Uh. Yeah, 40 00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:30,960 Speaker 1: we have confidence in all those guys and uh, you know, 41 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:32,959 Speaker 1: with James White, we started the year of five backs 42 00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,080 Speaker 1: and I had a lot of confidence in all of 43 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:39,520 Speaker 1: them and they've all contributed and um, you know, Brandon 44 00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:42,480 Speaker 1: had a you know, another good day for us yesterday, 45 00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:46,440 Speaker 1: and both JJ and Ramander are both both young, but 46 00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:48,840 Speaker 1: you know, they they both contributed and I think they 47 00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:51,680 Speaker 1: will have going forward. So uh no, it's good to 48 00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:54,919 Speaker 1: have depth there. Um Hunter has been Hunter has been 49 00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:57,920 Speaker 1: really good, uh in a lot of ways. Um. You know, 50 00:02:57,960 --> 00:02:59,440 Speaker 1: he was a smart player. He can do a lot 51 00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:03,000 Speaker 1: of things. He's got a good versatile skill set. Um 52 00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:04,680 Speaker 1: I really I thought one of the best plays he 53 00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:09,600 Speaker 1: had yesterday was on the opening kickoff where um, uh 54 00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:13,480 Speaker 1: the Jets tried to try to kick the ball opposite 55 00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:17,160 Speaker 1: of the way we expected and uh and you know 56 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,160 Speaker 1: what the wind would indicate and so forth. But it 57 00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,840 Speaker 1: was a It was a play designed to send the 58 00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:24,000 Speaker 1: ball up into the into the sun and make it 59 00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:26,360 Speaker 1: a tough a tough catch and a tough play there. 60 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:29,760 Speaker 1: Gunner handled the ball well, but we had to flip 61 00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:32,000 Speaker 1: the whole return from going to the right going to 62 00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:35,960 Speaker 1: the left based on where the ball came down. And uh, 63 00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:37,960 Speaker 1: Hunter came all the way over from the right side, 64 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:41,120 Speaker 1: you know, made a key block and um you got 65 00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,440 Speaker 1: the ball in good field position to start to start 66 00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:46,280 Speaker 1: the game. So um it was it was a heads 67 00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:48,080 Speaker 1: up played by the kickoff return team in a lot 68 00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,080 Speaker 1: of areas. But really Hunter made the key block on 69 00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:53,280 Speaker 1: that and came the farthest to do it. Um, So 70 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:55,640 Speaker 1: it was you know a little things like that that 71 00:03:55,760 --> 00:04:00,320 Speaker 1: Hunter does it are really kind of um you know, 72 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:02,480 Speaker 1: there are little things they become big things that then 73 00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:04,680 Speaker 1: we run the screen pass to John Wod he's running 74 00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:07,960 Speaker 1: the over route and um, you know took some coverage 75 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:10,400 Speaker 1: over there with him and uh, you know John who 76 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:13,280 Speaker 1: made a nice play to uh break the tackle there 77 00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:18,440 Speaker 1: by I think it was May but uh but again 78 00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:20,200 Speaker 1: that's the kind of thing the Hunter does. He you know, 79 00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:22,640 Speaker 1: attracts some attention, made a great catch on the touchdown pass. 80 00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:26,200 Speaker 1: So he's been a really really good addition to our 81 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:28,360 Speaker 1: team and it's helped us in a lot of ways 82 00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:33,560 Speaker 1: running game, passing game, as I said, on a kickoff return. So, um, 83 00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:37,760 Speaker 1: this is a good, good, smart, tough, dependable player. M 84 00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:47,119 Speaker 1: Mathew morning bill Um wanted to follow up on Hunter 85 00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:50,520 Speaker 1: Henry and and just what is it about him maybe 86 00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:53,240 Speaker 1: as a player or as a person that's allowed him 87 00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:57,200 Speaker 1: to catch on this quickly in your offense and kind 88 00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:01,479 Speaker 1: of pick things up and hit the ground running well 89 00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:06,120 Speaker 1: I mean again, he's a pretty experienced player.

Um, you know, when he doesn't have 106 00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,479 Speaker 1: the leverage, figuring out you know, how to how to 107 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:02,479 Speaker 1: slip the defender to get to where he needs to 108 00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:05,760 Speaker 1: go and and so forth, and um, you know, knows 109 00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,719 Speaker 1: when he's covered how to drag another guy into covered 110 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:10,600 Speaker 1: him and you know kind of take two for one 111 00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:12,720 Speaker 1: to open it up for somebody else. So he does 112 00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:16,320 Speaker 1: a lot of little things, subtle things, uh, really really 113 00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:20,000 Speaker 1: well and and U as I said, it's it's been 114 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:21,919 Speaker 1: h He's been a really good addition to our team 115 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,520 Speaker 1: and it gives us a lot of versatility.

