Obviously they don't have free like 70 00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:23,680 Speaker 12: that offense.

We think very 75 00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:33,120 Speaker 3: highly of their tight end room. That whole group is 76 00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:37,160 Speaker 3: really good. They have weapons, they always spread the ball around. 77 00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:40,040 Speaker 3: That's kind of their pass attack is not focused on 78 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:40,839 Speaker 3: one person. 79 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:44,200 Speaker 2: Coming up.

Uh, 97 00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 3: they had a three headed monster back then, so Deuce 98 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:30,200 Speaker 3: has kind of seen it all.

Where did that come from? 124 00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:44,240 Speaker 3: And you know why he's not supposed to be giving 125 00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:48,200 Speaker 3: away my secrets not exactly the same word, but for 126 00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:51,000 Speaker 3: the sake of the argument, just feel like it's important 127 00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:55,200 Speaker 3: for our team to be understand to understand that this 128 00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:58,200 Speaker 3: is a team game and we need to do things 129 00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:01,200 Speaker 3: that set our teammates up. And uh, you know, we 130 00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:03,000 Speaker 3: need our defense to set up our offense just like 131 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:04,599 Speaker 3: we need our offense to set up our defense. And 132 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:07,560 Speaker 3: special teams are so big when you're talking about field positions. 133 00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:08,919 Speaker 5: So just making a point. 134 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:12,400 Speaker 3: About how we need each other in this team sport, uh, 135 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:16,560 Speaker 3: and how this it works on Sundays when you can feed. 136 00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:19,159 Speaker 5: Off of each other complimenting for so far. 137 00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:20,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not going to give it away. It was 138 00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:24,560 Speaker 3: somebody got fined for one of the compliments. It was 139 00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:26,800 Speaker 3: a coach too, Tommy Reese. 140 00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:30,120 Speaker 2: You talked about the Packers offensive scheme the other day, 141 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,599 Speaker 2: you were you were complimenting it. What do you like 142 00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,640 Speaker 2: best about what woul they do over their skinematic? 143 00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:39,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, Coach Lafour has always done a great job really 144 00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:41,320 Speaker 3: going back to when he was a coordinator and then 145 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:44,640 Speaker 3: they're in Green Bay. They they really do believe in 146 00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:46,320 Speaker 3: the marriage of the run in the pass, and that 147 00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:50,200 Speaker 3: comes true with with their run game and their play actions. 148 00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:54,120 Speaker 3: They do an excellent job of pre snap motion with 149 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:57,400 Speaker 3: wide receivers, with tight ends, with running backs. So there's 150 00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:00,119 Speaker 3: just a lot that goes into it. And ultimately, with 151 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:02,560 Speaker 3: offensive football, you're trying to make it look hard on 152 00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:04,840 Speaker 3: the defense and be simple for you, and I think 153 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:07,160 Speaker 3: I'm sure the way they teach it, it's simple for them, 154 00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:08,840 Speaker 3: but it does present challenges. 155 00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:13,560 Speaker 6: Correct think, and they also have read out. What do 156 00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:15,080 Speaker 6: you think that means for their offense? 157 00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:21,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, I would kind of when you look at their offense, 158 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:24,880 Speaker 3: Mary Kay, I think that there have great players across 159 00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:27,080 Speaker 3: the board that they do a really good job of 160 00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:31,320 Speaker 3: spreading the ball around. They have talented players at all 161 00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:34,400 Speaker 3: positions that touch it. So just kind of to the 162 00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:37,680 Speaker 3: previous point, it's very sound system, So it's not I 163 00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:40,720 Speaker 3: don't think their offense, or like our offense, is about 164 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:41,200 Speaker 3: one person. 165 00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:45,240 Speaker 8: I think the CBS broadcast for the last game said that, 166 00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:47,920 Speaker 8: in regards to your rookie quarterback involvement, if you have 167 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,160 Speaker 8: an air type plan down to the minute. 168 00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:51,000 Speaker 2: I was curious. 169 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:53,320 Speaker 8: You know, it's one thing to have one rookie quarterback 170 00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:55,120 Speaker 8: in the room, to have it too and even Bailey 171 00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:58,480 Speaker 8: as like a semi young quarterback. Are you drawing from 172 00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:01,160 Speaker 8: any influence when when a kind of creating that. 173 00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,200 Speaker 5: Plan for development from what was that? 174 00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:05,680 Speaker 8: Do you have any influences from your past when it 175 00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:09,160 Speaker 8: comes to, you know, creating the plan to develop these guys, 176 00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:09,800 Speaker 8: even women are not. 177 00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:12,600 Speaker 5: Playing, not necessarily. 