1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:02,040
Speaker 1: Eric arm said, just not being able to work and

2
00:00:02,080 --> 00:00:03,080
Speaker 1: then having the packinger.

3
00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:07,000
Speaker 2: I mean it's you know, he's a veteran who you know,

4
00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:10,479
Speaker 2: ultimately he'll probably know how to get himself ready to go.

5
00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:11,440
Speaker 3: I would, I would hope.

6
00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:15,040
Speaker 2: You know, the key is just making sure that he's

7
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:18,280
Speaker 2: you know, he's healthy and ready to go for the

8
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:21,000
Speaker 2: first game. And ultimately, it's a long season, as we

9
00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:24,160
Speaker 2: know now, not to say that early ones aren't obviously

10
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:26,680
Speaker 2: as important as late ones, but it is a long

11
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:28,760
Speaker 2: season and we're really just trying to.

12
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:31,080
Speaker 3: You know, get him to be as healthy as possible.

13
00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:32,800
Speaker 1: Do you expect him to be good to go by

14
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:33,199
Speaker 1: week going?

15
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:37,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would think show. I would think show. It's

16
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:38,879
Speaker 3: hard for me to say right now though.

17
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:41,800
Speaker 1: And then last times the just and with Mason Smith

18
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:43,680
Speaker 1: out as well, that kind of creates a little bit

19
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:45,919
Speaker 1: of a depth issue. I would imagine, just just one

20
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:47,280
Speaker 1: of the challenges you guys are working through.

21
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 2: You know, we just signed Austin Johnson, so made a

22
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 2: nice play already in the team run today, so you know,

23
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 2: brought in some depth and competition. We'll continue to get

24
00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 2: those guys some great reps. I felt like I felt

25
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 2: the D line a little bit more today, you know, impact,

26
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:06,319
Speaker 2: whether it was in the run game or and some

27
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:09,560
Speaker 2: of the protection stuff. I just kind of felt more

28
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 2: of a presence in a rush. So that was encouraging, right,

29
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:16,320
Speaker 2: And it's great to get those guys some reps, but

30
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:19,039
Speaker 2: we absolutely need to continue to improve.

31
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:20,600
Speaker 4: Today.

32
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:22,480
Speaker 5: Once he brought to the steplet.

33
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 2: I mean, as you guys see, it's every day something right.

34
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:29,399
Speaker 2: It's every day it's making a play right, And there's

35
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:31,680
Speaker 2: only so much right within a scheme that you can

36
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 2: teach and coach. Ultimately, they have to go out and

37
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 2: make plays. And he just continues to be a steady,

38
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 2: consistent professional that communicates at a high level. He brings

39
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 2: a calmness to our back end, he brings a playmaker

40
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 2: to our back end, and a great leader for the

41
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 2: guys to be able to continue to listen to back there.

42
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, guy every day.

43
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 2: I mean, you guys have seen him many diving either

44
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 2: pass breakups or interceptions he's had. I had, you know,

45
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 2: I had so much respect for him coming when we

46
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 2: played him in Tampa this year, he made a unbelievable

47
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 2: interception that basically sealed.

48
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 3: The game in their favor. And he's just come here.

49
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 2: From the moment we sat down and talked to my office,

50
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:26,520
Speaker 2: from till till now, it's been exactly what he has

51
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 2: said he wanted to do and what we actually and

52
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 2: what we also wanted from him from a veteran leader,

53
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 2: professional show some of these guys the way, and he's

54
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 2: taken that role on and ran with it.

55
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 6: Evaluate first day of Travis having the penny, going back

56
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 6: and forth and that final team period we didn't see him.

57
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 3: Was that a situation a four minutes stuff?

58
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:50,920
Speaker 2: We weren't playing in any eleven personnel, So you know,

59
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 2: he's he's still learning twelve personnel other positions so that

60
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 2: he can continue to get in right in some of

61
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 2: those personnel grouping, you know, because he plays the F

62
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 2: in eleven, to go and play the Z and twelve

63
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 2: is just you know, it's just another added learning curve

64
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 2: that we need to continue.

65
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 3: To work on. But you know, I think he'll say it.

