  Speaker 1: Leave what kind of start plitz turn had just work
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: kind of impression that you should do for three days.
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought, you know, day one was not you know,
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: his best or our best as a receiver were, you know,
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: as a crew. I thought yesterday was very sharp. I
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: thought he did some I mean, some of the throws
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: he made yesterday were legitimate, like big time, big time
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: throws that you know, you're really excited about seeing. I
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: thought there was some things in the red zone today
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: that he did really well. And I think there's a
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: couple of clips that we can learn from in terms
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: of just how fast things happened down there. And for
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: like a bigger dude. Something we're just working on is
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: like some of the routes that a concept maybe that
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: you run in the red zone that you also run
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: up the field, that the footwork up the field maybe
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: like three steps in the in the gun or hitch,
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: it has to be a different footwork in the red zone.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: So like, those were some things that came up a
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: little bit of how fast, uh it happens down in
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: the red area, and with such limited inventory of red
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: zone concepts in a lot of what we were running
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: was things that we were also running up the field.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: So a couple of those things came up. But in
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: terms of running the show, the operation, and also accuracy
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: and putting the ball on the guys and spreading it out.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: I mean, I think you're seeing it really well right now.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: It's playing this vacarium at this point.
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: How is when taking advantage of it?
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he is.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: I mean, you know, Patrick, we're trying to be smart.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: It's a long year, it's a long camp. He's a
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: pros pro. I know exactly he's not gonna, you know,
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: miss a beat in terms of knowing what he has
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: to do, the scheme, the concepts, all that. I mean,
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: love to get him more, but it's it's smart. I
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: think it's the right thing to do. And I'm not
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: worried about him. But it's a great opportunity for why
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: and for all, you know, some of those other guys
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: to get more reps with the first group, right, Like,
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: that's just different when you get reps and Trevor's talking in,
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: you're protecting for Trevor and you're working with the first group.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: It's definitely a little bit more of a heightened sense
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: of urgency. And I'm pleased with the way why it's
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: responded so far.
• 2:00
  Speaker 5: So Remberge pressure does to take off of you a
• 2:02
  Speaker 5: your job and the big picture to have the special
• 2:05
  Speaker 5: teams the three main guys operate such a peak level
• 2:08
  Speaker 5: of efficiency. Yeah, but what you go into the season,
• 2:11
  Speaker 5: but those guys you kind of you know exactly where
• 2:13
  Speaker 5: you're gonna get totally.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: I mean being in LA in the early years like
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: eighteen and you had the three specialists that we had,
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: and you know, with a special teams coach returning and
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: you don't have as much turnover there. I mean that's
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: huge to have that continuity chemistry Like I don't. It's
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: not like I'm coaching any of those guys on how
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: to kick, you know, or what to do from that standpoint.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: So they're very diligent and detailed in the way that
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: they go about their business and approach. And I think
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: Heath and Luke and those guys do a phenomenal job.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: The players trust them that not just schematically, but they
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: trust that they have their best interests in mind, and
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: they love to play for those guys. And I think
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: that the leadership of obviously Logan and Ross and Cam
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: continuing to come into his own. I think the players.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: The other players on the special teams units just have
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: so much confidence because those three set the tone right
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: certainly proven what a great all around player he is
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: for you guys.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: But what are some areas that you're looking to see
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: out of him in terms of the evolution of his game.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think just removing him from the core a
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: little bit more and getting him out in space a
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: little bit more so, all right, whether it's at the
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: slot position, whether it's at number one and a three
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: by one to the to the trip side, or put
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: him one on one on the back side, Like I've
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: got to move him around a little bit more so
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: that he's get you know, gets put in positions to
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: run routes. Maybe he's not always going to be running
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: right that middle of the field in which he's done
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: such a great job of working. Something that I'd like
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: to be intentional of over the next few days is
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: just putting him in some more receiver positions and just
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: moving him around a little bit to get his skill
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: set to continue to expand.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: Of coaching with Travis during Indie, Josh, Colm Port and
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: our those moments.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: Being he has to split time. That's they're they're so
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: crucial to have the time, and you have to be
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: extremely intentional with that time when we have him, because
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: it is limited. I mean, just first out of ball,
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: especially right now. Offensively, it's just over here a little
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: bit less when you're doing some of the individual work,
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: and you know, it's shown a little bit with some
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: of the timing that we need to continue to work on,
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: and that's why those guys get some more extra work
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: after practice. But you know, I'm pleased with the way
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: he's at least attacked everything that we're trying to do.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: Would have liked to see those guys, you know, come
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: down with that fifty to fifty ball down here. But
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: you know, I'm never really concerned with Travis's ability to
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: try to stay locked in and to be present wherever
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: he is in the moment.
