• 0:04
  Speaker 1: work you guys have been putting in betterfit your kind
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: of first amazing? Look at this Jaguars staff, amazing.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: I mean part of coming here is obviously the players.
• 0:12
  Speaker 3: You know that that you get to coach, and uh
• 0:15
  Speaker 3: the guys here are extremely coachable and like every single
• 0:20
  Speaker 3: guy just wants to get better. I mean it's it's
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: OTAs and everybody's been here every day staying after because
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: they want to learn more. The guys that have been
• 0:29
  Speaker 3: extremely extremely excited just to get better. So for me
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: as a coach, you can't ask for anything more.
• 0:33
  Speaker 4: It's been great.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: We try to explain to people the titles on people,
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: how different is this from being a quarterbacks coach to.
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: Be the defen Yeah, my, you know, my day to
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: day on the field is very similar. Uh, I'd say,
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: you know, as as we're all together and having those
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: conversations schematically, a lot of what we do defensively, I
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: was either with coach camp, you know, in places where
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: we've done it. Uh, So I've been very familiar with
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: with what we do. So there's that conversation that goes
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: back and forth. But day to day it's extremely collaborative.
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: We're all working together for a common goal.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: So the titles.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: Have you noticed any difference from coach Camp the position
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: coach versus coach Camp the defensive coordinator.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: No, not at all. Whoever he's leading, he leads the
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: same way.
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: So whether he's a position coach and he's leading his
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: players and whoever's working under him.
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: Like when I was his.
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: GA at Boston College, it was it's the same exact
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: way as it is now with him being the coordinator.
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: And that's why he's a success. Everyone's been this is it.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: Kind of cool to have seen that that you know,
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: progression as it's gone.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: It's awesome.
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: He's he's one of the greatest people I've I've ever
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: met in my life. He's extremely genuine. He cares about
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: people first and foremost. He builds relationships and he coaches
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: you extremely hard because he cares. So it's it's a
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: lot of fun to work under him because you're learning
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: something every day.
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: I'll say.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: Conversely, he's seen that progression in you. Yeah, as a
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: coach too, So to have that connection, it's got to
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: be great because he knows what you can do well.
• 2:02
  Speaker 5: Uh, when you're out there to fill with the guy.
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it we've I've grown up under him and
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: it's been I don't know, ten or eleven years and
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: we this will be the third time that we've been together.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: So yeah, we definitely know each other day.
• 2:15
  Speaker 6: What did the job come about for you?
• 2:18
  Speaker 7: Did Camp call one day to kind of, you know,
• 2:20
  Speaker 7: kick the tires on it?
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: No, So I was still with Miami, even though Mike
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: k had gotten fired. I was still with Miami, So
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: they they put in a slip before me and I
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: spoke with William first.
• 2:32
  Speaker 6: Uh.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: And then obviously I knew Anthony was here and and
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: we've been close, so I always followed him.
• 2:38
  Speaker 8: Uh.
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: But yeah, to get an opportunity to to work together again.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: It it wasn't something like a Passau.
• 2:44
  Speaker 7: What were your impressions kind of getting in here? Obviously
• 2:46
  Speaker 7: you have you know, you can follow a team to
• 2:48
  Speaker 7: think you kind of know the situation, But having worked
• 2:50
  Speaker 7: with Camp before and then coming in within, what were
• 2:52
  Speaker 7: your kind of a media impression?
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: Everybody from the top down is you know, steadfast on
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: what they and from ownership all the way down. There
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: is no nobody pulling in a different direction. Everybody has
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: the same vision on how to win. Everyone puts that
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: into play, So for me, it's something that I believe in.
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: That was through the interview process that was really exciting
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: for me, and like I was drawn to that everything
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: that I believe in is what we were talking about.
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: Then you take the players and how great those guys
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: are and you add that into the equation. But for
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: me being able to just see the vision understanding it's
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: about toughness and teaching and building something that's gonna be
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: able to withstand any portion of the season. Everyone from
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: top down feels that way, and for me it was
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: easy to step in and continue.
• 3:42
  Speaker 7: The dvs are such a unique group. I always say,
• 3:44
  Speaker 7: just like personality wise, and obviously there's a kind of
• 3:47
  Speaker 7: competition within that group, but it's there's really no infighting
• 3:50
  Speaker 7: at all. It's almost like they just want each other.
• 3:52
  Speaker 9: A little better.
• 3:53
  Speaker 7: I feel like that's unique in some regards because there's
• 3:55
  Speaker 7: always competition, but to have such a close.
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: Takers that you felt that, yeah, absolutely, and especially this
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: time of year, like that's what you're trying to build
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: because as much of it is a job and you have.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: To win your job and you want for yourself to succeed.
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: We're never gonna reach where we want to reach if
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: we don't build that together. So that relationship building from
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: player to coach is more important player to player, you know,
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: like they have to be steadfast in the same direction,
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: understanding what each other is talking about, and that's built
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: by knowing their why, knowing their story, knowing their background.
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: So when they spend time together outside of here, they
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: build genuine relationships where these guys are going to be
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: their best friends forever. And then, sure, the job portion
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: of it, everyone's competing to win a spot.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: But the better we are together, the better they'll be individual.
• 4:42
  Speaker 7: I know he's still working his way back, but Travis Hunter,
• 4:44
  Speaker 7: it's a unique situation, you say, A part of that.
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: Anytime you get a chance to coach a great person
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: and a great player in one as a coach, you
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: know you dream of those opportunities.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: It's it's gonna be really fun.
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: He's been outstanding so far and he goes above and
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: beyond to prepare himself.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: So I can't wait.
• 5:03
  Speaker 7: No, Camp's always talking about fighting for more timey and
• 5:05
  Speaker 7: be doing the same thing for Tractice.
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there's I do that with everybody. There's there's never
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: enough time. But for him, you know, he's if he
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: has something on a schedule that's extra, he'll.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: Be there before it starts.
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: Like he's he's been phenomenal and uh in trying to
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: get the extra work to go over it.
• 5:20
  Speaker 10: I think everybody looks at this offseason and says that
• 5:23
  Speaker 10: he lost a lot of production in Devin.
• 5:26
  Speaker 5: Can you replace it?
• 5:28
  Speaker 10: Do you feel like or I guess the second part
• 5:31
  Speaker 10: that is how much better do you think your defense
• 5:33
  Speaker 10: can be even with that subtraction based on the evolution.
• 5:37
  Speaker 6: Of it and just grow.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's one of the great challenges that we
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: have because.
• 5:42
  Speaker 11: Once again, whether it's fair or not, do I think
• 5:44
  Speaker 11: people gave Devin enough credit before the season started? I
• 5:47
  Speaker 11: don't know that that's up to him. He he obviously
• 5:51
  Speaker 11: felt a certain type of way about it, and he
• 5:54
  Speaker 11: he you know, he put he put the tape out there,
• 5:57
  Speaker 11: and that's that's all we're asking our guys to do
• 5:59
  Speaker 11: because every year is the same unless you're just one
• 6:02
  Speaker 11: of those perennial guys. Every year is its own year.
• 6:05
  Speaker 11: Forget what you did last year.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: We have to prove it now.
• 6:09
  Speaker 11: So you know, tryna trying to think that we're gonna
• 6:13
  Speaker 11: replace his production. No, well we'll we'll make up for
• 6:16
  Speaker 11: that production in different ways. And at the end of
• 6:19
  Speaker 11: the day, it's really up to each individual guy of
• 6:23
  Speaker 11: how we're gonna do that, because as coaches, we have
• 6:25
  Speaker 11: a plan. We're gonna have a plan for how we're
• 6:27
  Speaker 11: gonna fill the so called void. Whether it's by committee
• 6:32
  Speaker 11: or this guy like it, We're gonna do what it
• 6:35
  Speaker 11: takes every.
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: Week to win the game.
• 6:37
  Speaker 11: We're not, you know it, it's our job to find
• 6:40
  Speaker 11: a solution.
• 6:42
  Speaker 7: You can go as a coach kind of having that
• 6:44
  Speaker 7: you know, have a player system, but that now a
• 6:46
  Speaker 7: new challenge for you, kind of.
• 6:48
  Speaker 11: Adapting the defenses year. Yes to to me, that's what
• 6:52
  Speaker 11: it That's what it comes down to. It's it's what
• 6:55
  Speaker 11: I expect. Every week's a different puzzle shoot every just
• 7:01
  Speaker 11: because it it's so fun to be around these guys.
• 7:07
  Speaker 11: As soon as you feel like you you got it down, Pat,
• 7:10
  Speaker 11: there's something new that happens here. Now, dang, I gotta
• 7:13
  Speaker 11: find it another way to get this done. And it's
• 7:17
  Speaker 11: a daily challenge really, you know, from day to day,
• 7:20
  Speaker 11: week to week, how can we be m super consistent
• 7:25
  Speaker 11: so that when we do look at it at the end.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: Of the year, we like the results.
• 7:30
  Speaker 11: I I try very hard, and I've done this long
• 7:33
  Speaker 11: enough to n now to to to be aware that
• 7:37
  Speaker 11: don't judge it in the moment.
• 7:39
  Speaker 9: Just work every day, improve.
• 7:41
  Speaker 6: Every day, and then.
