1 00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:02,680 Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean there's no doubt, UM get great work 2 00:00:02,720 --> 00:00:04,200 Speaker 1: in during the week. I mean, that's why, that's why 3 00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:07,840 Speaker 1: we practice, and especially the way our defense is. UM 4 00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:10,680 Speaker 1: just do a lot of different things. I think it's 5 00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:12,640 Speaker 1: great as a quarterback, geting to go against that every 6 00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:15,600 Speaker 1: day makes you think, makes you really communicate with each 7 00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:17,960 Speaker 1: other on offense. So that's been great for us all 8 00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:20,040 Speaker 1: of camp. And then yeah, of course you know you 9 00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:23,040 Speaker 1: want to play, UM, but you also realize what the 10 00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:25,360 Speaker 1: coaches are doing, and you know it's a long season, 11 00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:27,480 Speaker 1: like being a part of it last year, seventeen games 12 00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:31,360 Speaker 1: plus hopefully playoffs all that. Um, it's a long season. 13 00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:33,279 Speaker 1: So you know it's a marathon, and I don't want 14 00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:35,440 Speaker 1: to get too far ahead of yourselves. But whenever that 15 00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:37,400 Speaker 1: what time is, I'll be ready to roll and get 16 00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:39,760 Speaker 1: out there and whatever that is, you know, this week, 17 00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:42,839 Speaker 1: next week, however much I play, I don't know yet. UM, 18 00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:45,360 Speaker 1: just being as efficient as possible when it is out 19 00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:48,320 Speaker 1: there live reps doesn't change anything except for that I 20 00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:51,199 Speaker 1: can get hit, But still you play the same way, UM, 21 00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:52,640 Speaker 1: and then we'll be you know, we'll be ready to 22 00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:55,960 Speaker 1: roll day. Johns stood out today he had a couple 23 00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:59,120 Speaker 1: of good catches and the one on one with Greg Jr. 24 00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:02,840 Speaker 1: We're kind of it's exact just how has he been, um, 25 00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:05,680 Speaker 1: and what have you seen from him? He's been great. 26 00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:08,200 Speaker 1: I think you're you know, when you get new receivers, especially, 27 00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:11,360 Speaker 1: it takes a while to kind of figure out where 28 00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:13,640 Speaker 1: everyone fits in, what what people are good at. Because 29 00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:16,199 Speaker 1: we've got a lot of great players, but they're all different. 30 00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:18,520 Speaker 1: You know, they'd all do different things well, so and 31 00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:20,240 Speaker 1: that's great for us. So it's just kind of figuring 32 00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:22,560 Speaker 1: that out, putting guys in the best spot, moving them 33 00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:25,240 Speaker 1: around and seeing how they do this versus that, and 34 00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:26,720 Speaker 1: you know, moving them all over the place with our 35 00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:29,360 Speaker 1: concepts and working from there. And I really feel like 36 00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:31,080 Speaker 1: we're in a good spot where we're starting to figure 37 00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:33,920 Speaker 1: out who we want on certain routes and the matchups 38 00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:35,920 Speaker 1: and all that. And they had a great day. He's 39 00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:39,880 Speaker 1: really smart player. Um, it just gets open really well, 40 00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:42,280 Speaker 1: uses his length, you know, he's got speed all that. 41 00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:43,880 Speaker 1: I mean, he's I think he's a great player and 42 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:50,120 Speaker 1: it's been fun building that connection with him. Thursday watching 43 00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:52,440 Speaker 1: I know it was vanilla version of the offense is 44 00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:55,040 Speaker 1: that called it? But watching it kind of seeing it 45 00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:57,560 Speaker 1: from afar. What was that experience like for you? Yeah, 46 00:01:57,560 --> 00:01:59,280 Speaker 1: it was cool, you know here and the obviously I 47 00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:01,960 Speaker 1: had the the earpiece in so you know here in 48 00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:03,560 Speaker 1: the play call, kind of playing the game in my 49 00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:06,120 Speaker 1: head and then just watching the guys and and and 50 00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:08,600 Speaker 1: cheering them on. Obviously had a lot of guys playing, 51 00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:10,880 Speaker 1: and um, just kind of seeing everyone reacted to the 52 00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:13,320 Speaker 1: different looks and then, like we talked about, just trying 53 00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:15,560 Speaker 1: to play the game in your head too, So that's 54 00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:17,799 Speaker 1: always good, you know, like part of you wants to 55 00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:20,760 Speaker 1: be out there definitely, but um, it was it was 56 00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:22,440 Speaker 1: I think it was good reps for all those