WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.200 --> 00:00:03.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so this is kind of a transition week for us.

2
00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:05.879
<v Speaker 1>It's week four. Early in the week, we did some

3
00:00:06.200 --> 00:00:08.160
<v Speaker 1>just you know, we call it generic practice where we're

4
00:00:08.199 --> 00:00:11.800
<v Speaker 1>just working against ourselves, and then we start to work

5
00:00:11.839 --> 00:00:13.919
<v Speaker 1>into some game week prep. You know, you got a

6
00:00:13.960 --> 00:00:15.839
<v Speaker 1>lot of new faces. Yet part of this is just

7
00:00:15.880 --> 00:00:19.120
<v Speaker 1>training them to the ways that we do things, you know,

8
00:00:19.120 --> 00:00:21.280
<v Speaker 1>whether it's meeting during the game week or how we

9
00:00:21.359 --> 00:00:23.839
<v Speaker 1>practice during the game week. You get these high school

10
00:00:23.839 --> 00:00:25.920
<v Speaker 1>players in they've really never been on the scout team,

11
00:00:26.280 --> 00:00:28.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, teach them, you know, how we run our

12
00:00:28.800 --> 00:00:31.399
<v Speaker 1>scout teams, how they read a card, the intensity of

13
00:00:31.480 --> 00:00:35.200
<v Speaker 1>the effort, the speed, the pace that we want. So

14
00:00:35.439 --> 00:00:38.079
<v Speaker 1>still just a lot of educational stuff and it we

15
00:00:38.119 --> 00:00:40.200
<v Speaker 1>get we get a jump on our first game in

16
00:00:40.320 --> 00:00:42.880
<v Speaker 1>terms of some of the game plan stuff. So this

17
00:00:43.000 --> 00:00:44.200
<v Speaker 1>is always an interesting week.

18
00:00:44.439 --> 00:00:44.640
<v Speaker 2>You know.

19
00:00:45.479 --> 00:00:47.280
<v Speaker 1>Today it's you know, the first practice of the week.

20
00:00:47.359 --> 00:00:49.359
<v Speaker 1>Intensity kind of not the first practice the day, but

21
00:00:49.399 --> 00:00:52.560
<v Speaker 1>the first practice working on your next opponent. The intensity

22
00:00:52.600 --> 00:00:54.039
<v Speaker 1>goes down a little bit because there's a lot of

23
00:00:54.079 --> 00:00:55.759
<v Speaker 1>learning and tomorrow it will be better. And that wasn't

24
00:00:55.799 --> 00:00:58.520
<v Speaker 1>bad at all. They work, but it's it was a

25
00:00:58.600 --> 00:01:04.000
<v Speaker 1>transitional day for us. So we'll go tomorrow. Uh, we'll

26
00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:06.799
<v Speaker 1>go Thursday, Friday, we'll have a Mott game. They'll get

27
00:01:06.799 --> 00:01:08.599
<v Speaker 1>a couple of days off that they need to rest

28
00:01:08.640 --> 00:01:11.280
<v Speaker 1>and recover, and then we'll come back in and and

29
00:01:11.400 --> 00:01:13.519
<v Speaker 1>get going in earnest for the for the first game

30
00:01:13.560 --> 00:01:14.200
<v Speaker 1>on the thirtieth.

31
00:01:15.439 --> 00:01:16.879
<v Speaker 3>Can the players kind of sense the light at the

32
00:01:16.959 --> 00:01:18.120
<v Speaker 3>end of the tunnel getting ready to.

33
00:01:18.040 --> 00:01:20.280
<v Speaker 2>Play someone else? I hope not.

34
00:01:20.599 --> 00:01:22.239
<v Speaker 1>I mean, that's not what I want him to be doing.

35
00:01:22.280 --> 00:01:23.760
<v Speaker 1>There is no light at the end of the tunnel.

36
00:01:23.840 --> 00:01:26.640
<v Speaker 2>You know. We don't even look at the season that way.

