1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,159
Speaker 1: Hey, before we get started with the question to answer session. Um,

2
00:00:03,320 --> 00:00:04,960
Speaker 1: first off, I just want to lead off with just

3
00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:08,640
Speaker 1: letting everybody know we talked a little bit as a team,

4
00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:12,119
Speaker 1: not in a full stuff squad compact yet, but you know,

5
00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:14,440
Speaker 1: our thoughts and prayers go out to Ron River and

6
00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:17,160
Speaker 1: his family. You know, this is obviously we compete against

7
00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:20,320
Speaker 1: each other on a weekly basis, their rivalries within a division.

8
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:22,320
Speaker 1: When you hear news like this, you're all on the

9
00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:24,400
Speaker 1: same team and we all really truly pull for each other.

10
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:26,720
Speaker 1: I've been on the phone with several other head coaches

11
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:28,920
Speaker 1: just this morning, and I know everyone has the same

12
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:30,880
Speaker 1: sentiments as may. I'll let them speak for themselves, but

13
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:32,640
Speaker 1: you know this time I want to, you know, send

14
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:35,000
Speaker 1: our prayers and thoughts to him and his family. You know,

15
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:37,280
Speaker 1: I look forward to seeing him this fall in the field,

16
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:40,640
Speaker 1: competing and getting well. Uh. As far as the scrimmage

17
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:42,800
Speaker 1: today went, listen, we were able to build in a

18
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 1: lot of situational work. Were literally get a lot of

19
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:47,239
Speaker 1: live work, which the guys really needed, you know, as

20
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:50,080
Speaker 1: far as wrapping up tackling, going to the ground, feeling

21
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:52,960
Speaker 1: the contact block and getting good lives pass rushes and

22
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:56,040
Speaker 1: eleven eleven on situations. We got a good bit of

23
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 1: volume for the players. Uh, they were able to handle it.

24
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 1: Their conditionings improving. They came out with good effort energy

25
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 1: that was very pleasing. Uh. You know, next week we'll

26
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 1: kind of kick it back up with the goal of

27
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,840
Speaker 1: building into an inter squad game on Friday. So we'll

28
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 1: get back talk with the trainers, talk with the strength coaches,

29
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 1: look at the vine we've had the players this first week,

30
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:17,480
Speaker 1: which we pushed them through a lot, and we'll see

31
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:20,039
Speaker 1: how the structure next week's practice accordingly to make sure

32
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:21,400
Speaker 1: that we can go ahead and lead up the next

33
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 1: Friday's game. So with that will open up any questions yet.

34
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:29,320
Speaker 1: Jordan's hey, Joe, what did you what did you think

35
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:33,560
Speaker 1: of your first team offensor? You know, thanks and Daniel

36
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:36,680
Speaker 1: in specific, Well, I thought everyone came out to compete today,

37
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 1: you know, and uh listen, there were some times right

38
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 1: there that you know, they played better or not. I

39
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 1: thought they ended the day on a high note with

40
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 1: some good drives going down the field. You know, there's

41
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 1: always some things you have to clean up. To me,

42
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 1: it's about you know, the things we can control. But

43
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 1: for a first day of really going out there in

44
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 1: a live situation. I'm just calling plays and running plays.

45
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 1: I was pleased with the effort today. I was pleased

46
00:01:57,480 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 1: with the urgency. There's a lot of things with the

47
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 1: cleanup going forward. I gotta look at the tape tape

48
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 1: specifically what all those are. I want to go ahead

49
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 1: and this speak till I watched it on videotape um.

50
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 1: But overalls pleased with the way they came out to work.

51
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,799
Speaker 1: To just subscribe to the theory that in Nice and

52
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:12,080
Speaker 1: his situations, a lot of times the defense is ahead

53
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 1: of the offense when you when you first start doing

54
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 1: you know, real life action. You know what Jordan's coming

55
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 1: back and forth every day, it really has. It's going

56
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,359
Speaker 1: back and forth. When you play a a common opponent,

57
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:24,640
Speaker 1: which is in our squad right now, you get a

58
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 1: tendency and lean on your own teammates, you know, you

59
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 1: get a better view throughout the week, and with the

60
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 1: offense is installing. You know, obviously our offense ran place

61
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 1: today that they installed throughout the week. Our defense saw

62
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 1: a lot of these. They weren't carbon copies of what

63
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 1: they saw in practice, but different versions of them. You know,

64
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 1: So defensively, our guys have done their homework. They stayed

65
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 1: ahead a little bit. Obviously, they studied and they knew

66
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 1: it to expect in certain situations. You know, coming forward,

67
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 1: how impressive was it to see Dornay Holmes a rookie,

68
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 1: this is really his first glimpse of as close to

69
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 1: a live NFL actions you're gonna see uh come out

70
00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:58,919
Speaker 1: and be as disruptive as he was. He had a

71
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 1: nice interception down there of the gold line. Just how

72
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 1: impressed were you with what you saw from him today?

