00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,200
Speaker 1: Welcome to Rams Playbook, a new podcast from the Los

2
00:00:03,279 --> 00:00:06,960
Speaker 1: Angeles Rams. I'm Miles Simmons. In this podcast, we're going

3
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:10,000
Speaker 1: to give you exclusive interviews with some of your favorite

4
00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:12,800
Speaker 1: Rams players and coaches, giving you some insight as to

5
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:16,080
Speaker 1: what they're doing and how they're thinking on the field.

6
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:19,840
Speaker 1: In this first podcast, we've got two offensive players, Jamal

7
00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:22,520
Speaker 1: Brown and Cooper Cup. We'll start with the big old

8
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:25,560
Speaker 1: lineman who's beginning his fourth season out of Louisville. He

9
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:27,920
Speaker 1: told me this week he was glad to finally have

10
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:30,639
Speaker 1: what feels like a normal off season and that he

11
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:33,720
Speaker 1: feels like the confidence level of this team has definitely

12
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:36,560
Speaker 1: gone up. Take a listen. What's the first couple of

13
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 1: days here. You can really feel the energy. You know,

14
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:46,960
Speaker 1: it seems like everybody's excited to be here, excited to

15
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 1: do ball, excited to learn what we're trying to get

16
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 1: done here in OTAs. But it's been very high energy

17
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 1: and offensively. You know, it's felt Chris, you know, compared

18
00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:00,639
Speaker 1: to last year and you know, getting him and ask

19
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 1: for the first time in new systems, um. You can

20
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 1: tell the difference. You can tell that at a lot

21
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:07,480
Speaker 1: of people are a lot more comfortable, um, and what

22
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 1: we're doing. And Chris, do you feel like you guys

23
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:13,040
Speaker 1: are picking up where you left off? Because I see

24
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:17,560
Speaker 1: that it definitely definitely, you know, obviously, you know, getting

25
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 1: back out here for the first time, you got to

26
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,399
Speaker 1: brush some things off. But um, you know, from our

27
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 1: offensive standpoint, it does feel like we're in a better spot.

28
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:26,840
Speaker 1: You know that that we are picking up where we

29
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:29,200
Speaker 1: left off of last year. And I think that's our

30
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 1: goal and that's what we're trying to do and I

31
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 1: think we're getting it done. Just got to keep it doing.

32
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:35,760
Speaker 1: You know, thinking about Jared just as a quarterback, as

33
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 1: a leader, can you see him ticking kind of the

34
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 1: next steps? And definitely, definitely you watch him grow every day,

35
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 1: you know, at just being all leader, commanding us, you know,

36
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 1: keep taking control of the offense. You see that grow

37
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 1: and grow every day. And the more confident he is,

38
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 1: more confident we're in than him, and I think that

39
00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 1: allows everybody around him to be confident. Um. But definitely

40
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 1: you see you see those leaps and bounds every day.

41
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 1: Do you think a lot of that has to do

42
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 1: with just the continuity. I mean, this is the first

43
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 1: year you've been you know, in this league that you've

44
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:13,680
Speaker 1: had the same play caller going into it. Definitely, I

45
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:15,919
Speaker 1: think that plays a lot into it, you know, being

46
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 1: confident and comfortable with you know, everybody's coming back and

47
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 1: we got you know, we're running some of the same

48
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:22,520
Speaker 1: things that we did last year. Don't have to you know,

49
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 1: worry about the new UM system or new things that

50
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:27,920
Speaker 1: comes with this new system. You know, we kind of

51
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 1: have that that uh, you know level of comfort you

52
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:33,360
Speaker 1: know to where we've been here before. We know some

53
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 1: of this, oh we hear something, it's like, oh, yeah,

54
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 1: I remember that from last year. You just you know,

55
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 1: picking back up on it. UM. But definitely do you

56
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 1: finally feel like you've had maybe a normal off season

57
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 1: because you know, we're not moving were rookie, we have

58
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:49,360
Speaker 1: a new coach. It was a little different off season

59
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 1: because we actually went into the playoffs this you know,

60
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 1: past year, so it's a little different, but definitely it

61
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 1: was It was definitely the first look at you know,

62
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 1: a normal off season, UM to where we don't have,

63
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 1: you know, coach and just to where we don't have

64
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 1: movies UM. And I think that helps a lot of

65
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:05,640
Speaker 1: us UM to kind of be able to just cry

66
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 1: and focus on the craft and focus on what we're

67
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:10,799
Speaker 1: trying to get done. Do you feel like having gone

68
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 1: to the playoffs there's a different sense of confidence in

69
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 1: this team. Definitely, I think, and I think it should be.

