1 00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:04,400 Speaker 1: Well, just a quick uh say a quick intro here, 2 00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:07,480 Speaker 1: so uh, you know, heading into uh kind of the 3 00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:13,320 Speaker 1: next phase here. UM as practices change a little bit, um, 4 00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:16,840 Speaker 1: both in length and intensity and pads and so forth. 5 00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:19,319 Speaker 1: So it's a good opportunity for us this week to 6 00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:23,919 Speaker 1: really work on our fundamentals and get used to um, 7 00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:28,080 Speaker 1: you know, playing in more more real football type conditions. 8 00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:32,280 Speaker 1: So UM looking forward to that and UM again, a 9 00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:34,080 Speaker 1: lot of work to do here. We just continue to 10 00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:36,840 Speaker 1: you know, build every day. We got a little something new, 11 00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:40,519 Speaker 1: um that we need to you know add you know, 12 00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:43,600 Speaker 1: be ready to go here by hopefully the end of 13 00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:46,400 Speaker 1: the week and then um, you know, and then I 14 00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:49,320 Speaker 1: give us a few days next week to um start 15 00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:53,559 Speaker 1: preparing for Washington. So that's that's really our schedule here. 16 00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:56,480 Speaker 1: I feel like we you know, got off to uh 17 00:00:57,160 --> 00:00:59,400 Speaker 1: you know, players who were in good condition, got off 18 00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:03,000 Speaker 1: through decent start last week. We'll just try to keep 19 00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:05,200 Speaker 1: stacking days together and you know, build it from there. 20 00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:14,200 Speaker 1: Good start with Phil Perry morn of Bill, how are 21 00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:20,360 Speaker 1: you good? UM, Curious about Stefan Gilmore's rehab and if 22 00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:22,560 Speaker 1: you think you'll be healthy enough to get back out 23 00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:26,160 Speaker 1: onto the field. Anytime soon, maybe this week. Oh yeah, 24 00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:28,240 Speaker 1: let's keep taking it day by day. It's really pretty 25 00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:31,240 Speaker 1: much the same situation with a lot of those players. 26 00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:37,600 Speaker 1: So just again, just see how each day goes, and 27 00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:40,760 Speaker 1: if it improves, then we move ahead, and if it doesn't, 28 00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:44,160 Speaker 1: then we might have to pause until we can kind 29 00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:49,280 Speaker 1: of get things ready to move forward. So um, that's 30 00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:52,520 Speaker 1: you know that every day is its own kind of 31 00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:55,600 Speaker 1: its own day, and we'll just you know, go go 32 00:01:55,840 --> 00:02:06,040 Speaker 1: day by day. Next question, Phil Perry Fell by Tom Kerr. Hey, Bill, 33 00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:09,560 Speaker 1: I want to ask about Matt Judon. I know, for 34 00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:11,400 Speaker 1: some of these guys that you guys acquired in the 35 00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:13,600 Speaker 1: offseason and maybe you didn't get it a ton of 36 00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:17,520 Speaker 1: time with on the field in the spring, you know, 37 00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,920 Speaker 1: maybe a chance to learn a little bit more about them. 38 00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:23,320 Speaker 1: But what have you learned about Matt specifically over the 39 00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:26,720 Speaker 1: course last week or so, since you hadn't met training 40 00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:31,120 Speaker 1: camp practice here. Yeah, I think Matthew has done a 41 00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:35,160 Speaker 1: good job coming in picking things up. He's a smart 42 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:39,360 Speaker 1: player's instinctive player. He's done probably everything that we've asked 43 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:42,760 Speaker 1: them to do earlier in his career, just kind of 44 00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:46,639 Speaker 1: putting it into the way it fits. Into our defense 45 00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:52,720 Speaker 1: or the translating terms and so forth. But I don't 46 00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:56,000 Speaker 1: think we're doing I don't think we're doing too much 47 00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:59,920 Speaker 1: that he hasn't done before. So but you know, we're early. 