66
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 2: Was probably it was a little bit more tired than

67
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,960
Speaker 2: he you know, usually gets, but I thought, you know,

68
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 2: still showed up, made some plays across the middle as

69
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:23,519
Speaker 2: he's kind of continued to do, and it's just good

70
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 2: to get into that, you know, habit of we mentioned

71
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 2: we wanted to get to this point of post scrimmage,

72
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:31,959
Speaker 2: just starting to let him roll in between racks to

73
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:32,959
Speaker 2: get them some extra work.

74
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 3: It's good to be the new normal, very similar.

75
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 2: You know, we might not be every single day, but

76
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 2: I would say it would probably be a little bit

77
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 2: more normal than not.

78
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 7: We would how much the starters are gonna go on

79
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 7: Saturday yet.

80
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 3: Not yet, We're still working through.

81
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 2: We wanted to kind of get through these padded these

82
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:54,839
Speaker 2: next two padded days to evaluate see where we're at

83
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 2: as a group before making that decision. We've obviously had

84
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 2: conversations as the staff and with Tony and James as well,

85
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 2: but we're gonna let these next these two days play out,

86
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 2: see what it looks like, and make a decision from there.

87
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 7: It makes sense to talk with the other team about

88
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 7: ones or it's just just something that it almost feels

89
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:17,719
Speaker 7: like it's not a perfect science with three games compared

90
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:18,039
Speaker 7: to four.

91
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I texted coach Tomlin the last night, So we're

92
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:23,839
Speaker 2: touching base today at some point here to just get

93
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:26,159
Speaker 2: on the same page, you know, about what they're doing,

94
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 2: what we'd like to do. Ultimately, you know, we'll have

95
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:32,279
Speaker 2: to ultimately make that decision tomorrow, but we're gonna touch

96
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 2: base today.

97
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 6: Yeah.

98
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 4: Is that a hard decision as a head coach to

99
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 4: figure out this because you want them to play, you

100
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 4: want to see them, you see what you got, but

101
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:40,239
Speaker 4: you don't want to risk injury.

102
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 3: Right, That's right?

103
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 2: That is the ultimate uh debate. Oh you know it's

104
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 2: not uh obviously came from being in LA It was, shoot,

105
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 2: you're you're ones and twos don't really play right, and

106
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:56,719
Speaker 2: so you're you're ultimately uh playing with a lot of

107
00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 2: younger guys, which is kind of the that's the whole

108
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:02,600
Speaker 2: selling point in LA is you do that and it

109
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 2: helps you get you know, CFAs and get guys to

110
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:06,919
Speaker 2: come in because you know you're going to get a

111
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 2: lot of great quality reps in film, whereas in Tampa

112
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:13,599
Speaker 2: we played some of the guys and and got some

113
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:17,919
Speaker 2: quality work. So it's it's definitely a difficult decision that

114
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:19,840
Speaker 2: we've been wrestling.

115
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 3: Back and forth with a little bit.

116
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 2: But we'll we'll have a better idea tomorrow.

117
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:27,239
Speaker 3: Finally going against finally going against an opponent because.

118
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 1: Pump porch is that for you guys in your evaluation

119
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 1: processing the whole Roshington.

120
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's big, you know.

121
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 2: I mean, we don't know what you have ever, right,

122
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 2: you really don't. I mean you have a feel, you

123
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 2: know what you're doing against each other.

124
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 3: But as we saw even.

125
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 2: In the scrimmage the other night, like we'd be lying

126
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 2: if we didn't see some you know, bright eyes and

127
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 2: and maybe getting into guys doing some things that maybe

128
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 2: they hadn't been doing in practice settings because.

129
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:54,360
Speaker 3: We were in the stadium and there were some fans there.

130
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 2: Right, It's just it is different to go through the

131
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:01,360
Speaker 2: pregame routine, to get into your routine of getting ready

132
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:03,479
Speaker 2: to go play a game. But also, like you mentioned,

133
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:08,839
Speaker 2: going and competing against somebody else, especially Pittsburgh specifically on

134
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 2: the defensive side of the ball, plays a little bit

135
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:14,360
Speaker 2: of a different structure than we do. They play differently

136
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:16,599
Speaker 2: with their D line than we do in some ways,

137
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 2: So it might be great for us to get some

138
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 2: of that work.

139
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 6: A couple of the drink questions, just Jaylen McLeod kind

140
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 6: of his status and always a week.

141
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:25,719
Speaker 3: To week but yeah, I think he's more week to

142
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:27,839
Speaker 3: week than day to day. Okay, Yeah, as far.

