Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Good to see everybody there.
- 0:02Speaker 2: What was LuFe out there?
- 0:04Speaker 3: I mean classic lumen field pouring down rain. Yeah, I
- 0:10Speaker 3: had to break out the bad weather gloves for the
- 0:12Speaker 3: first time this season, so it was good. Is that
- 0:14Speaker 3: you're how often have you returned punts previously?
- 0:18Speaker 1: Is something new that you're guiding? I did a little
- 0:21Speaker 1: bit in college.
- 0:23Speaker 3: Don't research my return average, but yeah, just something we've
- 0:28Speaker 3: talked about, just being a guy that if we needed to,
- 0:36Speaker 3: just being a guy that could go back there and
- 0:37Speaker 3: catch the ball and get positive yardage.
- 0:40Speaker 1: So it's good to.
- 0:41Speaker 3: Finally field one in loomen and field them in practice
- 0:43Speaker 3: for a couple of weeks. But yeah, I thought for
- 0:46Speaker 3: a second I had a seam closed up pretty quickly
- 0:50Speaker 3: on me. So Mike.
- 0:52Speaker 2: Mike was saying, you haven't had a lot of opportunity
- 0:54Speaker 2: or maybe as many opportunities this year in preseason as
- 0:56Speaker 2: you've had previously. But it's really good to see a
- 0:58Speaker 2: breakout today. How do you kind of look at your
- 1:00Speaker 2: sees it as a whole and how nice was it
- 1:01Speaker 2: to get those touchdowns today?
- 1:03Speaker 3: I mean, it was nice, but I mean that's kind
- 1:06Speaker 3: of just my game, being the right spot at the
- 1:08Speaker 3: right time and I mean, honestly, I had the convoy
- 1:13Speaker 3: out in front of me on the on the screen
- 1:14Speaker 3: and then truth Drew didn't really give me any choice
- 1:18Speaker 3: but to catch the second one.
- 1:20Speaker 1: So it's good. I mean, just be there when you're
- 1:22Speaker 1: when your name's called.
- 1:23Speaker 3: It's kind of my my deal right now, and impacting
- 1:26Speaker 3: games other than just catching the ball.
- 1:30Speaker 1: So you know, I've had a pretty pretty pretty good
- 1:32Speaker 1: camp so far, but you know, for me, there's always
- 1:35Speaker 1: always work to be done. For sure.
- 1:37Speaker 3: On the screens there was like you got a little
- 1:39Speaker 3: bit of an hitch there where you're surprised there's nobody
- 1:42Speaker 3: out there. Yeah, I mean, great, great call by Coups.
- 1:48Speaker 3: I think they brought pressure. Didn't know there was a
- 1:50Speaker 3: whole lot of green grass out there.
- 1:52Speaker 1: So yeah, it was good. Happy to have it again.
- 1:54Speaker 1: The paint for sure. What do you think about just
- 1:56Speaker 1: watching that offense as a whole work tonight with you
- 1:58Speaker 1: being a part of it.
- 1:59Speaker 3: The the run mix, the boot action, kind of the
- 2:03Speaker 3: kind of whole picture of.
- 2:04Speaker 1: What this offense might look like as you guys.
- 2:06Speaker 3: Get going here. Uh yeah, I mean if we can
- 2:08Speaker 3: run the ball like we did tonight. Obviously it's a preseason,
- 2:12Speaker 3: but that's something that we want to do, and so
- 2:14Speaker 3: to be able to do it here, do it against
- 2:17Speaker 3: guys in different color jerseys, you know what's good And
- 2:21Speaker 3: if we can do that, that's going to open up
- 2:23Speaker 3: a whole whole other dimension for this offense. So it's
- 2:26Speaker 3: something we want to do. Obviously, it was good to
- 2:29Speaker 3: get it done tonight, but obviously we've we've we've got
- 2:32Speaker 3: a lot of work to do to get to where
- 2:34Speaker 3: we want to go, especially I just say in the
- 2:38Speaker 3: run game aspect of things, because like I said, that'll
- 2:41Speaker 3: open up a whole whole other bunch of things we
- 2:45Speaker 3: can do on offense.
