  Speaker 2: Being new to this, this uh area of the system,
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: like it everything about it?
• 0:06
  Speaker 3: How is it?
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: How's it sort of transported for you?
• 0:08
  Speaker 4: Uh?
• 0:08
  Speaker 3: It's been good so far. Uh, just you know, hauling
• 0:11
  Speaker 3: in on the details that's being taught to me. Uh,
• 0:13
  Speaker 3: learning the new system uh for another year, uh, which
• 0:17
  Speaker 3: which is being pretty good. Uh. Just building trust between
• 0:20
  Speaker 3: players and coaches, all all the staff all together, and
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: you know, just going out there every day putting in
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: full for effort, you know, just to build that chemistry
• 0:29
  Speaker 3: with uh, with the team and going out there and
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: play the way we need to.
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: As you've seen the offense sort of grow when you
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: guys have been installing at what what has stood out
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: to you maybe about the offense without and giving away
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: the traits to your heart office.
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: Uh, just how complimentary things are. Uh. You know, we
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: we don't have just one focus on the past or Ryan.
• 0:46
  Speaker 5: Uh.
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: We compliment each other very well, especially with the guys
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: that we have in the room and the offense that
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: uh that was brought into us. You know, we all
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: make things happen. You know, we wanna Ryan for the pass,
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: and we wanna pass for the Ryane.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: So things like that. You know that M get this
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: offense going.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: Did you have an idea of what Trevor was like
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: as a player before you got here, and how is
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: that maybe changed after going through camp with him?
• 1:07
  Speaker 5: Uh?
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: Not necessarily, Uh, I P I played against him before. Uh,
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: and it was a long time agoing in college just
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: one year, so th that was kind of different because, uh,
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: where he came from in Clintland, you know, they was spreading.
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: He had some guys around him like t Higgins and
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: you know, Justin and all them guys. So I think
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: just him being him and learning him as well. You know,
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: he's he's a real leader. Uh. He's been real vocal
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: and communitive. Uh. You know, he wants us to be
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: on the same page, and he tells us what he
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: sees and we tell 'em what he what we see
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: as well. So just building that chemistry there and just
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: communicating with each other so we can all be on
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: the same page. It's it's big for us.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: How comfortable does he seem? Does he seem more comfortable
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: now significantly that he did maybe in OTAs when everything
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: was new. You know, he's still working on footwork stuff
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: and everything too.
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: Uh, most definitely, I I think that's that's for everybody.
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: You know, everybody's coming into a new system. We all
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: learning at the same time. Uh so it it will
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: start off slow just to learn and you know, get
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: the dail down. But you know, as as things been
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: going on, and we've been getting better, you know, each day,
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: and you could tell throughout through the days of camp.
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: But even in the preseason, like I, our drivets are
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: way better last week than than what it did the
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: first time. So you know, we ended up with points
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: and it's good for us.
• 2:15
  Speaker 6: How good can this pass uh catching group be? You, Travis, uh,
• 2:19
  Speaker 6: Brian even brand How good can you guys go?
• 2:22
  Speaker 5: Man?
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: We could be great. All we have to do is
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: go out there and focus every day, continue to do
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: the things that we need to do fundamentally, and uh
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: you know, don't let up.
• 2:30
  Speaker 6: That versatility that you all have. How much is that
• 2:32
  Speaker 6: gonna help the season when you guys get rolling?
• 2:34
  Speaker 7: Ah?
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: Man, it it helps a lot.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: We we have a lot of speed, even even our
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: running backs and have speed, you know, and and they
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: can get things done on third and short as well.
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: You know, if we wanna hand the ball off right
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: up the middle just to get a first down. You know,
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: I I think that that can help us out a
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: lot because it we don't have to just pick one
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: thing to do. You know, we can go out there
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: and scheme things up the way we need to.
• 2:51
  Speaker 8: You have to get sweep weep money. It's uh, it's great.
• 2:55
  Speaker 8: Is that a role you like and is that something
• 2:57
  Speaker 8: you wanna be a part of?
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: I think anyway to get but nah, it's it's it's
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: it's good to get those things, you know, because at
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: this point, it's a more than just a pass catcher
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: able to make things happen. You know, just find ways
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: to get get the ball. And it's not just meeting
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: the jet sweep. You know, Josh had got a jet
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: sweep too as well. So a lot of a lot
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: of us can get those things in order for us
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: to move the ball down the field.
• 3:19
  Speaker 8: How does that health the offense having that sort of
• 3:21
  Speaker 8: versatile anymore?
• 3:23
  Speaker 7: Uh?
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: Again, you can't just focus in on one thing, you know. Uh.
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: We as receivers, you know, we we wanna make things
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: happen in the in the run game as well. We
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: wanna block, you know, we we wanna get those jets
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: sweet so we can gain yards to get first downs.
