Uh. You know, we 21 00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:46,440 Speaker 3: we don't have just one focus on the past or Ryan. 22 00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:46,720 Speaker 5: Uh. 23 00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:48,880 Speaker 3: We compliment each other very well, especially with the guys 24 00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:50,839 Speaker 3: that we have in the room and the offense that 25 00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:52,839 Speaker 3: uh that was brought into us. You know, we all 26 00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:55,640 Speaker 3: make things happen. You know, we wanna Ryan for the pass, 27 00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:56,760 Speaker 3: and we wanna pass for the Ryane. 28 00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:56,960 Speaker 1: Uh. 29 00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:59,000 Speaker 3: So things like that. You know that M get this 30 00:00:59,080 --> 00:00:59,560 Speaker 3: offense going. 31 00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:02,880 Speaker 1: Did you have an idea of what Trevor was like 32 00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:04,840 Speaker 1: as a player before you got here, and how is 33 00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:07,760 Speaker 1: that maybe changed after going through camp with him? 34 00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:08,080 Speaker 5: Uh? 35 00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:11,280 Speaker 3: Not necessarily, Uh, I P I played against him before. Uh, 36 00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:13,160 Speaker 3: and it was a long time agoing in college just 37 00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:15,960 Speaker 3: one year, so th that was kind of different because, uh, 38 00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:18,839 Speaker 3: where he came from in Clintland, you know, they was spreading. 39 00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:20,920 Speaker 3: He had some guys around him like t Higgins and 40 00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:23,800 Speaker 3: you know, Justin and all them guys. So I think 41 00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:26,640 Speaker 3: just him being him and learning him as well. You know, 42 00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:29,080 Speaker 3: he's he's a real leader. Uh. He's been real vocal 43 00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:31,880 Speaker 3: and communitive. Uh. You know, he wants us to be 44 00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:33,400 Speaker 3: on the same page, and he tells us what he 45 00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:34,960 Speaker 3: sees and we tell 'em what he what we see 46 00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,440 Speaker 3: as well. So just building that chemistry there and just 47 00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:39,200 Speaker 3: communicating with each other so we can all be on 48 00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:41,200 Speaker 3: the same page. It's it's big for us. 49 00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:44,319 Speaker 1: How comfortable does he seem? Does he seem more comfortable 50 00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:47,520 Speaker 1: now significantly that he did maybe in OTAs when everything 51 00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:49,800 Speaker 1: was new. You know, he's still working on footwork stuff 52 00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:50,400 Speaker 1: and everything too. 53 00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:53,000 Speaker 3: Uh, most definitely, I I think that's that's for everybody. 54 00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,120 Speaker 3: You know, everybody's coming into a new system. We all 55 00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:57,600 Speaker 3: learning at the same time. Uh so it it will 56 00:01:57,640 --> 00:01:59,800 Speaker 3: start off slow just to learn and you know, get 57 00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:02,000 Speaker 3: the dail down. But you know, as as things been 58 00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:04,920 Speaker 3: going on, and we've been getting better, you know, each day, 59 00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:07,280 Speaker 3: and you could tell throughout through the days of camp. 60 00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:09,480 Speaker 3: But even in the preseason, like I, our drivets are 61 00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:11,600 Speaker 3: way better last week than than what it did the 62 00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:14,120 Speaker 3: first time. So you know, we ended up with points 63 00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:15,480 Speaker 3: and it's good for us. 64 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:19,880 Speaker 6: How good can this pass uh catching group be?

You know, 81 00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:46,000 Speaker 3: I I think that that can help us out a 82 00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:48,079 Speaker 3: lot because it we don't have to just pick one 83 00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:49,840 Speaker 3: thing to do. You know, we can go out there 84 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:51,200 Speaker 3: and scheme things up the way we need to. 85 00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:54,280 Speaker 8: You have to get sweep weep money.

