1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,560
Speaker 1: Everyone, we'll give coach bullet Check an opportunity to do

2
00:00:02,640 --> 00:00:06,920
Speaker 1: an opening address and then we'll take questions to go ahead. Coach. Yeah,

3
00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:09,600
Speaker 1: well we're uh, you know, i'd say in the you know,

4
00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:12,200
Speaker 1: the dog days of training camp here, just grinding through

5
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:14,360
Speaker 1: it day by day. It's just really what our team

6
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:18,720
Speaker 1: needs to um, you know, build its consistency and you know,

7
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:21,880
Speaker 1: mental physical toughness, UM you know, just a lot of

8
00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:26,560
Speaker 1: practice repetitions and um, you know, starting to to put

9
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:31,720
Speaker 1: things together situationally. But it's I think we're at that

10
00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:34,760
Speaker 1: stage where we have, um, you know, we spent a

11
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:37,000
Speaker 1: lot of time on on a lot of the basic things.

12
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:41,320
Speaker 1: The majority of our uh schemes are are in and

13
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:44,960
Speaker 1: now it's really about developing the consistency that we need

14
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 1: and uh that you know can only be done through

15
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 1: a lot of practice repetitions and um you know, just

16
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:56,120
Speaker 1: seeing different things and and executing plays uh at a

17
00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 1: at a high speed or you know, close to high

18
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:01,200
Speaker 1: speed tempo. UM. So we can you know, carry that

19
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:06,480
Speaker 1: over into the game ultimately. So we'll just uh, you know,

20
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 1: just gonna have to string a lot of these days

21
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:11,280
Speaker 1: together here in the next week and a half and

22
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 1: just one day at a time, but that's you know,

23
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 1: that's where we're at and we'll get a good chance

24
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:21,120
Speaker 1: going forward here, UM to evaluate where everybody's at and

25
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 1: how they're how they're doing relative to the competition at

26
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 1: their position or the competition on the other side of

27
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 1: the ball and the players that they're competing against. So um,

28
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 1: you know, as always mentioned, to see how how all

29
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 1: that turns out and what type of roles players will

30
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 1: establish for themselves based on their performance. We're gonna start

31
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 1: with Phil Perry followed by Joe Kia. Go ahead, philm

32
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 1: Hey bill, I wanted to ask you about your outside

33
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 1: linebacker position and how you've seen, um, some players in

34
00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 1: that group maybe development over the early portion camp here.

35
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 1: It seems like you have some young guys there, but

36
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 1: Derek Rivers in particular with somebody wanted to ask about

37
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:08,960
Speaker 1: because um, it's is fourth year I guess in the league,

38
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 1: but I know he's had to deal with a lot

39
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 1: of injury and so how impressed maybe have you been

40
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:17,079
Speaker 1: by him being able to to get back out there

41
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 1: this year and uh and be participated. Yeah, well, it's

42
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:23,520
Speaker 1: great to have Uh, it's great to have riv out there.

43
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:27,399
Speaker 1: He's been had a very very good camp and um

44
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 1: you know has really has playing with a lot of confidence.

45
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 1: Um he's he's gained a lot of strength, uh an

46
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 1: explosiveness as well as uh you know, rehabbing the injury

47
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 1: as you mentioned Phil, but his overall you know, body composition, strength,

48
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 1: you know power uh is good. It's a very competitive position.

49
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 1: We've got uh you know a number of different uh, well,

50
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 1: a number of players there that you know all um

51
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 1: you know, I think bring a lot to the table,

52
00:02:55,240 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 1: um you know to Sean and riv Um shalik. Uh.

53
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 1: Brandon Copeland's been a good addition for us. Um you know,

54
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 1: we don't know him or we're getting to know him,

55
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 1: but he certainly has, um you know, a good skill

56
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 1: set and and uh you know plays in the kicking

57
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:15,360
Speaker 1: game of course, Chase and John. Uh you know those

58
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 1: guys have you know played for US last year or

59
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 1: John for a couple of years. Uh he's John's really

60
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:24,799
Speaker 1: a good football player. He's a very dependable and consistent player. Uh.

61
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:26,520
Speaker 1: You know, it's really emerged as one of the one

62
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 1: of the leaders on our defense. So um you know,

63
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 1: we've we've seen a lot of good competition at that position.

64
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 1: And I'll be interesting to see how all that plays out.

65
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 1: But Derek's Derek's done a good job. UM, and he's

66
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 1: he's well well ahead of where he's been in the past. Um.

67
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 1: You know, each day it seems like he gets a

68
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 1: little more consistent, a little more confident. UM. And you know,

69
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 1: I think he should, you know, he should be able

70
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 1: to help us. Next question Joe Kayota probably Mark King.