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: Or even touchdowns, you know, to be able to help
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: us because you know, if we might can throw a
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: motion just to set off a defense and it could
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: be a jet sweep and might not. You know, so
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: throw things like that can help the offense.
• 3:44
  Speaker 8: Well, you looked off yesterday about the importance of our
• 3:47
  Speaker 8: receivers blocking in this offense. Is that something you guys
• 3:50
  Speaker 8: are embracing as a group.
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, most definitely.
• 3:52
  Speaker 5: Uh.
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: I don't know if y'all saw I saw a video
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: on Twitter or not too long ago. You know, we
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: did like a blocking blocking drill on the bags and
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: it was a funny coming It's there was like no blocking,
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: no rock. But I mean we we we want the
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: the banks to do good as well. You know, we
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: we wanna be you know, all together as one and
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: you know, unselfishly at at the same time, you know,
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: we we wanna win together and ways for us too.
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: When is you know, is to start blocking.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: Were you a little surprised that that jet sweep was
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: the calling fourth.
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: And one or no? Nah, I want surprise?
• 4:23
  Speaker 5: Uh?
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I any any I think that was just him
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: trusting me to get that first down on the fourth one.
• 4:29
  Speaker 8: W What excites do you about drawing practice.
• 4:30
  Speaker 9: Is going up against another team?
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: Uh?
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: Really it it It just allows us to go out
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: there and see somebody else, you know. Uh, it gets
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: us prepared and it gives us a different look as well.
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: So it we might going against our defense every day,
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: you know, we kind of wouldn't know what they could
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: think at the time, but going against somebody else and
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: how how we would see things for from a different structure, uh,
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: kind of helps us as well.
• 4:51
  Speaker 9: And then this is pretty off topic, but Bill Bell
• 4:52
  Speaker 9: and check out your almor monor. Is it kind of
• 4:54
  Speaker 9: been surreal just seeing him atarials gar Gear Uh.
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: Oh, not gonna lie it kind of it. It's kind
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: of weird me uh, I d I didn't think he
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: was gonna go back into coaching, uh, you know, from
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: from the career that he had, and you know, I'm
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: I'm surprised to see what they do this year.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: I know it's been a minute.
• 5:10
  Speaker 6: But that trip you guys took to the Bahamas, just
• 5:13
  Speaker 6: how beneficial was that to be able to e like
• 5:15
  Speaker 6: you s said multiple times, if everybody's news just be
• 5:17
  Speaker 6: able to keep building that bond.
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: Ah man, that that trip right there was amazing for
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: us because you know we're all new and that that
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: was the the first step of us getting together, and
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: you know, kind of building the chemistry and even like
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: knowing our time and getting our time and down and
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: knowing how each player run different routes and just understanding
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: what the quarterback wants and what we want at the
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: same time. So I think that trip right there was
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: just for us to go out there and be able
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: to communicate. But still, you know, build a bond outside
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: of football.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: Has your mindset transport all in terms of just you know,
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: going from Washington to now where you're being heavily featured
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: in the offense y you know, they're game planing specifically
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: to get to you. Has your mindset or or or
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: mental health improved or gone anywhere since then?
• 5:58
  Speaker 5: Uh?
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: For me, I just wanna take that next step for
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: keep getting better, you know, the one percent each day. Uh,
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: just focus on the same details that I need to
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: work on. Uh, stay fundamentally sound. Uh don't don't try
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: to do too much or get out of the way
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: of things. But I just want to go out there
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: and compete and be the best version of me. I
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: appreciate it.
• 6:16
  Speaker 8: Thanks.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, just you know, the going from week one pre
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: season to week two. Is that Is that what we
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: want to see in terms of the defense ort sort
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: of rebounding.
• 6:29
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I thought I thought the guys did a good job.
• 6:31
  Speaker 10: You know, we harped on communication, like I said the
• 6:34
  Speaker 10: last time I was up here. I thought we did
• 6:35
  Speaker 10: a better job of that in the game, and I
• 6:39
  Speaker 10: just thought we flew around a little bit more.
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: Now.
• 6:40
  Speaker 10: We gave him a little bit more uh on the menu,
• 6:43
  Speaker 10: you know, like I said the first game, I didn't
• 6:44
  Speaker 10: do too much, but I thought it was good. I
• 6:46
  Speaker 10: thought they handled the situation as well, communicated well, and
• 6:49
  Speaker 10: definitely started faster.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: Where have you seen the defense sort of grew over
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: the course of the last several weeks in training camp.
• 6:56
  Speaker 10: I just think there's a good camaraderie and I think
• 6:58
  Speaker 10: that does show up with community. I hate to keep
• 7:01
  Speaker 10: saying that, but I think guys really do a good
• 7:02
  Speaker 10: job of Right now are doing a good job or
• 7:05
  Speaker 10: a better job of communicating from where we were earlier
• 7:08
  Speaker 10: in the summer, and they're starting.
