- 0:00Speaker 1: A little afternoon, everyone going on purpose just to.
- 0:03Speaker 2: Get the heat, or it was more so travel and
- 0:06Speaker 2: logistics for the guys off the vacation and Memorial Day
- 0:10Speaker 2: weekend plans and just trying to not run into any issues.
- 0:15Speaker 2: Give these guys a little bit of time to get
- 0:17Speaker 2: back and organize it, and then you try to do
- 0:19Speaker 2: something nice and uh, weather has a little bit of
- 0:23Speaker 2: a different answer for you. So it was more logistics.
- 0:26Speaker 1: How'd you feel about today? Just how it went.
- 0:29Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought the guys did a nice job of
- 0:30Speaker 2: staying agile, and you know, we weren't touch and go
- 0:34Speaker 2: there for a while in terms of being able to
- 0:36Speaker 2: come outside, go in, you know, staying in, So that
- 0:39Speaker 2: was a little bit of annoyance, if you will. But
- 0:43Speaker 2: I thought the guys did a nice job of setting
- 0:46Speaker 2: a standard of how we practice, of setting the tone
- 0:48Speaker 2: for the rest of the spring. Got some good work,
- 0:51Speaker 2: a lot of coachable stuff off tape that we'll be
- 0:53Speaker 2: able to touch on. But I was pleased with the way
- 0:56Speaker 2: the guys came out and tried to execute.
- 0:59Speaker 3: Verify the joint practices. There's been a lot of reports
- 1:02Speaker 3: out there. Can you just verify what joint practices you
- 1:04Speaker 3: guys will be participating in the preseason.
- 1:06Speaker 2: All three preseason games will have a joint in those three.
- 1:11Speaker 4: What's the next point for Parker washington Man.
- 1:14Speaker 2: He's done a nice job this spring so far of
- 1:18Speaker 2: you know, I guess a lot of people in the
- 1:20Speaker 2: way you look at maybe his stats of the season
- 1:23Speaker 2: and the late surge and doing what he did in
- 1:26Speaker 2: the second half the season, and you know, I thought
- 1:29Speaker 2: we saw some flashes like at Cincinnati early in the
- 1:32Speaker 2: season where it really came on, and then just the
- 1:35Speaker 2: consistency I think of the dominating presence that he was
- 1:39Speaker 2: towards the end of the season, the things that he
- 1:41Speaker 2: was able to do both in the slot and outside
- 1:45Speaker 2: for us, I think activating him a little bit, continuing
- 1:49Speaker 2: to work on the ball in hand stuff that he
- 1:52Speaker 2: can I think do at a high level because of
- 1:55Speaker 2: the way he's built and wired is you know, the
- 1:57Speaker 2: screen game. Continuing to work on those things, the jet sweeps,
- 2:01Speaker 2: getting them the ball in some of those ways, so
- 2:04Speaker 2: you know, and then the control route tree, the complete
- 2:07Speaker 2: route tree, excuse me, of slot outside, being able to
- 2:11Speaker 2: do all those things. I think that's a step he
- 2:13Speaker 2: can take.
- 2:13Speaker 5: Hey, William, you said joint practices with all three preseason games.
- 2:16Speaker 2: Where's the value and being able to kind of do
- 2:18Speaker 2: those short practices with each of the three teams.
- 2:21Speaker 6: Yeh.
- 2:22Speaker 2: Look, because you're in a little bit more of a
- 2:25Speaker 2: controlled setting that you can get the guys you want
- 2:28Speaker 2: specific reps and not have to worry about as much
- 2:34Speaker 2: like you're putting a guy in a full contact situation
- 2:37Speaker 2: in preseason games that don't count against our schedule record,
- 2:41Speaker 2: and so I think it's something a little bit more controlled.
- 2:45Speaker 2: I think the guys the teams that we're practicing against
- 2:48Speaker 2: have a good understanding of what that looks like and
- 2:52Speaker 2: being able to do that together, and the guys they
- 2:56Speaker 2: get more competitive. I mean, you look at Miami last year.
- 2:58Speaker 2: Although we had some ups and downs in that practice,
- 3:01Speaker 2: I thought we saw some good competitive juice, some real
- 3:06Speaker 2: game like participation in those practices. So I think you're
- 3:10Speaker 2: always trying to simulate game like, and I think that
- 3:13Speaker 2: those opportunities simulate game like more than anything.
- 3:18Speaker 1: A little bit.
- 3:19Speaker 2: Well, we didn't have any of the luxury last year
- 3:21Speaker 2: of picking those and having those opportunities. We only had
- 3:25Speaker 2: the one opportunity presented to us based on the schedule
- 3:29Speaker 2: and the teams that we were playing just didn't work out.
- 3:32Speaker 2: So yeah, year two from a schedule standpoint and the
- 3:37Speaker 2: teams that we're playing against, we were able to get
- 3:40Speaker 2: on it earlier as well in terms of trying to
- 3:43Speaker 2: set things up and communicate with some of those teams
- 3:46Speaker 2: we may be playing in those preseason games. So feel
- 3:49Speaker 2: a lot better about it in year two.
- 3:51Speaker 1: Yeah, not having any departures on the offensive line, is
- 3:53Speaker 1: that something the chemistry can kind of tell this early
- 3:55Speaker 1: in the offseason.
- 3:56Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, without hitting anybody with out, can you
- 4:00Speaker 2: know any of that? Yes, communication, some of the fundamentals
- 4:05Speaker 2: and techniques in which we coached last year. Maybe we're
- 4:09Speaker 2: trying to improve upon tweak, but the calls, the communication
- 4:13Speaker 2: between the centers, quarterback and then and obviously out to
- 4:18Speaker 2: the rest of the guys, I think has been definitely
- 4:21Speaker 2: something we're ahead of from last year at this point.
- 4:25Speaker 1: I mean, we've done so.
- 4:26Speaker 2: Much blitz protection drills and communication and that's all repetition
- 4:32Speaker 2: and seeing it right, and so I think we're definitely
- 4:35Speaker 2: ahead of definitely ahead of where we were at last year,
- 4:39Speaker 2: a lot closer to maybe you know, the season and
- 4:41Speaker 2: the way those guys were doing at the end of
- 4:43Speaker 2: the year.
- 4:43Speaker 7: Obviously voluntary. Chris Rodriguez, where is he?
- 4:46Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, you know, I mean injury report will come
- 4:49Speaker 2: out at some point here.
- 4:52Speaker 6: What that said, how.
- 4:52Speaker 7: Would you evaluate your running back.
