I don't even know what day we're on anymore, 0:00:42.000 --> 0:00:45.600 so I apologize dye eleven. All right, Cool, we're definitely 0:00:45.640 --> 0:00:47.280 in our second week, that's for sure, because I've lost 0:00:47.320 --> 0:00:47.960 count of the days. 0:00:48.080 --> 0:00:49.000 We welcome you, and I'm. 0:00:48.880 --> 0:00:52.040 Kay Nannie, Stevens, John and Brian. 0:00:51.760 --> 0:00:52.120 Are with me. 0:00:52.240 --> 0:00:54.920 You just realize you're actually in your own reality show. 0:00:55.520 --> 0:00:57.800 I mean this feels like one every single morning. It 0:00:57.840 --> 0:00:58.800 does feel that way to me. 0:00:59.360 --> 0:01:01.400 I think since the questions a layup. 0:01:01.760 --> 0:01:05.880 I think Cisco's watch the Dewey reality show twenty four 0:01:05.880 --> 0:01:07.280 to seven that skip work. 0:01:07.800 --> 0:01:10.080 I would be homeless. I think it's the same episode 0:01:10.200 --> 0:01:12.640 day after would you not watch? Would you not watch? 0:01:12.640 --> 0:01:12.959 Cisco? 0:01:13.000 --> 0:01:15.000 Though he does stand up comedy in his free time, 0:01:15.080 --> 0:01:17.280 he's taking a pickle ball for some reason. 0:01:17.400 --> 0:01:19.759 I no, No, he's He's definitely an interesting guy. 0:01:19.800 --> 0:01:21.720 I like there's the same position, so do he would 0:01:21.720 --> 0:01:22.399 probably have him on. 0:01:22.319 --> 0:01:25.320 As a guest a lot, so we could do the 0:01:25.360 --> 0:01:27.000 whole like that's chunk of the defense. 0:01:27.120 --> 0:01:29.520 You know what, I would the safety reality show give 0:01:29.560 --> 0:01:33.520 me Cooper Hodges, the rookie from Baker County. I hear 0:01:33.560 --> 0:01:35.760 he lives just like you go out his back door 0:01:35.840 --> 0:01:39.000 and you walk across the back space there because I 0:01:39.000 --> 0:01:43.319 don't think it's a lawn and into Georgia. And he's 0:01:43.760 --> 0:01:46.920 a fantastic interview and a great kid. And I hear 0:01:46.920 --> 0:01:49.160 he's got to rock his fun family, So I think 0:01:49.200 --> 0:01:50.640 he would. He would do good with one. 0:01:51.080 --> 0:01:52.960 We have to get we have to get him involved somehow. 0:01:53.000 --> 0:01:55.440 I love him. Tug Boat. I'm just a huge fan. 0:01:55.520 --> 0:01:57.520 Obviously that's his nickname. 0:01:57.600 --> 0:01:59.440 What tug boats? Hug Boats. 0:01:59.480 --> 0:02:00.240 I mean, that's not great. 0:02:00.360 --> 0:02:00.760 I love it. 0:02:00.760 --> 0:02:03.480 All right, let's quickly get into our big things for today. 0:02:03.600 --> 0:02:06.160 So our first big thing one I mentioned a little bit, 0:02:06.200 --> 0:02:08.960 no thanks. Trevor came out and answered the questions people 0:02:09.000 --> 0:02:11.040 were speculating whether he was going to be involved in 0:02:11.080 --> 0:02:14.960 the second season of the Netflix show. Quarterback Patrick Mahomes 0:02:14.960 --> 0:02:17.840 was on it last season with Kirk Cousins and Marcus Mariota, 0:02:18.120 --> 0:02:20.119 and this is what Trevor had to say when asked yesterday. 0:02:21.160 --> 0:02:23.320 Yeah, I was I was approached. You know, I didn't 0:02:23.760 --> 0:02:26.600 decided to not do it this year, but you know, 0:02:26.639 --> 0:02:28.880 that was just something where I feel like, just not 0:02:28.919 --> 0:02:31.320 the right time for me. Who knows, maybe in the future, 0:02:31.360 --> 0:02:33.200 but you know, I think it's a really I watched 0:02:33.200 --> 0:02:34.799 the show though the show was great. I think they 0:02:34.800 --> 0:02:37.920 did a great job. So but yeah, that's pretty much it. 0:02:37.919 --> 0:02:42.600 There very polite way of answering that question from Trevor saying, 0:02:42.639 --> 0:02:46.680 you know, maybe some point, but not right now. And 0:02:46.800 --> 0:02:48.200 I think a lot of it is him wanting to 0:02:48.200 --> 0:02:50.919 focus on the season, which is commendable. You want to 0:02:50.919 --> 0:02:52.000 hear that from your quarterback. 