We're probably gonna end up keeping it 85 00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:20,560 Speaker 3: the same and try to build on what he's done 86 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:20,960 Speaker 3: in the past. 87 00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,840 Speaker 4: Are those conversations you have with Josh and if so, 88 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,480 Speaker 4: what other details you kind of compromise on. 89 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:28,400 Speaker 6: He mentioned language in terms of the playoff. 90 00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:30,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, so me and Josh have been tied at the hips. 91 00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 3: We go to dunkin Donuts every day at like twelve thirty, 92 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:35,920 Speaker 3: and we just talked more football. It's just a chance 93 00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:37,240 Speaker 3: for me to get the one on one and pick 94 00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:40,800 Speaker 3: his brain a little bit. And it's been, you know, 95 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:42,560 Speaker 3: awesome just to be able to pick his brain and 96 00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,920 Speaker 3: like get you know, stepping key with each other in 97 00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:47,320 Speaker 3: order to be able to speak the same language. 98 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 2: But it's been great. 99 00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:51,120 Speaker 8: When it comes to you know, Josh's system. In the past, 100 00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:53,240 Speaker 8: a lot has been on the quarterback in terms of 101 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:56,400 Speaker 8: pre snap communication, you know, protections, things like that.

But it's 165 00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:24,479 Speaker 3: nice to, you know, have that cool Ashton, How would 166 00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:27,159 Speaker 3: you describe the passing game that you guys are putting 167 00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:27,760 Speaker 3: together here? 168 00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:30,440 Speaker 2: I would say, as of right now, it's fluid. 169 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:32,080 Speaker 3: You know, we haven't been able to have the players 170 00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:33,640 Speaker 3: back up here, so it's going to be about what 171 00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,000 Speaker 3: they can handle and what they can go out and execute, 172 00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:37,800 Speaker 3: So there's going to be a starting point, as there 173 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:39,640 Speaker 3: has to be, and then as we figure out what 174 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:41,760 Speaker 3: these guys do very well and what the quarterback can 175 00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:43,880 Speaker 3: handle and what he does very well, then I think 176 00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:45,200 Speaker 3: it'll start to head that direction. 177 00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:48,000 Speaker 4: How much of it is you learning with Josh's run 178 00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:51,000 Speaker 4: twenty five years basically on back here versus stuff you 179 00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:52,839 Speaker 4: might bring or Thomas, Mike Bringer, even. 180 00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:55,080 Speaker 3: Todd Well, I think every year, you know, the offense 181 00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:57,520 Speaker 3: is going to evolve, you know, and like in the offseason, 182 00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:00,120 Speaker 3: you're going to study what teams are are, what. 183 00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:01,560 Speaker 2: Other teams are doing around the league. 184 00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:03,920 Speaker 3: When you go back and watch some of these college quarterbacks, 185 00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:05,880 Speaker 3: you picked up some stuff that guys are doing in college. 186 00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:08,839 Speaker 2: So your offense is gonna forever evolve. 187 00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:11,240 Speaker 3: But it's neat to go back and watch, you know, 188 00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,400 Speaker 3: the cutups of like Brady in two thousand and four 189 00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:15,440 Speaker 3: running some of the concepts that we mightn't saw. It's 190 00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:18,960 Speaker 3: kind of like watching Jordan practices free throws or things 191 00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:21,240 Speaker 3: of that nature. So that part has been pretty neat. 192 00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:24,360 Speaker 3: But again, it's forever evolving. So even some of the 193 00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:26,080 Speaker 3: things we're doing the spring might not be the same 194 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:27,040 Speaker 3: that we're doing training camp. 195 00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:30,640 Speaker 4: So sorry on that note, as a kid from Connecticut 196 00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:31,960 Speaker 4: watching Brady do his thing? 197 00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:35,200 Speaker 6: What were you doing in two thousand and four? 198 00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:35,480 Speaker 10: Was that? 199 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:38,120 Speaker 3: Like two thousand and four, I was nine years old, 200 00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,440 Speaker 3: so I was in the fifth grade and I was 201 00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:43,760 Speaker 3: probably at recess trying to kick the ball over the fence. 202 00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:45,840 Speaker 6: What did you watch? 203 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:46,360 Speaker 11: Yeah? 204 00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:49,040 Speaker 2: I was, so.

