1
00:00:01,880 --> 00:00:04,280
Speaker 1: Morning, Bill, I just was curious about a couple of

2
00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:09,120
Speaker 1: Jets players. Um, they're left tackle, the rookie Beckton Um.

3
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:11,840
Speaker 1: As you've sort of studied them, I'm curious what you've

4
00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:15,960
Speaker 1: noticed from him, and I guess, yeah, what you've noticed

5
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:20,920
Speaker 1: from him? Yeah, he's impressive. Um. You know, I've got

6
00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:25,840
Speaker 1: tremendous size, Um, good feet, moves, well, he's got some

7
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:31,840
Speaker 1: some devastating blocks. Very talented player. That's you seem getting

8
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:36,519
Speaker 1: better every week. But he's got um pretty pretty special

9
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:41,440
Speaker 1: ability left tackle that size. When you were watching him

10
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 1: just from your history in the league, did it bring

11
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:47,440
Speaker 1: you back to anyone in the past that stood out

12
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 1: to you just from a pure size standpoint, Yeah, I

13
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:59,640
Speaker 1: don't know, but he's He's big and athletic and Frank

14
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:03,160
Speaker 1: Gore obviously you've never coaching him, but I'm curious you

15
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 1: have your past ever really crossed with him? Have you

16
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 1: had much connection with him over the years. Yeah, A

17
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 1: tremendous amount of respect for Frank Um. You know, he's

18
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 1: had a great, great career, incredibly durable, tough, consistent. Um

19
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 1: plays with you know, it's a great playing style. I

20
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 1: know he gives you great leadership and toughness to the

21
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:29,400
Speaker 1: teams he's been on. I mean, that's that's really legendary. Um.

22
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:32,480
Speaker 1: But yeah, tremendous amount of respect competing against him, and

23
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 1: he's he's he's one of the that's why had one

24
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 1: of the great careers at his position in the National

25
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 1: Football League. Just very very impressive. Did you ever get

26
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 1: a chance to catch I mean, rather than like on

27
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 1: the field after a game, have you ever had much

28
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 1: time to connect with him, whether it be at like

29
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 1: a Pro Bowl or anywhere around. Yeah, a little bit,

30
00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 1: not too much. And then I had one one other

31
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 1: quick one just on your own roster. It just looks

32
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 1: like a run of injuries at tight end um at

33
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 1: the position, and it made me wonder Rushot very he'd

34
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 1: been working mostly on defense on the practice squad. Is

35
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 1: there a thought at all to flip him over if

36
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 1: he's available to you, Bill, just based on his history

37
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,120
Speaker 1: there at Ohio State, to maybe help you out where

38
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 1: the depth looks like it could use a boost. Uh, yeah, definitely,

39
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:29,639
Speaker 1: he's you know, I played that position for two years

40
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 1: at Ohio State and and um, you know, Shout's a

41
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 1: you know, very willing, willing player, willing to do whatever

42
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:40,960
Speaker 1: whatever he's asked to do. So UM yeah, I mean

43
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,679
Speaker 1: at this point, you know, when you have to try

44
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 1: to create depth on your roster. Um. Yeah, those are

45
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:49,240
Speaker 1: the kind of options that you you'd want to look out.

46
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 1: Next question, Well, I'm just curious what you've seen from

47
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:01,800
Speaker 1: from Sam Darnold UM this year. And he's got you know,

48
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 1: got over thirty starts now under his belt since coming

49
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 1: into the league. You obviously have seen him quite a bit.

50
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 1: So how have you seen him grow maybe since he's

51
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:12,960
Speaker 1: entered the league And what are some of the physical

52
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 1: tools that that he has that UM, you know, make

53
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 1: him a tough guy to defendant. He's got a lot

54
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:26,920
Speaker 1: of physical tools, UM, big strong guy, heart Attackleum. Yeah,

55
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 1: like the Josh Allen kind of you know, big strong

56
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 1: player like that. UM had some impressive runs, impressive scrambles,

57
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 1: like in the Denver game. UM shows a lot of toughness.

