1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,760 Speaker 1: Let me keep it going. I just want to start 2 00:00:02,759 --> 00:00:04,720 Speaker 1: off with a couple a couple of things about who's 3 00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:07,800 Speaker 1: gonna not practice today. Obviously, Randy Gregory will not practice today, 4 00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:11,559 Speaker 1: he's in COVID protocol. Nashan Wright is attending a personal 5 00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:19,000 Speaker 1: personal matter, and Donovan Wilson will not practice. Growing questions please, 6 00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:21,560 Speaker 1: for David, I think you have a boy than no 7 00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:23,960 Speaker 1: one else has gone on the COVID list since Randy has. 8 00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:28,320 Speaker 1: You're clear on that products, So that side for Wilson, 9 00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:32,680 Speaker 1: that growing, that aggregation of what the consubs. Yeah, yeah, 10 00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:35,520 Speaker 1: I think that's fair. Yeah. So, um, just not where 11 00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:37,120 Speaker 1: we thought it would be or hope it to be today. 12 00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:40,320 Speaker 1: So just being smart with him. Played a lot of 13 00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:44,240 Speaker 1: football Thursday too, I mean it's yesterday, and the radio 14 00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:46,239 Speaker 1: said that the plane is to go with steel as 15 00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:48,320 Speaker 1: your right tackle. Is that how you guys are looking 16 00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:50,840 Speaker 1: at it? Well, I'll just say this's about the right tackle. 17 00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:53,239 Speaker 1: We'll work all the combinations that we've been working to 18 00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:57,080 Speaker 1: this point. I mean, the obvious is I'll see will 19 00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:00,000 Speaker 1: not be there. But so we'll sort it out there 20 00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:03,200 Speaker 1: at the end of the week. And there's Zach is 21 00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:05,919 Speaker 1: not one of the companies you're looking at there. We'll 22 00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:07,160 Speaker 1: just sort it out at the end of the week. 23 00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:12,160 Speaker 1: You're working for combination. It's not Terence still, but it's 24 00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:14,120 Speaker 1: a full going right Tile. He's part of the one 25 00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:18,480 Speaker 1: of the options definitely, but you're not doing snaps exclusively 26 00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:21,479 Speaker 1: with one guy. You're still spreading the first Tame snaps around. 27 00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:24,479 Speaker 1: I always thought you only had to avoid the question two, 28 00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:26,840 Speaker 1: two or three times. I didn't think it went the 29 00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:30,680 Speaker 1: I think it went the four. This is new record. Hey, 30 00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:37,440 Speaker 1: I appreciate. I'm all about setting records. Yeah, there is 31 00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:39,360 Speaker 1: there hope for Randy Gregor that he could play some 32 00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:41,640 Speaker 1: there war year with day situation. I mean if you 33 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:43,760 Speaker 1: look at the history, uh, you know, it's it's been 34 00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:47,560 Speaker 1: ten days for pretty much you know, everybody that we've 35 00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:51,560 Speaker 1: dealt with in the COVID protocols. So um, but we'll 36 00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:55,200 Speaker 1: just we'll just see how see how it goes. How's 37 00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:58,960 Speaker 1: that Martin Belly coming back COVID. Uh looks good, it 38 00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,280 Speaker 1: feels good. We're you know, will start him off with 39 00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:03,440 Speaker 1: the individual and just just keep an eye on today. 40 00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:08,120 Speaker 1: But I mean he's in the full go category. We 41 00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:12,840 Speaker 1: talked to you variety. I guess it was about THEE 42 00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:15,840 Speaker 1: and the running game and um why that game was 43 00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:18,200 Speaker 1: unique in things? How important is it too? Even if 44 00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:20,640 Speaker 1: there are heavy boxes, it's still running and I can 45 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:22,680 Speaker 1: show you can still have success when you're running against 46 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:24,840 Speaker 1: its kind of looks. I mean, really, I think it 47 00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:27,440 Speaker 1: comes down what's the definition of balance? And I think 48 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:31,160 Speaker 1: sometimes when you know, when the word balance is strode 49 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:35,120 Speaker 