I see, I've had guys in the past 257 00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:55,920 Speaker 10: that have played for me that have you know, thirty three, 258 00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:59,320 Speaker 10: thirty four and haven't played like that. I've had some 259 00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:01,320 Speaker 10: guys that had some shorter owns and played like they 260 00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:03,600 Speaker 10: had longer on. So I just think it's something that 261 00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:05,079 Speaker 10: you bring up that you just want to make sure 262 00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:07,080 Speaker 10: that you evaluate and see if it affects the player 263 00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:09,640 Speaker 10: in a positive way or negative way. 264 00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:12,640 Speaker 8: I'm still left tackle, just you know, when you evaluate 265 00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:14,319 Speaker 8: those guys in the drafts, like, what do you look 266 00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:16,720 Speaker 8: for in left tackle particularly? 267 00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:18,719 Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean I think there's a lot of traits 268 00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:21,760 Speaker 10: that people put up with tackles. I think, you know, 269 00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:24,319 Speaker 10: I never want to limit someone. I think that's important. 270 00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:27,040 Speaker 10: I mean I play with all different types of left tackles. 271 00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:29,760 Speaker 10: Some guys that have been real athletics, some guys that 272 00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:31,480 Speaker 10: have been really tall and long, some guys have been 273 00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:33,800 Speaker 10: short and quick, So I think it's tough that if 274 00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:35,640 Speaker 10: you want to say, Okay, this is exactly what you're 275 00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:38,079 Speaker 10: looking for. I think in the past and you guys 276 00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:41,760 Speaker 10: know better, you'll see. You know, each team you go 277 00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:43,920 Speaker 10: around the league has played with different players and they 278 00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:46,480 Speaker 10: performed well, you know a lot of them. So I 279 00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:49,520 Speaker 10: never try to get stuck in my mind of putting 280 00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:51,400 Speaker 10: the you know, it has to be this has to 281 00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:54,400 Speaker 10: be that. You know, I've done it too long where 282 00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:56,959 Speaker 10: you know, I've had players played for me in the 283 00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:58,640 Speaker 10: pass where people will be like, there's no way this 284 00:10:58,679 --> 00:10:59,800 Speaker 10: guy can go ahead and do it, and the guy 285 00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:01,360 Speaker 10: goes out there and he plays extremely well. 286 00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:02,960 Speaker 7: So I think it's a matter. 287 00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:05,040 Speaker 10: Of you know, getting the players in, working with them, 288 00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:07,280 Speaker 10: seeing what happens, you know, and then seeing what they 289 00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:07,720 Speaker 10: can handle. 290 00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:12,199 Speaker 9: Relationship with Mike, and how do you feel about the opportunity. 291 00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:17,680 Speaker 10: I'm fired up the relationship, you know.

And I think it's a great foundation. 377 00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:49,000 Speaker 10: It's something that I'm going to take a lot of 378 00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:51,120 Speaker 10: pride in and you know, it's going to start with 379 00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:52,760 Speaker 10: getting to know the players and what they do. It's 380 00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:54,480 Speaker 10: going to start with a foundation and trying to take 381 00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:57,200 Speaker 10: what they do well and implement those into what they're 382 00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:59,760 Speaker 10: going to do with technically, so you know, trying to 383 00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:02,360 Speaker 10: get the most out of someone at the end of 384 00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:04,680 Speaker 10: the day, and if I don't but if they don't play, 385 00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:07,320 Speaker 10: you know, to the level that people expecting them to play, 386 00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:10,240 Speaker 10: the first person I look at myself, you know, you know, 387 00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:12,560 Speaker 10: I'm the one that that that didn't do a good job. 388 00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:14,440 Speaker 7: I got to be the one that, you. 389 00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:16,360 Speaker 10: Know, has to be able to help them obtain, you know, 390 00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:22,600 Speaker 10: to get to the best of their ability. 391 00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:24,440 Speaker 14: You were talking about arm Like a little bit earlier 392 00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:27,440 Speaker 14: and you mentioned, you know, really the most important thing 393 00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:29,840 Speaker 14: is whether or not it shows up on tape with 394 00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:31,440 Speaker 14: will Have you noticed it? 395 00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:32,880 Speaker 6: You know I did. 396 00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:35,360 Speaker 10: He'd been obviously productive. I have not noticed it being 397 00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:38,240 Speaker 10: an issue for him. I think level that he's at 398 00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:38,960 Speaker 10: right now, I just. 399 00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:41,000 Speaker 6: Want to ask for one other draft prospect. 400 00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:46,600 Speaker 7: Sorry, I'm sorry, arm On membu Is. 401 00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:48,480 Speaker 6: It looks like a pretty good player. But he's played 402 00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:48,920 Speaker 6: right tackle. 