You know, we've worked well 15 00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:33,040 Speaker 3: all camp and so this is just another opportunity in 16 00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:34,760 Speaker 3: the preseason to get it kind of when lot with 17 00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:36,520 Speaker 3: live bullets and what. 18 00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:40,760 Speaker 4: As a formal quarterback, what are the challenges to a 19 00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:43,159 Speaker 4: guy getting back in there in a real game for 20 00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:44,240 Speaker 4: the first time in the while? 21 00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:46,199 Speaker 1: You know what I mean? Is it just speed? 22 00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:47,200 Speaker 4: Is it intensity? 23 00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:48,080 Speaker 1: Is it the first hit? 24 00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:48,320 Speaker 4: You know? 25 00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:50,280 Speaker 1: The vision? What is it? Well? 26 00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:52,839 Speaker 3: I mean DJ specifically, he's played a lot of football. 27 00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:55,440 Speaker 3: You know, he's he's he's a veteran guy. So you know, 28 00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:58,840 Speaker 3: it's nothing about that part of it. It's more just 29 00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,160 Speaker 3: you know, just a group offense kind of getting together 30 00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:03,920 Speaker 3: and working together, communicating all the things that we've been 31 00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:05,080 Speaker 3: stressing all off season. 32 00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:06,840 Speaker 5: What have you seen from him out here? I mean 33 00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:09,080 Speaker 5: to us, you know, he looks good, but you know 34 00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:11,680 Speaker 5: more about it. I mean, what is your impression of 35 00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:13,880 Speaker 5: what you've seen he's doing. He's doing a great job. 36 00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:15,479 Speaker 5: He's doing a great job each day, he's just getting 37 00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:17,640 Speaker 5: a little bit better. I think those are you know, 38 00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:19,360 Speaker 5: those are things that we've talked about, you know, whether 39 00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:23,200 Speaker 5: it's his footwork, whether it's his progression, whether it's just 40 00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:25,040 Speaker 5: communicating with the old line and kind of getting that 41 00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:27,760 Speaker 5: feedback as well. So you know, he's part of it. 42 00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:30,120 Speaker 5: He's you know, he's one eleventh of that group, but 43 00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:32,120 Speaker 5: he's a big part of that. And I think he's 44 00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:32,960 Speaker 5: doing a really nice job. 45 00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:37,880 Speaker 2: The accuracy is something my impression early in camp maybe 46 00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:40,280 Speaker 2: you see more inaccurate threats from. 47 00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:41,360 Speaker 1: Him than than usual. 48 00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:45,560 Speaker 2: Is that something maybe you have to you know, get 49 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:47,760 Speaker 2: confidence in your leg or you're like, you know, you're 50 00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:49,960 Speaker 2: work working on things there, or is that just you 51 00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:52,120 Speaker 2: know early in camp that that kind of happens. 52 00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:54,680 Speaker 3: I don't I don't have the exact numbers of what 53 00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:56,800 Speaker 3: the beginning camp was versus the end of camp. But 54 00:01:57,360 --> 00:01:59,440 Speaker 3: I think it's just a lot of you know, getting 55 00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:01,160 Speaker 3: used to the timing of the guys that are on 56 00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:04,200 Speaker 3: the field and you're tying in your feet, tying in 57 00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:04,760 Speaker 3: the protection. 58 00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:07,760 Speaker 1: So it's you know, there's a lot. 59 00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:09,919 Speaker 3: Of things that kind of go into it, and from 60 00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:13,640 Speaker 3: a fundamental standpoint, whether it's receiver route depth, you know, 61 00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:15,400 Speaker 3: the area of the space in the field where they 62 00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:17,920 Speaker 3: got to attack, whether it's the offensive line, whether if 63 00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:20,440 Speaker 3: there's push or there's not push, it's the footwork of 64 00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:22,480 Speaker 3: the quarterback, what type of drop you take in three 65 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:25,400 Speaker 3: step drop, a quick three, a big three, you know, 66 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:27,600 Speaker 3: like all those things gott to tie in and match 67 00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:32,160 Speaker 3: up for a past to be