143
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:30,920
Speaker 6: As then what that means for that competition and Sam Linebacker,

144
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:32,680
Speaker 6: what have you seen from guard E since he came back.

145
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean he's still just getting into the swing

146
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 2: of things.

147
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 3: I think he'll.

148
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 2: Start to probably feel more and more like himself as

149
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:43,800
Speaker 2: the next probably weaker and a half go. I'm excited

150
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:46,479
Speaker 2: to see him be able to go and come off

151
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 2: the edge and get him some more team reps. He's

152
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:52,360
Speaker 2: just a little bit limited in some ways still right

153
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 2: now within the team setting. So I'm excited. I'm excited

154
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:57,919
Speaker 2: to actually see who can step up. It's a bummer

155
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:00,360
Speaker 2: because Jalen was doing some good things in some of

156
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 2: the pass rush actually when he was going and four

157
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,720
Speaker 2: down and playing the end and getting some of that

158
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 2: stuff going, which is what he did a lot in college.

159
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 2: So that's you know, it's a bummer, But the competition continues.

160
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 6: And then a lot more. Just whyatt I feel like

161
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 6: why it is almost every position is that he came

162
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 6: to you guys and said that.

163
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 2: Or not, that's our I mean, you guys just kind

164
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 2: of seen it since the spring. It's kind of our

165
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:27,680
Speaker 2: philosophy is moving guys around. We did at the other

166
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 2: night as well. I mean that's something that I thought

167
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 2: we did a nice job in LA when you know,

168
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 2: Aaron Kromer was our offensive line coach. It was constant

169
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 2: moving guys around. You ultimately want to make sure you

170
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 2: set your groups as close to game as you can

171
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 2: to have the time right like where you can have

172
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 2: a little bit more time to work. But it's great

173
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 2: because you just don't know, especially at the old line

174
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 2: guys right, it's when you don't have depth or guys

175
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 2: have experienced playing specific positions and a pinch happens, it

176
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 2: is the worst fing in the world. And so I

177
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 2: went through it in twenty twenty two and we had

178
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 2: thirteen different starting o lines, which was an NFL record.

179
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 3: Not a record do you want to be known for.

180
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 2: So since that we have just really tried to make

181
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 2: such a conscious effort of adding depth in there while

182
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 2: also cross training.

183
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 3: Coach, what are you looking for specifically?

184
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 5: These xt couple of practices before Pittsburgh rules in the town.

185
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 2: Less penalties, you know, I mean it was great. We

186
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 2: got Alex Kemp out here, a great you know referee

187
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 2: crew out here that did a great job. We met

188
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 2: with them as a staff at seven am this morning.

189
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 2: They will meet with our players, excuse me, this afternoon.

190
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:41,559
Speaker 2: They'll also meet with the rookies and explain some of

191
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:45,640
Speaker 2: the rule changes from college to pro this evening. And

192
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:48,960
Speaker 2: so we are making a conscious effort, and the league

193
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:54,440
Speaker 2: is making a conscious effort. Detailing formations, alignments, assignments and

194
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 2: motions is.

195
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 3: A huge part of the rule.

196
00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:00,040
Speaker 2: The rules this year, the two men in motion and

197
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 2: illegal formation, shaving the line of scrimmage is show all

198
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:05,840
Speaker 2: showed up today, all the things that they are trying

199
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:08,720
Speaker 2: to emphasize. So long winded way of answering your question,

200
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:12,599
Speaker 2: I'd like a little bit more discipline.

201
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 5: Okay, a couple more real quick.

202
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 4: Coach Crewd and Coach Coughlin both here this week.

203
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 5: What's it like just happening those guys around and yeah,

204
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:20,080
Speaker 5: really cool.

205
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 3: I mean those guys.

206
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 2: Shoot, Coach Coughlin, I grew up, you know, a Patriots fan,

207
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:28,320
Speaker 2: so broke my heart a few times. And you know,

208
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 2: Victor Cruz, being my college roommate, obviously very close with

209
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 2: Coach Coughlin, and he's been such a support for me

210
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:37,079
Speaker 2: since I've been able to have the opportunity to take

211
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 2: this job and live here. And then Coach Gruden and

212
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 2: I were neighbors in Tampa, so we lived in the

213
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 2: same neighborhood, and so that was great.

214
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 3: I actually saw it, ran into him a few times

215
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 3: last year in.