0:02:52.360 --> 0:02:54.000 I think part of it is why would you do it? 0:02:54.040 --> 0:02:56.560 I mean people do those crazy big brother you know, 0:02:56.600 --> 0:02:59.320 survivor things for money. Well, he's got the money and 0:02:59.360 --> 0:03:01.360 he's going to get money, so why do you need 0:03:01.400 --> 0:03:03.320 to let the cameras in when you've already got the money. 0:03:03.560 --> 0:03:06.000 Well, I think too, it sounded to me like he 0:03:06.000 --> 0:03:09.040 thinks it could be something that would be interesting to 0:03:09.040 --> 0:03:12.320 do down the road. And I know Mahomes did it, 0:03:12.880 --> 0:03:16.040 but Mahomes has been in the same system and living 0:03:16.160 --> 0:03:20.200 his same life, so to speak, since twenty eighteen, so 0:03:20.240 --> 0:03:22.639 he's got five years where he doesn't worry about the routine. 0:03:23.040 --> 0:03:27.680 They're still getting sort of everything down here. I could 0:03:27.720 --> 0:03:31.240 see him thinking it would be fun to do in 0:03:31.280 --> 0:03:33.560 a year or two, once he knows exactly what his 0:03:33.639 --> 0:03:34.480 routine is every year. 0:03:34.840 --> 0:03:36.960 And obviously, Patrick Mahomes already won a Super Bowl. There's 0:03:36.960 --> 0:03:39.320 a little less pressure if you want to follow him around. 0:03:39.360 --> 0:03:41.840 I would imagine so obviously, and I think a little bit. 0:03:41.840 --> 0:03:43.560 I don't know if you guys have watched the series. 0:03:43.760 --> 0:03:46.960 Marcus Mariota didn't come off great after it, so yes, 0:03:47.160 --> 0:03:50.400 Kirk Cousins and Pat Mahomes look great, but you could 0:03:50.400 --> 0:03:52.160 get the other end of the spectrum too, And there's 0:03:52.200 --> 0:03:54.520 always that risk when you're kind of behind the scenes 0:03:54.520 --> 0:03:55.720 e with it a little bit. 0:03:56.480 --> 0:03:57.960 No, I just you want to go. 0:03:57.920 --> 0:03:59.560 For it, Well, no, I give me the money, right, 0:03:59.600 --> 0:04:01.160 I've already got the money, so I don't need to 0:04:01.240 --> 0:04:03.320 let you in to pay me more. I would rather 0:04:03.360 --> 0:04:06.520 have my privacy and my money than live my life 0:04:06.640 --> 0:04:08.960 on a I mean, let's be honest. Every single person 0:04:09.040 --> 0:04:11.400 who's watching this right now has something they don't need 0:04:11.440 --> 0:04:12.160 people to see. 0:04:12.480 --> 0:04:15.000 Yep, that's true. Keep your private life private. 0:04:15.040 --> 0:04:16.640 That's what he's gonna do for now, so he won't 0:04:16.680 --> 0:04:18.760 be on the second season. We now know that our 0:04:18.760 --> 0:04:21.440 second big thing today is playing it safe. I'm going 0:04:21.480 --> 0:04:23.000 to take a little contrary in view from you guys, 0:04:23.040 --> 0:04:24.000 because I know how you kind. 0:04:23.839 --> 0:04:24.359 Of feel about it. 0:04:24.400 --> 0:04:28.240 Tyson Campbell obviously suffered a concussion the other day, and 0:04:28.520 --> 0:04:30.680 not that that was complete freak injury obviously him just 0:04:30.720 --> 0:04:33.120 falling down and kind of colliding with Kirk's knees at 0:04:33.120 --> 0:04:35.839 that point. But I at this point, I'm really like, 0:04:36.640 --> 0:04:39.039 