1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,600
Speaker 1: Ryan, is this camp could be any different than what

2
00:00:02,640 --> 00:00:04,800
Speaker 1: you've been doing as far as teaching or you gonna

3
00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:05,560
Speaker 1: shift the focus in.

4
00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:09,120
Speaker 2: No, it'll look very similar for y'all. We have more

5
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:11,879
Speaker 2: meeting time. We had an extra walkthrough, we have meetings

6
00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:15,320
Speaker 2: after practice. Some of the routine is a little bit different,

7
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:17,680
Speaker 2: but as far as the practice field, the rules are

8
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:21,720
Speaker 2: still the rules. How has having looked so far just

9
00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:23,800
Speaker 2: through off the Z two's and cats that pass?

10
00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:25,799
Speaker 3: But just how has he looked so far just transitioning

11
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:26,360
Speaker 3: in your opinion?

12
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:28,800
Speaker 2: Heah, he's done a nice job. He's picked up things

13
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:32,440
Speaker 2: well inside. You know, training camp will be a you know,

14
00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:34,519
Speaker 2: important time of the year for him. As for all

15
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:38,360
Speaker 2: the off that's alignment, we've.

16
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:40,040
Speaker 4: Only seen him on the left side. What was the

17
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:40,720
Speaker 4: thought project?

18
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 3: Just familiar there?

19
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:43,440
Speaker 4: Or are you're moving around we're not here?

20
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:46,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean we'll figure all that out by the time,

21
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:49,240
Speaker 2: you know, training camp and preseason game starts.

22
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 5: Do you can you establish a foundation in this mini camp?

23
00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 2: Is is it an opportunity to do.

24
00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 4: That for the upcoming year?

25
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 2: Well, you're trying to establish learning what to do and

26
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 2: playing fast and practicing the right way, staying off the ground,

27
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:06,959
Speaker 2: staying away from the quarterback, doing the things you need

28
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:09,840
Speaker 2: to do to get work done and get things accomplished

29
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 2: without pads on. So I think all the guys that

30
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 2: put a lot of time and effort and energy into

31
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 2: learning some of the systems, some of the systems new,

32
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 2: some of the things we're doing are a little bit different.

33
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 2: Plus you have the young guys that you drafted and

34
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 2: then the free agents that are new players that are

35
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 2: working together. The communication process is very important playing with

36
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 2: different players, being able to make calls, give a call,

37
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:34,400
Speaker 2: get a call, being on the same page, being locked

38
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:36,840
Speaker 2: in in that regard. So a very important time of

39
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 2: year for us times in terms of laying that foundation

40
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 2: of knowing what to do. And then once training camp hits,

41
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 2: you know, the trains going pretty quickly. There's not a

42
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 2: lot of time for pulling back getting another rep. You know,

43
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 2: we're trying to figure out, you know, what side a

44
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 2: person's playing on or who they're playing with. Those are

45
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 2: those are the things for training camp will get answered.

46
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 3: One of the guys who have been were held out

47
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 3: of the ots or in the team portion, any of

48
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 3: them do anything this week like the league decks.

49
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'd say they're all different spots, like I said

50
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 2: last time, and you know everybody's here and at different

51
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 2: stages of what we're asking to do.

52
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 4: Well.

53
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 1: Will anything that you've seen in all the OTAs and

54
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 1: the MIDI camp today after you assess that what you

55
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:20,359
Speaker 1: liked maybe what you didn't like as much, will any

56
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 1: of that affect any of your plan in training camp?

57
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 1: Like you know what, we need to work more on this.

58
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 1: We don't have to work you know what I'm saying.

59
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:29,680
Speaker 1: You have a training camp plan set up, sure, but

60
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:31,639
Speaker 1: will anything that you've seen in the spring change.

61
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:34,360
Speaker 2: That a little bit? Yeah, it's a good question, Paul.

62
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 2: So we've changed things throughout the OTAs based on you know,

63
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:41,679
Speaker 2: really need to get more out of this day or

64
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 2: practice this situation. We'll do that every day after a

65
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 2: training camp practice of hey, let's make sure we get

66
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 2: back to that. Maybe we're going to get back to

67
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:51,119
Speaker 2: a practice for let's get back to it a little

68
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 2: bit quicker. There's always conversations that take place and we'll

69
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:55,960
Speaker 2: do what we think is best.

