WEBVTT - Press Pass: Frank Reich

0:00:07.000 --> 0:00:09.440
<v Speaker 1>If I said last week throughout a stat that I

0:00:09.480 --> 0:00:11.920
<v Speaker 1>thought that about seventy five percent, I remember reading or

0:00:11.960 --> 0:00:14.159
<v Speaker 1>hearing the seventy five percent of games we're decided by

0:00:14.200 --> 0:00:16.599
<v Speaker 1>one score left. I found out the answer because I

0:00:16.640 --> 0:00:22.760
<v Speaker 1>wasn't one hundred percent sure. And to quote get smart

0:00:22.800 --> 0:00:24.960
<v Speaker 1>from the old Maxwell Smart things. You know, watched that

0:00:25.040 --> 0:00:27.800
<v Speaker 1>growing up. I missed it by that much. It was

0:00:27.840 --> 0:00:30.320
<v Speaker 1>a little bit less than that. It was about fifty

0:00:30.360 --> 0:00:32.559
<v Speaker 1>some percent. So I just wanted to make that correction,

0:00:33.040 --> 0:00:39.920
<v Speaker 1>hold myself accountable on that one point when he said it.

0:00:40.000 --> 0:00:42.080
<v Speaker 1>I can't quite do it a good imitation of it.

0:00:42.120 --> 0:00:48.239
<v Speaker 1>But anyway, Yeah, Bryce Treg's active and it seemed like

0:00:48.240 --> 0:00:50.959
<v Speaker 1>he provided that deep threat for you guys. How much

0:00:50.960 --> 0:00:54.040
<v Speaker 1>did that help the other guys just to have him

0:00:54.160 --> 0:00:57.120
<v Speaker 1>kind of stressed the field? Yeah, I think havin Bryce

0:00:57.280 --> 0:01:00.680
<v Speaker 1>was it was an injection of speed, you know, to

0:01:00.760 --> 0:01:03.000
<v Speaker 1>the offense, and I think it helped not only are

0:01:03.040 --> 0:01:04.839
<v Speaker 1>the players. I think that helped us as coaches, helped

0:01:04.880 --> 0:01:06.880
<v Speaker 1>us on our minds. That helped me in my mindset,

0:01:06.920 --> 0:01:09.759
<v Speaker 1>I know, just thinking about the way you know, script

0:01:09.800 --> 0:01:12.240
<v Speaker 1>and plays last week in practice, Let's throw it deep,

0:01:12.560 --> 0:01:15.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, let's throw it deep and everybody kind of

0:01:15.080 --> 0:01:17.280
<v Speaker 1>feeds off that, so that that was good energy he brought.

0:01:17.319 --> 0:01:19.360
<v Speaker 1>And then of course you still got to make the play,

0:01:19.440 --> 0:01:21.600
<v Speaker 1>which he did, and that that was good for our

0:01:21.640 --> 0:01:24.959
<v Speaker 1>offense up some of the other neat stuff and even

0:01:25.000 --> 0:01:28.520
<v Speaker 1>didn't even the run game. It helps them massively. I mean,

0:01:29.240 --> 0:01:31.520
<v Speaker 1>the longer you go, the more games you play and

0:01:31.680 --> 0:01:34.080
<v Speaker 1>don't stretch the field, the field starts shrinking on you.

0:01:34.120 --> 0:01:36.000
<v Speaker 1>And that's a real bad feeling as a quarterback when

0:01:36.040 --> 0:01:38.840
<v Speaker 1>you feel the field shrinking. Um, So you got to

0:01:38.880 --> 0:01:42.240
<v Speaker 1>continue to push the ball down the field. We've been

0:01:42.400 --> 0:01:44.360
<v Speaker 1>calling in numroom. But thankfully last week we got to

0:01:44.400 --> 0:01:46.679
<v Speaker 1>go in in that in that way at least. I mean,

0:01:46.720 --> 0:01:48.400
<v Speaker 1>there were a lot of other areas that we didn't