403 00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:51,200 Speaker 7: Sounds like even going back to his high school days. 404 00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:54,720 Speaker 10: Yes, have you had experienced flipping guys from one side 405 00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:56,280 Speaker 10: of the other and do you think he might be 406 00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:59,080 Speaker 10: able to play on the left side? Well, again, I 407 00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:01,440 Speaker 10: do have an expert. So my first year in Normans 408 00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:03,640 Speaker 10: in two thousand and six, we took Jamal Brown, who 409 00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:05,960 Speaker 10: was a Pro Bowler right tackle, who made the Pro 410 00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:07,920 Speaker 10: Bowl right tackle the year before. We had gotten there, 411 00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:10,440 Speaker 10: and you know, we were like, what are we going 412 00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:14,240 Speaker 10: to do you know things of that nature. Coach Payton, 413 00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:15,800 Speaker 10: I sat down, we were saying, hey, we're going to 414 00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:18,080 Speaker 10: move him over. He's never played the left side, you know, 415 00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:21,200 Speaker 10: he was the first round pick from Oklahoma. Sat down 416 00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:22,800 Speaker 10: with Jamal, said hey, listen, we want to try this. 417 00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:25,440 Speaker 10: I think you can do this. You know, things don't 418 00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:27,200 Speaker 10: work out, we'll put you back to where you know. 419 00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:27,680 Speaker 7: Where you went. 420 00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:30,320 Speaker 10: And then he went from All Pro right tackle in 421 00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:33,000 Speaker 10: two thousand and six or two thousand and five to 422 00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:35,280 Speaker 10: All Pro left tackle in two thousand and six. 423 00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:37,960 Speaker 7: So yes, it's I mean, I was part of that, 424 00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:39,119 Speaker 7: which is pretty. 425 00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:42,520 Speaker 10: Coolf withn't me though I didn't do it. 426 00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:44,480 Speaker 7: The kid had. The guy was very talented, you know 427 00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:44,840 Speaker 7: what I'm saying. 428 00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:46,560 Speaker 10: It wasn't like, you know, I had this great coach 429 00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:48,240 Speaker 10: that all of a sudden switched them over there and like, 430 00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:49,480 Speaker 10: you know, we're able to do it. 431 00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:51,160 Speaker 7: The kid, he had a ton of talent, but he 432 00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:55,360 Speaker 7: did it, And I don't know. I think that's the 433 00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:56,760 Speaker 7: last last question. 434 00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:00,120 Speaker 14: Mike rub was mentioning how it's kind of different the 435 00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:01,880 Speaker 14: type of player that's coming out of college now, and 436 00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:03,160 Speaker 14: obviously you've been in that system. 437 00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:05,879 Speaker 7: Has your coaching style changed it all and if so, hell, you. 438 00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:07,399 Speaker 6: Had to adapt to maybe how things are different. 439 00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:09,680 Speaker 10: I think, I think absolutely, I think just the way 440 00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:12,960 Speaker 10: you're from a teaching standpoint, you know. You know, I 441 00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,280 Speaker 10: was fortunate that have three children that have all growed up, 442 00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:17,880 Speaker 10: all three in college. Now, you know, I saw the difference, 443 00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:20,280 Speaker 10: you know there, I see the difference in my first 444 00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:22,280 Speaker 10: time in the league to now as far as you know, 445 00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:23,879 Speaker 10: how you want to approach things, how do you want 446 00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:25,760 Speaker 10: to present things, how do you want to you know, 447 00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:27,520 Speaker 10: present things on the field for players. 448 00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:28,960 Speaker 6: So I think you do have to change. 449 00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:31,560 Speaker 10: I think you do have to, you know, create that stimulus, 450 00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:35,200 Speaker 10: keep it, keep it connected, you know, and keep it moving. 451 00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:36,960 Speaker 10: I think that's a very important way. And I think 452 00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:39,240 Speaker 10: you're always looking for ways to to you know, to 453 00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:41,879 Speaker 10: do a better job teaching. But we've seen that change 454 00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:44,119 Speaker 10: in the last couple of years, and that's happened at 455 00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:46,920 Speaker 10: every level, not just football, not just sports, but also 456 00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:49,920 Speaker 10: in the education in our universities and what we're doing there. 457 00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:52,440 Speaker 7: Thank you, I appreciate it. 458 00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:55,919 Speaker 15: From last season, seem like whenever he was on the field, 459 00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:58,480 Speaker 15: he had an explosive play at some point, you know, 460 00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:02,720 Speaker 15: watching you playing against him Love last year a couple 461 00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:05,040 Speaker 15: of times.

