WEBVTT - Press Pass: Sam Bradford

0:00:01.480 --> 0:00:11.280
<v Speaker 1>See your body language. Guess your relaxed. Who's being enjoying

0:00:11.280 --> 0:00:15.280
<v Speaker 1>yourself out there? You'd reading on pointing yourself. Yeah, Um,

0:00:16.640 --> 0:00:18.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, I think it's one of those things just

0:00:18.079 --> 0:00:20.160
<v Speaker 1>being here last year, you know, like I said, having

0:00:20.160 --> 0:00:23.520
<v Speaker 1>a feel for this locker room, knowing the guys. Yeah,

0:00:23.560 --> 0:00:25.439
<v Speaker 1>I just feel much more comfortable in the huddle of

0:00:25.480 --> 0:00:27.640
<v Speaker 1>speaking to those guys on the field with those guys,

0:00:27.680 --> 0:00:30.360
<v Speaker 1>and now I just feel much more comfortable in the

0:00:30.400 --> 0:00:32.640
<v Speaker 1>building here, to be honest, And I think that's probably why,

0:00:33.040 --> 0:00:34.640
<v Speaker 1>you know, it probably seems like I am a little

0:00:34.680 --> 0:00:37.159
<v Speaker 1>more relaxed than last year, you know. And obviously you

0:00:37.200 --> 0:00:39.920
<v Speaker 1>know last year, coming off both knew surgeries, not having

0:00:39.960 --> 0:00:42.640
<v Speaker 1>played football in a year and a half, you know,

0:00:43.159 --> 0:00:45.360
<v Speaker 1>it was a little bit stressful at times to try

0:00:45.400 --> 0:00:48.800
<v Speaker 1>to get myself back into the rhythm of football. See,

0:00:48.920 --> 0:00:52.199
<v Speaker 1>based on everything that's happened this offseason have been you know,

0:00:52.240 --> 0:00:55.920
<v Speaker 1>your desire probably to move on. How did you get

0:00:55.960 --> 0:00:57.840
<v Speaker 1>to a point who you are more part you are

0:00:57.880 --> 0:01:01.920
<v Speaker 1>more relaxed considering the uncertain Um. Yeah, like I said,

0:01:01.960 --> 0:01:03.560
<v Speaker 1>I think I just learned you just take it day

0:01:03.560 --> 0:01:05.800
<v Speaker 1>by day and that's really all that you know. I'm

0:01:05.840 --> 0:01:09.200
<v Speaker 1>worried about is coming out here each day and getting better. Um.

0:01:09.319 --> 0:01:11.399
<v Speaker 1>No one can predict the future. No one knows what

0:01:11.440 --> 0:01:14.400
<v Speaker 1>the future holds, you know. Um, And so I think

0:01:14.400 --> 0:01:16.600
<v Speaker 1>that you learned to just enjoy every day and enjoy

0:01:16.640 --> 0:01:19.479
<v Speaker 1>the process, and you know, whatever happens happens. And that's

0:01:19.560 --> 0:01:22.880
<v Speaker 1>kind of my mindset. Was it more getack to the future.

0:01:22.959 --> 0:01:25.320
<v Speaker 1>Was it more coming off the injury or chasing a

0:01:25.440 --> 0:01:28.000
<v Speaker 1>change or combination both that they did? Yeah, I think

0:01:28.040 --> 0:01:31.520
<v Speaker 1>it was probably a combination of both. Um. You know, obviously,

0:01:31.560 --> 0:01:34.440
<v Speaker 1>anytime you change teams, you know, having to spend the

0:01:34.480 --> 0:01:37.360
<v Speaker 1>time building those relationships. You know, it takes a lot

0:01:37.360 --> 0:01:39.920
<v Speaker 1>of time to do that. And then you know, coming

0:01:39.920 --> 0:01:41.840
<v Speaker 1>off the injury, not being able to be on the

0:01:41.840 --> 0:01:44.520
<v Speaker 1>field during spring, during OTA's you know, it makes it

0:01:44.520 --> 0:01:47.320
<v Speaker 1>even harder to build those relationships because you're not going

0:01:47.360 --> 0:01:49.880
<v Speaker 1>through practice with the guys. So I think it was

0:01:49.880 --> 0:01:52.560
<v Speaker 1>probably a combination of both of those things. Last year,

0:01:53.040 --> 0:01:58.800
<v Speaker 1>what's your play and money? Yeah, I saw that run yesterday,

0:01:58.800 --> 0:02:02.520
<v Speaker 1>didn't you. Yeah, you know, I'm comfortable with it. You know, obviously,

0:02:02.520 --> 0:02:05.200
<v Speaker 1>I think I'm moving better than I was last year.