216
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 2: Tampa, and right before I actually got hired here, I

217
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:53,320
Speaker 2: ran into him and you know, we were having a

218
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:56,280
Speaker 2: conversation about that. So it's great to have him here.

219
00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 2: We're talking some ball. I mean, there is a lot

220
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 2: of the evolution of our offense comes from him in

221
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:06,320
Speaker 2: so many ways. Right when Seawan was with him in Tampa,

222
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 2: Sean was in Washington with his brother, and there's a

223
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 2: lot of similarities.

224
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:13,720
Speaker 3: It's pretty cool, that's sure.

225
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:17,600
Speaker 4: Robert Little has been consistent. Now I left tackle at

226
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:19,839
Speaker 4: close to other Tran Camford has really moved around a lot.

227
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 4: Just kind of speaking to him, he said, it's nice

228
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 4: to be consistent and feel like you can really grow

229
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:24,720
Speaker 4: in that position.

230
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:25,600
Speaker 3: What have you seen out of him?

231
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think his run blocking has improved. I think

232
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 2: a lot since last year, coming off the rock, finishing better.

233
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:38,600
Speaker 2: I think he'll also be, you know, the first one

234
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:40,080
Speaker 2: to tell he's got to, you know, work a little

235
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:42,079
Speaker 2: bit more on some of the past pro in terms

236
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:45,439
Speaker 2: of just you know, timing up his hands, using his hands,

237
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 2: using his length, you know, to his you know, to

238
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,079
Speaker 2: his best abilities because he does have some length. He's

239
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:55,200
Speaker 2: a long dude that is athletic as well, so.

240
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 3: Needs to continue to improve.

241
00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 2: But I have been I've been pleased with, like you mentioned,

242
00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 2: some the consistencies and those guys had been I thought

243
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 2: today was probably our worst day in a while up

244
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:09,160
Speaker 2: front in some ways or just as an offense executing

245
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:12,600
Speaker 2: the run game, but in some of the past protection

246
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 2: I was not pleased with as a group, whether it

247
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 2: was the ball not coming out on time, not getting

248
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 2: open on time, whether not protecting well enough. But I

249
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 2: think they, you know, had been playing with some confidence

250
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:22,720
Speaker 2: as well.

251
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 6: Thank you for the offensive line. For the offense as

252
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 6: a whole couple of days. What would you how would

253
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:31,959
Speaker 6: you evaluate maybe where the struggles came from.

254
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:35,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't. Today was definitely one of our worst

255
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 5: days as an offense, you know, And even speaking just personally,

256
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:40,079
Speaker 5: I felt like I just, you know, we didn't see

257
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:41,680
Speaker 5: it as great today, you know, I just thought we

258
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 5: were moving a little slow coming off the off day.

259
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:46,480
Speaker 5: Just need to bring a little bit more juice next time,

260
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 5: and just you know, one play at a time, just

261
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:49,840
Speaker 5: takes one play to kind of get you back going.

262
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:51,840
Speaker 5: And I think we could have brought a little bit

263
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 5: more energy. A little sluggish today coming in, So we'll

264
00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:57,079
Speaker 5: watch the tape though and see what it was. There

265
00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:59,680
Speaker 5: was a lot of stuff just kind of everywhere. There's penalties,

266
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:02,480
Speaker 5: there were some missed assignments, there were some couple of

267
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 5: bad reads by me. There's just a little bit of everything.

268
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 5: So we'll have to watch it and see. You know,

269
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:10,440
Speaker 5: it's practice you rather have or rather it happened out

270
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 5: here and learn from it. And then you know, we're

271
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 5: not playing yet, so we got some time to fix it,

272
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:16,960
Speaker 5: but we need to address the issues and you can

273
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:17,720
Speaker 5: kind of learn from them.

274
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:19,800
Speaker 6: Do you expect to play on Saturday? Do you want

275
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 6: to play?

276
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 5: Yeah? I mean I yes, I'm expecting to play, getting

277
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:26,520
Speaker 5: myself prepared myself to play. I'm not sure exactly what

278
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:29,440
Speaker 5: the plan is yet. I think we're still evaluating some stuff,

279
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:31,680
Speaker 5: but yeah, I'm ready to go. If so, you know,

280
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 5: be excited to get back out there. It's been a while,

281
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:36,439
Speaker 5: so you know, anytime you can play, even preseason, it

282
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:38,679
Speaker 5: means something to get on that field. So I'll be

283
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 5: ready to go if that's the case, and if not,

284
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:42,839
Speaker 5: the other guys be ready to roll through it. The

285
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 5: last few years.