178 00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:15,000 Speaker 3: I think the big thing for us, it goes back 179 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:20,320 Speaker 3: to that intentionality of what we do. And that's Bill Musgrave, 180 00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:24,680 Speaker 3: that's Tommy Reese, that's our player development team. Everybody understanding 181 00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:27,800 Speaker 3: that we're bringing our guys along and it may mean 182 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,040 Speaker 3: it may on one day, mean meetings may on one 183 00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:34,200 Speaker 3: day mean a physical individual drill if you will at 184 00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:36,960 Speaker 3: practice while this side's doing this, these guys are doing that. 185 00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:40,160 Speaker 3: So just like a big picture, being very intentional about 186 00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:41,360 Speaker 3: every minute that you have. 187 00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:45,800 Speaker 5: If Tucker can Craft can't go, maybe you done. 188 00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:48,280 Speaker 4: You're going to see a lot of Luke Musgrave, how 189 00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:51,520 Speaker 4: much as is his uncle give. 190 00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:55,840 Speaker 3: Him pretty pretty special there for Coach Musk to have 191 00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:58,880 Speaker 3: his nephew plane on Sunday. 192 00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:00,960 Speaker 5: You know, speaks for very highly of the young man. 193 00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:05,120 Speaker 3: As you would imagine, I did threaten that must would 194 00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:07,400 Speaker 3: play him in practice this week and put a jersey 195 00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:10,160 Speaker 3: on him. But yeah, it's a pretty special moment for 196 00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:11,040 Speaker 3: their for their family. 197 00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:14,880 Speaker 14: Of the four early Induces Tenure were band of him 198 00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:18,679 Speaker 14: growing what's it been like working within knowing that you 199 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:20,400 Speaker 14: have that you had that connection to him as kid. 200 00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:23,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, Deuce and I have a lot of mutual friends 201 00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:26,720 Speaker 3: in the business, and so I knew a lot about 202 00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:29,640 Speaker 3: him obviously growing up, but also as a professional in 203 00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:33,000 Speaker 3: this in this profession as a coach, I should say, Uh, 204 00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:34,800 Speaker 3: we've both worked with a lot of the same people, 205 00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:37,760 Speaker 3: and just who he is every day is the same 206 00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:39,920 Speaker 3: guy and he brings it every single day. He brings 207 00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:41,960 Speaker 3: the juice to the field that you guys see, brings 208 00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:44,200 Speaker 3: the juice to the meetings which you guys don't see. 209 00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:47,760 Speaker 5: But he's a valuable member to our team. 210 00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:52,120 Speaker 10: Really, guys did such a nice job of Derrick Henry. 211 00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:55,360 Speaker 6: Does that inform what might happen against Josh Jacob? 212 00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:59,240 Speaker 3: I think every challenge is unique, Mary Kay. Josh Jacobs 213 00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:04,199 Speaker 3: is outstanding. He has unbelievable patience, vision, power, speed, quickness, 214 00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:06,440 Speaker 3: he fights for extra yards. They can use him in 215 00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:10,439 Speaker 3: a variety of ways. He's he's really, really, really talented. 216 00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:15,000 Speaker 2: Have you noticed this run the Guardians I've put together. 217 00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:18,319 Speaker 3: I haven't paid attention. I go, you know, every morning, 218 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:22,160 Speaker 3: I'll check the standings. But as you know this, it's 219 00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:24,480 Speaker 3: that time of year where it's fun when you start 220 00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:27,040 Speaker 3: staring at the standings and start thinking about what the 221 00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:30,480 Speaker 3: postseason might mean for your team. So yeah, we're definitely 222 00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:32,800 Speaker 3: watching those guys offensively. 223 00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:36,320 Speaker 10: Did it look like an efficient operation this week, just 224 00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:40,320 Speaker 10: in terms of syncing up the quarterback and receivers and 225 00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:42,600 Speaker 10: not throwing picks and stuff like that. 226 00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:46,680 Speaker 3: Well, I think to your I think what you need 227 00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:49,880 Speaker 3: Mary Kay's precision in everything you do run game, pass game, 228 00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,160 Speaker 3: but certainly the pass game you need precision. 229 00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:55,439 Speaker 5: And that really does mean that the. 230 00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:57,560 Speaker 3: Quarterback has to be on time with an accurate ball, 231 00:10:57,640 --> 00:10:59,640 Speaker 3: receiver has to be at his depth with the right 232 00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:03,440 Speaker 3: a technique, and the line has to hold up a protection. 233 00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:05,680 Speaker 3: All those things to have precision where you can play 234 00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:07,600 Speaker 3: on time and play with rhythm. 235 00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:11,160 Speaker 1: Next, offensive line coach Mike Bloomgren discussed how they can 236 00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:12,240 Speaker 1: get the run game going. 