0:02:06.760 --> 0:02:08.320
<v Speaker 1>You know, it's one of those things you know, I've

0:02:08.400 --> 0:02:09.920
<v Speaker 1>learned now that you know, you get what you can

0:02:09.960 --> 0:02:12.000
<v Speaker 1>and you get down. I mean, you know, by no

0:02:12.120 --> 0:02:13.640
<v Speaker 1>means do I think I'm gonna pull the ball and

0:02:13.800 --> 0:02:16.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, take it fifty yards for a touchdown. But

0:02:16.520 --> 0:02:18.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, if I can get five ten yards in

0:02:18.200 --> 0:02:20.919
<v Speaker 1>a first down and get down, obviously that's really beneficial

0:02:20.960 --> 0:02:23.800
<v Speaker 1>to the offense and helps us sea what aspects of

0:02:23.840 --> 0:02:26.120
<v Speaker 1>this office really is plenty to the streets that you

0:02:26.160 --> 0:02:28.640
<v Speaker 1>see it right now. But at the same token, what

0:02:28.720 --> 0:02:30.600
<v Speaker 1>are some things that you still might struggle with a

0:02:30.600 --> 0:02:34.480
<v Speaker 1>little bit? Um, you know, I think just probably the

0:02:34.560 --> 0:02:36.640
<v Speaker 1>rhythm of everything. You know, it's very similar to what

0:02:36.680 --> 0:02:39.320
<v Speaker 1>I was doing with Pat and Saint Louis, you know,

0:02:39.360 --> 0:02:42.240
<v Speaker 1>as far as a lot of the West Coast co concepts,

0:02:42.280 --> 0:02:45.079
<v Speaker 1>which I really enjoy because it's all about timing and rhythm,

0:02:45.120 --> 0:02:46.640
<v Speaker 1>you know, and your feet kind of take you home,

0:02:47.280 --> 0:02:49.000
<v Speaker 1>which you know, as long as my feet are good,

0:02:49.080 --> 0:02:51.919
<v Speaker 1>you know, the ball usually goes to the right place. Um,

0:02:52.560 --> 0:02:55.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, I think we're still kind of working through

0:02:55.600 --> 0:02:57.799
<v Speaker 1>some things as far as you know, when I'm expecting

0:02:57.800 --> 0:02:59.960
<v Speaker 1>guys to run out, when I'm expecting them to see

0:03:00.000 --> 0:03:03.080
<v Speaker 1>at what angles I'm expecting them to take first different coverages.

0:03:03.160 --> 0:03:05.239
<v Speaker 1>And I think anytime you go through a new offense,

0:03:05.280 --> 0:03:06.960
<v Speaker 1>that's one of those things. It takes time. You know.

0:03:07.040 --> 0:03:08.560
<v Speaker 1>It's not like you're going to come out the first

0:03:08.600 --> 0:03:11.080
<v Speaker 1>day and you're going to know exactly, um, you know,

0:03:11.080 --> 0:03:12.840
<v Speaker 1>where everyone's going to be. You know. It's one thing

0:03:12.880 --> 0:03:14.720
<v Speaker 1>to talk about it in the install where we talk

0:03:14.720 --> 0:03:17.240
<v Speaker 1>about it on paper, but to come out here and

0:03:17.240 --> 0:03:21.079
<v Speaker 1>to really get a feel for how everyone is seeing

0:03:21.160 --> 0:03:24.480
<v Speaker 1>concepts and seeing route front. You know. I think we've had,

0:03:24.800 --> 0:03:27.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, a few times where you know, they should

0:03:27.280 --> 0:03:29.080
<v Speaker 1>have been completions, but we're just not quite on the

0:03:29.120 --> 0:03:37.280
<v Speaker 1>same page. Yet, easier offers to be good it. Um.

