• 0:35
  Speaker 1: massive upgrade. Good afternoon, knocking John early.
• 0:40
  Speaker 4: It's good to see you, Bucky.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: See it's easier to talk when John's not in the room.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: It's perfect, that's fair.
• 0:45
  Speaker 4: Yes, we can talk about him when he's.
• 0:46
  Speaker 5: Not here, So we do.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: Buck, come on, hilarious, that's what it is. He'll do

• 0:55
  Speaker 1: we love John. Of course, uh plenty to get to today.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: Phase three, Bucky. Phase three is here. Actual football helmets
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: were on a man.
• 1:05
  Speaker 6: This is the fun part. We talked about OTA's with
• 1:08
  Speaker 6: one step closer to the ball being real, and this
• 1:11
  Speaker 6: gives us a chance to see some of the competitive drills,
• 1:14
  Speaker 6: we get a chance to track some of the completions,
• 1:16
  Speaker 6: look at some of the.
• 1:16
  Speaker 5: Depth chart stuff. This is the fun part. I'm getting excited.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I know you were tracking it yesterday.
• 1:22
  Speaker 7: Bucky's always excited. He can analyze it a little better
• 1:25
  Speaker 7: than I can. I'm just excited to see them doing
• 1:27
  Speaker 7: football like activities inside.
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: But whatever, it was well for us.
• 1:33
  Speaker 7: That was a blessing was it was full training camp
• 1:35
  Speaker 7: hot outside yesterday, so and it rained right before so
• 1:38
  Speaker 7: we were inside for most of it.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: It's just nice to see everybody together, right.
• 1:43
  Speaker 7: The rookies too, working now with the veterans to kind
• 1:45
  Speaker 7: of see how they learn. And I always like to
• 1:48
  Speaker 7: kind of watch the coaching staff as well, because this
• 1:50
  Speaker 7: coaching staff specifically, they get after him pretty good. So
• 1:54
  Speaker 7: they were yelling at some of the rookies yesterday. But
• 1:56
  Speaker 7: this is all part of the process and kind of
• 1:58
  Speaker 7: figuring out things as they go along.
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: We can't get into the details of who's playing where
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: and what, but it felt like there were seven million
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: tight ends making catches yesterday.
• 2:06
  Speaker 7: Yeah, and I feel like Brenton Strange was working with
• 2:08
  Speaker 7: the wide receivers at one point and we seem to
• 2:13
  Speaker 7: that's what we're projecting will be his kind of role
• 2:15
  Speaker 7: going forward. So seeing that kind of come to fruition
• 2:18
  Speaker 7: as always a nice little sneaky.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, these little things in the OTA's buck.
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: He kind of pop out from time to time and
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: maybe they're trying something and then they'll adjust as they
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: move along.
• 2:27
  Speaker 5: Yeah, no, but I think that's a notable development.
• 2:30
  Speaker 6: You talk about Brenton Strange working with the wide receivers
• 2:33
  Speaker 6: and part of his look when they took the two
• 2:35
  Speaker 6: tight ends. It was very controversial given the fact that
• 2:38
  Speaker 6: they took one in the second round, one that they
• 2:39
  Speaker 6: didn't think would be there, But it's part of what
• 2:43
  Speaker 6: I believe is the growth of this offense and the
• 2:45
  Speaker 6: expansion of this offense. Teams are trending towards using more
• 2:49
  Speaker 6: two and three tight end sets, whether it's twelve personnel
• 2:52
  Speaker 6: one back two tight ends or thirteen personnel with three
• 2:55
  Speaker 6: tight ends on the field.
• 2:57
  Speaker 5: It's a growing trend. It's one of the.
• 2:58
  Speaker 6: Trends to counter some of the things that defenses are doing.
• 3:01
  Speaker 6: And so when looking at the composition of the roster
• 3:04
  Speaker 6: and thinking about Bretton Strange and the skills that he brings,
• 3:07
  Speaker 6: having him work a little bit at wide receiver. Adds
• 3:10
  Speaker 6: some versatility to this offense where they can be multiple
• 3:13
  Speaker 6: and maybe he becomes a jumbo slot receiver in the
• 3:16
  Speaker 6: twelve personnel packages. Maybe they're able to put multiple tight
• 3:19
  Speaker 6: ends and he's the guy that's standing alone. It just
• 3:22
  Speaker 6: adds to what Liam Cohn wants to do with this
• 3:25
  Speaker 6: offense in his second season at the Helm.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: And you see him running loose at you, it could
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: be a mismatch for certain players.