• 7:10
  Speaker 7: To know exactly what they're doing. They're playing with a little.
• 7:13
  Speaker 10: Bit more anticipation, and in my opinion, you either play
• 7:16
  Speaker 10: with it anticipation or anxiety, and I think the guys
• 7:18
  Speaker 10: are starting to play with a little bit more anticipation
• 7:20
  Speaker 10: and that's how big plays for me.
• 7:22
  Speaker 9: What does Colin Soners bring to the defense?
• 7:24
  Speaker 7: I mean, you know, toughness.
• 7:28
  Speaker 10: He is a really really twitchy guy in my opinion,
• 7:32
  Speaker 10: you know, watching him and all that, just watching him go.
• 7:34
  Speaker 7: Through the drills and everything. He brings a level of physicality.
• 7:38
  Speaker 10: I think he's got tremendous block release, to be honest
• 7:41
  Speaker 10: with you, when you.
• 7:42
  Speaker 7: Watch him, he does a really great job and not
• 7:44
  Speaker 7: staying blog hard to move inside in the interior.
• 7:47
  Speaker 10: So it's always great to have a twitchy guy like
• 7:49
  Speaker 10: that inside where you feel like you can still get
• 7:51
  Speaker 10: some rush even in the early down action once he
• 7:53
  Speaker 10: reacts to drop back or play action pass.
• 7:55
  Speaker 7: So he's got a great personality too.
• 7:57
  Speaker 10: If I know you guys probably got the chance to
• 7:59
  Speaker 10: meet him a litt He's a great dude.
• 8:01
  Speaker 9: And is there value in getting a guy who's played
• 8:03
  Speaker 9: in a lot of big games the level that he has.
• 8:06
  Speaker 10: Yeah, I think anytime you have a guy with experience,
• 8:08
  Speaker 10: that's definitely valuable, you know, and he's been in big
• 8:10
  Speaker 10: games and and he's produced obviously at a high level.
• 8:14
  Speaker 10: All over at two different places and shows up all
• 8:17
  Speaker 10: over the tape and.
• 8:18
  Speaker 7: It's got pretty good hands.
• 8:19
  Speaker 10: He had a heck of a pick there last year,
• 8:21
  Speaker 10: so I mean, and yeah, he was running with the ball.
• 8:23
  Speaker 10: That was pretty impressive too, So yeah, definitely definitely value
• 8:26
  Speaker 10: to that.
• 8:27
  Speaker 7: Yet he has not He has not. Yeah, no, I
• 8:30
  Speaker 7: haven't seen that. I'd be interested to see if if
• 8:32
  Speaker 7: you could do that. That's pretty impressive.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I'm curious how the mechanics work when like
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: Travis is playing both sides obviously, so he's on defense
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: and then he goes right on the field of offense.
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: But you guys are.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: Doing your adjustments and whatever tweaks and changes you're making
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: while he's out there on the field offense. So when
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: when who communicates all those changes to him when he
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: gets back.
• 8:53
  Speaker 10: Our defensive defensive back coaches do a great job with
• 8:56
  Speaker 10: that because they immediately go right to them, kind of
• 8:58
  Speaker 10: give them everything that we just went over with the
• 9:01
  Speaker 10: guys on the bench, you know, on the iPads, any changes,
• 9:04
  Speaker 10: any corrections we're making. Their job and what they've done
• 9:07
  Speaker 10: a good job of is just transitioning to grab Travis
• 9:10
  Speaker 10: as he's coming off, let him know exactly where everything's
• 9:12
  Speaker 10: at and the state of the state.
• 9:14
  Speaker 7: As it pertains to the next drive. So that that's
• 9:16
  Speaker 7: really how we've handled that.
• 9:17
  Speaker 8: It's got to be like, oh you really quick, right.
• 9:21
  Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, they really Uh they've done a great job
• 9:24
  Speaker 10: with that in practice, and then done a great job
• 9:26
  Speaker 10: you know of of course obviously the first game and
• 9:28
  Speaker 10: get the opportunity to do that with him too much
• 9:30
  Speaker 10: in the second game.
• 9:31
  Speaker 7: But yeah, they're they're really on it. They're doing a
• 9:33
  Speaker 7: good job with that.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: So that's when you know, you talk about communication between
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: the players, that's got to be.
• 9:39
  Speaker 10: Even Yeah, I think your sideline operation is is so
• 9:43
  Speaker 10: important just in general with the defense. You know, uh,
• 9:47
  Speaker 10: how your coaches get together right after the drive, you know,
• 9:49
  Speaker 10: what are the problem plays?
• 9:50
  Speaker 7: How are you fixing them?
• 9:51
  Speaker 10: You gotta be on it like that because those guys
• 9:53
  Speaker 10: on the other.
• 9:53
  Speaker 7: Side they're real good too, you know what I mean.
