Press Pass | Liam Coen, Trevor Lawrence & Jourdan Lewis on Joint Practice w/ Dolphins · Press Pass

0:00
Speaker 1: I thought it was physical. That much was pretty obvious
0:04
Speaker 1: on both sides of the ball. I thought there was
0:06
Speaker 1: some physicality, you know. I think you're seeing different defensive structure,
0:11
Speaker 1: different offensive systems. It's great for our guys to just
0:14
Speaker 1: get that good work in. I'll have to watch the
0:17
Speaker 1: tape to see exactly what occurred, but you know, solid work.
0:21
Speaker 2: Did you feel like your team got enough work?
0:23
Speaker 3: And yeah, I mean it is what it is.
0:25
Speaker 1: I mean we were you know, they've had multiple joints already,
0:28
Speaker 1: we had none, So to be able to come out
0:31
Speaker 1: and compete against somebody else in general is great. So
0:34
Speaker 1: I do think that it was good quality workforce. You know,
0:37
Speaker 1: could we have been able to go more just because
0:39
Speaker 1: we're not sure.
0:39
Speaker 3: What we're gonna do with this next game?
0:41
Speaker 1: Yeah, probably, But it's good to come out of it
0:43
Speaker 1: healthy as well.
0:43
Speaker 2: How do you weigh what you see out here compared
0:45
Speaker 2: to what you've seen just what it's your team versus
0:47
Speaker 2: your guys.
0:48
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's you're out of a different comfort
0:52
Speaker 1: zone when you're against somebody else right in a different arena,
0:57
Speaker 1: you know, seeing different things and so maybe things that
1:00
Speaker 1: maybe can get let go in practice when you're just
1:02
Speaker 1: going against each other. Well, it's not gonna fly. Somebody
1:04
Speaker 1: else is gonna probably take advantage of it. So you know,
1:07
Speaker 1: that was something a couple of good learning lessons for
1:09
Speaker 1: us in the red zone on both sides of the ball.
1:11
Speaker 4: So it was good.
1:12
Speaker 5: I know you were hoping Travis could yees today it's
1:16
Speaker 5: something happened there or how was he doing?
1:17
Speaker 1: No, it was just more like do we want him
1:19
Speaker 1: now or potentially not in you know Carolina, Like it
1:23
Speaker 1: was more just being smart about you know, the next
1:27
Speaker 1: few weeks because the ultimate goal is uh Carolina, So
1:31
Speaker 1: that's the thing that's that top of mind right now.
1:33
Speaker 1: And for him, could he have probably gone? I think
1:36
Speaker 1: so like if this was Carolina, would you have probably played? Yeah,
1:39
Speaker 1: so we're moving in the right direction.
1:42
Speaker 3: The yeah, similar type deal.
1:45
Speaker 1: Like both those guys practiced yesterday in red jerseys or
1:48
Speaker 1: Travis didn't do as much, but they could have gone.
1:51
Speaker 3: It's just a matter of like it's not the time,
1:54
Speaker 3: not the time.
1:54
Speaker 6: And then obviously every day in training camp is competitive,
1:56
Speaker 6: but seeing it here against another team, do you see
1:58
Speaker 6: the competitiveness and the compete I go up a little bit.
2:00
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, you see seven a little bit differently
2:03
Speaker 1: in ways, right, which is something we've obviously been told
2:08
Speaker 1: and have seen as well in different points during camp.
2:12
Speaker 1: But you can definitely see his uptick change a bit,
2:16
Speaker 1: which was nice to see.
2:18
Speaker 3: But it was good. It was good quality work. I
2:20
Speaker 3: was pleased with.
2:21
Speaker 1: The effort in the way that they went about it.
2:24
Speaker 1: They took this thing seriously and tried to have a
2:27
Speaker 1: lot of pride in what they did.
2:29
Speaker 6: Your first joint practice as a head coach, was it
2:31
Speaker 6: important for you just to get one in this year
2:32
Speaker 6: and just see how you want to kind of do
2:33
Speaker 6: it moving forward?
2:34
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, Like you're you know, we had a schedule
2:38
Speaker 1: planned and then that schedule got changed, so you have
2:42
Speaker 1: to be able to navigate all these things and when
2:45
Speaker 1: you get We went against them last year and joint
2:47
Speaker 1: in Tampa, so I kind of knew what it was
2:49
Speaker 1: going to be in a lot of ways, you know.
