1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:04,480
Speaker 1: What's up? Everybody? Welcome into an Independence Day fourth of

2
00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:08,520
Speaker 1: July version of Texans All Access. I am your host,

3
00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:13,039
Speaker 1: John Harris, football analyst, Sideline reporter and really really happy

4
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:16,720
Speaker 1: to be back from La La Land, Los Angeles. Boys.

5
00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:19,159
Speaker 1: Fun out there. I will say that and when the

6
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:22,599
Speaker 1: weather is sixty nine, so I'll just say this because

7
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:24,480
Speaker 1: I know all of us are sitting there sweating at

8
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:27,920
Speaker 1: all of our barbecues, our cookouts and all that's going on.

9
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:32,599
Speaker 1: The last day I was there, I woke up and

10
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:34,120
Speaker 1: what was one of the last days I was there.

11
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:37,479
Speaker 1: I woke up, I walked about, well, I don't know,

12
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:39,600
Speaker 1: about a quarter of a mile down to Venice Beach

13
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:42,560
Speaker 1: and I went. I ran three miles on Venice Beach.

14
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 1: It was sixty eight degrees. It was glorious. And then

15
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:49,880
Speaker 1: I look at my phone right now it says ninety five.

16
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 1: But either way, glad to be back. And because it

17
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:56,080
Speaker 1: is the fourth of July, a lot of you are

18
00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 1: out about doing different things. Like I said, you might

19
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 1: be at a barbecue, you might be at a cookout somewhere,

20
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:04,679
Speaker 1: whatever you got going on. I hope we've got this

21
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 1: tuned in and turned up, and it is a holiday.

22
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:11,320
Speaker 1: So we understand there are a lot of people doing,

23
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 1: you know, whatever they need to do, and so we thought,

24
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:19,399
Speaker 1: why not share a couple of our favorite interviews from

25
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 1: the last oh, I don't know, month or so, last

26
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 1: about two three weeks or so with well, I don't know,

27
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:27,760
Speaker 1: general manager Nick Serio and hey, coach Lovey Smith. Yeah,

28
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 1: how about those two. So that's what we're gonna do tonight.

29
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 1: We're gonna hear from those two. And we're gonna start

30
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:35,759
Speaker 1: because I flipped a coin and it came up longer

31
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 1: interview first, and that meant general manager Nick Cassario. When

32
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 1: we started with Nick, we of course just lid them

33
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 1: a softball. Hey, how did it go in the off season? Yeah? No,

34
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 1: I think we've certainly made some progress here from the

35
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 1: start of the off season program beginning April to where

36
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 1: we are now. Have a few you know, a few

37
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 1: days left here next week with a mini camp probably

38
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 1: be an extension of some of the things that we've

39
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 1: done here over the last you know, many weeks. There's

40
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 1: certain rules and parameters in place. Have we have a

41
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 1: little more time with the players to teram aining camp.

42
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 1: But let's say overall, like we've had a productive spring.

43
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 1: We've had a fair amount of players on the field.

44
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,680
Speaker 1: I mean, we've had basically the entire team here working

45
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 1: and we've made progress inflation the system, though offensively, defensively,

46
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,080
Speaker 1: a lot of carry over in the kicking game. Be

47
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:20,919
Speaker 1: able to incorporate some of the younger players, some of

48
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 1: the new players, so give very boy an opportunity to

49
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:25,359
Speaker 1: kind of work together. So we're making progress. I think

50
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 1: kind of putting the foundation in place and get ready

51
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:28,800
Speaker 1: to go for training camp is the most important thing,

52
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:30,800
Speaker 1: and we're heading the right direction. I think when we

53
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:33,919
Speaker 1: talk to you right after the draft, we were talking

54
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 1: about positions, maybe they need to have a chance to draft.

55
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 1: We talk about edge and like, hey man, i've gotta

56
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:39,639
Speaker 1: there might be a few things in the works, and

57
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 1: we find out that there were some things in the works.

58
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 1: Mario Addison, Jerry Hughes, you bring them along obviously, with

59
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 1: Rahime Green and Nick. I've watched those two guys and

60
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 1: how they interact with younger players. How valuable was the

61
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 1: experience factor of two guys like Mario Addison Jerry Hughes. No,

62
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 1: it's been really impressive. You know, Mario hasn't necessarily been practicing,

63
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 1: but he's been very involved. And when you play against

64
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 1: players from AFAR, you know, you see what they do

65
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 1: on the field, how they play, their pro level of productivity, say,

66
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 1: speaking specifically to Mario, Mario goes back to Levey in Chicago,

67
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 1: and Mario wasn't drafted. Now here's the player who's been

68
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 1: in the league, you know, ten eleven years, however long

69
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 1: it's been. He's had a really good career and there's

70
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:19,959
Speaker 1: a reason that he's made to this point. You a

71
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 1: obviously have to a certain level of skill and then

72
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 1: be there's some other things that go along with it

73
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 1: to making yourself a productive player, and he showcased those

74
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 1: things where he had those qualities. I would say Chicago

75
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 1: and then even going back to Buffalo. You know, when

76
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:34,399
Speaker 1: I was in New England, you know, between Hughes and Addison,

77
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 1: you know, we had to see those guys twice a year.

78
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 1: I'd say they were both kind of pains in the asses,

79
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 1: you know, on the other side of the ball, you know,

80
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 1: to block. I'd say in Hughes, I mean, there's a

81
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 1: reason that he's had the longevity that he's had. I'd

82
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 1: say his overall day to day professional and his approach,

83
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 1: how he prepares his thought process, and he's not We've

84
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 1: talked about this at different points to about leadership. What

85
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 1: is leadership about? How does leadership manifest itself? And I'd

86
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 1: say in both of those players case, not necessarily vociferous

87
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 1: and loud, but they make a huge impact in terms

88
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 1: of their actions. And then when they back that up,

89
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 1: they back their words up with their actions. And then

90
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 1: if you're a younger player and you see that and

91
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 1: you see you know what, these guys have been in

92
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 1: the league for twelve years, twelve plus years for a reason.

93
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 1: There's a number of factors that can winto with So

94
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 1: having those players in the building just kind of working

95
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:23,599
Speaker 1: with the group. Again, Mario has been the presence of practice,

96
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 1: even though he hasn't necessarily been involved, but he's down

97
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 1: there with Jocks drills and they're working with each other.

98
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:31,839
Speaker 1: They're talking about technique, they're talking about different things. So

99
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 1: I say that overall group, I mean there's I don't

100
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:36,280
Speaker 1: know how many of fifteen sixteen of them that are

101
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:39,719
Speaker 1: down there, some most of them are working. But the

102
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:41,919
Speaker 1: way they interact, the way they communicate, you know, with

103
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,599
Speaker 1: Jock and Kenyan, I mean the way that they work together.

104
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,159
Speaker 1: You know, it's been fun to watch Nick. We know

105
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:49,719
Speaker 1: improving the running game is a huge priority for the

106
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:52,920
Speaker 1: franchise in OTAs, what have you seen and what can

107
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 1: you really tell from OTA's about how that's going so far. Yeah,

108
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:58,480
Speaker 1: it's a good point. Mark. The run game is always

109
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 1: hard in the spring to really get a true assessment

110
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 1: of where it is. But you want to see a

111
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 1: do the players know who to block? What's the distribution

112
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 1: of blockers? Are they making the appropriate is the back

113
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:11,039
Speaker 1: making the appropriate read? Do they understand how the play

114
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:13,280
Speaker 1: is blocked? They understand where the play is designed to go,

115
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:16,479
Speaker 1: and that takes repetition. So the more that you're able

116
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 1: to do that against i would say, moving targets on

117
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:22,480
Speaker 1: the other side, and the tempo is controlled in practice,

118
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 1: like we're very specific, take two steps and kind of

119
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,679
Speaker 1: pull off or stop. You'll have the opportunity in training

120
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 1: camp to finish. We want to avoid collisions. You want

121
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:31,920
Speaker 1: to just avoid kind of harms way if we can,

122
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:34,840
Speaker 1: but in terms of the course, in terms of the angle,

123
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 1: in terms of the distribution of the blockers, if we

124
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 1: have to run a play against a certain front, Okay,

125
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 1: if we have run run, check all right, run this play.