- 4:54Speaker 2: Room as to that, I mean, I think it's it's
- 4:57Speaker 2: a group that has a lot of opportunities to them.
- 5:00Speaker 2: There's a wide open room. I mean it's it's truly
- 5:03Speaker 2: wide open. Bringing Chris in, you know, only continues to
- 5:08Speaker 2: provide those opportunities for those guys. You know, really liked
- 5:12Speaker 2: how Tuton's run it this spring so far and the
- 5:14Speaker 2: way he looks as opposed to last year at this time,
- 5:19Speaker 2: I think Chris will be a good added thump that
- 5:22Speaker 2: we continue to need and get some of those hard yards,
- 5:24Speaker 2: which is very difficult to see at this time a year.
- 5:29Speaker 2: I think Leaquinn had, you know, carved out a nice
- 5:32Speaker 2: role for himself last year, and I think he's eager
- 5:34Speaker 2: for more and trying to get more involved in the
- 5:37Speaker 2: past game and in the run game. And I think
- 5:40Speaker 2: Emir bringing him in DJ and that whole room I
- 5:44Speaker 2: think is you know, I'm excited to see Taylor as
- 5:47Speaker 2: well and see that whole room what that looks like.
- 5:50Speaker 2: I think some of those guys will play in preseason
- 5:52Speaker 2: games and be able to provide some of that opportunity
- 5:55Speaker 2: because it's so hard to evaluate a run him back
- 5:58Speaker 2: until you're playing tackle for fall. And I think that
- 6:01Speaker 2: our guys that we have in the room, all three
- 6:05Speaker 2: of them, are going to be better when you play
- 6:07Speaker 2: eleven on eleven tackle football then right now in T
- 6:11Speaker 2: shirt and shorts, right, that's not really all of their game.
- 6:15Speaker 2: Their game has been a lot of them is based
- 6:17Speaker 2: on physicality, toughness, breaking tackles, extra yards, the hitting yards
- 6:23Speaker 2: in a game that we're just not going to see
- 6:25Speaker 2: out here.
- 6:26Speaker 6: What's the most impart thing for Trevor ever these next
- 6:28Speaker 6: three weeks.
- 6:30Speaker 2: I think it's the chemistry between you know, he and BT.
- 6:34Speaker 2: First and foremost. I'm working on that chemistry. It was
- 6:37Speaker 2: nice to see a great start to that today live
- 6:40Speaker 2: and in person. You know, I think those two have
- 6:43Speaker 2: worked at it this spring thus far, throughout Phase one,
- 6:46Speaker 2: phase two, and then showed up in a nice way
- 6:49Speaker 2: today just getting to that page where you know, he BT,
- 6:54Speaker 2: Parker Jacobe specifically, they all really know what each other
- 6:58Speaker 2: are doing, right, and like what on each concept, you know,
- 7:02Speaker 2: the spacing and areas of what those guys can do
- 7:04Speaker 2: at a high level. What are some of the weaknesses
- 7:06Speaker 2: to be able to throw to each player a little
- 7:08Speaker 2: bit differently. Not every guy is going to run the
- 7:11Speaker 2: route the exact same way, and mastering that, like mastering
- 7:16Speaker 2: how each guy runs a route and being able to
- 7:19Speaker 2: adjust to some of those things, I think is critical
- 7:23Speaker 2: for us moving forward. How valuable is this next four
- 7:26Speaker 2: weeks to Kala Ransong huge to not obviously have a
- 7:31Speaker 2: lot of the experience that he was able to get
- 7:34Speaker 2: last year having a quote unquote red shirt, if you will.
- 7:38Speaker 2: So he was in his playbook, he was watching tape
- 7:41Speaker 2: and doing all those things, but it's so hard to
- 7:44Speaker 2: take a step and really feel comfortable without doing it.
- 7:48Speaker 2: This time is huge for Caleb to actually go through
- 7:51Speaker 2: those motions, to make those calls, to see the defense
- 7:56Speaker 2: work from his vantage point, and how things, you know,
- 7:59Speaker 2: work to other So I think it's huge for Caleb.
- 8:02Speaker 7: I won that same note Travis Hunter falling along with
- 8:06Speaker 7: the play sheet. Is that kind of a plan for him?
- 8:08Speaker 1: Yeah, to just stay.
- 8:10Speaker 7: Involved as much as possible.
- 8:11Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, I think Travis's I asked him he had
- 8:15Speaker 2: a mic and he was listening to the calls, and
- 8:18Speaker 2: I'm like, dude, you want to jump on there, don't
- 8:21Speaker 2: and start talking, don't you? You know, so it was great.
- 8:25Speaker 2: You know, the virtual room, sorry, has been really good
- 8:28Speaker 2: for Travis to be able to go in there. We
- 8:31Speaker 2: expanded that room downstairs to make it one big room,
- 8:35Speaker 2: and man, you can go in there and essentially play
- 8:38Speaker 2: a game like almost like you know, from your from
- 8:41Speaker 2: the defensive backs perspective, all you see is the linebackers,
- 8:45Speaker 2: the D line, and the offense. And so he can
- 8:48Speaker 2: go in there in a half hour and play a
- 8:51Speaker 2: game and just go right now, You're not going to
- 8:54Speaker 2: be able to get a ton of all the routes
- 8:56Speaker 2: and how they play out, but alignment, assignment, making calls,
- 9:01Speaker 2: adjustments to formations has been so valuable to him. And
- 9:06Speaker 2: then to get out here and be able to hear
- 9:08Speaker 2: the call, go line up, say what he's got, kind
- 9:11Speaker 2: of walk a few steps through.
- 9:13Speaker 1: You know.
- 9:14Speaker 2: I've been very pleased with Travis in the way like
- 9:16Speaker 2: he looks his upper body, the way that looks. I
- 9:18Speaker 2: mean he runs outside of my office in the mornings,
- 9:21Speaker 2: and I mean he looks like he's been.
- 9:23Speaker 1: In the weight room.
- 9:24Speaker 2: So I've been very pleased, So you have him do
- 9:29Speaker 2: more in OTAs as a progress or is it just
- 9:32Speaker 2: really going to kind of be limited to it's all
- 9:34Speaker 2: limited to well, limited to his participation based on what
- 9:38Speaker 2: he's able to do from the docks. That's where I
- 9:42Speaker 2: do think that virtual room has to be that that
- 9:45Speaker 2: is where he's living. It's where he's going to be
- 9:48Speaker 2: in there about two to three times a day throughout
- 9:51Speaker 2: the weeks, so it's like he goes in there for
- 9:54Speaker 2: twenty five to thirty minutes at a time throughout the
- 9:57Speaker 2: course of the day. That's a cu mulating a ton
- 10:01Speaker 2: of reps that he's not going to be able to
- 10:02Speaker 2: get until he's cleared to go. So we're really at
- 10:06Speaker 2: the mercy of the rehab and the docks in terms
- 10:09Speaker 2: of what that looks like in the next steps of
- 10:11Speaker 2: getting out on the grass. But really feel no pressure.