237 00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:14,760 Speaker 4: I know you know, you for most of the training 238 00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:17,360 Speaker 4: camp you had everybody around, but just the first two 239 00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:20,400 Speaker 4: weeks you haven't had Jack for pretty much safe for 240 00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:23,560 Speaker 4: that first possession, Dwan has sort of in and out 241 00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:26,839 Speaker 4: there against Baltimore. Just how difficult is it once you 242 00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:30,360 Speaker 4: get the gate to get that cohesiveness, that cohesion that 243 00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:34,280 Speaker 4: you've needed to help the overall you know, the overall prices. 244 00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:37,360 Speaker 14: Yeah, maybe I feel this way because I've worked with 245 00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:39,480 Speaker 14: the position so long, but I think continuity that position, 246 00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:41,880 Speaker 14: in particular, that position group where you need five guys 247 00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:43,480 Speaker 14: to see the game through one set of eyes. 248 00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:46,760 Speaker 15: Connuity's ideal. It's what we all want. 249 00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:51,240 Speaker 14: I certainly feel like myself, Ben and Sanders are better 250 00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:53,040 Speaker 14: coaches when we have our starters in there. You know, 251 00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:54,920 Speaker 14: like everybody in this world, but we also know the 252 00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:57,000 Speaker 14: reality of the National Football League. It's going to be 253 00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:00,560 Speaker 14: a next man up and ideal situations don't always play out. 254 00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:04,440 Speaker 14: So to answer your question, it's not ideal, but we 255 00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:07,160 Speaker 14: also have trained people who are professional football players. 256 00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:08,839 Speaker 15: It should be able to step in there and get 257 00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:09,120 Speaker 15: it right. 258 00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:12,120 Speaker 14: From a communication standpoint, I think when you talk about 259 00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:15,000 Speaker 14: what Ethan Posik does by giving us clear points and 260 00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:17,000 Speaker 14: a clear understanding to make sure we are seeing the 261 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:19,120 Speaker 14: game through one set of eyes, and that's his and 262 00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:23,480 Speaker 14: the communication between Joel and the tackle and Wyatt and 263 00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:26,439 Speaker 14: the tackle, those things like whoever's in there, those three 264 00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:28,840 Speaker 14: vets are doing such a good job getting us on 265 00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:30,200 Speaker 14: the same page. 266 00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:33,359 Speaker 2: Says the run game through the first two weeks. 267 00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:35,880 Speaker 14: Yeah, I don't think it's where we want it to be. 268 00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:37,960 Speaker 14: You know, I won't won't lie to you there, And 269 00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:41,160 Speaker 14: I think had too many times in the first game 270 00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:42,960 Speaker 14: where we weren't hatted the way we wanted to be. 271 00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:45,360 Speaker 14: I think you looked at what happened in the second game, 272 00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:48,280 Speaker 14: and aside from the first series, I think we did 273 00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:50,240 Speaker 14: a pretty good job getting hats on hats and moving 274 00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:52,400 Speaker 14: some people. So I'm pleased with the progress from week 275 00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:55,400 Speaker 14: one to two. And I think anytime you're that's really 276 00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:57,400 Speaker 14: what you want to see from your group in all areas. 277 00:12:57,480 --> 00:12:59,160 Speaker 14: Is the big growth from week one to week two. 278 00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:01,360 Speaker 14: But there's certainly steps. I believe we can take. 279 00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:05,880 Speaker 12: Packers and with them adding persons to that defensive front, 280 00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:09,199 Speaker 12: Like what have you seen from him on film? And 281 00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:11,120 Speaker 12: how much are they moving him around? 282 00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:11,720 Speaker 7: Do you think? 283 00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:14,600 Speaker 14: Yeah, I think typical Micah Parson stuff like you look 284 00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:17,600 Speaker 14: at the breakdown in one game one versus game two, 285 00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:20,160 Speaker 14: and one game he's primarily on the left, the next 286 00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:22,480 Speaker 14: game is primarily on the right, and he's also going 287 00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:23,760 Speaker 14: to be at the three technique. He's going to be 288 00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:26,800 Speaker 14: over the center. He is everywhere. So what have I 289 00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:29,040 Speaker 14: seen from them? I've seen thirty three quarterback pressures in 290 00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:33,319 Speaker 14: eight sacks. It's a really really good front and that. 291 00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:37,760 Speaker 16: There's been some miscommunications to missed assignments on the offense 292 00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:39,760 Speaker 16: that's leading to some of these the ailments that you 293 00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:43,400 Speaker 16: guys are looking to clean up. When you think about it, 294 00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:45,280 Speaker 16: is it more miscommunication? 295 00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:47,240 Speaker 6: Is it more you need to work on technique? 296 00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:48,880 Speaker 16: Is it like, how do you clean that up in 297 00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:51,439 Speaker 16: this week when you're looking at what has maybe gone wrong? 