1 00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:03,520 Speaker 1: What did you think of Tommy DeVito's perform on Friday? 2 00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:05,400 Speaker 2: It was it was a I thought he did a 3 00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:08,360 Speaker 2: really nice job in there. Gutsy played tough. I thought 4 00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:10,520 Speaker 2: he did, you know, all the things we asked him 5 00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:14,560 Speaker 2: to do. From an execution standpoint, he's you know, he's 6 00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:17,880 Speaker 2: he's growing each and every days. Michael, get a lot 7 00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:19,000 Speaker 2: of snaps that first half. 8 00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:20,520 Speaker 1: How'd you see him adjust. 9 00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:22,440 Speaker 3: To the actual game. 10 00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:24,439 Speaker 2: Yeah, no, it is, it was. It was good. And 11 00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:27,520 Speaker 2: that's really you know, training camp, preseason, it's really for 12 00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:29,920 Speaker 2: those young players, and it's good for the young players 13 00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:31,360 Speaker 2: to get in there and get in the mix and 14 00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:34,360 Speaker 2: how the speed of an NFL game shows up and 15 00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:36,440 Speaker 2: it comes down too fast. So you know, I think 16 00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:38,640 Speaker 2: I thought that those young guys did well. James, like 17 00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:40,160 Speaker 2: you said, I thought it was one of those guys 18 00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:42,600 Speaker 2: who he got in there, he played hard, and you know, 19 00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:44,239 Speaker 2: there's obviously a bunch of things that we can get 20 00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:46,040 Speaker 2: better at, and that's what we're working to improve on. 21 00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:49,919 Speaker 3: The interior stand in your mind at this point. 22 00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:52,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not going to probably get into the depth 23 00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:53,840 Speaker 2: chart stuff all the days talk on that. 24 00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:58,240 Speaker 3: Oh, just how high played in the game. 25 00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:02,200 Speaker 2: H Jalen, Yeah, did some nice things. You didn't have 26 00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:05,080 Speaker 2: a bunch of have a bunch of targets. But he 27 00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:06,959 Speaker 2: was in the right spot and where we wanted to be. 28 00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:08,959 Speaker 2: So he just again, those young guys are just growing 29 00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:12,880 Speaker 2: and continuing to get better, and we'll get him, you know, intermixes, 30 00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:14,280 Speaker 2: we keep on going through the preseason. 31 00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:17,320 Speaker 4: What do you look like veteran guys like Prouder and 32 00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:19,880 Speaker 4: and Beasley in a camp like this, You know they've 33 00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:21,680 Speaker 4: done it, but what do you look what are you 34 00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:22,320 Speaker 4: looking for from that? 35 00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:24,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's a it's a competitive it's a 36 00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:28,040 Speaker 2: competitive competitive deal. So all those guys are in the mix, right, 37 00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:29,760 Speaker 2: and so you try to put them in the best 38 00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:32,240 Speaker 2: spot so that they can show what they're about and 39 00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:34,640 Speaker 2: give them an opportunity to make some make some plays. 40 00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:36,880 Speaker 2: And I think as a player, you know, being a 41 00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:38,919 Speaker 2: former player, that's all you really want is just an opportunity. 42 00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,320 Speaker 2: And so that's you know, with the preseason, the training camp, 43 00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:44,520 Speaker 2: kind of the whole scope of body of your work, 44 00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:47,560 Speaker 2: that's really what goes down to the evaluation process. And 45 00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:49,800 Speaker 2: then you get into the preseason games and you know, 46 00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:51,480 Speaker 2: you get an opportunity to do it. In front of 47 00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:53,720 Speaker 2: you know, in front of our fans and for the 48 00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:54,760 Speaker 2: for the whole organization. 49 00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:58,360 Speaker 4: When they've done it their whole career against ones and 50 00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:01,000 Speaker 4: then they go against two. Do you expect him too? 51 00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,920 Speaker 4: They both showed up the other night. Is that what 52 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:05,440 Speaker 4: you expect? 53 00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:08,360 Speaker 2: I'd say, I'd say the level of execution is is 54 00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:12,080 Speaker 2: high for anybody, first, second year, eight year vets. You know, 55 00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:14,240 Speaker 2: the level execution for us is really high. 56 00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:17,359 Speaker 4: Chep coming up those venturies. 