You know, just find ways 92 00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:13,440 Speaker 3: to get get the ball. And it's not just meeting 93 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:15,000 Speaker 3: the jet sweep. You know, Josh had got a jet 94 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:16,680 Speaker 3: sweep too as well.

So definitely 349 00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:32,439 Speaker 10: a lot of great people there, and uh yeah a 350 00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:33,920 Speaker 10: lot of people are important to me there. 351 00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:34,360 Speaker 7: For sure. 352 00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:36,160 Speaker 1: You weren't work out of. 353 00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:39,000 Speaker 7: During practice maybe a preseason game. 354 00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:40,200 Speaker 5: For four more. 355 00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:41,680 Speaker 7: I think that that depends. 356 00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:44,199 Speaker 10: I mean, everybody gets something out of the preseason game, 357 00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:46,000 Speaker 10: even if you're you know, you're not playing your starters. 358 00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:49,600 Speaker 10: The younger guys can develop so much just getting those 359 00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:52,600 Speaker 10: game situations and have to having to react in real time. 360 00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:55,720 Speaker 10: Uh you know, whether that's a two minute situation short yard. 361 00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:57,720 Speaker 10: It's like all those things come up and it came 362 00:12:57,800 --> 00:12:59,199 Speaker 10: up a bunch in the game for some of the 363 00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:01,640 Speaker 10: young guys the other day, where those are great teaching 364 00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:05,439 Speaker 10: moments for them they can really develop. But that's kind 365 00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:08,640 Speaker 10: that's a great question, but it depends. I think you 366 00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:10,360 Speaker 10: get a lot. You get a lot out of the 367 00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:12,760 Speaker 10: joint practice because you know, you see obviously you're going 368 00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:15,400 Speaker 10: to see your starters out there competing regardless of anytime 369 00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:17,600 Speaker 10: you go to a joint you're gonna get that, and 370 00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:19,280 Speaker 10: you get an opportunity to develop there too. 371 00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:21,000 Speaker 7: For sure, Lewis had. 372 00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:23,080 Speaker 8: A good career in Dallas. Do you think he's taking 373 00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:24,160 Speaker 8: the next level here with you? 374 00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:28,199 Speaker 10: In your defense, I just I don't necessarily want to 375 00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:29,240 Speaker 10: comment on what he did there. 376 00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:31,040 Speaker 7: I think obviously, like you said, he had a great 377 00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:31,600 Speaker 7: career there. 378 00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:35,040 Speaker 10: But he has been unbelievable for us just from a 379 00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:38,559 Speaker 10: human being, you know standpoint. He's just a great guy, 380 00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:41,120 Speaker 10: brings a great energy in our building every day. He's 381 00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:45,160 Speaker 10: such a competitor and just like a great guy like 382 00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:47,000 Speaker 10: you love being around him. You love coaching him, His 383 00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:50,480 Speaker 10: teammates love being around him. And you know, he's I 384 00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:52,439 Speaker 10: don't know how many years in now, what nine, ten years, 385 00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:54,640 Speaker 10: he's eight years, right whatever. I mean, he's laying out 386 00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:57,640 Speaker 10: in practice, you know, competing on every ball, and that's 387 00:13:57,679 --> 00:13:58,520 Speaker 10: just who he is, you know. 388 00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:00,000 Speaker 7: I mean, he's he's a competitive guy. 389 00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:02,200 Speaker 10: If he was working in an office building, he'd still 390 00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:03,560 Speaker 10: want to be the best guy in there. 391 00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:04,480 Speaker 7: That's just the way it is. 392 00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:08,840 Speaker 10: So I think he's, Yeah, he's kind of the epitome 393 00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:11,880 Speaker 10: of what you're looking for in terms of competitiveness and 394 00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:13,680 Speaker 10: the culture you want to have in your building. 395 00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:17,880 Speaker 2: Does the identity of a defense develop more in the 396 00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:20,840 Speaker 2: regular season or or can you really see what this 397 00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:22,960 Speaker 2: defense can be around this time? 398 00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:25,480 Speaker 7: Yeah? I think I think. 