2:52
Speaker 1: So it was It's a good learning experience because it's like,
2:54
Speaker 1: all right, do you want to set them up earlier
2:57
Speaker 1: more and not play him in the preseason games, or
2:59
Speaker 1: do you want to do something later. It's just it'll
3:02
Speaker 1: help us navigate this moving forward.
3:04
Speaker 7: You talked about the sun Brolli in the rap.
3:06
Speaker 5: It's important to get Mason and irvent this week in
3:09
Speaker 5: terms of protecting him.
3:10
Speaker 7: For the open.
3:11
Speaker 3: Absolutely.
3:12
Speaker 1: You know you felt them yesterday as well in practice.
3:15
Speaker 1: Now we weren't in a padded deal we have the
3:16
Speaker 1: spiders on, but you definitely felt them a little bit more.
3:20
Speaker 1: You felt our size inside a little bit more yesterday.
3:24
Speaker 3: I gotta go watch the tape.
3:25
Speaker 1: I didn't see a ton of the defense, but I
3:27
Speaker 1: know I think we stopped the run fairly well from
3:29
Speaker 1: what I understand. So it's nice to have those guys
3:32
Speaker 1: back in their long, big physical dudes, and we know
3:35
Speaker 1: what they can, you know, whatever it can do in
3:37
Speaker 1: a lot of ways, even though we haven't seen it.
3:38
Speaker 1: But Mason, man, he's second year player and needs as
3:42
Speaker 1: many reps as possible, so this is great work for him.
3:45
Speaker 4: With specific challenge.
3:46
Speaker 8: Is good has present to you that you were so
3:49
Speaker 8: happy to witness firsthand them having to face themselves.
3:53
Speaker 3: Yeah, so they will do.
3:56
Speaker 1: They do a nice job with man alignments and playing
3:59
Speaker 1: zone and zone alignments and playing man so you can
4:03
Speaker 1: displace the tight end or the running back and they'll
4:07
Speaker 1: actually we call mask coverage where they're showing you one
4:10
Speaker 1: thing and on the snap of the ball changes and
4:13
Speaker 1: so that is really good experience for us to be
4:16
Speaker 1: able to get that because a lot of there are
4:18
Speaker 1: a lot of teams that do it.
4:19
Speaker 3: They've just done it.
4:21
Speaker 1: They did it well today and it confused us a
4:23
Speaker 1: few times in the red zone, not just the quarterback,
4:26
Speaker 1: but the routes and kind of how those things end
4:29
Speaker 1: up playing out when you think you're getting one coverage
4:32
Speaker 1: on the snap of the ball and then it changes.
4:36
Speaker 3: Had a target.
4:37
Speaker 8: It was a deep ball down the.
4:40
Speaker 1: Yeah, so they were showing man coverage is exactly what
4:43
Speaker 1: it was, and they flipped it to a Cover two. Really,
4:47
Speaker 1: I think it was Cover eight, which we call quarter
4:48
Speaker 1: quarter half to the field or to the nickel side,
4:51
Speaker 1: and the weak safety didn't push enough.
4:54
Speaker 3: We had them down the pipe. We just got to
4:56
Speaker 3: throw and catch.
4:56
Speaker 1: But you know, those are the ones that for him
4:59
Speaker 1: to see, for tr to see those, it's great experience
5:02
Speaker 1: before we actually get going into the season.
5:04
Speaker 3: So, yeah, I want to hit it. I want to
5:06
Speaker 3: hit it today more than anything.
5:07
Speaker 1: But now we can look at it, learn from it,
5:10
Speaker 1: and then apply it into the next setting.
5:12
Speaker 8: I was gonna ask you about your running backs tooting
5:15
Speaker 8: look great today. Where are you at and shaping how
5:17
Speaker 8: that backfield committee's going to work?
5:19
Speaker 3: And yeah, we're still right in the think of it.
5:21
Speaker 1: Honestly, I mean, I think that we've seen great things
5:23
Speaker 1: from all four of those guys. Really knowing that it's
5:27
Speaker 1: going to be darn near impossible to have four with
5:29
Speaker 1: a jersey on game day.