298 00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:53,280 Speaker 14: Yeah, I think there's a lot of things, and it's 299 00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:55,319 Speaker 14: almost play by play, and it's different people. 300 00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:57,520 Speaker 15: It's not always the same person. It's nothing like that. 301 00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:00,480 Speaker 14: It's you know, we've got to continue you get time 302 00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:02,480 Speaker 14: on task with our reps and we've got to continue 303 00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:04,160 Speaker 14: to have people do their job. I mean, at the 304 00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:05,839 Speaker 14: end of the day, this is a business and it's 305 00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:08,600 Speaker 14: a performance business, and we all know their jobs, and 306 00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:10,880 Speaker 14: I got to do a better job making sure everybody 307 00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:13,360 Speaker 14: knows who they're assigned to, how they're supposed to get there, 308 00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:14,640 Speaker 14: and then we got to get them there. 309 00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:20,360 Speaker 10: Dewan doing from a performance standpoint, and then also supposed 310 00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:22,680 Speaker 10: to be really hot to get on Sunday, and might 311 00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:25,160 Speaker 10: you guys have to give him a spell them a 312 00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:26,080 Speaker 10: little bit occasionally. 313 00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:28,600 Speaker 14: Again, Yeah, that rotation will come down to keV and 314 00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:30,760 Speaker 14: what he thinks is best. I thought that was a 315 00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:33,320 Speaker 14: good idea to kind of have the preemptive strike and 316 00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:35,600 Speaker 14: get him some rest. You know, I thought it was 317 00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:37,360 Speaker 14: I'm a kid from the South and I thought it 318 00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:40,160 Speaker 14: was pretty warm the other day in Baltimore. And he's 319 00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:41,600 Speaker 14: got one hundred and twenty pounds on me, so I 320 00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:44,840 Speaker 14: can imagine he thought it was warm too. So again, 321 00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:47,320 Speaker 14: we'll see what keV wants to do from a rotational standpoint. 322 00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:51,040 Speaker 14: But you ask how he's playing, and I think, like you, 323 00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:53,440 Speaker 14: look at the second half of football there in that 324 00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:56,560 Speaker 14: game against the Ravens, and it's the best football we've 325 00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:59,040 Speaker 14: seen from Dewan, with very good strain and some very 326 00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:01,760 Speaker 14: good things. Now again there's still a repid pass pro. 327 00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:03,240 Speaker 14: We've got to clean up. We've got to get to 328 00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:05,400 Speaker 14: the point like this is not like an oh, good job, 329 00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:07,160 Speaker 14: you're making progress. This is like you've got to get 330 00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:09,360 Speaker 14: your job done every play in the National Football League, 331 00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:11,920 Speaker 14: and especially at his position. We know how quickly everybody 332 00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:13,840 Speaker 14: in the stadium will see it if he doesn't. 333 00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:16,560 Speaker 2: This is the best half that you've seen from him. 334 00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:19,360 Speaker 2: What was he doing better than you had seen earlier? 335 00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:22,040 Speaker 14: You know, I think anytime you have an opportunity on 336 00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:25,680 Speaker 14: a down block to take number zero kron Smith and 337 00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:27,000 Speaker 14: put him into the ground on the other side of 338 00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:29,760 Speaker 14: the formation, that's good stuff. And that's the violence and 339 00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:32,360 Speaker 14: the expectation of physicality we have for our room. And 340 00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:34,480 Speaker 14: so just to see him do those things and strain 341 00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:36,760 Speaker 14: through some of the things, through the hot weather, and 342 00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:40,720 Speaker 14: just continue to play and take steps in every area, 343 00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:42,880 Speaker 14: not just the run game, but take some better steps 344 00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:44,080 Speaker 14: in pass protection as well. 345 00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:46,240 Speaker 15: And there's still so much more out there. 346 00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:49,000 Speaker 14: There's no telling how much more progress we can make 347 00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:50,840 Speaker 14: with Dewan, and we're going to keep working towards it. 348 00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:52,520 Speaker 2: Good, Okay. 349 00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:54,520 Speaker 12: I know Dewan and some of the other guys on 350 00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:56,760 Speaker 12: that O line, like every year in training camp, they 351 00:15:56,800 --> 00:16:00,720 Speaker 12: talk about going against Miles and how helpful that is. Like, 352 00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:03,400 Speaker 12: I guess when you think about another addresser coming in 353 00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:06,160 Speaker 12: like Micah and the other ones you guys have to face, Like, 354 00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:09,280 Speaker 12: how helpful are those reps not just in the practice, 355 00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:12,800 Speaker 12: but in giving guys confidence going up against guys like that. 356 00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:14,840 Speaker 14: I'm not sure how much confidence you get from going 357 00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:18,280 Speaker 14: against Miles, and it being my first training camp here, 358 00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:20,320 Speaker 14: I would say I didn't enjoy every moment of training 359 00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:23,760 Speaker 14: camp going against Miles. What an outstanding football player he is, 360 00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:25,520 Speaker 14: and so glad he is going to be in our 361 00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:29,040 Speaker 14: locker room on Sunday. But you're exactly right in terms 362 00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:30,960 Speaker 14: of how it prepares you to go in elite to 363 00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:34,200 Speaker 14: get versus an elite guy, and he jumps in there 364 00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:37,040 Speaker 14: during one on ones at over the guard and over 365 00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:39,040 Speaker 14: the center, much like we just talked about with Micah. 