That's really what it came down to, 54 00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:57,440 Speaker 1: is just he's been looking great in Indie and then 55 00:02:57,480 --> 00:02:59,680 Speaker 1: in the limited amount of reps he was getting kind 56 00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:03,840 Speaker 1: of lead up to was just the volume, the every day, 57 00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:07,400 Speaker 1: the every play, the every drill, going through it paying 58 00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:12,960 Speaker 1: free and without any issues. How do you test them 59 00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:13,640 Speaker 1: in practice? 60 00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,600 Speaker 2: Do you throw him a protection maybe they haven't seen 61 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:19,200 Speaker 2: or a different rule with the see hey they've picked 62 00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,400 Speaker 2: u up, now I can trust them in another situation. 63 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:25,079 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean Leaquin definitely is probably at that point 64 00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:29,040 Speaker 1: for sure where he could maybe just go see something 65 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:32,880 Speaker 1: different and go react in too, and has definitely improved 66 00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:37,560 Speaker 1: on the protection piece. Absolutely, Leaquin has a different level 67 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:39,720 Speaker 1: of because he's in on so many more of those 68 00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:43,520 Speaker 1: third down situations. He's a little bit more exposed to 69 00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:49,280 Speaker 1: those different looks, different stunts, different twists, different pressures. So 70 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:54,440 Speaker 1: they've definitely improved both of those guys. Young backs. Figuring 71 00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:58,119 Speaker 1: out the protection world is not an easy task, and 72 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 1: you know, Chad's done a great job with him. 73 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,520 Speaker 2: They're at college, is it, guy? 74 00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:08,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean you still have half man half slide 75 00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:11,440 Speaker 1: protections in college right where you're Mike I ding And 76 00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:13,680 Speaker 1: it might be O Lie is four down to the 77 00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:16,320 Speaker 1: middle three.

They 81 00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:32,600 Speaker 1: also the speed in which those twists, stunts, pressures are occurring. 82 00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:38,080 Speaker 1: That's the difference and how one mistake, obviously in protection, 83 00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:41,119 Speaker 1: can really screw up a play. 84 00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,440 Speaker 2: Whatever is his uh, Anton Harrison gotten better. 85 00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:47,880 Speaker 1: As a player, you know, I think the consistent first 86 00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:50,960 Speaker 1: and foremost, a consistent you know, strain in and out. 87 00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:54,560 Speaker 1: When he's playing and straining to the best of his ability, 88 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:58,120 Speaker 1: good things are happening for Anton. I think he's really 89 00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:00,680 Speaker 1: pass prode well at a high level. He's in one 90 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:05,760 Speaker 1: on one opportunities and you know, he's really strained and 91 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,880 Speaker 1: pulled some holes and pried some holes open for us 92 00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:11,560 Speaker 1: as well in some of the gap schemes, and so 93 00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:15,279 Speaker 1: he's uh man, when Anton's playing at that level, it's 94 00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:17,120 Speaker 1: it's really fun to watch and it's great for our 95 00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:25,280 Speaker 1: OFFENSEX Crosby, Yeah, realized he was backing, and it was 96 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:29,599 Speaker 1: very early on in the building seeing him and just 97 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:32,320 Speaker 1: the way he operated. But once we put the pads 98 00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:35,440 Speaker 1: on in training camp, he and vent Treil had a 99 00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:42,880 Speaker 1: pretty gnarly uh blitz in practice that you you were 100 00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:46,440 Speaker 1: you know, you got to take a step back here, 101 00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,000 Speaker 1: you know and say how we stepped up, how we 102 00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,719 Speaker 1: met him. But it was just a great rep from 103 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:55,080 Speaker 1: both sides, honestly, and and you saw Quint his reaction 104 00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:58,680 Speaker 1: after and you're like, Okay, this guy's got got something 105 00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:02,159 Speaker 1: in you know, Camden New Jersey went up to Syracuse, 106 00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:06,919 Speaker 1: helped get that program turned around in a lot of ways, 107 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:14,559 Speaker 1: and so that is infectious, absolutely rely has no reason, 108 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:19,799 Speaker 1: absolutely love it.

