Rob Calbarre's the 17 00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:56,320 Speaker 1: offensive coordinator of the national team. What was that week 18 00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:00,240 Speaker 1: like for you? What did it mean and all? So, 19 00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:02,480 Speaker 1: how cool of an opportunity was it. It was a 20 00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:05,479 Speaker 1: huge opportunity for not only myself but our staff as 21 00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:08,039 Speaker 1: far as in the evaluation with each one of those prospects. 22 00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:10,360 Speaker 1: You know, we took Jeremy Rucket from the senior browme. 23 00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:12,320 Speaker 1: We had him there and was able to coach him 24 00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:13,880 Speaker 1: and watch him going the field and take what we 25 00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:17,319 Speaker 1: taught in the classroom and go execute. But for myself, 26 00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:19,440 Speaker 1: just being able to coordinate that coordinate that game, I 27 00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:21,840 Speaker 1: was appreciative Coachala and with Florida let me do that. 28 00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:24,840 Speaker 1: And on game day it was amazing. You know, we 29 00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:26,959 Speaker 1: call plays and just watch it unfold and try to 30 00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:29,440 Speaker 1: execute the scheme. So I was happy with how it 31 00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:31,840 Speaker 1: turned out, and UM, great learning experience for myself. Well, 32 00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:35,479 Speaker 1: you guys got the w ron Middleton head coach during 33 00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:37,600 Speaker 1: that game. How did you grade yourself in terms of 34 00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:41,039 Speaker 1: self scout afterwards? Um? Not too much self scout. I 35 00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:45,800 Speaker 1: had about hundred races per day, so that's not good. 36 00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:48,200 Speaker 1: But other than that, it was we ever got there 37 00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:50,000 Speaker 1: and execute, and that's the most important thing. You have 38 00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:53,280 Speaker 1: three days to practice to install scheme, to to get 39 00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:55,320 Speaker 1: a fairy evaluation on these guys can to handle it, 40 00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:57,680 Speaker 1: but also can we execute and not and not have 41 00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:00,160 Speaker 1: negative plays and things that pop up like that. So 42 00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:02,200 Speaker 1: I was happy with with what we did on the 43 00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:04,919 Speaker 1: field and the players that were awesome, and the coaching 44 00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:07,320 Speaker 1: staff like we handled it well. How much did you 45 00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:09,680 Speaker 1: throw out those guys in three days before they go 46 00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:13,600 Speaker 1: out there, because obviously you want them to learn, but 47 00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:16,080 Speaker 1: at the same time, you don't want to throw too 48 00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,400 Speaker 1: much at them, right, and you threw We threw a 49 00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:19,880 Speaker 1: lot of them because you got to think of it, 50 00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:23,080 Speaker 1: with how college football is nowadays and the lack of 51 00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,760 Speaker 1: huddling and burbage that these guys signal a lot of things, 52 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:29,000 Speaker 1: so that's all new to them. And then to give 53 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,440 Speaker 1: them our offense and certain amount of plays and to 54 00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:33,760 Speaker 1: be able to go execute it, it's it's overwhelming for 55 00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:36,359 Speaker 1: them at first. And we had about a two hour 56 00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:38,200 Speaker 1: meeting the night before practice and then went right to 57 00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:40,520 Speaker 1: the practice field, so you had to crunch it all in. 58 00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:42,200 Speaker 1: They had to put some time and study on our own, 59 00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:45,040 Speaker 1: which they did, and it uh just snowballed into that 60 00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:46,520 Speaker 1: and it was it was a good week. I know. 61 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,119 Speaker 1: You obviously going to become fans a lot of these 62 00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:53,200 Speaker 1: guys because you invest in them and then you get 63 00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:55,520 Speaker 1: to know their personalities a little bit. You guys end 64 00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:59,040 Speaker 1: up taking some of these players who participated in the 65 00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:02,160 Speaker 1: Senior Bowl down and Bill Alabama. But for you specifically, 66 00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:05,120 Speaker 1: what kind of relationships to just start with Kenny Pickett 67 00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:09,320 Speaker 1: from Pittsburgh, Desmond Ritter from Cincinnati, and then Carson Strong 68 00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:13,639 Speaker 1: from Nevada, all guys who are now on NFL teams. Yeah, 69 00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:15,440 Speaker 1: you know, I got the communicate with them a little 70 00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:17,320 Speaker 1: bit before, a week before because they were eager, they 71 00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:19,840 Speaker 1: wanted the playbook, and um just started that process of 72 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:22,320 Speaker 1: building a relationship and just getting to meet those guys 73 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:24,639 Speaker 1: in person and spend that time with them. And then 74 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:26,440 Speaker 1: being quarterbacks, they spent a lot more time in the 75 00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:29,240 Speaker 1: meeting rooms when they could the extra and got there 76 00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 1: early in the mornings and to go over things. But 77 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,120 Speaker 1: it was a good group and they're they're dedicated, they're smart. 78 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:35,520 Speaker 1: That's the reason why they were there and the reason 79 00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:37,640 Speaker 1: why they have moved on in the NFL and have 80 00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:40,280 Speaker 1: spot and have homes now.

But also just 177 00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:04,960 Speaker 1: you know, have a friend that that cared so much 178 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:08,120 Speaker 1: about each each individually came into contact with. There's our 179 00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:11,559 Speaker 1: text messages and you know, throughout summer breaks, mandatory sending 180 00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:13,440 Speaker 1: pictures to your family.

