1
00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:08,800
Speaker 1: UM, all right, it's uh, you've obviously been interesting this week.

2
00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:12,639
Speaker 1: UM getting another Panthers and UM, you know, taking a

3
00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:14,600
Speaker 1: look at what uh you know coach Rule has done

4
00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:17,440
Speaker 1: down there. UM, I don't think he's done a real

5
00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:20,720
Speaker 1: good job. But together, you know, strong football team. UM,

6
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:24,319
Speaker 1: they're obviously, you know, very good on defense, Uh in

7
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:28,920
Speaker 1: every area across the board, and UM you know they're

8
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:33,159
Speaker 1: they're a tough, competitive, physical football team. UM. Run the

9
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:35,400
Speaker 1: ball well, you know, control the clock, do a good

10
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:39,879
Speaker 1: job of UM, you know, attacking the defense. And UM

11
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:44,440
Speaker 1: put a lot of pressure on you with their you know,

12
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:49,280
Speaker 1: with their punt team. UM, something obviously he's committed to

13
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 1: and unforced you to spend a lot of time on.

14
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 1: UM you know more McCaffrey to the most explosive players

15
00:00:55,840 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 1: in the league. UM, so sounding the kick game. UM again,

16
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:04,679
Speaker 1: one of the more physical teams. Probably we'll see on

17
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:07,480
Speaker 1: special teams. You know, Chase done a good job with

18
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 1: that group, and and UM, you know, just across the board. UM,

19
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:15,120
Speaker 1: just impressed by the physicality, the toughness, the competitiveness of

20
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:19,759
Speaker 1: the team. And UM that's gonna be a good challenge

21
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 1: for us. UM, you know, to deal with that style

22
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 1: of play that they have and uh and obviously got

23
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 1: off to him, you know, a real good start this

24
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 1: year and that was a big win for him. You know,

25
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 1: Atlanta last week really played well on in all three

26
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:39,760
Speaker 1: phase to the game. You know, played a good complete game. So, UM,

27
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 1: looking forward to the opportunity this UMS good football team.

28
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 1: They're well coached, UM, and they're tough, so play hard.

29
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 1: Bill lit out. McCaffrey back at practice today. UM, if

30
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 1: he does play this weekend, just you know what kind

31
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 1: of difference does he make when he's out there. It's

32
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 1: one of the most explosive players in the league in

33
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 1: more um and score from anywhere. Robbie too for that matter.

34
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 1: But you know those are really go two guys that

35
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:09,519
Speaker 1: get the ball to both them a lot, you know,

36
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 1: with the challenges are going against that guy like step On,

37
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:13,960
Speaker 1: I got you do well? Who look, thank he's back

38
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:17,360
Speaker 1: to his ol salf last week. Can we talk about

39
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:21,960
Speaker 1: it every week? So each week there's players that we

40
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 1: know or we've had or they've been here or whatever

41
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:29,400
Speaker 1: it is. So let's ye, So that type of situation

42
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 1: comes up every week that just seem like he's back

43
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:36,920
Speaker 1: to his old self. UM. You know he played about

44
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 1: twenty players last week. Do they do they wind up

45
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 1: shot founton everywhere? Yeah, he Well they have they have

46
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 1: some different packages, um defensively, so they mix their fronts.

47
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,639
Speaker 1: They do a good job of that and that's um

48
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:58,360
Speaker 1: challenging for the offense. UM just in terms of communication,

49
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:03,359
Speaker 1: identification and UM. So you know they have a lot

50
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 1: of multiple players played, you know, different things just based

51
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 1: on what they have called with coach snow calls what

52
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 1: group they're in, and then they have a couple of

53
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 1: different fronts to go with each group. So yeah, those

54
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 1: seven guys can be in different positions and then you

55
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 1: have to decide whether you're treating them as a down

56
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:24,079
Speaker 1: lineman or a linebacker. Not just Thompson, but you know Burns, Reddiche.

