1 00:00:04,519 --> 00:00:07,640 Speaker 1: Well, what's it been like year two as opposed to 2 00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:09,360 Speaker 1: last spring coming out here? 3 00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:14,160 Speaker 2: It's been great. It's anytime you're in a second year offense. 4 00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:16,799 Speaker 2: It's a completely different feel from you know, when you 5 00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:21,160 Speaker 2: first start your installing plays, you're installing alignments and you're 6 00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:24,000 Speaker 2: talking about guys just trying to understand what they're doing. 7 00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:26,280 Speaker 2: Now you can really detail it up. You can talk 8 00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:28,880 Speaker 2: about the intricacies of the route. You can experiment with 9 00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:32,159 Speaker 2: new plays, new motions, all kinds of different fun things. 10 00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:34,800 Speaker 2: So it's been really good. I think the guys have 11 00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:35,479 Speaker 2: really enjoyed it. 12 00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:38,280 Speaker 1: Do you sense some of the veterans in the system, 13 00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:42,920 Speaker 1: even like a young guy like Brice Hall, they feel 14 00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:46,560 Speaker 1: more confident and they'll be able to move quicker because 15 00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:47,680 Speaker 1: they have a better grasp of. 16 00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:49,960 Speaker 2: The system without a doubt. I mean you look at 17 00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:52,760 Speaker 2: you know, guys like Garrett, Guys like Breece. Those two 18 00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:55,760 Speaker 2: guys came in the first year, had a whole system change, 19 00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:57,520 Speaker 2: so I had to learn a whole new system. They 20 00:00:57,560 --> 00:00:59,240 Speaker 2: didn't even have that same system two years in a 21 00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:01,400 Speaker 2: row to now the their first time having the system 22 00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:04,960 Speaker 2: two years in a row. Guys like Xavier, you know, 23 00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:06,600 Speaker 2: being able to come in and have a second year 24 00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:09,319 Speaker 2: in the same system. So he's not again learning what 25 00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:12,560 Speaker 2: this route is. Now he's truly running the route. 26 00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:19,320 Speaker 1: How does the system change because after four snaps last year, 27 00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:24,639 Speaker 1: you had totally altered what you were doing because Aaron 28 00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:27,800 Speaker 1: is a central part of what you were going to 29 00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:29,320 Speaker 1: do in twenty twenty three. 30 00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:32,199 Speaker 2: Yes, I mean when you have a guy like Aaron, 31 00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:34,560 Speaker 2: you want to build everything around him. I think anybody 32 00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:38,000 Speaker 2: would want to do that. And when he went down, 33 00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:40,920 Speaker 2: we had to make adjustments. I still think about that 34 00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:42,560 Speaker 2: game quite a bit, you know. I give so much 35 00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:45,360 Speaker 2: credit to that group being able to come together and 36 00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:47,720 Speaker 2: still find a way to win that football game. And 37 00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:49,200 Speaker 2: but yeah, you have to make changes. You have to 38 00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:52,120 Speaker 2: work with the guys that you have, and having Aaron back, 39 00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:53,720 Speaker 2: we get to work with him. Have a guy like 40 00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:58,040 Speaker 2: Tyrod Taylor, another veteran, experienced guy, it allows you to 41 00:01:58,080 --> 00:01:59,520 Speaker 2: do a lot of those things you. 42 00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:02,560 Speaker 1: Were just talking about here before, and I mentioned Breece. 43 00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:06,760 Speaker 1: What does it say about like you were talking about 44 00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:08,880 Speaker 1: that it was their second year in the National Football 45 00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:11,720 Speaker 1: League and they were still able to produce like that. 46 00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 1: Garrett played with four different quarterbacks last year, becomes the 47 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:19,519 Speaker 1: first Jet ever in back to back seasons to start 48 00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:22,000 Speaker 1: a career goal over one thousand yards receiving. And then 49 00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:26,160 Speaker 1: he got bree who's playing in a new system, you 50 00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:29,880 Speaker 1: have quarterback instability, and he still goes from more than 51 00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:32,600 Speaker 1: fifteen hundred yards from scrimmage off in ACL. 52 00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:35,720 Speaker 2: Yeah. No, it's impressive. I mean you look at Breee 53 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:37,640 Speaker 2: and just you know the amount of work that he 54 00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:39,680 Speaker 2: put in to get back and be able to play 55 00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:41,280 Speaker 2: at a high level. And it was a little slow 56 00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:43,360 Speaker 2: to start as he was working himself back in, but 57 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,240 Speaker 2: watching him slowly get better and better as a season win. 58 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:48,760 Speaker 2: I mean that checked down versus the Giants that went 59 00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:50,919 Speaker 2: for fifty. I mean, chose what he's capable of. You 60 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,000 Speaker 2: can throw him a two yard pass and they could 61 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,360 Speaker 2: go the distance. A guy like Garrett to have so 62 00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:57,359 Speaker 2: many different guys in his first two years throwing the 63 00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:59,720 Speaker 2: football and still be able to have the production that 64 00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:02,200 Speaker 2: he as you know, to credit to those guys, and 65 00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:05,279 Speaker 2: it's frustrating at times because you want to have consistency 66 00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:08,359 Speaker 2: across the board. But they've you know, kept their heads down, 67 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:10,640 Speaker 2: they do their job, and they continually try to strive 68 00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:11,399 Speaker 2: to get better. 69 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:15,720 Speaker 1: Different personalities, But can you talk about the similarities with 70 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:19,560 Speaker 1: Garrett and Breese. Breese was just talking before he said, 71 00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:25,440 Speaker 1: you know, I probably had too few many drops last year, 72 00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:28,360 Speaker 1: and Garrett's always talking about I haven't done anything in 73 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:29,680 Speaker 1: the national football yet. 74 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 2: You know, Brice, I's crazy to think that those two 75 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:36,120 Speaker 2: guys were one and two in most receptions. I believe. 