Speaker 1: See your body language. Guess your relaxed. Who's being enjoying
Speaker 1: yourself out there? You'd reading on pointing yourself. Yeah, Um,
Speaker 1: you know, I think it's one of those things just
Speaker 1: being here last year, you know, like I said, having
Speaker 1: a feel for this locker room, knowing the guys. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I just feel much more comfortable in the huddle of
Speaker 1: speaking to those guys on the field with those guys,
Speaker 1: and now I just feel much more comfortable in the
Speaker 1: building here, to be honest, And I think that's probably why,
Speaker 1: you know, it probably seems like I am a little
Speaker 1: more relaxed than last year, you know. And obviously you
Speaker 1: know last year, coming off both knew surgeries, not having
Speaker 1: played football in a year and a half, you know,
Speaker 1: it was a little bit stressful at times to try
Speaker 1: to get myself back into the rhythm of football. See,
Speaker 1: based on everything that's happened this offseason have been you know,
Speaker 1: your desire probably to move on. How did you get
Speaker 1: to a point who you are more part you are
Speaker 1: more relaxed considering the uncertain Um. Yeah, like I said,
Speaker 1: I think I just learned you just take it day
Speaker 1: by day and that's really all that you know. I'm
Speaker 1: worried about is coming out here each day and getting better. Um.
Speaker 1: No one can predict the future. No one knows what
Speaker 1: the future holds, you know. Um, And so I think
Speaker 1: that you learned to just enjoy every day and enjoy
Speaker 1: the process, and you know, whatever happens happens. And that's
Speaker 1: kind of my mindset. Was it more getack to the future.
Speaker 1: Was it more coming off the injury or chasing a
Speaker 1: change or combination both that they did? Yeah, I think
Speaker 1: it was probably a combination of both. Um. You know, obviously,
Speaker 1: anytime you change teams, you know, having to spend the
Speaker 1: time building those relationships. You know, it takes a lot
Speaker 1: of time to do that. And then you know, coming
Speaker 1: off the injury, not being able to be on the
Speaker 1: field during spring, during OTA's you know, it makes it
Speaker 1: even harder to build those relationships because you're not going
Speaker 1: through practice with the guys. So I think it was
Speaker 1: probably a combination of both of those things. Last year,
Speaker 1: what's your play and money? Yeah, I saw that run yesterday,
Speaker 1: didn't you. Yeah, you know, I'm comfortable with it. You know, obviously,
Speaker 1: I think I'm moving better than I was last year.
Speaker 1: You know, it's one of those things you know, I've
Speaker 1: learned now that you know, you get what you can
Speaker 1: and you get down. I mean, you know, by no
Speaker 1: means do I think I'm gonna pull the ball and
Speaker 1: you know, take it fifty yards for a touchdown. But
Speaker 1: you know, if I can get five ten yards in
Speaker 1: a first down and get down, obviously that's really beneficial
Speaker 1: to the offense and helps us sea what aspects of
Speaker 1: this office really is plenty to the streets that you
Speaker 1: see it right now. But at the same token, what
Speaker 1: are some things that you still might struggle with a
Speaker 1: little bit? Um, you know, I think just probably the
Speaker 1: rhythm of everything. You know, it's very similar to what
Speaker 1: I was doing with Pat and Saint Louis, you know,
Speaker 1: as far as a lot of the West Coast co concepts,
Speaker 1: which I really enjoy because it's all about timing and rhythm,
Speaker 1: you know, and your feet kind of take you home,
Speaker 1: which you know, as long as my feet are good,
Speaker 1: you know, the ball usually goes to the right place. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, I think we're still kind of working through
Speaker 1: some things as far as you know, when I'm expecting
Speaker 1: guys to run out, when I'm expecting them to see
Speaker 1: at what angles I'm expecting them to take first different coverages.
Speaker 1: And I think anytime you go through a new offense,
Speaker 1: that's one of those things. It takes time. You know.
Speaker 1: It's not like you're going to come out the first
Speaker 1: day and you're going to know exactly, um, you know,
Speaker 1: where everyone's going to be. You know. It's one thing
Speaker 1: to talk about it in the install where we talk
Speaker 1: about it on paper, but to come out here and
Speaker 1: to really get a feel for how everyone is seeing
Speaker 1: concepts and seeing route front. You know. I think we've had,
Speaker 1: you know, a few times where you know, they should
Speaker 1: have been completions, but we're just not quite on the
Speaker 1: same page. Yet, easier offers to be good it. Um.
Speaker 1: You know, it's definitely easier to come to the side
Speaker 1: and talk about plays, you know, just because you do
Speaker 1: have more time. Um. And then when we huddle, obviously
Speaker 1: you can hit guys with key points on certain plays,
Speaker 1: maybe new plays that we install the night before, you know,
Speaker 1: things that kind of need to be hammered home, um.
Speaker 1: You know. But it is nice to be able to
Speaker 1: come together to huddle, to have the time after you
Speaker 1: you know, have a set to talk to people and
Speaker 1: really kind of get on the same page the same
Speaker 1: Shaws defensive lineman Michael Bennett. There's an interview with ESPN.
Speaker 1: He he called you the desk. Did you hear about it?
Speaker 1: He pubby the best quarterback in the NFL? How to
Speaker 1: start pastica? Give an your reaction to that? Uh no,
Speaker 1: not really. You're a week the way now for the
Speaker 1: first two seats of game. How much are you even
Speaker 1: gonna be able to launch? Not you, but just the
Speaker 1: team with general bom the playbook? How much is the offense?
Speaker 1: Would you guys be able to employ it? For a skateboard?