So those are things 183 00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:21,760 Speaker 1: that you just you just you don't come into contact 184 00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:24,320 Speaker 1: with much very often, and I was very lucky to 185 00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:28,480 Speaker 1: just to experience out the unique individual. Everybody who came 186 00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:31,920 Speaker 1: in contact with Greg Nap would say that he was 187 00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:34,600 Speaker 1: your friend, and he would get to know your name, 188 00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:37,000 Speaker 1: walk around the building, get to know your name, and 189 00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:40,760 Speaker 1: come back to it and then you know your family members. UM. 190 00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:45,120 Speaker 1: From a football perspective, how do you make the transition 191 00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:47,800 Speaker 1: in terms of last year of what you guys are 192 00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:52,560 Speaker 1: doing with the quarterbacks? Because it's you and your first year. UM, 193 00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:56,200 Speaker 1: Greg Nap was going to be instrumental throughout the season 194 00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:58,359 Speaker 1: for you guys, but you have to make the transition. 195 00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:03,120 Speaker 1: And Robert Sale said that you guys wouldn't be doing 196 00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:06,319 Speaker 1: never any justice if he took that step back, because 197 00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:09,200 Speaker 1: he wants you guys to live and embrace every moment. 198 00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:13,080 Speaker 1: You hire Matt Kavanaugh, and then at a certain point 199 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:15,840 Speaker 1: during the season, after Zack Wilson's hurt with the knee injury, 200 00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:19,040 Speaker 1: you bring in John Back. Yeah, and I look at 201 00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:21,240 Speaker 1: it as if we're doing anything possible to help Zach 202 00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:25,360 Speaker 1: be successful, to help this organization win games. So you know, 203 00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:28,680 Speaker 1: as football coaches, that's our job is to myself and 204 00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:30,800 Speaker 1: everyone in that rooms have prepared the quarterback to give 205 00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:33,240 Speaker 1: them the tools necessary to win on Sunday and then 206 00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:35,800 Speaker 1: ultimately helped his team win and start wearing some football 207 00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:39,199 Speaker 1: games here. So you know, with coach cav another veteran coach, 208 00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:41,599 Speaker 1: I had so much information and another great guy that 209 00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:43,760 Speaker 1: I was able to just soak things up from him, 210 00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:46,400 Speaker 1: the way he taught, the way he viewed the position, 211 00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:48,840 Speaker 1: just certain things that you know you can't get from 212 00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:51,400 Speaker 1: anywhere else, but just going through experience wise with somebody. 213 00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:54,079 Speaker 1: And then John Beck, who's a who's a guy that's 214 00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:56,480 Speaker 1: fundamentally going to look at each quarterback and know what's 215 00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:59,080 Speaker 1: wrong with their throwing motion and can fix things by 216 00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:01,760 Speaker 1: just seeing it on and spending time with him and 217 00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:05,320 Speaker 1: learning about the biomechanics and looking at a quarterback's feed 218 00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:08,400 Speaker 1: or how to quickly fix something but without wholesale changing something. 219 00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:10,959 Speaker 1: I mean I took, I took all those things. That is, 220 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:13,599 Speaker 1: those are great opportunities for myself to grow as a 221 00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:16,480 Speaker 1: coach and and to grow within the quarterback position.

From your perspective, though, 236 00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:54,120 Speaker 1: what changed for Zach pre injury then coming back post injury, 237 00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:56,480 Speaker 1: Because it's easy for us to say, we write it 238 00:10:56,480 --> 00:11:00,800 Speaker 1: down that hey listen, turnover streak. He started protecting the 239 00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:03,400 Speaker 1: football five straight games. He ends the year. He's just 240 00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:08,080 Speaker 1: making better decisions. But you know the game inside and out. 241 00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:10,960 Speaker 1: What was different about him? It's, um, it's a it's 242 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:14,000 Speaker 1: a rookie quarterback in the NFL, and that's that's the 243 00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:16,880 Speaker 1: hardest position to play at this level. And and he was. 244 00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:19,400 Speaker 1: He was thrown in the fire game one as a starter, 245 00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:22,920 Speaker 1: playing playing that position up until he got hurt, and 246 00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:25,600 Speaker 1: and within it, within a game a season, those weeks 247 00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:27,960 Speaker 1: they just go. It doesn't stop unless you have a 248 00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:30,280 Speaker 1: bye week or you play a Thursday night game. You 249 00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:32,440 Speaker 1: have to two days off, so you just you just 250 00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:34,840 Speaker 1: keep going. And then you know, when he did get hurt, 251 00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:37,280 Speaker 1: he was able to just sit back and reflect and 252 00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:40,520 Speaker 1: go back through and watch those those games again and 253 00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:42,560 Speaker 1: really think about what he was seeing and what he 254 00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:44,760 Speaker 1: felt and and what it meant to him in those 255 00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:48,000 Speaker 1: certain situations in those moments. Also while getting to watch, 256 00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:50,960 Speaker 1: you know, Mike White Joe Flacco, Josh Johnson go out 257 00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:53,960 Speaker 1: there and execute our our system, our scheme and have 258 00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:55,840 Speaker 1: some success doing it. And the reason why they were 259 00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:58,640 Speaker 1: just just playing a position, playing each down not forced. 260 00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:00,240 Speaker 1: You don't you don't have to make every single player. 