  Speaker 1: Here over these last month or so.
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you're always you're you're always pleased and
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: you're always wanting a little bit more, right.
• 0:06
  Speaker 3: I mean, that's the beauty of this time is.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: You're you're trying to establish a foundation of fundamentals, techniques, alignment, assignment, right,
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: And we're not really judging as much as much did
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: he make the player not? It's more, hey, can we
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: break the huddle or can we get a call in
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: and go execute? And you know, I think you're you're,
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: you're fairly pleased with where you're.
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: At right now.
• 0:33
  Speaker 4: Has had a chance to switch jerseys there and then
• 0:35
  Speaker 4: with the defense. Just was that just a little bit
• 0:38
  Speaker 4: of what to expect, Yeah.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: I think so that's definitely what we have to build
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: towards for training camp and then obviously in season, knowing
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: that during practice he's going to have to do both
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: and so you know, he wants to do it. It's
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: not as if it's something where he can't handle. He
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: wants to go and do that more. He wants more,
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: and and that's a good thing, but ultimately we have
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: to also protect him from from himself at times as
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: well and make sure we get out of this phase healthy,
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: But that is absolutely the plan moving forward.
• 1:08
  Speaker 5: What's your message to the guys now that you know
• 1:11
  Speaker 5: everything's sort of wrapping up, they're about to go on break.
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: Uh, you know, the work doesn't stop.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: Go enjoy family and get away from it a little bit.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: But you know, we've got a lot of work to
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: do this summer. We've got to come back in the
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: best possible physical shape that we can be in coming
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: into training camp. Not use training camp to get in shape.
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: That's got to be something that we're hitting the ground
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: running and able to just go once we get in here.
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: And so.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: And they've got a lot of studying to do, right,
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: They've got a lot of material to continue to cover,
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: so that again we're not starting back at square one
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: when we come back in training camp. We will in
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: fact go back to Install one, but Install one maybe
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: a little heavier than Install one this spring. So ultimately
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: they've got some work to do this summer. And that
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: was the message your.
• 1:59
  Speaker 5: First off season for as a head coach.
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: Just what was that experience like now it's all wrapped up, Yeah,
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: it was cool.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: I mean it's the highs and lows your ride a
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: little bit as a head coach in terms of offense,
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: doing well, defense, special teams, all that, but in terms
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: of the connection with the guys and getting to know
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: them a little bit more on a personal level and ultimately.
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: To gain trust.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: Right, That's what this whole phase was for us as coaches,
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: to implement a foundation, but also get to know these
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: guys a little bit more on a personal level so
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: that we gain a little bit more trust. Ultimately, they're
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: not going to just go do what you say because
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: you're a coach, right, we have to build a relationship
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: and a foundation in order for those guys to trust us.
• 2:42
  Speaker 6: Actor Rookie Minicamp sixteen sessions out here, did it go
• 2:47
  Speaker 6: as expected or did something surprise you?
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: Or yeah, no surprises.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: It was very much what you would expect just from learning, growing.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: But I have seen some improvement for sure out a
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: number of players.
• 3:03
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: I don't have a true specific person that really stands
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: out like, oh my god, there was huge strides here,
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: but you just saw like a gradual understanding. Gradual guys
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: get more comfortable in this setting, especially some of the
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: younger guys. You know, the speed of this game practices
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: a lot faster than what they've maybe been used to
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: at their college, and you know, the guys are picking
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: it all up right, And if they don't know, you know,
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: that's been the cool part is they.
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: Haven't been afraid to ask.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: You see these guys up in our coach's offices all
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: the time, all the time, every morning. I mean, Devin
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: Lloyd's in here every single day, right, these guys are
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: they're trying to learn and.
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: Get as much out of it as possible.
• 3:43
  Speaker 7: Mumble.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: You and your staff now work on until training camp
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: ag ends.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, So continuing to trim the install and adjust our
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: installs and say, okay, what do we really want to
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: focus on and install one through three?
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: What do we want the next three install to be.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: We typically go in threes because that's how we'll kind
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: of practice in a lot of ways with an off day,
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: So tweak some of those and then also getting a
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: lot of the seasonal prep organized with whether it be
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: the video staff, analytics personnel. We've had a lot of
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: those meetings already over the last few weeks, but just
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: making sure that those things are getting a little bit
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: tightened up and ready to go for training camp.
