1 00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:06,840 Speaker 1: Recording in progress. Hey guys, we have Cam here. We'll 2 00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:11,119 Speaker 1: start off with Mike Geese followed by Nick O'Malley, go ahead, Mike, Hey, Cam, 3 00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:13,760 Speaker 1: how are you doing today? I'm might good to see you. 4 00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:16,640 Speaker 1: Good to see you too. I thought it was cool. 5 00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:18,440 Speaker 1: I just wanted to say before I ask my question, 6 00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:23,119 Speaker 1: to watch Coach Belichick's breakdown on the Patriots dot Com 7 00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:27,040 Speaker 1: where he showed in practice, you guys working on John's 8 00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:30,280 Speaker 1: block literally from practice. I thought that was super cool 9 00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:33,320 Speaker 1: to see how you guys work on it, and then 10 00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:34,760 Speaker 1: it showed up in the game. So I just wanted 11 00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:37,839 Speaker 1: to say that, Yeah, absolutely, no, absolutely, you know, I 12 00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:40,080 Speaker 1: mean that's the biggest thing. Everything we do at practice, 13 00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:41,880 Speaker 1: you know, you try to translate it over to the game. 14 00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:44,519 Speaker 1: So it's really good to be able to reinforce you know, 15 00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:47,320 Speaker 1: the practice habits and you know, things you're doing at 16 00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:48,920 Speaker 1: practice that do show up in the game. You know, 17 00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:52,000 Speaker 1: and guys can see that, you know, just reinforces everything 18 00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:53,920 Speaker 1: and that day to day at practice, you know, like 19 00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:56,480 Speaker 1: we talk about, you know, practice is the most important 20 00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:58,520 Speaker 1: thing that we do. So you know, being able to 21 00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:00,520 Speaker 1: show that it definitely helped reinforce we're trying to do 22 00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:04,759 Speaker 1: and trying to accomplish. And my question was yesterday being 23 00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:08,920 Speaker 1: at practice seeing Joe in a black jersey, it made 24 00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:11,360 Speaker 1: me wonder what a snapper could do to earn a 25 00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:14,560 Speaker 1: practice Player of the Week jersey. Yeah, I didn't. I 26 00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:16,240 Speaker 1: didn't know if you had the answer to that, or 27 00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:18,319 Speaker 1: if that was maybe due to Veterans Day or what. 28 00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:21,960 Speaker 1: You know, what the thought was that no, Joe does 29 00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:24,039 Speaker 1: does a really good job for us, you know, whether 30 00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:26,640 Speaker 1: it's you know, keys with a snapper or in coverage. 31 00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:29,120 Speaker 1: You know, the Colts guy in coverage was obviously a 32 00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:31,320 Speaker 1: really good you know, going to the ball. He has 33 00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:33,600 Speaker 1: several tackles, so you know, making that a point of 34 00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:35,600 Speaker 1: vin this is Joe getting out into coverage, you know, 35 00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:37,959 Speaker 1: making us account for him in our scheme, to have 36 00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:40,480 Speaker 1: to account to block for and everything. And then also 37 00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:44,119 Speaker 1: just communicating up there, you know, studying their mannerisms as 38 00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:47,080 Speaker 1: well as studying how they block. You know, does he 39 00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:49,120 Speaker 1: really slide? Does he not? So Joe does a really 40 00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:52,200 Speaker 1: good job and studying the opponent snapper for us as well, 41 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:54,840 Speaker 1: you know, which way were able to pick up keys 42 00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:57,400 Speaker 1: or not keys or coverage, whatever it may be. You know, 43 00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:59,280 Speaker 1: an apply to practice to give our guys the best 44 00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:02,000 Speaker 1: look because sometimes we block the snappers, sometimes we try 45 00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:03,720 Speaker 1: to force through. We will do a lot of different 46 00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:06,640 Speaker 1: things against upon it snappers, and Joe tries to give 47 00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:10,079 Speaker 1: us the best look each week at those snappers him 48 00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:14,080 Speaker 1: on how much was that? So it's probably everything, but 49 00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:17,960 Speaker 1: how much was the block that John made from the 50 00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:20,400 Speaker 1: look Joe gives him practice, Like, is there anything he 51 00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:23,840 Speaker 1: can do to contribute to the timing that we saw 52 00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:25,720 Speaker 1: from that? Or am I like reading way too much 53 00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:28,520 Speaker 1: into that? No, you know, there's a little bit of both. 54 00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:30,200 Speaker 1: You know, we try to change it up because you know, 55 00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:33,280 Speaker 1: each team they're good at studying themselves and looking at themselves. 