I don't know fullback 0:01:29.920 --> 0:01:32.400 this year is that is that basically interchangeable at this point? 0:01:33.760 --> 0:01:35.840 Yeah, I mean, I think most of my career here, 0:01:35.920 --> 0:01:37.600 I've I've been used all over the place.

So I think it's just I just try 0:01:44.360 --> 0:01:46.440 to prepare my belt, myself the best I can to 0:01:46.720 --> 0:01:50.120 play multiple roles and whatever the play is called, and 0:01:50.200 --> 0:01:52.680 whoever's you know, the personnel I'm in with.

You know, I was on 0:02:14.440 --> 0:02:16.760 drafted defensive lineman, and I was playing both sides of 0:02:16.800 --> 0:02:18.760 the ball my first couple of years, and then I 0:02:18.880 --> 0:02:21.680 was playing some tight end and some fullback and it's 0:02:21.760 --> 0:02:23.359 just you know, I just I'm just trying to always 0:02:23.440 --> 0:02:25.120 kind of expand my role and kind of see what 0:02:25.200 --> 0:02:27.160 I can do, and you know, and if it helps 0:02:27.240 --> 0:02:29.120 myself it helps the team, then then that's awesome. So 0:02:29.240 --> 0:02:31.680 you know, I'm always trying to see what I can 0:02:31.760 --> 0:02:35.240 do in different roles and you know, see see how 0:02:35.280 --> 0:02:37.240 everything fits out and how everything you know goes. 0:02:37.720 --> 0:02:38.040 Could you. 0:02:39.960 --> 0:02:40.919 Do me a burg. 0:02:42.639 --> 0:02:45.839 Something in the future or you know, I'm always open 0:02:45.919 --> 0:02:48.200 to whatever is asked me, and you know, whatever I 0:02:48.280 --> 0:02:52.280 think helps myself to be on a team or to 0:02:52.320 --> 0:02:54.200 give value to a team. And if I have to 0:02:54.240 --> 0:02:55.760 put off it's a line I will, but the end 0:02:55.800 --> 0:02:57.400 of the day, I'll you know, I'm just doing whatever's 0:02:57.400 --> 0:03:00.320 asking me and what I think I can give myself 0:03:00.480 --> 0:03:02.120 most value to myself and the team. 0:03:02.880 --> 0:03:04.080 Those which. 0:03:07.120 --> 0:03:10.320 I can kind of oh man, trying to think. 0:03:10.200 --> 0:03:12.079 You know, all the different different things that I've done 0:03:12.120 --> 0:03:14.799 so far. I do miss playing defense. I'm not gonna lie. 0:03:14.919 --> 0:03:16.799 But at the end of the day, I think I 0:03:16.919 --> 0:03:18.919 just love playing football, you know. I think I think 0:03:19.000 --> 0:03:21.240 any role that I'm playing, as long as I'm playing, 0:03:21.280 --> 0:03:22.079 I'm gonna be happy with. 0:03:22.880 --> 0:03:24.799 You think there's value to an offense just to have 0:03:25.520 --> 0:03:27.359 the ability to be personal. 0:03:27.600 --> 0:03:29.640 And I don't think kind of what you guys run 0:03:29.720 --> 0:03:31.440 with the personnel care beats you guys have and you'll 0:03:31.480 --> 0:03:31.960 be able to go. 0:03:32.440 --> 0:03:35.560 Eleven personnel one, you know, one drive twenty one the next. 0:03:35.640 --> 0:03:37.720 I mean, just kind of keep the defense on the toes. 0:03:37.880 --> 0:03:40.360 Yeah, I mean, you know, if you have myself and 0:03:40.480 --> 0:03:42.520 marking the game, you know what kind of defense they 0:03:42.560 --> 0:03:44.080 canna put out there? Are they gonna put out a 0:03:44.360 --> 0:03:46.840 bigger front? Okay, if they do, then