1
00:00:00,960 --> 00:00:03,279
Speaker 1: You never want to see guys get injured, especially up front.

2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:07,000
Speaker 2: It's kind of like my livelihood, our livelihood and run game,

3
00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:10,120
Speaker 2: pass game, everything. You know, you go as your as

4
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:13,040
Speaker 2: your front goes offensively and defensively, so you never want

5
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:14,200
Speaker 2: to see guys get banged up.

6
00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:16,360
Speaker 1: You know, hopefully you get those guys back as fast

7
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:17,000
Speaker 1: as possible.

8
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:19,919
Speaker 2: I think they've done a great job all training camp

9
00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:23,000
Speaker 2: of playing well whoever's in there, playing together and meshing.

10
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:26,480
Speaker 1: And then now it's like everyone's kind of swapping.

11
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:28,280
Speaker 2: Around, moving positions, trying to learn everything, and I think

12
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:29,440
Speaker 2: the guys have done a great job with that.

13
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:31,319
Speaker 1: But obviously you want your guys healthy, so.

14
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:34,519
Speaker 2: Hopefully they can't get back quick and definitely just the

15
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:36,080
Speaker 2: next man up always has to be ready. I think

16
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:37,000
Speaker 2: it's a good example of that.

17
00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:39,360
Speaker 3: Can you just talk a little bit about your level

18
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:43,000
Speaker 3: of readiness going into the last pre season game as

19
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:45,760
Speaker 3: to where you were this year last year when with

20
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 3: you know, a year with Doug system all that stuff.

21
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 2: I feel really good. I think, you know, we've built

22
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 2: a lot of chemistry even more in this training camp.

23
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:54,840
Speaker 2: You know, I obviously had a lot with the guys

24
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:56,240
Speaker 2: that were here last year and then think me and

25
00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 2: Calvin are just clicking more and more every day. So

26
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 2: I think it's been really great. We've got some great

27
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 2: work in. I like the direction that we're head and

28
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 2: just got to keep getting better every day. You know,

29
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 2: it's such a long season. You just got to get

30
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:12,679
Speaker 2: better every day every week. Huh So, But I like,

31
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 2: I like where we're at right now. We got to

32
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 2: keep getting better and this will be a good, good

33
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 2: little challenge for us. Get some get in there, get

34
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:19,840
Speaker 2: some good reps on on Saturday against Miami.

35
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:23,480
Speaker 1: Your conference is sky high at this point.

36
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 2: What's the number one reason for that?

37
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:27,760
Speaker 4: Is it second year in the offense or just the

38
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:29,400
Speaker 4: natural progression of where it would be.

39
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:31,399
Speaker 1: I think it's I think it's a lot of things.

40
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 2: I think, like you said, second year in the offense,

41
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 2: just that consistency, just the communication from myself and Coach

42
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 2: Peterson and Press and the whole offensive staff. I think

43
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 2: we have a really clear vision of what we want

44
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 2: and what we kind of what our objectives are, and

45
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 2: the things that I think we have a better idea

46
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 2: too of like what we're good at and offensively what

47
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:51,560
Speaker 2: we want to try to do. So we're in a

48
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 2: good spot there, and then just the the rapport with

49
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 2: the guys. You know, I think offensively, whether it's receivers,

50
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 2: tight ends, running backs, all those guys, we're just a

51
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 2: close group and I think with that that gives everybody confidence.

52
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 2: You know, you can count on the guy next to you.

53
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:09,360
Speaker 2: And the guys have played well, performed really well, and

54
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 2: even our depth throughout the preseason has looked great. So

55
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 2: it's just encouraging for everybody. Everybody feels like they can

56
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:16,360
Speaker 2: go play free and just like where we're at right

57
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 2: now that.

58
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 5: He felt like after the Cowboys game, having just qu drives,

59
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:23,079
Speaker 5: he would have taken a third, kind of get lathered

60
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:24,799
Speaker 5: up a little bit more. Did you feel that way?

61
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:28,360
Speaker 5: And Roy said that on the defensive side, would you

62
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 5: say similar vibes for you, Slash? How do you feel

63
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 5: about a quarter plus like Doug is predicting you guys

64
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 5: could play on Saturday.

65
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's kind of it's kind of a tough situation.