126
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:44,479
Speaker 1: If they give us this look, run this place, they

127
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 1: give us another look. The communication, the mechanism to get

128
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:50,359
Speaker 1: that information out. So I'd say from that perspective, market,

129
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 1: it's been helpful to be able to go out there

130
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 1: and more work on the timing, the execution, the physical component,

131
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 1: the physical nature that will manifest itself. You know a

132
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 1: little bit more in training camp. But the run game

133
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:02,600
Speaker 1: is always hard to you want to work on it

134
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:04,599
Speaker 1: because you still have to get a foundation. How we

135
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 1: call to play? What's the play called? What's the blocking pattern?

136
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:10,480
Speaker 1: What do we call that? What? How does the communication

137
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 1: go from the center of the guard, the guard of

138
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 1: the tackle, the tackle to the tight end. Is it

139
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 1: a trade block? Is a double team block? How are

140
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 1: we handling this look? Say? So those are things you

141
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:21,719
Speaker 1: can still sort of, I would say, work on despite

142
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 1: they're not being contact. You love it when I ask

143
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:27,479
Speaker 1: questions about rookies. So I'm gonna ask questions about the

144
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:29,720
Speaker 1: second year guys because the one thing that I've learned

145
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:33,920
Speaker 1: probably more than anything else he's talked about. Yeah he has,

146
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 1: but you always talk about the rookies in their second year,

147
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:40,840
Speaker 1: and it's not so much the second year, but it

148
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 1: feels like springing practice going into their sophomore year Davis Nico.

149
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 1: In that group, what have you see from that group

150
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:47,839
Speaker 1: that you like the fact that they step in here,

151
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:50,679
Speaker 1: don't know anything, go through a season. Now they're into

152
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:53,840
Speaker 1: the second this offseason where they've been around, they kind

153
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 1: of know where everything is, and now they're starting to

154
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 1: develop into veterans at that point. What do you see

155
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,360
Speaker 1: for the second year group Davis Nico, Roy, etc. Let's

156
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 1: say overall, they're just more comfortable with everything that comes

157
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 1: along with being an NFL player. So they've been able

158
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:06,720
Speaker 1: to kind of go through the full year. What works,

159
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,240
Speaker 1: what doesn't work? What's my routine? Okay this segment of

160
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 1: the year, What are the things that are important? What

161
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 1: can I work on this particular day? Am I making

162
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 1: strides in the weight room? You just have an overall,

163
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 1: I would say, familiarity with even though we've had some

164
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 1: changes in the building on the staff, familiarity with the

165
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 1: program and the nuances of the day to day. So

166
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 1: from that perspective perspective, I mean they've done you know,

167
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 1: they've done a really good job. I don't want to

168
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 1: speak specifically on one player, But I'd say Gara Walla

169
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 1: has probably done as as well as any player on

170
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 1: the team from the time that he walked into building

171
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 1: to where he is in the spring. I mean, he's

172
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 1: learned all three linebacker positions, he has a role in

173
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 1: a kicking game, He's made strides in the weight room.

174
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 1: He just looks like a different player. So there's a

175
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 1: player you look and say, this guy looks like he's

176
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 1: putting a lot of time. He had an opportunity to play.

177
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 1: He's trying to take advantage and build on some of

178
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 1: the things that happened, you know, last year. I'd say

179
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:00,160
Speaker 1: there's a good example of kind of that year or

180
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 1: one to year two transition. And really there they walked

181
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 1: in the building, call it a year ago at this time,

182
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:08,119
Speaker 1: that's when they really just walked into the building and said, okay,

183
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 1: this is NFL football. So now having gone through that,

184
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 1: they've gotten a lot of reps and all of them,

185
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 1: all five of the guys that have played have been

186
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 1: on the field, so they've been out there, they've practiced.

187
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 1: So if you're out there and your practice, then you

188
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 1: can improve and you're seeing that I would say from

189
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 1: all five players, well, Lovey has talked about the rookies,

190
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 1: but let's talk about the group at large, Nick, because

191
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 1: I know not everybody can be out there right now,

192
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:34,720
Speaker 1: but you're seeing some things so far, some flashes things

193
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:37,120
Speaker 1: like that. Can you speak to that. Yeah, I think

194
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 1: each day you're seeing some different things from different players.

195
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 1: The most important thing is for any player is there

196
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 1: the players that are in the NFL. A lot of

197
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 1: them are here because they all have the ability and

198
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 1: you can do it on a you know, one day,

199
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 1: one guy can make a play. Can you do that

200
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 1: consecutive days, consecutive plays? Can you start to stack them together?

201
00:08:57,520 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 1: And I would say you're starting to see that from

202
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 1: some rookies and the younger players. So I'd say here's

203
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:06,040
Speaker 1: a group overall. Their attitude has been really good, They've

204
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 1: worked really hard, They've kind of or starting to understand

205
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 1: the way expectation on a day to day basis, and

206
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 1: the idea is to go in there and take advantage

207
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:17,080
Speaker 1: or opportunity whenever on the field, whatever repetitions that you have.

208
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:19,320
Speaker 1: Everybody's getting reps this time year, Matt. If you go

209
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 1: with a rep chart, I mean it's pretty well distributed

210
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 1: across positions. So when you're your opportunities come go in there. Okay,

211
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 1: the executed assignment, does he know what to do? Okay?

212
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 1: Is their production that goes along with it? Okay? If

213
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 1: we had an issue on the play, what happened? Does

214
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 1: he understand it? Can he come back and he's self correct?

215
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:35,959
Speaker 1: So it's say from that perspective, I mean, how from

216
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 1: any rookies we have in total on the field, there's

217
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 1: twenty of them. Most of them been out there for

218
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:42,320
Speaker 1: the majority of the time. There's a few that are

219
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 1: different stages that are doing different things. But overall, I'd

220
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:47,840
Speaker 1: say they're making progress and looks like they're hopefully going

221
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 1: to be prepared for training camp when we get started

222
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:51,679
Speaker 1: here in a few you know, in a few months. Nick,

223
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:53,440
Speaker 1: one of the areas that love you talked about pre

224
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 1: draft and it was funny because love you can be honest.

225
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:58,640
Speaker 1: I mean, he won't say anything bad, but he'll be honest.

226
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:00,839
Speaker 1: And he was asked about secondary. Look, the secondary has

227
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 1: to be better. I know we're only into OTA's but

228
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 1: you drafted Derek Stingley, you drafted Jal Petrie, added some

229
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:08,880
Speaker 1: of the pieces, brought some pieces back. As you look

230
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 1: at the secondary, right, now, how do you like the

231
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 1: progress and what are the things that you'd like see

232
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:15,719
Speaker 1: that secondary do maybe even better. Yeah, it's always hard

233
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 1: in the spring, you know, you kind of your assessment

234
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:19,720
Speaker 1: of where your team is. But we feel that we've

235
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 1: improved the team overall that you know we have you know,

236
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 1: decent depth. I would say the thing about the secondary

237
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 1: that probably stands out. You know there's especially a corner.

238
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 1: I mean it's a group that's that's long, that's I

239
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,560
Speaker 1: had some length, it's big, and they're fast. So you

240
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 1: see the speech show up on the perimeter, whether it's Sheffield,

241
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:39,960
Speaker 1: whether it's Moreau, whether it's ike Um so all the

242
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 1: you know in TT, you know he hadn't been out there,

243
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 1: but we know he's fast. So I would say the

244
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 1: secondary looks like there's you know, there's some speed in

245
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:49,720
Speaker 1: that group. Both with the corner group and the safety group.

246
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 1: They've been active in productive getting their hands on the ball.

247
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:54,520
Speaker 1: Stingley hads been on the field yet, but I would

248
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:56,679
Speaker 1: say he has some of the measurements and that are

249
00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 1: similar size and speed that some of those other players have.

250
00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:02,520
Speaker 1: I'd say it's been a pretty competitive group between the

251
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 1: corners and the safeties as well, you know, not the

252
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 1: transition to the safeties, but you know, guys like Terence

253
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 1: who were here last year brought an m J Jalen's

254
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 1: been out there, you know, Joe has been out there practicing.

255
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 1: So I mean, overall, it's a pretty i would say

256
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 1: competitive group. So can we carry some of the things

257
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 1: that we've done here in the spring to the field

258
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:23,199
Speaker 1: and or call it real live settings? But I mean overall,

259
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 1: I think, you know, we're fairly pleased with the progress

260
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:27,200
Speaker 1: that some of those players are making, and you know,

261
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 1: we'll see how that transpires here in training camp. I know,

262
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 1: wherever you go around town, grocery store, whatever, not buying carbohydrates.