0:01:48.400 --> 0:01:50.920
<v Speaker 1>do so well, but that was an area that was

0:01:50.960 --> 0:01:54.120
<v Speaker 1>a bright spot for us. Sure, what area you're not

0:01:54.160 --> 0:01:57.160
<v Speaker 1>happy with? The third dat conversions? Is that more a

0:01:57.280 --> 0:02:01.640
<v Speaker 1>productive to make third lows? It's certainly that's a part

0:02:01.680 --> 0:02:04.640
<v Speaker 1>of it. But you know it's something that we work

0:02:04.760 --> 0:02:07.560
<v Speaker 1>very hard at. You know, we trust the process, we

0:02:07.640 --> 0:02:09.639
<v Speaker 1>trust the plan, we trust the people. We just got

0:02:09.639 --> 0:02:12.959
<v Speaker 1>to keep working coaches, players together. We just got to

0:02:13.040 --> 0:02:15.000
<v Speaker 1>make a commitment that we're going to find a way

0:02:15.040 --> 0:02:17.560
<v Speaker 1>to get better. Usually you watch third downs, like I

0:02:17.600 --> 0:02:19.679
<v Speaker 1>always go back after every game and watch every third

0:02:19.680 --> 0:02:23.200
<v Speaker 1>down two or three times and to evaluate, first are

0:02:23.200 --> 0:02:25.400
<v Speaker 1>we putting the guys in the right position? What are

0:02:25.400 --> 0:02:27.640
<v Speaker 1>we doing from an execution standpoint? And then what are

0:02:27.639 --> 0:02:30.760
<v Speaker 1>we doing from a playmaking standpoint? And invariably there's a

0:02:30.880 --> 0:02:32.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, there's a handful that you think we just

0:02:32.800 --> 0:02:34.240
<v Speaker 1>should have had that, and if we made two or

0:02:34.240 --> 0:02:35.800
<v Speaker 1>three more, it looks like we're a good day. But

0:02:36.560 --> 0:02:38.320
<v Speaker 1>at the end of the day, it's like coach always says,

0:02:38.320 --> 0:02:40.440
<v Speaker 1>there's no excuses. We just have to find better. What

0:02:40.600 --> 0:02:42.399
<v Speaker 1>we have to find ways to get better on third

0:02:42.400 --> 0:02:49.520
<v Speaker 1>down rules done play eight percent of the station. You know,

0:02:49.560 --> 0:02:52.679
<v Speaker 1>I think last week was really was not the plan

0:02:52.760 --> 0:02:54.720
<v Speaker 1>going into the last week's game. The way the game

0:02:54.760 --> 0:02:58.400
<v Speaker 1>plan was divided up, there were certain personnel groups that

0:02:58.520 --> 0:03:00.320
<v Speaker 1>Ryan was going to play. For instance, in our two

0:03:00.400 --> 0:03:02.760
<v Speaker 1>tight end package, Ryan was going to be featured in

0:03:02.800 --> 0:03:05.679
<v Speaker 1>that package, and going into the game, the plan was

0:03:05.720 --> 0:03:08.960
<v Speaker 1>to kind of mix our our three wide receiver package

0:03:09.000 --> 0:03:12.280
<v Speaker 1>and our two tight end package. You know, not fifty fifty,

0:03:12.320 --> 0:03:14.120
<v Speaker 1>but it would be a good mix and then you know,

0:03:14.160 --> 0:03:16.680
<v Speaker 1>we got behind early. It ended up being a game

0:03:16.680 --> 0:03:18.560
<v Speaker 1>in which we were a lot more three wide receiver

0:03:18.639 --> 0:03:22.160
<v Speaker 1>set than what were you plan for, And and Sprowles

0:03:22.200 --> 0:03:24.800
<v Speaker 1>was going to be featured in that personnel group, and

0:03:24.840 --> 0:03:27.120
<v Speaker 1>so that was, honestly, that was one of the reasons

0:03:27.320 --> 0:03:29.160
<v Speaker 1>we really thought it would play out a little bit differently.

