You know I'm more mature and not making 70 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:19,680 Speaker 3: those same mistakes I made, you know in college or 71 00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:22,400 Speaker 3: whatever I did. So you know, I treat everybody we 72 00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:25,880 Speaker 3: respecting with careen. Whenever everybody gets over you know, their 73 00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:29,919 Speaker 3: own hate towards me for their own weird reason, then 74 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:34,160 Speaker 3: you know everything will be that good.

Did you 79 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:47,440 Speaker 2: find that particularly valuable going against guys like Benzyl and 80 00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:48,680 Speaker 2: whatever else is. 81 00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:49,320 Speaker 5: Out there with the ones? 82 00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, I would say pretty much. I view it as 83 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:56,080 Speaker 3: the defense does a great job of mixing players in 84 00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:59,200 Speaker 3: so backers, you got rookies out there, sometimes DB's, you 85 00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:04,760 Speaker 3: got different guys out there. So it's not Mentally I 86 00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:07,240 Speaker 3: go out there, I'm like, oh, you know these are 87 00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 3: the ones.

And truthfully, I don't care 89 00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:14,680 Speaker 3: what Olana go out there with. It could be ones, twos, threes, 90 00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 3: whatever the situation is. And I know Friday, when the 91 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:20,200 Speaker 3: game is, if I'm with twos of them with threes, 92 00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:22,120 Speaker 3: it don't matter to me.

Uh, 335 00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:16,800 Speaker 16: not just for you know, me as a quarterback, but 336 00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:18,960 Speaker 16: for the whole unit. And I think that'll be good 337 00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:21,640 Speaker 16: for us, you know, going into Wednesday, but also Friday 338 00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:22,280 Speaker 16: as well. 339 00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:23,800 Speaker 5: Well, yeah, what strengths of yours. 340 00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:26,480 Speaker 13: Do you think can be showcased in a in a 341 00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:28,320 Speaker 13: gay live game setting that maybe. 342 00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:30,080 Speaker 5: Practice is harder to show. 343 00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:33,400 Speaker 16: Yeah, I think just me being myself, you know, and 344 00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:36,040 Speaker 16: being able to go out there and operate. And I 345 00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:39,600 Speaker 16: think at the quarterback position, you make good decisions like that, Uh, 346 00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:41,600 Speaker 16: the rest will come into play and you know, you 347 00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:44,520 Speaker 16: wanna showcase how you can operate within the system, and 348 00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:47,000 Speaker 16: the rest will take care of itself. So that's what 349 00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:49,480 Speaker 16: I wanna, uh be able to showcase. But more importantly, 350 00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:51,280 Speaker 16: just us coming together as a team. I think it's 351 00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:52,160 Speaker 16: a great opportunity for us. 352 00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:55,560 Speaker 11: All you well, you you mentioned that college doesn't really 353 00:15:55,600 --> 00:16:00,360 Speaker 11: have something like this, Yeah, preseason. Is there something where 354 00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:04,120 Speaker 11: you can kind of, you know, compare it to something 355 00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:06,640 Speaker 11: that you've gone through in college that to at least 356 00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:08,200 Speaker 11: kind of put a you know, kind of give. 357 00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:08,640 Speaker 5: It a you know. 358 00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:11,000 Speaker 16: I I actually we were talking about it this morning. 359 00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:12,240 Speaker 16: I actually go back to high school. 360 00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:13,120 Speaker 9: You know. 361 00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:17,320 Speaker 16: I remember in high school we'd have a camp Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Thursday, 362 00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:20,560 Speaker 16: we're scrimmaging three other teams all on field. So it 363 00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:23,240 Speaker 16: gives more of that feel. That's why I kind of 364 00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:26,440 Speaker 16: use the college aspect. I'm not too familiar with it 365 00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:29,840 Speaker 16: since my high school times, so it'll be interesting to 366 00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:32,360 Speaker 16: to see it on you know, display on Wednesday. But 367 00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:34,960 Speaker 16: I look forward to it, and you know, I think 368 00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:38,640 Speaker 16: that's where I kind of use high school college NFL. 369 00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:40,960 Speaker 6: How different it may be. 370 00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:45,120 Speaker 4: How you don't feel like you have been performing in this. 371 00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:45,760 Speaker 3: Camp so far. 372 00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:49,720 Speaker 16: Yeah, I go back to just every single day is 373 00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:52,960 Speaker 16: it's individual of its own, and I think you wanna 374 00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:57,440 Speaker 16: collectively build days, but you know within that you wanna 375 00:16:57,480 --> 00:16:58,960 Speaker 16: be proud of certain reps, but you want to be 376 00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:02,240 Speaker 16: proud of how there's opportunity to grow and and correcting, 377 00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:04,919 Speaker 16: you know, maybe mistake once to next time and continue 378 00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:07,840 Speaker 16: to answer the bell that way. So for me, it's 379 00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:10,600 Speaker 16: just it's doing that and stacking it up. But the 380 00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:13,119 Speaker 16: more reps, the more tries you get at it, the 381 00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:15,919 Speaker 16: more confidence you build, and you know, the ability to 382 00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:19,440 Speaker 16: showcase what you can do slowly by just operating within 383 00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:20,160 Speaker 16: the offense. 384 00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:23,200 Speaker 8: More on your plate. 385 00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:24,879 Speaker 7: And knowing they're putting more on your plate and you 386 00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:25,840 Speaker 7: dealt with that before. 387 00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:28,440 Speaker 14: I guess how would you learn to handle that. 388 00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:30,880 Speaker 7: And stay in the moment and take things one at 389 00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:31,320 Speaker 7: a time and. 390 00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:34,080 Speaker 6: That or study habits for me are huge. 391 00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:35,919 Speaker 16: You know, I think you want to approach it a 392 00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:39,359 Speaker 16: certain way and that's you know, I don't want to 393 00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:41,760 Speaker 16: use this quote again, but coach always talks about an 394 00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:44,560 Speaker 16: elephant eating one bad bite at a time, and and 395 00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:45,920 Speaker 16: for me, it's you got to do it that way. 396 00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:48,240 Speaker 16: You gotta you know, break it down, make it easy 397 00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:51,600 Speaker 16: to learn and memorize. But then also when you're out there, 398 00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:53,280 Speaker 16: it's got to be able to translate as well. So 399 00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:55,840 Speaker 16: you know, whenever you can translate you know, the classroom 400 00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:57,960 Speaker 16: to the field, that's been huge for me. And that's 401 00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:01,280 Speaker 16: whether it's walked throughs, you know, going through the cadence 402 00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:03,800 Speaker 16: and calls, you know, getting used to that. But then 403 00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:08,160 Speaker 16: also you know, the physical aspect of connecting with receivers, 404 00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:10,760 Speaker 16: being able to see a operation pre snap and post. 405 00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:13,120 Speaker 16: Now that's all things that, uh, you wanna be extremely 406 00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:15,560 Speaker 16: comfortable in so that you can just go out and 407 00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:16,280 Speaker 16: play now that. 408 00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:18,399 Speaker 8: You're more familiar with this offense. 409 00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:22,639 Speaker 18: It's just it's just made Uh in what ways is 410 00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:25,120 Speaker 18: this system exce excentuat. 411 00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:25,440 Speaker 9: Would you do better? 412 00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:30,080 Speaker 16: You know, I think throughout the process, you know, even 413 00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:32,080 Speaker 16: leading up to here, I knew that there's a lot 414 00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:35,679 Speaker 16: of similarities you know, in in Oregon and what I 415 00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:39,040 Speaker 16: did there, which you know, helped me come in here 416 00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:42,000 Speaker 16: in Cleveland. Offensively, I think schematically there's a lot of 417 00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:45,399 Speaker 16: things that I have done before in the past, so 418 00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:47,640 Speaker 16: I could conceptualize it a lot easier in that way. 419 00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:48,360 Speaker 6: But I think. 420 00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:51,960 Speaker 16: In just my abilities, I I've I've done it, you know, 421 00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:54,679 Speaker 16: in in this type of scheme.

So I think if our players, 492 00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:51,600 Speaker 20: our coaches can stay within that framework and that mentality 493 00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:53,320 Speaker 20: of hey, let's just focus on the process or our 494 00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:56,359 Speaker 20: guys doing the right things that will lead to success, 495 00:21:57,040 --> 00:22:00,359 Speaker 20: then hopefully we can avoid any overreactions and save all 496 00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:02,520 Speaker 20: the overreactions for you guys, and we'll stay in our 497 00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:04,119 Speaker 20: target inside of our building. 498 00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:06,400 Speaker 8: You plan for how you're gonna roll out the four 499 00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:08,199 Speaker 8: qbs in the preseason. 500 00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:12,200 Speaker 20: Game, Yeah, we're working through it, obviously, depending on who's 501 00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:14,560 Speaker 20: available and whatnot.

And you feel that 511 00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:30,840 Speaker 20: in a certain progression as you go through camp, right 512 00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:33,960 Speaker 20: first seven or eight days, you're in an install mode 513 00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:37,280 Speaker 20: where you're trying to install offense regardless of what you're 514 00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:40,040 Speaker 20: really seeing defensively, and defensively, you're trying to install your 515 00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:42,320 Speaker 20: stuff regardless of what you're seeing on offense. And then 516 00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:44,919 Speaker 20: once you kind of get past that install phase, you 517 00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:47,479 Speaker 20: start focusing, all right, this is who we believe we 518 00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:49,280 Speaker 20: can be, this is what fits our team, this is 519 00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:51,480 Speaker 20: what fits our personnel, and then you start to build 520 00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:53,520 Speaker 20: off of that, and that's when you want to see 521 00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:56,360 Speaker 20: the results follow because the process has been laid Hey 522 00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:57,399 Speaker 20: to mean, just lo'll. 523 00:22:57,280 --> 00:22:57,840 Speaker 21: Get you at it. 524 00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:02,919 Speaker 2: It looks like Dylan game ruggs strongly, So how do 525 00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:07,520 Speaker 2: you assess the way that that he's having this camp? 526 00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:09,359 Speaker 20: Yeah, I mean, I think all four of our guys 527 00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:11,720 Speaker 20: have had really positive days and have had some days 528 00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:15,479 Speaker 20: where they've not practiced as well as they want to. Certainly, 529 00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:18,480 Speaker 20: you're gonna see great days from guys and they're gonna 530 00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:20,679 Speaker 20: bounce back the next day and maybe not be as 531 00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:23,639 Speaker 20: as polish as we'd want them to be.

