00:00 - Hey Kevin, I know you mentioned Ty Chandler last night.
00:03 Just when you watched the tape on him
00:06 and just I guess see him in practice and in games,
00:08 what makes him so effective with the football in his hands?
00:11 And does it look different when he takes the ball
00:13 as opposed to when other players do?
00:15 - Well, I think it's pretty obvious to see his burst,
00:20 his athleticism.
00:22 He's an exciting player with the ball in his hands.
00:25 We try to find different ways to get it in his hands
00:29 throughout the game.
00:30 He does play a critical role right now on our offense
00:34 to be a featured player.
00:38 We're continuing to add to his workload every single week
00:41 'cause he's earned those opportunities.
00:43 And I feel great about where Ty's at
00:46 just in year two of his career,
00:47 the progression from when we brought him in
00:49 as a rookie last year to now.
00:51 You know, I'm excited about his long-term future,
00:55 but I'm also excited about his opportunities
00:58 coming up Monday night and how he can impact the game
01:02 and continue to be in a time where we've been without Justin
01:07 and we've been without Kirk now for a few weeks.
01:11 We're trying to maximize our offensive personnel
01:14 as much as we can, give those guys chances to go out there
01:17 and do what they do well,
01:18 keep them fresh by using the depth that we do have.
01:21 And then just what different ways
01:24 can we activate certain players?
01:25 And Ty's definitely one of those.
01:28 While still searching for that consistency
01:31 on all three downs, whether it's throwing him the ball,
01:34 handing him the ball and watching him do his thing.
01:37 And then the blitz pickup that's very critical
01:41 throughout the regular phases of our offense
01:43 where we're trying to be multi-dimensional
01:47 to move the football.
01:49 And ultimately it's about Josh Dobbs
01:53 and how we can make him as comfortable as possible
01:56 in a short amount of time
01:57 and really activating all of our skill players
02:00 to help do that.
