• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Do you feel about that? Scrim interesting? Just what you
• 0:01
  Speaker 1: guys are have to accomplish.
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: It's good work.
• 0:04
  Speaker 3: Good to get the work in a lot to improve.
• 0:05
  Speaker 3: I think the guys know that. We know that, so
• 0:07
  Speaker 3: I'm excited to.
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: Dig into the tape and see what we can work on.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: How concerning would it be that, you know, just having
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: all the drops of the picks and d the disjointed
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: this like, how concerning would that be moving forward?
• 0:17
  Speaker 3: Or is this one from one piece of many things
• 0:20
  Speaker 3: that we're working on trying to improve, whether it's fundamentals, communication,
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: just simple execution, a place here and there, alignment, assignment,
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: all of those details are important. So we're trying to
• 0:29
  Speaker 3: improve everything, not just a drop here.
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: There is the.
• 0:35
  Speaker 4: Offensive line still at work in progress. I mean you
• 0:37
  Speaker 4: got I think we used I think you used seven
• 0:39
  Speaker 4: different six different left tackles or right tackles in there.
• 0:42
  Speaker 4: Is it still piece mealing this thing together?
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: I don't know that I would frame it necessarily as
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: piece mealing.
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: I think one of the questions you guys asked last
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: week was about the flexibility the offensive line. I would
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: probably still look at it like that. We have had
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: some injuries, guys, go in and out, even temporary injuries
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: where guys miss a drive, and those have been opportunities
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: for other guys to step up and play different positions.
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: So you probably see out there today we have multiple
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: guys play on different sides, play guard, play tackle, inside outside,
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: different centers. So it's great that those guys have the
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: ability to do that and we have the chance to
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: get that type of work.
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: So is there a point, though, with the season three
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: weeks wa point where you want to get the five
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: solidified and let them work together.
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: Absolutely, I think so, But I think at the same
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: time you recognize that over the course of the year,
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: it's very rare nowadays for the five same starters to
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: play every single play for an entire season. So this
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: work to get guys working with each other that might
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: not always work together on week one or week two
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: is invaluable to have right now.
• 1:39
  Speaker 5: How would you evaluate Beachiel Tutor and kind of how
• 1:41
  Speaker 5: he's come along in camp.
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: I think the growth has been encouraging, a testament to
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: his work, Coach Morten's work with him and really all
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: the running backs their ability to improve, whether it's in
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: the run game as runners, in the pass protection game,
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: or as pass catchers. The entire room, all those guys
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: have really embraced all fast to that position and what
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: we're asking them to do.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: So between him, TJ.
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: Tank, you know, the Quinn to Quinn and all of
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: those guys have been awesome to work with, a lot
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: of fun to work with, and it's great to see
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: their improvement kind of day over day.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: What have you seen from from Trevor just over the
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: last few weeks and obviously during the preseason game as well.
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: I think you see that growth in terms of the
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: master of the offense. We talked about it a little
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: bit at the very beginning of training camp and even
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: a little bit in the spring.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: I think you see that starting to click.
• 2:26
  Speaker 6: Now.
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: There are still things around him that can improve, and
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: there are still areas that he can improve, and he
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: knows that. But each day, in a different setting or
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: a different play, you see one little thing or two
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: little things, or sometimes it's a lot of things that
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: come together where you see that improvement in terms of
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: that mastery of his role.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: If you could just pick one one thing that he's
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: really improved on greatly over the last few weeks, what
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: would that be.
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: It's hard to pick just one. I try to try
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: to count all the things that he improved on and
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: appreciate all of them. So I don't know that I
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: would just pick just pick one. But I think when
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: we look at the operation of the offense and his
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: control of the line of scrimmage, the cadence, some of
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: those things that we still are working to improve as
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: a unit, but his personal growth is evident in that stuff.
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: The footwork, some of the reads, playing fast completion. So
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: there's a lot of things.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: That they see. It makes it tough to pick one
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: that you guys.