366 00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:42,240 Speaker 14: So it is helpful to have one of those freak 367 00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:44,160 Speaker 14: shows is where we'll line up across from me and 368 00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:46,160 Speaker 14: give you the reps against somebody that is that dominant 369 00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:46,680 Speaker 14: of a player. 370 00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:50,280 Speaker 10: I have a guy like Michah that moves around as 371 00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:54,480 Speaker 10: much as he does. Is the communication inheritive? How do 372 00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:57,800 Speaker 10: you send help when you don't necessarily know where he's 373 00:16:57,800 --> 00:16:58,920 Speaker 10: going to be from down to dat. 374 00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:01,440 Speaker 15: Kay, you're asking for the game plan, We can't give 375 00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:01,680 Speaker 15: you that. 376 00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:05,919 Speaker 14: No, there's a lot of creativity that has to go 377 00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:08,800 Speaker 14: into it, but the communication is a paramount, like anytime 378 00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:11,440 Speaker 14: we want to find an opportunity to get extra hats 379 00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:11,840 Speaker 14: on him. 380 00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:13,800 Speaker 15: The other thing we can't sleep on is when. 381 00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:15,359 Speaker 14: We talk about this front, we got to talk about 382 00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:17,960 Speaker 14: fifty two for Shaun Gary too, Like he's a dominant 383 00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:20,080 Speaker 14: football player and so the fact that they have both 384 00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:23,000 Speaker 14: of them makes it even harder to address just one issue. 385 00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:25,600 Speaker 14: So again, yeah, we've got some creative ways to do 386 00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:28,400 Speaker 14: it in this plan and hopefully you like him on Sunday. 387 00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:32,160 Speaker 4: Obviously, the hope Njole is going to be able to play, 388 00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:35,560 Speaker 4: you know, on Sunday. The expectation is he will. But 389 00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:40,080 Speaker 4: that said, if you know, the back tightens up or whatever, 390 00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:43,679 Speaker 4: Tevin just what you know, how you know, what have 391 00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:45,440 Speaker 4: you seen out of him work? You know, getting to 392 00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:48,000 Speaker 4: work with him this this offseason, this draining camp. 393 00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:50,879 Speaker 14: Yeah, Tevan's gotten better and better every week we've had 394 00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:52,720 Speaker 14: a chance to work with him. Like you go back 395 00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:54,680 Speaker 14: to the first preseason game and I didn't think he 396 00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:57,000 Speaker 14: performed anywhere near he was capable of, and he's built 397 00:17:57,040 --> 00:18:00,360 Speaker 14: on those performances and he's continued to grow. I think 398 00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:02,359 Speaker 14: myself and the other coaches in the room have a 399 00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:04,280 Speaker 14: lot of confidence in Tevin if he is the one 400 00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:07,880 Speaker 14: out there. You know, the experience he had in Chicago, 401 00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:10,560 Speaker 14: whether it's playing tackle or playing guard. This is a 402 00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:12,840 Speaker 14: guy that's played a lot of football in this league 403 00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:15,600 Speaker 14: and played good football, and we certainly would expect him 404 00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:18,600 Speaker 14: to do the same. But I'm gonna be right there 405 00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:21,520 Speaker 14: with you on Joel, Like I think Joel's playing as 406 00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:23,760 Speaker 14: good a football as anybody in the National Football League 407 00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:26,520 Speaker 14: at the guard position. I think Wyatt's really close behind him. 408 00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:28,800 Speaker 14: So I love what those guards are doing, and we 409 00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:30,760 Speaker 14: certainly want him out there. You know, we want Tevin 410 00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:32,960 Speaker 14: to have whatever role we can get for him. But 411 00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:35,639 Speaker 14: at the end of the day, like I believe this 412 00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:39,760 Speaker 14: in my core, like Joel is like the modern gladiator. 413 00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:42,000 Speaker 14: Like if he can walk, I believe he'll play on Sunday. 414 00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:43,240 Speaker 14: And I appreciate that so much. 415 00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:46,840 Speaker 9: Backup guards at center, he's been an act to these 416 00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:48,320 Speaker 9: first couple of weeks. What does he need to do 417 00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:50,160 Speaker 9: to kind of get called up. 418 00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:51,159 Speaker 15: And just keep working. 