• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Him word progress from way.
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: Once and now Yeah, very positively is probably the way
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: I would explain it. He's very decisive. You know, he's
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: done a great job with his feet the last few
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: weeks too. But he's a tremendously accurate thrower and a
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: very mature decision maker in my opinion at this point.
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: You know, for for a young guy, but he's definitely progressed,
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: and you know, he's getting the ball where it's supposed
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: to go just about all the time.
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: He's keeping a lot of plays alive with his feet.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: So he makes you work, you know, just like all
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: the other great players at that position. He makes you
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: work obviously with the plan in the pocket to defend
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: him and then trying to mix and change your coverages
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: because he sees it really, really well.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: He got a quarterback like Rooie. I mean, he can
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: move around. Yeah, he's gonna keep you on your toes
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: kind of.
• 0:51
  Speaker 4: He has a little bit of that Mahomes to his game.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean he's just he's a big, strong kid too.
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: But you know, he keeps plays alive in the play.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: He's one of those guys. He plays alive in the
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: pocket and he can really do damage down the field
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: throwing the ball because he keeps the plays alive. You know,
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: it's one thing to get out of there and scramble
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: and get through, which he does do a good job
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: at that.
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: But it's some of those plays that you look over
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: the course of the season where.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: He's kept it alive and gotten big chunk plays down
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: the field because he keeps his eyes down the field.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: So he's an aggressive player at that position, and you
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: gotta have a good plan for him.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: Soonio Johnson, over like the past two.
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: Weeks or so, I think that's more just an accumulation
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: of all the work that he's put in, you know,
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: watching him every day from the spring till now. It's
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: little by little, and I think what you're seeing is
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: a lot of that stuff is manifesting and he's got
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: I think a lot of confidence in what he's doing,
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: because it's like anything else, if you do some of
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: the same things over and over and over again, you
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: can become a.
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: Master at it.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: And I think he's trending in a way where he
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: not only knows what he's supposed to do, he knows
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: what everybody's around, everybody around him supposed to do, and
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: he's got some position in flexibility too, because he's a
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: big guy and a physical guy. He can play down
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: closer to the line of scrimmage, you know, do some
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: nickel type of roles and linebacker type of roles, those
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: type of things. You've seen him do that, and has
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: the ability to play back on the hash with some
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: man coverage skills too down low. So he's really got
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: a great skill set in my opinion, and he's he's
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: progressed very very well, and I think.
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: He's doing a really good job for us.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: He's the way to pass rush responded after you know
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: what Liam said after the Houston game.
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: Over the last two weeks.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think some of those, some of the rushes
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: in the last two weeks, the guys have done a
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: very good job. There's you know some where we had
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: him in the grasp too. You know that didn't show
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: up his sacks, but definitely affected the quarterback and affected
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: the outcome of the play. Uh, And that's we're gonna
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: need that down a stretch, you know. I think we've
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: gotten a little bit better there. We've got to continue
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: to progress there. The guys are working their ass off
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: to get that right. I think our d line coaches
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: have done a really really good job with that. Matt
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: Edwards and Derek LeBlanc have done a really good job
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: with the plans and staying vigilant with the guys about
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: how we rush, you know, and really, I think when
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: you're doing a good job in the rush, that's usually
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: because there's a team rush mentality, and there's certainly a
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: bunch of selfless guys in there who were trying to
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: whether we're running inside stunts or what are outside stunts,
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: whatever it is, trying to make sure that they execute
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: the plan and get guys home, even if it's not
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: themselves or good JOm.
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: How important is would you just talk about can't be
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: rushing as a team and making sure you're doing your role.
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's tremendously important. You know.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: There's some like there's a rush the other day early
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: in the game, you know, where we set up a
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: little bit of a spy deal based on the coverage
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: that we were playing, and they really executed it really,
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: really well. I think it was the first or second
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: third down of the game, and Dennis came around, did
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: a good job staying patient. But that's really that's a collective,
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: that's all four guys executing you know, the call, getting
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: the us, getting it moved to where we wanted to go,
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: and getting the guy on the.
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: Ground because we did it correctly.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: So they had a bunch of those over the last
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: two weeks, and to be honest with you, we've had
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: a bunch of those throughout the season, and I think
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: they're starting to see the fruits of their labor and
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: some of that stuff's paying dividends.