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought today he had a really nice day.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: You know, got his hands on a lot of balls today.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: I mean, he he's physical when he plays with anticipation
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: and just plays free and he's not overthinking it, and
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: we're not maybe putting him in positions to overthink. He's
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: able to just go play and he's a physical dude
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: at the line of scrimmage. He likes to be up
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: front and challenge people in their faces. He likes to
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: do those things, and so we got to continue to
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: put him in positions that he's you know, he can
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: be successful. But I've been really pleased with Jaron, Yeah,
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: Brian catching just a physical Yeah, I mean I think
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: you got you know, you guys were all here and
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: you know, see it today and to be able to
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: you know, obviously we gotta get the pads on, we
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: got to hit and all that, but I've been pleased
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: with with how strong his hands have been at some
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: of the point of you know, contact and you know,
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: those contested catches that obviously the quarterback is going to
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: continue to trust him in those positions. We all trust
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: them to make those plays.
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: I think we're just continuing to see, right, like from
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: the spring to now, Uh, just taking those steps that
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: we all wanted to see and that we're all excited
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: to see because if he can add that element of
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: not just being on the outside and going vertical, but
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: also like when you're fast as he is, those runaways
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: and crosser, man, those can be a tough cover, uh,
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: with a big dude like that. So I was very
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: pleased I mean all those guys made some plays today
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: which was nice to see, and especially yesterday, and some
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: of the rouse pt ran yesterday. I mean they were high,
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: high level, like when he can get open and run
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: and open up his stride and now it's like is
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: he running by you? Is he gonna run the deep out?
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: Is he running the deep curl? Is he gonna run
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: the deep dagger? I mean that puts a corner in
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: a mind, especially when you can open up your stride
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: like he can.
• 6:30
  Speaker 6: Has made some big catches, drawn some some pio seen out.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: Of That's a huge thing about the pis. Like I
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: remember you look at some of these outside receivers, specifically
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: the physical ones. I mean when you can draw pis,
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: I mean that's an explosive pass, That's what that is.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: So I mean guys get paid off of those things,
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: like if they have like eight DPIs. I mean that
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: just adds to it, right and that and we look
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: at it the same way. So his he's so strong,
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: I mean two hundred and twenty three pounds or whatever,
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: he is two hundred and twenty five pounds, wants to
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: do some of the dirty work and wants to block.
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: He takes pride in that. I think the quarterbacks have
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: trusted him so far to be able to kind of
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: put the ball up, whether it's hey, you let him
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: go try to get it a little bit, or man,
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: let's try to go put it up back shoulder and
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: make them let them go be physical and use his
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: skill set. But you know, those those young rookie wideouts
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: have I've been pleased with just their ability to step
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: in early and just play, not running around miss a
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: ligne trying to figure it out. I've been very pleased
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: with those guys.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, do you anticipate have any heavier run game after
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: says eleven eleven, definitely.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: And really all three practices so far in team run,
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: which is always the first period of the day, that's
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: been in a rack of four plays for you know,
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: for one four two, for one four two, that's been
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: three to one run to pass, you know. So we'll
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: continue to do that as the pads come on, and
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: then especially when we get to later on, which is
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: true team which is usually fifty to fifty, like two runs,
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: two passes, we may mix in more three to one
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: and some of those periods as well. I've been pleased
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: with it, obviously, It's very difficult to evaluate, and sometimes
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: you can get into some bad habits when you're not
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: you know, hitting and blocking with pads on and but
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: I've been pleased with the guys so far. We like
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: about what you see from Yeah. Man, there was a
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: stretch of practice today we're three or four of those yeah,
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: oh yeah. BJ has done a great job. I think
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: something that we have been stressing with him is the
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: run game. Like his get off in the in the
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: past rush we all appreciate. We got to work on
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: the top of rush with him a little bit more.
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: But his ability so far, especially the last two days
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: of setting vertical edges in the run game, that's been something.
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: I mean, you look at him and you're like, man,
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: I mean he but he's explosive. He can get underneath
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: your pads. He's kind of a problem for tight ends,
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: especially at the point of attack when he can get
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: underneath them. I've been very pleased with me. He asked
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: me today. I mean, he's like, what does it take
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: to get thrown out of practice? And I'm like, what
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: do you mean? He goes no, not in a bad way,
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: He's like in a way that I'm disrupting to the
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: point where you have to take you know, that's right,
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: So you know he's he's on his mind in terms
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: of wanting to take the next step right, And we
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: were laughing. It was a cool moment, but you could
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: tell BJ wants to make an impact on his team.
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: He's worked his tail off to get to this point
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: and we're seeing it every day.
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: I just spoke to him and he says, I'm not
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: even close to arriving yet. What is that rare to
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: see a second year guy come out and say I
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: haven't even tapped my pervention.
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, but he's he's so spot on. I
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: really we all believe that there's something in there that
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: is going to continue to show itself and reveal itself.
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: And he's playing with a lot of confidence right now.
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: He knows what he's doing more than he ever did,
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: and I've just been so impressed with him. Typically in
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: the run game, I mean, that's when we start throwing
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: it more and we get into more of those situations,
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: and especially preseason games when we can see him like
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: we did against Miami last year, show up in a
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: good way. But it's been setting edges in the run
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: game and using his hands like he he's a guy
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: that uses the technique. I'm not saying to a t,
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: but he does, like he'll do exactly what you say, say,
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: go run through that wall. He's gonna go which one,
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: you know, but he uses the proper technique and fundamentals
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: and he's violent. And that's all really what you can
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: ask for as a coach.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: Three production is now kind of what's going to be
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: the major focus or point of emphasis going into this
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: next block of practice.