He's knowing what to do 667 00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:56,440 Speaker 20: and knowing how to do it. And when you put 668 00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:58,640 Speaker 20: in that work, good results as you follow. I know 669 00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:00,760 Speaker 20: it was one practice work and said the d line, 670 00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:03,200 Speaker 20: who's living in a backfield? Yeah, overall, how do you 671 00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:06,440 Speaker 20: think you're lying? I know it's more than life, but 672 00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:07,160 Speaker 20: the line's done. 673 00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:07,560 Speaker 7: Yeah. 674 00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:10,760 Speaker 8: In the run, you know, the runs inside runes. 675 00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:13,320 Speaker 20: Yeah, Coach Bloom's done a great job with those guys. 676 00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:14,640 Speaker 20: Those guys are completely bought in. 677 00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:15,360 Speaker 6: You know. 678 00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:18,000 Speaker 20: It's funny and once you put on pads, it's crazy 679 00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:19,160 Speaker 20: how much easier it is to block. 680 00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:19,440 Speaker 7: Right. 681 00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:22,560 Speaker 20: So we just got to continue to focus on the 682 00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:25,120 Speaker 20: fundamentals and work like it is so important that those 683 00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:27,560 Speaker 20: guys get as many reps together as possible, right, Like 684 00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:30,800 Speaker 20: the communication, the nuance of passing things off. It takes 685 00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:33,680 Speaker 20: a lot of time and repetition, and so that's where 686 00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:36,640 Speaker 20: our focus is. And look, they love the when we're 687 00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:38,280 Speaker 20: able to move the ball and balance the run in 688 00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:40,240 Speaker 20: the past and not being a third and long situation. 689 00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:45,280 Speaker 20: So those guys are completely bought in, really pleased with 690 00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:47,719 Speaker 20: the progression there. And again Bloom's done a great job 691 00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:50,680 Speaker 20: with that. So it's coach Wilkerson and Sanders who works 692 00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:52,360 Speaker 20: with them as well, So all three of them have 693 00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:54,000 Speaker 20: that have that group going in the right direction. 694 00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:56,920 Speaker 19: How do you think the Wan specifically has handled this 695 00:29:57,120 --> 00:29:58,200 Speaker 19: move and working on. 696 00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:03,160 Speaker 20: The west side and like along, yeah, dealing with you 697 00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:07,480 Speaker 20: see him get frustrated, but who doesn't, right, yeah, no, no, 698 00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:10,560 Speaker 20: And we put Dewan in challenging situations by design, right, 699 00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:12,680 Speaker 20: We give him help when we think we need to. 700 00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:16,440 Speaker 20: But look, he's continuing to progress. We you know, he's 701 00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:18,880 Speaker 20: worked really hard to get him to a place where 702 00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:20,040 Speaker 20: we feel like he can be out there for a 703 00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:23,280 Speaker 20: sustained amount of time. And he's progressing well, and he's 704 00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:25,000 Speaker 20: bought in, right, now and we have him working in 705 00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:28,000 Speaker 20: the right direction again. You know, my house wasn't exactly 706 00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:31,040 Speaker 20: out there the whole day Saturday, but but Dewan really 707 00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:33,960 Speaker 20: had a strong practice and every rep he does take 708 00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:37,520 Speaker 20: and every time he faces that success, it's really a 709 00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:40,320 Speaker 20: positive step for us as an offense. And again, please 710 00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:41,840 Speaker 20: with Dewan right now, just want to keep him in 711 00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:44,120 Speaker 20: the right place and keep moving forward and buying into 712 00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:50,720 Speaker 20: the technique. Can't here, Yeah, no, Harold's He's moved around 713 00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:54,040 Speaker 20: all over the place for us, catches everything. You know, 714 00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:55,800 Speaker 20: you saw it on his college film how much he 715 00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:57,720 Speaker 20: competes in the run game and has value there. 716 00:30:57,880 --> 00:31:00,680 Speaker 7: So you know it's termed far as a rookie goes. 717 00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:03,080 Speaker 20: He's really done everything we've asked and we've put a 718 00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:06,440 Speaker 20: lot on his plate and excited about where he is 719 00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:07,640 Speaker 20: in his progression right now. 720 00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:12,000 Speaker 2: Have you see Deanty Johnson make strides and as we've 721 00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:13,160 Speaker 2: gone deeper into camp. 722 00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:15,840 Speaker 20: Yeah, you know, I think for Tay was, hey, get back, 723 00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:18,360 Speaker 20: we gotta get back into playing shape, get back in 724 00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:20,800 Speaker 20: the playbook. And you know, every day he's been here, 725 00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:23,320 Speaker 20: the comfort level seems to grow, and his relationship with 726 00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:26,000 Speaker 20: the quarterbacks and the players seem to grow. And look, 727 00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:28,000 Speaker 20: when you wrap as many guys as you do, sometimes 728 00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:30,840 Speaker 20: you lose the timing that you build the rapport of. 729 00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:34,040 Speaker 20: So all those reps, all those throws are valuable for 730 00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:37,040 Speaker 20: us right now. And Tays certainly done a nice job. 731 00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:42,240 Speaker 11: One of developing that poor and how important is it 732 00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:45,200 Speaker 11: to in the next week or so kind of whittle 733 00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:49,920 Speaker 11: that that rotation down at quarterbacks so that these guys 734 00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:53,360 Speaker 11: can't guys like Jerry and beyond the hens started developing 735 00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:54,520 Speaker 11: a hole with whoever. 736 00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:54,920 Speaker 7: Might be though. 737 00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:57,720 Speaker 20: Yeah, that'll continue to progress this camp goes on, and 738 00:31:58,000 --> 00:31:59,680 Speaker 20: you know we'll have plenty of throws and reps over 739 00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:02,400 Speaker 20: the next but is it four weeks to make sure 740 00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:03,120 Speaker 20: that we're ready to go? 741 00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:05,640 Speaker 7: Come you know early September you coached and. 742 00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:07,560 Speaker 6: Year. 743 00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:13,840 Speaker 7: Yeah, are you pleased with us care for year? Yeah? Yeah? 744 00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:16,280 Speaker 7: I think he's had one drop so far. 745 00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:19,120 Speaker 20: And you know, Dave's done a nice job of getting 746 00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:21,760 Speaker 20: back and being ready to go and really bought in 747 00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:24,720 Speaker 20: right now, really love where his mentality is. And he's 748 00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:27,080 Speaker 20: doing so many positive things for our offense right now, 749 00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:28,640 Speaker 20: and you know we need him as a leader and 750 00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:31,720 Speaker 20: as a proven player to continue on that stride. 751 00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:34,120 Speaker 5: Is he even bigger than he was last year? 752 00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:36,040 Speaker 4: I mean it looks he almost looks like he's blacked up. 753 00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:39,320 Speaker 7: A little bit to help in the blocking game, or yeah, 754 00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:41,320 Speaker 7: I think maybe, yeah, maybe not. 755 00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:46,360 Speaker 1: Defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz talks about how Denzel Ward is 756 00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:48,520 Speaker 1: the best cornerback he's ever coached. 757 00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:52,680 Speaker 8: It's more of a general. 758 00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:53,920 Speaker 9: Question about your philosophy. 759 00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:58,480 Speaker 11: Worked for Bill and Nick here, you go to Baltimore, 760 00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:01,960 Speaker 11: you work for Marvin. You know, how do all those 761 00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:05,280 Speaker 11: philosophies sort of come together to form you know, this 762 00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:08,000 Speaker 11: the philosophy you've kind of come to say. 763 00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:10,240 Speaker 5: I don't say as your own, but it's the one 764 00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:11,520 Speaker 5: that's attributed. 765 00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:11,960 Speaker 6: So much to you. 766 00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:12,920 Speaker 9: Yeah, you do. 767 00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:16,520 Speaker 10: You take a little bit from coaches that you've met 768 00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:18,920 Speaker 10: along the way, not just in schemes, but just in 769 00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:23,320 Speaker 10: ways they handle situations, ways they organize, ways they organized. 770 00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:25,680 Speaker 9: Their staff, the way they deal with players. 771 00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:27,840 Speaker 10: You know, you're watching, like, hey, that was really good 772 00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:31,240 Speaker 10: the way Marvin did this, or hey, the way you 773 00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:33,800 Speaker 10: know Bill did that. If I'm ever in that situation, 774 00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:37,040 Speaker 10: I'll do the same thing. I think. Scheme wise, though, 775 00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:42,200 Speaker 10: it probably comes more just from success and failure in 776 00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:45,320 Speaker 10: the in the league, you know, And I was I 777 00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:47,800 Speaker 10: was telling somebody before. A lot of what we built 778 00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:50,640 Speaker 10: with the defensive front came when I was at Tennessee 779 00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:54,920 Speaker 10: and we had the challenge of facing Gary Kubiak's Texans, 780 00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:59,320 Speaker 10: which were wide zone and stretch, and Peyton Manning which 781 00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:03,680 Speaker 10: was wide zone and those heavy play actions in quick passes, 782 00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:07,320 Speaker 10: and then Jacksonville, which was a heavy, heavy power run game. 783 00:34:08,160 --> 00:34:11,000 Speaker 9: And you know, there's no greater teacher in this league 784 00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:12,040 Speaker 9: than failure. 