1
00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:02,239
Speaker 1: Where have you seen growth from toppy?

2
00:00:03,640 --> 00:00:05,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think each day, I think each really day

3
00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:08,119
Speaker 2: he comes in to work the right way in the

4
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:11,719
Speaker 2: meeting room, the classroom, in the insult that on the field,

5
00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:14,040
Speaker 2: and he's grown every day he's learning. I think he's

6
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:16,880
Speaker 2: taken steps in the right direction as far as his footwork,

7
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:20,880
Speaker 2: the huddle command, all going through his progressions, even the

8
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:23,239
Speaker 2: protection game. So there's a bunch of elements of his

9
00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:24,360
Speaker 2: game that he's improving each day.

10
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:28,400
Speaker 1: Here in the.

11
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:33,159
Speaker 3: You know the conundrum running backs, they only have so

12
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:36,280
Speaker 3: many carries in their career. Is there any thought to

13
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:39,159
Speaker 3: like limiting sae Quon's workload down the stretch here so

14
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 3: he's fresher for the later when, I don't know, next season,

15
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:46,919
Speaker 3: whatever win games are more meaningful.

16
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:50,559
Speaker 2: I'd say our our training staff, they do a great

17
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 2: job of taking care of those guys throughout the weeks

18
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 2: that they're ready to go on Sunday so they can

19
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:56,320
Speaker 2: go and give maximal effort.

20
00:00:56,520 --> 00:01:00,920
Speaker 3: So have any like long term long term doesn't go

21
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 3: into your short term, but long term thinking doesn't go

22
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 3: into your short term to play.

23
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:06,320
Speaker 2: Club, you know, I think we're just mostly just focused

24
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:08,039
Speaker 2: on today, you know, and how that works, and I

25
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:10,679
Speaker 2: know the guys are you know, getting their preab and

26
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:12,199
Speaker 2: trying to get their buyers right for this week.

27
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 4: When you evaluate guys coming out of college or or

28
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:16,960
Speaker 4: things like that, do you take into consideration their workload

29
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 4: to know what their career longevity could be Like in

30
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 4: the NFL, I.

31
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 2: Think there's short answer. Yes, you look at that, you

32
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:26,040
Speaker 2: see you know how many touches they've had and that

33
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:27,680
Speaker 2: kind of stuff. I think every player is just a

34
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 2: little bit different. You know, some guys you know, can

35
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:33,560
Speaker 2: can take that. Some guys you got to manage. So

36
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 2: it's kind of a per player basis.

37
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:37,040
Speaker 4: Is there a way to tell like other than just

38
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 4: like always yours carry drop Like with all the numbers

39
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 4: you guys don't have with the GPS tracking and all,

40
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:43,400
Speaker 4: is there a way to see like this guy might

41
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 4: be on the decline because this number dropped to this

42
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 4: specific number drop.

43
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 2: That would be probably a little bit better question for

44
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 2: the sports science guys. But I do know in talking

45
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 2: with them in the conversations we have, I know, with

46
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 2: our own players as we're managing through training camp or

47
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 2: even in season right now, we're looking at their workload

48
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 2: working at with their GP yes, numbers are and that's

49
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 2: all kind of built into the science of how we

50
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 2: scheduled practice and how we you know, go through each week.

51
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:11,239
Speaker 1: We like everybody gets second guess at some point. I mean,

52
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:13,960
Speaker 1: on the play that most people talk about in that game,

53
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 1: that fourth and two, I guess what was the reasoning

54
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 1: behind the call and why did it go wrong?

55
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I think that that call, it was

56
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 2: one of those players on fourth down you want to

57
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 2: try and give you as much flexibilit as you can,

58
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 2: whether it's a round or a pass. So it's kind

59
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 2: of one of those RPO categories. We just didn't just

60
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 2: didn't get done.

61
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 5: There's been a lot of young rookie quarterbacks record number

62
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 5: in this year.

63
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:42,359
Speaker 3: What is that name for the league?

64
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 4: Obviously some of that circumstance injury, But but that's that's

65
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:46,640
Speaker 4: about the league kind of going forward.

66
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 2: I'd say, you know, it's it's it's you know, it's

67
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 2: it's always good to have young players in I think,

68
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 2: you know, it's a useful league. I think guys are younger,

69
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 2: but I don't think at the expense of guys getting

70
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 2: hurt or knocked out. You know, you never want to

71
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 2: see players get hurt, But I think it's just a

72
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 2: testaments to the players and to the coaches that they're

73
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 2: getting those guys ready to go and stepping up and

74
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 2: you know, playing meaningful games.