71
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 1: Good morning, Bill, thank you for your time. I had

72
00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 1: interested about the progression of Cam Newton and his development,

73
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 1: especially over the last eight days of camping. Your your

74
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 1: thoughts on that, and well, I think we're kind of

75
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 1: getting at the point now with with all the quarterbacks

76
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 1: where where there's not a lot of new installation going in. Uh,

77
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 1: it's really a repetition of the things that they've been doing.

78
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 1: And now is you know, really the time to evaluate

79
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 1: how well they perform. Um, they know what to do,

80
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 1: They've seen different looks, uh, they've worked with um, you know,

81
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:32,359
Speaker 1: the different receivers, tight ends, running backs, Uh, even the

82
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 1: offensive line relative to you know, cadences and things like that.

83
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:39,839
Speaker 1: So I think everybody has a lot better you know,

84
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:43,599
Speaker 1: field than they did. UM. Obviously, you know, a week ago,

85
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:46,159
Speaker 1: a week and a half ago. Uh, And so I

86
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,039
Speaker 1: think we're we're, you know, we're all getting to that

87
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 1: point now where at all the positions that the players

88
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 1: you know, know they know what to do, they know

89
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 1: how to do it, they knew who they're working with, Uh,

90
00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 1: they know their teammates and and um, you know, we'll

91
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 1: see how how the competition unfolds at every position. But um,

92
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 1: specifically for Cam, he's he's worked very hard pick things

93
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:12,840
Speaker 1: up well. UM. Of course you know Stid and uh

94
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:15,839
Speaker 1: Brian have a little more experience in the system. UM,

95
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,839
Speaker 1: Cam obviously has more playing experience. So we'll see how

96
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:21,719
Speaker 1: all that plays out. But UM, I think we're, you know,

97
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:24,600
Speaker 1: we're ready to I would say, move forward from an

98
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 1: execution standpoint, As I said, schematically, we're you know, we're

99
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 1: we're far enough along here where we have plenty of

100
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:34,720
Speaker 1: football in uh to play a game and to play

101
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:38,159
Speaker 1: and in everything but maybe a couple of the last

102
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,480
Speaker 1: play of the game type situations. But other than that,

103
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,279
Speaker 1: we have we have a lot to play with and UM,

104
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 1: we'll just have to see how well we can you know,

105
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 1: perform and perform against the you know, competitive situation. On

106
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:51,359
Speaker 1: the other side of the ball with our defense and

107
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 1: vice versa. Thank you Andrew Callahan Bill football as well.

108
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 1: It's good mark Im. I'm Cam Newton one word. We

109
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:04,479
Speaker 1: keep hearing about him, his energy, and I think we

110
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 1: all see that in the bleachers, whether it be when

111
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 1: music comes on or someone makes a play of different

112
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 1: handshakes and chest bumps. And he said, you know you're

113
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 1: in the dog days of summer right now. How valuable

114
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 1: is that energy coming from a veteran when it's obviously

115
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:21,040
Speaker 1: hiding you guys are working really hard. Well, I think

116
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,719
Speaker 1: that's Cam's personality. I think you you see that in

117
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 1: in a morning going into the squad meeting, or see

118
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 1: it on the practice field, um, you know, or in

119
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 1: the dining room, whatever happens to be. So that's you know,

120
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 1: that's kind of the way he is. And and uh,

121
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 1: look all the players on the team, UM, you know,

122
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:42,360
Speaker 1: we're all different, we all have different uh personalities, and

123
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 1: and uh that's what that's what that's what makes up

124
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 1: a team is UM. You know that that diversity of

125
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:50,720
Speaker 1: UM people. And we have some guys with a lot

126
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 1: of experience I'm with no experience, UM, and plenty in

127
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 1: between sod be interesting to see how it all comes together.

128
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 1: Each team forms its own chemistry, and certainly Cam is

129
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:05,040
Speaker 1: an important part of that, but you know, so so

130
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 1: are all the other guys, the other seventy nine players

131
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 1: on the team and the coaches as well. So well,

132
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 1: we'll see how all that manifests itself here over the

133
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 1: next few weeks and you know, ultimately months. Thank you, Yep,

134
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 1: you're welcome. Andrew Callahan, followed by Evan Lazzar, Hey, good morning, Bill,

135
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 1: and I know you've spoken in the past about coach

136
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:31,880
Speaker 1: Fitch introducing some new ideas and he's acclimated quick quickly

137
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 1: to the staff. Last week, Josh talked about that being

138
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 1: a benefit, specifically dealing with a mulbile quarterback. So I'm curious,

139
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 1: from when Jed came on in January, or any coach

140
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 1: comes in and you're starting to introduce new ideas, what

141
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 1: is the process of taking those from when their first