effective. Right, So we 68 00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:34,280 Speaker 3: stress it, we look at it, we evaluate it, We 69 00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:37,320 Speaker 3: talk about those things in depth, and whatever we can 70 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:39,200 Speaker 3: improve on those things, we try to enact on it, 71 00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:41,400 Speaker 3: and then we work on it in an individual in 72 00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:43,360 Speaker 3: a group setting, and then in a team setting. So 73 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:46,680 Speaker 3: it's kind of a NonStop process to get to get 74 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:48,639 Speaker 3: those type of plays off and that those are things 75 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:50,640 Speaker 3: that we talk about on every single play, whether it's 76 00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:54,320 Speaker 3: a run, pass, play, action screen, like all those details 77 00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:55,399 Speaker 3: are just super important. 78 00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:59,720 Speaker 1: Mike. You've seen me working Theil Johnson in Walmore. 79 00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:03,720 Speaker 4: Talk about his progress and how he's starting to grasp. 80 00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:04,280 Speaker 1: What you're looking to do. 81 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:07,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, the deals are rookie and he's he's right on 82 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:09,320 Speaker 3: schedule with you know, where he's at in his development. 83 00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:10,760 Speaker 3: He was one of those guys that kind of start 84 00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:13,680 Speaker 3: a little bit later in training camp, just getting back 85 00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:16,480 Speaker 3: from the injury. But he's doing a really nice job. 86 00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:18,679 Speaker 3: I'm happy. I'm you know, excited about him. Going to 87 00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,440 Speaker 3: keep him, you know, inserting him into the offense and 88 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:24,600 Speaker 3: you know, continue to find ways to get him involved. 89 00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:28,000 Speaker 3: He knows a lot of ballas and hearing what strides 90 00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:32,120 Speaker 3: would you like Belger to make year three. So Belly 91 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 3: is one of those kind of guys that kind of 92 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:35,800 Speaker 3: does it all in the past game, in the run game. 93 00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:39,560 Speaker 3: He's continuing develop and grow. He's getting stronger because you 94 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:41,680 Speaker 3: saw that leap from year one to year two, and 95 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,360 Speaker 3: you can see his confidence in year three of just 96 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:47,000 Speaker 3: being in the same system for three years. So I 97 00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:49,880 Speaker 3: mean that's gonna pay dividends for him. And again, I'm 98 00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:51,680 Speaker 3: excited about him because he's one of those guys that's 99 00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:53,840 Speaker 3: you know, I see you know, I visualize as a 100 00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:56,120 Speaker 3: leader of that group. So whether he's on the field, 101 00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:58,480 Speaker 3: he's off the field, he's one of those great teammates 102 00:03:58,480 --> 00:03:59,280 Speaker 3: that you can rely on. 103 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,880 Speaker 4: Does heard praying look like he's a different football player 104 00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:03,840 Speaker 4: than a year ago? 105 00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:05,280 Speaker 1: He does. He does. 106 00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:08,280 Speaker 3: He as a young players, a rookie, you're trying to 107 00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:09,680 Speaker 3: find your way and this is the kind of the 108 00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:13,040 Speaker 3: process that a lot of young players go through, and 109 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:16,280 Speaker 3: some are faster than others. But Eric's having a good camp. 110 00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:20,880 Speaker 3: He's certainly he's certainly really confident right now and in 111 00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:24,440 Speaker 3: his running, his pass pro his routes, and that wasn't 112 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:26,200 Speaker 3: that was an aspect of his game that we saw 113 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:28,599 Speaker 3: at Oklahoma, you know, when. 114 00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:29,120 Speaker 1: We drafted him. 115 00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:31,440 Speaker 3: So, you know, he's just continued to grow and continue 116 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:33,120 Speaker 3: to develop, and he's a he's a bright young player 117 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:34,040 Speaker 3: that we're excited about. 118 00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:35,240 Speaker 1: You were he in the city. 119 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:37,479 Speaker 5: You obviously had like a number one receiver, game breaking 120 00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:38,080 Speaker 5: tech player. 