- 10:15Speaker 2: I think he's done a phenomenal.
- 10:16Speaker 8: Jobly And what's it like with Jakobe Meyers last year?
- 10:21Speaker 8: Obviously it was all systems go, getting ready for an
- 10:23Speaker 8: opponent when he arrives at the deadline. How nice is
- 10:25Speaker 8: it as a coach to now have time to sort
- 10:27Speaker 8: of get to deeper stuff with Jakobe and how has
- 10:29Speaker 8: he done in your opinion with that.
- 10:31Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's something we probably took for granted
- 10:34Speaker 2: a little bit because of how quick he came in
- 10:38Speaker 2: and was seamlessly, you know, involved in the offense and
- 10:43Speaker 2: alignment and motions and doing all the right things. I
- 10:47Speaker 2: think we probably took for granted some of the core
- 10:50Speaker 2: fundamentals and principles of the offense to go back and
- 10:54Speaker 2: teach him and he's like, oh, well, that's what that
- 10:57Speaker 2: word came from, whereas he maybe didn't get any of
- 10:59Speaker 2: that when he first came in. So I think that's
- 11:03Speaker 2: something that has been nice to be able to work through,
- 11:06Speaker 2: is to start from the bottom and start from the
- 11:09Speaker 2: beginning of you know, just why we call formations, what
- 11:13Speaker 2: we call him, Why do we call this concept, you know,
- 11:16Speaker 2: gator or whatever it is. Why do we call it
- 11:18Speaker 2: these things? Getting some of the background and understanding so
- 11:22Speaker 2: he can get that big picture view and not so
- 11:25Speaker 2: much just man, I gotta know what I gotta know. So, yeah,
- 11:28Speaker 2: that's been nice to have Liam.
- 11:31Speaker 8: You had said you were really excited to get.
- 11:32Speaker 7: To this offseason with Trevor.
- 11:33Speaker 5: How much more in the playbook have you been able
- 11:35Speaker 5: to go over and work to install with him.
- 11:37Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's it's not as much more as
- 11:41Speaker 2: it is refined. And you know, something that we did
- 11:45Speaker 2: at the buy that was trying to be very intentional about, man,
- 11:49Speaker 2: what are the areas in which he's really doing at
- 11:53Speaker 2: a high level that we can continue to lean into
- 11:55Speaker 2: for the rest of this season. What were those things
- 11:58Speaker 2: that are on the shelf for the end of the
- 12:00Speaker 2: season that we need to attack right now? One of
- 12:03Speaker 2: those being, you know, the getting the ball down the
- 12:06Speaker 2: field a little bit more with throwing, you know, throwing
- 12:09Speaker 2: the ball posts goes, pushing the ball down the field
- 12:12Speaker 2: a little bit more. You know, our average depth of
- 12:15Speaker 2: target I know went up towards the second half of
- 12:17Speaker 2: the season, but we've got to keep pushing that envelope
- 12:20Speaker 2: a little bit, especially with him and BT, you know,
- 12:23Speaker 2: is that connection. So it's more refining the finer things
- 12:28Speaker 2: of what he can do at a high level. What
- 12:30Speaker 2: are the areas that we put on the shelf to
- 12:32Speaker 2: improve upon, Well, we're attacking those.
- 12:35Speaker 1: Now. What is your message?
- 12:37Speaker 5: How much has your message changed this year going into
- 12:40Speaker 5: year two and obviously the success that had last year.
- 12:43Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, new year, New team is everything about
- 12:48Speaker 2: the way we're attacking this is fresh, and there's a
- 12:52Speaker 2: lot of things that we can lean into from last
- 12:54Speaker 2: season in terms of right just scheduling operation, things like that,
- 12:58Speaker 2: but the entire messages we're attacking this season with a
- 13:03Speaker 2: relentless pursuit and the way that we're going to go
- 13:05Speaker 2: about is, man, we're playing. We'll play any place, anytime, anywhere.
- 13:08Speaker 2: That's got to be the mindset and for the games
- 13:11Speaker 2: that we are at home and we need this this
- 13:14Speaker 2: city to continue to come out and support. But you know,
- 13:17Speaker 2: we don't care who we're playing, what time it is,
- 13:20Speaker 2: where it is, doesn't matter. We're going to attack this
- 13:23Speaker 2: thing with a relentless pursuit.
- 13:26Speaker 7: Thanks you all.
- 13:27Speaker 2: Good, Thank you guys.
- 13:29Speaker 1: Nice to see here. It's bad. Well, this is just
- 13:32Speaker 1: a wig. I want to take it off, let loose.
- 13:35Speaker 1: When I got inside with.
- 13:36Speaker 4: Jakobe, now that when he arrived at the deadline, you know,
- 13:39Speaker 4: everything's all systems go here in the season. But what's
- 13:41Speaker 4: it like to be able to have like kind of
- 13:43Speaker 4: a slower process and building that connection further with him?
- 13:47Speaker 1: Yeah, it's great. I mean time is is something that's
- 13:50Speaker 1: important I think for building chemistry within your team, but
- 13:53Speaker 1: especially like quarterback receiver. I mean, I've talked about a
- 13:57Speaker 1: little bit in the past. It was surprising how quick
- 13:59Speaker 1: we play in the season, but to have the time
- 14:01Speaker 1: now to really go into the details and and take
- 14:05Speaker 1: our time and get routes after practice. And obviously we
- 14:08Speaker 1: were doing that before, but it's in the season, so
- 14:09Speaker 1: it's moving fast. But to have that time, I mean,
- 14:12Speaker 1: you can tell or it's just gonna make us better
- 14:14Speaker 1: and better, and and the whole playbook. When he first
- 14:17Speaker 1: got here, it's trying to just give him this this
- 14:20Speaker 1: little I guess sound bites and tips to so we
- 14:23Speaker 1: can learn it the fastest. Now he actually gets a
- 14:25Speaker 1: true installation of the offense and can learn it and
- 14:28Speaker 1: take his time and it's not rushed like at first.
- 14:30Speaker 1: I was impressed by how he's even able to pick
- 14:32Speaker 1: it up.
- 14:33Speaker 7: Were you surprising? So many people thought you did cut
- 14:36Speaker 7: your hair.