70
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 5: Brian, and that was Bobby doing and I know he

71
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 5: had that back injury last years. Is not practicing anything

72
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 5: to do with that? And is it anything to worry

73
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 5: about long term.

74
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, i'd say I'd say with with all the injuries,

75
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 2: these guys are working hard.

76
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 5: To get back.

77
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 3: No, not long term, Ran, Have you determined when you're

78
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 3: going to start.

79
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:20,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're worked. We worked through you know, l Y

80
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:23,800
Speaker 2: and I are still going through all the you know,

81
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 2: logistics with things. We're close, but you know, it requires

82
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 2: a lot of meetings with a lot of different people

83
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 2: in the organization, whether it's a strength coach and nutritionist,

84
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 2: trading staff. You know, we're still working through, but we're

85
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 2: we're really.

86
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 5: Close's talked about how there's a lot they get to

87
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 5: throw out a rookie quarterback. How would you describe how

88
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 5: Jackson has handled everything the spring and how he's done.

89
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's not excellent, He's picking up information, he's you know,

90
00:03:56,880 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 2: it's really good to have Russ and and even Tommy

91
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 2: because Tommy's been in this system for a few years

92
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 2: here and it's kind of the head statesmen in terms

93
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 2: of that and all the adjustments that that take place

94
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 2: or the calls. He's fit right in with those guys.

95
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 2: He's smart, he's aggressive with the football, which I like,

96
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 2: and then you know, the true test will be once

97
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 2: once we start and there's live hitting and preseason games

98
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 2: and things like that. But he's progressed, you know, since

99
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 2: he's been here to where he's not, he's made he's

100
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 2: made good improvement when.

101
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 3: It comes to young quarterbacks quarterbacks, Brian, do you prefer

102
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 3: to to kind of give him everything at once and

103
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:33,720
Speaker 3: see what sticks? Or do you just a little bit

104
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 3: at a time and kind of what your your overall

105
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 3: game plan.

106
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a good question. I'd say philosophy in general

107
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 2: is to throw a lot at that all these guys,

108
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 2: and then you pull it back and see what kind

109
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 2: of sticks, and then you break it down a little bit,

110
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 2: and then you throw it all at him again, and

111
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:52,799
Speaker 2: then by the third time they hear it, they're usually

112
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 2: a lot more comfortable with the information. Again, there's a

113
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 2: lot of information for the quarterbacks, I'd say, in any system,

114
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 2: but I think throwing it at them, bringing it back,

115
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:05,279
Speaker 2: breaking it down in smaller parts, and then throwing it

116
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:07,359
Speaker 2: back at them were kind of whole part whole philosophile

117
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 2: learning it from coach, saving.

118
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 3: Any specific situation throughout your your coaching career where you

119
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 3: took that approach and when you went to go see

120
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 3: what stuck a specific player was like why kind of

121
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 3: took on a little bit more than I expected.

122
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 2: To turn them out absorbing the information and not not

123
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 2: not in not a specific situation. I think they're all

124
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 2: a little bit different. You know, our own receivers have

125
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 2: done a good job, and you know, coach receivers for

126
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 2: a long time. We got you know, some undrafted free

127
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 2: agents that have done a really nice job since they've

128
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,479
Speaker 2: been here of absorbing it and then being able to

129
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 2: play fast, so you get, you know, some type of

130
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 2: valuation to their skill set. Receivers a little bit easier

131
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:44,839
Speaker 2: at this time of year based on how we do

132
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:47,279
Speaker 2: things without the pads on. But they're all they're all

133
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 2: a little bit different. Veterans included to come in free agents,

134
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 2: but they usually have something to you know, relate it

135
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:55,280
Speaker 2: back to that they did it another system or someone

136
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 2: on knew that called it this way, and then you

137
00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 2: try to you know, try to put the best product account.

138
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:05,119
Speaker 1: James's got a big personality, tends to keep things loose

139
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 1: for a lot of people. Is that is that an

140
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 1: important job to.