261 00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:02,040 Speaker 1: You just let the game come to you. So when 262 00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:04,240 Speaker 1: he came back, he just had this this whole vision 263 00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:07,480 Speaker 1: of the position on what he went through. He felt 264 00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:08,760 Speaker 1: the speed of the game, he felt what it was 265 00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:11,640 Speaker 1: like to play four quarters sixty minutes and the wearing 266 00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:13,880 Speaker 1: hair of an NFL game. But he also had the 267 00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:16,760 Speaker 1: tools to be successful and just play the position. So 268 00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:19,679 Speaker 1: it was kind of like a he called it his 269 00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:22,000 Speaker 1: sophomore year, you know, it came back from he played 270 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,800 Speaker 1: his freshman year and ended up getting hurt, which was unfortunate, 271 00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:27,160 Speaker 1: but and Zach me and the guy he is, he 272 00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:29,760 Speaker 1: took that as I'm gonna get better from this. How 273 00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:32,440 Speaker 1: I go back and watch everything that I did and 274 00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:34,040 Speaker 1: I learned from the guys that are playing right now 275 00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:37,040 Speaker 1: and it just never stops, which was it was really 276 00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:39,280 Speaker 1: cool to see from him to come back and just 277 00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:41,120 Speaker 1: change the way he played the game. What did you 278 00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:44,760 Speaker 1: tell him in January? After that game in Buffalo Because 279 00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:47,600 Speaker 1: Michael Fleur says it, I know you're gonna echo those 280 00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:51,440 Speaker 1: sentiments that he's a guy who doesn't get away. That's 281 00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:54,480 Speaker 1: not natural from him. It's exactly what we told him 282 00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:56,600 Speaker 1: to get away. And it takes some time off and 283 00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:58,559 Speaker 1: just do almost what you did when you when you 284 00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:02,360 Speaker 1: ended up getting hurt. But first just go collect your 285 00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:05,440 Speaker 1: thoughts and just get get yourself back to just back 286 00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:07,840 Speaker 1: to reality. And then then he started going through the 287 00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:09,760 Speaker 1: film and started working on some things that you need 288 00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:12,080 Speaker 1: to work on with his footwork, some certain throws that 289 00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:13,520 Speaker 1: he missed, and he was able to spend some time 290 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:15,920 Speaker 1: out wherever he was at and he went all around 291 00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:18,000 Speaker 1: and get what our receivers, which was awesome. That was 292 00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:20,200 Speaker 1: a huge stuff for him from a leadership standpoint and 293 00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:23,280 Speaker 1: just just building that chemistry with all those guys. So 294 00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:26,600 Speaker 1: he is a football junkie, but you know he uh, 295 00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:28,319 Speaker 1: he came back with a clear head and just ready 296 00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:32,720 Speaker 1: to go. How does he challenge you inside the media room? Uma, 297 00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:35,240 Speaker 1: he always wants his that he wants he wants to 298 00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:37,200 Speaker 1: know a lot and we've we've learned over the last 299 00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:41,480 Speaker 1: year's you know, there's there's useful information and there's there's information, 300 00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:44,280 Speaker 1: you know that doesn't really matter. Just go play each play, 301 00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:46,640 Speaker 1: play the position, and and do what we're acting to 302 00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:49,560 Speaker 1: within the time of the play, within our scheme, and 303 00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:51,480 Speaker 1: good things will happen. And I think he saw that 304 00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:54,719 Speaker 1: with with Mike White, and um, since not a game, 305 00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:56,720 Speaker 1: you know you're not. You're just playing a game. And 306 00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:59,560 Speaker 1: if if it's unfortunate the number one receiver is not open, 307 00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:02,480 Speaker 1: that's okay, get your completion and things start to happen 308 00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:05,559 Speaker 1: because of that in the fourth quarter. And um so 309 00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:08,360 Speaker 1: we kind of just our whole goal, this whole lostoy 310 00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:13,360 Speaker 1: simplifier thoughts and simplifier life. Yes, it's interesting what you 311 00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:15,439 Speaker 1: just talked about. It you in an example there the 312 00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:21,200 Speaker 1: Cincinnati game. But can you want too much information? Yes? 313 00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:24,000 Speaker 1: And that's that's something I learned as a coach year one. 314 00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:26,200 Speaker 1: You know you don't that's our job is to have 315 00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:28,440 Speaker 1: all that information and get the right play and play 316 00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:32,120 Speaker 1: design and when and how and when why. But we 317 00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:34,080 Speaker 1: don't need to give you all of that. It's just, hey, 318 00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:36,280 Speaker 1: this is probably the best case scenario, and this is 319 00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:38,600 Speaker 1: the worst case scenario. You need to have a plan 320 00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:40,520 Speaker 1: for it. But other than that, you're just playing football. 321 00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:44,320 Speaker 1: How different is this spring? He's very different, and it's 322 00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:47,280 Speaker 1: just it's another year. It's year two in a system, 323 00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:49,280 Speaker 1: especially for a rookie, and he's done. He did a 324 00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:51,960 Speaker 1: great job because he was ready to play. From a 325 00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:54,840 Speaker 1: mentality standpoint, you know how hard it is when, especially 326 00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:58,160 Speaker 1: at quarterback, coming in and learning the verbiage, this system, 327 00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:00,360 Speaker 1: being able to call plays and then oh, that's the 328 00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:03,120 Speaker 1: NFL pass rush, and then four quarters of that the 329 00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:05,040 Speaker 1: mental wear and tear. He's just he's a different He's 330 00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:07,600 Speaker 1: a different guy. He's very confident in what we're asking 331 00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:09,240 Speaker 1: to do. He's very confident in our scheme because he 332 00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:12,000 Speaker 1: knows it, and that's a huge deal. As for a 333 00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:15,480 Speaker 1: quarterback for sure. What do you like most about working 334 00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:19,560 Speaker 1: with Michael fleur Um. There's there's a lot of things, 335 00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:22,200 Speaker 1: like I just appreciate his his his knowledge of a game, 336 00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:25,200 Speaker 1: but I really appreciate how he communicates and um just 337 00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:27,560 Speaker 1: sitting in those meetings, whether it's with the unit or 338 00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:30,600 Speaker 1: the quarterbacks and just hearing how he verbalizes his thoughts 339 00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:33,880 Speaker 1: and how clear concise messages are through cross the boards 340 00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:36,640 Speaker 1: and whoever. So each each meeting you're just hearing things 341 00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:38,520 Speaker 1: you're like, okay, and it's everyone's on their toes, but 342 00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:41,440 Speaker 1: they're locked in and it's