• 0:11
  Speaker 2: but I mean we just still got out here random plays.
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: But yeah, it was just m a mental downwn appreciate
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: it or hate it or love it. It was just
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: another day of training. Count yeah for you. Yeah, we
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: still out here in the sun running around.
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: What have you seen uh from from r from w
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: uh requelling this year? Kind of that you gotta we
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: see have some fun matchups out there, k kind of
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: how are you seeing him playing? Kind of you know,
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: I guess third year now kind of going against him
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: as he better or different or anything.
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: No, I mean he's always getting better, uh, year by year,
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: whether that's mentally or physically.
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: I mean it's always a good matchup going against one
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: of the best corners in the league. Uh. You know
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: at practice just makes it easier on Sunday going against uh,
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: you know, opposing DBS. So I think he is growing. Uh.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: I like you said, it's his third year, looking to
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: make more strides than he did uh you know, his
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: rookie year and uh his second year in the league.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: Did you watch any of Grubs offense last year?
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: At Udub before he got here.
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: No, ma'am, So did you have any expectation for what
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: this offense was gonna look like when he started in Stolid?
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: Uh? The only thing I've heard was it was very explosive.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: And I know they had some very good players over
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: at you Dub who had very h a lot of
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: success in this offense. So you know, just looking forward
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: to translate over here? Has it?
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: Uh?
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: We haven't played a game yet, so I don't know.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: Students just talking about how good Gina's looked at the
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: campus howl was throwing the ball. What have you seen
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: that the ginas over the camp camp?
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: Uh?
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: I think, Uh, he's looked very good in uh in camp.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: Uh balls on time. Uh, it's in the perfect place
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: where only I can get it, or Jackson or or
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: Lock or whoever he's throwing the ball to. So I think,
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: you know, looking for him to make strides. Uh as
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: well this this.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: Coming season, is your catch better than Bobo's?
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: Uh?
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: No came out last year that Kyle Shanahan wanted his
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: players to target you to try to get a response.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: How do you respond to that without earning your own team?
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: I mean, he's worried about me, and it's ten other
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: people on the field he needs to worry about, so
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: he has bigger fish to fry. In my opinion, DK,
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: what have.
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: You seen out of the receivers and also your running backs?
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: Basically the offense right now? What are you see just
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: the temple? You guys are as assessing the temple and
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: you guys are practicing.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: At I think the offense is, uh, you know, coming
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: along very well. The receivers you can tell everybody's still
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: trying to learn the offense. Uh, still trying to nail
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: down detail. So I think the communication aspect, whether it's
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: on the field or in meetings, is that probably the
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: biggest part that you know, we have to hone in
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: and uh, you know, take strides in right now because
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: you know, everybody knows how to run the round to
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: everybody knows the plays, but it's just honing it on
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: the little details of each play you.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: Talk about today Today was a mental practice.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: But how important are.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: Those mental days that you guys get to like, you know,
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: go over you know, the walk through of the playbook
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: and everything like that.
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: How vital is it for the growth.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: Of this team? I mean just to sit down and uh,
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: you know, take place one step at a time to
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: where you're not you know, going to mile per hour.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: I mean, uh, you know, a thousand miles per hour.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: I think it's good, but uh, you know, like I said,
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: you really can't tell until the bullets start flying and
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: you're really going against uh you know, other teams or
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: going against uh you know, ones on ones. You know,
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: for full speed reps.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: You're one of those explosive receivers in the league. But
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: do you also enjoy the reps where you get to
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: uh initiate contact, shorter plays, yards after catch kind of routes.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: I love football, Yeah, so whatever entails with that is
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: what I love. Pratt, we'll find out. I've never had one,
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: so we're all gonna find out together. How joint practice is.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: I mean, it is practice. So I'm looking forward to
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: getting better DK.
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: Mike talk talks about stacking plays.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: Can you just talk about that mentality.
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: Or even in practice, how you just just each day
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: you that should.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: Building our foundation. I mean just putting your best foot
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: for you know, we're out here for forty four days.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: You know, God, you know what it was that seven
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: days down already? Uh, right now, So just making sure
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: we were present in each moment, whether that's a meeting
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: or you know, out here on the field, just putting
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: our best foot forward. So you know, by the end
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: of the training camp and you know, we look back
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: and we've stacked you know, great days, practices, reps against
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: each other to where we come out as a better team.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: You know, you thought pretty highly of Sanjay and his
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: work for the last few years.
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: How is Frisman different? What does he bring to the table.
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: It's a little bit different than what Sanjay did from
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: the receiver riches.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: Uh, yes, sir, h both are great receiver coaches in
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: my opinion. Uh, you know, different approaches to the game.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: Frisman is more hands on, he's teaching uh, you know,
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: blocking techniques and other things that I can do within
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: the route. And Sonjay was very technical pre snap or
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: trying to manipulate the dB. So, you know, both great
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: in their own uh you know, respective, but you know,
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: very two different receiver coaches.
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: Have you seen anything different from govin Wedderspoon this year
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: and maybe the secmaster.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: No, sir, he's still a great cornerback. You know, I
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: don't think he can get much better from last year.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: But you know, we'll see where he goes. I don't
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: think he's gonna take any sets back.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: Anything you're working on from last season this season, trying
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: to get.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: Better, trying to control what I say in the media
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: when they don't ask me good questions. So yeah, working
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: on my responses. There still needs work.