Thank you. I should still Paris rang Hey. 119 00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:47,160 Speaker 1: Bill wanted to ask you about Jawan Bentley. Uh, I 120 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:52,120 Speaker 1: just haven't watched the first two plays of the game 121 00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:55,120 Speaker 1: on defense for you guys, he's kind of in the mix, 122 00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:57,880 Speaker 1: you know, pretty quickly on both of those and it 123 00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:00,720 Speaker 1: looks like he's moving almost like where the snap. And 124 00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:04,320 Speaker 1: I just want to ask you, is that is that 125 00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:07,240 Speaker 1: the cost? Sometimes? Is that just Juwan's instincts are him 126 00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:09,359 Speaker 1: picking up on something that kind of leads him in 127 00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:11,640 Speaker 1: the direction of the ball as quickly as he's getting 128 00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:16,560 Speaker 1: there on those plays? Uh? Right, Phil, I think it's 129 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:19,600 Speaker 1: a combination of both. Um, you know, it could be 130 00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:23,520 Speaker 1: part of a part of the stunt m On the 131 00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:27,400 Speaker 1: second play, I think the play referring to the West 132 00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:31,000 Speaker 1: CoA moved across the formation in motion kind of quickly 133 00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:35,440 Speaker 1: before the snap, which we've seen them do before, and so, uh, 134 00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:37,000 Speaker 1: you know, we all kind of moved over a little 135 00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:40,480 Speaker 1: bit and then you know, Barmore was on an inside move, 136 00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:44,080 Speaker 1: so he kind of opened up some space there where 137 00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:48,240 Speaker 1: where Juan would naturally fill and you know he's able 138 00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:50,240 Speaker 1: to shoot through there and and kind of break the 139 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:53,160 Speaker 1: play up. So but it's a combination both. But Juan 140 00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:55,160 Speaker 1: is a real instinctive player. He has a good feel 141 00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:58,480 Speaker 1: for the running game and a passing game, but particularly 142 00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:00,520 Speaker 1: you know, the running game both on his fits and 143 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:04,000 Speaker 1: then when there's movement on the line or scheme blocks, 144 00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:05,920 Speaker 1: how to fit those and how to be in the 145 00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:07,760 Speaker 1: right place. You've seen him do that, you know, pretty 146 00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:10,920 Speaker 1: much all year. He had a similar play in the 147 00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:13,680 Speaker 1: first Jet game to the other side, to the left side, 148 00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:16,440 Speaker 1: where he you know, ran through the B gap and 149 00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:18,240 Speaker 1: you know, how to tackle for a loss there and 150 00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:21,680 Speaker 1: so things like that. He's really done a good job 151 00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:25,040 Speaker 1: of that. Um But it's combination of both. Some some 152 00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:27,480 Speaker 1: of that's instinct, some of it's you know, as part 153 00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:30,360 Speaker 1: of a call, and sometimes we're up in there and 154 00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:32,200 Speaker 1: and don't come and you know, try to make the 155 00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:35,400 Speaker 1: offense respect it, but uh, you know, do something differently. 156 00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:37,559 Speaker 1: So but he does a nice job. He has a 157 00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:39,560 Speaker 1: good field for the running game and how to fit 158 00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:46,240 Speaker 1: on all those plays inside. Thank you welcome. Next question 159 00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:50,439 Speaker 1: to Kote Rainbows like Chris Ryan. Yeah, Bill, a question 160 00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:53,000 Speaker 1: about Justin Herbert.

And 162 00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:58,240 Speaker 1: in either way, do you have any idea that he'd 163 00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:01,160 Speaker 1: be good this early? What's it's made him so successful 164 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:05,439 Speaker 1: so early in his career? He because he's really good. Yeah, 165 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:09,320 Speaker 1: he's really good. I thought he was outstanding.