- 14:38Speaker 1: I think our team did a great job with the video.
- 14:40Speaker 1: I mean the haircut wasn't great, didn't look good, but
- 14:44Speaker 1: it looked real, so uh yeah, I looked. I'm not
- 14:49Speaker 1: gonna say that, but yeah, I got a lot of texts.
- 14:52Speaker 1: My Grandmas, she texted me, I got a lot of texts.
- 14:55Speaker 7: What did Grandma say?
- 14:57Speaker 1: Everyone just well, it's like it's it's generation is. I
- 15:01Speaker 1: think people like my age typically like they they don't
- 15:04Speaker 1: really believe it. But then the older and older it gets,
- 15:06Speaker 1: it's like they just can't quite figure out the AI
- 15:09Speaker 1: and the fakes out there.
- 15:10Speaker 7: Did anybody actually rip the haircut?
- 15:16Speaker 1: Not to my face? I got, well, I mean yes,
- 15:18Speaker 1: to my face. Some people I got a lot of
- 15:19Speaker 1: is that that's not real? Right? And I'm like no,
- 15:22Speaker 1: They're like, oh thank god, and then they say how
- 15:25Speaker 1: bad it was, But I wonder why they would have
- 15:26Speaker 1: said it. I was like, yeah, it's rue.
- 15:27Speaker 7: So is there any chance that you actually would? Are
- 15:30Speaker 7: you ever tinkering with cutting your hair like shorter like
- 15:34Speaker 7: I would?
- 15:34Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know, not anytime soon, that's not
- 15:37Speaker 1: the plan. But if we keep that in my back
- 15:40Speaker 1: pocket if I ever need a little pr I guess
- 15:43Speaker 1: that that worked pretty good. So I need somebody get
- 15:46Speaker 1: off my back, just do a fake haircut.
- 15:49Speaker 7: CAM. Did you like?
- 15:52Speaker 1: Cam looks great?
- 15:53Speaker 7: You think it looks great?
- 15:54Speaker 1: It's like a chia pet. No. I actually think we
- 15:59Speaker 1: talk about Cam like he he does some goofy stuff.
- 16:01Speaker 1: But he's one of the only people that can pull
- 16:03Speaker 1: off the stuff he does. He has great style and like,
- 16:06Speaker 1: I could never do that and look cool. He's still
- 16:08Speaker 1: he still looks cool. So he's one of the few that's.
- 16:11Speaker 4: Like that mentioned AI.
- 16:12Speaker 8: Were you surprised when that when you found out you were,
- 16:16Speaker 8: I guess selling socks.
- 16:17Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, I didn't know I was in the
- 16:22Speaker 1: sub advertising business, but I guess I was at one point,
- 16:25Speaker 1: so it's kind of full circle. But yeah, I was surprised.
- 16:30Speaker 7: Is that something you now have to start worrying about,
- 16:33Speaker 7: like most not you, just athletes in general.
- 16:36Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I think it's just a crazy it's
- 16:37Speaker 1: a crazy world, all the stuff out there now and
- 16:39Speaker 1: all the you know, AI and and fake stuff. I mean,
- 16:42Speaker 1: it's it's just hard. You can't really believe anything you see.
- 16:45Speaker 1: I mean not that that's like anything that's really going
- 16:47Speaker 1: to be bad for me or hurt me. So it's
- 16:50Speaker 1: thankfully something too serious, But I don't know, it's it's
- 16:53Speaker 1: tough to have so much fake stuff out there. Liam
- 16:56Speaker 1: talked about refining the Offense movie, like not necessarily learning
- 17:01Speaker 1: more of the Offense's already there. How does that show
- 17:03Speaker 1: up about here? In ogs. Yeah, I think just the
- 17:06Speaker 1: opportunity to focus on the details more than just absorbing
- 17:10Speaker 1: like all the information and just trying to get it
- 17:14Speaker 1: on tape and run it and then make you know
- 17:15Speaker 1: all the corrections. Like last year, it's just a lot
- 17:17Speaker 1: more to take in and your mind is racing a
- 17:19Speaker 1: little bit because you're thinking about a lot. So this
- 17:22Speaker 1: year to have the system down a bunch of guys
- 17:24Speaker 1: that have played together. Obviously there's a few new pieces,
- 17:27Speaker 1: but majority of us really know it. We can focus
- 17:30Speaker 1: on talking about all the details of each route and
- 17:33Speaker 1: how it's gonna adjust versus certain coverages, and then also
- 17:36Speaker 1: making tweaks to the to the concepts and to the
- 17:38Speaker 1: plays that we already haven't like, we've had a handful
- 17:40Speaker 1: of things where we've changed them from last year because
- 17:43Speaker 1: running them a full season and seeing what we like,
- 17:45Speaker 1: it's like, okay, this would be better to add on
- 17:47Speaker 1: the backside than what we were running. So being able
- 17:49Speaker 1: to do stuff like that and just improve the offense,
- 17:51Speaker 1: not just completely all right, just do the same thing,
- 17:55Speaker 1: like trying to see what is better and making some tweaks.
- 17:57Speaker 6: You're right a couple of times that was a big
- 18:01Speaker 6: point last year just kind of I don't want to
- 18:03Speaker 6: say where is that relationship right now, but just was
- 18:06Speaker 6: it good to be able to especially the deep shot
- 18:08Speaker 6: and be able to hit him on that.
- 18:10Speaker 1: Yeah, it's been great. You know, We've put a lot
- 18:12Speaker 1: of work in throughout all spring really of just trying
- 18:15Speaker 1: to get the timing down, the chemistry, all those things
- 18:18Speaker 1: get on the same page. And it's starting to pay off.
- 18:20Speaker 1: And it doesn't always happen immediately, like sometimes it takes
- 18:22Speaker 1: a little time, but he's super committed to it and
- 18:26Speaker 1: so am I, and I think us getting those extra
- 18:28Speaker 1: reps is paying off. And we got a lot more time.
- 18:30Speaker 1: I mean, we got what four more weeks or five
- 18:32Speaker 1: more weeks of OTA's type practices, and then we also
- 18:36Speaker 1: have the break in the summer until training camp, so
- 18:39Speaker 1: so many reps that we can get from now until
- 18:41Speaker 1: then to get us ready for the season. But I mean,
- 18:43Speaker 1: I have no doubt we're going to be ready to go.
- 18:45Speaker 1: He's gonna have a great year. I mean, he's a
- 18:47Speaker 1: special player and just excited that. I feel like we're
- 18:49Speaker 1: clicking more and more every day.