You said your prior relationship with 549 00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:57,119 Speaker 12: Staptics and then you are part of the trip that 550 00:21:57,160 --> 00:21:58,440 Speaker 12: he takes here just a couple. 551 00:21:58,280 --> 00:21:58,800 Speaker 1: Of weeks ago. 552 00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:01,520 Speaker 12: What have you seen that it's different about him compared 553 00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:03,399 Speaker 12: to who he was way back in twenty eighteen. 554 00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:07,080 Speaker 11: You know, I saw a lot of them, you know, 555 00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:10,040 Speaker 11: in game plan meetings and you know, kind of on 556 00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:12,560 Speaker 11: the field and that competitive fire. I'm sure there's going 557 00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:14,640 Speaker 11: to be some of that that shows back up as 558 00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:17,840 Speaker 11: we get going here, but certainly a little bit more mature, 559 00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:19,200 Speaker 11: you know, a couple. 560 00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:21,520 Speaker 2: More years under his belt and experiences under his belt. 561 00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:25,360 Speaker 11: So I think the fun thing watching kind of his 562 00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:28,040 Speaker 11: maturation throughout the course of his career is that he's 563 00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:31,280 Speaker 11: now in a position where he's fully ready to lead. 564 00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:31,520 Speaker 6: You know. 565 00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:34,760 Speaker 11: And I think in Minnesota he was doing that at times, 566 00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:37,399 Speaker 11: but Adam Thielen and Kyle Rudolph were kind of the 567 00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:41,159 Speaker 11: leaders of the offense there, Kirk cousins obviously, But you know, 568 00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:44,119 Speaker 11: now Steph's looking forward to stepping into that leadership role. 569 00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:47,560 Speaker 11: What how valuable is that he's extremely valuable as a coach. 570 00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:50,720 Speaker 11: You know, you want somebody to champion your message when 571 00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:53,040 Speaker 11: you're not in the room, you know, and Steph's definitely 572 00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:55,280 Speaker 11: a guy that I think can do that, along with 573 00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:58,040 Speaker 11: Mac and you know, Kendrick and some of the other 574 00:22:58,119 --> 00:22:58,639 Speaker 11: bets that we have. 575 00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:01,439 Speaker 16: Todd, It's an interesting situation in that you have so 576 00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:05,240 Speaker 16: many guys on the staff who've been coordinators, play callers, 577 00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:09,600 Speaker 16: and Josh talked about streamlining terminology, merging ideas, collaborating. 578 00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:11,480 Speaker 6: How did you describe that process so far? 579 00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:14,800 Speaker 11: Well, first of all, the key is in alignment, right, 580 00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:17,720 Speaker 11: all of us being in alignment. And Josh is a 581 00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:21,920 Speaker 11: play caller, he's the offensive coordinator and this is his system. 582 00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:25,920 Speaker 11: But we are building this thing together in a really 583 00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:28,080 Speaker 11: cool way where Josh has given us a chance to, 584 00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:30,040 Speaker 11: you know, kind of bring some of the ideas that 585 00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:32,879 Speaker 11: we've had in the past. He listens to everything. We 586 00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:35,800 Speaker 11: have good football discussions all the time. He'll pass me 587 00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:37,399 Speaker 11: in the hallway and say, hey, can you pop in 588 00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:40,680 Speaker 11: here and look at this clip. It's been humbling and 589 00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:44,400 Speaker 11: really cool to watch how Josh has done that. From 590 00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:48,000 Speaker 11: a kind of pulled back perspective, my goal is just 591 00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:50,720 Speaker 11: to be a great wide receiver coach and be great 592 00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:53,720 Speaker 11: at whatever else I'm tasked to do. So if Josh 593 00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:56,080 Speaker 11: wants a couple ideas, I'll bring a couple ideas. If 594 00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:58,680 Speaker 11: Josh wants me to know, shut up and coach the whiteouts, 595 00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:01,320 Speaker 11: That's exactly what I'm gonna do. So, you know, I 596 00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:04,520 Speaker 11: think that loyalty and staff alignment is such a cool 597 00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:07,040 Speaker 11: thing that coach Brablel has done a phenomenal job of 598 00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:09,160 Speaker 11: building here, and I'm just excited to be a part 599 00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:09,359 Speaker 11: of it. 600 00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:10,920 Speaker 13: I know that you've got a ton of experience, but 601 00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:12,600 Speaker 13: you never coach fide receivers before. 