• 4:15
  Speaker 5: Playing rookie quarterbacks is the number one thing to do
• 4:19
  Speaker 5: to confuse that.
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: Is that the goal, just confuse them, to make them
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: pull that ball the more.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think on the back end, even to speak
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: to what you were just asking about the pass rush,
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: the coverage being tight and the coverage being able to
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: do a good job disguising can often force the quarterback
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: to hold the ball. So those two things working together,
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: I would say that that's usually the case. But this
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: guy is also, in my opinion, he's he's a sharp kid.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: He's very mature. I don't see him making a lot
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: of bad decisions back there, which to me is the
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: most impressive thing about him. He's an impressive athlete, but
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: he's impressive as a decision maker.
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: And knowing where to go with the ball.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: So we got to do a good job of that,
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: certainly against anybody, but definitely against him as well. Look
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: at talk to the guys going, hey, look, yeah, he's
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: the most sad quarterback in the league.
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: But that doesn't mean we're gonna we're gonna get to him,
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: don't Like.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: Just look at that and as soon we're gonna get home.
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think you ever can.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: I think they're If you look at their games over
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: the course of the year, they've been playing a lot
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: of tight games. You know, they got the Seattle game
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: down at one score, game the other day, you're looking
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: and play Houston the other day two weeks ago or
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: whatever it was, ten days ago. Uh, they've done a
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: really good job and they're fighting. They got their players
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: playing hard. So we got to do a great job
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: in the rush. And nobody's looking at this like that
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: type of game. Everybody's looking at it like this is Uh,
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: we got to get our best effort and put our
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: best foot forward to execute against these guys. He did
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: a good job. Thought overall, he did a good job.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: Un though both guys did you know, and I thought
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: Buster overall did a pretty good job too. So having
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: those guys in there and playing a bunch, it's given us.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: I think it gives you a shot in the arm
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: going down to stretch because you know, like real football
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: starts at Thanksgiving. In this league, this is that's kind
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: of an age old saying in the NFL, But uh,
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: you're getting down to the nitty gritty here, and we
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: got to be at our best, and you want to
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: have guys who've played and they've been seasoned, you know,
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: they've been battle tested. And I feel like we have
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: a bunch of guys who've done that because we've played
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: pretty much everybody in the back end. You know, Rayon Lane,
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: i'd say the same thing. You know, in the back end,
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: he's done a good job. From where he started out
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: in the year at that, I think he's had tremendous progress.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: And I would say the same thing about Christian. I
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: think Craigs just kind of keep going the way he's going.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: I don't really need to see anything else when I
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: got total confidence in Greg, you know, love him as
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: a player. I think he's got a ton of skills,
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: certainly when it comes to man to man and playing
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: his own So yeah, I'm confidence as I possibly could
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: be in any of those guys, and especially Greg.
• 6:58
  Speaker 5: He touch about how much pride, how important is to
• 7:02
  Speaker 5: be playing to run.
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: As well as you guys are.
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think if you're if you're stopping the run,
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: you're making people one dimensional and that's important. I mean,
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: I think there's an emotional high that comes from big
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: plays in the past game, but there's a physical high
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: that comes from being able to run the ball on somebody.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: I don't think there's a more helpless feeling in football
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: than somebody being able to run the ball and kick
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: your ass down the field, you know.
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: So that's something that is very very important to us.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: We kind of hold sacred in our room making sure
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: that we're doing a good job of that, you know,
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: and when we're not, it's not good enough, it's not acceptable.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: And I think the guys have taken to that, you know,
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: to not stay blocked and do your job, do your
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: one to eleventh, but then go do some more, you know,
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: go find a way to get to the football. I
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: think that's a really important part of run defense, and
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: I think our defensive backs and defensive backs coaches have
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: done a very good job of that of spreading that
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: culture around the room because you know, instenally they're gona
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: make the corners tackle because they don't think corners can tackle.
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: And you got to have guys that position that are
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: physical enough to do it, that want to do it,
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: and you know, culture culturally, there's buy into that on
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: our end. So that's another thing, like even asking about
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: those guys, I think they've both done a really good job.