263
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 1: I know that people ask you how's Mills looking? So

264
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 1: what's your answer, how's Mills looking? Now? But you were

265
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 1: gonna say they ask you about your vets. Well, I

266
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 1: didn't wear it today. I knew this was coming, so

267
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:48,640
Speaker 1: I left it at home. You could have been on brand,

268
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:52,320
Speaker 1: just like I could. Yeah, I'd say the quarterback group

269
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 1: overall has done a nice job. They've taken a lot

270
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 1: of reps. David is taking a lot of reps. I'd

271
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:00,320
Speaker 1: say he's made progress. I think the biggest thing this

272
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 1: time of the year the quarterback is the things that

273
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:04,679
Speaker 1: you can work on. There's your decision making, your anticipation,

274
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:08,200
Speaker 1: and then just trying to assimilate game situations. All Right,

275
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:10,040
Speaker 1: this situation comes up, how we're gonna handle How are

276
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 1: we going to handle this situation? What's the right throw?

277
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 1: You know, versus like trying to do too much with

278
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:17,080
Speaker 1: the ball. And I think there's been some plays. There's been,

279
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 1: you know, a number of good plays, and there's been

280
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:20,360
Speaker 1: some plays where you're looking to say, you know what,

281
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:22,040
Speaker 1: all right, I'd like to have that back. Let's go

282
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 1: back and take a look at it and then have

283
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:25,320
Speaker 1: a discussion. Hey, here's what happened. What did you see?

284
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:27,040
Speaker 1: All Right, next time, let's make sure we do this

285
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 1: so being able to transition from one player than the next,

286
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 1: being able to understand whether some of the corrections, what

287
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:33,800
Speaker 1: are we trying to accomplish on the play. I say,

288
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:36,680
Speaker 1: those are the things he's certainly probably more comfortable and

289
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:39,839
Speaker 1: ahead of this year where he was last year, and

290
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:42,000
Speaker 1: with good reason. I think he's thrown I mean we

291
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 1: just went through the rep chart. I mean there's been

292
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:47,400
Speaker 1: he's had almost like three hundred attempts, you know, which

293
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:49,040
Speaker 1: is a lot of throws right of course of a spring.

294
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:50,880
Speaker 1: I'm talking about in a team setting, not like throwing

295
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:53,520
Speaker 1: a bunch of routes. So you know he's taking a

296
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:55,839
Speaker 1: lot of throws against a love defense. You know, you

297
00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 1: guys have been out of practice. We run call almost

298
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:01,120
Speaker 1: sixty plays in a practice, so that sixty plays. Not

299
00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 1: all of them are passes, but sixty plays. Be able

300
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 1: to watch them or what happened on a play? What's

301
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 1: a coverage? To say? One of the things that our

302
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 1: defense has done a really good job of is that

303
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:11,080
Speaker 1: the sky's element. They've done a great job pre snap.

304
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 1: It's one thing, and then a lot of it is

305
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:15,679
Speaker 1: just understanding okay, when the ball is snap, Okay, what happens,

306
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 1: and being will anticipate and be able to see. Okay,

307
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 1: what's you know, what's my answer? If they do this,

308
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:22,720
Speaker 1: we're gonna do this. So I think seeing those things

309
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:25,440
Speaker 1: in real speed, this is the opportunity to do it.

310
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 1: And I'd say, to our defense's credit, they've done a

311
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:29,839
Speaker 1: nice job. Put some stress on the offense, but it's

312
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:32,839
Speaker 1: a great learning opportunity. He told us that sometimes it's

313
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:34,720
Speaker 1: time of year this is the time of year to

314
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 1: try some things that you might not try in a game.

315
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:39,440
Speaker 1: How do you want to see players? Balance that kind

316
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:41,560
Speaker 1: of thing, because it does make sense, but you have

317
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:43,199
Speaker 1: to get ready for the real thing at the same time.

318
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:45,600
Speaker 1: It's a it's a delicate balance. So as long as

319
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 1: you understand the why behind it. Okay, have a play,

320
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:51,320
Speaker 1: something happened on the play, whatever the decision is, or

321
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:54,439
Speaker 1: why do I make that decision? Okay, what are my alternatives? Okay?

322
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:56,560
Speaker 1: You know what the right thing is this? Okay? As

323
00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 1: long as you understand that and then the application behind it,

324
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:01,120
Speaker 1: that's the key. It's one thing to say, oh, yeah,

325
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:02,880
Speaker 1: I saw what happened on the play. All right, I'm

326
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:04,560
Speaker 1: just trying something that I'm gonna do it different. But

327
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:06,600
Speaker 1: if you start to see a pattern of behavior and

328
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:09,199
Speaker 1: the same action behind it while you haven't self corrected it,

329
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 1: so don't be an era repeater. You want to go

330
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:13,560
Speaker 1: ahead and try something, or you think it's gonna work,

331
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 1: or maybe you try to fit a ball in a

332
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 1: tighter window. Okay, you know, is that the right thing

333
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 1: to do? Well? Maybe not, but you know you want

334
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 1: to see if okay, if I put it here, what

335
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:25,120
Speaker 1: would happen or do I just go to the you know,

336
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:28,400
Speaker 1: check down and go to the next play. So those

337
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 1: are things they spring is spring. You sometimes try some

338
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 1: different things, but you want to create good habits so

339
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 1: that you carry those good habits when you're in because

340
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 1: when happens, I mean we're practicing and the speed is

341
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 1: one thing. Then you get into game, things are gonna

342
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:42,680
Speaker 1: happen even quicker, so you're not gonna have a lot

343
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:44,280
Speaker 1: of time to think about it. You have to react.

344
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 1: So have you built up your habits enough that you

345
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:49,200
Speaker 1: react and make the right decision? Nick, I know a

346
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 1: guy that's intrigued to a lot of Texans fans because

347
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:55,240
Speaker 1: in a playoff game in twenty eighteen, Marlon Mack danced

348
00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 1: all over that stadium then just destroyed us. Then he

349
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 1: has two years where he's hurt, and then Jonathan Taylor

350
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 1: emerges and so he's kind of stuck behind him. What

351
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:07,920
Speaker 1: gave you the thought that, hey, Marla Max still got

352
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:09,200
Speaker 1: something in the tank. I want to bring him here

353
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:10,640
Speaker 1: and see what he's got. He looks like he has

354
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 1: some juice. What are your thoughts about bringing Marla mackets

355
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 1: that running back group. Yeah, Marlin has been good to

356
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:16,520
Speaker 1: work with. I mean that room is it's a really

357
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 1: good room. I mean all six players. You know, it

358
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 1: seems like each day they all do something that kind

359
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:22,320
Speaker 1: of forced you to go back and say, man, that

360
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:24,640
Speaker 1: was pretty good. You know, whether it's Jed, whether it's Royce,

361
00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 1: I mean Rex. I mean everybody knows Rex, and but

362
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:29,720
Speaker 1: Rex still goes out there and does things and you go, wow, Okay,

363
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 1: that was pretty good, and they'd say, Marlin's done the

364
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:33,720
Speaker 1: same thing. So he's got a good attitude, kind of quiet,

365
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:36,360
Speaker 1: you know, quiet kid, quiet guy, but he's healthy. I

366
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:38,640
Speaker 1: think he has confidence and you kind of see it

367
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:40,280
Speaker 1: in spurts, you know, when he kind of has a

368
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 1: little burst to you know, Ronnie edged a defense and

369
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 1: there's a little bit of crease. He can kind of

370
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:46,560
Speaker 1: get into that space. So you know, it's been he's

371
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:48,280
Speaker 1: been a good guy to work with. Um. You know,

372
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 1: anytime you come back from a serious injury, it's always difficult.

373
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:53,480
Speaker 1: But he's a few years removed from that. So I

374
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:56,240
Speaker 1: mean that last year, you know, theoretically was healthy. You know,

375
00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:58,080
Speaker 1: he just didn't play because he's behind one of the

376
00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 1: best players in the league. And that's just the way

377
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 1: that this goes sometimes so but looks like he still

378
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:05,680
Speaker 1: has some physical things going for him. So he's had

379
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:07,680
Speaker 1: been a talented player, you know, in the league here

380
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 1: for a number of years. You know, we'll see how

381
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 1: it translates into, you know, some of the things that

382
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 1: we're asking to do well. We brought up some of

383
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:16,480
Speaker 1: the guys who are veterans that you brought along, like

384
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 1: Jerry Hughes for instance. But the d line in general, Nick,

385
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 1: what are their seventeen defensive lineman and love He's probably

386
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 1: gonna want to keep them all, I would imagine, but

387
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 1: they're we actually have more offensive players on the roster

388
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 1: than defensive players, which he and I have had a

389
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 1: chuckle about that at different points. Though it's been fun,

390
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 1: but that is a group looks like they've got a

391
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:39,040
Speaker 1: lot of ability, a lot of variety, and it's gonna

392
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:41,280
Speaker 1: be a tough cut eventually. Sure. Yeah, I think there's

393
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:43,560
Speaker 1: gonna be a lot of competition. I mean, really across

394
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 1: the roster. It's the defensive side of the ball, I mean,

395
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:48,320
Speaker 1: the defensive line, the linebackers. We haven't even talked about

396
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 1: that group, but I mean it's that's you know, it

397
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:51,840
Speaker 1: looks like a pretty competitive group with a lot of

398
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:55,160
Speaker 1: depth between defense and a kicking game. But the defensive line,

399
00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:56,960
Speaker 1: you know, we're gonna play a lot of defensive lineman.

