It was competitive on both sides. 4 00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:14,120 Speaker 3: Talked about cleaning a few things up that led to 5 00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:16,120 Speaker 3: some of those things. We'll try to do a better 6 00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:18,520 Speaker 3: job today, but both sides were competitive. 7 00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:21,279 Speaker 1: Got a lot out of it.

Now? 35 00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:40,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, I saw the play that that happened, and again, 36 00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:44,400 Speaker 3: really don't want anybody getting into piles during practice. Understand 37 00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:47,200 Speaker 3: what it is. He went kind of stood back and 38 00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:48,360 Speaker 3: I said, what are you going to do in there? 39 00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:52,560 Speaker 3: So he's on my guy's not on the ground, He said, 40 00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:53,960 Speaker 3: just just stay out. 41 00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:54,560 Speaker 1: Okay. 42 00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:59,760 Speaker 5: Your energy seemed to be up during that practice. You 43 00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:03,720 Speaker 5: know we could hear you yelling and multiple occasions. How 44 00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:06,600 Speaker 5: much does that kind of atmosphere get you going?

There's there's 56 00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:39,520 Speaker 3: actually two two new players that I just got coming 57 00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:42,160 Speaker 3: out here. One is Dennis Houston. He got a hand, 58 00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:44,280 Speaker 3: so he's not going to be out there, and I 59 00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:47,639 Speaker 3: just got Darnay he's going to get looked at. 60 00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:50,160 Speaker 1: So those two guys will be the new additions. 61 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:52,040 Speaker 2: Daniels to practice. 62 00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:55,200 Speaker 1: He would like to play on Thursday. Does his opinion 63 00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:56,960 Speaker 1: way in at all your decision? 64 00:02:57,400 --> 00:02:59,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, we're gonna do what we think is best best 65 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:01,560 Speaker 3: for the team, have a good day of practice here, 66 00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:02,160 Speaker 3: and then we'll make. 67 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:05,160 Speaker 1: Those decisions concerned for your long term. 68 00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:07,640 Speaker 3: I just I just heard about it, so I'll have 69 00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:12,079 Speaker 3: more information tomorrow that I literally just heard that he's 70 00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,680 Speaker 3: going to get going to get looked at. So again, 71 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:16,360 Speaker 3: we'll see where he's at when I get after practice. 72 00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:19,959 Speaker 1: All good. 73 00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:22,480 Speaker 2: There's an I mean called plays a lot in the past, 74 00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:24,200 Speaker 2: but there's none of your first game to head coach 75 00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:26,880 Speaker 2: going into the game as a play fall shures. What 76 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:28,960 Speaker 2: do you foresee changing from you? How are you going 77 00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:31,640 Speaker 2: to manage you having that role with the approaching. 78 00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:34,880 Speaker 1: Junius just calling the place. Other than that, I have 79 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 1: people that I rely on. 80 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:40,680 Speaker 3: The last two years communication wise, So again that's that's 81 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:42,320 Speaker 3: part of the process of going through all. 82 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:44,760 Speaker 1: Those things and seeing it. So it'll be good. It 83 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:46,160 Speaker 1: would be good to do a lot of. 84 00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:49,400 Speaker 2: Head coaches in this league have fallen into the trap 85 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:52,520 Speaker 2: of like, you know, when the other side of the 86 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:54,200 Speaker 2: balls in the field, they're with the side. 87 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,240 Speaker 1: They're calling place for. You know what I'm talking about? 88 00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:58,080 Speaker 1: How do you avoid doing like? 89 00:03:58,240 --> 00:03:58,600 Speaker 4: Is that? 90 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:01,440 Speaker 3: That's what that's what the that's what these preseason games 91 00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:04,800 Speaker 3: are four go through that process. Yeah, I think every 92 00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:06,880 Speaker 3: team we play this year that as an offensive head 93 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,960 Speaker 3: coach besides one, they call the plays. I've talked to 94 00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:12,760 Speaker 3: plenty of people, so I just want to go through 95 00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:14,960 Speaker 3: the process of the preseason, the mechanics of it, the 96 00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:19,039 Speaker 3: communication with my staff really in all three phases, plus 97 00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:21,240 Speaker 3: the people that help me with game management. 