56 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:35,519 Speaker 1: So you know, we tell Joe to kind of, let's 57 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,639 Speaker 1: study the opponent snappers and give us some mannerisms and 58 00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:41,360 Speaker 1: give us the keys that you think they would be 59 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:43,640 Speaker 1: there or not be there as well. And you know, 60 00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:46,359 Speaker 1: we practice a couple different things a practice. You know, obviously, 61 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:48,520 Speaker 1: the one that we worked in practice obviously helped time 62 00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:50,880 Speaker 1: it up in the game right there. And Joe does 63 00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:52,400 Speaker 1: a good job of giving him that key, and then 64 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:55,120 Speaker 1: he'll go off and he'll give us a dummy key 65 00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:57,239 Speaker 1: He's like, hey, look if they see you doing this, 66 00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:58,920 Speaker 1: and we'll talk about it, like, hey, this could be 67 00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:02,040 Speaker 1: the adjustment that to make so that way we're preparing 68 00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:06,560 Speaker 1: for both whether it's a constant same mannerisms from the 69 00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:08,919 Speaker 1: snap rover and over, or how are we going to 70 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:10,800 Speaker 1: disguise it if we're trying to show it and they 71 00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:15,280 Speaker 1: catch us in something. Thanks Mike, and we're gonna go 72 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:18,480 Speaker 1: to Nick O'Malley, Bob soci and Phil Perry go ahead, 73 00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:21,679 Speaker 1: and Nick, hey, cam one ask what a bye week 74 00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:23,960 Speaker 1: coming up? What's the schedule looking like for the coaches? 75 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:25,800 Speaker 1: We know the players get some time off, here, do 76 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,560 Speaker 1: the coaches get equal time off? We know, like the 77 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:30,560 Speaker 1: late nights for coaches is sort of like the stuff 78 00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:32,960 Speaker 1: of legend. Is there a chance to get some less 79 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:34,720 Speaker 1: late nights to go a little bit more sleep this 80 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:38,160 Speaker 1: week or is it still all systems go? Right now, 81 00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:40,840 Speaker 1: as all systems go, you know, we're gonna be in here. Um, 82 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:43,280 Speaker 1: you know, if coach gives us a day off, you 83 00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:46,240 Speaker 1: know what, we'll take it obviously and rejuvenate the batteries 84 00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:48,560 Speaker 1: and all that and you know, mentally get ready to go. 85 00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,120 Speaker 1: But right now we're we're in here and we're working 86 00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:53,800 Speaker 1: getting ready for next week, and you know, just losing 87 00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:55,720 Speaker 1: a lot of self scout too. I think a lot 88 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:57,480 Speaker 1: of times in the bye which you have to look 89 00:03:57,520 --> 00:03:59,640 Speaker 1: at what you've done well and also what you haven't 90 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,400 Speaker 1: done with So that takes time. If you think about 91 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:05,040 Speaker 1: it for a given week, you know, you're basically game 92 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,880 Speaker 1: planning against yourself, like what would you run against yourself? 93 00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,440 Speaker 1: What would you do against yourself? So you're having to 94 00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 1: take the time that you would normally take in a 95 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,120 Speaker 1: normal game week to diagnose that, Like you don't want 96 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:16,760 Speaker 1: to rush through it because then you're just doing it 97 00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:18,760 Speaker 1: to do and you're check in a box. So if 98 00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,159 Speaker 1: it takes you know, call it three days to game 99 00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:23,680 Speaker 1: plan for an opponent, then it's gonna take you three 100 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 1: days to plan for yourself. So that's three days of 101 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:28,720 Speaker 1: work right there. So you know, that's kind of how 102 00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:30,080 Speaker 1: we look at it, you know. And then if coach 103 00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:32,159 Speaker 1: gives us a day, obviously we take full advantage of 104 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:33,920 Speaker 1: it and you know, relax at home with or it 105 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,039 Speaker 1: be with our wives, our kids. You don't take that day, 106 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:37,839 Speaker 1: but we're all here to you know, at the end 107 00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:39,680 Speaker 1: of the day, make sure we're putting the best players 108 00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:42,400 Speaker 1: in the position to be successful. So we got to 109 00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:44,800 Speaker 1: do our part there as coaches, all right, So also 110 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:47,400 Speaker 1: somes go half with the season. How's the caffeine? Didn't 111 00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:50,760 Speaker 1: take looking? You gave us a what's a status report? 