1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:02,800
Speaker 1: What do you see behind him with Wayne and as

2
00:00:02,840 --> 00:00:05,320
Speaker 1: Paul doing after taking a year off. UM, I would

3
00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:08,160
Speaker 1: say I'll talk first about Wayne Golman. Um. Wayne Golman,

4
00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:11,000
Speaker 1: I think has come back. I thought he was playing

5
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:14,120
Speaker 1: at a really high level in December. He he was

6
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:17,200
Speaker 1: getting used to his role, finding everything early. It's hard

7
00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:20,320
Speaker 1: because he's not playing much. Um, he's not getting into

8
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:23,080
Speaker 1: his rhythm. I thought as the season went on and

9
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:25,799
Speaker 1: he got more second team reps, you kind of saw

10
00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:27,640
Speaker 1: that happen. And then at the end of the year

11
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:29,280
Speaker 1: when he was playing, I thought he played at a

12
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:32,840
Speaker 1: pretty good level and he gave us a lot of explosiveness. UM.

13
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:36,960
Speaker 1: Paul Perkins has been a year removed, so he's been out. UM.

14
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 1: What I have seen so far is he is back

15
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:41,680
Speaker 1: to the Perkins as I saw when he was playing

16
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 1: when he first got here and had worked himself up

17
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:48,319
Speaker 1: into uh plain legitimate minutes. And I think he's done

18
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:49,720
Speaker 1: a lot of good things and I can't wait to

19
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:53,000
Speaker 1: see how that's going to come together. Competition is always

20
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 1: good for everybody. I don't know if this guy is

21
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:57,600
Speaker 1: gonna make the team or not, but Eric Dungee looks

22
00:00:57,640 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 1: like he's gonna they're gonna try to fit him into

23
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 1: that two some hill role. Well he work in your

24
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:05,200
Speaker 1: room in that case where he's you know, in that

25
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:07,959
Speaker 1: shotgun and things like that. I don't know. I think

26
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 1: that's yet to be determined. I'm not sure. I think

27
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:11,480
Speaker 1: he could show up in my room. I think he

28
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 1: could show up in Coach Well's room with some of

29
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 1: the tight ends. So I think that's yet to be determined.

30
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 1: And we'll we'll give him a chance. All good players

31
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:23,120
Speaker 1: will continue to take to help us get better to

32
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 1: go where we need to go. Do you have a

33
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 1: fullback in the role of this year while we do? Uh?

34
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:32,840
Speaker 1: He Lija Penny is uh done a good job. He

35
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:34,840
Speaker 1: did a good, very good job last year. Came in

36
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 1: and like many really the whole offensive unit learned his

37
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 1: role got comfortable. The more you watched and played, the

38
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 1: better he got. Um. It's his first significant playing time

39
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 1: in the league, and I thought he improved quite a

40
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 1: bit as a player too, and I think he'll continue

41
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 1: to improve to again. He for se Quon a lot

42
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 1: of playing time, Wayne a lot of playing time, he

43
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 1: Lies a lot of playing time. None of them had

44
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 1: it before. So that was a young group it's a

45
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 1: young group, but I think that they made some strides

46
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 1: and they need to continue to make strides. And that's

47
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 1: what we're going to try to get done this year.

48
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 1: What do the obviously we know what can do, but

49
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 1: what do the running backs behind him you can be

50
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 1: able to do consistently to make the roster for you

51
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 1: to count on on Sundays. That's a great question. I'm

52
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 1: gonna tell all the guys is they got to bring

53
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:26,640
Speaker 1: something to the table. Um, So when Sake is not

54
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 1: in the game and any other backs in the game, obviously,

55
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 1: we're going to continue to work on all things that

56
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 1: are important, all four phases. Taking care of the ball first, Okay,

57
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 1: when you get not taken care of the ball, can

58
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 1: you help us in a run game? Then can you

59
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 1: help us in the passing game, which includes your routes

60
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:50,119
Speaker 1: and um, you're catching the ball. And then the last

61
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 1: part is your protection. So those four phases I talked

62
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 1: about all the time. I don't care what backs and

63
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 1: that that's what those guys have to do. They have

64
00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:58,799
Speaker 1: to prove that they can do that consistently at a

65
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 1: high level. And if you're not as a starter, I

66
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 1: don't care. I don't want to hear that you're not

67
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 1: getting enough reps. No one wants to hear that. And

68
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:08,800
Speaker 1: so the bottom line is you come in, you have

69
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 1: high expectations. All of them fortunately are the second year

70
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,079
Speaker 1: in the offensive. None can claim that. And so right

71
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 1: now there's a high competition up there for a guy

72
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:20,360
Speaker 1: so they can get on the field and show what

73
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 1: they can do. And we need that because competition breeds

74
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 1: out the best and will make us better as a group,

75
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 1: which will help make our team better. When you have

76
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:30,360
Speaker 1: a starter like Sa Kwan who's such a good receiver,

77
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 1: does that put extra emphasis on that one aspect of

78
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 1: being able to be a good receiver as a backup

79
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 1: so that the offense doesn't Yes, I think I think

80
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 1: that really helps you a lot. I think all the

81
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 1: guys that UM have are getting on the field and

82
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 1: with the second unit have good hands, and the quarterbacks

83
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 1: that have been in there are getting comfortable throwing the

84
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 1: ball and they don't don't. I try to and we

85
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 1: hope to not have the quarterbacks say, well, Stake k

86
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 1: one is not there, so I'm going to go over here.

87
00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 1: When you get your opportunity, you gotta step up and

88
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 1: make play. I need you to do that and if

89
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 1: you can't then and they understand this, I'm gonna go

90
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 1: to the next guy to see if you can do it.

91
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 1: But again said, I think that's it's good competition and

92
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 1: I believe in my room we have a very good

93
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 1: chemistry and each guy UM does a good job of

94
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 1: doing the best that they can and help with your brother.

95
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:20,599
Speaker 1: They step up there, they cheer for their brother, not

96
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:22,840
Speaker 1: scared of that. But guess what, and I've told them,

97
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,720
Speaker 1: when it's your time, you you want to show that

98
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 1: you deserve. You have to think all the time like

99
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:31,599
Speaker 1: you're a starter. Whether or not you're a starter like that,

100
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 1: you got prepared like that. That's how the second stringer

101
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 1: comes in and is ready to play at a top level.

102
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 1: That's what we're looking for because that helps our entire

103
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 1: team and that plus what they can bring to the

104
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 1: special times