121 00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 2: What does that do for an offense and how does 122 00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:42,280 Speaker 2: that challenge depends when you have a guy like that. 123 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:45,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, anytime, anytime you can get those matchups, That's what 124 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,560 Speaker 3: this league's about, is getting them right. Matchups, you know, 125 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:51,159 Speaker 3: one of your better players and one of their lesser players. 126 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:53,920 Speaker 3: So wherever you can formate that and really the position 127 00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:56,400 Speaker 3: you're talking about receiver, it could be a tight end, 128 00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:57,800 Speaker 3: it could be a running back, it could be a 129 00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:01,600 Speaker 3: formation that creates those miss So that's what this game 130 00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:03,800 Speaker 3: is about. His league's about. So it's a you know, 131 00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:06,720 Speaker 3: personnel league, and and then as coaches, you look at 132 00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:08,440 Speaker 3: those players and you put them in the spots, and 133 00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:10,880 Speaker 3: then you create the seams and you get creative with 134 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:12,640 Speaker 3: how you can get those guys in football. 135 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:16,359 Speaker 2: I'm intrigued to you to see Eliku possibly you know, 136 00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:18,039 Speaker 2: get an opportunity to go up against a guy like 137 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,559 Speaker 2: saus Gardner next week to kind of, you know, given 138 00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:22,720 Speaker 2: that experience, or see how he kind of stacks up 139 00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:23,240 Speaker 2: in that regard. 140 00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:25,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean that's that's kind of a little bit 141 00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:29,479 Speaker 3: further in the future here. But we're excited about you know, Houston, 142 00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:32,960 Speaker 3: they got a talented group. Stingley's one of those premier 143 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,520 Speaker 3: corners that we gotta we gotta look at, and I 144 00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:36,840 Speaker 3: think it'll be a good matchup all round. 145 00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:38,360 Speaker 1: They're a really good defense with a lot of production. 146 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:40,320 Speaker 1: They used to be others worth growing there. 147 00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:42,560 Speaker 4: It was hard for rookie wide receivers to come in 148 00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:44,640 Speaker 4: and make a big impact. You know, the change from 149 00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,960 Speaker 4: college to the NFL. Not necessarily about Molik now, but 150 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,640 Speaker 4: in general, do you think it is easier for these 151 00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:52,040 Speaker 4: young guys to make the transition? 152 00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:54,479 Speaker 3: And if so, wise I don't know if I would 153 00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:59,320 Speaker 3: say it's easier, I would just say each each player 154 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:01,200 Speaker 3: has it's kind of a its own way of growing 155 00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:04,039 Speaker 3: within that within that team, within that system, because there's 156 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:06,839 Speaker 3: a lot of factors that go into it. And you know, 157 00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:10,200 Speaker 3: I really believe in our development plan with with Daves, 158 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:14,320 Speaker 3: myself and the receiver group, coach Grow and Kaid. Those 159 00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:16,320 Speaker 3: guys do a great job of really kind of breaking 160 00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:18,560 Speaker 3: it down for the young players to make sure they 161 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:20,720 Speaker 3: understand their rules, their assignments and they can go. 162 00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:21,400 Speaker 1: And execute them. 163 00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:25,120 Speaker 3: That's probably as important as anything. When you look at 164 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:27,920 Speaker 3: each team and each young players, you gotta see how 165 00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:30,280 Speaker 3: that developed development plan is built up. 166 00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:34,800 Speaker 6: Might be attack the running back and the run game 167 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,680 Speaker 6: differently around the league now you see different teams want to. 168 00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:41,039 Speaker 1: Take different approaches for you and what you guys have 169 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:43,680 Speaker 1: now the advantages. 