  Speaker 2: by the way he coaches and those guys lucky to
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: have him work with Samos the past and he does

• 0:46
  Speaker 2: the tape. The tape taels at all. He grew a lot.

• 0:53
  Speaker 2: he's studying, he's he's teaching, the young guys helping me
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: get the system taught, as well as guys like Cooper Cup.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: But uh, really impressed with Sam thus far, impressed with
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: Drew and pressed with Jail. That's that's three really good players.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: How similar is what you're doing right now to with
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: Donald with San Francisco, you.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: Know, it's it's a good starting point. We're we're putting
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: our own system together and not giving away any trade secrets.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: But you know, right now just putting in some base
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: offense and and having those guys go out next to
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: you every day, what are you mind about.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: Seeing that person the way he moves, where he throws.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: A Spiders team.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: Get a chance to see him.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: Plus, number one thing that stands out is a guy
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: as a worker.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: You got.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: You see him in there atour thirty in the morning
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: on the field going through his play and nobody asks
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: him to do that, but he's out there putting an
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: extra time. I've seen him grow a lot from Rocky
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: Minie Campton now. So I've been impressed with.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: With the kid the offensive line. I know it's hard
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: to jalize whether there's no path and stuff like that,
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: but just kind of what are you seeing out of
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: those guys with how great.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: So they do that's part. Yeah, that's a It's a
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: young group, which is fun because you get to mold
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: those guys and to coach Benton and coach j O
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: and Rick Dennis Center spend a lot of time with
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: those guys and they're responding. Gray's been doing a fine job.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: We have a lot of competition up front offensive line,
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: so guys are moving around and because of that, there's
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: just a lot of there's a there's a high spirit
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: every day of guys trying to win a job. What
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: is it?
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: A way about the way Coach Becker goes about.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: The job in hand with composition, the Uye Kim kind
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: of lives. They appreciate. I think he's a supreme teacher.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: Holds his guys accountable. But the man can teach and
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: he stands up in front of our offense every day
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: and leads the room, leads the run game and works
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: alongside Rick, who's the same way a great teacher. Kennedy
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: Paul Moo mac Brown's a phenomenal coach, tight ends Coach Frismon.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: Jackson's coaching the run game like like any offensive line
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: coach would right now too so I'm just we're really
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: blessed to have a whole staff of really talented coaches.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: Lead of that run game back.
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: What are your first impressions now that you've got to
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: see this whole array of running backs on the field
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: and that the different skills.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: Sets those guys had.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's early. You'll see the pads come on
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: in the fall and then you'll then we'll see who
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: our best running backs are. You know, this time of year,
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: we're out there practicing in underwear, so they're their maiding
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: skill set doesn't get to shine through. But I've been
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: really pleased with, uh, the detail they're putting in, and
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: they have a phenomenal coach and Kennedy and he's gonna
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: stay on them.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: Coming back to where does the composition stand right now?
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: Off right guard, that right guard with five practices in
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: it's wide open, brother, and.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: With the old line, what are you looking for right now?
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: Like you say, their early power movement, getting the concepts.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: What really are y'all trying to do right now?
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: Early?
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we're really trying to be be great teachers and
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: install a basic system, you know, trying to put in
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: a zone run game and and put in a new language.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: You know, we're trying to get guys all speaking the
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: same language and using precise words precisely, and you know,
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: learning a new cadence. I mean every day is the
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: first day, these first five installs, you know, So we're
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: just doing a lot of teaching and we're correcting the film.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: Obviously seeing super Cup from Afar from all the working
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: t stamps.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: Math off player uh stands most upon him is very
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: similar to what I said about Jalen. It's just his
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: work ethic. He's he's in there early, he's staying late,
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: asking a lot of great questions, and then he's he
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: just leads leads by example right now. You just he's
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: in there early with the quarterbacks and it's hard to
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: get him out of the building. He wants to be
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: great and then all his all his tangibles and intangibles
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: are rubbing off on the younger guys.
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: What do you evaluate about yourself in your own performance
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: and growth as as what's a coordinator?
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah? How much how much we win? That's what it
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: all comes down to. So that's where we all got
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: to all have to be better.
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: How much do you see like play calling versus you know,
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: play design versus you know, preparation, execution practice. You know,
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: which of those do you feel like are areas you
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: know you want to see.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: You know growth? Yeah, well, I think if you're not
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: trying to get better than the rest of the leagus
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: catching up to everything that on film last year, you know,
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: those are the things that they're practicing when they go
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: to prepare for us. So we have to make sure
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: that we're not we're not predictable, and but this time
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: of year, we're not worried about that. We're just worried
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: about having great fundamentals, you know, teaching our system, holding
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: our guys accountable. That's what's most important because when the
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: season starts and you start putting in new plays, that's
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: what's kind of help you win games, is great fundamentals
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: and effort.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: New Orleans last year your offense was amongst the league leaders,
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: like getting passive plays outside the pocket. Obviously not all
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: of that is by design, but what is what's your philosophy.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: On that, what you play off with? I think just
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: moving the launch point is a part of part of
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: what we do when we have the opportunity to do it,
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: to extend the down longer, and push the ball down
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: the field. So I think if we just if we're
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: always staying in between the two guards, it just makes
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: life a lot harder for the for the signal caller,
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: so trying to help him out.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: You had that about this Stantley in New Orleans for
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: att while latter. What did you see out of him there?
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: And what can you kind of bring here or what
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: kind Yeah, I just saw a really intelligent guy that
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: could play all the spots. Andy made plays, you know,
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: came to us in the middle of the season, learned,
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: learned a new system, and just really impressed with his
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: intellect and the type of teammate that he was. And
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: he's picked up right where he left off.
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: How important is it to pay a second level of
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: defense and conflict and how much are you trying to
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: accomplish that with.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: With your offense? Yeah, I think if you don't show
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: him that, you're gonna push ball down the field and
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: go start squatting on you. So we gotta we gotta
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: prove that we can do that, and you got to
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: you gotta earn that right too by running the ball
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: so that they will step up beyond.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: The work ethic much dand at you about how Yalen plays.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: Just you know, he's a he's a heck of an athlete,
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: number one. But you know, the guy's putting a lot
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: of time in learning a brand new, brand new way
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: of communicating an offense and uh, just his ability to
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: to make plays with his feet right now. He's got
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: excellent arm strength, great athleticism, and he's in the process
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: of of having his mind catch up to his feet.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: And there's a lot of the whole offense is doing
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: that learning a new system. So but he's he's doing
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: a heck of the about it thus far.
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: Obviously, fans get excited about the idea of Jaylen Milroe
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: coming in and special packages, and obviously it's way early
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: for all that stuff we talk about, like the decision
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: factors and when you take a starting quarterback off the
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: field and put in a specialty package versus stick with
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: your starter.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they gotta go earn in practice. So when they
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: show it, then that's when it's time. Thanks Lett, Thank
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: you for thanks