it's meaningful messages. And that's 343 00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:43,720 Speaker 1: that's the one thing I appreciate from just being in 344 00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:47,000 Speaker 1: those meetings. He was a passing game coordinate or San 345 00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:50,080 Speaker 1: Francisco of course before coming over here with Sala from 346 00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:54,760 Speaker 1: San Francisco. Uh, what's the dynamics like with you two? Um, 347 00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:57,640 Speaker 1: we were closer together. We're in obviously in the quarterback meetings, 348 00:15:57,720 --> 00:15:59,760 Speaker 1: so you know there's times that I have things that 349 00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:01,720 Speaker 1: to talk about with these guys, and then he has 350 00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:04,440 Speaker 1: his going through the scheme, going through our reads and 351 00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:06,840 Speaker 1: we kind of it's a really good mess and gel 352 00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:10,200 Speaker 1: with the with the meeting room. It's just we were 353 00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:12,040 Speaker 1: able to keep him on our toes because they're switching 354 00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:15,520 Speaker 1: and and who's presenting what and what tapeer we're looking 355 00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:17,920 Speaker 1: at and then um, just from a game planning at 356 00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:19,120 Speaker 1: same point this past year, and you know it is 357 00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:21,040 Speaker 1: responsible for certain areas and just being able to go 358 00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:24,040 Speaker 1: in his office with confidence on why I like certain 359 00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:26,920 Speaker 1: things because he's such a great communicator. It's not it's 360 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:28,920 Speaker 1: not I'm nervous to bring up a play and he 361 00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:30,920 Speaker 1: doesn't like it. He has a way of just making 362 00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:34,560 Speaker 1: you feel like this is you're accepted, this is your job, 363 00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:36,480 Speaker 1: this is what we're trying to do. We're trying to 364 00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:39,440 Speaker 1: win games. And if it's not right, we'll talk about it. 365 00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:41,160 Speaker 1: That's the best thing about it. That's the best way 366 00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:42,840 Speaker 1: I can put it, Like we could just talk about it. 367 00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:45,600 Speaker 1: You know, how cool is it when you guys are 368 00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:48,800 Speaker 1: in a game and you feel your quarterback in a 369 00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:51,680 Speaker 1: flow and the fleur at the same time and a flow. 370 00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:54,880 Speaker 1: Because one thing that I think that he continued to 371 00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:58,280 Speaker 1: mention later on in the year was, yeah, you guys 372 00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:02,120 Speaker 1: are seeing more also offensively and you're saying I'm being 373 00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:04,879 Speaker 1: more creative, But we just needed more places any more plays, 374 00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:07,240 Speaker 1: and you need to be on schedule. That's that's that's 375 00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:09,760 Speaker 1: what Zach had learned too. It's now we do. We 376 00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:11,960 Speaker 1: do have some schemes and some place that we always 377 00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:13,840 Speaker 1: want to get to, but you can't get to it 378 00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:16,680 Speaker 1: if you're in not in second and long, or you're 379 00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:19,560 Speaker 1: you're already in passing row down to score. So that's 380 00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:21,439 Speaker 1: that's our offense. We need to stay on schedule. We 381 00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:23,120 Speaker 1: need be able run the football, and get to our 382 00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:27,960 Speaker 1: explosive opportunities, whether it's play pass or gadget plays and um, 383 00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:31,240 Speaker 1: there's there's nothing like just you know, on game day 384 00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:32,919 Speaker 1: when you see the quarterback in his flow and then 385 00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:35,600 Speaker 1: you know, and that's what you always try to visualize. 386 00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:37,639 Speaker 1: You know, when you're a position coaches, what is what 387 00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:39,159 Speaker 1: is the play call? Are going to call next? And 388 00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:41,320 Speaker 1: you guys, if we're in sync and we know what's 389 00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:43,560 Speaker 1: coming out of his mouth as far as the play 390 00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:45,760 Speaker 1: and the timing and when and when we're attacking, it's 391 00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:48,200 Speaker 1: it's it's really cool to watch on fold on Sundays. 392 00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:51,040 Speaker 1: So Robert Sale is very happy with you. He said, 393 00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:56,720 Speaker 1: this guy is got coordinator potential. He said that yesterday 394 00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:01,959 Speaker 1: your your phone blow up after that a little bit. 395 00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:04,600 Speaker 1: My my dad had text me, but because there's a 396 00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:08,240 Speaker 1: Newsday article and my brother and my cousins, but I 397 00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:10,280 Speaker 1: try not to pay too much attention to that stuff. 398 00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:12,679 Speaker 1: And it's it's awesome to hear coach Hollis say that 399 00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:15,199 Speaker 1: and and he has that belief, but I have to 400 00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:17,959 Speaker 1: go prove it and throughout my coaching career. And you know, 401 00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:20,280 Speaker 1: you have an idea of what you want to be. 402 00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:23,440 Speaker 1: But everything that's happened U until this point is because 403 00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:25,320 Speaker 1: I did a really good job with my job right now, 404 00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:27,840 Speaker 1: and the second that i'd ever tried to look forward 405 00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:31,040 Speaker 1: to being something else that I'm not that's not my title, 406 00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:33,199 Speaker 1: then I'm slacking on what I should be doing. So 407 00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:35,360 Speaker 1: I try to block out the noise in that aspect. 408 00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:37,840 Speaker 1: I love that and people think of me in that light. 409 00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:39,800 Speaker 1: But I'm just gonna keep my head down and keep working. 410 00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:42,560 Speaker 1: So he said he didn't want to blow up your spot, 411 00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:47,639 Speaker 1: but you had opportunities elsewhere. I did a little Google 412 00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:50,040 Speaker 1: search for the Google today. It seemed like a lot 413 00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:53,240 Speaker 1: of people were linking your name to the University of Kentucky. 