  Speaker 1: Josh Wett has been doing a really good junket after
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: the quarterback. What stands out when you watched his game
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: and how important will it be He's got three forced
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: bumbles to have the ball, hide hid everything like that
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: last period.
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, No, he's a great player, done a good job
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: obviously this year and in the past two just for
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: a while, he's been a really good pass rusher and
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: good player. So he's a guy that you know, you
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: game plan for and you have a plan you know,
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: to help with him and to secure him. Obviously, he's
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: a good player for their defense. So you know, he's great.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: Really can play the run as well. You know, it
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: does a lot of good things, but great pass rusher.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: How much as the play sheet being on your wrist
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: Sunday come up over the last three four days, is
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: maybe something that helped something that people keep picking up
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: on or not really. I mean, we talked about it,
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: you know, in here, I guess in there after the
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: game with you guys.
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: But not really much more than that.
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: You know, we've talked about, I guess internally about you know,
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: the ways that it might have helped or whatever kind
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: of just assessed how it was using it and I
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: thought it was. There were some positives that came from it,
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: for sure. So you know, I think you look at
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: the clean operation we had on offense, it's I don't
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: think it's.
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: Just because of that.
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: You know, there's more moving parts, but I don't think
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: you can deny that that probably helped. You know, we
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: played really cleaned, didn't have any penalties, which is something
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: that you know, we've wanted to improve on all season long.
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: So that was a that was a positive, and it woulout.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: Being getting away too much.
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: What is the.
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: Instation of how it helps?
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: You say, you can just get the you can just
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: get calls in faster, really is all it is. Because
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: you got a number on your wristband and then you
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: you read it off to the guys instead of you know,
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: calls get pretty long in certain situations, so Liam's got
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: to call it. You's got to get the personnel in.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: You gotta call that, you gotta call the play. And
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: then if you miss something and he has to call
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: the play again, and then you're saying this whole long
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: sentence again, and then you're saying it in the huddle,
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: and then you're breaking it instead of just hey, riskband
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: ten and then you go in there, call it to
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: the guys and get out of there. Then you can
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: you have usually five more seconds or something. It just depends,
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: maybe not that much sometimes, but that's really all it does.
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: The idea was to be able to visualize the play
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: as is coming in as that part helped throughout the
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: year as well when you didn't have the risk band.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I mean that's something that definitely I learned
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: how to do that I hadn't done in the past,
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: so that was something I got used to and I
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: do think it helped. And then now as you grow
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: more and more in the system now using the riskband
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: to kind of pick up our operation a little bit
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: and see, you know, get a bit better look at
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: the defense when are at the line scrimmer, especially on
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: third down, and having some more time that is obviously
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: really important. So I've been in the system long enough
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: now to where I can I know what's going on,
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: I can picture everything.
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: It's it's not, as I guess, big of a deal
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: to have it on the riskband to where you're picturing
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: in a little bit later, so it's you know, not
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: a not a huge deal. I mean, either way, really
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: it's we've got the same game plan. We're gonna go
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: run the plays, and if it helps us get out
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: a little bit sooner of the huddle and have some
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: more time to operate, I think, you know, I'm all
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: for it.
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: Yes, you should.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: Actually the end of day, exactly why you're.
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: Not sliding play.
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: What I said like, I'm I feel like I'm more
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: prone to get a.
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: Hit when I slide.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's just hard. And you know, Denzel
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: I played against him a few times. I mean, he's
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: I actually you know, I don't think he was trying
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: to hit me later, didn't really hit me lated on
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: that one, and it was kind of a late slide
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: and he did a good job of pulling off. So
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: I appreciated that. You know, we talked about it after
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: so but yeah, man, that's a perfect example of it's
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: just hard to it's hard to get down early enough
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: for the defenders to not take a shot on you,
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: and it's hard to protect yourself. And you know, so
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: you've seen the kind of limited that this year, and
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: that's that's one where I probably want to do the
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: same and try to avoid that because I could have
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: been you know, if it's a guy that really tries
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: to take you out. He could have had a clean
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: shot where I really can't defend myself.
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: Pint Morse kind.
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: Of one of the guys in this journey of practice.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: Fawd, especially in offense, kind of defined if they want
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: what do you see winnings?
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: Since you got is that he's been awesome just I mean,
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: he's super hard worker, really can do anything he's asked of.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: I mean, he can block, he can run all the routes,
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: he's got great hands, just shows up when you need him.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: And obviously at tight end, we've been a little banged
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: up this year, so him being able to step up
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: and do a lot of different things for us. I
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: mean we only had him and Johnny last week that
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: were up and those guys having to learn, you know,
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: pretty much every thing that tight end can do.
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: Whether we're in eleven twelve.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: Twelve jumbo with an extra offensive line and there's a
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: lot of moving parts for those guys, and for them
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: to be able to move around and do everything that's
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: asked to them, it's pretty impressive.
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: Obviously Johnny's in that group two and he's done a
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: nice job. But Quinton was great. I mean seeing some
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: of the blocks he had on Sunday, I'm sure you
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: guys saw some of them. And he played really well
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: and obviously had you know, a catch and I should
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: have had a big one too, if it could have
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: got the ball out there too him, he would have
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: had a big touchdown as well. So he's doing some
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: great things and just good teammate. I think it's been
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: fun having him around.