0:03:29.200 --> 0:03:33.240
<v Speaker 1>So but then certainly, you know, Darren's a great player,

0:03:33.280 --> 0:03:34.960
<v Speaker 1>and it's hard to want to take him off the field,

0:03:34.960 --> 0:03:38.000
<v Speaker 1>but we just have to keep reminding ourselves that's it's

0:03:38.160 --> 0:03:40.480
<v Speaker 1>good to mix it. We got a lot of talented players.

0:03:40.560 --> 0:03:42.840
<v Speaker 1>Let's use them all right. He's in sample size with

0:03:42.920 --> 0:03:45.680
<v Speaker 1>Carson now at the halfway point. What's your assessment of

0:03:46.120 --> 0:03:47.920
<v Speaker 1>his playing the different things that he's had to work?

0:03:47.960 --> 0:03:50.440
<v Speaker 1>For me, I couldn't be anymore glad we got this guy.

0:03:50.680 --> 0:03:53.880
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I'm really he's a he's he's a good player.

0:03:54.000 --> 0:03:56.120
<v Speaker 1>He's you know, the start of his first eight games

0:03:56.160 --> 0:03:58.600
<v Speaker 1>of his career, there's been a lot of really shining moments.

0:03:58.960 --> 0:04:01.200
<v Speaker 1>You know, like all of us, like everybody in this room,

0:04:01.240 --> 0:04:03.280
<v Speaker 1>who goes out and works every week to prepare for

0:04:03.320 --> 0:04:05.600
<v Speaker 1>these games, and then you go out and you play,

0:04:05.680 --> 0:04:07.600
<v Speaker 1>you actually have to play. You can't just do it

0:04:07.880 --> 0:04:09.720
<v Speaker 1>in the meeting room or on the practice field. You

0:04:09.760 --> 0:04:11.760
<v Speaker 1>really got to go out compete in one of the

0:04:11.800 --> 0:04:15.160
<v Speaker 1>highest competitive industries. There is one of the hardest position

0:04:15.200 --> 0:04:17.440
<v Speaker 1>to plays. And you know, I think he's he's done well.

0:04:17.480 --> 0:04:20.240
<v Speaker 1>He's made his mistakes, but we all have and I'm

0:04:20.240 --> 0:04:22.400
<v Speaker 1>just glad he's on our team. And I think the

0:04:22.480 --> 0:04:24.839
<v Speaker 1>future is very bright, and I think the near future

0:04:24.920 --> 0:04:30.120
<v Speaker 1>is very bright. Lest the acron thing he was, I

0:04:30.160 --> 0:04:34.240
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't say, well, I don't know. I don't it doesn't

0:04:34.279 --> 0:04:36.599
<v Speaker 1>feel that way to me. Um, it doesn't feel that

0:04:36.640 --> 0:04:38.680
<v Speaker 1>way to me, But I don't know. I mean, I

0:04:38.680 --> 0:04:40.800
<v Speaker 1>guess we could go back and measure, you know, the

0:04:41.200 --> 0:04:45.240
<v Speaker 1>statistical thing on each throw. I feel like he works

0:04:45.240 --> 0:04:49.400
<v Speaker 1>hard as mechanics. You know, you throw at forty seven times,

0:04:49.600 --> 0:04:54.680
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna miss some throws usually, so they're still making

0:04:54.720 --> 0:04:57.359
<v Speaker 1>a lot of good throws. Well down the field is

0:04:57.480 --> 0:04:59.680
<v Speaker 1>as much Sunday as it has all season. I think

0:05:00.160 --> 0:05:04.039
<v Speaker 1>times he had passes over twenty yards. Um, what was

0:05:04.400 --> 0:05:08.720
<v Speaker 1>New York shelling that kind of encourage you to do that? Yeah,

0:05:08.760 --> 0:05:12.240
<v Speaker 1>it was, you know, it was just coverage based, you know,

