1
00:00:02,840 --> 00:00:06,239
Speaker 1: Welcome into Raven's press Pass. Today we'll hear from the coordinators,

2
00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:11,360
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator Todd Munkin, defensive coordinator Mike McDonald, and special

3
00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:15,840
Speaker 1: teams coordinator Chris Horton. Let's start with offensive coordinator Todd Munkin.

4
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:25,720
Speaker 2: All right, everybody good, great, all right, that's it perfect, perfect,

5
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:31,880
Speaker 2: that's perfect. Yeah, Washington, Oh man, it was awesome. Awesome

6
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:37,559
Speaker 2: to compete against another team. Different looks kind of heightens

7
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:40,640
Speaker 2: the intensity of a practice. It reminds you of what

8
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 2: this is all about. I mean, it's it's about winning.

9
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:47,360
Speaker 2: It's about competing and uh, winning individually and then ultimately

10
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:48,160
Speaker 2: winning as a team.

11
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:50,239
Speaker 3: But it was really not it was really great. It

12
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:50,839
Speaker 3: was great.

13
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:54,680
Speaker 4: To come into Frank camra the off season. It's like

14
00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 4: a very detail idea what you want to do.

15
00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 5: Offensive look like?

16
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 4: How much did that picture kind of change all once

17
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 4: you get working with guys at Steeple the Gray and

18
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 4: you know see person and person.

19
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:07,199
Speaker 3: All the above.

20
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 2: I mean, you have an idea what you wanted to

21
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:12,759
Speaker 2: look like. It's always a work in progress. We're always

22
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 2: under construction. A player is an offense is as we

23
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 2: still learn each other and strengths and weaknesses.

24
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 3: And it's a little bit harder.

25
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:25,680
Speaker 2: When you don't play a game yet, right, you don't

26
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 2: you don't know that what it'll look like Week twelve,

27
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 2: thirteen fourteen, compared to what it will be to start

28
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 2: that remains to be seen.

29
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:33,840
Speaker 3: I want to talk.

30
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 2: About setting and sending you and team plays and ideas

31
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 2: and plays of a scene, and then you're you know,

32
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 2: receptive and hearing that.

33
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 3: And that's something things you've always done. Talking about that

34
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 3: process a little bit.

35
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 4: Of your listening to your players and the ideas that

36
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 4: they are played as a niche and running well.

37
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 2: First off, if you empower your players, then I don't

38
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 2: say this there they're more you're more receptive of their

39
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:00,120
Speaker 2: ideas and they put more time and effort into it,

40
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 2: not just things that they see, but things that they

41
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 2: may see on film or what's on their mind in

42
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 2: terms of a better way of doing it. Because if

43
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 2: they don't have confidence in what we do, you're really

44
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 2: in trouble. So I think that's a step in the

45
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 2: right direction. And when players have ideas or thoughts or suggestions,

46
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:20,080
Speaker 2: it's been my background of hey.

47
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:20,920
Speaker 3: Let's take a look at it.

48
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 2: Let's take a look at what you see as long

49
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:25,800
Speaker 2: as it's well thought out and I think it fits.

50
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 2: There does come a point where you can't have twenty

51
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 2: eight suggestions for God's sakes.

52
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:33,520
Speaker 3: But the reality is you do want them involved.

53
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 2: You do want them feeling good about the process how

54
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 2: we go about game planning. And once they do that,

55
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 2: then there's, like I said, a certain amount of empowerment

56
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:45,520
Speaker 2: ownership into what we do. And then they feel terrible

57
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 2: when it doesn't work because it was their idea.

58
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 3: They become the oc U. It was your idea. And help.

59
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:56,919
Speaker 6: Y'all you said that you kind of you think of

60
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:58,680
Speaker 6: what you say between sous to give you.

61
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 3: A little more on Bluebell, Ba Nace and that Timestam.

62
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 6: We're to see that right now.

63
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 3: You're developing always.

64
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 4: I mean.

65
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 2: Years ago at the Manning camp, Peyton told one of

66
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 2: our quarterbacks and it was Nick Mullins at Southern miss

67
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:16,799
Speaker 2: I said, what'd you get out of it?

68
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:17,680
Speaker 3: Said Peyton?