399 00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:28,760 Speaker 10: You know, the NFL season is along and it's been 400 00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:33,560 Speaker 10: my experience that the objective is to continue develop and 401 00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:37,840 Speaker 10: you know, be playing your best. Obviously as the season progresses, 402 00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:41,520 Speaker 10: you know, you want to see development and set your 403 00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:43,520 Speaker 10: culture in place. In the summer, for sure, you can 404 00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:46,240 Speaker 10: develop that develop the standard and the toughness. But to me, 405 00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:48,320 Speaker 10: that's so I'm you're working every day, you know, like 406 00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:50,400 Speaker 10: you gotta work it every day. You got to continue 407 00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:53,120 Speaker 10: to practice tough throughout the season. I was talking to 408 00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:56,480 Speaker 10: somebody about that the other day, somebody in the league, 409 00:14:56,520 --> 00:15:01,000 Speaker 10: And that's important that you constantly practice physical you practice toughness, 410 00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:03,160 Speaker 10: and you put guys in situations where they got to 411 00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:06,320 Speaker 10: compete every day because you know, toughness and culture that's 412 00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:08,480 Speaker 10: got to be cultivated and developed every day. So yeah, 413 00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:10,920 Speaker 10: I think as the season goes, you're just trying to 414 00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:12,760 Speaker 10: build and build and build every day all the way 415 00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:13,640 Speaker 10: up until the last game. 416 00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:18,000 Speaker 5: You do, like safety doing Eric, is that kind of 417 00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:19,080 Speaker 5: settled right now? 418 00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:22,120 Speaker 10: Those guys are still competing, so you know this this 419 00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:24,080 Speaker 10: joint will be great for that for us to see 420 00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:25,800 Speaker 10: some stuff there, and this game will be great for 421 00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:26,440 Speaker 10: us to see some. 422 00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:27,280 Speaker 7: Stuff there hopefully. 423 00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:30,920 Speaker 10: But we feel, like like I said last time, a 424 00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:32,400 Speaker 10: lot of these guys have done a good job. So 425 00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:34,600 Speaker 10: haves done a good job. You know, Antonio has done 426 00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:35,120 Speaker 10: a good job. 427 00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:37,720 Speaker 7: I thought he look, you know, before he got hurt, 428 00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:38,720 Speaker 7: doing a really good job. 429 00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:41,600 Speaker 10: So Rayon showed up a bunch, so he's doing a 430 00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:44,760 Speaker 10: good job as well, developing, And like I said last 431 00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:47,840 Speaker 10: time too, like we're gonna keep the competition live all 432 00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:50,200 Speaker 10: the time, and uh, just got a little bit more 433 00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:50,960 Speaker 10: to see here in camp. 434 00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:51,880 Speaker 8: Yes, how's going. 435 00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:57,200 Speaker 1: I've got a question about like the mechanics. I mean 436 00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:59,800 Speaker 1: I just asked Camp about it. But traps go on 437 00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:02,160 Speaker 1: off and then next drive he's like right out there 438 00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:04,160 Speaker 1: on defense. But you guys are going over stuff and 439 00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:06,760 Speaker 1: changes and things what you've seen and all that other stuff. 440 00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:10,560 Speaker 1: So who has the responsibility of communicating that to Travis 441 00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:13,440 Speaker 1: when he comes back off the field defensively, because there's 442 00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:15,120 Speaker 1: like going to be a condensed amount of time before 443 00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:17,160 Speaker 1: he goes back on the field. Is that like, is 444 00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:19,040 Speaker 1: that what you're going to do or is there like 445 00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:20,200 Speaker 1: the Edgar going. 