57
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 1: So they present a number of problems depending on what

58
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 1: what group they're in. How you need a trium do

59
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 1: a good job though. How similar in playing style are

60
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 1: the two quarterbacks. They're like if Walkers in the area,

61
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 1: what do you have to look out for them? Maybe

62
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 1: Darneld does it or does Yeah, I'd say athletically they're

63
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 1: quite different, but both had a strong arm. Um. You know,

64
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 1: Walker's got a good d ball. Um, he's quick, active

65
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 1: in the pocket. You know Sam is too, but let's

66
00:03:55,920 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 1: say it's Walker's probably, Um, you know, he has some

67
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 1: ability to escape, but may definitely throw the ball. He's

68
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 1: you know, a lot a lot of long plays down

69
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 1: the field, throwing the ball well in preseason and a

70
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 1: couple of games he played in last year. So yeah,

71
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 1: be ready for both guys, and then whoever's next. If

72
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,679
Speaker 1: it's Darnold can't play it, I guess would be Morgan.

73
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 1: As you know, it's the backup. You're your own cornerback group.

74
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 1: What has sit up to you just in the way

75
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 1: that group has come together as a season has progressed.

76
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 1: Obviously Louis and John at one point, Yeah, that was

77
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 1: John's big loss for us UM, but you know, collectively

78
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:45,839
Speaker 1: it's been a little bit different each week how how

79
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:49,160
Speaker 1: the plan has worked out. And obviously Miles has taking

80
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 1: a lot of snaps there, Um, you know, Juwan, Jalen JC,

81
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:57,840
Speaker 1: you know, and then some combination of the three safeties.

82
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 1: It's been different, different combinations there. But yeah, like Cruse

83
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:10,600
Speaker 1: spends a lot of time together, they work hard and communicate. Well, Bill,

84
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 1: how did you see that the Anthers use step in

85
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:19,480
Speaker 1: his debut that weekend. UM Mike said they played them

86
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:21,600
Speaker 1: about it was on twenty plays, most of them was

87
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 1: on third down passing situations, but he played throughout the game,

88
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 1: play some inside play, some outside build up. Even with

89
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 1: McCaffrey injured a lot last year, they have four old

90
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:40,840
Speaker 1: players that they've got a bus string of yards so

91
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:44,039
Speaker 1: mad last week they had a handful of players rusher

92
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 1: at least twenty yards yards toil against the How does

93
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 1: Brainy use his personality offensive? How did the most of you? All? Right? Well,

94
00:05:56,760 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 1: Hubbard's taking the majority of the carries. UM, you know,

95
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 1: since he's been in there, and he's a you know,

96
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 1: a really tough, hard nosed back. He's got good um,

97
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 1: good vision, good balance, good contact balance, UM runs hard heart,

98
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:16,240
Speaker 1: gut to tackle. UM. You know if you said bill

99
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 1: of some uh, you know, in passing situations as well.

100
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:23,159
Speaker 1: All the receivers have played. You know, Marshall's been out

101
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 1: here for a little while with UM. You know his situation.

102
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 1: We'll have to be ready for him, not sure exactly

103
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 1: what that'll be. And but he's you know, stepped in

104
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 1: there and done a good job. And then you know

105
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 1: with Ericsson and obviously Robbie and um and more. Yeah,

106
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:44,039
Speaker 1: they've got a lot of what juice there. Thomas has

107
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:46,040
Speaker 1: done a good job for him, you know, a tight end.

108
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 1: They've been impressed with um. You know, his competitiveness is

109
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:53,839
Speaker 1: blocking UM. So you know they they mix in some

110
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:57,839
Speaker 1: elevens and twelve and then uh, you know some rotation

111
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:00,600
Speaker 1: of players within that that group too, little bit of

112
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 1: Umu Riono Rissi plays a little bit there as the fullback.

113
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:08,800
Speaker 1: So you know, they have some different personnel combination groups

114
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 1: not just similar to New Orleans. It's not New Orleans,

115
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 1: but it's you know some of the things that New

116
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 1: Orleans does. They they also do. What do you do

117
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 1: Stepan mean to this team just over the past four

118
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 1: years he was here? Yeah, I think we talked about stuff,

119
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 1: you know, a lot so comments on maybe any left here.

120
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 1: It's the way I feel a ton of respect for him.

121
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 1: Um build you understanding. Do you guys get close on

122
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 1: any trades yesterday? And just off of that, it's pretty

123
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 1: quiet across the NFL if you get a sense for

124
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 1: why that was just a crisis Steve or teams just

125
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 1: kind of reluctant to give up players. Yeah, its working

126
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 1: on trying to get ready for Carolina. Sody out of

127
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 1: the teams out. I don't know what they thought, I

128
00:07:55,040 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 1: didn't think. I'm not sure. Miles obviously doesn't have the

129
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 1: same resume as guys like Malcolm Butler or jac or

130
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 1: John Jones. But what is it about maybe when you

131
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 1: coach these guys and the culture that allows some of

132
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 1: these undrafted players to emerge and then elevate at least

133
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 1: the three previous and Miles seems one nice traff right now?