1: out there, you know, it gets you know, put put 50 00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:36,639 Speaker 1: in the view of it needs to be in a 51 00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:39,840 Speaker 1: run or past category. And and that's not really true 52 00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:42,639 Speaker 1: from from our perspective. I mean, I think when you're 53 00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:45,560 Speaker 1: looking at balance, particularly a normal down of distance, you 54 00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:48,120 Speaker 1: want to make sure you're run blocking unit in the 55 00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:51,960 Speaker 1: past protection unit have some balance. Some of the point 56 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,200 Speaker 1: I'm making is if you the RPOs, you know, the 57 00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:57,440 Speaker 1: run blocking unit is still coming off the ball, you 58 00:02:57,520 --> 00:02:59,720 Speaker 1: know there's still you know, you and I know they 59 00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:02,640 Speaker 1: get categorizes throws because the ball is thrown to the perimeter. 60 00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:06,519 Speaker 1: So that's really you know, I think that the part 61 00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:08,799 Speaker 1: that we pay attention to because we don't want to. 62 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:10,280 Speaker 1: You know, when you see you know, the first thing 63 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:11,799 Speaker 1: you see is you see a team that's throwing the 64 00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:14,799 Speaker 1: ball fifty plus times. You go. I know I do. 65 00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:18,440 Speaker 1: From an offensive perspective, it's oh my god, you know 66 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,200 Speaker 1: the tackles are on our heels the whole game, or 67 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:23,400 Speaker 1: you know, the line is on our heels the whole game. 68 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:25,919 Speaker 1: But if you know fifteen of those are RPOs, that's 69 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:29,720 Speaker 1: not necessarily true. So I think that's when we talk 70 00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:31,760 Speaker 1: about balance, that's what we're talking to. We're not just 71 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:36,480 Speaker 1: talking about this many runs or this many passes decare 72 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:40,280 Speaker 1: at all, whether I mean yards or yards like you've said, 73 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:43,600 Speaker 1: Kelly has said, does it matter or over the course 74 00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:45,680 Speaker 1: of the game, is there something to be said for 75 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:49,240 Speaker 1: you still don't have to have that presence otherwise you 76 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,040 Speaker 1: kind of go away from it. Then suddenly you're one dimensional. 77 00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:54,040 Speaker 1: Well it's not eating your head against the wall. But 78 00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:56,560 Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, I think you've answered the question, and 79 00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:58,760 Speaker 1: it's more about the threat and the activity up front. 80 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:00,720 Speaker 1: You know. I think at the end of the day, 81 00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:04,480 Speaker 1: we went the yards, um so, but there are body blows, 82 00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:07,360 Speaker 1: particularly when you're playing against you know, certain defensive linemen 83 00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:10,400 Speaker 1: or particularly pass rushers. You know, you don't want to 84 00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:13,320 Speaker 1: be where your tackles, you know, vertical setting all day. 85 00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:15,400 Speaker 1: So I mean you got to have the opportunity to 86 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:18,800 Speaker 1: to give different sets, jump sets. You know obviously run 87 00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 1: game coming off the ball, different combinations, so that that's 88 00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:27,480 Speaker 1: where my our focus is so um but yeah, I 89 00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:30,320 Speaker 1: mean it's when you see the stats, it's, oh my god, 90 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:32,880 Speaker 1: they're not running the ball enough. And I've heard that 91 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:36,440 Speaker 1: one time before, so uh, you know, so I get it. 92 00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,280 Speaker 1: But uh, you know, our goal is to make sure 93 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:45,720 Speaker 1: we're taking care of our front guys along with the production. No, 94 00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:49,000 Speaker 1: he hasn't really hasn't. Um, you know, I know I 95 00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:51,360 Speaker 1: say this all the time, but he's the same guy 96 00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:53,640 Speaker 1: every day. I mean, he's in the quarterback meetings earlier 97 00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:59,080 Speaker 1: and so he's all football. He understands exactly the why 98 00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:03,159 