• 9:56
  Speaker 10: And uh, you got to have a plan, you know,
• 9:58
  Speaker 10: and if you don't fix something, you're gonna see it again.
• 9:59
  Speaker 10: And uh that's really it's a game of changing situations
• 10:04
  Speaker 10: and you obviously got to be able to adapt in
• 10:07
  Speaker 10: the moment.
• 10:07
  Speaker 7: And our coaches, I felt did a good job at
• 10:09
  Speaker 7: that the other day too.
• 10:10
  Speaker 11: Every new staff was to set a standard and create
• 10:13
  Speaker 11: a standard.
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: But in your experience, how much do you have to
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: lean on your veterans in the locker room to help
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: with that?
• 10:18
  Speaker 7: I think you always do.
• 10:19
  Speaker 10: I think the best teams are definitely player led more
• 10:21
  Speaker 10: than their coach led. Coaches play a huge part in that,
• 10:25
  Speaker 10: you know, set in the stage of the culture, but
• 10:28
  Speaker 10: the players play the game. The players win the game,
• 10:30
  Speaker 10: you know. I think as coaches would probably get too
• 10:32
  Speaker 10: much credit because these guys do.
• 10:34
  Speaker 7: They work their ass off every day, you.
• 10:36
  Speaker 10: Know, and then they got to go produce right there
• 10:38
  Speaker 10: in the what if moment, and they're really the guys
• 10:40
  Speaker 10: who set that culture. You have to have that in
• 10:43
  Speaker 10: your locker room. You gotta have that in your meeting rooms,
• 10:44
  Speaker 10: you gotta have that in your walk throughs.
• 10:46
  Speaker 7: You gotta have that, you.
• 10:46
  Speaker 10: Know, out here in practice, and you need it in
• 10:48
  Speaker 10: the game, you know. And you got to be able
• 10:50
  Speaker 10: to be around guys that you trust in order to
• 10:52
  Speaker 10: get that. And we do have some We're fortunate here
• 10:54
  Speaker 10: where we have some veteran leadership and guys that people.
• 10:57
  Speaker 7: Can lean on and they can trust, you know, which
• 10:59
  Speaker 7: is awesome.
• 11:00
  Speaker 5: How would you evaluate the interior of the defensive line
• 11:03
  Speaker 5: now with Colin and the Folds, but also having Mason
• 11:06
  Speaker 5: and Eric back during the team.
• 11:07
  Speaker 10: Yeah, that's I think it makes a difference. With all
• 11:10
  Speaker 10: those guys out there, they looked good. I thought they
• 11:13
  Speaker 10: did a good job in the rush today and you know,
• 11:15
  Speaker 10: do a good job in the run game. They're big,
• 11:17
  Speaker 10: explosive bodies, so I think that's gonna be a big
• 11:20
  Speaker 10: help to us, and that's something we're excited about.
• 11:22
  Speaker 5: You need to see something from them tomorrow versus do
• 11:25
  Speaker 5: you want to see them in the game Saturday.
• 11:27
  Speaker 7: Yeah?
• 11:28
  Speaker 10: No, I mean just the standard for them is we
• 11:31
  Speaker 10: want to see their best all the time.
• 11:32
  Speaker 7: Obviously, you know what I mean.
• 11:33
  Speaker 10: So whenever we're out there, we expect those guys to
• 11:36
  Speaker 10: make a difference for us, you know, and we feel
• 11:38
  Speaker 10: that they did a good job of that today and
• 11:40
  Speaker 10: we're expecting them to moving forward.
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: That's a case.
• 11:43
  Speaker 11: What do you get out of our practices?
• 11:45
  Speaker 10: I think it's just great anytime going against somebody else,
• 11:48
  Speaker 10: you know, it definitely raises the level of intensity.
• 11:50
  Speaker 7: And I don't care what anybody says.
• 11:51
  Speaker 10: You're out there competing against somebody else, you you got
• 11:55
  Speaker 10: the opportunity to see your team against a different opponent,
• 11:58
  Speaker 10: you know, and that excites to get guys. I think
• 12:01
  Speaker 10: it always had. Joint practice is always have a great
• 12:03
  Speaker 10: energy in my opinion. You know, they're usually physical or exciting,
• 12:07
  Speaker 10: and the guys were always excited to get out there
• 12:09
  Speaker 10: and competing at somebody else.
• 12:10
  Speaker 7: I like that, you know, I think it's a good thing.
• 12:12
  Speaker 5: How many guys from when you were down in Miami
• 12:14
  Speaker 5: were still on staff, so on the roster, and you keep.
• 12:16
  Speaker 7: In touch with a bunch of guys.
• 12:17
  Speaker 10: Yeah, some of the guys on the defense staff, I'm
• 12:20
  Speaker 10: super close with it, so yeah, keep in touch with
• 12:22
  Speaker 10: them a bunch, you know, yeah, very close. And then
• 12:26
  Speaker 10: a couple of guys on the team, you know, who
• 12:28
  Speaker 10: were there the whole time I was there. So definitely
• 12:30
  Speaker 10: a lot of great people there, and uh yeah a
• 12:32
  Speaker 10: lot of people are important to me there.