286
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 1: How much is playing in the preseason kind of helping

287
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 1: you get ready to week want?

288
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:50,959
Speaker 5: I think it does help, you know, just from the standpoint,

289
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 5: especially as a quarterback. You know, you can get hit.

290
00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:55,840
Speaker 5: It's you know, all off season, in all training camp

291
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:58,160
Speaker 5: you can't get hit, So there's a different Sometimes there's

292
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 5: a different time clock in the pocket. Try to always

293
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:03,560
Speaker 5: play it real and practice, but sometimes you kind of

294
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:04,840
Speaker 5: hang on to the ball and take a little bit

295
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:07,680
Speaker 5: more chances in the pocket because there's no consequences. But

296
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:10,200
Speaker 5: when you're live, it's a little different. So it's nice

297
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:12,760
Speaker 5: to fill the time clock sped up, to feel the

298
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 5: communication with the whole offense, with offensive line protection, you know,

299
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:20,720
Speaker 5: just live full speed reps. I think it is valuable.

300
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:20,960
Speaker 6: You know.

301
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:23,360
Speaker 5: I think there's gonna be smart too though as far

302
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 5: as how much you play and all that stuff. That's

303
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 5: that's for you know, coach and all them to figure

304
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:29,480
Speaker 5: out and for us just to do our job. So

305
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 5: I do think there's value though, the.

306
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 1: Offensive comfortable guard and the scrimmage. You know, how did

307
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:36,280
Speaker 1: you come out from that? What did you sort of

308
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:38,480
Speaker 1: think of the offense and then your own performance?

309
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:42,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, I thought We operated really really smoothly. You know,

310
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 5: I think it was still left a couple of plays

311
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 5: out there. That's always going to be the case, probably

312
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:49,480
Speaker 5: not gonna play perfect, but I feel like there was

313
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 5: a couple of plays I definitely left out there, but

314
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:54,400
Speaker 5: I think that's just an offense. Overall, we operated clean,

315
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 5: not a ton of penalties, you know, just having the

316
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 5: call it mentally to move the ball. Playing situational football,

317
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:05,600
Speaker 5: that's fun. You know, practice, you play situations, but they're

318
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:07,880
Speaker 5: all in block so sometimes it doesn't always feel like

319
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 5: a game because of the flow is just different. So

320
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 5: it was nice having the clock moving. You know, every

321
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:16,760
Speaker 5: every play is spotted about where it would have gone down.

322
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:20,120
Speaker 5: You play every second along third and shore, third and medium,

323
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 5: you play all the situations. We got a two minute

324
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 5: drive in all those things. It feels more a little

325
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:25,920
Speaker 5: bit more realistic as far as the game flow. So

326
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:27,800
Speaker 5: I thought that was really good and some stuff to

327
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:30,160
Speaker 5: build off of. Maybe putting to Day's side, how do

328
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 5: you feel like you can total I think I've you know,

329
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:35,240
Speaker 5: made some huge strides from the spring as far as

330
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:39,840
Speaker 5: listening to the system and being comfortable playing fast, getting

331
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:42,640
Speaker 5: through progressions, letting it rip, especially across the middle and

332
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 5: anticipating some throws. I think it's been a lot better

333
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:48,200
Speaker 5: than the spring, So you know, I think going into today,

334
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:50,440
Speaker 5: I was pleased with just my progress, you know, not

335
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:52,840
Speaker 5: necessarily overall performance, but just getting I felt like I

336
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:55,440
Speaker 5: was really just playing better every day, and I think

337
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:58,120
Speaker 5: that's what you want to do. And today obviously had

338
00:14:58,160 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 5: a little bit of a rougher day, so we'll have

339
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:01,400
Speaker 5: to watch it and just learn from it. And it's

340
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:03,240
Speaker 5: the same thing, even if you don't perform you want to,

341
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:05,400
Speaker 5: you got to learn from it. So just taking all

342
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:07,200
Speaker 5: the coaching points and all the stuff I can from

343
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 5: each day and trying to make the corrections the next

344
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 5: day and play better considered a progress.

345
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:13,360
Speaker 4: And put work becoming a more.