- 18:51Speaker 6: Pretty obvious questions, but how much further ahead in the
- 18:54Speaker 6: offense Just all of that in year.
- 18:58Speaker 1: Two, way further ahead. I mean, it's just I think
- 19:03Speaker 1: the question is more so like what is It's not
- 19:06Speaker 1: of how much more I know, because it's way more
- 19:08Speaker 1: that I know the offense, But it's really being intentional
- 19:10Speaker 1: every day because it's that's the trap is to go
- 19:13Speaker 1: through the motions just because you know the offense. I
- 19:15Speaker 1: think our focus isn't as a whole unit has been
- 19:17Speaker 1: really good on the details and really mastering all the
- 19:20Speaker 1: little things because now when we hear the play call,
- 19:23Speaker 1: we hear it, we know it, we know to do.
- 19:24Speaker 1: We don't even really have to think about it. But
- 19:25Speaker 1: it's it's focusing on all the details to take us
- 19:28Speaker 1: to the next, you know, level of being a great offense.
- 19:31Speaker 6: Where's the line for you between appreciating the season that
- 19:34Speaker 6: you had last year and knowing how much better you
- 19:37Speaker 6: can be personally?
- 19:39Speaker 1: You know, I think it's I don't really think about
- 19:42Speaker 1: last year anymore. It's it's gone. You know. Obviously, offensively,
- 19:46Speaker 1: we did some good things, especially down towards the end
- 19:48Speaker 1: of the season, but you think about we didn't even
- 19:50Speaker 1: really start clicking until the last half of the season,
- 19:53Speaker 1: the second half of the season, so that is that
- 19:56Speaker 1: says enough about what more? How much more we can
- 19:58Speaker 1: do as an offense, how much more I can do
- 20:00Speaker 1: as a quarterback and individual to help our offense score
- 20:03Speaker 1: more points and be better throughout the whole season. You
- 20:05Speaker 1: look at how much better we were weeks eight or
- 20:07Speaker 1: nine through eighteen, I mean, we were way better. So
- 20:11Speaker 1: we got a whole half of the season. We can
- 20:12Speaker 1: really add that on to what we already did. So
- 20:16Speaker 1: but it's a new season, so that's not gonna win
- 20:19Speaker 1: us any games this year. So I think the guys
- 20:20Speaker 1: have really taken it serious. Everyone's moved on, turned the page,
- 20:24Speaker 1: and we got to get better. Yeah, at multiple tight
- 20:27Speaker 1: end sets.
- 20:27Speaker 2: I've kind of getting the trend in the NFL just from.
- 20:29Speaker 1: A quarterback perspective. How excited are you for you guys
- 20:31Speaker 1: to kind of dive into that a little more of
- 20:33Speaker 1: this year? I think it's great. You know, you see
- 20:35Speaker 1: things that just kind of around the league come and go,
- 20:37Speaker 1: and new trends and new things that try to give
- 20:40Speaker 1: one side of the ball an advantage. There's a lot
- 20:42Speaker 1: of stuff on defense. It's the same thing, you know,
- 20:44Speaker 1: it's just obviously their side of the ball. But things
- 20:47Speaker 1: that come in that feel like it might give you
- 20:49Speaker 1: the advantage. You can kind of you know what type
- 20:51Speaker 1: of personnels you're going to get. You can find some
- 20:54Speaker 1: some mismatches if you have really good tight ends, which
- 20:56Speaker 1: we have a great crew of tight end so and
- 20:59Speaker 1: then obviously running the ball great out of that. There's
- 21:00Speaker 1: so many options that you can do, and you kind
- 21:02Speaker 1: of know at least what type of personnel you're gonna
- 21:05Speaker 1: get on defense that's gonna come out there. So it's
- 21:07Speaker 1: can be a little bit easier to predict, but defenses
- 21:09Speaker 1: adjust really quickly, and I'm sure this year you're gonna
- 21:12Speaker 1: see a lot more adjustments on the defensive side too,
- 21:14Speaker 1: So it's you know, it's one of those things where
- 21:16Speaker 1: we just have to see where all that goes.
- 21:17Speaker 7: Yeah, William said, the motto is kind of will play
- 21:20Speaker 7: anybody anywhere anytime. Do you have to have that mindset
- 21:23Speaker 7: maybe this year, next year, knowing the schedule is going
- 21:26Speaker 7: to be not necessarily in your favor.
- 21:28Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's always the mindset. I mean, you
- 21:30Speaker 1: can't control any of that. Us as players and coaches
- 21:35Speaker 1: definitely can't. So you know, we got our schedule, that's
- 21:38Speaker 1: who we're playing when we're playing and that's all we
- 21:40Speaker 1: need to know, so we can just be there at
- 21:42Speaker 1: the game ready to play. Besides that, I mean, you
- 21:45Speaker 1: can't control any of it, so there's no point in
- 21:46Speaker 1: worrying about it. We're gonna go out there, put our
- 21:49Speaker 1: best foot forward, win as many games as we can
- 21:51Speaker 1: versus whoever and wherever. So I think that mindset is
- 21:55Speaker 1: good for a team and we can't worry about where
- 21:57Speaker 1: it is, how many people are going to be there,
- 21:59Speaker 1: you know, that stuff doesn't matter.
- 22:01Speaker 7: We Ea had mentioned trying to push the ball down
- 22:03Speaker 7: the field more.
- 22:03Speaker 1: Of the season.
- 22:04Speaker 7: Have you been doing anything in specific to maybe work
- 22:07Speaker 7: in that category?
- 22:08Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean this whole spring, like you know, like
- 22:11Speaker 1: I said, similar to my work with BT like that's
- 22:13Speaker 1: been a big part of it and with other guys
- 22:15Speaker 1: to just throwing more of those and trying to get
- 22:17Speaker 1: the timing and talking a lot and meetings about you know,
- 22:20Speaker 1: the timing of throws, the landmarks, you know, the depths,
- 22:22Speaker 1: all those things to be sharper on the deeper throws,
- 22:26Speaker 1: get some more explosives. Definitely something that we can we
- 22:30Speaker 1: need to make take more advantage of in our offense
- 22:32Speaker 1: and use the weapons that we have and hit those
- 22:34Speaker 1: shots down the field.
- 22:35Speaker 6: You talk about the chemistry, how good officials can it be?
- 22:37Speaker 6: For Trivias Ebo, he's not, you know, on the field
- 22:40Speaker 6: doing the things, but he's still there to get the
- 22:43Speaker 6: mental uns.