• 12:33
  Speaker 7: For sure.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: You weren't work out of.
• 12:36
  Speaker 7: During practice maybe a preseason game.
• 12:39
  Speaker 5: For four more.
• 12:40
  Speaker 7: I think that that depends.
• 12:41
  Speaker 10: I mean, everybody gets something out of the preseason game,
• 12:44
  Speaker 10: even if you're you know, you're not playing your starters.
• 12:47
  Speaker 10: The younger guys can develop so much just getting those
• 12:49
  Speaker 10: game situations and have to having to react in real time.
• 12:52
  Speaker 10: Uh you know, whether that's a two minute situation short yard.
• 12:55
  Speaker 10: It's like all those things come up and it came
• 12:57
  Speaker 10: up a bunch in the game for some of the
• 12:59
  Speaker 10: young guys the other day, where those are great teaching
• 13:01
  Speaker 10: moments for them they can really develop. But that's kind
• 13:05
  Speaker 10: that's a great question, but it depends. I think you
• 13:08
  Speaker 10: get a lot. You get a lot out of the
• 13:10
  Speaker 10: joint practice because you know, you see obviously you're going
• 13:12
  Speaker 10: to see your starters out there competing regardless of anytime
• 13:15
  Speaker 10: you go to a joint you're gonna get that, and
• 13:17
  Speaker 10: you get an opportunity to develop there too.
• 13:19
  Speaker 7: For sure, Lewis had.
• 13:20
  Speaker 8: A good career in Dallas. Do you think he's taking
• 13:23
  Speaker 8: the next level here with you?
• 13:24
  Speaker 10: In your defense, I just I don't necessarily want to
• 13:28
  Speaker 10: comment on what he did there.
• 13:29
  Speaker 7: I think obviously, like you said, he had a great
• 13:31
  Speaker 7: career there.
• 13:31
  Speaker 10: But he has been unbelievable for us just from a
• 13:35
  Speaker 10: human being, you know standpoint. He's just a great guy,
• 13:38
  Speaker 10: brings a great energy in our building every day. He's
• 13:41
  Speaker 10: such a competitor and just like a great guy like
• 13:45
  Speaker 10: you love being around him. You love coaching him, His
• 13:47
  Speaker 10: teammates love being around him. And you know, he's I
• 13:50
  Speaker 10: don't know how many years in now, what nine, ten years,
• 13:52
  Speaker 10: he's eight years, right whatever. I mean, he's laying out
• 13:54
  Speaker 10: in practice, you know, competing on every ball, and that's
• 13:57
  Speaker 10: just who he is, you know.
• 13:58
  Speaker 7: I mean, he's he's a competitive guy.
• 14:00
  Speaker 10: If he was working in an office building, he'd still
• 14:02
  Speaker 10: want to be the best guy in there.
• 14:03
  Speaker 7: That's just the way it is.
• 14:05
  Speaker 10: So I think he's, Yeah, he's kind of the epitome
• 14:08
  Speaker 10: of what you're looking for in terms of competitiveness and
• 14:12
  Speaker 10: the culture you want to have in your building.
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: Does the identity of a defense develop more in the
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: regular season or or can you really see what this
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: defense can be around this time?
• 14:23
  Speaker 7: Yeah? I think I think.
• 14:25
  Speaker 10: You know, the NFL season is along and it's been
• 14:28
  Speaker 10: my experience that the objective is to continue develop and
• 14:33
  Speaker 10: you know, be playing your best. Obviously as the season progresses,
• 14:38
  Speaker 10: you know, you want to see development and set your
• 14:41
  Speaker 10: culture in place. In the summer, for sure, you can
• 14:43
  Speaker 10: develop that develop the standard and the toughness. But to me,
• 14:46
  Speaker 10: that's so I'm you're working every day, you know, like
• 14:48
  Speaker 10: you gotta work it every day. You got to continue
• 14:50
  Speaker 10: to practice tough throughout the season. I was talking to
• 14:53
  Speaker 10: somebody about that the other day, somebody in the league,
• 14:56
  Speaker 10: And that's important that you constantly practice physical you practice toughness,
• 15:01
  Speaker 10: and you put guys in situations where they got to
• 15:03
  Speaker 10: compete every day because you know, toughness and culture that's
• 15:06
  Speaker 10: got to be cultivated and developed every day. So yeah,
• 15:08
  Speaker 10: I think as the season goes, you're just trying to
• 15:11
  Speaker 10: build and build and build every day all the way
• 15:12
  Speaker 10: up until the last game.
• 15:14
  Speaker 5: You do, like safety doing Eric, is that kind of
• 15:18
  Speaker 5: settled right now?
