1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:04,359 Speaker 1: Did you have diaries back? Yeah, yeah, have good attendance. 2 00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:08,000 Speaker 1: It's good for him to be back, and uh, you 3 00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:10,840 Speaker 1: know again it's voluntary, so glad he decided to come. 4 00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:15,920 Speaker 1: I'm telling you how your last week radio plays. Where 5 00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:18,400 Speaker 1: are you in your thought process about who will fall 6 00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:20,079 Speaker 1: off through the places here and can you kind of 7 00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:24,520 Speaker 1: claridy there? Yeah, going through practice. You know, we'll go 8 00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:26,880 Speaker 1: through training camp, make a decision here by the end 9 00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:31,520 Speaker 1: of training camp. What's you and the like when you 10 00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:34,760 Speaker 1: know on the offensive side and are you the voice 11 00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:38,840 Speaker 1: in the quarterbacks here? Because more consistently that practice I was, Yeah, 12 00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:39,720 Speaker 1: that practice I was. 13 00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:42,839 Speaker 2: It's what goes into that decision deciding who's going to 14 00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:45,080 Speaker 2: be the play card as a matter of comfort, is you. 15 00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:47,240 Speaker 1: Know, how do you determine that? I mean, I've called 16 00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:49,919 Speaker 1: plays for a long time, so it's good to get 17 00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:53,800 Speaker 1: out here practice and do it. But there's a whole 18 00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:55,680 Speaker 1: process that goes through with it. There's a training camp, 19 00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:58,560 Speaker 1: there's oats, and you'll make the decision. Like I said 20 00:00:58,600 --> 00:00:59,920 Speaker 1: back in March, that I feel is best. 21 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,880 Speaker 2: But what do you continuity involved there? You've had Kapa 22 00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,280 Speaker 2: do it for a couple of years, is there concern 23 00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:07,720 Speaker 2: changing up the continuity or you guys are pretty much 24 00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:08,840 Speaker 2: on the same page when it comes to that. 25 00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:11,479 Speaker 1: Yeah, just just working through practice here and again we'll 26 00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:14,040 Speaker 1: go through the whole process and go through training camp, 27 00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:16,200 Speaker 1: go through the different situations. You know, there's a lot 28 00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:18,960 Speaker 1: that goes into it. So we'll just take practice by 29 00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:23,040 Speaker 1: practice on that headset today. Uh, we don't have headsets 30 00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:27,080 Speaker 1: uh today Okay, Uh? Probably yeah, ran what's going on 31 00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:29,960 Speaker 1: with Andrew Thomas. He didn't take seven on seven or 32 00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:32,320 Speaker 1: l excuse me, eleven on eleven. It's last week when 33 00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:34,840 Speaker 1: we're hearing from the photos that you guys post, it 34 00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:38,160 Speaker 1: doesn't look like he's gonna left tackle at all. Different 35 00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:40,440 Speaker 1: guys are different spots, we're doing different things. He'll be uh, 36 00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:45,240 Speaker 1: he'll be in eleven eleven today. Yeah. What do you 37 00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:47,760 Speaker 1: feel like you've evolved as a coach since he's taken 38 00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:50,920 Speaker 1: his job? Yeah, yeah, I don't know. There's time for 39 00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,040 Speaker 1: reflection at the end of the season. Our right right now, 40 00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:59,720 Speaker 1: it's just having a good votia practice, Uh, Daniel Balanjero, Okay, yeah, 41 00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:02,080 Speaker 1: he'll be out here. I mean most what's what's been good? 42 00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:05,840 Speaker 1: What's I've been appreciative of all the players is besides 43 00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:07,920 Speaker 1: Darren and we've talked about him. There's no update on that. 44 00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:10,560 Speaker 1: Every player has been here at some point again for 45 00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:14,520 Speaker 1: voluntary workouts, So you know, I've been appreciative for that. 46 00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:18,160 Speaker 1: Is there anyone who you're who? He is not practicing 47 00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:21,919 Speaker 1: intrigue wise, it's a long term thing, like at least 48 00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,720 Speaker 1: like you know, at least uh concerned about it, Deary 49 00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:29,440 Speaker 1: training camp. Uh No, I think we're a pretty good shape. 