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: I thought even in a run game.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: Greg had some physical reps the other day taking on
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: pullers and all kinds of stuff. So yeah, to your
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: point before, I think both of those guys done a
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: good job.
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: Appreciate it.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: After last week there were the turnovers were properly up
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: and down. Can that be as much of a confidence
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: building game for you and the quarterback and Trevor as
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: even a perfect game because you see that he's not
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: going to get raveled by that kind of stuff.
• 8:39
  Speaker 5: Absolutely, And I think you see, especially when you have
• 8:42
  Speaker 5: success on the other side of it, the resilience to
• 8:45
  Speaker 5: go from one drive to the next drive. But additionally
• 8:49
  Speaker 5: to know we can make mistakes and still overcome that.
• 8:52
  Speaker 5: Not that we would ever want to do that, but
• 8:55
  Speaker 5: there is an element of doubts sometimes for certain players
• 8:58
  Speaker 5: when they go out there and make mistakes and say,
• 9:00
  Speaker 5: even if I play well, can I play well enough
• 9:02
  Speaker 5: to overcome that? So to be able to go out
• 9:05
  Speaker 5: there and do your job and do it at a
• 9:06
  Speaker 5: high level and know that that is enough to overcome
• 9:09
  Speaker 5: a mistake in a game that you can go up
• 9:12
  Speaker 5: that that's freeing moving forward to say I can go
• 9:15
  Speaker 5: play fast and I don't want to make mistakes. We
• 9:17
  Speaker 5: got to be better about protecting the ball. But if
• 9:19
  Speaker 5: I do, we can play well enough to overcome those things,
• 9:22
  Speaker 5: which is huge.
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: Liam, you know sett he told Trevor after all the picks,
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: each pick, just to keep throwing and keep chucking it.
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: How comforting is that for a quarterback to know that
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: you know he's not.
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: Going to that he can he has a head coach
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: that'll tell him that and has the confidence in him
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: to just keep firing down there.
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: It's a huge deal.
• 9:39
  Speaker 5: And I think Liam's confidence in the quarterback, the offensive line,
• 9:43
  Speaker 5: the coaching staff, everybody is one of those things that's
• 9:46
  Speaker 5: contagious and it affects all the players, all the coaches,
• 9:49
  Speaker 5: the whole organization, because, especially at the quarterback position, you're
• 9:53
  Speaker 5: going out there and the ball is in your hands
• 9:55
  Speaker 5: every single play, and it's not like it's in your
• 9:57
  Speaker 5: hand and you're just like passing it on to even
• 9:59
  Speaker 5: on plays where hand it off, you're going up there
• 10:01
  Speaker 5: and you're making a decision that affects the outcome of
• 10:04
  Speaker 5: the play, effects the outcome of the drive, and then
• 10:06
  Speaker 5: effects the outcome of the game when you're.
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: Trapolated all the way out.
• 10:09
  Speaker 5: So a lot of guys can get in their head
• 10:11
  Speaker 5: and take that and turn it into the weight of
• 10:14
  Speaker 5: the world every single time they got to go out
• 10:15
  Speaker 5: there and make a play which turns into a mistake,
• 10:19
  Speaker 5: becoming oh, that's the that's costing the team the game
• 10:22
  Speaker 5: where I'm doing all this and it becomes this you know,
• 10:25
  Speaker 5: certain like kind of this series of events where guys
• 10:28
  Speaker 5: end up, you know, falling into bad patterns of habit
• 10:31
  Speaker 5: and mental spaces.
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: But to go out there and know like I can make.
• 10:35
  Speaker 5: A mistake and they still have confidence in me and
• 10:38
  Speaker 5: I can go out there and play fast is huge
• 10:40
  Speaker 5: for a quarterback to be able to go out and
• 10:41
  Speaker 5: play at his highest level because if you're going out
• 10:43
  Speaker 5: there and then you know whether it's retroactively or preemptively
• 10:47
  Speaker 5: you're thinking, I can't make mistake, I can't do this,
• 10:49
  Speaker 5: and all the things I can't do, you're by default
• 10:52
  Speaker 5: not thinking about all the things you do want to
• 10:53
  Speaker 5: do and that you are trying to do. So it's
• 10:56
  Speaker 5: huge for him and he's done a great job of
• 10:57
  Speaker 5: handling that because one of those things that's easier said
• 11:00
  Speaker 5: than done. So you say it all the time and
• 11:02
  Speaker 5: you preach it all the time, but for him to
• 11:03
  Speaker 5: go out there and do it is really what's so impressive.