346
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:18,360
Speaker 5: Natural for sure, footwork becoming more natural, tying my feet

347
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 5: with my eyes, and then just seeing the concepts because

348
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:23,080
Speaker 5: I've seen them now three or four times installed and

349
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:26,000
Speaker 5: you feel more comfortable. You know what the backside is

350
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 5: going to look like, you know what gets you off

351
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:29,120
Speaker 5: the front side, and you kind of just play a

352
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 5: little bit quicker. But there's still some of that muscle

353
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:33,840
Speaker 5: memory that sets in from some of my old footwork

354
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 5: and drops and stuff that I just have to continuously

355
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:40,240
Speaker 5: just work and indie and then team drills and you know,

356
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 5: while we're in practice and it's not live bullets flying,

357
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:44,720
Speaker 5: this is the time to fix it. And we've made

358
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:47,240
Speaker 5: some good progress, but there's a lot more work to do.

359
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:50,000
Speaker 4: How big of a jump can this team make just

360
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:53,480
Speaker 4: from maybe getting rid of the dysfunction of last year?

361
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:55,200
Speaker 4: We saw it from twenty one to twenty two. It

362
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 4: was a pretty big jump just by getting rid of dysfunction.

363
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:02,600
Speaker 5: I think that's a hard question to answer to put

364
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:06,040
Speaker 5: a you know, specific measure on it. I think that

365
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 5: this is a this can be a really good team,

366
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 5: you know. I think we're talented, our schemes are really good,

367
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:17,360
Speaker 5: we're well coached. We're still getting better and dialing in

368
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:19,080
Speaker 5: on the details, and we need to play cleaner and

369
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:22,560
Speaker 5: be better operationally and just you know, gel more as units.

370
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:26,360
Speaker 5: But I really think, not to be cliche, the sky

371
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:27,560
Speaker 5: is the limit for this team. I mean, I think,

372
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:29,240
Speaker 5: like I said, we're talented, we're well coached, we got

373
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 5: a good scheme. You know, you can't speak on the

374
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:33,360
Speaker 5: results because we have to go out and do it

375
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:35,680
Speaker 5: and we have to perform. But I really feel confident

376
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:38,840
Speaker 5: that we'll be prepared come September whatever it is, the

377
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:42,400
Speaker 5: first first game, and we'll be ready to play. And

378
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 5: I you know, we had a lot of work to

379
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 5: do until then. The camps a long.

380
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 4: Time, but things happening behind the scenes in the building

381
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:51,640
Speaker 4: that affects what happens on the field. Is that safe

382
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:53,120
Speaker 4: to say that we've seen that?

383
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean there's always there's always things that I mean,

384
00:16:57,320 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 5: in the NFL, it's a crazy business. There's always things

385
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:01,440
Speaker 5: going on all the time. So you try to compartmentalize

386
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:04,480
Speaker 5: and do your job and ignore everything else. And sorry,

387
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:07,359
Speaker 5: and at times when the bigger the distraction, the harder

388
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:08,959
Speaker 5: it becomes. But you still have a job to do.

389
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:12,199
Speaker 5: And that's the challenge we're all faced with, is to

390
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 5: do your job despite everything happening around you. And sometimes

391
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:17,719
Speaker 5: it's easier than others, but that's our job and we've

392
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:18,199
Speaker 5: got to do it.

393
00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:20,440
Speaker 6: What do you see from the three rookie running backs?

394
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:23,359
Speaker 5: They've been awesome. I think I think all three of

395
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:25,880
Speaker 5: them have have had days and sports where they've played

396
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:28,119
Speaker 5: really well. And then also as rookies, learning the system

397
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:30,040
Speaker 5: isn't easy, and they've done a nice job in the

398
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:31,760
Speaker 5: protections and knowing what to do and who to pick

399
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:35,159
Speaker 5: up and but they've all made plays, you know, you know,

400
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:37,679
Speaker 5: running the ball or out of the backfield, catching it,

401
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:40,120
Speaker 5: making plays down the field. They've all had their their

402
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:41,960
Speaker 5: play So we got a lot of a lot of options,

403
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:43,520
Speaker 5: a lot of great options. A lot of them are young,

404
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:46,120
Speaker 5: so we've got some juice in the backfield, which I'm

405
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 5: excited about. Trevor. For the short time you're going to

406
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:50,800
Speaker 5: be out there on Saturday or whatever time they're going

407
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:51,720
Speaker 5: to give you, what do.