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: Good both, Trevor, could you I know you've done it
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: a few times already, this obtusly could you just talk
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: about his growth from where it kind of started in
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: your system to where he is now.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think just calling a play right, like you
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: go out here on day one of Phase two and
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: you're calling plays, and whether it be a call and
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: run it play or a play with two calls or
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: a play with two calls and maybe a third adjustment
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: just his ability to go in and command the huddle,
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: call plays, communicate to his teammates, make protection adjustments.
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: I mean, defense, like I mentioned the other day, has.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: Thrown so many different blitz packages at us that that
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: multiplicity is great, it'll be really good for our foundation
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: this fall. But he has to think every single play,
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: like there's not a ton of plays that he can
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: just shut his brain off and go hand it off.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: So that has been a huge kind of adjustment in
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: some ways, but also growth where he's showing the ability
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: to go get us in the right plays, can to
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: the right call and make the proper calls. I think
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: that's where you've seen the most growth.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: For what you can get out of Danny Brown Tea.
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think so.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: I mean I think when you watched him last year
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: and you saw a little bit more of a ball
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: in hand slash deep threat, and you didn't really see
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: him work the intermediate that much. And I think over
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: the course of this spring, Trevor and him have gained
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: a little bit of a chemistry on some of those
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: you know, intermediate inbreakers, curls, maybe outcuts. I just think
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: that they have a little bit of a chemistry and
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: that that was part of the selling point to have
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: him come here was, man, we really want to continue
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: to diversify your rout tree and have you do more right.
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: You're not just a.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: Screen jet sweep vertical threat. We want to continue to
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: diversify his route tree. And I think that those two
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: have built a little bit of a chemistry out here.
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: First get you, you probably have an idea about what you
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: want your offense to look.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: Like and what you think it'll look like. But after
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: you go through spring, does that change markedly?
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: No, not so much.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: But I think that really comes when the pads come on,
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: because like out here, we're not really trying to emphasize
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: gap schemes too much because that's when those collisions can
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: occur when you're pulling people, trapping, whamming, pulling two. I mean,
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: that's where a lot of those things that occur that
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: you aren't really supposed to occur in this phase, right,
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: So we're trying to stay within the rules but continue
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: to get better at the zone game.
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: That's obviously a little bit more of a safe run
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: in this phase, but also something that we want to
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: be able to do.
• 7:02
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: Everybody runs zone in the NFL game, So I think
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: today was actually some of our better hits on zone
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: that we've had.
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: Had a couple better ones yesterday.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: But I think once you get into training camp the
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: run game, we'll have to diversify a little bit more
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: in terms of all right, we got the pads on,
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: where are toss cracks now coming out? I'm not going
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: to go crack one of our personal our players on
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: our team, So those kind of schemes are a little
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: bit more. We've practiced them and walked through settings so
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: that we're getting the installed and we're getting it repped,
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: so we have some muscle memory. But ultimately that'll come
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: a little bit more. In training camp yesterday we.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: Talked about wanting a clearer day from your offense.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: I think today I heard camp curse a little too
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: many times with completed passes.
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: Do you feel like you got that cleaner day from Uffens? Definitely? Yeah.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: I thought it was just less balls on the ground
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: in general, less procedures. There was less flags on the
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: ground today, thrown by our lovely referees that came from
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: the NFL. It was right, you know, once those refs come,
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: NFL guys come, it's real. They're throwing the real flags.
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: And it was great having those guys in the building
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: and hearing their reasons why and so that definitely helped
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: clean it up a little bit and specifically offensively.
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: I felt like it was just a better overall day.
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: We wanted to.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: Leave here with good momentum and confidence that these guys
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: can go and have and take through the offseason program.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: On special teams today. Your thoughts on came a little long.