• 3:13
  Speaker 7: Gave him to work on. Do you see him I
• 3:16
  Speaker 7: guess missing that less, you know what I mean, like
• 3:18
  Speaker 7: not doing it less and less as camp goes, I'm
• 3:20
  Speaker 7: not making mistakes.
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: I would say he's improved and he will probably continue
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: to improve.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: I mean that's our goal.
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: There really is no point where you take your foot
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: off the gas on that stuff. You're always building the
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: fundamentals even throughout the season. Now, the time you can
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: allocate towards that shrinks as the season continues. But he's
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: improved and the goal is that he continues to prove
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: throughout the year.
• 3:38
  Speaker 8: It seems like the Quins kind of stood out in
• 3:40
  Speaker 8: pass pro is it rare for rookiees come in and
• 3:42
  Speaker 8: able to handle that responsibility right away.
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: I think it kind of depends on the guy, But
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: like I mentioned, he's done a great job of learning
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: the system his willingness to go in there and pass
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: protect in a bunch of difficult situations. The defense throws
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: a lot at those guys, not just from a mental standpoint,
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: but physically. They're asked to do a lot of different
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: things when it comes to picking up twists or getting
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: up in the a gap and taking on a back
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: or defensive end at times. But all of those guys,
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: whether it's him or the rest of the room, have
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: really embraced that role because we're asking them to do
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: things that maybe they haven't done before, play techniques that
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: they haven't done before.
• 4:14
  Speaker 9: What do you like about Tank Bigsby?
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: There's a lot to like about Tank.
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: I think you see the style of runner he is
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: and it almost pops out at times on tape with
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: the physicality and his ability to take one cut and
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: really attack lanes or holes depending on the run scheme.
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: It is I think his explosiveness in the run game
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: and hopefully that's something that we can say about all
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: the running backs in the room, whether it's him, Twoton, LeQuinn,
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: or tj all of those guys have that ability to
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: take a two yard run, three yard run in the
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: five yard run, ten yard run, explosive run beyond that,
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: with their ability to break tackles or accelerate opening space,
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: probably have Thomas is.
• 4:51
  Speaker 7: Frustration's pretty evident for those who also watching.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: Is that at a concern level for you?
• 4:56
  Speaker 9: Where is the concern level?
• 4:58
  Speaker 5: Or that?
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: I don't know that I would listed like that. I
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: think that he holds himself to.
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: A high standard, which we appreciate, and when he doesn't
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: play to the standard that he holds himself to, sometimes
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: that comes out in frustration. But this is what practice
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: is about. You're trying to improve on things. You're trying
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: to put yourself in challenging situations. If you're going out
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: there and just succeeding at everything every single day, you're
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: probably not pushing yourself hard enough. So we expect there
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: to be some element of frustration.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: With every position.
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: Whether it's a receiver, whether it's an offensive line, whether
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: it's mentally or physically. Most guys are going to be
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: in a situation at some point throughout the course of
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: a practice, throughout the course of a training camp, where
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: they probably push themselves, maybe beyond their limits, or maybe
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: they just don't perform to their standard. So I think
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: that frustration for all of us coaches, players included, it
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: becomes a part of the process of growth.
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: Whatever we're doing.
• 5:45
  Speaker 7: I'd assume you'd want them to stop slam and the
• 5:48
  Speaker 7: helmet down there. Maybe not like bury the frustration, but yeah,
• 5:53
  Speaker 7: release it a little more constructively.
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, Yeah, I would love to see. I think
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: the equipment guys more are morencerned about that portion of
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: it than me in terms of the helmets. But but yeah,
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: there's a way we handle things, and we want to
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: have kind of a what now mindset in terms of
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: be able to learn from things and move on and
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: be in the present. So we're all working on that.
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: None of us are perfect at it.
• 6:13
  Speaker 8: When you see a guy at Parker Washington just make
• 6:15
  Speaker 8: big plays throughout the entire course of a camp, how
• 6:17
  Speaker 8: much confidence does that.
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: Give in you on game day?