let's kind of conserve what we have here. I think 0:04:39.080 --> 0:04:41.120 when you know what you have, it's a little less 0:04:41.120 --> 0:04:43.479 of trying to get them out there and playing. So 0:04:43.720 --> 0:04:46.279 when we talk about you know, going full speed and 0:04:46.279 --> 0:04:48.360 practice and getting that physicality, we saw it a little 0:04:48.400 --> 0:04:51.400 bit yesterday, But then I think, did you mention it? 0:04:51.440 --> 0:04:53.200 Doug kind of like pulled them in and it was 0:04:53.279 --> 0:04:55.120 kind of like trying to well. 0:04:54.960 --> 0:04:59.600 That's what Walker Little told Hey's Caroline from ten ten. 0:04:59.680 --> 0:05:03.039 He said after period or before period eight. 0:05:03.440 --> 0:05:05.279 He kind of brought him in. 0:05:05.360 --> 0:05:07.560 I don't think he liked a couple of the hits 0:05:08.279 --> 0:05:11.200 that happened early because it wasn't on the script for 0:05:11.240 --> 0:05:15.360 the day. So I my sense is that there will 0:05:15.360 --> 0:05:18.039 be some hitting today. It's a live day, so my 0:05:18.120 --> 0:05:20.960 sense is that'll be the only one of training camp 0:05:20.960 --> 0:05:23.360 because nothing else really fits unless they do some hitting 0:05:23.400 --> 0:05:25.360 with the Lions, which I'd be surprised by. 0:05:25.480 --> 0:05:27.360 So yeah, I mean. 0:05:29.279 --> 0:05:32.800 Everything in camp is done for a reason. There's a 0:05:32.839 --> 0:05:34.640 reason Doug wanted the hitting to be today if that's 0:05:34.680 --> 0:05:36.880 the day, So I don't think he loved that. 0:05:37.080 --> 0:05:41.279 And keep him safe, I agree, you say Contrarion. 0:05:40.880 --> 0:05:43.680 View, Well, I know you guys are old school, so 0:05:43.680 --> 0:05:45.280 you're the two a day kind of guys, and I'm 0:05:45.320 --> 0:05:47.800 just like, super, let's keep everybody well. 0:05:47.800 --> 0:05:51.520 It's worth noting that the mentality has changed, right. I 0:05:51.560 --> 0:05:54.160 Mean I had this conversation with someone in the practice 0:05:54.160 --> 0:05:57.719 field yesterday and it was how much do you want 0:05:57.720 --> 0:06:01.560 to see the starters play in the day when they 0:06:01.600 --> 0:06:03.719 practiced twice a day, you wanted to see the starters 0:06:03.720 --> 0:06:05.839 play a little bit in the first, more in the second, 0:06:05.839 --> 0:06:07.640 the most in the third, and then kind of peter 0:06:07.760 --> 0:06:09.240 them out in the fourth and they don't play in 0:06:09.240 --> 0:06:11.560 the fourth game. Well, now there's only three games, and 0:06:11.600 --> 0:06:14.120 it seems like you're gonna see maybe a smidge of 0:06:14.200 --> 0:06:17.240 the starters in game one, a little bit more too, 0:06:17.279 --> 0:06:20.240 and then nobody in game three. And if anybody's even 0:06:20.320 --> 0:06:22.800 nicked up, you don't practice them in August. Well, that 0:06:23.240 --> 0:06:25.920 just goes against what the game used to be keyword 0:06:26.000 --> 0:06:31.120 John being used to be. Now that's the way. Your way, right, 0:06:31.240 --> 0:06:32.320 is the way that it's done. 0:06:32.760 --> 0:06:38.760 The old man in me, which is me, it tells 0:06:38.800 --> 0:06:44.200 me that you know, yes, this this is not training 0:06:44.240 --> 0:06:48.440 camp anymore. These are pad at OTAs, which is fine. 0:06:48.480 --> 0:06:52.560 Couldn't agree more. It's you know, campus two days where 0:06:52.600 --> 0:06:53.839 you were just dragging by the end of the. 0:06:53.880 --> 0:06:56.640 Day all that. It shouldn't be that way anymore. 