Speaker 1: of what we're doing. So um, he's uh, he's definitely 99 00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:06,800 Speaker 1: on board. Did you think I've been shooting? Can you 100 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:09,040 Speaker 1: think in the game there were times where on the 101 00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:10,800 Speaker 1: archeo as you could have round it a few times 102 00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:12,920 Speaker 1: where maybe he didn't or are you pretty happy with me? 103 00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:15,400 Speaker 1: I was happy with the decision making. I think, like anything, 104 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:17,240 Speaker 1: when you're you know, there's always an extra element. That's 105 00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:19,000 Speaker 1: why you throw the ball. So where is the element 106 00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:22,280 Speaker 1: is an immediate threat? Um? Is it is it is 107 00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:25,760 Speaker 1: it a depth a threat from depth. So that's those 108 00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,320 Speaker 1: are the things we really look at and something I'm 109 00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:30,800 Speaker 1: very particular on um. I think when you do have 110 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,920 Speaker 1: the extra hat, you know there's certain angles to the 111 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:35,640 Speaker 1: ball carrier that you got to you gotta be in 112 00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:37,800 Speaker 1: tune with. And at the end of the day, if 113 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:39,680 Speaker 1: you're going to leave a free hat for a runner, 114 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,360 Speaker 1: I've always preferred to leave the vertical one because the 115 00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:46,120 Speaker 1: horizontal shot is a is ahead, it's a potential you know, 116 00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:49,680 Speaker 1: ball extraction opportunity for the defense. So all those things 117 00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:52,320 Speaker 1: playing it, that's why you know, that's why coaches work 118 00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:55,000 Speaker 1: the hours that they do, and that's how we you know, 119 00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:56,360 Speaker 1: we implement it. But at the end of the day, 120 00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:59,240 Speaker 1: the quarterback has to make that decision. And I thought 121 00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:01,840 Speaker 1: that had a very good night last week in that 122 00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:05,320 Speaker 1: in that area. YEA from our physical stampboard, is it. 123 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:07,840 Speaker 1: I hear what you're saying about the yard and the yard, 124 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,240 Speaker 1: but at the goal on red zone, is that where 125 00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:12,360 Speaker 1: you want to be better running the model just so 126 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:14,720 Speaker 1: if you can running those because you could be that's 127 00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:17,080 Speaker 1: a good point every every year. I mean, let's be honest, 128 00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:18,960 Speaker 1: I mean the red zone is I mean, that's a 129 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:21,240 Speaker 1: different animal itself. There's less spaced down there. You know, 130 00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:23,680 Speaker 1: there's a there's a there's a there's a type and 131 00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:25,400 Speaker 1: a style or run game that you have to have 132 00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:28,480 Speaker 1: down there. You know, phone booth, common color, those types 133 00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:29,840 Speaker 1: of things. But you know, when you do get the 134 00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:32,080 Speaker 1: ball out on the perimeter, you know, like the one 135 00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:34,600 Speaker 1: opportunity and the second level blocking is is that a 136 00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:38,320 Speaker 1: premium too, So that that's the benefit of you know, 137 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:40,839 Speaker 1: of the RPOs or to run you know, run pass 138 00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:44,000 Speaker 1: options UM the PRPs we call them. So we have 139 00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:47,200 Speaker 1: different types and that's that's why it's important to you know, 140 00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:50,560 Speaker 1: once again it's it's more responsibility for the quarterback, UM, 141 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:53,080 Speaker 1: the line and the run blocking units still you know, 142 00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:56,040 Speaker 1: coming off the ball. So and there's obviously benefits that 143 00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:59,080 Speaker 1: come off of that with the action pass on that 144 00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:08,440 Speaker 1: play in the second block block safety specifically, wife, we're 145 00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:12,480 Speaker 1: on to the chargers. If you don't move from Zach 146 00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:16,680 Speaker 1: or how to right