All of those things really help 118 00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:59,080 Speaker 1: a guy, you know like Jarn that is trying to 119 00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:02,039 Speaker 1: soak up as much information as possible and go play 120 00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:04,920 Speaker 1: fast and play better for us Again this week, the 121 00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:09,880 Speaker 1: course of manufacter a faster start, I think you were 122 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,080 Speaker 1: going to hurt the year. Yeah, I mean I think 123 00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:14,240 Speaker 1: if we didn't turn it over or down on the 124 00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:17,040 Speaker 1: one two yard line last week, I think the start 125 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:19,560 Speaker 1: was probably where we were at obviously three and now 126 00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:22,200 Speaker 1: on the first drive and then got it going a 127 00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:24,000 Speaker 1: little bit there. So I think we were on our 128 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:27,960 Speaker 1: way to starting faster than we had been and so 129 00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:32,640 Speaker 1: ended up not working that self out. But the ability 130 00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:35,120 Speaker 1: to be balanced is what you're hunting up though, absolutely, 131 00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:38,600 Speaker 1: and just the accuracy within the second half and through overtime, 132 00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:42,520 Speaker 1: the amount of guys making plays like we do need 133 00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:45,840 Speaker 1: it earlier, We do need it to show up for 134 00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:47,960 Speaker 1: all four quarters.

We got you know, hey, we got a 176 00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:49,720 Speaker 1: great opportunity for the next five, six weeks, whatever it was, 177 00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:52,240 Speaker 1: to go have some fun, let root, let it rip 178 00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:54,080 Speaker 1: and see what happens. If we win, it could be 179 00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:57,280 Speaker 1: a minor miracle. And so you know, that is kind 180 00:09:57,320 --> 00:09:59,680 Speaker 1: of how it went down. And so it wasn't as 181 00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:02,120 Speaker 1: it was just a lot of work and a lot 182 00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:04,640 Speaker 1: of time and then you walk out of it with 183 00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:06,800 Speaker 1: a ton of respect for the person that went and 184 00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:15,280 Speaker 1: performed it under a high pressure situation. Yeah, yeah, around 185 00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:18,120 Speaker 1: that time one I would say, yeah, back in quick 186 00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:23,040 Speaker 1: because Sean is a morning person. So yeah, that was 187 00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:27,400 Speaker 1: this first night went well past midnight. Absolutely mentioned Houston 188 00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:29,880 Speaker 1: sts this morning is a play caller? 189 00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:32,240 Speaker 2: Is the hey ever in the bar? Or are you 190 00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:33,840 Speaker 2: printing your call sheet Sunday morning? 191 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:38,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, Sunday at the host time, for sure. But we 192 00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:40,600 Speaker 1: do want we'll have some of our openers and stuff 193 00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:43,040 Speaker 1: for the guys today. Things that we did do that 194 00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:46,400 Speaker 1: last week were just kind of getting some of the 195 00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:48,960 Speaker 1: priority thoughts to these guys a little bit earlier in 196 00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:52,679 Speaker 1: the week, you know. But also we're still in stall 197 00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:55,520 Speaker 1: in the red zone this morning too, minute things like 198 00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:59,200 Speaker 1: that tomorrow, So it really doesn't stop all the way 199 00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:02,800 Speaker 1: up until now. Nothing will change though. That is the 200 00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:07,280 Speaker 1: I do believe in that we may say, let's take 201 00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:09,400 Speaker 1: this out, but we're not really looking to try to 202 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:13,880 Speaker 1: add too much at this time. It may be refining, tweaking, 203 00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:17,200 Speaker 1: but trying not to add too much to their plates 204 00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:20,760 Speaker 1: later in the week. That's not something that's within the plan. 205 00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:23,320 Speaker 1: It's not I'm not gonna walk in probably tomorrow morning 206 00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:25,600 Speaker 1: with hey, guys, I find a new play action that 207 00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:27,880 Speaker 1: I want to run within the first two drives of 208 00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:32,080 Speaker 1: the game type of thing. But you're definitely looking for 209 00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:35,160 Speaker 1: every possible angles. 210 00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:38,280 Speaker 2: Really not having Brian Thomas this week, just what does 211 00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:41,120 Speaker 2: that do to the offense in terms of not necessarily 212 00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:43,679 Speaker 2: having that elite speed to threaten the top of the defense. 213 00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:47,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I think you can obviously still do 214 00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:51,920 Speaker 1: it within schematically as well, And but it hurts. I mean, 215 00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:56,080 Speaker 1: not VT's he can roll and he he rises to 216 00:11:56,160 --> 00:12:00,080 Speaker 1: playing against these guys. He has in the past and 217 00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:03,000 Speaker 1: had a huge moment for us in that game last 218 00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:06,280 Speaker 1: time to seal that victory. So not having them is 219 00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:09,040 Speaker 1: a big deal for us. And you know those guys 220 00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:10,920 Speaker 1: are going to continue to have to step up again 221 00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:14,760 Speaker 1: this week and go make some dirty, grimmy, contested plays, 222 00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:16,440 Speaker 1: and that's the kind of game it's going to have 223 00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:16,680 Speaker 1: to be.