• 3:31
  Speaker 7: It's a little scary, yeah, Pluse they haven't had that
• 3:33
  Speaker 7: big kind of go up and get a guy at
• 3:35
  Speaker 7: wide receiver. So if you can kind of use Breton
• 3:37
  Speaker 7: in that role, that's certainly something new for the offense
• 3:40
  Speaker 7: to utilize. And Liam Cohen talks about it every time
• 3:43
  Speaker 7: we talk to him. He's just so excited with the
• 3:45
  Speaker 7: possibilities now that he feels like he has the personality
• 3:48
  Speaker 7: wants that feels like him and Grant can be a
• 3:51
  Speaker 7: little more creative with what they're going to do on
• 3:52
  Speaker 7: offense this season.
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: Now, let's get to the quarterback, of course, Trevor Lawrence
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: under the microscope in his second year in this offense.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: We'll get to the offense coming up with.
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: The big story at the start of the press conference
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: was about the haircut. It was the first time talking
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: to the media since the schedule release.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: What about the haircut?
• 4:15
  Speaker 8: Trevor got a lot of is that that's not real, right,
• 4:19
  Speaker 8: And I'm like no, They're like, oh, thank god. Then
• 4:22
  Speaker 8: they say how bad it was, But I wonder why
• 4:23
  Speaker 8: they would have said it.
• 4:24
  Speaker 5: I was like, yeah, it's true.
• 4:25
  Speaker 9: So is there any chance that you actually would Are
• 4:28
  Speaker 9: you ever tinkering with cutting your hair like shorter like
• 4:32
  Speaker 9: I would?
• 4:32
  Speaker 8: I mean, I don't know, not anytime soon.
• 4:35
  Speaker 5: That's not the plan, but let.
• 4:37
  Speaker 8: Me keep that in my back pocket if I ever
• 4:39
  Speaker 8: need a little pr I guess that that worked pretty good.
• 4:42
  Speaker 8: So I did somebody to get off my back just
• 4:44
  Speaker 8: do a fake haircut.
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: Mark Long and the AP getting a big, big story,
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: Buck and the U. It is funny how how much
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: that has gone since since they put out the schedule.
• 4:56
  Speaker 5: Well, look, it's going on for a long time.
• 4:58
  Speaker 6: Having known Trevor since he was in high school, like
• 5:00
  Speaker 6: has been a big part of his story. I mean
• 5:02
  Speaker 6: the flowing locks sunshine as they would call him way
• 5:05
  Speaker 6: back when he was coming through Atlit eleven with the
• 5:08
  Speaker 6: hair I just can't imagine Trevor Lawrence without the hair.
• 5:11
  Speaker 5: It's almost like Samson.
• 5:13
  Speaker 6: Would he lose his powers if he didn't have the
• 5:15
  Speaker 6: long hair, And we're hoping that based on the way
• 5:17
  Speaker 6: that he played last year, he doesn't have any plans
• 5:20
  Speaker 6: to cut the hair off, because we certainly don't want
• 5:22
  Speaker 6: him to regress after all the progress that he made
• 5:25
  Speaker 6: last season.
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: I don't think he does.
• 5:26
  Speaker 7: Plus, I think Marissa likes it, so happy wife, happy life.
• 5:29
  Speaker 7: You don't want to cut your hair if your wife
• 5:31
  Speaker 7: doesn't like it. But he did say his grandma saw
• 5:35
  Speaker 7: and called and asked if it was real, which I
• 5:38
  Speaker 7: was like, you gotta let grandma in on the joke.
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: You see these things on the internet, think it's real.
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: But that was such a terrible wig, and people were
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: texting me about it. I was like, I would hope
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: if he did cut his hair, that was not the
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: cut that would be chosing.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: I'll be honest with you.
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: For somebody who doesn't have much anymore, I'll take what
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: I can get.
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: Sometimes you want that you would want that haircut, I.