tackle, is there a consideration that 147 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,000 Speaker 1: coming in that right guard really helps your center or 148 00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:21,960 Speaker 1: solidifying the offensive line in other words, is that one 149 00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:25,120 Speaker 1: of those considerations that he would perhaps not made that move. 150 00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:28,520 Speaker 1: I mean definitely. And also, you know, the right guard 151 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:31,040 Speaker 1: definitely helps who's playing right tackle too. So I think 152 00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:34,160 Speaker 1: at the end of the day, you know, Zach playing 153 00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:36,920 Speaker 1: right guard is a huge benefit to us because something 154 00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:40,160 Speaker 1: just the caliber player that he is, you know, as 155 00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:42,680 Speaker 1: far as his ability to win a matchup, but also 156 00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:46,160 Speaker 1: what he brings inside, you know, with the recognition and 157 00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:48,880 Speaker 1: so forth. I mean, the guards and centers are definitely 158 00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:51,400 Speaker 1: trained the same. So there's you know, there's calls. I mean, 159 00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:54,040 Speaker 1: I mean, crowd noise. We're gonna work it this week. 160 00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:55,760 Speaker 1: I don't know how big of a factor it's going 161 00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:59,119 Speaker 1: to be, but you know, those those things are something 162 00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:01,760 Speaker 1: you really focus on when you have a young center 163 00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:08,520 Speaker 1: that you know the guards can help playing. Randy said, again, yeah, definitely, Doran, 164 00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:11,280 Speaker 1: We'll take a lot of those reps. I understand that 165 00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:16,080 Speaker 1: you loved the offseason that Steel had on the field 166 00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:20,800 Speaker 1: training can uh preseason, what did you see in him 167 00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:25,280 Speaker 1: different and improving from what you saw here? I would 168 00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:27,440 Speaker 1: say he improved in every area. I mean, he's uh, 169 00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:29,840 Speaker 1: you know, he came in here right away. You can 170 00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:34,000 Speaker 1: see he established and you know, his understanding was he 171 00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:36,480 Speaker 1: was definitely for a young guy, was probably in front 172 00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:40,679 Speaker 1: of the room and definitely my experience for young offensive linemen, 173 00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:42,800 Speaker 1: so he picked it up right away. You know, the 174 00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:45,120 Speaker 1: thing you saw right in the conditioning part of it 175 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:46,559 Speaker 1: when you had the rookies is you know, you know, 176 00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:48,679 Speaker 1: he could run and he could really move, so we 177 00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:51,319 Speaker 1: were excited about that. But you know, coming off his 178 00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:55,360 Speaker 1: experience last year, you know, he just really needed to 179 00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:57,360 Speaker 1: and committed to the weight room. So he's a lot 180 00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:01,040 Speaker 1: stronger um so, and he does you know, he does 181 00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:04,000 Speaker 1: everything the same way every day. And I was just 182 00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:06,040 Speaker 1: came from the training room before I came in here, 183 00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:08,920 Speaker 1: and you know, Zach Martin comes in there and gets 184 00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:11,439 Speaker 1: taped the same time every day, and Terrence Steel comes 185 00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:13,240 Speaker 1: right after him the same time every day. And it's 186 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:14,800 Speaker 1: just that I was just talking to trainers about it, 187 00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:18,400 Speaker 1: and you know, because you're always in tune with the 188 00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:21,160 Speaker 1: veterans kind of helping the rookies, and I was just 189 00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:23,199 Speaker 1: made the point to him. I said, you know, if 190 00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:25,560 Speaker 1: I was a young offensive line I follow Zach Martin 191 00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:28,319 Speaker 1: Roun all day too, So so that's that's the kind 192 00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:31,040 Speaker 1: of guy Terrence. Terrence Steele is one of the things 193 00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:33,319 Speaker 1: that came up on the broadcast free game. Was that 194 00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:36,720 Speaker 1: Dak Prescott