1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:04,680
Speaker 1: Morning, Josh, Good morning Mike. The last say ten quarters

2
00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:06,840
Speaker 1: or so, it seems like you guys are really starting

3
00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:10,559
Speaker 1: to establish some momentum and maybe an identity. Do you

4
00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:13,280
Speaker 1: sort of feel that I know you're a game plan team,

5
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:16,239
Speaker 1: but it seems like that power running scheam is really

6
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:21,920
Speaker 1: it's working for you guys. Yeah, We've we've had some

7
00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:25,720
Speaker 1: um you know, I think the it starts with taking

8
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:28,920
Speaker 1: care of the football and and uh, you know, staying

9
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:32,680
Speaker 1: in positive down in distance situations. I think that's that's

10
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:36,640
Speaker 1: always been a good formula any team I've been on,

11
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:39,120
Speaker 1: or any offense that I've been a part of, it's

12
00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:42,519
Speaker 1: been a good formula for us. UM. You know. I

13
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:48,360
Speaker 1: mean we've we've certainly, um tried to adapt our our

14
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:50,879
Speaker 1: style and what we do from week to week to

15
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 1: fit our players the best that we can against the

16
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 1: opponent we're playing. And you know, all credit goes to

17
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:59,480
Speaker 1: the players. You know, they've they've done some good things.

18
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:01,720
Speaker 1: We have a long way to go. We've got a

19
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 1: lot of improvements that we can still make, but you know,

20
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 1: I think they've they've really tried to embrace UM. You

21
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:12,039
Speaker 1: know what we've what we've tried to do the last

22
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:14,760
Speaker 1: so many weeks, they've really worked hard in practice to

23
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 1: improve and collectively, I think we're making some strides and

24
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 1: can you just speak to the to the work of

25
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:24,480
Speaker 1: the offensive line. It's yet another thing that seems to

26
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 1: be coming together quite well right now. Yeah, I think, uh,

27
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 1: you know, we've had some continuity, um, you know up front,

28
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 1: and uh there's a you know, we played some difficult

29
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 1: teams that you know give you some different looks and um,

30
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 1: you know, combinations and those types of things. And I

31
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 1: think anytime you get those those guys in there practicing

32
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 1: together all week and able to play in the games together,

33
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 1: and it's the same guy on your right and your

34
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 1: left that you're communicating with during the course of the

35
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 1: week and during the course of the game, um, you

36
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 1: know it. You know, you build some consistency. Um. And

37
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 1: those guys maybe more than anybody else, they have to work,

38
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 1: you know, completely hand in hand with one another on

39
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 1: every play, so um, you know, they're they're able to

40
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:16,919
Speaker 1: function well as a unit. David does a really good

41
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 1: job of of helping us set the table. But I

42
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 1: think the group is really working hard and growing well

43
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 1: together as we go through the course of the middle

44
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 1: of the season. Next up Matt Vtour than Matt Bill.

45
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 1: Boss Josh Bill said that he was hopeful to have

46
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 1: Sony back this week. Does that create an interesting challenge

47
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:44,079
Speaker 1: as far as is how to strike the right balance

48
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:52,520
Speaker 1: of getting everybody involved but keeping guys in rhythm. I mean,

49
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:54,920
Speaker 1: you know, when you when you have when you have

50
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 1: good players at one position, and um, I think that's

51
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 1: always a good thing for the team. And so looking

52
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:06,639
Speaker 1: forward to that, and Sonny's always been a positive contributor

53
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 1: to our to our offense, and so we'll figure out

54
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 1: exactly how we want to handle all those things when

55
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 1: everybody's healthy and back, and starts with obviously with practice

56
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:19,800
Speaker 1: and what we're able to do there on the practice field,

57
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 1: and and try to go ahead and handle the planning

58
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:28,519
Speaker 1: for the game accordingly if that's the case. And kind

59
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 1: of on the larger pictures, is it you had kind

60
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 1: of expecting to have all these guys coming into the season.