37
00:01:26.680 --> 00:01:28.560
<v Speaker 1>I mean, there's just you gotta just put your head

38
00:01:28.560 --> 00:01:30.680
<v Speaker 1>down and grind every day, you know, And so we

39
00:01:30.719 --> 00:01:33.079
<v Speaker 1>don't we actually talk opposite that. We tell him there

40
00:01:33.079 --> 00:01:34.680
<v Speaker 1>is no light at the end of the t the

41
00:01:34.760 --> 00:01:36.400
<v Speaker 1>end of the tunnel, so just keep digging.

42
00:01:38.159 --> 00:01:40.280
<v Speaker 3>Which was a h press. You've never seen her. I

43
00:01:40.319 --> 00:01:43.599
<v Speaker 3>don't obviously Sky they're coming back, was big. But the guys.

44
00:01:43.400 --> 00:01:46.640
<v Speaker 1>Around him, Uh, Ty Bowman. Ty Bowman's a really good

45
00:01:46.640 --> 00:01:50.439
<v Speaker 1>football player. He's fought through some injuries, he's fought through

46
00:01:50.439 --> 00:01:56.799
<v Speaker 1>some discomfort. He's shown up big Ramelo before he you know,

47
00:01:57.000 --> 00:01:59.200
<v Speaker 1>got hurt and he'll be okay, He'll be back. Ramelo

48
00:01:59.319 --> 00:02:01.280
<v Speaker 1>was doing some really good things. He's physical, he's a

49
00:02:01.319 --> 00:02:04.079
<v Speaker 1>really really good blocker. He's a great slot receiver. Schamar

50
00:02:04.120 --> 00:02:05.840
<v Speaker 1>has done some really good things. You know, he's got

51
00:02:05.879 --> 00:02:09.759
<v Speaker 1>that speed to break away. Terence Smith has done some

52
00:02:09.800 --> 00:02:13.360
<v Speaker 1>good things. Chris Parker's done some good things. John Nyder

53
00:02:13.400 --> 00:02:15.080
<v Speaker 1>has been a little dinged up. But you notice when

54
00:02:15.080 --> 00:02:16.879
<v Speaker 1>he's out here because you know, he he just doesn't

55
00:02:16.960 --> 00:02:21.000
<v Speaker 1>drop the ball. He catches everything. Kaya Johnson, the freshman

56
00:02:21.159 --> 00:02:23.080
<v Speaker 1>has the last couple of weeks, we've really kind of

57
00:02:23.240 --> 00:02:25.960
<v Speaker 1>pushed him. He's got he's got speed, he can run,

58
00:02:26.039 --> 00:02:28.120
<v Speaker 1>you know. So now it's just a matter of comprehending

59
00:02:28.120 --> 00:02:30.560
<v Speaker 1>what it takes to play at this level and understanding

60
00:02:30.560 --> 00:02:31.120
<v Speaker 1>our system.

61
00:02:31.159 --> 00:02:33.080
<v Speaker 2>But I like that room.

62
00:02:33.120 --> 00:02:35.000
<v Speaker 3>What is it that Shamar he needs to work on

63
00:02:35.039 --> 00:02:36.039
<v Speaker 3>in particular too.

64
00:02:36.680 --> 00:02:39.439
<v Speaker 1>I think just consistency of catching the ball and being

65
00:02:39.479 --> 00:02:41.840
<v Speaker 1>able to lower his body, lower his center of gravity

66
00:02:41.879 --> 00:02:43.800
<v Speaker 1>and get in and out of breaks. You know, because

67
00:02:43.840 --> 00:02:45.800
<v Speaker 1>he's a six foot three, two hundred and eighteen pound

68
00:02:45.840 --> 00:02:48.800
<v Speaker 1>guy that can run, and sometimes when you're that side,

69
00:02:48.840 --> 00:02:51.080
<v Speaker 1>it's size, it's not easy to just lower your center

70
00:02:51.120 --> 00:02:54.360
<v Speaker 1>of gravity and slow the momentum and redirect and gain

71
00:02:54.439 --> 00:02:57.599
<v Speaker 1>momentum and accelerate. So those are the two things he

72
00:02:57.639 --> 00:02:59.960
<v Speaker 1>needs to work on. But he's he's a hard work

73
00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:01.199
<v Speaker 1>or he's a great kid.

74
00:03:01.719 --> 00:03:04.120
<v Speaker 2>Uh. He loves to work, he loves to practice.