getting an MRI in every two weeks? Where 195 00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:39,240 Speaker 1: do you guys call being to accomplish from that and 196 00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:42,640 Speaker 1: see with that MRI. I wouldn't want to hear about 197 00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:46,520 Speaker 1: injury requiring this by anything tast I think, like any 198 00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:50,160 Speaker 1: injury when it devolves a muscle strain or so forth, 199 00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:52,679 Speaker 1: there's always follow up to it. So I don't I 200 00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:57,560 Speaker 1: don't think it's any more than that yet. I'm sorry 201 00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:01,559 Speaker 1: since the last I can't, can't, I'm not. I'm not 202 00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:07,080 Speaker 1: exactly sure jans ability to write offensive game plan asterized 203 00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:13,360 Speaker 1: care well, he's has has a lot of length. Um 204 00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:17,199 Speaker 1: is that a fine? Guys? Fine? Okay, okay, just noted? 205 00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:24,520 Speaker 1: Um that's an issue? Um, I mean really when you're 206 00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:27,280 Speaker 1: when you're watching play and I'm obviously coming out as 207 00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:29,760 Speaker 1: a as a high pick and just at the high state, 208 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:34,839 Speaker 1: you know, he he's a very smooth athlete, has excellent twitch, 209 00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:38,599 Speaker 1: a lot long lever than I think you realized. You know, 210 00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:41,040 Speaker 1: because we haven't played these guys and this is will 211 00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:42,679 Speaker 1: be a new experience. This is what we referred to 212 00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:45,760 Speaker 1: as an uncommon opponents, So we spend a little more 213 00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:47,520 Speaker 1: time on that in the team meetings, in the early 214 00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:52,000 Speaker 1: group meetings, making sure we really identify their personnel and 215 00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:55,480 Speaker 1: and and he was definitely at the top of the list, 216 00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:58,360 Speaker 1: you know for our offensive guys. So, um, just an 217 00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:01,640 Speaker 1: excellent player, has a great understand ending they're moving around. 218 00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:05,800 Speaker 1: There a multiple defensive front football team, So we gotta 219 00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:08,400 Speaker 1: we gotta be really good at you know, locating him 220 00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:14,040 Speaker 1: and knowing where he is at all times. Clare's about 221 00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:17,560 Speaker 1: justin herbert disability and her eyes are always up, move 222 00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:23,679 Speaker 1: not run. See. Is he pretty young player that seems 223 00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:28,640 Speaker 1: like might be very very impressed with him. I mean, 224 00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:30,880 Speaker 1: obviously he was Rookie the Year last year. UM, but 225 00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:33,920 Speaker 1: his ability to not only keep his eyes down the field, 226 00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:35,839 Speaker 1: he has the athletic ability to make plays in and 227 00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:38,559 Speaker 1: out of the pocket, but he can make any throat 228 00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:41,280 Speaker 1: all quadrants. You know. And it's the parier group too, 229 00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:44,040 Speaker 1: is a you know, they're very long leverage. I mean, 230 00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:47,839 Speaker 1: this is a very tall receiver group, UM, and you'll 231 00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:51,160 Speaker 1: see a lot of you know, contested catches. Uh. You know, 232 00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:55,400 Speaker 1: the catch radius on all their guys as significant, so 233 00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:58,079 Speaker 1: that you know that's what we're preparing for. UM. Their 234 00:11:58,160 --> 00:11:59,800 Speaker 1: yards after the catch will probably be one of the 235 00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:03,000 Speaker 1: best teams that we compete against this year. So you know, 236 00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:05,800 Speaker 1: not not only are they uncommon, but you know, we 237 00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:07,480 Speaker 1: feel like we have really good tape. We spend time 238 00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:10,040 Speaker 1: on them in the off season. But I've been impressed 239 00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:13,719 Speaker 1: with their personnel. Quarterbacks better prepared to play in these 240 00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:18,840 Speaker 1: days and they were fifteen years ago. I think it's, uh, 241 00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:22,200 Speaker 1: I'm not being critical. I think it's a very general ques. 242 00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:25,079 Speaker 1: I