we're gonna go 0:03:46.920 --> 0:03:49.040 play action and you know, Marks and me mismatches or 0:03:49.080 --> 0:03:51.280 if they try to get lighter for Mark and all 0:03:51.280 --> 0:03:52.960 the receivers, then we're gonna start running the ball. So 0:03:53.000 --> 0:03:55.920 it's kind of like those things where versatility can just 0:03:56.520 --> 0:03:58.680 it's it's so valuable of how you can you know, 0:03:59.320 --> 0:04:02.160 exploit defas and all the different advantages that you can have. 0:04:02.320 --> 0:04:04.200 So as long as guys can play all different spots. 0:04:04.280 --> 0:04:06.320 Then it's it's great for everybody. You don't want just 0:04:06.360 --> 0:04:09.360 to be like one trick pony and only doing one thing, 0:04:09.400 --> 0:04:11.560 because then defenses are gonna know what you're gonna do, 0:04:11.640 --> 0:04:13.720 and they're gonna, you know, have success against you. 0:04:14.640 --> 0:04:16.640 I have someone I'm bothering you all the last year, 0:04:16.720 --> 0:04:18.800 and how do you feel them now you go taking 0:04:18.920 --> 0:04:20.680 care of little year. 0:04:21.480 --> 0:04:22.400 Kind of years. 0:04:23.560 --> 0:04:23.760 Yeah. 0:04:23.839 --> 0:04:26.520 So I started noticing like some sharp pain midway of 0:04:26.560 --> 0:04:29.920 the season last year, and I knew it was the 0:04:30.000 --> 0:04:32.200 same thing that happened to my other hip two years ago. 0:04:32.839 --> 0:04:34.680 I knew it was gonna be a torn labrum, and 0:04:35.279 --> 0:04:38.000 it was just you know, having sharp pain midway throughout 0:04:38.000 --> 0:04:40.200 the rest of the year and just managing soreness throughout 0:04:40.720 --> 0:04:42.320 pretty much all the way to the playoff game. And 0:04:42.760 --> 0:04:45.040 it feels great now. I mean the ramp up has 0:04:45.040 --> 0:04:47.680 been awesome. I think I'm getting strength back in it. 0:04:47.800 --> 0:04:50.760 I'm not having any pain, just you know, normal soreness 0:04:50.800 --> 0:04:52.520 coming back from a surgery. But I think it's going 0:04:52.560 --> 0:04:53.080 great so far. 0:04:53.440 --> 0:04:55.680 How did you manage it the heavy workout last year? 0:04:55.680 --> 0:04:57.280 And I think you were playing the free cents and 0:04:57.279 --> 0:04:58.200 half of those those games. 0:04:58.279 --> 0:05:00.280 Yeah, man. 0:05:00.400 --> 0:05:02.520 You know, shout out to everybody that was taking care 0:05:02.520 --> 0:05:08.200 of me, my trainers, massager, therapists, you know, cole tubs. Yeah, 0:05:08.320 --> 0:05:09.720 it was a lot of work, but I you know, 0:05:09.800 --> 0:05:12.400 I knew that it's all worth it. You know, I 0:05:12.480 --> 0:05:14.280 knew that it was helping the team win, So I 0:05:14.440 --> 0:05:16.320 was happy to play that much. You know, I'm always happy. 0:05:16.320 --> 0:05:18.600 I'd play every single snap if I was asked to, 0:05:18.720 --> 0:05:21.040 or play zero snaps if if that's what it was. 0:05:21.160 --> 0:05:22.560 But you know, it was a lot of fun. So, 0:05:23.240 --> 0:05:24.680 you know, just trying to take care of myself every 0:05:24.720 --> 0:05:25.400 day as best I can. 0:05:25.640 --> 0:05:28.080 What is the greatest dreams comment? 