1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,640
Speaker 1: Thanks for doing this on the quick turnaround here. Um

2
00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:09,119
Speaker 1: just getting uh yeah, just getting Devin back. Um, how

3
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:11,960
Speaker 1: did he sort of handle his opportunities from what you

4
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:14,480
Speaker 1: saw last night? And maybe it's there a play that

5
00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:16,160
Speaker 1: stands out to you that we could go back and

6
00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:20,439
Speaker 1: watch and sort of identify, you know, him executing let's say,

7
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:26,520
Speaker 1: you know, at a high level. Yeah, I thought, I thought, yeah,

8
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:29,400
Speaker 1: I thought, you know, overall, Devin did a great job

9
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:32,920
Speaker 1: of preparing throughout the week. He has He's been you

10
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:36,040
Speaker 1: know working hard, um, you know, to to put himself

11
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:38,239
Speaker 1: in a position to come and you know play a

12
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:40,680
Speaker 1: deef amount of snaps. And last night, you know, it's

13
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:42,640
Speaker 1: not one particular play. I think you know, he was

14
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:46,440
Speaker 1: out there, played a fairly clean game. Definitely, there's you know,

15
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:49,919
Speaker 1: things we got to improve on, you know overall in general,

16
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 1: but for him as well. But I thought, you know,

17
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:56,760
Speaker 1: he worked already tried to you know, play tough in

18
00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:59,000
Speaker 1: the run game and you know, do some different things

19
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 1: that we had asked to do up the week, and

20
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 1: you know he was locked in and you know had

21
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 1: good focus for sixty minutes. I mean, he was he

22
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 1: was ready to go. Hey Man, Dalton and Yack all

23
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:10,320
Speaker 1: three of those guys. So I think it's just a

24
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 1: matter of getting him back in the flow and giving

25
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:16,760
Speaker 1: those guys some opportunities to to you know, to hit

26
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:21,119
Speaker 1: the pads and get going again. Next question Zach Cox

27
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:26,680
Speaker 1: All Dog Kine Hey Nick a similar question along both lines.

28
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 1: Who've been able to have Dalton back out for two

29
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 1: games now and he's played a significant number snaps in

30
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:35,199
Speaker 1: both of those games. Just what have you seen from him? Uh,

31
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:38,759
Speaker 1: coming off that that long layoff that he had. Yeah,

32
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 1: you know, I've seen improvement fundamentally. You know, he's taking

33
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:44,839
Speaker 1: a lot of pride and just playing with better pad

34
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:46,959
Speaker 1: level in the run game, and you know, working on

35
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 1: his techniques and um, he's always ready to go. He

36
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 1: works extremely hard, and you know, I think just you know,

37
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 1: continuous improvement, you know, from week to week is what

38
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 1: I've seen and in general, and you know that's the focus,

39
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 1: continuing to move forward each week. Really Next question Doug

40
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 1: Kin felt by Phil Kerry Nick. We still haven't seen

41
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:10,800
Speaker 1: Dalton or Devin targeted very often in the passing game.

42
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:14,640
Speaker 1: Is that something where they have to do a better

43
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 1: job in one aspect or another or is that more

44
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:20,800
Speaker 1: just a product of the offense. No, I think, you know,

45
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 1: we all have to do a better job. I think

46
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 1: we're always trying to work to you know, compete in

47
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:27,960
Speaker 1: the passing game and be route runners. But you know,

48
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 1: it's a mixture of everything. And we've got to do

49
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 1: a good job of our route detail as route runners, um.

50
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:35,360
Speaker 1: And and you know, creating space to get open and

51
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 1: we and then you know, the opportunities in the passing

52
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:39,960
Speaker 1: game a lot of times will fall on the reads

53
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 1: and the progressions as well. And just in terms of

54
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 1: you know, sometimes there's opportunities and sometimes there's not. And

55
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 1: when there's guys open, you know, usually the guys that

56
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:49,239
Speaker 1: are open are going to get the ball. And that's

57
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:50,800
Speaker 1: now it's just how it goes, So not the one

58
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,359
Speaker 1: thing in particular. Um, you know, it's it's a mixture

59
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 1: of everything. But yeah, we certainly have to continue to

60
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 1: work on our techniques and fundamentals and trying to improve

61
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 1: our route detail each week. And we and we've made improvement.