61
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 1: Is it a matter of sort of just dusting off

62
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:39,119
Speaker 1: the plan from the from the beginning of the year

63
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 1: and applying it to the specifics of the games you've

64
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 1: got coming forward. Sure, And I mean, look, the best

65
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 1: thing for our team is competition, you know, and so

66
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 1: I think we have a competitive group of backs. We

67
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 1: have a competitive group in a lot of areas. UM.

68
00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 1: You know, so I think that only makes the players better.

69
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 1: They work hard in practice, UM, they compete to try

70
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 1: to you know, uh find roles during the course of

71
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 1: the week for the game. And uh, you know that's

72
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 1: always been a you know, a really important thing for

73
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:16,719
Speaker 1: our program and our offense is to you know, compete

74
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 1: in practice and it makes you better, makes our team better.

75
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:23,479
Speaker 1: And uh, you know, whatever the roles are in the game, ultimately,

76
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:27,479
Speaker 1: we'll try to figure that out as we go. Thanks us. Huh.

77
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:35,039
Speaker 1: Next up Matt Doloff and Max Mulow one and Josh

78
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:37,920
Speaker 1: so Uh. I guess the Ravens I noticed in twenty

79
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 1: one personnel you tended to mix up the receiver pairings.

80
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 1: I know Jacobe was out there most of the time,

81
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 1: but sometimes he was with Nakeel, sometimes he was he

82
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 1: was with Demir. How much of that was sort of

83
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:50,160
Speaker 1: matchup based or game plan specific or was it more

84
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 1: about just managing the workload of the receivers as that

85
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:58,720
Speaker 1: game went on. Um, I mean not, you know, not

86
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 1: much of it was very you know, there was a

87
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 1: few things here and there that might have been specific,

88
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:06,599
Speaker 1: but you know, just have a lot of confidence in

89
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 1: those guys being able to go in there and do

90
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 1: the things we were asking them to do. You know,

91
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:13,359
Speaker 1: the weather was, you know was what it was. We

92
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 1: all know that, and so it became, you know, type

93
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:19,039
Speaker 1: of game. We were kind of grinding through it, grinding

94
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 1: it out, and so you know a lot of guys,

95
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:25,840
Speaker 1: you know, those three guys rotated in there pretty well

96
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:29,599
Speaker 1: and you know, helped us do some of the things

97
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:31,480
Speaker 1: we were trying to do in a game. So it

98
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 1: wasn't you know, it wasn't always played specific or anything

99
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:37,280
Speaker 1: like that. How important is it to just have the

100
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:39,359
Speaker 1: threat of the pass out of those formations. I know,

101
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 1: the weather it's sort of made up more of a

102
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 1: running game, but how important to be able to make

103
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 1: plays just with those receivers in one on one situations

104
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:51,160
Speaker 1: and play action and things like that. I think it's

105
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:55,080
Speaker 1: always important to compliment what you're you know, statistically, what

106
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 1: you've done. You know, you look at yourself and you

107
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 1: try to evaluate, you know, what you're good at. You've

108
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:03,839
Speaker 1: also understand that the defense is also looking at the

109
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 1: same numbers, so they try to you know, most teams

110
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:09,359
Speaker 1: try to come in and stop the things that you

111
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 1: do the best. So um, you know, in order to

112
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 1: be a productive offense as you move forward through the

113
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:16,920
Speaker 1: course of the season, when you have more tape on

114
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 1: film for everybody to look at, um, you know, it's

115
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 1: important that you're able to compliment and you know, play

116
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 1: off of the things that you've done. So Um, you know,

117
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,160
Speaker 1: made some plays in that area the game the other night,

118
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:33,719
Speaker 1: and we've done that here the last so many weeks.

119
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 1: And we've got to continue to look at ourselves and

120
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 1: ways that we can build off of the things that

121
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 1: we've done and also try to improve on some of

122
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 1: the things we haven't done as well. Max Cerulo than Kargary.