142
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 1: dribbled up with the white board and either you say

143
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 1: okay or Josh does too. Now they're being installed on

144
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 1: the field and applying whatever to techniques need to kind

145
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 1: of found those ideas for them to kind of come

146
00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 1: to fruition in a fully formed play or happening. Yeah, well,

147
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:06,800
Speaker 1: I think anytime you you bring a new person in,

148
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 1: the first thing, uh, in our situation, uh, that that

149
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 1: they need to do is understand what we do and

150
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 1: understand what what our foundation is and and you know

151
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 1: how how would depend on what the position is, but

152
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 1: you know, in Jet's case, understand how the offense UM works,

153
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:28,880
Speaker 1: what everything means, what why things are the way they

154
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:32,760
Speaker 1: are UM. And then once once a person gets an

155
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 1: understanding of that, then then that's a good time. If

156
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 1: they have a suggestion or have a way that uh

157
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:42,679
Speaker 1: they think, you know, can they can we can modify

158
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 1: things to make it more more efficient or how how

159
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 1: we would call or coach or structure uh something maybe

160
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 1: that we're not doing, or or make it a little

161
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 1: different than what, uh than what we have currently. Uh,

162
00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:00,240
Speaker 1: then that's the time to do it. I mean for

163
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 1: somebody to come in and and not know anything about

164
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 1: our system, our terminology and the structure of what we're doing,

165
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:12,439
Speaker 1: and you know, start drawing stuff up on the board

166
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:15,319
Speaker 1: just you know, I don't we'd have to waste a

167
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:17,360
Speaker 1: lot of time doing all the things that I just

168
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 1: talked about for it really to be a very meaningful conversation.

169
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:24,200
Speaker 1: So um, you know, in the initial stages there maybe

170
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 1: some philosophical type discussions and and all that. But once,

171
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 1: you know, once everything is set to go, then it

172
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 1: really is up to all of us to you know,

173
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 1: be on the same page, to teach new coaches what

174
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 1: we do and how we do it for them to

175
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 1: understand it, and then uh, you know, for us to

176
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 1: work together if there's a new idea or a new

177
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:47,680
Speaker 1: way that we want to modify something. And we have

178
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:49,400
Speaker 1: a lot of those ideas ourselves. I mean, at the

179
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:52,679
Speaker 1: end of every year, the coaches always have some things

180
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:55,920
Speaker 1: that you know, we feel like going into next year

181
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 1: we want to work on or emphasize or change whatever

182
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:02,720
Speaker 1: happened to be. And uh, sometimes that's the start of

183
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:06,440
Speaker 1: those conversations. And sometimes the ideas come from, uh somebody

184
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 1: with a different background that has maybe something that we

185
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 1: haven't considered or aren't as familiar with, and and they

186
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 1: can add some insight to it. So um, it's no

187
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 1: real set formula. Would all depend on, you know, all

188
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 1: those factors that I just talked about, and certainly what

189
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 1: the subject matter was, uh, you know as well, so

190
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 1: you know, it could be anything from a technique to

191
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 1: u a practice structure, or a meeting structure. We evaluate

192
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 1: all those every year and and try to refine them

193
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:42,080
Speaker 1: and make them efficient. So, um, there's a time and

194
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 1: a place to discuss all those things. Uh. And that's

195
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:48,240
Speaker 1: you know that that's basically the way we try to

196
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 1: put it together. I'm expecially people are born. Hey, Bill,

197
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 1: when you guys drafted Byron Coward, you talked a lot

198
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 1: about how it has used in the pass rush, but

199
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:03,440
Speaker 1: we've seen him use a decent amount and run defense.

200
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:05,600
Speaker 1: I just wanted to know your impressions of how he's

201
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:09,160
Speaker 1: developed as a run defender in the last training camp. Now,

202
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 1: I guess wait, when we drafted him, I said he

203
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:16,280
Speaker 1: was used a lot in the pass rush at Maryland

204
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:22,160
Speaker 1: Byron Colery. Yeah, I mean they play a lot of

205
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 1: bass defense at Maryland. I wouldn't say that they had,

206
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:27,640
Speaker 1: you know, a ton of pass passing situations there. I

207
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:31,679
Speaker 1: think you know, he's been primarily a run player. Um,

208
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:34,760
Speaker 1: you know throughout his career when it was at Auburn

209
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 1: and also when he was at Maryland. Um, I'm not

210
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:41,360
Speaker 1: saying he can't rush the passer, but that's you know,

211
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:44,600
Speaker 1: i'd say the pass rush is an area that, um,

212
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:47,800
Speaker 1: he's worked hard to develop and improve on because he

213
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:51,080
Speaker 1: he hasn't had as much experience or exposure with it.