5:31
Speaker 3: That's the challenge that we have to work through over.
5:34
Speaker 4: The next few weeks. You know, he did.
5:37
Speaker 1: I thought he had a better day than he did
5:39
Speaker 1: yesterday at practice. He stepped it up a little bit
5:42
Speaker 1: better today. You know, one and four got some got
5:45
Speaker 1: some quality work. But they've continued to kind of do
5:48
Speaker 1: the right thing for us, and and then Quinn Man
5:50
Speaker 1: in past protection continues to do a nice job. So
5:53
Speaker 1: we've got some work to do over the next few
5:55
Speaker 1: weeks here before Carolina to figure out who's going to
5:58
Speaker 1: get a jersey, and special teams has a lot to
5:59
Speaker 1: do that as well.
6:00
Speaker 8: Sure, anything you can take away from what happened with
6:03
Speaker 8: your backfield last year that you can apply to how
6:06
Speaker 8: you figure it shaking out this year.
6:09
Speaker 1: It's hard to keep a lot of them happy, but
6:11
Speaker 1: if they understand that injuries are going to occur, things
6:16
Speaker 1: are going to happen. And what we learned last year
6:18
Speaker 1: in time was you need three like you need three
6:21
Speaker 1: good ones that you can feel I can go and
6:24
Speaker 1: step in and your offense doesn't change. That is kind
6:28
Speaker 1: of what we were trying to do with, you know,
6:30
Speaker 1: acquiring those two in the draft, was make sure that
6:32
Speaker 1: we have a stable Is it sometimes hard to keep
6:35
Speaker 1: them all happy?
6:36
Speaker 3: Sure, but I'd rather have more than less.
6:39
Speaker 9: When Brian raise his game in a setting like this
6:42
Speaker 9: and one of the few examples of it so far,
6:45
Speaker 9: how unusual is that because we've seen the other way. Obviously,
6:48
Speaker 9: guys play well in the practice field and not play
6:50
Speaker 9: well in those games. But is it an unusual trait
6:53
Speaker 9: that you've seen as a code.
6:54
Speaker 3: It is a little. You would absolutely prefer that.
6:57
Speaker 1: Then shoot, you see so many whether it's quarterbacks or
7:02
Speaker 1: any position, look great in practice or in roa and
7:05
Speaker 1: it's great, and then when the bullets start flying, they
7:08
Speaker 1: can't play the game. So you would much prefer that.
7:12
Speaker 1: My only challenge to him is, and it has been, is, well,
7:16
Speaker 1: think about what if you can become a dominant player
7:19
Speaker 1: in practice, what will that actually do to your game?
7:23
Speaker 1: Knowing that shooting. You're not surprising anybody this year. They're
7:27
Speaker 1: all gonna know who you are. You're gonna see different
7:29
Speaker 1: defensive structures and coverages and doubles. And for you to
7:33
Speaker 1: be able to dominate every single day you walk on
7:36
Speaker 1: the grass, regardless of who is against you will get
7:39
Speaker 1: better and he needs to continue to get better if
7:41
Speaker 1: he wants to go where he wants to go.
7:43
Speaker 4: Is gonna play some of the starters? He doesn't say
7:45
Speaker 4: how long? What's your plan?
7:47
Speaker 1: Yeah, we are not going to play our starters. You know,
7:51
Speaker 1: it's we got them the two weeks of work in
7:53
Speaker 1: the first two games. You know, in an ideal world,
7:57
Speaker 1: looking back like you, if you had the joints earlier on,
8:00
Speaker 1: you wouldn't play. And whenn't playing, maybe a series in
8:02
Speaker 1: the third And that's what we did in Tampa last year,
8:04
Speaker 1: and I liked it. But you know, it'll be a
8:07
Speaker 1: lot of young guys getting some quality work. And there's
8:09
Speaker 1: a lot of guys that we we got to that
8:11
Speaker 1: are gonna play, that are fighting for a roster spot
8:14
Speaker 1: or fighting for a roster spot potentially on somebody else's team.
8:17
Speaker 1: And so this is valuable tape, a great challenge that's
8:21
Speaker 1: something we're gonna obviously go up against. We're all gonna
8:23
Speaker 1: go up against, and but it's a good opportunity for
8:26
Speaker 1: those guys as well in.