57 00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:20,919 Speaker 2: Chips ships, Chips continue to put together really good days 58 00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:23,920 Speaker 2: of work, and he's growing within the system and he's 59 00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:25,560 Speaker 2: you know, he's doing a good job of with his 60 00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,440 Speaker 2: rehab and prehab and and running around. He looks he 61 00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:31,079 Speaker 2: looks really clean out there yesterday. So we'll just keep 62 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:33,000 Speaker 2: on working with him and as the week goes on, 63 00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:35,079 Speaker 2: you know, make a decision, Mike. 64 00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:37,360 Speaker 5: When you look at the office that Jalen played in 65 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:39,440 Speaker 5: at Tennessee last year, it's a lot more spread out, 66 00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:40,959 Speaker 5: a lot more stack information. So you might see in 67 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,639 Speaker 5: the NFL are the things that you are helping him 68 00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:45,560 Speaker 5: with or that you've pulled from Tennessee to make that 69 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:47,320 Speaker 5: transition a little bit easier for him. 70 00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:50,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, and when we went through the scouting process with 71 00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:53,640 Speaker 2: him and identifying things that we think he does well, 72 00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:56,440 Speaker 2: and so just putting him in those positions, whether it's 73 00:02:56,440 --> 00:03:00,200 Speaker 2: inside outside, you know, just all the different various area 74 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:01,840 Speaker 2: of the offense that we can insert him into. So 75 00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:04,520 Speaker 2: he's one of those players again just growing, developing a 76 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:07,680 Speaker 2: role for himself and and trying to make it make 77 00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:08,639 Speaker 2: the best for him. 78 00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:11,799 Speaker 1: Like uh, Dable as a head coach can be explosive 79 00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 1: right in practice and games. What do you what do 80 00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:15,960 Speaker 1: you think of that as somebody you know working under 81 00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:16,720 Speaker 1: him as a ZOC. 82 00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:19,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean my interactions with Dave has been awesome. 83 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:23,160 Speaker 2: We have a great relationship. We talk a lot, We're 84 00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:25,840 Speaker 2: able to communicate at a high level, and I think 85 00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:27,360 Speaker 2: that at the end of the day, that's what it's about. 86 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,120 Speaker 2: I mean, everyone has their own personality, everyone has their 87 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:33,639 Speaker 2: own way of of you know, demanding what they want 88 00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:35,960 Speaker 2: and getting what they want. And him being the head coach, 89 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,839 Speaker 2: that's that's part of my job is to make sure 90 00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:40,880 Speaker 2: that I'm presenting that to the rest of my staff 91 00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:45,080 Speaker 2: and the players on offense and portraying portraying his vision 92 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:45,520 Speaker 2: of the team. 93 00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:53,240 Speaker 6: Excuse the evaluation process obviously, is different for every player. 94 00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:56,680 Speaker 6: When I when a player like de Veto comes in, 95 00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,280 Speaker 6: I mean obviously the quarterbacks, they you know the defined 96 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:02,800 Speaker 6: roles you know you're looking for for guys. You know, 97 00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:05,880 Speaker 6: how clear is that vision of how you develop a 98 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:09,600 Speaker 6: guy like that behind to established guys in your room 99 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:10,720 Speaker 6: as a quarterback. 100 00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:14,280 Speaker 2: I'd say in my experience with the quarterback room is 101 00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:17,320 Speaker 2: those young guys you're trying to you're trying to put 102 00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:20,640 Speaker 2: them in a position where they understand like they're going 103 00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:23,040 Speaker 2: through their checklists right. So you're looking at the shot clock, 104 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:24,680 Speaker 2: You're looking at the guys in the huddle. You're looking 105 00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:27,640 Speaker 2: at the personnel groupings that's in your own huddle. What's 106 00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:30,839 Speaker 2: on the other side of the football you're evaluating, you 107 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:32,680 Speaker 2: know who's on what side of the ball is that 108 00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:34,320 Speaker 2: you're looking at a corner, you looking at linebacker, you're 109 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:36,520 Speaker 2: looking at matchups. Then all of a sudden, you break 110 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:38,320 Speaker 2: the huddle and you got a million things. You got 111 00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:41,000 Speaker 2: to check out who the MIC is and who the 112 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,840 Speaker 2: protection responsibilities are, making sure our guys are onligned in 113 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,560 Speaker 2: the right spot. Then you're checking the clock again, So 114 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,360 Speaker 2: like there's a whole checklist and the thought process that's 115 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:51,760 Speaker 2: really even before the snap, right, So all those things 116 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:55,080 Speaker 2: are happening, and so for a young player, you try 117 00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:57,320 Speaker 2: and break it down for them so that they can 118 00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:00,640 Speaker 2: do it simply easy and allow them to like fast. 119 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:04,000 Speaker 2: So for a guy like Tommy, he's going through that 120 00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:06,320 Speaker 2: process each and every day and it's not always perfect, 121 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:09,400 Speaker 2: but you're seeing the growth and you're seeing development. And 122 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:11,520 Speaker 2: then you go see him execute in a game like 123 00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:13,359 Speaker 2: that and you know, do some nice things, sort of 124 00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:15,920 Speaker 2: touchdown and have some success, and that does nothing but 125 00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:17,599 Speaker 2: just build his confidence. 126 00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:20,480 Speaker 4: Or you don't want to get into the depth chart 127 00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:22,840 Speaker 4: in the interior of the offensive line, But what are 128 00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:27,560 Speaker 4: you seeing development wise, performance wise from from Bannon Josh 129 00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:28,200 Speaker 4: at this point. 130 00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 2: Now, I'm seeing a great I'm seeing a great competition. 