0:05:30.000 --> 0:05:31.680 You know, I think the biggest thing is just spreading 0:05:31.680 --> 0:05:33.640 out the offense. You know, we have a lot of 0:05:33.720 --> 0:05:36.760 great skill players. We've pretty much brought in a whole 0:05:36.839 --> 0:05:39.560 nother room of skill players here to compete for different roles. 0:05:39.640 --> 0:05:42.120 So I think that's kind of the biggest difference. Is 0:05:42.279 --> 0:05:44.200 gonna be more spread out. You know, mores try to 0:05:44.200 --> 0:05:46.839 be more explosive offense. And you know, I loved you round. 0:05:46.839 --> 0:05:48.960 I love everything we did with him, So hopefully, you know, 0:05:49.440 --> 0:05:51.640 we're gonna have grazy sets either way. But so far, 0:05:51.680 --> 0:05:53.400 I'm really liking what we've been doing so far. 0:05:55.080 --> 0:06:00.560 I know you offense, I would tell M, have. 0:06:00.640 --> 0:06:02.599 You been taking a seat? 0:06:02.720 --> 0:06:04.919 They didn't see that. We get the pensive of what. 0:06:04.960 --> 0:06:06.159 They could have had in this afen. 0:06:07.560 --> 0:06:10.640 Yeah. I mean O'Dell's arguably one of the best receivers 0:06:10.680 --> 0:06:13.040 to play play this game, and I think Lamar is 0:06:13.080 --> 0:06:16.520 also arguably one of the most special quarterbacks to play 0:06:16.520 --> 0:06:19.520 and have them together is just gonna be just just 0:06:19.720 --> 0:06:22.520 explosive plays. I mean, it's it's been a lot of 0:06:22.560 --> 0:06:24.320 fun to Washington and practice so far. And I think, 0:06:24.400 --> 0:06:25.960 you know, as the season keeps going, they're gonna be 0:06:26.040 --> 0:06:28.720 jelling more and you know, and other great receivers that 0:06:28.760 --> 0:06:30.320 we have. I think it's just gonna be a big 0:06:30.480 --> 0:06:33.360 blend of just guys wide open all the time. And 0:06:33.680 --> 0:06:36.360 you know Lamar, I think you know, everything he does 0:06:36.400 --> 0:06:38.920 in the quarterback position of extending plays and moving around 0:06:39.000 --> 0:06:40.800 the pocket, I think it's just gonna be It's gonna 0:06:40.800 --> 0:06:41.600 be a lot of fun this year. 0:06:43.880 --> 0:06:45.719 Next up is head coach John Harball. 0:06:48.520 --> 0:06:50.440 Good seeing everybody really appreciate you being here. 0:06:50.520 --> 0:06:54.719 Good practice pads coming off one day and then too 0:06:54.800 --> 0:06:56.400 pad of days before that. So three out of four 0:06:56.480 --> 0:06:58.160 days in pads. I thought the guys did a real 0:06:58.200 --> 0:07:00.840 good job with that. It was it was crisp, it 0:07:00.960 --> 0:07:03.520 was physical, competitive, yet it was took care of each 0:07:03.560 --> 0:07:04.200 other really well. 0:07:04.320 --> 0:07:05.640 So happy with that. 0:07:06.240 --> 0:07:14.880 With that, what questions you have, John h Yeah, Yeah, 0:07:14.920 --> 0:07:18.240 we reached an agreement with Jadavian Clowney and with Ronald 0:07:18.320 --> 0:07:20.680 Darby as you know, two guys that can help us 0:07:21.320 --> 0:07:23.240 positions that you know, you guys have been talking about 0:07:23.240 --> 0:07:25.760 a lot obviously, and positions. Uh, I think we've done 0:07:25.760 --> 0:07:27.880 a good job of kind of looking at our options 0:07:27.920 --> 0:07:29.360 and bringing in two of the right guys, you know, 0:07:29.480 --> 0:07:32.600 and and uh, I'm excited. I'm just