48 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:02,919 Speaker 1: It's uh, you know, it's handful of days really, it's 49 00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:05,160 Speaker 1: most all of it's been in the red area. End 50 00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:07,200 Speaker 1: of the spring and then start a training camp, so 51 00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:11,800 Speaker 1: start working into some some other situations and um, you know, 52 00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:13,680 Speaker 1: we we've hit a little bit on third down, but 53 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:17,720 Speaker 1: that'll that'll pick up as we go as well, so 54 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,400 Speaker 1: we'll see. But you know, glad we have him. Good player, 55 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:27,760 Speaker 1: there's a lot of skill. Um, smart guy, instinctive understands things, 56 00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:30,639 Speaker 1: you know, picks things up pretty easily and quickly. So 57 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:39,280 Speaker 1: it's been good. Thanks Phil, You're welcome, Phil. Next question 58 00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:45,600 Speaker 1: Tom Kern, Hey, Bill, Um, you mentioned stacking days and 59 00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 1: understanding that it's not quite real football yet it did 60 00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:52,040 Speaker 1: seem as if Nikkil Harry over the first four days 61 00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:55,960 Speaker 1: off camp was a fairly consistent performer for you so far. 62 00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:58,920 Speaker 1: What were your impressions of him over the first few days, 63 00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:03,520 Speaker 1: And certainly everybody's aware of the request that he had made, 64 00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 1: do you foresee what he foresaw that he could absolutely 65 00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:11,160 Speaker 1: be a part of this football team this year. You know, 66 00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:13,920 Speaker 1: I think you know, Nikiel like like really all the 67 00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,880 Speaker 1: other players that are out there, um, are working hard, 68 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:21,560 Speaker 1: They're improving. We're better than we were on Wednesday, which 69 00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:24,520 Speaker 1: is a good thing. Um. I don't just need to 70 00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:27,400 Speaker 1: keep you know, keep the arrow pointing up and stay 71 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:30,760 Speaker 1: on the field and continue to you know, progress from 72 00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:33,400 Speaker 1: a scheme standpoint as we do more things, and from 73 00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:38,120 Speaker 1: a fundamental and technique standpoint for each individual player at 74 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,960 Speaker 1: his position. That's that's where the time of year we're 75 00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:44,359 Speaker 1: at now. So UM, you know, thought Nikiel is in 76 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:50,040 Speaker 1: good condition, he's working hard, and just again keep keep 77 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:52,880 Speaker 1: taking it day by day and you know, as the 78 00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:56,200 Speaker 1: competition unfold, see, I think stack up everywhere, not just 79 00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:58,159 Speaker 1: with him, but in all the way across the boards 80 00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:02,359 Speaker 1: are the same for everybody. And I presume that you know, 81 00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:07,320 Speaker 1: we mentioned to him the other day after the discussion 82 00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:12,000 Speaker 1: that his agent launched, um would he like to be here? 83 00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,120 Speaker 1: He could he envisioned himself being here? He said absolutely, 84 00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:17,440 Speaker 1: And I would imagine that that's might be the way 85 00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:21,520 Speaker 1: you feel as well. If he's performing in a particular level. Yeah, 86 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:23,880 Speaker 1: kill and I've talked about it. I think you know, 87 00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:26,240 Speaker 1: we have a good we had a good conversation, We 88 00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:28,640 Speaker 1: have a good relationship. So I'm not going to get 89 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:34,880 Speaker 1: into all that okata, So thank you. It looks like 90 00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:39,800 Speaker 1: two more questions been volid in bombs morning bill, Um, 91 00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:43,760 Speaker 1: two quick ones if that's okay. First, Christian Barmore. What 92 00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:45,760 Speaker 1: have you learned about him and the time you've had 93 00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:51,680 Speaker 1: him so far? Oh? Yeah, Christian's a very talented player. Um, 94 00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:56,200 Speaker 1: just got a lot of physical skills, size, strength, quickness, 95 00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:59,040 Speaker 1: so forth. Obviously been in a good program, bell been 96 00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:02,320 Speaker 1: well coached and um, you know, some of the things 97 00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:04,600 Speaker 1: we're doing are similar to what he's done. There are 98 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:06,880 Speaker 1: some things that are a little bit different, but he's 99 00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,520 Speaker 1: he's made a lot of progress. Um, we'll see if 100 00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:12,760 Speaker 1: that you know, how that goes when the when the 101 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,719 Speaker 1: paths come on and um, you know, when the real 102 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,960 Speaker 1: real bullets start flying. It's hard to evaluate the offensive 103 00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:22,520 Speaker 1: a defensive lineman without any any kind of contact, which 104 00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:26,719 Speaker 1: is essentially what the way it's been. So we'll see. 105 00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:30,520 Speaker 1: I'll see how it goes for all of them. When 106 00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:36,880 Speaker 1: you know, we get contact and blocking and the feet 107 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:39,919 Speaker 1: and blocks and pass rushing and pass protection and so forth. 