• 7:44
  Speaker 11: When we compile everything at the end, it should look
• 7:47
  Speaker 11: the way we wanted to.
• 7:49
  Speaker 5: Oh uh, how much?
• 7:50
  Speaker 10: How much fun is the chess match of each off season?
• 7:54
  Speaker 10: Now everybody's talking about twelve and thirteen personnality, so I
• 7:57
  Speaker 10: guess that's the hot topic. But is that on for
• 8:00
  Speaker 10: guys on the defensive side, you have to try to
• 8:02
  Speaker 10: counteract it.
• 8:03
  Speaker 11: It's so fun, especially for us in our building. Yeah,
• 8:09
  Speaker 11: because of how maniacal and crazy our offense can be
• 8:14
  Speaker 11: when it comes to attacking defense. Once again, if we're
• 8:18
  Speaker 11: not on it on a day to day basis, we
• 8:20
  Speaker 11: will get embarrassed. So we always have that sensor urgency
• 8:24
  Speaker 11: of that number one. We gotta be on it or
• 8:27
  Speaker 11: else it's just gonna look bad.
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: So it's it's really I give a lot.
• 8:33
  Speaker 11: I give the offense a lot of credit that they
• 8:35
  Speaker 11: keep us on our toes. That obviously number one first
• 8:39
  Speaker 11: and foremost, we gotta be fundamentally sound our schemes have
• 8:42
  Speaker 11: to be sound, and our preparation has to be at
• 8:46
  Speaker 11: the utmost because on a given practice it looks like
• 8:52
  Speaker 11: game day out there. I'm like, oh my god, where
• 8:53
  Speaker 11: where did they come up with that concept? And our
• 8:56
  Speaker 11: guys know that, so it's it really makes it amazing
• 9:01
  Speaker 11: to come to work every day.
• 9:02
  Speaker 10: We've been for ten minutes and I haven't asked you
• 9:04
  Speaker 10: about that. Taken a sense that's like, do we take
• 9:08
  Speaker 10: him for granted? Not me personally, but can you take
• 9:12
  Speaker 10: a guy for that for granted because of his consistency
• 9:15
  Speaker 10: and what he's done in the league for so long
• 9:17
  Speaker 10: that there aren't a lot of questions.
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't.
• 9:20
  Speaker 6: I don't.
• 9:20
  Speaker 11: I don't blame you for feeling that way because my
• 9:23
  Speaker 11: experience with him, having studied him and seen him from
• 9:27
  Speaker 11: before I got in the building. As soon as I
• 9:29
  Speaker 11: got in the building, I'm like, Yeah, this guy is
• 9:31
  Speaker 11: taking for granted because he's he's the He's one of
• 9:34
  Speaker 11: the most consistent people, consistent players, most intentional people that
• 9:41
  Speaker 11: you'll ever see. And I hope, I hope and pray
• 9:46
  Speaker 11: that I have another five of them in my career.
• 9:48
  Speaker 11: Some guys don't have a guy that's disconsistent, and it's
• 9:53
  Speaker 11: just a reminder to me, a lesson to me, like, hey,
• 9:55
  Speaker 11: you've got one of those guys, Now, let's make sure
• 9:58
  Speaker 11: we're making it count while we have them.
• 10:01
  Speaker 7: Are your first time in like three years that the
• 10:04
  Speaker 7: defensive players are at consistent and coaching staff and they
• 10:08
  Speaker 7: talk about it, Uh, how much that means to them
• 10:10
  Speaker 7: to have you guys back. Do you see the defense
• 10:13
  Speaker 7: at an entirely different place.
• 10:15
  Speaker 12: Than they raced it last year?
• 10:17
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 10:18
  Speaker 11: The reason why I agree with you on that is,
• 10:22
  Speaker 11: for example, a year ago, we're just learning the language.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: We're like, we're learning French. We don't know what the
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: French words mean.
• 10:30
  Speaker 9: They're just saying 'em, you know.
• 10:32
  Speaker 11: But halfway into the season, right, we're saying bonjous and
• 10:36
  Speaker 11: everybody knows alright, that means hot. But here now, at
• 10:40
  Speaker 11: this point in the second year, it's whole paragraphs instead
• 10:44
  Speaker 11: of just words. Right, this word means this plus this,
• 10:49
  Speaker 11: and now we can anticipate and play faster. It's it's
• 10:53
  Speaker 11: night and day. And once again I'll give a lot
• 10:56
  Speaker 11: of credit to to Liam and Cam where we're pushing
• 11:01
  Speaker 11: not only the players, but the coach is also that Hey,
• 11:03
  Speaker 11: we have to.
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: Be way far ahead of where we.
• 11:06
  Speaker 11: Were last year, or else will be the same team
• 11:09
  Speaker 11: we were last year. You can't be what you were
• 11:11
  Speaker 11: last year in this league.
• 11:12
  Speaker 9: You'll you'll get abused.
• 11:14
  Speaker 13: Kind of going back to you talked about not taking
• 11:17
  Speaker 13: it for granted, uh, sort of using utilizing him as
• 11:20
  Speaker 13: much as possible. How important does he to the linebacker
• 11:24
  Speaker 13: room in general, just to have that guy in that room?
• 11:27
  Speaker 6: Yeah? How important?
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 11:29
  Speaker 11: With him? With him, it's a complete player you're talking
• 11:31
  Speaker 11: about on the grass, off the grass, He does it all.
• 11:37
  Speaker 11: There's just things that I know as the linebacker coach
• 11:40
  Speaker 11: that I don't have to worry about because he's gonna
• 11:41
  Speaker 11: take care of it. It just allows me to to
• 11:45
  Speaker 11: focus on the real issues rather than you know, for example,
• 11:51
  Speaker 11: I've been in places where we're so young that as
• 11:55
  Speaker 11: a as the position coach, I'm doing step A through Z. Here,
• 11:59
  Speaker 11: it's all right, here's the plan. I know they're gonna
• 12:04
  Speaker 11: watch it. I know Foe's gonna have them watching it
• 12:08
  Speaker 11: together before they watch.
• 12:09
  Speaker 9: It, you know.
• 12:09
  Speaker 11: So there's just there's layers in there that that not
• 12:14
  Speaker 11: everybody has in every building.
• 12:16
  Speaker 14: I think how we use Trayvon obviously based on the
• 12:23
  Speaker 14: type of player that he is, gives us that flexibility
• 12:26
  Speaker 14: through his versatility, or we just want to put him
• 12:30
  Speaker 14: in the best position we can week out, whatever that
• 12:33
  Speaker 14: looks like.
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: And I think he's on the same page with us there.
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: How can he impact the game?
• 12:41
  Speaker 14: And it might be on the edge, it might be inside,
• 12:44
  Speaker 14: it might be standing up, it might be in a
• 12:46
  Speaker 14: four eye each week. The great thing about a selfless
• 12:49
  Speaker 14: player like him is that he's gonna do what we
• 12:51
  Speaker 14: ask him to do, and he's gonna do it at
• 12:53
  Speaker 14: a really high level.
• 12:54
  Speaker 10: We have the story, right, It sounds like Josh here
• 12:57
  Speaker 10: and wanted to move around a little bit last year
• 13:00
  Speaker 10: some point the season, second half the year.
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: How well did that work?
• 13:04
  Speaker 6: How big of a move was.
• 13:05
  Speaker 9: That from him as a player?
• 13:06
  Speaker 10: You guys are just staff to acknowledge that, and then
• 13:09
  Speaker 10: how much impact it did it provide?
• 13:12
  Speaker 14: I think the ability for great players to move around
• 13:18
  Speaker 14: and to a certain extent make the offense work. You know,
• 13:21
  Speaker 14: like if a guy's going to line up in the
• 13:23
  Speaker 14: same place every time there's a there's a significant amount
• 13:26
  Speaker 14: of game planning that occurs on the other team, like
• 13:29
  Speaker 14: how do we neutralize this guy and our ability to
• 13:33
  Speaker 14: move him, whether it's just versus different schemes, verus different matchups,
• 13:39
  Speaker 14: just allowing or forcing the offense to have to work
• 13:43
  Speaker 14: to find him at times. I think that's important for us,
• 13:46
  Speaker 14: and I think it also helps Josh, what.
• 13:48
  Speaker 10: Do you think Eric would give you still is twelve
• 13:51
  Speaker 10: years in Yeah, it's not an old guy, especially at
• 13:54
  Speaker 10: that position, But how much can you still give this
• 13:58
  Speaker 10: football team what you want.
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: To to give.
• 14:01
  Speaker 14: Let's just start with the things that he gives us
• 14:03
  Speaker 14: day and day out, and that's a veteran presence. That's
• 14:06
  Speaker 14: a lot of knowledge, not just for young players but
• 14:10
  Speaker 14: for everybody. And we've seen Eric impact games.
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: In both the run and the rush.
• 14:18
  Speaker 14: And the biggest thing for us is just making sure
• 14:21
  Speaker 14: that we are taking the proper steps and maintenance because
• 14:25
  Speaker 14: it is a long season, so we make sure that
• 14:28
  Speaker 14: we can take care of his body. But he's unbelievable,
• 14:31
  Speaker 14: you know, he's a true pro in that sense, and
• 14:34
  Speaker 14: our biggest job.
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: Is getting Eric the looks that he needs every week so.
