1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:01,440
Speaker 1: It's been good to get out here.

2
00:00:01,480 --> 00:00:03,680
Speaker 2: I mean really just having them in the building. It's

3
00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:07,680
Speaker 2: a new couple of days for everybody. Right just where

4
00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:10,719
Speaker 2: they go, where's this meeting room, where is this located?

5
00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:12,880
Speaker 2: I mean that all starts to creep in. It's like

6
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:15,040
Speaker 2: being a freshman in high school all over again for

7
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:15,960
Speaker 2: a lot of these guys.

8
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:19,160
Speaker 1: And but the energy has been good, you know, the guys.

9
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:22,280
Speaker 2: I heard we're doing walkthroughs at the hotel the night

10
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:25,960
Speaker 2: before and you know, hopefully some of the leadership out

11
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:27,680
Speaker 2: of these guys will continue to rise.

12
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:29,920
Speaker 1: But the energy was good for the last two days.

13
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:34,040
Speaker 1: I know it's early. But this Travis Hunter, as advertised, you.

14
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:37,400
Speaker 2: Know, I would assume, you know, and just watching ran

15
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:39,840
Speaker 2: a route yesterday where a shoe came off and didn't

16
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:42,879
Speaker 2: quite affect him, made a great catch. And it's more

17
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:47,160
Speaker 2: just his presence, right and the energy that he does provide,

18
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:49,640
Speaker 2: you know, both in the classroom, in the meeting rooms

19
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:51,560
Speaker 2: and also here on the field.

20
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:54,040
Speaker 1: So really hard to tell in this kind of setting,

21
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 1: though we seen him get we saw him get some

22
00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 1: extra work after practice, right during practice. Just how important

23
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 1: is that good to be just working with Edgar and

24
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 1: you know about.

25
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:05,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, building camaraderie between the two of those guys is

26
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 2: going to be really important. The amount of time that

27
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:10,320
Speaker 2: they're obviously being able to spend during this time has

28
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 2: been really beneficial. And at the end of the day,

29
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:15,679
Speaker 2: it's about relationships.

30
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:17,320
Speaker 1: So for him to be able to get.

31
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 2: Relationships with all the coaches, right, but specifically the extra time.

32
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 2: And he's the type of guy that puts it in

33
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 2: on his own when he is away from the building,

34
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:27,679
Speaker 2: and so the more he can do and continue to

35
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:29,760
Speaker 2: do that will only benefit us moving forward.

36
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 1: You mentioned energy a couple of times. Just how about this.

37
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 1: How many people are here for rookie anything. I know,

38
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:36,679
Speaker 1: this is awesome.

39
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:39,200
Speaker 2: I you know, thank the fans and everybody for putting

40
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 2: this on within the organization.

41
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:44,400
Speaker 1: I think it's great to have the fan base out here.

42
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 2: You could definitely feel the players yesterday there was a

43
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 2: little bit of nerves, right it's their first day out

44
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 2: on the grass with new coaches, and so the sense

45
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 2: of urgencies up and as when the guys are there,

46
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 2: you start to see some mistakes and miscommunications happen. Today

47
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 2: a lot cleaner. You could feel the energy from the

48
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 2: fans and uh, you know, they were obviously gassed up

49
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:08,639
Speaker 2: to have the people around coach. You're a quarterback coaches

50
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 2: kid head against quarterback coaches, Kah, Is there.

51
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 1: A little bit of a bond there, uh that that

52
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:16,360
Speaker 1: you sent Sord? Yeah? Not quite.

53
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:18,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I mean we'll get there, right, I mean,

54
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 2: you know, still getting to know him, just just met him,

55
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 2: hadn't I'll be honest, I hadn't watched a ton of

56
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 2: his tape before we ended up bringing him in, and

57
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:27,800
Speaker 2: then once we did, I.

58
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 1: Got to talk to him.

59
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:30,640
Speaker 2: John Gruden actually hit me up about him, shot me

60
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 2: a text. I think they spent some time together during

61
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 2: the off season, and so you can definitely see the

62
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,960
Speaker 2: coaches kid mentality. He did a great job of calling

63
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 2: the plays having command. I mean we weren't just out

64
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,920
Speaker 2: there calling one play. I mean we were canning plays

65
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 2: to play calls. He was handling all that stuff. Well, so, uh,

66
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:51,359
Speaker 2: time will tell, but you know, definitely a good guy

67
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:53,240
Speaker 2: to start off with. I know we talked about Travis

68
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 2: starting on offense, and that's obviously what he's done for

69
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:55,800
Speaker 2: two days.