400
00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:59,120
Speaker 1: You know, each week we're gonna probably take eight or

401
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:01,480
Speaker 1: nine to the game, all gonna play. So you want

402
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:03,800
Speaker 1: to have confidence in conviction about those players that you're

403
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:06,639
Speaker 1: gonna put on the field. So we know, take X

404
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:08,879
Speaker 1: to the game. You might have to carry a few extras,

405
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 1: either on a roster on a practice squad. But you know,

406
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:14,400
Speaker 1: let's say and Jock, the way they played defense in Buffalo,

407
00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 1: they played a lot of defensive players. I mean they

408
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:19,560
Speaker 1: played eight to nine. So it's say, philosophically, some of

409
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:21,400
Speaker 1: the same things, and we did the same thing last year.

410
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:24,240
Speaker 1: We played a lot of defensive lineman as as you recall.

411
00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:27,600
Speaker 1: So trying to get production from a lot of players.

412
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:30,200
Speaker 1: And I think you know, when you watch Jock that group,

413
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:34,320
Speaker 1: it's about running the ball, max effort on every play,

414
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 1: and physically you can do that, you know, if you

415
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 1: really want to exert full you know energy, you know,

416
00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:41,639
Speaker 1: kates three to four plays, all right, and then you

417
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:43,320
Speaker 1: got to catch a breath then come back and do it.

418
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:46,440
Speaker 1: It's hard to just do that maximum effort. Eight nine,

419
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:48,320
Speaker 1: ten plays in a row start to wear on you.

420
00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:50,160
Speaker 1: But if you have enough depth and you can roll

421
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:52,880
Speaker 1: another group in there, then you know, I think that's

422
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 1: how we're ideally would like to be able to play. Nick.

423
00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:57,719
Speaker 1: I know the ultimate goal is to win a championship.

424
00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 1: To win a championship, you have to have type of team,

425
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 1: a team that could be all these different types of teams.

426
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:04,440
Speaker 1: And you look around, like to beat the Bills, Okay,

427
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, they throw the ball around. The Chiefs are

428
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:08,000
Speaker 1: gonna throw the ball around. A lot of teams are

429
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:09,639
Speaker 1: throwing the ball around. And then you look at Art

430
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:12,880
Speaker 1: Division and you gotta tackle Henry twice twice a year.

431
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:15,240
Speaker 1: You gotta tackle Jonathan Taylor twice a year, and then

432
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:18,239
Speaker 1: you gotta tangle with James Robinson and Travis Eten twice year.

433
00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:20,359
Speaker 1: That's six out of seventeen games. You're facing some of

434
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:23,000
Speaker 1: the better, if not the best running backs in the league.

435
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 1: How does that change in some sense the way you

436
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:28,439
Speaker 1: might put this team together or how you've put it

437
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:30,440
Speaker 1: together to this point and will in the future. No,

438
00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:33,240
Speaker 1: it's a good question, John, I'd say you have to

439
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:34,960
Speaker 1: just look at your team try to figure out are

440
00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:37,080
Speaker 1: what are the things that we think we want to

441
00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:38,600
Speaker 1: be able to do. We have to be able to

442
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:41,480
Speaker 1: do them. Well, you're always cognizant of your opponent, You're

443
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:43,760
Speaker 1: always cognizant of what's going on in the division. But

444
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:45,479
Speaker 1: then you just have to figure out what gives us

445
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 1: the best opportunity, the best chance to win on Sunday

446
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:51,240
Speaker 1: and structure the team accordingly. So where the team is

447
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:53,720
Speaker 1: now currently, I'm sure there will be some changes here

448
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:55,280
Speaker 1: by the time we get to the fifty three man

449
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:58,080
Speaker 1: roster and then a practice squads as well. I think

450
00:18:58,080 --> 00:18:59,760
Speaker 1: there's a certain way that we want to play. Love's

451
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:01,760
Speaker 1: talk about this, like the ability to be able to

452
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:03,840
Speaker 1: run the ball more effective with than we did last year.

453
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:05,959
Speaker 1: I mean, look, everybody, we didn't run the ball well enough.

454
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:07,800
Speaker 1: We really needn't do much of anything well enough, and

455
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:10,120
Speaker 1: we're all accountable for that. So we want to try

456
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:12,480
Speaker 1: to make some improvements. Tho there is, but I'd say, offensively,

457
00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:15,639
Speaker 1: two jobs at the offense, moving ball and score points,

458
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 1: like however you do it like that's the goal. So

459
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:20,360
Speaker 1: you know, there's situational elements that come up, the execution

460
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:21,800
Speaker 1: on third down. Then once you get down to the

461
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:24,400
Speaker 1: red zone, can you score touchdown instead of kicking field goals?

462
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:27,280
Speaker 1: And then as you mentioned, defensively, you know, trying to

463
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:29,439
Speaker 1: tackle Taylor every you know twice a year, trying to

464
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:32,360
Speaker 1: tackle Henry twice a year, Etn who didn't even play

465
00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:34,520
Speaker 1: last year, and James Robinson. So at some point you're

466
00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:36,119
Speaker 1: gonna have to be able to stop the run, get

467
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:37,960
Speaker 1: a stop and you need it, and then play good

468
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:39,880
Speaker 1: pass defense when you force the other team to pass.

469
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:44,480
Speaker 1: So I'd say the team building exercise, it's it's a

470
00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:47,120
Speaker 1: fun exercise to be a part of, and it's constantly

471
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:49,679
Speaker 1: changing and you have to be adaptable. You have to

472
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:51,160
Speaker 1: really look at your team. You have to know your team.

473
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:52,560
Speaker 1: Try to figure out what are the things that we

474
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:55,680
Speaker 1: do well? Okay, do we have the players that we

475
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:57,440
Speaker 1: were able to do those things? And if we don't,

476
00:19:57,480 --> 00:19:58,920
Speaker 1: we'll go out there and find them. And if we

477
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:01,200
Speaker 1: if we think where you're okay with where we are,

478
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:03,159
Speaker 1: try to play a certain way and if we have

479
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:05,920
Speaker 1: to adjust, then hopefully we can adjust. And again, just

480
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:07,440
Speaker 1: figure out a way to move the ball and score

481
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:10,200
Speaker 1: points offensively and get stops on defense. How do you

482
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:12,960
Speaker 1: want to see the players spend their time between mini

483
00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:16,160
Speaker 1: camp and training camp. That's a big gap. It's got

484
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:19,680
Speaker 1: to really not concern people in the organization all over

485
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:22,680
Speaker 1: the league. But you know, they're not under your umbrella

486
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 1: during that time for the most part, even though I'm

487
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:26,240
Speaker 1: sure they can come in and do some things. Sure,

488
00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:29,879
Speaker 1: I'd say use your time wisely and judiciously, and I

489
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:32,840
Speaker 1: think everybody needs a little bit of a time away

490
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:35,440
Speaker 1: from football. It's good. But I'd say from a player's standpoint,

491
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:37,760
Speaker 1: you have a four to six week window where you

492
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:40,440
Speaker 1: have to maintain your strength, maintain your endurance, maintain your

493
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:43,159
Speaker 1: physical performance. And we're going to give our players a

494
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:45,439
Speaker 1: program and say if you do these things on a

495
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:48,760
Speaker 1: weekly basis, structure your week accordingly, go out there and train.

496
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:50,879
Speaker 1: Then when you show up for training camp, you should

497
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:53,399
Speaker 1: be prepared to withstand the rigors of what we're about

498
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:55,360
Speaker 1: to ask you to do. So I don't think there's

499
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:57,800
Speaker 1: a concern of you know, hopefully they're going to run

500
00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:00,320
Speaker 1: wayward outside of the building. You know, again, and make

501
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 1: good choices, use your time wisely, stay in your routine.

