Tyler Lockett: "We've Seen Glimpses Of How Great We Can Be" · Seahawks Press Pass

• 0:02
  Speaker 1: What does the first day of padded practice tell you
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: about where the.
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: Team is at. It's tough because I think, you know,
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: first day of padded practice is like first day of school,
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: you know, so it's like everybody excited. We're still trying
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: to learn the tempo, trying to figure out the physicality
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: as far as what the coaches allow and what they
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: don't want us to do, cause we still gotta be
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: able to protect one another. But I think the defense
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: did a great job today. Uh Obviously, we were able
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: to kind of include all of our installs up to
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: this point today, and I think that the defense showed
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: a lot of variety in their coverages and the blitzes.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: And I think for us, you know, we got to
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: just continue to learn how to be able to communicate
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: to pick those things up. But you know, I think
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: that the defense got after us a little bit today.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: You saw that defense a year agoing Baltimore. You've seen
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: it a little bit out here in practice for the
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: last couple of months. Now, what about it is gonna
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: make it difficult for offenses to play against? Uh?
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: Well, I think after watching Baltimore and playing against them
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: and just kind of being able to understand their scheme.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: They were really great, not just talent wise, but just
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: also in the communication. And I think that we have
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: the same amount of players here that are just as talented,
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: that could be able to.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: Play at a high level, that could be able.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: To blitz, that could be able to play a numerous
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: amount of positions. As you know, I've heard kind of
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: like we got people that play DNS, people that will
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: go to linebackers, So a lot of people can get
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: moved around to a lot of different places, you know,
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: looking at the secondary, I mean, you can move Spoooning
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: around to play nickel, he could play corner.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: He can kind of do it all.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: And so it'll be interesting to see kind of like
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: how the defense, how Mike wants to be able to
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: attack all these other types of offenses. But I think,
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: you know, just when it comes to our defense, it's
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: just going to be communication and just being able to
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: understand the game. When you can understand the game, it
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: doesn't matter what the offense does because you understand their
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: scheme and you understand what it is that they're trying
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: to do to be able to attack them.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: A much better can this defense be this year than
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: it was? Last year.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: I mean, I think it could be a lot better,
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: you know, But at the same time, I think it's
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: all just going to depend on us. Can't always depend
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: on the coaches to be able to get us right,
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: to be able to take us to a place that
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: we want to be able to go. It's just gonna
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: be us, and it's gonna have to be that accountability.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: And I think my biggest thing is at the beginning
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: of camp, everybody wants to play, right, everybody wants to
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: make the team. But what are we gonna look like
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: towards the end of the season. What are we're gonna
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: look like towards the middle of the season, Because that's
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: what's gonna dictate how far this team's going to be
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: able to go. It's not going to be the beginning
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: of the season. It's gonna show you who we are
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: in the middle of the season. But at the end
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: of the season, that's where we got to be where
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: we already wanted to be.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: About the defense, but the offense obviously went through some
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: changes or new all line coach and then obviously the
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: offense coordinator. Yeah, what's your take on it right now?
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, I mean, obviously there was a lot of
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: changes when you compare last year and you look at
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: this year, and I think this year, as we kind
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: of learned the offense, it's a lot different than the
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: offenses that I've been a part of, and you know,
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: the nine years that I've played. I think that Grub
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: has a lot of flexibility when it comes to the
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: usage of the players that he wants to be able
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: to utilize, how he wants guys to be able to
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: get open. I think there's some cool schemes in there
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: that sometimes you don't see unless you unless you kind
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: of do your like alternate stuff in Madden, you know,
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: when you got to alternate routes. So it's kind of
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: cool to be able to see a little bit of
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: the way that they think. And it makes sense why
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: they went to the championship if you ask me, because
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: it's it's so difficult to be able to guard the
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: way that they.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: Passed the ball in their schemes.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: But then when teams think they figured it out, you've
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: got a running back that could be able to rush
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: for a thousand yards and still be able to take
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: the pressure off the passing game. So I think for us,
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: it's just first down if we can be able to
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: get first downs, I think the offense can be able
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: to show a lot of things that haven't been seen before.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: But we got to be able to move the sticks.