75
00:03:04.360 --> 00:03:06.319
<v Speaker 1>I think he had a little bit of a breakthrough today.

76
00:03:06.479 --> 00:03:08.479
<v Speaker 1>Quite frankly, you know, he's had a couple of days

77
00:03:08.479 --> 00:03:10.840
<v Speaker 1>where I think he's kind of maybe ah I he

78
00:03:10.840 --> 00:03:12.240
<v Speaker 1>he called it just kind of in his head a

79
00:03:12.280 --> 00:03:14.840
<v Speaker 1>little bit too much, and we talked about it during practice,

80
00:03:14.840 --> 00:03:17.400
<v Speaker 1>and and I saw him really elevate his game in

81
00:03:17.400 --> 00:03:18.599
<v Speaker 1>the second half of practice.

82
00:03:18.840 --> 00:03:20.879
<v Speaker 4>Jim, some you mentioned Nier and some of the the

83
00:03:21.000 --> 00:03:24.159
<v Speaker 4>in state guys that you've gotten Knighter Harper, Uh.

84
00:03:24.120 --> 00:03:26.759
<v Speaker 2>Teddy Williams. I should have mentioned Jackson.

85
00:03:26.919 --> 00:03:28.919
<v Speaker 4>Sorry, but I mean, but those guys have really made

86
00:03:29.080 --> 00:03:31.560
<v Speaker 4>uh found a niche on special teams in these last

87
00:03:31.599 --> 00:03:33.800
<v Speaker 4>couple of years. Maybe now is there's more of an

88
00:03:33.800 --> 00:03:35.960
<v Speaker 4>opportunity of offense. Well what what what have you seen

89
00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:37.840
<v Speaker 4>from those guys since they've been here in terms of

90
00:03:37.879 --> 00:03:40.520
<v Speaker 4>their determination to the contribute.

91
00:03:40.199 --> 00:03:43.159
<v Speaker 1>Well, a ton of determination to contribute, a ton of grit.

92
00:03:45.520 --> 00:03:48.680
<v Speaker 1>They're they're loyal, it's very important to them. To play

93
00:03:48.919 --> 00:03:51.120
<v Speaker 1>in their home state for this university, and you see

94
00:03:51.159 --> 00:03:52.439
<v Speaker 1>it in the way they prepare every day.

95
00:03:53.000 --> 00:03:53.159
<v Speaker 2>You know.

96
00:03:53.199 --> 00:03:56.240
<v Speaker 1>You talk about Teddy and Jackson and they're just very dependable.

97
00:03:56.520 --> 00:03:58.479
<v Speaker 1>And I think Jason's gonna go from being a a

98
00:03:58.520 --> 00:04:00.599
<v Speaker 1>special teams guy who I should have mentioned him when

99
00:04:00.599 --> 00:04:02.479
<v Speaker 1>I talked about the receivers to a guy that's gonna

100
00:04:02.520 --> 00:04:05.759
<v Speaker 1>contribute in games for us. You know, they become very

101
00:04:05.840 --> 00:04:09.479
<v Speaker 1>very trustworthy to us. And you know you can add in,

102
00:04:09.680 --> 00:04:11.919
<v Speaker 1>you know what Cam's become and when Victor's become and

103
00:04:12.000 --> 00:04:14.960
<v Speaker 1>some other guys. And so it's fun to watch those guys,

104
00:04:15.520 --> 00:04:19.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, have some success or be on the prespice

105
00:04:19.240 --> 00:04:20.879
<v Speaker 1>of success.

106
00:04:20.480 --> 00:04:22.480
<v Speaker 2>In in their home state. You know, it's got to

107
00:04:22.519 --> 00:04:22.959
<v Speaker 2>feel good.

108
00:04:23.040 --> 00:04:24.079
<v Speaker 4>And they do the dirty working.

109
00:04:24.279 --> 00:04:26.319
<v Speaker 1>There was a leading tech yeah uh, he was our

110
00:04:26.319 --> 00:04:28.199
<v Speaker 1>special Player of the Year last year.