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: The wide receiver room, I.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: Mean, I guess the pecond order is shifted over the
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: course of the year. How much of an impact and
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: that have on like the passing game. Finding that that consistency,
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: Williams said he was starting to build more and more
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: confidence in the group. Maybe it's because you guys found
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: those pass catches you want to for a little bit.
• 11:22
  Speaker 5: I think there's a lot of things that go into it. Hopefully,
• 11:25
  Speaker 5: regardless of who's out there at receiver, more time on
• 11:28
  Speaker 5: task and more time together is going to produce a
• 11:31
  Speaker 5: better product in the past game, It's going to produce
• 11:33
  Speaker 5: more chemistry between those guys just pitching and catching or
• 11:37
  Speaker 5: understanding the space. I got to get to the time,
• 11:39
  Speaker 5: and I got to get there the way I'm releasing
• 11:41
  Speaker 5: on a certain route, the way this release pattern distributes
• 11:43
  Speaker 5: versus this coverage.
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: It plays out like this, or itaus that coverage. It
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: plays out like that.
• 11:47
  Speaker 5: But there is an element of guys having a certain
• 11:50
  Speaker 5: chemistry and finding what guys are good at certain routes
• 11:53
  Speaker 5: and certain concepts, what routes are good for the quarterback,
• 11:56
  Speaker 5: what routes are good for Jacoby Parker BT tam all
• 12:00
  Speaker 5: of our guys. So as we get better as a unit,
• 12:03
  Speaker 5: it should naturally improve. But finding those guys and finding
• 12:07
  Speaker 5: what they do well together, what they do well with
• 12:09
  Speaker 5: the quarterback does make a difference for those guys when
• 12:11
  Speaker 5: it's playing on time and playing with them, all those
• 12:13
  Speaker 5: things we talk about. That was a phasial progress, especially
• 12:17
  Speaker 5: over like the.
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: Last two or three weeks. He's progressed really all year.
• 12:21
  Speaker 5: I mean even since the spring coming in, where he
• 12:23
  Speaker 5: was a ton of stuff for him to learn that
• 12:25
  Speaker 5: was very different from what he had done in college,
• 12:28
  Speaker 5: and he's embraced that, and him and really the entire
• 12:30
  Speaker 5: running back room have attacked that in a really really
• 12:34
  Speaker 5: impressive way. I mean, the amount of extra work he
• 12:36
  Speaker 5: puts in with extra walkthroughs, extra film study with coach Morton.
• 12:41
  Speaker 5: He's up here on his off days getting extra lifts,
• 12:43
  Speaker 5: working on technique and fundamentals, trying to refine his craft
• 12:46
  Speaker 5: on his tracks, being disciplined with his cuts, his reads
• 12:49
  Speaker 5: in the run game, his understanding the protection schemes, really
• 12:52
  Speaker 5: all areas of his game. I could point the different
• 12:55
  Speaker 5: facets and say that he's made improvements.
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: Now.
• 12:57
  Speaker 5: Some of it you don't always see because he hasn't
• 12:59
  Speaker 5: gotten a ton of, for example, targets in the past game.
• 13:02
  Speaker 5: But when we're out there on the practice field, I
• 13:03
  Speaker 5: can see him continue to improve where I feel confident
• 13:06
  Speaker 5: that he has the ability to do certain things in
• 13:08
  Speaker 5: that area of the game. Same thing in the protection.
• 13:10
  Speaker 5: He hasn't had a ton of snaps and opportunities to
• 13:12
  Speaker 5: go up there and fit up complicated protection, you know,
• 13:15
  Speaker 5: pressure pickups and things like that. But I know from
• 13:18
  Speaker 5: what I see and walk through is in practice that
• 13:19
  Speaker 5: he is on the field, that he's capable of that.
• 13:21
  Speaker 5: So it's it's one thing to improve in the run game,
• 13:24
  Speaker 5: which he has done a ton of.