excited. I think, 0:07:32.720 --> 0:07:36.000 uh g Javian is a is a tough, hard nose, 0:07:36.560 --> 0:07:38.600 throws his body around kind of player. We played against 0:07:38.640 --> 0:07:41.880 him so many times. We understand how he plays. And uh, 0:07:42.200 --> 0:07:44.280 we're excited to have him and he's excited to be here. 0:07:44.400 --> 0:07:47.679 So I think he's a good fitness defense. Ronald Darby 0:07:47.680 --> 0:07:49.640 again another guy that's a really good fit in this defense. 0:07:50.080 --> 0:07:51.800 Wanted to be here and we wanted him here. You know, 0:07:51.880 --> 0:07:53.720 He's he's uh, he's a guy we kind of be 0:07:53.800 --> 0:07:56.400 keeping our eye on with the rehab from the knee, 0:07:57.200 --> 0:07:59.440 came in and worked out and worked out really well, 0:07:59.640 --> 0:08:00.320 looked really good. 0:08:00.360 --> 0:08:02.320 It was in really good shape and that's a credit 0:08:02.360 --> 0:08:02.600 to him. 0:08:02.600 --> 0:08:04.560 And he came out of practice today and and looked 0:08:04.600 --> 0:08:06.000 like you've been practicing the whole camp. 0:08:06.160 --> 0:08:10.240 So so we're happy with both those signings. Yeah, I 0:08:10.360 --> 0:08:14.160 think fit sucking. These guys kind of had the history 0:08:14.200 --> 0:08:22.720 of that and veteran dolls you know. Uh, well, yeah, exactly. 0:08:22.760 --> 0:08:25.480 I'll tell you he's uh, he's a high energy player. 0:08:25.680 --> 0:08:27.520 He's a very physical player. He's a guy when he 0:08:27.600 --> 0:08:30.000 plays he's kind of reckless with his body. I mean, 0:08:30.040 --> 0:08:32.840 he throws it around. He's heavy handed, he's a he's 0:08:32.880 --> 0:08:35.439 a power rusher. I think he could even you know, 0:08:35.480 --> 0:08:36.959 he's a really good pass rusher. I think he's a 0:08:37.000 --> 0:08:40.000 little underrated as a pass prusher and uh, you know, 0:08:40.120 --> 0:08:42.959 top picking the draft and all that and uh, but 0:08:43.200 --> 0:08:46.560 as a as a play hard, heavy handed edgesetter gives 0:08:46.600 --> 0:08:48.800 us a chance to get you know, four pass rushers 0:08:48.840 --> 0:08:51.680 on the field on third down situations that are true 0:08:51.679 --> 0:08:54.800 pass rusher type guys is a real value in that. John, 0:08:54.880 --> 0:08:57.160 have you talked about Derby's condition and you saw him 0:08:57.200 --> 0:08:58.440 out there, you know a little bit and let him 0:08:58.440 --> 0:09:00.800 on eleven to him, does that kid even evidence he 0:09:00.840 --> 0:09:03.839 can help you resumer rather than the absolutely, yeah, we 0:09:03.920 --> 0:09:06.800 expect him to help us, you know, preseason. Probably play 0:09:06.800 --> 0:09:08.240 a little bit and get him ready and we'll see 0:09:08.280 --> 0:09:10.080 and then right away week one. 0:09:10.040 --> 0:09:12.120 He should be out there playing hard and doing a 0:09:12.120 --> 0:09:12.880 good job for us. 0:09:13.480 --> 0:09:15.640 Better residents than Jami and Briggs. How much do you 0:09:15.720 --> 0:09:18.040 think that helps the development excuse. 