that last name, you just tend to get

157
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 3: some things done, you know what I mean. Now, I'm

158
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 3: just playing, But no, he's he really hasn't matured as

159
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:45,720
Speaker 3: a rout runner, not even in the past month, but

160
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:48,479
Speaker 3: really since we drafted him and he stepped foot in

161
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 3: his building back in May. So it's been truly a

162
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 3: blessing to see him. There's been a blessing to work

163
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 3: with him, blessing to see him kind of just developing

164
00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 3: go under the wings of veteran players like Juju, DP Hunter,

165
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 3: Henry Mike Yeski and really just learn what it takes

166
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:05,600
Speaker 3: to be a pro. We's still not where we need

167
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:07,800
Speaker 3: to be at, but he's definitely heading the right direction.

168
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 6: How much can you see him picking up the nuances

169
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 6: of it, because right if you're playing at Liberty, Not

170
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 6: to knock Liberty, but like he's not playing nearly the

171
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 6: same type of athletes and schemes that he's playing now,

172
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 6: so it would seem like little things matter a ton

173
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 6: on this level.

174
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 3: The little things do matter a ton, and I think

175
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 3: he's learning that through experience because there's a couple of players,

176
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 3: like I'll pull out the Bradley Chubb example when he

177
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 3: got punched out from behind, like, yeah, you can make

178
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 3: that cut maybe versus Akron University, but you might not

179
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:39,560
Speaker 3: be able to make that vers to Miami Dolphins because

180
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 3: you've got a big wereworth coming to punch the ball out.

181
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 3: So it's just through experience and through repetition he's continued

182
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 3: to learn.

183
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 1: So with reps, hopefully it continues to get better.

184
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 6: Thanks Ross, I appreciate it.

185
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 4: Thank you, Thank you Ross, Thanks everyone, Thank you