408
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:53,119
Speaker 6: You want to see out of yourself and what do

409
00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:54,880
Speaker 6: you want to see out of your offense against pits

410
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 6: ready tea.

411
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:59,040
Speaker 5: Just to play clean, you know, no penalties, operation in

412
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:02,320
Speaker 5: and out of the huddle, quick up to the line, communicate,

413
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:05,840
Speaker 5: just play clean ball and execute whatever's there. You know.

414
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 5: Obviously the plan not as much game planning when you're

415
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:12,159
Speaker 5: talking about preseason games, so I'm not sure exactly the

416
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:13,960
Speaker 5: plan as far as what we're going to do, but

417
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:16,080
Speaker 5: whatever it is, it's stuff we've done all training camp,

418
00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:18,720
Speaker 5: I'm sure. So just execution at a high level with you. Also,

419
00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:22,480
Speaker 5: coach Colin mentioned the penalties even today. Yeah, Yeah, just

420
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:25,000
Speaker 5: clean up that stuff. It's the stuff you can control.

421
00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:25,199
Speaker 4: Right.

422
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:29,000
Speaker 5: This game is hard enough playing against all these great players,

423
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:30,800
Speaker 5: these great teams, and when you beat yourself with the

424
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:34,280
Speaker 5: pre staff penalties and not lining upright or you know,

425
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:37,000
Speaker 5: little stuff, maybe it's a can that I go the

426
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:39,919
Speaker 5: wrong way on because you didn't see it right or whatever,

427
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 5: it's that's stuff that you can control. So if we

428
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:45,720
Speaker 5: can be you know, damn near close to one hundred

429
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:47,159
Speaker 5: percent on those, it's just going to put us in

430
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:49,399
Speaker 5: position to make more plays and to have to be

431
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:50,800
Speaker 5: more successful when the ball is now.

432
00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:54,240
Speaker 7: Roddy Kniver is the best combination act with you and

433
00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:58,320
Speaker 7: Brian Thomas Junior frustration a little bit on Sunday and

434
00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:01,640
Speaker 7: before that, where are you right now with Ryan?

435
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:05,440
Speaker 5: Yeah? I mean this is something where timing with receivers

436
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:09,920
Speaker 5: is so important. Chemistry, that connection, all that stuff, and

437
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:12,800
Speaker 5: then when you change offenses, it kind of resets a

438
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:15,440
Speaker 5: little bit because there's new routes and there is some carryover.

439
00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:18,639
Speaker 5: For sure, everyone does similar things, but just the communication

440
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:21,240
Speaker 5: and talking. I think we've made some big steps since

441
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:23,040
Speaker 5: the spring, and you got our thing too. We didn't

442
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 5: get to play a full season together, so you know,

443
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:28,159
Speaker 5: We've been trying to build that and be just in

444
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:31,159
Speaker 5: lockstep and always know each other's thinking and when we

445
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:33,320
Speaker 5: get those one on ones, making all those plays, giving

446
00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:36,200
Speaker 5: them opportunities, always getting them, giving them a chance to

447
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:38,879
Speaker 5: get his hand on the ball. And there has been

448
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:41,320
Speaker 5: some frustration, I think from both of us, and just offensively,

449
00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:44,280
Speaker 5: because there's been somewhere you know, I might miss a throw,

450
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:47,000
Speaker 5: I might not make a contested catch, you know, maybe

451
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:48,920
Speaker 5: they push coverage to them. And there is days where

452
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:50,800
Speaker 5: it's a little frustrating, and that stuff you work through

453
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:54,520
Speaker 5: in practice, and we both expect a lot out of

454
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:56,200
Speaker 5: each other and I think that's the cool thing about

455
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:58,080
Speaker 5: our relationship, as we expect to make all those plays,

456
00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:00,520
Speaker 5: so it's frustrating when you don't. Like I said, we

457
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:02,520
Speaker 5: just got to keep working in and keep he's such

458
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:04,320
Speaker 5: a great player, just keep giving him all the opportunities

459
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 5: and putting the ball somewhere where you can get it

460
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:08,120
Speaker 5: and always giving him a chance. It's really important.

461
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:10,480
Speaker 1: What have you seen from a Britain Strange It seems

462
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:12,679
Speaker 1: like he's really come along with the last ten tracks.