502
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:07,800
Speaker 1: You can't just okay, go full bore football. You're in

503
00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:10,280
Speaker 1: the building every day, then all of a sudden do nothing,

504
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:12,399
Speaker 1: Like you have to get into a routine. So like

505
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 1: simulate what a day would be like, all right, get up,

506
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:17,600
Speaker 1: have breakfast all right, get your training in all right.

507
00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:20,240
Speaker 1: Then when you're done at noon or one, okay, then recover,

508
00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:22,920
Speaker 1: get your sleep all right. Then the next day get

509
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:25,080
Speaker 1: up and do the same thing. So the ability to

510
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:27,560
Speaker 1: kind of stay on course and stay on routine and

511
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:29,719
Speaker 1: stay on task is important, and you have to make

512
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:31,760
Speaker 1: a commitment to doing that. The reality is it's not

513
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:34,920
Speaker 1: do football for however many months or I do nothing

514
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:37,560
Speaker 1: for four to six weeks and then come into training

515
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:38,840
Speaker 1: cam and think you're going to be able to make

516
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:41,520
Speaker 1: it through. I would say what's going to be probably

517
00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:43,480
Speaker 1: is difficult a thing that you've done to this point.

518
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:45,040
Speaker 1: You have to prepare your mind, you have to bare

519
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:48,280
Speaker 1: your body accordingly, but you want to do it within reason.

520
00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:50,320
Speaker 1: You have a little more flexibility, but you still have

521
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:52,480
Speaker 1: to get work done. I think that's the most important

522
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:54,720
Speaker 1: thing that they have to realize. So is that sort

523
00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:57,280
Speaker 1: of you having to follow the same script and the

524
00:21:57,320 --> 00:21:58,879
Speaker 1: coach is kind of doing the same thing. You have

525
00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:01,239
Speaker 1: to get away, but you can't get away too much.

526
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:03,680
Speaker 1: From your routine. No, it's very true, you know, I

527
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:06,240
Speaker 1: would say I try to stay on a routine. You're

528
00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:08,520
Speaker 1: maybe days structure a little bit differently, I think. I mean,

529
00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:10,360
Speaker 1: I look forward to the summer because it's an opportunity

530
00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:12,440
Speaker 1: to spend time with my daughters and my wife, and

531
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:16,280
Speaker 1: we maximize our opportunities together. So and then when there's

532
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:18,480
Speaker 1: windows or pockets of time, a little bit of downtime,

533
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:20,359
Speaker 1: all right, there's something that maybe it can work on.

534
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:22,520
Speaker 1: You know, go through some college players, go through some

535
00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:25,159
Speaker 1: of the college reports, start to think about or what

536
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:26,560
Speaker 1: are some of the things in training camp that we

537
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:29,679
Speaker 1: need to get done. So everybody needs to take some

538
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:33,560
Speaker 1: time away to refresh. It's good for everybody's I would say, mine,

539
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:35,520
Speaker 1: it's good for your body, and we should do that.

540
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:38,160
Speaker 1: I mean this way, when you come back in training camp,

541
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:40,680
Speaker 1: you're reinvigorated, you're fresh, and you're ready to go. So

542
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:43,040
Speaker 1: we all need time away. We all need time to reflect,

543
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:44,960
Speaker 1: and we all need, you know, kind of our time away.

544
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:47,720
Speaker 1: It's important to do and there's absolutely nothing wrong. We

545
00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:49,560
Speaker 1: should enjoy it. But you also want to try to

546
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:51,680
Speaker 1: stay on track and try to stay with your routine.

547
00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:53,920
Speaker 1: I think the people out to have routines. I mean,

548
00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:57,000
Speaker 1: it's that you're going to stay on course regardless. Two

549
00:22:57,040 --> 00:22:59,880
Speaker 1: quick questions for training camp. Should I drink regular water

550
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:03,440
Speaker 1: or water with electric light? Absolutely okay, enhancement with electrocl

551
00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:07,080
Speaker 1: absolutely okay. And will you see Top Gun? Maverick? I

552
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:10,440
Speaker 1: actually already have you have love it? This is actually great.

553
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:12,520
Speaker 1: So I'm one of the if you asked me about

554
00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:14,080
Speaker 1: a movie, I'm one of the worst. In the history

555
00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:16,120
Speaker 1: of the world. I don't, I haven't. I can't tell

556
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:17,600
Speaker 1: you the last time I went to the movie theater

557
00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:22,000
Speaker 1: or I've watched the movie on TV. So my favorite

558
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:25,160
Speaker 1: movies of all time, I would say the original Top Gun, Hoosiers,

559
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:27,399
Speaker 1: and a few Good Men, I'd say those three. I mean,

560
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:30,400
Speaker 1: there might be some other ones about that. So my

561
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:32,720
Speaker 1: wife and I I said, look, we gotta go see

562
00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:34,639
Speaker 1: this movie, and she's like, all right, well, we'll go.

563
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:37,119
Speaker 1: So we actually went last weekend, and I'd been in

564
00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:39,480
Speaker 1: a movie theater and forever. I loved it. It It was phenomenal. Yeah,

565
00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:41,640
Speaker 1: we have my son and I went to see it.

566
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:44,760
Speaker 1: It's interesting because seeing it the first time I was

567
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:47,479
Speaker 1: I mean I was sixteen, seventeen years old and now

568
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:50,159
Speaker 1: I'm watching it now. Tom Cruise is considered old, and

569
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:53,440
Speaker 1: I'm like, holy smoke, I know he looks the exact same.

570
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:56,159
Speaker 1: Not to like go, you know, movie analyst here, but

571
00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:58,159
Speaker 1: there was a lot of symmetry that they were all

572
00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:02,720
Speaker 1: the maintainers in the very well second version. I don't

573
00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:04,600
Speaker 1: want to like spoil marks thunder here. I haven't seen

574
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 1: it yet. Somehow I have not seen it. I don't know.

575
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:10,560
Speaker 1: The guy Drew Dorty said that it is the best

576
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:13,720
Speaker 1: blockbuster hit ever. I don't know if I go that far,

577
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:17,680
Speaker 1: but I enjoyed it. I can't believe I'm admitting I

578
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:19,800
Speaker 1: one and saw a movie, but I did so. Nick

579
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:22,840
Speaker 1: Cassario Movie Review and Team Review. Nick, thanks a lot

580
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:26,200
Speaker 1: for joining us. Thanks guys, appreciate it. Yes, general managers

581
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:29,440
Speaker 1: are people too, and they can go to movies, including

582
00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:34,160
Speaker 1: Nick Cassario. Now, like I said, it's a blockbuster type

583
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:37,080
Speaker 1: of night. So when you have Nick Cassarrio, you just

584
00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:40,399
Speaker 1: follow it up with head coach Lovey Smith. We had

585
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:43,440
Speaker 1: the opportunity to do that a couple of weeks ago.

586
00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:45,399
Speaker 1: So let's hear from the head coach next right here.

587
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:53,280
Speaker 1: I'm just li fourth the nition of Texas All Access Happage,

00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:06,320
Speaker 1: tonight won't set off the four legged creatures in your house.

591
00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:08,040
Speaker 1: I know they probably will a little bit in here,

592
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:10,199
Speaker 1: but my son and I will be here hanging with

Speaker 1: wherever you might be. But I'm glad you're with me tonight.

595
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:22,439
Speaker 1: John Harris Football and a sideline reporter And about a

596
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:27,000
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago, right after minicamp was over and

597
00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:29,359
Speaker 1: it was time for the break, Mark Vannimy and I

598
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:32,280
Speaker 1: had an opportunity to catch up with the head coach

599
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:38,680
Speaker 1: of your Houston Texans, Lovey Smith, And like with Nick,

600
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:42,400
Speaker 1: we just tossed an eighty mile an hour fastball right

601
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:46,320
Speaker 1: over the plate and asked him how was the off season?

602
00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:49,399
Speaker 1: But great really from start to finish. You know, first

603
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:51,840
Speaker 1: we asked the guys to you know, a long time ago,

604
00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:53,720
Speaker 1: to show up every day and let us coach you.