446 00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:20,480 Speaker 7: To do that? 447 00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:21,560 Speaker 8: Who does that? 448 00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:23,920 Speaker 4: Yeah, typically it'll be Edgar, But we have a really 449 00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:27,320 Speaker 4: strong support system underneath Aggre with Tedlman and John Van 450 00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:28,800 Speaker 4: Dam and some of the rest of the staff. So 451 00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:30,640 Speaker 4: we have a group of guys that'll do it kind 452 00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:32,480 Speaker 4: of by committee, helping him out as much as we can. 453 00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:35,480 Speaker 1: That's a kind of You guys have had the nice 454 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:36,800 Speaker 1: to spend some time. 455 00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:38,560 Speaker 4: It's time to cut this off. 456 00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:41,360 Speaker 1: You guys have had to spend a lot of time 457 00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:43,480 Speaker 1: kind of mapping out the things that you probably took 458 00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:46,080 Speaker 1: for granted, you know what I mean in terms of 459 00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:48,880 Speaker 1: dealing with Travis right the whole time, but because you 460 00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:51,000 Speaker 1: wouldn't have to normally worry about something like that. 461 00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:58,760 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think, I think, I think, I think going 462 00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:00,800 Speaker 4: into it, you knew it was going to be unique challenges. 463 00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:02,040 Speaker 4: So we try to stay ahead of it as much 464 00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:04,119 Speaker 4: as we can. By likely him talking about mapping out 465 00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:06,639 Speaker 4: really every second of today, who he's meeting with, what 466 00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:09,280 Speaker 4: he's doing, trying to make the most of his time here. 467 00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:12,720 Speaker 4: So certainly something we're adjusting as we go, but going 468 00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:14,560 Speaker 4: into it, you know it's going to post some sort 469 00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:15,120 Speaker 4: of challenges. 470 00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:17,960 Speaker 5: William said it yesterday and certainly it's been a talking 471 00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:19,160 Speaker 5: point I think here in town. 472 00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:21,040 Speaker 8: Jonah taking a big leek. 473 00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:22,440 Speaker 5: What does that mean? 474 00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:27,400 Speaker 4: Well, it's it's the added depth on the offensive line, 475 00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:30,760 Speaker 4: which is always huge. You know, you're never, i think 476 00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:33,160 Speaker 4: he said, you're never comfortable with it, but it gives 477 00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:35,160 Speaker 4: you a little bit more sense of security knowing that 478 00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:37,720 Speaker 4: he can fill in the roles inside, whether it's guard 479 00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:40,800 Speaker 4: or center. What he's shown not only from a mental standpoint, 480 00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:42,560 Speaker 4: the physical standpoint has been encouraging. 481 00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:45,879 Speaker 7: You know, run game. 482 00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:47,600 Speaker 1: Whilest year obviously make great strides in Tampa. 483 00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:49,120 Speaker 7: When you see. 484 00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:50,879 Speaker 8: Him install that what stands out about why. 485 00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:54,040 Speaker 4: It can be a successful well, I think it kind 486 00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:56,360 Speaker 4: of starts with the mentality first and foremost, the way 487 00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:58,679 Speaker 4: you approach the run game, committing all eleven, the way 488 00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:00,679 Speaker 4: you're going to practice the run game, you put on 489 00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:03,919 Speaker 4: the techniques, fundamentals in the play style. I think just 490 00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:06,720 Speaker 4: starting with that foundation of how we approach the run 491 00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:09,640 Speaker 4: game lays that groundwork for the rest of the hopeful 492 00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:12,919 Speaker 4: success that we have throughout the year, whatever the scheme is. 493 00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:15,919 Speaker 9: Treverent, Liam, I've both kind of talked about this, but 494 00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:17,560 Speaker 9: how do you feel just the way Trevor's kind of 495 00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:19,560 Speaker 9: seeing things right now? You know, when the live action 496 00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:20,800 Speaker 9: in the preseason games. 