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: What your man, he's a stud. You should see him
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: hit a golf ball. I mean it's like the same
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: that you see out here. I mean, he's just he's explosive,
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: the ball jumps off his foot. He's got multiple different
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: kicks in his repertoire and the kickoff game as well,
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: which obviously we know with the new rule changes will
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: be really imperative for us to be able to take
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: advantage of some of those rules with the different type
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: of kicks and styles of play. So he's been great,
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: been really consistent, and he's really fun to be around.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: Your first day in Florida, are you looking forward to right?
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: I am.
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: And we're we're heading out of here on Sunday here,
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: so I'll be we'll be flying, We're traveling a little
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: bit up north and going overseas to go hit the.
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: Golf ball a little bit. So, uh, it'll be cool.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's it's always nice to be with the
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: family get away from it for a few days, but
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: also it's really hard to get away from it in
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: the mind. Like a nine. Yeah, a nine, So I.
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: Mean I can hit it.
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: I can't putt, but uh, you know, usually it's something
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: that you practice and I don't much have much time
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: to practice it. I like to drive, I like to
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: hit irons. I don't love the putter. Chip played the
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: yards last week though. That was cool with Travis.
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: I know obviously you've talked about him a lot, but
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: just after spending the last two months with him, where
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: do you think he's grown the most?
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: I think he's physically grown. I mean, I think.
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: You you know, you looked at we had the weight
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: room goals and accomplishments that we had this spring, and
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: he was up there with some of the guys that
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: have put on the most muscle mass since getting here
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: this spring. So I think I've seen a little bit
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: of a physical growth, specifically in his upper half. And
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: also just I mean, that's a lot of volume, man,
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: you know, it's a lot of volume. This is not
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: an offense specifically that just go out, line up and
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: play right. There's a lot of shifts and motions and
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: two play calls, sometimes three calls, so it is a
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: lot and then him having to obviously do defense as well.
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: So you know, you see the type of guy that
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: he is. He's in here early, he stays late, and
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: he wants to work. He loves the game. And the
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: growth will continue. I think we'll see a little bit
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: more of a jump once we get into training camp
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: as well.
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: Pretty good, all good.
• 10:47
  Speaker 7: He used me throughout all spring and that's just yeah,
• 10:50
  Speaker 7: I thought it was really good. You know, some good days,
• 10:52
  Speaker 7: some days were a little sloppier, and that's just that's
• 10:54
  Speaker 7: part of it, especially a new system. A lot of
• 10:57
  Speaker 7: new guys. Everyone's playing together kind of for the first
• 10:59
  Speaker 7: time for a lot of us. So overall, I thought
• 11:03
  Speaker 7: it was really good. I thought we learned a lot,
• 11:05
  Speaker 7: took some really big steps of improvement throughout OTAs, and
• 11:08
  Speaker 7: you know, I'm proud of the guys how they worked. Everyone,
• 11:11
  Speaker 7: you know, worked their tail off all off season, really
• 11:13
  Speaker 7: pushed ourselves. You know, there's a lot of times where
• 11:15
  Speaker 7: this is a period where some people can kind of
• 11:17
  Speaker 7: take it easy, and I felt like every day we
• 11:18
  Speaker 7: really came out here, you know, busted our ass and
• 11:22
  Speaker 7: really were intentional about what we were doing.
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: Was just because a general soreness could just talk about that.
• 11:28
  Speaker 7: Yeah, just you know, you gotta think about it. I
• 11:31
  Speaker 7: hadn't thrown since before OTA, since December, so or really yeah, December,
• 11:37
  Speaker 7: So it was about four months of not throwing. And
• 11:40
  Speaker 7: that's like I've never I don't know the last time.
• 11:42
  Speaker 7: I couldn't tell you last time I didn't throw up
• 11:44
  Speaker 7: for four months. I guess four years ago when I
• 11:46
  Speaker 7: got surgery. So I think just going from that to
• 11:49
  Speaker 7: through I started throwing a couple of weeks before we
• 11:51
  Speaker 7: started the off season program, but then we jumped into
• 11:54
  Speaker 7: practice in heavy volume, and I think just over time.
• 11:57
  Speaker 7: You know, obviously you got adjustin, got to get in
• 11:58
  Speaker 7: shape for that. So just a little bit to soreness.
• 12:00
  Speaker 7: The compression helps just relieve some of that. But that's
• 12:03
  Speaker 7: all it is. So nothing I'm concerned about.