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: They can translate it from practice to the game. I
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: mentioned it last time.
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: I think that when you see a guy execute something
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: consistently in practice, it gives you the confidence that he
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: can go out there in the game situation. Now, the
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: practice setting is a little different than the game, but
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: like I just mentioned previously, we're trying to put these
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: guys in challenging positions and for him to go out
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: and execute those things in the most challenging positions when
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: he's tired, and the heat gives you the confidence, whether
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: it's him or anybody, to go out and do those things.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: On game day, what'd.
• 6:45
  Speaker 9: You make of it?
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: What'd you feel out there?
• 6:48
  Speaker 6: You know, it was good competitiveness out here, guys going
• 6:50
  Speaker 6: at it, you know, competing, trying to make each other better.
• 6:53
  Speaker 6: So I thought that was the I guess the positive.
• 6:55
  Speaker 6: And today a little sloppy offensively. I thought we started
• 6:57
  Speaker 6: a great head of long I don't know how many
• 6:59
  Speaker 6: plays it was at a long drive to start, went
• 7:00
  Speaker 6: and scored and then from there, defense, you know, picked
• 7:03
  Speaker 6: it up a little bit and we had some some mistakes,
• 7:06
  Speaker 6: just self inflicted wounds. Kind of been the story of
• 7:08
  Speaker 6: camp of trying to clean up some of that stuff
• 7:10
  Speaker 6: pre snap. So just got to clean up the operation.
• 7:13
  Speaker 6: The mistakes that you know, the defense doesn't inflict on
• 7:18
  Speaker 6: you, you do on yourself so that all those mistakes are
• 7:21
  Speaker 6: we just got to get better and cleaner. But I
• 7:23
  Speaker 6: thought there were some good competition guys flying around, so
• 7:26
  Speaker 6: there were some goods and bad We'll watch it, we'll
• 7:28
  Speaker 6: learn from it all.
• 7:28
  Speaker 9: You sort of talked about it.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: But just at these mistakes that can just be cleaned up,
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: you know, these are these are correct ful mistakes offers
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: for sure.
• 7:35
  Speaker 6: I mean it's you know, pre snap stuff. It's uh,
• 7:39
  Speaker 6: you know, there's always a little bit of that in camp,
• 7:42
  Speaker 6: but the amount we've had has been a little too
• 7:44
  Speaker 6: sloppy for the offense that we want to be. You know,
• 7:47
  Speaker 6: if we want to be a great offense, you have
• 7:48
  Speaker 6: to be really smart not make those mistakes that hurt yourself. Obviously,
• 7:53
  Speaker 6: execute and I think the execution has been actually decent
• 7:57
  Speaker 6: once the ball snapped. But the other stuff before the snap,
• 7:59
  Speaker 6: you don't ever get a chance if you don't do
• 8:00
  Speaker 6: that right. So there's been some stuff that we just
• 8:03
  Speaker 6: have to lock in on the details, you know. For
• 8:04
  Speaker 6: me as a quarterback, got to operate a little cleaner.
• 8:06
  Speaker 6: Let's get up to the line faster so guys can
• 8:08
  Speaker 6: communicate and think and have time to you know, process
• 8:11
  Speaker 6: and you know, remind each other of the cadence, all
• 8:13
  Speaker 6: those things.
• 8:14
  Speaker 9: It's all of us in it. We just have to
• 8:16
  Speaker 9: be sharper.
• 8:17
  Speaker 5: I saw William was kind of talking to you and
• 8:19
  Speaker 5: Parker just now. I've seen it a few times act
• 8:20
  Speaker 5: like after practice where he'll kind of debrief just what
• 8:23
  Speaker 5: is it like having a coach that doesn't mind showing you, Hey,
• 8:26
  Speaker 5: this is exactly how I want it.
• 8:27
  Speaker 9: It's great, you know, his communication.