8:28
Speaker 4: A lot of ways.
8:28
Speaker 6: Is that pay kind of in the barn in terms
8:30
Speaker 6: of who you're envisioning for the fifty three other guys
8:32
Speaker 6: you have right now?
8:33
Speaker 1: I think you know the guys that are on our team.
8:35
Speaker 1: I think there's a lot of there's clarity. You know,
8:38
Speaker 1: there's definitely gonna I would I would assume there's probably
8:41
Speaker 1: gonna be some players on other people's rosters that will
8:44
Speaker 1: be on our roster. I mean, that's the reality of
8:46
Speaker 1: this thing. So you know, at multiple positions, we have
8:50
Speaker 1: guys that are either on the border or hey man,
8:53
Speaker 1: we're gonna have to go and look elsewhere when the
8:55
Speaker 1: time comes. And that's just the reality of this time
8:58
Speaker 1: that we're in this phase. But there are some guys
9:01
Speaker 1: that are going to be playing this weekend that are
9:02
Speaker 1: fighting for roster spots.
9:04
Speaker 3: Brian Thomas two ways he helps you win.
9:07
Speaker 8: Number One obvious the speed and everything else that gives
9:09
Speaker 8: you a receiver, but also his ability to draw double
9:12
Speaker 8: coverage and get other guys open underneath. How do you
9:14
Speaker 8: weigh those two things when it comes to the whole
9:16
Speaker 8: passing games.
9:16
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was something that we saw in LA with
9:19
Speaker 1: Cooper A lot was you can kind of dictate some
9:22
Speaker 1: things knowing that you know maybe what their answer will be.
9:25
Speaker 1: And then last year with Mike Evans that that was
9:28
Speaker 1: so much of our red zone game plan was based
9:31
Speaker 1: on him. It was like, all right, put them over
9:34
Speaker 1: there three by one. If they double him, we should
9:37
Speaker 1: have numbers to the front side or run it. If
9:40
Speaker 1: they single them, well the ball needs to go there.
9:43
Speaker 1: And that was a lot of kind of what we
9:45
Speaker 1: tried to do, whether it was red zone, third down,
9:47
Speaker 1: whatever it is. So it's a challenge for him, it's
9:50
Speaker 1: a challenge for us as coaches to be able to, Okay,
9:54
Speaker 1: he is getting doubled, we need to move him so
9:57
Speaker 1: that he doesn't get a double, or let's use it
10:00
Speaker 1: as a decoy here to allow get somebody else to
10:02
Speaker 1: match up that maybe favorable.
10:04
Speaker 10: Excuse me for us speaking individually, there's a couple couple
10:08
Speaker 10: throws I missed and then just a couple of miscommunications,
10:12
Speaker 10: you know, And it's good to go against a different defense.
10:14
Speaker 4: We've been going against our defense all camp.
10:15
Speaker 10: So just to see different looks, different disguises, to have
10:19
Speaker 10: to really play each play as its own and go
10:20
Speaker 10: back to some of our base rules as good for
10:22
Speaker 10: us as an offense, and kind of just measuring stick like, hey,
10:25
Speaker 10: this is where we're at.
10:26
Speaker 4: This is kind of what we showed today. Let's like
10:28
Speaker 4: learn from it and get better. So I think that's
10:30
Speaker 4: just an honest assessment of the day.
10:31
Speaker 10: There's some stuff to clean up, but I thought guys
10:34
Speaker 10: competed hard, flew around.
10:36
Speaker 4: Just got to clean up some of the details, the
10:38
Speaker 4: type of.
10:38
Speaker 8: New challenges to adult this defense present to you that
10:41
Speaker 8: you're kind of happy to see because you haven't faced
10:44
Speaker 8: someone else.
10:45
Speaker 4: Yeah, they do some great stuff. I think, just some
10:47
Speaker 4: of the disguises they do.
10:49
Speaker 10: You get used to playing against your own defense and
10:51
Speaker 10: you see kind of the same disguises, so you start
10:53
Speaker 10: to pick up on certain things and you can protect it.
10:56
Speaker 10: But when you're seeing things for the first time, because
10:58
Speaker 10: you can't really game plan all the time, when it's
11:00
Speaker 10: preseason and joint practice, you don't know what they're gonna do.