76 00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:38,120 Speaker 2: I think it was right around there with Conklin in there. 77 00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:41,800 Speaker 2: But you know, Breece is a humble guy, you know, 78 00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,480 Speaker 2: I mean, both of them are humble guys, and but 79 00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 2: they're very fiery competitors, and uh, you know, there were 80 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:50,280 Speaker 2: a lot of opportunities that we could have taken advantage 81 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:51,600 Speaker 2: of it to get them the ball more, I think, 82 00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,520 Speaker 2: and we need to take advantage of those and Garrett, 83 00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,000 Speaker 2: you know, I mean just to be able to get 84 00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 2: the production that he has, Like I said, without that consistency. 85 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,960 Speaker 2: You know, when you get that consistency, it's going to 86 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,040 Speaker 2: be it's going to be fun to watch him out there. 87 00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:07,400 Speaker 1: What's different about those guys because I don't think you 88 00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:10,800 Speaker 1: get the sense just watching on TV as opposed to 89 00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:13,840 Speaker 1: maybe coming out here and taking in practice, like we 90 00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:16,159 Speaker 1: have the opportunity to you're coaching on the field, but 91 00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:20,479 Speaker 1: Garrett just moves differently to other people. Can you speak 92 00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:20,719 Speaker 1: to that. 93 00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:25,440 Speaker 2: The thing with Garrett is is he truly wants the 94 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:30,080 Speaker 2: ball every play and whether you know it's it's there 95 00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:32,800 Speaker 2: or not there, I mean it's whether you know we 96 00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:35,200 Speaker 2: could do something different. I mean he wants I mean, 97 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:36,800 Speaker 2: he just wants to make as many plays as he can. 98 00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:38,880 Speaker 2: I mean he is the ultimate ultimate competitor. I mean 99 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,520 Speaker 2: he switches, has this switch that he turns on once 100 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:43,120 Speaker 2: he walks out and it doesn't matter if it's practice 101 00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:45,840 Speaker 2: or a game. And you got to love that. I 102 00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:48,000 Speaker 2: mean that's what you want from a premier player. You 103 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,440 Speaker 2: want them to want the ball every second, no matter what, 104 00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:53,839 Speaker 2: no matter what the period is, whether it's a walkthrough 105 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:57,320 Speaker 2: or a or a practice period or a game. And 106 00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:00,320 Speaker 2: so I just love that about him. And you know 107 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:02,160 Speaker 2: he is a fiery competitor and it's gonna be fun 108 00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:02,839 Speaker 2: getting him the ball. 109 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:05,200 Speaker 1: Can you talk about the connection that he has with Aaron. 110 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:09,000 Speaker 1: We saw it last year before Aaron going down, but 111 00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:12,080 Speaker 1: you've seen it here throughout the off season as well. 112 00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:13,359 Speaker 1: Just continue to grow. 113 00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:16,279 Speaker 2: Oh, it definitely is, and it needs to grow even 114 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:18,799 Speaker 2: more as we get closer to the game, they still 115 00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:21,400 Speaker 2: don't have a lot of game experience together. So it's 116 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:24,680 Speaker 2: one thing in practice to continually do it. But versus 117 00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:27,040 Speaker 2: a very good defense that we go against every single day. 118 00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:29,279 Speaker 2: But they got to get out there on the field 119 00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:32,240 Speaker 2: and get that feel for each other and be able 120 00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:34,960 Speaker 2: to from the different checks and different audibles that we 121 00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:38,080 Speaker 2: love to do. If we have advantageous looks and just 122 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:39,599 Speaker 2: continually developed together. 123 00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:42,159 Speaker 1: What kind of different looks do you expect from defenses 124 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:45,680 Speaker 1: after Priests put together that season. But now Aaron's coming 125 00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:50,640 Speaker 1: back and he's healthy, you can't say to Aaron Rodgers, oh, 126 00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:52,560 Speaker 1: we're just gonna load up the box, We're gonna stop 127 00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:54,920 Speaker 1: them wrong, go ahead to you know, try to beat us, 128 00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:58,640 Speaker 1: because we've seen how that has worked. Nobody is ever 129 00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:00,279 Speaker 1: going to approach defund an. Aaron alle that. 130 00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:03,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, being with him those three years at 131 00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:07,440 Speaker 2: Green Bay, it was it was fascinating because you know, 132 00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:09,360 Speaker 2: as coaches, you do everything you can to try to 133 00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:11,599 Speaker 2: find different ways to get guys the ball, and you 134 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:13,680 Speaker 2: look at all the tendencies, you look at all the analytics, 135 00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:15,960 Speaker 2: you look at all the numbers, and you know, I've 136 00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:19,320 Speaker 2: been in situations when you know, you tell tell Aaron 137 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:21,560 Speaker 2: that hey, this is this is what you're gonna get, 138 00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:23,600 Speaker 2: this is what they're going to do, and they give 139 00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:27,719 Speaker 2: you something completely different. So it really ranges by games. 140 00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:29,880 Speaker 2: Some guys have philosophies that they're going to just do 141 00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:33,240 Speaker 2: exactly what they know because I feel that's their best chance. 142 00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:36,479 Speaker 2: Some guys wholesale change and they'll play completely different defenses 143 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:39,320 Speaker 2: than they've ever done, or go, you know, out of 144 00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:41,800 Speaker 2: their comfort level just to try to mess with Aaron 145 00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:43,400 Speaker 2: a little bit. So we have to be ready for 146 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:45,360 Speaker 2: anything and everything all the time with him out there. 