605
00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:56,240
Speaker 1: And we had a lot of things to get downe

606
00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:58,520
Speaker 1: fail like we did that. It all comes down, of

607
00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:04,280
Speaker 1: course to that final practice and one last look. You know,

608
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:06,560
Speaker 1: as a coach, you know you want to want to

609
00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:09,080
Speaker 1: be injury free. Yeah, so we got a lot of

610
00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:12,000
Speaker 1: things that compass throughout and of course today we finished

611
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 1: it up the right way. Coach, getting back to I

612
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:17,160
Speaker 1: don't know if we'll ever get back to normal after

613
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 1: the pandemic, but it felt a lot normal because it

614
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:22,000
Speaker 1: didn't have to be all zoom. You could go out

615
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:24,040
Speaker 1: there and say, hey, this is how you do it,

616
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:26,520
Speaker 1: and show the players and show the young guys how

617
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:29,400
Speaker 1: you do it. How important was it to be hands on?

618
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:32,080
Speaker 1: Yet again, it was very important. It was good to

619
00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:36,359
Speaker 1: get back to normal. I don't think we we didn't.

620
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:41,960
Speaker 1: We didn't have a zoom meeting this entire offseason. So

621
00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:45,119
Speaker 1: to get back to that. I think it's important too

622
00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:48,120
Speaker 1: to look at a you know, player and I and

623
00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:50,440
Speaker 1: as you mentioned, to get hands on him to show

624
00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:54,120
Speaker 1: him exactly how to do it. There were no restrictions

625
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:58,600
Speaker 1: on us, and we had so many players that came

626
00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:01,479
Speaker 1: the entire time. I think we as it ends up,

627
00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:05,199
Speaker 1: about thirty nine opportunities. We had to get better this

628
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:07,920
Speaker 1: this all season and uh, that kind of shows a

629
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:11,520
Speaker 1: commitment that the players have. Well last year, you couldn't

630
00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:14,800
Speaker 1: have any real contact like full eleven on eleven offense

631
00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:17,639
Speaker 1: versus defense. Right, How strange was that? And how helpful

632
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:19,880
Speaker 1: is this especially for the young players who are trying

633
00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:22,480
Speaker 1: to develop these guys. It's a it's it's it's very

634
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:26,760
Speaker 1: important too. Um. You know, it's one thing, you know,

635
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:29,040
Speaker 1: with the drills and all of that, and that's that's

636
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:31,720
Speaker 1: really important. And of course none of all season is

637
00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:34,679
Speaker 1: in pads, but there's so many other things that you

638
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:39,400
Speaker 1: can get done just lining up eleven on eleven and

639
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:43,200
Speaker 1: teaching the guys of course all of the drills. And

640
00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:45,439
Speaker 1: it's been fun watching the new players. You know, our

641
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:48,800
Speaker 1: rookies come in and now you know, you can't forget

642
00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:50,840
Speaker 1: that they're rookies a little bit. Now they're they're just

643
00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:54,240
Speaker 1: blending in with the rest of the guys and we're

644
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:57,320
Speaker 1: seeing how they're gonna fit into the plans also, and

645
00:27:57,440 --> 00:27:59,480
Speaker 1: once you get to this mini camp or just the

646
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:02,560
Speaker 1: only thing that's actually mandatory, so we have our entire

647
00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:06,080
Speaker 1: football team here and that's of course, you know, good

648
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:09,200
Speaker 1: feeling as a coach. Coach. A few guys that got

649
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:13,320
Speaker 1: brought in after the draft, Mario Addison, Jerry Hughes. Not

650
00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:16,480
Speaker 1: not just those guys, but I use those guys as

651
00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:20,240
Speaker 1: an example because they're seasoned. Who won't call them older

652
00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:23,000
Speaker 1: season they've been around. But how valuable are they to

653
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:26,880
Speaker 1: you in the coaching staff because they are leaders, they

654
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:29,320
Speaker 1: are instructors. You're watching with some of the young guys,

655
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:30,960
Speaker 1: and I've watched, you know, John Grenard go over and

656
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:33,480
Speaker 1: talk with Jerry and Mario. How important are they to

657
00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:36,320
Speaker 1: you from that aspect? Yeah, they ain't gonna play, but

658
00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:39,440
Speaker 1: they can also deliver the message as the coaching staff

659
00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:40,880
Speaker 1: is trying to give it to them as well, kind

660
00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:42,560
Speaker 1: of be another voice for you in the locker room.

661
00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:44,640
Speaker 1: How important is that to use the coaching staff? It's uh.

662
00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:48,360
Speaker 1: I think it's critical that you have a certain amount

663
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:50,800
Speaker 1: of veterans on your football team. And I'm talking about

664
00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:54,880
Speaker 1: veterans that's done it a certain way, you know, been

665
00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:57,920
Speaker 1: true pros throughout. We just finished it with our last

666
00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:00,440
Speaker 1: defensive meeting today and that's one of the things I

667
00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:03,000
Speaker 1: talked about on you know what some of the young

668
00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:06,200
Speaker 1: players can do just you know, spend a little time

669
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:09,560
Speaker 1: with Jerry Hughes, I mean Jerry Hughes, Mario Addison. I

670
00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:12,240
Speaker 1: think it's thirteen and twelve years they've been playing in

671
00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:15,520
Speaker 1: the league at a high level. I mean it would help,

672
00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:18,600
Speaker 1: It would benefit a young player to see exactly how

673
00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:22,160
Speaker 1: they prepare for a season, see what they do. You know,

674
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:24,560
Speaker 1: we as coaches are telling what to do doing this break,

675
00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:28,479
Speaker 1: but exactly how guys that have played again played at

676
00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:31,480
Speaker 1: a high level, how they do. It has been great

677
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:35,240
Speaker 1: the players coming in. You mentioned Jerry Hughes. I mean

678
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:37,400
Speaker 1: he got here a little bit later in the offseason

679
00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:40,440
Speaker 1: doing the off season program, but jump right in and

680
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:45,440
Speaker 1: it's amazing how people will gravitate to certain players. So

681
00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:47,640
Speaker 1: he stepped in that role right away. And we have

682
00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:49,840
Speaker 1: a lot of that on the on the offensive side

683
00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:53,080
Speaker 1: of the football too, So you want a little bit

684
00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:55,160
Speaker 1: of old and of course a lot of the young

685
00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:58,720
Speaker 1: players coach. As a head coach, how difficult is it

686
00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:02,240
Speaker 1: to watch the players and mark their development, yet also

687
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:05,760
Speaker 1: keeping on your assistance and how they are coaching, because

688
00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:07,720
Speaker 1: I gotta imagine that's a big part of the job

689
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:10,200
Speaker 1: coaching the coaches. We've discussed that kind of thing before,

690
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:12,480
Speaker 1: but so much goes into it, from you down to

691
00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:15,240
Speaker 1: the players performance. Yeah, it does. A lot does go

692
00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:17,920
Speaker 1: in with the coaches. But keep in mind, we've spent

693
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:21,640
Speaker 1: a lot of time together, okay, and let the found part.

694
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:23,120
Speaker 1: I mean, we've been on the field, we've been to

695
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:25,960
Speaker 1: walk through the sales, so we pretty much know how

696
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:28,640
Speaker 1: we're gonna you know, we go out on the football field.

697
00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:30,160
Speaker 1: You know, of course, coaches have to be on the

698
00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:33,000
Speaker 1: same page, and we are that way. But it's still

699
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:36,160
Speaker 1: good to see, you know, a new group of guys

700
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:38,800
Speaker 1: coming in and see how they're reacting, how they're responding

701
00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:42,000
Speaker 1: to our coaching. And I love what we're able to do.

702
00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:46,920
Speaker 1: Of course, Peth Hamilton leading an offensive group, you know,

703
00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:50,640
Speaker 1: Frank Ross leading of course, our special teams, and I've

704
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:54,320
Speaker 1: seen the guys just get better and better. It matters

705
00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:56,320
Speaker 1: when you stay here in the offseason, you keep putting

706
00:30:56,360 --> 00:31:01,840
Speaker 1: in that work, and so today is the final product

707
00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:04,200
Speaker 1: a little bit. And I just like where we're We

708
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:06,000
Speaker 1: have a long way to go. We're not put you know,

709
00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:09,240
Speaker 1: game ready yet, but we're a lot closer. You mentioned

710
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:11,120
Speaker 1: last year when we get it, didn't get a chance

711
00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:14,000
Speaker 1: to even line up and do any of these things.

712
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:18,600
Speaker 1: And that's why, you know, of course, there's a buzz

713
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:22,160
Speaker 1: going around along around here, and I think has warrant

714
00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:24,480
Speaker 1: You talked about taking the coaches out. I would come

715
00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:26,480
Speaker 1: down the hallway in February, I'd becoming a work and

716
00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:29,600
Speaker 1: i would see this throng of people. I'm like, hey's coaching,

717
00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:31,800
Speaker 1: there's coach, and there's coach y'all going out to the

718
00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:34,200
Speaker 1: practice field earlier in the morning, going to get it done.