134
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 1: Yeah John Jones too. Yeah. Oh again, all that's up

135
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 1: to them. Like whatever those guys accomplished, they earn um.

136
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:37,120
Speaker 1: So I mean, we just try to coach them. You know,

137
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 1: Mike Brian you know, do a good job back there.

138
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 1: But they Yeah, it's up to the players. They got opportunities,

139
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:49,840
Speaker 1: and guys who earn roster spots are in playing time,

140
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 1: are right, It's not not I think we can just

141
00:08:54,280 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 1: give away all those guys at don't you see the

142
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:03,559
Speaker 1: Panthers use Dj Moore in the passing game and get

143
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:08,080
Speaker 1: up the ball. Yeah, that's what they do. They get

144
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 1: him the ball. So yeah, coach Brady does a good

145
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:15,560
Speaker 1: job of that. They they target him. Um, move them

146
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 1: around some they he's open a lot, doesn't matter what

147
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:21,960
Speaker 1: the route is or what he's doing. He is you know,

148
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:23,599
Speaker 1: he's a great skill set. So I'm sure they have

149
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 1: a lot of confidence in him, as they should as

150
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 1: a tremendous player. UM. Good at all three levels, very

151
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:31,960
Speaker 1: good catch and run player, good and intermediate routes, kind

152
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 1: of gets open a lot. Good on the deep ball,

153
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:37,960
Speaker 1: he's he's definitely a problem. It's one of the best

154
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 1: receivers we face, and we face some good ones. So

155
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 1: you put him right up there, very good with the

156
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 1: ball in his hands, take some short plays, turns them

157
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:52,960
Speaker 1: into long runs. This guy's a real problem. Sorry, that's great. Well,

158
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:55,560
Speaker 1: kind of pressure our challenges team like Carlin to put

159
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 1: on you when they think the third time of possessions.

160
00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:01,880
Speaker 1: I think they have fifteen bus play drive BA A team.

161
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 1: I want to say they've had the most, are pretty

162
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 1: near the most, you know, ten plus play drives in

163
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 1: the league. Um. Again, they run the ball well, they

164
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:14,559
Speaker 1: do a good job of keeping the defense on the field.

165
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:17,440
Speaker 1: Force you know, played a lot of defensive plays, um,

166
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 1: And that's you know, the flip side of that is,

167
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:24,520
Speaker 1: you know they've got to they've got to run a

168
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:26,080
Speaker 1: lot of plays, they've got to convert third downs and

169
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 1: all that. But you know they do that well. They

170
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:32,520
Speaker 1: they you know, manage the game well, stay a long

171
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:35,680
Speaker 1: yardage situations and and that that does puts a lot

172
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 1: of pressure on defenses. They try to you know, try

173
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 1: to get them off track, try to get them a

174
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:42,520
Speaker 1: long yardage. But that's that's not easy to do. The

175
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 1: running games very well designed, well coached. Um, they don't

176
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:48,720
Speaker 1: make a lot of mistakes in the running game. You know,

177
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:52,080
Speaker 1: you've got to really, um, you know, earn your earn

178
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 1: your stops there. Um. And the backs are good obviously McCaffrey, Hubbard,

179
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 1: and they don't they don't make many mistakes either, you know,

180
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:03,400
Speaker 1: run from negative yardage and all that. If it's not there,

181
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:05,480
Speaker 1: then they get a couple of yards and you know

182
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:09,559
Speaker 1: move on. So um yeah, but that that'll definitely be

183
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 1: a challenge to try to get them off track, try

184
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 1: to you know, get them into long yard situations and

185
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 1: and then convert on third down. But that's, um, you know,

186
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 1: that's a problem too with you know Anderson Moore, McCaffrey.