147 00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:49,800 Speaker 1: What's the luxury as a play caller if you're in 148 00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:53,560 Speaker 1: a walkie talkie out here, or it's in game, you're 149 00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:56,760 Speaker 1: in a booth and you call that play knowing that 150 00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:02,159 Speaker 1: Aaron has seen everything defense could possibly throw at him. 151 00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:06,720 Speaker 1: So there are times maybe you're sitting there up there 152 00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,400 Speaker 1: as a play caller and you get cut off, maybe 153 00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:11,920 Speaker 1: you don't like that play, but he has the ability 154 00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:13,480 Speaker 1: to help you get into something else. 155 00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:17,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, the great thing about Aaron is whenever we talk 156 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,800 Speaker 2: about a play, everything for us is about the intention 157 00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:22,720 Speaker 2: of the play. You call it for a purpose, something 158 00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:26,440 Speaker 2: that you're truly trying to attack, and not every play 159 00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:29,280 Speaker 2: works for us. Everything otherwise everybody in the NFL would 160 00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:31,360 Speaker 2: probably call that exact same play over and over again. 161 00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:34,160 Speaker 2: So there's different ways to take things away. So Aaron 162 00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:36,640 Speaker 2: gives you that ability that he knows why that play 163 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,000 Speaker 2: was called, so he can get you to something else. 164 00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:41,480 Speaker 2: I think that's something that we're always pushing and striving for. 165 00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:45,080 Speaker 2: Is we know we wanted this verse, whatever we were 166 00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:47,160 Speaker 2: looking for. Hey, they didn't give it to us. They 167 00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:49,600 Speaker 2: change it up. Okay, Aaron, let's get to something else 168 00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:52,440 Speaker 2: and let those guys get used to that potentially changing 169 00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:54,520 Speaker 2: so he can get a premiere play. 170 00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:59,080 Speaker 1: Can you talk about his memory, the way he reflects 171 00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:03,200 Speaker 1: on maybe something and that happened then eighteen or fifteen, 172 00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:08,560 Speaker 1: like everything. As far as this is where data, I 173 00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:11,760 Speaker 1: just rush or come free from the left side. The 174 00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:14,640 Speaker 1: safety was sneaking up over here. I saw they. He 175 00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:17,280 Speaker 1: talk about those conversations that you guys have in the 176 00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:23,040 Speaker 1: meeting room, and it's isn't it something truly unique? As 177 00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:24,720 Speaker 1: far as what he brings to the table from the 178 00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:25,360 Speaker 1: mental part of. 179 00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:28,200 Speaker 2: The game, it is, you know, as a coach, I 180 00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:30,680 Speaker 2: feel like we memorize every single play that we've ever 181 00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:34,120 Speaker 2: called or been a part of. Yeah, and some players 182 00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:36,920 Speaker 2: have that ability. Some just kind of play each play 183 00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:40,280 Speaker 2: and then you know, don't remember it. I mean, this guy, 184 00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:42,600 Speaker 2: you know, anytime you're going to present him with something, 185 00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:44,679 Speaker 2: you have to be sure you've checked it all the 186 00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:47,480 Speaker 2: way back to when he first started playing, because you'll 187 00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:50,800 Speaker 2: be sitting there and he'll say, you know, oh, I 188 00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:54,280 Speaker 2: remember in twenty ten when I threw this ball to 189 00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:56,480 Speaker 2: the right and had a sidestep left, and I mean 190 00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:58,280 Speaker 2: you're just like, really, and then you always want to 191 00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:00,440 Speaker 2: go back and check it. And the far this he'll 192 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:02,560 Speaker 2: be off is maybe the quarter you know from the game. 193 00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:04,600 Speaker 2: He might have said second quarter, it was first quarter, 194 00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:05,720 Speaker 2: but it is. 195 00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:11,040 Speaker 1: It's uncanny what's he been like this time around coming 196 00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:13,920 Speaker 1: off to Achilles, Because you guys talked about when he 197 00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:17,920 Speaker 1: came back to practice last year. I know Brick was 198 00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:19,840 Speaker 1: in here just a couple of days ago and saying, 199 00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:22,120 Speaker 1: you know, he's slicing and dicing us up. Pisses you 200 00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:26,079 Speaker 1: off when you're playing against him, but knowing that he's forty, 201 00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:28,640 Speaker 1: knowing this is second time around, he's going to turn 202 00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:30,840 Speaker 1: forty one in December and knowing a lot of people 203 00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:35,160 Speaker 1: are counting them out this time. How different is it? 204 00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:38,520 Speaker 2: I heard the new the forty was the new twenty. Yeah, so, 205 00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:43,120 Speaker 2: and that's kind of his you know, how he's presented himself, 206 00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:47,079 Speaker 2: you know, I mean he's young and spry and fired up. 207 00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:50,160 Speaker 2: I think he's really enjoying himself. We're doing as much 208 00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:52,640 Speaker 2: as we can to try to stimulate him, and because 209 00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:55,360 Speaker 2: there's certain plays that he's done so many times, and 210 00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:57,079 Speaker 2: so you want to try to find ways to spice 211 00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:59,520 Speaker 2: it up for him, whether it's with different players or 212 00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:03,760 Speaker 2: different or different personnels, different formations. And I think he's 213 00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:06,040 Speaker 2: really enjoyed it and all the things that we're trying 214 00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:08,559 Speaker 2: to do to just try to help him grow and 215 00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:10,040 Speaker 2: enjoy himself. 216 00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:12,960 Speaker 1: Have you been able to take a sigh of relief? 