Speaker 1 (00:03):
Afternoon. Oh good you out there?
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Do you like what you see out there?
Speaker 1 (00:09):
Oh? Yeah, a lot of hard work, you know, learning
a new scheme is different coming in and just happened
about two hours to meet and then go out and practice.
But those guys run around. Well did you ever know
Tomlin like he left an no update yet? How what
was your first impression of seeing Desmond Watson in person?
I mean, I've seen him before. He he looks just
(00:30):
as impressive before as he does now. So you know,
he's a huge man. He's got a lot of size.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
Would you an interception from Jacob Parrish?
Speaker 1 (00:38):
It's got a good pick. Good to see him do
some things again his T shirt and shorts. But it's
good to see him make a first impression out of.
Speaker 4 (00:45):
The of the undrafted guys, not necessarily even from what
you saw today, but just who they are and the
need you have of other guys from that group that
you're uh most interested to to see more of.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
But moving forward, I am. I mean there's quite a
few of 'em, actually, but I think we gotta wait
till we get in passed before we take a r
good look at him. Today was just the first part
of them getting used to the scheme on both sides
of the football. I want to see a little bit
more tomorrow as they get comfortable and just see them
let their hair down a little bit and play.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
We'll have to handle everyone handled the heat pretty well.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
We'll see what happens when I go in here and
see this training room list. I saw a few at
the end that it could be some casualties involved in this.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
Can you appreciate it?
Speaker 3 (01:24):
You know some of these guys, it's it's their NFL moment.
You know.
Speaker 4 (01:27):
One of your players walked in and he saw all
of us and he was like, oh no, he didn't
you know, he was a little overwhelmed by just the media.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
Do you give them time to get used to Oh
my goodness.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
I'm in the NFL.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
Now they get the plane ride over here and they
get to go in that locker after that, I don't
think you have time to think about it. You know,
it's it's everybody's dream as a young man coming out
of college, and to reach part of it, as far
as getting here is a commendment to all of them.
You know, then we got to see which one stick.
You know, we can't keep everybody unfortunately, so you know,
(01:58):
but it's a big part of their dream and true
and that's good to see. Was good to see Morrison
moving around out there and just how much you guys
have a schedule for how much you will do in
OTAs until you get to camp or it was very
good to see him moving around. I think he's okay.
I just think he has to get in shape now.
So we got to monitor where he is as far
as what kind of program he needs. But I think
he'll be fine. We're really looking forward to having him
(02:20):
in training camp. But if he can come out and
do some things in OTAs, that would be a big bonus.
What do you want to see from Shadows Andrews? What
what would he have to do to to kind of
force his way into that safety picture like the rest
of the safeties. I mean, he's very intelligent, he's very loud.
You can hear him today making calls and everything. So
he got a good grasp of things day one. It
was about three or four of them that did. He
(02:40):
was one of them. But you gotta make plays and paths, obviously.
That's what it comes down to. Knowing what to do
and then doing it consistently and constantly. Getting better every day,
as see the thought.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
I know we're in shorts and T shirts, but go
to see the fastest player in the field today.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
No, it was Parish.
Speaker 4 (03:00):
Uh your offensive line. You bring back all five starters, obviously,
but Hainesy's gone. UH School's gone, so that the backup
jobs are a little bit.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
More for grams.
Speaker 4 (03:08):
Are are there guys out there that they can make
the fifty three on the offensive line right now?
Speaker 1 (03:12):
The guys out there that we think can have a
chance to make the fifty three? Again, offensive linemen are
more judged and pass than in shorts and T shirts.
So all of 'em look good size wise, but offensive
linemen aren't supposed to. And we had lost some experience
from a mental standpoint with uh A School and with Hainsey.
But from a playing standpoint, the client's been coming on
(03:33):
very well, and we'll see what the rest of 'em
have to do once we get in Pats.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
What kind of things do you need to see for
judgment wants.
Speaker 4 (03:38):
And you know to.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
Where you feel like you could you know how they
place on this team, and and when you bring in
a guy that stitch or like just what kind of
goes through your mind? And you people are suggested at all, Well,
that's that's the adope to the that's the to the
Toush push for instance.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
I mean, do you see him as being like a packaged.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Type player for you, Well, they got to make the
team first of all. Right now, we just got to
see how long he can stay on the field and
put him on the program where we think he can
make some progress. I think that's the biggest thing for
us to do right now. We didn't get him and say, hey,
we got to put you on the field right now,
it's hey, we can try to put you on this
program and see what we can come up with and
see if we can get our endurance better and have
(04:18):
him become a better player that way, then kind of
see where he is. So the judge him right now
is very early, and we didn't get him for the
Tush push. We got him because we really thought he
could play. It's just a matter of getting them to
a point where he can play more than two or
three plays are down any.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
Particular body composition goals for him where you feel like
this is a healthy way that he can play at
where he can steal you to wife's strength, but also
you know, keeping him safe out there.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
Our strength staff and nutritions are still working through that
and we're coming up with a plan form that we'll
have for him that go by in the summer and
see how he comes back to training camp and keep
working from there.