73
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 1: You know, he's a real competitive guy, comes to work

74
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:07,519
Speaker 1: every day with a full head of steam. He's very attentive,

75
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:09,919
Speaker 1: So I'm not surprised to seem a proven day by day.

76
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:11,919
Speaker 1: As pleased with the way he played today. I'm sure

77
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:13,520
Speaker 1: there's things he's gotta clean up. I got a couple

78
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 1: of things on the top of my mind right now,

79
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:16,800
Speaker 1: like we do with every player in the team. But

80
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 1: I was pleased with the way he came out competed today.

81
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:21,800
Speaker 1: Along those lines, Also, you said that this was kind

82
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 1: of a test of the communication between the coaches and

83
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:26,359
Speaker 1: calling plays in how do you think that went with

84
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:29,359
Speaker 1: Patrick Graham and the defense? I thought it went well.

85
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:31,080
Speaker 1: I thought it went well. You know, we didn't have

86
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 1: any personnel issues on the day as far as getting

87
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 1: guys on off the field. There were a lot of

88
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 1: situations that were involved. They have to match the offensive

89
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 1: personnel based on down and distance, you know, operating fully

90
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 1: from the sideline. Today, I thought the coaching staff did well.

91
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 1: We gotta remember this was really the first time this

92
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 1: coaching staff on either side of the ball have worked

93
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 1: together in this kind of situation, so there's a lot

94
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 1: of communication as coaches we have to work out as well.

95
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 1: I'd say the element that was kind of left out

96
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 1: of it today was myself to Pat Jason and Team

97
00:03:57,600 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 1: macause I kind of set back today and I really

98
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 1: wanted to observe and watched the players up close, and

99
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 1: I wanted to hear the play being called in the huddle.

100
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 1: I want to see the demeanor of the players up close.

101
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 1: I want to watch they competed throughout the game. Or

102
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 1: scrimagers to say, Dougan, hey, Joe, I know you're evaluating everything,

103
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:16,600
Speaker 1: but to these scrimmages, did they carry a little bit

104
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:18,360
Speaker 1: more weight? And just along those lines, if you want

105
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 1: to share, did anybody jump out to you you know

106
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 1: what I'm gonna wait till I watched the tape, damn

107
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 1: before I go ahead. But I was pleased the way

108
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 1: everyone came out work tonight. I would say every day

109
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 1: is important. Everything is evaluated then. But a day like today,

110
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 1: when you tell the team, hey, listen, we're going out there.

111
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 1: It's live situation football or calm plays you practice, we're

112
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 1: putting in calls situation. We worked on defense and play ball,

113
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 1: and you want to see how guys performing these situations.

114
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 1: Because this is the closest simulation we can have to

115
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 1: a game. You know, if you put a kind of

116
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:49,280
Speaker 1: in context what we're doing today, this would have roughly

117
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 1: been equivalent to a competitive practice against an opponent leading

118
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 1: in the preseason game one today, So this would have

119
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:57,039
Speaker 1: been a similar setup we would have with a common

120
00:04:57,080 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 1: opponent and leading into the game. Next we've to flip

121
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:01,840
Speaker 1: around and kind of get more in a true game

122
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:04,840
Speaker 1: mode and almost try to replicate that preseason game three.

123
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 1: So obviously it's a fast forward version of training camp,

124
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:09,160
Speaker 1: but we're trying to make sure we acculmate the players

125
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 1: accordingly and build into it they can do it, you know,

126
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 1: effectively and safe. And then we didn't see McKinney, Connolly

127
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 1: and Coleman today, any update them where those guys are?

128
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:21,600
Speaker 1: You know what, we just thought they had a really

129
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 1: strong load and we're looking really building the next Friday.