112 00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:52,080 Speaker 1: I think a year or so ago. How's it looking 113 00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:54,800 Speaker 1: right these days? Well, we're decreased, you know. Everybody was 114 00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:57,039 Speaker 1: giving me a little bit of a saying I was 115 00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:59,880 Speaker 1: having too much caffeine. So I now try to compensate 116 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,279 Speaker 1: with a couple of waters, you know, every time you know, 117 00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 1: I have, I have a caffeine and I'll try to 118 00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:05,760 Speaker 1: have a water in between, just to make sure I'm 119 00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:08,640 Speaker 1: a level right there. But I'd say it's probably you know, 120 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:11,760 Speaker 1: I don't know, around five somewhere around there. Um, you know, 121 00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:13,840 Speaker 1: depending on the day of the week, it gets down 122 00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:17,000 Speaker 1: as low as four, um say, never gets lower than four, 123 00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:18,919 Speaker 1: and it probably has gotten as high as six, you 124 00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 1: know in some occases. But trying to keep it lower. 125 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:23,479 Speaker 1: You know. I know a lot of the players afterwards 126 00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:25,640 Speaker 1: they were telling me that's why I'm hot, strong and 127 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,440 Speaker 1: everything like that. So We've got a good laugh out 128 00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:31,160 Speaker 1: of it, you know, and the guys know so we're 129 00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:33,599 Speaker 1: doing everything to stay healthy. But you know that's the 130 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:35,240 Speaker 1: biggest thing. You know, if you needed, you got you 131 00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:37,279 Speaker 1: gotta keep the motor running. So it's got how we 132 00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:38,839 Speaker 1: do it day by day with that one for sure. 133 00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:42,000 Speaker 1: And let's go buy coffees. Correct, that's going by coffees. 134 00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:45,640 Speaker 1: That's right, that's right. Yeah, thank you. We're gonna take 135 00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,800 Speaker 1: our final three. We're gonna go. Bob Socie, Philiperry, and 136 00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:54,440 Speaker 1: Zach Cox. Bob okay, good morning, cam one and Bob. Hey, Cam. 137 00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:57,440 Speaker 1: I want to ask about fearlessness and a return Matt 138 00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:00,320 Speaker 1: because Matthew Slater talked to us early in the week 139 00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:04,880 Speaker 1: and describe that quality, uh, you know, as something that 140 00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:07,839 Speaker 1: all the returners that have been really good that he's 141 00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:13,440 Speaker 1: played around have had, Julian Gunner, Marcus as well. And 142 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:18,119 Speaker 1: I'm curious, as the coach who oversees that position, how 143 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:20,479 Speaker 1: much do you have to try to curb some of 144 00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:23,800 Speaker 1: that fearlessness when what's the balance between you want fearlessness 145 00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:25,920 Speaker 1: and a return man. You know, at the same time, 146 00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:29,360 Speaker 1: you don't want recklessness. So how do you find that balance? 147 00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:34,000 Speaker 1: What are the things that you do and and emphasize Yeah, 148 00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:36,160 Speaker 1: I know you're You're exactly right. You know you want 149 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:39,120 Speaker 1: to got to be fearless back there and aggressive mindset 150 00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:41,640 Speaker 1: to want to return every football, but you also wanted 151 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:43,800 Speaker 1: to be intelligent and smart when it comes to making 152 00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:46,839 Speaker 1: those decisions and being dependable and not being reckless and 153 00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:50,200 Speaker 1: trying to be over aggressive. Now, Um, Troy Brown obviously 154 00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:53,280 Speaker 1: is a great resorce force back there. Um, I can't 155 00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:56,039 Speaker 1: comment Troy enough about, you know, the ability he does 156 00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:57,960 Speaker 1: with the guys back there. You know he's doing a 157 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:01,239 Speaker 1: great job with Marcus right now, just teaching those insta 158 00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:04,960 Speaker 1: and as you go through practice and watching film