00:00Hey, it's not Beaverton, man, it's Port Valley.
00:01Beaverton's fun, what's going on, guys, how we doing?
00:07How you guys doing?
00:08How do you feel the receiver room is coming along?
00:11It's like Denzel, Rashid's been able to start to do some things.
00:13Just kind of how are you assessing the room week plus in the camp?
00:16Yeah, I think everybody's starting to really figure out our offense.
00:19I think it's where it all starts.
00:20When you're trying to figure out the playbook,
00:21trying to figure out the new stuff we're putting in, you play a little slower.
00:25So I think now they feel real confident with what we're doing offensively.
00:28So you start to see them like their real personalities come out, right?
00:30Having fun out there, competing, and making plays.
00:34So that's been the biggest thing is now they're comfortable with what we're doing.
00:37So now you get to see the true talent.
00:39What was the message to the guys after kind of a tough scrimmage offensively
00:42on Saturday?
00:43Yeah, there's a couple different things with that.
00:45When you go third, you kind of don't see some of those tackles that we would hope
00:49that would be broken in a live scrimmage.
00:52And so, but the thing for us is just making sure we are assignment sound.
00:56That we're communicating with the quarterbacks.
00:58Quarterbacks are communicating with us on how we're supposed to be running each
01:01route, where they see us fitting in on this certain play.
01:04And being where we're supposed to be are the biggest things.
01:06The thing I loved about the scrimmage was the physicality we played with.
01:09There was some big time blocks.
01:11There was some big time plays towards the end of the scrimmage where we're breaking
01:14tackles and doing things like that.
01:15So the huge positive from that scrimmage was the physicality we played with.
01:19But what we gotta continue to do is being in the right spot and making plays.
01:23And that's what we're trying to do.
01:24That's what we're trying to do.
01:25That's what we're trying to do.
