  Speaker 1: All right, good to see everybody. Day two down. It's
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: another good day of work again. Just looking forward to
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: seeing seeing the tape. But the guys came out ready
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: to practice as hot hotter today. But we got through
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: as strong and look forward to watching it and good day.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: Looked like the defense was happening. A pretty good day.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: Would you like about the way they were able to
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: read what Tennessee did different? Yeah, we you know, we
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: watched yesterday's tap and there was a lot of good
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: things on tape. But there's a lot of things that
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: are room for improvement on really both sides of the ball.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: But we had a good meeting yesterday. Guys came out focused,
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: so it felt like we addressed most of those things.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: Uh but again, look I can't really tell, but think
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: we're making plays on the football, which was really nice. Guys.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: Seemed like we were on top of things in the
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: red zone, which you know, things move faster, especially against
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: a new offense, new schemes, things you haven't seen, so
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: that was that was encouraging. Looked like you did a
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: lot more different situations today like kickoff. Yes, say you
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: did play it, so you kind of tried to get
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: a little bit of everything in during the two days there. Yeah,
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: that was the idea on both sides of the ball,
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: special teams wise. And then yesterday was more of an
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: early downa day with some third down stuff. Today we
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: did some more another early down type period and then
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: more red zone and then we did it. We finished
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: there with the two minutes. So good competitive practice and
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: good situation will work at the same time. Told us
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: that you said if you fight, you can't played the
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: whole preceison. I don't think definitely gonn return, I don't know.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: I don't know where he got that, honestly, I don't
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: know where he got that. Yeah, yeah, well how we
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: handled it. I'll keep that like in house. But the
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: guys realize, just like we said yesterday, like we're gonna
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: be evaluated on what shows up on tape, and if
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: we're getting into fights and we're not keeping our composure,
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: that's not the best for us with a team. God forbid.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: Somebody got hurt during that time, which is just totally unnecessary.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: Things you want to avoid. And uh, the guys did
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: a great job, you know. And again like two days
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: you know, practicing, it's the same team. Things get a
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: little heated going to the same guys. You watch the
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: tape from the day before, you know, people are getting
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: charged up. So it's but it's good, you know. It's Uh.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: The guys did a great job of keeping their posier
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: and we got a lot of good work in today.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: Christian Hayes what the ones to say? Right guard? I
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: guess what was the thought there? Yeah, man, Like I
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: always said from the beginning, it's it's a competition. So
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: I wanted to see what Christian could do with the
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: ones when you look back at sorry, the actual access
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: already though, when you look back at yesterday's offensive team,
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: I'll I'll build generic here, but a lot of a
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: lot of good things watching it with the guys hit
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: our explosive mark. But there's a lot of room for
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: improvement too, And I think on both sides of the ball.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: It's hey, there's a lot of scheme in how good
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: at the details? Can we really nail down and be
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: and be sharp and also be able to play the
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: way that we want to play is what we're chasing
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: right now. So uh again, I was with defense again
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: all today. So I can't wait to watch watch offense
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: and see see where we improved. How's peril Brown, I'm
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: not sure you got a foot and we're we're That's
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: about all we know at this point. Gosh, do you
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: know anything more about German? M uh No. I think
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: we're still trying to figure it out. But he's is
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: back locked up, so we'll kind of see where he
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: goes from here. I don't think it's I don't think
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: it's major. Though. You've talked a lot about Spoon in
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: this camp and just kind of the fun back and
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: forth that you guys have, Like when you see him
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: out there that level competitive guess, what do you think
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: that does for him? Just the sort of the nature
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: he plays with, Well, that's Spoon. I mean, I know
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: we we do the joking thing back and forth, and
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: but we do. We love him and he is a
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: great player and we expect great things out of him,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: and uh, you know, for him to make plays on
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: the ball like he did today, that's I mean, that's
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: what where our team, that's what our team needs, and
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: that's you know, we're happy for him when they make
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: those because he's he's working his tail off. It's very
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: detail oriented, like he does not make the same mistake
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: twice and uh, and he's doing a great job. So
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: just happy for him to, you know, have some production
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: on the ball, and you know it helps our team too,
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: which is nice final period thing. Now we knew what
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: the situation was just a two minute a little slanted
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: towards the defense and the offense needed to touch down
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: both for go sixty yards and at about a minute ten.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: So but it's good work. You know, when you use
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: your timeout, it's how you get on the ball. Things
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: like that. What did you say as you said this,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: probably the most answers get flunkrom this ship, and just
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: how the scans I thought, you know, it has done
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: a great job, especially today. Again I want to see
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: it today, but in two minutes. There's a couple of
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: things we'll talk about situationally, but I thought uz on
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: point it was sharp. Yesterday's making good decisions. Today with
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: some more situation on red zone work, we'll see, we'll
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: see what the up. But the word is is that
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: we sounds like we did some good things down there,
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: so looking forward to that. How did you feel the
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: on field communication, what the defense was these got the
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: last a couple of days. I thought today was better
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: than yesterday. You know, we have a standard of how
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: we want to communicate here and we didn't meet it yesterday,
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: and I felt like the guys were, you know, had
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: more sensorency out there. You know, when you get lined
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: up and you know, if if you communicate the right way,
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: it's a lot easier to play, and that means you're
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: confident and h pretty sure in the history of football,
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: there hasn't been a good quiet defense. So time. Oh yeah, yeah,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: remember the close your eyes here the play thing to
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: try it. That's pretty It's a fun little exercise. Who
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: was the game changer that really like to to step
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: up and led the team to talk more about I
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: just think I'm just I'm just you know, it's your
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: second day, you're practicing at eight am your time. There's
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: a lot of things going on. The mentality to come
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: out and practice and be sharp and try to try
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: to put our best foot forward and improve. I think
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: you see that across the board, especially with the vets.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: So a single one person out it's probably doesn't do
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: everybody else justice. Draymond Jollis do anything, will record no
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: same thing. Just yesterday, we're working through that. There we go. Thanks,
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: Thanks
