Speaker 1: Frank said, you really like the fact that you keep
Speaker 1: it simple things life. Can you talk about that a
Speaker 1: little bit? I wouldn't fat mean, Um, you know, just
Speaker 1: trying not to overcomplicate things, you know. I think at
Speaker 1: this position, obviously, you know you're in charge of making
Speaker 1: decisions every play, and you know there's a lot of
Speaker 1: different variables that affect that decision. But you know, if
Speaker 1: you can keep it as simple as possible and not
Speaker 1: get to the line of scrimmage and not over complicate
Speaker 1: things and put a million thoughts in your head, you know,
Speaker 1: I think it just kind of frees you up, Um,
Speaker 1: you know, to react and play a little bit faster.
Speaker 1: And I think anyone, I think you always play better
Speaker 1: when you're out there and you're really just reacting and
Speaker 1: you're not out there trying to think through things on
Speaker 1: the fly. Guys already attack. You get a sense of
Speaker 1: whether those teams could be able to run the ball effectively.
Speaker 1: Good run a team, you know, I don't know yet.
Speaker 1: You know we're gonna find out, you know, obviously, you
Speaker 1: know we're committed to it. We believe that, you know,
Speaker 1: having a solid run game, you know, will really help
Speaker 1: this offense. Obviously, you look at what they were able
Speaker 1: to do in Kansas City. You know, they were able
Speaker 1: to run the football very successfully. Um, But you know
Speaker 1: it's pretty early. Like you said, we've only been in
Speaker 1: pads a couple of days, so you know, I think
Speaker 1: next week, you know, when we're in pads for the
Speaker 1: full week, you know, I think we'll learn a lot
Speaker 1: more about our run game. And I think obviously getting
Speaker 1: into the preseason, you know, we'll find out where we're
Speaker 1: at and where we need to be coming. Between you
Speaker 1: and Las good, I think it's been really good this week. Um.
Speaker 1: You know, we've had some good exercises, some good blitz drills.
Speaker 1: You know, I thought yesterday afternoon, you know, we had
Speaker 1: a really good blitz walk through. You know, we talked
Speaker 1: through a lot of different scenarios and a couple of protections. Um.
Speaker 1: You know, but for the most part, for the first week,
Speaker 1: I thought the communication between me and him was really good.
Speaker 1: Now you're receiving the play call for the headset, whether
Speaker 1: it be a guy who's calling the or the way Doug,
Speaker 1: you think about maybe doing it by going through Frank. Um.
Speaker 1: You know, my only preference is that it comes in
Speaker 1: as quick as possible. Um, you know, obviously the quicker
Speaker 1: I get the play call, the quicker I can call
Speaker 1: it in the huddle. The more time we have on
Speaker 1: the play clock, the more time we have to make
Speaker 1: adjustments at the line of scrimmage. Um. You know, whether
Speaker 1: that's Doug, whether that's Frank, I'm not really sure. I'd
Speaker 1: probably have to see them both in action to really see, um,
Speaker 1: you know, if there was a difference in the two.
Speaker 1: But you know, for me, it's just all about efficiency,
Speaker 1: and the quicker the play comes in, the easier it is,
Speaker 1: you know, for everyone to get in the huddle, get
Speaker 1: the play called, and then get to the line of scrimmage.
Speaker 1: Do you spy things that you just assume the certain
Speaker 1: play has a million different possibilities. You just focus on
Speaker 1: certain scenarios fach position. I mean, how do you make
Speaker 1: it simple for the running backs and the wad receivers?
Speaker 1: Like following that question, Yeah, you have to keep it
Speaker 1: simple for the other guys, right, No, for myself just
Speaker 1: my thought process in general, not so much simple for
Speaker 1: those guys. Obviously they're told what to do in the
Speaker 1: play call. But you know my thought process, you know,
Speaker 1: I think if you can keep it simple and like
Speaker 1: I said, not overload yourself with thoughts going to the
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage. I think you play much better. Is
Speaker 1: that the way you were as well? Um? I think
Speaker 1: I've learned that a little bit over the years. Um.
Speaker 1: You know, I think when you're younger, it's a little
Speaker 1: bit easier, you know, at least for me, you know,
Speaker 1: to let some thoughts get into your head. And you know,
Speaker 1: you try to make the perfect play on every game,
Speaker 1: and you want to make the perfect row or the
Speaker 1: perfect read, and you realize that you can't do that
Speaker 1: every time, and that you know, getting a completion here,
Speaker 1: getting a completion there, finding a check out. Those are
Speaker 1: good plays, you know, plays that get you in second
Speaker 1: and two. That's a lot better than trying to make
Speaker 1: them perfect throw on first and ten and now you're
Speaker 1: stuck in second and ten. So I think it's kind
Speaker 1: of a natural progression of things that you just learn,
Speaker 1: you know, throughout your career. What do you what do
Speaker 1: you think he needs if you do really get a
Speaker 1: kind of guy that are pretty radicating. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: I think you know, we've all seen Nelson's physical abilities.