• 12:06
  Speaker 5: Where do you feel like you've maybe grown the most
• 12:08
  Speaker 5: within the system over the course of OTAs and everything.
• 12:11
  Speaker 7: You know, Like I've said, change some of my footwork,
• 12:13
  Speaker 7: so I feel a lot more comfortable with that, just
• 12:16
  Speaker 7: some subtle changes. I think footwork my eyes just where
• 12:19
  Speaker 7: I'm starting, you know, using my eyes as a weapon
• 12:22
  Speaker 7: and manipulating the defense. I thought there was some great
• 12:24
  Speaker 7: stuff on tape throughout the spring of me being able
• 12:27
  Speaker 7: to do that and the ways I wanted to. So
• 12:29
  Speaker 7: that was a big step just overall being comfortable with
• 12:32
  Speaker 7: the system, not thinking as much. You know, when you
• 12:34
  Speaker 7: hear a play call, it's not like I'm straining to
• 12:36
  Speaker 7: think about what I'm doing. You know, at first, when
• 12:38
  Speaker 7: you get the system that you're you're kind of doing that.
• 12:40
  Speaker 7: But towards the end it felt a lot more second
• 12:42
  Speaker 7: nature and felt like I could just go and play
• 12:44
  Speaker 7: and communicate and move fast.
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: Like working with Spencer.
• 12:47
  Speaker 7: Whipple he's been awesome, just has a lot of great insight.
• 12:51
  Speaker 7: He's really smart. We have a great relationship. It's been
• 12:53
  Speaker 7: fun working with him and love his personality very even keel,
• 12:57
  Speaker 7: calm demeanor. That's always something I appreciate QB coach, so
• 13:01
  Speaker 7: that's important to me, and he's been great to work with.
• 13:03
  Speaker 7: I think the alignment between him and Liam and Grant
• 13:06
  Speaker 7: and everybody and myself is is right on point. You know,
• 13:09
  Speaker 7: we're all on the same page. And even if there's
• 13:11
  Speaker 7: things where we might see a little differently, the conversation
• 13:14
  Speaker 7: and dialogue in the in the meeting rooms has been
• 13:16
  Speaker 7: awesome and with like, we always get to a place
• 13:18
  Speaker 7: where we're on the same page, which is which is
• 13:20
  Speaker 7: really important. How do you see Travis Hunter sort of grow?
• 13:24
  Speaker 7: I guess throughout the Port's OTAs he's grown a lot.
• 13:27
  Speaker 7: You know, there's uh, there's a lot obviously being thrown
• 13:29
  Speaker 7: on him. H being a being a high pick, you know,
• 13:32
  Speaker 7: playing both ways, there's a lot. You know, I was
• 13:34
  Speaker 7: I can understand being drafted high in the expectations, but
• 13:37
  Speaker 7: as far as I didn't play both ways, so uh,
• 13:39
  Speaker 7: that's that's another world. I think he's done a great job. Obviously,
• 13:42
  Speaker 7: this is going to be a big opportunity for him
• 13:45
  Speaker 7: during this break. You know, you want to you want
• 13:46
  Speaker 7: to you know, get your mind right and be ready
• 13:48
  Speaker 7: to go and be rejuvenated for camp. But you also
• 13:50
  Speaker 7: got to really be prepared and be ready. And he's
• 13:53
  Speaker 7: got some time to kind of get in the getting
• 13:55
  Speaker 7: his playbook and learn the system. Because rookies have a
• 13:58
  Speaker 7: tough job coming in when we're already half way through
• 14:00
  Speaker 7: the install So they come in and have the playbooks
• 14:02
  Speaker 7: in and they're just jumping in on a rand, you know,
• 14:04
  Speaker 7: so they don't get to start off like all of
• 14:05
  Speaker 7: us do kind of with the soft balls and work
• 14:08
  Speaker 7: their way in. They jump in right in the middle
• 14:09
  Speaker 7: of it. So I'm excited to just spend some time
• 14:11
  Speaker 7: with him this summer. You know, we plan on getting
• 14:13
  Speaker 7: together quite a bit and throwing, getting some timing down,
• 14:16
  Speaker 7: but also just talking through the system. And I got
• 14:19
  Speaker 7: no concerns about him. I'm really excited to see him
• 14:21
  Speaker 7: continue to get better. And I mean he's a special
• 14:23
  Speaker 7: player on both sides of the ball.