0:06:57.000 --> 0:07:01.839 The salary cap and the important of each key core 0:07:02.040 --> 0:07:05.280 player has made this different. In the nineties, it was 0:07:05.320 --> 0:07:07.920 a little bit this way, but it wasn't like now. 0:07:07.960 --> 0:07:10.280 Teams have six or seven guys. If you lose two 0:07:10.320 --> 0:07:13.160 of those six or seven core guys, your season is 0:07:13.160 --> 0:07:14.800 over and as a coach, you're probably getting fired at 0:07:14.840 --> 0:07:17.560 the end of the year because the owners going, why 0:07:17.560 --> 0:07:19.040 did I pay all this to lose these guys in 0:07:19.040 --> 0:07:21.360 training camp? You should manage this better. So I get 0:07:21.360 --> 0:07:24.040 why they don't do it. And I think dougall hit today. 0:07:24.160 --> 0:07:26.440 I think he believes I've got to take a little 0:07:26.440 --> 0:07:28.560 and hits to the ground today. Right, he did that 0:07:28.640 --> 0:07:31.679 last year once, right, that's today. I think he believes 0:07:31.720 --> 0:07:35.120 there is a calculated risk needed to get ready, and 0:07:35.160 --> 0:07:38.160 then you you mediate that risk by having it being 0:07:38.320 --> 0:07:40.840 very short in a very controlled situation. But it just 0:07:40.840 --> 0:07:42.480 can't hit constantly in training. 0:07:42.240 --> 0:07:42.960 Can No, you can't. 0:07:43.160 --> 0:07:44.840 And I'm not suggesting you go back to two a 0:07:44.920 --> 0:07:46.640 days where you do hit like that. That doesn't make 0:07:46.680 --> 0:07:49.600 any sense, especially when you're adding games to the schedule. 0:07:49.840 --> 0:07:51.480 You know, these guys you got to manage your body 0:07:51.520 --> 0:07:54.480 now over eighteen weeks, so you've got to make sure 0:07:54.480 --> 0:07:57.240 that you're in shape to do that. But when well, 0:07:57.280 --> 0:07:59.360 it's like the question that I asked Doug last week. 0:07:59.400 --> 0:08:01.120 You know, you saw Joe Burrow go down with the 0:08:01.200 --> 0:08:05.360 calf strain. Okay, and you saw who was it in Miami? 0:08:05.360 --> 0:08:07.440 No Jaalen Ramsey. You know, not really even in a 0:08:07.480 --> 0:08:10.960 contact drill, just negos, right, they're not even the pads. 0:08:11.280 --> 0:08:11.880 It happens. 0:08:12.160 --> 0:08:15.800 And so Doug said, you can't pull back entirely. You 0:08:15.840 --> 0:08:19.360 can't just react to every injury that happens, and that's 0:08:19.400 --> 0:08:20.560 the part of it where you kind of have to 0:08:20.560 --> 0:08:22.880 stay true to that. I got to get some contact. 0:08:22.880 --> 0:08:25.360 I got to get some hitting in because otherwise it's 0:08:25.400 --> 0:08:28.360 October before my guys are used to the contact. 0:08:28.440 --> 0:08:30.280 You have to have your plan and you have to 0:08:30.280 --> 0:08:33.720 stick to it, except that sometimes there's gonna be risks, 0:08:34.080 --> 0:08:35.760 it's gonna be injuries, but you have to trust that 0:08:35.800 --> 0:08:37.000 you're playing will work over the long term. 0:08:37.080 --> 0:08:40.000 Nante Fowler Junior, first day of rookie minute camp wearing 0:08:40.120 --> 0:08:43.480 not even a helmet. Tear's his acl Those things happen. 0:08:43.640 --> 0:08:45.959 Can't prevent those things going into our final big thing 0:08:46.040 --> 0:08:48.240 game day. We have a game this week, They're playing 0:08:48.240 --> 0:08:51.560 the Cowboys on Saturday, and we did talking about that. 0:08:51.600 --> 0:08:53.280 How much are we going to see the starters? Trevor 0:08:53.400 --> 0:08:56.320 was asked how much time he feels he needs to play, 0:08:56.400 --> 0:08:58.920 If he needs to play in the preseason, I'd be 0:08:58.960 --> 0:08:59.800 surprised if you see. 0:09:00.200 --> 0:09:01.959 To get some reps, and especially you got a few 0:09:02.000 --> 0:09:05.040 new pieces, get some get some live game reps where 0:09:05.240 --> 0:09:07.560 it is full speed, it's full contact. You know there's 0:09:07.559 --> 0:09:10.240 something on the line. You know I think that's definitely valuable. 