Speaker 1: It was the comfort level point, But um, yeah, you
Speaker 1: probably have to ask Doug. You know, I'm sure going
Speaker 1: into week one, you know, we're not going to have
Speaker 1: the whole playbook, and I don't think we want to
Speaker 1: show a lot of things, so I'm sure it'll be
Speaker 1: pretty simple. But then again, um, you know, I haven't
Speaker 1: been around him, so I don't know what his philosophy is.
Speaker 1: But you know, we've had heavy installs now for you know,
Speaker 1: seven or eight days, and so the majority of the
Speaker 1: offense is in. I would say there's still a few
Speaker 1: things that you know are going to go in in
Speaker 1: the next week or so. But um, you know, I
Speaker 1: would say by the time next Thursday gets here, most
Speaker 1: the offense will be in. Whether it's on the call sheet,
Speaker 1: I don't really know. So when you go against you
Speaker 1: once defensively, obviously going against malcol Rock, the hope of
Speaker 1: defensive is of those guys will really be a factor.
Speaker 1: What do you see when you go against them? How
Speaker 1: quickly did they match? Talk about what you're seeing obviously. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think those guys are playing really well right now.
Speaker 1: You know. I think it's uh, you know, one of
Speaker 1: the better, if not the best, probably safety duo in
Speaker 1: the league. Um, you know, it just seems like they
Speaker 1: cover a lot of range in the back end. You know,
Speaker 1: whoever's in the middle of the field back there. They're deep,
Speaker 1: they're rangey, they're covering a lot of ground, they're taking
Speaker 1: a lot of things away. But you know, I think
Speaker 1: the good thing about both those guys is when they
Speaker 1: come down to play a tight end or a slot receiver, Uh,
Speaker 1: they're tough to be I mean it's not like we
Speaker 1: look out there and think, oh, that's an easy matchup.
Speaker 1: You know how you do it with most safeties. I mean,
Speaker 1: they're really good cover guys and I think they've showed
Speaker 1: it is that making you better? You think, you know,
Speaker 1: for an offense, drop pass and struggle last year, you're
Speaker 1: like going up against the safeties and making you guys
Speaker 1: that are right now? Oh absolutely, you know. I think
Speaker 1: he would much rather have things tough in practice than
Speaker 1: get to a game and realize whoa like, practice has
Speaker 1: been really easy, This is really tough. So you know,
Speaker 1: I think as many challenging situations as we can put
Speaker 1: ourselves during practice, I think it makes you better. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we ahead of a little bit. Yeah, he stands out,
Speaker 1: Yeah he does. You know, I think he's just got
Speaker 1: a great feel for the game. You know, he's one
Speaker 1: of those guys he's a good route runner, but you know,
Speaker 1: not just that, his ability to find zones, to recognize coverage,
Speaker 1: to know whether you know he's working off the man
Speaker 1: in front of him or if he's working on a
Speaker 1: man in the second level. And I think he's just
Speaker 1: got a really good natural feel, um, you know, for
Speaker 1: how to find soft spots in a defense. And he's
Speaker 1: made a lot of plays for us too. What have
Speaker 1: you seen so far? He's obviously a young guy, school
Speaker 1: justin in the NFL. From him that you feel like
Speaker 1: he needs to work on. Yeah, I think Carson's done
Speaker 1: a great job. You know, obviously, anytime you come into
Speaker 1: this league as a rookie, Um, it's not easy, especially
Speaker 1: at the quarterback business, and especially you know, in this
Speaker 1: offense with just a lot of information being thrown at you.
Speaker 1: But you know, he's shown that he can handle it.
Speaker 1: You know, I think he does a great job at
Speaker 1: taking things from the meeting room to the practice field.
Speaker 1: You know, it seems like he gets better every day.
Speaker 1: So I've been really impressed with him. That's two more
Speaker 1: questions or so. And if you said to Dog and
Speaker 1: the Frank, look, I'd be most effective if I had
Speaker 1: to play the call left like, is there a certain
Speaker 1: amount of time you need at the play plot where
Speaker 1: you're like, now I can adjust. Um, you know, I'm
Speaker 1: sure they're both very aware of that. I mean, they
Speaker 1: both played quarterback, they've both called plays. I think they
Speaker 1: understand that. Um. You know, I'm not sure if there's
Speaker 1: really a certain number. You know, obviously, depending on if
Speaker 1: you're substituting or changing the personnel groups, you know, it
Speaker 1: could affect at what time the play gets in. But
Speaker 1: you know, I think, like I said the other days,
Speaker 1: sufficiently as we can do it, you know, I think
Speaker 1: the more time you have, the better, you know, And
Speaker 1: even though we're not playing with a no huddle style,
Speaker 1: I think you can still put pressure on the defense,
Speaker 1: you know, with the tempo that you play at. So
Speaker 1: you know, our goal is to get in and out
Speaker 1: of the hudle as fast as possible, you know, and
Speaker 1: put pressure on the defense in that regard. Lore, guys
Speaker 1: we just talked about Frank and play the position. How
Speaker 1: much it advantages that for you having a coach of
Speaker 1: a quarterback room offensive quarterback, Yeah, it's great. Um, you know,
Speaker 1: having those guys who understand what it's like to have
Speaker 1: to make those decisions. You know, there's a big difference
Speaker 1: in putting a play in and saying, oh, I think
Speaker 1: it's gonna work like this, you know, the balls you
Speaker 1: go here than actually getting out on the field and
Speaker 1: seeing what it looks like and having to make that decision.
Speaker 1: And both of those guys having done that, I think,
Speaker 1: have a greater understanding for the position and are just
Speaker 1: you know, really valuable for everyone in our quarterback room,
Speaker 1: you know, to kind of talk to and pick their
Speaker 1: brains as far as certain concepts because you know, they
Speaker 1: ran a lot of this stuff that we're running. So
Speaker 1: it's nice. Thanks all right, Thanks Zero