- 22:44Speaker 1: Yeah. I think it's it's all just good for him
- 22:45Speaker 1: because he's still a young player and obviously both sides
- 22:49Speaker 1: of the ball, he's learning a lot. So now is
- 22:50Speaker 1: a time where he really can just get so much
- 22:53Speaker 1: mental work. And in practice he can watch and he
- 22:55Speaker 1: sees things, and every time something a rep, especially now
- 22:58Speaker 1: that we're having competitive periods, you see rep and you
- 23:00Speaker 1: see someone do something maybe great that you learn from
- 23:02Speaker 1: or not right that you learned from, you say, okay,
- 23:05Speaker 1: you know versus cover two, I need to take that higher.
- 23:07Speaker 1: And he just needs to memory bank all those things
- 23:10Speaker 1: so that when he's back moving around, he's feeling good,
- 23:13Speaker 1: he's flying around. He has it down. I think he will.
- 23:15Speaker 1: He's been out there basically in the huddle every play.
- 23:18Speaker 1: We got a twelve guy, so he's been in the
- 23:20Speaker 1: huddle listening. He's locked in. He's done a great job.
- 23:24Speaker 1: All right, thank you.
- 23:26Speaker 6: Interesting a month of January, what are your main takeaways
- 23:29Speaker 6: from meeting with Cleveland and Buffalo.
- 23:32Speaker 5: There's a lot, probably too much to go through in
- 23:34Speaker 5: this time and space right now, but it's a great
- 23:37Speaker 5: process to go through as honored to be able to
- 23:39Speaker 5: be considered for those opportunities, and really it's a testament
- 23:43Speaker 5: to the work that our team and our offense has
- 23:45Speaker 5: put in to kind of raise my status and elevate
- 23:48Speaker 5: me to even be considered.
- 23:50Speaker 1: You go through that.
- 23:51Speaker 5: Process and you learn a lot about what you believe
- 23:54Speaker 5: in and what you think and what you really are
- 23:56Speaker 5: convicted in because you think about all the different things
- 23:59Speaker 5: you've come across your time in coaching or even before coaching,
- 24:02Speaker 5: and you kind of have to whittle it down to
- 24:03Speaker 5: the things that are most important to.
- 24:04Speaker 1: You and your core value.
- 24:05Speaker 5: So a lot of what you're learning is really maybe
- 24:08Speaker 5: things that you already knew, but what are your priorities?
- 24:11Speaker 5: So that that kind of becomes the focus of those
- 24:13Speaker 5: interviews because it's such a short period of time where
- 24:15Speaker 5: you're trying to put together all of your plans and
- 24:17Speaker 5: thoughts in a clear and concise manner. How did you
- 24:20Speaker 5: make out on the psychological test?
- 24:23Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 24:24Speaker 5: You have to ask them that they have You got
- 24:26Speaker 5: to ask them that, so I don't have the results,
- 24:28Speaker 5: So I don't know if that's a good thing or
- 24:29Speaker 5: a bad thing that they didn't give me the results
- 24:31Speaker 5: when you.
- 24:31Speaker 7: Saw the schedule come out at least where you're like live,
- 24:33Speaker 7: of course Cleveland's going to be opener.
- 24:36Speaker 5: You know, I don't really think about it like that.
- 24:38Speaker 1: I don't think about it like that.
- 24:39Speaker 5: You kind of just are focused on one thing at
- 24:41Speaker 5: a time, and whether it was them or whether it
- 24:43Speaker 5: was a division pony or whoever it was, you just
- 24:45Speaker 5: get excited to have somebody on the schedule because you
- 24:47Speaker 5: feel like you wait so long to find out what
- 24:49Speaker 5: the schedule is nowadays that you could have been anybody
- 24:51Speaker 5: on there, and you're excited to get back to football.
- 24:55Speaker 6: To have Josh Allen in an interview, How involved was
- 24:57Speaker 6: he and what did that say about.
- 24:59Speaker 5: His want too? Yeah, that's another one. I probably don't
- 25:02Speaker 5: have the time to go through how much that means
- 25:04Speaker 5: to be a guy in that interview, his status, his intelligence,
- 25:09Speaker 5: his football intelligence, all the things that he cares about.
- 25:12Speaker 5: It was really cool to get the opportunity to sit
- 25:14Speaker 5: down and talk to him, and it's cool to see
- 25:16Speaker 5: him interact with the rest of the organization there, and
- 25:18Speaker 5: it's a sign of what they think about him and
- 25:20Speaker 5: the person that he is to trust his opinion and
- 25:22Speaker 5: value his opinion on things more than just football, but
- 25:24Speaker 5: things about life and locker room and the camaraderie and
- 25:27Speaker 5: everything that goes into running organization.
- 25:30Speaker 1: How quickly into that evaluation for you where you like,
- 25:33Speaker 1: this is the guy that we want to have.
- 25:37Speaker 5: That's a great question. I think when we go and
- 25:40Speaker 5: evaluate guys, there's certainly a type of guy that we're
- 25:43Speaker 5: looking for, and the play style of that type of
- 25:46Speaker 5: player is something that's evident usually right away. Now there's
- 25:49Speaker 5: always questions beyond that on their skill set and where
- 25:52Speaker 5: they fit and what their role could because you're always
- 25:55Speaker 5: trying to project. But his play style, like the rest
- 25:57Speaker 5: of the guys that we kind of target, popped off
- 25:59Speaker 5: the tape right away. So when you ask how quickly
- 26:01Speaker 5: it was, it was probably pretty quick into the first
- 26:03Speaker 5: game you put on that you see the way he plays,
- 26:05Speaker 5: the effort to strain, the physicality, the toughness, the speed,
- 26:08Speaker 5: all of those things they pop off the table matter
- 26:11Speaker 5: what clip you're watching, and.
- 26:12Speaker 2: The ample and obviously responded really well to you guys
- 26:14Speaker 2: last year what's the next step for him kind of
- 26:16Speaker 2: looked like from your.
- 26:17Speaker 5: Persecutive certainly continued growth. We know that progression is never linear,
- 26:21Speaker 5: but hopefully we can continue to compound off the things
- 26:24Speaker 5: that he built on last year. He's a guy, he
- 26:27Speaker 5: knows this that his ceiling is essentially as high as
- 26:30Speaker 5: he wants it to be. So that's a beautiful predicament
- 26:32Speaker 5: to be in because we're going to push him to
- 26:34Speaker 5: continue to push beyond where he is at right now,
- 26:36Speaker 5: no matter where that is. You know, he's going to
- 26:39Speaker 5: be responsible for his end of it, and we got
- 26:41Speaker 5: to be responsible for are and of it, giving him
- 26:43Speaker 5: the opportunity and tools to continue to elevate.