70
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:20,240
Speaker 1: You know what I mean what we did last year

71
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 1: is obviously, um, you know, turn turn the corner and

72
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 1: make the make the next step in the right direction.

73
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:30,080
Speaker 1: I'm obviously we can't hang our hats on what happened

74
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 1: last year because last year is last year. But with

75
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 1: that being said, I think we can have some sort

76
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 1: of confidence, some sort of swag to the fact that

77
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 1: we did do that last year, right, you know, and

78
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 1: kind of hang our hats on that confidently, like you know,

79
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 1: that was us, That's that's what we did. We can

80
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 1: build off that. We know that we can just be

81
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 1: ten times better than that, you know, and with that

82
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 1: in mind, that gives you that chip, that gives you

83
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 1: that that that extra little like, oh, let's let's do

84
00:03:57,480 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 1: a little more. You know what I'm saying, do it

85
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 1: do a little more. Because if we kind of taste that,

86
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 1: what what is the second round or that you know,

87
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 1: the championship, like you know, that's where we shooting for him?

88
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 1: What if in your impressions of Brandon Cooks, oh Man,

89
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 1: great as great A. I mean, you look at that guy,

90
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 1: you know, just started from the weight round and just

91
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 1: how he carries itself off the field. Um. You see

92
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,919
Speaker 1: one of those guys that you're like, Okay, this guy's

93
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 1: a problem. You know, goes about his business the right way,

94
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,280
Speaker 1: approaches the day the same um. And then when you

95
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 1: get him out home in the field, you see his

96
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 1: ability and the things that you can do, and all

97
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,279
Speaker 1: you can think of is, you know, with him in

98
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:44,840
Speaker 1: our system added um as a weapon of ours, we're

99
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:47,480
Speaker 1: gonna be deadly. When you see him go down the

100
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 1: field and he's catching those bombs like he's doing, I mean, like,

101
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 1: do you think like man ured, like we're throwing him there,

102
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 1: and then it's like, oh to him get up under

103
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 1: some of those balls where he's like it looks like

104
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 1: he overshoot him to runs it down, and then you're

105
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 1: just like wow, you know what I'm saying. I think

106
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,040
Speaker 1: that's a credit to him and how he works, and

107
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:08,600
Speaker 1: just you know, I think you know, obviously he's new here,

108
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 1: so we're still getting introduced to a lot of his

109
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:15,039
Speaker 1: abilities and really seeing what he can do, and this

110
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 1: is where you find it out, you know, on the

111
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 1: day to day practice, the practice, type of type of field.

112
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 1: You know, obviously doing it in the games is important,

113
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 1: but you know, this is where you really find out

114
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 1: what type of guy are you dealing with, What are

115
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 1: your goals for things you want to get done by

116
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 1: the time Mini campus or where you guys get that

117
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:37,479
Speaker 1: pork just fine tuning, fine tune and everything. You know.

118
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 1: I think UM last year was an opportunity for myself

119
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:44,159
Speaker 1: to really learn our system and master our system, and

120
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 1: I think I did that, you know. Coming into this year,

121
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 1: it's just more so on the field work, you know,

122
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 1: making sure that you know, I'm working to techniques and

123
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 1: just really perfecting those techniques that I need that Chrome

124
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 1: is coaching on the field, and so my goal is

125
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 1: just a focused technique wise, you know, focused technique wise,

126
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:06,360
Speaker 1: and come out of it um the Mini camp, come

127
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 1: out of it feeling like, Okay, I got this done,

128
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 1: this done, this done technique wise, and not be able