• 8:30
  Speaker 6: He's very i'd say thorough too, just with the details
• 8:33
  Speaker 6: of every play, of what he's thinking, the way he
• 8:35
  Speaker 6: communicates with me on the sideline from play to play,
• 8:38
  Speaker 6: between series and practice, and he does a great job
• 8:40
  Speaker 6: of talking to me and see seeing what I'm seeing.
• 8:43
  Speaker 6: And I think we're really starting to get on the
• 8:45
  Speaker 6: same page as far as I'm thinking, how he's thinking
• 8:47
  Speaker 6: in certain concepts and playing faster, and you know that's
• 8:50
  Speaker 6: going to be something that just continues to grow as
• 8:52
  Speaker 6: we play more together and obviously as we get in
• 8:54
  Speaker 6: the season and start playing these real games. But it's
• 8:57
  Speaker 6: been awesome having them as our coach and just the
• 9:00
  Speaker 6: teaching he's been able to do for our group, not
• 9:02
  Speaker 6: just the quarterbacks, but the whole offense. You know, the
• 9:04
  Speaker 6: offensive line there running backs to the white outs. He's
• 9:07
  Speaker 6: he's done a great job of just teaching us all
• 9:08
  Speaker 6: a lot.
• 9:09
  Speaker 9: And where's the.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: Concern level with the drops?
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: Seven of them I think today, had some last week.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: And the.
• 9:17
  Speaker 9: Well, yeah, i'd have to watch it. You know, some
• 9:19
  Speaker 9: of those.
• 9:21
  Speaker 6: You know it's in for some of them, but then
• 9:23
  Speaker 6: on the sideline looking at the dip out with some
• 9:25
  Speaker 6: of the guys here in between series when the other
• 9:26
  Speaker 6: groups were in, so i'd have to see him. It's just,
• 9:29
  Speaker 6: you know, some of its focus obviously, guys just looking
• 9:31
  Speaker 6: at the ball and focus and not trying to get
• 9:33
  Speaker 6: up feel too fast. Some good contested catches by our
• 9:37
  Speaker 6: defense to breaking up some passes, but we got we
• 9:38
  Speaker 6: got to treat all of them like their ours. And
• 9:39
  Speaker 6: then sometimes the throws aren't always perfect. You know, they
• 9:42
  Speaker 6: got to be in the right spot at the right
• 9:43
  Speaker 6: time and give guys a chance to catch tuck and
• 9:45
  Speaker 6: get upfield. And if you're late against the good defense
• 9:48
  Speaker 6: like ours and give them time to close and make
• 9:50
  Speaker 6: a play on the ball, it makes it tougher. So
• 9:51
  Speaker 6: there's there's a lot of factors that could be involved
• 9:54
  Speaker 6: in that. It's not all on just guys catching the ball,
• 9:56
  Speaker 6: but that is part of it, is just you know,
• 9:58
  Speaker 6: focusing looking it in, not trying to get up field
• 10:01
  Speaker 6: too quickly, and making sure we secure it. But yeah,
• 10:03
  Speaker 6: you know, we got to do our job as quarterbacks
• 10:04
  Speaker 6: too and give them the ball accurate on time.
• 10:06
  Speaker 8: Because there were mistakes today with the drops and penalties.
• 10:10
  Speaker 8: Does that change the outlook for Sunday? I mean, if
• 10:13
  Speaker 8: this was a perfect practice, you guys probably wouldn't go.
• 10:16
  Speaker 7: Do you expect to play?
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 10:18
  Speaker 9: I expect to play.
• 10:19
  Speaker 6: And that's the kind of the mindset in the preseason
• 10:22
  Speaker 6: is expecting to play, and it's always kind of a
• 10:24
  Speaker 6: very variable or whatever, very number of snaps you don't
• 10:28
  Speaker 6: really know exactly what it's gonna be, but expecting to play.
• 10:31
  Speaker 6: I'm not sure if there was old it, today's practice
• 10:34
  Speaker 6: would or wouldn't have changed it. I don't know as
• 10:36
  Speaker 6: far as what coach is thinking, but I'm prepared to play,
• 10:38
  Speaker 6: and from always communicated to us, we're prepared to go
• 10:41
  Speaker 6: and play a little bit. So it's just another opportunity
• 10:44
  Speaker 6: for us to get better.