0:05:12.360 --> 0:05:16.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean they played some of those concepts that you know, honestly,

0:05:16.040 --> 0:05:17.960
<v Speaker 1>some of those plays that we hit downfield have been

0:05:18.000 --> 0:05:20.960
<v Speaker 1>in previous game plans. But at for instance, when you

0:05:21.040 --> 0:05:23.520
<v Speaker 1>just play a soft two deep zone, some of those

0:05:23.520 --> 0:05:25.479
<v Speaker 1>aren't as good. But you know, they played we caught

0:05:25.520 --> 0:05:27.840
<v Speaker 1>on the one to Bryce. They were in a blitz

0:05:28.000 --> 0:05:30.880
<v Speaker 1>palms coverage, which everyone around the league understands is a

0:05:30.960 --> 0:05:33.680
<v Speaker 1>kind of four across two under deep, and you know,

0:05:33.800 --> 0:05:35.560
<v Speaker 1>we just hit the right call at the right time,

0:05:36.120 --> 0:05:38.360
<v Speaker 1>and uh and hit the right you know where other

0:05:38.400 --> 0:05:41.280
<v Speaker 1>times we've called a similar play hoping to get that

0:05:41.400 --> 0:05:43.200
<v Speaker 1>and it's not that coverage, and then you got to

0:05:43.200 --> 0:05:45.520
<v Speaker 1>take the underneath stuff. So there were a couple of

0:05:45.600 --> 0:05:50.840
<v Speaker 1>things at work there, um, but certainly that was one

0:05:50.880 --> 0:05:57.800
<v Speaker 1>of them. The coverages dictated its question, you know, because

0:05:57.800 --> 0:06:00.720
<v Speaker 1>he added that speed that you mentioned into lineup. Why

0:06:00.960 --> 0:06:02.280
<v Speaker 1>do you think it took so long to kind of

0:06:02.279 --> 0:06:04.280
<v Speaker 1>get him in the line But it wasn't. The injury

0:06:04.360 --> 0:06:06.720
<v Speaker 1>was a learning the offers Bowl. I mean, I think

0:06:06.760 --> 0:06:08.480
<v Speaker 1>some of it is we got him late. You know,

0:06:08.640 --> 0:06:10.800
<v Speaker 1>you just tend to We worked a whole off season

0:06:11.160 --> 0:06:13.560
<v Speaker 1>with all with our other guys, and we got Bryce late,

0:06:13.600 --> 0:06:16.760
<v Speaker 1>and you know, I'm not gonna I'm not gonna lie.

0:06:16.800 --> 0:06:19.600
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I didn't know. We get the report from

0:06:19.600 --> 0:06:21.560
<v Speaker 1>how and A scouts. Hey, we like this guy, that's

0:06:21.600 --> 0:06:24.240
<v Speaker 1>why they're bringing him in here. Let's think about how,

0:06:24.360 --> 0:06:25.719
<v Speaker 1>you know, how can we use a guy with this

0:06:25.839 --> 0:06:29.000
<v Speaker 1>kind of speed? And uh, but until you see it,

0:06:29.960 --> 0:06:32.120
<v Speaker 1>until you see it. And it took us being kind

0:06:32.120 --> 0:06:34.719
<v Speaker 1>of forced into having to use him with the situation

0:06:34.800 --> 0:06:38.360
<v Speaker 1>that we had. So that's good for Bryce, um, but

0:06:38.400 --> 0:06:40.200
<v Speaker 1>that that's pretty much I think the answer. I mean,

0:06:40.200 --> 0:06:42.559
<v Speaker 1>you've got that whole off season invested with those other guys,

0:06:42.560 --> 0:06:44.040
<v Speaker 1>and you know what you have, and so I think

0:06:44.080 --> 0:06:47.080
<v Speaker 1>there's a comfort in that. Like nine possessions inside the

0:06:47.080 --> 0:06:51.080
<v Speaker 1>twenty three and Carson through fifteen passes in that situation,

0:06:51.200 --> 0:06:53.240
<v Speaker 1>but none of this passes one only one one to

0:06:53.440 --> 0:06:55.480
<v Speaker 1>Decorates goes pretty much a check down. None of them

0:06:55.440 --> 0:06:57.320
<v Speaker 1>have been thrown to him in the end zone. Pretty much.