497 00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:24,080 Speaker 4: I think he's certainly improved. He's taking steps, and he's 498 00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:26,560 Speaker 4: getting closer and closer. We all know that the work 499 00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:28,840 Speaker 4: is never done, so hopefully that progress continues all the 500 00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:32,000 Speaker 4: way throughout the season. But you certainly see the processing, 501 00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:35,240 Speaker 4: getting the third four to threads progressions and being able 502 00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:37,879 Speaker 4: to distribute the ball across the field, whether it's deep, short, 503 00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:41,920 Speaker 4: outside inside. You know, I think he's made progress in 504 00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:44,159 Speaker 4: all facets. We're throwing a lot at him, so it 505 00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:46,800 Speaker 4: continues to challenge him in some ways. So there's some 506 00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:49,600 Speaker 4: facets of the game where it might look like he's struggling, 507 00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:51,680 Speaker 4: but there's new things that he's still being always asked 508 00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:53,880 Speaker 4: to learn and adapt to for years. 509 00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:55,040 Speaker 9: Of good What kind of value you get out of 510 00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:55,760 Speaker 9: darge practices? 511 00:18:57,160 --> 00:18:59,200 Speaker 4: I think it comes down to the competition. It's great 512 00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:01,399 Speaker 4: for the guys and opportun to compete against somebody else, 513 00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:04,879 Speaker 4: against a different scheme, against different looks, against different pressures, 514 00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:09,880 Speaker 4: and then ultimately get an evaluation on us as an offense. 515 00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:12,360 Speaker 4: You know us as a staff, how well coached we are, 516 00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:14,879 Speaker 4: but the players individually win in their one on one matchups, 517 00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:17,600 Speaker 4: So it's it can be a good benchmark really to 518 00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:19,119 Speaker 4: see how you compete. 519 00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:22,639 Speaker 5: Marker Washington was pretty vocal last year about his ability 520 00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:24,920 Speaker 5: to flex inside and outside. What have you seen from 521 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,280 Speaker 5: him in his attempt to try to play all three 522 00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:30,080 Speaker 5: positions but obviously complete I'll know that the slot is 523 00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:31,879 Speaker 5: where he made his living in college. 524 00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:35,199 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a heavy task, especially in this offense, to 525 00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:37,560 Speaker 4: be able to play all three positions and really line 526 00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:39,399 Speaker 4: up anywhere in the field, especially because of the amount 527 00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:41,919 Speaker 4: of splits and different formations we're going to line up in. 528 00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:44,240 Speaker 4: So not only is it playing inside, but it's inside 529 00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:45,880 Speaker 4: and you're stacked up, but you're inside in a bunch, 530 00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:47,600 Speaker 4: then you're outside in a bunch, then you're outside all 531 00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:50,760 Speaker 4: outside the numbers. So it's a huge range of both 532 00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:54,880 Speaker 4: route tree blocking assignments, different alignments that he has to manage. 533 00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:57,400 Speaker 4: So just the mental aspect of him being able to 534 00:19:57,680 --> 00:19:59,439 Speaker 4: gain the level of mastery to go out there and 535 00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:01,760 Speaker 4: play position one play and then turn around the very 536 00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:04,240 Speaker 4: next position or play and play a totally different position 537 00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:06,600 Speaker 4: and line up in a completely different spot and really 538 00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:09,399 Speaker 4: be asked to express a different skill set on a 539 00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:12,439 Speaker 4: play to play basis. So that's been really impressive. And 540 00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:14,280 Speaker 4: then you see the plays that he makes when he 541 00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:15,760 Speaker 4: gets the opportunity ball thrown his way. 542 00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:19,000 Speaker 5: But you've seen him do both, which is maybe a 543 00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:21,840 Speaker 5: surprise or pleasant surprise we'll call it, from when you 544 00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:23,360 Speaker 5: guys got here and maybe what you thought he could 545 00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:23,640 Speaker 5: have been. 546 00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:25,919 Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know that you call it a surprise 547 00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:28,120 Speaker 4: because you see the flashes of it. It was just ultimately 548 00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:31,120 Speaker 4: building that level of consistency and giving him the