1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:04,240
Speaker 1: What is Russ given as a thirteen fourteen year veteran

2
00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:06,520
Speaker 1: that Jackson just can't give you yet?

3
00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:07,320
Speaker 2: Or is it?

4
00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:10,559
Speaker 3: Well, I think the obvioct Like it's the thirteen fourteen

5
00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:14,160
Speaker 3: years of playing. You got a guy who's never played

6
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:16,439
Speaker 3: in a real NFL game versus a guy who's played

7
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:18,920
Speaker 3: in a lot of them. You know, that experience is

8
00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:23,160
Speaker 3: just great. So, yeah, it's the experience.

9
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:25,600
Speaker 2: I mean, did you see that like in the practice field?

10
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:26,639
Speaker 4: Yeah, you see.

11
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:29,800
Speaker 3: I think you see that naturally everywhere, not just in

12
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:34,920
Speaker 3: the meeting room, down the halls, on the sidelines, and

13
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:37,239
Speaker 3: like I said in the spring, I think after we

14
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:40,879
Speaker 3: took Jackson, when when you're a rookie, not only are

15
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:44,600
Speaker 3: you trying to figure out everything football wise, but I

16
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:47,040
Speaker 3: mean he's also trying to figure out where to live.

17
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:49,920
Speaker 3: How do I get to work every day? What's what's

18
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:51,960
Speaker 3: the route I take? You know, Where's where are the

19
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:54,960
Speaker 3: places I go to eat? Now? Like, so just take

20
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 3: football out of it. His whole off the field life changed.

21
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:01,640
Speaker 3: Whereas Russ is at thirteen to fourteen or veteran, that

22
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 3: stuff kind of comes a little bit.

23
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 2: Easier, don't that stuff?

24
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:10,199
Speaker 3: Well, I mean, here you do though the scenery might change.

25
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:13,400
Speaker 3: But Russ has lived on his own. Jackson's never lived

26
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:16,119
Speaker 3: on his own, you know, So those things, those things

27
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 3: all add up to It's it's not just football, it's

28
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:23,400
Speaker 3: it's life. These guys are people. They have things going on.

29
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:25,680
Speaker 3: That's a big life change for a twenty two year

30
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:27,760
Speaker 3: old as probably as opposed to a thirty four year old.

31
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 4: It looks like he kind of has connected with Tommy

32
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:33,399
Speaker 4: and what's that relationship like the two of them and

33
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:35,200
Speaker 4: how much Yeah, what do you see from that.

34
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 3: Perspective, I would say they've all get The great thing

35
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 3: about that room is they've all connected really well, from

36
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 3: from Russ to Jamis, they've had a relationship in the past,

37
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 3: to Jamis and Tommy to Jackson, Tommy and the other two.

38
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 3: It's a fun room. They all kind of hang out.

39
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 3: I know they went to Russ's event last night, all

40
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 3: four of them. So it's just a positive thing to

41
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 3: see all four of those guys get along and ways

42
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 3: of fun to watch them interact because they're they're very

43
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 3: different personalities they are, and I think that's why they

44
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:16,640
Speaker 3: compliment each other so well. They're just like not getting

45
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:18,640
Speaker 3: too much into it. I mean meetings are fun. You know,

46
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:21,839
Speaker 3: they can banter back and forth with me, with them

47
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 3: with each other. They know when it's time to be

48
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:28,680
Speaker 3: serious in work. They know when to give tidbits to

49
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 3: each other on things that they've seen in the past.

50
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:33,359
Speaker 3: There's just a really good chemistry with all four of them.

51
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 5: A decision's career. Russ knows what works for him, but

52
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 5: how do you go about assessing what works for a

53
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 5: young quarterback? Like in New England Josh McDaniels wants to

54
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 5: put everything on Drake May's plate and Washington Cliff's like,

55
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:45,799
Speaker 5: let's bring them along more slowly. How do you guys

56
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 5: view that philosophically?

57
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 3: I think you view it as every situation is different.

58
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:54,520
Speaker 3: There's no cookie cutter way to you know, put in

59
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 3: an offense with a rookie quarterback. I think you want

60
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 3: to do stuff to where the ranks of your team,

61
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 3: the other ten guys are, you know, put on display.