guys 57 00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:23,840 Speaker 1: and then well, you know, go back to the drawing 58 00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:26,519 Speaker 1: board and get ready for this week. Had as much 59 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,400 Speaker 1: success as you would like. And goal line, but could 60 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:32,160 Speaker 1: you talk about how the benefit with this defense, the 61 00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:38,320 Speaker 1: benefits that they're giving you in those situations yesterday's practice, 62 00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:46,839 Speaker 1: the goal line stuff this far away from getting right there? Yeah, yeah, 63 00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:48,440 Speaker 1: I mean our defense they just do a great job. 64 00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:51,000 Speaker 1: They're really physical, especially you know our linebackers and our 65 00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:53,960 Speaker 1: front seven. Um, I mean Fourier's all over the place 66 00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:56,600 Speaker 1: making plays, especially yesterday, So to go up against guys 67 00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:59,200 Speaker 1: like that really challenges you. They're really smart. You know, 68 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,200 Speaker 1: he's sometimes ahead of the play, he's ahead of he's 69 00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:04,560 Speaker 1: there before we are. So playing against a guy like that, 70 00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:09,079 Speaker 1: um really challenges and helps you. But it's just great competition. Yesterday, 71 00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:11,280 Speaker 1: you guys out here, you saw it. We're getting after it. 72 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:14,200 Speaker 1: Guys who are getting getting fired up, and that's what 73 00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:16,120 Speaker 1: it's about, and you know, protecting each other. But also 74 00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:17,959 Speaker 1: when you're out here, it's time to compete and we 75 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,960 Speaker 1: gotta make each other better. You know, you're talking about 76 00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:25,359 Speaker 1: Cisco's instinctiveness. Oh yeah, anticipation. Yeah, I mean he's been 77 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:28,959 Speaker 1: playing great. He's a guy you look at safety's um 78 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:31,640 Speaker 1: the guy that's willing to take some calculator risk. But 79 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,400 Speaker 1: he's usually right. I haven't seen him be wrong many times. 80 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 1: Like he's had a couple of players. I want to 81 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:37,840 Speaker 1: go in all the details because it might be something 82 00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:40,400 Speaker 1: they're doing schematically on defense, But he's had a couple 83 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:42,040 Speaker 1: of plays where he just comes out of nowhere and 84 00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:43,600 Speaker 1: you're like, I mean, how can I even see this 85 00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:45,280 Speaker 1: guy on this on this route, I'm looking in the 86 00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:48,360 Speaker 1: opposite direction, you know. So he's had and you need 87 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:50,480 Speaker 1: plays like that from a safety, you know, to step up. 88 00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:52,520 Speaker 1: He's really physical. I mean he's one of the best 89 00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:55,360 Speaker 1: open field tacklers i've seen. You know, yesterday we went live, 90 00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:57,839 Speaker 1: He's all over the place, not let anybody get by him. 91 00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:00,320 Speaker 1: So that's great to see. And um, I think he's 92 00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:02,920 Speaker 1: had a great offseason at camp. He goes a week ago, 93 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,360 Speaker 1: he said, you feel like you're throwing it as good 94 00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:09,240 Speaker 1: as you've thrown it. What goes into that? And you've 95 00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:11,080 Speaker 1: always thrown a good ball and stuff, But why do 96 00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:13,240 Speaker 1: you say that, Why do you feel that? Well? You know, 97 00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:15,480 Speaker 1: I think I compared to last year, I had a 98 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:17,440 Speaker 1: full offseason to really work on what I think I 99 00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:20,159 Speaker 1: needed to work on. You know, last year, finish your 100 00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:23,280 Speaker 1: college season, you know, had surgery. I'm out for a while, 101 00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:26,560 Speaker 1: you can't really train, and then it's prepping for you know, 102 00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:29,040 Speaker 1: the draft and all that stuff, and um, there's a 103 00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:30,600 Speaker 1: lot of stuff going on. Didn't feel like I could 104 00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:32,240 Speaker 1: really get my body and shape the way I wanted 105 00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:34,560 Speaker 1: to because a lot because the surgery. I mean I was, 106 00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:37,000 Speaker 1: I was in shape, but as far as my arm, 107 00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:38,760 Speaker 1: I would have liked to be a little sharper. Um 108 00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:40,919 Speaker 1: I feel like my arm got a lot stronger this offseason, 109 00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:43,920 Speaker 1: and then just mechanics, I worked really hard on keeping 110 00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:47,640 Speaker 1: everything tighter, more fluid in my motion, working on all 111 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:49,360 Speaker 1: my arm slots all