Transcript
00:00 When you were talking to the guys, did you get a sense from them that they are eager to get back?
00:07 Just to kind of get that taste out of their mouth, that it's kind of ended and turned the page on that?
00:12 Yeah, I think so. They need a break. That's kind of the process now.
00:19 But when you talk to them, they seem very eager to ask good questions.
00:22 What are we going to be about? And things like that.
00:24 You're kind of gearing the conversation more towards the relationship part.
00:28 Really breaking the ice and getting to know them, the football exes and all that stuff.
00:32 Which we'll have plenty of time to get to once OTAs and the guys come back around and things like that.
00:37 So, don't want to start with that. We have plenty of time for that later.
00:43 It's more getting the families and things like that, where they're from.
00:47 Talking to them and really getting to know each other.
00:51 I know you were mostly focusing on their offense, but what did you kind of learn just leading up to when you guys faced them last year?
00:57 You were really about this team, some of the guys that they have.
00:59 Yeah, we'll start with the quarterback, right? He has a really good football player.
01:03 Big, athletic. He can make all the throws. He runs well. Physical offense and line.
01:07 Skill in his receiver position. Tyrant runs well.
01:10 Heck of a back now. A couple of backs.
01:13 So when you put it all together, as we were looking, that's one of the pieces.
01:18 Why we wanted to come down here and be a part of this is they've got some talent over there.
01:22 It's the players. Like we were talking about earlier, let's just give them the ball back as many times as we can.
01:28 You mentioned teaching. Wanted to put them together. Your staff doesn't want to do that.