217 00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:16,400 Speaker 1: Games Sam have been played. I know this, but that's 218 00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:19,320 Speaker 1: awfully difficult for any play caller in the National Football 219 00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:23,040 Speaker 1: League to not only lose your quarterback, but you had 220 00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:26,600 Speaker 1: thirteen different offensive line combinations. Now, when you see Tyron 221 00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:29,360 Speaker 1: Smith and you see John Simpson, you see Morgan Moses, 222 00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:32,599 Speaker 1: you see Olu Fashion, you see these other duth pieces 223 00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:34,920 Speaker 1: who've been able to get some good reps out here, 224 00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:38,440 Speaker 1: like the Carter Warrens of the World or Wes or Max, 225 00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:44,679 Speaker 1: and a list goes on. Does it get yet excited 226 00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:48,200 Speaker 1: for the potential of this group up front after everything 227 00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:49,520 Speaker 1: you guys endured last year? 228 00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:52,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I mean you're right, there were a lot 229 00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:54,640 Speaker 2: of things that we had to It was a lot 230 00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:57,360 Speaker 2: of adversity. Yeah, And I think with adversity build strength, 231 00:10:58,120 --> 00:10:59,920 Speaker 2: And like you had said, I think some of that 232 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:02,160 Speaker 2: experience that the guys had, whether it was the young 233 00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:05,320 Speaker 2: wide receivers, the offensive linemen that we're just coming into 234 00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:07,360 Speaker 2: the building and starting right away or having to go 235 00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:10,240 Speaker 2: right in, it's something that that is great for them 236 00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:12,440 Speaker 2: to be able to grow and get that game tape, 237 00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:15,800 Speaker 2: feel more confidence and for us, you know, you can't 238 00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:18,280 Speaker 2: necessarily get excited yet. There's still long ways away. Like 239 00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:20,000 Speaker 2: you said before that first game, we still have a 240 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:21,679 Speaker 2: lot of work to do. The guy's got to get 241 00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:23,520 Speaker 2: on the same page. We need to have some consistency, 242 00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:26,360 Speaker 2: and I think is that, you know, we slowly get 243 00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:28,560 Speaker 2: closer and closer. I think that's when that excitement will build. 244 00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:30,240 Speaker 1: What's the most impressive thing about Tyra. 245 00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:34,920 Speaker 2: I mean, he's a very very big human being that 246 00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:39,040 Speaker 2: can move well. I mean, it's that's probably the nicest way. 247 00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:40,880 Speaker 2: I mean, you see him walk out there, and I 248 00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:43,720 Speaker 2: mean he's a specimen. Yeah, and watching his body control 249 00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:46,240 Speaker 2: his ability to run. I mean, he had a couple 250 00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:49,280 Speaker 2: things he did today that I mean, just some moves 251 00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:51,120 Speaker 2: that he was able to pick up with, you know, 252 00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:55,480 Speaker 2: very elite quick twitch defensive ends that. I mean, it's unbelievable. 253 00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:57,560 Speaker 1: He's so natural fluid, it's crazy it is. 254 00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:00,640 Speaker 2: He doesn't lose a step, he doesn't waste step, and 255 00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:03,440 Speaker 2: he's unbelievably talented. So you know, it's been fun to 256 00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:05,679 Speaker 2: get to know him. He's really really good dude, and 257 00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:07,400 Speaker 2: I'm excited to have him here. 258 00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:11,360 Speaker 1: What about John Simpson, He really revitalized his career in 259 00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:13,760 Speaker 1: Baltimore with a breakthrough. Now you guys bring him in. 260 00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:16,040 Speaker 2: I'll tell you he had really great tape last year. 261 00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:18,000 Speaker 2: I thought he did some really good things and we 262 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:19,880 Speaker 2: were so excited to be able to get him. And 263 00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:22,360 Speaker 2: as another guy, you know, it's another just from a 264 00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:25,240 Speaker 2: personality standpoint, I mean, it's such a great culture fit 265 00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:27,800 Speaker 2: to go in that room, and you know, he's had 266 00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:30,360 Speaker 2: a lot of success.

It's been since 283 00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:15,400 Speaker 2: I think like week five or so, so it'll be 284 00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:16,280 Speaker 2: good to have him back. 285 00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:18,200 Speaker 1: I know. And if you guys get the Broncos here 286 00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:19,959 Speaker 1: so you don't got to worry about going to Denver 287 00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:23,960 Speaker 1: this year. Unfortunately, each of his last two years and 288 00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:25,880 Speaker 1: he had done for Broncos are coming here. We don't 289 00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:30,600 Speaker 1: got to worry about that this year. Mike Williams, obviously 290 00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:34,280 Speaker 1: he's working his way back from the ACLS. Probably similar 291 00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:38,160 Speaker 1: plan that you guys had with Breese in terms of medically. 292 00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:43,120 Speaker 1: What did you like about the tape that Mike has 293 00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:46,040 Speaker 1: put forth throughout his career as a charger. 294 00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:48,240 Speaker 2: I mean, he's been an elite player in this league 295 00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:50,199 Speaker 2: for a long time. I mean his ability to get 296 00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:53,520 Speaker 2: down the field, whether it's the contested fifty to fifty balls, 297 00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:56,559 Speaker 2: routing people up, doing different things. I mean, he's shown 298 00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:59,240 Speaker 2: that he can consistently win. And I think that's something 299 00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:01,319 Speaker 2: you know, for a guy like Aaron, for Tyrod, those 300 00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:03,559 Speaker 2: two guys, to have a guy like that out there, 301 00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:06,800 Speaker 2: you know, a veteran guy that can stretch the field, 302 00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:08,920 Speaker 2: can do some of those big body things. That's something 303 00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:09,840 Speaker 2: all quarterbacks love. 304 00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:12,240 Speaker 1: Do you like his personality seems like a fun guy 305 00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:14,320 Speaker 1: to being around, and we can say that about a 306 00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:15,040 Speaker 1: lot of these guys. 307 00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:17,360 Speaker 2: It's a good group. It's a real good group, man. 308 00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:20,120 Speaker 2: I mean, I'm really really excited to work with all 309 00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:22,120 Speaker 2: of them, and adding Mike to it. I mean, he's 310 00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:24,200 Speaker 2: been a great addition I mean he hasn't been able 311 00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:26,000 Speaker 2: to be out there with us, but you see him 312 00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:28,400 Speaker 2: on the side. He's working his tail off and that's 313 00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:30,080 Speaker 2: all you can ask for, and he's picking up the 314 00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:31,360 Speaker 2: system and getting ready to get back. 315 00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:35,960 Speaker 1: How is the rookie Malchi Corley adapt into the league 316 00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:38,280 Speaker 1: just in terms of practices and what you guys are 317 00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:41,440 Speaker 1: asking to do because at wku to trying to get 318 00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:44,560 Speaker 1: the ball in his hands, but you guys are going 319 00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:47,600 Speaker 1: to do a lot of different things in terms of 320 00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:48,720 Speaker 1: what you're going to ask him to do. 321 00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:52,120 Speaker 2: Rob wise, Yeah, you know, he had a great college 322 00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:54,160 Speaker 2: highlight tape.