0:09:10.400 --> 0:09:11.960 You know who knows how much that will be. Whatever 0:09:12.000 --> 0:09:14.680 it'll whatever it is, I'll be ready. And uh, you 0:09:14.720 --> 0:09:16.199 just want to be clean. You want to execute, you 0:09:16.240 --> 0:09:18.920 want your offense to look sharp, you want to you 0:09:18.920 --> 0:09:20.440 want to make the plays, you want to be smart, 0:09:20.480 --> 0:09:22.520 do all that stuff, and just be clean. I think 0:09:22.600 --> 0:09:24.199 that's the main objective. 0:09:24.720 --> 0:09:25.960 John, to let you get to it. I don't think 0:09:26.000 --> 0:09:27.160 we see Trevor this week at all. 0:09:27.800 --> 0:09:30.439 Well, after I said that, maybe a series. 0:09:30.960 --> 0:09:33.120 We talked about this in the practice field yesterday. The 0:09:33.400 --> 0:09:35.360 first preseason game was the Raiders. Last year, he didn't 0:09:35.360 --> 0:09:38.719 play at all, but the second yeah right, yeah, but 0:09:39.360 --> 0:09:41.640 this week, right, which was game two for them but 0:09:41.720 --> 0:09:44.280 Game one for everyone else, he had twelve pass attempts. 0:09:44.360 --> 0:09:44.560 Yeah. 0:09:44.559 --> 0:09:45.120 I could see that. 0:09:45.640 --> 0:09:49.839 Yeah, I mean I I could see that. I could 0:09:49.880 --> 0:09:53.320 see into the second quarter next week and then nothing 0:09:53.480 --> 0:09:54.400 in the last right. 0:09:54.360 --> 0:09:56.199 Which gives you a couple of extra weeks because remember 0:09:56.200 --> 0:09:59.160 now with the three games, you have that week between 0:09:59.440 --> 0:10:02.240 the and the regular season, so you've got two weeks 0:10:02.280 --> 0:10:04.160 at that point to get ready. So he'd have a 0:10:04.240 --> 0:10:06.079 chance to be sitting for three weeks. 0:10:06.679 --> 0:10:06.880 Now. 0:10:06.920 --> 0:10:09.400 Someone would argue that three weeks. If not playing is 0:10:10.080 --> 0:10:13.400 you're practicing, you're getting some time in. I'll offer this 0:10:13.440 --> 0:10:16.679 counter two next week when we go to Detroit, they 0:10:16.720 --> 0:10:21.200 have those two days of practicing against the Lions, and 0:10:21.240 --> 0:10:23.800 I can remember in twenty nineteen when we went to Baltimore, 0:10:24.640 --> 0:10:27.880 Doug Maron talking about how valuable that time was and 0:10:28.240 --> 0:10:32.040 almost is valuable, if not more than the actual game reps, 0:10:32.840 --> 0:10:36.200 was his response. So expect next week, despite what we 0:10:36.240 --> 0:10:38.679 see this week in Dallas, expect to see a lot 0:10:38.720 --> 0:10:42.440 of matchups where they get players on players, specific players 0:10:42.440 --> 0:10:45.000 on specific players to try to get the most out 0:10:45.000 --> 0:10:46.400 of those practice sessions as they can. 0:10:46.640 --> 0:10:49.079 Joint practice can be super helpful for both teams, I think, 0:10:49.080 --> 0:10:51.760 to finally get some action against you know, you're not 0:10:51.760 --> 0:10:53.680 playing yourselves right, so that always helps and gets the 0:10:53.679 --> 0:10:55.880 competition level up a little bit. All right, Coming up, 0:10:55.880 --> 0:10:57.400 we're going to go to coach's corner hear what they 0:10:57.440 --> 0:10:59.120 have to say about what they've been seeing so far 0:10:59.160 --> 0:11:01.080 in training camp and who been standing out. Stay with 0:11:01.160 --> 0:11:15.120 us now, welcome back to this Monday edition of jags 0:11:15.200 --> 0:11:17.520 Am presented by Carshield.

