  Speaker 1: injury on your own this year. Yeah, I mean the
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: first minor injury at in a while. I guess, No,
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: that was good. You know, obviously bomb to not be
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: able to finish out the year last year, but uh,
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: it was a good opportunity for Coleby to step up
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: and get some plenty of time and know how to
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: do his thing. And you know, they picked up the
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: flag and ran with it. And I was happy to
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: see that and happy to be back feeling good, feeling strong,
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: feeling fast and making plays again. It's awesome. What have
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: you already seen the difference in Geno last year to
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: this year. Uh, there's just a steadiness and I don't
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: think that's anything different, but uh, it's definitely just it's
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: nice and noticeable to have that guy just day in
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: and day out coming to work and you know, focus
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: on what he wants to accomplish. What do you tell
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: your your teammates about making the most of like a
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: preseason game on FISA, Yeah, sure enough, I think, Uh,
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: you know, I try and do it out here every time.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: You know, you're trying to make this team, you know,
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: trying to make this scene better, trying to make yourself better.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: And when you go out into a preseason game, you
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: know you're not just competing to make this scene, but
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: you're trying to compete to make any team. So if
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: you're a young guy and you get an opportunity to
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: go out there and make plays, take the most of
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: it and just remember that you put a NFL uniform
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: on today and be proud of yourself. You and VPK
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: go aways back. Just what I mean to see him
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: get back and signed to be back out here after
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: everything I would have stud Uh yeah, I thought of
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: what I did was tough, but what he did is
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: is incredible. Uh, just a true warrior. He never gave up,
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: never doubted. You know. Obviously there were some some days
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: where he needed to help getting through it, but we
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: all need help sometimes, and uh, you know, he just
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: never waivered. Man. He was always asking the right questions.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: You know, what can I do to get back? What
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: do I gotta do? You know how hard do I
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: gotta work? And he wasn't afraid of the answers. And
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: look where God, you know, he's back wearing a Seahawckey
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: uniform and I couldn't be happy. For him, this camp
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: build more intense spirited than Yeah, I would say so.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: I think we're having a lot of fun. I think
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: the competitive spirit's back. Even in walkthroughs. You know, guys
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: are getting after it, and I think that's a good thing.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: I think that's what Pete wants this program to be about.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: It's all about competition, right, So let's not be afraid
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: of it. You know, wherever it presents itself, is gonna
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: feel to hit another team this week, Instider going after
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: each other. I can't wait. I can't wait to put
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: it on tape. These guys are ready. We're just excited, man,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: I can't wait. Georgy, it was just in the Kansas
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: City game, tried to fight through it and uh, you know,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: kind of realized it wasn't the right thing to do,
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: and uh, you know, kind of just shut me down
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: for rest of the year. That's wrong. It's in the past,
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: or pet Whose those straight video boards that are on
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: the practice shield, what do you use them for? Yeah?