785 00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:14,200 Speaker 10: Right, you know, And we spent a lot of time 786 00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:17,279 Speaker 10: on learning, like what doesn't work, and then you sort 787 00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:20,440 Speaker 10: of refine and you're like, okay, that works. Plus you know, 788 00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:23,680 Speaker 10: things sort of roll back, you know, like mobile quarterback. Well, 789 00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:26,920 Speaker 10: you've already had Michael Vick. So the next time whatever 790 00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:29,400 Speaker 10: Lamar Jackson comes, it's like, well, I knew how to 791 00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:33,040 Speaker 10: get my buck beat beat by Michael Vick. Let's try 792 00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:35,920 Speaker 10: to change some of those some of those things. So 793 00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:42,160 Speaker 10: it's it's i'd say probably fifty to fifty in schemes 794 00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:47,320 Speaker 10: and taking things from different coaches, whether it's you know, 795 00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:52,960 Speaker 10: organization or or dealing with the players or dealing with 796 00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:56,680 Speaker 10: the other coaches, and then also just experiencing the league 797 00:34:56,719 --> 00:35:01,880 Speaker 10: playing those other things. So go ahead, I'm sorry, what 798 00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:05,560 Speaker 10: did they do? Yeah, both of those guys are are 799 00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:08,160 Speaker 10: really doing well. I mean, let's let's not put him 800 00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:09,960 Speaker 10: in the Hall of Fame yet. They're both rookies. But 801 00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:15,080 Speaker 10: I'll start with Mace. Mace has really made a tremendous 802 00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:20,239 Speaker 10: turnaround in his body composition. I don't know if you 803 00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:23,919 Speaker 10: guys have noticed it, but it's it's it's been significant 804 00:35:24,239 --> 00:35:26,320 Speaker 10: from the time he got here after the draft to 805 00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:30,400 Speaker 10: the shape he's in now. He's his metrics are like 806 00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:34,080 Speaker 10: much much improved. He's running a lot faster, and there 807 00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:37,400 Speaker 10: was an adjustment. He played a red scheme where he 808 00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:39,200 Speaker 10: was hunkering at the line of scrimmage, so he didn't 809 00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:40,960 Speaker 10: get a chance to make a lot of sacks or 810 00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:44,080 Speaker 10: those tackles for losses, even though he's really productive in 811 00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:46,680 Speaker 10: what he did. So not only was he sort of 812 00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:50,160 Speaker 10: changing his body composition, but he was like learning a 813 00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:53,719 Speaker 10: whole new way to play defense, which is attack. And 814 00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:57,200 Speaker 10: there's been, you know, some setbacks along the way. But 815 00:35:57,320 --> 00:36:00,000 Speaker 10: the thing with Mace is he's taken two steps forward 816 00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:03,320 Speaker 10: for every one step back he's taken. So he's gaining 817 00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:07,520 Speaker 10: ground and you're starting to see him make more plays. 818 00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:10,440 Speaker 10: I think it was Friday he had one of the 819 00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:13,920 Speaker 10: best rushes he's had in practice. He just it was 820 00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:16,480 Speaker 10: a b gap rush and it was just beating the 821 00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:19,640 Speaker 10: guard with speed. Nothing fancy about it, but that was 822 00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:21,439 Speaker 10: something that we really had to see in a lot 823 00:36:21,520 --> 00:36:24,680 Speaker 10: of you know, back in OTAs. 824 00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:26,239 Speaker 9: And in May so been happy with him. 825 00:36:26,239 --> 00:36:28,800 Speaker 10: There's still gonna be some adjustment anybody that's going to 826 00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:31,719 Speaker 10: a new scheme like that, there's going to be some 827 00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:35,200 Speaker 10: one step forward, two steps or two steps forward one 828 00:36:35,239 --> 00:36:35,839 Speaker 10: step back. 829 00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:38,880 Speaker 9: But as long as it's not one step forward one step. 830 00:36:38,760 --> 00:36:42,359 Speaker 10: Back, he's making progress and really excited to see him 831 00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:45,480 Speaker 10: against some other competition and then see him in some 832 00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:49,480 Speaker 10: games and seeing that translate. You know, we could we 833 00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:52,640 Speaker 10: could be a long time talking about Carson because he 834 00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:55,759 Speaker 10: you know, with Jordan Nick's retirement, you know, it really 835 00:36:55,840 --> 00:36:59,880 Speaker 10: accelerated his timeline of getting him. But everything we've had 836 00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:02,759 Speaker 10: from him, not only has he been able to do, 837 00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:06,680 Speaker 10: but he's he's done a better job than, you know, 838 00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:10,680 Speaker 10: than maybe what we expected. He's got great size, he's 839 00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:14,520 Speaker 10: got great quickness, he's got great speed, he's got great instincts, 840 00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:18,280 Speaker 10: and he's made just as many mistakes as any other. 841 00:37:18,239 --> 00:37:22,719 Speaker 9: Rookie, but he has not made any repeat mistakes. 842 00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:24,840 Speaker 10: And I think you guys have seen some of the 843 00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:27,279 Speaker 10: physicality that he's brought to our practices. 844 00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:30,640 Speaker 9: His communication is as much improved. 845 00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:34,480 Speaker 10: A college guy coming in is a different communication than 846 00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:36,600 Speaker 10: in college because a lot of colleges they look over 847 00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:37,360 Speaker 10: for the signal. 848 00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:40,880 Speaker 9: Nobody really says anything here. He's, you know, a rookie. 849 00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:43,719 Speaker 10: He's he's got to command the huddle, he's got to 850 00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:46,520 Speaker 10: make calls and and do a lot more more things 851 00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:50,200 Speaker 10: like that, and he's he's he's excelled in all those things. 852 00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:53,840 Speaker 10: Really really excited for him, and I'm really happy to 853 00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:54,680 Speaker 10: have both of those guys. 854 00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:58,120 Speaker 19: You guys lost more numbers.

Got I 921 00:41:06,600 --> 00:41:08,800 Speaker 10: got to meet him back when I was sort of 922 00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:13,240 Speaker 10: in the scouting world, legend legend guy, but uh, congratulations 923 00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:13,480 Speaker 10: on that. 924 00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:16,320 Speaker 9: Miles. 925 00:41:16,480 --> 00:41:18,680 Speaker 10: We we sort of go as a defense as Miles goes, 926 00:41:19,080 --> 00:41:20,800 Speaker 10: you know, the right of the pack determined by the 927 00:41:20,880 --> 00:41:24,560 Speaker 10: lead dog. And we played good on defense when Miles 928 00:41:24,680 --> 00:41:30,640 Speaker 10: is playing good. So I think setting that standard means 929 00:41:30,680 --> 00:41:34,040 Speaker 10: a lot defensive player to the year he's been that. 930 00:41:34,840 --> 00:41:37,000 Speaker 9: I think all our guys have been challenged to take 931 00:41:37,200 --> 00:41:38,040 Speaker 9: another step. 932 00:41:38,200 --> 00:41:40,920 Speaker 10: If you're on the practice squad trying to earn a 933 00:41:40,960 --> 00:41:43,040 Speaker 10: spot on the roster, if you were on the roster 934 00:41:43,160 --> 00:41:46,040 Speaker 10: trying to earn a play time or starting spot, you're 935 00:41:46,080 --> 00:41:48,800 Speaker 10: a starter trying to elevate to a Pro Bowl status, 936 00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:52,120 Speaker 10: you know. I I really think the next step from 937 00:41:52,160 --> 00:41:54,400 Speaker 10: Miles is not defensive player to year he's sort of 938 00:41:54,440 --> 00:41:55,120 Speaker 10: been there, done That. 939 00:41:56,719 --> 00:42:00,120 Speaker 9: Next step for him is MVP candidate MM And you. 940 00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:03,399 Speaker 10: Know, if we're playing good on defense and he's he's 941 00:42:03,480 --> 00:42:07,360 Speaker 10: at the heart of that, I think he's in that 942 00:42:07,520 --> 00:42:13,600 Speaker 10: conversation he is a obviously a marked man in every game, 943 00:42:14,040 --> 00:42:17,320 Speaker 10: sees doubles people. You know, we move him around. He 944 00:42:17,400 --> 00:42:20,080 Speaker 10: still wears number ninety five, right, and he still looks 945 00:42:20,120 --> 00:42:24,200 Speaker 10: like he does so it's easy for opponents to find him. 946 00:42:24,680 --> 00:42:29,320 Speaker 10: But my definition of a great player is when the 947 00:42:29,440 --> 00:42:32,719 Speaker 10: opponent says, we're taking this guy out, this guy is 948 00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:34,600 Speaker 10: not going to beat us, and he can still have 949 00:42:35,440 --> 00:42:40,120 Speaker 10: that production and that effectiveness. I think it sets a big, 950 00:42:40,360 --> 00:42:43,919 Speaker 10: big standard and a big statement. And I would say 951 00:42:43,960 --> 00:42:48,560 Speaker 10: we also have to be better around bombs, right, and 952 00:42:49,200 --> 00:42:51,080 Speaker 10: we have to be able to win one on ones 953 00:42:51,160 --> 00:42:54,880 Speaker 10: in pass rush when he does get doubled, because that'll 954 00:42:54,960 --> 00:42:57,000 Speaker 10: help if we can win those one on ones. And 955 00:42:57,080 --> 00:42:59,320 Speaker 10: the offense says, well, we can't afford to put so 956 00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:02,600 Speaker 10: much tension and on Miles because this guy is wearing 957 00:43:02,680 --> 00:43:04,759 Speaker 10: us out or these other guys are wearing us out. 958 00:43:05,040 --> 00:43:07,879 Speaker 10: Then it opens things up. So we need that sort 959 00:43:07,920 --> 00:43:10,640 Speaker 10: of one plus one equals three to some of your 960 00:43:10,880 --> 00:43:13,640 Speaker 10: The some is greater than the individual parts, and I 961 00:43:13,680 --> 00:43:14,960 Speaker 10: think that's a challenge for us. 962 00:43:14,960 --> 00:43:18,000 Speaker 13: Also, Jimmy howsn't we thought about Kevin's Stefanski last week, 963 00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:20,600 Speaker 13: and he made a point to emphasize Kevin's age only 964 00:43:20,719 --> 00:43:23,160 Speaker 13: four forty three, the idea of being, you know, still 965 00:43:23,160 --> 00:43:25,840 Speaker 13: a young coach with the of room to develop. 966 00:43:26,200 --> 00:43:27,640 Speaker 5: You've been around a lot of the great coaches in 967 00:43:27,680 --> 00:43:27,920 Speaker 5: your time. 968 00:43:27,920 --> 00:43:30,720 Speaker 19: Where do you see Kevin on the on his professional 969 00:43:30,800 --> 00:43:31,759 Speaker 19: development curve right now? 970 00:43:31,920 --> 00:43:34,520 Speaker 9: Oh?