62
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 1: We just gotta we gotta make a lot more here

63
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:06,919
Speaker 1: moving forward. All right, Next question, Phil Perry, followed by

64
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 1: Mark das Nick. I think you guys are you know,

65
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 1: top one or two in the league when it comes

66
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:20,639
Speaker 1: to um using two backs offensively. And I know, but

67
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:23,360
Speaker 1: isn't always the guy out there in those situations. But

68
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:25,800
Speaker 1: he's awesome the guy in there in those situations. And

69
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 1: obviously it's a tough position to play, the one that

70
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 1: he plays. How have you seen him a hole? I'm

71

73
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm just I'm curious from your perspective, Nick,

74
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 1: how you seen him hold up? Given that it's you know,

75
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 1: it's obviously a physical position, and and he's playing a

76
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 1: lot of snaps. Um, how has he been and how

77
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 1: is he dealing with with the toll of the job. Yeah,

78
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 1: it's you know, he has a you know, he's a

79
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 1: he's a really tough guy. Yo's a very tough guy.

80
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 1: Takes care of his body. Um, he's you know, he

81
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 1: works hard. He puts a lot of time in on

82
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 1: the front end and on the back end. Um, he's

83
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 1: a physical, tough guy, good size. Um, always prepared, always,

84
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 1: you know, always being proactive in terms of taking care

85
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:17,039
Speaker 1: of his body. You know, just like anything else. You know,

86
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:19,720
Speaker 1: bodies of a vehicle, you want to take good care

87
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 1: of it and put you know, put good gasoline in it,

Speaker 1: always doing a good job of that, taking care of

90
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 1: his body, recovering. Um. But he's tough, looks a tough guy,

91
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 1: and you know he plays a physical position and he

92
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 1: embraces that role. He really does. And you know, I

93
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 1: got a lot of appreciation respect for him. Thanks Nick,

94
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 1: Thank you. Yeah, it looks like the last question me

95
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 1: Mark Daniels, great marks, thanks to Nick. Um. You know,

96
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:54,360
Speaker 1: obviously was a bit this offseason was a bit different

97
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 1: um for the newcomers with you know, no spring workouts

98
00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:00,160
Speaker 1: and then no preseason games. And then you add in

99
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,040
Speaker 1: with your with your two rookies there, Devin and Dalton,

100
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 1: you had in you know those short stints on the

101
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 1: I R. There's how much of an uphill climb has

102
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 1: it been for the rookies, just to you know, sort

103
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 1: of grasp on when you take you take into account

104
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 1: you know that you know the miss preseason game, the

105
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 1: midspring practices, and then you know a few weeks of

106
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 1: miss practices. Yeah, well, I think certainly just across the

107
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 1: league in general. I mean it's it's it's probably you know,

108
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 1: a little bit more of an uphill climb for for

109
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 1: all the rookies, just without the you know, the lack

110
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 1: of the off season and the preseason. But everybody's in

111
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:34,719
Speaker 1: the same boat. And you know, we're never gonna make excuses. Um,

112
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:36,840
Speaker 1: you know, you just you had to acclimate on the

113
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:39,279
Speaker 1: run a little bit sooner, and you know, grow up fast,

114
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:42,799
Speaker 1: and you know that maturation process continues, you know, even

115
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:45,480
Speaker 1: out every day. Um, we're learning and growing, and the

116
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 1: biggest thing along the way is just you know, learning

117
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 1: from mistakes and eliminating repeated mistakes. Mistakes are going to

118
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:53,119
Speaker 1: happen in this game. I mean, you know, they're getting

119
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:55,720
Speaker 1: paid too across from us, and they they're they're great athletes,

120
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 1: the best in the world, So things are going to

121
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 1: come up. And the biggest thing is eliminating repeated mistakes.

122
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,600
Speaker 1: And I've been pleased with the growth from that standpoint

123
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 1: week to week. Um, you know, we just got to

124
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 1: continue to learn every day, grow every day, understand the

125
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 1: why behind a lot of things we're doing, which they are,

126
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 1: and you know it's that that's really been the focus.

127
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean, is it an interesting year? Sure

128
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,480
Speaker 1: it is, but you know, everybody's in the same situation

129
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:22,040
Speaker 1: as we are, you know, relative to the rookies, and

130
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,120
Speaker 1: you know you just got to embrace it and keep

131
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:28,160
Speaker 1: kind of pressing on and moving forward. Thanks Nick, Thank you,