419 00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:53,399 Speaker 14: We love Zach and we love the progress he's making, 420 00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:55,840 Speaker 14: you know, and again I've mentioned it to you before. 421 00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:57,560 Speaker 14: I believe, like I don't feel like he had a 422 00:18:57,640 --> 00:18:59,600 Speaker 14: rookie season last year. He certainly didn't have a rookie 423 00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:03,199 Speaker 14: off seat. So he's not doing anything wrong. He's just 424 00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:05,399 Speaker 14: continuing to grow into the NFL football player. 425 00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:06,160 Speaker 15: We want him to be. 426 00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:09,320 Speaker 2: Jack this week. And are you optimistic that he can 427 00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:09,760 Speaker 2: get out? 428 00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:12,680 Speaker 15: I don't know, you know, we'll see. We'll see how 429 00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:13,359 Speaker 15: that thing goes. 430 00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:17,240 Speaker 14: And he's another one, certainly a better coach when he's 431 00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:20,760 Speaker 14: out there, so we'll see and ultimately Kevin and Jack 432 00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:21,520 Speaker 14: will talk about that. 433 00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:22,760 Speaker 1: I'm trying a. 434 00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:25,760 Speaker 6: Bit about the tush push for a second and. 435 00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:29,280 Speaker 10: What you've seen with you know, the Fass Stars, and 436 00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:33,080 Speaker 10: is that something that you guys would try to do. 437 00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:36,119 Speaker 6: Do you have that in your repertoire and what are 438 00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:36,600 Speaker 6: your thoughts on? 439 00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:39,760 Speaker 15: Yeah, the tush push. 440 00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:43,520 Speaker 14: I'm not sure like Joe will be Jalen in that regard. 441 00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:45,800 Speaker 14: You know, they're very different in terms of their makeup 442 00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:48,360 Speaker 14: and everything else. So I don't know that we'd ever 443 00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:50,159 Speaker 14: get to a point where we're asking Joe to to 444 00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:52,320 Speaker 14: quarterback sneak at four or five times a game and 445 00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:53,800 Speaker 14: have everybody pushing on him. 446 00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:56,960 Speaker 15: But at the same time, like I think it's a 447 00:19:57,040 --> 00:19:57,800 Speaker 15: very effective play. 448 00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:00,359 Speaker 14: I have a lot of respect for how they run it. 449 00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:02,879 Speaker 14: I just think there's more creative ways that we can 450 00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:05,280 Speaker 14: do similar things and get the surge that we want, 451 00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:07,440 Speaker 14: the physical get off that we want out of our. 452 00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:09,480 Speaker 15: Four point stances where we're able to move people. 453 00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:11,040 Speaker 14: I mean, that's what we talk about in short arge 454 00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:12,960 Speaker 14: and goal line in our room is like we've got 455 00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:14,639 Speaker 14: to if balls on the one yard line, we got 456 00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:15,360 Speaker 14: to score with our man. 457 00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:16,720 Speaker 15: We got to get our man to make. 458 00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:19,239 Speaker 14: This job easy for the back and got a lot 459 00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:21,520 Speaker 14: of confidence in our backs and then Q to run 460 00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:23,760 Speaker 14: this thing downhill and go get a yard even if 461 00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:25,399 Speaker 14: everybody fell down on the field, Like we got a 462 00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:26,280 Speaker 14: lot of belief in him. 463 00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:29,360 Speaker 15: So you combine those two things and we should have a. 464 00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:30,840 Speaker 14: Good way to move the sticks and short arge and 465 00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:32,680 Speaker 14: goal line and can continue to be able to excel 466 00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:33,520 Speaker 14: in those situations. 467 00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:36,920 Speaker 1: Safety's coach e from Bonda spoke on the veteran presence 468 00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:38,720 Speaker 1: that Grant Delpit brings to the room. 469 00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:41,560 Speaker 12: To start off talking about Brant and that play he 470 00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:44,400 Speaker 12: makes in the end zone, like punching the ball out. 471 00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:47,280 Speaker 12: What have you seen from him this season and especially 472 00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:49,080 Speaker 12: in that Raymond's game after you know, he had some 473 00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:50,680 Speaker 12: big words before the game too. 474 00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:52,879 Speaker 17: Just a man that's going to back up his words, 475 00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:57,520 Speaker 17: you know, that's what you respect about him. He's worked 476 00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:02,119 Speaker 17: hard and has really pushed the group to emphasize getting 477 00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:04,520 Speaker 17: you know, his hand, get our hands on the ball, 478 00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:06,480 Speaker 17: and that was an op for him to work a 479 00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:08,159 Speaker 17: technique that we put a lot of time in in 480 00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:11,360 Speaker 17: the offseason and you saw it again yesterday and practice, 481 00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:14,240 Speaker 17: just getting you know, punching and trying to get that buzzle. 