0:09:17.559 --> 0:09:20.240 Young guys that they well, yeah, it's always a help, 0:09:20.240 --> 0:09:21.880 you know. I think he's a he's a really good guy. 0:09:22.000 --> 0:09:23.960 He's a team guy, wants to be with these guys, 0:09:24.000 --> 0:09:26.080 He likes these guys. He spent time with these guys, 0:09:26.480 --> 0:09:28.199 We spent we spend a lot of time together, he 0:09:28.240 --> 0:09:31.120 spent time with the coaches. We have a really high 0:09:31.559 --> 0:09:33.560 comfort and conference level and how he's going to fit in. 0:09:36.160 --> 0:09:36.480 Jacob. 0:09:36.720 --> 0:09:37.560 But so JK. 0:09:37.720 --> 0:09:40.160 Dobbin's doing let's say more cool team still but it's 0:09:40.240 --> 0:09:42.240 like he's kind of, you know, catching up for the 0:09:42.320 --> 0:09:43.600 offense and really getting the driver. 0:09:43.880 --> 0:09:46.840 Absolutely, JK and Rashad both they were both out there 0:09:46.880 --> 0:09:48.800 in team drills moving around looking good. 0:09:48.880 --> 0:09:50.360 So that was great to see. 0:09:50.400 --> 0:09:53.079 And I think our training staff, our strength staff have 0:09:53.160 --> 0:09:55.360 done a great job and those guys themselves, you know, 0:09:55.360 --> 0:09:57.000 I have done a great job. I mean, Rashad has 0:09:57.040 --> 0:09:59.240 worked really hard to get himself back to where he 0:09:59.360 --> 0:09:59.800 is right now. 0:09:59.840 --> 0:10:02.320 And and uh, you know it looks like you look 0:10:02.360 --> 0:10:02.760 good today. 0:10:04.360 --> 0:10:07.400 Wasn't out there, I know. 0:10:09.920 --> 0:10:11.760 The training camp where herd of seeing. 0:10:12.040 --> 0:10:13.600 The chemistry and kind of rain. 0:10:15.040 --> 0:10:16.520 Yeah, I mean you've seen it. Just you see it 0:10:16.559 --> 0:10:17.400 in the plays that they make. 0:10:17.559 --> 0:10:20.319 It's not like it's not like some secret sauce that 0:10:20.440 --> 0:10:22.800 you can't see, you know, it's it's in the play, 0:10:22.960 --> 0:10:25.120 you know. And I figure just gets better and better. 0:10:25.160 --> 0:10:27.959 It's going to continue to get better. Uh, I'm happy 0:10:28.040 --> 0:10:30.720 with where it's at for sure. Uh there's no doubt 0:10:30.760 --> 0:10:32.040 that Obj still has it. 0:10:32.720 --> 0:10:33.160 You see it. 0:10:33.240 --> 0:10:35.360 I mean he's he can move and he makes catches, 0:10:35.720 --> 0:10:38.280 a great route runner. Uh So I'm excited about that, 0:10:38.440 --> 0:10:40.640 not just him, all the guys really feel that. 0:10:40.760 --> 0:10:46.600 For a second. You know, he had that touchdown something 0:10:46.640 --> 0:10:48.440 like that. I think back from the injury they had, 0:10:48.480 --> 0:10:49.880 what was it due for him emotionally? 0:10:50.160 --> 0:10:53.719 Confidence From your perspective, yeah, I would say it does 0:10:53.800 --> 0:10:55.679 a lot. I mean it'd be a great question for him, 0:10:55.720 --> 0:10:58.360 for sure. But I'm you know what, it helped my confidence. 0:10:58.800 --> 0:10:59.880 I felt great about seeing it. 0:11:00.000 --> 0:11:00.079 You know. 0:11:00.160 --> 0:11:01.679 I was a heck of a catch, was he How 0:11:01.720 --> 0:11:03.320 did he stay in bound? How did he make the catch? 0:11:03.320 --> 0:11:05.160 How do you track the ball? And they go in 0:11:05.200 --> 0:11:07.120 there and just throw it in there like that first 0:11:07.200 --> 0:11:07.800 day back. 0:11:07.640 --> 0:11:09.560 And that kind of a drill. Very impressive. 