  Speaker 1: And so this was a normal Friday for us, and
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: all of the timing and the rhythms of it is
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: exactly like you know we're going to do during the season.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: So we take a lot of a lot of pride
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: in doing that well because we're trying to do a
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: great job of understanding the rhythms of the preparation. So
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: today we got knocked out for Fridays and tomorrow will
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: be a normal Saturday, going to the hotel and all that.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: So it's a it's good for.
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: Us from game one to game two. What kind of
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: progress you're looking to see it?
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: I would like to see us play play really hard again,
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: you know, And I was really fired up about that.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: The efforts, you know, and with the lack of loafs
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: that we we look forward to count and add up
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: and all that. Uh, the effort from the from the
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: first guys that played to the last guys that play
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: was really consistent and as we tackled a lot better
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: as the game went on went on. I hope that
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: we can start tackling well in the game.
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: How much has the change from four preseason games to
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: three forced you to change the way you structure each
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: game and the way you go about.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: It, not much, not much. We just we've adapted a
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: little bit for the three game rhythm. But h to
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: have the extra week at the end is great.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: It's great.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: To have the roster all in order all the way
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: through the games is a great change. And I hope
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: they never find a way to go back because it's
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: it's so much better for the players and the numbers
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: that you have available to play in the game, so
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: the whole thing is better than it was. I think
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: you like playing a team in the preseason, you played
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: the regular season. We'll play these guys so late. If
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: you were playing somebody in the second week or something
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: like that, you know, it may might feel different. But DONK,
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: what have.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: You thought of the play of Jacob Psychs so far
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: coming in.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: Jacob's done a nice job. He's been h He's a
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: really smart kid that does stuff right a lot. He
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: has got a good motor, plays with good effort and
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: chases the ball really well and all that. So he's
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: getting all all of it out of himself. He's done
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: a nice job. He's gonna play a lot the next
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: couple of weeks. It's worked it's worked out really well
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: and it's so good to see him out there getting
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: in huddle and making the calls and all that as
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: supposed to stand on the sidelines. Uh, Kenny Walker too.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: You know, Kenny got into practice today. It was going,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: which was great. It's just it just brings these guys
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: back into the fold and they all want to be
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: out there. They all want to learn and get their
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: stuff right. So uh, it's a good step in the process.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: We'ren't going to be able to eat back into practice
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: next week, or you will know that.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: I check the docs. I don't know that he had. Yeah,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: any the starters play a little.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: Bit more this weekend.
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: The starters.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: It's a really regular guy guy like the regular guys. Yeah, yeah,
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: I don't have a clue on that one.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: I didn't know I was.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: Uh uh. I think he's got a growing thing that's
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: bothered him. No, because he played, he practiced with it,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: but he just felt like if he goes again, it's
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: gonna be something that aggravates, you know, on a regular
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: maybe ongoing. So we pulled him out. It's not bad
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: at all. How do I say that about that? Let
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: me check with it with the docs. In that one
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: come up for a couple of days. Uh, he had
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: a little quad thing that bothered him at the very
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: end of practice yesterday. We m right, I haven't heard
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: the results of the m RI, and and uh they
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: didn't let him go today, so we'll see a terrific
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: day yesterday. Unfortunately he couldn't finish it.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: He was to getting back for you at this point, or.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: Joey's Joey's jogging right now. I think I would bet
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: next week he comes back, and by the end of
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: next week he should be back out there. The doctor
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: in this deal. I'm not calling the shots, but that's
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: what I think about.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: Was this game almost too intense at times? The way
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: where the Andrews started poking about in practice and you
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: usually gets.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: No, not at all.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: Was it any more than any other years?
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: I think we stepped it up. Yeah. There was a call,
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: a call to return to the standards that we want
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: to practice and performed by, and uh so we have.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: I think we've done it more thorough a job of
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: making the point of how we want to go and
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: how we want to prepare ourselves to so that carries
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: over to the games. And uh, I think this is
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: better than we've been in the last three or four years.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: Was that a call through the team leaders or yourself?
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, you were talking to the Sorry you were
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: talking the other day about just kind of thinking from there.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: With riage and the need to really be locked in
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: with every single play. Is that is there a danger?
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: Put quarterbacks in particular positions with the danger, but you
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: may have to see a fall during your way forca
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: Is that a danger at that position or others?