123
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:55,280
Speaker 1: Morning Josh, ask about the the offensive line coaches and specifically,

124
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 1: you know how Colon Carmen Carmen and you know what

125
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 1: their working relationship has been like, the kind of their

126
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 1: dam the dynamic excuse me, the dynamic has been between

127
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:06,279
Speaker 1: the two of them, and you know, in order to

128
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:08,040
Speaker 1: get the results that they've gotten out of that group

129
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 1: so far. Yeah, they worked really hard, um well together

130
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:18,680
Speaker 1: Obviously communications important, UM, you know, they divvy up different

131
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 1: things during the course of the week relative to working

132
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 1: with our players and what they're doing at practice, and um,

133
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 1: you know, there's there's you know, five guys out there

134
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 1: on every play. Sometimes we have six if there's a

135
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 1: jumbo type package and all that. So, um, there's a

136
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 1: lot of coaching to be done. So UM, you know,

137
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 1: Dante's obviously set the bar extremely high here for many

138
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 1: many years, and those guys were fortunate to learn from

139
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 1: Scarum and they've taken, you know, try to take a

140
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 1: lot of the things that he's done and taught them

141
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 1: and taught our players and try to apply them to themselves.

142
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 1: And UM, you know, I've a lot of confidence in

143
00:07:55,600 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 1: those two guys. They work extremely hard to hear early. Um,

144
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 1: you know, they put the coffee on in the morning

145
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 1: when to get here, and uh they're here late at night.

146
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 1: So UM, a lot of respect for what they're doing,

147
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 1: appreciate their effort, and they're obviously making a big contribution to, uh,

148
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 1: you know, any success that we're having as far as

149
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 1: you know, following up Dantakos, I mean, those are pretty

150
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 1: big shoes to fill, and you know the results on

151
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:22,760
Speaker 1: the fields have been pretty good so far. So how

152
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 1: how do you think they've been able to you know,

153
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:27,800
Speaker 1: keep the keep the train rolling at that position, so

154
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:33,719
Speaker 1: to speak. Well, you know, they they know our system,

155
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:35,679
Speaker 1: and they know what we're asking our players to do,

156
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 1: and they try to work and um, you know, and

157
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 1: and get our players up front to use the proper

158
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,360
Speaker 1: techniques and fundamentals, which is where it always starts on

159
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:47,440
Speaker 1: the offensive line really at every position, but very important

160
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:51,080
Speaker 1: for those five guys to play with good footwork, hand placement,

161
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 1: pad level and do it well together and so um,

162
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:58,960
Speaker 1: you know, it just takes consistency. Um. You know, your

163
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,880
Speaker 1: approach has to be very similar from week to week,

164
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 1: you know, because you know, when you do those things

165
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:07,440
Speaker 1: well and you can continue to do them well, you

166
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:11,080
Speaker 1: can have success. And so I think they're you know,

167
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 1: they're well aware of the things that our group upfront

168
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:16,840
Speaker 1: needs to do well to be successful. And they've really

169
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 1: worked hard during the course of the week and at

170
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 1: practice to try to mold those fundamentals and techniques with

171
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 1: our group. And I know our guys are really attentive.

172
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 1: They have a good working relationship with those two the

173
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:33,320
Speaker 1: offensive linemen do and there's a mutual respect there that

174
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:40,839
Speaker 1: they've certainly earned. We'll go to Kara Gargan, then Chris

175
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:48,959
Speaker 1: Ryan Morning, Josh Karen. Just wondering. I have two part question.

176
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 1: The first is I was wondering the genesis of the

177
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 1: Jacobe Myers throwing the football and how long a process

178
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 1: it's been working on it, you know, actually came to fruition. Um,

179
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:09,559
Speaker 1: you know, it's those types of things. Um. You know,

180
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:12,600
Speaker 1: I've I've talked about those types of plays before and

181
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:17,840
Speaker 1: you know, you any anybody can suggest one. It's um.

