• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Good, okay, time in this offense.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: What do you what do you like about what Ryan
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: grub doing. Honestly, my favorite thing about it is just
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: like everybody being able to get into positions that they're
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: they're really good at, being able to do the things
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: that they're really good at.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: Use our speed, use their changing direction, use all these things.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: You can tell that he really has really put some
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: thought into where he wants guys to be put at
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: and what positions they'll succeed in.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: So I think that's been a really cool part of it.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: Working with that Sam a lot.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: The last time one is with you know, I just
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: I guess, what have you thought of his broadcast?
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: I think I think Sam's been doing a great job.
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: Young guy. It's cool. You know, we're around the same age.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: He's a little bit a little bit younger, but good dude,
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: great player. Obviously, he did some really good things in Washington,
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: so you know, we're excited to have him and up.
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: You know, I think that you know, with Gino Hurt,
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: I think he stepped in. He stepped then, uh and
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: has done a great job for us. And we've been
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: you know, putting the ball in the end zone, doing
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: the things that we need to do, so, uh, it
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: could be a little bit cleaner, but you know, we'll
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: get there.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: We'll get there.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: There's a sequence out there where it was like Brady, Russell,
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: Westover and aj all have really nice catches kind of
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: went after this. What do you like about the depth
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: of this position grade it's been It's been great. I
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: think that it's it's a kind of raised the level
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: of competition in camp. Just everybody battling, wanting, wanting the
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: best for each other. But you know, kind of a
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: tribute to the you know, uh grub system is just
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: like guys are able to get open and use their
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: abilities to you know, kind of pop off a little bit,
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: and anybody, anybody, any guy can do that.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: So it's cool to see those young guys.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: Doing their thing and and rooting for them, and uh,
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: you know, it's all you know, I think all of
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: our tight ends had to catch today, which was which
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: is something that was pretty cool. So cool going against
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: this defense a lot with offensive perspective, what are you seeing?
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: I guess we despect I mean with with coach McDonald's system,
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: I think the best the best played to describe it,
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: we played them last year against Baltimore as the hardest
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: defense we played against. I think that he does a
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: great job with disguising, bringing pressure, like all those things
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: that we saw already in Baltimore. I think he's he's
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: a great coach for the defense and has been you know,
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: constantly on them and it's been great battles in camp.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: I think that once we get you know, going against
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: other teams, and it's gonna be to the point where
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: we're a little bit more relaxed, we may not be
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: seen as much pressure, it may not be seen as
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: much of them disguising their safeties. So I think it'll
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: be it's gonna be really good for both of us,
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: both sides of the ball in terms of, you know,
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: sentuating what guys do best. How is that gonna help
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: you in your field? I think, I mean, yeah, it'll
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: help me, but I think it's gonna help everybody. I think, uh,
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: like I touched on before, I think Grub has really
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: sat down, looked at the film previously and determine. Hey,
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: I really feel like Noah's got good speed. I really
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: feel like DK can really high point the ball very well.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: I think Jackson is a great route under. He's changing
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: directions really good. Uh, same with Lockett, Like I think
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: that he's gone through and you know, identified those things.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: And even with the running backs with K nine, Hey,
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: this guy can catch out of the backfield like those
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: things that he's identified. It just gives our the versatility
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: of our offenses like through the roof. So it's one
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: of those things that, yeah, it's great for me, but
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: it's great for our offense as a whole. So I
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: think that's gonna be really beneficial to us, you know,
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: doing well on the field with a lot of people
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: fighting for a lost you spottle, but then a couple.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: Of weeks, what advice for encouragement you offer to name them?
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: Just keep pushing, Just keep pushing through. I mean we're
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: out here, long days of camp, long practices. You know
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: there's gonna be good days, bad days. Keep pushing, keep working,
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: keep fighting. And I think, you know, not only for
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: the guys that are pushing to make the team, but
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: even guys that are solidified that are you know, uh
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: you know, trying to be trying to do put really
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: good things on tape and uh do really well for
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: the season.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: It's the same thing. Keep fighting, keep pushing.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: It's gonna bring our team together, the camaraderie of our team,
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: and it was gonna get us better every day. So no,
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: kind of on that same note of competition, I know
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: Tomorrow's justice still a practice, but getting into.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: That stadium atmosphere, does it amp up the competition at all? Yeah?
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: I would.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: I would say, so you're in your play, You're in
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: your home field, you know what I'm saying, home field,
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: and you want to put good things on the field
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: when you're there.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: So I think it elevates the level of play.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: But I'm you know, honestly, I don't think the coaches
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: are gonna settle for anything less honestly, So I think
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: our level of play is gonna be where it.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: Needs to be, maybe a little bit higher. I doubt
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: that they're gonna want to realize back at all. So
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: it's gonna be it's gonna be fun, it's gonna be
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: a good time. Did you get out of grown up
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: in Nebraska? What much pride you take it being in
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: a Midwest guy? I love being a Midwest guy.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: I think the you know, the biggest thing I felt
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: like I learned was just like I came from Omaha,
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: which isn't a small town, but it's not a big
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: town either, just kind of having that you know, humble,
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: humble beginnings and kind of you know, just learn, you know,
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: how to operate. Being close to my really like a
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: tight knit family, which is kind of common in the Midwest.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: So I think that kind of raised me into where
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: I am today. And I enjoyed. I enjoyed that. So
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: was that.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, So I got a lot of family in Omahon
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: and a little bit of family in Chicago.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: So in between those places, Yeah, consider going to college January.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, you know, Nebraska was considered, uh, Minnesota,
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: Wisconsin and those places. At the end of the day,
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: it came down to Iowa. I wanted to get a
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: little bit of ways from home, but and I also
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: knew I wanted to play tight end and that's tight en.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: You all the way. So it was a good place
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: to be good. Thank you guys,