11:03
Speaker 10: They could do new stuff, so it's coming out here.
11:05
Speaker 10: Just like that's why I said, having to play and
11:07
Speaker 10: then react to Sometimes you get in some bad situations
11:09
Speaker 10: because you might have sent the protection one way, they
11:11
Speaker 10: bring the pressure the other way, and then what do
11:13
Speaker 10: you do from there as a quarterback with the ball?
11:15
Speaker 10: But also guys run the routes. How do they run
11:16
Speaker 10: their routes? Speed them up? All those things and we
11:18
Speaker 10: had some great looks you know that didn't all go
11:20
Speaker 10: our way, but that we'll learn from.
11:22
Speaker 9: Where you've been through five of these camps. Now, how
11:24
Speaker 9: do you process the ups and downs, the softy play
11:27
Speaker 9: versus the good stuff, and how you feel going now
11:30
Speaker 9: into the regular season with the games and camp done.
11:34
Speaker 4: I feel good.
11:34
Speaker 10: I think are the work we've put in will show
11:37
Speaker 10: during the season. The work we put in during camp.
11:39
Speaker 10: Today wasn't our best showing. But you know, Grant made
11:42
Speaker 10: a great point to the quarterbacks after practice. At the
11:44
Speaker 10: end of the day, we're not gonna be judged on
11:46
Speaker 10: how today went. You know that this is just today,
11:48
Speaker 10: and you put it in a box, you learn from it,
11:50
Speaker 10: you move on. That doesn't determine what we do in
11:51
Speaker 10: Week one versus Carolina, just like tomorrow won't determine necessarily
11:55
Speaker 10: what we do in Carolina. It's just an accumulation of
11:57
Speaker 10: all the days and taking all the information in and
12:00
Speaker 10: learning from it, growing from it, and understanding that it's
12:02
Speaker 10: all making us better to get us to a place
12:04
Speaker 10: to where by week one ready to go and there's
12:08
Speaker 10: you know, we're counting down the days now, there's not
12:10
Speaker 10: many more prices left. So he made a great point
12:11
Speaker 10: of just you know, making every rep count and that
12:14
Speaker 10: doesn't mean that it's going to be perfect, but really
12:16
Speaker 10: learning from it and being focused and dialed in and
12:18
Speaker 10: having a standard for how we play.
12:21
Speaker 2: Knowing you're kind of counting down the days to week one,
12:23
Speaker 2: but there's still a lot of work left to be done.
12:26
Speaker 10: Yeah, it's just taking it one day at a time truly.
12:29
Speaker 10: I mean it's a cliche, but it really is. That's
12:31
Speaker 10: what you have to do in camp when you feel
12:33
Speaker 10: that you feel this season right around the corner and
12:35
Speaker 10: kind of now we're going to be after this, after
12:37
Speaker 10: this game against Miami, we'll be in that little awkward
12:39
Speaker 10: phase right between like game planning and you know camp,
12:43
Speaker 10: like you're right in between it. So you know, I
12:46
Speaker 10: think the good teams take care of business that week
12:49
Speaker 10: and really find ways to get better.
12:50
Speaker 4: We might not start game planning. We might start game.
12:52
Speaker 10: Planning a little bit, but make those reps count and
12:55
Speaker 10: take care of our bodies and really maximize all the
12:58
Speaker 10: days that we do have.
13:00
Speaker 8: Bit about Brian's ability to step up when there's a
13:03
Speaker 8: real competition going on out there, is that something.
13:06
Speaker 7: You trust him?
13:07
Speaker 4: Yeah, for sure. I mean you've seen him do it enough.
13:10
Speaker 10: I think there's you know, you've just seen a guy
13:13
Speaker 10: make a ton of plays when it matters and when
13:16
Speaker 10: the when the lights are bright, I guess, so to speak.
13:18
Speaker 10: You know, he he comes to play and guy, I
13:20
Speaker 10: have a lot of trust and I think our relationship
13:22
Speaker 10: has grown a lot this off season in this camp.