• 10:45
  Speaker 9: You know.
• 10:45
  Speaker 6: I think it's you got to take it for what
• 10:48
  Speaker 6: it is and learn from it and watch the tape,
• 10:50
  Speaker 6: and you know, you can't be doom and gloom come
• 10:52
  Speaker 6: game time because we had a rough practice. You gotta
• 10:54
  Speaker 6: be able to bounce back. But we do have to
• 10:55
  Speaker 6: clean this stuff up, some of the stuff showing up
• 10:57
  Speaker 6: all camps. So we got to be deliberate and how
• 10:59
  Speaker 6: we and what we do to change it. You do
• 11:01
  Speaker 6: something different in order to get different results.
• 11:05
  Speaker 7: I think you talked to us earlier in camp and
• 11:06
  Speaker 7: you said those footwork change and stuff that you guys
• 11:09
  Speaker 7: that you made and worked on, you wanted to see,
• 11:11
  Speaker 7: like would you revert back to some of the old
• 11:13
  Speaker 7: stuff when you're in a game or a scrimmage or
• 11:14
  Speaker 7: something like that. So what did you less than you
• 11:18
  Speaker 7: thought you would or how have you like manage that.
• 11:21
  Speaker 9: A little bit?
• 11:21
  Speaker 6: I felt like in the game a little bit reverted
• 11:24
  Speaker 6: to some of this old stuff I used to do,
• 11:26
  Speaker 6: not a ton though I thought it's about what I
• 11:29
  Speaker 6: would expect. You know, some snaps where it wasn't perfect,
• 11:32
  Speaker 6: like it's practice, and where you're not gonna get hit
• 11:34
  Speaker 6: and you're not in the tight pocket, you know all
• 11:36
  Speaker 6: those things. It's obviously easier to control that out here
• 11:40
  Speaker 6: because of this for the Red Jersey.
• 11:42
  Speaker 9: You're not going to get hit.
• 11:43
  Speaker 6: So I think that's great practice for me, is keeping
• 11:46
  Speaker 6: calm feet, keeping calm eyes, being disciplined with my feet
• 11:49
  Speaker 6: in the pocket, staying in the safe spots, finding those
• 11:51
  Speaker 6: safe spots. And I thought overall the game was pretty good,
• 11:54
  Speaker 6: but there's a couple snaps of just bouncing around a
• 11:57
  Speaker 6: little bit that I want to clean up and that
• 11:59
  Speaker 6: stuff that we already watched and kind of started working
• 12:01
  Speaker 6: on for this week.
• 12:02
  Speaker 7: Is it start to feel most of time the like
• 12:04
  Speaker 7: second Natures at this.
• 12:05
  Speaker 9: Point, Yeah, No, it does.
• 12:06
  Speaker 6: It's starting to feel starting to feel a lot more
• 12:09
  Speaker 6: comfortable and natural.
• 12:10
  Speaker 9: I'm not having to think about it.
• 12:10
  Speaker 6: I'm not having to say, okay, let's you know, it's
• 12:12
  Speaker 6: my footwork on this play. You know none of that
• 12:14
  Speaker 6: stuff anymore obviously, so I feel comfortable with it. Some
• 12:17
  Speaker 6: of the just mechanical stuff that you've done for years
• 12:19
  Speaker 6: is just the way you hitch, the way you transfer way,
• 12:21
  Speaker 6: and some of that stuff takes a little longer to
• 12:23
  Speaker 6: train out. But we do such a good job of
• 12:25
  Speaker 6: working in Indie in all the periods that aren't team
• 12:27
  Speaker 6: periods to where I'm starting to build that muscle memory
• 12:30
  Speaker 6: where I see it carrying over, but I don't think
• 12:31
  Speaker 6: about it when I'm playing and when I'm in team
• 12:33
  Speaker 6: periods or in a game, because you don't want to
• 12:35
  Speaker 6: be thinking about what am I doing with my mechanics?