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: Just the way practice has run seem really different at
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: all with Mike now feat.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a little different. I mean still kind of
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: trying to get into what it's going to be like.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: But I mean for the most part, you know is different.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: It feels different, and we just got to continue to
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: adapt and continue to learn each other. But I think
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: so far practices have been great. Added practice is always
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: a good lift us test to see where things are,
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: especially when you have.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: A new offense, as you've been talking about.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: But how do you feel about the progress for the
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: office to hold at this point with roughly a little
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: over a month until week one. I mean, looking back
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: at our first four practices, I loved where we were at.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: I think we attacked the defense.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: We exploited a lot of things that we saw we
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: took with the defense gave us.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: We weren't really forcing a lot.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: Of things, And I think for us, it's just being
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: able to do that every single day, not trying to
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: go for the big thing.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Right then, and there. We just got to take what
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: they give us and be able to just.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: Make plays and allow our guys to be able to
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: make plays, because we got guys that are talented that
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: can make a person missing open field or even whenever
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: everything seems like there's no way out, you got somebody
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: like Ken that can make a way had of no
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: way in a sense.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: And so for us, I.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: Think we just got to continue to do what we're doing,
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: continue to build today. You know we could do we
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: could have did a lot better, and I think for us,
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: we just got to continue to grow. It's not about
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: being perfect, but it's just about being able to work
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: to being getting able to get better each and every day.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: Touchdown today stack up with the catches that you've seen
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: in training camp in your career. Oh, I mean I
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: think that was at least top five. I thought it
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: was a great catch. You're talking about the favor route
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: that he had, Yeah, the touchdown at the end, Yeah,
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: I mean that was a tremendous catch. And I mean,
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: like you see it. I mean, you got somebody like
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: Bobo going into a second year that can make big
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: time plays whenever you call his name. And so I
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: think that alone just makes it tough for defenses to
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: figure out what it is that you want to do.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: Like we bring our game to the table and the
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: coaches figure out how to utilize everybody a second year,
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: how much more confident you ready for a sophomore season?
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: Is Jackson looked for you.
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: Guys right now?
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: Well?
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: I think Jack's had an amazing off season when you
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: look at the OTAs and stuff like that, even when
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: you're looking at him at practice, he's making explosive plays
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: each and every day, being able to win his matchups,
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: and those are the things that we're going to be
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: able to need. And I think that he's taking advantage
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: of his opportunities. Like I said, he's making plays and
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: he's really starting to make a name for himself.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: What is your me? That's not a benchmark firm?
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: I mean for me, I still got time to get better,
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: still got time to work on my game.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: Obviously.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: You know a lot of times when you get the
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: year ten, people say, you know you're on the decline.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: But that gives me just enough more energy, if not motivation,
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: just to be able to keep going to take my
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: game to another level. A lot of guys don't even
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: make it past to ten years, or some guys don't
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: even make it past three and a half.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: I think that's the average.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: And so for me just to be able to be
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: at year teen, I mean, that's different stuff that you
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: could be grateful for. That stuff that I could be
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: able to allow to kind of fit into the confidence
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: of my game and say, hey, man, you're in your
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: teen think about how many receivers are out here in
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: your team still being able to be a part of
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: the offense in an effective way, still being able to
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: make the plays and be able to get open. So
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: for me, I'm truly thankful for that and grateful for
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: that and just want to continue to give God the
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: glory every opportunity that I get to play this game.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: You mentioned that, you know, some people have said that
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: you might be on the decline. Do you feel any
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: changes in your body. You're going to be thirty two
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: in September.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: And I mean, really, the only changes I feel is
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: just more maintenance, you know, more taking care of the body.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: It's not like I could just put my stuff on
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: and go out.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: There and just practice like I used to go out
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: there and not even stretch, you know.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: But I think that's the young version of us. Now
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: it's like, all right, you.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: Know, let's go do the massages, Let's go do some
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: of the the chiropractic work, the dry needling, the suction cups,
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: like all those different types of things. To be able
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: to get yourself right, it's just being able to make
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: sure that you stay on top of things and not
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: start when something you know is starting to happen. The
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: biggest part about this game is we all know is
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: availability and it's durability. And if you're not available, then
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: that's when people say, oh, he's getting older. But the
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: more and more you make yourself available to practice, you
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: make yourself available to play in the games. You give
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: yourself a chance to be able to continue to play
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: as long as you.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: Want to play, or how long have you respect the play.