I have so much respect for Kevin. 972 00:43:37,239 --> 00:43:39,320 Speaker 9: He's he's so even yea U. 973 00:43:39,400 --> 00:43:41,800 Speaker 10: I think everybody has a little different style, right Like 974 00:43:41,920 --> 00:43:44,640 Speaker 10: I'm I'm a little bit more emotional. I'm a little 975 00:43:44,680 --> 00:43:48,080 Speaker 10: bit more like where your where your emotions on your 976 00:43:48,120 --> 00:43:50,880 Speaker 10: sleeve and things like that. And just the thing I 977 00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:53,800 Speaker 10: respect about Kevin is just how even keeled he is. 978 00:43:53,880 --> 00:43:57,399 Speaker 10: And if you want, if you want teams to play well, 979 00:43:57,680 --> 00:44:00,520 Speaker 10: you need a lot of different ways to touch it. 980 00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:04,840 Speaker 10: And I think Kevin just just that that steady you know, 981 00:44:05,040 --> 00:44:07,920 Speaker 10: like if if you ever, if you ever on a sailboat, 982 00:44:08,400 --> 00:44:11,680 Speaker 10: you know you don't look just in the immediate. 983 00:44:12,040 --> 00:44:12,880 Speaker 9: Front of the sailboat. 984 00:44:12,920 --> 00:44:15,360 Speaker 10: You keep your eye on the horizon and you wanna 985 00:44:15,719 --> 00:44:18,520 Speaker 10: stand that true course, I think Kevin just exemplifies that. 986 00:44:20,920 --> 00:44:24,880 Speaker 11: There's always at scenes in train to camp generally and 987 00:44:25,040 --> 00:44:28,840 Speaker 11: you're in your third year, guys in their third so 988 00:44:29,120 --> 00:44:30,000 Speaker 11: so understandable. 989 00:44:30,080 --> 00:44:33,959 Speaker 9: I guess with the quarterback deals, can. 990 00:44:33,880 --> 00:44:36,440 Speaker 11: You evaluate in your own mind does this look like the. 991 00:44:36,520 --> 00:44:39,759 Speaker 9: Real deal or do you have to be shown? Yeah? 992 00:44:39,840 --> 00:44:43,520 Speaker 10: Yeah, well, I mean I think you do see good signs, right, 993 00:44:43,719 --> 00:44:50,080 Speaker 10: and you're looking for communication, and you're looking for individual effort, 994 00:44:50,360 --> 00:44:52,000 Speaker 10: and you're looking for things like that. 995 00:44:52,719 --> 00:44:54,840 Speaker 9: But when it's all said and done, it's got to 996 00:44:54,880 --> 00:44:56,040 Speaker 9: be on the field, you. 997 00:44:56,120 --> 00:44:58,839 Speaker 10: Know, and and what happens in training camp that can 998 00:44:58,920 --> 00:45:02,360 Speaker 10: be good signs, and that can sort of lead you 999 00:45:02,480 --> 00:45:05,960 Speaker 10: in a direction. But until you until you do it 1000 00:45:06,280 --> 00:45:08,840 Speaker 10: on the field, and you do it consistently on the field, 1001 00:45:09,640 --> 00:45:11,719 Speaker 10: that's I I That's all it is. It is just 1002 00:45:11,840 --> 00:45:15,160 Speaker 10: a good a good sign. So we're we're focused on 1003 00:45:15,520 --> 00:45:18,520 Speaker 10: trying to improve every day and those things to set 1004 00:45:18,640 --> 00:45:22,200 Speaker 10: us up. Like again, like y, you can't you can't 1005 00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:24,440 Speaker 10: start at the end of the journey. You can't say, hey, 1006 00:45:24,560 --> 00:45:28,120 Speaker 10: we're we wanna be a great defense, because then you 1007 00:45:28,320 --> 00:45:30,399 Speaker 10: lose the day to day.

Let's compete, and if you do those things, 1011 00:45:44,120 --> 00:45:47,960 Speaker 10: you do those things consistently, then you'll, you know, you'll 1012 00:45:48,120 --> 00:45:49,400 Speaker 10: you'll get to where you wanna go. 1013 00:45:49,560 --> 00:45:51,520 Speaker 9: But this time of the year, we're really just trying 1014 00:45:51,560 --> 00:45:54,680 Speaker 9: to keep our eyes on on what's there that day 1015 00:45:54,880 --> 00:45:57,160 Speaker 9: and and not worry about a whole lot other than that. 1016 00:45:57,400 --> 00:45:59,680 Speaker 8: It would like just go more and Z and. 1017 00:46:01,280 --> 00:46:04,120 Speaker 4: A level which I don't even know if so what 1018 00:46:04,280 --> 00:46:07,879 Speaker 4: but uh, and then he's also any for NFL as. 1019 00:46:07,520 --> 00:46:11,239 Speaker 10: A player to yourself, what, Yeah, he's a He's I 1020 00:46:11,320 --> 00:46:15,000 Speaker 10: I've always admired Denzel as a player when when I've 1021 00:46:15,760 --> 00:46:19,080 Speaker 10: been on other teams and just the way he goes 1022 00:46:19,120 --> 00:46:22,640 Speaker 10: about doing his things is is just impressive to see 1023 00:46:23,360 --> 00:46:25,320 Speaker 10: to see up close. They knew some guys that have 1024 00:46:25,440 --> 00:46:28,160 Speaker 10: coached him in the past that they you know, they said, like, 1025 00:46:28,320 --> 00:46:30,680 Speaker 10: you're gonna love Denzel, and I certainly do. 1026 00:46:31,880 --> 00:46:33,920 Speaker 9: I've had some good corners in the past. 1027 00:46:35,239 --> 00:46:38,320 Speaker 10: He's probably the best corner I've had in thirty some 1028 00:46:38,520 --> 00:46:41,640 Speaker 10: years in the thirty some years in the NFL. The 1029 00:46:41,719 --> 00:46:44,239 Speaker 10: thing I like about Denzel is just how consistent he 1030 00:46:44,400 --> 00:46:48,839 Speaker 10: is with his preparation. He never phones in a performance. 1031 00:46:49,160 --> 00:46:51,560 Speaker 10: He's making a big effort this year to be more physical. 1032 00:46:52,080 --> 00:46:54,120 Speaker 10: I put hands on cause he's he's such a great 1033 00:46:54,200 --> 00:46:57,600 Speaker 10: shadow guy, and he's working a little bit more now, 1034 00:46:57,680 --> 00:46:59,560 Speaker 10: being a little more physical at the line of scrimmage, 1035 00:46:59,760 --> 00:47:03,800 Speaker 10: give us a little bit more run support, and just sort. 1036 00:47:03,600 --> 00:47:05,520 Speaker 9: Of rounding out some other parts of the game. 1037 00:47:06,040 --> 00:47:08,840 Speaker 10: When it's all said and done, the biggest thing is 1038 00:47:09,000 --> 00:47:11,880 Speaker 10: he just needs to finish so those pbu's with i nts. 1039 00:47:12,520 --> 00:47:15,320 Speaker 10: You know, he was so so productive and in getting 1040 00:47:15,360 --> 00:47:18,040 Speaker 10: pbu's last year, but left a lot of meat on 1041 00:47:18,160 --> 00:47:20,640 Speaker 10: the bone. And you know, the third down stop that's 1042 00:47:20,680 --> 00:47:24,239 Speaker 10: a that's a PBu becomes a game changing play when 1043 00:47:24,280 --> 00:47:27,520 Speaker 10: it's an I n T. And that's probably the biggest 1044 00:47:27,560 --> 00:47:30,760 Speaker 10: thing for him to really make that next step because 1045 00:47:30,960 --> 00:47:35,040 Speaker 10: there were really opportunities there. He knows that, and you know, 1046 00:47:35,120 --> 00:47:37,960 Speaker 10: the finishing the play thing when he does that will 1047 00:47:38,000 --> 00:47:40,479 Speaker 10: be uh, you know, we'll be in a really good spot. 1048 00:47:40,520 --> 00:47:41,040 Speaker 9: On defense. 1049 00:47:41,160 --> 00:47:45,200 Speaker 19: We see him matched up with like Carol Center, So 1050 00:47:45,280 --> 00:47:47,520 Speaker 19: I mean he can match up with any size, any speed, 1051 00:47:47,680 --> 00:47:49,640 Speaker 19: Like how unique is that in the corner for him 1052 00:47:49,680 --> 00:47:51,880 Speaker 19: to basically just be able to match up again. 1053 00:47:51,680 --> 00:47:54,440 Speaker 9: Say, well, you know he does it with his own style. 1054 00:47:54,480 --> 00:47:56,760 Speaker 10: I think the biggest thing with him is he doesn't 1055 00:47:56,800 --> 00:48:00,520 Speaker 10: really change his style for which whether it's Chirr, Judy 1056 00:48:00,640 --> 00:48:04,400 Speaker 10: or Tilley or or Harold or you know, maybe even Joku. 1057 00:48:04,520 --> 00:48:07,239 Speaker 10: He he gets out there sometimes with with him, he 1058 00:48:07,440 --> 00:48:11,120 Speaker 10: just works on his own craft. He's he We've used 1059 00:48:11,200 --> 00:48:15,359 Speaker 10: him to match different receivers, play right and left. We've 1060 00:48:15,440 --> 00:48:18,000 Speaker 10: switched him in camp a little bit here and there, 1061 00:48:19,400 --> 00:48:21,160 Speaker 10: you know, So I don't I don't know that it's 1062 00:48:21,520 --> 00:48:24,279 Speaker 10: that it's unusual in your corner. Over the course of 1063 00:48:24,400 --> 00:48:27,280 Speaker 10: seventeen plus games, there's gonna be a lot of different 1064 00:48:27,400 --> 00:48:29,000 Speaker 10: kind of matchups, you know. 1065 00:48:29,280 --> 00:48:31,600 Speaker 9: I mean we open with Jamar Chase and. 1066 00:48:33,160 --> 00:48:42,879 Speaker 10: Okay, now Higgins, Yeah, my my Tennessee basketball guy, mister 1067 00:48:42,920 --> 00:48:46,080 Speaker 10: basketball in Tennessee as a high school player. Com I mean, 1068 00:48:46,360 --> 00:48:49,000 Speaker 10: like Jamar is not a small receiver, but he's got 1069 00:48:49,080 --> 00:48:51,080 Speaker 10: s quickness of a smaller guy. 1070 00:48:51,760 --> 00:48:52,239 Speaker 9: And t. 1071 00:48:52,480 --> 00:48:55,680 Speaker 10: Higg is just so big and it's just a different style. 