414 00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:59,720 Speaker 1: You don't got to talk about the specific teams, colleges, whatnot, 415 00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:02,960 Speaker 1: but I do want to ask you, why is this 416 00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:05,280 Speaker 1: the right spot for you right now? It's it's because 417 00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:07,679 Speaker 1: I believe in this organization. I believe in Coach Shalla 418 00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:10,199 Speaker 1: as a head coach and his message and what he's 419 00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:13,040 Speaker 1: trying to accomplish here. And I believe in Michael Floor, 420 00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:16,240 Speaker 1: and I believe in Zach and his team. I've always 421 00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:18,280 Speaker 1: wanted to be able to, you know, leave some some 422 00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:21,360 Speaker 1: place better than than when I showed up and after 423 00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:23,720 Speaker 1: last year. I know it was year one and Zach 424 00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:26,240 Speaker 1: was a rookie myself, I was a young first year 425 00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:29,840 Speaker 1: physician coach in the NFL, and and I'm not ready 426 00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:32,520 Speaker 1: to leave without you know, stamping that We've We've done 427 00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:35,520 Speaker 1: some special things here. And I'm a Jets fan. I'm 428 00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:38,120 Speaker 1: from Long Island's is home for me, so just being 429 00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:41,440 Speaker 1: close to family and all those factors, I just I 430 00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:43,200 Speaker 1: want to I want to win some football games here. 431 00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:48,600 Speaker 1: Do you and Zach talk about jumps some quarterbacks have 432 00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:52,000 Speaker 1: made in between the rookie season to that second season, Um, 433 00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:54,560 Speaker 1: not so much. You know, this this whole offseason and 434 00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:56,639 Speaker 1: since he's got here has just been solely focused on 435 00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:58,639 Speaker 1: what we're trying to get better at from what we 436 00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:01,439 Speaker 1: showed on tape last year and then how he can 437 00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:06,000 Speaker 1: improve from quarterback standpoint, from decision making, from timing, from accuracy. 438 00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:09,360 Speaker 1: So it's solely been based on just getting himself better. 439 00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:12,440 Speaker 1: There's times that we do have, you know, examples, and 440 00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:15,000 Speaker 1: you know, we have some time in the back end 441 00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:17,320 Speaker 1: of a meeting, we'll watch them quarterback cool quarterback clips 442 00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:20,480 Speaker 1: on just things around the league that maybe maybe didn't 443 00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:22,760 Speaker 1: show up in his rookie year. But hey, look this 444 00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:25,399 Speaker 1: is what happened to a certain player, and this is 445 00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:28,000 Speaker 1: how he handled it. Now, every play is a different player. 446 00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:29,639 Speaker 1: You can't just bank that and say I'm gonna do 447 00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:32,240 Speaker 1: that too more. This whole off season is just really 448 00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:34,640 Speaker 1: just getting him mentally focused on just being being better 449 00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:37,240 Speaker 1: at the position and being ready role. What do elite 450 00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:41,040 Speaker 1: quarterbacks have in common? Um, they got that poise to him. 451 00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:44,359 Speaker 1: They just have their They they're just great decision makers 452 00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:47,440 Speaker 1: no matter what the situation is, Um, two minutes or 453 00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:49,879 Speaker 1: the first quarter of the game, they're they're poison. You 454 00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:51,800 Speaker 1: can tell that by their feet. And they just kind 455 00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:53,679 Speaker 1: of play with timing and they play within the system 456 00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:56,000 Speaker 1: and they're not forcing throws. They let the game come 457 00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:58,080 Speaker 1: to them. And and not a lot of people know that. 458 00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:01,520 Speaker 1: They see highlights on yeah on Sports enter ESPN of 459 00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:03,880 Speaker 1: these these wild throws whenever they are in the game, 460 00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:07,320 Speaker 1: but they don't see all thirty other throws where they're 461 00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:09,960 Speaker 1: just underneath because the defense took it away. It's not 462 00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:11,720 Speaker 1: every player can be an explosive, but what you do 463 00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:14,440 Speaker 1: with your completions creates what happens later on in the game. 464 00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:16,440 Speaker 1: Win bet is now live in New Jersey and they're 465 00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:18,960 Speaker 1: bringing the excitement of win Las Vegas to online sports betting, 466 00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:21,399 Speaker 1: getting on all your favorite teams, players and sports from 467 00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:24,200 Speaker 1: boostep partlays to live in game odds on every major sport. 468 00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:26,440 Speaker 1: They have what you need to win.

What did you 478 00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:48,280 Speaker 1: take away from that Denver experience? You were there an 479 00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:51,160 Speaker 1: offensive assistant for a couple of years and I believe 480 00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:56,800 Speaker 1: the Broncos went through six quarterbacks including Joe Flacco. Yeah, 481 00:21:57,119 --> 00:21:59,240 Speaker 1: it was. It was my first job in the NFL, 482 00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:02,160 Speaker 1: and um, just to see how this whole thing worked 483 00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:04,560 Speaker 1: and what was really different about it was like you 484 00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:08,000 Speaker 1: see the different schemes from the defensive standpoint unfold because 485 00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:10,280 Speaker 1: that was my job was to break down um the 486 00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:12,560 Speaker 1: games from a defensive standpoint, and that was where I 487 00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:15,560 Speaker 1: learned so much about football just watching. I don't know, 488 00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:17,920 Speaker 1: probably I broke down every game of the opponent that 489 00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:20,959 Speaker 1: we played prior, so to just bank all those all 490 00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:23,400 Speaker 1: those clips that I was watching of coverage and when 491 00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:26,280 Speaker 1: defensive were attacking and why certain things happened. And then 492 00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:28,639 Speaker 1: getting to work with Big Fangio was was huge for 493 00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:31,120 Speaker 1: me because I've never worked for a coach. I viewed 494 00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:33,920 Speaker 1: the game and that from that standpoint, from a statistical standpoint, 495 00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:36,040 Speaker 1: self scout and how on it you have to be 496 00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:39,040 Speaker 1: because certain coaches they'll find things that that you're not 497 00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:41,040 Speaker 1: always aware of when you're when you're just in the 498 00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:43,480 Speaker 1: moment of the season just grinding