Um oh, played 168 00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:22,800 Speaker 1: played well in a in a Oregon had. You know, 169 00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:26,680 Speaker 1: just a number of big plays, all the passes, all 170 00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:31,599 Speaker 1: the throws, but extended plays, scrambles. Uh could run the 171 00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:34,800 Speaker 1: red zone and all the had He's he's as good 172 00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:36,920 Speaker 1: a quarterback as I've seen come out here in quite 173 00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:40,240 Speaker 1: a while. Um, especially as it fits the pro game. 174 00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:45,160 Speaker 1: And uh, yeah, I don't think you're gonna find you. 175 00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:47,880 Speaker 1: I don't think you're gonna find too many better than him. Um, 176 00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:50,720 Speaker 1: this guy's really really an impressive player. I thought he 177 00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:53,600 Speaker 1: was really good when we played him last year and um, 178 00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:58,640 Speaker 1: you know, luckily we had had a pretty good day. 179 00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:02,520 Speaker 1: But you know, I'm not counting on that again. He's 180 00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:04,920 Speaker 1: I have a ton of respect for him. I think 181 00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:06,600 Speaker 1: he's going to be one of the top quarterbacks in 182 00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:10,360 Speaker 1: the league for a long time to come. And real 183 00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:14,240 Speaker 1: quick when going back to yesterday's game, quickly, Uh, you 184 00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:16,120 Speaker 1: guys dealt with a lot of injuries on the defensive 185 00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:18,720 Speaker 1: line during the weekend during the game. Just your thought 186 00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:21,720 Speaker 1: and how those guys played through it and perform yesterday. Yeah, 187 00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:24,480 Speaker 1: they really stepped up. You know. DG didn't practice all 188 00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:27,000 Speaker 1: week and and uh, you know gave us a really 189 00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:30,760 Speaker 1: solid performance in a game. You know, Uh, d wise 190 00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:33,520 Speaker 1: miss missed the Wednesday and it was kind of a 191 00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:35,880 Speaker 1: little bit limited on Thursday. But he really you know, 192 00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:38,160 Speaker 1: came around at the end of the week and gave 193 00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:40,480 Speaker 1: us a solid play in there. And you know, Dan 194 00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:42,760 Speaker 1: stepped up off the practice squad and you know gave 195 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:45,040 Speaker 1: us a lot of snaps inside along with you know, 196 00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:47,920 Speaker 1: Barmore and you know LG was you know, steady and 197 00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:51,400 Speaker 1: consistent like he always is. So uh and Carl did 198 00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:53,000 Speaker 1: a did a real good job for us on the 199 00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:54,880 Speaker 1: nose and you know, did a good job in a 200 00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:57,520 Speaker 1: running game. You know, they they you know hit us 201 00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:00,360 Speaker 1: on you know, the reverse and but those are aren't 202 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:03,120 Speaker 1: the place the nose guards going to stop anyway. But 203 00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:05,320 Speaker 1: he did a real solid job for it's not only 204 00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:07,880 Speaker 1: you know, stopping a run, pushing the pocket in there. 205 00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:12,800 Speaker 1: And um, so I thought that group really really helped 206 00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:18,480 Speaker 1: us yesterday. Thank you. The last two questions from Chris 207 00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:23,120 Speaker 1: Bryan and Zach Borneville. How are you hey, Chris good Um, 208 00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:25,880 Speaker 1: want to ask you about Mac halfway through the season 209 00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:29,280 Speaker 1: and what you have seen in his developments. There's been 210 00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:33,040 Speaker 1: a lot of discussion about the rookie class of quarterbacks, 211 00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:37,440 Speaker 1: so just from him specifically, but also the challenges of 212 00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:41,000 Speaker 1: trying to adapt to being a high level starter in 213 00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:47,600 Speaker 1: the NFL in the current version of the NFL. Yeah, 214 00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:50,400 Speaker 1: well it's look, it's a big jump from college to 215 00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:53,800 Speaker 1: pro football. The passing game is a lot different, and 216 00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:57,160 Speaker 1: certainly athletes that play in the passing game are are 217 00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:59,480 Speaker 1: a lot different than than what you see in college 218 00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:03,720 Speaker 1: and the scheme teams are the multiple players that can 219 00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:07,680 Speaker 1: be in coverage and how fast and how aggressive the 220 00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:11,880 Speaker 1: pass rush is. It's it's a lot different than college. Um. 221 00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:15,240 Speaker 1: Although I'd say Mac played in more of a pro 222 00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:18,000 Speaker 1: system at Alabama than done a lot of other quarterbacks did. 223 00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:22,480 Speaker 1: But regardless, it's still a big jump. Um. Yeah, Max 224 00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:25,480 Speaker 1: Ben Steady, UM, And I don't think there's any one 225 00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:30,160 Speaker 1: play or anyone you know, one moment that's just you know, 226 00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:36,280 Speaker 1: changed the direction of his development. It's just play by play, 227 