719
00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:36,880
Speaker 1: And one of the guys that is hugely important to

720
00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:39,280
Speaker 1: all of that the guy you coach at quarterback and

721
00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:42,840
Speaker 1: Davis Mills and I know you know Kyle and Kevin

722
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:45,360
Speaker 1: and Jeff did a nice job, but Davis is the

723
00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:47,680
Speaker 1: one A lot of people focus on coach. What'd you

724
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:51,920
Speaker 1: see from Davis this time around or the offseason after

725
00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:54,560
Speaker 1: playing as a rookie? Worked out like you said, and

726
00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:56,760
Speaker 1: that was a big deal. He mentioned it too, being

727
00:31:56,800 --> 00:32:00,760
Speaker 1: here for the offseason before the program start. What did

728
00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:02,840
Speaker 1: you see from him during that period during oath teas

729
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:07,160
Speaker 1: in mini camps. We saw growth throughout. He's one of

730
00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:10,360
Speaker 1: the players that every day the building has opened, he's

731
00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:13,480
Speaker 1: been here. There's a lot that goes into them and

732
00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:17,000
Speaker 1: for him to move into that role quarterbacks is going

733
00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:19,160
Speaker 1: to be one of your leaders on every football team

734
00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:22,760
Speaker 1: and guys have gotten a chance to see him, and

735
00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:25,200
Speaker 1: I've seen him, you know, last year and then here him.

736
00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:28,400
Speaker 1: You know, he wasn't leading an awful lot, you know,

737
00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:33,320
Speaker 1: but now his voice when he speaks, we all listening to,

738
00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:36,560
Speaker 1: the team listens. And for him though, to just go

739
00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:40,400
Speaker 1: through each day and get more and more confidence and

740
00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:42,720
Speaker 1: being able to work with the receivers, the tight ends,

741
00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:46,400
Speaker 1: the running backs, getting more and more control the offense daily,

742
00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:50,840
Speaker 1: finishing right up with a good two minute drill. Last

743
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:53,920
Speaker 1: thing we did today, well we noticed that, of course,

744
00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:57,120
Speaker 1: and the situational work in general. Coach red area two

745
00:32:57,160 --> 00:33:00,760
Speaker 1: minute drill clock situations. Can you discuss what goes into

746
00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:04,200
Speaker 1: deciding what you do in practice? And I gotta imagine

747
00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:05,880
Speaker 1: a training camp, you're gonna have even more of that,

748
00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:09,200
Speaker 1: more of that. Well, what goes into our our practice

749
00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:12,200
Speaker 1: practice in general, all the situations that come up in

750
00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:14,640
Speaker 1: a game, you know, the first couple of weeks, of course,

751
00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:17,360
Speaker 1: we concentrate a lot on first, second down, in and

752
00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:21,400
Speaker 1: third down. You mentioned red zone work. It's critical, it's important,

753
00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:24,440
Speaker 1: and we've done a lot of it, especially lately. And

754
00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:27,400
Speaker 1: but games, you know, if you look at games, I mean,

755
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:30,520
Speaker 1: it's how you handle situations at the end of the game,

756
00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:34,240
Speaker 1: end of the half, end of the game. And believe me,

757
00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:36,560
Speaker 1: no one will work on those more than we will.

758
00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:39,280
Speaker 1: And we got a chance to do a little bit

759
00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:43,200
Speaker 1: right now. But this is just you know, an interest

760
00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:47,560
Speaker 1: to training camp where we really get a chance. There's

761
00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:49,680
Speaker 1: so many other things that we're able to introduce to

762
00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:54,000
Speaker 1: our players. We will practice. All of our workouts that

763
00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:56,800
Speaker 1: we've done so far have been at am in the morning.

764
00:33:57,280 --> 00:33:59,600
Speaker 1: We'll continue to do that a training camp, which is

765
00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:03,040
Speaker 1: a little different than probably you know, past years. We'll

766
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:05,920
Speaker 1: practice every morning at eight am. And I think it's

767
00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:08,200
Speaker 1: good for young people to learn how to start the

768
00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:11,000
Speaker 1: day earlier, get up early in the morning, you know,

769
00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:13,680
Speaker 1: and get to work in and then have the rist

770
00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:16,239
Speaker 1: of the day of course, to see exactly what you're

771
00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:18,600
Speaker 1: able to do. There so many things we were able

772
00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:23,279
Speaker 1: to establish this offseason. We appreciate the eight am starts. Coach, Well, coach,

773
00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:25,280
Speaker 1: I am a little mad at you about this though,

774
00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:27,200
Speaker 1: and there's only one reason. I mean, I love you

775
00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:30,400
Speaker 1: to death, but we go on radio live at eight o'clock,

776
00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:32,800
Speaker 1: so I gotta be on radio and our practice is

777
00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:34,560
Speaker 1: going on. We'll give you a little break job. So

778
00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:36,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna have to take a little break.

779
00:34:36,040 --> 00:34:38,640
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do a drum solo. But coach marping up

780
00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:41,239
Speaker 1: something talking about situations, And I want to ask you

781
00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:44,799
Speaker 1: about that because it feels like as a coach, it's

782
00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:46,520
Speaker 1: the one thing as you're going kind of up the

783
00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:48,960
Speaker 1: ranks and you're becoming a position coach and then maybe

784
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:52,040
Speaker 1: even a coordinator, you're worried about the access nos teaching,

785
00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:55,200
Speaker 1: the techniques and all those things. When for you, did

786
00:34:55,239 --> 00:34:57,960
Speaker 1: it really become well, I gotta learn how to manage

787
00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:00,799
Speaker 1: the game and manage the clock. It really when you

788
00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:02,759
Speaker 1: became a head coach or did you start working on

789
00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:05,200
Speaker 1: those things when you were a coordinator. No, long before

790
00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:08,080
Speaker 1: you become a head football coach. These situations come up

791
00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:11,160
Speaker 1: when you get into football, Like, we're gonna expect our

792
00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:14,279
Speaker 1: football team if you're out on the football field, we're

793
00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:17,040
Speaker 1: gonna expect our guys to know how to handle those situations.

794
00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:20,120
Speaker 1: So I think they start then, and so we're asking

795
00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:22,840
Speaker 1: our football players. Every position coach needs to kind of

796
00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:25,080
Speaker 1: know we have a game plan about everything, and we're

797
00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:28,000
Speaker 1: gonna talk about them in meetings. And then of course

798
00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:29,800
Speaker 1: go out on the football field and put the players

799
00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:32,759
Speaker 1: and let them actually do it. But that's what it's

800
00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:36,720
Speaker 1: all about, and it's just not into the game situations.

801
00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:41,040
Speaker 1: It's uh, you know, just third downs or second and

802
00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:45,200
Speaker 1: long second and short on just tendencies that teams do,

803
00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:48,920
Speaker 1: just what people do in certain situations. And I know,

804
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:52,600
Speaker 1: as you just watch games, seem like more teams lose

805
00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:55,880
Speaker 1: games each week than actually doing an awful lot to

806
00:35:55,920 --> 00:35:58,320
Speaker 1: win them. What about the offensive line? We talked to

807
00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:00,640
Speaker 1: you a few weeks ago about the prod Grass. Now

808
00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:02,839
Speaker 1: that the mini camp is in the books. What did

809
00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:05,080
Speaker 1: you make of how things went up front? A lot

810
00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:07,719
Speaker 1: of Mixican matching up there. He had Laramie back for camp,

811
00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:10,160
Speaker 1: that was nice. What about the old line, Well, we

812
00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:13,239
Speaker 1: like we did. We looked at a lot of different combinations,

813
00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:15,920
Speaker 1: which is good, which we've planned to do and in

814
00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:18,480
Speaker 1: all season that's what you want to do. Also, you know,

815
00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:21,080
Speaker 1: offensive defense, special teams. We're going to look at new

816
00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:24,359
Speaker 1: things we may want to do, but then looking at

817
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:27,960
Speaker 1: players in different positions and a little you know, Laramie

818
00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:31,879
Speaker 1: Tonsil wasn't around a few few days, so that allowed us.

