00:00 Very good. I thought today was a really good practice. You know guys very energetic. I thought we had a great spirit
00:06 Competitiveness throughout the course of the drills good physicality
00:10 You know as you get to the first day kind of implementing the other things in the game plan
00:15 You know, I thought that it was you know, really well done
00:19 There were some mistakes that were made things that we got to clean up things that we got to continue to
00:23 To build upon as we go through the week, but I thought our guys approach was right
00:28 Which you know not shocking to me, you know this week is
00:32 This isn't everything week and so, you know, I was proud of our players for their mindset and approach
00:38 It was definitely felt it in meetings this morning for a minute. They walked in the door
00:41 They had a purpose to come work and be better. I thought we did a good job. I thought
00:46 Quarterbacks did did a good really good job today. We know that you know coming into it, you know your tape
00:53 it's a little different role for him as
00:57 What he gets to do and how he gets to do it
01:00 But you know the mindset and approach is no is no different than what he's done throughout the course of the season
01:04 You had a couple plays that you know, we'll continue to improve upon but I thought you know through the ball really well
01:09 made made really good decisions for the most part and
01:12 Puts himself in a good position for where we are as we go through the rest of the week
01:16 All right, see yes, okay last question
01:23 I
01:25 Mean it you know you
01:31 There's earth. I mean, you know you say urgency you always want it. I mean, it's it's always like the push the standard expectation
01:37 Sometimes I need to encourage more and
01:41 You know, I came in the door today and it was
01:46 They weren't need a whole lot of my encouragement, you know, you know in the meeting room
01:50 They were they were ready to go. It was he felt it. He felt the energy and we're gonna push the standard
01:55 We're all gonna be held accountable to it, but I thought the guys did a nice job with that today
01:59 How much does it help that on you know?
02:01 You have had brought him if you're getting in there and going to Coleman Wilson and some other receivers
02:05 That's why we do practice the way we practice
02:08 I mean, there's you know, there's a lot of places that you know
02:10 they only focus on a group or you know a certain number of players and you never know in this game and you know, we
02:18 Taste been he's been working. You know, he's got plenty of work with the ones throughout the
02:22 drought the fall
02:24 you know and there's obviously things that you know, you've got to you've got to have looks at and things that you got to make
02:29 sure that the
02:30 The consistency the timing but you know that you could see I mean today the timing the rhythm, you know all those things
02:37 there's not a
02:38 They've got a really good good feel for each other. So it was
02:41 Really good
02:43 I was stupid. It was a stupid catch
02:50 Yeah, I would actually I told him two hands
03:07 There's there are the instant reactionary moments that that sometimes
03:13 It'll show up, but I want to fight for two
03:16 Because ultimately I mean if you have an opportunity to get to then go get to and I'm in practice
03:23 I mean you guys over the last four years. I don't know many times. I've probably said that but you know, it's
03:27 Even on the great one hand catches, you know, it's like but you get to we don't want tip passes
03:33 We don't want to give guys other opportunities now if there's a reactionary moment that balls is on you
03:37 And that's what happens catch it. But you know if we can't get the second up when let's get the second up
03:43 How much I'm improving everything from you know, do you said a pretty good practice? I'm still proving you've seen from him
03:48 I thought do said did have a good day, you know, he's been battling. Yes some things
03:51 You know just as working his butt off to be available on game day
03:55 But you know, I think he's starting to feel better and you know got some good work
03:59 I thought our receivers in as a whole, you know, really had a good day Kentron that you know made a couple really nice plays
04:06 You know Chaka. I mean it was
04:08 It's a good day for them. Have you guys played anybody that will bring extra bodies pressure?
04:13 Flitzing like Florida doesn't sense five six seven guys
04:16 No, I mean they definitely gonna bring on they're gonna they're gonna bring it from everywhere and you know, but we have faced quite a few
04:24 Teams, especially, you know here, you know, there's pit, you know, you know, obviously
04:28 Our last round of our game. There was a lot of pressure that we showed up. So, you know, it's
04:35 And it's a it's unique to them. But you know, absolutely we faced a lot of it
04:39 Well, it's you know, ultimately I mean he's he's been earning trust the last four years I mean it doesn't
04:54 Your position doesn't dictate whether somebody trust you or not like I mean whether you whether you're a graduate assistant head coach
05:03 You know first-string quarterback last-string quarterback, you know
05:06 It doesn't matter what your role is you earn trust and it's my job to earn our players trust every day when you do that
05:12 There's action and you know
05:14 Because just because you have a position doesn't doesn't guarantee you anything
05:17 So I think state has earned trust throughout the last four years because of how he shows up what he does
05:23 Yes, it does. It doesn't help that when he's that opportunity that he shows that preparation and how he executes
05:30 Absolutely today. I think he earned even more trust just because he just continued
05:34 It's a daily process and because the trust of the hardest thing in the world to ever earn and to gain but you know
05:40 It's also something that's pretty easy to lose. And so you don't
05:43 You have to be aware of that and you have got to obviously bring your best and all opportunities
05:48 And I think tates a guy that definitely does that obviously a lot of focus on tates increase role, but how is Brock?
05:55 About Brock had a really good day today - I mean, I you know, I'm excited about yeah
05:59 And I'll say this, you know Brock was was unavailable for a good part of this year
06:04 And you know, even you know, that's that's a that's an example. I'm a true freshman
06:08 What is that? Where what's that gonna look like for the rest of the season?
06:11 But he was meetings whether he could practice or not
06:15 I mean it was all the ten all attention the details the
06:19 Understanding and then when he was able to get back to practice you saw a better version which you know
06:25 That's that's what you you don't let the physical limitations
06:28 You know keep you from where you're ultimately able to get to and you know, I think Brock's done a nice job with that
06:33 Like I said, he was very comfortable today
06:36 You know had a few plays that you know, you'd like to that we're gonna be able to learn from but you know
06:41 I thought it was I thought it was a really good
06:43 Opportunity for him to show that the growth that he's had from everybody's around
06:49 Is there the numbers haven't been great lately, but what challenges do that scheme?
06:52 You know, I think it's just a multiplicity of what they what they do
06:57 I mean there you're gonna see a lot of different variations in coverage whether they're rolling coverage of the field boundary blitzes
07:04 You know two man, you know straight man, but then you know quite a few
07:10 Variations and just the difference zone coverages and pressure packages. So just make sure you play with your eyes trust your eyes, you know
07:17 You know the details in spacing the details and winning one-on-ones. I mean all those things are going to matter
07:23 you got a couple of experienced corners that I think are good players that
07:27 You know present some challenges, but you know, ultimately I mean we just got to go out there and we got to play
07:32 >> All right, thanks guys, have a great day.