0:06:57.320 --> 0:07:00.560
<v Speaker 1>It's been it seems like that's been the trend all season.

0:07:00.880 --> 0:07:02.839
<v Speaker 1>What has been the issues of trying to get hurts

0:07:02.920 --> 0:07:04.640
<v Speaker 1>the ball in the in the end zone when you

0:07:04.680 --> 0:07:06.800
<v Speaker 1>guys are in the red zone. Yeah, I mean, you know,

0:07:06.839 --> 0:07:09.840
<v Speaker 1>that's you know, he's he's a guy we want to feature.

0:07:09.880 --> 0:07:11.680
<v Speaker 1>I mean, obviously last week was a big week for

0:07:11.800 --> 0:07:14.760
<v Speaker 1>Zach period and um, as you guys have noted, he

0:07:14.840 --> 0:07:19.560
<v Speaker 1>probably wasn't targeted as much into previous games period, not

0:07:19.800 --> 0:07:23.040
<v Speaker 1>just in the red zone. But to your point, um, yeah,

0:07:23.040 --> 0:07:26.000
<v Speaker 1>he's a playmaker. Um, we need to find ways to

0:07:26.000 --> 0:07:27.960
<v Speaker 1>get him the ball in the red zone. I would agree, right.

0:07:28.000 --> 0:07:30.840
<v Speaker 1>It's kind of the deal with the run game, have you, guys?

0:07:30.880 --> 0:07:32.840
<v Speaker 1>I mean, that's who you wanted the big at the

0:07:32.840 --> 0:07:35.040
<v Speaker 1>beginning of the year, a team that ran the ball,

0:07:35.400 --> 0:07:37.760
<v Speaker 1>and in the wins you pretty much did that. Is

0:07:37.800 --> 0:07:40.360
<v Speaker 1>it just getting behind or have you gotten away from

0:07:40.360 --> 0:07:43.920
<v Speaker 1>the philosophy a little bit? Um? I think some of it.

0:07:44.480 --> 0:07:46.800
<v Speaker 1>Some of it's the flow of the game and getting behind,

0:07:47.080 --> 0:07:48.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, not all of it. I think we've run

0:07:49.000 --> 0:07:52.280
<v Speaker 1>the ball pretty consistently the whole year. You know, we

0:07:52.360 --> 0:07:54.800
<v Speaker 1>haven't had a game where it seemed like we had

0:07:54.840 --> 0:07:59.080
<v Speaker 1>that thirty five carry game yet. Um, you know, for

0:07:59.200 --> 0:08:02.640
<v Speaker 1>whatever reason. So um, you know, I know all you

0:08:02.680 --> 0:08:04.840
<v Speaker 1>got to do is look at Doug's past to know

0:08:05.560 --> 0:08:07.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, they run. You know, he runs the football.

0:08:07.360 --> 0:08:09.720
<v Speaker 1>His philosophy is to run the football. His mindset, his

0:08:09.760 --> 0:08:12.720
<v Speaker 1>play caller is to call. You know, So some of

0:08:12.800 --> 0:08:14.360
<v Speaker 1>us just been the flow of the game and feeling

0:08:14.400 --> 0:08:17.040
<v Speaker 1>like where we're making plays and where we're not making plays.