482 00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:15,920 Speaker 17: That's a huge play. I mean it's a point play. 483 00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:19,480 Speaker 17: Took points off the board. So it's really awesome state chill, 484 00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:22,879 Speaker 17: tough situation where you have Lamar in his legs and 485 00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:25,080 Speaker 17: we got to count for that and then you know 486 00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:27,080 Speaker 17: you do that, there's some grass back there and you 487 00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:30,399 Speaker 17: got to do a great job finishing the play, you know, 488 00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:32,200 Speaker 17: Like like granted, so proud of him. 489 00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:33,480 Speaker 18: Back in his words up to what he is. 490 00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:35,680 Speaker 17: He's a man of He's gonna say something going back 491 00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:36,080 Speaker 17: it up. 492 00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:42,320 Speaker 4: From Derrick Henry to Josh Jacobs, what is obviously size wise, 493 00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:46,640 Speaker 4: there's a massive difference, But does the philosophy and how 494 00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:49,880 Speaker 4: you approach stopping them change much at all? 495 00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:51,800 Speaker 18: This is one of the best backs in the NFL. 496 00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:52,639 Speaker 18: I really believe this. 497 00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:55,800 Speaker 17: I mean, his vision coupled with his size a lot 498 00:21:55,880 --> 00:22:00,120 Speaker 17: like Derrick Henry is elite. So your mentality of being 499 00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:04,560 Speaker 17: really gang tackling, you know, mentality, but also sinking your 500 00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:07,800 Speaker 17: teeth into the tackle and locking the jaw on a 501 00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:10,080 Speaker 17: player like that is massive because if you don't, he's 502 00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:13,560 Speaker 17: just gonna pull away and push through. But like Jim said, 503 00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:16,680 Speaker 17: he's just got a really good knack of trusting where 504 00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:18,960 Speaker 17: the hole is gonna be and bursting through it. And 505 00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:21,440 Speaker 17: I think that's what makes him special, not only the 506 00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:23,640 Speaker 17: fact that he can play all downs and he's big 507 00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:24,800 Speaker 17: and he's strong and he's tough. 508 00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:26,720 Speaker 2: That's great. 509 00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:29,320 Speaker 9: Absolutely, we know he's so good like in the box, yeah, 510 00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:31,280 Speaker 9: plus stoting scrimmage. But I know you also want him 511 00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:33,000 Speaker 9: and coverage. You guys don't do the free and strong 512 00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:33,600 Speaker 9: safety things. 513 00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:34,240 Speaker 19: Now, how do you. 514 00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:36,680 Speaker 9: Balance kind of want to near the line but also 515 00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:38,719 Speaker 9: using him as kind of that deep safety. 516 00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:40,560 Speaker 17: Yeah, we had someone in the room say strong, safety, 517 00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:42,040 Speaker 17: free state down. I looked at him, like, we don't 518 00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:45,959 Speaker 17: do that, you know, we're we're we're DB's And Grant's 519 00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:48,159 Speaker 17: done a really good job in terms of growing his 520 00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:50,760 Speaker 17: game in that space in the off season through a 521 00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:52,600 Speaker 17: training camp and you're seeing it a little bit too 522 00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:56,320 Speaker 17: now and as the season goes. So he's worked really 523 00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:58,359 Speaker 17: hard at learning the third level stuff, but not just 524 00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:01,200 Speaker 17: learning it. It's just a different mentality when you're back there. 525 00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:04,120 Speaker 17: You gotta be a little bit more patient with your feet. 526 00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:06,680 Speaker 17: Your footwork initially has to be different, and it has 527 00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:09,639 Speaker 17: to change. Your instincts are still your instincts, and that's 528 00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:11,959 Speaker 17: probably the hardest thing for Grant because he's such an 529 00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:15,560 Speaker 17: instinctual human being. But how fast you act on those 530 00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:18,240 Speaker 17: instincts actually have to dial back a little bit because 531 00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:21,359 Speaker 17: if you are too aggressive, too fast, like you can 532 00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:24,919 Speaker 17: be around the second level, it can hurt you. So 533 00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:27,760 Speaker 17: just really proud of his development in terms of his 534 00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:31,080 Speaker 17: footwork and how he's seeing things develop and then grow 535 00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:33,919 Speaker 17: in his game. Because the truth is Grand delvit can 536 00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:37,760 Speaker 17: play strong, free, corner, nickel dime, whatever you need it 537 00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:40,840 Speaker 17: to be. It's about putting it on tape and showing 538 00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:42,840 Speaker 17: the world how good of a player, not good, how 539 00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:43,879 Speaker 17: great of a player he is? 540 00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:50,600 Speaker 10: When he said not hard to temple Derrick Henry, what 541 00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:51,640 Speaker 10: went through your mind at first? 542 00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:53,120 Speaker 6: And then I saw you guys made him a game 543 00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:53,760 Speaker 6: day captain. 544 00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:54,359 Speaker 2: How did that. 545 00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:55,080 Speaker 7: Sort of evolve? 