62
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:07,639
Speaker 3: But what does the quarterback do as well? So it's

63
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:11,239
Speaker 3: a blend of those two things. So yeah, you take

64
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 3: what he's done well in his past, what have we

65
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 3: done in the past, and how can we bring those

66
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:19,799
Speaker 3: those things together? And I think and I don't think

67
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 3: that changes with just a rookie. I think that's the

68
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 3: same with Russ, Jamis, Tommy, all those four quarterbacks. While

69
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 3: they might like the same concept, there are different nuances

70
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 3: to that. So you always try to, you know, play

71
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 3: to their strengths no matter who's in. And then also

72
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 3: what your team does well. So there's a blend with

73
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 3: those two things.

74
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 5: I think you guys have talked a lot about this

75
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 5: plan for Jackson. How do is what he's shown in

76
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 5: the preseason either impact that or kind of change what.

77
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 3: You are doing with them? I don't think it changes

78
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 3: too much. You know, there's you don't you want to

79
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 3: trust the process of of what we have I think

80
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,080
Speaker 3: with him, just as long as you continue to see

81
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 3: the steady growth, you just stay on that path, don't

82
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 3: try to alter it too much. The good thing is

83
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 3: is when you do see the steady growth, like okay, now,

84
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 3: can we push a little bit more in terms of

85
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 3: just putting another thing on his plate, like hey, let's

86
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 3: all right, that was the first evolution, let's go to

87
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 3: this one. And if that keeps going, then you keep adding.

88
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:24,840
Speaker 3: But just in terms of, you know, the expectations and

89
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 3: what we want him to do and all of that.

90
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:32,360
Speaker 3: I don't think that changes in the games that he's

91
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 3: played that he did really well. Just his his poise,

92
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 3: his compactness in the pocket, his eyes down the field.

93
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:45,479
Speaker 3: He's trusting what he sees out there. He's doing a

94
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 3: good job of just trusting the offense, knowing where he's

95
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 3: supposed to go with the ball, and getting through things quickly,

96
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:52,920
Speaker 3: which is just what you want to see.

97
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 5: Side of that, I guess, or that you guys have

98
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:58,040
Speaker 5: talked about maybe.

99
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:00,039
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's always when you're out there for

100
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 3: the first time and maybe running a play the first

101
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:05,919
Speaker 3: time against you know, a live defense, just some of

102
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 3: the little details, you know, whether it's emotion, whether it's

103
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 3: getting out of the huddle a certain way, whether it's

104
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:17,280
Speaker 3: you know, taking keys from the defense, of where your

105
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:19,240
Speaker 3: eyes start when you get up to the line of scrimen.

106
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 3: It's just little things like that that you can drill

107
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 3: as much as you want, but when it gets out

108
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 3: there and it's live, you might have to give a

109
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 3: little reminder like, hey, don't forget about this, oh yeah,

110
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 3: because there's a million things going on before the snap,

111
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 3: you know, and you just got to focus on what

112
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 3: the important things are where you should be, what you

113
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 3: should do, and so i'd say those things.

114
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 6: You've been a coach for a long time, so I'm

115
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:46,279
Speaker 6: not I want to be clear, I'm not asking you

116
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 6: when Andrew Thomas is coming back that stable, but like,

117
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 6: have you been in a situation where guys only had

118
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 6: like a guy, a good player like that, has only

119
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:55,480
Speaker 6: had two or three practices before the season and you're

120
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:56,920
Speaker 6: comfortable throwing him out there.

121
00:05:57,560 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 1: Off the top of my head, I don't. I don't

122
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:02,359
Speaker 1: necessarily have that answer for you, and I wouldn't know.

123
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 1: I wouldn't try to speculate on what the status is

124
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 1: they really trying to keep that like you said with.

125
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:09,279
Speaker 4: This, yeah, yeah, I understand.

126
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 6: But when you have with his resume, does that make

127
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 6: it easier to like not get out of much of

128
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:16,919
Speaker 6: a summer?

129
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 2: I don't.

130
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:20,360
Speaker 1: I would say that, you know, any player requires practice.

131
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:22,360
Speaker 1: Andrew Thomas is one of the best tackles in the league.

