Very special, you know, 3 00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:11,480 Speaker 1: Um obviously the not only see the eight that went in, 4 00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:13,280 Speaker 1: but but all the other guys are there, you know, 5 00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:17,279 Speaker 1: all the other Hall of famers, and um, it's a 6 00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:20,840 Speaker 1: special it's a special deal. And uh really it really 7 00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:22,239 Speaker 1: meant a lot to me because I love the history 8 00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:24,640 Speaker 1: of the game, you know, and kind of how how 9 00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:26,760 Speaker 1: people kind of come up through this, through this league, 10 00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:30,280 Speaker 1: and and um I thought all this, all the speeches 11 00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:34,320 Speaker 1: and presentations, we were well done. And and um Tony's 12 00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:38,239 Speaker 1: was exceptional.

Um, 17 00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:53,080 Speaker 1: you know, organizationally, we had a lot of people there obviously, 18 00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:56,880 Speaker 1: you know, the media was there. Um. And really felt 19 00:00:56,880 --> 00:01:01,200 Speaker 1: the impact of you know, I think the love the 20 00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:04,000 Speaker 1: city has for for this team, for this organization over 21 00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:08,880 Speaker 1: the years, and uh yeah, definitely felt yesterday. Yeah, you 22 00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:11,480 Speaker 1: have to putting more time to evaluate forwards now you 23 00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:13,880 Speaker 1: do you feel in any way better about what you 24 00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:18,240 Speaker 1: saw than right after the game. Um, yeah, I mean, 25 00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:20,039 Speaker 1: you know, it's never as never as good as you think. 26 00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:21,399 Speaker 1: It's never as bad as you think. There were some 27 00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:23,839 Speaker 1: good individual efforts, you know out there during the game. 28 00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:26,480 Speaker 1: I think there's still there's a lot of things we've 29 00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:27,959 Speaker 1: got to clean up, you know, and it's just it 30 00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:30,400 Speaker 1: just comes down to fundamentals and details. You know. We 31 00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:33,800 Speaker 1: spent the first two weeks of camp really installing offense 32 00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:36,160 Speaker 1: and defense, and so there was a lot of I 33 00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:38,759 Speaker 1: think from a from a mental standpoint, there's a lot 34 00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:41,199 Speaker 1: of things too that we kind of throw at these guys. 35 00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:44,120 Speaker 1: And now that we're kind of into the meat and 36 00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:46,720 Speaker 1: potatoes to train to camp, things begin to you know 37 00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:48,960 Speaker 1: slow down from an installation standpoint, and we can go 38 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,920 Speaker 1: back and and really fine tune in detail, you know, 39 00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:53,800 Speaker 1: some of the assignments, some of the details that we 40 00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:56,480 Speaker 1: we and some of the mistakes we made in the game, 41 00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:59,440 Speaker 1: and and um, you know, build towards this next one. 42 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,680 Speaker 1: There's the one are they incurred In fact, there's only 43 00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:05,280 Speaker 1: one free snap them only in offense that was late 44 00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:09,320 Speaker 1: and there were no like panicky timeouts because somebody didn't 45 00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:13,280 Speaker 1: get in or lined up for its institution issues. Yeah, 46 00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:16,640 Speaker 1: that part that that that game management stuff, Um, I 47 00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:19,600 Speaker 1: thought went smoothly, you know it. It might have looked smooth, 48 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:21,400 Speaker 1: but I know on the sideline there's some there's some 49 00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:23,239 Speaker 1: chaos because there's a lot of bodies that we're trying 50 00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:25,320 Speaker 1: to get in, especially in the second half. But I 51 00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:27,959 Speaker 1: was pleased with the pre snap you know, the presnap 52 00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:30,040 Speaker 1: stuff there. There probably could have been a couple of more, 53 00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:33,720 Speaker 1: but um, overall, you know, the guys, guys really um 54 00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:36,800 Speaker 1: you know, took that part of it to heart and 55 00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:38,600 Speaker 1: you know we'll be we'll be better for it again 56 00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:41,280 Speaker 1: this week. What do you want to see from your 57 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:44,720 Speaker 1: matteran players at this point of camp kind of expect 58 00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:46,600 Speaker 1: from them because they're not going to be a lot 59 00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:49,560 Speaker 1: of rents to proofings and so for camp and practice, 60 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:50,880 Speaker 1: what do you want to see? Well, I just you 61 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:55,080 Speaker 1: just gotta see constant improvement. Excuse me, constant improvement, you know, 62 00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:58,520 Speaker 1: every day every week. You know, as I said that 63 00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:00,959 Speaker 1: the installations as far as putting in the information is 64 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:03,840 Speaker 1: tapering off now, so we can continue to go back 65 00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:09,080 Speaker 1: and you know, fine tune assignments, alignments, the details of 66 00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:12,600 Speaker 1: routes run game, the fits for the offensive line, things 67 00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:15,480 Speaker 1: like that. Um, and that's what you gotta see. And 68 00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 1: that's that's where the that's where the you know, the 69 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,760 Speaker 1: constant improvement needs to needs to start start showing up 70 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,520 Speaker 1: here in these next uh, you know, several weeks before 71 00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,440 Speaker 1: before the regular season. What have you seen so far 72 00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:29,440 Speaker 1: from some of the young receivers like Tim Jones, Jeff Connon. 