0:03:37.360 --> 0:03:39.960
<v Speaker 1>You know, it's definitely easier to come to the side

0:03:39.960 --> 0:03:42.040
<v Speaker 1>and talk about plays, you know, just because you do

0:03:42.160 --> 0:03:45.440
<v Speaker 1>have more time. Um. And then when we huddle, obviously

0:03:45.600 --> 0:03:47.800
<v Speaker 1>you can hit guys with key points on certain plays,

0:03:47.800 --> 0:03:50.320
<v Speaker 1>maybe new plays that we install the night before, you know,

0:03:50.400 --> 0:03:52.640
<v Speaker 1>things that kind of need to be hammered home, um.

0:03:52.800 --> 0:03:54.360
<v Speaker 1>You know. But it is nice to be able to

0:03:54.440 --> 0:03:57.480
<v Speaker 1>come together to huddle, to have the time after you

0:03:57.480 --> 0:03:59.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, have a set to talk to people and

0:03:59.520 --> 0:04:01.640
<v Speaker 1>really kind of get on the same page the same

0:04:02.200 --> 0:04:06.280
<v Speaker 1>Shaws defensive lineman Michael Bennett. There's an interview with ESPN.

0:04:06.360 --> 0:04:07.920
<v Speaker 1>He he called you the desk. Did you hear about it?

0:04:07.960 --> 0:04:10.000
<v Speaker 1>He pubby the best quarterback in the NFL? How to

0:04:10.040 --> 0:04:12.920
<v Speaker 1>start pastica? Give an your reaction to that? Uh no,

0:04:13.280 --> 0:04:17.560
<v Speaker 1>not really. You're a week the way now for the

0:04:17.640 --> 0:04:19.760
<v Speaker 1>first two seats of game. How much are you even

0:04:19.760 --> 0:04:21.680
<v Speaker 1>gonna be able to launch? Not you, but just the

0:04:21.960 --> 0:04:25.560
<v Speaker 1>team with general bom the playbook? How much is the offense?

0:04:25.560 --> 0:04:27.960
<v Speaker 1>Would you guys be able to employ it? For a skateboard?

0:04:28.520 --> 0:04:31.320
<v Speaker 1>It was the comfort level point, But um, yeah, you

0:04:31.400 --> 0:04:33.520
<v Speaker 1>probably have to ask Doug. You know, I'm sure going

0:04:33.520 --> 0:04:35.560
<v Speaker 1>into week one, you know, we're not going to have

0:04:35.600 --> 0:04:37.240
<v Speaker 1>the whole playbook, and I don't think we want to

0:04:37.240 --> 0:04:39.720
<v Speaker 1>show a lot of things, so I'm sure it'll be

0:04:39.720 --> 0:04:42.440
<v Speaker 1>pretty simple. But then again, um, you know, I haven't

0:04:42.440 --> 0:04:44.840
<v Speaker 1>been around him, so I don't know what his philosophy is.

0:04:44.920 --> 0:04:48.320
<v Speaker 1>But you know, we've had heavy installs now for you know,

0:04:48.360 --> 0:04:51.080
<v Speaker 1>seven or eight days, and so the majority of the

0:04:51.120 --> 0:04:52.880
<v Speaker 1>offense is in. I would say there's still a few

0:04:52.880 --> 0:04:54.880
<v Speaker 1>things that you know are going to go in in

0:04:54.920 --> 0:04:57.560
<v Speaker 1>the next week or so. But um, you know, I

0:04:57.560 --> 0:04:59.880
<v Speaker 1>would say by the time next Thursday gets here, most

0:05:00.120 --> 0:05:02.479
<v Speaker 1>the offense will be in. Whether it's on the call sheet,

0:05:02.800 --> 0:05:05.360
<v Speaker 1>I don't really know. So when you go against you

0:05:05.680 --> 0:05:09.080
<v Speaker 1>once defensively, obviously going against malcol Rock, the hope of

0:05:09.160 --> 0:05:11.599
<v Speaker 1>defensive is of those guys will really be a factor.

0:05:11.760 --> 0:05:13.720
<v Speaker 1>What do you see when you go against them? How

0:05:13.800 --> 0:05:17.880
<v Speaker 1>quickly did they match? Talk about what you're seeing obviously. Yeah,

0:05:17.920 --> 0:05:19.800
<v Speaker 1>I think those guys are playing really well right now.