0:08:17.080 --> 0:08:20.080
<v Speaker 1>But you know, we definitely I think every team would

0:08:20.080 --> 0:08:21.760
<v Speaker 1>say this, we want to be a team that can

0:08:21.800 --> 0:08:24.520
<v Speaker 1>run the ball effectively. I don't know what the numbers

0:08:24.520 --> 0:08:26.720
<v Speaker 1>you want to put on it are, but you know

0:08:26.760 --> 0:08:28.920
<v Speaker 1>there's a number that floats around in the NFL that

0:08:28.960 --> 0:08:31.200
<v Speaker 1>if you can get one hundred and twenty five yards rushing,

0:08:31.640 --> 0:08:33.400
<v Speaker 1>you know, usually good things are going to happen in

0:08:33.440 --> 0:08:36.720
<v Speaker 1>a game. Um, we don't live and die by that number,

0:08:36.760 --> 0:08:40.400
<v Speaker 1>but it's a general barometer of where you're at the

0:08:40.480 --> 0:08:44.040
<v Speaker 1>offensive line at all affected the ability to run the ballast,

0:08:45.120 --> 0:08:48.319
<v Speaker 1>you know. I mean obviously losing Lane. Losing Lane was

0:08:48.320 --> 0:08:50.400
<v Speaker 1>a big loss, but I think big vs stepped in there,

0:08:50.480 --> 0:08:52.480
<v Speaker 1>and you know, and then losing Allen for a game

0:08:52.559 --> 0:08:54.800
<v Speaker 1>or two. I really think the guys that played well.

0:08:54.840 --> 0:08:57.560
<v Speaker 1>I think in the off season, you know, I know

0:08:57.640 --> 0:08:59.840
<v Speaker 1>how he had said, Hey, one of our priorities was

0:08:59.840 --> 0:09:03.160
<v Speaker 1>to improve at that position, at the offensive line position.

0:09:03.480 --> 0:09:05.520
<v Speaker 1>Let's get some depth there. Let's get some guys that

0:09:05.559 --> 0:09:08.199
<v Speaker 1>we can develop into long term starters. And I think

0:09:08.240 --> 0:09:10.679
<v Speaker 1>that's paying dividends. I think that that was the right

0:09:10.720 --> 0:09:12.719
<v Speaker 1>move and I think it's showing itself in the way

0:09:12.720 --> 0:09:17.319
<v Speaker 1>it's playing. Out has played well after struggling with injuries

0:09:17.440 --> 0:09:20.360
<v Speaker 1>last year. A doesn't surprise you he's playing so well

0:09:20.360 --> 0:09:23.319
<v Speaker 1>at his age. And B how much emphasis are you

0:09:23.360 --> 0:09:27.000
<v Speaker 1>guys putting on him during the week. I mean for

0:09:27.120 --> 0:09:29.959
<v Speaker 1>Jeff to kind of keep madis some drills that he's

0:09:30.080 --> 0:09:32.480
<v Speaker 1>aren't necessary and things like that. Yeah, I mean, he

0:09:32.559 --> 0:09:35.400
<v Speaker 1>and Stout and coach peterson't have have a good understanding

0:09:35.440 --> 0:09:37.559
<v Speaker 1>of you know, Jason is not looking. You know it's

0:09:37.559 --> 0:09:39.400
<v Speaker 1>not but he doesn't want to work. I love the

0:09:39.440 --> 0:09:42.080
<v Speaker 1>way he works every week. When we at the end

0:09:42.120 --> 0:09:44.160
<v Speaker 1>of the week, when you go back through the practice film,

0:09:44.200 --> 0:09:47.080
<v Speaker 1>I get amazed. And I've shown this to our show

0:09:47.120 --> 0:09:49.800
<v Speaker 1>that's to the offense once or twice. You look at

0:09:49.800 --> 0:09:52.400
<v Speaker 1>how hard he practices on the reps that he's taking

0:09:53.720 --> 0:09:56.640
<v Speaker 1>from a coach's standpoint, you look at the athleticism that

0:09:56.720 --> 0:09:59.320
<v Speaker 1>he still has in his body. I mean, it's really

0:10:00.000 --> 0:10:02.320
<v Speaker 1>astounding to me. I mean, he's got a lot of

0:10:02.360 --> 0:10:05.360
<v Speaker 1>athleticism left in that body. Um. I don't know how