108 00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:44,280 Speaker 1: So we'll see sure. And I want to ask you 109 00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:46,839 Speaker 1: about training camp real quick. Obviously a big part of 110 00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:50,880 Speaker 1: camp for you guys is the bonding togetherness, and last year, 111 00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:53,480 Speaker 1: I think it was pretty difficult from what I remember, 112 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:55,560 Speaker 1: if you guys to do a lot of just team 113 00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:58,400 Speaker 1: bonding and building exercises. How's that going this year? Are 114 00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:03,720 Speaker 1: you able to do more? How's that bonding element going? Well, 115 00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:06,760 Speaker 1: there's no comparison between last year and this year. UM. 116 00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:09,160 Speaker 1: This year we had, you know a lot of opportunity 117 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:13,320 Speaker 1: in the spring to do that, UM. And so last 118 00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:16,160 Speaker 1: year this was kind of the first time some of 119 00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:18,920 Speaker 1: us even met the players or the players met each 120 00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:23,160 Speaker 1: other or anything. So we're we're a lot different than that. 121 00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:27,200 Speaker 1: But you know, relative to other years prior to twenty UM. 122 00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:29,440 Speaker 1: You know, it's part of the process. And you know, 123 00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:32,840 Speaker 1: the more time we spend around each other and do things, 124 00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:36,120 Speaker 1: you know, on and off the field formally and informally. UM, 125 00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:39,360 Speaker 1: you know that I'm sure that will all wall happens, 126 00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:43,680 Speaker 1: not something that you know, it's one day or one 127 00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:48,040 Speaker 1: one thing, but it's a cumutive effect and I think 128 00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:55,000 Speaker 1: that's happening. It is happening that kind of question of 129 00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:58,600 Speaker 1: Bob service Bill. This is somewhat related to to that one, 130 00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:01,920 Speaker 1: and and I guess times as well. We often talk 131 00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:04,720 Speaker 1: about the one year to second year jump for players. 132 00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:08,400 Speaker 1: But I'm curious your impressions of the second to third 133 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:11,800 Speaker 1: year players now, the guys who were in their third seasons, 134 00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:14,600 Speaker 1: who didn't have as much time on the field last 135 00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:16,120 Speaker 1: year in the spring. Of course, they have any time 136 00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:18,520 Speaker 1: of the field in the spring. Last year didn't have 137 00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:21,160 Speaker 1: the off season program, whereas now they've had the off 138 00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:23,960 Speaker 1: season program and they were able to get on the 139 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:27,640 Speaker 1: field in the spring. Yeah, well, I think you know, Bob, 140 00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:30,920 Speaker 1: just the way you articulated it really makes those second 141 00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:34,199 Speaker 1: to third year players in a way first to second 142 00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:38,160 Speaker 1: year players because they didn't get the full first to 143 00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:41,880 Speaker 1: second year experience. Certainly they learned from a season and 144 00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:46,080 Speaker 1: going into another season, but you know, as you pointed out, 145 00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:51,400 Speaker 1: without the spring, without all the foundation laying that you 146 00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:58,240 Speaker 1: do in the spring, both training fundamentals, scheme, installation, team, 147 00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:01,520 Speaker 1: you know, building and communication and so forth, and all 148 00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:04,640 Speaker 1: those things are they're a part of it too. And 149 00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:07,680 Speaker 1: so yeah, there's a big jump from year one to 150 00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:10,719 Speaker 1: year two. The next biggest jump probably is year two 151 00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:13,400 Speaker 1: to year three. But when you look at a year 152 00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:18,240 Speaker 1: like last year that wasn't a normal you know, year 153 