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: He's always been He's always had the talent.
• 13:27
  Speaker 5: He saw the balance, the strength the speed, the burst,
• 13:31
  Speaker 5: all those things from day one, but all the nuances
• 13:33
  Speaker 5: and details of the game have improved. But it's really
• 13:36
  Speaker 5: exciting to see a guy who hasn't had a lot
• 13:38
  Speaker 5: of opportunities in some areas of the game still work
• 13:40
  Speaker 5: so hard to improve those areas. And I mean the
• 13:44
  Speaker 5: way that whole room and Coach Moore gets those guys
• 13:47
  Speaker 5: ready to go, the way they attack it, the way
• 13:48
  Speaker 5: they practice is awesome for me, it's awesome for the
• 13:51
  Speaker 5: whole team, it's awesome.
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: For the unit.
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: Great.
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: He's been great. We talked about it last week.
• 13:57
  Speaker 5: He was going center, guard, card tackle, left tackle, right tackle.
• 14:03
  Speaker 5: There's certainly plays in the game from last week that
• 14:05
  Speaker 5: he would want to that he probably wants back, that
• 14:07
  Speaker 5: we all want back.
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: Every guy's got those.
• 14:10
  Speaker 5: But for him to go out there and do what
• 14:11
  Speaker 5: he did and be able to play different positions, communicate,
• 14:13
  Speaker 5: communicate with different guys, different schemes, different blocks, it's totally
• 14:17
  Speaker 5: a different fit of some of those blocks, even from
• 14:20
  Speaker 5: left to right. Like, yeah, combination between the guard and
• 14:22
  Speaker 5: the tackle might be the same combination on paper, but
• 14:25
  Speaker 5: the actual mechanics of fitting up with my left shoulders
• 14:28
  Speaker 5: was my right shoulder is a totally different feel for
• 14:30
  Speaker 5: those guys. So for him to do that week in
• 14:32
  Speaker 5: and week out is an another area. I know I've
• 14:34
  Speaker 5: said impressed with those backs, he would fall into that
• 14:36
  Speaker 5: same category for in strange.
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: Just getting him back, I mean you gotta call it
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: bass think the first pass of the game. Yeah, how
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: good was it to get him back.
• 14:46
  Speaker 4: In the flow in the mix of things really quickly huge?
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: Like we mentioned before, we got him back.
• 14:51
  Speaker 5: He adds a ton of value in attacking defenses in
• 14:53
  Speaker 5: the pass game and the run game. He can do
• 14:56
  Speaker 5: so much from a route standpoint. You saw that's a
• 14:59
  Speaker 5: deeper route. He has a bunch underneath catches where he's
• 15:01
  Speaker 5: catching and running, so he can really run a pretty
• 15:03
  Speaker 5: full route tree from a tight end perspective, I mean
• 15:05
  Speaker 5: he can be flexed out and running routes that receivers run.
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: And then in the run game, he's in.
• 15:09
  Speaker 5: Line, he's off the ball, he's slight, you know, he's
• 15:13
  Speaker 5: going back and forth in the backfield. He's motion and
• 15:15
  Speaker 5: doing a bunch of things. So he adds an element
• 15:17
  Speaker 5: of variety that lets us play in a bunch of
• 15:20
  Speaker 5: different sets in different personnels and still do similar things
• 15:23
  Speaker 5: out of those personnels or vastly different things out of
• 15:26
  Speaker 5: those personnels because he is so capable.
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: Did you realize just.
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: How valuable he was going to be to the offense
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: when he first came in.
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: That's a great question. I probably did not. I wish,
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: I wish I did.
• 15:37
  Speaker 5: But I mean, the more and more you're around him,
• 15:39
  Speaker 5: and the more you see the physicality and the explosive
• 15:42
  Speaker 5: ability in the run game or with the ball in
• 15:44
  Speaker 5: his hands, the more you realize how special a player
• 15:47
  Speaker 5: is and how much he adds to our offense, run, attacking, standpoint,
• 15:53
  Speaker 5: anything else. All Right, awesome, Thank you guys, Happy Thanksgiving guys.
• 15:55
  Speaker 5: I really appreciate you guys being him
