WEBVTT - Fred Warner on Setting a High Standard During Practice | Press Pass

0:00:00.160 --> 0:00:03.760
<v Speaker 1>Obviously a pretty new Z day. As far as what's

0:00:03.800 --> 0:00:07.320
<v Speaker 1>going on with the quarterback position, as when the team leaders,

0:00:07.400 --> 0:00:09.920
<v Speaker 1>what's kind of been your your take on it and

0:00:10.520 --> 0:00:13.600
<v Speaker 1>kind of gauge the temperature of the locker room right now.

0:00:14.520 --> 0:00:18.360
<v Speaker 2>I mean, honestly, I don't know much about the situation,

0:00:18.800 --> 0:00:21.640
<v Speaker 2>Like complete honesty. I came out to practice. I saw

0:00:21.680 --> 0:00:23.759
<v Speaker 2>there's only three quarterbacks out there. Tray's not out there,

0:00:23.840 --> 0:00:26.759
<v Speaker 2>so I mean, I'm trying to ask around what's going on.

0:00:26.880 --> 0:00:30.840
<v Speaker 2>There's not a clear answer right now. Obviously, love Trey.

0:00:31.320 --> 0:00:32.919
<v Speaker 2>I don't know what's going on with them right now

0:00:33.000 --> 0:00:37.120
<v Speaker 2>or what's what's gonna be next. But yeah, we just

0:00:37.120 --> 0:00:39.920
<v Speaker 2>gotta keep preparing, get ready, we have game on Friday,

0:00:40.240 --> 0:00:43.640
<v Speaker 2>keep preparing towards Pittsburg. Getting better. But with the Q stuff,

0:00:43.680 --> 0:00:46.720
<v Speaker 2>I'm not I'm honestly not even sure what exactly is

0:00:46.760 --> 0:00:47.080
<v Speaker 2>going on.

0:00:47.200 --> 0:00:50.320
<v Speaker 3>So life in the NFL you kind of focus on

0:00:50.760 --> 0:00:55.040
<v Speaker 3>next day preparation and don't concern yourself with your teammates

0:00:55.040 --> 0:00:56.080
<v Speaker 3>and that that kind of thing.

0:00:56.320 --> 0:00:59.040
<v Speaker 2>I mean, yeah, there's so much that goes on behind

0:00:59.040 --> 0:01:01.560
<v Speaker 2>the scenes that you honestly don't even know about it. Obviously,

0:01:01.640 --> 0:01:03.520
<v Speaker 2>there's a football part of it. There's a business part

0:01:03.520 --> 0:01:05.200
<v Speaker 2>of it. There's things that you can't control and that

0:01:05.280 --> 0:01:07.800
<v Speaker 2>you can control. My my biggest thing is always controlling

0:01:07.840 --> 0:01:10.360
<v Speaker 2>the controllables. Uh, doing what I can to be the

0:01:10.360 --> 0:01:14.240
<v Speaker 2>best player, best teammate, best leader I can for our team.

0:01:14.319 --> 0:01:16.120
<v Speaker 2>So we just got to control we can control. At

0:01:16.160 --> 0:01:22.600
<v Speaker 2>this point, what were the unclear answers? You've got to

0:01:22.640 --> 0:01:26.440
<v Speaker 2>be honest, I don't really even know. It's honestly just

0:01:26.440 --> 0:01:28.440
<v Speaker 2>like a cloud right now. I'm not even sure. Like

0:01:28.480 --> 0:01:29.960
<v Speaker 2>it was just weird seeing three guys out there. I

0:01:30.000 --> 0:01:31.960
<v Speaker 2>didn't know which trade was so and it was not

0:01:32.080 --> 0:01:33.520
<v Speaker 2>like it was kind of It wasn't something that would

0:01:33.520 --> 0:01:35.920
<v Speaker 2>have to be addressed. It was another workday to go

0:01:36.040 --> 0:01:38.360
<v Speaker 2>out there and get better. And I know they'll handle

0:01:38.440 --> 0:01:39.600
<v Speaker 2>that however they need to handle it.