with 159 00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:07,520 Speaker 1: those guys, it's like, all right, would you return this one? 160 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:10,200 Speaker 1: Why or why not? And the why is the biggest 161 00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:12,480 Speaker 1: thing is because there's a lot of them. That may 162 00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:14,920 Speaker 1: be the situations in the game, Hey, we want to 163 00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:16,920 Speaker 1: be a little bit more aggressive here or able to 164 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:19,880 Speaker 1: be less aggressive to feel this ball in return because 165 00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:22,560 Speaker 1: of whether it's time into the half, into the game, 166 00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:25,360 Speaker 1: the score in the game, as well as how close 167 00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:27,760 Speaker 1: is the guy own me and what scheme of running? 168 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:29,520 Speaker 1: Do I already have a guy back there in front 169 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:33,160 Speaker 1: of me blocking like we've had Peppers before this season 170 00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:35,720 Speaker 1: blocking in front knowing this guy may be I may 171 00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:37,760 Speaker 1: be feeling him, but I know I trust my teammate. 172 00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:39,000 Speaker 1: He's going to be right there in front of me 173 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:42,160 Speaker 1: to make the block. So being able to feel that 174 00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:46,200 Speaker 1: comfortability of trusting your teams as well, And i'd say 175 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:48,400 Speaker 1: on the flip side, like for guys like Slate and 176 00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:51,880 Speaker 1: Schools and Webb and Peppers and John and Pierre, they've 177 00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:54,840 Speaker 1: all been out there on the perimeter, it makes them 178 00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:58,400 Speaker 1: more confident to sustain their blocks longer, knowing that the 179 00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:01,240 Speaker 1: returner is going to be aggressive and gonna want to 180 00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:03,440 Speaker 1: return the ball, so they know, you know, I need 181 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:05,280 Speaker 1: to block this guy at the very end because he 182 00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:07,440 Speaker 1: might be able to take this the very end returning. 183 00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:11,080 Speaker 1: So they all play off one another, and then Marcus, 184 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:14,000 Speaker 1: you know, making decision making, that's the number one like, look, 185 00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:16,800 Speaker 1: it's never wrong to fair catching football, and that's what 186 00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:19,400 Speaker 1: we have to teach him. And it's easier to scale 187 00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:21,560 Speaker 1: back at guy's aggressiveness. Then it's used to make them 188 00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:24,520 Speaker 1: more aggressive. And you know, like we talked to him time, 189 00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:26,520 Speaker 1: no one's controlling the ball after points. So if you 190 00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:30,040 Speaker 1: all fair catch, every football will be okay and we'll 191 00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:31,600 Speaker 1: be able to go play offense. You know, obviously you 192 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:35,080 Speaker 1: want to create those game changing field position plays, and 193 00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:37,160 Speaker 1: that's where it's like, all right, let's go through film, 194 00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:39,080 Speaker 1: let's watch him, and you tell them what you're thinking, 195 00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:41,440 Speaker 1: and then you diagnosed each return like all right, well 196 00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:43,240 Speaker 1: this is what I thought you could have couldn't have 197 00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:46,240 Speaker 1: returned this football? And I think it's just come from 198 00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:49,559 Speaker 1: repetition of seeing it on film and then filling in 199 00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:52,440 Speaker 1: at practice of how close is this guy relative to 200 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:54,640 Speaker 1: where my guy is and blocking, and then it's the 201 00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:57,760 Speaker 1: trust factors the next thing, right, Yeah, I'm appreciate it, 202 00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:00,960 Speaker 1: Thank you very much. I'm gonna take just one question 203 00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:05,440 Speaker 1: from each, Phil and then Zach. Go ahead, Phil, Hey, Cam, 204 00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:07,640 Speaker 1: how are you doing good? Phil? How are you doing today? 