- 2:46Speaker 2: How much bigger of a factor is blocking for you
- 2:48Speaker 2: guys as receivers in this offense what they're else are
- 2:50Speaker 2: here to do well.
- 2:52Speaker 3: I think it's more important than it has been in
- 2:55Speaker 3: previous years. I think we've always kind of taken pride
- 2:59Speaker 3: in the in the receive room.
- 3:02Speaker 1: In playing a role in the run game.
- 3:04Speaker 3: It just so happens that this year, in Koobs's scheme,
- 3:06Speaker 3: it's going to be a whole lot more important, I
- 3:08Speaker 3: think than it has been. So it's fun to see
- 3:10Speaker 3: guys Jax Is sticking his hat in there and so
- 3:14Speaker 3: you know, we take pride in it for sure in
- 3:16Speaker 3: our room, and that someone will continue to do Jake.
- 3:20Speaker 1: This offense and all the offenses of like the you
- 3:22Speaker 1: know Shanahan kind of McVeigh tree, they get described as
- 3:25Speaker 1: like systems in the sense that the whole playbook is
- 3:28Speaker 1: really connected. Can you kind of talk about that?
- 3:32Speaker 3: Uh? Yeah, I mean, you guys are going to see it.
- 3:34Speaker 3: But it's it's it's really cool what Coobs is doing.
- 3:37Speaker 3: I mean, he's marrying up at least for just receivers.
- 3:40Speaker 3: We're on the same path for the first ten yards
- 3:43Speaker 3: of a play, whether we're running outside zone or we're
- 3:46Speaker 3: running boot action play.
- 3:48Speaker 1: Action off of it.
- 3:50Speaker 3: So you know, I obviously have not been in their shoes,
- 3:53Speaker 3: but I think that's really difficult on a defense DBS,
- 3:56Speaker 3: especially safeties that are getting cracked all game and then
- 3:59Speaker 3: all this and you're gonna boot action off of it,
- 4:01Speaker 3: You're gonna run a deep en route off of that
- 4:04Speaker 3: same route stem. I think that puts defenses in a
- 4:09Speaker 3: bind and puts the linebackers in a bind. So it's
- 4:12Speaker 3: it's it's been really cool to kind of explore that
- 4:15Speaker 3: in Koobs' scheme so far. But Obviously we've we've got,
- 4:19Speaker 3: you know, further steps we want to take and we'll
- 4:21Speaker 3: continue to do that. Are you guys gonna be on
- 4:23Speaker 3: Brady Russell?
- 4:25Speaker 1: Listen? I can't be hard on Bradie Russell.
- 4:28Speaker 3: I'm sure some of the guys in there will be
- 4:29Speaker 3: hard on Brady Russell, but I am the last guy
- 4:32Speaker 3: that will be hard on Brady for we've all been there.
- 4:35Speaker 1: We have all been there.
- 4:36Speaker 2: That was funny though, how have you seen sam Donold
- 4:39Speaker 2: kind of grow into this offense? Has he got here?
- 4:42Speaker 1: Well?
- 4:42Speaker 3: I mean the cool part about Sammy was since he's
- 4:46Speaker 3: got here, he's just kind of been the dude And
- 4:49Speaker 3: obviously there you know, you you call different offenses, call
- 4:54Speaker 3: different things differently is for lack of a better kind
- 4:59Speaker 3: of term, So he's had to learn that aspect of it.
- 5:02Speaker 3: But ever since you know, he got here in whatever
- 5:04Speaker 3: it was April, you could tell he had a grasp
- 5:08Speaker 3: on what we were trying to do. I don't know
- 5:09Speaker 3: if he's been in this, you know, similar schemes in
- 5:12Speaker 3: the past, but it seems like he's had it and
- 5:15Speaker 3: he's a guy that I can go to, that Coop
- 5:17Speaker 3: can go to that all the receivers can go to
- 5:20Speaker 3: if we've got a question about what we're trying to
- 5:21Speaker 3: do with, you know, different route stems, timing stuff. So
- 5:25Speaker 3: to have a guy like Sam as physically gifted as
- 5:28Speaker 3: he is kind of mentally where he's at right now
- 5:31Speaker 3: has been huge for our our growth as an offense.
- 5:37Speaker 1: Thanks guys, appreciate it.