think I think in what area, you know, I think, um, 243 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,760 Speaker 1: they're better prepared to play more from the shotgun because 244 00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:30,199 Speaker 1: they do it more. You know. You know when I 245 00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:33,520 Speaker 1: first got in the league, you know, quarterbacks were always 246 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:35,160 Speaker 1: under center, and then when you took them to the gun, 247 00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:36,880 Speaker 1: it was a brand new experience. Now it's you know, 248 00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:41,679 Speaker 1: it's completely completely flipped. I mean, here's there's high draft 249 00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:44,439 Speaker 1: picks that come into the league in today's game that 250 00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:47,280 Speaker 1: have never been in the huddle. You know, I've never 251 00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:51,160 Speaker 1: called a play um having had to utilize cadence, you know, 252 00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:53,640 Speaker 1: but they they but they played their whole high school 253 00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:56,079 Speaker 1: and college career from the gun. So I would say 254 00:12:56,120 --> 00:13:00,240 Speaker 1: the situational football, you know, as far as third down, UM, 255 00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:03,880 Speaker 1: you know, the RPO game definitely more advances because they 256 00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:06,240 Speaker 1: do it more. I think the younger quarterbacks have a 257 00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:09,720 Speaker 1: really good understanding of it when they come into the league. Um, 258 00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:11,439 Speaker 1: and I think it's apparents just you know, just just 259 00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:13,600 Speaker 1: look at Sunday's games. If you know, as you watched 260 00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:15,760 Speaker 1: around the leagues, you can see, you know, a lot 261 00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:18,839 Speaker 1: of the UM schemes and did you see more in 262 00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:20,960 Speaker 1: college or in our game today? And they were ten 263 00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:23,880 Speaker 1: years ago? I think he had again with thirty one 264 00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:28,679 Speaker 1: touchdowns and ten interceptions. How impressive is that for and 265 00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:31,040 Speaker 1: rookie going through the league the first time? Is that 266 00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:34,000 Speaker 1: is that unusual? And another I think it's extremely impressive, 267 00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:35,959 Speaker 1: and it's it's really impressive for the way he plays. 268 00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:37,800 Speaker 1: I mean he's you know, he's not checking the ball 269 00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:40,360 Speaker 1: out all day. I mean, this guy's coming off his 270 00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:42,000 Speaker 1: back foot and he's ripping it. I mean there's a 271 00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:45,200 Speaker 1: lot of vertical throws. Um. You know, there's a lot 272 00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:48,240 Speaker 1: of fifty fifty balls. I mean, that's why we're really 273 00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:51,640 Speaker 1: focusing on the contested catch because of the size of 274 00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:54,960 Speaker 1: the receiving group. You know, Um, they're never they're never covered, 275 00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:57,520 Speaker 1: you know, And when you played that aggressively and go 276 00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:00,920 Speaker 1: thirty one ten. That's that's I think it's significant than 277 00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:04,839 Speaker 1: you prepare for that Petra practice, So contigulate that. Well, 278 00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:07,079 Speaker 1: I'll just frankly just compete. You know, we have we 279 00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:09,199 Speaker 1: have some long level guys too, So I mean it's 280 00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:11,719 Speaker 1: it's it's more of an emphasis and you just try 281 00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:15,679 Speaker 1: to generate those types of throws. UM in situations in 282 00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:20,080 Speaker 1: the competitive periods. Thank you feel overall about your ability 283 00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:24,120 Speaker 1: to pressure Brady in that opening game consistently over the 284 00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:25,760 Speaker 1: course of the game. Where would you right? What could 285 00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:28,120 Speaker 1: be better? Um? You know, I think our transition rush 286 00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:31,480 Speaker 1: and and and I know you know our defensive front 287 00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:34,080 Speaker 1: there they spend a little extra time this morning together, 288 00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:37,240 Speaker 1: so UM, just to learn from that and make sure 289 00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:39,920 Speaker 1: you know we're set on on this this next plan. 290 