69
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:19,919
Speaker 2: Manning said, never get tired to run the same routes

70
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 2: over and over and over. Don't ever get tired of

71
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:24,960
Speaker 2: being elite at the little things like don't ever get

72
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 2: tired of That's how you build a certain chemistry, an

73
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 2: idea of how they're going to come out of their

74
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 2: breaks and win, their body language, what they put into

75
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 2: their route. So I think that's always ongoing since we're

76
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 2: Odell's new year, but Odell is an elite route runner

77
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 2: does take pride in that. So I think as we

78
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 2: continue to go and move forward, I think they'll continue

79
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 2: to build suggestions.

80
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 5: Do you like trick plays or a fan.

81
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 2: Like plays at work? So if that works, then I'm

82
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 2: into trick plays. So I don't I mean, I don't know.

83
00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 2: I mean, it's, uh, we'll see. I mean, you know,

84
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 2: it's usually that's what the players come up with. You know,

85
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 2: that's usually what they like. They've got like the triple

86
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 2: reverse pass, you know, something like that, and they're usually

87
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 2: the ones throwing it.

88
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 3: Just just to say that, have you seen the hands

89
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 3: up thats like there has been a better feel with

90
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 3: memmore and I mean, has there been something like you

91
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 3: did that you've seen the past?

92
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 6: Think?

93
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 2: So, I think so, I think with all of the guys,

94
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 2: Odell's a part of that and the players that have

95
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 2: been out there, I think that comes with reps like

96
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 2: anything comes the same with offensively, the the things we

97
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:36,160
Speaker 2: do in practice that you have success with builds confidence

98
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 2: into calling it. Same with players. The players that you

99
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:41,720
Speaker 2: keep and that you trust show it in practice. So

100
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:43,920
Speaker 2: when you see certain things in practice, it's easy to

101
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 2: carry over and call it in the game. If not,

102
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 2: then you're just guessing. So there's a lot of work

103
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 2: that goes into it. With you just want to see

104
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 2: it run around a little bit. You've seen it for

105
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:56,840
Speaker 2: a couple of days.

106
00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 3: Now, what do you see from you make? What do

107
00:04:58,800 --> 00:04:59,719
Speaker 3: you make what you see?

108
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:01,920
Speaker 2: He Well, we're excited to have him out there, and

109
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 2: so what we've seen so far is to me, a

110
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:10,039
Speaker 2: player that's eager to get going. He loves playing football,

111
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:13,360
Speaker 2: That's what I see. And he's he's being diligent in

112
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:15,920
Speaker 2: what he's missed from a mental standpoint, That's what I like.

113
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 2: He's still building himself up to being able to go

114
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 2: a full practice. But I see diligence. I see a

115
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:24,839
Speaker 2: guy that's eager to get going. He loves playing football.

116
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 5: Be really dynamic out here in practice against the Ravens.

117
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 5: To see him do it against the Commanders, to see

118
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 5: him jut a guy in the first press game.

119
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:34,840
Speaker 3: What does that show in what we see every day?

120
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 3: I mean that that's just it. You know, it's.

121
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 2: Usually a player's elite skill set shows up. Right, That's

122
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:47,040
Speaker 2: a physicality of a player will show up. The ability

123
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 2: to stop on a dime and make people miss. You'll

124
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 2: see that show up. So now, uh, with that, that

125
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:54,839
Speaker 2: is a obviously a strength of his. Now we're working

126
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 2: to refine some of the other things. Uh, that will

127
00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:58,119
Speaker 2: make him a complete player?

128
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 3: All right?

129
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 2: Mark Andrew's highly competitive and astute learner. I mean he

130
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:13,360
Speaker 2: wants to know how we see a concept and he

131
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 2: wants to do whatever he can to help us win.

132
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:18,920
Speaker 2: I mean to me, that's what he's always done. But

133
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:21,840
Speaker 2: you don't see that till you get around him. How

134
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:25,720
Speaker 2: he loves to compete, how you know how he approaches

135
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:27,279
Speaker 2: every day. Is one of the first guys in our

136
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 2: offensive meeting. He's sitting right there, ready to go. He's

137
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 2: wide eyed, he's taking notes and that's impressive.

138
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 3: Back a JK for a.

139
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 6: Second can get from the field and now you're able

140
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:41,280
Speaker 6: to up with them with the team.

141
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,840
Speaker 5: Is there a point where maybe like an idea pops

142
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 5: into your head when you see JK running out there

143
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:50,040
Speaker 5: or a band, What do you see or how does.

144
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:52,160
Speaker 3: Your mind work there?

145
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 6: Sure?