0:10:05.360 --> 0:10:07.840
<v Speaker 1>many players he has left, but I really don't see

0:10:07.880 --> 0:10:10.320
<v Speaker 1>any signs. And I wasn't here when he was in

0:10:10.360 --> 0:10:13.920
<v Speaker 1>his prime prime, but he might be the best offensive

0:10:13.920 --> 0:10:18.040
<v Speaker 1>lineman I've ever coached. I mean, guy's awesome. Where you

0:10:20.800 --> 0:10:23.760
<v Speaker 1>seeing all of this with the size down poundations roles,

0:10:23.880 --> 0:10:28.920
<v Speaker 1>Is there anyone comparable? Yeah? No, He's a unique player.

0:10:29.000 --> 0:10:32.040
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you know, Danny Woodhead in San Diego is

0:10:32.280 --> 0:10:36.080
<v Speaker 1>a good player, but Sprawls is a different kind of

0:10:36.080 --> 0:10:37.760
<v Speaker 1>player than even like a Woodhead or some of the

0:10:37.800 --> 0:10:41.320
<v Speaker 1>other smaller backs because he's so strong. He's just physically

0:10:41.360 --> 0:10:44.880
<v Speaker 1>a strong man. And I remember when I was in

0:10:44.960 --> 0:10:47.120
<v Speaker 1>San Diego for a couple of years there, he was

0:10:47.280 --> 0:10:50.200
<v Speaker 1>legendary there. You know, in the weight room he's the

0:10:50.240 --> 0:10:53.559
<v Speaker 1>strongest guy pound for pound, how hard he works and

0:10:53.679 --> 0:10:55.240
<v Speaker 1>so and so forth. So I just think he is

0:10:55.280 --> 0:11:02.200
<v Speaker 1>a unique player being up the seed or Playbol. And

0:11:02.320 --> 0:11:07.000
<v Speaker 1>with that, do you find yourself wanted to say more?

0:11:08.400 --> 0:11:12.920
<v Speaker 1>Because obviously, yeah, Bryce is a real smart guy. I

0:11:12.960 --> 0:11:15.280
<v Speaker 1>don't think he's all the way there yet with the playbook.

0:11:15.320 --> 0:11:19.200
<v Speaker 1>I think he's studying hard and um and but there's

0:11:19.240 --> 0:11:22.200
<v Speaker 1>a lot that goes into a lot of little nuances. Um,

0:11:22.240 --> 0:11:25.200
<v Speaker 1>I think he's getting there very quickly, and there's I

0:11:25.240 --> 0:11:27.480
<v Speaker 1>think there's something about the mindset of knowing that you're

0:11:27.520 --> 0:11:29.440
<v Speaker 1>going to be active and knowing that you're in there

0:11:29.480 --> 0:11:34.040
<v Speaker 1>that it even accelerates. That's just a different mindset. So UM,

0:11:34.160 --> 0:11:36.520
<v Speaker 1>I would anticipate in the next week or two it'll

0:11:36.559 --> 0:11:39.040
<v Speaker 1>be like he's been here forever. But right now, I

0:11:39.040 --> 0:11:40.680
<v Speaker 1>think there's still a little bit of a ramp up

0:11:40.720 --> 0:11:44.520
<v Speaker 1>as far as learning the offense and all the nuances

0:11:44.400 --> 0:11:47.760
<v Speaker 1>as a fullback and playing. And I used to bow

0:11:47.800 --> 0:11:50.160
<v Speaker 1>Allen earlier in the years, not just because Bo was,

0:11:50.360 --> 0:11:52.720
<v Speaker 1>you know, more involved in the deepense at that point,

0:11:52.720 --> 0:11:55.000
<v Speaker 1>and also how he Feac did Did he get the

0:11:55.120 --> 0:11:56.679
<v Speaker 1>right guy on that play which he supposed to take

0:11:56.679 --> 0:11:59.480
<v Speaker 1>it out? Well, Isaac did a real nice job. Actually