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: It's continuing to take care of one another and stay
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: you know, staying off the ground. I thought we did
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: a better job today is staying off the ground and
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: protecting each other while you know, I'm showing him in
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: the team meetings, like, guys, we've got to protect each other.
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: Like this is such a time where the acclamation period. Man,
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: we're trying to get good work, but we're not evaluating
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: how tough you are today. We're not evaluating how physical
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: you are today, Like we'll evaluate that as the pads
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: come on. And so the shift kind of goes to, like,
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: all right, now we're evaluating physicality and toughness and finish
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: and all that. Can we still stay off the ground
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: and protect each other and practice the right way because
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: bad teams they're on the ground a lot in practice.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: Good teams typically aren't.
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: Has it been so far what you mean practice? Yeah,
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: it's been great to be back.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you missed nine months obviously weren't on the practice field.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: Just kind of what was that process like working your
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: way back and having to watch the whole off season.
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: It was a Lendon process, you know.
• 11:39
  Speaker 7: I was able to get in the playbook for the
• 11:41
  Speaker 7: second year on both sides of the ball, learn it
• 11:44
  Speaker 7: understand it just not my job, but everyone else's job,
• 11:47
  Speaker 7: so I can get comfortable just go out there and
• 11:48
  Speaker 7: play fast when I touch the glass.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: We heard a lot about the virtual meeting room and
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: how you were a guy that really took advantage of that.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: Could you kind of talk us through what that process
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: was like and being in there and being able to
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: see you like a full lineup.
• 12:02
  Speaker 7: It's perfect for me. You know, I got first part
• 12:04
  Speaker 7: already for that room because I'm playing both sides of
• 12:06
  Speaker 7: the ball. So just going in there every day, learning
• 12:09
  Speaker 7: learning new plays. Like I said, just learning the process
• 12:12
  Speaker 7: and knowing everybody's job just not minds, just really really
• 12:15
  Speaker 7: helped me get on the field. And just play fast.
• 12:17
  Speaker 7: I know, y'all one playing practice just now. I had
• 12:20
  Speaker 7: to come out, but they was running hurry up, So
• 12:22
  Speaker 7: I just had to jump back in and just learn
• 12:24
  Speaker 7: to play on the fly and continue to do what
• 12:26
  Speaker 7: I was doing. So it was it had me more comfortable.
• 12:28
  Speaker 7: I didn't panic. I was able to guard who I
• 12:30
  Speaker 7: had to guard me.
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: So don't you at the other day that you put
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: on ten pounds of muscle but feel lighter on your feet?
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: Can you explain that?
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: Oh?
• 12:37
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I put on ten pounds. You know, I was
• 12:39
  Speaker 7: a small guy coming in. Everybody like game weight. Game
• 12:42
  Speaker 7: weight coaches like, hey, play out whatever weight you happy at.
• 12:45
  Speaker 7: So me just come in and putting on them pounds
• 12:47
  Speaker 7: and being like I was. I was scared at first,
• 12:50
  Speaker 7: and I'm like, oh, dang, I ain't never planned this weight.
• 12:52
  Speaker 7: I'm gonna feel heavy, not gonna be able to do
• 12:54
  Speaker 7: what I do. But training and being able to put
• 12:57
  Speaker 7: those months in not just on the grass but in
• 12:59
  Speaker 7: a way to just putting in at the work. It
• 13:01
  Speaker 7: made me feel a lot on my feet when I
• 13:03
  Speaker 7: finally touched the grass. So I'm just happy to be
• 13:05
  Speaker 7: out this way and continue to play it this way.
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah, a lot faster for it. Yeah, six, I mean
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: what was the goal.
• 13:12
  Speaker 7: I didn't have no standard, you know, just going out
• 13:15
  Speaker 7: there and running to see how fast I get.
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: I'm like, dang twenty one five.

  Speaker 7: just continue to click with the quarterbacks and click with
• 15:41
  Speaker 7: the defense.
• 15:42
  Speaker 6: It took a while here before you flip sides in
• 15:45
  Speaker 6: a single practice, and it's been immediate here obviously. Is
• 15:47
  Speaker 6: this more kind of what you thought it would be
• 15:49
  Speaker 6: like when you were drafted? Just get thrown in on
• 15:52
  Speaker 6: both sides right away and just kind of go like that.
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: Oh no, I knew it was gonna be different.
• 15:56
  Speaker 7: You know, coaches haven't seen me play on both sides
• 16:00
  Speaker 7: at the ball other than just in games, so practice
• 16:02
  Speaker 7: is a little different. So they had to just get
• 16:04
  Speaker 7: adjusted to me and get adjusted how I worked and.
• 16:06
  Speaker 6: Scheduled this year for meetings and practices.
• 16:09