75
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 4: When when you were in the league, it was still

76
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 4: the draft the brookie and he sits for a year

77
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:17,360
Speaker 4: or two, then he plays, and now it's you draft

78
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 4: and you playing right away. Have you seen from when

79
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:23,239
Speaker 4: you were a player to now the game planning and

80
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 4: the playbooks adjust to the point where maybe it's more

81
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 4: easily digestible for a younger guy.

82
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I'd say I'd say every offense is a

83
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 2: little bit different with that, whether they're terminology. But I

84
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 2: know how we we we do it here. You know,

85
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 2: we try to limit that those words so guys can

86
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 2: just play fast, get in, dout of the huddle, gets set,

87
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 2: you know, evaluate the defense. So from from that standpoint,

88
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 2: you're seeing that you're seeing that trend kind of throughout

89
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 2: high school, college and even into the pros.

90
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 6: Have you contemplated coming down to the field in regards

91
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 6: to I know you you like being up top, but yeah,

92
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 6: have you thought about maybe making a change and you know,

93
00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 6: helping down down below?

94
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 2: Like Yeah, I mean I like being up to and

95
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 2: you know, really it's you know, to the preference of

96
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 2: the head coach where he wants me and I'll you know,

97
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 2: I fully support that.

98
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 5: So he wants you up.

99
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:11,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's the one who. Yeah, it was it was

100
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 2: a combination. We both talked about it, and we both

101
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 2: agreed it's probably the best thing to do just to

102
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 2: get a space, get some have some quietness down there

103
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 2: when things are going crazy. So I think I think

104
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 2: it's fine and I like it up there, Like.

105
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 5: How understanding that in the heat of the moment, you know,

106
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 5: you sometimes want players, I would assume to be frustrated

107
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 5: and to want to do more or to do better.

108
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 5: But during this week, how have you seen the offensive guys,

109
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 5: maybe particularly the wide receivers acclimate to you know, they

110
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,560
Speaker 5: have a new quarterback. They it's maybe not going as

111
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,160
Speaker 5: well as they want, but the frustration may or may

112
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 5: not be helpful.

113
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I think it's about just getting the

114
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 2: same page with the quarterback, working with them, and then

115
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:53,839
Speaker 2: then you know, communicating, understanding how you know, how he

116
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:56,559
Speaker 2: sees certain looks already, see certain routes, and just getting

117
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 2: on the same page. And that's just like any any

118
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,720
Speaker 2: week really, So it's just that that process that we're

119
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 2: going through.

120
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 1: Why did you guys suddenly throw the ball a ton

121
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:06,479
Speaker 1: of sheep on the last drive?

122
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:08,920
Speaker 3: Seemed like you were really making a point of trying

123
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:09,599
Speaker 3: to get him the ball.

124
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 2: Gave shep a couple opportunities at the end, and he

125
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 2: capitalized on one. Other than that, you know, we were

126
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 2: just rolling roll receivers.

127
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, how hard is it been to evaluate your receivers

128
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 3: this year? With the offensive line problems earlier in the

129
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 3: season now obviously down here at the third quarterback, none

130
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,160
Speaker 3: of them are going to come close to their career averages?

131
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 3: Is that a man or is that an offensive wide thing?

132
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:34,279
Speaker 1: You know?

133
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 2: I think I talk about this all the every week,

134
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:38,360
Speaker 2: and I really just believe it. I mean, offense is

135
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:41,360
Speaker 2: a love man operation. So it's it's never just one person,

136
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:44,160
Speaker 2: never just one group. So you know, we all got

137
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:46,720
Speaker 2: to be firing and execute at the same level.

138
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:52,040
Speaker 1: I'm you're excited about possibly having the same starting line

139
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 1: for two weeks in a row.

140
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:55,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's always good to have some camaraderie in there

141
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 2: and have the guys kind of communicating and you can

142
00:05:57,800 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 2: see it throughout the week, and so you can see

143
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 2: it in the Walkers and brought this as well, Mike,

144
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 2: from what you.

145
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 1: Guys, you know you're up you said you're you know

146
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:05,600
Speaker 1: you're up top of your watch and I know we're

147
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 1: up top watching. Was there a level of surprise for

148
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 1: you when either you were told or.

149
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:13,919
Speaker 2: You saw Andrew getting ready to come back into the

150
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:16,720
Speaker 2: game considering how he left and uh, you know what

151
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:18,360
Speaker 2: had happened on the field, and what does it speak

152
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:21,720
Speaker 2: about him? Yeah, he's he's he's a tough kid. And

153
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:24,360
Speaker 2: the absolutely you see him go down like that and

154
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 2: kind of you know, was just walking off the field

155
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:28,920
Speaker 2: that you know, it's never never a good thing when

156
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 2: you see he got hurt like that. So it was

157
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 2: great to have him back and great to get him

158
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 2: back in line up. And you know, obviously I think