• 5:58
  Speaker 6: Mean, you haven't seen yeah exactly, I mean, but I
• 6:02
  Speaker 6: do think we certainly could find him a stylist that
• 6:05
  Speaker 6: could make it.
• 6:05
  Speaker 5: If he wanted to go shorter.
• 6:07
  Speaker 6: We could give him a nice little option, nice and
• 6:10
  Speaker 6: tapered and cut efficiently.
• 6:14
  Speaker 5: Not like that.
• 6:15
  Speaker 6: I don't know what that was, but yeah, we can
• 6:17
  Speaker 6: upgrade the stylist that is taking care of his hair
• 6:20
  Speaker 6: if he decides to cut it short.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: Bucky.
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: I think yours is by choice. Mine is by nature.
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: But I think my advice to Trevor, it's my only
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: hair advice, is to be careful because it might not
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: always come back.
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: Hold on to it as long as you can.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: Don't have as long.
• 6:33
  Speaker 5: As you can, cut it as long as you can,
• 6:35
  Speaker 5: because it doesn't go back.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: You can't go back and play the game again.
• 6:40
  Speaker 5: Yeah. Yeah, it's all over. That's funny. Though Trevor seems
• 6:44
  Speaker 5: to be in a good mood like he's back.
• 6:46
  Speaker 6: He certainly appears to be enjoying himself being back on
• 6:50
  Speaker 6: the grass and all the things that they're doing. I
• 6:53
  Speaker 6: just like the buzz and the energy you guys are
• 6:55
  Speaker 6: there boosts on the ground, but it does feel like
• 6:58
  Speaker 6: there's a different energy and building in.
• 7:01
  Speaker 5: I think I'm excited about the prospects.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: It's real.
• 7:03
  Speaker 7: It feels organized too. I think I wrote this yesterday
• 7:05
  Speaker 7: and I was just talking about it, like, because you know,
• 7:07
  Speaker 7: obviously last year's new system, you scheme, new coaches, everything,
• 7:09
  Speaker 7: so everybody's kind of figuring out what they're doing running around.
• 7:12
  Speaker 7: It just feels like they have it under control. Like
• 7:15
  Speaker 7: obviously there are new parts to this rookies, new players,
• 7:17
  Speaker 7: but it's.
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: Organized and how they're doing.
• 7:20
  Speaker 7: They know what they want to get out of it,
• 7:22
  Speaker 7: and they know how they want to teach it to them,
• 7:24
  Speaker 7: teach to the players. And I think just having the
• 7:26
  Speaker 7: coaching staff all on one page, and then also the
• 7:28
  Speaker 7: veterans understanding enough from last year to help with some
• 7:31
  Speaker 7: of the younger guys this year, it feels like it's
• 7:33
  Speaker 7: all kind of flowing information and very organize this at
• 7:36
  Speaker 7: least so far.
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, second go round for the coaching staff and everybody
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: in the building, and certainly for the players in the
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: system as well. And speaking of the offense, it is
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: year two in this offense for Trevor Lawrence, who's had
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: a bunch of different offenses in his NFL career, it's
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: more about refining the offense now instead of learning new material, the.
• 7:57
  Speaker 8: Opportunity to focus on the details more than just absorbing
• 8:01
  Speaker 8: like all the information and just trying to get it
• 8:04
  Speaker 8: on tape and run it and then make you know
• 8:06
  Speaker 8: all the corrections. Like last year, it's just a lot
• 8:08
  Speaker 8: more to take in and your mind is racing a
• 8:10
  Speaker 8: little bit because you're thinking about a lot so this
• 8:12
  Speaker 8: year to have the system down a bunch of guys
• 8:15
  Speaker 8: that have played together. Obviously there's a few new pieces,
• 8:18
  Speaker 8: but majority of us really know it. We can focus
• 8:20
  Speaker 8: on talking about all the details of each route and
• 8:23
  Speaker 8: how it's gonna adjust versus certain coverages, and then also
• 8:26
  Speaker 8: making tweaks to to the concepts and of the plays
• 8:29
  Speaker 8: that we already have, and like we've had a handful
• 8:31
  Speaker 8: of things where we've changed them from last year because
• 8:33
  Speaker 8: running them a full season and seeing what we like,
• 8:36
  Speaker 8: it's like, okay, this would be better to add on
• 8:38
  Speaker 8: the backside than what we were running. So being able
• 8:40
  Speaker 8: to do stuff like that and just improve the offense,
• 8:42
  Speaker 8: not just completely all right, just do the same thing,
• 8:45
  Speaker 8: like trying to see what is better and making some tweaks.