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: I don't think it's a danger. I think it's the skill.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: I think it's the skill that they try to acquire,
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: you know, in a in a focus and a discipline.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: It's that way. I don't know that it's a danger,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: but uh, the best guys can find their way right
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: back to that very next play because you don't know,
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: you know, you don't know what's gonna happen when they're
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: going after you. So it's a skill we're developing, and
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: it's a consistency, and it's the language within to himself
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: that he talks, you know, to get him prepared one
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: play to the next, to the next and just washing
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: out what just happened. You know, you always know we
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: all talked about that, you know, mentality. Can he get
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: over the bad player or whatever. That's part of it.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: That's but that's just part of it. To play really
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: well and consistently, you got to get back for the
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: very next second, the very next chance you got. And
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: so that's what we're trying to develop.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: Just the best quarterbackers.
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: You start back Carl League's so.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: I got to go all the way back for the Vikes.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: That's a little bit more time. You know. Carl was
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: was a guy that I think he played at West Virginia.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: Was a safety. It was really fast, didn't have great
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: hands or great great ball skills, that kind of stuff.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: They're okay, they're okay. But when we moved him to
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: corner at the time, he was a four to three
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: guy back in the day, which he was really really fast,
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: and he had good length to him, all the right
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: makeup to be a good corner. But what he did
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: better than anybody I've ever coached is he he bought
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: in so much to the technique of it and the
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: skill of it that all he wanted to do is
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: get lined up on the guy he was he was covering,
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: and cover that guy. He didn't care what the situation
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: was in the game. He didn't care what the score was,
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: what kind of field was situated. Nothing. He just wanted
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: that one on one and he was terrific at it
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: went to the I think he went to the Pro
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: Bowl in the second or third year and had a
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: really good run at the second half of his career,
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: but he focused better to the point where he didn't
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: even want to watch film. He all, I just want
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: to cover this guy. I don't have all those other
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: plots in my brain. So he know, he came to me,
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: he said, okay for me to uh, you know, to
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: not want to watch film, you know, and I say,
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: you know, I was wondering if you want to get
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: out of the meetings, but uh, that wasn't the case.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: He just wanted to stay focused solely on what was
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: right in front of him, and that, to me, it
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: made him a great player in those days. He was
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: better than anybody ever had doing that. Thanks for asking.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: Were there are times last season where he felt like
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: he wasn't able to I mean, he didn could have
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: had I don't know. If I don't think it was bad,
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: plays could be anything. I mean he was he was
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: very raw, you know, and he was trying to react
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: to it and figure it out and find his way.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: You know, it could have been you know, stuff that
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: happened to somebody else, even that could have distracted him.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: So he played extremely well under the circumstances, and as
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: the season went on, he grew more into it, more
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: into it, and he acquired, you know, a sense and
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: a taste for what it takes to to really you know,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: to find your way back to the focus that you need.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: So he's doing well right now. He's on it right now.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: He's really grown fast. Such a great camp in the
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: few days he's been out here.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: Pat him and camp for a few weeks was Julian
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: loveshow on you He's.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: An all around player now, he can do everything. Remembery
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: said that he played over a thousand plays last year,
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: played over two hundred snaps of special teams. That kind
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: of that kind of staying power and focus, attention to
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: the details of all of the stuff that you do.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: It was a great sign for He's a very unique player,
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: very unique and special player. He's just got great awareness, uh,
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: great discipline about him, really good habits and a really
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: good mover. He's a guy that you you quickly learn
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: to trust, you believe in him, count on him man.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: So he's he's doing a great job so far. I'm
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: really fired up about him.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: He thought of Jared Reid's camp so far.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: From ok he's doing okay. He has a ton of
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: stuff to learn. He's playing nickel and playing safety and
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: all that. It's a ton of stuff for him. But
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: he's he's been flashy, you know, and he runs fast
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: and uh, he's been an aggressive kid. So he's done
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: some good things. It's he's he's you know, racing against
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: that learning curve, trying to see if he can catch
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: up with it. And then he's doing okay. He'll play again.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: He'll play a lot too early in camps.