602 00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:14,440 Speaker 2: To my knowledge, what's that been like for you? What's 603 00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:15,200 Speaker 2: Thatstm's been. 604 00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:18,760 Speaker 11: Like, you know, I don't think the position matters as 605 00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:22,520 Speaker 11: much if you enjoy teaching. You know, I may not 606 00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:27,000 Speaker 11: be the greatest footwork drill specialist out there. 607 00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:30,320 Speaker 2: You know, I'm not going to be leading YouTube views. 608 00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:33,560 Speaker 11: But I know football, and I know what it takes 609 00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:35,719 Speaker 11: to get the receivers open on time. I know what 610 00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:39,080 Speaker 11: the quarterbacks thinking from a coverage standpoint. Spent a long 611 00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:42,560 Speaker 11: time coaching quarterbacks and coordinating, so I'll be approaching this 612 00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:44,400 Speaker 11: thing with the wide outs. 613 00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:46,160 Speaker 7: Like, Hey, you can get open the wrong way and not. 614 00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:48,040 Speaker 6: Get the football, or I can help you get open 615 00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:49,360 Speaker 6: the right way and get the football. 616 00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:52,639 Speaker 12: Do you think you'll have any collaboration with the past 617 00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:55,120 Speaker 12: coordination game or anything like that, since there's so much 618 00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:56,439 Speaker 12: of that in your back pocket? 619 00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:59,560 Speaker 11: You know, Like, like I mentioned, I'll be ready for 620 00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:03,359 Speaker 11: whatever I asked for. You know, I certainly have been 621 00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:05,200 Speaker 11: around this game a long time and been a part 622 00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:08,080 Speaker 11: of a bunch of different systems. I've seen things go well, 623 00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:11,159 Speaker 11: I've seen things not go well, and so you know, 624 00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:12,520 Speaker 11: I'll be ready to share. 625 00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:15,640 Speaker 16: My wisdom if asked, what have you seen from Mike 626 00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:19,320 Speaker 16: working for him in Tennessee? Then after the time away 627 00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:21,320 Speaker 16: from the game last, at least as a head coach 628 00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:24,240 Speaker 16: going to Cleveland working with tight ends offensive lineman, being 629 00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:26,199 Speaker 16: on that side of the ball, what kind of difference 630 00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:26,760 Speaker 16: have you noticed. 631 00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:30,800 Speaker 11: Mike's a really impressive coach in that as a head coach, 632 00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:33,560 Speaker 11: he wants to know as much about everything as he 633 00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:35,800 Speaker 11: can so that if he has that chance to have 634 00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:38,720 Speaker 11: a dialogue with a player one on one, that he's 635 00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:41,520 Speaker 11: speaking the same language. You know that the offensive coaches 636 00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:43,320 Speaker 11: are speaking, or defensive coaches. 637 00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:44,440 Speaker 6: Or especially these guys. 638 00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:48,160 Speaker 11: Down to like droll work and techniques that we might 639 00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:50,040 Speaker 11: call it one thing and he's used to call it 640 00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:53,720 Speaker 11: the other. Seeing him after spending a little time on offense, 641 00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:57,520 Speaker 11: you can tell he's even further experienced in some of 642 00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:01,040 Speaker 11: those offensive techniques, right, and what might be lenges for players, 643 00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:05,679 Speaker 11: what might be unrealistic expectations and things like that. So 644 00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:08,240 Speaker 11: it's just need to be back with them and you know, 645 00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:12,440 Speaker 11: see them kind of even more seasoned as an offensive mind. 646 00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:15,479 Speaker 13: Outside of KB mac and stuff, it's a pretty young 647 00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:17,639 Speaker 13: wide receiver room. So now you're not coming in with 648 00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:20,040 Speaker 13: any preconceived notions or anything, but how do you view 649 00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:22,119 Speaker 13: those guys? How do you view Jalen and Jabon and 650 00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:23,320 Speaker 13: some of the over wide receivers. 