Huskies wide receivers coach shares his thoughts on approach to coaching and overall assessment of the room in spring camp.
Transcript
00:00 >> You guys seem to be very involved with the drills, not just pointing and
00:02 directing.
00:03 Is that- >> Yeah, that's the focus.
00:05 We wanna be out there, we wanna show them how to do it.
00:07 We wanna be able to explain things rather than just talking,
00:09 cuz these guys see by doing.
00:11 So if they see us do it, they see the coaches in different spots,
00:14 we're giving them looks on defense.
00:15 They learn best by seeing, so we try to do as much as we can.
00:19 >> The Huskies arguably had the best receiving core, one of the best last year.
00:23 What do you think the potential is for the guys here?
00:26 >> No, I think it's great.
00:26 There's a standard, and
00:28 these guys understand what the standard is of receiver play over here.
00:31 And we've been able to produce some really good receivers.
00:34 Coach Fish and his offense have been able to do it.
00:36 So these guys have seen it, they know what it looks like.
00:39 They've got a great work ethic because of what they've seen from these older guys.
00:43 We talk about it all the time in our room.
00:44 We've watched a lot of their stuff and what they did.
00:47 And so these guys know that there's a standard of receiver play here and
00:50 they're ready to go.
00:51 >> So what was your assessment of the room when you came in,
00:52 when you got the job halfway through spring?
00:55 Has anything been different?
00:56 Because obviously Denzel, I have to imagine, surprised you a little bit.
00:58 >> Right, well, a lot of these guys, we all recruited.
01:00 And so we've known them.
01:03 We recruited Denzel, I recruited Giles.
01:05 I've actually known Giles since my time over at San Jose State,
01:09 being from that area.
01:11 And so we knew a lot about these guys and what they could do.
01:14 But obviously, once you see them on the field, all of them, from the bottom up,
01:18 from the youngest guy to the oldest guy, they've been really impressive so far.