132
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 1: So I mean, I think you can probably thread the

133
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:26,360
Speaker 1: needle a little bit in that, you know, one side

134
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 1: of the coin versus the other.

135
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 4: What have you seen from bo Bo smart?

136
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 1: He's versatile, he's got great feet, he has pride in

137
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:36,160
Speaker 1: the fact.

138
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 4: That he wants to be good, which is good a motivator.

139
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:42,480
Speaker 1: He's also a rookie, so there's some of those kind

140
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:46,360
Speaker 1: of young player developmental things or mistakes or you know,

141
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:48,360
Speaker 1: hey it doesn't work when I do this, then don't

142
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 1: do this, you know. But he's also not afraid to

143
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 1: try different things and when you ask him to do it,

144
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:53,920
Speaker 1: or he might try something he's done in college and

145
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:56,360
Speaker 1: we say, hey, keep that and keep doing that, or hey,

146
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 1: we're not necessarily fans of that. I don't think it'll

147
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:00,040
Speaker 1: work in my experience, and he buys in and he

148
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 1: does it. So a lot to like young player, a

149
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:04,159
Speaker 1: lot of potential.

150
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:06,360
Speaker 7: He's been kind of bouncing back and forth between the

151
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 7: two tackle spots. Why Saturday did you just keep him

152
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 7: at left tackle?

153
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 1: I mean, just how things kind of worked out for that,

154
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 1: and I think just get an opportunity.

155
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 4: To evaluate him over there.

156
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 1: He played primarily in his career at right side, so

157
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 1: he's played plenty of practice reps that left.

158
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 4: But games are different.

159
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 8: When you talk about offense line mean, sometimes scouts will

160
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 8: say that guy likes to finish his guy into the dirt,

161
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 8: or he likes to almost for lack of a bedterm like

162
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 8: embarrass his guy.

163
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 6: Do you see that from bow Like it feels like

164
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 6: he's always trying to knock his guy over.

165
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 1: I think one of the manchers I thought of a group,

166
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 1: the thing we could do better this year was was

167
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 1: just finish. We've been talking about trying to play, you know,

168
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 1: longer than the man with the football. I think you've

169
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 1: seen good buy in from the entire room in that regard,

170
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 1: and I think we've been pleased with that. Both certainly

171
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 1: has fit that bill and this is doing it as well.

172
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 4: So it's good. You agree he's had a strong hand.

173
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, a talented player. Like I said already, you know,

174
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 1: there's things that he.

175
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:06,440
Speaker 4: Can improve on and it will with time. He would

176
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 4: expect it.

177
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 1: He's got good ability, He's smart, and we enjoyed working

178
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 1: with him.

179
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 7: He's like with a lot of guys in there at

180
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 7: right Guard with GVR like he you know, he gets

181
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 7: a couple of series and then he sits out a couple.

182
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 7: Just how do you view that position? Is that managing

183
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 7: he's workload is like giving other guys a showcase.

184
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 1: I think it's a bit of everything, you know, I

185
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 1: mean just obviously with the every rep that counts for

186
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 1: Evan as far as getting in at the guard's position,

187
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 1: you know, just for him coming from tackle.

188
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:33,240
Speaker 4: So I think it's definitely part of that.

189
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 1: And then this is the fourteenth year, for the fourteenth

190
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:39,679
Speaker 1: camp for Greg van Roten, So there's sometimes I might

191
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:41,080
Speaker 1: look at a script and say, you know what, he

192
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 1: might not need that rep. Let's give it to somebody

193
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:44,960
Speaker 1: else and I'll pop them in, pop him out. Hey,

194
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 1: you know what, he needs every one of these and

195
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 1: he takes, you know, a ten rack in a row,

196
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:51,199
Speaker 1: which he's done. So it's just a matter of making

197
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 1: sure that everybody has gotten an opportunity with those reps.

198
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 1: And then you know, it's also about communication of getting

199
00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 1: Jermaine and JMS comfortable talking to other people as well.

200
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 7: Could you envision a rotation at a right guard?

201
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think I would speculate on anything what

202
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 1: it is. I'm sure we'll have a big meeting here

203
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 1: after this game. We still get today's practice and tomorrow

204
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:10,959
Speaker 1: before training camp officially breaks.