146
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 2: I mean it's hard because it's early, but all players

147
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:57,840
Speaker 2: are like that, including JK. What you see on a

148
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 2: daily basis builds us and do what you want to call. So,

149
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 2: whether it's a matchup player at running back, tight end

150
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 2: or receiver where you feel like they can win on

151
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 2: their own, or you start to see how they run

152
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 2: the football, their skill set I think adds to that.

153
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 2: So with every day, I'll be able to see more

154
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 2: of that. Not that I haven't seen film, but I

155
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 2: haven't seen in person yet. Upstairs, much easier to spread out,

156
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 2: much easier to stay calm.

157
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 3: The emotional side of it is much easier.

158
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 2: Because at the moment you feel like you can scream.

159
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:41,120
Speaker 2: No one's right there, even though you think they can

160
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 2: hear you through the glass. But the reality is it

161
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 2: allows you to stay a lot more focused and try

162
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 2: to keep it as calm as you can.

163
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 3: As calm as you can.

164
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 2: I'm human, so it doesn't mean I don't get frustrated

165
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 2: or I don't make mistakes, but it has always allowed

166
00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 2: me and I can see it better.

167
00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 3: You can see it better in person.

168
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 6: Year carefully about problem, drac.

169
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 2: Well, what we're trying to show is what our guys

170
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 2: know and what we can go to the field and

171
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 2: they can execute. So we're not playing everybody. So when

172
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 2: you're not playing everybody, the group that's out there, what

173
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 2: can they run and execute at a high level.

174
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 3: Does that make sense?

175
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 2: So we're showing what I think they can execute, if

176
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 2: that makes sense at this moment in time.

177
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 1: Next up, defensive coordinator Mike McDonald, How are you navigating?

178
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, I've thought about it, and you know,

179
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 4: I assumed that question was going to happen, but I

180
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 4: think it's an opportunity to one just you know, give

181
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:55,920
Speaker 4: a shout out to Marlon and the things that he's done,

182
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 4: you know, for our for our defense and our team.

183
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:00,679
Speaker 4: I mean, you're talking about a guy that, uh has

184
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 4: been here in the off season, has taken on a

185
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:05,760
Speaker 4: leadership role. He's out there every day, he practices extremely hard,

186
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 4: he practices the right way, and uh, you know, he's

187
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:09,079
Speaker 4: a teach.

188
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 6: He's a teach tape every every practice.

189
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 4: So you know, obviously, you know, we'll see, we'll see

190
00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 4: the length of time that he's gonna miss. We'll miss

191
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 4: him absolutely, But you know, we do have we do

192
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 4: have good players in our back end, and and you know,

193
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 4: the expectation is to come in and and to uh

194
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:25,679
Speaker 4: and to produce and execute and and play the way

195
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:27,960
Speaker 4: that we play. So we'll take it one day at

196
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 4: a time. I'm sure you know there'll be pieces moving

197
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:31,599
Speaker 4: from here from between now and the and you know,

198
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 4: when we get kicked off and see where we're at.

199
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 4: But I think right now we're just trying to figure

200
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 4: out where to where to put all the spots. And

201
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 4: I think he will come into clear focus as uh

202
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:49,800
Speaker 4: as the season approaches. Yeah, we have you know, with Kyle,

203
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 4: it's it's a function of you know, how much how

204
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:54,719
Speaker 4: much we want to move him around on a on

205
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 4: a per play basis. You know, it's not easy going

206
00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 4: from one one position to another. If you can package it,

207
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 4: uh to make a little cleaner with you know, and

208
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 4: someone whoever fills in for his role if we do,

209
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:06,280
Speaker 4: if and when we do move him, you know, that's

210
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:07,959
Speaker 4: something else that we're considering as well. So it's not

211
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:10,559
Speaker 4: just Kyle that we're you know, we're uh, we're considering

212
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 4: when we're talking about moving him.

213
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:14,599
Speaker 2: You've had somewhere in cars from and I've seen a

214
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:17,600
Speaker 2: lot of Hardarius Washington that can nick that's something how

215
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 2: do you think he's here that there's overall about the Yeah.

216
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 4: Ur Darius has done a great job, and I think

217
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:26,440
Speaker 4: he really felt him in the game. He plays extremely fast,

218
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:29,199
Speaker 4: he plays decisive. You know, he's not the biggest h

219
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 4: d B of all time, but he throws his body

220
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 4: around and he doesn't play little. You know, he plays

221
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 4: like he plays like a big player. So you know,

222
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 4: I give him credit for that. He's a tough player,

223
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:40,320
Speaker 4: and uh, you know, he's very He's a lot more

224
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 4: consistent this year, and I'd say that this time last year.