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: That's Trevor Lawrence yesterday, Bucky, and this is where okay,
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: you can start really taking steps as an offense. And Kat,
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: I'm not comparing him to Tom Brady. But you saw
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: Tom Brady firsthand, right, They had that system down year
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: after year. They could make little tweaks and routes, Bucky,
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: where hey, I need you to go five yards and
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: turn this way. And this is the time of year
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: where you're starting to work on that stuff, right, Buck.
• 9:11
  Speaker 6: Yeah, this is the time like the chemistry and the connectivity.
• 9:14
  Speaker 6: And because you're in the same system you let's say
• 9:17
  Speaker 6: last year was like a base level course.
• 9:19
  Speaker 5: This is like Theelemrich court. Now we can move and
• 9:21
  Speaker 5: progress to graduate level.
• 9:23
  Speaker 6: And what you're hoping is that everyone is on the
• 9:25
  Speaker 6: same page and you begin to put your own touch
• 9:28
  Speaker 6: on this offense. If you're Trevor Lawrence and some of
• 9:30
  Speaker 6: these receivers and being able to kind of expand upon it,
• 9:35
  Speaker 6: being able to take some of the things that you
• 9:37
  Speaker 6: saw defenses due and to be able to aggressively attack
• 9:41
  Speaker 6: the way that people had the counters to this offense.
• 9:44
  Speaker 6: You want to be able to have all those answers
• 9:46
  Speaker 6: baked in last year, you're just trying to feel your
• 9:49
  Speaker 6: way through. This year should be the attempt to have
• 9:53
  Speaker 6: some mastery to it. So this way things happen quicker
• 9:57
  Speaker 6: and there's even a more efficient process.
• 10:00
  Speaker 5: It's funny.
• 10:00
  Speaker 6: I had a conversation yesterday about Trevor Lawrence and the
• 10:04
  Speaker 6: two areas. What I would say that he can improve
• 10:06
  Speaker 6: in terms of taking this game up a notch is
• 10:09
  Speaker 6: higher completion rate. To go from sixty percent to about
• 10:12
  Speaker 6: sixty seven sixty eight percent would be terrific. And then
• 10:17
  Speaker 6: the efficiency right last year passer rating was at ninety one.
• 10:21
  Speaker 6: If you can get that well over one hundred, it
• 10:24
  Speaker 6: means that this offense is operating at the high clip
• 10:27
  Speaker 6: that Liam Cohen wants to see. And it's also means
• 10:29
  Speaker 6: that we're probably putting more points on the board, which
• 10:31
  Speaker 6: is definitely what everyone wants.
• 10:33
  Speaker 7: I think what we're also kind of seeing with Trevor
• 10:35
  Speaker 7: is he taking ownership of it. It feels like it's
• 10:37
  Speaker 7: partially his, where I feel like sometimes when he was
• 10:40
  Speaker 7: running Doug's offense, it felt more like, Okay, this is
• 10:43
  Speaker 7: the system we run. It didn't feel like his own.
• 10:45
  Speaker 7: And it really feels like the way Liams tailored it
• 10:48
  Speaker 7: that Trevor has really taken ownership in it and he
• 10:50
  Speaker 7: feels like it's his and you can see the confidence
• 10:53
  Speaker 7: in him when he's operating now it's much different than
• 10:55
  Speaker 7: as opposed to, Oh, this is what we're required to do.