50 00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:31,880 Speaker 1: Is Daniel at a point where he's gonna do any 51 00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:35,000 Speaker 1: eleven on eleven have not made that decision yet, have 52 00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:37,440 Speaker 1: talked about it. We've talked about it. So he's getting 53 00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:40,120 Speaker 1: I'd say he's getting closer and closer. He's only, however, 54 00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:41,880 Speaker 1: many six and a half months or whatever it is out, 55 00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:44,440 Speaker 1: so he's he's kind of right on schedule in terms 56 00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:47,520 Speaker 1: of his rehab land where we have him and something 57 00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:51,000 Speaker 1: we've talked about. We're we're not at that point yet 58 00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:57,200 Speaker 1: or is it? Yeah, he he'd want to do anythinground basically. Yeah. 59 00:02:57,400 --> 00:02:59,880 Speaker 1: I'd say we have a plan, Charlotte, and we're following 60 00:02:59,919 --> 00:03:03,600 Speaker 1: that plan. He's making progress. You know, when we feel 61 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,000 Speaker 1: that that's the next step, then he'll be out there 62 00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:07,680 Speaker 1: doing it. I don't think you did any eleven on 63 00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:11,200 Speaker 1: eleven last spring. Yeah, curious why you don't think or 64 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:17,680 Speaker 1: you know? Yeah, no, so understand the question. I think that, 65 00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:19,919 Speaker 1: you know, last year was a little bit of a 66 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,959 Speaker 1: numbers thing too. We were really down on defensive linemen, 67 00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:25,160 Speaker 1: so it was tough to get out there and give 68 00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:27,959 Speaker 1: them that many reps. I think it's important to try 69 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:29,160 Speaker 1: to be able to do that as long as you 70 00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 1: practice the right way. I think it's really good for 71 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:34,760 Speaker 1: the quarterback and I think we missed on some of 72 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:37,680 Speaker 1: that last year, So that was something that you know, 73 00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:39,800 Speaker 1: just going back and reevaluating some of the things that 74 00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:41,240 Speaker 1: I wanted to try to get done if we had 75 00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:43,320 Speaker 1: the right numbers. We practiced the right way being a 76 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,400 Speaker 1: non contact camp. But I think it's good, you know, 77 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:49,680 Speaker 1: even though it's not full live, for the quarterback to 78 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:53,280 Speaker 1: be able to move in the pocket, feel a little 79 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:55,760 Speaker 1: bit of the rush. I think that's helpful and it's 80 00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:57,640 Speaker 1: good for the offensive defensive lineman to work some of 81 00:03:57,680 --> 00:03:59,680 Speaker 1: their hand technique. I mean, we don't bowl, rush or 82 00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:01,560 Speaker 1: run a bunch of games and things like that just 83 00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:04,320 Speaker 1: because of the nature of the camp, but I do 84 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:08,120 Speaker 1: think it's helpful for you know, the quarterback. Okay, how 85 00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:12,520 Speaker 1: much you've called you referred to Shane going as a 86 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:16,320 Speaker 1: good team sure several times. What does that mean to you? 87 00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:20,360 Speaker 1: And then the second point last week, Uh, Charlie and 88 00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:23,320 Speaker 1: Dre talk about how they were working together with the 89 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:26,880 Speaker 1: edge down the shirt line. Uh. How important is that 90 00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,040 Speaker 1: to your staff this year in the field or has 91 00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:31,600 Speaker 1: it always been that way? Yeah, No, it's it's really important, 92 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:34,040 Speaker 1: you know. That's where it starts. I think Shane has 93 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,719 Speaker 1: done a really good job with with all the guys 94 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:38,920 Speaker 1: on the defensive staff. It's been a good collaborative effort. 95 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,640 Speaker 1: There's good communication, you know, and they're just trying to 96 00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:44,240 Speaker 1: look to get better, you know, collectively than each unit. 97 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:47,039 Speaker 1: So he's done a really good job in that leadership role. 98 00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:48,720 Speaker 1: And you're happy we have. 99 00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:49,360 Speaker 2: N't you? 100 00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:52,239 Speaker 1: Wo, What would you say is the biggest change you've made? Obviously, 101 00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:53,600 Speaker 1: you go back and you do like sort of a 102 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:56,320 Speaker 1: self evaluation the CA say the off season, and then 103 00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:58,720 Speaker 1: you come and make some sweets that like the eleven 104 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,240 Speaker 1: B eleven. Yeah, is there any thing that you look 105 00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:03,000 Speaker 1: at and say this was this was like my number 106 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,480 Speaker 1: one priority is maybe the biggest thing that you did. No, 107 00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:07,200 Speaker 1: I think you do it. You know you try to 108 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:11,520 Speaker 1: self assess every day, but you you know, schedule wives 109 00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 1: and things that Again, just to go back to that 110 00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:16,360 Speaker 1: what we just talked about. You know, you look at 111 00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:18,039 Speaker 1: what you did from one year to the next and 112 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:19,920 Speaker 1: if you think there's an improvement that could be made 113 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:21,599 Speaker 1: or something you said, Man, I wish I would have 114 00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:24,279 Speaker 1: done it this way that you're open to it. You 115 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:26,400 Speaker 1: take a lot of input, You try to collaborate as 116 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:28,240 Speaker 1: much as you can and do what's best for the team. 117 00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:30,640 Speaker 1: Did you come away with anything on the injury side 118 00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:33,840 Speaker 1: that you want to change? Yeah, I mean, Wellman's done 119 00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:36,040 Speaker 1: a great job since he's been here. Frank our new addition. 