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: Or apparently of piece with what you were saying with
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: Mario Edwards kind of before you guys got into the paths,
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: which after you guys started getting in the pause as
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: that sort of continued.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's been really consistent. He's a really intensity dude.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: He really plays hard and tough, physical and throws his
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: body around. He's he the mentality really fits. I love
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: what he's brought to us. And uh, he's doing a
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: nice job playing a couple different spots, moving around some
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: and we're really still zeroing in on how to play
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: him for in our passing down situations. But he's gonna
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: be part of it.
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: He brings it's a little different than Dragon and the
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: other guys around.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: Those three guys are all uniquely themselves. They're all different,
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: you know. And he's he's a hard he's a hard
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: hit now. You know, everything's physical first, uh, you know,
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: attack the guy that he's playing on and then see
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: what the ball is. You know, he's he's just a
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: very aggressive uh nature about him, that guy. I love
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: the way he plays and because he's different a little
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: bit some of the other guys in the way they play.
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: So we like that.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: Or that'd be good, Yeah, that'd be a nice thing.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: You know. We got to get Spoon back into action,
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: you know, we gotta get him back out see where
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: he fits into it all. And when he's out here,
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: he fits in, you know. So we just gotta get
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: him back on the practice field, see where where he is.
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: Time line up for what he's cooking mic right.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: Now, I don't I know, he's running some and and
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: it would look like the middle of next week or
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: something like that would be a time when he might
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: be able to do a lot more you know, but
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: if he gets through the weekend, it comes back out
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: of it and can get back to work and probably
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: Wednesday Thursday something.
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: Like that, and we might know a lot more.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: Bran. Yeah, he sprained his knee and a slight sprain.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: He's getting around okay. He feels okay about it. No,
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: it isn't serious, but it did swallo up enough where
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: we just had to hold him back. That's too bad too,
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: because he really did well in the first game and
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: they had a terrific first couple of weeks.
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: Well, he mentioned the other day he's still kind of
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: wrong when you say you guys using jump the first
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: and second year, he have, yes.
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: Yes, yes, And that's why I stayed on the butt
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: about it, because yeah, he could, because there's so many
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: things about his game that he can clean up that
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: aren't aren't aren't difficult to fix, and he's really working
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: at it. He's really he's got him kind of categorized.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: He's working at his stuff and uh, I don't want
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: to share with what it is, but it's but he
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: he's aware of it, and he wants to really clean
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: up his game, and he there's it's within his reach
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: for sure.
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: Have you ever had a player who was a pro
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: bowl level on that right, he had so raw and
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: so much with I mean, his floor is.
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: A lot higher than most of.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I thought Tyler was a great player in New England.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: He had great awareness and great sense. He was a
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: lot like Shuran. I've never coached anybody that has as
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: many skills as he has. And he's got everything you
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: could want. And uh, and he he doesn't. He doesn't
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: have to know everything to play well, you know. He
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: mean when he was he was playing last year learning
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: how to do it and all. He had a terrific
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: season for his first time out. And uh, and so
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: we just think about if we can clean up this
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: and clean up that, he's just going to be so
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: much more difficult to deal with. And so and he's
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: he's totally on board. We're all in it together. Get
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: that worked out.
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: How much talked about, how much stuff.
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: I don't expect he was.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: Sharpen mm hmm. Absolutely, Yeah, that's what I'm saying. He's
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: already made a jump. He's already jumped in. And uh,
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: he wasn't just out here hanging around. He was paying attention.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: He had a plan, he was working at it trying
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: to get his mind right and get things prioritized properly.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: And so he came out here and he looked good
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: from the first moment he was out and and uh, uh,
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: he's doing great stuff.
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: I haven't off the wall or standbacks on the Dallas
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: broadcast team. Now, I know he was here briefly. I
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: think you tried to the USC.
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: I'm just curious what you him there.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: Remember, Uh, he's a terrific competitor and a and a
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: really talented kid. Yeah, yeah, we would like to We
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: would like to have him on our team. We tried
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: a couple of ways. You know, he's still making progress.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: He hasn't made a jump yet. You know that we're
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: that we would go, okay, he's looking like he's on
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: his way back right now. Hasn't made that jump yet,
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: but he's worked hard at it, and he's you know,
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: it's not out of the realm of possibility that in
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: the next month or so, you know, he will make
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: it back out. We're hoping, you know, he could. It
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: really could be anywhere in there the next three weeks,
• 13:04