225
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:44,959
Speaker 4: I think he'd tell you the same thing. So H

226
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 4: pleads with with AD's progress for sure, John Seymour, H,

227
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:53,959
Speaker 4: I think he's had a great camp. You know, I

228
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:56,839
Speaker 4: think you put him in the ar Darius conversation of

229
00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 4: just being more consistent. I think he's playing more confidently

230
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 4: and especially as man de man techniques. But he's a

231
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 4: guy that you know, he's just he's he's had a s's,

232
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 4: he's kind of had been in a few places. He's

233
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:10,839
Speaker 4: been a great special teams player. And you know, I'm

234
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 4: sure that you tell you that he's excited about having

235
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 4: an opportunity to expand his role on defense. So you know, when, if,

236
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 4: and when his opportunity comes, you know, I expect him

237
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 4: to be out there making plays just like everybody else.

238
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 1: Like maybe the the sip, the line of the quarterback

239
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 1: death that.

240
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 5: You get really the safeties and marks child, How confident

241
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:26,400
Speaker 5: are usual those guys?

242
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:28,679
Speaker 3: Sometimes the way to pick up the slider going you

243
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 3: see the jor handed a quarterback.

244
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:33,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I would say I'm extremely confident for

245
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:35,120
Speaker 4: them to go in and play.

246
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:35,680
Speaker 6: Really good football.

247
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 4: I wouldn't say they got to pick up any slack,

248
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 4: you know. I just you start trying to do things

249
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:42,559
Speaker 4: outside of what we're asking you to do within this scheme.

250
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 4: I think that's when you get when you get holes

251
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:46,960
Speaker 4: and and uh and in seams that you're not trying

252
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:49,960
Speaker 4: to create. So they're doing a great job. Uh, they've

253
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:52,400
Speaker 4: had both had great camps and have a lot of

254
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:54,439
Speaker 4: confidence in those guys. But I think it's gonna be

255
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 4: exciting to watch them on the game. But the expectation

256
00:11:56,480 --> 00:12:00,719
Speaker 4: is not to do anything extra but just do their jobs.

257
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:06,880
Speaker 3: Alid just kind of stood out kind of hand back.

258
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 4: Well, I mean, like to your to your point, James,

259
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:16,959
Speaker 4: this is first camp. I mean he's really he really

260
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:19,960
Speaker 4: is a rookie, I mean in really almost every matter

261
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 4: of the of the words. So we're preaching consistency, just

262
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 4: like we did with with a DAFE last year, and

263
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 4: focusing on day to day routine, Okay, the process, taking

264
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 4: it snap by snap, no hide, don't get too high,

265
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:36,319
Speaker 4: don't get too low. It's a long season and and

266
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:38,240
Speaker 4: we want him out there, you know, for the long haul.

267
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:41,839
Speaker 4: So you know, the expectation is is that, uh, he's

268
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 4: going to be able to produce for us, you know, consistently.

269
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:46,680
Speaker 4: So that's the message that we're trying to get get

270
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:49,680
Speaker 4: get towards him. And I think he's accepting it. And uh,

271
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 4: you know i'd say, I'd say for being a rookie,

272
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:57,520
Speaker 4: it's a it's a good first good camp, you know. Yeah,

273
00:12:57,520 --> 00:12:59,319
Speaker 4: I would just piggyback on my answer there. I think

274
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:03,520
Speaker 4: you do see a daily focus from him on what

275
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:06,200
Speaker 4: we're asking him to do within the defense. I say,

276
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:09,320
Speaker 4: his his rush is a lot more decisive. I think

277
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:12,319
Speaker 4: you see a more consistent plan on a down in

278
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 4: and down out basis. And uh, you know, the message

279
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:16,960
Speaker 4: to him is you know I told the other day,

280
00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 4: is you know, let's can you do it for fifty

281
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:20,760
Speaker 4: five plays. Can you do it for sixty plays? That's

282
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 4: a challenge and I and I think he's taken that

283
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:25,440
Speaker 4: on head on. So I'm proud of his approach there

284
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 4: and his mentality. But we'll see that's that's the next step.

285
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:30,440
Speaker 2: For him yet.

286
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:47,800
Speaker 6: But give it a yeah.