120 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:39,320 Speaker 1: There's good communication between them and the athletic department. We've 121 00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:42,520 Speaker 1: made I'd say, I mean changes in a lot of 122 00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:45,120 Speaker 1: different areas to try to improve our team. And that's 123 00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:47,960 Speaker 1: all we're trying to do. Right, But what role Steve 124 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:53,080 Speaker 1: Smiff have here today? We've he's here, he came in, 125 00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:55,160 Speaker 1: he's he's been here last year. We got a good 126 00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:58,200 Speaker 1: relationship with him, Joe and I. So he's coming out 127 00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:01,760 Speaker 1: watching practice. I think he's a good sounding board for 128 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:03,839 Speaker 1: some of the young guys, particularly some of the young receivers. 129 00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:05,560 Speaker 1: So he'll be here a couple of days. But we 130 00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:09,120 Speaker 1: have a good relationship with Steve Joe obviously Carolina and 131 00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:11,440 Speaker 1: I've known him, got a lot of respect for his game, 132 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:14,840 Speaker 1: how he's played, So we had him here last year. 133 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:18,599 Speaker 2: Too with offensive line position. 134 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:21,760 Speaker 1: Offensive coach has been a revolve door here for a 135 00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:23,960 Speaker 1: number of years. Somebody you only give two. 136 00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:27,279 Speaker 2: That White has calmed the right guy to you know, 137 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:29,359 Speaker 2: pretty good fewent to where he used to be. 138 00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:32,320 Speaker 1: I think Karen's a good teacher, good coach, good teammate, 139 00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:36,159 Speaker 1: has good understanding of what and how we do things. 140 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:39,159 Speaker 1: He's made certain adjustments to to to try to improve 141 00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:43,000 Speaker 1: where we're at. But again good teammate, good teacher, good communicator, 142 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:46,760 Speaker 1: handles the player as well. So again we're in OTAs 143 00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:49,600 Speaker 1: We've got some you know time before we get going here. 144 00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 1: But appreciative for the work that he's put in. And 145 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:54,839 Speaker 1: I would include James Ferrence too, even though he hasn't coached, 146 00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:58,000 Speaker 1: it's been a very very good addition. Just played the game, 147 00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:01,480 Speaker 1: just retired, you know, can see it through the player's eyes. 148 00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:04,520 Speaker 1: Very good technician, played a long time and you know, 149 00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,560 Speaker 1: probably not the highest level of talent for him, and 150 00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:09,360 Speaker 1: he would be probably the first admit that, but did 151 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:12,160 Speaker 1: it the right way, being smart, being tough, being a 152 00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:15,120 Speaker 1: great communicator. He's been a really good addition as well. 153 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:18,480 Speaker 1: Let's take thirty more. Does that does that position coach 154 00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:21,680 Speaker 1: a role more than maybe others need to be kind 155 00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:25,720 Speaker 1: of a amateur psychiatrist or psychologist too, because of just 156 00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:28,520 Speaker 1: the nature of how many there are and he ups 157 00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:30,800 Speaker 1: and downs and no, I just say you you coach 158 00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:34,560 Speaker 1: a you know, pretty much half the offense, so you 159 00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:36,840 Speaker 1: know if one person makes a mistake up front that 160 00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:39,480 Speaker 1: it's bad for everybody. So those guys seeing it through 161 00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:41,680 Speaker 1: the same set of eyes, being on the same page, 162 00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:45,960 Speaker 1: that's obviously really important to Steve Smith. Again by a 163 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:50,360 Speaker 1: is he available to the receivers as a sounding board, 164 00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:52,760 Speaker 1: as a as a resource, that kind of thing. Yeah, 165 00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:54,840 Speaker 1: that's I mean, that's again we had him here last year. 166 00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:57,800 Speaker 1: He's coming out for a couple of days.