141
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 3: Kind of keep things loose and fun.

142
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 2: Everybody's different, you know, the most important thing is knowing

143
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:15,360
Speaker 2: what to do and then going out there and being

144
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:17,719
Speaker 2: able to do it. But he's certainly a fun guy

145
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 2: to be around in the meetings outside, but he takes

146
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 2: his craft seriously. Obviously a high pick, the highest pick

147
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:27,720
Speaker 2: you could have, and been around the block a little

148
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 2: bit a couple of different places. He's been a good addition.

149
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:31,360
Speaker 5: So much talk about the.

150
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:34,279
Speaker 4: Mental park for rookie quarterback, but he comes on the field,

151
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 4: do you have you break him down and build him

152
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 4: up or like you say, this is already does it

153
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:39,920
Speaker 4: and work with it like just you know, I mean

154
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 4: like fundamentals or just how you replay, Like how do

155
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:43,719
Speaker 4: you approach out rooky quarterback?

156
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, well so he falls back and naturally on his

157
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 2: fundamentals of how he throws the football. Are there little tweaks?

158
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 2: You can make sure they're little tweaks, But then when

159
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:57,840
Speaker 2: you add all the information that goes along with it,

160
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 2: you know, sometimes it's overload, which is fine. You know,

161
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 2: it happens to all young players. But you you coach

162
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:06,600
Speaker 2: them technique wise and individual drills and coach them throughout

163
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:09,040
Speaker 2: the practice of movement in the pocket or taking too

164
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 2: much or turning the loose when you can turn it

165
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 2: loose or avoiding a sack. But there's you know, you

166
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 2: understand that there's going to be a lot of things

167
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 2: to teach off of for these young guys. But he's

168
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 2: he's done a great job with You can give him

169
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 2: a lot, he can he can absorb a lot, and

170
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 2: then he knows kind of what to weed out and

171
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 2: then what to really focus on the next day. So

172
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 2: he's he's been good.

173
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 5: We've seen him primarily the last couple times we've been

174
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 5: here working with the second team offense. That is that

175
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 5: because of the way he's absorbed information. Is that kind

176
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 5: of where you want him to settle and get most

177
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 5: of his steps? Obviously not all.

178
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'd say he's worked with the second team, the

179
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 2: first team, and the third team age.

180
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 5: You said, I'm not going to raft.

181
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 2: You know, you'll have a plan for Jackson and there

182
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 2: will be times where he won't know what that plan

183
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 2: is and you'll put him in on the spots.

184
00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 5: Have you done much of that in the RTAs put?

185
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 5: Is that is that more of training camp thing?

186
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 1: And why is that important for you to see how

187
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 1: he handles some curve balls.

188
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 2: Well, it's good to get him in with the with

189
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 2: the ones. You know, there's usually a level of anxiety

190
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:13,600
Speaker 2: at times for young players when they get thrown into

191
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 2: the mix. It's not exactly planned in terms of he's

192
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 2: getting Rep. Three. Sometimes we'll just say get in there,

193
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:21,240
Speaker 2: and then he's he's calling to play in front of

194
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 2: veterans that have done it at a high level. I

195
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,760
Speaker 2: think that's important. Or you know, put him with the

196
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 2: threes for a while where he's got to kind of

197
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 2: instruct some other guys that are asking questions about things

198
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 2: that maybe Wandell already knows the answer to that are

199
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 2: asking him in a huddle, and just try to get

200
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 2: him as many different situations as you can, uh so

201
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 2: when it happens, because inevitably it'll happen at some point

202
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:42,720
Speaker 2: that he's went through it at least one or two

203
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 2: times all the players in the buildings then there. Do

204
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:50,200
Speaker 2: you view Andrew Thomas as you're replaceable on your line? Now?

205
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 2: I view him as a really good player for us,

206
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:54,960
Speaker 2: and he's doing a good job of rehabbing and you know,

207
00:08:55,000 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 2: get close to getting back out here. Yeah, he's rehabbing.

208
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:03,080
Speaker 2: He's doing everything he can do to get better. So

209
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 2: we'll see when that time comes
