• 0:22
  Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of hard work, a lot
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: of attention to detail, a lot of good corrections that
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: we're going in today. If we can continue to build
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: on what we have here today, it's gonna make us
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: a good football team. Nick Foles earlier was talking about
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: the third installation of this offense. Is it easier the
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: third time around, and you can go out and on
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: the field and actually put it in a little easier.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: How does that work the third time around? Of course,
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: the third time that you hear everything that goes in,
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: it makes it a lot, makes it simpler, Uh, it
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: makes things quicker, It makes you come out you're not
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: so much talking about what routes you have on each play.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: You you talk more so about the technique, the the
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: little things, the nuances of the offense, and you can
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: start to polish. And once this once this office gets
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: offense gets polished, it just gets faster, it gets more efficient,
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: and you can start putting in wrinkles. And so we're
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: at that point right now where we're just polishing things
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: up and we're trying to trying to take it day
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: by day, but but really critiqued the little things. What
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: is this offense going to be known for? What's the
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: bread and butter at the end of the day. Is
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: it too early to tell? I think it's too early
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: to tell. I think every every team has their own identity.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: And uh, this offense staff and players is is very
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: very young in its life cycle. Um, and so we'll
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: we'll take time and just work on being consistent and
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: and being good at at the things that we work at.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: And you know, I you it'll start taking shape. It
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: will starts taking shape and the next next month or so.

• 2:26
  Speaker 1: any technique, any defense, uh, any route combination, and you
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: can you can bring it to him and you can
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: start talking about Okay, so this is what I saw,

  Speaker 1: what do you think in this situation? And he can
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: give you four or five different variations off of the
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: same play. Uh. And it really, it really adds a
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: lot of tools to your toolbox as a as a technician,
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: as a receiver, and it makes it so that you
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: can come out here and you're not guessing. It makes
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: it so you can attack what's on your checklist for

  Speaker 1: checklist of things you want to get done each practice

  Speaker 1: or two things, one or two things that I that
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: I've noticed from the practice film of the previous day
• 3:07