0:11:11.000 --> 0:11:12.040 But don't. 0:11:15.000 --> 0:11:17.280 Yeah that no that He's been going so hard and 0:11:17.720 --> 0:11:19.839 I think just a little rest. You know, he is 0:11:19.880 --> 0:11:22.280 coming off at knee surgery, right, so a chance to 0:11:22.360 --> 0:11:24.040 rest that thing and get it, get it feeling good 0:11:24.120 --> 0:11:26.240 is what we wanted to do that day. 0:11:26.280 --> 0:11:28.559 From Moses too, same thing for Moses. 0:11:32.120 --> 0:11:35.400 Went on the you see, I mean b a lot 0:11:35.400 --> 0:11:39.880 of talk whether to move the froll back the offense 0:11:39.920 --> 0:11:40.120 for the. 0:11:40.840 --> 0:11:43.160 First I guess how you receive him. 0:11:43.040 --> 0:11:46.520 And seen Jasons well, I think what you try to do, 0:11:47.040 --> 0:11:49.000 and Todd is a big advocate of this as well, 0:11:49.600 --> 0:11:51.800 is take the guys you have and use them the 0:11:51.880 --> 0:11:54.439 things they do well. So if you got a patricard, 0:11:54.720 --> 0:11:56.920 I would put Ben Mason in the same category. You 0:11:57.040 --> 0:11:58.760 got guys like that. You want to use those guys 0:11:58.760 --> 0:12:00.360 and do what they do well. So this gives you 0:12:00.400 --> 0:12:02.800 an extra thing you can do, Why limit yourself and 0:12:02.840 --> 0:12:04.520 you have somebody that can do something at that level, 0:12:04.800 --> 0:12:07.079 why not make a defense defendant? And I think I 0:12:07.200 --> 0:12:10.280 know that's how Todd's thinking is as capable of being 0:12:10.320 --> 0:12:13.079 in the line tight ending at this point as absolutely yeah, 0:12:13.120 --> 0:12:15.040 I have total confidence in him blocking at the line 0:12:15.040 --> 0:12:17.959 of scrimmage and running crossing routes and flat routes. 0:12:18.240 --> 0:12:19.439 He'll tell you he can run a sea him in 0:12:19.440 --> 0:12:20.760 a corner. He'll tell you that. 0:12:21.000 --> 0:12:24.080 So, John, you clown, he's been described as an edge resser. 0:12:24.320 --> 0:12:26.640 Do you have any kind of idea of which room 0:12:26.760 --> 0:12:29.520 he gets best in the defensive line, like as that linebackers. 0:12:29.559 --> 0:12:30.719 Do you know kind of where I see him in 0:12:30.720 --> 0:12:31.559 the outside backer room? 0:12:31.720 --> 0:12:33.720 You know, those rooms are kind of they work together 0:12:33.800 --> 0:12:36.240 so closely anyway, they're together in most of their meetings anyway, 0:12:36.600 --> 0:12:39.559 because they combine on the nickel stuff, you know. So 0:12:39.880 --> 0:12:42.319 we'll classify him as an outside backer, which I think 0:12:42.360 --> 0:12:44.160 he's always been, and it's really a good fit for 0:12:44.240 --> 0:12:47.240 our defense the way we structured he's that's what he is. 0:12:47.760 --> 0:12:49.400 Do you three of his best seasons worre with Beaver 0:12:49.559 --> 0:12:52.280 and you said, I guess how much to treat involve 0:12:52.360 --> 0:12:53.000 him the process. 0:12:53.360 --> 0:12:55.360 Oh yeah, Anthony Weaver has been totally involved in this 0:12:55.440 --> 0:12:58.280 process from day one, from the beginning, he's been talking 0:12:58.320 --> 0:13:01.760 to him. Uh yeah, to me, was is a I'd 0:13:01.760 --> 0:13:04.000 say it was a strong advocate for bringing bringing him 0:13:04.000 --> 0:13:04.240 in here. 0:13:04.679 --> 0:13:06.679 And you know that carries a lot of weight. 