129
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:15,039
Speaker 1: to build on that within that little breaking and be

130
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 1: able to be able to be you know, fired up

131
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:20,279
Speaker 1: with we're trying to Cup comes around. Cooper Cup had

132
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:22,600
Speaker 1: a tremendous season as a rookie and is now a

133
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:25,160
Speaker 1: part of what could become one of the most productive

134
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 1: wide receiving cores in the NFL. We chatted this week

135
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:32,039
Speaker 1: about how he's seen quarterback Jared Goff grow as a leader,

136
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:35,920
Speaker 1: plus his impressions of his new teammate Brandon Cooks. The

137
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 1: first couple of days is gone. They've been great. Um,

138
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 1: you know, just getting everyone back out here, going through stuff,

139
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:44,160
Speaker 1: getting a little bit of a competition, being able to

140
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 1: uh run routes against guys that are very at football

141
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:50,360
Speaker 1: and now against there, So that's that's a huge thing

142
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:51,919
Speaker 1: for us. I think it's gonna get those reps and

143
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 1: kind those things up and get some really football players.

144
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 1: And um, I think we're just as an offense. I

145
00:06:57,720 --> 00:06:59,040
Speaker 1: just speaking for the offensive side of the ball. I

146
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:00,840
Speaker 1: know we're gonna be soon better just because of the

147
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:02,600
Speaker 1: guys we get to go against every single day. So

148
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 1: we have a pretty neat opportunity there. Do you feel

149
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:09,280
Speaker 1: like this thing is pretty sharp right now, especially considering

150
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, You're being a rookie last year.

151
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 1: I know that's one thing, but it didn't seem like

152
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 1: it was the sharp last year at this time. Yeah, well,

153
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 1: I mean I think, you know, having come back and

154
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 1: having run this offense before, and um, you know, all

155
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:23,120

00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 1: But you know, we go back here in the meeting room,

166
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 1: we're watching film. There's a lot of stuff to correct,

167
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 1: the lot of stuff that you know isn't up to

168
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 1: our standards and so um, you know, just continuing to

00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 1: correct that throughout the OTA seeing a huge for us.

170
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 1: How much did you guys get together kind of on

171
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 1: your own during the off season? Um, you know, being

172
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 1: in LA we have the luxury of host guys you know,

173
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 1: come here to train anyway, so a lot most of

174
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 1: our guys were sticking around here. You know, Um I

175
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 1: saw you know, I got to see you know, ten

176
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 1: fifteen guys. UM on the office side of the ball.

177
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 1: Just what every single day, Um, just through training and

178
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 1: um you know our own just going out and throwing

179
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 1: and uh, even if it was just first you know,

180
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 1: two days a week, you know, be able to get

181
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 1: out there and you know, go through our ver big

182
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 1: jar route free and um, you know, just continue to

183
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 1: build that chemistry, that timing. Um, that's a big deal.

184
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 1: When you talked about a whole offseason, you know, four

185
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:37,840
Speaker 1: months or so that you know, you really don't have anything.

186
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 1: So UM, that was a big luxury for us. What

187
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 1: have you been your impressions of Brandon Cooks now that

188
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:44,959
Speaker 1: you get to really see him on the field. Oh yeah,

189
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:46,680
Speaker 1: and he's great. And it's not just on the field

190
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 1: that you see. I mean just uh, you know we

191
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 1: walked back into this building here. Um. The attitude he

192
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:54,560
Speaker 1: brings in the way he pushes people and um uh

193
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 1: you know his work ethic, not in the weight rooms,

194
00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:00,120
Speaker 1: in the film study room, UM, all those things. He

195
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 1: just elevates everyone around him. When you think about, um,

196
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:05,840
Speaker 1: I think the three of you better time starters here.

197
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 1: You woods and cut and Coach I should say, UM, well,

198
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:11,439
Speaker 1: do you guys feel like in some ways you're interchangeable

199
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 1: in different positions because it seems like, you know, you're

200
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 1: always kind of running the same routes. Well, I think

201
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 1: we always. I think any offense would strive to be

202
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:21,120
Speaker 1: that way. UM, give you a position where you're ayming

203
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:23,960
Speaker 1: to change personnels necessarily to get into whatever looks you

204
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 1: want to and UM be able to um who guys are,

205
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 1: not have one guy just because one guy's in one spot,

206
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:32,680
Speaker 1: and tell you exactly what's coming for this play, right. Um.

