• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Do you think you were scoring on that run like
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: like seventy five percent of the run, Yes, and then
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: uh felt it closing in on me and then uh
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: kind of was too late to slide and just kind
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: of had to go on to a little bit.
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: I wanted to.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: Maybe someday Jakes Bovo catching two touchdowns from the kind
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: a little bit of hesitation step on that screen and
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: then we can see him return.
• 0:29
  Speaker 3: A punt for twenty yards.
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, what can you.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: Say about what he brings to the brings to the
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: table on offense and special teams?
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I know for me.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: When he's out there, just you feel comfortable knowing you
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: got him out there one on one chance on the touchdown,
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: that's the guy you're going to go to. Super reliable,
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: extremely good at just getting open, working leverage with defenders
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: and knowing how to get open. But like you said,
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: returning upunt, just a versatile guy that you know we're
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: lucky to have.
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: That first touchdown was obviously more about the run after
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: the catch catch itself.
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: But how good are his hands? Very good?
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: Like I said, just confident with him out there throwing
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: in the ball, whether that's here here, here, here in
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: the rain, whatever it may be, he's gonna he's gonna
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: get it.
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: Can you sam at that run game today and what
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: that did for the offense.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: I mean even that first drive I was in, I
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: threw one pass and it was the the five yard
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: screen of Bobo only scored. But like, you know, if
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: we can do that, you know, throw one pass and
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: it's inside the five or at the five speaks wonders
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: to you know, those guys up front and our backs
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: working tracks every day in practice. Dude, those guys are
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: They're on their p's and q's right now. It's preseason
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: week two. We got a long ways to go in this,
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: but it's a good it's a good foundation.
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: Sorry, you were here when the offense said they wanted
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: to run, but they didn't commit to it like this
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: one is What are the differences for you as a
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: quarterback and an offense?
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: What to give you that you didn't have your first
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: go round?
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: You know, I think kind of like I said the
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: week before, just being able to establish a run like that,
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: forcing them to maybe play a little more single high
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: man looks loading the box up, giving guys one on
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: one chances instead of you know, dropping back and uh passing.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: Into big zones. One other thing.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: I mean, if you're loading the box and we're running
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: that running the rock the way we were, our play
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: action pass will be really good. It's just complimentary football
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: and it starts as a run, and you know, we
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: believe in that.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: How would you evaluate your growth and your uh performance
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: from last week to this week?
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there was definitely growth. Taking care of the ball,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: keeping in our hands, you know, getting the ball out
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: on time, progressing through reads, working up in the pocket
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: to be able to scramble and you know, maybe make
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: some more plays to my feet. There's definitely you know,
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: progression from from week to week. I got to keep
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: doing it every week.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: Though you were here a couple of years ago.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: With dray Kyev's been a big special teams guy, but
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: it seems like he's kind of made a lead on
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: offense this year.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: What have you seen that him?
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, I've talked to him one on one
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: about just his you know, progression from mainly special teams
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: and you know, becoming a reliable receiver for us.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: He's done a great job.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: I missed that year obviously last year, but the difference
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: in my second year here to what he is now
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: that little gap of a year that I wasn't with him.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: It's miles ahead of what I remember and testament to
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: how hard he works. It's one of those guys that
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: just puts his head down, r works and uh not
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: gonna get a ton of hoo. We're out of him
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: and uh he's gonna come out and play his plays
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: pot off.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: Uh did you have you seen who tackle Brady Rustle yet?
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: I talked to Brady about that. He thought he was
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: getting in the zone. I thought he's getting the zone.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: But no, he's he's a little he's a little beat
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: up about that one. Right now, he'll uh come back.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: We'll make him run some some sprints after practice to
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: get those legs going.
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: Do you see that many explosive runs kind of come together.
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: What does that speak to the play of the offensive
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: line you're kind of seeing in front of you and
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: the way that whole operation's kind of going right now?
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: Man it it it's really impressive. Like I said, it's
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: it's week two preseason. Kind of keep the focus on
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: getting better day today, but come out here and being
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: able to do that kind of like I said before too,
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: just mixing in groups, different tackles, different cards, different centers,
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: maybe even different than the group that you would have
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: been working with in practice, in the training camp style
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: practice that we're having.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: There's just one right now, you know, making.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: Calls, going to the right guys and really working off
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: each other, which is which is really cool to see
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: this early.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: We gotta keep going, we gotta keep doing it.
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: But after a couple of weeks of seeing Gray's abel
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: working pads, now, what do you make of him as
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: a rookie lineman up there and seems like he's able
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: to move guys pretty well and kind of seeing that work.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I you know, being able to watch him because
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: obviously he's with Sam during the week when I'm not
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: watching Sam watching the old line when it's a run
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: and he's he's been impressive. I think what's more impressive
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: is just who he is off the field. He's fun,
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: jokes around, like one of those classic like O linman
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: with a stash.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: You know, he's just he's an.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: Offensive lineman of heart and you know the bush light
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: thing when he got a drafting.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: All right, you're playing the old linman good right now.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: I got to see it in person, and it's he's
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: living up to it.
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: Do you feel like there's more personality there that's gonna
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: show up when he's not a rookie league.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: Yes, I've seen it every week.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: Wrapped him in on a on a joke and uh,
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: he went right for it, didn't second guess it.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: It's like all right, yeah, I'll go do that like awesome.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you're you're a good rookie, You're fun to be around.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: And uh, he's heck of a football player too.
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: With Zach, I mean we see him show up every
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: day and we see the results on the field. What
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: do we not see behind the scenes that puts him
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: in position to do that?
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'd say every time I come in the locker room,
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: his locker is like three or four down from mine.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: There's amount of time that he's not on his iPad.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: I don't get to see what it is. But our
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: iPads are pretty secure.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: It's gonna be exo, so it's gonna be teamwork. So
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: he's in his book, he studies, and when you're at practice,
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: you guys have seen it. It's one hundred miles per
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: hour twenty four seven and uh, you know that translates
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: into games.
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: Drew before you and Sam tonight just talk about the
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: importance of getting the ball out on time and the
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: improvement when has helped both if you use that fularity.
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: Is that a drill you're doing or yeah, I know.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: I for me, it has a lot to do with coaching,
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: you know, not not letting it slide when it's good.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: Coaching in the good and coaching in the bad.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: You see it.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: Slip a little bit when you start playing well, and
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: that has not been the case with with the QB room.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: Genoaks and and Kubiak have both been very very you know,
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: detail oriented about our feet when the ball is supposed.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: To come out one, two, three outlet.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: Run QB through like it's it's a very sound system
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: and it's it's really fun to be in. Is that not?
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: I mean, I think from the outside we would think
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: that every coach is gonna drill footwork and timing.
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: Is that just not the case? I really no.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: I mean every quarterback coach, they they they talk about
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: timing and footwork. I would say that there's just certain
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: systems that are it's ultra important. In with this one,
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: you find that it's it's very important and it's just
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: it's over coached and in a great way, like over
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: coach has a bad term for it.
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: But it's coach every single day.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: Like I said in the Good or the Bad, Like
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: complete a ball thirty yards downfield, took a second hitch,
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: you as both sparing your first hitch. We're teaching first
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: hits for a reason, Like, let's lock in on that.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: And that's something that I've had to really really focus on.