205
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:13,679
Speaker 9: In my mind along with that, and again like how

206
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:16,240
Speaker 9: what guys are transition from your experience? How how long

207
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 9: does it take you guys to kind of get comfortable

208
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 9: from what you've seen to just depend on the player, I.

209
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:22,480
Speaker 4: Think it would be an individual basis.

210
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:24,440
Speaker 1: I don't think you can necessarily say there's a time

211
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:25,720
Speaker 1: stamp on one thing or the other.

212
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:28,520
Speaker 4: I mean, Ivan definitely has traits that ring themselves well

213
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 4: to guard and would just continue to develop them.

214
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 9: Instance, does that make it like does he have to

215
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:34,839
Speaker 9: kind of like get to speak quickly as a matter

216
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 9: of you guys giving some grace to say, hey, he's

217
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:38,840
Speaker 9: still learning this even though we need him, but knowing

218
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:40,599
Speaker 9: he's gonna take some time to transition.

219
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:40,679
Speaker 10: A little bit.

220
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:41,880
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, what's your question?

221
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:44,560
Speaker 9: The question was like, do you give him, I guess,

222
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:45,960
Speaker 9: grace to kind of catch up to that or do

223
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:48,400
Speaker 9: you understand, Hey, do you even grace to kind of

224
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 9: learn to learn the position still or is it still

225
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:51,320
Speaker 9: he's got to get to speak quicker.

226
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 4: I mean, it's it's pro ball. We've got to be

227
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:53,680
Speaker 4: ready to play.

228
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:57,080
Speaker 11: You know what did you guys iron out between the

229
00:09:57,280 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 11: joint practices and the game and pass.

230
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 10: It seemed like the.

231
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:03,040
Speaker 11: Start of joint practice with the Jets, it was a

232
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:05,840
Speaker 11: struggle in pastor at first, but then it seemed like

233
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 11: you guys held up really well.

234
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 4: No.

235
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:09,840
Speaker 1: I mean, like anything, you'll have good days and bad days.

236
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 1: You can't you can't think that you've got it all

237
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 1: figured out. You also can't think that the sky is falling.

238
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 10: You know.

239
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 1: You kind of kind of stayed pretty consistent. We had

240
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 1: a few poor reps that can can you know snowball

241
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:22,280
Speaker 1: and I think that maybe what you saw in a

242
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:24,079
Speaker 1: period and I think, you know, I.

243
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,199
Speaker 4: Did a poor job of having them ready to go.

244
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 1: To start a practice. So you self reflect as a

245
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 1: coach of Okay, what drolls or what can I do

246
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:33,320
Speaker 1: you know, whether it's a speech, whether it's a drill,

247
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 1: whether it's not a drill, to make sure that we're

248
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 1: you know a little more prepared to start the practice.

249
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:40,920
Speaker 3: Just with JMS, what have you seen from him?

250
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 4: And you know, has he taken a step forward?

251
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 10: You know this this this kind.

252
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:46,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think a year three now for John Michael.

253
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 1: We saw a big step from him last year.

254
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:51,600
Speaker 4: And I think there's more to go.

255
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:55,120
Speaker 1: I think one thing people don't realize these guys come

256
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 1: he comes from a big ten program established Minnesota, but

257
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 1: they still get stronger. Like I mean, and he's only

258
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 1: twenty five years old, Like he's gonna he hasn't reached

259
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 1: his peak or strength yet, you know, so any cares.

260
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 1: So he's gonna keep working and improving his body, which then,

261
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 1: in tune, hopefully helps him, you know, be a little

262
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:12,880
Speaker 1: better football player. But I see a player that's a

263
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:14,960
Speaker 1: little more filled out physically, and then it just has

264
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 1: a little bit more experience another year under his belt.

265
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:20,680
Speaker 1: So he's done everything we've asked, and we're pleased. But

266
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:22,400
Speaker 1: you know, like my mind is, you know, please have

267
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:27,719
Speaker 1: been not satisfied. Blind and think of temper It can

268
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:30,760
Speaker 1: be good and bad. I think I think they'd probably

269
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 1: grudgingly say that they like it, you know, but at

270
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:37,959
Speaker 1: the same time, I mean, it pays a toll, you.