I mean, i mean 325 00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:00,960 Speaker 2: it's all over the tape. I mean he's hunting up contact, 326 00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:04,400 Speaker 2: he embraces it. But you know, he's a rookie and 327 00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:07,400 Speaker 2: rookies need some time to develop and it's a new system. 328 00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:10,440 Speaker 2: There's lots of formations, lots of routes, and we were 329 00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:12,440 Speaker 2: trying to kind of throw everything at him and see 330 00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:14,200 Speaker 2: what sticks and see where that goes. 331 00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:16,720 Speaker 1: What's he like in the classroom because he seems like 332 00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:18,360 Speaker 1: he's got a good way about himself. 333 00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:21,760 Speaker 2: He does, he does. All the rookies got to work hard.

Now that he's got a year 337 00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:31,320 Speaker 1: under his belt. 338 00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:34,800 Speaker 2: Oh, it's like we said, I mean that the experience 339 00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:38,080 Speaker 2: that he got last year is priceless. I mean, we 340 00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:39,720 Speaker 2: all know about his speed, we all know what he 341 00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:43,000 Speaker 2: could do punt returning, and the confidence that he got 342 00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:45,440 Speaker 2: last year. I think he had a touchdown on a 343 00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:47,840 Speaker 2: sweep and had a couple of catches here and there. 344 00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:49,920 Speaker 2: But you know, it was a brand new for him. 345 00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:53,080 Speaker 2: You know, it's a long season, you know, seventeen game 346 00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:55,360 Speaker 2: season for all the rookies. It's hard to kind of 347 00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:57,960 Speaker 2: get used to that that first year. And now he 348 00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:00,760 Speaker 2: knows and he got that experience. I mean, he's a tough, 349 00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:04,640 Speaker 2: tough kid, awesome person. Love being around him, and you know, 350 00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:07,360 Speaker 2: we just want to keep pushing him and let him 351 00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:08,440 Speaker 2: utilize that juice. 352 00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:13,040 Speaker 1: Let's talk about your tight end group. The guy keeps 353 00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:16,760 Speaker 1: on popping on the screen to me, who hit an 354 00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:20,640 Speaker 1: under the radar season? Last year's Tyler Conkla. I mean 355 00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:22,920 Speaker 1: he had sixty plus catches last year, so that was 356 00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:27,320 Speaker 1: a career high. I'm just wondering what his capabilities are 357 00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:29,960 Speaker 1: playing with Rogers for a full year. But can you 358 00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:32,240 Speaker 1: talk about the group as a whole, not just conk 359 00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:35,960 Speaker 1: but Rucker. We see you bowl out there, Flash and 360 00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:37,720 Speaker 1: Zach koons under near two. 361 00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:40,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, all those guys. I mean they're such a versatile group. 362 00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:43,640 Speaker 2: I think anytime you have a tight end position, you're 363 00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:45,320 Speaker 2: always kind of searching for that guy that can do 364 00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:48,960 Speaker 2: a little bit of everything, whether it's pass, reteched, run, block, run, route, 365 00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:52,800 Speaker 2: stretch the field. And from that standpoint, those guys are 366 00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:54,720 Speaker 2: really good. I mean you could put all three out 367 00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:56,120 Speaker 2: there and you could throw the ball. You could put 368 00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:58,800 Speaker 2: all three out there and pound the rock. So I 369 00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:00,640 Speaker 2: think all of them, they all work well together. They 370 00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:02,880 Speaker 2: all really cheer each other on, They support each other, 371 00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:04,760 Speaker 2: they love working together, they love being out there with 372 00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:07,199 Speaker 2: each other, and that's what you're looking for first and 373 00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:09,760 Speaker 2: foremost so just to see them develop as a group. 374 00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:11,560 Speaker 2: You know, Coach Middleton I think has just done such 375 00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:13,600 Speaker 2: a great job with those guys. I mean Ruck's doing 376 00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:16,000 Speaker 2: all kinds of different stuff. Tyler like you said, I mean, 377 00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:18,240 Speaker 2: he's doing a lot of stuff in the past game 378 00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:21,359 Speaker 2: and still excelling in the run game. So all of them. 379 00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:22,920 Speaker 2: It'll be fun once we get the pads on to 380 00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:25,440 Speaker 2: see how much farther they can go. But but it's 381 00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:26,320 Speaker 2: a good group to be with. 382 00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:32,040 Speaker 1: What's Conk's best ability receivings? What's that calling for? 383 00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:33,239 Speaker 2: That secret? Come on? 384 00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:37,240 Speaker 1: You know people have talked about contested catches. 385 00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:39,120 Speaker 2: I'll tell you he had a couple of really nice 386 00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:40,840 Speaker 2: ones last year. I mean when he had a guy 387 00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:43,480 Speaker 2: draped all over him. He's able to jump, extend his 388 00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:46,520 Speaker 2: hands out there and make those tough catches. But he 389 00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:48,600 Speaker 2: has this natural savvy about him when he when he 390 00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:51,160 Speaker 2: runs routes, whether it's the first level or second level, 391 00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:54,639 Speaker 2: he has the ability to snap down shake some people ups. 392 00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:56,640 Speaker 2: It's one of those things you don't know if he can, 393 00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:58,480 Speaker 2: but he's just got a little bit of wiggle to him. 394 00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:00,560 Speaker 2: So it's it's been fun to watch developed. 