00:00 >> They got a really good quarterback, super accurate,
00:04 puts the ball where it needs to be.
00:07 And he does make a lot of mistakes.
00:09 They got dynamic receivers that go up and get the ball.
00:12 Also physical yards after contact and really explosive running backs
00:18 that definitely break a lot of tackles and force a lot of missed tackles.
00:24 So on the defensive side of the ball, I think in order to be successful,
00:27 really gotta tackle really well, be physical at the point of contact,
00:32 get off blocks, and just win 50-50s.
00:35 We know they're gonna take shots, so we just gotta win our one-on-ones
00:40 on the outside, and then tackle well in between the tackles, and
00:44 I think we'll be pretty successful.
00:46 I think he's a really good athlete and
00:49 probably a better athlete than some people may give him credit for.
00:52 He definitely forces a lot of missed tackles himself,
00:57 just trying to keep plays alive.
00:59 And he does a good job of that.
01:00 The receivers do a good job of just getting open when they see he's in trouble.
01:04 So that's definitely been a point of emphasis, scramble drill,
01:07 just locking onto our defenders once you realize, all right,
01:11 the quarterback is running, cuz he's gonna keep plays alive with his feet.
01:14 And he has the arm to get it to anywhere on the field.
01:17 So that's definitely been a point of emphasis,
01:18 just being good in the scramble drill.
01:21 I think they're developing really well.
01:25 A lot of different circumstances, obviously, but
01:30 they're doing really well, and the older guys, we're doing a good job just making
01:34 sure they understand expectations and they're getting a grasp of the playbook,
01:41 for sure, I think we're doing a good job and
01:45 they're developing really well and really fast at this point.
