1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:04,559 Speaker 1: How to see the preseason shaping up here. Um, it's 2 00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:09,160 Speaker 1: kind of a typical preseason. Um, you know, we're making 3 00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:12,920 Speaker 1: progress and at the same time, we've battled all the 4 00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:16,120 Speaker 1: normal things that you battle at this time of the year, 5 00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:19,599 Speaker 1: which is you know, some um you know, health related 6 00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:23,880 Speaker 1: questions and guys coming back at different times, and so, UM, 7 00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:27,440 Speaker 1: I think we're we're right now. We're kind of in 8 00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:33,760 Speaker 1: that phase where um, consistency and rhythm and um, you know, 9 00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:35,800 Speaker 1: just getting out there and working together. It's really a 10 00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:39,000 Speaker 1: we've had a few good days this week, so UM, 11 00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:41,080 Speaker 1: just want to continue to build on those things. And 12 00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:43,760 Speaker 1: we've made a lot of progress and now we've gotten 13 00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:45,639 Speaker 1: some guys back out there, and I hope to make 14 00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:47,680 Speaker 1: more here in the next you know, twelve days before 15 00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:49,800 Speaker 1: the opener. I want to ask about all three quarterbacks. 16 00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:52,120 Speaker 1: But how is Tom looks so far as I'm putting wrong, 17 00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:57,880 Speaker 1: dam good good? He uh really it's honestly, it's it's 18 00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:01,160 Speaker 1: the same as it's been. UM. You know. He continues 19 00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:05,080 Speaker 1: to press on and try to get better at little things, UM, 20 00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:08,720 Speaker 1: you know, and he's made progress in certain certain different areas, 21 00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:11,800 Speaker 1: small things, UM, you know, in terms of quarterback play. 22 00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:15,440 Speaker 1: Um really had a great attitude and mindset about the 23 00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:17,560 Speaker 1: players that he's working with, because we've worked with a 24 00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:21,040 Speaker 1: lot of different groupings out there. But you know, he's 25 00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:23,640 Speaker 1: throwing it to everybody. Um, you know, working well with 26 00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:26,400 Speaker 1: the different centers he's had to work with and he's 27 00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:29,760 Speaker 1: gonna work with so um, you know, very happy with 28 00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:34,120 Speaker 1: what he's doing. He's been very consistent in his approach. Um, 29 00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:36,200 Speaker 1: you know, he has it really missed a beat. Worked 30 00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:37,959 Speaker 1: with a lot of young quarterbacks, whether it be Jimmy 31 00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:40,160 Speaker 1: or Jacobe, whoever it is, and this year it's Jared. 32 00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:43,000 Speaker 1: What skill set does he possess that lead you to 33 00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:46,679 Speaker 1: believe he could be successful in the NFL. BO you know, 34 00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:48,960 Speaker 1: we have we evaluate all of them in the draft 35 00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:52,960 Speaker 1: and so um, you know, Jared I think he you know, 36 00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:56,880 Speaker 1: he's a good kid. Um, he loves football. He's a 37 00:01:56,880 --> 00:02:00,600 Speaker 1: hard worker. Um, you know, he really he comes in 38 00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:04,320 Speaker 1: every day, he makes mistakes every day like they all do. 39 00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:07,720 Speaker 1: It's rookies, and he gets better. You know, he takes coaching, 40 00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:12,079 Speaker 1: He listens well, and he can he can improve from 41 00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:14,680 Speaker 1: one day to the next if he'll just take the 42 00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:17,120 Speaker 1: take the things we're talking about in the meeting room 43 00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:19,960 Speaker 1: and then apply him on the field the next day. Um. 44 00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:23,280 Speaker 1: You know, he's he's demonstrated toughness, he's taking some hits, 45 00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:25,560 Speaker 1: he's been accurate when we've given him time to throw, 46 00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:30,120 Speaker 1: and generally speaking, he's running the offense, Um, you know, 47 00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:32,560 Speaker 1: somewhat the way we would like him to run it. 48 00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:36,320 Speaker 1: You know. With again, there's there's huge room for improvement. Um. 49 00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:38,400 Speaker 1: I don't think there's a rookie in the National Football 50 00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:41,400 Speaker 1: League after three preseason games that you wouldn't say that about. 51 00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:44,280 Speaker 1: So our goal is to just try to get a 52 00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:47,120 Speaker 1: little better every day with him. But UM, you know, 53 00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:49,200 Speaker 1: we're we're happy with all of the guys we have 54 00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,680 Speaker 1: right now in that room. They're they're all doing some 55 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:53,720 Speaker 1: really good things, and they're all working hard to try 56 00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:58,240 Speaker 1: to get better, and they all push each other. That's 57 00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:03,560 Speaker 1: hard to say, I mean, and again it's it's it's 58 00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:06,920 Speaker 1: it's day by day, that's what it is, UM, And 59 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 1: I don't honestly, I wouldn't want it to be any 60 00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:10,960 Speaker 1: other way. UM. I wouldn't want him to try to 61 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:14,080 Speaker 1: make up a month and in one week or five 62 00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:18,600 Speaker 1: days in a day. It'd be impossible. So um, he's 63 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:22,280 Speaker 1: just continuing to try to work hard. Um. He gets 64 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:25,520 Speaker 1: yelled at every day at practice multiple times. It's just 65 00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:29,160 Speaker 1: the same as any other rookie I've ever had so UM, 66 00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:31,640 Speaker 1: and it's a good relationship. He's got a great attitude, 67 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:35,320 Speaker 1: a great mindset about him. Um. It's it's really hard 68 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:38,280 Speaker 1: to he doesn't ever get discouraged, which is a great 69 00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:41,400 Speaker 1: trait to have a young person. Brian Hoyer in the 70 00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:44,240 Speaker 1: new quarterback room. And we you guys keep three quarterbacks. 