111
00:04:28.319 --> 00:04:28.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

112
00:04:28.480 --> 00:04:31.120
<v Speaker 1>I mean there was a high school quarterback who Now

113
00:04:31.160 --> 00:04:33.439
<v Speaker 1>I used him as as an example this morning to

114
00:04:33.480 --> 00:04:35.879
<v Speaker 1>the Scout team players that haven't done this before. I so,

115
00:04:36.000 --> 00:04:37.759
<v Speaker 1>you know, John Nyder came here a couple of years ago.

116
00:04:37.800 --> 00:04:39.560
<v Speaker 2>He was a high school quarterback.

117
00:04:39.639 --> 00:04:43.000
<v Speaker 1>I said, But the Scout team defense or the the

118
00:04:43.160 --> 00:04:45.480
<v Speaker 1>first and second team defensive players going against him in

119
00:04:45.480 --> 00:04:47.279
<v Speaker 1>and practice every day. Just kept saying, my god, this

120
00:04:47.319 --> 00:04:49.600
<v Speaker 1>guy he just catches everything. As we moved him the receiver,

121
00:04:49.959 --> 00:04:51.639
<v Speaker 1>he found his way to the field. Then he found

122
00:04:51.680 --> 00:04:52.759
<v Speaker 1>his way to a scholarship.

123
00:04:53.000 --> 00:04:53.199
<v Speaker 2>You know.

124
00:04:53.279 --> 00:04:54.720
<v Speaker 1>So it just says a lot about him and it's

125
00:04:54.759 --> 00:04:57.279
<v Speaker 1>a great example of what you know, these young guys

126
00:04:57.360 --> 00:04:58.600
<v Speaker 1>have to try to aspire to.

127
00:04:59.680 --> 00:05:02.439
<v Speaker 3>So there's more clarity at quarterback than there has been

128
00:05:02.439 --> 00:05:04.199
<v Speaker 3>the last couple of years at this point in camp.

129
00:05:04.279 --> 00:05:04.439
<v Speaker 1>Is that.

130
00:05:06.079 --> 00:05:08.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean there's you know, there's clarity. Yeah. Well,

131
00:05:08.720 --> 00:05:09.680
<v Speaker 2>we like all our guys.

132
00:05:09.720 --> 00:05:11.480
<v Speaker 1>I mean I I think that all four of those

133
00:05:11.519 --> 00:05:14.839
<v Speaker 1>guys add something. It's nice to have depth, you know,

134
00:05:15.160 --> 00:05:17.639
<v Speaker 1>knock on wood. You know, we've gone three years where

135
00:05:17.680 --> 00:05:18.839
<v Speaker 1>we haven't been able to get out of a season

136
00:05:18.879 --> 00:05:22.120
<v Speaker 1>with that having a quarterback injury. So, uh, I think

137
00:05:22.199 --> 00:05:24.839
<v Speaker 1>we're more set up if that happens. Hopefully it doesn't happen, though.

138
00:05:25.439 --> 00:05:27.480
<v Speaker 3>How about your line played the boys on up.

139
00:05:27.360 --> 00:05:28.519
<v Speaker 2>Front both sides of the football.

140
00:05:28.519 --> 00:05:30.120
<v Speaker 1>Well, you know, a lot of new guys, but they've

141
00:05:30.120 --> 00:05:34.040
<v Speaker 1>done well. You know, Ben Morowski's played a lot of football.

142
00:05:34.040 --> 00:05:35.920
<v Speaker 1>He's just been injured. He's been able to still stay

143
00:05:35.959 --> 00:05:38.399
<v Speaker 1>healthy this camp. West Hose played a lot of football

144
00:05:38.439 --> 00:05:41.000
<v Speaker 1>f here and it else elsewhere. So when you have

145
00:05:41.040 --> 00:05:42.720
<v Speaker 1>that guy in the middle that a lot of the

146
00:05:42.720 --> 00:05:46.160
<v Speaker 1>communication flows through, you can have that cohesiveness you need

147
00:05:46.199 --> 00:05:48.680
<v Speaker 1>in the offensive line. I like the way Carson has played.

148
00:05:48.720 --> 00:05:50.720
<v Speaker 1>You know, Carson's got a lot of snaps here as well.