00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:43,000 Speaker 1: You know this is uh, it's an early season game, 291 00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:44,920 Speaker 1: so you're gonna have a lot of unscolet looks. It's 292 00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:47,080 Speaker 1: a new opponent. Uh, you know, they have come off 293 00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:49,240 Speaker 1: of a really nice road win. You know, they're they're 294 00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:51,560 Speaker 1: playing with a lot of confidence. So we're looking forward 295 00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:55,040 Speaker 1: to the to the challenge. Leve tackle it's later how 296 00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:57,080 Speaker 1: you've been going to We're just thinking of him coming out. 297 00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:00,760 Speaker 1: I mean, obviously he's left tackle and you know, played 298 00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:02,960 Speaker 1: play at a high level, and um, you know, I 299 00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:04,520 Speaker 1: think that I think the fact that they we did 300 00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:07,040 Speaker 1: their whole their whole offensive line has been impressive. You know, 301 00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:09,920 Speaker 1: you had, you know, Brian and Corey two former players, 302 00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:12,800 Speaker 1: you know, so I think the center, the center and 303 00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:15,960 Speaker 1: tackles that they're you know, they're they're good players, are 304 00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:18,440 Speaker 1: guards and you know, some moving parts there. So but 305 00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:20,760 Speaker 1: for just playing week one, you know, we thought they 306 00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:25,640 Speaker 1: did a really nice job on a personality. When you 307 00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:29,480 Speaker 1: look at the defensive system has definitely what you've seen 308 00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:33,920 Speaker 1: for much of your time. Um well, I mean I 309 00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:35,440 Speaker 1: see a lot of VIC fans you owing him so, 310 00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:37,840 Speaker 1: and I've competed a lot against Vic over the years, 311 00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:41,480 Speaker 1: so I mean, so there's a commonality there. But you know, 312 00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:43,840 Speaker 1: I think what you appreciate from Brandon, you know, is 313 00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:46,840 Speaker 1: you look at any coordinator when you when you we 314 00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:50,360 Speaker 1: look at coordinator's background, there's you know, there's usually if 315 00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:52,480 Speaker 1: he's a defensive back coach or you know, if he's 316 00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:56,760 Speaker 1: a defensive line coach, you can see starting points emphasis, 317 00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:59,320 Speaker 1: you know, where the thresholds of where you know who 318 00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:01,880 Speaker 1: which which which part of the defense that the stressed 319 00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:04,400 Speaker 1: the front end of the back end. Um. You know, Brandon, 320 00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:07,480 Speaker 1: I think with his offensive background, you know, former quarterback, 321 00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:09,760 Speaker 1: he looks at he looks at the game, you know 322 00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:12,200 Speaker 1: from a quarterback's perspective. And on the point I'm saying 323 00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:14,520 Speaker 1: is you see a lot in their disguise. You know, 324 00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:17,520 Speaker 1: they hold their disguise, you know, a little longer. They're 325 00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:20,160 Speaker 1: trying to you know, the whole theme of making a 326 00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:23,280 Speaker 1: quarterback play one second later. You know, that's a common 327 00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:26,840 Speaker 1: theme that you see and and defensive defenses that are 328 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:29,600 Speaker 1: high in scheme and high in disguise. And he definitely 329 00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:31,640 Speaker 1: has a heck of a system that presents that challenge. 330 00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:33,520 Speaker 1: He had a couple of drops and he took them. 331 00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:37,080 Speaker 1: What's been his mindset this week? Yeah? I think really 332 00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:38,920 Speaker 1: what's what was his mindset at the end of the game. 333 00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:40,640 Speaker 1: I mean, I think he did a really good job, 334 00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:44,120 Speaker 1: you know, turning the page, uh during the course of 335 00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:47,200 Speaker 1: the game. And that's what I really appreciate about cd um. 336 00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:49,920 Speaker 1: But now he's the same guy every days. He's doubting 337 00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:53,040 Speaker 1: how hopeful you feel that he's a coach has experienced 338 00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:55,240 Speaker 1: on the opposide of the ball. So you mentioned with 339 00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:57,720 Speaker 1: Brandon kind of bit an offensive background and he sees 340 00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:00,720 Speaker 1: some coaches with the defensive background of their first year, 341 00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:03,640 Speaker 1: they're offus a quality control what went for today to happen. 