395 00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:01,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think he could have a big year for 396 00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:04,919 Speaker 1: you guys. How about a couple of new assistants on 397 00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:08,280 Speaker 1: your staff Sean Jefferson leading up to the wide receivers 398 00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:09,119 Speaker 1: O G. 399 00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:11,159 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean he's a guy. I mean, obviously he 400 00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:13,280 Speaker 2: did it for a long time in this league. Uh, 401 00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:15,840 Speaker 2: and he's a great man. Getting to know him. I 402 00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:17,919 Speaker 2: had only met him a couple of times before he 403 00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:20,840 Speaker 2: came here, but uh, you know, he's a great man. 404 00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:22,639 Speaker 2: I mean, he's been doing this for a long time 405 00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:25,159 Speaker 2: and he's old school. His old school comes, you know. 406 00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:30,160 Speaker 2: I mean, it's it's about running hard and real. 407 00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:33,800 Speaker 1: But the guy's gravitator, the guy's gravatory towards him. He played, 408 00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:35,919 Speaker 1: like you said, he played in the league. But at 409 00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:38,280 Speaker 1: the same time, he asked a lot of them but 410 00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:40,360 Speaker 1: nobody said, nah, I don't want to do. 411 00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:42,560 Speaker 2: It that way, no doubt. I mean it's you know, 412 00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:44,639 Speaker 2: kind of like having a guy like Ron Middleton. You know, 413 00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:47,200 Speaker 2: you got Ron who played years in the league. You 414 00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:49,000 Speaker 2: got Sean that's played years in the league. Both of 415 00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:51,280 Speaker 2: those guys, you know, gone to the Super Bowl, won 416 00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:54,560 Speaker 2: it all that kind of stuff, And I mean it's 417 00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:56,520 Speaker 2: instant credibility. You know, they're not going to ask you 418 00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:58,879 Speaker 2: to do something that they didn't do themselves. So I 419 00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:01,800 Speaker 2: think that's something that those guys really really appreciate. 420 00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:04,040 Speaker 1: What about Tony douth Now he's working with a lot 421 00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:06,679 Speaker 1: of young running backs behind Priests there, and Priest is 422 00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:07,600 Speaker 1: still young himself. 423 00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:11,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, no doubt. I mean, Tony's another really great guy 424 00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:14,520 Speaker 2: and just being around him, his energy and his love 425 00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:17,480 Speaker 2: for the game, his voice, it carries across the whole field. 426 00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:19,800 Speaker 2: Now you can hear him from a mile away and 427 00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:23,080 Speaker 2: really have enjoyed working with him. And you know, I 428 00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:25,399 Speaker 2: think he's gonna be great for those young backs. You know, 429 00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:27,639 Speaker 2: he's worked with some young backs and decent backs the 430 00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:29,720 Speaker 2: past couple of years at Tennessee. It was a pretty 431 00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:32,639 Speaker 2: good one there, so and he knows this system, he 432 00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:35,000 Speaker 2: knows what we're looking for, and he holds him accountable. 433 00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:36,000 Speaker 2: And you hear it. 434 00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:39,000 Speaker 1: I know you're not going to get ahead of yourself. 435 00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:42,280 Speaker 1: And you cautioned me when we're talking about rookies, But 436 00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:46,159 Speaker 1: what do you think about Braylan Allen and Isaiah Davis 437 00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:50,440 Speaker 1: here early on in their career and what they bring 438 00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:52,399 Speaker 1: to the table, maybe what they were asked to do 439 00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:55,200 Speaker 1: collegiately and what they've done in short so far. 440 00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:57,000 Speaker 2: No, you know, they've done a really good job. I 441 00:19:57,960 --> 00:19:59,840 Speaker 2: Like I said, it's always these rookies. Yeah, you know, 442 00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:03,240 Speaker 2: you get very excited about them, and but it is 443 00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:05,119 Speaker 2: a different speed, it's a different level, you know, from 444 00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:08,920 Speaker 2: the pass protection demands that they have to understanding the 445 00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:10,600 Speaker 2: routes and then at the same time just being able 446 00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:12,520 Speaker 2: to run the ball. So there's so many things to 447 00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:15,919 Speaker 2: learn in this game, and I think that they're really 448 00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:19,639 Speaker 2: just you know, headfirst, diving in and trying to grasp 449 00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:21,199 Speaker 2: as much as they can. And then you throw a 450 00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:23,720 Speaker 2: guy like Aaron Rodgers back there and that puts a 451 00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:26,480 Speaker 2: lot of demands on them also, but just their communication 452 00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:29,119 Speaker 2: that you know, they're really working hard to learn it 453 00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:30,560 Speaker 2: all so they can come out and help us out, 454 00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:31,440 Speaker 2: help us on the field. 