149
00:05:52.120 --> 00:05:54.519
<v Speaker 1>I think bringing in ty Chan from Notre Dame, you know,

150
00:05:54.560 --> 00:05:56.399
<v Speaker 1>he's fitting at the right guard spot and he's done

151
00:05:56.439 --> 00:05:59.199
<v Speaker 1>really well. Kyle Jurgen's played a lot last year. He's

152
00:05:59.199 --> 00:06:00.800
<v Speaker 1>playing at left guard. And then I think we've got

153
00:06:00.839 --> 00:06:02.759
<v Speaker 1>a lot of a lot of depth. You know, it's

154
00:06:02.800 --> 00:06:05.759
<v Speaker 1>not necessarily proven, but what we've seen out here is encouraging.

155
00:06:06.720 --> 00:06:08.480
<v Speaker 3>You mentioned some guys have been dinged up, you know,

156
00:06:08.680 --> 00:06:12.920
<v Speaker 3>just usual camp stuff. Is the expectation that everyone's available CCSU.

157
00:06:13.519 --> 00:06:16.160
<v Speaker 2>Uh that's the hope. Yeah, I don't know, Yeah, that's

158
00:06:16.199 --> 00:06:16.800
<v Speaker 2>the hope. I mean it.

159
00:06:17.439 --> 00:06:21.360
<v Speaker 1>I I we're trending towards, you know, most everybody being

160
00:06:21.480 --> 00:06:22.480
<v Speaker 1>available right now.

161
00:06:22.519 --> 00:06:24.079
<v Speaker 2>It's just a you know, it's important.

162
00:06:23.759 --> 00:06:26.600
<v Speaker 1>That we still get great practice in we maintain the

163
00:06:26.680 --> 00:06:28.079
<v Speaker 1>level of physicality.

164
00:06:28.279 --> 00:06:29.360
<v Speaker 2>Uh, but we.

165
00:06:29.439 --> 00:06:31.199
<v Speaker 1>Work hard to stay healthy, you know, and one of

166
00:06:31.240 --> 00:06:32.560
<v Speaker 1>the ways you do that is you stay on your

167
00:06:32.600 --> 00:06:34.959
<v Speaker 1>feet and you're still physical. You know, guys get on

168
00:06:34.959 --> 00:06:37.639
<v Speaker 1>the ground to get hurt. So just I think our

169
00:06:37.680 --> 00:06:40.879
<v Speaker 1>teams learned how to practice hard, tough, physical.

170
00:06:40.879 --> 00:06:43.120
<v Speaker 2>Fast, and still kind of take care of each other.

171
00:06:43.240 --> 00:06:44.720
<v Speaker 2>That's what I feel at least.

172
00:06:45.319 --> 00:06:47.160
<v Speaker 3>Are you happy with the progress of camp the goals

173
00:06:47.160 --> 00:06:47.519
<v Speaker 3>you said?

174
00:06:48.759 --> 00:06:49.399
<v Speaker 2>I'm happy?

175
00:06:49.600 --> 00:06:53.600
<v Speaker 1>Uh, I mean I'm pleased, not satisfied. I love the

176
00:06:53.600 --> 00:06:56.000
<v Speaker 1>way they're working, and I think that their intent on

177
00:06:56.120 --> 00:07:01.120
<v Speaker 1>getting you know, uh to a certain point where you know,

178
00:07:01.199 --> 00:07:04.839
<v Speaker 1>we can go out on Saturdays and compete with anybody.

179
00:07:05.199 --> 00:07:07.279
<v Speaker 1>You know, I feel that that team that's important to

180
00:07:07.279 --> 00:07:08.000
<v Speaker 1>this team to do that.

181
00:07:08.720 --> 00:07:10.600
<v Speaker 5>Are you able to tell about your defense?

182
00:07:10.680 --> 00:07:10.959
<v Speaker 2>Yet?

183
00:07:11.319 --> 00:07:13.720
<v Speaker 5>Where do you have to get in a real game

184
00:07:13.759 --> 00:07:17.959
<v Speaker 5>to understand that they've learned the cohesion necessary for well?