214
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:55,200
Speaker 1: But he's a you know, very strong and physical player.

215
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:58,240
Speaker 1: UM and I think he's you know, one of the

216
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:01,880
Speaker 1: one of the most explosive players you know we've had

217
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:06,600
Speaker 1: or do have. But really for him, it's a lot

218
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 1: about experience and technique. And he certainly made a ton

219
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:13,200
Speaker 1: of growth in the last twelve months here from where

220
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:15,200
Speaker 1: he was last year in training camp, and you know,

221
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:18,320
Speaker 1: I think that's gonna hopefully continue to assent. I think

222
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:21,559
Speaker 1: his past rush techniques have gotten much better at De Marcus.

223
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:24,240
Speaker 1: You know, it's really worked hard with him and Joe

224
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 1: Kim both worked very hard with him on you know,

225
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 1: developing things that will work for him, not necessarily what

226
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 1: you know another player does or doesn't do, but really

227
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 1: trying to utilize his strengths and his UM skill set.

228
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:46,679
Speaker 1: So I don't know, I'd say either either I misanswered

229
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 1: the question, didn't understand the question, or or maybe you

230
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:54,080
Speaker 1: misinterpreted the answer. But I think this is a player

231
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 1: that has more of a run background than a than

232
00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:02,160
Speaker 1: a pass rushing background. And I'd say, his development in

233
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:05,280
Speaker 1: in both areas has been significant, but he's probably made

234
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 1: more growth in the in the past rush area just

235
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:10,800
Speaker 1: because he didn't do it, you know as much. It

236
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:14,400
Speaker 1: played a lot of four technique at Maryland. Um, you know,

237
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 1: which isn't you know, the most advantageous position to rush from,

238
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 1: but he played it well, I'm not saying that it

239
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:23,480
Speaker 1: just let's say things are a little bit. Um, let's

240
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:25,920
Speaker 1: say we have a little more variety and balance here

241
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,600
Speaker 1: than than what he had in college or even going

242
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:37,440
Speaker 1: back to Auburn. Your final question has been Ben, you

243
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:40,800
Speaker 1: guys signed Nick Folk on Monday and then obviously already

244
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:43,720
Speaker 1: have Justin Rohlwasser here. So what went in then into

245
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 1: the decision to bring Nick back? And where do you

246
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 1: view the state of the kicking position right now? Uh? Yeah, well,

247
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:53,200
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I think both players are are

248
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 1: you know, good kickers. We'll see how it goes. That'll

249
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 1: be up to them, uh to decide. But we've we've

250
00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 1: talked to Nick throughout the course of the spring and

251
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:05,839
Speaker 1: even training camp. Um, and um, you know, things worked

252
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:11,200
Speaker 1: out here uh last week, and so it's great to

253
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 1: have him. He certainly came in and did a good

254
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 1: job for us last year. Um, but there were things

255
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 1: just didn't didn't work out until recently with Neck and

256
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 1: and so I'm glad they did. I'm glad he's here.

257
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 1: And UM, we'll see how it turns out. I don't know, well,

258
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:32,200
Speaker 1: you know, those two guys will we'll both get as

259
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:35,120
Speaker 1: much opportunity as we can give them, and it we'll

260
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:37,840
Speaker 1: evaluate him and go from there. But we've been talking

261
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:41,640
Speaker 1: to next since you know, back in March, so I

262
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:43,360
Speaker 1: mean this isn't something that just you know, came up

263
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:45,120
Speaker 1: a couple days ago. It's been a you know, an

264
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 1: ongoing conversation, um for several months. Actually, our last question

265
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:58,280
Speaker 1: like all right, hey Bill, how are you good? Sort

266
00:14:58,320 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 1: of sort of miss being in the room there with

267
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:03,160
Speaker 1: are you missing us at all? Yeah? You know, it

268
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 1: was um really quite uh quite a change with the

269
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:11,880
Speaker 1: team from you know, doing WebEx call after WebEx call

270
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:14,200
Speaker 1: after WebEx call and then to actually you know, see

271
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 1: everybody together and and uh, you know, have that interpersonal

272
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:23,520
Speaker 1: relationship UM was you know, was good and I think

273
00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:26,600
Speaker 1: it kind of makes you appreciate I appreciate him when

274
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 1: you haven't had him for a while. So um, yeah,

275
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:32,240
Speaker 1: look forward to seeing you guys a little closer range

276
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 1: here sometime in the future. Yeah, I was, I was

277
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 1: going to ask about the Kicker, but then asked it.

278
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:40,680
Speaker 1: So we'll get you off on your way to prep. Yeah.

279
00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 1: Great minds think alike. There you go. Thank you, very

280
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:48,280
Speaker 1: thanks everyone, all right, thank you,