opportunity 549 00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:32,680 Speaker 4: to go out there and make those plays, which he's 550 00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:33,480 Speaker 4: taken advantage of. 551 00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:35,560 Speaker 8: Do you see him having a bigger role this season 552 00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:38,040 Speaker 8: compared to the past. I know you haven't been here. 553 00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:39,760 Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know how much I could speak on 554 00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:41,920 Speaker 4: comparative to the past, but I certainly think he'll be 555 00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:44,560 Speaker 4: a really big part of our offense. And like I said, 556 00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:47,040 Speaker 4: the plays that he's making, that flexibility he provides to 557 00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:50,560 Speaker 4: play multiple positions, you know, sets him up for that success. 558 00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:54,480 Speaker 2: What makes him the player him, what makes what makes 559 00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:56,680 Speaker 2: Theamie Brown such a good fit for this offense. 560 00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:00,000 Speaker 4: It kind of goes back to the way he works 561 00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:02,960 Speaker 4: and the way he's tried to embrace his role. He's 562 00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:05,200 Speaker 4: another guy you're asking, dude things that he hasn't done 563 00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:05,720 Speaker 4: in the past. 564 00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:07,920 Speaker 3: Whether it's in the run game, you see. 565 00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:10,200 Speaker 4: Him doing a lot of dirty work blocking and it's 566 00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:13,000 Speaker 4: not always just you know, some deep shots or ball 567 00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:15,640 Speaker 4: in hand type plays. He's got a pretty wide route tree. 568 00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:18,639 Speaker 4: So it's that balance and that flexibility that he provides. 569 00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:21,359 Speaker 4: Even though he's not playing multiple positions like Parker is, 570 00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:23,840 Speaker 4: he's still asked to do a lot of different things 571 00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:27,000 Speaker 4: that helps us stay balanced. As an offense and gives 572 00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:28,879 Speaker 4: him opportunities in the past game, because you know, the 573 00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:31,520 Speaker 4: more we can be a legitimate run threat with him 574 00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:33,399 Speaker 4: in the game and in different alignments and positions, the 575 00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:34,920 Speaker 4: more opportunities he'll have in the pass game. 576 00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:37,679 Speaker 2: The more you've seen him throughout the summer, has that 577 00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:41,240 Speaker 2: changed maybe how you guys envisioned his role being back 578 00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:43,920 Speaker 2: in February maybe or back in March when you sign him. 579 00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:45,920 Speaker 4: I think that's one of the great things about training camp. 580 00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:48,840 Speaker 4: You probably go into the spring with a vision for 581 00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:51,560 Speaker 4: each player. Over the course of the spring, it changes 582 00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:53,399 Speaker 4: a little bit. Then you put the pads on and 583 00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:55,520 Speaker 4: get out here and you compete full speed against the defense, 584 00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:57,120 Speaker 4: and then it changes a little bit, and then we'll 585 00:21:57,119 --> 00:21:58,880 Speaker 4: go to joint practice and we'll probably change a little 586 00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:00,639 Speaker 4: bit more. So it's always a vault, whether it's him 587 00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:02,679 Speaker 4: or anybody on the team. Kind of your vision for 588 00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:04,320 Speaker 4: what they do, what they do well, how we can 589 00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:06,680 Speaker 4: utilize that player is always evolving. 590 00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:09,520 Speaker 6: William said yesterday that he kind of buzzes around the 591 00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:11,720 Speaker 6: league and he takes creativity from around. 