0:05:19.920 --> 0:05:22.000
<v Speaker 1>You know. I think it's uh, you know, one of

0:05:22.040 --> 0:05:24.880
<v Speaker 1>the better, if not the best, probably safety duo in

0:05:24.920 --> 0:05:27.600
<v Speaker 1>the league. Um, you know, it just seems like they

0:05:27.680 --> 0:05:30.080
<v Speaker 1>cover a lot of range in the back end. You know,

0:05:30.160 --> 0:05:33.000
<v Speaker 1>whoever's in the middle of the field back there. They're deep,

0:05:33.040 --> 0:05:35.400
<v Speaker 1>they're rangey, they're covering a lot of ground, they're taking

0:05:35.400 --> 0:05:37.360
<v Speaker 1>a lot of things away. But you know, I think

0:05:37.360 --> 0:05:39.480
<v Speaker 1>the good thing about both those guys is when they

0:05:39.480 --> 0:05:43.280
<v Speaker 1>come down to play a tight end or a slot receiver, Uh,

0:05:43.480 --> 0:05:45.359
<v Speaker 1>they're tough to be I mean it's not like we

0:05:45.480 --> 0:05:47.680
<v Speaker 1>look out there and think, oh, that's an easy matchup.

0:05:47.760 --> 0:05:49.680
<v Speaker 1>You know how you do it with most safeties. I mean,

0:05:49.680 --> 0:05:51.919
<v Speaker 1>they're really good cover guys and I think they've showed

0:05:51.960 --> 0:05:54.760
<v Speaker 1>it is that making you better? You think, you know,

0:05:54.839 --> 0:05:57.760
<v Speaker 1>for an offense, drop pass and struggle last year, you're

0:05:57.800 --> 0:05:59.760
<v Speaker 1>like going up against the safeties and making you guys

0:06:00.080 --> 0:06:01.800
<v Speaker 1>that are right now? Oh absolutely, you know. I think

0:06:01.800 --> 0:06:05.680
<v Speaker 1>he would much rather have things tough in practice than

0:06:05.760 --> 0:06:08.160
<v Speaker 1>get to a game and realize whoa like, practice has

0:06:08.200 --> 0:06:10.599
<v Speaker 1>been really easy, This is really tough. So you know,

0:06:10.640 --> 0:06:13.520
<v Speaker 1>I think as many challenging situations as we can put

0:06:13.600 --> 0:06:19.640
<v Speaker 1>ourselves during practice, I think it makes you better. Yeah,

0:06:20.520 --> 0:06:25.320
<v Speaker 1>we ahead of a little bit. Yeah, he stands out,

0:06:26.080 --> 0:06:27.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah he does. You know, I think he's just got

0:06:27.880 --> 0:06:29.520
<v Speaker 1>a great feel for the game. You know, he's one

0:06:29.560 --> 0:06:31.760
<v Speaker 1>of those guys he's a good route runner, but you know,

0:06:31.880 --> 0:06:35.279
<v Speaker 1>not just that, his ability to find zones, to recognize coverage,

0:06:35.320 --> 0:06:37.400
<v Speaker 1>to know whether you know he's working off the man

0:06:37.440 --> 0:06:38.880
<v Speaker 1>in front of him or if he's working on a

0:06:38.880 --> 0:06:40.800
<v Speaker 1>man in the second level. And I think he's just

0:06:40.839 --> 0:06:43.840
<v Speaker 1>got a really good natural feel, um, you know, for

0:06:43.839 --> 0:06:45.840
<v Speaker 1>how to find soft spots in a defense. And he's

0:06:45.839 --> 0:06:47.440
<v Speaker 1>made a lot of plays for us too. What have

0:06:47.520 --> 0:06:52.120
<v Speaker 1>you seen so far? He's obviously a young guy, school

0:06:52.560 --> 0:06:57.560
<v Speaker 1>justin in the NFL. From him that you feel like

0:06:57.560 --> 0:07:01.200
<v Speaker 1>he needs to work on. Yeah, I think Carson's done

0:07:01.240 --> 0:07:03.599
<v Speaker 1>a great job. You know, obviously, anytime you come into

0:07:03.640 --> 0:07:06.920
<v Speaker 1>this league as a rookie, Um, it's not easy, especially

0:07:06.960 --> 0:07:09.400
<v Speaker 1>at the quarterback business, and especially you know, in this

0:07:09.520 --> 0:07:12.720
<v Speaker 1>offense with just a lot of information being thrown at you.

0:07:12.920 --> 0:07:14.880
<v Speaker 1>But you know, he's shown that he can handle it.