• 12:37
  Speaker 6: That's you can't play that way. You got enough to
• 12:39
  Speaker 6: think about. So we've done a great job of working
• 12:41
  Speaker 6: on it, really really detailed work in Indie and trying
• 12:46
  Speaker 6: to pinpoint the issues in those periods.
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: Sorry, is it like rebuilding a golf swing?
• 12:55
  Speaker 6: I should, That's something I need to do. I don't
• 13:00
  Speaker 6: know to answer your question. I'm not good enough at
• 13:02
  Speaker 6: golf to answer that. Where I haven't changed my swing,
• 13:05
  Speaker 6: I probably should for all the people watch and probably
• 13:07
  Speaker 6: think I need to, But I don't know.
• 13:10
  Speaker 9: That's a tough question.
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: But like when you when you shotgun, to his point,
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: you don't ever walk up there going reminding yourself left before.
• 13:15
  Speaker 9: Not anymore. Okay, in the spring, it was a little bit.
• 13:17
  Speaker 6: I'd get up there and I'd have to, you know,
• 13:19
  Speaker 6: switch my feedback, you know, because I've done it for years.
• 13:24
  Speaker 9: Not that long, but a long team.
• 13:27
  Speaker 6: I don't remember what I did when I was seven
• 13:30
  Speaker 6: or eight or whatever.
• 13:32
  Speaker 7: From your perspective, when does the starting offensive line, So
• 13:35
  Speaker 7: I need to be set so that you can start
• 13:36
  Speaker 7: building the rhythm with that group.
• 13:39
  Speaker 6: I mean, that's not really a question for me to answer.
• 13:43
  Speaker 6: I think continuity is important. But the way this game is,
• 13:48
  Speaker 6: you know, guys get hurt and injured and you got
• 13:50
  Speaker 6: to O line is a group where I don't know
• 13:53
  Speaker 6: what the stats are, but typically you don't have the
• 13:55
  Speaker 6: same five guys every single game for the whole season.
• 13:57
  Speaker 6: So there's value in getting other people in there and
• 14:00
  Speaker 6: playing and building that chemistry with more than just five guys,
• 14:04
  Speaker 6: because the reality is something could happen and you might
• 14:07
  Speaker 6: not have one of those guys too.
• 14:08
  Speaker 9: Those guys who knows. I mean, it just depends on
• 14:09
  Speaker 9: the type of year you have.
• 14:10
  Speaker 6: But and hopefully, you know, pray all our guys are
• 14:14
  Speaker 6: healthy all year. But I think I think we have
• 14:18
  Speaker 6: a good feel for the five up front and who
• 14:21
  Speaker 6: it's going to be and and those guys are working
• 14:23
  Speaker 6: well together. But we have a lot of guys that
• 14:26
  Speaker 6: can play, which is encouraging. But we just got to
• 14:28
  Speaker 6: get a little bit more on the same page. When
• 14:29
  Speaker 6: guys come in at these different positions, and like we
• 14:31
  Speaker 6: talked about before, it's not always the most comfortable thing
• 14:33
  Speaker 6: for those guys to bounce around, but it's valuable for us.
• 14:36
  Speaker 6: So I think they've done a good job of doing
• 14:39
  Speaker 6: it and doing it pretty well for the most part.
• 14:40
  Speaker 6: We just got to clean up some of the simple
• 14:42
  Speaker 6: stuff that we could fix.
• 14:43
  Speaker 8: Leaves said last week. They've took into consideration of what
• 14:46
  Speaker 8: guys like Hainesy and herself said about.
• 14:48
  Speaker 9: Wanting to play.
• 14:49
  Speaker 8: What does it mean do you have a coach you
• 14:50
  Speaker 8: want your guys in put when it goes decision making process.
• 14:53
  Speaker 9: He's been awesome, you know.