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: How much hell the offense had a two guys kind
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: of carried him in the running.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: Game as opposed to Yeah, I mean, I think all
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: of our guys you look at you know, leaquint too,
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: like what he did at the end of the game.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: I mean, I think he's he's a guy that we trust,
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: and I think that's the biggest thing is you trust
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: all of them and they're all talented and can make plays,
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: and that's important. But as far as doing the right
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: thing all the time, knowing what they're doing, whether it's
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: protection or you know, running the ball and hitting hitting
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: the right spot, getting behind the line, you know, hitting
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: the right gap, all that stuff. You know, all those
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: guys do a great job and they take a lot
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: of pride in it, you know, Chad's done a great
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: job coaching them up as well.
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: And I think that's the biggest thing.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: You see, guys can come in and you know, obviously
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: Travis is having a great year and he's he's playing great,
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: and Baseel's playing great too, But if it's the quint
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: that has to step up, no matter who it is,
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: we feel confident and whoever it is to.
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: Go in there and get it done.
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: Obviously I said it's been Travis getting the bulk, but
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: he's played awesome, but having guys that can step up
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: because I mean, this game it's you know, if someone
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: needs a breather or if someone goes down for a
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: few plays, like you need to have depth, and those
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: guys have done a great job with that.
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: The guys he said that.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: Liam is really relatable because they can sometimes even more
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: relatable than anyone else they play for him. And I
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: know QB and coach relationships are different, but what is
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: it that you see it makes it relatable.
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: In your relationship.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I mean I think just the way he
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: talks to his players, the way he communicates it's, you know,
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: really honest and upfront. I think he's he's just kind
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: of gets right to it whatever he's feeling or wants
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: to say, and and not not in a bad way,
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: just as very honest, up front communicates. It's you can
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: tell that communicating is really important to him and he
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: wants to there. He doesn't want there to be any
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: mixed messages. So I think that's the biggest thing. And then,
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: like I've talked about too, how passionate he.
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: Is, the way he approaches the game.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: I mean, you can see how much he cares about,
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: how much he puts into it, and it means something
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: to him. So I think that makes guys, you know,
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: want to play for him. And then, like we talked
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: about it's relatable. I think just the way he talks
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: to players, and he's always talking to guys. He's he's
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: not just off by himself kind of you know, stand
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: in the corner watching practice, like he's.
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: Involved all the time.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: And I think that's something that guys appreciate, is him
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: keeping the conversation going consistently.
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: That part of the culture where we all talk about cultures.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: Is that kind of a thing that sets it, and
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: that the major part of it.
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: But the way he ails on that.
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: Stuff, that's a big part of it.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: You know, I think him being our head coach, the
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: way he talks, talks to the team you know a
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: lot during the week and the messaging, and then talks
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: to you guys. He represents our team every time he
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: steps up here. And I think when you have someone
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: that is very clear in his message and you know,
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: very honest and upfront and communicates clearly, I think that's huge.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: But obviously the players have to take it and run
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: with it. I mean, that's really what sets the culture,
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: is the buy in from the players and everyone really
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: being on the same page, making it about the team
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: having that love for one another and for this game
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: and realizing how fortunate we already get to do what
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: we do, and just enjoying it. I think that's what
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: is That's really the culture is buying in from all
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: the players, but coach sets it. And I think that's
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: where you've seen he's done a great job of just
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: leading the charge that would be.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: Too evaculating so quickly in the yas.
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: How unusual is that for receiver?
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, No, he's he's done an awesome job. I think
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: the way he just the way he runs and moves,
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: I think, like that's something I've noticed right when he
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: got here, and I've seen him play a lot too,
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: But it's like I like throwing to him. He's just
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: an easy guy to throw to it from a quarterback perspective,
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: I don't it's kind of hard to describe sometimes just
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: the way he moves it seems very clear what he's
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: gonna do. So that's something I really like. And then
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: he's smart too. He's picked up the offense really quickly
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: for for it being a pretty complicated offense and having
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: to come in and play three four days after getting here,
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: and now he's played a few games with us, and
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: he's done an awesome job. So I really give a
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: lot of credit to him.
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: The receivers and you had to learn a lot of
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: new past catchers, but it's just like these how is
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: he as a team, how is he kind of going
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: to you know, letting his personality come through them, even
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: for the upcouns.
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: Has been awesome.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: I mean, ever since he's come in, I think he's
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: a guy that's worked really hard. You know, he's really smart.
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: I think since we started and we all were all
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: learning this new system together, guys are coming from different places,
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: Guys that were here it's still new for us too,
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: so we're all learning it from scratch. And I think
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: he's always stood out as a guy that was really
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: sharp and it was I felt like, put a lot
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: of work in to learn the offense and knew all
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: the different positions really early on. So I was always
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: impressed by that. And then see what he's done this year.
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: I mean, obviously had a little shoulder deal earlier in
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: the season and I missed a little bit of time
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: for that.
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: And then you know, it's football there.
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: You're gonna have weeks where guys have have big weeks
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: and and other weeks where the man I'd get the
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: same amount of opportunities. And I think the way he's
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: handled that has been has been really cool to see.
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: You know, he's been a good teammate. He's been there
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: for the guys. He's always been willing to do whatever
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: it takes, you know, for us to win or just
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: to do his part. And you know, there's gonna be
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: weeks where it's more than others as far as catching
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: the ball, and that's just the way it goes. I mean,
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: I wish every week it was everybody getting, you know,
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: everything they wanted.
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: I mean that's just part of it. That's the hard
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: part about this game.
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: But he's handled it really well and I've respected the
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: way he's gone about it as a pro, and I
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: know there's going to be a lot more opportunities in
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: front of them.
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: Thank you, appreciate
