  Speaker 1: It's going well. Yeah, we're obviously now we've got the
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: pads on, working our way up, and guys look great
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: for the most part. We're pretty healthy right now, So
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: that's that's big early in camp obviously, and then um,
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: I feel like we're making a lot of progress, get
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: a lot of work done. We're seeing a lot of
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: different looks from our defense and vice versa, and really
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: just um, I think we're getting a lot better operationally.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: Have you been pleads with guys knowing their assignments and
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: not having to stop things. Yeah, yeah, I think that's
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: one of the one of the big things. Obviously, when
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: you get a new staff, get some new players, new system,
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: all those things. Um, that's one thing you you try
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: to limit his mistakes and obviously you're gonna have some
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: early on. But really we've been pretty clean today. I
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: had a couple, you know, pre snap things, both sides
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: of the ball. I just gotta work out. But that's
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: part of camp and just getting back to pads full speed,
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: those game raps. Just being smart, um, so clean some
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: of that up. But I think as far as just
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: knowing your assignment offensively, the guys have done a really,
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: really great job and now it's just you know, iron
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: out all the little details so we're all on the
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: same page and really clean about when you had progress personally,
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: I'm spring and all of other stuff. But is there
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: always a part of you to go to the vault
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: it's gonna look like I want to get OUTPI or
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: feeling pre king. Is there a part of you that
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: said one is out of Yeah, I mean not not really.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: I mean you just have you gonna have confidence in
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: the work you put in and how you've prepared yourself.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: I think that's what gives gives you confidence is knowing
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: that you're prepared. So you know, I know, I know
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: that I'm prepared mentally, physically, all those things. Had a
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: really great offseason, had a great spring with these guys, um,
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: and then just building every day. Like I said, it's
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: not really even about how you look on day one.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: Obviously you want to look great, but UM, it's about
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: how you get better every day. And when you know
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: September comes and we're playing in Washington, how we look
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: on that day is most important. So UM, just building
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: to that point and I feel like we're in a
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: great spot and um, you know, I'm happy with heere
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: we're at. But like I said before, I got a
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: lot of work to do. What are you most excited about?
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: Like what excites you the most? Um, A lot of things, honestly,
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: just I'd say, uh, just the amount of playmakers we
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: have everywhere. We have a lot of speed, a lot
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: of talent, really too deep at pretty much every position.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: So you see that we got we got a few
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: more young guys to this year that we can bring along,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: and we brought in some older guys to to just
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: help boost this offense. And I mean we look good,
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: We're really explosive, We're making plays, and like we talked about,
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: guys just are knowing their assignments, knowing their adjustments. I
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: feel like it's been really clean for the first week
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: of camp. Usually you're having a lot more things to
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: teach off of, and we still have plenty. But I'd
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: say just the little things, the field of the game,
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: feeling zones on certain routes, all those things. The guys
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: are doing a great job. So just trying to keep
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: adding to that. I was, what's that relationship? Yeah, yeah,
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: Luke has been great. It's interesting. I think I think
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: Luke's two years older than me. And he's a rookie
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: this year, so it's funny seeing some of these guys
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: coming that are older than me. But um no, he's
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: been awesome, really smart guy, really athletic as well, and
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: I think just the jump that he's made from the
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: spring to camp has been huge. You know, see him
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: in the spring, he's still trying to figure it all out,
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: getting working on, you know, getting some of the calls,
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: learning the system, all those things, and then when he's
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: here for camp now he looks great, really sharp directing
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: the guys up front. You know, it helps having Shatley
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: who's done it for shoot whatever eight or nine years now,
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: um by his side to help him through that, and
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: Sheriff on the other side. So he's got guys to
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: help him. But really to see him take ownership of
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: that and um really leading up front has been cool
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: to see. And I think we got a lot a
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: ton of potential there to build off of and really
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: excited to just keep working. He's just you need to
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: know where all the boonies are, very like in terms
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: of learning the offensive stuff. So like, how many poems
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: didn't like what is that process? Interesting question? Yeah? I mean, um,
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: there's just there's obviously, like every offense, UM, there's little
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: things that you just learned, and deeper and deeper every
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: time you go through something like little nuances based on
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: certain coverages, certain checks. So it gets to where you
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: install it one way and these are all your options
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: versus all the different coverages. This is where we see