0:07:14.920 --> 0:07:16.320
<v Speaker 1>You know, I think he does a great job at

0:07:16.320 --> 0:07:19.200
<v Speaker 1>taking things from the meeting room to the practice field.

0:07:19.360 --> 0:07:21.280
<v Speaker 1>You know, it seems like he gets better every day.

0:07:21.440 --> 0:07:23.920
<v Speaker 1>So I've been really impressed with him. That's two more

0:07:24.000 --> 0:07:26.840
<v Speaker 1>questions or so. And if you said to Dog and

0:07:26.880 --> 0:07:29.440
<v Speaker 1>the Frank, look, I'd be most effective if I had

0:07:29.480 --> 0:07:33.280
<v Speaker 1>to play the call left like, is there a certain

0:07:33.280 --> 0:07:35.000
<v Speaker 1>amount of time you need at the play plot where

0:07:35.040 --> 0:07:39.240
<v Speaker 1>you're like, now I can adjust. Um, you know, I'm

0:07:39.280 --> 0:07:41.080
<v Speaker 1>sure they're both very aware of that. I mean, they

0:07:41.160 --> 0:07:43.640
<v Speaker 1>both played quarterback, they've both called plays. I think they

0:07:43.680 --> 0:07:46.559
<v Speaker 1>understand that. Um. You know, I'm not sure if there's

0:07:46.600 --> 0:07:49.520
<v Speaker 1>really a certain number. You know, obviously, depending on if

0:07:49.520 --> 0:07:52.120
<v Speaker 1>you're substituting or changing the personnel groups, you know, it

0:07:52.120 --> 0:07:54.640
<v Speaker 1>could affect at what time the play gets in. But

0:07:54.920 --> 0:07:56.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, I think, like I said the other days,

0:07:56.560 --> 0:07:59.160
<v Speaker 1>sufficiently as we can do it, you know, I think

0:07:59.160 --> 0:08:01.280
<v Speaker 1>the more time you have, the better, you know, And

0:08:01.320 --> 0:08:03.880
<v Speaker 1>even though we're not playing with a no huddle style,

0:08:03.960 --> 0:08:06.680
<v Speaker 1>I think you can still put pressure on the defense,

0:08:06.880 --> 0:08:09.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, with the tempo that you play at. So

0:08:09.240 --> 0:08:10.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, our goal is to get in and out

0:08:10.680 --> 0:08:12.560
<v Speaker 1>of the hudle as fast as possible, you know, and

0:08:12.720 --> 0:08:15.600
<v Speaker 1>put pressure on the defense in that regard. Lore, guys

0:08:16.040 --> 0:08:18.920
<v Speaker 1>we just talked about Frank and play the position. How

0:08:18.960 --> 0:08:21.840
<v Speaker 1>much it advantages that for you having a coach of

0:08:21.880 --> 0:08:26.320
<v Speaker 1>a quarterback room offensive quarterback, Yeah, it's great. Um, you know,

0:08:26.800 --> 0:08:29.760
<v Speaker 1>having those guys who understand what it's like to have

0:08:29.840 --> 0:08:32.280
<v Speaker 1>to make those decisions. You know, there's a big difference

0:08:32.280 --> 0:08:33.880
<v Speaker 1>in putting a play in and saying, oh, I think

0:08:33.920 --> 0:08:35.599
<v Speaker 1>it's gonna work like this, you know, the balls you

0:08:35.760 --> 0:08:38.120
<v Speaker 1>go here than actually getting out on the field and

0:08:38.200 --> 0:08:40.800
<v Speaker 1>seeing what it looks like and having to make that decision.

0:08:41.200 --> 0:08:43.400
<v Speaker 1>And both of those guys having done that, I think,

0:08:43.440 --> 0:08:46.360
<v Speaker 1>have a greater understanding for the position and are just

0:08:46.559 --> 0:08:49.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, really valuable for everyone in our quarterback room,

0:08:49.240 --> 0:08:50.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, to kind of talk to and pick their

0:08:50.760 --> 0:08:53.160
<v Speaker 1>brains as far as certain concepts because you know, they

0:08:53.240 --> 0:08:55.080
<v Speaker 1>ran a lot of this stuff that we're running. So

0:08:55.200 --> 0:09:03.040
<v Speaker 1>it's nice. Thanks all right, Thanks Zero