455 00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:33,880 Speaker 1: One of the things that Brian Baldinger and I were 456 00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:38,280 Speaker 1: talking about last week was one of the plays that 457 00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:43,280 Speaker 1: you had Isaiah move in. He went in motion and 458 00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:48,360 Speaker 1: Aaron was working some cadence which he always does, and 459 00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:51,959 Speaker 1: you saw Isaiah go a little bit too quick. And 460 00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:54,720 Speaker 1: then that's part of the learning process, right, especially for 461 00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:57,520 Speaker 1: young back is and those offensive lot I'll. 462 00:20:57,320 --> 00:20:59,400 Speaker 2: Tell you, with Aaron's cadence and to everybody that hasn't 463 00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:01,760 Speaker 2: been with them, right, that definitely takes some time. He 464 00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:04,840 Speaker 2: has been a cadence master for quite some time. Now 465 00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:07,800 Speaker 2: and it takes him getting used to. But those guys, 466 00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:09,560 Speaker 2: that's just another thing. I didn't even add that on 467 00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:12,800 Speaker 2: the other list of everything. So but they'll slowly get it. 468 00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:15,200 Speaker 2: We just those rookies. It takes some time. 469 00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:19,840 Speaker 1: Have you let your mind think about, hey, we are 470 00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:22,840 Speaker 1: built to be an all weather team here. I mean 471 00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:26,400 Speaker 1: you're talking about what you guys did with the offensive line. 472 00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:30,720 Speaker 1: Breese added some big young backs to the mix as well. 473 00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:33,520 Speaker 2: We have the biggest running back group. I mean, these 474 00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:34,240 Speaker 2: guys are huge. 475 00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:37,800 Speaker 1: But was that when you guys are going through the 476 00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:39,919 Speaker 1: scouting process and Joe D's bringing the in and you're 477 00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:42,600 Speaker 1: talking to the staff and things like that. To your point, 478 00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:45,919 Speaker 1: are you guys thinking, hey, listen, we got a lot 479 00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:50,360 Speaker 1: of pieces here, but we want a mindset where when 480 00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:52,879 Speaker 1: it is December and January we can lean on you. 481 00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:54,720 Speaker 2: That's when you got to play your best football. And 482 00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:57,000 Speaker 2: I learned last year pretty quick. I think it rained 483 00:21:57,040 --> 00:22:00,399 Speaker 2: every single game that we had. So you know, you 484 00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:02,240 Speaker 2: can never predict the weather. It's something that you always 485 00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:03,760 Speaker 2: have to adjust to. But it's always good to have 486 00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:05,800 Speaker 2: some big backs and big offensive linemens so when you 487 00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:07,960 Speaker 2: need to you can run the ball. Downhill. 488 00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:10,960 Speaker 1: How much about the competition on both says of the ball. 489 00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:13,000 Speaker 1: I know you got a lot of respect for Brick, 490 00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:17,840 Speaker 1: but that defense that you guys having an opportunity to 491 00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:22,000 Speaker 1: see every day, how much does that help you from 492 00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:26,160 Speaker 1: a coaching perspective? Also to players fir that talented so much. 493 00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:30,520 Speaker 2: I mean, just like you said, you know, Brick is awesome, 494 00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:32,840 Speaker 2: I mean, such a great guy. The whole defensive staff, 495 00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:37,040 Speaker 2: you know, getting to know them going into that second year. Again, 496 00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:39,680 Speaker 2: it's not putting in a system. It's not putting in 497 00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:42,520 Speaker 2: the formations, the plays, the run plays of pass plays 498 00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:45,240 Speaker 2: and pass protections. And you're so focused on getting those 499 00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:48,240 Speaker 2: guys ready that now just even the interaction of talking 500 00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:50,479 Speaker 2: with the defense, Hey, how can we push you? What 501 00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:53,160 Speaker 2: can we give you? What would make it harder on you? 502 00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:56,720 Speaker 2: Just all those conversations are so good for us just 503 00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:58,879 Speaker 2: as a team, because we want to test them, they 504 00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:00,560 Speaker 2: want to test us. I mean they're already gonn test 505 00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:02,800 Speaker 2: us because they've been together for I mean, gosh, they're 506 00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:04,720 Speaker 2: going on their fourth year. A lot of those guys 507 00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:06,760 Speaker 2: have been in that system, so they know the intricacies 508 00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:09,800 Speaker 2: and now we can dive into that stuff and give 509 00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:11,560 Speaker 2: them the things that we think might hurt them, and 510 00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:14,360 Speaker 2: they can adjust and we adjust. So it's just been 511 00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:15,280 Speaker 2: great collaboration. 512 00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:17,800 Speaker 1: I've asked this before. I think your dad was out 513 00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:23,400 Speaker 1: here today. Former Jets offensive coordinator Paul Hackett. How has 514 00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:28,439 Speaker 1: the game changed from OC spot from the game that 515 00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:31,520 Speaker 1: your dad called in the early two thousands and where 516 00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:33,119 Speaker 1: are we going right now? Overall? 517 00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:36,040 Speaker 2: Oh, it's so different. I mean, we look at some 518 00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:37,880 Speaker 2: of that tape from back in the days. It's funny. 519 00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:40,400 Speaker 2: I always talk to my dad. You know, he never 520 00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:44,360 Speaker 2: called one play when the quarterback was in the gun alignment. 521 00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:47,240 Speaker 2: So you go back to those days when they were 522 00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:50,359 Speaker 2: really good in early two thousands and the quarterback was 523 00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:52,320 Speaker 2: under centered. It was two minutes he was under center. 524 00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:54,560 Speaker 2: I mean that just shows how much the defenses have 525 00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:57,679 Speaker 2: changed over times in the past twenty years. That you know, 526 00:23:57,720 --> 00:23:59,560 Speaker 2: they're giving you so many different looks. You almost have 527 00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:03,120 Speaker 2: to do that just for protection issues. So it has changed, 528 00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:05,000 Speaker 2: and you know, just I think the movement, you know, 529 00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:07,720 Speaker 2: the players, you know, there's there's some differences there, just 530 00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:10,639 Speaker 2: different things, but in the end, it's still football. We 531 00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:13,080 Speaker 2: ran a play today that was a play that I 532 00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:15,320 Speaker 2: know my father's called numerous times they were able to 533 00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:17,840 Speaker 2: score a touchdown on it, So even the old stuff 534 00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:18,480 Speaker 2: still works. 535 00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:19,679 Speaker 1: Sometimes did you wink it A don't or what? 536 00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:22,040 Speaker 2: I haven't got to talk to him about it, but 537 00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:23,320 Speaker 2: I know he's going to say something tonight. 