13:24
Speaker 10: So it's exciting to feel that relationship coming along, and
13:28
Speaker 10: not just on the field but off the field, because
13:29
Speaker 10: I think it all ties in together. The more you
13:31
Speaker 10: know someone, the more chemistry you have, the more you
13:34
Speaker 10: can talk to someone in a certain way to see
13:35
Speaker 10: what's going on. And I think that's been one of
13:37
Speaker 10: the best parts about camp for me, is building those
13:39
Speaker 10: relationships with guys like Brian and guys like Travis and
13:43
Speaker 10: you know, Parker's been here, but Diami like guys that
13:45
Speaker 10: are newer. I think it's been really.
13:47
Speaker 9: Good how do you feel physically coming off all this
13:52
Speaker 9: stuff in last year, and how do you feel.
13:54
Speaker 4: Like you're throwing it.
13:55
Speaker 10: I feel really good physically. I feel very good. Shoulder
13:59
Speaker 10: haven't had any issues, so my body feels good. I
14:01
Speaker 10: think I've thrown it really well in camp. You know,
14:04
Speaker 10: like I said, miss a couple today, go back watch
14:06
Speaker 10: the tape. See some of the fundamentals. Can sometimes get
14:08
Speaker 10: a little out of whack when you start seeing some
14:10
Speaker 10: different pressures and stuff, So it'll be good to learn
14:12
Speaker 10: from the tape. But I really feel like I'm throwing
14:14
Speaker 10: it well and just got to continue that, you know,
14:16
Speaker 10: going into week one, and like I said, to care
14:18
Speaker 10: of my body.
14:19
Speaker 4: And Coach has done a great job with the camp schedule.
14:21
Speaker 10: I think he's he's pushed us, but he's kept us
14:24
Speaker 10: fresh enough to where we still get good work and
14:25
Speaker 10: guys are raid to roll and feel fresh.
14:29
Speaker 4: Things got chippy a couple of times.
14:30
Speaker 3: Is it kind of a positive?
14:32
Speaker 7: Without me going too far to see.
14:33
Speaker 6: That edge, that kind of competitiveness, wouldn't see a team
14:35
Speaker 6: on the other side of you guys.
14:37
Speaker 4: For sure.
14:37
Speaker 10: I mean there's times where you got to get the
14:39
Speaker 10: work in and it's like all right, guy, let's come on,
14:40
Speaker 10: let's get some work in, you know.
14:41
Speaker 4: But that goes both ways.
14:42
Speaker 10: And I think if you it's something you want in
14:45
Speaker 10: your team, you're not gonna get pushed around. So it's
14:48
Speaker 10: you never want to encourage fighting. But they're all, can
14:52
Speaker 10: you guys hear me?
14:53
Speaker 4: Still? I don't know.
14:54
Speaker 10: Let's probably messing us up. But every team should be
14:57
Speaker 10: saying the same thing. It's like, you don't encourage fighting.
14:59
Speaker 10: What's almost gonna fight. You don't just you don't just
15:02
Speaker 10: let that happen to your teammate, Let that happen to yourself.
15:05
Speaker 10: You know, you know, you're never the nail. So I
15:07
Speaker 10: think the both teams kind of showed that today and
15:09
Speaker 10: you see some pushback and that's fine, Like we gotta
15:11
Speaker 10: keep it between the lines, but there's gonna be some
15:14
Speaker 10: of that, and I think that's part of the support.
15:15
Speaker 4: Is a violent sport.
15:17
Speaker 2: How valuable like each one of these reps is, But
15:19
Speaker 2: for a guy you're trying to get the time and
15:21
Speaker 2: down with, like Travis Hunters missed a couple of days
15:23
Speaker 2: at how valuable is the time? I know he's kind
15:26
Speaker 2: of been getting those mental reps on the side, but
15:28
Speaker 2: how much I guess extra worker are gonna have to
15:31
Speaker 2: do to kind of make sure that you're there with
15:32
Speaker 2: him when it breaks up.
15:35
Speaker 10: Yeah, I think you know, we've gotten a lot of
15:36
Speaker 10: extra work just throughout the offseason, after practice whatever, because
15:40
Speaker 10: you know, he's been doing both of their stays where
15:42
Speaker 10: we missed some reps. So we've been trying to keep
15:44
Speaker 10: up with with that already, but even more so now
15:47
Speaker 10: that he's missed some time. So hopefully we'll get him
15:50
Speaker 10: back out there running around really soon and can kind
15:53
Speaker 10: of make up some some ground that we might have missed.