205 00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:10,840 Speaker 1: I'm pretty good. I just wanted to ask you about Jake. 206 00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:13,600 Speaker 1: You know, Jake obviously he's had a lot of success 207 00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:18,200 Speaker 1: in you know, his young career, but it does feel 208 00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:20,800 Speaker 1: like something's off with him. So is there anything that 209 00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:24,840 Speaker 1: you can attribute to some of the inconsistency there with Jake? 210 00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:28,080 Speaker 1: Is it part of the operation? Is there? What can 211 00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:31,360 Speaker 1: you tell us is happening there as far as what 212 00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:35,000 Speaker 1: you guys are getting out of your punt team right now. Yeah, 213 00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:37,360 Speaker 1: you know, first of all, Jake's doing a tremendous job 214 00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:40,080 Speaker 1: handling kickoffs. Let's start there, you know. And Jake's not 215 00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:43,439 Speaker 1: just a punter, he's our kickoff specialist if you want 216 00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:45,560 Speaker 1: to call it that. And he's doing a great job 217 00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:47,200 Speaker 1: placing the ball, giving us a great ball as a 218 00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:49,680 Speaker 1: cover there. And then you know the punt team, you know, 219 00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:51,760 Speaker 1: is doing a good job covering out there. We've got 220 00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:54,320 Speaker 1: to continue to improve that, you know. And and that 221 00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:58,800 Speaker 1: just comes with consistency of operational from you know, hands 222 00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:01,840 Speaker 1: to drop point to contact point, you know, and it's 223 00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:04,079 Speaker 1: just you know, is it all working together. You know, 224 00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:06,320 Speaker 1: smooth operation that you know allows you for you to 225 00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:08,520 Speaker 1: have a good ball, good punt. And I think it's 226 00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:10,319 Speaker 1: just you know, every day you got to make sure 227 00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:13,360 Speaker 1: you're presenting yourself out there on the field and attacking 228 00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:15,680 Speaker 1: it like a game, which which you know Jake does 229 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:18,559 Speaker 1: that every day. And you know that's the biggest thing 230 00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:20,800 Speaker 1: for us is what's it looked like a practice? Um, 231 00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:22,679 Speaker 1: you know, like I said, practice is the most important 232 00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:25,000 Speaker 1: thing we do. And you know, whether it's in the 233 00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:27,640 Speaker 1: game and it's miss is here or it doesn't. You know, 234 00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:30,199 Speaker 1: we connected on the very first one past week was 235 00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:32,680 Speaker 1: a great ball, so you know it's coming. It's just 236 00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:35,840 Speaker 1: consistency with the contact and the operation that we just 237 00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:37,760 Speaker 1: got to continue to work and continue to improve on it. 238 00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:43,200 Speaker 1: Thanks Bill, appreciate you, and we'll take our last question 239 00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:48,520 Speaker 1: from Zach Cox. Go ahead, Zach, Hey, Kim, this is 240 00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:51,679 Speaker 1: the extremely random and probably incomes a bunch of question, 241 00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:53,480 Speaker 1: but it's just something that popped into my mind the 242 00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:57,040 Speaker 1: other day just looking at a group like your your 243 00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:59,920 Speaker 1: field goal unit. You've got the defensive tackle in there, 244 00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:05,040 Speaker 1: guard and offensive tackle for those like non specialized positions 245 00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:08,560 Speaker 1: on special teams, how do you decide what player to 246 00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:11,080 Speaker 1: put in what spot? Is there a certain skill set 247 00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:14,600 Speaker 1: that is involved in like the individual blockers on a 248 00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:16,520 Speaker 1: field goal team or a punt team or something along 249 00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:20,320 Speaker 1: those lines. It was just something that I was curious about. Yeah, no, 250 00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:23,280 Speaker 1: m It all depends on your philosophy. You know, some 251 00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:26,240 Speaker 1: people just put your biggest players in there. Um, you 252 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:29,199 Speaker 1: know we obviously, you know, we obviously want big guys 253 00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:31,520 Speaker 1: in there. It expands the edge. It's why you don't 254 00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:35,160 Speaker 1: see really dbs or anything but tight ends you know. 255 00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:37,800 Speaker 1: Now you have the threats or athletic guys at the 256 00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:40,920 Speaker 1: wing positions that can catch a football. Whether that was 257 00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,080 Speaker 1: you know, Anthony Jennings, you know not it was large 258 00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:45,680 Speaker 1: got to start the season. Now it's Dietrich wise that 259 00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:48,240 Speaker 1: are long, you know, because if you're able to expand 260 00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:51,240 Speaker 1: the length off the edge with wingspan, call it, you know, 261 00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:54,000 Speaker 1: our wing positions, we want long guys with long reach 262 