00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:21,760 Speaker 1: two to year three, maybe there's there's an element of 154 00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:25,800 Speaker 1: that first to second year jump as well that's also 155 00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:28,480 Speaker 1: added in there. So yeah, I think that's that's a 156 00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:31,560 Speaker 1: really you know, it's a good observation, and that's I 157 00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:36,160 Speaker 1: think you can see that. Another question with regards to 158 00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:38,920 Speaker 1: the communication, and in particular in the readier and from 159 00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:40,840 Speaker 1: a defensive point of view, I think you're asked about 160 00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:46,720 Speaker 1: it from an offensive the communication that's involved there. What 161 00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:49,120 Speaker 1: have you seen from some of the newcomers in the defense? 162 00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:51,880 Speaker 1: And I was thinking in particular rakevon McMillan, there's been 163 00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:53,920 Speaker 1: times it looks like he's out there trying to direct 164 00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:57,679 Speaker 1: the defensive big from that standpoint, being able to communicate 165 00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:03,560 Speaker 1: and understanding, Yeah, well that's um, you know, it's it's 166 00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:06,720 Speaker 1: always important for the defense, but particularly important uh in 167 00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:11,680 Speaker 1: the red area when um, obviously there's less space every yard, 168 00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:15,240 Speaker 1: it's more important. Uh. And and the offense does things, 169 00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:18,280 Speaker 1: the game changes. It's certainly there's not much of a 170 00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:21,320 Speaker 1: vertical game down there. Now becomes a you know, some 171 00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:27,040 Speaker 1: version of a horizontal game. UM, and making sure that 172 00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:30,440 Speaker 1: you know, you understand as a defense the transition and 173 00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:34,200 Speaker 1: you know how how things change down there, and not 174 00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:40,480 Speaker 1: just from a yardage standpoint, but from offensive scheme standpoint. Uh. 175 00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:43,480 Speaker 1: You know that's that's all part of the defensive awareness. 176 00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:46,160 Speaker 1: And it starts, of course with the with the inside 177 00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:50,640 Speaker 1: linebackers and and the safeties. So Raycon's done a done 178 00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:54,280 Speaker 1: a real good job. I've been very impressed with his intelligence, 179 00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:58,200 Speaker 1: his work ethic. Um, he's locked in every day. Uh, 180 00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:02,560 Speaker 1: he's very UM, you know, works extremely hard both on 181 00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:05,920 Speaker 1: and off the field. Uh. That does a great job 182 00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:08,080 Speaker 1: of trying to get it, you know, just the way 183 00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:10,400 Speaker 1: that it's supposed to be, the way that he's been taught. 184 00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:13,480 Speaker 1: And you know, it takes all that very seriously and 185 00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:16,240 Speaker 1: handles a lot of responsibility in there, both with the 186 00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:19,360 Speaker 1: front of coverage and a lot of times the linebacker 187 00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:23,520 Speaker 1: adjustments by formation and so forth. So. UM, but that 188 00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:26,560 Speaker 1: area of the field and and the overall defensive communication 189 00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:31,480 Speaker 1: down there is um is heightened. Um. It's important everywhere, 190 00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:34,840 Speaker 1: but it's it becomes uh, you know, even more I 191 00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:39,040 Speaker 1: would say stressful and difficult down there. Because again, it 192 00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:41,440 Speaker 1: happened so fast. Just half a step down there and 193 00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:44,160 Speaker 1: it's a touchdown, and half a step somewhere else might 194 00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:47,640 Speaker 1: be a you know, eight yard gain or whatever. You 195 00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:50,320 Speaker 1: line up and go to the next down. But in 196 00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:54,280 Speaker 1: the red area, it's, uh, it just just happens so much, 197 00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:59,360 Speaker 1: so much quicker, and the offense tries to obviously put 198 00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:03,599 Speaker 1: the defense in a stress situation, you know, very quickly. Um, 199 00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:06,800 Speaker 1: we're only talking about a couple of yards. It's it's 200 00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:13,360 Speaker 1: more challenging, right, thank you. Yep, you're welcome, Bob, Thank you, coach, 201 00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:26,360 Speaker 1: Thanks everyone, Okay, great, thank you, thanks Jassy. All right,