• 10:57
  Speaker 7: He has more of a you know, decision maker role
• 11:00
  Speaker 7: in it as well. He gets to option out, he
• 11:02
  Speaker 7: gets to choose a lot more, and I think he's
• 11:04
  Speaker 7: really We've seen him being given a more difficult offense
• 11:08
  Speaker 7: and he's really risen to the challenge. At least what
• 11:10
  Speaker 7: we've seen in the back half of last season. I imagine
• 11:12
  Speaker 7: it will continue this season. But giving him more independence,
• 11:16
  Speaker 7: the ability to make decisions at the line and kind
• 11:19
  Speaker 7: of operate there, could be overwhelming for some people, but
• 11:21
  Speaker 7: Trevor really seems to enjoy that task of having more
• 11:24
  Speaker 7: options at his disposal, of being able to be the
• 11:27
  Speaker 7: one to make the decisions.
• 11:29
  Speaker 5: Kay, you didn't notice.
• 11:30
  Speaker 6: I always wanted to be a teacher, and they always
• 11:31
  Speaker 6: talk about an education that your students rise up to
• 11:34
  Speaker 6: the standards that you created in the classroom. So when
• 11:36
  Speaker 6: Liam came in and he talked about, oh, no, we're
• 11:39
  Speaker 6: going to give him all of this at the line
• 11:41
  Speaker 6: of scrimmage. We're now going to have a risk man,
• 11:43
  Speaker 6: We're gonna have multiple audibles, we're gonna have keels at
• 11:45
  Speaker 6: the line of scrimmage. And he's going to be able
• 11:46
  Speaker 6: to run it, and what we've seen it was very
• 11:48
  Speaker 6: hard and difficult and challenging at first, but when he
• 11:51
  Speaker 6: mastered what he did, it does give him a control
• 11:55
  Speaker 6: and a sense of, oh, this is my offense.
• 11:57
  Speaker 5: I know what I'm doing.
• 11:58
  Speaker 6: Everyone has to respond to what I'm seeing and what
• 12:02
  Speaker 6: I want to do. I think indirectly, Liam created a
• 12:07
  Speaker 6: situation where Trevor had to own the offense for this
• 12:10
  Speaker 6: offense to be effective, otherwise it wouldn't work. And because
• 12:13
  Speaker 6: he was able to get it, I'll say about the
• 12:15
  Speaker 6: middle of the year, he was able to really understand
• 12:17
  Speaker 6: and comprehend it. He's excited about having more at his
• 12:20
  Speaker 6: disposal because it allows him to get to other parts
• 12:24
  Speaker 6: in this offense that were really unlocked, different parts of
• 12:27
  Speaker 6: his game. So I think we all should be excited
• 12:29
  Speaker 6: to feel the excitement in his voice about what they're
• 12:32
  Speaker 6: doing and how they progress. I think it's only going
• 12:34
  Speaker 6: to be a good thing for this offense as we
• 12:36
  Speaker 6: look towards the season.
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: And obviously you can dig into the technical parts of
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: this offense with guys who weren't here last offseason. Jakobe
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: Myers was not around last offseason. He came mid season
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: and trial by fire, he was fantastic at the end
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: of the year. But now he's in those meetings every day.
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: He's working with Trevor after practice with all these different
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: receivers working on technique and different items. You can really
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: dig deep this time of year in that regard to
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: I like seeing the after practice, Hey, let's stay for
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: another fifteen to twenty minutes out here and maybe go
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: through something that didn't go right today or something I
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: want to tweak a little bit.
• 13:13
  Speaker 7: I think Jacoby also really took to when he got here,
• 13:17
  Speaker 7: was that backup season when Trevor was really understanding the
• 13:19
  Speaker 7: offense well, and I feel like he was kind of
• 13:21
  Speaker 7: teaching him that as well. And when you can come
• 13:23
  Speaker 7: in and have a quarterback that knows where they want
• 13:25
  Speaker 7: you to be and can say that to you and
• 13:27
  Speaker 7: be direct about it and isn't like we should watch
• 13:29
  Speaker 7: you learning it with you, that very much came out
• 13:33
  Speaker 7: quite clear right out of the gate right that he
• 13:35
  Speaker 7: was understanding of the offense and he could teach it
• 13:38
  Speaker 7: to others as well as whichever was able to do.
• 13:40
  Speaker 7: And if you're a veteran coming in, you can have
• 13:42
  Speaker 7: respect for that. If you're coming into a system where
• 13:44
  Speaker 7: everybody else is learning at the same time, it could
• 13:46
  Speaker 7: be a little difficult. But it felt like they were
• 13:47
  Speaker 7: at a good point in the season when he came
• 13:49
  Speaker 7: in that he was able to kind of pick it
• 13:50
  Speaker 7: up as it goes along.