70
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 1: When is when does he get start getting reps on defense?

71
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 1: Next week? Next week? Yeah, next week?

72
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, he'll be able to get integrated next week on

73
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:05,239
Speaker 2: the defensive side of the ball. We just kind of

74
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 2: ended up making a decision that from yesterday to today,

75
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 2: we wanted to be able to clean up some of

76
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 2: the things that we may have been able to miss yesterday,

77
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 2: get extra reps on the offensive side of the ball,

78
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 2: and next week he'll start to roll on defense.

79
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:24,919
Speaker 1: Sort of a feel for the defensive ste the playbook.

80
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:28,119
Speaker 2: Absolutely yeah, he's been able to dive in and learn

81
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 2: some of our three deep coverages what do we call

82
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 2: our three deep coverages?

83
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 1: On the outside?

84
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 2: If he has to be manned up on the back

85
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 2: side of a three by one, he knows all those

86
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 2: calls already. So at the end of the day, it's

87
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 2: going to be about on the defensive side of the ball,

88
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 2: communication right. The technique and fundamentals we will continue to

89
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 2: harp on, but it's really about being on the same

90
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 2: page as the rest of the guys in the back

91
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 2: end from a communication standpoint, and the rest will kind

92
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:56,839
Speaker 2: of take care of itself. Is the most important thing

93
00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 2: for him and maybe for all the he's too just

94
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 2: a kind of play yeah, get yeah, as much as

95
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 2: they can do. It's like for every position how much

96
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 2: can they handle right, how much can they do? How

97
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 2: many different positions can you actually end up playing and learning?

98
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:18,239
Speaker 2: And for Travis specifically, he's obviously having to learn both

99
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:19,159
Speaker 2: sides of the ball.

100
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 1: While you know, he's a football smart guy, man, he

101
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 1: is a smart dude. The game makes sense to him.

102
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,160
Speaker 2: And so now it's just about putting in that time,

103
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 2: that extra time that he's going to have to do

104
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 2: in order to be successful to play even one side

105
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 2: of the ball at this level. And so he knows

106
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 2: what's cut out for him coming up. You guys spent

107
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 2: a ton of time with him before draft. Are you

108
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:45,280
Speaker 2: learning about his giant, over the top personality or did

109
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 2: that show up in some regards leading into the draft? Now?

110
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 2: You know when he when he got here after after

111
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:53,159
Speaker 2: the draft, you know, we got to hang out with

112
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 2: him for for a little bit there, and you felt

113
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 2: it right away, right you did.

114
00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 1: You felt that infectious.

115
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:00,719
Speaker 2: Smile that he has that he pro es and brings

116
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:05,599
Speaker 2: into the building, very serious about football, very serious about

117
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 2: his process in order to uh put himself in a

118
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 2: position to ultimately just be in a physical shape to

119
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:14,839
Speaker 2: be able to do this and to run forever and

120
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 2: to have.

121
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:17,359
Speaker 1: The stamina and strength to be able to do this

122
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:18,239
Speaker 1: at a high level.

123
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 2: But you see him out there dancing and having fun

124
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 2: and that's really cool to see. You know, we want

125
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 2: to see some more of that. And when he goes

126
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:27,599
Speaker 2: out there and he's doing his thing, he is serious

127
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 2: about this process.

128
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:32,159
Speaker 1: I didn't see Danny struck out out there.

129
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:34,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think he went for a wedding. I think

130
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:36,680
Speaker 2: he had a wedding to go to, so he was here. Yes,

131
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:38,720
Speaker 2: he was here and he had to go take off

132
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 2: for a family wedding.

133
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 1: Yeah. Oxle versus Benn again.

134
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:45,599
Speaker 2: Other than tracks, of course, what are the other rookies

135
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 2: that are really impressed here? I think Jack Kaiser first

136
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 2: and foremost on the defensive side of the ball. Just

137
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:56,040
Speaker 2: from a diligent standpoint, you could tell he's already had

138
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 2: some of those leadership qualities that you look for. He

139
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 2: is in really good physical shape coming into camp here

140
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 2: this weekend. I think Caleb Brandsaw as well stood out

141
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:10,040
Speaker 2: on the defensive secondary. Wyatt Milam did a nice job

142
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 2: and the drills over the course of the last two days,

143
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 2: and you know, really all these guys did a great job.