and going through some 499 00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:46,239 Speaker 1: certain things. He had everything pinpointed down and that's why 500 00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:48,200 Speaker 1: he is a great defensive play caller, and that's why 501 00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:50,600 Speaker 1: most of the time he's calling them right coverage because 502 00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:53,879 Speaker 1: he's putting people on for what they've done. What do 503 00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:56,960 Speaker 1: you like most about Flack on How does he help 504 00:22:57,040 --> 00:23:00,760 Speaker 1: Wilson Joe? Joe is awesome because his wealth of knowledge 505 00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:03,560 Speaker 1: from playing the game for for this long at a 506 00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:05,920 Speaker 1: high level, and he's he's an elite arm talent. You 507 00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:07,480 Speaker 1: can put the ball wherever he wants. And I knew 508 00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:10,640 Speaker 1: that from Denver. But he's, uh, he's in a good spot. 509 00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:12,720 Speaker 1: He's been helping Zack out in the meeting room and 510 00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:15,800 Speaker 1: whether it's on the field quickly, he's just the information 511 00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:18,200 Speaker 1: he's given Zack Zack. Zack knows this and and I'm 512 00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:21,280 Speaker 1: sure he's appreciative, but it's it's it's so beneficial for 513 00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:22,680 Speaker 1: him for at this point in his career to have 514 00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:25,400 Speaker 1: a veteran like that that's won a Super Bowl, that's 515 00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:28,040 Speaker 1: played this many football games helping him out in a 516 00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:30,720 Speaker 1: good spot in his career. How fun is a dynamic there? 517 00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:35,640 Speaker 1: Flag was older than you. Yeah, and obviously Zack two. Yeah, 518 00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:38,240 Speaker 1: you know, so I gotta imagine you guys have some 519 00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:42,600 Speaker 1: interesting conversations sometimes. Yeah, it's awesome, but yeah, we we 520 00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:44,879 Speaker 1: we kind of bus around a little bit in the 521 00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:46,760 Speaker 1: quarterback meeting room at the end of the meeting or 522 00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:48,600 Speaker 1: when we got a little bit of time. And it's 523 00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:52,040 Speaker 1: just funny to see the age differences between Joe, myself, 524 00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:55,120 Speaker 1: Zack and the things that we talked about and sometimes 525 00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:57,400 Speaker 1: you know whether it's Zach or Joe, like they're too 526 00:23:57,440 --> 00:24:00,680 Speaker 1: far removed from that certain situation, Like I don't know 527 00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:03,240 Speaker 1: what you know. It's it's it's it's it's cool. It's 528 00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:05,840 Speaker 1: a good group of guys. We have a lot of fun. Um, 529 00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:08,800 Speaker 1: they all meshed well together. It's really good room. You're 530 00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:11,600 Speaker 1: a Long Island kid. It broke a lot of Boomers 531 00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:15,840 Speaker 1: size his records growing up in Long Island. Can you 532 00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:19,119 Speaker 1: talk about your experience and then how you wound up 533 00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:22,320 Speaker 1: at UCF. Yeah, luckily. Um, you know, I did go 534 00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:24,920 Speaker 1: to Boomers High school and and I know they I 535 00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:27,120 Speaker 1: broke his records because they probably threw the ball five 536 00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:30,320 Speaker 1: times a game. But he was He's a he's a 537 00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:32,320 Speaker 1: Long Island legend. He's from my hometown. That's why I 538 00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:35,080 Speaker 1: grew up a Jets fan. And through the recruiting process 539 00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:36,840 Speaker 1: getting to meet him and him reaching out and trying 540 00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:39,640 Speaker 1: to just help guide me through my career as a player, 541 00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:41,600 Speaker 1: and then that more so as a coach. Now he's 542 00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:44,320 Speaker 1: been awesome and um, what led me to Central Florida 543 00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:48,440 Speaker 1: is Boomer's head coach South Champi at East ilip I 544 00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:51,239 Speaker 1: played first son in South Champion Jr. And then it's 545 00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:54,200 Speaker 1: one of the most historic programs on Long Island. He's 546 00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:57,040 Speaker 1: was best friends champ, the Champion senior was best friends 547 00:24:57,040 --> 00:24:59,119 Speaker 1: with the head coach at UCF, and I don't I 548 00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:00,600 Speaker 1: don't know if I had this ASI and like, I'm 549 00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:02,680 Speaker 1: going to UCF because that's what the championshire telling me 550 00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:04,840 Speaker 1: to do. And luckily they were able to, you know, 551 00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:07,000 Speaker 1: get me out there for a visit, and I was 552 00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:09,280 Speaker 1: lucky enough to get an offer and I saw the 553 00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:14,840 Speaker 1: campus and ultimately I was like, I'm going to You 554 00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:18,480 Speaker 1: were following us some pretty big footsteps, right Pepper. Yeah, 555 00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:22,359 Speaker 1: Dante Copepp played there and I think he was the 556 00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:25,399 Speaker 1: first true freshman player and then I ended up playing. Now, 557 00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:28,399 Speaker 1: I didn't have the success yet and it was a 558 00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:30,320 Speaker 1: rough career, but I've learned a lot. And that's kind 559 00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:33,200 Speaker 1: of where I got the itch that I'm going to 560 00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:36,159 Speaker 1: be a football coach, you know, from being injured and 561 00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:38,560 Speaker 1: having to sit out and then watching Borders come in 562 00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:41,360 Speaker 1: and kind of helping him go through his career when 563 00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:43,879 Speaker 1: I wasn't able to play. I knew right then and there, 564 00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:45,240 Speaker 1: this is what I want to do with the rest 565 00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:49,600 Speaker 1: of my life. So Scott is a quarterback. Me, I 566 00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:52,239 Speaker 1: would make the right decisions, but UM never took too 567 00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:54,119 Speaker 1: many chances. You know, when they were there. I was 568 00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:56,800 Speaker 1: more so you say, like I checked down Charlie. I 569 00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:59,360 Speaker 1: wasn't very accurate, but um I could call a play, 570 00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:01,719 Speaker 1: get us in the right playing You know, I had 571 00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:05,200 Speaker 1: fun playing position. But you were a thick dude back 572 00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:09,440 Speaker 1: then too, most guys. If you look back at the 573 00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:14,560 Speaker 1: college biographies, it