182
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:21,440
Speaker 1: I think really the important part is is you know,

183
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:25,360
Speaker 1: to get your your guys enough repetitions at itu in

184
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 1: order to gain the trust and faith that during the

185
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:33,440
Speaker 1: course of a game against a real opponent that no

186
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 1: matter what happens on the play, you know they understand

187
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 1: what to do and they can take care of the

188
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:41,440
Speaker 1: football and give yourself a chance to have success. So honestly,

189
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 1: for me, you know, it's never a race to run

190
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 1: one of those. Uh. You just you practice it and

191
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 1: you let the weeks come by, and you know, you

192
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 1: get different looks in practice, and sometimes the best thing

193
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 1: for for those plays is you get a really bad

194
00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:00,439
Speaker 1: look in practice. It's something that could be really you know,

195
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:04,200
Speaker 1: you know, a bad result and your players take care

196
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:05,800
Speaker 1: of the football and do the right thing and make

197
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:08,320
Speaker 1: good decisions, and then you start gaining a lot of

198
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 1: confidence in that because you know, at the end of

199
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 1: the day, we want to try to run good plays

200
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:16,359
Speaker 1: and give ourselves a chance to ask success. And Jacobe

201
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 1: certainly earned my trust on that one. And you know,

202
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:22,559
Speaker 1: and that's through practice, repetition, and so you know, made

203
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 1: a good play in the game. Thought Rex made a

204
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 1: great catch and you know certainly was a big play

205
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 1: for us. The other night, speaking of Rex, how valuable

206
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:36,400
Speaker 1: is it for you as an offensive coordinator to have

207
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 1: somebody like him in your arsenal? Yeah, Rex does so

208
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 1: many things for our football team us. He's one of

209
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 1: the most unselfish players I've ever coached. You know, He's

210
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:53,720
Speaker 1: contributed on every phase in the kicking game. Uh, you know,

211
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:55,679
Speaker 1: he plays whenever you put him in the game. He's

212
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:58,320
Speaker 1: ready to go. Whether it's first down, third down, red

213
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 1: zone too in it, it doesn't make any difference. Rex

214
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 1: is ready to go. He worked really hard to be prepared. Um.

215
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:07,960
Speaker 1: I have a lot of confidence in faith in all

216
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 1: our backs and Rex certainly has a skill set that

217
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:14,920
Speaker 1: allows you to use him in different ways, he's run

218
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:17,320
Speaker 1: the ball very effectively this year. He's called the ball

219
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 1: to the backfield, he's picked up the blitz. I mean again,

220
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:24,800
Speaker 1: there's there's not a lot of things that Rex doesn't

221
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:28,560
Speaker 1: do well and Rex's Rex has made himself that kind

222
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:30,360
Speaker 1: of player with the way he works and how he

223
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 1: approaches each week, and um, he's a very valuable piece

224
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:40,200
Speaker 1: to our team. Thank you, Josh. Two final questions, one

225
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 1: from Chris Ryan and Evan Lazar Warn And Josh wanted

226
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 1: to ask you about I want to ask you about

227
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:51,280
Speaker 1: Cam on the issue of accountability and what that's been

228
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:54,160
Speaker 1: like behind the scenes and the lessons you think that

229
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:57,719
Speaker 1: that may exhibit for younger players, not just that he

230
00:12:57,800 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 1: you know, called himself out and said he wasn't playing well,

231
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:03,080
Speaker 1: but then he seemingly put the work in to change that.

232
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 1: What do you think cam struggles and turnaround mean for

233
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:12,959
Speaker 1: your your group collectively? Yeah, I think Cam's a tremendous

234
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:18,200
Speaker 1: example of what a leader is supposed to be. You know,

235
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:21,959
Speaker 1: leadership isn't easy, and being out in front and playing

236
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:24,719
Speaker 1: quarterback in the National Football League certainly a challenge, and

237
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 1: there's a lot of highs and lows, and that you're

238
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:31,439
Speaker 1: going to experience. But Cam, you know, he's never wavered

239
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:34,520
Speaker 1: from his work ethic, from his attitude, from the way

240
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:37,120
Speaker 1: he approaches practice, the effort that he gives on a

241
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:40,800
Speaker 1: daily basis, whether it be a meeting, a film session,

242
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 1: a walkthrough, or any part of what we're doing on

243
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:49,720
Speaker 1: the field. He is unselfish. He is accountable for any

244
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 1: mistake that he makes. He's incredibly honest, and communication with

245
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:58,760
Speaker 1: Cam is literally you know, this is exactly the kind

246
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:01,680
Speaker 1: of communication you're looking or when you're a coach, you

247
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:04,360
Speaker 1: ask a question, you get an honest response. If he

