1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:05,600
Speaker 1: Sorry, can you hear me? Yes, Sorry, I apologize. Um yeah, no,

2
00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:08,319
Speaker 1: Shalik Um, Shalik has been great to work with this year.

3
00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:11,000
Speaker 1: He does a lot of stuff really well for us.

4
00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:12,879
Speaker 1: Has a lot of versatility. You can play a lot

5
00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:15,520
Speaker 1: of different spots. So, um, you know, he's an easy

6
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:17,239
Speaker 1: guy to get out onto the field, like I said,

7
00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:22,240
Speaker 1: just because of his versatility. UM, very good athletes, strong fast. Um,

8
00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:24,040
Speaker 1: like I said, does a lot of stuff well, so,

9
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:29,360
Speaker 1: um yeah, he can play play in all situations. This

10
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:31,960
Speaker 1: part of my ignorance on this question. But when we

11
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 1: talk to him and Dietricks, they always talk about running games.

12
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:39,560
Speaker 1: What exactly does that mean? And when when they say that, um, yeah,

13
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:44,280
Speaker 1: it's you know just kind of um working together as

14
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:48,240
Speaker 1: uh in different types of movements and uh, different things

15
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:50,960
Speaker 1: like that. So they're able to, um you know, play

16
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:53,480
Speaker 1: off of one each other and play off of one

17
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 1: one another and uh you know kind of use each other,

18
00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 1: um to to create a create an advance and thank you.

19
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:07,039
Speaker 1: Hey we'll go with Mike go ahead and Mike Steve

20
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 1: hope you're well. Yesterday, Adriaan was you know saying to

21
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 1: this offense, there's there's a little a lot of window

22
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:14,119
Speaker 1: dressing to it, but really, at it's court, it's kind

23
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 1: of a simple offense. I'm curious how important is it

24
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 1: for your guys to recognize the play and kind of

25
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:22,720
Speaker 1: not take the cheese on what they're trying to sell

26
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:25,400
Speaker 1: and has going and gets cam a little bit here,

27
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 1: maybe giving them a little bit of an advantage on that.

28
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 1: Um yeah, I mean, you know, you gotta you gotta

29
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 1: try and take advantage of whatever opportunity you get in

30
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:36,959
Speaker 1: and whoever you play against in terms of you know,

31
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:40,480
Speaker 1: building your overall football awareness. But you know, this team,

32
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 1: they do a lot of things really really well. They're

33
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 1: obviously one of the one of the top teams in

34
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 1: the league, and it's gonna be a tough, tough challenge

35
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:51,919
Speaker 1: for us this week. But yeah, you know, at its core, Um,

36
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 1: it can it can simplify at times, depending on how

37
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 1: you look at the game. But you know, all their

38
00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 1: players are very versatile. They play a lot of different

39
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 1: guys and and all those guys can do can do

40
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 1: multiple things. So um yeah, you just gotta gotta have

41
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 1: good eye control, read your keys, and trust what you

42
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 1: see and try and play fast. From a game plan perspective,

43
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 1: how do you balance kind of your own defense trying

44
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 1: to deal with their cumbination of speed and physicality. It

45
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 1: seems like it's kind of extremes in both directions. Yeah,

46
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:24,799
Speaker 1: like I said, um, you know, they're very, very explosive

47
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 1: and in a lot of different ways. So um, you know,

48
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 1: kind of going back to Adrian's point, you just kind

49
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,080
Speaker 1: of try to trying to have to simplify it the

50
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 1: best you can. Trust what you see, and uh, like

51
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 1: I said, read your keys and and try and play

52
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:40,519
Speaker 1: fast out there and not be tentative. If these guys

53
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:44,359
Speaker 1: are are powerful and fast. So if you're plan plan tentative,

54
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 1: then you know the power guys are going to run

55
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:47,959
Speaker 1: through you and the speed guys are going to run

56
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 1: by you. So you just gotta gotta be ready to

57
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:54,080
Speaker 1: play aggressive as as you do every week, but this

58
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:57,240
Speaker 1: week specifically just with with all the different ways they

59
00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 1: can attack you. Thanks, you appreciate it. Yep. Let's see