130
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 1: So based on what they did the rest of the week,

131
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:28,039
Speaker 1: and those guys carried a heavy load for the team

132
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 1: throughout practices, we thought it was best to just go

133
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 1: ahead and rest them. We worked several other players throughout

134
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,919
Speaker 1: the practice as needed by certain periods. And to be honestly,

135
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:37,599
Speaker 1: there's a lot of young players we had to see

136
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:39,360
Speaker 1: to things. You know, we have to think of context

137
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 1: of Again, we didn't have preseason Game one this year

138
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 1: where you see a lot of young guys get out

139
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,040
Speaker 1: there and show you how they compete. Today in essence

140
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 1: for us was a lot of preseason game one to

141
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 1: see how guys get on the field, compete, what kind

142
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:54,160
Speaker 1: of impression they can leave us with. Thanks Kad Leonard,

143
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 1: Hey Joe, were you pleased after the holmes Is interception

144
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:01,680
Speaker 1: to see Andrew thom has finished the play like that

145
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 1: and knocked the ball out. And then about the corners

146
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:08,839
Speaker 1: to Julian Love Bradberry Holmes, it seemed like your corners

147
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 1: had their hands on the ball today. Was that also

148
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:14,719
Speaker 1: something that please you? It was definitely something. Look, you

149
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 1: want your defense to be ball hawks and flying around

150
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:18,480
Speaker 1: all the time. Those guys have been doing a really

151
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 1: good job this week of working and improving. You know. Again,

152
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:23,719
Speaker 1: it goes back and forth. Sometimes you turn on you know,

153
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 1: offensive drills and their own and the defense to that

154
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:28,280
Speaker 1: and turn on the defenses winning. But it was good

155
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:30,159
Speaker 1: today to see him out in the kind of situation

156
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,279
Speaker 1: of not only applying what we're calling. What we're calling

157
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 1: in the situation, you can't just call plays at first

158
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 1: and ten is the second and short a second long,

159
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 1: you know, what's the third down? Down and distance, what's

160
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:42,599
Speaker 1: personnel in the field. They gotta process a lot of

161
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:45,240
Speaker 1: information a short amount of time, and by doing that

162
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 1: they put themselves in the right position. I was very

163
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:49,480
Speaker 1: pleased with that and the answer on Andrews. Yeah, it's

164
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 1: very pleased to see our offensive line hustle in that situation.

165
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 1: That's what we preach right there in terms of looking

166
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 1: for the turnover, secure and the tackle. So it's good

167
00:06:57,440 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 1: to have things that you preach in the classroom show

168
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:01,719
Speaker 1: up on the field. Well, now, on the side, Darnay's

169
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 1: gonna get ripped for phone on the ball right, Sorry,

170
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:09,040
Speaker 1: sorry to interrupt you. There one other quick one. David

171
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 1: Sills had the ball in his hands a lot today.

172
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 1: Seems like he factored in a big time. Um. Can

173
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 1: he also help you on special teams? And is he

174
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 1: a guy who has shown you something through this offseason?

175
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 1: I know he's been in a lot of work with Tea,

176
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 1: Mac and Tom. You know, look, this guy busses, but

177
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 1: every day comes out. He's shown up a lot for

178
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 1: us alright on offense, he shows up in the kicking game.

179
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 1: You know, we're gonna get more competitively than the kicking

180
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 1: game situations this week as we practice them within the game,

181
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 1: So a lot of those positions will be kind of,

182
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 1: you know, more revealed as we go forward. But I'm

183
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 1: very pleased with how David comes out every day and works.

184
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:42,120
Speaker 1: It's no surprise he's making plays of me in productive

185
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 1: I want to ask you about want to ask you

186
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 1: about two guys similar to what patri at you about sales.

187
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 1: Two guys who keep flashing to me. Alex Backman seems

188
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 1: like he's always open and Javon Leak seemed like we

189
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 1: you know, we know about take Kwan Lowis, but Javon

190
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 1: Leak seems like he's given you a good depth at

191
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 1: running back. What have you seen from both of those guys?

192
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 1: You know what you know startling the league. I mean,

193
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 1: he's a guy who's really coming on right now. He's

194
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 1: feeling more comfortable in the system and the scheme. He's

195
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 1: doing a good job taking a coaching points from Burton

196
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 1: to the field. Uh. He's a guy that's very intune

197
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 1: in meetings, paying attention. You can see that with him.

198
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 1: So he's approved on a daily basis. And look, today's

199
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 1: the day where he had not him to go out

200
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 1: there and just play, and that's always how you want

201
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 1: to see it. He wanted to just play some ball,

202
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 1: made some plays for us. There's some things he's gotta

203
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 1: correct and clean up, and that's our focus is coach

204
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 1: is making sure we come back, make correction to push forward. Uh.

205
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:32,679
Speaker 1: You know. In terms of Bachman, again, very much like David,

206
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:34,440
Speaker 1: he's a guy that comes to work every day, works hard.

