Transcript
00:00It's all right, we'll find it.
00:01How's the first week of camp been for you guys?
00:05It's been great.
00:06The guys are out here, they're working extremely, extremely hard.
00:09We're getting a lot of work in.
00:10The offense is competing, the defense is competing.
00:13And yeah, it's been a lot of great work.
00:15Peyton Waters is getting a lot of work for a true freshman out there.
00:17Obviously, he was lucky in the spring, but
00:19what have you really liked about him so far in camp?
00:21I've liked how he's gotten better every single day, and
00:24that he's trying and learning from his mistakes.
00:27He doesn't make a lot of repeat errors.
00:28He continues to progress.
00:31Yeah, he's done a great job throughout camp so far.
00:35I'm proud of him and happy with how he's come forward.
00:37What were you guys looking for
00:39when you went to the portal for a camp restart and Justin Harris?
00:43Guys that fit this system and that are able to come in and
00:45help contribute to a team.
00:47Guys that have great characters and
00:49have the same values and principles that this organization has.
00:54How do you balance the depth and rotation?
00:56Knowing you want to get some guys familiarity playing in tandem.
00:59How do you balance the depth and tandem, getting guys to play together, but
01:02also still kind of testing out the depth because you have a lot of guys in that room.
01:05You know, that's the beautiful thing about camp is you get guys working with
01:09different groups, you get guys working with different people.
01:11But the same communication, the same understanding,
01:14the same calls need to be made no matter who you're in the game with.
01:18So it teaches them that they have to communicate with everybody on the football
01:21field, it doesn't matter who they're with in any situation.
01:24Communication should happen on every play.
01:26At this point, a lot of the starters are kind of emerging in different position
01:30groups, but your guys have all seemed a little dinged up a little bit, and so
01:34they're really interchangeable.
01:35So it's almost like your crew is as unsettled as any right now as far as
01:39a pecking order, would that be fair to say?
01:42You know, we got a lot of good guys, a lot of good football players.
01:45There are no starters on this football team right now until Coach Fitch makes
01:50that decision, and right now we're just going out there, we're getting great work.
01:54Everybody's getting great opportunities to go out there and
01:56compete every single day.