00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:56,760 Speaker 1: because now they can help inside and outside and punch you. 263 00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:00,280 Speaker 1: So you're looking at link really for a couple of 264 00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:02,760 Speaker 1: other positions, and then you're looking for size and bulk 265 00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:06,760 Speaker 1: and ability to anchor inside versus the hard aggressive you know, 266 00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:10,400 Speaker 1: bull rush, the straight rush that you're getting inside. So 267 00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:12,600 Speaker 1: you're looking for size guy that can keep low, good 268 00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:14,560 Speaker 1: pad level, which is why you see more of your 269 00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:17,880 Speaker 1: defensive tackles, your offensive guards on the inside of the 270 00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:20,439 Speaker 1: field goal unit specifically, and then on the edge you're 271 00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:24,359 Speaker 1: seeing more of your you know, defensive ends, you're outside linebackers, 272 00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:27,680 Speaker 1: you're tight ends too, you know, stand up guys, offensive 273 00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:30,360 Speaker 1: tackles on the perimeter because of the length the wing 274 00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:33,160 Speaker 1: span to bially be able to control two gaps, you know, 275 00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:35,680 Speaker 1: no matter how you protect them, the field goal unit. 276 00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:39,160 Speaker 1: You know, most teams go to like a six overload side, 277 00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:41,320 Speaker 1: so there's six guys on one side. Well, you're not 278 00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:44,199 Speaker 1: going to have enough people to protect you're you're always 279 00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:46,240 Speaker 1: gonna be down the shorter guy. So you have to 280 00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:48,640 Speaker 1: have those big bodies of the big arms, the big length, 281 00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:51,720 Speaker 1: because each guy's really controlling two gaps. You know, the 282 00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:53,880 Speaker 1: guard is helping in the A and the B, the 283 00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:55,680 Speaker 1: tackles helping them the B in the sea of the 284 00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:57,520 Speaker 1: ends and the sea and the D. And then the 285 00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:00,000 Speaker 1: wing is really in the D and the in the edge. 286 00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:03,199 Speaker 1: So each guy is really responsible for two gaps helping 287 00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:06,120 Speaker 1: the guy on the inside. So the link the size, 288 00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:08,319 Speaker 1: the body types, you know, and then it's the footwork. 289 00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:11,760 Speaker 1: It's an under a you know statement that the footwork 290 00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:14,560 Speaker 1: inside has to be consistent. For a guy's getting on 291 00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:16,679 Speaker 1: his toes and leaning out too much, Well, you don't 292 00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:19,000 Speaker 1: really want that guy because luncheon, he's gonna be able 293 00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:21,920 Speaker 1: to be swam you know. So you gotta have good 294 00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:24,640 Speaker 1: feet footwork to put your foot in the ground really anchor. 295 00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:27,600 Speaker 1: So we look at all that, we look at multiple guys. 296 00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:30,560 Speaker 1: You know, you start with the body types by size 297 00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:32,760 Speaker 1: and by link, and then you start repping guys and 298 00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:35,280 Speaker 1: who has good footwork, who can anchor, who can hold up? 299 00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:37,920 Speaker 1: And then it's the shrink level as well. So there's 300 00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:40,080 Speaker 1: a little bit of different factors, but definitely start with 301 00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:42,280 Speaker 1: the size, specifically on the field goal unit and then 302 00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:44,960 Speaker 1: on the field goal blocking units. The flip side. You know, 303 00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:47,440 Speaker 1: you want the faster guys on the edge to get 304 00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:49,600 Speaker 1: around the guys that can dep and move like you know, 305 00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:51,440 Speaker 1: Jack Jones has done a great job for us, John 306 00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:54,280 Speaker 1: Jones as well, you know, it's always been a great 307 00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:56,560 Speaker 1: guy or and it's the big guys inside because why 308 00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:58,280 Speaker 1: they're going up against big guys, so they're working to 309 00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:02,040 Speaker 1: generate the push inside, get the arms up. So it 310 00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:03,960 Speaker 1: starts with the body types and then who can do 311 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:08,280 Speaker 1: those well? Interesting? Thank you? Thanks all right, guys, thank 312 00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:11,280 Speaker 1: you appreciate it. Thanks Cam, and that'll be the end 313 00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:15,760 Speaker 1: of this room.