131 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:32,440 Speaker 2: I'm seeing a lot of two tough kids that are 132 00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:34,840 Speaker 2: three tough kids, four tough guys that are really going 133 00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:38,680 Speaker 2: after it in that in that core. So they're doing 134 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:40,479 Speaker 2: a nice job, and we're mixing them around and trying 135 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:42,760 Speaker 2: to give him as many different looks in the run game, 136 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:44,880 Speaker 2: in the past game, they're seeing a bunch of different 137 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:48,560 Speaker 2: looks from wings defense as far as pressure, so all 138 00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:50,280 Speaker 2: of those things and you know, you go all the 139 00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:53,000 Speaker 2: way back really to the spring, you evaluate that part 140 00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:54,840 Speaker 2: of it and you take the whole body of work, 141 00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:57,240 Speaker 2: and now you can get a clean picture of how 142 00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:59,160 Speaker 2: he fits and he fits into your offense. 143 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,320 Speaker 5: You look at a quarterback and DeVito is under a 144 00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:03,000 Speaker 5: lot of pressure. 145 00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:07,080 Speaker 4: Does that pressure help evaluate him? 146 00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:10,239 Speaker 2: I'd probably say, you know, we're we're looking to eliminate 147 00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:12,839 Speaker 2: that pressure off off the off the quarterback. We we 148 00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:14,839 Speaker 2: certainly don't want the quarterback have him to throw guys 149 00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:17,160 Speaker 2: in their face. So you know, we gotta we gotta 150 00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:19,680 Speaker 2: work to improve all those things. And it's not just 151 00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:24,159 Speaker 2: the old line, it's it's eleven man operation, so it's 152 00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:26,760 Speaker 2: every and every group has a piece of quarterback, the 153 00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:29,960 Speaker 2: on line, the running backs and protection or running receivers 154 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,880 Speaker 2: with the routes, so everyone has a piece to it. 155 00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:35,040 Speaker 2: It's not just always one group, although it sometimes might 156 00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:35,560 Speaker 2: look like that. 157 00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:38,360 Speaker 1: If the season started today, do you think you could 158 00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:40,599 Speaker 1: trust josh A Zudo to be your left guard? Like? 159 00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:43,200 Speaker 1: Do you think that he has shown he could handle that? 160 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:43,640 Speaker 6: Yeah? 161 00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:45,400 Speaker 2: I have trust in all those guys. 162 00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:50,000 Speaker 3: Where has he uh gotten better? And he's flashed at 163 00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:53,040 Speaker 3: times last year? Right, typical rookie stuff too. Yeah, then 164 00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:55,480 Speaker 3: the shoulder. So now that he's healthy, like and you're 165 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:57,359 Speaker 3: getting along, look at him, like where in particular do 166 00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:58,360 Speaker 3: you think he's gotten better? 167 00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:01,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, Josh is a really athletic guy. He's really athletic. 168 00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:05,440 Speaker 2: He can recover, and he's aggressive, and so you know, 169 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:07,640 Speaker 2: we're just working and we're working them through our like again, 170 00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,400 Speaker 2: like every young player, you work through that mental checklist, 171 00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:13,280 Speaker 2: and so going through that process, continue to work on 172 00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:16,120 Speaker 2: his fundamentals and techniques, just like everybody. I mean, we're 173 00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:18,880 Speaker 2: talking to Josh the same way. We're talking at about 174 00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:21,600 Speaker 2: the same fundamentals and techniques. So all those guys are 175 00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:23,680 Speaker 2: working to improve on it. And Josh is right, you 176 00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:24,320 Speaker 2: know right on pace. 177 00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:27,360 Speaker 4: Would you be as would you be averse to, uh, 178 00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:30,000 Speaker 4: the rotation the way you did a year ago? And 179 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:31,880 Speaker 4: what are the present cons of that in your mind? 180 00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:35,360 Speaker 2: I think? You know, however, a way, whatever way Daves 181 00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:36,840 Speaker 2: wants to handle it, that's all will handle it. I 182 00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:39,280 Speaker 2: don't think that's sentence stone right now. So you know, 183 00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:41,239 Speaker 2: we'll just kind of play it by year and as 184 00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:46,160 Speaker 2: the you know, competition develops and expresses itself, then we'll 185 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:46,760 Speaker 2: make a decision. 186 00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:48,160 Speaker 4: Did you think it worked well last year? 187 00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:49,440 Speaker 2: Excuse me? 188 00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:51,520 Speaker 4: Did you think you did it? I think for seven 189 00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:52,720 Speaker 4: games last year. 190 00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:55,960 Speaker 2: With yeah we had I mean I think that last 191 00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,400 Speaker 2: year and not have to go too far back, but 192 00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:01,200 Speaker 2: you know, just injuries and of rotating guys in so 193 00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:05,400 Speaker 2: I think that's a part of that. But ideally you'd 194 00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:08,840 Speaker 2: like to have a core group. But again, you know, 195 00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:11,120 Speaker 2: you just want to find the best five h 196 00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:16,120 Speaker 1: M hm