• 14:38
  Speaker 14: That he's prepared for the game, and then getting him
• 14:41
  Speaker 14: to the game so that.
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: He can be his most effective. Let's reach.
• 14:49
  Speaker 14: We have an eager young player who has a skill set,
• 14:54
  Speaker 14: he has some explosion in his body, he has a
• 14:57
  Speaker 14: willingness to learn, And we have a guy that un
• 15:00
  Speaker 14: stands that his calling card first and foremost.
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: Has to be how hard are he plays?
• 15:07
  Speaker 14: And we can continue to develop that as a player
• 15:11
  Speaker 14: while he's trying to.
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: Carve out his work within our front.
• 15:14
  Speaker 13: It's kind of like thetaposition of what you saw there
• 15:17
  Speaker 13: and regions.
• 15:18
  Speaker 9: You've got to kind of handle a completely.
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: Different and we handle them all different.
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: You know, no two of those guys are the same.
• 15:26
  Speaker 14: Yeah, yeah, And you know what that's that's just the
• 15:29
  Speaker 14: nature of the league. You know, you have guys that
• 15:32
  Speaker 14: have been around and they've seen a lot, and there's
• 15:35
  Speaker 14: always an influx of new young talent and and that's
• 15:39
  Speaker 14: just kind of how the roster turns over. I think
• 15:41
  Speaker 14: our job as coaches is to develop each one of
• 15:45
  Speaker 14: those guys in their own way and then utilize their
• 15:49
  Speaker 14: particular skill sets so that they can go out there
• 15:53
  Speaker 14: and one help us be successful while also find personal success.
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: But why did you say that's his car his cling card?
• 16:02
  Speaker 10: He needs to know that his card is that your style.
• 16:07
  Speaker 14: Effort is at a premium around here, and if you
• 16:11
  Speaker 14: don't play hard it's glaringly obvious. And these vets they
• 16:15
  Speaker 14: want a guy that's gonna.
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: Go out there and tight hard, down then down.
• 16:19
  Speaker 10: Who better to learn from the Liamilton than really.
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: The whole room. And you know, the one thing I'm.
• 16:25
  Speaker 14: Really pleased about and proud of with this group is
• 16:28
  Speaker 14: that when people some of the compliments I get around
• 16:30
  Speaker 14: the leaders like quiet, your guys play hard. I don't
• 16:32
  Speaker 14: think there's any greater compliment, it goes to get Yeah,
• 16:35
  Speaker 14: we wanna we want great technique.
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: We strive for that every single day.
• 16:39
  Speaker 14: But effort can overcome.
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: A lot of mistakes.
• 16:48
  Speaker 14: How would you describe.
• 16:51
  Speaker 5: Person J?
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: Green?
• 16:54
  Speaker 5: So I really enjoyed DJ.
• 16:57
  Speaker 14: He's an incredibly hard work He's incredibly intentional. He understands
• 17:03
  Speaker 14: the skill sets that he has, and he also understands
• 17:05
  Speaker 14: some of the liabilities, and he works hard.
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: To overcome those things.
• 17:10
  Speaker 14: And I think Bjay's really set on maximizing his ability
• 17:17
  Speaker 14: and making sure that he excels in whatever role he
• 17:20
  Speaker 14: ends up with.
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: Hearing the jackuars, but.
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: Oh everybody, everybody's a little different. I'm a little different,
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: you know. So what I what I really enjoy.
• 17:30
  Speaker 14: About BJ is he is never afraid to ask he
• 17:36
  Speaker 14: wants questions. He has questions, he wants answers, and most of.
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: Those questions revolve around how can I do this better?
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: What can I do differently? Am I doing this well enough?
• 17:47
  Speaker 14: Almost to an extent of Hey, am I on the
• 17:51
  Speaker 14: right track?
• 17:52
  Speaker 5: And it's like, yeah, you are.
• 17:53
  Speaker 4: Hey, let's change this.
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: And if you give him something, he's gonna.
• 17:57
  Speaker 14: Go out of his way to make sure that he's
• 17:59
  Speaker 14: dialed in either continuing to do that or change and
• 18:03
  Speaker 14: fix whatever it is that we gave him.
• 18:06
  Speaker 10: As a coaching point, you mentioned the bride and guy's
• 18:09
  Speaker 10: playing order and people telling you that how gratifying is
• 18:12
  Speaker 10: it to see players like him strigo as Dickerson.
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and your journeys.
• 18:17
  Speaker 6: You know, not everybody's a top ten pick.
• 18:19
  Speaker 9: That's right, Bigger, faster, stronger.
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: You know this league is.
• 18:23
  Speaker 14: It's full of first round draft picks, and it's full
• 18:25
  Speaker 14: of undrafted free agents.
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: There's no cookie.
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: Cutter or no one route to a career in this league.
• 18:32
  Speaker 14: And a lot of people don't realize this, but I
• 18:33
  Speaker 14: was with Matt Dickerson in twenty eighteen in Tennessee when
• 18:37
  Speaker 14: he was an undrafted free agent, and I'm really proud
• 18:40
  Speaker 14: of the development that he's made, and obviously his ability
• 18:45
  Speaker 14: to come in here, start out on the practice squad
• 18:49
  Speaker 14: and just continue to work until the point where we could.
• 18:52
  Speaker 4: Get him up for the game.
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: When we got him up for the game, he made
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: an impact.
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: He was great for us.
• 18:55
  Speaker 14: And yeah, if nothing else, Matt Dickerson is tough, and
• 18:59
  Speaker 14: I love that about it. He's tough, he's reliable, and
• 19:03
  Speaker 14: he just shows up every day. And I think for
• 19:07
  Speaker 14: the other young guys in the room, when you when
• 19:09
  Speaker 14: you're able to point to these examples and say, look,
• 19:16
  Speaker 14: these guys were in your situation, or these guys weren't
• 19:21
  Speaker 14: in as good a situation as you, they weren't drafted,
• 19:24
  Speaker 14: But what they did is they came to work every day,
• 19:26
  Speaker 14: they got.
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: Better, they improved.
• 19:29
  Speaker 14: And for all those guys, I don't know necessarily week
• 19:31
  Speaker 14: one that maybe they were ready, but they continue to practice,
• 19:36
  Speaker 14: they continued to learn, they continued.
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: To grow, and then when they were called upon.
• 19:40
  Speaker 4: By the team, they stepped up.
• 19:42
  Speaker 14: And that was really gratifying to see as a coach.
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: And it makes you just really proud and happy for
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: those guys.
• 19:49
  Speaker 7: How is the.
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: How about that?
• 19:59
  Speaker 15: And it just watching that.
• 20:01
  Speaker 7: You guys are a little bit more on the same
• 20:02
  Speaker 7: page obviously this time last year's and learning.
• 20:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah have you seen that? Yeah, yeah, you definitely feel that.
• 20:07
  Speaker 16: You feel it in the meeting rooms, you feel it
• 20:09
  Speaker 16: on the grassy. It's it's been great. I think where
• 20:14
  Speaker 16: I've noticed it the most. You know, year one, we
• 20:17
  Speaker 16: were working really hard just trying to instill a coach
• 20:20
  Speaker 16: or if this is how you do things. This is
• 20:21
  Speaker 16: how you operate, this is what am is how you
• 20:23
  Speaker 16: operate in the meeting room, this is how you operate
• 20:25
  Speaker 16: in the weight room, is how you operate during individual
• 20:28
  Speaker 16: periods and practice. And now our guys are fully bought
• 20:32
  Speaker 16: into it. They're like, they know exactly what the standards are.
• 20:35
  Speaker 16: It's been really cool to see them hold that standard
• 20:40
  Speaker 16: on their own and it it it.
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: It's n right now. It's not been.
• 20:44
  Speaker 16: Coach driven, has been player driven, which is really what
• 20:46
  Speaker 16: you want at the end of the day. And so
• 20:49
  Speaker 16: that's been really great. And the other thing that I've
• 20:51
  Speaker 16: really noticed is year two, I get to spend a
• 20:55
  Speaker 16: lot more of my meeting time, not necessarily coaching what
• 20:59
  Speaker 16: to do, but now I get to spend more time
• 21:01
  Speaker 16: on the how the progressions of everything. I get to
• 21:04
  Speaker 16: spend more time truly dialogue and going back and forth
• 21:07
  Speaker 16: with these guys, being able to ask them the questions
• 21:10
  Speaker 16: of okay, I'm doing this technique in this call, where
• 21:14
  Speaker 16: my eyes got to be okay, my eyes are here.
• 21:16
  Speaker 16: If that key does that, now, where do my eyes go?
• 21:18
  Speaker 16: And just being able to truly have good dialogue conversation
• 21:22
  Speaker 16: and have them give me the information back. I think
• 21:26
  Speaker 16: that as you're learning something, you can only learn so
• 21:29
  Speaker 16: much hearing it, and then you see it.
• 21:32
  Speaker 4: You learn a little bit more, you get more retained.
• 21:34
  Speaker 16: But when it truly sticks is when you're able to
• 21:37
  Speaker 16: speak it back, like if I can speak it clearly
• 21:39
  Speaker 16: out of my mind, it's clear in my head. And
• 21:41
  Speaker 16: so that's always where you're trying to get to as
• 21:43
  Speaker 16: you're teaching new techniques or new schemes, whatever that is.