546 00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:58,600 Speaker 17: What went through my mind is just the competitive nature 547 00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:01,800 Speaker 17: that the man plays the game with, Like that's. 548 00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:02,480 Speaker 5: To be honest with you. 549 00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:05,280 Speaker 17: When he said it, I just kept moving because that's 550 00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:08,800 Speaker 17: how Grant thinks, Like it's not anything against the other person, 551 00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:11,760 Speaker 17: it's just the competitive nature that he has. And it's 552 00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:14,399 Speaker 17: not even the competitive nature. He's not here to compete, 553 00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:16,520 Speaker 17: He's here to dominate, and that's how his brain is. 554 00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:22,160 Speaker 17: So for him, for me, it's just like it's Grant, 555 00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:24,520 Speaker 17: Like if you know him, that's how he is. And 556 00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:27,480 Speaker 17: like the question earlier, he's gonna go up there and 557 00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:29,879 Speaker 17: back it up like he did. So proud of the 558 00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:32,560 Speaker 17: group for backing him up too, And I'm proud of 559 00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:34,760 Speaker 17: him for being who he is the man he is. 560 00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:39,000 Speaker 12: Wasn't on defense, but you know when Ronnie is in 561 00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:42,879 Speaker 12: that protector role on the punt and it gets blocked, like, 562 00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:46,640 Speaker 12: how do you see him kind of respond to that adversity. 563 00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:48,840 Speaker 17: And in the day's sense, it's my job to get 564 00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:51,840 Speaker 17: that man on on the bench, to let the play 565 00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:52,560 Speaker 17: go and move on. 566 00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:54,399 Speaker 18: And as soon as he sat down, a sad on 567 00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:54,879 Speaker 18: his face. 568 00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:57,080 Speaker 17: And you guys, you know, you don't get to see 569 00:24:57,080 --> 00:24:59,399 Speaker 17: that human's face when he sits on the bench and 570 00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:01,000 Speaker 17: he looks the way he looks, and he feels the 571 00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:01,480 Speaker 17: way he feels. 572 00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:03,720 Speaker 18: He's still human. He's killed him and hurt him. 573 00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:07,000 Speaker 17: But it was such a lot left to do, and 574 00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:09,280 Speaker 17: I and we talked about. I said, look, let it go, 575 00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:13,120 Speaker 17: move on, let your feelings go. Your feelings are okay, well, 576 00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:14,960 Speaker 17: we all have feelings.

The hardest 578 00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:20,639 Speaker 17: thing is letting him go and continuing to move on 579 00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:23,159 Speaker 17: with your life or in this situation that game. And 580 00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:25,119 Speaker 17: he did a great job of just letting it go 581 00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:28,760 Speaker 17: and continuing to stay locked in, and he played well 582 00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:31,080 Speaker 17: on defense the rest of the day. So proud of 583 00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:33,960 Speaker 17: the resiliency that Kevin talks about showing up in a 584 00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:35,920 Speaker 17: player in a really tough moment. 585 00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:41,119 Speaker 4: No he had any issue yesterday that you know, maybe 586 00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:43,120 Speaker 4: puts a little bit of a question mark on him, 587 00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:49,120 Speaker 4: but Tucker craft the tight end for for Green Bay just. 588 00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:51,560 Speaker 2: The way they use him. 589 00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:55,399 Speaker 4: What he can do, the matchup create he creates specifically 590 00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:58,040 Speaker 4: for your position group and for the defense as a whole. 591 00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:00,639 Speaker 4: If he's able to go what I mean. 592 00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:04,160 Speaker 17: What yeah, you know again, I said this about Jacobs 593 00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:05,080 Speaker 17: a couple of minutes ago. 594 00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:05,520 Speaker 7: I think this. 595 00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:07,480 Speaker 17: I think number eighty five is one of the best 596 00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:10,040 Speaker 17: young tight ends in the NFL. Like, this guy is physical, 597 00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:13,600 Speaker 17: he can run routes, his yards after Catcher, top of 598 00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:14,119 Speaker 17: the league. 599 00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:15,600 Speaker 18: I mean, he does everything. 600 00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:18,520 Speaker 17: He can do, everything a tight end can do and 601 00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:21,400 Speaker 17: some and he plays with just this edge and toughness. 602 00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:22,880 Speaker 18: Obviously he's not there. 603 00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:24,959 Speaker 17: It's a tough, tough deal for them because he's such 604 00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:26,720 Speaker 17: a good player. I think the personnel department of Green 605 00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:28,600 Speaker 17: Bay has done a great job. You look at him, Musgrave, 606 00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:31,520 Speaker 17: the back, I mean, the receivers obviously, Jordan Love shout 607 00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:33,760 Speaker 17: out Utah State. You know I was there. But you 608 00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:37,560 Speaker 17: know he's a great player too. So biggest thing is 609 00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:40,879 Speaker 17: just his ability to do so much.