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: You said when they drafted me. I mean I never
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: really had a set number. You know, when people ask
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: me how long I wanted to play, I'd just say
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: eight years. You know, I'd be like eight that sounds
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: like a good number. Obviously, when you're in it, things
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: go a lot faster, and before you know it, I'm
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: looking at year ten and I still feel like I'm
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: twenty two you know, or twenty three. But I got
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: to remind myself you're not and you got to take
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: care of your body, and you gotta do these little
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: things that you may not have had to do in
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: the past to be able to get yourself right. So
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: I still find ways to be effective, still find ways
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: to be able to grind to take my game to
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: another level.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: But you got to be able to be just a little.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: Bit more smart and not allow yourself to have that
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: early wear and tear on your body.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: A newcomer, either on offense or defense that's caught your eye.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: I mean it's hard to just kind of like point
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: out one person. I think Cody White's been having a really,
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: really great camp. I think he's another person that had
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: a spectacular OTAs and you know, we got to see
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: him make a couple of players out there today. Obviously
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: it's hard to make plays because you only have one ball.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: But he's taken advantage of his opportunities. He's winning his
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: one on one matchups, and I think that, you know,
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: slowly but surely, he's given himself a chance to be
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: able to continue to play at this game like he
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: knows he can.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: You played when it was a sixteen game regular season.
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: Now it's obvious he's seventeen, and it seems like the
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: league eventually wants to.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: Get the big team.
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: From a player perspective, what would have to happen to
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: make eighteen games realistic? And does it feel like an
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: inevitability that.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: That's going to happen. I mean, I feel like we
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: really ain't got no choice, you know.
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: To be honest, I think if you add another weekend,
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: it should just be another by week so it's still
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: the same amount of games.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: It's just two bile weeks. I think that's more so fair.
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: But we know that it's probably not gonna end up
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: like that, So I mean, you just kind of gotta
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: rock with the punches and just be able to go play.
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: It's not like people's gonna get paid any different. They're
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: just gonna divide it by eighteen, you know, or divided
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: by nineteen now.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: So yeah, if they give us another game.
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: We just got to go out there and take care
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: of our bodies that much more. But I don't really
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: think we as players have a say, you play.
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: A rep pat if you want that cluck with spuckt
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: to flee bargain or would you ask for something fact
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: from the owners, like no offseason or shorter draining camp.
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: Uh well, I mean even now, I think offseason is voluntary,
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: so you really don't have to show up if you
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: don't want to. It's tough if I was to put
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: on my PA hat, because you can't really make everybody happy.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: If you try to do.
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: Some stuff to fight for the young guys, us vets
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: are gonna be upset. If you do stuff to fight
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: for the vets, the young guys are gonna be upset
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: because you got to think about the guys who aren't
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: gonna be able to play past three years, so they
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: want to be able to make their money early or
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: they want some of those benefits early. But then the
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: thing that sucks sometimes as those young guys get older
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: and now they're like, oh man, I wish we would
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: have had this, this and this, and then the older
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: guys or the ones who retired to it.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: That's what we were trying to fight for.
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: And so it's kind of like a give and take,
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: and there has to be a level of sacrifice. And
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: I think that you know, for us or when you
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: look at the PA, you just got to try to
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: find a middle ground.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: And find something that works.
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: I think, I mean, I can't really speak about a
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: lot of stuff, but I think I don't know if
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: I would do a ten year thing, I probably do
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: like a five year thing to make you know, so
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: as things start to evolve and change, it's easy to
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: go back to another, you know, to another deal. Like
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: for me as a receiver, I would rather sign a
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: two year deal or a three year deal to go
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: back to the table rather than a ten year deal
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: to where it's like, all right, now, I got to
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: sit here and wait, and things can't really change as
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: other things are changing, like when you look into the
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: gamblings and how everybody's making money, but us as players,
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: when you look at like a lot of that different
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: type of stuff. Of course, it's tricky, but it's hard
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: because now you gotta wait almost what eight more years
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: now before you can go back to the table, and
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: a lot of stuff changes in eight years when we
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: might have been able to benefit what from four or
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: five years from now. But again I'm not the one
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: that makes those decisions. I think that they're doing the
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: best that they can. Obviously, you know, everybody wants to
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: be a head coach until you're the head coach and
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: then you see all the things that comes with that.
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: So again, I mean, you know, shout out to them.