58
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 1: They'll hang in there and throw the ball the He's

59
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 1: obviously well coached and you know, they do a lot

60
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 1: of different things in terms of audibles and changing plays

61
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 1: and things like that. I mean, he shows a pretty

62
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 1: good awareness at the line of scrimmage to you know,

63
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 1: make the right check. To get out of a bad

64
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 1: play or to get into a good play and that

65
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 1: type of thing. So uh, yeah, I think there's been

66
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 1: a lot of growth with him. And and uh I

67
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:05,839
Speaker 1: think Adam's not a good job with him. He's he's

68
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 1: steadily improved, um to go, you know, from an execution

69
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 1: standpoint and understanding and so forth. But he has a

70
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 1: quite a bit of physical talent and um, you know,

71
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:19,920
Speaker 1: as I said, can make make all the throws and

72
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 1: it's hard got to tackle in the pocket or out

73
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:27,720
Speaker 1: of the pocket for that matter, I guess questionally from

74
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 1: his armful but Chris Ran, hey, coach, I just wanted

75
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 1: to ask you how you've seen Michael on one who

76
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 1: continue to develop here in his rookie season and I'm

77
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 1: just beginning to build on his great play. Yeah, Mike's

78
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 1: a hard working kid. He takes coaching well. He um,

79
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:48,720
Speaker 1: you know, whatever you asked him to do, he tries

80
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 1: very hard to do it. And as smart, real smart

81
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:56,599
Speaker 1: kid that can correct mistakes and you know, pick things

82
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 1: out the second time around. Uh, you know, he might

83
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:03,479
Speaker 1: might be something he hasn't seen that you know, he

84
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 1: doesn't maybe rack to us quickly too the first time,

85
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 1: but after he's after he's seen it and after he's

86
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:12,040
Speaker 1: had a chance to you know, gained some experience, which

87
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:16,159
Speaker 1: he's gained a lot of experience both playing guard and tackle. Um.

88
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 1: You know, he's his awareness and physicality technique. Um, just

89
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:24,279
Speaker 1: he's a good football player, and he's showing the versatility

90
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 1: to play, Uh, you know, two different spots guard and tackle,

91
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,719
Speaker 1: which in this league as a rookie is different sides

92
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 1: of the bat of the line. Has really been been impressive.

93
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 1: To the last questions, You've talked a lot about the

94
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 1: need for practice to develop the type of continuity and

95
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 1: inconsistency to bring results. On Sunday, I'm curious it's you've

96
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:56,360
Speaker 1: gotten more practice under your belts here. Do you feel

97
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:58,919
Speaker 1: that you're petting it in the right direction in that

98
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 1: realm and is that net being developed amongst the group? Yeah,

99
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:08,679
Speaker 1: absolutely nothing. Nothing helps the football team more than practice. Um.

100
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 1: So that's that's really where we have the best chance

101
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 1: to improve, and we are improving and we're working hard

102
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 1: to do that. So we need to, you know, work

103
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:22,680
Speaker 1: hard in all areas you know, players, coaches and all

104
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 1: three units and so forth. So but absolutely the practice

105
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:32,479
Speaker 1: is ut extremely beneficial to making progress and and you know,

106
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:35,840
Speaker 1: getting things done better than the way we were doing

107
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:37,360
Speaker 1: them or the way we're currently doing them. I mean,

108
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 1: that's how you improve. So that's been very important and

109
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:42,920
Speaker 1: you know, glad we've had the opportunity to to get

110
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 1: back to doing that more recently. Hopefully we can continue that.

111
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:50,239
Speaker 1: So we certainly need to. Devin mccordy was talking yesterday

112
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:53,159
Speaker 1: about the respect that he has for Adrian Phillips and

113
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 1: Patrick Chung and the ability to step into basically a

114
00:06:56,920 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 1: linebacker roll out of their typical secondary spots, and that

115
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:02,919
Speaker 1: it's not something he could do. And as respect for

116
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:06,119
Speaker 1: those individuals, when you're putting whether it's Phillips or Shung

117
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 1: in that position, Um, what are you looking for from them?