• 15:19
  Speaker 10: Those guys are still competing, so you know this this
• 15:22
  Speaker 10: joint will be great for that for us to see
• 15:24
  Speaker 10: some stuff there, and this game will be great for
• 15:25
  Speaker 10: us to see some.
• 15:26
  Speaker 7: Stuff there hopefully.
• 15:28
  Speaker 10: But we feel, like like I said last time, a
• 15:31
  Speaker 10: lot of these guys have done a good job. So
• 15:32
  Speaker 10: haves done a good job. You know, Antonio has done
• 15:34
  Speaker 10: a good job.
• 15:36
  Speaker 7: I thought he look, you know, before he got hurt,
• 15:37
  Speaker 7: doing a really good job.
• 15:38
  Speaker 10: So Rayon showed up a bunch, so he's doing a
• 15:41
  Speaker 10: good job as well, developing, And like I said last
• 15:44
  Speaker 10: time too, like we're gonna keep the competition live all
• 15:47
  Speaker 10: the time, and uh, just got a little bit more
• 15:50
  Speaker 10: to see here in camp.
• 15:51
  Speaker 8: Yes, how's going.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: I've got a question about like the mechanics. I mean
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: I just asked Camp about it. But traps go on
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: off and then next drive he's like right out there
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: on defense. But you guys are going over stuff and
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: changes and things what you've seen and all that other stuff.
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: So who has the responsibility of communicating that to Travis
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: when he comes back off the field defensively, because there's
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: like going to be a condensed amount of time before
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: he goes back on the field. Is that like, is
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: that what you're going to do or is there like
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: the Edgar going.
• 16:20
  Speaker 7: To do that?
• 16:20
  Speaker 8: Who does that?
• 16:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah, typically it'll be Edgar, But we have a really
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: strong support system underneath Aggre with Tedlman and John Van
• 16:27
  Speaker 4: Dam and some of the rest of the staff. So
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: we have a group of guys that'll do it kind
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: of by committee, helping him out as much as we can.
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: That's a kind of You guys have had the nice
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: to spend some time.
• 16:37
  Speaker 4: It's time to cut this off.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: You guys have had to spend a lot of time
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: kind of mapping out the things that you probably took
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: for granted, you know what I mean in terms of
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: dealing with Travis right the whole time, but because you
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: wouldn't have to normally worry about something like that.
• 16:51
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think, I think, I think, I think going
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: into it, you knew it was going to be unique challenges.
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: So we try to stay ahead of it as much
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: as we can. By likely him talking about mapping out
• 17:04
  Speaker 4: really every second of today, who he's meeting with, what
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: he's doing, trying to make the most of his time here.
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: So certainly something we're adjusting as we go, but going
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: into it, you know it's going to post some sort
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: of challenges.
• 17:15
  Speaker 5: William said it yesterday and certainly it's been a talking
• 17:18
  Speaker 5: point I think here in town.
• 17:19
  Speaker 8: Jonah taking a big leek.
• 17:21
  Speaker 5: What does that mean?
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: Well, it's it's the added depth on the offensive line,
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: which is always huge. You know, you're never, i think
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: he said, you're never comfortable with it, but it gives
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: you a little bit more sense of security knowing that
• 17:35
  Speaker 4: he can fill in the roles inside, whether it's guard
• 17:37
  Speaker 4: or center. What he's shown not only from a mental standpoint,
• 17:40
  Speaker 4: the physical standpoint has been encouraging.
• 17:44
  Speaker 7: You know, run game.
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: Whilest year obviously make great strides in Tampa.
• 17:47
  Speaker 7: When you see.
• 17:48
  Speaker 8: Him install that what stands out about why.
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: It can be a successful well, I think it kind
• 17:54
  Speaker 4: of starts with the mentality first and foremost, the way
• 17:56
  Speaker 4: you approach the run game, committing all eleven, the way
• 17:58
  Speaker 4: you're going to practice the run game, you put on
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: the techniques, fundamentals in the play style. I think just
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: starting with that foundation of how we approach the run
• 18:06
  Speaker 4: game lays that groundwork for the rest of the hopeful
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: success that we have throughout the year, whatever the scheme is.
• 18:14
  Speaker 9: Treverent, Liam, I've both kind of talked about this, but
• 18:15
  Speaker 9: how do you feel just the way Trevor's kind of
• 18:17
  Speaker 9: seeing things right now? You know, when the live action
• 18:19
  Speaker 9: in the preseason games.
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: I think he's certainly improved. He's taking steps, and he's
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: getting closer and closer. We all know that the work
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: is never done, so hopefully that progress continues all the
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: way throughout the season. But you certainly see the processing,
• 18:32
  Speaker 4: getting the third four to threads progressions and being able
• 18:35
  Speaker 4: to distribute the ball across the field, whether it's deep, short,
• 18:38
  Speaker 4: outside inside. You know, I think he's made progress in
• 18:41
  Speaker 4: all facets. We're throwing a lot at him, so it
• 18:44
  Speaker 4: continues to challenge him in some ways. So there's some
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: facets of the game where it might look like he's struggling,
• 18:49
  Speaker 4: but there's new things that he's still being always asked
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: to learn and adapt to for years.