271
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 4: Know, use it all game or you can. I mean

272
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 4: I think we did so, I mean technically you can.

273
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 4: So yeah, he.

274
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:49,199
Speaker 3: Probably asked us high it coming back.

275
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 11: Uh, Well, I thought he did a nice job the

276
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 11: other night, you know, had some opportunities there and put

277
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:55,600
Speaker 11: some wins on tape, do a nice job.

278
00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:57,440
Speaker 10: You know.

279
00:11:57,480 --> 00:11:59,600
Speaker 11: He's just coming back here, like you said, after missing

280
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:00,280
Speaker 11: a little bit of time.

281
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:04,679
Speaker 10: But I thought he'd performed well the other night the

282
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 10: same stuff.

283
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:09,120
Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean, continue to put wins on tape where

284
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:10,719
Speaker 11: you're supposed to be, when you're supposed to be there,

285
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:12,680
Speaker 11: Make the play when they come to you. Make make

286
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 11: some if he has an opportunity to make a contest

287
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 11: to play like go and attack the football and come

288
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 11: down with those kinds of plays and be physical in

289
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 11: the run game. So everything the receiver's supposed to do right,

290
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 11: nothing different. Yeah, Collins, I did just answer that one,

291
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 11: but yeah, I think it was in a nice job.

292
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:34,560
Speaker 10: You know, he's uh.

293
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:38,319
Speaker 11: Done a good job since he got in here. He's

294
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:41,640
Speaker 11: very bright, and he's got a skill set. He's got

295
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 11: good length, he's got height, good speed, ball skills, can

296
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 11: get in out of his breaks. He's uh, you know,

297
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:53,080
Speaker 11: played very good fundamental football and been assignment sound and

298
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 11: he's got position flexibility and the mental flexibility to be able.

299
00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 10: To handle it.

300
00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:59,360
Speaker 2: How about what have you observed Montreal?

301
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:02,160
Speaker 11: I mean Montreal has kind of shown up. I know

302
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:05,200
Speaker 11: He's quote is make a play a day, and you

303
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:05,920
Speaker 11: know he's been able.

304
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 10: To do that.

305
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:09,319
Speaker 11: He's maximized his opportunities, which is what you have to

306
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:10,839
Speaker 11: do when you're fighting for a roster spot when the

307
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:12,720
Speaker 11: balls come to him. He's made some plays. Is some

308
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:15,560
Speaker 11: things that I think he could could have improved on.

309
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:17,839
Speaker 11: And we've talked about those things and he's very conscientious

310
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 11: and you know, he didn't really make the same mistake twice.

311
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 5: Can you take us through that pass from Jackson to

312
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:23,720
Speaker 5: THEO the other day from each of.

313
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:28,120
Speaker 12: Their Yeah, it was a you know, it was a screen,

314
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:31,839
Speaker 12: good call, good timing of the call, you know, the

315
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:36,000
Speaker 12: timing of it from really everybody from THEO to Germaine

316
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:40,080
Speaker 12: to the Line being able to get out was perfect.

317
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:42,560
Speaker 12: And then Jackson's ability to change his arm angle and

318
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 12: to give a ball and Theo's ability to find it.

319
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:46,600
Speaker 12: That's not always the easiest thing. You're expecting it up here,

320
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:49,160
Speaker 12: and when he drops the arm angle, you know, having

321
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 12: to adjust to it and find it. He did a

322
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 12: good job being able to secure it and then got

323
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:56,760
Speaker 12: behind the box and let genetics take over. So it

324
00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 12: was those guys that are great to everybody, did you know,

325
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:02,560
Speaker 12: the Line and THEO, Jackson, they all did a great jobs.

326
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:08,080
Speaker 1: Keepingnut THEO now versus the a year ago, totally totally different.

327
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:12,840
Speaker 12: Yeah, I mean, same same person, you know, same mindset,

328
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:17,800
Speaker 12: a very prideful guy, physical, you know, wants to win,

329
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 12: wants to do everything to help us be as good

330
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 12: as as a football team as possible. So nothing's changed there.