0:01:41.880 --> 0:01:45.279
<v Speaker 4>What have you seen from from Sham going up against

0:01:45.440 --> 0:01:49.120
<v Speaker 4>Tam this summer? Have you seen progress in the in

0:01:49.240 --> 0:01:50.000
<v Speaker 4>the practices?

0:01:50.400 --> 0:01:53.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Sam's looked good. I've really liked how he's progressed.

0:01:53.800 --> 0:01:57.080
<v Speaker 2>I think obviously being a veteran at the position, the

0:01:57.240 --> 0:02:00.320
<v Speaker 2>arm talent isn't is insane, you know. See that was

0:02:00.360 --> 0:02:01.840
<v Speaker 2>the reason why he was drafted as as he was

0:02:01.920 --> 0:02:03.720
<v Speaker 2>back when me and him both came out in eighteen.

0:02:05.440 --> 0:02:07.120
<v Speaker 2>But I think he's I think he's looked good. I

0:02:07.120 --> 0:02:09.760
<v Speaker 2>think he's continued to get better every day.

0:02:10.720 --> 0:02:12.840
<v Speaker 3>On the arm talent part, I mean just.

0:02:12.880 --> 0:02:15.040
<v Speaker 2>Being able to make like some crazy looking throws. You know,

0:02:15.160 --> 0:02:17.000
<v Speaker 2>like some guys can just flick the football with these,

0:02:17.040 --> 0:02:20.000
<v Speaker 2>and he's one of those guys. You know, he's always

0:02:20.000 --> 0:02:21.560
<v Speaker 2>I think his biggest thing is always trying to make

0:02:21.600 --> 0:02:24.400
<v Speaker 2>sure he's improving on his decision making and getting the

0:02:24.400 --> 0:02:26.239
<v Speaker 2>ball where it needs to be protecting the football. But

0:02:26.360 --> 0:02:28.440
<v Speaker 2>I mean he can make every throw in the book.

0:02:30.960 --> 0:02:33.919
<v Speaker 4>You consider yourself a leader out there in terms of

0:02:34.040 --> 0:02:38.359
<v Speaker 4>setting tempo and such. Have you seen the kind of tempo, professionalism,

0:02:38.440 --> 0:02:40.760
<v Speaker 4>everything you want to see out of this camp from

0:02:41.200 --> 0:02:41.880
<v Speaker 4>beginning to now.

0:02:42.600 --> 0:02:45.959
<v Speaker 2>Just as as a team, Yeah, yeah, I like it.

0:02:46.040 --> 0:02:48.400
<v Speaker 2>I love exactly where we are right now. I think

0:02:48.960 --> 0:02:51.160
<v Speaker 2>we just got to keep building to be the best

0:02:51.200 --> 0:02:54.200
<v Speaker 2>team we can for Week one Pittsburgh, making sure we

0:02:54.280 --> 0:02:56.880
<v Speaker 2>have the best fifty three obviously the best practice aquad

0:02:56.919 --> 0:03:00.400
<v Speaker 2>we can get. I think we've grown up a team,

0:03:00.560 --> 0:03:02.760
<v Speaker 2>you know, going into that pre that second pre or

0:03:02.800 --> 0:03:05.000
<v Speaker 2>that first preseason game against the Raiders, you know, I

0:03:05.040 --> 0:03:07.320
<v Speaker 2>think that was a good little kind of check for us,

0:03:07.360 --> 0:03:08.919
<v Speaker 2>a little gut check to see where we were at

0:03:09.440 --> 0:03:12.680
<v Speaker 2>and grow from it. I like how we competed last

0:03:12.720 --> 0:03:14.800
<v Speaker 2>week in that preseason game, and we're just gonna keep climbing,

0:03:14.960 --> 0:03:15.320
<v Speaker 2>keep going.

0:03:15.960 --> 0:03:16.640
<v Speaker 1>A lot o the.

0:03:16.760 --> 0:03:19.480
<v Speaker 4>Coaches players have talked about, like looking back at last.

0:03:19.320 --> 0:03:23.600
<v Speaker 3>Year, Purty's fearlessness like at Deebo City, saw like the

0:03:23.680 --> 0:03:25.399
<v Speaker 3>second preseason gave me Houston.