0:13:08.120 --> 0:13:13.040 Jump to Marlin a surgery, can't have it pad again. 0:13:13.440 --> 0:13:19.960 And yeah, he had the surgery. It went very well, 0:13:20.520 --> 0:13:23.240 and I would say that the timeline is pretty well defined. 0:13:23.920 --> 0:13:25.920 I'm not gonna give it to you, but it's not 0:13:26.200 --> 0:13:30.360 super long, you know, and when he's getting close, you'll know, 0:13:31.200 --> 0:13:33.199 so he don't need to ask probably for a few weeks. 0:13:33.760 --> 0:13:36.160 But uh, he's gonna be back pretty early in the 0:13:36.240 --> 0:13:38.480 season and he'll be ready to roll. The good thing 0:13:38.520 --> 0:13:40.280 about the surgery, what just to give you a kind 0:13:40.280 --> 0:13:42.760 of little background. He could have definitely played with it 0:13:42.840 --> 0:13:45.280 the way it was, but you do risk it getting 0:13:45.320 --> 0:13:48.600 worse with the surgery that he got. It's it's taken 0:13:48.679 --> 0:13:50.439 care of, so when he comes back, you won't have 0:13:50.480 --> 0:13:52.280 to be concervative for the rest of the season. And 0:13:52.400 --> 0:13:54.599 it was Marvelin's decision, and that's why he decided to 0:13:54.600 --> 0:13:55.480 go ahead and get that done. 0:13:55.559 --> 0:14:01.199 This time general he was, I don't know. 0:14:01.320 --> 0:14:03.840 I don't want to get into at this point his foot. 0:14:04.760 --> 0:14:07.240 All right, lower leg, I'm giving your foot. That's way 0:14:07.280 --> 0:14:10.840 better than lower leg. Right a pinpointing into the foot. 0:14:11.240 --> 0:14:13.160 You shouldn't ask, you can't. You can't ask pretty more 0:14:13.240 --> 0:14:16.199 than that. I don't remember, to be honest with you. 0:14:18.920 --> 0:14:21.200 Here come the wide receiver coaches. We'll start with wide 0:14:21.240 --> 0:14:26.000 receivers coach Greg Lewis, Greg Sliver, San. 0:14:25.840 --> 0:14:28.120 Bagman doing seven seven, So I'll make the great catch. 0:14:28.720 --> 0:14:31.120 I know it's I'm still getting ramped off. But what 0:14:31.280 --> 0:14:33.400 have you seen from him and comfortables? 0:14:33.840 --> 0:14:36.560 Uh, he's continuing to get comfortable within the offense. Uh, 0:14:36.880 --> 0:14:39.680 he's in all the meetings understanding the language that we're speaking. 0:14:40.160 --> 0:14:40.240 Uh. 0:14:40.320 --> 0:14:42.560 And then he's getting a couple opportunities to continue to 0:14:42.640 --> 0:14:44.640 progress and come out here and do some of the 0:14:44.680 --> 0:14:46.960 seven on seven and some of the individuals drills. And 0:14:47.040 --> 0:14:49.760 he's doing a fantastic job. It's excited to see him 0:14:49.800 --> 0:14:51.720 out there. And then we're just gonna keep building as 0:14:51.720 --> 0:14:52.320 a group with him. 0:15:04.320 --> 0:15:06.160 Okay, they're kind of getting them DAGs. 0:15:06.880 --> 0:15:09.000 I mean they're both professionals, they've been doing it for 0:15:09.080 --> 0:15:12.000 a while. They understand what they need to do. Uh, 0:15:12.120 --> 0:15:15.160 they get work after practice, before practice and the indoor 0:15:15.200 --> 0:15:17.600 and do some stuff and then it shows up on 0:15:17.720 --> 0:15:20.720 the field. Not every play is a completion, but they're 