185
00:07:18.199 --> 00:07:20.040
<v Speaker 1>I think I think it's gonna take a game, I

186
00:07:20.079 --> 00:07:21.480
<v Speaker 1>really do, you know. I'd like to be able to

187
00:07:21.480 --> 00:07:23.720
<v Speaker 1>sit here and say, yeah, I know what they're all about,

188
00:07:23.759 --> 00:07:26.399
<v Speaker 1>but there's so many new guys that I don't you know,

189
00:07:26.759 --> 00:07:30.120
<v Speaker 1>and games always reveal things, both you know, positive and

190
00:07:30.560 --> 00:07:33.600
<v Speaker 1>negative things you have to work on. So I would say, Mike,

191
00:07:34.120 --> 00:07:35.800
<v Speaker 1>we need to we need to play a game. You

192
00:07:35.839 --> 00:07:39.240
<v Speaker 1>know where it's the intensity and you're seeing unscattered looks

193
00:07:39.240 --> 00:07:40.959
<v Speaker 1>that you have to adjust to, and the communication is

194
00:07:41.000 --> 00:07:43.360
<v Speaker 1>so important and you're you know, you're tackling guys that

195
00:07:43.439 --> 00:07:45.639
<v Speaker 1>have different color jerseys and helmets on. Then you do

196
00:07:45.720 --> 00:07:47.759
<v Speaker 1>it which is you know, you're not in the locker

197
00:07:47.839 --> 00:07:49.279
<v Speaker 1>room next year, in the weight room and the meal

198
00:07:49.360 --> 00:07:52.000
<v Speaker 1>room every day. So there's just a different level intensity.

199
00:07:52.040 --> 00:07:53.079
<v Speaker 1>And so let's see how we.

200
00:07:53.079 --> 00:07:56.240
<v Speaker 5>React behind Louis and Alex at tight end.

201
00:07:57.319 --> 00:07:59.319
<v Speaker 2>Who else should we know about?

202
00:07:59.360 --> 00:08:01.759
<v Speaker 5>What's the scouting report on the depth behind those two guys?

203
00:08:02.480 --> 00:08:05.360
<v Speaker 1>Well tight end and you know we kind of we

204
00:08:05.519 --> 00:08:09.120
<v Speaker 1>we play with really two different tight end type bodies.

205
00:08:09.160 --> 00:08:12.800
<v Speaker 1>So you got you got Alex and notter are are

206
00:08:12.879 --> 00:08:16.920
<v Speaker 1>tight ends. And then like our our fs, you know,

207
00:08:17.000 --> 00:08:20.319
<v Speaker 1>kind of move guys. You've got lou You've got Juice,

208
00:08:20.759 --> 00:08:23.519
<v Speaker 1>You've got uh, you know, a guy like Michael Burton,

209
00:08:23.759 --> 00:08:28.720
<v Speaker 1>Xavier Watson, and then you've got the tweeners like Dom Toy.

210
00:08:28.759 --> 00:08:29.680
<v Speaker 2>You can kind of do bowl.

211
00:08:30.399 --> 00:08:33.559
<v Speaker 1>We have a really heavy and deep tight end room

212
00:08:33.919 --> 00:08:36.519
<v Speaker 1>and we're gonna utilize.

213
00:08:36.159 --> 00:08:36.799
<v Speaker 2>All those guys.

214
00:08:36.799 --> 00:08:40.320
<v Speaker 1>They all bring something a little bit different to the

215
00:08:40.399 --> 00:08:43.320
<v Speaker 1>game and being creative and the way we use them,

216
00:08:43.639 --> 00:08:45.840
<v Speaker 1>use them is really important because it creates problems for

217
00:08:45.879 --> 00:08:49.080
<v Speaker 1>the defense. You know, I think tight ends are matchup problems.

218
00:08:49.080 --> 00:08:50.279
<v Speaker 1>So we have a lot of good ones.

219
00:08:50.799 --> 00:08:52.879
<v Speaker 5>Are you able to see the influence of your new

220
00:08:52.960 --> 00:08:55.080
<v Speaker 5>QB coach yet Price Tracy.

221
00:08:55.000 --> 00:08:56.320
<v Speaker 2>And what is uh?