187
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 1: You know, they get a lot of good, good guys

188
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:26,440
Speaker 1: to throw to there, you know, Marshall ericson Thomas, so

189
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 1: they you know, they can get you a lot of

190
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:31,240
Speaker 1: different ways. And the quarterbacks gonna run. You know, Darnold

191
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 1: and um Walker boths own ability to scramble to pick

192
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 1: up first downs with their legs, so you know what

193
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:39,560
Speaker 1: to you know, have to take care of that too.

194
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:45,280
Speaker 1: When you're building a roster and with the running back

195
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 1: position like Hut Cotton isn't are you that you don't

196
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 1: want to devote too much financial resources to that or

197
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:54,920
Speaker 1: just make sure you have that position accounted for it

198
00:11:55,000 --> 00:12:01,720
Speaker 1: just because of the hits the running backs generally take. Yeah, well,

199
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:06,960
Speaker 1: you know, depth's importantated every position. So if you have it,

200
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 1: you know right. If you don't have it, you know,

201
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 1: you always try to build it. Sometimes you can, sometimes

202
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:19,240
Speaker 1: you can't. Just you know, you tell me who's gonna

203
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 1: get hurt and we'll have depth to depth position. It's

204
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 1: hard to predict where that's going to happen. We've seen

205
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 1: it at all different positions throughout the league across the board.

206
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:32,599
Speaker 1: You just never know. So it's hard to hard to

207
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 1: have depth at every position in this league. You have

208
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:38,880
Speaker 1: it where you have it, and I think every team

209
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:40,079
Speaker 1: is sitting there saying, well, I wish you had a

210
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 1: little more depth at disposition in that position and that

211
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:46,640
Speaker 1: you know, depth in September, you know, when you put

212
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:48,319
Speaker 1: a bunch of names up on the board is one thing.

213
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 1: Depth in November is when players actually have to walk

214
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 1: out on the field and play. It's another thing. So

215
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:58,480
Speaker 1: or even depth in September for that matter, like for

216
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 1: us on the offensive line, what it looked like and

217
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 1: on paper and what it actually looked like, you know,

218
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 1: when woke up the field in Houston's two different things.

219
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 1: So you always try to have it. It's not it's

220
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 1: hard to have it at every position that can go

221
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:22,680
Speaker 1: in a hurry toward play. Evolved from obviously thinks a

222
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 1: year off plays a week one. But now you're two

223
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:29,959
Speaker 1: months into the season. How have you seen his performance change? Yeah,

224
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,040
Speaker 1: I don't think it's changed a lot. He's he's been

225
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 1: good for us all year, had a good training camp,

226
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:38,079
Speaker 1: had a good good September, good October. It's one of

227
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:42,560
Speaker 1: our most consistent players, one of our best players. Smart player,

228
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:49,840
Speaker 1: helps control the defense rarely out of position, physical contact player, pumper.

229
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:56,800
Speaker 1: I think he's been solid all year. What have you

230
00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:59,280
Speaker 1: seen from Nikkiel for the last few weeks. Is he's

231
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 1: gotten a little more. Yeah, I think all of our

232
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:08,439
Speaker 1: all of our players are are improving in our team's improved. Um,

233
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 1: so it goes for Nikiel, it goes for you know,

234
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:13,719
Speaker 1: everybody across the board. I mean, obviously this's in the

235
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:15,839
Speaker 1: first three weeks kind of you know, we got a

236
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:20,000
Speaker 1: little bit of a later start, you know, to um

237
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:23,680
Speaker 1: to the season. But you know, those guys have all

238
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:26,040
Speaker 1: worked hard. They take you know, a lot of reps,

239
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 1: they take scout team reps. They you know, throw individual

240
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:34,200
Speaker 1: routes during periods that you know, defensive special team periods

241
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:37,240
Speaker 1: after practice, things like that. And I don't think we've

242
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:42,760
Speaker 1: continued to to get better, especially as skill positions, you know, quarterback, passing,

243
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 1: game execution with tight ends, receivers, backs. Um, we still

244
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 1: got to keep working on. There's still a lot to do.

245
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:52,120
Speaker 1: But I think all those players, you know, it's really

246
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:54,520
Speaker 1: a whole new group of skill players other than you know,

247
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:58,240
Speaker 1: Nikiel and Gunner. But those guys have improved too. So

248
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:00,040
Speaker 1: you know, we just got to keep working on. We

249
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:05,000
Speaker 1: had a long way to go get better. Every day. Great,

250
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 1: all right, thank you. M