Call car shield Now. 0:11:24.920 --> 0:11:25.439 Welcome back. 0:11:25.480 --> 0:11:28.839 We're here in Hyundai Podcast Studios, training camps, getting going, 0:11:28.880 --> 0:11:32.000 players out there stretching. Another day out in the sun 0:11:32.080 --> 0:11:33.880 and a live hit day. As we mentioned, it's going 0:11:33.960 --> 0:11:36.360 to be very physical today, so we'll have a lot 0:11:36.400 --> 0:11:37.640 to talk about later. 0:11:37.440 --> 0:11:38.240 On in the week. 0:11:38.559 --> 0:11:40.160 The good thing about training camp is we get to 0:11:40.200 --> 0:11:42.319 see everything every single day. The coaches are talking every 0:11:42.320 --> 0:11:44.520 single day, so we get to kind of go through 0:11:44.520 --> 0:11:47.600 everything and hear their perspective of how the players are 0:11:47.600 --> 0:11:50.920 doing at training camp. So obviously Doug Peterson talks every 0:11:50.960 --> 0:11:54.520 couple of days and John you actually asked him specifically 0:11:54.559 --> 0:11:57.840 about Tank Bigsby's progression, and here's what he's. 0:11:57.679 --> 0:11:58.160 Had to say. 0:11:59.160 --> 0:12:02.120 This kid is outside of like the size of speed, 0:12:02.120 --> 0:12:04.040 I less of all that, but this kid is he's 0:12:04.040 --> 0:12:08.840 a sponge, you know, and he's really a smart, smart 0:12:08.880 --> 0:12:09.600 young running back. 0:12:09.679 --> 0:12:15.360 Understands defense, understands you know. One of the things, really too, 0:12:15.440 --> 0:12:18.800 that that's been impressive is how well he's taken the coaching, 0:12:18.840 --> 0:12:21.000 whether it be from Bernie or myself or even Phil 0:12:21.080 --> 0:12:24.520 you know, ralsher being able to take that and apply 0:12:24.640 --> 0:12:27.160 it to what he's doing. 0:12:26.960 --> 0:12:29.360 And he's he's just improven every day. 0:12:30.520 --> 0:12:32.280 Before answer, Johnny, do you want to mention when you 0:12:32.320 --> 0:12:35.160 ask this question, you preface it with asking about Bigsby, 0:12:35.280 --> 0:12:37.440 and Doug looked at you with a blank face for 0:12:37.480 --> 0:12:40.199 about ten seconds before he realized you meant tank because 0:12:40.200 --> 0:12:41.800 they literally just think of him as a tank. 0:12:41.920 --> 0:12:45.920 Yeah. I think that says a lot. Yeah. I had 0:12:45.960 --> 0:12:47.280 a moment where I was like, did I ask the 0:12:47.320 --> 0:12:48.600 wrong man? I think we all did. 0:12:48.720 --> 0:12:51.440 Really, I've asked many bad questions. I didn't think that 0:12:51.520 --> 0:12:55.319 was one of them. He's impressive and I have a 0:12:55.360 --> 0:12:59.200 hot take coming up later about him, so I won't 0:12:59.200 --> 0:13:02.320 burn all that off. What I will say is it's 0:13:02.360 --> 0:13:06.120 significant what he talked about just there with how he's 0:13:06.160 --> 0:13:11.040 taken coaching, because they have talked about Traves DTN and 0:13:11.280 --> 0:13:15.720 needing to work with him on setting up blocks, setting 0:13:15.840 --> 0:13:19.240 up runs, and becoming a better runner. That was something 0:13:19.280 --> 0:13:21.800 Travis needed to work on this offseason. It sounds like 0:13:21.920 --> 0:13:26.480 Bigsby's got that, So I think the kid might have 0:13:26.480 --> 0:13:27.280 a chance to be a star. 0:13:27.480 --> 0:13:31.240 So, which is long because John throws that term around 0:13:31.280 --> 0:13:33.520 like manhole covers for most people, so I'll say this 0:13:33.520 --> 0:13:36.280 about it. And I talked to him yesterday and we 0:13:36.320 --> 0:13:37.800 shook hands because it was the first time I had 0:13:37.800 --> 0:13:39.320 met him, and I came in, I said to you, 0:13:39.320 --> 0:13:42.440 have you ever shook his hand. It's the strongest grip 0:13:42.480 --> 0:13:44.600 I've ever felt. I mean it felt like he was 0:13:44.640 --> 0:13:47.320 squeezing for me to go to my knees. I think 0:13:47.360 --> 0:13:49.440 I have a pretty good grip. His is one hundred 0:13:49.440 --> 0:13:52.320 times stronger. I mean, I was like, I was impressed. 0:13:52.360 --> 0:13:53.800 He's not gonna be letting go of the football. 0:13:53.840 --> 0:13:56.079 Well, and look, he's completely built different, John, And I 0:13:56.160 --> 0:13:57.319 know you've got a hot take, so I don't want 0:13:57.320 --> 0:14:01.480 to He is just a different body style than ETN. 0:14:01.960 --> 0:14:04.959 And you can see this is a guy who at 0:14:05.000 --> 0:14:08.040 Auburn ran between the tackles. I can remember when they 0:14:08.120 --> 0:14:10.160 drafted him, you know, talking to people, this is a 0:14:10.240 --> 0:14:13.080 very patient runner. He understands how to follow the blocks. 0:14:13.360 --> 0:14:15.720 I think they used him differently at Auburn, and I 0:14:15.720 --> 0:14:17.360 think it's more suited for him to come in and 0:14:17.360 --> 0:14:19.960 have an impact as a rookie. Perhaps, but I won't 0:14:20.080 --> 0:14:21.120 say that power. 0:14:21.240 --> 0:14:24.160 Is his game because he's got it elsewhere on the offense. 0:14:24.240 --> 0:14:27.480 Press Taylor spoke this week and he talked a little 0:14:27.480 --> 0:14:30.400 bit about getting Chad Hall in as the wide receivers coach. 0:14:30.400 --> 0:14:32.400 He was in Buffalo before and just kind of the 0:14:32.480 --> 0:14:35.080 distinct style he's brought here and how he goes about 0:14:35.120 --> 0:14:36.440 coaching the wide receivers. 0:14:37.440 --> 0:14:39.640 Chad was our first call and we kind of extended 0:14:40.000 --> 0:14:41.880 an offer, wanted to see where that went. Gave him 0:14:41.880 --> 0:14:44.520 a lot of time with it because everything we knew 0:14:44.560 --> 0:14:48.240 from him, from Doug's experience with him, mutual contacts with him, 0:14:48.320 --> 0:14:50.840 Heath's relationship with him, we just felt like he'd be 0:14:50.840 --> 0:14:53.200 a fit with us, with our room, with our staff. 0:14:54.000 --> 0:14:55.520 So he was really the only one when after and 0:14:56.120 --> 0:14:58.240 certainly excited with what he's done so far. There are 0:14:58.240 --> 0:15:01.400 certain coaches that everybody the league is used to seeing 0:15:01.840 --> 0:15:04.240 on sideline TV copies running up and down the sidelines. 0:15:04.320 --> 0:15:06.440 Chad's one of those. So now he's on our sideline, 0:15:06.480 --> 0:15:09.400 so hopefully that that brings some uh some value, some 0:15:09.640 --> 0:15:10.960 in game energy to our group. 0:15:11.480 --> 0:15:12.840 It was definitely popular in Buffalo. 0:15:12.840 --> 0:15:13.080 We know St. 0:15:13.120 --> 0:15:15.440 Fon Diggs was not happy when Chad Hall left town. 0:15:16.000 --> 0:15:17.800 He do see him doing some quirky stuff, if only 0:15:17.840 --> 0:15:20.280 because of the way that the wide receivers are reacting 0:15:20.280 --> 0:15:21.760 to some of the drills because it looks like they're 0:15:21.800 --> 0:15:23.520 doing it maybe for the first time. So he does 0:15:23.560 --> 0:15:24.920 have kind of his own way. 0:15:24.760 --> 0:15:26.920 And he's sort of the boxing drills where he's punching. 