1072 00:48:55,760 --> 00:48:57,960 Speaker 10: But you know, so he's gonna have challenge right out 1073 00:48:58,040 --> 00:49:01,480 Speaker 10: the gate. So well, we'll get exposure to all that 1074 00:49:01,560 --> 00:49:02,239 Speaker 10: stuff in camp. 1075 00:49:02,520 --> 00:49:04,560 Speaker 23: Do you think you talk about during ots in many 1076 00:49:04,600 --> 00:49:08,680 Speaker 23: campus improving their down percentage in the takeaways aspect of even. 1077 00:49:08,640 --> 00:49:10,600 Speaker 22: Where we are in camp right now, how do you 1078 00:49:10,680 --> 00:49:12,600 Speaker 22: see you guys kind of embody that. 1079 00:49:12,800 --> 00:49:15,799 Speaker 23: Mentality to improve those areas and they kind of what's 1080 00:49:15,840 --> 00:49:17,480 Speaker 23: been done, what are they focus on? 1081 00:49:17,719 --> 00:49:21,000 Speaker 10: Yeah, probably the biggest thing with with takeaways has been 1082 00:49:21,480 --> 00:49:24,400 Speaker 10: us attacking the ball. I mean, I think it's pretty 1083 00:49:24,400 --> 00:49:28,480 Speaker 10: obviously anybody's watched. You see nine guys attacking the ball 1084 00:49:28,520 --> 00:49:31,000 Speaker 10: and number one. That helps us and we've gotten some 1085 00:49:31,360 --> 00:49:34,200 Speaker 10: loose balls that way. But also it helps our offensive guys. 1086 00:49:34,680 --> 00:49:37,440 Speaker 10: If we're attacking the ball and being so productive there 1087 00:49:37,640 --> 00:49:40,520 Speaker 10: forces them to have better ball security, So that works 1088 00:49:40,600 --> 00:49:42,880 Speaker 10: hand in hand training camp, a lot of times it 1089 00:49:42,960 --> 00:49:46,680 Speaker 10: is hard to read for interceptions because so many interceptions 1090 00:49:46,800 --> 00:49:50,400 Speaker 10: come from a quarterback either thrown before he wanted to 1091 00:49:50,760 --> 00:49:54,800 Speaker 10: or getting hit when he's thrown thrown, or making a mistake. 1092 00:49:54,880 --> 00:49:57,320 Speaker 10: And in training camp, when you're not hitting the quarterback, 1093 00:49:57,360 --> 00:49:59,200 Speaker 10: and those guys know they're not gonna hit, they generally 1094 00:49:59,320 --> 00:50:00,840 Speaker 10: don't make those kind of mistakes. 1095 00:50:02,600 --> 00:50:04,759 Speaker 9: So you know that that that'll just be more. 1096 00:50:04,880 --> 00:50:07,640 Speaker 10: But we we have sort of emphasized a little bit 1097 00:50:07,680 --> 00:50:12,160 Speaker 10: more of a playmaker attitude, so taking some calculative risks 1098 00:50:12,200 --> 00:50:15,480 Speaker 10: here and there, and hopefully that'll show up on the 1099 00:50:15,520 --> 00:50:20,320 Speaker 10: field along with the the ball disruption attempts that we've tried. 1100 00:50:25,680 --> 00:50:26,040 Speaker 9: Each other. 1101 00:50:26,520 --> 00:50:30,200 Speaker 14: That's what you noticed with uh Isaiah and Alex or 1102 00:50:30,280 --> 00:50:31,160 Speaker 14: how they pressed them along. 1103 00:50:31,239 --> 00:50:34,040 Speaker 12: How much have they embrace kind of competition under themselves. 1104 00:50:34,480 --> 00:50:38,640 Speaker 10: Yeah, we have great competition at at defensive defensive end 1105 00:50:38,719 --> 00:50:39,400 Speaker 10: in particular. 1106 00:50:39,760 --> 00:50:41,400 Speaker 9: We got a lot of guys that have started a 1107 00:50:41,440 --> 00:50:42,720 Speaker 9: lot of games in the NFL. 1108 00:50:42,840 --> 00:50:47,000 Speaker 10: You mentioned Zay, you mentioned Alex put put camp, Thomas 1109 00:50:47,080 --> 00:50:50,120 Speaker 10: out there who's had an outstanding camp, but Julian out there, 1110 00:50:50,160 --> 00:50:51,600 Speaker 10: who's had an outstanding camp. 1111 00:50:51,680 --> 00:50:54,640 Speaker 9: kJ new to us.

Honestly, it's been like the theme of 1148 00:52:41,680 --> 00:52:43,160 Speaker 22: this whole campus compete. 1149 00:52:43,640 --> 00:52:47,200 Speaker 2: And we talked about ramping up the intensity and the 1150 00:52:47,320 --> 00:52:50,640 Speaker 2: urgency and then we see live tackling the first time, 1151 00:52:50,640 --> 00:52:52,800 Speaker 2: I think under Kevin here, So have you seen what 1152 00:52:52,920 --> 00:52:56,240 Speaker 2: you've wanted to in that aspect during the first whatever 1153 00:52:56,320 --> 00:52:57,000 Speaker 2: week was a camp? 1154 00:52:57,840 --> 00:53:01,200 Speaker 21: Yeah, And I think you know, coaches delivered a clear 1155 00:53:01,280 --> 00:53:04,120 Speaker 21: and concise message to our team that we need to 1156 00:53:04,200 --> 00:53:07,360 Speaker 21: play harder, we need to practice harder, we need to 1157 00:53:07,520 --> 00:53:09,160 Speaker 21: we need to do things like we're gonna do in 1158 00:53:09,239 --> 00:53:11,880 Speaker 21: the game. And I think that being able to go 1159 00:53:12,040 --> 00:53:16,600 Speaker 21: live and control that control that period on how we're tackling. 1160 00:53:16,800 --> 00:53:18,080 Speaker 21: You know, you don't see you're not seeing a lot 1161 00:53:18,120 --> 00:53:21,040 Speaker 21: of load tackles in that period. Obviously we're staying away 1162 00:53:21,080 --> 00:53:25,080 Speaker 21: from the quarterback, taking care of each other where and 1163 00:53:25,440 --> 00:53:28,520 Speaker 21: and still playing at a high, high speed and getting 1164 00:53:28,600 --> 00:53:29,320 Speaker 21: guys on the ground. 1165 00:53:29,560 --> 00:53:30,839 Speaker 22: So it's been good. 1166 00:53:31,360 --> 00:53:35,279 Speaker 12: How much easier, maybe easier of that were with the 1167 00:53:35,400 --> 00:53:38,600 Speaker 12: kick returns this year instead of last year of first 1168 00:53:38,640 --> 00:53:39,799 Speaker 12: year and being all new. 1169 00:53:39,880 --> 00:53:40,840 Speaker 9: In terms of practice. 1170 00:53:41,680 --> 00:53:43,880 Speaker 21: Yeah, last year we were just trying to figure out 1171 00:53:43,920 --> 00:53:48,160 Speaker 21: the play, you know, and I would say everybody in 1172 00:53:48,200 --> 00:53:50,520 Speaker 21: the league has a much better grasp on everything that 1173 00:53:51,040 --> 00:53:51,879 Speaker 21: goes into that play. 1174 00:53:53,360 --> 00:53:56,840 Speaker 22: And obviously they made the adjustment to have. 1175 00:53:56,920 --> 00:53:58,840 Speaker 21: The touch back to the thirty five, So that's obviously 1176 00:53:58,840 --> 00:54:00,440 Speaker 21: gonna impact the play and we're to see a lot 1177 00:54:00,480 --> 00:54:01,239 Speaker 21: more return balls. 1178 00:54:02,080 --> 00:54:05,239 Speaker 5: You think the process for evaluating to kick your. 1179 00:54:05,120 --> 00:54:10,240 Speaker 21: Positions this year, Yeah, I mean in in any position, 1180 00:54:10,640 --> 00:54:14,239 Speaker 21: especially that position, you want consistency, you know, the consistency 1181 00:54:15,120 --> 00:54:18,520 Speaker 21: inconsistency with the results. So I think that that's gonna 1182 00:54:18,520 --> 00:54:20,719 Speaker 21: be a big, big part of the evaluation here in 1183 00:54:20,800 --> 00:54:21,560 Speaker 21: the next few weeks. 1184 00:54:21,680 --> 00:54:25,319 Speaker 5: You guys have like a consultant, uh, evaluate with where 1185 00:54:25,360 --> 00:54:25,759 Speaker 5: is it just. 1186 00:54:26,400 --> 00:54:29,160 Speaker 22: How No, it's just it's just whoever's here? 1187 00:54:30,360 --> 00:54:30,520 Speaker 9: Yeah. 1188 00:54:30,520 --> 00:54:33,360 Speaker 8: Special teams coach for the first two preseason games. 1189 00:54:33,239 --> 00:54:34,080 Speaker 9: Like the Super Bowl. 1190 00:54:35,680 --> 00:54:36,799 Speaker 22: In in in terms of. 1191 00:54:37,560 --> 00:54:40,480 Speaker 8: Get out there and you're putting guys in speed situations. 1192 00:54:40,600 --> 00:54:43,880 Speaker 21: Yeah, I mean a lot of the the preseason is 1193 00:54:44,200 --> 00:54:48,200 Speaker 21: it's it's challenging because there's so many substitutions that that occur. 