- 26:46Speaker 2: Side of things.
- 26:47Speaker 3: Having Pacucci now in the room, what have you seen
- 26:50Speaker 3: not just from him, what is he brought to this staff,
- 26:52Speaker 3: but also what have you seen from Liam having one
- 26:54Speaker 3: of his top lieutenants.
- 26:55Speaker 5: Back that there's a lot. There's a lot I think,
- 26:58Speaker 5: first and foremost in the off offensive line room. He's
- 27:01Speaker 5: a match with the identity that we want to continue
- 27:03Speaker 5: to instill in the offensive line, the toughness, the physicality.
- 27:05Speaker 5: The same things I talked about Nate are true for
- 27:07Speaker 5: the offensive line, and he brings that every day. Then
- 27:10Speaker 5: you add on the element of his familiarity with Liam
- 27:13Speaker 5: and what we're trying to get accomplished, along with his scheme,
- 27:15Speaker 5: expertise on the different offenses he's been in, the different
- 27:19Speaker 5: offenses that he's ran. Bringing that and implementing that into
- 27:22Speaker 5: our personnel and the system that we have here is
- 27:24Speaker 5: going to give us more versatility and more options to
- 27:26Speaker 5: attack people in the run, game, protection, game play, pass protection, game, screen, game,
- 27:30Speaker 5: you name it. So it's been a nice compliment to
- 27:32Speaker 5: what we had in the room and what we continue
- 27:33Speaker 5: to try to build in the room.
- 27:35Speaker 7: Is what you teach with Trevor, especially change this year.
- 27:39Speaker 1: If it does at all.
- 27:41Speaker 5: I think the core foundations and those core principles stay
- 27:44Speaker 5: the same, and hopefully they stay the same every single year.
- 27:46Speaker 5: But you're always looking to grow. So whether it's improving
- 27:49Speaker 5: on the things that he did well last year, or
- 27:52Speaker 5: whether it's the areas of improvement that maybe we didn't
- 27:55Speaker 5: quite meet our standard, we're going to try to find
- 27:57Speaker 5: improvement on all of those areas. So it never really
- 28:00Speaker 5: stops in terms of our expectation for growth and trying
- 28:03Speaker 5: to get better. But there are certainly areas of focus
- 28:06Speaker 5: based on doing something well or doing something that we
- 28:09Speaker 5: might have already done well, but we know that there's
- 28:12Speaker 5: more room to grow in those areas. He knows that
- 28:14Speaker 5: we know that, and that's not always one person. The
- 28:16Speaker 5: part of the quarterback position that makes it so tough
- 28:18Speaker 5: is a lot of times you're dependent on ten other
- 28:20Speaker 5: guys or even more than that defense has giving you
- 28:22Speaker 5: certain looks to show your talents and showcase the things
- 28:25Speaker 5: you've learned and grown.
- 28:26Speaker 2: Would like Chris take in Washington.
- 28:29Speaker 7: Even though You've had familiarity with Leo, I think.
- 28:33Speaker 5: I'm going to go back to Nate again. It's probably
- 28:34Speaker 5: the same thing. Anytime you ask me about any guy.
- 28:36Speaker 5: It's going to be the same things that I start with.
- 28:38Speaker 5: The physicality, the play style, the strength, the intelligence as
- 28:40Speaker 5: a player.
- 28:41Speaker 1: Those things are evident right away.
- 28:42Speaker 5: Then you talk about the contact balance and his ability
- 28:45Speaker 5: to find efficient runs, sometimes in dirty looks and looks
- 28:48Speaker 5: that might not be blocked as cleanly as possible. So
- 28:51Speaker 5: he gives you an element of the run game that
- 28:53Speaker 5: might not always be eighty yard runs. But when you
- 28:56Speaker 5: look at how often the eighty yard runs really showing
- 28:58Speaker 5: up in the NFL nowadays, pretty few and far between.
- 29:01Speaker 5: But what he does give you is the opportunity still
- 29:02Speaker 5: get explosive runs and then be efficient on the runs
- 29:05Speaker 5: that might not always be perfectly blocked.
- 29:07Speaker 1: Let's go.
- 29:07Speaker 3: Since you keep saying it keeps going back to that
- 29:09Speaker 3: physicality and that identity piece, when did you guys sit
- 29:12Speaker 3: down and actually reflect upon, Okay, this is where we
- 29:15Speaker 3: need to evolve and were those specific words that as
- 29:17Speaker 3: a group, those came to the forefront instantly.
- 29:20Speaker 5: I think, no matter what the outcome of the season
- 29:22Speaker 5: was last year, we would continue to say that that's
- 29:24Speaker 5: where we need to evolve. That's going to be such
- 29:26Speaker 5: a focus for us, no matter what the outcome of
- 29:29Speaker 5: a given game week, season is, that we'll always be
- 29:32Speaker 5: pushing that identity of the offense and the physicality, toughness,
- 29:36Speaker 5: all of those things. Now, the process on evaluating what
- 29:39Speaker 5: we did last year starts as soon as the season's over.
- 29:43Speaker 5: So you take the opportunity to look back on the
- 29:45Speaker 5: granular element of this specific play or this specific player,
- 29:48Speaker 5: or this specific technique that a player does as soon
- 29:50Speaker 5: as the season's over. And then as that process continues,
- 29:54Speaker 5: you start to zoom out and zoom back in and
- 29:56Speaker 5: try to take the different perspectives to see the big
- 29:58Speaker 5: picture along with fixing those new smaller details. So it's
- 30:01Speaker 5: kind of a continuous process from the moment the season
- 30:04Speaker 5: ends basically until the players show back up, and it's
- 30:06Speaker 5: probably still continuing right now. I wish I could say
- 30:09Speaker 5: that we could sit down in two weeks and come
- 30:10Speaker 5: together with all the answers, but we know that that's
- 30:12Speaker 5: going to take a lot of time and effort as
- 30:13Speaker 5: a collective staff to put that together.
- 30:16Speaker 3: What Day one of OTA's feels like with where the
- 30:19Speaker 3: group is at right now compared to Day one of
- 30:21Speaker 3: OTA's last year, it's a.
- 30:23Speaker 1: Really good question.