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: Those are a big time. They're just say some replay sports.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: So whenever we get done with the play, we can
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: go and look and see exactly what we did. Kind
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: of takes the guesswork out of I think he did this,
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: and I think he did that, and I think I
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: did this. It's no, he did that, I did this.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: You know. It's it helps a lot. Does that help
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: Does it help on the field to make adjustments or
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: is it getting a head start for like when you
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: filmed after practice. I'd say it's the headside on film
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: review for sure. You know you can kind of take
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: a look. It helps with the instant feedback of like
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: this is what I saw, and then you can go
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: to the board and say, okay, I see what you like.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: You know, you're able to communicate a lot better with
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: of like this is what I just happened the play
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: that was ran, and then you can go to the
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: board and say do you see the look now and
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: they're like, yeah, I understand what you're saying. So it
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: definitely helps with the postplay communication and I think it'll
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: really translate to when we get on the field and
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: start looking at the pictures in real game. You guys
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: collectively were one of the more productive tight end groups
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: in the NFL. Just out signed you with another year altogether.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: With what you guys did, shoot, we're just gonna keep
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: doing what we do. You know, Shane asks a lot
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: of us, and we all have a lot to offer
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: in our own respects and kind of like I said
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: to the rookies, just go out and make this team better.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: That's really what we're trying to do. It's you know,
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: it's not one guy, it's you trying to be your
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: your best on that play and going to help this
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: you know, get a lot of wins. Are you identifying
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: yourself as in a I'm of a Big ten university
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: now or well, that's a good question. I think I'll
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: just be a throwback guy forever, you know what I mean,
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: Like I was, I was the Nike guy. You know,
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: I'm back twelve guy. I'll just be the throwback guy.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: What do you think of that? I mean, it's it's interesting,
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: you know, the cause landscape. We knew it was gonna
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: change with Nile stuff, and uh, you know, I'm hopefully
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: there'll be some rebranding. I'm kind of sick of guessing
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: what the Big ten and the Big twelve is, Like
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: can they just change their name so I know which
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: one is which? But uh, I think it's good. I think, uh,
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: you know, the world's getting so much smaller with technology
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: and with the ability to travel faster. Uh, you know,
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: I don't see the travel being a big problem. And
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: you know, given you know guys to go and compete
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: against different players is awesome. You know, let's go play
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: some big time games against some big time teams and
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: you know, go get win a NINTI for ub. You
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: guys have obviously the two rookies on the offensive line,
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: they have a veteran and Devin Brown that centered there
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: kind of getting the first team snaps. What have you
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: seen out of him so far at this point in training? Yeah, definitely,
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: Evan brings a lot of experience. Uh, you know, diagnosing
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: defenses is a big thing at center, and so he's
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: able to pick it up and communicate really really well,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: really really clearly. And I think that's you know what
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: the most you can ask for out of center is
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: just great communication. And uh, you know, the guys a
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: physical dude, and love having him out there in the
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: run game as he playing next to tackles quite a bit.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: Just how have you seen those two guys progress from
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: you know, starting as rookies to where they're at their
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: second campra Yeah, I would say they're a lot more
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: aggressive uh, you know, last year they were kind of
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: letting the game come to them, and I kind of
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: was okay with that, like, you know, just being the
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: right spot at the right time and let the game
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: come to you. And now that they know what's going on,
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: they can play that much faster, that much more physical,
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: and it's really gonna translate. Its Shane Acx A lot
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: of the title how much is on your late you know,
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: And I mean not to get in specifics, but we're
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: asked to do pass pro, we're asked to do run game.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: We're asked to you know, run routes and uh, you know,
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: help get guys aligne whatever. I like to think of
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: myself as a secondary quarterback, Like whatever the pass protection is,
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: I know what's going on, whatever the run game is
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: going on, I know what's going on, whatever the past
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: concept is. So I'm trying to be out there and
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: help fixing. You know, if there's a problem, I see it,
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna try and help. So and we got all
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: the smart guys. Kolby obviously went to a PAC twelve Stanford.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: What are they gonna do? I don't know, but uh,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: and then Noah's right there with a veteran in mind,
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: and we can all go out there and just you know,
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: help other guys get aligned it and play fast. You
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: like that screen droll with the rolling tires and yeah, sweet,
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: what is what do you get out of I think
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: it's it's just a great fundamental drill, you know, catching
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: the ball, good quarterbacks, pin pin, precise throw and then
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: you know you gotta go and make a sudden movement,
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: get the line timing and stuff is. There's a lot
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: of good things out of that drill. Have you done
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: that drill in any places before? I know anything? Stayanty
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: about playing Kenny back. I love watching them, you know,
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: break off. You know, we we do these inside run
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: drills and they get fitted up around five yards and
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: then they just take off run and you're like, dang
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: if they do break it tackle and no one's catching them.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: So it's fun to see that they got fresh legs,
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: eggs and and they're making the most of it. Anything else, guys,
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: thanks appreciate it.