1194 00:54:49,080 --> 00:54:51,760 Speaker 21: Some guys are on like, uh, if they're playing offensive defense, 1195 00:54:51,800 --> 00:54:54,040 Speaker 21: they may play like ten to fifteen snaps. So then 1196 00:54:54,080 --> 00:54:56,279 Speaker 21: you gotta manage when that guy is gonna be able 1197 00:54:56,320 --> 00:54:58,719 Speaker 21: to factor for you. He may play only the first 1198 00:54:58,800 --> 00:55:01,120 Speaker 21: quarter on some units, you're there's a lot of guys 1199 00:55:01,160 --> 00:55:03,640 Speaker 21: coming in and out, So we always hit on that 1200 00:55:03,840 --> 00:55:06,600 Speaker 21: hard and harp on that to everyone. Be locked in, 1201 00:55:07,400 --> 00:55:09,600 Speaker 21: uh to what's going on in the game, the situation 1202 00:55:09,760 --> 00:55:12,440 Speaker 21: in the game, and then the players. The coaches need 1203 00:55:12,520 --> 00:55:15,920 Speaker 21: to have good communication with me and Kyle uh, so 1204 00:55:16,040 --> 00:55:18,000 Speaker 21: we can always have the right guys. 1205 00:55:17,800 --> 00:55:20,880 Speaker 22: On the field executing, you know, at the best of 1206 00:55:20,880 --> 00:55:21,440 Speaker 22: their ability. 1207 00:55:21,560 --> 00:55:24,200 Speaker 18: So would you like it sounds like he's been an 1208 00:55:24,200 --> 00:55:26,839 Speaker 18: interest moment once throughout any camp. 1209 00:55:27,120 --> 00:55:29,520 Speaker 22: Yeah, what are you expecting? 1210 00:55:31,440 --> 00:55:34,239 Speaker 21: Yeah, he's been. He's been really good. He's he's been 1211 00:55:34,440 --> 00:55:38,200 Speaker 21: very consistent. His directional looks better than it has in 1212 00:55:38,280 --> 00:55:41,000 Speaker 21: the past. I would say he's obviously got a very 1213 00:55:41,080 --> 00:55:44,239 Speaker 21: explosive and powerful leg. I think being it for him, 1214 00:55:44,280 --> 00:55:46,920 Speaker 21: being able to match the the hang times to the 1215 00:55:47,040 --> 00:55:51,960 Speaker 21: distances is important and eliminate the mishit balls and also 1216 00:55:52,000 --> 00:55:54,680 Speaker 21: the balls where we're hitting it too far with not 1217 00:55:54,880 --> 00:55:56,600 Speaker 21: enough hang. So I think that that's been a focus 1218 00:55:56,680 --> 00:55:58,160 Speaker 21: for him that he's done a really good job of 1219 00:55:58,719 --> 00:55:59,759 Speaker 21: in this early part of camp. 1220 00:56:00,000 --> 00:56:04,400 Speaker 2: We can normal rep camp for Dustin so far, Like 1221 00:56:04,520 --> 00:56:06,920 Speaker 2: I don't remember, like Kevin said, there was one, but 1222 00:56:06,920 --> 00:56:09,120 Speaker 2: I remember a lot of team kicky periods. I know 1223 00:56:09,239 --> 00:56:10,160 Speaker 2: he's gonna kick myself. 1224 00:56:10,200 --> 00:56:12,160 Speaker 8: But do you think is this been a normal camp 1225 00:56:12,200 --> 00:56:12,520 Speaker 8: for him? 1226 00:56:13,560 --> 00:56:13,799 Speaker 3: Yeah? 1227 00:56:13,880 --> 00:56:14,759 Speaker 22: I think, I mean, I think so. 1228 00:56:14,920 --> 00:56:17,000 Speaker 21: We We've probably done a little bit more team stuff. 1229 00:56:17,640 --> 00:56:19,600 Speaker 21: We're gonna hit another team field goal period today with 1230 00:56:19,680 --> 00:56:22,239 Speaker 21: both guys. But I kind of wanted to just get 1231 00:56:22,360 --> 00:56:24,800 Speaker 21: him a little bit more involved in the team setting. 1232 00:56:26,360 --> 00:56:28,799 Speaker 21: So I think that I think that'll ultimately will help. 1233 00:56:28,960 --> 00:56:31,080 Speaker 5: Do you consider him with somebody in the competition right now? 1234 00:56:31,880 --> 00:56:35,560 Speaker 21: Everybody's in competition. Everybody's in competition. That's why we have 1235 00:56:36,560 --> 00:56:39,200 Speaker 21: all these numbers at every single position. So I think 1236 00:56:39,280 --> 00:56:43,120 Speaker 21: comp I mean everybody says this, but competition aut ultimately. 1237 00:56:42,840 --> 00:56:44,799 Speaker 22: Brings out the best in everybody. It really does. 1238 00:56:45,040 --> 00:56:48,359 Speaker 21: So when you're being pushed, you're probably gonna perform at 1239 00:56:48,360 --> 00:56:49,480 Speaker 21: a better at a higher level. 1240 00:56:51,920 --> 00:56:52,000 Speaker 6: Uh. 1241 00:56:52,280 --> 00:56:54,440 Speaker 22: Balance shaping say it again. 1242 00:56:54,360 --> 00:56:55,400 Speaker 5: How's a pot return? 1243 00:56:55,880 --> 00:56:57,719 Speaker 8: Balls? Shipping up? Good? 1244 00:56:58,000 --> 00:56:58,200 Speaker 6: Good? 1245 00:56:58,320 --> 00:57:00,279 Speaker 21: We We've got an we I would say we have 1246 00:57:00,400 --> 00:57:02,719 Speaker 21: more ball handlers this year than we've had in the 1247 00:57:02,840 --> 00:57:04,880 Speaker 21: last two years. We've we've got some young guys that 1248 00:57:04,920 --> 00:57:08,160 Speaker 21: we're gonna look at this upcoming week. Uh Luke will 1249 00:57:08,200 --> 00:57:10,279 Speaker 21: get some time back there. Kayden Davis will get some 1250 00:57:10,360 --> 00:57:11,000 Speaker 21: time back there. 1251 00:57:11,800 --> 00:57:11,920 Speaker 9: Uh. 1252 00:57:12,120 --> 00:57:14,279 Speaker 22: So excited about the group we're working with. 1253 00:57:14,880 --> 00:57:20,840 Speaker 14: Basically between those two guys that we see the return feelings. 1254 00:57:20,120 --> 00:57:23,400 Speaker 5: All the time, it's basically between those two guys. 1255 00:57:24,000 --> 00:57:26,440 Speaker 22: Well, you've got DC too, I mean, DC is the 1256 00:57:26,520 --> 00:57:27,000 Speaker 22: main guy. 1257 00:57:27,520 --> 00:57:30,880 Speaker 21: So those young guys, we wanna see what they can 1258 00:57:30,920 --> 00:57:32,760 Speaker 21: do and and they're gonna both play in the game and. 1259 00:57:32,760 --> 00:57:40,400 Speaker 22: Get reps what He's got a good little skill set. 1260 00:57:40,480 --> 00:57:42,400 Speaker 21: He's a little bit shorter than me, so I don't 1261 00:57:42,440 --> 00:57:45,200 Speaker 21: know if that's a that's a uh to his advantage, 1262 00:57:45,240 --> 00:57:48,720 Speaker 21: but he's tough. He's got definitely got a really good 1263 00:57:48,720 --> 00:57:50,960 Speaker 21: short area quickness. He's got a pretty good feel for 1264 00:57:51,920 --> 00:57:55,560 Speaker 21: the techniques that we're trying to do. He's a tough kid. 1265 00:57:56,120 --> 00:57:58,760 Speaker 21: So excited to see him play in the in the 1266 00:57:58,920 --> 00:58:00,960 Speaker 21: in the practice today, and then obviously in the game. 1267 00:58:01,400 --> 00:58:02,240 Speaker 7: In terms of kick. 1268 00:58:02,280 --> 00:58:05,240 Speaker 12: Returns, you think we'll see more of the bounce kicks 1269 00:58:05,280 --> 00:58:07,880 Speaker 12: this year in the landing area because that's when the. 1270 00:58:07,920 --> 00:58:11,280 Speaker 22: Point of engagement can be Unfortunately, Yeah, I do. 1271 00:58:13,280 --> 00:58:16,560 Speaker 21: I wanted to push the the ball being short of 1272 00:58:16,600 --> 00:58:19,840 Speaker 21: the landing zone to the fifty or the forty five, 1273 00:58:20,080 --> 00:58:21,760 Speaker 21: and it's gonna stay at the forty for now. 1274 00:58:21,920 --> 00:58:22,320 Speaker 22: At least. 1275 00:58:23,200 --> 00:58:24,840 Speaker 21: I think that there's a chance that the play could 1276 00:58:24,880 --> 00:58:27,440 Speaker 21: get messy. I'm hoping that that's not the case, but 1277 00:58:28,400 --> 00:58:31,240 Speaker 21: I think that if the touchback goes to the thirty 1278 00:58:31,240 --> 00:58:33,880 Speaker 21: five talked about this in the spring. If the touchback 1279 00:58:33,920 --> 00:58:36,200 Speaker 21: goes to the thirty five yard line and the ball 1280 00:58:36,280 --> 00:58:38,960 Speaker 21: goes out of bounds, right, the ball goes to the 1281 00:58:39,040 --> 00:58:43,440 Speaker 21: forty So you're only losing five yards there. So is 1282 00:58:43,520 --> 00:58:45,600 Speaker 21: it advantageous to put the ball on the ground and 1283 00:58:45,720 --> 00:58:48,960 Speaker 21: have a and have a potentially a better coverage play. 1284 00:58:49,040 --> 00:58:50,040 Speaker 9: Yeah, but. 1285 00:58:52,120 --> 00:58:54,000 Speaker 22: It could go either way. I'm hoping that it doesn't 1286 00:58:54,040 --> 00:58:54,480 Speaker 22: go that way. 1287 00:58:54,800 --> 00:58:57,000 Speaker 5: But what do you see out of Carson Switzer? 1288 00:58:57,080 --> 00:58:58,840 Speaker 2: Jer And it looked like we were watching that one 1289 00:58:58,920 --> 00:59:00,480 Speaker 2: drill last week kind of find. 1290 00:59:00,320 --> 00:59:00,959 Speaker 9: Of the end zone. 1291 00:59:01,080 --> 00:59:03,000 Speaker 22: Yeah, it looked like he had a couple of really 1292 00:59:03,000 --> 00:59:03,520 Speaker 22: good reps. 1293 00:59:03,800 --> 00:59:08,320 Speaker 21: Yeah, he's just a he's a super super smart kid. 1294 00:59:09,200 --> 00:59:11,080 Speaker 21: I mean, when I evaluated him. I was like, the 1295 00:59:11,160 --> 00:59:13,240 Speaker 21: first thing that pops off the tape is he's so 1296 00:59:13,440 --> 00:59:16,200 Speaker 21: instinctive and he just finds his way and has a 1297 00:59:16,280 --> 00:59:20,440 Speaker 21: knack to get to the ball, really good at shedding blocks. 