• 14:26
  Speaker 6: You can't learn anything about the offensive line until the
• 14:28
  Speaker 6: pads go on. What are your thoughts on that? Did
• 14:31
  Speaker 6: you learn anything over these thirteen practices.
• 14:34
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean I agree with that a little bit.
• 14:36
  Speaker 7: I think not totally though. I think it's still important
• 14:40
  Speaker 7: just for communication, identification with the defense, you know, working games,
• 14:45
  Speaker 7: passing off games. Yes, the physical side of some of
• 14:48
  Speaker 7: the one on one blocks. I think the defensive line
• 14:51
  Speaker 7: is always at an advantage when you're in no pads.
• 14:53
  Speaker 7: It's just it's hard. You know, there's nothing to grab
• 14:55
  Speaker 7: on too, there's nothing to really anchor in on, so
• 14:58
  Speaker 7: that's difficult. But as far as just the a mental
• 15:00
  Speaker 7: part of the game, your steps, your footwork, get into linebackers,
• 15:03
  Speaker 7: you know, being physical, violent with your hands, all that stuff.
• 15:07
  Speaker 7: I think the guys have been awesome. They've been great,
• 15:09
  Speaker 7: and yes there's some stuff to clean up, but that's
• 15:11
  Speaker 7: for all of us, so you know, I'm excited. Obviously,
• 15:13
  Speaker 7: you learn a lot more once the pads go on
• 15:15
  Speaker 7: one hundred percent, but I think those guys took some
• 15:17
  Speaker 7: big steps, and like I said, the system puts a
• 15:20
  Speaker 7: lot on those guys up front to really communicate and
• 15:22
  Speaker 7: know what they're doing. And there's a lot of adjustments
• 15:24
  Speaker 7: and it gives us a lot of answers, but you
• 15:26
  Speaker 7: have to know it and I think those guys have
• 15:27
  Speaker 7: done a great job of being prepared what Dami Brown
• 15:31
  Speaker 7: should do in the soft sid Diami. Yeah. Man, he's
• 15:35
  Speaker 7: I've been super impressed with him. His speed obviously is
• 15:38
  Speaker 7: a threat down the field, which is important as a
• 15:40
  Speaker 7: receiver can stretch the field. But also he's a really
• 15:43
  Speaker 7: really smart football player. You know, he's picked up the
• 15:45
  Speaker 7: system really quickly. He's always in the right spot. I
• 15:48
  Speaker 7: think that's something about him. I don't know, if you
• 15:50
  Speaker 7: guys watched plenty of practice, He's gotten the ball a lot.
• 15:52
  Speaker 7: It seems like he's always in the right spot. He's
• 15:54
  Speaker 7: always has a feel for the zone, like where to sit,
• 15:56
  Speaker 7: where to throttle, you know, kind of those voids. And
• 15:59
  Speaker 7: I just think he's he's really smart, and I'm really
• 16:01
  Speaker 7: excited adding him to the offense, to the weapons that
• 16:03
  Speaker 7: we already have. You know, it's it's exciting running backs.
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: What is tooting in all and showing.
• 16:09
  Speaker 7: You if anything, obviously Basi's fast, you can fly, and
• 16:14
  Speaker 7: that's a weapon. And I think just for those guys,
• 16:17
  Speaker 7: like I said, coming in and you're learning so much
• 16:19
  Speaker 7: and so much is changing, and just for them to
• 16:21
  Speaker 7: get comfortable thing and go play running back is such
• 16:23
  Speaker 7: a feel position and you got to get in the
• 16:25
  Speaker 7: flow of a game, and without pads it can be tough,
• 16:28
  Speaker 7: and so it's hard to say, but I've been impressed
• 16:30
  Speaker 7: with those guys just how they picked it up. Like
• 16:33
  Speaker 7: I said, bacial speed, I think le Quin's been awesome
• 16:35
  Speaker 7: and pass protection seems like he really understands it. Great hands,
• 16:40
  Speaker 7: hard worker. I mean, I've been impressed with just his
• 16:42
  Speaker 7: attitude and the way he carries himself.