• 18:53
  Speaker 9: Of good What kind of value you get out of
• 18:55
  Speaker 9: darge practices?
• 18:57
  Speaker 4: I think it comes down to the competition. It's great
• 18:59
  Speaker 4: for the guys and opportun to compete against somebody else,
• 19:01
  Speaker 4: against a different scheme, against different looks, against different pressures,
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: and then ultimately get an evaluation on us as an offense.
• 19:10
  Speaker 4: You know us as a staff, how well coached we are,
• 19:12
  Speaker 4: but the players individually win in their one on one matchups,
• 19:15
  Speaker 4: So it's it can be a good benchmark really to
• 19:17
  Speaker 4: see how you compete.
• 19:19
  Speaker 5: Marker Washington was pretty vocal last year about his ability
• 19:22
  Speaker 5: to flex inside and outside. What have you seen from
• 19:25
  Speaker 5: him in his attempt to try to play all three
• 19:27
  Speaker 5: positions but obviously complete I'll know that the slot is
• 19:30
  Speaker 5: where he made his living in college.
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a heavy task, especially in this offense, to
• 19:35
  Speaker 4: be able to play all three positions and really line
• 19:37
  Speaker 4: up anywhere in the field, especially because of the amount
• 19:39
  Speaker 4: of splits and different formations we're going to line up in.
• 19:42
  Speaker 4: So not only is it playing inside, but it's inside
• 19:44
  Speaker 4: and you're stacked up, but you're inside in a bunch,
• 19:45
  Speaker 4: then you're outside in a bunch, then you're outside all
• 19:47
  Speaker 4: outside the numbers. So it's a huge range of both
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: route tree blocking assignments, different alignments that he has to manage.
• 19:55
  Speaker 4: So just the mental aspect of him being able to
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: gain the level of mastery to go out there and
• 19:59
  Speaker 4: play position one play and then turn around the very
• 20:01
  Speaker 4: next position or play and play a totally different position
• 20:04
  Speaker 4: and line up in a completely different spot and really
• 20:06
  Speaker 4: be asked to express a different skill set on a
• 20:09
  Speaker 4: play to play basis. So that's been really impressive. And
• 20:12
  Speaker 4: then you see the plays that he makes when he
• 20:14
  Speaker 4: gets the opportunity ball thrown his way.
• 20:16
  Speaker 5: But you've seen him do both, which is maybe a
• 20:19
  Speaker 5: surprise or pleasant surprise we'll call it, from when you
• 20:21
  Speaker 5: guys got here and maybe what you thought he could
• 20:23
  Speaker 5: have been.
• 20:24
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know that you call it a surprise
• 20:25
  Speaker 4: because you see the flashes of it. It was just ultimately
• 20:28
  Speaker 4: building that level of consistency and giving him the opportunity
• 20:31
  Speaker 4: to go out there and make those plays, which he's
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: taken advantage of.
• 20:33
  Speaker 8: Do you see him having a bigger role this season
• 20:35
  Speaker 8: compared to the past. I know you haven't been here.
• 20:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know how much I could speak on
• 20:39
  Speaker 4: comparative to the past, but I certainly think he'll be
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: a really big part of our offense. And like I said,
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: the plays that he's making, that flexibility he provides to
• 20:47
  Speaker 4: play multiple positions, you know, sets him up for that success.
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: What makes him the player him, what makes what makes
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: Theamie Brown such a good fit for this offense.
• 20:58
  Speaker 4: It kind of goes back to the way he works
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: and the way he's tried to embrace his role. He's
• 21:03
  Speaker 4: another guy you're asking, dude things that he hasn't done
• 21:05
  Speaker 4: in the past.
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: Whether it's in the run game, you see.
• 21:07
  Speaker 4: Him doing a lot of dirty work blocking and it's
• 21:10
  Speaker 4: not always just you know, some deep shots or ball
• 21:13
  Speaker 4: in hand type plays. He's got a pretty wide route tree.
• 21:15
  Speaker 4: So it's that balance and that flexibility that he provides.
• 21:18
  Speaker 4: Even though he's not playing multiple positions like Parker is,
• 21:21
  Speaker 4: he's still asked to do a lot of different things
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: that helps us stay balanced. As an offense and gives
• 21:27
  Speaker 4: him opportunities in the past game, because you know, the
• 21:28
  Speaker 4: more we can be a legitimate run threat with him
• 21:31
  Speaker 4: in the game and in different alignments and positions, the
• 21:33
  Speaker 4: more opportunities he'll have in the pass game.