287
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:50,280
Speaker 4: Well, it's the hand that we've been dealt, so you know,

288
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:52,600
Speaker 4: we got to take it on head on and we're rolling,

289
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:52,800
Speaker 4: you know.

290
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:53,760
Speaker 3: I mean, that's if you take it.

291
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:55,679
Speaker 4: If you have a different approach, then you know all

292
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:58,560
Speaker 4: you're doing is just wasting time. But to your point,

293
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:00,240
Speaker 4: you know, there's certain things that we wanted to get

294
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:02,840
Speaker 4: to at this point if you would have considered everyone

295
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:05,079
Speaker 4: was available, you know, so you got to kind of

296
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:08,079
Speaker 4: put your ego aside and table those things. And for

297
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:10,160
Speaker 4: certain guys, based on where their development is, you know,

298
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:12,959
Speaker 4: you have to evaluate that. And you know, now you're

299
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:14,559
Speaker 4: looking at hey, let's you know, let's make sure we're

300
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:16,319
Speaker 4: doing all the stuff and everybody's on the same page.

301
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:18,199
Speaker 4: We'll get to the stuff that we want to get

302
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 4: to in time when it's the correct time. But right now,

303
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 4: time is to get everybody, get everybody rolling up to

304
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:23,360
Speaker 4: speed for sure.

305
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 1: And lastly, special teams coordinator Chris Horton.

306
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:32,240
Speaker 7: Good to see everyone today. Hope everyone's doing well. Just

307
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:34,520
Speaker 7: a quick little recap from the game. It seems like

308
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 7: it was forever ago, but I'll just try to give

309
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:38,040
Speaker 7: you as much as I can remember. I thought, I

310
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 7: thought all the guys went out there, they play well,

311
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:43,440
Speaker 7: they compete it. We gave him an opportunity to try to,

312
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 7: you know, make some plays. We didn't really have that

313
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:49,480
Speaker 7: many opportunities in the part return game. You know, one

314
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:51,240
Speaker 7: of the glaring moments we did put a ball on

315
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:54,600
Speaker 7: the ground. Obviously we've been coaching our butt offs with that.

316
00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 7: James knows, you know, what we expect whenever he's back there.

317
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:01,760
Speaker 7: Ball security first. The last two days have been really

318
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:04,480
Speaker 7: good for us. I thought the commanders came in here

319
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:05,960
Speaker 7: and really did a good job and gave us a

320
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:08,240
Speaker 7: great look. I thought we got some really good punt

321
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 7: and punt return work, which is what we look forward to,

322
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:13,480
Speaker 7: is what we needed, and we got some young guys

323
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 7: doing some good things. Just really looking forward to seeing

324
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:18,360
Speaker 7: those guys go out on Monday night and perform at

325
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 7: a high level. Questions you see, I'm keeping as you know,

326
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:26,840
Speaker 7: ke Keaton's doing a great job. We got him back

327
00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 7: there for a reason. He's got he's got elite speed,

328
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:31,800
Speaker 7: he's got great vision, and his ball.

329
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 6: Security is outstanding.

330
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 2: Uh.

331
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:35,800
Speaker 7: You know, so we're just gonna continue to give him

332
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:38,720
Speaker 7: opportunities back there. Uh. We got some other guys that

333
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 7: will also put back there this week and give opportunities

334
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:43,440
Speaker 7: to But Keaton's doing a great job. We put him

335
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:45,560
Speaker 7: at gunner, We're letting him, you know, we're letting him

336
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:47,840
Speaker 7: play out there. We put him as an inside player

337
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 7: on kickoff and just allowing him to utilize his skill set,

338
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:54,680
Speaker 7: you know, his speed, his physicality whenever he's out there.

339
00:15:59,040 --> 00:15:59,720
Speaker 6: You know, Jeff I do.

340
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:02,320
Speaker 7: I thought Jordan came out. He punted the ball very well.

341
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 7: He had great hang time on those punts. He gave

342
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 7: our gave our coverage an opportunity to get down the field. Obviously,

343
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 7: there's some things that we're going to continue to work on,

344
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 7: uh as far as keeping the ball out of the

345
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 7: middle of the field. But when the ball was in

346
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:17,440
Speaker 7: the middle of the field, he had hang times which

347
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:19,560
Speaker 7: allowed our guys to get down the field and uh

348
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:20,520
Speaker 7: and and cover.