• 21:47
  Speaker 16: And so it's been great year two where you're not
• 21:50
  Speaker 16: starting from the ground floor in terms of hey, this
• 21:52
  Speaker 16: is what this means, this is what this is. But
• 21:55
  Speaker 16: now we get a truly coach. This is how it's
• 21:57
  Speaker 16: supposed to look. This is the progression of the play.
• 22:01
  Speaker 16: Not that that wasn't being done last year, but now
• 22:03
  Speaker 16: you just get to spend more time detailing everything out,
• 22:06
  Speaker 16: and I think that's allowed these guys to truly grow,
• 22:10
  Speaker 16: uh and deepen their understanding not just of their job descriptions,
• 22:12
  Speaker 16: but of what's going on around them in the big
• 22:15
  Speaker 16: picture of the scheme, how it all ties together.
• 22:18
  Speaker 7: You were part of probably one of the unique NFL
• 22:20
  Speaker 7: experiences with Travis hunt are playing on both sides of
• 22:22
  Speaker 7: the football. When you get to the offseason, kind of
• 22:24
  Speaker 7: take a look back at that. What were your takeaways
• 22:26
  Speaker 7: at least from the first season.
• 22:27
  Speaker 9: Of him playing.
• 22:28
  Speaker 16: Yeah, it takes a different person to be able to
• 22:31
  Speaker 16: do it, And for him to be able to as
• 22:35
  Speaker 16: a rookie step in and bank quality reps on both
• 22:39
  Speaker 16: sides of the ball and give us winning reps on
• 22:43
  Speaker 16: both sides of the ball, that's very unique as like that.
• 22:46
  Speaker 16: Obviously that doesn't happen every day, and so I was
• 22:50
  Speaker 16: truly impressed and still am impressed just with his mentality
• 22:53
  Speaker 16: that he attacks every day with to allow himself to
• 22:56
  Speaker 16: do that, because obviously physically that takes a huge toll on.
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: You, and you have to be a very special athlete
• 23:02
  Speaker 4: to physically be.
• 23:02
  Speaker 16: Able to do all the job descriptions, but then mentally
• 23:05
  Speaker 16: emotionally like, it's it's hard, it's different, and there's a
• 23:10
  Speaker 16: reason why it hasn't been done. And so for him
• 23:14
  Speaker 16: to be able to attack it every single day with
• 23:17
  Speaker 16: the right mindset, with the right mentality, and over the
• 23:20
  Speaker 16: course of the year, truly grow on both sides of
• 23:22
  Speaker 16: the ball as that just to me, the results speak
• 23:28
  Speaker 16: to who he is as a person and who he
• 23:29
  Speaker 16: is as a competitor. And so I'm excited because now,
• 23:32
  Speaker 16: just like everybody else, year two of the same system
• 23:35
  Speaker 16: or for him, systems, because he gets to learn both
• 23:37
  Speaker 16: the offensive and defensive system. I know that he attacked
• 23:42
  Speaker 16: the weight room like a maniac just over the course
• 23:45
  Speaker 16: of his rehab, and that's been great to see.
• 23:47
  Speaker 4: You can see him. He looks different, his body's grown,
• 23:51
  Speaker 4: it's developed.
• 23:52
  Speaker 16: So that's gonna pay huge dividends for him when he
• 23:54
  Speaker 16: gets rolling here in the fall. So he's doing everything
• 23:58
  Speaker 16: the right way and he's going to continue to do things.
• 24:01
  Speaker 16: He's going to continue to have success, and he's just
• 24:04
  Speaker 16: he's got to continue to stay true to that process and.
• 24:07
  Speaker 4: He's done a great job.
• 24:08
  Speaker 16: So it's been a lot of fun to see it,
• 24:11
  Speaker 16: to see it play out, and I'm excited to see
• 24:14
  Speaker 16: what year two looks like.
• 24:15
  Speaker 7: Outside perspective, I'd say the DVS safeties and cornerback is
• 24:18
  Speaker 7: probably one of the most competitive groups. Tons of talent
• 24:21
  Speaker 7: there in training camp. Is that exciting as a coach?
• 24:23
  Speaker 7: You know, you have multiple players maybe could be starters
• 24:26
  Speaker 7: and kind of seeing how that plays out.
• 24:28
  Speaker 16: Oh yeah, you can't replace competition like competition bring brings,
• 24:32
  Speaker 16: brings the best out of everybody, myself included. And so
• 24:37
  Speaker 16: the fact that we have a lot of younger guys
• 24:39
  Speaker 16: and older guys, but we have a lot of guys
• 24:42
  Speaker 16: that are growing, that are developing, that physically have the
• 24:44
  Speaker 16: tools to be able to.
• 24:45
  Speaker 4: Play in multiple roles within our defense.
• 24:48
  Speaker 16: That's invaluable for us and that'll pay dividends. Like all
• 24:53
  Speaker 16: the rest that we've banked this spring, great become training
• 24:58
  Speaker 16: camp when we get back after this little break, the
• 25:01
  Speaker 16: you know, the challenge is just gonna be starting where
• 25:04
  Speaker 16: we picked off with the urgency of.
• 25:08
  Speaker 4: Building the consistency.
• 25:09
  Speaker 16: Of the confidence that come from banking winning reps.
• 25:13
  Speaker 4: You know we talk about all the time.
• 25:15
  Speaker 16: Uh, you know, confidence isn't rah rah, I hope or
• 25:19
  Speaker 16: I'm I'm gonna speak it into hissistence no. Real confidence
• 25:23
  Speaker 16: is repeated reps of the result being what you want
• 25:26
  Speaker 16: it to be.
• 25:27
  Speaker 4: So how do you gain confidence. You gained confidence by banking.
• 25:30
  Speaker 16: Winning reps over the course of the spring, and then
• 25:33
  Speaker 16: over the course of training camp, and then over the
• 25:34
  Speaker 16: course of preseason, and then over the course of the season.
• 25:38
  Speaker 16: And if we can continue to stay on that track
• 25:40
  Speaker 16: of just attacking every single day like it's the only
• 25:42
  Speaker 16: day that matters, the season will take care of itself.
• 25:45
  Speaker 16: The results to take care of itself.
• 25:48
  Speaker 6: How much.
• 25:51
  Speaker 16: I can't wait. That's that's real football. That's real football.
• 25:55
  Speaker 16: Like everything in the spring is great. There's a lot
• 25:57
  Speaker 16: of really good things from the spring, but football is
• 26:00
  Speaker 16: playing with pads on, and so when you get pads on,
• 26:04
  Speaker 16: that's when it happens.
• 26:07
  Speaker 4: I appreciate you guys.
• 26:12
  Speaker 12: Uh yeah, for me for one, it obviously ups the
• 26:16
  Speaker 12: amount of time we have in the room. But they've
• 26:18
  Speaker 12: been really good. Uh, they're smart guys, they care themselves well. Uh,
• 26:22
  Speaker 12: they take coaching very well, and they're good athletes. So
• 26:24
  Speaker 12: obviously they have strengths in different phases. But they can
• 26:28
  Speaker 12: do both, all right. They contributed both, So super excited
• 26:31
  Speaker 12: to have them. You know, it's gonna make our team better.
• 26:35
  Speaker 7: Change the room a little bit and allowance.
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: Ar uh.
• 26:40
  Speaker 12: You know, obviously with Nate, you know, he's a little
• 26:43
  Speaker 12: bit more of the hy h tight end, so it
• 26:46
  Speaker 12: kind of maybe frees him up when we're getting you know,
• 26:48
  Speaker 12: toll personnel. But just having those two guys being able
• 26:50
  Speaker 12: to do more, you twelve thirteen stuff hopefully, you know,
• 26:53
  Speaker 12: we'll see can really just kind of let him do
• 26:57
  Speaker 12: what he does well. So and again, you know strange,
• 27:00
  Speaker 12: you know, can still do both. You know, he still
• 27:01
  Speaker 12: does all the same thing he does. But obviously when
• 27:04
  Speaker 12: you add talent, add more threats, and obviously in the
• 27:07
  Speaker 12: different phase that they contribute to it, it just helps everybody.
• 27:11
  Speaker 7: When you hear them talk about you know, twelve years
• 27:13
  Speaker 7: and I feel like Liam talks about.
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: It all were talking to Yeah, I love it.
• 27:16
  Speaker 7: It has to be exciting for me to hear that.
• 27:18
  Speaker 12: Yeah, absolutely, Yeah, kind of having that ability in the
• 27:21
  Speaker 12: off time have the more sense of more exit you Yeah,
• 27:24
  Speaker 12: I mean, anytime you get more tight ends on the field,
• 27:27
  Speaker 12: you love it, you know. But yeah, you know, like
• 27:30
  Speaker 12: I said, it's not just because it's a fat or
• 27:32
  Speaker 12: anything like that. It's because it's gonna help our team
• 27:34
  Speaker 12: win our offense, you know, score points. So yeah, definitely
• 27:37
  Speaker 12: excited for it.
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: For sure.
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: We haven't been able to see need as much on
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: the feed this portion of the off season. But what
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: have your impressions been ANDed him since kind of getting
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: him in your room?
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: For sure?