• 13:52

• 14:18
  Speaker 3: A lot of questions about Travis Hunter these days. Pretty
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: much everywhere you go you get asked about Travis Hunters.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: How it works.
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: He's off to the side right now, He's limited in
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: the off season program. Liam Cohen asked about his progress
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: off the field.
• 14:33
  Speaker 9: I asked him he had a mic and he was
• 14:35
  Speaker 9: listening to the calls, and I'm like, dude, you want
• 14:38
  Speaker 9: to jump on there, don't you and start talking.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: Don't you? You know, so it was great.
• 14:43
  Speaker 9: You know, the virtual room, sorry, has been really good
• 14:46
  Speaker 9: for Travis to be able to go in there. We
• 14:50
  Speaker 9: expanded that room downstairs to make it one big room,
• 14:54
  Speaker 9: and man, you can go in there and essentially play
• 14:56
  Speaker 9: a game like almost like you know, from your from
• 14:59
  Speaker 9: the defensive backs perspective, all you see is the linebackers,
• 15:04
  Speaker 9: the D line, and the offense. And so he can
• 15:06
  Speaker 9: go in there in a half hour and play a
• 15:10
  Speaker 9: game and just go right now, You're not gonna be
• 15:12
  Speaker 9: able to get a ton of all the routes and
• 15:15
  Speaker 9: how they play out, but alignment, assignment, making calls, adjustments
• 15:21
  Speaker 9: to formations has been so valuable to him.
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: A sleem coen of course, full press conferences from Tuesday
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: at Jaguars dot Com and Jaguars YouTube. And yeah, there's
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: the They used to have two different rooms, one for offense,
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: one for defense, where basically it's the whole wall is
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: a screen and from the player's vantage point you can
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: see a full defense or a full offensive lineup.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: And now they've just blown out the wall.
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: It's like the full length of a football field.
• 15:47
  Speaker 7: Now, I think is it that wid I think so,
• 15:49
  Speaker 7: because it was like two or three rooms they connect together.
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: So now it's as if you're standing on.
• 15:54
  Speaker 7: A football field, like the width of a football field
• 15:56
  Speaker 7: and then probably I think fifteen twenty yards and then
• 15:59
  Speaker 7: that the whole screen wall is just as if you
• 16:02
  Speaker 7: were standing at the line of scrimmage staring a football.
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: So it's very cool immersive experience.
• 16:06
  Speaker 7: And I'm imagining if you're actually trying to learn an
• 16:09
  Speaker 7: NFL defense or offense, that's the way to go about it.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: Bucking.
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: They didn't have that ninety five here.
• 16:14
  Speaker 5: No they didn't. No, they didn't.
• 16:15
  Speaker 6: But but the things you guys are describing, I think
• 16:17
  Speaker 6: I saw a video like Texas Tech has.
• 16:19
  Speaker 5: What they call the like a walk through room. They
• 16:21
  Speaker 5: have things similar like that.
• 16:22
  Speaker 6: And you know, the one thing that people are saying,
• 16:25
  Speaker 6: with the advances of VR and being able to get
• 16:29
  Speaker 6: those mental reps, your mind can't tell the difference between like
• 16:32
  Speaker 6: a mental rep and a physical rep, and so it's
• 16:33
  Speaker 6: a way to advance your game without exposing the physical exertion.
• 16:37
  Speaker 5: That's a very creative way.
• 16:39
  Speaker 6: No, in ninety five, they certainly didn't have those things
• 16:41
  Speaker 6: available to Bucky Brooks.
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: Another just had two days outside.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's three days of the heat.
• 16:46
  Speaker 5: I mean, you know, we're a different breed back then.
• 16:48
  Speaker 5: You know, it's a different time.
• 16:50
  Speaker 6: You know, like we'd like to go into grass, deal
• 16:52
  Speaker 6: with the Florida heat and kind of get some mextic
• 16:53
  Speaker 6: conditioning in while we're trying to work on games.
• 16:55
  Speaker 5: I mean, today's generation, that's just not how they build.