331
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:25,560
Speaker 12: I think the speed of the game has slowed down

332
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 12: a little bit for him, which I would say is

333
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 12: probably the case for most second year players. They've they've

334
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:32,800
Speaker 12: seen every look, they've seen every coovery. She played a

335
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:35,520
Speaker 12: lot of ball for us last year, so I think

336
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:37,200
Speaker 12: the mental part of it is kind of slowed down

337
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:37,680
Speaker 12: for him.

338
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:39,360
Speaker 10: And now that now, now.

339
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 12: That's allowing the physical, you know, details to kind of

340
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 12: take over there.

341
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 10: For how do I have to win this block?

342
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:47,640
Speaker 12: I know what I'm supposed to do, Now how am

343
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:49,800
Speaker 12: I supposed to do it again? I think that's a

344
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 12: jump most second year players make is they're not so

345
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:54,440
Speaker 12: much worried about what they have to do, but how

346
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:55,920
Speaker 12: how can I go out and do it?

347
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 2: The physical as a pass catcher is a lot there.

348
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:03,440
Speaker 12: Yeah, he's he's he's a large human being who runs

349
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:07,800
Speaker 12: very well. He's got a weird body, but like he's

350
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 12: got the ability to contort it and he's.

351
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:14,000
Speaker 10: Got great body control, huge hands. Yeah he does. He

352
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:15,720
Speaker 10: does a lot of things really well for us in

353
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:16,080
Speaker 10: the basket.

354
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 12: What kind of body you say, it's a he's got

355
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:21,680
Speaker 12: he's gonna get pissed off. He's got really long legs,

356
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 12: so like if you ever watch him walk, he like

357
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:26,960
Speaker 12: kind of has a weird gait, and you've got, man,

358
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 12: this guy's.

359
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 10: Not athletic, but then he goes and runs and you're like,

360
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:31,560
Speaker 10: holy smokes, he's got to fly. So he's got a dip.

361
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:32,120
Speaker 10: But he's got a.

362
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 12: Different body type, so he's got to do things a

363
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 12: little differently in order to get in and out of

364
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 12: breaks or get in and out of blocks or things

365
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:41,000
Speaker 12: along those lines. So you know that that's been an

366
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 12: adjustment for him because he can't just go on all

367
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:44,520
Speaker 12: people like he used to, so he's had to learn

368
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:45,080
Speaker 12: how to kind of.

369
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 10: Deal with some of those things and still go out.

370
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 4: And when do you think he was just starting to

371
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 4: get it when he got hurt.

372
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:53,880
Speaker 2: Yes, year, you know you could see it right.

373
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:54,400
Speaker 10: Yeah.

374
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 12: Again, I think that's kind of the the same concept

375
00:15:58,400 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 12: we were talking about as far as like being able

376
00:15:59,920 --> 00:16:03,640
Speaker 12: to understand what what I'm supposed to do and then Okay,

377
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 12: now how can I go out and do it better?

378
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 12: And and he was kind of right there, and you

379
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:10,440
Speaker 12: saw the production start to kind of increase a little bit,

380
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 12: so hopefully we can.

381
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 10: We can you know, pick up where he left off.

382
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:16,480
Speaker 2: I mean, this league is full of big time tight ends.

383
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:17,760
Speaker 4: You know, could he be one of them?

384
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:18,120
Speaker 2: Do you think?

385
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:21,120
Speaker 1: I mean, could he be a you know not just

386
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:22,800
Speaker 1: though that's a nice compliment, you know what I mean,

387
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:24,080
Speaker 1: nice little red zone, nice.

388
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:26,360
Speaker 12: Little Yes, he's he's got all the ability in the world.

389
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 12: He's got the right makeup. The biggest thing is what

390
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 12: I tell him to focus on is like, give me

391
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 12: the best best version of yourself today, Like you don't

392
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 12: have to be anybody other than who you are. I

393
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:38,480
Speaker 12: go out there, and if you do that, everyone's going

394
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 12: to be really happy.

395
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:39,320
Speaker 10: Though.

396
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:42,520
Speaker 1: You think you liked the tight end, you know, the

397
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:44,520
Speaker 1: he went to the Yeah.

398
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:46,480
Speaker 12: Yeah, I think that's a unique experience for those guys

399
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 12: to be able to go home kind of talk shop,

400
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:51,040
Speaker 12: be able to pick the brains to some of these guys.