• 27:47
  Speaker 12: Yeah, Unfortunately, like I said, you haven't seen him much.
• 27:49
  Speaker 12: But I think he's what we want him to be. Honestly,
• 27:53
  Speaker 12: he can, like I said, he's he's also good in
• 27:55
  Speaker 12: the passing game, so once we get going, once you
• 27:58
  Speaker 12: get the pads on, it'll be good to see him
• 28:00
  Speaker 12: out there competing in both phases.
• 28:01
  Speaker 4: So yeah, he's good.
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: Anything surprised you about him that made you didn't expect
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: from everything.
• 28:09
  Speaker 12: Leading into the trip, I think honestly, I think he
• 28:11
  Speaker 12: moves around pretty well, gets down the field well, you know,
• 28:14
  Speaker 12: like I said, they didn't move use him too much
• 28:16
  Speaker 12: back in text A and M. But like said, I'm
• 28:18
  Speaker 12: very pleased with what he can do on the field.
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: Absolutely, as far as his playbook goes, How have you
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: seen that kind of above for a second year with
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: Coachidinsky and Cohen kind of being able to really work
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: on what they wanted to look like.
• 28:30
  Speaker 12: Yeah, absolutely, and it just opens it up for them
• 28:32
  Speaker 12: to call whatever they want. Really and just for us,
• 28:36
  Speaker 12: especially as tight ends if we do want to get
• 28:37
  Speaker 12: more in the twelve thirteen personnel stuff, being able to
• 28:40
  Speaker 12: be flexible, lineup as a receiver, as a tight end
• 28:44
  Speaker 12: in the back of whatever they need. Honestly, So just
• 28:46
  Speaker 12: the more we can do, the more.
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: They can call.
• 28:52
  Speaker 7: I feel like something similar happening this year when people
• 28:54
  Speaker 7: don't know a name right, so they're not sure wants
• 28:56
  Speaker 7: to expect You feel that same way the way I mean,
• 29:00
  Speaker 7: you're like it takes some time to develop or do
• 29:02
  Speaker 7: you feel like you are kind of learning how maybe.
• 29:04
  Speaker 14: More I feel you about Yeah, well, I mean you
• 29:08
  Speaker 14: know you utilize the people.
• 29:10
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 29:11
  Speaker 12: I mean obviously you draft them for what they do
• 29:13
  Speaker 12: well and how it helps our offense and how they
• 29:16
  Speaker 12: fit in our offense.
• 29:17
  Speaker 7: Uh.
• 29:17
  Speaker 12: But yeah, like I said, you know, sometimes they get
• 29:19
  Speaker 12: out there and you start you you know, you see
• 29:20
  Speaker 12: move around, you know, uh in individual perier stuff like that. Uh,
• 29:24
  Speaker 12: and that's kind of where it's like, oh, okay, you know,
• 29:26
  Speaker 12: maybe he can do a bit more, uh or you know,
• 29:28
  Speaker 12: whatever it is if it goes the other way with it.
• 29:30
  Speaker 12: So yeah, you know, it's it's always a little bit
• 29:32
  Speaker 12: different when they get here. How quickly they can you know,
• 29:36
  Speaker 12: learn the playbook and not just you know, run lines
• 29:39
  Speaker 12: on the page, but you know, kind of make it
• 29:41
  Speaker 12: their own.
• 29:42
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 29:42
  Speaker 12: So it's just how quickly we can get them going
• 29:43
  Speaker 12: with that phase. I think it's you know, it's been
• 29:45
  Speaker 12: a pleasant prize for sure.
• 29:47
  Speaker 7: Have you seen Brenton kind I mean he's now getting.
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: To be the veteran of the group, Yeah, for sure.
• 29:52
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: Have seen his progression for business career.
• 29:55
  Speaker 12: Yeah, I mean yea, like uh, Strange wants to be
• 29:58
  Speaker 12: the best, you know, obviously he's not afraid of it. Uh,
• 30:01
  Speaker 12: he wants to be called up, you know when the
• 30:03
  Speaker 12: games online. So for him to see that, you know,
• 30:07
  Speaker 12: to see the hunger he's got, and really just being
• 30:10
  Speaker 12: able to focus on the things that he needs to
• 30:11
  Speaker 12: improve on, because again, everybody's got a bunch of stuff
• 30:14
  Speaker 12: that we need to improve on, you know, individually and
• 30:16
  Speaker 12: as a room. But uh, but yeah, he approaches it
• 30:18
  Speaker 12: the right way. You know, He's always a pro helps
• 30:21
  Speaker 12: guys out when he needs to, and you know, just
• 30:23
  Speaker 12: to see him try to work out all the kinks,
• 30:25
  Speaker 12: all the things that he's improved on is really exciting, and.
• 30:30
  Speaker 9: He honestly contracts whatever.
• 30:32
  Speaker 7: Now you're saying, but how important is he?
• 30:36
  Speaker 12: Yeah, I mean very very important obviously, you know when
• 30:39
  Speaker 12: it comes to contracts and stuff. You know, obviously that's
• 30:42
  Speaker 12: you know, not my department. But would love to have
• 30:44
  Speaker 12: him here forever, you know.
• 30:46
  Speaker 15: So how do you keep a guy like well for
• 30:48
  Speaker 15: a little gage? You know, obviously last year comes in
• 30:51
  Speaker 15: as a starter, kind of takes a back seat to
• 30:54
  Speaker 15: cold wait in the years. Then he comes back and
• 30:56
  Speaker 15: you know he's playing guard way tackle. Shoot, how do
• 30:59
  Speaker 15: you keep him short of focus and engage with this
• 31:02
  Speaker 15: team with all the movie?
• 31:04
  Speaker 17: Well, hats off to that kid. I don't have to
• 31:06
  Speaker 17: do that. That kid's bought in. He's a Jaguar through
• 31:10
  Speaker 17: and through, and he's the type of.
• 31:11
  Speaker 6: Guy didn't matter. He was a guy in that.
• 31:14
  Speaker 17: Room, but he was a you know, he knew it
• 31:15
  Speaker 17: was a WEE before me kind of a deal and
• 31:18
  Speaker 17: it didn't matter.
• 31:18
  Speaker 6: You know, I could say I could go to Walker a.
• 31:20
  Speaker 17: Little right now, say man, you can go play right guard,
• 31:22
  Speaker 17: right tackle?
• 31:23
  Speaker 6: What got your coach? And that?
• 31:25
  Speaker 17: And that that says something to it because there's other
• 31:27
  Speaker 17: guys you go say that to some of these guys that.
• 31:29
  Speaker 6: Are like I'm doing what say that again, coach, No,
• 31:32
  Speaker 6: not this guy.
• 31:33
  Speaker 17: You know, he's the type of guy it'll go do
• 31:34
  Speaker 17: it and and then my hat's off to him.
• 31:36
  Speaker 6: He's done a great job, you know, staying locked in.
• 31:39
  Speaker 15: How special is that for him to be able to
• 31:42
  Speaker 15: transition to guard almost so seamlessly. I mean it's not
• 31:45
  Speaker 15: as though he's complaining in all his life he's mostly
• 31:48
  Speaker 15: tackled to him, How how how ut or how special.
• 31:52
  Speaker 6: Is that remembered able to do that?
• 31:53
  Speaker 17: Well, that goes back to the flexibility of the room.
• 31:55
  Speaker 17: You know, you know that that only helps us as coaches,
• 31:58
  Speaker 17: but it helps the room because you know we you know,
• 32:00
  Speaker 17: as you know on game day year, you're gonna get
• 32:02
  Speaker 17: a limited amount of guys, but you got guys that
• 32:04
  Speaker 17: can play three different positions. You're like, oh wow, I
• 32:06
  Speaker 17: mean I've been in situations or we're sitting there like, man,
• 32:09
  Speaker 17: if his tackle goes down, we're going to put a
• 32:10
  Speaker 17: tight end in there. You know, those are the situations
• 32:13
  Speaker 17: you just do not want to deal with, which I
• 32:14
  Speaker 17: haven't had to deal with here because of the flexibility
• 32:17
  Speaker 17: of that room. What have you seen from I mean, yeah,
• 32:22
  Speaker 17: uh e man's a guy that's locked in. He is
• 32:25
  Speaker 17: asking all the right questions. He he you know, he's
• 32:28
  Speaker 17: from his time that from the the time he's walked
• 32:31
  Speaker 17: in the door to now is an unbelievable growth.
• 32:34
  Speaker 6: He really has.
• 32:35
  Speaker 17: And and that's something that we expect the next step
• 32:37
  Speaker 17: when once we get the training camp and he's the
• 32:40
  Speaker 17: type of guy he sees the game and he wants
• 32:43
  Speaker 17: to know the why why Why why are we stepping
• 32:47
  Speaker 17: like this?
• 32:47
  Speaker 6: Why are we blocking like this?
• 32:49
  Speaker 5: And that?
• 32:49
  Speaker 6: And you know, and that's a great thing.
• 32:51
  Speaker 17: You know, it's a guy who's gonna learn not just
• 32:52
  Speaker 17: to play, but he's gonna learn the concept. And I
• 32:55
  Speaker 17: think that's big. You know, that's that's great for his development.
• 33:00
  Speaker 18: And consistency and just keeping that standard going throughout the
• 33:03
  Speaker 18: entire time.