98 00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:23,280 Speaker 1: So that's much EATA. 99 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:25,440 Speaker 4: How does that change though, I mean, if you're going 100 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:29,360 Speaker 4: to be calling the place on Thursday, the communication. 101 00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:32,600 Speaker 3: And that's what, Yeah, that's pretty much all the same. Obviously, 102 00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:36,000 Speaker 3: give a play to the quarterback, But everything else I 103 00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:39,040 Speaker 3: foresee being very similar. But that's again, that's why we're 104 00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:40,840 Speaker 3: doing It's what the preseasons for. 105 00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:44,840 Speaker 1: Would you still have Mike up in the boost. 106 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:47,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, we're going to talk about you know, along with 107 00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:49,800 Speaker 3: the players, but I foresee Mike being in. 108 00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:52,520 Speaker 5: The booth when you talk to other people about it 109 00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:55,839 Speaker 5: about you know, what goes into head coaching and calling 110 00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,320 Speaker 5: plays at the same time, what stood out like what 111 00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:01,120 Speaker 5: did what did they tell you that it's said, Okay, 112 00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:04,799 Speaker 5: I'm going to take this and implement them. 113 00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:07,479 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it really wasn't that much. 114 00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:09,280 Speaker 3: To be honest with you, you know, I talked to 115 00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:12,960 Speaker 3: them about how they manage game, manage the defense when 116 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:15,200 Speaker 3: they're talking to the offense, you know, the kicking game, 117 00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:18,520 Speaker 3: the decisions. But it's very similar to how we've done 118 00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:22,080 Speaker 3: it other than you're communicating to the quarterback during the 119 00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:25,160 Speaker 3: offensive series. Have a great staff that you rely on 120 00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:28,000 Speaker 3: in between series. You can communicate, stay on the line 121 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:30,160 Speaker 3: when the defense is on the line, be able to 122 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:33,680 Speaker 3: communicate with special teams with situations that come up. I 123 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:35,640 Speaker 3: have a separate line that I'm able to talk to. 124 00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:38,080 Speaker 3: The two guys that helped me and tie in CAD. 125 00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:41,400 Speaker 3: So again that's what this is for a little bit 126 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:43,000 Speaker 3: of trial and error, just to see how it goes 127 00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:45,920 Speaker 3: here for the for the preseason, but feel confident in it. 128 00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:47,240 Speaker 5: What do you want to see? 129 00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:50,359 Speaker 4: Have you ever had such a young and inexperienced running 130 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:51,839 Speaker 4: back group after the starter? 131 00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,599 Speaker 3: It's a lot of years, Paul, Yeah, I don't know 132 00:05:56,640 --> 00:06:00,800 Speaker 3: that these young guys have performed well win called upon 133 00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:04,640 Speaker 3: and this will be an important, you know, preseason for 134 00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:05,240 Speaker 3: all of them. 135 00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:06,719 Speaker 1: I means it's the main thing. 136 00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:07,800 Speaker 4: Everything. 137 00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:10,960 Speaker 1: I mean, full security, knowing how to block assignments. 138 00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:15,040 Speaker 3: I mean, you know, yeah, playing the running back position 139 00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:17,279 Speaker 3: at the highest level, you can everything that goes along 140 00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:23,000 Speaker 3: with it, protection, runs, everything that goes along with the 141 00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:26,320 Speaker 3: routes of being a capable running. 142 00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:27,640 Speaker 1: Back in this league. What did you see from you 143 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:31,200 Speaker 1: for that or some good things? Really, it's the whole team. 144 00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:32,680 Speaker 3: There were some good things and there's some things we 145 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:35,599 Speaker 3: need to clean up, and that's what these days are for. 146 00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:40,040 Speaker 5: You've seen you've seen Malik here against your own guys. 147 00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:42,400 Speaker 5: Now you had an opportunity yesterday to see him again 148 00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:44,280 Speaker 5: against another team. What did he show you? 149 00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:49,480 Speaker 3: But he's showed all camp. Competitive knows what to do. 150 00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:54,240 Speaker 3: He's been playing at a high level in practice. See 151 00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:57,520 Speaker 3: if that translates to the games. I have a lot 152 00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:00,400 Speaker 3: of confidence in the leak guy you had in from well, 153 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,039 Speaker 3: it didn't go as well for him last year without 154 00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:06,280 Speaker 3: you is Isaiah McKenzie. 