that. I just feel like the 112 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:51,640 Speaker 1: ball is coming out really from every angle the way 113 00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:53,719 Speaker 1: I wanted to. Obviously, you're gonna miss a few every 114 00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:55,880 Speaker 1: now and then, but I feel the best I felt. 115 00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,920 Speaker 1: Do you think you're about the sable pace learning this 116 00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:01,240 Speaker 1: offense as you were a year ago from a command 117 00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:04,640 Speaker 1: stand point ahead of it? You learned two different offenses 118 00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:07,080 Speaker 1: over the last No, I think I'm definitely ahead of 119 00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:09,520 Speaker 1: where I was last year. Um. I mean i'd hope, so, 120 00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:11,360 Speaker 1: you know, I think that's the that's the goal. Um. 121 00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:13,840 Speaker 1: I think just obviously learned the offense last year helped 122 00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:16,240 Speaker 1: me learn this one faster. You know, once you learn one, 123 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:18,560 Speaker 1: it's easier to learn the second one. Um. And then 124 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:20,960 Speaker 1: just having guys like we talked about that are really smart, 125 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:22,320 Speaker 1: that are easy. You know, you can make a check 126 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:24,720 Speaker 1: and they pick it up right away. UM. I think 127 00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:26,440 Speaker 1: the guys have done a great job with that. So 128 00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:28,800 Speaker 1: it's been a lot of fun and it's just we're 129 00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:31,080 Speaker 1: building and building on all the different things that we 130 00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:32,800 Speaker 1: can do. Because when you've got guys that know it, 131 00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:36,000 Speaker 1: whatever you call, they know it, you can really do anything. 132 00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:41,719 Speaker 1: So it's been it's been fun. But used to sweep 133 00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:45,080 Speaker 1: doctor or having times were taking and that or he's 134 00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 1: doing or anything or no, I have not, so I 135 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:52,279 Speaker 1: can't speak to that. You all of the Travis I know. 136 00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:54,800 Speaker 1: Obviously there are a couple of collisions yesterday when you 137 00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,120 Speaker 1: see him take some hits, are are you holding your brother? 138 00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,039 Speaker 1: And Oppress said he there's a couple. He was like, 139 00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:01,760 Speaker 1: he was okay with it. But he was like, yeah, well, 140 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,440 Speaker 1: you know, I've always known like and you know, obviously 141 00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:06,640 Speaker 1: Travis had the injury. But Travis, like when we were 142 00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:08,400 Speaker 1: in college, I mean, the guy has never hurt. Took 143 00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:10,400 Speaker 1: some shots. I feel like he's always popping back up, 144 00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:13,000 Speaker 1: just good the next day. All that. So not really 145 00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:16,560 Speaker 1: too concerned. But he broke on the sideline. I'm like, yeah, 146 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:18,600 Speaker 1: when he gets hit on the sideline, I'm like, oh gosh, 147 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:21,120 Speaker 1: So I told him just step out right there. We 148 00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:23,720 Speaker 1: don't need we don't need that right now. But um, 149 00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:25,040 Speaker 1: he said he wanted to get popped. You know, he 150 00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:27,360 Speaker 1: hadn't been hitting a while so he's he'll be all right. 151 00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:36,640 Speaker 1: He's tough the last few days. I don't worry. It's 152 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:40,360 Speaker 1: been great see him really, I mean obviously not all 153 00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:42,920 Speaker 1: the way back yet, but work in that direction and 154 00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:45,880 Speaker 1: just running cutting looks really good. He's in great shape. 155 00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:48,800 Speaker 1: I think he's moving really well. UM. So I'm just 156 00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:53,400 Speaker 1: excited having back. What was it like fine tuning that relationship, 157 00:06:54,520 --> 00:07:00,279 Speaker 1: like working with him on a day and day out basis. Uh. Yeah, 158 00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:02,360 Speaker 1: Christian has been been great to work with, Like we're 159 00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:06,800 Speaker 1: talked about, just really savvy route running but also really smart, 160 00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:10,160 Speaker 1: you know, recognize his coverage is quickly, um, really good 161 00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:13,320 Speaker 1: adjusting his routes, finding the open voids um. And then 162 00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:15,440 Speaker 1: obviously he's a great matchup for us with his speed 163 00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:17,960 Speaker 1: and route running ability. I think he's just you know, 164 00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:21,280 Speaker 1: that's a mismatch on most people. So it's been great 165 00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:23,160 Speaker 1: and he's gonna be He's gonna have a big impact 166 00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:27,520 Speaker 1: this year for sure. Thanks awesome, Thank you all.