doesn't say quarterback slash receiver. Watch behind 574 00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:18,320 Speaker 1: the story there. Um I switched positions. Let's see after 575 00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:22,199 Speaker 1: I had tour a c L three times in college, 576 00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:25,159 Speaker 1: but the second time I switched positions because, yeah, we 577 00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:27,680 Speaker 1: had two quarterbacks that were good players, that were established 578 00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:30,080 Speaker 1: and I didn't see myself playing there. And you know, 579 00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:32,440 Speaker 1: coach had asked me to switch over to receiver because 580 00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:35,800 Speaker 1: I can quarterback playing receiver help get people lined up, 581 00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:37,760 Speaker 1: not be the future guy, but just kind of make 582 00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:40,320 Speaker 1: this offense go and get ready to get up the 583 00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:42,000 Speaker 1: line scrimmage and be in the right place sometimes. So 584 00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:44,400 Speaker 1: it was fun of a great experience as a different 585 00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:46,640 Speaker 1: lens from the viewing the game. And you know, we'll 586 00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:48,480 Speaker 1: see that meeting room and how those guys were taught 587 00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:50,960 Speaker 1: and and go out there and try to execute because 588 00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:52,679 Speaker 1: the speed of the game is totally different when your 589 00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:56,040 Speaker 1: receiver one from being conditioned to run that many routes 590 00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:59,000 Speaker 1: and just get back every single player reset as opposed 591 00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:01,560 Speaker 1: to a quarterback from the men, the mental focus needed 592 00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:04,200 Speaker 1: every play where you've got to reset, not standpoint. So 593 00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:05,760 Speaker 1: it was it was a good experience for me. Yeah, 594 00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:08,440 Speaker 1: but they don't let everybody play receiver. What were you running? 595 00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:14,199 Speaker 1: Uh not fast? Maybe four seven mid four seven. It's 596 00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:18,600 Speaker 1: not fast. And like I said, you were carrying out 597 00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:21,800 Speaker 1: a little bit more weight than you Yeah, yeah, were 598 00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:26,120 Speaker 1: at I was probably two fifteen still the quarterback weight. 599 00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:28,920 Speaker 1: But um at that at that point in my career, 600 00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:30,760 Speaker 1: you know, I just I just wanted to help the 601 00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:33,399 Speaker 1: team do whatever to win, and whether I had to 602 00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:35,560 Speaker 1: play special teams and that's just I was a red 603 00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:37,320 Speaker 1: shirt team or just happy to be there with my 604 00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:39,840 Speaker 1: guys that came in with with that that recruiting class 605 00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:42,320 Speaker 1: and just just try and go out there and execute, 606 00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:44,320 Speaker 1: even if it was ten plays twelve plays a game. 607 00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:45,840 Speaker 1: It was. It was a good experience for me. But 608 00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:48,080 Speaker 1: why did that different ones help you? He said, as 609 00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:49,840 Speaker 1: far as you in the game. Yeah, just to hear 610 00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:52,399 Speaker 1: how those guys are talking because you know, and and 611 00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:55,119 Speaker 1: the different angles of the game which they watched the film. 612 00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:57,399 Speaker 1: You know, it's more so matchup when you are in 613 00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:00,200 Speaker 1: a man of man situation for receiver and then the 614 00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:02,600 Speaker 1: quarterback meeting room, we're looking at the whole the whole 615 00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:05,000 Speaker 1: picture as far as conceptionally, what are we trying to do? 616 00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:08,320 Speaker 1: And receivers, you you're really just watching your technique. You're 617 00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:11,160 Speaker 1: watching the DBS technique and how much you can separate 618 00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:14,200 Speaker 1: and within the timing of play. So it was it 619 00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:15,680 Speaker 1: was fun to be in that room. What do you 620 00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:19,600 Speaker 1: think about the group around I mean surrounding your young quarterback? 621 00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:22,160 Speaker 1: Now you had a Garrett Wilson in the off season, 622 00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:25,760 Speaker 1: Alijah More five touchdowns and eleven games, Corey Davis Beck healthy, 623 00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:29,720 Speaker 1: Braxton Burials returns as well. He resigns in the off season. 624 00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:32,399 Speaker 1: Denzel Mims, I can go down the list. What do 625 00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:34,440 Speaker 1: you think about the group, It's a it's a good group. 626 00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:37,359 Speaker 1: It's an explosive group. They got big play potential. Um, 627 00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:39,959 Speaker 1: they all they all got rack ability, so running after 628 00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:42,480 Speaker 1: the catch and that's that's where Zach needs to understand, 629 00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:45,200 Speaker 1: like those guys just get the football in their hands 630 00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:47,520 Speaker 1: and with whatever we're asking you to do, with whatever 631 00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:50,120 Speaker 1: route they're running. If that guy is open, let's get 632 00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:51,720 Speaker 1: it to them quickly so they can go make the 633 00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:54,400 Speaker 1: explosive play. Yes, we're still going to go off top. 634 00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:56,880 Speaker 1: We're and have our creative plays and explosive opportunities, but 635 00:28:57,720 --> 00:28:59,920 Speaker 1: it's a it's a great room for the explosive potent 636 00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:01,960 Speaker 1: filed with the underneath throws, which you love to see 637 00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:04,680 Speaker 1: as a quarterback. Speaking of underneath throws, how about so 638 00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:07,880 Speaker 1: many security blankets in terms of the tight position. You 639 00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:11,400 Speaker 1: guys had Cjama, Tyler Conklin, a free anency they combined 640 00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:13,560 Speaker 1: for a hunter and time catches last year. And then 641 00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:15,360 Speaker 1: you come back and you mentioned it before you get 642 00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:18,200 Speaker 1: rutgered in the draft. Yeah, and that that's just from 643 00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:21,640 Speaker 1: a scheme standpoint. You know, defenses can't play certain coverages 644 00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:24,440 Speaker 1: if we across the board have have weapons and they 645 00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:27,720 Speaker 1: can't take away the receivers and leave the tight end 646 00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:29,840 Speaker 1: matched up with a linebacker.