1298 00:59:20,760 --> 00:59:23,640 Speaker 22: He reads it out fast, he triggers faster than most. 1299 00:59:25,160 --> 00:59:25,640 Speaker 22: Love the kid. 1300 00:59:25,720 --> 00:59:28,520 Speaker 21: He's tough, He's got good size and length, so that 1301 00:59:28,680 --> 00:59:32,440 Speaker 21: shows up a lot. And he's he's fast. I mean 1302 00:59:32,520 --> 00:59:38,000 Speaker 21: he can he covers ground, very very into everything that 1303 00:59:38,080 --> 00:59:39,720 Speaker 21: we're doing and open to do everything. 1304 00:59:39,880 --> 00:59:42,160 Speaker 8: So were you able to kind of you. 1305 00:59:42,200 --> 00:59:44,520 Speaker 11: Know, I don't know how much you watched the you know, 1306 00:59:44,640 --> 00:59:46,680 Speaker 11: the Hall of Fame game and just yeah, I watched 1307 00:59:46,680 --> 00:59:49,360 Speaker 11: the whole thing. How much just kind of knee jerk reactions. 1308 00:59:49,400 --> 00:59:51,960 Speaker 11: Were you able to kind of get initial reaction takeaways? 1309 00:59:52,080 --> 00:59:56,000 Speaker 11: Were you able to get from the adjusted kickoff watching 1310 00:59:56,080 --> 00:59:58,440 Speaker 11: it there and how they those two teams did it. 1311 00:59:58,880 --> 01:00:00,720 Speaker 5: Obviously you're gonna get more or data. 1312 01:00:00,680 --> 01:00:05,640 Speaker 21: But just the data, yeah, there wasn't much, I would 1313 01:00:05,640 --> 01:00:07,800 Speaker 21: say relative to the play in general, there wasn't a 1314 01:00:07,880 --> 01:00:10,640 Speaker 21: ton of difference from what we saw last year with 1315 01:00:10,800 --> 01:00:14,800 Speaker 21: the play. You're always using those early games in camp 1316 01:00:14,880 --> 01:00:17,880 Speaker 21: to be able to show your players and use those 1317 01:00:17,920 --> 01:00:21,800 Speaker 21: as examples on good technique, bad technique. Okay, this is 1318 01:00:21,840 --> 01:00:24,080 Speaker 21: a good run, this is a good play. You know, 1319 01:00:24,200 --> 01:00:26,720 Speaker 21: you saw the muff by one of the returners, Like, 1320 01:00:26,840 --> 01:00:29,360 Speaker 21: we obviously don't want to do that, things like that 1321 01:00:29,520 --> 01:00:31,680 Speaker 21: to be able to correct. So I think that there's 1322 01:00:31,680 --> 01:00:33,960 Speaker 21: a lot of things you can take from, especially the 1323 01:00:34,040 --> 01:00:35,640 Speaker 21: early games in training camp where you have a lot 1324 01:00:35,720 --> 01:00:37,880 Speaker 21: where there's a lot of young players on the field. 1325 01:00:38,200 --> 01:00:44,320 Speaker 2: So it was a Anthony Kendall ack guy that you'd 1326 01:00:44,360 --> 01:00:46,760 Speaker 2: always kept an eye on as a potential like. 1327 01:00:46,960 --> 01:00:51,320 Speaker 21: Key, Yeah, he had a he had a productive rookie 1328 01:00:51,360 --> 01:00:55,840 Speaker 21: season in Tennessee. Obviously, Raves was here last year. Ravees 1329 01:00:55,960 --> 01:00:58,520 Speaker 21: liked them enough to keep him on that roster. He 1330 01:00:58,600 --> 01:01:03,040 Speaker 21: got nicked up last year, so yeah, he's been He's 1331 01:01:03,080 --> 01:01:06,000 Speaker 21: been a factor at the gunner position. He's fast, he's 1332 01:01:06,040 --> 01:01:09,040 Speaker 21: got some toughness. So yeah, he was a guy. He 1333 01:01:09,120 --> 01:01:10,840 Speaker 21: was a guy that we looked at whenever he was 1334 01:01:11,200 --> 01:01:12,400 Speaker 21: coming out of college. 1335 01:01:12,840 --> 01:01:16,400 Speaker 1: Finally, head coach Kevin Stefanski talks about Hall of Famer 1336 01:01:16,560 --> 01:01:19,520 Speaker 1: Joe Thomas helping out the offensive line this week. 1337 01:01:19,840 --> 01:01:22,840 Speaker 15: Okay, last day of open practice, so you know we're 1338 01:01:22,840 --> 01:01:26,160 Speaker 15: gonna miss our fans, but they've been terrific all camp. 1339 01:01:26,200 --> 01:01:28,960 Speaker 15: It's our guys get a tremendous amount of juice from 1340 01:01:29,040 --> 01:01:32,000 Speaker 15: our fans.

You know, 1456 01:06:22,080 --> 01:06:24,520 Speaker 15: part of it for all quarterbacks is just keeping your 1457 01:06:24,600 --> 01:06:26,480 Speaker 15: arm loose and he'll he'll do a good job. 1458 01:06:26,680 --> 01:06:29,000 Speaker 11: Is that part of adjusting to you know, from college 1459 01:06:29,040 --> 01:06:31,880 Speaker 11: to pro there's something maybe that you know, the timetable 1460 01:06:31,920 --> 01:06:33,240 Speaker 11: and everything for a rookie to happen. 1461 01:06:33,360 --> 01:06:35,360 Speaker 15: I think there's so many adjustments that these guys are 1462 01:06:36,040 --> 01:06:39,000 Speaker 15: tackling every single day. And yeah, of course getting your 1463 01:06:39,040 --> 01:06:42,000 Speaker 15: body ready, knowing what your body needs. You know, we 1464 01:06:42,080 --> 01:06:44,280 Speaker 15: have a lot of these practices in a row, so 1465 01:06:44,440 --> 01:06:46,800 Speaker 15: you have to be smart about making sure you're ready 1466 01:06:46,840 --> 01:06:47,040 Speaker 15: to roll. 1467 01:06:47,160 --> 01:06:50,000 Speaker 14: Kevin Dylan in the hamstring, was it something where you've 1468 01:06:50,040 --> 01:06:52,720 Speaker 14: heard it on a specific player just came in today? 1469 01:06:53,360 --> 01:06:57,600 Speaker 15: No, he reported this was on Saturday, So happened on Saturday, 1470 01:06:57,640 --> 01:06:59,440 Speaker 15: and he's getting treatment on it and you'll see he'll 1471 01:06:59,480 --> 01:06:59,800 Speaker 15: be out. 1472 01:06:59,720 --> 01:07:01,840 Speaker 9: Here just a little bit of tightness. 1473 01:07:01,840 --> 01:07:04,760 Speaker 19: I guess when it comes to evaluation and these joint 1474 01:07:04,800 --> 01:07:07,280 Speaker 19: practices first three season games, do you feet more value 1475 01:07:07,560 --> 01:07:09,680 Speaker 19: and like the joint practices and what happens in. 1476 01:07:09,720 --> 01:07:12,760 Speaker 8: This you know, it's a good question. 1477 01:07:12,880 --> 01:07:13,000 Speaker 10: Dan. 1478 01:07:13,440 --> 01:07:16,120 Speaker 15: I feel like there's value in everything in what we're 1479 01:07:16,840 --> 01:07:19,960 Speaker 15: seeing from the guys that we value their how they 1480 01:07:20,120 --> 01:07:21,680 Speaker 15: do in the meeting room, we value how they are 1481 01:07:21,720 --> 01:07:24,560 Speaker 15: in the walkthrough. Like I mentioned earlier, we value all 1482 01:07:24,640 --> 01:07:27,520 Speaker 15: these practice reps. Of course, when you're going up against 1483 01:07:27,640 --> 01:07:31,240 Speaker 15: another team and it's a setting where maybe you don't 1484 01:07:31,280 --> 01:07:32,920 Speaker 15: know exactly what the defense is gonna do or the 1485 01:07:32,960 --> 01:07:35,400 Speaker 15: offense is gonna do, I think there's certainly value created 1486 01:07:35,440 --> 01:07:35,640 Speaker 15: in that. 1487 01:07:36,280 --> 01:07:39,080 Speaker 8: And then in the preseason games, like I. 1488 01:07:39,120 --> 01:07:42,080 Speaker 15: Mentioned before, they're keeping score, so the competitive part of 1489 01:07:42,200 --> 01:07:44,280 Speaker 15: our sport kicks in, and you want to obviously do 1490 01:07:44,400 --> 01:07:46,000 Speaker 15: well in those venues as. 1491 01:07:45,880 --> 01:07:49,560 Speaker 2: Well, when you know you and the staff talking a 1492 01:07:49,600 --> 01:07:50,080 Speaker 2: lot about the. 1493 01:07:50,400 --> 01:07:52,760 Speaker 14: Processes and being really happy with what you're seeing in 1494 01:07:52,880 --> 01:07:55,600 Speaker 14: that regard. So like, at what point during campus is 1495 01:07:55,680 --> 01:07:56,840 Speaker 14: these joint practices? 1496 01:07:57,240 --> 01:07:57,400 Speaker 17: Is it? 1497 01:07:57,760 --> 01:08:00,240 Speaker 14: You know, when the preseason's winding down, what do you 1498 01:08:00,440 --> 01:08:03,120 Speaker 14: focus on resources over the process. 1499 01:08:06,680 --> 01:08:10,240 Speaker 15: Well, I mean, ultimately, this is a results business. That 1500 01:08:10,560 --> 01:08:14,480 Speaker 15: this game is about results. We know that, But I 1501 01:08:14,560 --> 01:08:17,519 Speaker 15: think you're doing yourself a disservice if you're not hyper 1502 01:08:17,600 --> 01:08:20,559 Speaker 15: focused on your process as a player, as a coach, 1503 01:08:21,880 --> 01:08:24,920 Speaker 15: whether you have success in a given play or not, 1504 01:08:25,320 --> 01:08:27,120 Speaker 15: are you learning from that play? I mean, that's that 1505 01:08:27,200 --> 01:08:30,800 Speaker 15: all speaks to the process that allows you to play 1506 01:08:30,840 --> 01:08:31,679 Speaker 15: well on Sundays. 