71 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:46,840 Speaker 1: I don't Again, I won't make any of those decisions. 72 00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:49,760 Speaker 1: But I love Brian Hoyer. And Brian's been great for us. 73 00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,600 Speaker 1: He's great for Tom. Um he's done. He's done a 74 00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:56,160 Speaker 1: nice job in the preseason obviously. UM. You know, Brian 75 00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:59,800 Speaker 1: knows our system, UM, knows how to operate and function 76 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:04,320 Speaker 1: with the things we do. Throws the ball well, and 77 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:09,600 Speaker 1: is an extremely hard worker, really smart, great teammate, and 78 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:13,160 Speaker 1: as good a leader as I've seen as a backup quarterback. 79 00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:15,480 Speaker 1: You know that I've been around because that's a difficult 80 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:19,320 Speaker 1: position to be in sometimes, you know, But Brian understands 81 00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:21,560 Speaker 1: who he is and what his role is and does 82 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:26,120 Speaker 1: a tremendous job of pushing his teammates, and he goes 83 00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:28,359 Speaker 1: in there. It takes his job very seriously. Every ref's 84 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:30,120 Speaker 1: in there, whether it be a practice or a game, 85 00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:33,400 Speaker 1: scout team, our offense, you know, whatever it might be, 86 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:36,320 Speaker 1: he takes it very seriously and that's the way you 87 00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:38,920 Speaker 1: would want him to do that, and he makes the 88 00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:42,839 Speaker 1: guys around and better. No, no, you glad, I know 89 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:45,240 Speaker 1: every start over and you're trying to find what this 90 00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:47,560 Speaker 1: team can do. Now that we're five weeks in the camp, 91 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:48,800 Speaker 1: do you feel like you give a bog grasping what 92 00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:53,560 Speaker 1: the offensive identity is going to be? No, m, that's 93 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:56,800 Speaker 1: just I think, you know again, I think the simple 94 00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:58,400 Speaker 1: things are, we want to try to take care of 95 00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:00,760 Speaker 1: the ball. We want to try to play penalty free. 96 00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,280 Speaker 1: We want to try to make as few mistakes as 97 00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:05,240 Speaker 1: we can make so we can continue to just try 98 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:08,200 Speaker 1: to push the ball forward and make positive plays. And 99 00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:11,680 Speaker 1: that's a generic answer, but that's the reality the situation 100 00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:13,960 Speaker 1: at this point in time, and the you know in 101 00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:17,000 Speaker 1: camp is you know you're a few weeks away from 102 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:20,240 Speaker 1: the opener, and you know there's still a lot of unknowns. 103 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:21,960 Speaker 1: There's still a lot of bridges you got to cross. 104 00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:23,560 Speaker 1: There's a lot of reps that we need to take 105 00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:26,839 Speaker 1: and get better at and improve on. And there's areas 106 00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:28,440 Speaker 1: of the game that we're going to be continuing to 107 00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:32,240 Speaker 1: improve on and develop our identity and our team over 108 00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:36,080 Speaker 1: the course of the regular season, which will be a 109 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,400 Speaker 1: lot more telling than what I know at this moment. 110 00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:41,080 Speaker 1: You know, I think we have a great group that 111 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,240 Speaker 1: works real hard. I think they're tough. I think they're 112 00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:46,520 Speaker 1: getting in good condition. Those are all positive things for 113 00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:49,400 Speaker 1: us that we can use, and hopefully we can lean 114 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:50,960 Speaker 1: on some of those things as we head into the 115 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:54,880 Speaker 1: regular season and compete. But to say exactly what we're 116 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:56,880 Speaker 1: going to be, what groupings we're going to lean on, 117 00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:00,279 Speaker 1: who's going to play this many snaps or know the 118 00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:02,880 Speaker 1: roles everybody's ironed out yet, I think it would probably 119 00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,400 Speaker 1: be unfair for me to say that being the offensive coordinator, 120 00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:09,679 Speaker 1: how impressed are you with your receiving poor They're they're different, 121 00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:12,279 Speaker 1: they're different, and we've worked with a lot of them now, 122 00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:14,960 Speaker 1: you know, and so um, you know, it's kind of 123 00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,720 Speaker 1: been a changing element of the offense a little bit 124 00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:19,599 Speaker 1: here in the spring. In the summer, we've worked with 125 00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:22,080 Speaker 1: a lot of different guys and added some new faces 126 00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:24,960 Speaker 1: and now we've just recently got a few guys back 127 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:28,359 Speaker 1: out there on the field. So um, you know, I 128 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:32,240 Speaker 1: really like our group. And now it's just about stringing 129 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:35,720 Speaker 1: together good plays and good practices. And but you know, 130 00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:39,120 Speaker 1: their their attitude and their work ethic is tremendous. They're 131 00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:42,159 Speaker 1: they're always out there staying and doing a little extra 132 00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:45,359 Speaker 1: as they did today, yesterday, and trying to work to 133 00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:47,640 Speaker 1: get better and build that continuity as we head into 134 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:48,000 Speaker 1: the season.