66
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:40,359
Speaker 2: It's like, you want to obviously keep everybody healthy, and

67
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 2: we've had a couple couple dings, so you want to

68
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 2: keep everybody healthy, but then again, you want to get

69
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 2: reps and you want to you know, get in a

70
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 2: rhythm and then it's like two drives in. That's when

71
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 2: you just kind of start to get a rhythm and

72
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:51,920
Speaker 2: then you come out and so it's like, what's the

73
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 2: best thing, you know, it's kind of a fine line,

74
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 2: and I think our coaches have done a great job

75
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 2: of handling that. So it'll be good to get a

76
00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 2: little bit more work this week. And you know what,

77
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 2: however much that up being just just go play well.

78
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 2: I think that's the biggest thing for us. Let's be clean,

79
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:06,680
Speaker 2: let's execute, take advantage of all the possessions that we

80
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 2: get offensively, and just go through our plan and execute.

81
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 2: So I think that's the main focus. You want to

82
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 2: feel good about that, especially the last one going into

83
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 2: the regular season. Let's end on a good note and

84
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 2: kind of get ready for the season. How different is

85
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:21,399
Speaker 2: the prep this week? Everybody's game plan all their life,

86
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 2: but how much of an actual game plan is there

87
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 2: on the dress for Arsenal game? Yeah, I mean preseason

88
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 2: you try not to. I guess I don't know if

89
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 2: everybody's different. I'm assuming everyone's a little different, a little similar.

90
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 2: They're not a ton of game plan and obviously you

91
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 2: want to this one more so than others. You try

92
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 2: to do what you think is good versus those looks.

93
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 2: But you're not crazy scheming, putting in a ton of

94
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 2: new plays, doing any of that like you might do

95
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 2: in a regular game, regular season game, you know, So

96
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 2: that's different. But I think you are, especially now that

97
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 2: we're going to get more reps, you are trying to

98
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 2: maybe fit our offense to the defense, you know, defensive

99
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 2: scheme you're going against. More so than the other games.

100
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 2: You might just call our base stuff and kind of

101
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 2: see what happens against different looks. This one, we're kind

102
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 2: of trying to match it up a little bit better.

103
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 3: Five yards passing need anything to you when you consider

104
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 3: the list of guys who will hit that numb yeah.

105
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 2: I'm not sure who's on that list. Probably, I mean, yeah,

106
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 2: I mean that would be great. I think, you know,

107
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 2: I'm honestly not a huge stats guy. I think it

108
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 2: tells part of the story. But I think if we

109
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 2: were to do that, that means we had a really

110
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 2: good year offensively, So I think that would be that'd

111
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 2: be really good. But like I said, I don't really

112
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 2: think about stats too much, you know. I think usually

113
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 2: that does tell part of the story of if you're

114
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:40,479
Speaker 2: a good offense or not, usually you're going to have

115
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 2: good stats, whether that's yards, passing yards, rushing yards, all that.

116
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 2: You know, kind of like it started to line up

117
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 2: for us last year. But really the focus is on

118
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 2: winning whatever whatever it takes to do that. But if

119
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 2: that comes with it, that would be that'd be cool.

120
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 4: Clean was the goal, you know, his goal for Saturday

121
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 4: night was the kid clean.

122
00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 2: What does that look like to you? I think, you know,

123
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,480
Speaker 2: unlike the for just no turnovers, you know, not a

124
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:04,160
Speaker 2: lot of penalties, which I think the guys at a

125
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 2: really good job of cleaning that up from week one

126
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:08,359
Speaker 2: to week two of the preseason. So you know, not

127
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 2: a lot of penalties, no turnovers. Let's just execute our assignment,

128
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:15,719
Speaker 2: you know, block the look or whatever, execute the concept

129
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:18,160
Speaker 2: that we're running. Let's be sharp's you know, I miss

130
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 2: a bunch of throws on Ivan drops, any of that stuff.

131
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 2: I think just when you look at the game, let's

132
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 2: just be polished. Let's move quickly in and now the huddle,

133
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 2: you know, and just execute. I think that's what you're

134
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 2: looking to do. And obviously that never there's no no

135
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:31,840
Speaker 2: game's gonna go perfect. So there's gonna be some things

136
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 2: that you gotta you know, work around in some obstacles.

137
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:36,279
Speaker 2: But I think that's the main idea, just be clean

138
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 2: and execute.

139
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:39,480
Speaker 4: It's the part of camp where guys are really fighting

140
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:42,599
Speaker 4: for spies, those into Rustler spies. Would you ever go

141
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:44,920
Speaker 4: to trindor Doug and have a conversation about a guy

142
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:47,240
Speaker 4: that you really like or is that something that you

143
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:49,040
Speaker 4: just leave up to them, you.