155 00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:08,480 Speaker 1: What do you see from him here? 156 00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:11,680 Speaker 3: And he showed us he's kind of an energy guy 157 00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:12,240 Speaker 3: and stuff and. 158 00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:14,880 Speaker 1: Juice in his player. Yeah, he does. And he is 159 00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:15,560 Speaker 1: an energy guy. 160 00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:17,960 Speaker 3: He's an energy eye in the classroom and he's a 161 00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:21,640 Speaker 3: very good teammate. He knows how we want to play. 162 00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:24,520 Speaker 3: He can play fast because he knows the system pretty well. 163 00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:27,240 Speaker 3: He's going to have an opportunity to return punts and 164 00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:31,360 Speaker 3: that's going to be an important evaluation process for him. 165 00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:34,280 Speaker 3: But he's he's been a good addition to that room 166 00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:36,640 Speaker 3: and to the to the punt return room. So there 167 00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:40,120 Speaker 3: will be some competition with Gunner and we'll see how 168 00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:41,680 Speaker 3: that competition unfolds. 169 00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:45,000 Speaker 2: Kicked off one more time, he essentially kicked off because 170 00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:46,760 Speaker 2: team pretty means that last year and just how did 171 00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:47,480 Speaker 2: you get comfortable? 172 00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:48,119 Speaker 1: Whatever happened? 173 00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:49,440 Speaker 2: You know him? 174 00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:54,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, No, I've I have a very good relationship with Isaiah. 175 00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:57,440 Speaker 3: I'd say both on and off the field, that's important. 176 00:07:57,440 --> 00:07:59,320 Speaker 3: But I the most important thing is we think he 177 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:02,840 Speaker 3: can play. So he's he's right in the mix, he's competing. 178 00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:07,480 Speaker 3: He understands that he's been nothing but a good teammate. 179 00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:09,760 Speaker 1: And glad he's here. 180 00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:10,280 Speaker 2: Right. 181 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:13,040 Speaker 3: How tricky is it when you have to kind of 182 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:16,800 Speaker 3: lay into someone else's player like ninety one touching Daniel yesterday? 183 00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:20,960 Speaker 1: And does having a relationship with Campbell help? Absolutely? 184 00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:22,680 Speaker 3: Absolutely, Dan and I had You know, we talked a 185 00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:25,320 Speaker 3: lot yesterday, try to clean up some of the stuff. 186 00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:28,880 Speaker 3: We both thought it was good juice, good energy. You 187 00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:31,080 Speaker 3: know he knows that if he needs to do that, 188 00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:32,160 Speaker 3: no problem. 189 00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:32,360 Speaker 1: You know. 190 00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:33,880 Speaker 3: The big thing is we want to we want to 191 00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:36,720 Speaker 3: keep the quarterbacks clean. You know, it's it's hard enough 192 00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:38,800 Speaker 3: to play in this league and you want to practice 193 00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:40,760 Speaker 3: the right way. That's why we choose to practice. We 194 00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:42,760 Speaker 3: got a lot of respect for one another, and you know, 195 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:44,000 Speaker 3: at times it got a little heat. 196 00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:46,520 Speaker 1: It yesterday, but you know, we we still respect each other. 197 00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:47,199 Speaker 1: We still do. 198 00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:50,120 Speaker 3: The guys respect each other. We just want to stay 199 00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:52,360 Speaker 3: away from the quarterbacks and a couple of the little 200 00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:55,920 Speaker 3: things that we can clean up on both sides. So well, 201 00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:56,600 Speaker 3: we'll try to do that. 202 00:08:58,280 --> 00:08:59,960 Speaker 1: By himself, is that Nickel. 203 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, he's having he's you know, the last three days 204 00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:05,400 Speaker 3: he's he's shown up, So continue to work and have 205 00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:08,040 Speaker 3: progress with him.