So you want all these 662 00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:14,040 Speaker 1: guys that just leave leave the field feeling really good 663 00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:16,040 Speaker 1: about what they put out for the last four weeks 664 00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:18,960 Speaker 1: or even more so two months with Phase two and 665 00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:20,560 Speaker 1: knowing what they gotta do to get a little bit 666 00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:22,920 Speaker 1: better and come back and train and get in shape 667 00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:25,240 Speaker 1: and mentally ready to roll and we can hit the 668 00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:27,840 Speaker 1: ground running. As far as scheme wise, I'm jumping a 669 00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:29,720 Speaker 1: little bit. I'm and go back to you. You see 670 00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:32,520 Speaker 1: f days you said you knew you wanted to be 671 00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:35,880 Speaker 1: a coach. You started at the high school level. What 672 00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:39,160 Speaker 1: kind of advice would you give to somebody who wants 673 00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:42,400 Speaker 1: to coach. Just get your foot in the door with 674 00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:48,080 Speaker 1: whatever program, organization, with whatever job it is. And um, 675 00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:50,080 Speaker 1: I was lucky enough to just stay in the Orlando 676 00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:54,000 Speaker 1: area because Central Floria did not have a graduate assistant 677 00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:56,600 Speaker 1: spot open yet. So coach Olia told me to just 678 00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:59,400 Speaker 1: hang out for six months, you know, go go do whatever. 679 00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:02,560 Speaker 1: And I ended up working at Blake Bortles Old High 680 00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:05,280 Speaker 1: School and you know, getting to no coach Allen there, 681 00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:07,720 Speaker 1: they gave me a job and I was working in 682 00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:10,520 Speaker 1: the school and was able to coach, and then come January, 683 00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:12,719 Speaker 1: I was able to get on staff at ucfrom from 684 00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:15,360 Speaker 1: then from then on, just stuck with it. But then 685 00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:17,360 Speaker 1: a young coach, you just want to get into the building, 686 00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:20,600 Speaker 1: into the organization with whatever whatever you're doing, and then 687 00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:23,600 Speaker 1: that's your that's your interview. And if it's an internship, 688 00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:26,760 Speaker 1: if it's an on field, if it's a whatever, do 689 00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:29,560 Speaker 1: you have that moment you step into building to impress whoever, 690 00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:32,600 Speaker 1: because you never know, And in today's day and age, 691 00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:34,480 Speaker 1: there's there's guys if you look at the room that 692 00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:37,880 Speaker 1: it could be head coaches somewhere else. It could be coordinators. 693 00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:41,200 Speaker 1: And that's your interview process as you get going and 694 00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:43,040 Speaker 1: you have to make an impression for however long you're there, 695 00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:45,080 Speaker 1: then you have made an impression because then you went 696 00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:47,960 Speaker 1: into college ranks. One of those stops was Wagner right, yeah, 697 00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:51,160 Speaker 1: waing to college. Yes, that was after UCF was able 698 00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:55,120 Speaker 1: to work with UM coach coach Hotel ng At. Wagner 699 00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:56,600 Speaker 1: was lucky enough to get a job there. And then 700 00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:58,600 Speaker 1: that's where I met coach s Gangarrella, who ended up 701 00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:02,320 Speaker 1: working in San Francisco. But UM, great experience, three three 702 00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:04,760 Speaker 1: great years out on Staten Island. So a lot of 703 00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:06,760 Speaker 1: good players. Greg's not and is one of them who's here, 704 00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:09,000 Speaker 1: and UM, I had a lot of fun during those 705 00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:12,600 Speaker 1: three years. I've enjoyed this very much. We gotta have 706 00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:16,200 Speaker 1: you come back at some point. Lastly, let's just the 707 00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:19,760 Speaker 1: final question would be Robert Sale. All the players says 708 00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:23,640 Speaker 1: say it really connects. You feel him when he talks 709 00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:27,760 Speaker 1: from your perspective being a coach on his staff. What's 710 00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:31,560 Speaker 1: it like working for him and with him? It's uh, 711 00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:33,600 Speaker 1: it's amazing because he makes you look at a lot 712 00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:36,280 Speaker 1: of different things. From a different lens, whether it's how 713 00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:39,640 Speaker 1: delivered we're trying to do things and how meaningful each 714 00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:44,239 Speaker 1: rep is and each single individual each meeting, what are 715 00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:45,880 Speaker 1: we trying to accomplish? And that's how he looks at 716 00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:48,320 Speaker 1: things and can we be delivered? Because the way he 717 00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:51,600 Speaker 1: connects how we run our meetings and what you do 718 00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:53,720 Speaker 1: an individual to how it shows up on game day, 719 00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:56,959 Speaker 1: it's really impactful. As as a coach. Just look at 720 00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:59,880 Speaker 1: that and you're not just running drills. You're doing things 721 00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:03,320 Speaker 1: to get these players ready for Sunday. And and that's 722 00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:05,080 Speaker 1: how you start to prepare yourself as a coach. You 723 00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:08,120 Speaker 1: watch things around the league or whether it happened on Sundays, 724 00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:10,480 Speaker 1: well that could possibly happen. Let me let me have 725 00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:13,440 Speaker 1: a drill set up, Let me have an awareness, just 726 00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:16,440 Speaker 1: mentality ready for the for my position being the quarterbacks. 727 00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:18,880 Speaker 1: Like I just I really appreciate how it used the game, 728 00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:22,680 Speaker 1: how he connects it from everything that we do. Long Islands, 729 00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:24,960 Speaker 1: Rob Calaries, thanks for coming up to the studio. I 730 00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:25,880 Speaker 1: appreciate it. Thank you.