651 00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:25,160 Speaker 11: You know, it's one of the reasons I was really 652 00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:26,480 Speaker 11: excited to accept this job. 653 00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:26,840 Speaker 6: You know. 654 00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:30,440 Speaker 11: There's a lot of talent and young talent in that room, 655 00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:33,199 Speaker 11: and I think that fresh start mentality that we were 656 00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:35,960 Speaker 11: discussing earlier gives everybody a chance to kind of say, 657 00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:39,000 Speaker 11: I'm going to bring my skill set and see where 658 00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:41,359 Speaker 11: I can develop it, you know, And we talk a 659 00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:44,159 Speaker 11: lot as a staff, and I'll talk to the players 660 00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:47,159 Speaker 11: when they're back. They're going to get out of it 661 00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:49,280 Speaker 11: what they put into it, you know. And so if 662 00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:51,920 Speaker 11: they bring their skill set, don't put very much work 663 00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:53,280 Speaker 11: into it, that skill. 664 00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:54,720 Speaker 6: Set probably won't show up very much. 665 00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:57,800 Speaker 11: But if they work hard, if they're diligent about trying 666 00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:00,560 Speaker 11: to learn the system, if they're selfless. 667 00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:02,439 Speaker 7: And they and they work to be good teammates. 668 00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:06,240 Speaker 11: I think good things will happen for those guys. 669 00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:08,920 Speaker 1: Looking at the tape. 670 00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:11,880 Speaker 15: What stood out to you or what makes you think 671 00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:15,440 Speaker 15: that either Poker or Jabon can contribute. 672 00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:17,760 Speaker 11: Yeah, we had done work on them, you know, as 673 00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:20,800 Speaker 11: with the Jets, you know, draft evaluations, and so I 674 00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:23,879 Speaker 11: knew their skill set a little bit going into watching 675 00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:27,760 Speaker 11: their tape and preparing for talking with coach Brabel about 676 00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:29,800 Speaker 11: this job. I went and watched some games, you know, 677 00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:33,040 Speaker 11: from last year, and you see those same flashes of ability, 678 00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:36,439 Speaker 11: and so I think, you know, as long as the 679 00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:40,480 Speaker 11: character and the approach to this offseason matches that fresh 680 00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:43,600 Speaker 11: start mentality, I think they've got the tools to be 681 00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:46,320 Speaker 11: able to do some things and show out as NFL 682 00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:47,000 Speaker 11: wide receivers. 683 00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:50,679 Speaker 16: Just curious being in the division and you're focused on 684 00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:55,560 Speaker 16: the Patriots defense in preparation. Thoughts about Matt Drake and 685 00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:57,720 Speaker 16: you know what you saw from I know, brief glimpse 686 00:27:57,960 --> 00:27:59,680 Speaker 16: when he played against you guys the second time. 687 00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:02,119 Speaker 11: Yeah, yeah, you know, talk to him a little bit 688 00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:04,920 Speaker 11: in the pre draft process. It was it was fun 689 00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:08,120 Speaker 11: to see his personality and his football intelligence. And then 690 00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:10,680 Speaker 11: when he got an opportunity to play against us and 691 00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:12,959 Speaker 11: be part of breaking our hearts up here, you know, 692 00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:16,800 Speaker 11: you could see the competitive spirit and the growth from 693 00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:19,240 Speaker 11: from week to week and throughout the course of the season. So, 694 00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:22,040 Speaker 11: you know, very excited to be a part of an 695 00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:23,200 Speaker 11: offense that's led by him. 696 00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:23,680 Speaker 2: Thanks. 697 00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:27,920 Speaker 12: I'm sure we've heard. We just heard Josh talk about 698 00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:31,879 Speaker 12: streamlining some of the language. There's this reputation that the 699 00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:34,879 Speaker 12: Patriots playbook and language has had, like this stuff is 700 00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:38,240 Speaker 12: calculus we heard in a less elegant way said by Julian. 