• 33:04
  Speaker 11: Earlier, you mentioned to drop off from the middle portion
• 33:06
  Speaker 11: of the season.
• 33:07
  Speaker 9: What did you attribute that too?
• 33:09
  Speaker 5: They How did you view that?
• 33:11
  Speaker 17: Some of that was injuries, you know, and then then
• 33:13
  Speaker 17: some of that I mean, he, I mean, hats off
• 33:15
  Speaker 17: to the NFL.
• 33:16
  Speaker 6: Man, there's some aliens out there.
• 33:17
  Speaker 17: You know, we played against some good teams and they
• 33:19
  Speaker 17: got some really good players, you know, and that's the deal.
• 33:22
  Speaker 17: You know, we played some really good defenses, and you know,
• 33:25
  Speaker 17: they you know, it's that's just the way it is,
• 33:27
  Speaker 17: you know, And that's something they know. And we we
• 33:30
  Speaker 17: brought it up to them, and they're ready for that
• 33:31
  Speaker 17: next challenge to go compete against them once again for
• 33:34
  Speaker 17: this year, because like, just like I talked about them,
• 33:36
  Speaker 17: you know, I told them it's anybody's game. No, nobody
• 33:38
  Speaker 17: gives a about what happened last year.
• 33:40
  Speaker 7: You know.
• 33:41
  Speaker 17: Only thing they care about, only thing they know about
• 33:42
  Speaker 17: you is, hey, budd, you lost the playoffs to the
• 33:44
  Speaker 17: Buffalo Bills. Appreciate appreciate Yeah, mean time, meantime, thank you, Yeah, yeah, time, yeah,
• 33:50
  Speaker 17: thank you.
• 33:55
  Speaker 7: Coaching, you get into the off season, take a look
• 33:58
  Speaker 7: back and obviously what first year here. What were your
• 34:01
  Speaker 7: immediate takeaways when you came back. I'm sure you say,
• 34:03
  Speaker 7: to get the players back, what do you want to
• 34:05
  Speaker 7: work with them.
• 34:06
  Speaker 18: On right away?
• 34:09
  Speaker 17: Well, breaking it down, we watched each guy, you know,
• 34:12
  Speaker 17: and we do we like I think I've said this before,
• 34:15
  Speaker 17: we do like a three better, three best. So we
• 34:17
  Speaker 17: just take each guy and we'll actually say these are
• 34:20
  Speaker 17: the things you do really well, and we need you
• 34:23
  Speaker 17: to continue to do these things. Well, now, these are
• 34:25
  Speaker 17: three things over here we'd like you to get better at.
• 34:28
  Speaker 17: And then we'll take it a step farther. I'll ask them,
• 34:30
  Speaker 17: I'll be like, what do you want to get better at?
• 34:33
  Speaker 7: You know?
• 34:33
  Speaker 6: And those are the things we have to emphasize, you know.
• 34:35
  Speaker 17: And we started in phase one where it's just film
• 34:38
  Speaker 17: and there's meetings, and then we take it to phase two.
• 34:40
  Speaker 17: Then we take it to phase straight in the training camp.
• 34:42
  Speaker 17: And it's our job as coaches. We've got this lesson
• 34:45
  Speaker 17: plan laid out, and it's the idea of taking that
• 34:48
  Speaker 17: lesson plan and applying it to our players in which
• 34:52
  Speaker 17: they do get better. And if we're not doing the
• 34:54
  Speaker 17: right steps and something's disconnect, then we got to find
• 34:57
  Speaker 17: the reason why.
• 35:00
  Speaker 7: I feel like I've talked a lot of players and
• 35:01
  Speaker 7: a lot of what they appreciate about Liam and kind
• 35:04
  Speaker 7: of coaches that as a whole is that they practice well,
• 35:06
  Speaker 7: they play well, they can.
• 35:07
  Speaker 6: Earn a spot right.
• 35:08
  Speaker 7: It's not just those guys are left tackle no matter what. Yeah,
• 35:12
  Speaker 7: not every teams like that. Within your position group, do
• 35:17
  Speaker 7: you feel like that breaks a good competition on the
• 35:19
  Speaker 7: line where at any role nobody see at any spot.
• 35:22
  Speaker 17: Yeah, And that's the funny thing about it. These guys
• 35:24
  Speaker 17: have seen it. I mean they've seen guys get hurt.
• 35:26
  Speaker 17: You know, we watched it last year. I mean Pat
• 35:29
  Speaker 17: McCarey gets hurt at right guard and Truman was in
• 35:31
  Speaker 17: there most of the training camp and until we went
• 35:33
  Speaker 17: down to Miami, and I mean Pat felt it. You know,
• 35:37
  Speaker 17: you know, he's coming back from injury. He's like, I
• 35:38
  Speaker 17: gotta go, I gotta go, man, I mean Truman I
• 35:40
  Speaker 17: was like, yeah, I understand when you gotta get you
• 35:42
  Speaker 17: healthy first, you know. And so that's the thing. I mean,
• 35:45
  Speaker 17: these guys see that, and you know they don't. They
• 35:47
  Speaker 17: ain't gonna hang out and muscle beach no more. They
• 35:49
  Speaker 17: want to get healthy and get out there and compete
• 35:50
  Speaker 17: for their jobs.
• 35:52
  Speaker 15: Is that something you.
• 35:54
  Speaker 7: Was raced obviously with young guys always coming in to
• 35:57
  Speaker 7: kind of like that at this time of year training camp.
• 36:01
  Speaker 6: Oh yeah, yeah. And that's the thing. I mean, that's
• 36:03
  Speaker 6: our job.
• 36:03
  Speaker 17: I mean, these older guys know what our job is, coaches,
• 36:07
  Speaker 17: is to make you the best player we can.
• 36:09
  Speaker 6: But it's also the front office's job to.
• 36:12
  Speaker 17: Find the player that's gonna push you out just like
• 36:14
  Speaker 17: him and I'll share experiences with him. I'm telling them stories,
• 36:17
  Speaker 17: you know, from when I was a Steelers we had
• 36:19
  Speaker 17: an offensive line and there Ramon Foster guard and he
• 36:23
  Speaker 17: had a target on his back from day one. We
• 36:25
  Speaker 17: need to replace this guy. Well I'm sitting there seven
• 36:28
  Speaker 17: years later and the guy is still the starting left guard.
• 36:30
  Speaker 6: You know.
• 36:31
  Speaker 17: So just cause you say you're gonna replace somebody doesn't
• 36:33
  Speaker 17: mean it's gonna happen. It's up to that guy to
• 36:35
  Speaker 17: keep his spot.
• 36:37
  Speaker 8: Is very I make fun of him a little bit,
• 36:39
  Speaker 8: and I just say, you're like a quasi offensive line guy,
• 36:42
  Speaker 8: like you really want to be an offensive line guy.
• 36:44
  Speaker 5: Because he cares about the run game too. I don't
• 36:46
  Speaker 5: think you see that all the time.
• 36:47
  Speaker 8: Listen, I've been a couple other places now with some
• 36:50
  Speaker 8: other coordinators, and I'm gonna be honest with you, Like
• 36:53
  Speaker 8: William has always been about the run game, and I
• 36:55
  Speaker 8: you know, whether it's from his playing days, whether it's
• 36:58
  Speaker 8: his father instilling out in him, he understands how important
• 37:01
  Speaker 8: a run game is to him being a quarterback himself,
• 37:04
  Speaker 8: and it takes the pressure off of Trevor, you know,
• 37:06
  Speaker 8: having a great run game. But yeah, he he not
• 37:09
  Speaker 8: only understands the run game and who's supposed to do
• 37:11
  Speaker 8: well and how to scheme up and game plan.
• 37:14
  Speaker 5: But you know, he knows how to call it in
• 37:15
  Speaker 5: the right moment.
• 37:16
  Speaker 8: He knows how to call it at the right time,
• 37:17
  Speaker 8: the right moment, in the right scheme. Yeah, that's yeah, exactly,
• 37:23
  Speaker 8: or he'll get fired up, you know, make.
• 37:25
  Speaker 18: Chris Rodriguez is like superpowers being efficient, right, yeah, what's
• 37:29
  Speaker 18: what's where student's.
• 37:31
  Speaker 8: I'm really you know, I said earlier about you know,
• 37:35
  Speaker 8: old line front of the running backs, but this.
• 37:37
  Speaker 5: Whole spring, is, whole offseason.
• 37:39
  Speaker 8: I'm really impressed at you know, Chad obviously is on
• 37:41
  Speaker 8: top of those guys all the time, but really was
• 37:43
  Speaker 8: pressing his landmarks, you know that the defensive line. You know,
• 37:47
  Speaker 8: you're trying to teach me the intent of every run play,
• 37:50
  Speaker 8: where it's supposed to hit, how the back is supposed
• 37:52
  Speaker 8: to read it. I'm really happy with him not being
• 37:55
  Speaker 8: really a freelance back and listen, some of these backs
• 37:58
  Speaker 8: in the NFL have a little bit of freedom. Hey,
• 38:00
  Speaker 8: those guys are really unbelievable. But he's really efficient, he's detailed,
• 38:04
  Speaker 8: he presses in landmarks, he makes his reads really really happy.