144
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 2: You know, we'll be able to go watch the tape

145
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 2: from today. A lot of mistakes and things that did

146
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 2: happen to occur yesterday, but that's part of it. But overall,

147
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:27,479
Speaker 2: really appreciate their energy and enthusiasm with the with the

148
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 2: phases that you've already had with the veterans in this

149
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 2: group right here.

150
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 1: How important is it to set the tone for a you.

151
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 2: He's the coach of what you're trying to get across,

152
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 2: and it's just a big time in terms of those

153
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 2: meetings and messages. Yeah, I think over the course of

154
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 2: the last few weeks with the vets, we've been able

155
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 2: to kind of install not only the playbooks, the schemes,

156
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:50,160
Speaker 2: the fundamentals and the techniques, but also our culture and

157
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 2: our modes of operation, the way.

158
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 1: That we want to communicate, the way that we end

159
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 1: up wanting to play the game.

160
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:58,279
Speaker 2: And so we've now been able to have those same

161
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 2: meetings with the rookies over the last two days, and

162
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 2: so the goal is to be able to continue to

163
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:06,480
Speaker 2: catch them up on some of those, you know, just

164
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 2: the way we want to act, the way we want

165
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 2: to talk, the way we want to communicate if maybe

166
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 2: something comes up, and how these things end up carrying

167
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 2: out onto the grass those That's really been the main

168
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 2: focus with the team meetings with the rookies. That was

169
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 2: also the emphasis with the vets before we ended up

170
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 2: breaking here for this weekend. So once we get back

171
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 2: into Monday, these guys will be integrated and be rolling

172
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 2: and we'll have a lot more players in that meeting.

173
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 1: Room before William, Will you guys be doing joint practices?

174
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 1: I hope, so we'll see.

175
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:39,240
Speaker 2: It all kind of depends on the schedule and the

176
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:41,119
Speaker 2: league and all that. We haven't been able to get

177
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:46,800
Speaker 2: that information quite yet. We'll continue to utilize any asset

178
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 2: we can to be able to make that work.

179
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 1: But we've had some communication comes out comes out Wednesday.

180
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 1: You guys have a lot on the West Coast trips.

181
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 2: Did you request to the league to do anything back

182
00:07:57,520 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 2: to back or do you want to avoid that now?

183
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:01,120
Speaker 2: You know, I kind of haven't really requested much. I

184
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 2: let Tony Boselli handle that stuff. But no, it's more

185
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 2: so just hey, let's remain fluid, right. We have to

186
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 2: understand that, yes, we can ask for some things, but

187
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 2: ultimately it's the league's decision and we got to have

188
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:17,120
Speaker 2: the mindset to go play anybody anytime, anyplace, everywhere, I.

189
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 1: Can see eleven on eleven team periods. Why it was

190
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 1: important for you guys to make sure you can see that, Yeah,

191
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 1: just more.

192
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 2: You know, we call that an alignment assignment period where

193
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 2: you know we can we've installed plays right on both

194
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 2: sides of the ball, concepts, formations, motions, shifts defensively, you know,

195
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 2: calls right adjustments to these formations and motions and shifts,

196
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 2: and so it was just a good op to kind

197
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:45,640
Speaker 2: of get out there, get the huddle or I mean,

198
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:48,440
Speaker 2: it's wild when you pull these guys on how many

199
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 2: of the been in the huddle recently and how many

200
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 2: have heard of verbal cadence recently?

201
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 1: It's very minimal. So we are actually teaching.

202
00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 2: This is the huddle, this is where you line up

203
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 2: in the huddle, this is how we break the huddle,

204
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 2: and this is a verbal cadence. And so that is

205
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:06,720
Speaker 2: like starting at you know, ground zero in a lot

206
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 2: of ways. So didn't really feel like it was fully

207
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 2: necessary to come and do true competitive eleven on eleven,

208
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 2: But at the end of the day, I think we

209
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 2: got something out of it.

210
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,120
Speaker 1: All good Thanks guys,