0:15:28.160 --> 0:15:28.800 Hands like that. 0:15:28.880 --> 0:15:30.680 You can tell they haven't done it before, so they're like, oh, 0:15:30.760 --> 0:15:33.080 they pick it up quickly, of course, but just it's interesting. 0:15:33.160 --> 0:15:35.160 They work out right, you know, they're they're right there 0:15:35.960 --> 0:15:37.800 right in front of us in the morning, and he 0:15:37.920 --> 0:15:42.400 puts them through really meticulous, detailed drills where he'll have them, 0:15:42.560 --> 0:15:44.920 you know, torque to a certain angle with one foot 0:15:44.920 --> 0:15:47.440 forward and one foot back and stop and then start 0:15:47.480 --> 0:15:49.200 running and then stop before they hit the later and go. 0:15:49.320 --> 0:15:51.760 I mean, he's really he's got a reason for everything 0:15:51.800 --> 0:15:55.400 that he does. And it's interesting to watch the way 0:15:55.440 --> 0:15:58.680 that those veteran receivers are adjusting to him. I think 0:15:58.720 --> 0:15:59.520 they like him a lot. 0:15:59.640 --> 0:16:01.880 I think they all love him. You'll take to what 0:16:01.920 --> 0:16:03.280 he's saying very quickly. 0:16:03.320 --> 0:16:05.479 Like but he's called different methods him, yes. 0:16:05.400 --> 0:16:07.880 And that's got to be helpful, especially even Calvin Ridley's 0:16:07.880 --> 0:16:10.440 excited to do a lot of that stuff. So it's 0:16:10.520 --> 0:16:12.640 they're interesting to watch John, have you ever seen kind 0:16:12.640 --> 0:16:14.360 of those kind of drills before in that way? 0:16:14.760 --> 0:16:15.200 Not really. 0:16:16.360 --> 0:16:19.160 My think with the position coach is this, if if 0:16:19.200 --> 0:16:22.720 the players like it and buy in, then he can 0:16:22.760 --> 0:16:25.560 be an effective coach that works and you know, you 0:16:25.600 --> 0:16:27.560 can have all the knowledge you want. 0:16:27.920 --> 0:16:30.479 If players, especially in this league where. 0:16:30.240 --> 0:16:33.360 They tend to get jaded very quickly on a style 0:16:33.880 --> 0:16:36.600 and can shut you out, if they're responding to it, 0:16:36.600 --> 0:16:37.520 it's going to help them. 0:16:37.560 --> 0:16:40.120 So he's got that ability, which is impressive. 0:16:40.640 --> 0:16:42.680 All right, quickly, we'll go to special teams. Heath Farewell 0:16:42.720 --> 0:16:45.080 spoke to us special teams coordinator and he told us 0:16:45.080 --> 0:16:46.880 that in the off season, Andre Cisco came to him 0:16:46.920 --> 0:16:49.480 and said he wanted to be part of special teams. 0:16:50.280 --> 0:16:52.160 So the off season he came to me as a coach, 0:16:52.200 --> 0:16:54.040 I'd love to be a returner, you know, get back 0:16:54.040 --> 0:16:57.080 there with those guys. No problem, did it. He's been great. 0:16:57.160 --> 0:17:01.680 He's he started out just learning the position, and if 0:17:01.680 --> 0:17:03.560 you guys have watched some of the training camp practices, 0:17:03.600 --> 0:17:07.440 he's been great. He catches him clean, he's smooth, he's reliable, 0:17:07.840 --> 0:17:10.520 he's smart, he's tough. He's a guy that they can 0:17:10.520 --> 0:17:12.760 compete for. That you know that emergency guy. 0:17:13.800 --> 0:17:15.000 Now, love the initiative. 0:17:15.080 --> 0:17:16.440 He does look great out there, but I think the 0:17:16.520 --> 0:17:19.320 keyword is emergency because hopefully Andrew's. 0:17:18.920 --> 0:17:19.639 Not doing that. 0:17:19.960 --> 0:17:22.320 Yeah, I would have asked him to leave my office. 0:17:22.720 --> 0:17:23.600 He's entertaining it. 0:17:24.160 --> 0:17:26.640