• 38:07
  Speaker 5: With where he's at right now. But there's the other
• 38:10
  Speaker 5: side of it.
• 38:10
  Speaker 8: Now that we lost a thousand yard back, he's going
• 38:12
  Speaker 8: to step his game up, which you know, I've seen
• 38:14
  Speaker 8: a little bit of that from game tape to practice.
• 38:17
  Speaker 8: And then with the screen game that Liam wants the
• 38:20
  Speaker 8: screen game to.
• 38:20
  Speaker 5: Get going again. And then the blitz pickup stuff. Blitz
• 38:23
  Speaker 5: pickup stuff is his own anxencity.
• 38:25
  Speaker 8: You get better at that is you get older and
• 38:27
  Speaker 8: you understand defenses and the blitz packages, the unique blitz packages.
• 38:31
  Speaker 8: He'll get better at that stuff. And then he has
• 38:33
  Speaker 8: to just make sure that time and all the screens
• 38:35
  Speaker 8: is really good. Out of the Beckers, what's to Chad.
• 38:42
  Speaker 5: We have a good relationship Chad. Chad's awesome.
• 38:45
  Speaker 8: We we hang out a little bit outside of the
• 38:47
  Speaker 8: place and and we have a little bit of fun
• 38:49
  Speaker 8: relationship here. So I really I really respect him him
• 38:53
  Speaker 8: and Rixby and x NFL players.
• 38:55
  Speaker 5: And anytime I have a question about something.
• 38:57
  Speaker 8: Whether I'm getting too far outside, whether it's just paper talk,
• 39:01
  Speaker 8: or hey, is this real? Like you play the game
• 39:04
  Speaker 8: like they'll they'll remind me, you know, hey, just you know,
• 39:07
  Speaker 8: be real about this and that, whether that's you know,
• 39:09
  Speaker 8: realistic to expect the guy to do that.
• 39:11
  Speaker 5: They'll they'll rill me back.
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: Into some ext you see the door of an opinion
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: that being a lot nearer than that, Like.
• 39:21
  Speaker 5: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 39:21
  Speaker 15: Guys get along really really well, and that gels with.
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: The rest of the run.
• 39:26
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I think so, I think, yeah, we're naturally going
• 39:29
  Speaker 8: his room.
• 39:30
  Speaker 6: We have a few laughs.
• 39:30
  Speaker 8: I think you got to keep it light every now
• 39:32
  Speaker 8: and then because it gets you know, the season gets long,
• 39:35
  Speaker 8: you grind it out. But yeah, they connected with him early,
• 39:37
  Speaker 8: and he's just an easy guy to get along with,
• 39:39
  Speaker 8: the easy guy to get to know.
• 39:41
  Speaker 19: And like I said, we've found grab some dinner and
• 39:43
  Speaker 19: some you know, a couple of drinks here and there,

• 39:54
  Speaker 19: you know, and the relationship between who line and and
• 39:57
  Speaker 19: and the run game and coordinating and thing running backs
• 40:00
  Speaker 19: being detailed and pressing that landmarks and all that stuff.
• 40:04
  Speaker 5: Like he's really hard on these.
• 40:06
  Speaker 8: Guys and he's creative with those guys, but at the
• 40:08
  Speaker 8: same time, he holds the McConell.
• 40:09
  Speaker 5: He knows what it's supposed to look with so much better.
• 40:17
  Speaker 7: One year of experience, sort of lating the game coming in.
• 40:20
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I think he could, you know, carry the torch here,
• 40:24
  Speaker 8: you know, but you know as far as number one,
• 40:27
  Speaker 8: who knows. I mean you look at Tampa, we used
• 40:30
  Speaker 8: all three of those dudes. But I could say just
• 40:33
  Speaker 8: from Tampa watching Bucky or watching Tuck from year when
• 40:36
  Speaker 8: I was at Tampa to the second year David Wold
• 40:38
  Speaker 8: and I expect the same thing on two just a
• 40:40
  Speaker 8: elevator game even more so.
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm a great of you sing from both of
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: them over the past year.
• 40:46
  Speaker 9: A lot a lot.
• 40:49
  Speaker 18: In terms of just like not just on the field,
• 40:53
  Speaker 18: obviously the improving on the field, but it's just really
• 40:56
  Speaker 18: off the field stuff that I'm more impressed with, just
• 40:59
  Speaker 18: a maturity level of just understanding what it's taken to
• 41:01
  Speaker 18: be a pro.
• 41:03
  Speaker 9: Just amount of the stuff that they're studying now, you know.
• 41:05
  Speaker 18: And then it's even the off season, how they take
• 41:08
  Speaker 18: care of their body, the questions that I can just
• 41:11
  Speaker 18: tell about the questions that they're asking. They're just trying
• 41:14
  Speaker 18: to figure out more of the overall concept instead of
• 41:16
  Speaker 18: not just what they're supposed to do.
• 41:18
  Speaker 9: So I'm really proud of those guys.
• 41:20
  Speaker 18: We have a great room and now we're just trying
• 41:23
  Speaker 18: to do better than we did last year.
• 41:28
  Speaker 9: He's pretty he's pretty good. I'm excited.
• 41:30
  Speaker 18: Obviously, you guys cauldn't see him out there, but for
• 41:33
  Speaker 18: a bigger guy, he's like.
• 41:34
  Speaker 9: He's got great beat.
• 41:36
  Speaker 18: I think that sometimes we can't get the sense that
• 41:40
  Speaker 18: just because he's bigger, that he's just like straight.
• 41:42
  Speaker 9: Lined guys, just gonna put his hand down run everybody where.
• 41:44
  Speaker 20: It's very nifty and the old you can make guys miss,
• 41:48
  Speaker 20: you know what I mean, can he has some long
• 41:49
  Speaker 20: run So I'm really excited to work with them and
• 41:54
  Speaker 20: just then all have that versatility where we can have
• 41:56
  Speaker 20: a bigger guy, you know, knock.
• 41:58
  Speaker 9: Some people back, but also like and great yards too.
• 42:01
  Speaker 9: So he's efficient A good way to describe him. He's
• 42:03
  Speaker 9: very efficient.
• 42:03
  Speaker 18: Yeah, he's very efficient, and uh he's he can break tackles,
• 42:08
  Speaker 18: you know, make guys miss a little bit, and I'm
• 42:10
  Speaker 18: and then make miss not the sense of he's just
• 42:12
  Speaker 18: kind of completely just Barry Sanders the guy and just
• 42:15
  Speaker 18: completely joke him, but like enough just to make small
• 42:18
  Speaker 18: movements where you know he's gonna run you over a
• 42:20
  Speaker 18: few times, just the way you know, to decorate and
• 42:21
  Speaker 18: trying to tackle him. He's gonna side stick and get
• 42:24
  Speaker 18: more yards so and he's just hard to bring down
• 42:26
  Speaker 18: because he's so big.
• 42:27
  Speaker 9: So he has all he brings all that to the team.
• 42:29
  Speaker 9: So we're great to have him.
• 42:32
  Speaker 7: Do you have any changes in that room obviously off traveling.
• 42:38
  Speaker 9: That as a coach?
• 42:39
  Speaker 7: Is that a fun challenge for you to have guye.
• 42:45
  Speaker 18: Oh, that's that's the best part now, like him leaving,
• 42:48
  Speaker 18: like I missed him to depth.
• 42:50
  Speaker 9: I mean just the amount of time I spent with him,
• 42:52
  Speaker 9: his growth and like what we're able to do for him.
• 42:55
  Speaker 18: And you know he's able to get life changing money
• 42:58
  Speaker 18: and opportunity like there's been I'm so proud of that.
• 43:01
  Speaker 18: But like I told him too, we don't we don't
• 43:04
  Speaker 18: do better than you, Like that's our goal, Like I
• 43:07
  Speaker 18: told him that, Like we're gonna put try to put
• 43:09
  Speaker 18: a better numbers in you have more success, like outrush you.
• 43:13
  Speaker 9: That's just how we are at We're all competitive. But
• 43:15
  Speaker 9: like that's the fun part of like having a new.
• 43:17
  Speaker 18: Group, Like oh yeah, we're trying to crush you and
• 43:20
  Speaker 18: we're trying to have people forget about you, like that's
• 43:22
  Speaker 18: the best.
• 43:22
  Speaker 6: Part is that process or that philosophy.
• 43:25
  Speaker 11: We're going to do better on an individual basis or
• 43:28
  Speaker 11: the aggregate is going to be better than everything.
• 43:30
  Speaker 18: Everything, everything, everything that we do, we're gonna try to
• 43:33
  Speaker 18: do better than you. So the team, you know, for
• 43:36
  Speaker 18: the team obviously, have better rushing stash for the team,
• 43:40
  Speaker 18: be better on the screen, game, score much more touchdowns

  Speaker 18: and passing whatever, like, make more guys miss.
• 43:46
  Speaker 9: That's our goal.
• 43:47
  Speaker 6: He knows that.
• 43:48
  Speaker 9: So now we're gonna get there. It's a tough challenge.
• 43:52
  Speaker 18: I mean, you know, he put us some good numbers
• 43:53
  Speaker 18: for us now it's very productive, which are very proud of. Like, yeah,
• 43:57
  Speaker 18: you're not here now, so we're trying to we're trying
• 43:59
  Speaker 18: to beat you.