819
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:34,720
Speaker 1: But to me, when when one of your your star

820
00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:38,520
Speaker 1: players isn't around. That's what happens during a season. Injuries

821
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:40,239
Speaker 1: come up. You had to have a plan for all

822
00:36:40,280 --> 00:36:43,040
Speaker 1: different things. So we're able to look at the players

823
00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:45,640
Speaker 1: in a lot of different position justin Bread of course,

824
00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:48,160
Speaker 1: didn't do an awful lot the last couple of days

825
00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:50,840
Speaker 1: to see what that plan would be. But what we

826
00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:53,280
Speaker 1: want to do. You know, we're gonna address eight offensive linement,

827
00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:55,239
Speaker 1: so we need some of the guys need to have

828
00:36:55,280 --> 00:36:59,960
Speaker 1: flexibility on what they can do. Coach Warhop, of course,

829
00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:02,640
Speaker 1: coach Honner both did a great job coaching the players,

830
00:37:02,640 --> 00:37:06,080
Speaker 1: and we'll be ready. Coach. Seventeen defensive linemen are on

831
00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:07,920
Speaker 1: this roster. I don't know if you got any more

832
00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:11,920
Speaker 1: stashed like in the woodworks, you know, somewhere. But obviously

833
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:14,160
Speaker 1: running a four man front is as we've talked a

834
00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:16,480
Speaker 1: lot about, you've got to have some guys up front,

835
00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:19,760
Speaker 1: even though you didn't hit, and you can't be totally

836
00:37:20,160 --> 00:37:23,759
Speaker 1: you know, you can't be collisioning people. The growth of

837
00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:25,600
Speaker 1: that group up front, What did you think about that

838
00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:27,800
Speaker 1: in the spring? Like what they are able to do? Also,

839
00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:31,640
Speaker 1: and you can never have too many good defensive linemen.

840
00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:34,399
Speaker 1: Of course, we're a foeman, as you mentioned, a four

841
00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:37,600
Speaker 1: man front. We'll address at least eight, so guys know

842
00:37:37,719 --> 00:37:40,239
Speaker 1: that they're gonna play an awful lot. But even though

843
00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:43,280
Speaker 1: you can't you know, hit tackle and go full speed,

844
00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:46,640
Speaker 1: there's so much good drill work that you can get done.

845
00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:49,160
Speaker 1: And that's where we're able to do. There would be

846
00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:52,279
Speaker 1: great competition. You know. We we talked about some of

847
00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:55,600
Speaker 1: our you know, Mario Addison of course, Jerry Hughes adding

848
00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:58,000
Speaker 1: some you know, some of the players that have been

849
00:37:58,040 --> 00:38:00,839
Speaker 1: stars in the league. But we have a good group

850
00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:04,200
Speaker 1: of young players and to watch their development. You know

851
00:38:04,520 --> 00:38:08,600
Speaker 1: Roy Lopez being a rookie last year playing Malie Collins

852
00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:12,400
Speaker 1: of course, second year with us rol's Blacklock. We have

853
00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:17,040
Speaker 1: so many players like that Set Green. I mean you

854
00:38:17,080 --> 00:38:21,480
Speaker 1: look at what he was able to do. Jonathan Bernard

855
00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:24,440
Speaker 1: of course, is coming off an injury even though he

856
00:38:24,480 --> 00:38:27,080
Speaker 1: wasn't doing an awful lot of physical stuff. Just him

857
00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:32,080
Speaker 1: getting into football, seeing him coach the players, and he

858
00:38:32,120 --> 00:38:35,040
Speaker 1: will take another big step this year too. Coach, how

859
00:38:35,080 --> 00:38:37,400
Speaker 1: do you handle where the rookies go group wise? And

860
00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:39,560
Speaker 1: I know the depth chart is very fluid this time

861
00:38:39,560 --> 00:38:42,440
Speaker 1: of year, Like we were discussing and I got to

862
00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:45,160
Speaker 1: think that it almost doesn't matter because you're out there

863
00:38:45,160 --> 00:38:46,760
Speaker 1: with players and you can get better at your craft

864
00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:49,080
Speaker 1: no matter what level you're playing at. And I hate

865
00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:50,680
Speaker 1: to call it a level, but how do you handle

866
00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:54,360
Speaker 1: assigning that? Well? For you know, depth chart in general,

867
00:38:54,520 --> 00:38:58,479
Speaker 1: we don't name starters really in the all season, and

868
00:38:58,840 --> 00:39:01,600
Speaker 1: as much as anything, we just want guys to get reps.

869
00:39:01,800 --> 00:39:03,880
Speaker 1: We will do a lot of different combination. We have

870
00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:06,799
Speaker 1: a rep count, We keep track of hominy reps each

871
00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:10,439
Speaker 1: players getting. So that's all we're promising guys. We will

872
00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:12,239
Speaker 1: put you on the football field to give you an

873
00:39:12,239 --> 00:39:16,640
Speaker 1: opportunity to show us exactly who you are and all

874
00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:18,239
Speaker 1: of our players that have been here of a guy

875
00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:20,279
Speaker 1: and a chance to do that. So it's more that

876
00:39:20,360 --> 00:39:22,680
Speaker 1: as opposed to you know what team you're working with

877
00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:25,680
Speaker 1: right now, all of you want to see them in

878
00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:27,640
Speaker 1: a lot of different situations. We're able to do that

879
00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:31,800
Speaker 1: coach for a lot of people when they get this break,

880
00:39:32,360 --> 00:39:35,440
Speaker 1: everybody's like, well I'm gonna I'm gonna go home. A

881
00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:36,759
Speaker 1: lot of guys from all over the place. And I

882
00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:39,000
Speaker 1: would imagine when you coach in other places you come

883
00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:41,279
Speaker 1: home to Texas. But now you're home in Texas, So

884
00:39:41,320 --> 00:39:43,600
Speaker 1: what's your plan for the break? You can just stay home,

885
00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:45,200
Speaker 1: You're gonna get away. What's the plan for the break

886
00:39:45,239 --> 00:39:49,160
Speaker 1: for you? Well, I think it is important doing this break.

887
00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:51,279
Speaker 1: Just keep in mind some of the you know, some

888
00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:53,319
Speaker 1: of us have been here an entire time. So what

889
00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:55,719
Speaker 1: we do. I think it's important for you to get away.

890
00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:57,719
Speaker 1: We're getting ready for a long stretch. You know, I'm

891
00:39:57,719 --> 00:40:00,279
Speaker 1: gonna come back in July when we get started again.

892
00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:03,640
Speaker 1: So what do we do? I mean, I'm gonna you know,

893
00:40:03,719 --> 00:40:05,400
Speaker 1: we have Meran and I are getting ready to have

894
00:40:05,440 --> 00:40:07,520
Speaker 1: our tenth grandchild, so we're gonna do a lot of

895
00:40:08,360 --> 00:40:15,200
Speaker 1: grandchildren visits. Looking forward to that. Do you love soccer, flag, football,

896
00:40:15,680 --> 00:40:18,120
Speaker 1: all those different things? Looking forward to a lot of that.

897
00:40:18,200 --> 00:40:20,960
Speaker 1: But I like the players. I'm going to get away

898
00:40:20,960 --> 00:40:23,240
Speaker 1: too and looking forward to it a couple more. For you.

899
00:40:23,239 --> 00:40:26,319
Speaker 1: You open up against the Colts, how much I hate

900
00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:28,719
Speaker 1: took all a game planning, But how much planning do

901
00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:32,720
Speaker 1: you do for the opponents? Research on what they're doing

902
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:36,320
Speaker 1: this time of year or what you've already done, because

903
00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:38,359
Speaker 1: you can't wait till the week of I get that,

904
00:40:38,520 --> 00:40:40,920
Speaker 1: But how's that handled with you and Nick or however

905
00:40:40,960 --> 00:40:44,680
Speaker 1: has handled well. We keep track of what's happening, especially

906
00:40:44,760 --> 00:40:48,120
Speaker 1: in the AFC South, and of course, you know, opening

907
00:40:48,239 --> 00:40:52,000
Speaker 1: up with an AFC South opponent, but at the same

908
00:40:52,040 --> 00:40:54,600
Speaker 1: time we know quite a bit. You know, of course

909
00:40:54,640 --> 00:40:58,880
Speaker 1: Tennessee and the Colts keeping the same staffs in place,

910
00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:03,520
Speaker 1: we're pretty familiar with them. But there's a lot that

911
00:41:03,560 --> 00:41:07,160
Speaker 1: goes in long before you know, we get the preseason

912
00:41:07,200 --> 00:41:09,759
Speaker 1: games and the regulars season. We're always kind of paying