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: the ball going. Obviously it's not and could go somewhere
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: else versus that coverage. But then you get to the
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: point where it all it all opens up and it's like, okay,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: this is also something you could check to if you
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: don't like this look and you see you have a
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: match up here, and then it goes off of that.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: And so it's always evolving and really, um, you gotta
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: figure out what you like, what your guys do well,
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: and kind of meet in the middle on that. And
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: that's what that's what it's cool about camp, working through
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: all those things and when you see it come together,
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: you have a play and you check it and it
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: works just like you you're both thinking, that's that's a
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: cool part different. Oh yeah, for sure. Every week. I
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: mean every week there's things that are added. You know,
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: you present something one way that looks like something you
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: did the week before, two weeks before. Then you change
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: one thing about it. It's just always evolving. Earlier last week, Um,
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: with him missing all that, do things as that I'm
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: closing with him get back in. Yeah, I think we're
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: in sync. You know, we were able to throw a
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: little bit of this this offseason when he was in town,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: and we're able to get together. And we've always had
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: a We've always had a good, uh um little relationship
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: between us two. So that's not been that's something that
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: we didn't lose, so we still have that. And honestly
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: just glad to have him back. He's a big playmaker
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: and just seeing him, you know, working himself back. You
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: can see him starting to flash more and more every day.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: I'm just excited. I think, you know, when September comes,
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: he's gonna be hitting his stride like a parent. I
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: think he you know, I honestly think he looks like
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: he's in better shape than I thought he was. Our
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: last year. Climpson, I mean, obviously was great, played played
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: great all that, he was fine. But I think right now,
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: like he looks his body looks great. I think he's
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: running really well. Um picking up the offense, done a
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: great job in protections, all the all those things that
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: we're asking him to do. He's done a great job.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: Every time we're in the huddle, he comes up and
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: he's just like drying his hands off my tael even
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: though he has one. So that's why he said that
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: he's done that for four years now. So no done bother.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: I mean, I just gotta switch out my towel more
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: often than normal. Those are moments after plays where you
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: know you're hard laying out for the first year in
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: our day and going on the route official just having
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: moments camp it's big. I mean, there's so many, Like
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: I said, there's so many different things you can do
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: each play, each route U versus every different coverage, and
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: you need just need to talk about it. It's when
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: it's fresh on your brain. He did this all I
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: throw the ball here. Maybe maybe we completed it, but
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: I was thinking something different or he wanted to come
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: out of the route differently, and just being able to
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: talk about it right when it happens. And then you know,
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: we got our iPads out here so we can't even
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: look at it now directly on the fields. That was
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: nice having today. Um, just keeping that dialogue going same
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: thing in meetings, grabbing those guys and talking to him
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: about the routes and kind of what we're expecting is
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: at the end of the day, we're the ones, you know,
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: playing on the fields. You've got to know what to
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: expect from each other. This defense, Dailey, now it's Pad
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: and red Zil on the other day. How much there
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: are you seeing they even last seen ven from the
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: starting end. It's about just our our defense or defenses
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: in general. Yeah, I mean, I'll saw off our defense
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: looks great. I think it's awesome how many looks they
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: give us. I mean, in one practice you'll see twelve
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: fifteen different coverages and it change everything. They bring all
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: these different pressures. So just having that those reps in
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: practice to where every play um protectionally, you're gonna be
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: challenged and you're gonna have to try to figure it
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: out on the on the fly. I think that's great
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: for our offense, especially having a rookie center up front
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: to see all that. Now, Um, and then to just
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: our defense is a bunch of playmakers. You look at
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: the guys in the edge, the guys inside. Our backers
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: are super athletic, and we don't even have devon going
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: full speed again yet and he'll be back soon. So
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: you look at all that, and then on the back end,
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: Tyson and Shack and Ray Sean and Cisco and all
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: these guys, and like I said, on offense, we're like
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: too deep everywhere, And just to look at the depth
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: that we've built compared to last year, it's really cool
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: to see. And I just think guys are playing well,
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: flying around and starting you can see it's starting to
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: click more and more both sides of the bond. It's
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: getting really really competitive, which is fun. We're good, all right, y'all.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: Thank y'all.