0:03:25.120 --> 0:03:25.400
<v Speaker 2>It's like.

0:03:27.000 --> 0:03:27.280
<v Speaker 1>Before.

0:03:28.280 --> 0:03:31.639
<v Speaker 4>But I mean, did that stand out that he was

0:03:31.760 --> 0:03:33.519
<v Speaker 4>given his situation and didn't.

0:03:33.360 --> 0:03:36.560
<v Speaker 3>Look uh like a you know, mister relevant.

0:03:37.640 --> 0:03:39.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean I I've spoken on it. You guys

0:03:39.400 --> 0:03:41.000
<v Speaker 2>know how I feel about Party and what I saw

0:03:41.080 --> 0:03:42.760
<v Speaker 2>from him early on. Did I think that he was

0:03:42.800 --> 0:03:44.440
<v Speaker 2>gonna become the player that he did throughout the p

0:03:44.680 --> 0:03:47.280
<v Speaker 2>like the po uh end of the season in postseason

0:03:47.320 --> 0:03:49.000
<v Speaker 2>last year. No, I don't think anybody could have seen

0:03:49.040 --> 0:03:52.000
<v Speaker 2>that coming. You know, the poison, the the ability to

0:03:52.560 --> 0:03:54.120
<v Speaker 2>to play the position the way he did, and so

0:03:54.600 --> 0:03:56.760
<v Speaker 2>for him, it's just about stacking it, you know, overcoming

0:03:56.800 --> 0:03:58.839
<v Speaker 2>this injury that he had to rehab and go through

0:03:59.360 --> 0:04:02.160
<v Speaker 2>and being a you know, continuing to just grow. He's

0:04:02.360 --> 0:04:04.240
<v Speaker 2>obviously super young and I I love the w his

0:04:04.320 --> 0:04:06.720
<v Speaker 2>demeanor out there, the way that he prepares and goes

0:04:06.720 --> 0:04:09.320
<v Speaker 2>about his craft. So this guy's a limit.

0:04:10.600 --> 0:04:14.600
<v Speaker 3>Pray yesterday yesterday and practice you and you and Mason

0:04:14.640 --> 0:04:16.120
<v Speaker 3>got into it a little bit, and then Demo and

0:04:16.240 --> 0:04:18.960
<v Speaker 3>Mason got into it. Do you look at yourself as

0:04:19.040 --> 0:04:21.960
<v Speaker 3>kind of the emotional tone setter of that defense at

0:04:22.279 --> 0:04:24.240
<v Speaker 3>and do you have a certain standard that you want

0:04:24.279 --> 0:04:27.039
<v Speaker 3>to see the rest of the defense play too, Yeah.

0:04:26.839 --> 0:04:30.599
<v Speaker 2>One hundred percent. You know it's laden camp. I want

0:04:30.880 --> 0:04:32.680
<v Speaker 2>like it's it was. I knew what type of day

0:04:32.760 --> 0:04:36.360
<v Speaker 2>was gonna be going into yesterday, high day, high reps,

0:04:36.760 --> 0:04:38.880
<v Speaker 2>full pads on for who knows how many days that

0:04:38.960 --> 0:04:41.480
<v Speaker 2>we've been having passed on throughout camp. So you know,

0:04:41.520 --> 0:04:43.320
<v Speaker 2>I just wanted to kind of get guy's minds right

0:04:43.400 --> 0:04:44.680
<v Speaker 2>for the type of day that we were gonna have

0:04:44.880 --> 0:04:47.440
<v Speaker 2>nothing against Mason at all. It's just you know, me

0:04:47.560 --> 0:04:49.760
<v Speaker 2>trying to set the tone for the practice and uh,

0:04:50.520 --> 0:04:52.800
<v Speaker 2>everybody getting each other better. Obviously, Like you said, we

0:04:52.839 --> 0:04:54.400
<v Speaker 2>do have a standard on defense that we need to

0:04:54.480 --> 0:04:58.680
<v Speaker 2>upkeep and we just gotta keep working right. Thank you guy,