342 00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:06,119 Speaker 1: I think it's a great asset. I think it's you know, 343 00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:08,800 Speaker 1: should be part of every coach's background. You know, that's 344 00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:13,080 Speaker 1: I think UM coaches that go to quality control path, UM, 345 00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:16,280 Speaker 1: you know, even former players that come in quality control path. 346 00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:18,639 Speaker 1: It's such a great experience. I mean there's things that 347 00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:23,919 Speaker 1: you do as a quality control, quality control coach, thought process, work, ethic, 348 00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:28,479 Speaker 1: UM have a complete understand the analytical approach to how 349 00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:30,680 Speaker 1: everything's broken up. I think it's a huge benefit and 350 00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:33,120 Speaker 1: it's I know I look back in my days as 351 00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:36,440 Speaker 1: a quality control coach, there's there's still thought processes and 352 00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:39,240 Speaker 1: things that I use from those from that experience. It 353 00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:42,280 Speaker 1: might be talk about uncommon opponents and stated the obviously 354 00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:46,200 Speaker 1: are you run against the de guns last year? So 355 00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:48,520 Speaker 1: you have to guard against what we know this guy 356 00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:51,600 Speaker 1: is what they do when they go to a new team, 357 00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:54,040 Speaker 1: they're first found and all that. So well, I mean 358 00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:57,520 Speaker 1: we're no to answer your question. I don't think we 359 00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:00,680 Speaker 1: need to guard against that just particular way because you know, 360 00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:04,320 Speaker 1: obviously he's coaching a different team. You know, it's different personnel. Uh, 361 00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:06,920 Speaker 1: you know, how how is he utilizing Joey Bosa versus 362 00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:09,320 Speaker 1: Aaron Donald, you know sort of all the all those 363 00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:11,679 Speaker 1: things are part of that. And I mean Lynfield Josephs 364 00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:13,920 Speaker 1: someone that have a lot in common with, you know, 365 00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:17,040 Speaker 1: from his days in Minnesota. So you know, you know, 366 00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:20,119 Speaker 1: how how is he usualizing you know, Linfield as a 367 00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:21,760 Speaker 1: you know, as a shade and the one technique and 368 00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:24,040 Speaker 1: you know, so you'll see a squareness and a run 369 00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:28,040 Speaker 1: emphasis in their multiple front and not only multiple fronts, 370 00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:31,760 Speaker 1: but multiple defensive personnels. So, um, yeah, we're we're really 371 00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:36,440 Speaker 1: focusing on, you know, how he's utilizing his current personnel, 372 00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:40,320 Speaker 1: you know, schematically and uh, personnel utilization, you know, when 373 00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:42,040 Speaker 1: when they're you know, when they're coming in and when 374 00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:44,920 Speaker 1: they're not, you know, with with you know his story 375 00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:48,520 Speaker 1: Nickel Nickel defensive personnel. So we got to really make 376 00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:51,399 Speaker 1: short our guys are dialed into to the recognition that 377 00:18:51,400 --> 00:19:01,040 Speaker 1: who's in the game. Dann just Ruscott, Um, Well, I'd 378 00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:03,280 Speaker 1: say the number one that jumps out to me is 379 00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:06,640 Speaker 1: the aggressiveness in a way they play. I'm very decisive. Um, 380 00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:10,200 Speaker 1: you know, it's it's definitely they can play both in 381 00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:12,240 Speaker 1: the pocket. Now of the pocket, you know it's in. 382 00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:16,320 Speaker 1: You know, extend plays, make throws, you know throws, and frankly, 383 00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:20,320 Speaker 1: they both play with with a lot of confidence. Thank you, 384 00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:21,040 Speaker 1: thank you.