15:55
Speaker 10: I mean, the offense is in, so I wouldn't say
15:58
Speaker 10: he necessarily missed a lot installation.
16:00
Speaker 4: Guys, we've already put everything in.
16:01
Speaker 10: It's just more so getting him back used to hearing everything,
16:05
Speaker 10: because you know, when you're out for a little bit
16:07
Speaker 10: sometimes the brain gets a little foggy.
16:08
Speaker 4: So just making sure he's sharp and ready to go.
16:10
Speaker 10: And then there is a couple of routes that we
16:13
Speaker 10: haven't got to throw a ton of this spring just
16:15
Speaker 10: because of the limited time, so just working those on air,
16:18
Speaker 10: really just timing stuff.
16:19
Speaker 4: You know, Then when it comes to.
16:21
Speaker 10: Man coveraging him going and winning and making a play.
16:23
Speaker 10: I'm not as worried about that. It's gonna give him
16:24
Speaker 10: a good throw.
16:25
Speaker 1: You had mentioned earlier just about building a relationship with
16:28
Speaker 1: guys off.
16:28
Speaker 8: I'm curious thing that it's first pop season, the first
16:31
Speaker 8: training camp, the first of curious season.
16:32
Speaker 3: Liam is, how your relationship has been filmed.
16:34
Speaker 4: Over this Me and Liam? Yeah, it's been awesome. I
16:37
Speaker 4: think just the communication. He's very forward up front, you know,
16:42
Speaker 4: the way he communicates is very direct.
16:44
Speaker 10: It's been it's been awesome having him around, and he
16:46
Speaker 10: talks to me between a lot of plays at practice.
16:49
Speaker 10: After practice, he'll pop in our room, we'll talk about stuff.
16:52
Speaker 10: I think obviously that's a there's something to that. It's
16:55
Speaker 10: getting on the same page as your head coach one.
16:58
Speaker 10: But also he's the play caller too, so like those
17:00
Speaker 10: things are that relationship is really important, and knowing how
17:03
Speaker 10: to how that back and forth goes, because there's some
17:06
Speaker 10: things that you might see a little bit different because
17:07
Speaker 10: I'm the one playing.
17:08
Speaker 4: He sees it from a wider view.
17:10
Speaker 10: And we've had some good instances where we've had to, hey,
17:13
Speaker 10: talk about some stuff where it's like I didn't really
17:14
Speaker 10: see it that way, and then we get on the
17:16
Speaker 10: same page. So that's what camp's for us, what the
17:18
Speaker 10: off seasons for iron out some of those things. And
17:20
Speaker 10: he's been awesome. He's taught me a lot, a lot
17:22
Speaker 10: about ball and excited to to really start the year more.
17:27
Speaker 4: Thanks, Thank y'all.
17:29
Speaker 2: How much when you learn about the defense to your teammates,
17:32
Speaker 2: the whole group as a whole, competing in an atmosphere.
17:34
Speaker 5: Like this, how resilient they are. Uh, it was hot,
17:37
Speaker 5: we were doing special teams and the periods was coming
17:39
Speaker 5: fast and then we you know, it was it was
17:41
Speaker 5: back to back to back. We didn't have the offense
17:42
Speaker 5: go and then we went. It was just you know, periods,
17:44
Speaker 5: just us going. So the way they fought and went
17:47
Speaker 5: out there and handled business, I mean, it means everything,
17:49
Speaker 5: especially in this kind of environment.
17:51
Speaker 7: It was hot, muggy, and we did we just got
17:53
Speaker 7: after it. So I'm I'm I'm happy with you know
17:55
Speaker 7: what we did.
17:56
Speaker 5: Like I said, it's it's always something to improve some
17:58
Speaker 5: always something that we can get better it.
18:00
Speaker 7: But I think we're sending it in the right way.
18:03
Speaker 9: Scuffles on the day two of a joint practice, guys
18:05
Speaker 9: got into a few at me almost.
18:07
Speaker 7: Like to see, Yeah, I think coach I think Coach
18:09
Speaker 7: Liam likes that.
18:10
Speaker 5: Man like a little scuffle and then you know, uh,
18:12
Speaker 5: the excitement will we get to see them want so
18:15
Speaker 5: we gotta get it in.