0:15:20.720 --> 0:15:22.280 getting on the same page and doing a hell of 0:15:22.320 --> 0:15:25.680 a job working together and trying to grow, uh the 0:15:25.800 --> 0:15:29.280 receiving cores and just from quarterback receiver standpoint, just the 0:15:29.320 --> 0:15:31.360 whole group. And I think it's awesome just to see 0:15:31.400 --> 0:15:34.400 that work after practice, before practice, and then it shows 0:15:34.480 --> 0:15:37.040 up at times during practice. But we got a couple 0:15:37.040 --> 0:15:40.600 of weeks left before it's time, and I believe we'll 0:15:40.640 --> 0:15:41.680 be there when the time is right. 0:15:42.040 --> 0:15:44.320 Yes, how much as Tom Monkins said that you know 0:15:44.440 --> 0:15:47.040 your working makes a Flowers complete receiver, and we've all 0:15:47.120 --> 0:15:49.440 seen the shiftingness and quick beat and all that stuff. 0:15:49.840 --> 0:15:51.080 What aspects of this gam. 0:15:51.040 --> 0:15:54.120 You really trying to focus on just a total package. 0:15:54.320 --> 0:15:56.880 And I wouldn't even point out just say, I would say, 0:15:56.920 --> 0:16:00.120 as a group of receivers, we we don't focus on 0:16:00.240 --> 0:16:03.280 one particular thing. We try to make them good at catching, 0:16:03.360 --> 0:16:05.800 good at running, good at run after the catch, good 0:16:05.840 --> 0:16:08.120 at blocking, and then put it out there and then 0:16:08.160 --> 0:16:10.960 we're all interchangeable to do different things. But Jay is 0:16:11.000 --> 0:16:13.800 a special talent. Everybody sees that, and just to get 0:16:13.880 --> 0:16:15.960 them out there on the field doing the things understanding 0:16:16.000 --> 0:16:18.920 the offense, it's been awesome and just continue to grow 0:16:18.960 --> 0:16:20.760 with him and when we can get him the ball, 0:16:20.800 --> 0:16:22.200 let's get him the ball because he can do some 0:16:22.280 --> 0:16:22.920 special things. 0:16:23.840 --> 0:16:24.800 We saw him trun fly. 0:16:24.880 --> 0:16:28.960 And land steps out there together. What if they kind 0:16:29.000 --> 0:16:31.240 of up to get your attention for some compete. 0:16:32.120 --> 0:16:34.600 It's been a lot of competition in the receiver room 0:16:34.840 --> 0:16:36.760 and that's what you want. You want everybody at their 0:16:36.840 --> 0:16:39.440 best and then make the best rise to the top. 0:16:39.560 --> 0:16:42.440 And I think Sean is doing a great job. Tariq 0:16:42.680 --> 0:16:45.400 made a few plays today and it's awesome to see 0:16:45.440 --> 0:16:48.680 those guys competing for roster spots for jobs in the 0:16:48.800 --> 0:16:50.680 NFL and letting their abilities show. 0:16:50.760 --> 0:16:51.680 And that's what we want. 0:16:51.720 --> 0:16:53.800 We want them to be able to play fast and 0:16:54.120 --> 0:16:57.080 do what they're able to do, and then whatever happens happened, 0:16:57.120 --> 0:16:59.640 you know, you put your best foot forward. It's been 0:16:59.720 --> 0:17:02.520 great competition in the room and I'm excited for the 0:17:02.560 --> 0:17:03.200 game coming up. 0:17:07.640 --> 0:17:10.280 What do you tell those guys that's young, your seniors 0:17:10.640 --> 0:17:13.800 fins from maybe one of those two finals spots you 0:17:14.200 --> 0:17:14.679 get closed. 0:17:15.160 --> 0:17:17.879