• 14:54
  Speaker 6: I feel like there's been a lot of I couldn't
• 14:57
  Speaker 6: name all of them, but there's been a lot of
• 14:59
  Speaker 6: just little things where he's taken something to players said
• 15:02
  Speaker 6: or suggested and implemented it. And I think as players
• 15:05
  Speaker 6: that goes a long way, because you're like, all right,
• 15:06
  Speaker 6: we're in this together and he wants us to be
• 15:10
  Speaker 6: And it's not all about being comfortable, but it's also
• 15:14
  Speaker 6: listening to your players and taking that feedback and using
• 15:16
  Speaker 6: it to make your team better.
• 15:17
  Speaker 9: And whether it's the schedule or practice.
• 15:20
  Speaker 6: Or whatever, how guys are feeling. I think he just
• 15:22
  Speaker 6: has a really good pulse on the team and it
• 15:25
  Speaker 6: goes along way with the guys, like even some of
• 15:26
  Speaker 6: the stuff in training camp, the way he structured things,
• 15:29
  Speaker 6: we've been able to get our bodies back, and I
• 15:31
  Speaker 6: think guys are very one appreciative of that. And notice that,
• 15:35
  Speaker 6: especially when you've been in the league now for a
• 15:37
  Speaker 6: few years, you see how other places work, how other
• 15:39
  Speaker 6: training camps are, and you're appreciative of the stuff he does.
• 15:42
  Speaker 6: And then on the flip side, we have to take
• 15:44
  Speaker 6: care of him and come out here and be clean
• 15:47
  Speaker 6: and crisp and practice hard because he's done a great
• 15:50
  Speaker 6: job of really helping us feel good coming into these
• 15:52
  Speaker 6: I mean, you never feel great in training camp, but
• 15:54
  Speaker 6: for training camp, I think everyone would say, we feel
• 15:57
  Speaker 6: pretty good for you for it being training camp.
• 16:00
  Speaker 8: And how much Cross says the point happened or from
• 16:02
  Speaker 8: you guys and pass where it seems like he's kind
• 16:03
  Speaker 8: of sit out there.
• 16:04
  Speaker 6: He's done a great job ever since he came in.
• 16:06
  Speaker 6: It's it's been something I've noticed is his pass protection.
• 16:08
  Speaker 6: He's picked it up really quickly. But the biggest thing is, yeah,
• 16:12
  Speaker 6: he knows what to do, but the way he does
• 16:14
  Speaker 6: he's really physical, violent, meeting linebackers in the line of scrimmage,
• 16:18
  Speaker 6: and that's huge. You get these games inside with these
• 16:20
  Speaker 6: linebackers trying to pick off our centers and guards, and
• 16:23
  Speaker 6: if you can, the sooner you can meet them, the
• 16:24
  Speaker 6: more physically you are, it knocks them off their game.
• 16:26
  Speaker 6: They're trying to run and you can pass it off.
• 16:28
  Speaker 6: And that's a that's a killer for a group up front,
• 16:30
  Speaker 6: is if you get picked on a game, it could
• 16:32
  Speaker 6: be a four man five man rush and you should
• 16:35
  Speaker 6: be blocked. And if we get picked and it's an
• 16:37
  Speaker 6: unblocked hitter on you. So he's been he's been a
• 16:40
  Speaker 6: really you know, key blocker for us in pass protection.
• 16:44
  Speaker 5: He likes top.
• 16:46
  Speaker 9: Yeah, that was that was a good stuff.
• 16:48
  Speaker 6: I love how we Yeah, obviously we don't want to
• 16:51
  Speaker 6: make a habit of that, but the competitiveness and then
• 16:52
  Speaker 6: right after both of them are great and like like
• 16:54
  Speaker 6: nothing happens. So that's what you want to see. I mean,
• 16:56
  Speaker 6: it gets competitive out here and it should be. Uh
• 16:59
  Speaker 6: don't want to cross the that line too often, but
• 17:01
  Speaker 6: we're all teammates at the end of the day.
• 17:04
  Speaker 9: For sure. Would