73 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:33,920 Speaker 1: I think they've you know, they've they've done well in 74 00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:35,520 Speaker 1: these first couple of weeks of camp. You know, they've 75 00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:39,200 Speaker 1: put themselves in a position to you know, compete and uh, 76 00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:41,000 Speaker 1: making hard on us as a staff at the end 77 00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:44,200 Speaker 1: of camp too, you know, to find the five or 78 00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:48,200 Speaker 1: six or seven guys whatever it might be. And um, 79 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:50,600 Speaker 1: but yeah, they've they've done really well. They've they've you know, 80 00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:54,080 Speaker 1: haven't made a ton of mental airs, you know out here. Um, 81 00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:55,880 Speaker 1: you know they carried over into the game just a 82 00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:57,600 Speaker 1: little bit. But there are some things we can still 83 00:03:57,600 --> 00:03:59,520 Speaker 1: clean up. And you know, that's one thing I like 84 00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,200 Speaker 1: about both those guys is they they really pay attention 85 00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,080 Speaker 1: to that and take the coaching and then and then 86 00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,520 Speaker 1: come out here and fix it. There's been a couple 87 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:08,080 Speaker 1: of guys. You guys have been able to pick up 88 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:10,840 Speaker 1: from the USFL some of the other leagues. How much 89 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:13,400 Speaker 1: evident manage has been having you know, more leagues and 90 00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:16,320 Speaker 1: given more players opportunities that you know, putting reps on tape. 91 00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:19,400 Speaker 1: I was one of those guys, you know, back when 92 00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:21,440 Speaker 1: I played, I played in the World League, you know, 93 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:24,400 Speaker 1: two different times. And it just benefits. You know, the 94 00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:29,080 Speaker 1: more snaps you can get um against good competition, the 95 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:31,120 Speaker 1: better the better you are as a as a player. 96 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:34,040 Speaker 1: And you know, every team is looking, every team is watching, 97 00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:36,159 Speaker 1: and and uh, you get an opportunity to come to 98 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:40,240 Speaker 1: an NFL camp and and showcase and very very beneficial 99 00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:42,320 Speaker 1: that that we can start having some of these spring 100 00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:46,120 Speaker 1: leagues pop up and and uh really kind of be 101 00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:47,920 Speaker 1: a I want to say a feeder, but at least 102 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:54,440 Speaker 1: an opportunity for these young guys to play. Yeah, Devin 103 00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:56,240 Speaker 1: Lloyd is still gonna be day today. We're still gonna 104 00:04:56,279 --> 00:05:00,360 Speaker 1: monitor his his progress.

What did you see 111 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:25,839 Speaker 1: out of Walker Little? He got to play the entire 112 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:28,919 Speaker 1: first half. I thought he thought he played well, you 113 00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:34,159 Speaker 1: know he Um, he settled in right away. Um, you know, 114 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:37,200 Speaker 1: his his run blocking past protection. You know, I thought 115 00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:39,440 Speaker 1: he was thought he was focused and dialed in, you know, 116 00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:41,920 Speaker 1: and and really had a good first half and and 117 00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:44,200 Speaker 1: and really good to see, you know, because you know 118 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:47,000 Speaker 1: he's in that sort of that battle with with JT 119 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:51,000 Speaker 1: over there at the right side, and um, he did uh, 120 00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:53,200 Speaker 1: you know, he did everything he could to put his 121 00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:54,680 Speaker 1: best foot forward. You know. The other night did a 122 00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:57,800 Speaker 1: nice job. The other night said that you and Josh 123 00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:00,520 Speaker 1: McDaniels has had a phone call talking about how you're 124 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,160 Speaker 1: gonna approach game one or do you do that? Was 125 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:04,599 Speaker 1: that just because it was game one? Are you gonna 126 00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:09,479 Speaker 1: do that with every every preseason game? Not necessarily every game? Um, 127 00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:11,599 Speaker 1: but you know, Josh and I just spoke to just 128 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:14,559 Speaker 1: kind of lay out a couple of ground ground rules, 129 00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:16,160 Speaker 1: you know, going into this first one, because we knew 130 00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:17,880 Speaker 1: we were playing both sides. We're gonna play a lot 131 00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:20,040 Speaker 1: of guys, and and we wanted to keep it as 132 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:22,160 Speaker 1: kind of vanilla as simple as possible, so you guys 133 00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:24,520 Speaker 1: can just go play and execute and and really get 134 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:27,400 Speaker 1: on tape and and then make the necessary corrections. But 135 00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:30,479 Speaker 1: I mean it's common that coaches in preseason we'll talk 136 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:33,560 Speaker 1: like that, and uh, you know, um, I can't say 137 00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,360 Speaker 1: moving forward that I'll do that, but but it is common. 138 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:39,800 Speaker 1: Was it more about preseason game number one? Wasn't more 139 00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:42,480 Speaker 1: about you also play in the regular season? Now, it 140 00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:48,760 Speaker 1: was more about preseason one? Yeah, Walker got his first game. Actually, 141 00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:52,040 Speaker 1: just what was it like seeing im for that first 142 00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:54,839 Speaker 1: contents change where? Yeah, you know, I mean, gosh, he 143 00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:57,479 Speaker 1: uh he did some did some nice things. Unfortunate you know, 144 00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:01,800 Speaker 1: first play, got the penalty, but after further view, right, um, 145 00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:04,320 Speaker 1: uh but no, I thought he played well, played hard. 146 00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:06,800 Speaker 1: You know, Um, you could probably work on his get 147 00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:10,320 Speaker 1: off a little bit more, but um, you know overall overall, 148 00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:13,000 Speaker 1: played well, settled in, not too big for him, and uh, 149 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:16,800 Speaker 1: everything you expected out of your first pick. All right, 150 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:17,480 Speaker 1: thanks guys,