701 00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:38,880 Speaker 15: Edelman back in the day. 702 00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:42,040 Speaker 12: So from your perspective from being elsewhere in the league, 703 00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:44,840 Speaker 12: where it stands right now, Like, how does that stack 704 00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:47,520 Speaker 12: up against other playbooks, other language that you've been. 705 00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:47,840 Speaker 13: A part of. 706 00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:50,880 Speaker 11: I think each playbook has its challenges, right, I mean, 707 00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:53,200 Speaker 11: there's different ways to skin a cat. So it's either 708 00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:56,360 Speaker 11: super worthy so that you can get everybody lined up 709 00:28:56,360 --> 00:29:00,239 Speaker 11: in the right spot, or there's some memorization and that 710 00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:02,680 Speaker 11: comes with less burbage, right, And so both of them 711 00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:06,160 Speaker 11: have their challenges so far, you know, not having a 712 00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:08,720 Speaker 11: single rep of practice. I think we're gonna work hard 713 00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:10,240 Speaker 11: and I think we'll get this playbook down. 714 00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:12,480 Speaker 5: Stephan things when we talked to him the other week 715 00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:14,240 Speaker 5: mentioned you know you had a year with them, I 716 00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:17,640 Speaker 5: believe in Minnesota and yeah, still still remembers you Just 717 00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:19,760 Speaker 5: what do you remember about him, how much you're looking 718 00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:21,640 Speaker 5: forward to working with him? And you know, did you 719 00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:23,720 Speaker 5: play part of the recruiting process at all? 720 00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:27,000 Speaker 2: I don't know if recruiting is the right word, but 721 00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:27,400 Speaker 2: I was. 722 00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:29,760 Speaker 7: I was definitely part of the visit. I was excited 723 00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:30,440 Speaker 7: that we got him. 724 00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:32,840 Speaker 11: I can I can tell you that that. 725 00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:34,560 Speaker 7: Year with Steph was was awesome. 726 00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:36,959 Speaker 11: It was a challenging year because we weren't quite as 727 00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:41,120 Speaker 11: successful as we wanted to be, but we were able 728 00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:43,800 Speaker 11: to kind of see each other's love for the game 729 00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:47,280 Speaker 11: and competitive spirit, you know, and so seeing Steph is 730 00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:50,440 Speaker 11: a little bit more mature version of himself on the 731 00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:52,800 Speaker 11: visit here, it was so awesome to reconnect with him 732 00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:54,760 Speaker 11: and you know, just kind of see where he's at 733 00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:57,120 Speaker 11: in life and hear about some of his ups and 734 00:29:57,200 --> 00:29:59,800 Speaker 11: downs throughout the you know, years that we were apart, 735 00:29:59,840 --> 00:30:01,480 Speaker 11: but excited to be back with him for sure. 736 00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:04,800 Speaker 13: Nobody else two about Jaalen and Javon specifically, but Kayshawn 737 00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:07,720 Speaker 13: and Pop Douglas also younger players, but they've done a 738 00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:09,080 Speaker 13: little bit more in the league. What have you seen 739 00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:10,320 Speaker 13: from them just from the film. 740 00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:12,880 Speaker 11: I got a chance to see both those guys here 741 00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:14,480 Speaker 11: in the facility in the last couple of days and 742 00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:18,280 Speaker 11: meet them face to face. Cool to see their production 743 00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:20,719 Speaker 11: and kind of an up and down year, you know, 744 00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:23,440 Speaker 11: and how they were able to accomplish some things on 745 00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:26,680 Speaker 11: the field. What I've noticed, though, is that the hunger 746 00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:29,080 Speaker 11: is there, you know, to take the next step. So 747 00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:32,600 Speaker 11: I'm excited for the whole room, you know, not just 748 00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:35,000 Speaker 11: the you know, Jalen's and Javons in the world, but 749 00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:38,000 Speaker 11: the whole room to come back hungry and eager to 750 00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:39,240 Speaker 11: improve position. 751 00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:41,280 Speaker 2: Coach, I would be fighting for more and more time. 752 00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:43,760 Speaker 7: Thanks, thanks a lot to thank you.
