00:00 All right, I thought today was really good workday. I was really proud of the guys. I thought they came out, you know competed fast
00:05 You know on Tuesday's first day of implementing some of the things that we're looking to do schematically
00:11 You try to show a variety of different looks but I mean, I really like their guys mindset today
00:16 We got a lot of a lot of good on good work, you know going against each other
00:20 I thought the speed was was good. I thought you saw some guys, you know, really responding from areas
00:27 We talked about needing to to improve in and overall. I thought it was a really good day
00:32 So we got to build upon that as the week goes, you know tomorrow, you know getting
00:37 More situational football with third down situations, you know, well two minute and all that but you know for for our first day
00:45 You know kind of base install. I thought it was that was good
00:47 It's a lot it's a lot of a lot of guys, you know, and it's you know
00:56 Whatever you put on whatever you put on film from from Saturday
00:59 You know you get a chance to go get better and you know
01:02 I thought you had an exceptional day today and he was he was great and what he did, you know his execution finishing plays
01:08 You know, but it's not shocking to me. But you know when you have guys that you have guys that embrace improvement
01:15 Yeah, that's what you want to see
01:17 He's not a lot of guys that you know, we're taking the finer details of hey, we need to see this step
01:22 We need to see this communication
01:23 I thought was one of the better defensive walkthroughs that we've had, you know before practice today, you know, cuz then it's emphasizing communication
01:29 But when you see that ownership, but that's that's that's exciting and you know, we've had some guys that are really
01:34 You know that they are you know, just taking taking hold of those opportunities
01:42 Going back. I didn't mention this yesterday, but like I told Jared I thought Jared
01:48 In Saturday's game was much better than what he was in the first game and you know, obviously he was
01:53 Pretty good in the first one, but there's still a few things just technique wise that you know
01:57 It's just finer details and you know
02:00 I don't know if it resulted into more plays on Saturday
02:03 We were better defensively because of it and it was awesome watching him play. I thought he had a really good game Saturday night
02:09 And just but that's that's an example there because you can do it
02:13 It's easy for everybody get caught up on on you know, the 75 80 90 percent of the plays that you do, right?
02:19 but if the 10% are
02:21 Detrimental then we got to get better at that
02:22 And so and that's where when you see great players not good players great players take ownership ownership for improvement
02:29 Then you got a chance to really do some great things and that's what I thought I saw
02:34 People have like rain days or wet ball days
02:38 Yeah, no, I mean it's just say some prayers and hopefully get some some opportunities for it, but it's not
02:50 When does that wind is that she is always a challenge when you?
02:53 You know quarterbacks that can throw the ball, you know, Chris. I mean, you know, and obviously our quarterbacks can I mean it definitely helps
03:01 it helps in those situations, but
03:03 You know, we we're doing all that we can you know, even even today we had a couple of wet ball
03:08 Opportunities in our route drills and you know, because those are the things that you can that you can't control
03:14 some of the
03:17 Defensive linemen that have been guys kind of know we keep their rep accounts pretty low
03:21 Do those guys are they cool with that or they rather be out?
03:24 Are they like everybody I mean everybody wants to play but it's under I mean it there's also an understanding
03:30 That you know, we want those guys every play they play we want an elite level
03:34 Chasing the ball everything that we're doing physicality, you know, and when you have good players you can do that
03:39 I did offseason study looking at the past three or four national champions and
03:45 There's only one defensive lineman on those teams that played over 50% of the snaps defensively and you saw that
03:53 You mean you saw a lot of guys that are in it between that 30 40, you know, 45 percent
04:00 And but it shows depth shows quality and you know
04:03 There's a lot of first-round draft picks that came from that and I think our guys that was something we talked about
04:09 You know, I talked to you to a lot of them. I said, man, you go play and you play a beat
04:14 every play that you get and the fact now if
04:17 We don't have
04:19 Somebody's not going to be able to go out there and play to that elite level
04:23 Then they probably won't find themselves on the field and some of the other guys might have to play more snaps
04:28 But but I just I like our depth. I like that where we are and
04:32 You know continuing to see those guys, but yeah, everybody wants everybody wants to play more now coming off Saturday. I mean it was
04:38 It was good. I'm having you know, 15 20 plays is what it was for a bunch of them and you know
04:44 Should carry over and I saw some fresh legs on the sprints get into practice, too
04:51 Is there anything about Kevin's game you think that that's allowed him to transition to playing safety so
04:56 I mean, it's his game. I mean it sees versatility. I mean, it's a
05:00 Great, you know, I've started at nickel last couple years, you know as he's grown in size and strength. I think that you know, he's just
05:08 It's a great playmaker and I think that that you the fact of how smart he is
05:13 It also allows him him and he could literally play any of the five positions in the defensive backfield
05:18 But we have an opportunity at safety that I think really suits him. Well
05:22 and you know, it was a
05:25 Something that did not in offseason and we knew that that could that could be a really really good situation
05:30 And I'm glad that I just take into it as well as I thought
05:33 Thanks coach