207
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 1: He's productive in drills, he's productive in team periods. It's

208
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:39,520
Speaker 1: no surprise to see him making plays. You know, we

209
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:41,560
Speaker 1: just gotta keep all those guys in the same rotation,

210
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:44,360
Speaker 1: give them chances to see ultimately who you know who

211
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:49,679
Speaker 1: can compete and help us win. Right, And Coach, you

212
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:53,080
Speaker 1: talked the other day about Daniel and the command that

213
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 1: he's showing up the offense where you pleased not necessarily

214
00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:00,120
Speaker 1: with what he completed and didn't complete today, but with

215
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 1: how he ran the offense and in the command he

216
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 1: had at the wine of scrimmage. Yeah, very much so.

217
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 1: And you know, if you guys saw me in the scrimmage,

218
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:09,199
Speaker 1: I was standing behind the huddle behind the offense the

219
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:11,800
Speaker 1: the entire time. And look the things you can't see

220
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:15,080
Speaker 1: on film. Are you know, the command you can't see

221
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 1: on film, The way he is in the huddle, you

222
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 1: can't see on film, the presence are players have at

223
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage. So that's where I was standing

224
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 1: where I am today to make sure that I could

225
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 1: really feel our guys out there in the field and

226
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 1: get a sense of how they are interacting with each other.

227
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 1: Who's really out there to dictate what's going on. I

228
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:32,280
Speaker 1: was very pleased with the tone. You know, he's sat

229
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:34,319
Speaker 1: in the hollow, he does it everyday practice, but he

230
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 1: was out there today in a competitive situation and really

231
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:39,720
Speaker 1: stepped up his good command situational He knows how to

232
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 1: use you know, some of the variety of calls and

233
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 1: checks with our offense. And I thought, you know, he

234
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 1: really showed up a lot on that you know, end

235
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 1: of the scrimmage that you know, no huddle situation we

236
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:51,319
Speaker 1: had right there, and I was very pleased to see

237
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 1: how command the entire team and kept up on moving

238
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 1: through the situation. Thank you. Last question here, Tom Rotten, Joe,

239
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:00,440
Speaker 1: I know you were asked to it did a little

240
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 1: bit about Love earlier. Um, just what if you've seen

241
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:06,199
Speaker 1: from him and is he a vastly different player than

242
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:08,880
Speaker 1: what you saw on film and maybe scouting him last

243
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 1: year coming into the league. I think all these guys

244
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:13,600
Speaker 1: who were young players last year improved. They're still young

245
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:15,960
Speaker 1: guys are improving every day. You know. He's a guy

246
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 1: who's really just felt more comfortable with in our system

247
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:20,440
Speaker 1: and scheme. There's just a learning curve. So you've seen

248
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:23,240
Speaker 1: him improved every day. He's getting more comfortable back there.

249
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:25,720
Speaker 1: He's been more vocal. That's important in his role as

250
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:27,559
Speaker 1: being a signal caller in the deep part of the field.

251
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 1: And he has the athletic ability that we're gonna play

252
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:31,680
Speaker 1: him in different variety of spots based on the matchup

253
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 1: you see him play up since the man covered. Sometimes

254
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:35,319
Speaker 1: a lot of times he's back in deep part of

255
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:37,840
Speaker 1: the field, So we're gonna move him around as needed

256
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 1: based on the situation. But to answer your question, overall,

257
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:43,080
Speaker 1: I see him approving every day. I'm not really concerned

258
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 1: about where he was last year, um concerning where he's

259
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:47,559
Speaker 1: gonna be, you know, in a couple of days, next week,

260
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:49,559
Speaker 1: a month from now, and I see him moving on

261
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 1: the right track in that direction. We talk a lot

262
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:54,440
Speaker 1: about how McKinney and Pepper's sort of play playoff of

263
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 1: each other. Is love really the key to allowing those

264
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 1: two to do what they do and and and to

265
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:03,600
Speaker 1: give them the flexibility. There's no one key on that time.

266
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 1: It really kind of based on the opponent, what you're

267
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:07,960
Speaker 1: trying to match and what the scheme you're calling right

268
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 1: there is. But you really need flexibility with your personnel

269
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:13,320
Speaker 1: in the secondary to be able to do different schemes.

270
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 1: And those guys right now have given us a lot

271
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:17,600
Speaker 1: of flexibility been able to use. We've got to keep

272
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:19,840
Speaker 1: bringing these young guys along. They've been working hard as well.

273
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:22,199
Speaker 1: Um but to give. They all play off each other

274
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:24,560
Speaker 1: with what they're doing. There's no one key in those

275
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:31,559
Speaker 1: three