401
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:52,160
Speaker 10: You know a lot of these a lot of these

402
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 10: guys are running.

403
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 12: Similar offenses or you know, take Kelsey for example, some

404
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:57,840
Speaker 12: of the stuff that we run from Kansas City. You know,

405
00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:01,360
Speaker 12: he's got a bunch of you know, uh experience running it,

406
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:03,400
Speaker 12: so being able to kind of pick their brains and

407
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:05,159
Speaker 12: some of the different details.

408
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:06,800
Speaker 10: That make them up that that can help them go

409
00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:07,480
Speaker 10: out and play better.

410
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:10,359
Speaker 4: How much have you had Elijah Chapman in your room?

411
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 2: I haven't had Elijah Chapman in my room at all, actually.

412
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 6: Really, So how do you play fullback without without doing

413
00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:18,359
Speaker 6: any running back stuff?

414
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:18,560
Speaker 1: Well?

415
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 2: He works with t K most of the time.

416
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:24,359
Speaker 13: Okay, Coach Kelly with the tight end slash type bodies,

417
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:25,320
Speaker 13: so I haven't.

418
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:27,360
Speaker 2: I haven't had a chance to work with them. Okay.

419
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:29,800
Speaker 3: Would you you are a former NFL running back?

420
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:31,120
Speaker 6: Would you like to run behind that guy?

421
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:34,240
Speaker 13: I would anybody that's going out there run through people

422
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:36,360
Speaker 13: and hit people. I'm always a fan of So that's

423
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:36,800
Speaker 13: been good.

424
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:40,879
Speaker 14: What what have you seen from from Tyrone Tracy? I

425
00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 14: mean you obviously were familiar with him and then you

426
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:47,360
Speaker 14: get here. Uh as far as tape from last year

427
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:49,720
Speaker 14: versus what he's shown so far this summer? What what's

428
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:52,880
Speaker 14: do you send? You A big difference in where he's at?

429
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:54,240
Speaker 14: Does it just a development?

430
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:54,639
Speaker 4: I do?

431
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:56,119
Speaker 13: I think you're seeing a player that's a little bit

432
00:17:56,119 --> 00:18:00,480
Speaker 13: more comfortable with the position, more confident, and obviously more confident.

433
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:03,600
Speaker 13: Trace is good news for the Giants, right, But you know,

434
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:05,560
Speaker 13: he started off playing running back, I think when he

435
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 13: was a youth, got away from it a little bit

436
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:09,280
Speaker 13: nice back at it. So you're just seeing a more

437
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:12,400
Speaker 13: confident player, guy that's getting used to the system, understanding

438
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:14,840
Speaker 13: where the blocks are, where the intent of the plays are.

439
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:16,399
Speaker 2: So he's just a more confident player.

440
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:17,400
Speaker 14: Is that patience?

441
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 2: Is that awareness?

442
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:20,639
Speaker 14: Is that both just the idea of knowing where the

443
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:22,399
Speaker 14: blocks are, because it seems like he is setting up

444
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:24,720
Speaker 14: his blocks a little bit more. I know it's a

445
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:27,399
Speaker 14: small sample size this summer, but it does seem like

446
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:29,360
Speaker 14: he's running with a little bit more patience, a little

447
00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:31,359
Speaker 14: bit more vision than maybe he did last year.

448
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:32,320
Speaker 2: It's all the above.

449
00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:33,920
Speaker 13: I'm sure last year was a bit of a learning

450
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:36,000
Speaker 13: curve for him, you know, playing running back really only

451
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:37,840
Speaker 13: one year in college and then coming straight to the

452
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:40,280
Speaker 13: pros and doing it again. So now you're seeing a

453
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:43,080
Speaker 13: guy that's really three years removed from playing the position,

454
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:46,119
Speaker 13: and now you get a chance to watch the film

455
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:48,719
Speaker 13: practice it more going, you know, day in and day

456
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:50,560
Speaker 13: out with their offensive linement. So you're starting to see

457
00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:52,679
Speaker 13: that cohesiveness, and like I said, that's a good thing

458
00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:53,200
Speaker 13: for the Giants.

459
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:53,919
Speaker 2: If he's playing like that