Speaker 1: I mean, he's explosive, you know, he's got a lot
Speaker 1: of quick twitch. You know, he's very he separates at
Speaker 1: the line, he separates at the top. Um, you know,
Speaker 1: I'm sure you could ask him, but you know, I
Speaker 1: could imagine. You know, anytime you're a young player, doesn't
Speaker 1: matter what position you're playing. I think there's still part
Speaker 1: of that process where you know, you're thinking a lot.
Speaker 1: And I think, you know, as he gets older, you know,
Speaker 1: as he gets more experienced, as he sees more looks
Speaker 1: from defenses, you know, I think a lot of that
Speaker 1: will probably be cut out and he'll go out there
Speaker 1: and he'll just naturally react to things. And I think, um,
Speaker 1: you know, hopefully he can start doing that. But you know,
Speaker 1: I think he's shown some flashes and he's made some
Speaker 1: play is where you could really help us this year.
Speaker 1: So keeping yourself a bit exactly, Yeah, I think things
Speaker 1: shit working through the new offseason. Um, you're starting from
Speaker 1: the contract and grand, is there any piece of advice
Speaker 1: you perceived or thought that you think that it is
Speaker 1: kind of flu Just deal with the situation. Um, you know,
Speaker 1: I'll probably just control what you can control. You know,
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, that's all you can do. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, that's really kind of been a mantur of
Speaker 1: mind for a while. But you know, each day, just
Speaker 1: come out, give your best, try to get better, try
Speaker 1: to help this football team, and don't worry about everything
Speaker 1: else because there's a million other things going on, you know,
Speaker 1: outside this building, outside this team, that I and no
Speaker 1: one else in that locker room has control of. So
Speaker 1: really just controlling, you know what I have the power
Speaker 1: to control. We had a good reception, yet agraph were
Speaker 1: you wondering how that would go and it would all
Speaker 1: be about Carson? Um? I mean I think obviously I
Speaker 1: knew there would be a lot of excitement for everyone
Speaker 1: to see him, but I thought it was great yesterday. Anytime,
Speaker 1: you know, we can get over there and get in
Speaker 1: front of our fans and practice, um, you know, it's fun.
Speaker 1: It changes it up a little bit for us, kind
Speaker 1: of takes away some of the monotony of being over
Speaker 1: here no offense, but practicing in front of you guys
Speaker 1: every day. So great, Carson, what's going on? Yeah? I
Speaker 1: think he's done a great job. You know, obviously with
Speaker 1: this offense. Um, you know, there's a lot on the
Speaker 1: quarterbacks point, there's a lot of decisions that have to
Speaker 1: be made. You know, there's a lot of different footworks,
Speaker 1: a lot of different rhythms. But you know, he's done
Speaker 1: a great job. You know, it's a rookie to come
Speaker 1: in to absorb all that information and to take it
Speaker 1: onto the practice deal. You know, I think he's done
Speaker 1: a great job. Say, we're gonna say whole thing with Carson.
Speaker 1: I mean we all everybody could hear him, the fans channel,
Speaker 1: you know, we want plans and everything. I mean, there's
Speaker 1: the same thing when you were in Saint Louis, right
Speaker 1: when you were rooking Melancholy. I mean, yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: it's one, like I said, I mean, obviously it's the
Speaker 1: second thing in the draft. You know, there's gonna be
Speaker 1: excitement about that. You know, I think it's good. You know,
Speaker 1: it's good for this team, you know obviously, Um, and
Speaker 1: it's one of those things you know, I just got
Speaker 1: to deal with. And really I don't think it's that
Speaker 1: big of a deal at all, to be honest, A
Speaker 1: day to day basically we're not asking people about the team.
Speaker 1: That's awesome. In terms of learning to playbel just said
Speaker 1: that takes time. What's your day to day de jacket
Speaker 1: between seven rafts here, what's your databay? You know, just
Speaker 1: get better. You know, right now in training camp, we're
Speaker 1: still in the phase where we're still installing every day.
Speaker 1: So usually when we come onto the field, you know,
Speaker 1: that day we're running plays that are new, um, you know,
Speaker 1: trying to master those plays, trying to learn from what
Speaker 1: we're doing, um, you know the day before, but really
Speaker 1: that day focused on what's the situation that day. The
Speaker 1: situation you know, tends to change, and the special cat
Speaker 1: and things. You know, really just taking it day by
Speaker 1: day and focusing on you know, what's given to us
Speaker 1: the night before, coming out, trying to execute get those
Speaker 1: plays the next day, and then if we make a
Speaker 1: mistake or something happens, we'll go over there and talk
Speaker 1: about it and figure out what needs to get better
Speaker 1: for us to improve that plays. Yeah,