592 00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:13,520 Speaker 3: The league when design and plays, and. 593 00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:15,159 Speaker 6: He also said he leans on you guys, So just 594 00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:17,640 Speaker 6: where do you kind of get your creativity from when 595 00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:20,679 Speaker 6: it comes to design and plays or the way you 596 00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:21,119 Speaker 6: you know. 597 00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:25,040 Speaker 4: I think it's a lot of things. Not each place 598 00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:27,159 Speaker 4: kind of comes you the same way, So it depends 599 00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:28,960 Speaker 4: on which play and what you're looking at or what 600 00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:31,439 Speaker 4: you're trying to get done at the time. I think 601 00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:33,200 Speaker 4: for me, at least, a lot of it starts with 602 00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:35,840 Speaker 4: trying to get a conceptual understanding of either what I'm 603 00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:37,959 Speaker 4: trying to do or what we're trying to do, and 604 00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:39,879 Speaker 4: then what the defense is doing, how they're build how 605 00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:43,120 Speaker 4: they're structured. So I don't know that I could necessarily 606 00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:45,480 Speaker 4: answer where the creativity comes from. That's probably a deeper 607 00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:48,280 Speaker 4: question for somebody, you know, smarter than me. But it 608 00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:51,080 Speaker 4: really starts with foundationally, like what are we trying to 609 00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:52,719 Speaker 4: get done? And what are they doing? And then how 610 00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:53,479 Speaker 4: can you attack that. 611 00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:57,600 Speaker 1: You guys call plays during preseason games and stuff like that, 612 00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:01,520 Speaker 1: like the fourth and one JetSuite to DM. Do you 613 00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:04,280 Speaker 1: guys sometimes call certain plays in the preseason to send 614 00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:06,000 Speaker 1: a message, whether it's to your own. 615 00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:08,639 Speaker 8: Team or the rest of the league or am. 616 00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:10,240 Speaker 1: I just looking too much into that? Like you know, 617 00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:12,159 Speaker 1: it's fourth to one and like Hey, we'll run this 618 00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:14,879 Speaker 1: jet suite. But now everybody in the rest of the 619 00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:17,520 Speaker 1: league is looking at it going, oh, though, they're not 620 00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:19,440 Speaker 1: just going to line up and smack it in the mouth. 621 00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:22,480 Speaker 7: You know what I mean, I know what you mean. 622 00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:25,000 Speaker 4: I think part of it is you want to be 623 00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:27,480 Speaker 4: focused on what we can control, and we're focused on us. 624 00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:30,040 Speaker 4: So we're trying to develop our offense more so than 625 00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:32,520 Speaker 4: being worried about what the other defenses are doing or 626 00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:35,040 Speaker 4: what we're trying to put on tape necessarily for defenses. 627 00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:37,960 Speaker 4: We're really focused on developing our offense, our guys, putting 628 00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:40,800 Speaker 4: them in the situations to be successful when the season comes. 629 00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:43,040 Speaker 4: So that's probably the first principle, you know, that's the 630 00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:45,920 Speaker 4: starting point of focus, and then what the defense doing 631 00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:48,320 Speaker 4: and all that kind of comes secondary and tertiary after that. 632 00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:52,040 Speaker 11: In a lot of situations, four running backs would be 633 00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:56,520 Speaker 11: one too many if you ever had four true tailbacks before, 634 00:23:56,720 --> 00:24:01,160 Speaker 11: and under the assumption that's twenty five guys, someone else 635 00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:03,400 Speaker 11: in another position group is going to lose his job. 636 00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:05,600 Speaker 7: What are those conversations been like. 637 00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:07,880 Speaker 4: Well, I think the running back position is a little 638 00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:09,880 Speaker 4: bit like when we talk about the offensive line position, 639 00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:13,120 Speaker 4: where how often do you get through an entire year 640 00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:16,560 Speaker 4: where one guy's the starter and he's carrying seventy five 641 00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:18,960 Speaker 4: eighty percent of the reps or eighty percent of the 642 00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:22,080 Speaker 4: carries every single game for all seventeen weeks and into. 643 00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:23,239 Speaker 11: The playoffs hopefully right. 644 00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:26,480 Speaker 4: Probably pretty rare nowadays in the NFL. So it's great 645 00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:28,840 Speaker 4: to have the depth at that position, to have a 646 00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:30,639 Speaker 4: stable of backs that can do it by committee, and 647 00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:33,880 Speaker 4: all have different strengths and weaknesses, and all can provide value.