349
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:22,960
Speaker 6: So I'm really pleased where Jordan is. And obviously we're

350
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 6: going to continue to work.

351
00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 3: Christ you've spoken high. We have Tyler rots from them.

352
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:28,520
Speaker 3: He arrived with pretty pleased to see you've seen him

353
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:29,720
Speaker 3: practice carry over to the game.

354
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:30,480
Speaker 6: Did you see it?

355
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:30,760
Speaker 3: Kind of?

356
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:32,920
Speaker 6: You know, practice has carried over to the games.

357
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:34,720
Speaker 7: And again I thought, uh, you know, in the preseason

358
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:36,560
Speaker 7: games you don't really get as many rushes.

359
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 6: But I thought, the last two days, what we got

360
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:39,520
Speaker 6: out of him.

361
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:41,600
Speaker 7: From the commanders and what we've seen from the commanders

362
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 7: has really just really proven our proven ourselves right that

363
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:47,720
Speaker 7: this guy, this guy can get it done. And I thought,

364
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:50,080
Speaker 7: I thought his field goal snap on that sixty yard er, man,

365
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:53,040
Speaker 7: it was from snap to hold to the to the kick,

366
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:53,880
Speaker 7: it was outstanding.

367
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:58,720
Speaker 4: When contacts gonna get on limited at what are you

368
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:00,840
Speaker 4: looking for when you when you're value waiting young guys

369
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:04,520
Speaker 4: were good opera guys, you might work, you.

370
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:05,399
Speaker 6: Know, we're just looking for that.

371
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 7: We're looking for guys that fly around, play with a

372
00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 7: play with high level of intensity, play with good effort,

373
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:14,199
Speaker 7: play with physicality, and just really see who could who

374
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:17,479
Speaker 7: could execute under pressure and not make the minimal mistakes. Uh,

375
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:20,480
Speaker 7: And then we will give those guys opportunities throughout the

376
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:22,600
Speaker 7: game to kind of really go cover some kicks and

377
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:24,200
Speaker 7: make some plays, and we just want to see guys

378
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:25,000
Speaker 7: play the raven way.

379
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:28,520
Speaker 5: Justin's sixty yards, it looks like it could have been

380
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:33,040
Speaker 5: further from significantly longer. You all messit measure exit velocity

381
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:35,680
Speaker 5: or how far kicks could have gone, where they could

382
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:36,080
Speaker 5: have been made.

383
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:38,320
Speaker 3: Like is there an analytics pression all that kind of

384
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 3: stuff you take.

385
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:41,320
Speaker 7: It, you know Roun there probably is, But I don't

386
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:43,480
Speaker 7: think when when we're in the game, I don't think

387
00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:44,480
Speaker 7: Randy's thinking about that.

388
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:45,800
Speaker 6: I think, uh, throughout the.

389
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:49,040
Speaker 7: Pregame, Randy knows Tuck's line and he's he's like, hey,

390
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:50,960
Speaker 7: we can we we can be good from here. And

391
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:53,080
Speaker 7: we line up there, we kicked the ball and you know,

392
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:55,239
Speaker 7: we put Tuck out there, he's gonna expect to make

393
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:57,000
Speaker 7: the kick. And it was a it was a great

394
00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:57,359
Speaker 7: night for.

395
00:17:57,400 --> 00:17:59,160
Speaker 3: It personally seen from.

396
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 4: Tyler Walls.

397
00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:12,840
Speaker 7: Again, all these guys are doing a really good job,

398
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:16,679
Speaker 7: specifically Thailand. You know, Thailand's in his third year, right

399
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 7: and and if if we just remember when Tailand was

400
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:21,679
Speaker 7: a rookie man, he played, he played lights out for us,

401
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:24,280
Speaker 7: and then last year it wasn't he wasn't so great

402
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:26,440
Speaker 7: for him, and I think this year he's come back

403
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:29,640
Speaker 7: and he's putting himself, given himself a great opportunity again

404
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:32,480
Speaker 7: to really go out and uh excel on special teams.

405
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:34,679
Speaker 7: As far as some of the other guys, what I'm

406
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:37,000
Speaker 7: seeing from from Dante and Sean, you know, I just

407
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:39,160
Speaker 7: want those guys to come out there and just be physical,

408
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:42,720
Speaker 7: run around, put their helmet on somebody, and just play

409
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:43,639
Speaker 7: our style of football.

410
00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:44,920
Speaker 6: And they've done a really good job with that.