222
00:08:56.440 --> 00:08:58.159
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean he's you know, he's been some really

223
00:08:58.159 --> 00:09:00.159
<v Speaker 1>good places with some really good people, you know. I

224
00:09:00.200 --> 00:09:02.559
<v Speaker 1>mean he's been at Notre Dame, he's been at Alabama,

225
00:09:02.639 --> 00:09:05.240
<v Speaker 1>he's been at Georgia, He's been around winning programs and

226
00:09:05.480 --> 00:09:10.679
<v Speaker 1>uh uh he is an really intense guy that this

227
00:09:10.840 --> 00:09:14.039
<v Speaker 1>is very important too. And he's very detailed, He's very demanding.

228
00:09:14.759 --> 00:09:17.919
<v Speaker 1>He knows what he's talking about. He brings good conceptual

229
00:09:17.960 --> 00:09:22.919
<v Speaker 1>ideas to our scheme. Uh I I I he keeps

230
00:09:23.039 --> 00:09:25.639
<v Speaker 1>he holds the players to a high level of accountability.

231
00:09:25.720 --> 00:09:27.840
<v Speaker 1>And yet I think they really they really like him,

232
00:09:27.840 --> 00:09:30.720
<v Speaker 1>you know, cause they know they can trust him. But

233
00:09:30.799 --> 00:09:33.080
<v Speaker 1>now I'm I'm I'm really happy that that he's a

234
00:09:33.080 --> 00:09:33.879
<v Speaker 1>part of this staff.

235
00:09:35.639 --> 00:09:37.840
<v Speaker 3>Any good players and last year you actually had a

236
00:09:37.840 --> 00:09:39.720
<v Speaker 3>ton of experience and a lot of depth on the

237
00:09:39.799 --> 00:09:41.720
<v Speaker 3>d line. He gets to able to rotate guys in

238
00:09:41.759 --> 00:09:44.200
<v Speaker 3>anything like that. Do you see enough this year that

239
00:09:44.399 --> 00:09:46.720
<v Speaker 3>maybe that could happen again, that these guys can hold

240
00:09:46.759 --> 00:09:47.519
<v Speaker 3>up to that standard.

241
00:09:48.039 --> 00:09:48.360
<v Speaker 2>I hope.

242
00:09:48.399 --> 00:09:51.039
<v Speaker 1>So it's kind of like, you know, to same answers

243
00:09:51.080 --> 00:09:52.240
<v Speaker 1>Mike's questions.

244
00:09:51.879 --> 00:09:54.919
<v Speaker 2>Like we'll see, you know, we'll see as we.

245
00:09:54.840 --> 00:09:57.720
<v Speaker 1>Go, but you know, you'd expect guys like like, uh,

246
00:09:57.720 --> 00:09:59.399
<v Speaker 1>Matt Hoffman, I think you guys are talking to him,

247
00:09:59.480 --> 00:10:00.799
<v Speaker 1>but Brian or.

248
00:10:02.600 --> 00:10:03.320
<v Speaker 2>Cleto troll.

249
00:10:03.480 --> 00:10:05.639
<v Speaker 1>You know, it's like time for those guys to take

250
00:10:05.679 --> 00:10:09.039
<v Speaker 1>that step from kind of some late game action into

251
00:10:09.039 --> 00:10:11.799
<v Speaker 1>some real action. And if they can do that, then

252
00:10:11.840 --> 00:10:13.519
<v Speaker 1>I think we've got a nice group there, you know,

253
00:10:13.559 --> 00:10:15.759
<v Speaker 1>cause I think we've got some good starters and some

254
00:10:15.799 --> 00:10:17.960
<v Speaker 1>guys that are proven, but some of those unproven guys

255
00:10:18.000 --> 00:10:20.039
<v Speaker 1>on game day have to take a step up. And

256
00:10:20.080 --> 00:10:21.879
<v Speaker 1>the indications are from what we've seen.

257
00:10:21.679 --> 00:10:24.000
<v Speaker 2>In practice, is they're ready to do that, but they

258
00:10:24.080 --> 00:10:24.759
<v Speaker 2>got to go do it.

259
00:10:24.720 --> 00:10:27.080
<v Speaker 1>On the field against an opponent that's not wearing the

260
00:10:27.080 --> 00:10:30.720
<v Speaker 1>same helmet as them. Appreciate you