00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:41,079 Speaker 1: day by day, UM, just stacking those, stacking those together 228 00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:45,520 Speaker 1: and and accumulating the experience that he has. And you know, offensively, 229 00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:51,320 Speaker 1: it's um between him and multiple other starters let's call 230 00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:55,800 Speaker 1: him new starters from last year or guys who have 231 00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:59,199 Speaker 1: played a lot um. You know, we just had a 232 00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:02,880 Speaker 1: lot of new new people in there, um at various points, 233 00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:06,240 Speaker 1: whether it be on the offensive line or obviously as 234 00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:09,280 Speaker 1: skill position players you know, other than you know Andrews 235 00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:15,439 Speaker 1: and Jacobe, you know, other players, even the guys that 236 00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:17,960 Speaker 1: played last year, they'd either misstime this year, they misstime 237 00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:20,280 Speaker 1: last year, or you know where the case might be. 238 00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:23,000 Speaker 1: So it's you know, a process of just you know, everything, 239 00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:25,720 Speaker 1: you know, coming together at all levels, not just at 240 00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:29,440 Speaker 1: the quarterback position, but you know, throughout transcend throughout the 241 00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:32,440 Speaker 1: entire offense. And there are a lot of good players there, 242 00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:35,520 Speaker 1: and you know, Hunter and KB and Nelly and you know, 243 00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:38,280 Speaker 1: we mentioned a lot of them here, but they weren't 244 00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:40,720 Speaker 1: with us until this year, and there's been a you know, 245 00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:43,880 Speaker 1: a learning curve and an adjustment for them and for 246 00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:46,160 Speaker 1: all of us. And but again we're just taking it 247 00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:50,079 Speaker 1: day by day and trying to trying to improve, um, 248 00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:53,400 Speaker 1: you know, tomorrow from where we were today and so forth, 249 00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:56,120 Speaker 1: and and hopefully they'll serve us well in the long run. 250 00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:58,600 Speaker 1: I'm sure it will. Uh, that's the approach we've been taken. 251 00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:03,360 Speaker 1: And that's whether it's a quarterback or combination of quarterback 252 00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:06,880 Speaker 1: and all the other positions. That's that's that's the world 253 00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:14,760 Speaker 1: we're in. The last questions that come, Larren Billet, you 254 00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:17,320 Speaker 1: you touched on him a little bit earlier, but I'm 255 00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:20,640 Speaker 1: just curious what you've seen from barmore um and and 256 00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:27,480 Speaker 1: his development now that he's seven games in. Yeah, I think, um, 257 00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:29,720 Speaker 1: I think Christian has done a good job of developing 258 00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:33,800 Speaker 1: all all phases of his game. Um, he's improved in 259 00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:36,360 Speaker 1: the run game, he's improved in the pass rush. UM. 260 00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:40,000 Speaker 1: You know, he's a versatile player that's played a number 261 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:44,120 Speaker 1: of spots for US UH five technique, three technique, has 262 00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:49,160 Speaker 1: also played on the nose. UH. So you know that's 263 00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:51,880 Speaker 1: a lot of that's a lot of things that can 264 00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:55,000 Speaker 1: happen to a defensive line in the different blocking schemes, uh, 265 00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:58,280 Speaker 1: different types of pass protection, different reads, and then you 266 00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:00,680 Speaker 1: mix that in with you know, multiple de defensive calls 267 00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:03,920 Speaker 1: and so forth, there's there's uh, you know, quite a 268 00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:05,920 Speaker 1: bit could be going on there, and I think he's 269 00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:09,240 Speaker 1: he's handled that well. Again, similar to the conversation we 270 00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:13,520 Speaker 1: had with on Mac, he's improved all the way through. 271 00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:16,440 Speaker 1: He's been out there, he's been durable. Uh. You know, 272 00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:19,280 Speaker 1: he's continued to get snaps on the field daily and 273 00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:21,880 Speaker 1: and he's learned from those snaps and and he's gotten 274 00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:25,440 Speaker 1: better at at the multiple things he's been asked to do. So, UM, 275 00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:29,200 Speaker 1: if he keeps working hard and he continues to you know, 276 00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:31,960 Speaker 1: press on his fundamentals and his techniques which are so 277 00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:34,960 Speaker 1: critical to the position he plays all the line positions 278 00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:38,440 Speaker 1: that UM, I'm sure he'll continue to get better. And 279 00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:42,040 Speaker 1: you know, as he's gained experience and and uh knowledge 280 00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:45,400 Speaker 1: and as I said, better fundamentals, then you know he'll 281 00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:48,560 Speaker 1: he'll continue to improve. But I'm glad we have him. 282 00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:50,320 Speaker 1: He's made a lot of progress and I think it 283 00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:55,800 Speaker 1: could be a good player. Thank you, thank you, courage, 284 00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:57,520 Speaker 1: thanks everyone, all right, thank you