207
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:34,600
Speaker 1: So I think it's a huge thing that we want

208
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 1: to do as an offense. You know, I definitely don't

209
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:38,679
Speaker 1: want to be UM the one that has to be

210
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 1: put in different positions or you know, a tell for

211
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:43,600
Speaker 1: the defense. So it's a big thing for each everyone

212
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:45,840
Speaker 1: here to know the entire offense. So coach feels comfortable

213
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 1: putting us wherever he wants to and being able to

214
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 1: just be interchangeable to learn things. Is us full of

215
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 1: concepts and not just UM locked in I'm just one position? Um,

216
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:58,080
Speaker 1: you know that's gonna help him. How much have you

217
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:00,959
Speaker 1: seen Jerick grow less year? And how is he kind

218
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:02,719
Speaker 1: of developing into a leader. Yeah, well I'm just his

219
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:07,320
Speaker 1: confidence even um, his confidence his leadership. Um, you know

220
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:11,280
Speaker 1: I think, uh, coming having a full year under his belt.

221
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 1: Um after you know last year, he will play all

222
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 1: the yeou thinking just having the year that he did, Um,

223
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:20,080
Speaker 1: he's really helped him kind of just Um. I mean

224
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:23,680
Speaker 1: I can appreciate as a as a rookie having a

225
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 1: quarterback like that. That was Uh, you know he took

226
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 1: full responsibility for whatever it was that happened the first year.

227
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:31,320
Speaker 1: You know I wasn't here, whatever happened that first year,

228
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:34,920
Speaker 1: you full responsibility for whatever that was. Um, and Bielers

229
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:36,320
Speaker 1: go out there and work in the off season, come out,

230
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 1: put together the year he did, and just moving into

231
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 1: this year, he's just elevatd that much more. You know,

232
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 1: he didn't say any step back, didn't get comfortable at all,

233
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:44,840
Speaker 1: and just continue to grow as a person, as a

234
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 1: as a football player, as a leader on this team,

235
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:48,959
Speaker 1: and um, you know excited about the way he's kind

236
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 1: of pulled guys together and organized guys. Um. You know

237
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 1: in the off season, big on guys. He getting the

238
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 1: working on those things. So um, you know that grow

239
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:58,960
Speaker 1: hopefully will just continue to grow as we moved into

240
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 1: the season where you want to be in terms of

241
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:03,960
Speaker 1: your maybe personal goals by the end of mini camp

242
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 1: before you guys get that break. You know, I think

243
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 1: the big thing right now is just mastering what we do. UM,

244
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 1: building that timing as an offense and UM, you know,

245
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:18,680
Speaker 1: I think there's so much of football is imperfect. You

246
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:20,680
Speaker 1: never know, you know, as much as you want to

247
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:23,560
Speaker 1: anticipate what the defense is going to do, things change

248
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:25,440
Speaker 1: at the snap and you gotta be able to adapt.

249
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:28,560
Speaker 1: You gotta be able to change. And UM, in this offense.

250
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:31,240
Speaker 1: If you got the guys that can understand that no

251
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:34,320
Speaker 1: responsibilities of the entire offense, you can just be really

252
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 1: efficient by um, you'll be able to play off each other.

253
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:39,960
Speaker 1: And UM, I think that's a big thing. You know,

254
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 1: by the time okay you sound, really be able to

255
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 1: feel that, uh, you know, from the bole line to

256
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:47,320
Speaker 1: tied end to receiver and running back across the board.

257
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:49,679
Speaker 1: Being able to where one team one year out there

258
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:53,079
Speaker 1: and being able to play as as eleven you know,

259
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 1: be able to look like one solid unit. Um, I

260
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:58,400
Speaker 1: think I'll be good coming up out of Okays and

261
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 1: moving your training camp, just continue to grow. That will