• 44:00
  Speaker 7: Brand Thomas Junior uh talk a couple of weeks ago.
• 44:03
  Speaker 7: Feels like his energies, mentality is.
• 44:06
  Speaker 18: A little bit different.
• 44:07
  Speaker 7: How are you seeing him at least so far where
• 44:09
  Speaker 7: you're compared to last year. Anything.
• 44:11
  Speaker 21: He's healthy, that's the number one thing. He's healthy. He's
• 44:15
  Speaker 21: ready to go. I'm excited. He's excited. Trevor is excited.
• 44:21
  Speaker 21: You know, they're making plays on pushing the ball down
• 44:24
  Speaker 21: the field and he's making the most of every opportunity. Uh,
• 44:28
  Speaker 21: from a from a mental standpoint, a physical standpoint.
• 44:30
  Speaker 5: We love where he's a when you get Jr.
• 44:34
  Speaker 7: Kobe's mid season right and he's only get to learn
• 44:36
  Speaker 7: so much as the season's going along. But having about
• 44:40
  Speaker 7: very smart to pick him up. Excited to sets you after.
• 44:44
  Speaker 21: I am because he is He's a he's a VET,
• 44:49
  Speaker 21: he's a leader, and I think all of our guys
• 44:52
  Speaker 21: have benefited by.
• 44:54
  Speaker 2: Him being in that room.
• 44:56
  Speaker 5: He says the tone.
• 44:58
  Speaker 21: He's continued to build relationships with He to each and
• 45:00
  Speaker 21: every one of those guys, especially BT the park.
• 45:05
  Speaker 6: So I mean I'm excited as.
• 45:06
  Speaker 21: Far as you know now you know moving forward, you know,
• 45:10
  Speaker 21: spending more time those guys, get an opportunity to do
• 45:13
  Speaker 21: things together and just continue to grow and mention the two.
• 45:17
  Speaker 7: Is this the kind of thing you were expecting him
• 45:19
  Speaker 7: to add of those splashing.
• 45:20
  Speaker 21: Plane, Well, the goal is to every every opportunity, every
• 45:26
  Speaker 21: day that we get an opportunity to come in here,
• 45:28
  Speaker 21: just continue to improve. And that's that's been his mindset,
• 45:31
  Speaker 21: you know, when you know every day there's something that
• 45:34
  Speaker 21: we're focused on and wanna make some improvements. And I
• 45:38
  Speaker 21: think he's had that approach since you know, coming back
• 45:42
  Speaker 21: and being healthy, and I think he'll continue.
• 45:44
  Speaker 2: To as we move forward.
• 45:46
  Speaker 7: You're part of kind of an unique experiment with Travis
• 45:48
  Speaker 7: Hunter playing on both sides of football. When you look back,
• 45:51
  Speaker 7: I know you got engined how about Halfway Club? But
• 45:53
  Speaker 7: what were your takeaways.
• 45:54
  Speaker 6: From the first year of that?
• 45:55
  Speaker 21: Kayle competitor, ball skills out of this world, a guy
• 46:05
  Speaker 21: that truly loves football, and so being around people like that,
• 46:09
  Speaker 21: you know they're gonna put everything they can into it.
• 46:12
  Speaker 21: And you see that now as he works his way
• 46:16
  Speaker 21: back with the rehab. You know he's pouring so much
• 46:19
  Speaker 21: into it, going back to the activation room and even
• 46:25
  Speaker 21: his rehab and coming out of the activation room to
• 46:27
  Speaker 21: actually going out.
• 46:28
  Speaker 6: In the field.
• 46:28
  Speaker 21: He's just trying to make the most of every opportunity
• 46:31
  Speaker 21: gets so he can be literally the best version of himself.
• 46:34
  Speaker 7: So park of Washington really all fell last year and
• 46:37
  Speaker 7: whatever role he was kind of putting in your mind,
• 46:39
  Speaker 7: can you be a number one with Europe and you
• 46:41
  Speaker 7: can play any role on.
• 46:42
  Speaker 21: These I wouldn't put any limitations to Parker Washington. I
• 46:46
  Speaker 21: think last year his mindset coming in was to just
• 46:51
  Speaker 21: I just want to keep improving day by day and
• 46:54
  Speaker 21: and and that's really all of our mindsets, because you know,
• 46:57
  Speaker 21: whenever we feel like, you know, we've kind of made it,
• 47:00
  Speaker 21: and and and feel like we can't grow as we
• 47:03
  Speaker 21: continue in our journey, that's usually when something negative happens.
• 47:06
  Speaker 21: But he's never had that approach. He always comes in
• 47:10
  Speaker 21: and it's almost like he just wants to continue to
• 47:12
  Speaker 21: just get better and evolve and put itself in a
• 47:16
  Speaker 21: position where you know he's he sees somebody that you're
• 47:19
  Speaker 21: gonna continue.
• 47:19
  Speaker 2: To talk about it.
• 47:20
  Speaker 9: I think this is the worst off season in Trouble's
• 47:23
  Speaker 9: career where.
• 47:23
  Speaker 21: The receivers that started in the end of one season,
• 47:26
  Speaker 21: I'm protected to start calling into the next season. How
• 47:29
  Speaker 21: beneficial can that familiarity in between him and.
• 47:32
  Speaker 9: Out of those tasks mean?
• 47:34
  Speaker 6: It can it?
• 47:35
  Speaker 21: It can only help, you know, when you have that
• 47:37
  Speaker 21: type chemistry and those guys put a lot into it,
• 47:40
  Speaker 21: you know, the throwing that they do, the conversations that
• 47:45
  Speaker 21: they have, it's only gonna help us be found at
• 47:48
  Speaker 21: our chain of high level For.
• 47:50
  Speaker 10: What do you think chemistry looks like between QB and receive.
• 47:54
  Speaker 10: But we've per I think with Liam said earlier this year,
• 47:56
  Speaker 10: he wants to be intentional about some of that chemistry
• 47:59
  Speaker 10: with Brian and the travel.
• 48:00
  Speaker 6: What does that look like a fast game place?
• 48:03
  Speaker 21: Well, also, it's just everyone being on the same page
• 48:06
  Speaker 21: from a timing standpoint, spacing standpoint, understanding. It's a feel
• 48:11
  Speaker 21: as far as when you're getting certain looks, certain coverages,
• 48:14
  Speaker 21: the anticipation knowing that, okay versus this particular look, I
• 48:19
  Speaker 21: can anticipate him taking this maybe this angle, or using
• 48:23
  Speaker 21: this technique to put itself in the best position to
• 48:25
  Speaker 21: make a play.
• 48:26
  Speaker 10: Is that what we saw the cold that year, where
• 48:29
  Speaker 10: he's so consistent in the way he does things even
• 48:31
  Speaker 10: though they hadn't been around each other.
• 48:33
  Speaker 21: Well, you're Bill Maze. As far as when you when
• 48:36
  Speaker 21: you maybe not being around each other, as far as
• 48:39
  Speaker 21: initially coming in but then the time put into it
• 48:43
  Speaker 21: once he got into the building, the conversations, all of
• 48:46
  Speaker 21: those add up as far as being on the same page.
• 48:49
  Speaker 5: What do you see. I know you've probably been asked,
• 48:51
  Speaker 5: so sorry you kept in about Brian.
• 48:53
  Speaker 4: Do you notice that you're different?
• 48:55
  Speaker 10: Uh, we've heard some He just feels like there's a
• 48:58
  Speaker 10: chess pumped out, a little bit of wars or confidence
• 49:00
  Speaker 10: about him that back here.
• 49:02
  Speaker 5: Well, he's healthy.
• 49:03
  Speaker 4: He's healthy, and that helps.
• 49:04
  Speaker 21: That helps with everything, you know, being healthy and just
• 49:07
  Speaker 21: he has a great attitude coming in here and and
• 49:10
  Speaker 21: similar to some of the some of our other guys,
• 49:12
  Speaker 21: his approach has been, you know what, I'm coming in
• 49:14
  Speaker 21: here and I want to I wanna get better in
• 49:16
  Speaker 21: this particular, maybe this technique or that technique, or maybe
• 49:20
  Speaker 21: learning the system. So he's doing everything he can to
• 49:23
  Speaker 21: put himself in a position to be the best person
• 49:25
  Speaker 21: of himself.
• 49:26
  Speaker 2: How much does he change, you guess officially?
• 49:29
  Speaker 21: You know, anytime you got a guy that's you need
• 49:31
  Speaker 21: you can push the ball down the field and make
• 49:33
  Speaker 21: big plays in the explosive player, I mean it helps everybody.
• 49:38
  Speaker 15: Can you tell his lock chair and maybe any fag
• 49:43
  Speaker 15: and he's quiet or in his mind a.
• 49:45
  Speaker 21: Little well, I mean he's quiet as far as his demeanor,
• 49:52
  Speaker 21: but once he generally steps out on the field, he's
• 49:55
  Speaker 21: he's he's another person that's very loud in his play
• 49:58
  Speaker 21: as far as he's explosive and he can make big plays.
• 50:02
  Speaker 21: But I think going back to just him being healthy,
• 50:04
  Speaker 21: I think that definitely makes