60
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:05,359
Speaker 1: any other hands raise, so just remind you please raise

61
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 1: your hand if you have a question. Here we go

62
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 1: back to Jim mcbrine. Go ahead, Jim, see with the

63
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 1: way with the way Lamar can kind of break a

64
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 1: defense down, especially off a broken play how how often

65
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:21,519
Speaker 1: do you have to remind your guys to to kind

66
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 1: of stay in their lanes and stick with their technique

67
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:27,640
Speaker 1: and trust the you know, kind of trust what they're doing. Yeah,

68
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:31,640
Speaker 1: you know that's important every week, but definitely being being

69
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 1: re emphasized this week. Um. You know though, he's an

70
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 1: extremely dangerous player. Um obviously throwing as a quarterback, but

71
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 1: running as well as a running back. So it's an

72
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 1: extra skill player for them on the field in terms

73
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 1: of a very dangerous, dangerous player to run or throw.

74
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 1: So it's it's tough to defend. Um. You know, everybody,

75
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 1: all all players are different. There's strength and weaknesses to

76
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 1: everybody's game, but this guy has has very few weaknesses

77
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 1: that I've seen. If emmy okay again, I don't see

78
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 1: any other hands raised, Please raise your hand. If you

79
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 1: have a question for Steve, I will go with Meghan

80
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 1: O'Brien ahead Megan hey Steve for Lamar and for the

81
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 1: Raven's offense. Overall, the numbers are down a little bit

82
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:22,839
Speaker 1: from last year, but talking to some of the players

83
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 1: this week, they've recognized Lamar's improvements just from his patience

84
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:29,279
Speaker 1: and letting plays evolved. What have you seen from him

85
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 1: as he's progressed and now his second year as a

86
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 1: starter and third year in the league. Um yeah, you know,

87
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 1: obviously I've never been around him, but obviously I'm sure

88
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 1: he's a He's a hard working player who who loves

89
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 1: football and cares about his craft. So with any player

90
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 1: you expect to see improvements and all facets of the game.

91
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 1: He's obviously, you know, he was a great player when

92
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 1: we played against him last year. He's going to be

93
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 1: a great player this year when we play against him,

94
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 1: and however long we play against him, So you know,

95
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:02,279
Speaker 1: all all players should improve. I'm I'm definitely not surprised

96
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 1: that he has improved, which he has, and you know

97
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 1: as a runner and as a passer, Um, I'm sure

98
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:11,480
Speaker 1: running the offense, he's he's improved in that area as well. Um,

99
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:13,840
Speaker 1: but yeah, he does. He does a lot of things

100
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 1: well and he's been doing him well for ever since

101
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 1: we've played him. And if it's like a while ago,

102
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 1: we used to say, oh, a mobile quarterback, but now

103
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 1: every week you have some quarterback that has some sort

104
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:29,039
Speaker 1: of mobility. But what stands out about Lamar and the

105
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:32,839
Speaker 1: way he moves? Um, yeah, I mean you know his

106
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:36,600
Speaker 1: speed is his speed is his second to none out there. Um,

107
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 1: he's got a really good feel for defenders leverage and

108
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 1: playing off leverage and using his blocks and know where

109
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 1: his blogger is going to be in how to play

110
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 1: off that leverage setting up defenders. You know, he's he's

111
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:52,040
Speaker 1: just the dangerous, dangerous player in the open field or

112
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:54,680
Speaker 1: or in a tight space. I mean there's plenty of

113
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:57,840
Speaker 1: clips of him, you know, an inch from the sideline

114
00:05:57,839 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 1: and he's making two guys miss and still getting him

115
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:03,719
Speaker 1: more yards. So um, yeah, he's a very unique player.

116
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:07,719
Speaker 1: He's an extremely dangerous player. And um, as we do

117
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 1: every week, it'll just be important to to keep our

118
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 1: leverage and and not get uh not get fooled by him,

119
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 1: which he's done to he's done to everybody. Hey, has

120
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:30,480
Speaker 1: anybody else have any more questions for Steve wants twice?

121
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:36,480
Speaker 1: So yes, thank you, thank you. Have a good day.
