1
00:00:02,440 --> 00:00:04,880
Speaker 1: It's been a fun challenge to figure out how the

2
00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:06,000
Speaker 1: new kickoff is going to work.

3
00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:11,120
Speaker 2: Uh, yeah, it's been it's been interesting. I don't think

4
00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:15,760
Speaker 2: anybody really knows what to expect. When the rules first

5
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:18,520
Speaker 2: came out, you notice a lot of people are, you know,

6
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:20,680
Speaker 2: saying like a lot of more touchdowns are going to

7
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:23,200
Speaker 2: be scored. It's gonna be very easy. But from the

8
00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:27,000
Speaker 2: games we've seen, well, the Thursday night Hall of Fame game,

9
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:30,440
Speaker 2: it didn't seem too easy. So I think everyone it's

10
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:34,000
Speaker 2: just a big experiment for everyone right now, learning what

11
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:36,760
Speaker 2: to do, learning how to coach it. So yeah, just

12
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:38,040
Speaker 2: still a work in progress.

13
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:41,519
Speaker 3: We will Saturday be the first time you've really gone

14
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:44,840
Speaker 3: full speed on that play.

15
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:48,120
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, we do a really good job of,

16
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 2: you know, trying to emulate what it's going to be

17
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 2: like in a game the way we practice it, and

18
00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:56,120
Speaker 2: you know, I don't think it's gonna be too much

19
00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 2: different from the normal kickoff. It just kind of takes

20
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 2: away the third yard sprint of it. But yeah, like

21
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:06,040
Speaker 2: I said, it's it's all an experiment right now and

22
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 2: we'll see how it goes. But I think we've been

23
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:12,479
Speaker 2: preparing really well with our coaches have been doing, and yeah,

24
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:16,120
Speaker 2: we'll be ready to to learn anything new by watching

25
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:19,480
Speaker 2: the preseason games tonight, and uh, just continue to learn

26
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:20,119
Speaker 2: moving forward.

27
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 1: I think this is obviously evolve over time. Curious how

28
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:26,959
Speaker 1: different Kyle's offense is from the one you came to

29
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:29,760
Speaker 1: as a rookie or maybe when you left in twenty twenty.

30
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, I think I think what I've noticed the

31
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:38,479
Speaker 2: biggest difference. A lot of it has changed. I think

32
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:41,319
Speaker 2: because you've got a guy like Christian McCaffrey in the backfield,

33
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 2: and uh, you know, a guy like Deebo Samuel who

34
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 2: can do so many different things. So I think Kyle

35
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 2: does a really good job of adjusting to his personnel

36
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 2: and getting his playmakers of the ball. So I think,

37
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 2: you know, you know, if if you're not evolving as

38
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 2: an offense, then you're you're getting behind. So every year

39
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 2: the offense is going to continue to evolve no matter

40
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:08,240
Speaker 2: where you are, And uh yeah, I think Kyle does

41
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:08,960
Speaker 2: a great job with that.

42
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 1: In terms of verbiage, you know, all this stuff was

43
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:14,639
Speaker 1: easy to step right back in or was that really

44
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:15,239
Speaker 1: different too?

45
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 2: I think it was it was easy to step back

46
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 2: into because being here for four years prior. You know,

47
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 2: that's kind of like my first knowledge of everything in

48
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:27,639
Speaker 2: the NFL. And so going to a different team, they

49
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 2: kind of use the same words or the same verbiage,

50
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 2: and I'm I kind of revert back to, Okay, this

51
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 2: is how I learned it in n SF, but now

52
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:36,519
Speaker 2: this is what it means here. But instead of going

53
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,079
Speaker 2: through that whole process, I kind of just go back

54
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 2: to the way I've learned it here previously. So it

55
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:43,520
Speaker 2: makes things a lot easier.

56
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:50,080
Speaker 3: Trent, this is your seventh year, eighty eighth year. What

57
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,919
Speaker 3: what did Sunny Dyke see that that everybody else didn't

58
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,360
Speaker 3: see in you? Because you he saw something in you

59
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 3: and gave you a scholarship way back when.

60
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, I'll always uh be in debt to Sunny

61
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:05,920
Speaker 2: Dykes for that. I think. You know, I went to

62
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 2: one of his camps when I was in high school,

63
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:10,920
Speaker 2: did a lot of one on one drills and you know,

64
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 2: routing some guys up there. So he saw me first hand,

65
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:18,959
Speaker 2: my my route running ability and uh, you know, my explosiveness.

66
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 2: And I mean I don't know what he what he

67
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 2: might have saw in me that other people didn't. Maybe

68
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:27,360
Speaker 2: the fact that he got to see me first hand,

69
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 2: face to face running routes. Uh maybe that was a

70
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 2: big deal, but who knows. But I'm glad he took

71
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 2: a chance on me.

72
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 1: Well, good guys, what do you see?

73
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 3: What do you see with the two rookie receivers, especially

74
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 3: Cawing he's a smaller receiver. What could you impart him

75
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 3: to help him?