- 30:24Speaker 5: I honestly try not to do that too much because
- 30:27Speaker 5: I want to get the guys to live in the
- 30:29Speaker 5: present and be focused on where we are at right
- 30:31Speaker 5: now and what we can improve at this moment. So
- 30:34Speaker 5: we want to be excellent in our meetings today. We
- 30:36Speaker 5: want to be excellent at a practice today, at whether
- 30:38Speaker 5: it's Trout's on are We want to be great in
- 30:40Speaker 5: the cafeteria behind me, eating the right things and proper nutrition,
- 30:43Speaker 5: and right in the weight room. So hopefully we're better
- 30:46Speaker 5: than where we were last year. I think that having
- 30:48Speaker 5: the foundation of the offensive system, and the knowledge that
- 30:50Speaker 5: the guys have on the stands and expectations with which
- 30:53Speaker 5: we execute the system or with which we go about
- 30:56Speaker 5: our meetings about our business is something that will pay
- 30:58Speaker 5: dividends and kind of compact throughout the offseason. So I
- 31:01Speaker 5: do feel that there is a clear understanding of those
- 31:04Speaker 5: expectations and standards as well as kind of the core
- 31:06Speaker 5: principles of the offense. But we never can use that
- 31:09Speaker 5: to take that for granted and say, Okay, we've got
- 31:11Speaker 5: something under control, We've got that done. We don't have
- 31:13Speaker 5: to worry about that. We're going to continue to push
- 31:14Speaker 5: the pace on even the small simplest details. When we
- 31:17Speaker 5: sit down to teach the offense again, we're teaching it
- 31:19Speaker 5: from scratch like we've never heard it. Whether it's a
- 31:21Speaker 5: guy who's been in the system before, whether it's a coach,
- 31:23Speaker 5: or whether it's a player, we all have to approach
- 31:26Speaker 5: it with that be inner mindset.
- 31:27Speaker 4: How much did see what Parker Washington maybe was able
- 31:30Speaker 4: to do, especially at the end of the last season,
- 31:32Speaker 4: where he's expectations for what he's able to do over
- 31:35Speaker 4: the courses often the entire season this.
- 31:37Speaker 5: Year, Yeah, the expectation question is always so tough for
- 31:41Speaker 5: me because I think that Parker and myself probably have
- 31:46Speaker 5: pretty high expectations for Parker as it is, so I
- 31:49Speaker 5: couldn't really give you a good gauge on what the
- 31:51Speaker 5: expectations outside of that are. I think really really highly
- 31:53Speaker 5: of Parker. I hope that Parker thinks really really highly
- 31:56Speaker 5: of himself in that regard too, because we think that
- 31:59Speaker 5: he's capable of what he did at the end of
- 32:01Speaker 5: the season last year and more than that. And I
- 32:03Speaker 5: think we thought that even early in the year, where
- 32:05Speaker 5: the numbers statistically may not have matched what he did
- 32:08Speaker 5: at the end of the year. So it's hard for
- 32:10Speaker 5: me to truly gauge how much the expectations changed, But
- 32:13Speaker 5: I would say our expectation for him moving forward and
- 32:15Speaker 5: currently is to continue to grow and even do more
- 32:18Speaker 5: than what he did last year. And I think, you know,
- 32:21Speaker 5: I feel pretty confident saying I know he feels the
- 32:23Speaker 5: same way, not to say that we underachieved or he underachieved,
- 32:26Speaker 5: but to know that he is a highly, highly capable
- 32:28Speaker 5: player who's capable of even more.
- 32:30Speaker 7: Your non linear growth last year was pretty a pretty
- 32:34Speaker 7: big jump personally, professionally, where would you like to see
- 32:37Speaker 7: yourself maybe grow in year two here knowing what's ahead huge.
- 32:43Speaker 5: You know, Yeah, that's a great question. There's a lot
- 32:45Speaker 5: of things that I look back on last year's season,
- 32:49Speaker 5: and just like we talk about evaluating where we need
- 32:51Speaker 5: to improve as an offense, a lot of it will
- 32:54Speaker 5: start with me as the coordinator. And there are really
- 32:57Speaker 5: simple things that I think I could have communicated this better.
- 33:00Speaker 5: I could have communicated this more clearly. And then there
- 33:02Speaker 5: are maybe more complicated things where we built a certain
- 33:05Speaker 5: package of plays in a way where I felt like
- 33:07Speaker 5: I could have don a better job of putting those
- 33:09Speaker 5: plays together, Or there are certain plays that we put
- 33:11Speaker 5: in a game plan that I look back and say
- 33:13Speaker 5: I should not have allowed that play to get in
- 33:15Speaker 5: a game plan. Or maybe there's an opportunity to attack
- 33:16Speaker 5: a defense in a certain way that I didn't pursue.
- 33:19Speaker 5: There are opportunities all over the place. That's another one
- 33:21Speaker 5: of those questions. I probably have a list of two
- 33:22Speaker 5: hundred things that unfortunately I could improve. On the bright
- 33:25Speaker 5: side of that is there's two hundred things that I
- 33:26Speaker 5: can improve on. So as a coordinator, for me personally,
- 33:30Speaker 5: it's the same approach that we take with the offense.
- 33:32Speaker 5: When we say we want to run the ball better, Well,
- 33:34Speaker 5: what does that start? How does that start?
- 33:36Speaker 1: With my role?
- 33:37Speaker 5: What am I doing? How am I influencing the run
- 33:39Speaker 5: game to make sure that that's actually possible. So, just
- 33:41Speaker 5: like we sit down and evaluate those things, I gotta
- 33:44Speaker 5: do the same thing for myself. That's an excellent question.
- 33:47Speaker 3: Have you picked your backpacking trip for the summer?
- 33:50Speaker 5: You know what, I kind of have it down to
- 33:52Speaker 5: two locations, but I don't have it all booked yet.
- 33:55Speaker 5: I appreciate you asking. It's a good reminder because now
- 33:58Speaker 5: I'm stressed out about the fact that I don't have
- 33:59Speaker 5: every everything booked again, but I'm pretty close. Okay, Well, no,
- 34:03Speaker 5: that's that's a way different animal. I can't I can't
- 34:06Speaker 5: take that. That's that's stolen valor if I try to
- 34:08Speaker 5: take credit for that. No, No, that's a way different animal.
- 34:12Speaker 1: Yeah, you feel.
- 34:13Speaker 3: Like you've in previous years, you've waited till right before.
- 34:16Speaker 5: Unfortunately it's been pretty imprompt here.
- 34:18Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 34:19Speaker 5: Yeah, I thought I was gonna overcome that this year.
- 34:21Speaker 5: But that's an area of improvement that I'll work on
- 34:23Speaker 5: maybe next year. Maybe next year. But congratulations, that's awesome.
- 34:30Speaker 7: You had a conversation about it.
- 34:31Speaker 6: That's a.
- 34:33Speaker 5: No, thank you, guys. I appreciate it, guys. Good to
- 34:34Speaker 5: see you guys again