• 16:57
  Speaker 5: You know.
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: Importance of patient for Travis Hunter Bucky in this offseason
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: where he's not going to be on the field much,
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: he's going to be in those rooms. You know, everybody's
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: wanting him to do all these things. He wants to
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: do all these things, but the calendar only goes at
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: its own pace.
• 17:16
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I think he has to be very patient, and
• 17:19
  Speaker 6: I think the people around him have to be very
• 17:20
  Speaker 6: very patient with him and try and restrain him from
• 17:23
  Speaker 6: working against himself. Look, it's a marathon, not a sprint.
• 17:26
  Speaker 6: He has plenty of time to get back and he's
• 17:28
  Speaker 6: going to be the player that we thought it would
• 17:29
  Speaker 6: be in one second overall. Pick Now, it's a little
• 17:32
  Speaker 6: different because people are talking about defensive heavy more so
• 17:35
  Speaker 6: than offensive heavy. But I'm be honest with you, when
• 17:38
  Speaker 6: you watched him at Colorado, it was more that he
• 17:41
  Speaker 6: was a terrific defensive player of great instincts and awareness,
• 17:44
  Speaker 6: and in a defense that is designed to be more
• 17:47
  Speaker 6: zone oriented where you're playing with vision on the quarterback
• 17:50
  Speaker 6: and he can lean into his natural instincts.
• 17:53
  Speaker 5: He should be a terrific player on that side.
• 17:55
  Speaker 6: And then we're seeing the multiplicity of the offense and
• 17:58
  Speaker 6: all the different things to talk about Breton and strange,
• 18:00
  Speaker 6: but to be a role for him, They'll create a
• 18:02
  Speaker 6: role for him to get on the field and make
• 18:04
  Speaker 6: plays and kind of be the same dynamic weapon that
• 18:07
  Speaker 6: he was teasing us before his injury. Look, I'm excited
• 18:11
  Speaker 6: about him and his progress. We just got to make
• 18:13
  Speaker 6: sure he's healthy and ready to go when he has
• 18:15
  Speaker 6: his opportunity.
• 18:16
  Speaker 7: They're definitely engaging him as much as they can right now,
• 18:18
  Speaker 7: because even you know, some people that are injured, they'll
• 18:20
  Speaker 7: be off to the side, working out doing other things.
• 18:22
  Speaker 4: He's like they were doing team drills yesterday.
• 18:24
  Speaker 7: He's in the huddle, listening to the play, doing all that,
• 18:26
  Speaker 7: and then he just steps back and doesn't do the play.
• 18:28
  Speaker 7: Like he's very much involved in everything he possibly can
• 18:31
  Speaker 7: be at this point. So I have to imagine, you know,
• 18:33
  Speaker 7: they're probably holding him back a little bit make sure
• 18:35
  Speaker 7: everything's all right before he gets back out there, but
• 18:37
  Speaker 7: I don't think it'll be sooner than later next week.
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: Two more actually OTA practices this.
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: Week and then three next week, including one open on
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: the media. Usually the first one of the week will
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: be open to the media each week, and next week
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: it's defense at the podium. Anthony Campanelli, I believe will
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: be at the podium. Great Venski was there yesterday as well.
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: You can check out that conversation. So we'll have a
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: lot more defensive talk next week. And in Blucky the
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: Man Toy Mini Campus June nine, ten to eleven, they
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: didn't they didn't.
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: Have three more o t as on the schedule.
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: Will after that they moved it up a week, kind
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: of flip flopped some things. So there's your upcoming schedule, Buck.
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: I know you'll be here to chart and incompletions and everything.
• 19:16
  Speaker 5: Absolutely.
• 19:16
  Speaker 6: I mean like I can't wait to have my feet
• 19:18
  Speaker 6: in the grass to be able to see it, see
• 19:20
  Speaker 6: how the team is progressing.
• 19:21
  Speaker 5: I will be there next week.
• 19:24

• 19:31
  Speaker 5: Yeah, coming.

• 19:35
  Speaker 6: not too hot. I don't want to be out there
• 19:37
  Speaker 6: a SWI I was going to say, I.
• 19:38
  Speaker 7: Pulled some strings and got them to work out inside yesterday,
• 19:40