118
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 1: And what allows for them to get to have success

119
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 1: going up against guys that may be bigger, stronger in

120
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 1: those in those realms. What do you like about those matchups? Well,

121
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 1: it's really a level of comfort and instinctive us with

122
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 1: those players. Some some players are very good in those

123
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 1: situations and you know, make good quick in line decisions

124
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 1: of you know, where the ball is, where the blockers are,

125
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 1: and where the responsibilities and so forth, and um, you know,

126
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 1: other players see the game that are or maybe differently

127
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:47,559
Speaker 1: from a different location, whether it's a corner or deeper

128
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 1: into field or so forth. So, Um, yeah, both those

129
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 1: guys are good players in the box. They they make

130
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 1: good decisions, they recognize things quickly. Um, they're tough, they're aggressive,

131
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 1: and you know, times they're overmatched in terms of size,

132
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 1: but um, in terms of quickness, then they certainly have

133
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 1: an advantage over the the bigger lineman when when there's

134
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 1: a little more space involved. So it just really depends

135
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 1: on you know, what the situation is, who the advantage,

136
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 1: who might have the advantage there. So, but the agent's

137
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:21,200
Speaker 1: done an excellent job for Uce who asked them to,

138
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 1: you know, do do a number of different roles as

139
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 1: well as you know, play played close to the line

140
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 1: of scrimmage, and he's he's done a nice joff force.

141
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 1: You're welcome. One final question from Jim mc Jim Morning Coach.

142
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 1: It just kind of wanted to build on that on

143
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 1: one new question. Um, it seems from watching him that

144
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:44,560
Speaker 1: he's pretty adept at the combination blocks and just how

145
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:46,960
Speaker 1: difficult is that and impressive is that that he's been

146
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 1: able to kind of master that technique, playing both sides

147
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 1: of the both sides of the line and two different positions. Yeah,

148
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 1: Mike's you know, Mike's not only a good player in

149
00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 1: terms of having position flex ability and the intelligence to

150
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:06,840
Speaker 1: you know, handle a different position and different assignments and

151
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 1: be on a different side of the ball, but the

152
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:12,640
Speaker 1: fundamentals and techniques are are very good. And so really

153
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 1: anytime you have a double team block, it's it's really

154
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:18,560
Speaker 1: not a true double team block. You're you're you're starting

155
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:21,439
Speaker 1: off on two guys on one, but ultimately you want

156
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 1: to end up with two guys on two guys. Uh,

157
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 1: you just don't have enough guys to double team and

158
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:29,319
Speaker 1: you know, get a hat on everybody. So really the

159
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 1: key on those double teams is the successfully block two

160
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 1: for two and again that takes you know, timing, practice, execution, uh,

161
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 1: and a lot of different situations that you know are

162
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 1: border into gray of you know, who's going to take

163
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:45,240
Speaker 1: the guy on the line, who's going to go to

164
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:47,960
Speaker 1: the next level, and how quickly that may or may

165
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,440
Speaker 1: not happen. So it's um in a lot of teamwork

166
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 1: and decision making and cooperation between the two blockers is involved.

167
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 1: But as you mentioned, whether it's the garden center, tackle guard,

168
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:03,559
Speaker 1: tackle tight end, depending on what position he's playing, and

169
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 1: you know who, the double team and combination with and

170
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 1: so forth. Um. Again, overall, he's done a really good

171
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 1: job of of executing those. But they they certainly take

172
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 1: a lot of work and a lot of you know,

173
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 1: timing and good fundamentals for him to be successful. Um,

174
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:20,679
Speaker 1: he does a good job of that. But I mean

175
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:22,839
Speaker 1: across the board, that's the kind of thing that you know,

176
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 1: the more we do it, the better we get at it.

177
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 1: And and uh, you know it's we've we've had you

178
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:30,679
Speaker 1: know a lot of plays that are been good and

179
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:33,840
Speaker 1: that we've done that well on and again, just striving

180
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:38,840
Speaker 1: for you know, a higher level of consistency. Yeah, you're welcome.

181
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 1: Thanks everyone, Okay, thank you,