18:15
Speaker 7: You gotta get it in.
18:16
Speaker 5: So I was happy that, you know, guys were protecting
18:19
Speaker 5: each other going over there and not just letting guys
18:21
Speaker 5: go out there and you know, fight for themselves. So
18:24
Speaker 5: just being together, that's really what it's about. Just making
18:27
Speaker 5: sure whatever we do is as a unit. And I
18:29
Speaker 5: was happy with that for sure.
18:30
Speaker 6: You look forward to practice like this, just doing the
18:32
Speaker 6: competitiveness is gonna be up a little bit.
18:34
Speaker 7: Yeah, I wanna practice.
18:35
Speaker 5: I want to play against anybody, honestly, just getting looks,
18:38
Speaker 5: you know, shoppening my craft, you know, that's that's something
18:41
Speaker 5: I always want to do. Just making sure that you know,
18:43
Speaker 5: I'm I'm ready for the season and I'm ready to
18:45
Speaker 5: you know, go out there and compete with the best.
18:46
Speaker 5: So this is a good, you know, benchmark for us
18:49
Speaker 5: to see, you know, against the especially our unit, against
18:51
Speaker 5: a fast group of good guys that that can get
18:53
Speaker 5: the ball and be explosive.
18:54
Speaker 7: So I feel like we did pretty good.
18:57
Speaker 4: Back there a lot.
18:58
Speaker 6: How much does it help you at a corner.
18:59
Speaker 5: Just having guys like that up front everything, Uh, it
19:01
Speaker 5: just rupts the time of the offense and the rest
19:03
Speaker 5: of the disrupt the timement of the quarterback and make
19:06
Speaker 5: sure that you know he he knows that he has
19:08
Speaker 5: a time and it's in his head. He gotta get
19:09
Speaker 5: his ball out. So that means I can look at
19:11
Speaker 5: the quarterback. You know, some sit on a few routes
19:13
Speaker 5: and things like that, but he makes the whole defense.
19:15
Speaker 5: They make the whole defense, you know, better and and
19:17
Speaker 5: it makes our job easier. So I appreciate those guys
19:19
Speaker 5: going out there and hunting and you know, not just
19:21
Speaker 5: being one dimensional, you know, stopping and running things like that,
19:23
Speaker 5: which I feel like we.
19:24
Speaker 7: Did really good today too.
19:27
Speaker 2: How close is the defense to where it needs to
19:29
Speaker 2: be for week one?
19:30
Speaker 4: Uh?
19:30
Speaker 7: We just gotta keep as sending man, that's all we think.
19:32
Speaker 7: That's all we worried about.
19:33
Speaker 5: Just keep getting better and you know wherever, uh the
19:36
Speaker 5: chips lie when when the first week goes it is.
19:39
Speaker 7: But I feel like I'm really confident in this team,
19:42
Speaker 7: this defense.
19:43
Speaker 5: I'm confident in our ability and our coaches, you know,
19:45
Speaker 5: to put us in the right situation. So I'm I'm
19:47
Speaker 5: I'm extremely like I'm extremely I'm extremely glad.
19:50
Speaker 7: To you know, see where we are right now. But
19:52
Speaker 7: like I said, it's always room for improvement.
19:55
Speaker 9: Confidence within, don't like what you're seeing the you move,
20:00
Speaker 9: what you guys are trying to do, because obviously to
20:02
Speaker 9: the outside you're not showing everything that this defense is
20:04
Speaker 9: going to be. So so they're almost like a quiet
20:06
Speaker 9: confidencelf wait until.
20:08
Speaker 5: You I told Marsel the other day, Man, it's about,
20:10
Speaker 5: you know, having faith and believing, just you know, trusting
20:13
Speaker 5: each other, you know that we can do our job
20:15
Speaker 5: and have each other's back and trust that we're gonna
20:17
Speaker 5: do the right things and believing that we can be
20:19
Speaker 5: one of the best defenses in the league. So that's
20:21
Speaker 5: really it just just trusting and believing that we have
20:23
Speaker 5: the right process, we had the right guys in the
20:25
Speaker 5: room to go get the job done.
20:27
Speaker 4: Thanks, appreciate you pro