170 00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:45,760 Speaker 6: You look for a receiver can you look for those 171 00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:49,560 Speaker 6: advantages with different styles in a run game situation where 172 00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:52,839 Speaker 6: you have these guys who seemingly all bring something different 173 00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:53,800 Speaker 6: to the table. 174 00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:58,120 Speaker 1: As far as like a schemer per well the scheme 175 00:06:58,160 --> 00:06:58,920 Speaker 1: and end player. 176 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:00,760 Speaker 6: Just the idea of how matches up on a week 177 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:02,560 Speaker 6: to week basis a lot different than maybe what you 178 00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:04,880 Speaker 6: had last year in terms of having that one player 179 00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:07,000 Speaker 6: who you know you knew was really going to be 180 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:07,800 Speaker 6: the bellcap. 181 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:08,800 Speaker 1: Yeah. 182 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,840 Speaker 3: And I think as we've grown as an offense from 183 00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:14,480 Speaker 3: year one to year two, you know, in year one 184 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:16,920 Speaker 3: we're we're kind of working through that with with with 185 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:20,680 Speaker 3: the people we had on offense. Year two kind of similar, right, 186 00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:22,520 Speaker 3: and then we had to deal with some injuries. So 187 00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:24,120 Speaker 3: we've been able to kind of work through it as 188 00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:26,680 Speaker 3: a staff things that we really like and we can 189 00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:27,360 Speaker 3: get too quickly. 190 00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:29,000 Speaker 1: So going into year three. 191 00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:32,040 Speaker 3: We feel confident, you know, enough to continue to add 192 00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:34,760 Speaker 3: things the guy's plates as they're more familiar with the offense, 193 00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:37,000 Speaker 3: find things in the defense that we can get to 194 00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:40,040 Speaker 3: and understand a little bit more about our players on 195 00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,640 Speaker 3: what their strengths are and get to those things faster. 196 00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:45,960 Speaker 6: What are I don't know, how good your crystal ball was, 197 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,440 Speaker 6: But how long will it take JMS and Evan to 198 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:50,960 Speaker 6: ramp up to getting into the game. 199 00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:55,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'd probably lean on Dabs on the on the 200 00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:57,640 Speaker 3: actual timeline of that, But I know they're working their 201 00:07:57,640 --> 00:07:59,720 Speaker 3: tail off in the in the training room and they 202 00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:00,520 Speaker 3: want to be out. 203 00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:03,480 Speaker 2: There with running now being on that left side now 204 00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:07,120 Speaker 2: next to Andrew Thomas at least mores and that's the 205 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:10,960 Speaker 2: way you guys are headed from an offensive standpoint. Does 206 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:14,480 Speaker 2: that change or you know, make you lean one way 207 00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:16,640 Speaker 2: when you regard in regards to play cone code, those 208 00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:19,400 Speaker 2: might be our two best offensive linement or let's you know, 209 00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:22,680 Speaker 2: try to lean on them and run behind them more. 210 00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:25,239 Speaker 2: How do you view that when that's that's a great question. 211 00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:27,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, you have to You definitely have to take that 212 00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:29,000 Speaker 3: into a kind of thing when you're building the planned 213 00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:32,720 Speaker 3: But if you if you want to be multiple, you 214 00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:35,040 Speaker 3: can't just do that every snap, you know, so you 215 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,720 Speaker 3: think about it. You you certainly talk about what schemes 216 00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:40,439 Speaker 3: do our players handle the best, whether it's a double 217 00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:42,200 Speaker 3: team on the left side, whether it's a gap scheme 218 00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:44,880 Speaker 3: on the right side, for example, Like those are things 219 00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:48,400 Speaker 3: that we talk about a lot of and when if 220 00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:50,200 Speaker 3: you need to get to that in game, then we 221 00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:52,440 Speaker 3: then we can. You know, it's all about just understanding 222 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:53,720 Speaker 3: our players strengths and weaknesses