1507 01:08:31,720 --> 01:08:33,320 Speaker 8: I mean, that's that's the ultimate goal. 1508 01:08:33,439 --> 01:08:37,280 Speaker 15: But we're pretty process driven, and that another way of 1509 01:08:37,320 --> 01:08:40,040 Speaker 15: saying that is we take practice very seriously. We take 1510 01:08:40,680 --> 01:08:43,280 Speaker 15: the work we do in the building very seriously, and 1511 01:08:43,360 --> 01:08:45,760 Speaker 15: that all adds up to putting yourself in position to 1512 01:08:45,760 --> 01:08:46,439 Speaker 15: play good football. 1513 01:08:46,560 --> 01:08:47,759 Speaker 8: Kein Injuries are parted. 1514 01:08:47,800 --> 01:08:50,920 Speaker 18: It is, and I know that's another quarterback can summer 1515 01:08:51,000 --> 01:08:53,920 Speaker 18: of minor week here in the air. But how much 1516 01:08:53,920 --> 01:08:57,360 Speaker 18: does that hurt maybe you're processing of developing it in 1517 01:08:57,680 --> 01:08:58,880 Speaker 18: the play, if at all it is. 1518 01:08:58,840 --> 01:08:59,519 Speaker 9: It frustrating you? 1519 01:09:00,200 --> 01:09:02,160 Speaker 8: No, injuries are a part of this game. 1520 01:09:02,360 --> 01:09:04,920 Speaker 15: They're frustrating from the standpoint of when you lose a 1521 01:09:04,960 --> 01:09:07,400 Speaker 15: guy for a good amount of time, you feel that 1522 01:09:07,560 --> 01:09:09,000 Speaker 15: that's tough on the players. 1523 01:09:09,080 --> 01:09:13,120 Speaker 8: But the dealing with injuries, adjusting his injuries, that's just. 1524 01:09:13,160 --> 01:09:13,599 Speaker 9: Part of the game. 1525 01:09:13,760 --> 01:09:17,360 Speaker 5: So why did you schedule first week joint practice this year? 1526 01:09:17,400 --> 01:09:18,200 Speaker 9: As close to a. 1527 01:09:18,960 --> 01:09:21,160 Speaker 15: Yeah, I think every year, Tony just looking at our 1528 01:09:21,880 --> 01:09:24,760 Speaker 15: steal that word again, process, what we can do better, 1529 01:09:24,880 --> 01:09:25,880 Speaker 15: what other teams are doing? 1530 01:09:26,400 --> 01:09:26,519 Speaker 21: Uh? 1531 01:09:26,960 --> 01:09:30,760 Speaker 15: Is there an opportunity to do something? So I can 1532 01:09:31,040 --> 01:09:33,000 Speaker 15: you know, I'll talk while I'm down there. But my 1533 01:09:33,120 --> 01:09:36,479 Speaker 15: relationship with coach Canalis, Well, you know, our relationship among 1534 01:09:36,560 --> 01:09:40,080 Speaker 15: the staff, like the scheme that they run on both 1535 01:09:40,120 --> 01:09:41,920 Speaker 15: sides of the ball will be good for our team. 1536 01:09:42,320 --> 01:09:44,439 Speaker 8: So there's a lot of positives to going down there. 1537 01:09:46,520 --> 01:09:50,240 Speaker 12: Kind duve tabling off what Dan astre in a way, 1538 01:09:50,320 --> 01:09:52,360 Speaker 12: preseason it's a bold Are. 1539 01:09:52,360 --> 01:09:55,880 Speaker 8: The joint workouts more beneficial to together? It's where the 1540 01:09:56,000 --> 01:09:58,160 Speaker 8: games are more beneficial for the rookies and what. 1541 01:09:58,200 --> 01:09:59,639 Speaker 9: They can do on the flying or anything. 1542 01:10:00,400 --> 01:10:04,080 Speaker 15: Yeah, I'd say in some ways yes, the preseason games, 1543 01:10:05,800 --> 01:10:09,120 Speaker 15: you know, are are great because they're they're opportunities in 1544 01:10:09,240 --> 01:10:13,760 Speaker 15: a controlled environment for your players. Now, there's some teams 1545 01:10:13,800 --> 01:10:15,720 Speaker 15: that don't play their starters at all in the preseason 1546 01:10:16,479 --> 01:10:18,559 Speaker 15: and that's what they think is best for their team 1547 01:10:18,960 --> 01:10:22,400 Speaker 15: in that given moment. And think about you know, quarterbacks 1548 01:10:22,439 --> 01:10:24,360 Speaker 15: that play in the preseason. You're you're obviously not wearing 1549 01:10:24,400 --> 01:10:27,320 Speaker 15: a red jersey, so you're free game in those situations, 1550 01:10:27,360 --> 01:10:30,519 Speaker 15: whereas you're not in practice and or a joint practice 1551 01:10:31,200 --> 01:10:33,200 Speaker 15: with another team. So I think those are all things 1552 01:10:33,240 --> 01:10:35,320 Speaker 15: that we weigh as coaches trying to figure out what 1553 01:10:35,439 --> 01:10:38,720 Speaker 15: our team needs for a given season, for a given week. 1554 01:10:38,840 --> 01:10:41,320 Speaker 20: So when you say you will hold out some guys 1555 01:10:41,400 --> 01:10:44,240 Speaker 20: for the game that needs some guys will play any 1556 01:10:44,360 --> 01:10:45,720 Speaker 20: regular Yes. 1557 01:10:46,240 --> 01:10:50,600 Speaker 13: Coach Bloom was talking about Potonio last week, saying checks loddops. 1558 01:10:50,240 --> 01:10:52,840 Speaker 8: Or future Hall of Fame a game of the season. 1559 01:10:52,920 --> 01:10:55,479 Speaker 5: Would you say about what makes sure we're. 1560 01:10:55,360 --> 01:10:58,760 Speaker 8: That kind of player playing? Yeah, I think Joel's a 1561 01:10:58,800 --> 01:10:59,360 Speaker 8: Hall of Famer. 1562 01:10:59,760 --> 01:11:02,280 Speaker 15: I've been blessed to be around the Hall of famers 1563 01:11:02,560 --> 01:11:05,800 Speaker 15: uh a, and he fits the mold.

I think you talk to 1567 01:11:13,640 --> 01:11:16,519 Speaker 15: the players around this league, and they know what Joel's about. 1568 01:11:16,640 --> 01:11:19,680 Speaker 15: Now that's the player. The person off the field is 1569 01:11:19,760 --> 01:11:22,040 Speaker 15: a Hall of Fame person. And I rely heavily on 1570 01:11:22,200 --> 01:11:25,479 Speaker 15: Joel uh really almost every day for his input and 1571 01:11:25,600 --> 01:11:27,640 Speaker 15: his thoughts on where we are as a team, what 1572 01:11:27,720 --> 01:11:29,880 Speaker 15: we need to be doing, what what you know, just 1573 01:11:29,960 --> 01:11:32,920 Speaker 15: getting a feel for him and his teammates.

When you're 1586 01:12:05,520 --> 01:12:07,240 Speaker 15: talking about a Hall of famer, well, Gregor bet you 1587 01:12:07,360 --> 01:12:09,760 Speaker 15: today he's still working through. 1588 01:12:09,960 --> 01:12:12,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, but again better in Dylan is talking about the 1589 01:12:12,280 --> 01:12:15,000 Speaker 2: ups and downs that or natural any training camp. 1590 01:12:14,880 --> 01:12:16,240 Speaker 9: And probably especially for a rookie. 1591 01:12:16,479 --> 01:12:18,400 Speaker 8: How have you seen him kind of handle. 1592 01:12:18,200 --> 01:12:19,000 Speaker 9: Those abs and shows? 1593 01:12:19,240 --> 01:12:22,719 Speaker 15: Yeah, I think all these rookies, like you mentioned Scott 1594 01:12:23,200 --> 01:12:26,240 Speaker 15: and certainly quarterbacks, there's plays that are set up for 1595 01:12:26,360 --> 01:12:28,040 Speaker 15: you and you let it rip and it's there. There's 1596 01:12:28,080 --> 01:12:31,280 Speaker 15: times that things aren't there, and and I think the 1597 01:12:31,360 --> 01:12:33,519 Speaker 15: big thing is learning from every single one of those reps. 1598 01:12:33,560 --> 01:12:36,280 Speaker 15: Like I can think of certain reps where you gotta 1599 01:12:36,320 --> 01:12:37,640 Speaker 15: move in the pocket and you gotta run out of 1600 01:12:37,640 --> 01:12:39,599 Speaker 15: the pocket. You gotta go scramble and get as much 1601 01:12:39,600 --> 01:12:41,080 Speaker 15: as we can get and get down. 1602 01:12:40,960 --> 01:12:42,400 Speaker 8: And protect yourself. That's real football. 1603 01:12:42,840 --> 01:12:44,840 Speaker 15: So we're trying as hard as we can to mimic 1604 01:12:44,920 --> 01:12:47,320 Speaker 15: that in these settings and and know that you're gonna 1605 01:12:47,360 --> 01:12:51,040 Speaker 15: have some plays that you want back, but the bottom lines. 1606 01:12:50,800 --> 01:12:52,200 Speaker 8: You have to learn from those plays. I think he's 1607 01:12:52,240 --> 01:12:54,479 Speaker 8: doing that with tweaks to some of the other guys. 1608 01:12:54,560 --> 01:12:56,559 Speaker 4: Do you think you might have to play Joe placke of. 1609 01:12:56,600 --> 01:12:57,280 Speaker 8: The game into you. 1610 01:12:58,479 --> 01:13:03,000 Speaker 15: I'll wait to discuss those type of things later, Mary Kay, 1611 01:13:03,080 --> 01:13:06,360 Speaker 15: but yeah, Joe's ready to go for Neo. 1612 01:13:06,680 --> 01:13:09,800 Speaker 1: That does it for today's From the Podium podcast.