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: The more you've seen him throughout the summer, has that
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: changed maybe how you guys envisioned his role being back
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: in February maybe or back in March when you sign him.
• 21:43
  Speaker 4: I think that's one of the great things about training camp.
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: You probably go into the spring with a vision for
• 21:48
  Speaker 4: each player. Over the course of the spring, it changes
• 21:51
  Speaker 4: a little bit. Then you put the pads on and
• 21:53
  Speaker 4: get out here and you compete full speed against the defense,
• 21:55
  Speaker 4: and then it changes a little bit, and then we'll
• 21:57
  Speaker 4: go to joint practice and we'll probably change a little
• 21:58
  Speaker 4: bit more. So it's always a vault, whether it's him
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: or anybody on the team. Kind of your vision for
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: what they do, what they do well, how we can
• 22:04
  Speaker 4: utilize that player is always evolving.
• 22:06
  Speaker 6: William said yesterday that he kind of buzzes around the
• 22:09
  Speaker 6: league and he takes creativity from around.
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: The league when design and plays, and.
• 22:13
  Speaker 6: He also said he leans on you guys, So just
• 22:15
  Speaker 6: where do you kind of get your creativity from when
• 22:17
  Speaker 6: it comes to design and plays or the way you
• 22:20
  Speaker 6: you know.
• 22:22
  Speaker 4: I think it's a lot of things. Not each place
• 22:25
  Speaker 4: kind of comes you the same way, So it depends
• 22:27
  Speaker 4: on which play and what you're looking at or what
• 22:29
  Speaker 4: you're trying to get done at the time. I think
• 22:31
  Speaker 4: for me, at least, a lot of it starts with
• 22:33
  Speaker 4: trying to get a conceptual understanding of either what I'm
• 22:35
  Speaker 4: trying to do or what we're trying to do, and
• 22:38
  Speaker 4: then what the defense is doing, how they're build how
• 22:39
  Speaker 4: they're structured. So I don't know that I could necessarily
• 22:43
  Speaker 4: answer where the creativity comes from. That's probably a deeper
• 22:45
  Speaker 4: question for somebody, you know, smarter than me. But it
• 22:48
  Speaker 4: really starts with foundationally, like what are we trying to
• 22:51
  Speaker 4: get done? And what are they doing? And then how
• 22:52
  Speaker 4: can you attack that.
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: You guys call plays during preseason games and stuff like that,
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: like the fourth and one JetSuite to DM. Do you
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: guys sometimes call certain plays in the preseason to send
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: a message, whether it's to your own.
• 23:05
  Speaker 8: Team or the rest of the league or am.
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: I just looking too much into that? Like you know,
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: it's fourth to one and like Hey, we'll run this
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: jet suite. But now everybody in the rest of the
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: league is looking at it going, oh, though, they're not
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: just going to line up and smack it in the mouth.
• 23:19
  Speaker 7: You know what I mean, I know what you mean.
• 23:22
  Speaker 4: I think part of it is you want to be
• 23:25
  Speaker 4: focused on what we can control, and we're focused on us.
• 23:27
  Speaker 4: So we're trying to develop our offense more so than
• 23:30
  Speaker 4: being worried about what the other defenses are doing or
• 23:32
  Speaker 4: what we're trying to put on tape necessarily for defenses.
• 23:35
  Speaker 4: We're really focused on developing our offense, our guys, putting
• 23:38
  Speaker 4: them in the situations to be successful when the season comes.
• 23:40
  Speaker 4: So that's probably the first principle, you know, that's the
• 23:43
  Speaker 4: starting point of focus, and then what the defense doing
• 23:45
  Speaker 4: and all that kind of comes secondary and tertiary after that.
• 23:49
  Speaker 11: In a lot of situations, four running backs would be
• 23:52
  Speaker 11: one too many if you ever had four true tailbacks before,
• 23:56
  Speaker 11: and under the assumption that's twenty five guys, someone else
• 24:01
  Speaker 11: in another position group is going to lose his job.
• 24:04
  Speaker 7: What are those conversations been like.
• 24:06
  Speaker 4: Well, I think the running back position is a little
• 24:07
  Speaker 4: bit like when we talk about the offensive line position,
• 24:09
  Speaker 4: where how often do you get through an entire year
• 24:13
  Speaker 4: where one guy's the starter and he's carrying seventy five
• 24:16
  Speaker 4: eighty percent of the reps or eighty percent of the
• 24:19
  Speaker 4: carries every single game for all seventeen weeks and into.
• 24:21
  Speaker 11: The playoffs hopefully right.
• 24:23
  Speaker 4: Probably pretty rare nowadays in the NFL. So it's great
• 24:26
  Speaker 4: to have the depth at that position, to have a
• 24:28
  Speaker 4: stable of backs that can do it by committee, and
• 24:30
  Speaker 4: all have different strengths and weaknesses, and all can provide value.