76
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 2: Yeah? Just right now as a rookie, you know, their

77
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 2: their heads are spending trying to learn the offense, trying

78
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 2: to learn you know, run game, blocking, blocking assignments, and

79
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 2: you know, every little detail in the offense with their

80
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 2: alignments and assignments. And uh so right now, I'm just

81
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 2: trying to, you know, help them figure out what to

82
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 2: focus on. And you know what's most important, you know,

83
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 2: not hearing too much in the huddle with the play calls,

84
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,720
Speaker 2: just knowing what you're supposed to listen to, and uh,

85
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 2: little things like that. But uh, yeah, both of our

86
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:25,160
Speaker 2: guys are They're very explosive receivers, really good at making

87
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 2: cuts and you know, top of the route type of thing.

88
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 2: And uh, you know, I think I think they'll both

89
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 2: be very successful as the years goes on. They both

90
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:35,840
Speaker 2: have a lot of potential.

91
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:38,359
Speaker 1: Are you surprised when you wound up back here or

92
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 1: hoping that it could happen or what? Or do you

93
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 1: think when you left it you would never be back.

94
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:47,159
Speaker 2: Uh, you know, when you first leave, you don't expect

95
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 2: to come back, because you know, I had to. I

96
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 2: had to go make a name for myself. I had

97
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:55,239
Speaker 2: to go prove that I still belong in the NFL

98
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:58,160
Speaker 2: to some other team because I wasn't able to do

99
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 2: it here previously. So that's kind of what my main

100
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 2: focus was because I had a lot to prove coming

101
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:09,040
Speaker 2: off some injuries, not much playing time. So I believe,

102
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 2: you know, I took it one year at a time,

103
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 2: and luckily that led to a punt returning opening job

104
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 2: here this past season. And I think just with my

105
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:25,480
Speaker 2: you know, previous work and staying healthy and taking care

106
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:28,719
Speaker 2: of my business has given me the opportunity to come

107
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:31,239
Speaker 2: back and continue to prove myself.

108
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 1: Seems like you and brock Party have gotten onto the

109
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:34,839
Speaker 1: same page pretty quickly.

110
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 4: What have you gotten out of your work together so far?

111
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:38,919
Speaker 4: How has that happened so fast?

112
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's a great guy, great quarterback. I mean, he

113
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:44,279
Speaker 2: knows where to put it. He's been spot on with

114
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 2: his accuracy between me and him so far, and uh,

115
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:51,480
Speaker 2: it's been really fun to work with him and grow

116
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 2: with him. He has a great touch on the ball

117
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 2: and you know, great knowledge of the game. And I see,

118
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 2: you know, from the outside looking and then there's a

119
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:03,719
Speaker 2: lot of people who doubt, you know, his ability and whatnot.

120
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:06,040
Speaker 2: But once you get in this building and you're around

121
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,280
Speaker 2: him and you watch him every day, and uh, you

122
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 2: realize that, you know, he's the real deal and he

123
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 2: can get it done.

124
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:13,719
Speaker 1: Playing with Brandon Allen, what you've seen from him in

125
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 1: this system, it looks pretty like he's like he takes

126
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:16,599
Speaker 1: to it.

127
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:18,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's doing really well right now. He you know,

128
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:23,599
Speaker 2: laying up some deep balls yesterday to Chris Conley. You know,

129
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 2: he's looking solid, and uh, you know, he's became one

130
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:29,040
Speaker 2: of my good friends in this whole NFL process, going

131
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 2: from Cincinnati to here together. So yeah, it's fun watching,

132
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 2: you know, being close with the guy and going from

133
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:38,360
Speaker 2: place to place together. And uh, you know, I think

134
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 2: he's been doing really well so far.

135
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:42,840
Speaker 3: Trent, who did you study? Who did you study as

136
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 3: a young receiver coming into the league. I'm just kind

137
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:47,360
Speaker 3: of wondering was a Welker or was there was there

138
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 3: a receiver that you studied in college.

139
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 2: I mean, there wasn't like a specific guy that I studied,

140
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:57,279
Speaker 2: but like, obviously you pay attention to Wes Welker, Ammon Dola,

141
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:01,799
Speaker 2: Doug Baldwin, Tyler Lock Yet all those types of guys

142
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 2: who are kind of a little undersized and very quick

143
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 2: and smart type receivers. So you know, I try to

144
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 2: take a little bit from everybody and turn it into

145
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 2: my own thing.

146
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 4: When you were here, George was just starting to emerge

147
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,680
Speaker 4: as a captain, So it's not like anything new watching him,

148
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 4: But do you see him with a bigger control just

149
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 4: the whole team's psyche in the offense.

150
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely. He's he's almost like an assistant coach out there. He's,

151
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 2: you know, one of the guys that's, you know, making

152
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 2: sure the guys are ready to practice every single day,

153
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 2: making sure the vibe of the locker room is going well.

154
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 2: And you know, he's the guy that kind of brings

155
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 2: everybody together in the locker room and you know, knows

156
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 2: how to talk to anybody, and he's always checking in

157
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:50,320