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: I think we're putting the best people in the positions
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: to do their part, and I think that they're doing
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: the best that they're can to try to take care
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: of everybody.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: Tyler, what are you.
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: Saying from Grips offense that makes you optimistic? You guys
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: be better on third down and then the red.
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: Zoneership I think, like I think what I'm saying is
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: just more of the creativity. I mean, there's times where
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: we might be going after the sticks, and there's other
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: times where we're not even worried about the sticks. The
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: sticks is just another yard line. And there's times where
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: we might go for an explosive and it's third and three,
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: like you just never know. And I think that's the
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: cool part about the offense is that you have things
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: where Okay, if this guy is open, take it, but
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: if not, this guy behind them is probably gonna have
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: a great chance to be open to create an explosive.
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: And so I think that sometimes if we focus more
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: on just getting to the sticks, it's easy for teams
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: to be able to pick up on third down, they're
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: more stick conscientious. But when you end up putting yourself
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: in a position of where you have somebody that's getting
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: to the sticks, you don't know which players getting to
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: the sticks, but then you got other guys that's playing
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: off of that route to be able to create an explosive.
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: So if teams take away the sticks, the explosive opens
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: themself up, and if they take away the explosive, the
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: sticks open up.
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: What do you feel like, go ahead, if you guys
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: are better than those two areas in the red zone
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: in a third down, how much better than the offense
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: would just be told? This year?
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean, I think we've seen glimpses of how
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: great that we could be, you know, last year and
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: even in the previous years, of just being able to
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: keep them all moving and just be able to go from.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: Sticks to sticks.
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: It's hard for teams to be able to stop us.
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: I think that we had to do better more so
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: in the second half. I think we kind of struggled
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: a little bit in the second half, but I mean
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: when we were able to move the ball, I mean
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: it was almost like very difficult to stop us. I
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: think now we just got to be able to just
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: play ahead of the sticks and we just.
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no, no, no, you're good. What do you feel like
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: is gonna be the bread butter of your offense? Like
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: the thing you guys really need to hang your hat on.
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Honestly, when it comes to the bread and butter
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: of the offense, I really don't know, because going into
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: campus one thing, and even if we go play Tennessee
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: at campus another thing. But you gotta be able to
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: see it in a game, like you still gotta be
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: able to see how we scout, how we choose to
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: attack teams, and then how we play in the games.
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: And that's when you start to get more of a
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: feel and a more of an understanding of, Okay, this
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: is how our offense is, this is how.
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: We go about it.
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: But sometimes, I mean it's hard because you know, every
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: team it is, has scripted plays out there, so you're
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: picking the offense and you're picking the defense. So when
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: we get to certain things out there, when it's team
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: moved the ball and there's no plays on the script,
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: now you get a chance to really see the dynamic
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: of the offense and the dynamic of the defense because
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: the defense doesn't have to pick a play that's already
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: in there. It's like, okay, you go with your best play.
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: We go with our best play. Now you get a
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: chance to really see like the intricates of the offense
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: and defense.
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: You think you're gonna play more of this spree season
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: than be on movie.
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: I play every game if I could, so at some
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: point I'm never gonna play again, so I'd rather play
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: as long as I possibly can. Have you done some
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: kick returning in your past, obviously, what do you think
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: of the new kick return rules and how that might
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: change things?
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: I think it's different. It's unique.
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: Obviously, it's tough because the game of football, you're so
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: used to them starting on one side kicking it, and
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: you know, you get to see a lot of super
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: cool creative stuff nowhen everybody's starting on a certain lineup
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: and or a line of scrimmage.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: It's just a lot different.
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: But I think the cool part too is like you
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: might see people back there that you may have never
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: seen before back there. Like for me, it wouldn't surprise
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: me if we put Knan back there and just allow
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: Kanan to create something out of nothing. Kind of like
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: I was saying, you could put a lot of cool
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: people back there to be able to do a lot
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: of things that you may have not done because they
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: were starting all the way back and being able to
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: kick it. But I also understand you got to protect people.
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: That's one of the most scariest plays I guess of
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: football when it comes to a team a full of
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: people running full speed. You got other people standing there
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: trying to block, and then hitting somebody going full speed
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: head on. They say every tackle is like a car wreck, almost,
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: you know, So I get it, you know, But you know,
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: we try to keep it as old school football as
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: we can
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: Appreciate it.