0:11:59.520 --> 0:12:02.880
<v Speaker 1>someone someone else kind of we had leakage and Isaac

0:12:02.920 --> 0:12:04.760
<v Speaker 1>had to clean something up on that play and did

0:12:04.760 --> 0:12:07.640
<v Speaker 1>a nice job. You could tell in practice he's got

0:12:07.679 --> 0:12:10.360
<v Speaker 1>the athleticism, he's got it to do it. And you're

0:12:10.440 --> 0:12:12.640
<v Speaker 1>right and that you know, Bo was in there earlier.

0:12:12.640 --> 0:12:14.640
<v Speaker 1>But then when Bo kind of got called more into action,

0:12:15.000 --> 0:12:16.679
<v Speaker 1>you know, for the defense and playing a little bit

0:12:16.720 --> 0:12:19.040
<v Speaker 1>more there. You know, it's just easier when you can

0:12:19.120 --> 0:12:22.040
<v Speaker 1>use your own guys, And so circumstances kind of dictated

0:12:22.120 --> 0:12:25.120
<v Speaker 1>us experimenting with Isaac back there. He did a nice job,

0:12:25.200 --> 0:12:28.040
<v Speaker 1>so I would anticipate that, you know, he'd be an

0:12:28.040 --> 0:12:32.679
<v Speaker 1>option going forward. When you bring along a rookie quarterback,

0:12:33.040 --> 0:12:35.920
<v Speaker 1>what markers of growth are you looking for throughout the season,

0:12:36.000 --> 0:12:37.719
<v Speaker 1>like things that you want him to be able to

0:12:37.760 --> 0:12:40.160
<v Speaker 1>deserve do that. Maybe it wasn't the perfect dat from

0:12:40.200 --> 0:12:43.520
<v Speaker 1>the beginning of you know, I think just show an

0:12:43.600 --> 0:12:48.160
<v Speaker 1>unwavering toughness, you know, and mentality that even though this

0:12:48.240 --> 0:12:49.800
<v Speaker 1>is a game with a lot of huge ups and

0:12:49.840 --> 0:12:52.319
<v Speaker 1>downs him this is a very emotional game played by

0:12:52.320 --> 0:12:55.480
<v Speaker 1>passionate players. But you've got to have a steadiness. You

0:12:55.559 --> 0:12:57.680
<v Speaker 1>got to see him go through those ups and downs

0:12:57.679 --> 0:13:00.760
<v Speaker 1>and not waiver and not blink. And I think, you know,

0:13:00.840 --> 0:13:02.920
<v Speaker 1>that's just kind of the general thing. And I think

0:13:03.400 --> 0:13:06.520
<v Speaker 1>more specifically, it's get a little bit sharper. And I'm

0:13:06.760 --> 0:13:09.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm speaking for all of us now as an offense,

0:13:09.600 --> 0:13:14.439
<v Speaker 1>but certainly, you know, just growing in situational football, and

0:13:14.760 --> 0:13:17.120
<v Speaker 1>and that in no way is meant to say anything

0:13:17.160 --> 0:13:19.960
<v Speaker 1>other than we as an offense need to make improvements,

0:13:20.040 --> 0:13:22.200
<v Speaker 1>and he's our quarterbacks, so he needs to lead away.

0:13:22.360 --> 0:13:23.920
<v Speaker 1>He needs to lead away, and we need to give

0:13:24.000 --> 0:13:26.599
<v Speaker 1>him put him in position to lead away and H

0:13:27.040 --> 0:13:29.240
<v Speaker 1>and so that's really will be an emphasis and a

0:13:29.320 --> 0:13:31.679
<v Speaker 1>focus going forward. We've kind of got all that early

0:13:31.720 --> 0:13:34.840
<v Speaker 1>stuff out. Now let's go. Let's let's really concentrate and

0:13:34.920 --> 0:13:44.640
<v Speaker 1>be great in this area.