463
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:15,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think just the same thing. More comfortable in

464
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:18,760
Speaker 5: the offense, playing faster, understanding what we're doing, and that's

465
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:20,480
Speaker 5: for all of us, and me seeing him quicker, getting

466
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:22,880
Speaker 5: the ball to him in some different scenarios where maybe

467
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:26,159
Speaker 5: in the spring all's not audition it to him and

468
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:29,080
Speaker 5: getting backside or doing whatever. I think, getting more comfortable

469
00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:31,960
Speaker 5: seeing him in different spots in this scheme and knowing

470
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 5: what to expect, how he's gonna run certain routes. And

471
00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:36,800
Speaker 5: I love Britain man. I've always loved how he plays,

472
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:38,880
Speaker 5: plays really hard, he's a really good blocker, and then

473
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:41,520
Speaker 5: what he can do in space too. He doesn't get

474
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 5: enough credit for how good of a route runner he

475
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:45,440
Speaker 5: is and very physical, great after the catch. So he's

476
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:46,600
Speaker 5: gonna be a problem for us.

477
00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:48,800
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, are you seeing more from him

478
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:50,239
Speaker 1: this year? You know, now that he has been through

479
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 1: us sort of more in that in that receiving world.

480
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:56,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think just given more opportunities so you see more. Before,

481
00:20:57,280 --> 00:20:58,880
Speaker 5: you know, we had Evan, and Evan had been here

482
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:03,280
Speaker 5: and been very productive. He's an older veteran player and

483
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:05,320
Speaker 5: you know Britain's kind of behind him learning from him,

484
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:07,000
Speaker 5: and so he just didn't get the same An opportunities.

485
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:08,960
Speaker 5: And now he's looked at as as the guy the

486
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:11,000
Speaker 5: matchup at tight end, you know, to go make plays

487
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:13,120
Speaker 5: in the passing game, and he does a great job,

488
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:15,080
Speaker 5: especially what all he's asked to do between that and

489
00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:17,680
Speaker 5: the run game. Tight end is a crazy position. Those

490
00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:19,960
Speaker 5: guys are their beast, you know, physical and then they

491
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 5: go run fifty yards down the field and come back

492
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:23,840
Speaker 5: and then blocking the end. It's hard to do, and

493
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:24,879
Speaker 5: he's on a high level.

494
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 7: I know you see intervidy in practice, but just as

495
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:28,840
Speaker 7: somebody else does, how excited.

496
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 1: Or you to see Travis in a game setting is

497
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:31,040
Speaker 1: what a cow.

498
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:34,320
Speaker 5: Looks like, A really excited I mean, if if Friday

499
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:36,800
Speaker 5: was a glimpse of it, I'm pretty right we should

500
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:38,840
Speaker 5: all be excited to see him running around out there

501
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:42,240
Speaker 5: wherever it's at on offense defense. Hopefully more offense throw

502
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:45,400
Speaker 5: one in there for us there. But just the way

503
00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:48,439
Speaker 5: he plays, energy, plays with even just little things like

504
00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:50,680
Speaker 5: interacting with the fans and just the juice he brings

505
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:52,960
Speaker 5: into the stadium like that stuff does mean something, you know,

506
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:55,920
Speaker 5: and not everyone necessarily has that personality, but he has

507
00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:59,600
Speaker 5: something about him that's just I don't know, it's just special,

508
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:01,800
Speaker 5: the way that energy brings in energy plays with and

509
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:03,960
Speaker 5: the joy and all that stuff. The way he runs

510
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:06,080
Speaker 5: around like it's it's fun to watch and it's fun

511
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:07,479
Speaker 5: to play with a guy like that. I think he's

512
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:09,240
Speaker 5: starting to play a lot faster now that he knows

513
00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:11,639
Speaker 5: the system and can play free. You think.

514
00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:13,760
Speaker 6: Also one of guys that I've kept him having a

515
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:14,560
Speaker 6: penny on.

516
00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:19,199
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's it was interesting. Yeah, he played corner once

517
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:21,520
Speaker 5: to everything, came back and had to run like a jet.

518
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:24,520
Speaker 5: Sweet motion. So just we've talked about how and how

519
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:27,080
Speaker 5: good a shape he's in. But it's funny to see

520
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:29,040
Speaker 5: him back and forth. It's pretty crazy. Never never see

521
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:31,040
Speaker 5: anything like it. Awesome