• 16:44
  Speaker 4: A lot of new pass catchers obviously, just how has
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: that been getting down to time and end the reupts
• 16:49
  Speaker 4: with them?
• 16:51
  Speaker 7: It's been good. You know, there's there's things where it's
• 16:54
  Speaker 7: not always perfect, and especially at practice when you first
• 16:57
  Speaker 7: are learning guys timing and how they run routes and
• 17:00
  Speaker 7: trying to get your anticipation down. Like I love to
• 17:02
  Speaker 7: throw with anticipation, So I'm not gonna come out here
• 17:04
  Speaker 7: and practice waiting on guys to come out of breaks
• 17:07
  Speaker 7: Like that's not realistic. You know, in the games, you're
• 17:09
  Speaker 7: throwing it early, You're throwing a poor guy's breaks. So
• 17:12
  Speaker 7: I think sometimes you leave the fields some days you're like,
• 17:15
  Speaker 7: I wasn't the cleanest because maybe you miss some or
• 17:17
  Speaker 7: maybe the timing was off or a guy took an
• 17:19
  Speaker 7: extra step, but that stuff, once that happens, you learn
• 17:21
  Speaker 7: from it. If you just wait on guys to come
• 17:23
  Speaker 7: out of breaks every time, every ball is and gon
• 17:25
  Speaker 7: be is gonna look good, then in a game when
• 17:27
  Speaker 7: you have to throw with anticipation, you're gonna miss a
• 17:29
  Speaker 7: lot of them. So I think this is the time
• 17:31
  Speaker 7: to really nail down that timing and work on it
• 17:35
  Speaker 7: instead of waiting. So, you know, I think overall I'd
• 17:37
  Speaker 7: improved drastically over the over the off season. There's still
• 17:40
  Speaker 7: some stuff that we can work on, but we got
• 17:41
  Speaker 7: we have a few weeks to do it before camp
• 17:43
  Speaker 7: and then obviously camp.
• 17:44
  Speaker 5: So we're your colleges.
• 17:47
  Speaker 7: What you say, I'm sorry you really excited? Yeah, obviously
• 17:52
  Speaker 7: a first Follower's day. For for me, it's just been
• 17:55
  Speaker 7: the coolest thing becoming a dad and just the perspective
• 17:58
  Speaker 7: change that I've I've had from that and it's definitely
• 18:02
  Speaker 7: balanced my life out in a lot of ways. Uh.
• 18:05
  Speaker 7: You know, something that's hard is I feel like my
• 18:07
  Speaker 7: mind is always going and you go home and you
• 18:10
  Speaker 7: can't take any of that stuff home, you know, trying
• 18:12
  Speaker 7: to be the best husband and dad you can be.
• 18:13
  Speaker 7: It's really helped me kind of compartmentalize a little bit
• 18:17
  Speaker 7: and be able to go home and and just just
• 18:18
  Speaker 7: be a dad and enjoy that so instead of taking
• 18:21
  Speaker 7: stuff home with me. So it's been good. It's it's
• 18:25
  Speaker 7: just incredible seeing her grow up and you know, she's
• 18:27
  Speaker 7: starting to crawl and change. It's it's just crazy. I'm
• 18:30
  Speaker 7: sure as all all you guys that are parents out
• 18:32
  Speaker 7: there now, but it's it's awesome.
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: Doing this the longest year.
• 18:37
  Speaker 7: Yeah, we have a couple you know, family trips, stuff
• 18:40
  Speaker 7: with really both of our families, trying to get some
• 18:42
  Speaker 7: downtime and that's that's really about it. That's those are
• 18:46
  Speaker 7: the big things. And yeah, so we got some stuff
• 18:49
  Speaker 7: that try to try to get a little bit of
• 18:50
  Speaker 7: time with them before it gets crazy. And you know,
• 18:52
  Speaker 7: once training camp starts, you're not seeing not seeing the
• 18:55
  Speaker 7: family much, so it'll be good to spend some time
• 18:57