248
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:08,200
Speaker 1: made a mistake, he tells you what it was, which, again,

249
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 1: there's no better example for younger players than to see

250
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:15,080
Speaker 1: a guy do that. So you know, when you work

251
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 1: hard and you're doing the right things, you know, generally speaking,

252
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:21,640
Speaker 1: you're going to improve. And I think we've seen some

253
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 1: progress from Cam. Certainly we can improve in a lot

254
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 1: of areas as we move forward, but I think his accountability,

255
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:34,280
Speaker 1: his ability to take responsibility for you know, the good

256
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:37,120
Speaker 1: and the bad, I think has been a great example

257
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 1: for all of our guys on our team to see,

258
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:44,040
Speaker 1: and you know, really a joy the coach and look

259
00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:46,000
Speaker 1: forward to continuing the process. You know, we've got a

260
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 1: long way to go, a lot of things we can

261
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 1: improve on. I know he's certainly, you know, he's ready

262
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:55,960
Speaker 1: for the challenge of that this week again, and I'm

263
00:14:55,960 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 1: sure we're going to get his best effort. Thanks the

264
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:05,040
Speaker 1: last question to Evan Lazar. Hey, Josh, I'm just noticed

265
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:07,920
Speaker 1: over the last you know, a couple of weeks, you

266
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 1: guys have been using a lot of condensed splits and

267
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 1: stuff like that with your wide receivers, and Jacobe has

268
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:14,960
Speaker 1: gotten open a bunch of times off those. I was

269
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 1: just wondering, you know how you see the advantages of

270
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 1: those both you know, blocking and also running routes from

271
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:26,280
Speaker 1: those types of splits. Yeah, there's, uh, you know, there's

272
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:29,640
Speaker 1: challenges both ways. Um. You know, if you put yourself

273
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 1: in a tighter formation tight splits, there's certain things you

274
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:36,080
Speaker 1: might be able to help with in the running game, um,

275
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:38,640
Speaker 1: you know. And and then there's also different looks you

276
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:41,720
Speaker 1: get from the defense too, you know, I mean, um,

277
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:44,520
Speaker 1: if the if you're if the press the corners up there,

278
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:46,600
Speaker 1: press that they'll want of scrimmage. Sometimes there's less space

279
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:49,840
Speaker 1: than maneuver. There's a lot of bodies inside when you

280
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:53,320
Speaker 1: release inside, So you got to navigate those, um, so

281
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:56,120
Speaker 1: that you don't get bumped off your route. Um you know,

282
00:15:56,240 --> 00:16:00,240
Speaker 1: so sometimes they play off and there's some combination that

283
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:02,960
Speaker 1: may exist based on what the what type of coverage

284
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 1: they're playing that you've got to have to read, which

285
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 1: Jacobe's actually done a pretty good job of that all season.

286
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:11,040
Speaker 1: UM you know, So, UM, you know, you try to

287
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:15,240
Speaker 1: mix them in. Uh. There there's some effectiveness relative to

288
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:17,920
Speaker 1: ability to to run bok. There's also some things you

289
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 1: can do in the passing game. UM. And then at

290
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 1: the same time, like I said, sometimes it's just window

291
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 1: dressing on other things, and you know, you you put

292
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:28,560
Speaker 1: them in there and make the defense honor what they

293
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 1: could do even though they're not going to do it

294
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:32,960
Speaker 1: on every snap. So, UM, you know, you got to

295
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:35,720
Speaker 1: look at those things and try to continue to um

296
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 1: you know, self scout yourself. But that's always played a

297
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 1: big role in here. Julian's played a lot in there

298
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:43,760
Speaker 1: over the course of his time, and we've had other

299
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:45,880
Speaker 1: guys that have really excelled in those roles where they've

300
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:49,080
Speaker 1: been tied to the formation and our guys understand we're

301
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 1: trying to get out of them and um, and they've

302
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:53,520
Speaker 1: done a good job of of being in those positions

303
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:58,640
Speaker 1: to try to help us succeed. Thank you, Josh, yep,

304
00:16:59,120 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 1: Thanks guys,