144
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 2: Know, having it up until this point, you know, if

145
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 2: there's something there's I mean more casual conversations I think

146
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:56,360
Speaker 2: about players just throughout camp. You know who's who's having

147
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 2: a good camp? What do you think of this guy?

148
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 2: Especially at skill guys, you know that'll be you know

149
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:02,719
Speaker 2: mentioned to me. But it's not a sit down where

150
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 2: I'm going in there and necessarily stand on the table.

151
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:07,280
Speaker 2: You know, if people are asking me what I think

152
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 2: about about someone, I would definitely tell them and give

153
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:11,479
Speaker 2: my opinion. And I think they value what I what

154
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 2: I think. But no, I don't. I wouldn't say I

155
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:18,599
Speaker 2: play a huge part in that. Just no, not really.

156
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:22,839
Speaker 5: How much do you find yourself trying things out in

157
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 5: practice this year compared to last year, whether that's long

158
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:28,280
Speaker 5: goals whether that's just trying something new with the receiver

159
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 5: as opposed to the season ago.

160
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I try to. I try to play

161
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 2: practice like a game from the standpoint of my decision making.

162
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 2: But there are some times where say, you got you know,

163
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 2: Calvin one on one, single, single receiver to the boundary

164
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 2: or whatever, and you got a shot with him, and

165
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 2: you know, in the game, I might work my concept

166
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 2: to the field because I like the leverage for whoever

167
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 2: you know the in the matchup over there. But I

168
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:53,840
Speaker 2: haven't got a ton of reps with Calvin up until

169
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:55,480
Speaker 2: this training camp, so I might want to work that

170
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:57,480
Speaker 2: you know, one on one route to him or whatever

171
00:06:57,520 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 2: it may be. So I think that's changed a little

172
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 2: bit for me, of just getting to know him and

173
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:03,360
Speaker 2: working that stuff, kind of overdoing some of that so

174
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 2: we can get our chemistry up to speed like I

175
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 2: have with the other guys, and I think it's paid off.

176
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 2: I think it's really it's really getting better and better

177
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 2: every day. I feel like we're starting to click, we're

178
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:13,120
Speaker 2: starting to get on the same page and just constant

179
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 2: conversation with him, and he's given me a lot of

180
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 2: feedback on things that he's done in the past and

181
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 2: that he does well, and so I'd say I do

182
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 2: more of that, And even with other guys, if it's

183
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 2: a new route, like we're going against our defense, it

184
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 2: might not be the best look for that, but I

185
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 2: still want to get the rep of working that new

186
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 2: route that we're running instead of just going to the

187
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:31,680
Speaker 2: other side because I didn't like the coverage. You know,

188
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 2: I might try to try to give that extra look

189
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 2: just to get it done.

190
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 5: How much have you enjoyed Slash maybe razzled him a

191
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 5: little bit about Nate with the throw against the Cowboys

192
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 5: and his new found stardom if you may online, Yeah,

193
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 5: and among the fan base, yeah, I mean.

194
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 2: The great Canadian. He's done a great job. Man, A

195
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 2: guy works really hard, he does, so it's cool to

196
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 2: see him have success. And obviously everybody's been talking about

197
00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 2: that play against Dallas, and he had another broke couple

198
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 2: tax against Detroit and had that ball you threw on

199
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 2: the sideline to the earnest. I mean, he's had some

200
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 2: great plays and that's what you gotta do. Guys, Guys

201
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,880
Speaker 2: looking looking to you know, stick in the league and

202
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 2: you know, get a spot. And I think he's played

203
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:13,600
Speaker 2: really well, and it's been impressive to watch him just

204
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 2: work and every day in practice he's like that too,

205
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 2: just really committed, works super hard, and I know Guy's

206
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 2: got a lot of respect.

207
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 1: For him to be back in the bank.

208
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 2: I can't wait. First, first one. Next time we'll be

209
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 2: in here, what week two, Kansas City, So that'll be

210
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:32,760
Speaker 2: be fun, be fun, seven o'clock games, a little late

211
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 2: for preseason game, it'd be, it'd be. It'll be good though.

212
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 2: It'd be good to see the bank packed. Won't be

213
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:39,040
Speaker 2: as hot, so I am kind of happy about that,

214
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 2: so that'd be good.

215
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:41,560
Speaker 1: All right, Thanks, all right,