538 00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:26,840 Speaker 1: So But speed and space game though, because this is 539 00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:31,040 Speaker 1: sometimes talking to Brick about When he played in the 540 00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:36,080 Speaker 1: National Football League the early two thousands with the San 541 00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:38,720 Speaker 1: Francisco forty nine ers, he said, hey, I was first 542 00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:41,720 Speaker 1: and second down linebacker. Then came off the field. I said, hey, break, 543 00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:43,720 Speaker 1: could you play in today's NFL. You know he's a 544 00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:45,760 Speaker 1: humble guy, munch like yourself. So he said, no, I 545 00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:49,320 Speaker 1: couldn't play in today's NFL. But Quincy Williams is a 546 00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:52,880 Speaker 1: great example of the modern day linebacker, and you can 547 00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:56,520 Speaker 1: make the argument that he is the He's one of 548 00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:59,440 Speaker 1: the best middle linebackers in the National Football League. Don't 549 00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:00,680 Speaker 1: even think you know are you about it? 550 00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:01,960 Speaker 2: But he is so good? 551 00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:07,200 Speaker 1: But speed in space? Can you talk about that that 552 00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:10,640 Speaker 1: you want to get the ball in your playmaker's hands 553 00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:15,320 Speaker 1: and stretch the field. But also how the counter is 554 00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:16,040 Speaker 1: the evolution? 555 00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:18,400 Speaker 2: I mean, we're always looking to have the defense cover 556 00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:20,720 Speaker 2: the whole field, the sideline, the sideline in the run game, 557 00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:23,679 Speaker 2: or vertically and horizontally down the field. And you know, 558 00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:26,119 Speaker 2: when you have elite players these days, especially some of 559 00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:28,399 Speaker 2: the guys on our defense, I mean they're so fast, 560 00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:31,000 Speaker 2: and when they can just play and react, I mean 561 00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:32,800 Speaker 2: you have to be on point and everything you do 562 00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:36,840 Speaker 2: on offense, because that's the essence of the defense is 563 00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:39,800 Speaker 2: they're simple, but they know all the intricacies of it. 564 00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:42,240 Speaker 2: And you know, guys like Quincy, I mean you want 565 00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:44,400 Speaker 2: to run outside, you better you know those linemen better 566 00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:47,159 Speaker 2: run because he is gonna he's going to roll, and 567 00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:48,679 Speaker 2: then you have to have counters off of it. It 568 00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:51,639 Speaker 2: forces you to have to do whatever you can to create, 569 00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:54,159 Speaker 2: as we like to say, consternation so that they can't 570 00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:57,560 Speaker 2: just react fast. We want to make them hesitate or 571 00:25:57,600 --> 00:25:59,920 Speaker 2: think and make it so they can't play as fast 572 00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:04,000 Speaker 2: because they're already unbelievable athletes. So it's a great chess 573 00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:04,919 Speaker 2: game back and forth. 574 00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:07,440 Speaker 1: You guys got some speed on offense now, I mean 575 00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:10,720 Speaker 1: I know you had it last year, but when you 576 00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:13,520 Speaker 1: think about the big pitcher, you got a lot of 577 00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:17,199 Speaker 1: guys out there, so for four we could get somewhere 578 00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:17,639 Speaker 1: in a hurry. 579 00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:19,960 Speaker 2: Yeah. No, it's always good to have speed. Yeah, a 580 00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:22,480 Speaker 2: speed and intelligence is an exciting thing. 581 00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:24,840 Speaker 1: All right. So what's the plans for the summer? I 582 00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:26,640 Speaker 1: gonna get ready for this thing. You got to get 583 00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:28,520 Speaker 1: You got to get away for a little bit, right. 584 00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:30,439 Speaker 2: Got to get away. As we've all seen, we've got 585 00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:34,239 Speaker 2: ourselves a heck of a schedule, especially early. You know, 586 00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:36,280 Speaker 2: you've got a long training camp. But I think this 587 00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:38,399 Speaker 2: is the time now for all the coaches to get away, 588 00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:41,080 Speaker 2: be with their families, the players to be with their families, train, 589 00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:45,359 Speaker 2: just enjoy, you know, just not having to do anything. 590 00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:47,960 Speaker 2: And then because once we get rolling there, I think 591 00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:50,560 Speaker 2: it's July twenty fourth or twenty fifth, whenever they all 592 00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:53,480 Speaker 2: report back, it's full go, no doubt. 593 00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:58,639 Speaker 1: Yeah, you like those joint practices nowadays with the three preseason. 594 00:26:58,160 --> 00:26:59,560 Speaker 2: Games, I do. I think it's a good you know, 595 00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:02,440 Speaker 2: training after so long. Yeah, you have all those weeks 596 00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:05,080 Speaker 2: before and then you got the three preseason games, and 597 00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:07,399 Speaker 2: you got the two weeks before the first first season 598 00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:10,480 Speaker 2: a first game, and so it's just it's extended period 599 00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:12,080 Speaker 2: of time. So to break it up. I always think 600 00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:14,320 Speaker 2: that's something good. See a different defense. Not having to 601 00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:17,040 Speaker 2: go against the same guys all the time brings that 602 00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:19,879 Speaker 2: team camaraderie together. Because you're cheering for your defense, the 603 00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:22,440 Speaker 2: defense is cheering for you instead of going after each 604 00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:25,200 Speaker 2: other every single day. So I think it's always a 605 00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:26,240 Speaker 2: good way to break up camp. 606 00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:27,600 Speaker 1: All right, So listen to here. When do you start 607 00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:28,480 Speaker 1: looking at the niners? 608 00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:32,399 Speaker 2: I'm just trying to get through these next couple of days. 609 00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:33,400 Speaker 1: Thanks Nate. 610 00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:34,800 Speaker 2: I appreciate it all right, anytime