Speaker 4 (04:51):
For from what they did walk with pads.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
For, we saw the quickness obviously earlier today and he
was probably the best T shirt and helmet player we
had out there today from that standpoint, but just understanding
the scheme, the terminology is different. He had a lot
of things we're asking him to do differently, So to
see him move around and get comfortable with that, it
would be the important thing for him.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
Tis Johnson, what did you think of your impressions hadn't
seen him on the grass, just.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
His moves or just I mean, he's quick, he's a
quick player. We know he's quick. We know he's fast,
we know he can run routes. We know he's a receiver.
When you when you're that light, you have to be
very quick, and he's very quick. So be interested to
see going forward how he learns more. Kind of a
natural kick returner, he's a natural punt returner. I'm not
sure about a kick returner, but he's a natural punt returner.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
Ticket in by call Wll back.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
He just was how good it is to see him
back in the grass, and also how Charlie Strong is
exactly made himsult to the step. It's been great to
have Callwell back. I mean, he's been with us for
a long time. He's been with me for a long time.
And you know, he yelled out of play to the
backers before it happened today, And I really knew he
was back because he was calling up plays and I
asked him to get a helmet if he's gonna yellow
(06:03):
plays out. But at least I know he hadn't changed much.
So it's been great to see him back. He fits
right in, I mean with George, Larry, Kevin, Nick, Tim
fits all of them. He fits right in with those
guys and Charlie. Charlie's coming every time a player comes in,
I feel like Charlie's coached him because he knows them
(06:24):
all from high school to every college in the country.
So Charlie's kind of like Uncle Remus, so to speak.
And but he's a very good technicians. He has a
very good understanding of the game. He has a very
good relationship to players best I got, Well.
Speaker 4 (06:42):
A team didn't draft him in sideline backer? What do
you make of John Bullock, the guy from Nebraska.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
He's vocal right now, he's vocal. I gotta see more.
But just the first day next to Shallow, he's probably
be one of the more vocal players right there, so
he knows what he's doing. Just got to see more
in him getting comfortable on the system. And it looks
like he'd be a good teams player, so he'd god
to be interested in.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Have you on the Nebraska guys? In an on drafted freegency?
Speaker 1 (07:07):
Huh, I wonder why is that you mentioned Shiloh?
Speaker 3 (07:11):
You have a really unique vantage point because you know,
you have two sons that are entering your domain, and
your domain being the football world. What is that like
when you've obviously had a high degree of success in
the football realm and suddenly your children are entering that space,
right and as a parent, you want to protect them
and you want to be involved, but at the same time,
you know there's that balance between like forging you know,
(07:32):
a path for themselves. I mean, what just is that
like for you as a parent seeing your children, you know,
start to have more and more success in football, and
you know, start to approach this level.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
I think you're always going to be a parent first
and put your kids first. Any parent in the country
you want to see their kids succeed, no matter what.
I mean. I've coached former players kids before, so this
is nothing new. I mean, Diane understands the game. When
we're in Miami with Casey. Casey's son came with us
from Miami, so I've had quite a few players sons
from that standpoint. But as a father, when your sons
(08:06):
try to make it, you're always looking at it as
a father first. As long as their dreams come true
and you get to see them as a parent, that's
really the main thing you want to see. You want
your kids to be better than what you were and
do better than what you were, and that's all you
can hope for. You understand the business from a coaching standpoint.
You understand we have a job to do, and it
kind of goes from there.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
How do you balance the desire to want to be
involved with at the same time you know your professional
obligations and also the fact that you know you're not
the coach of Michigan, for instance, you know, you know, like, how.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Do you how do you kind of balance that.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
I've never gotten involved in my kids sports with coaches
from pee wee ball to high school ball to college ball.
If they have questions, they come home, we'll watch some tape.
But I've never questioned a coach how they do things,
or any player from any university, high school or pee
wee ball. I let them play. I teach them how
to play in the spring. They know what's right and wrong.
(08:58):
They'll ask the right question and they're very supportive. I'm
very supportive of them that way, and I let them play,
and if they're good enough to play, they play. But
you teach them all they need to know. And you
go from Theresa Reddick part of the off season program.
So far, he's been in and out, like a few people.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Talk to all the draft picks reposition coaches, and one
thing that rangs true with all of them obviously their character,
about their tendencies of practicing and preparing. And they said
they all did it already like pros did. Just have
you seen that so far from just the draft picks
that you know, their attention to detail as far as
preparing for this practice, having this short amount of time
and then going over there and putting it out there.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
I think it's a little early for that, and I
think everybody's attendive right now because everybody's bright eyed and
bushy tailed and everything is new. We'll see when the
vets come in and it gets to be an everyday grind,
how they pick up things and how they treat it
from day to day.
Speaker 4 (09:51):
You get that point in the off season where you're
going through the draft, you're going through free to so
you know what you have right now, or are there
any positions on either side of the ball that did
you see his potential spots? You might still try and
sign someone before the start of camp.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
It's possible. I'm not going to say we never will,
but we're always looking right now. If we can add
somebody that adds value to us and then bring something
to the table, we probably will. It's got to fit
all the way around, whether they fit from a team
standpoint and a financial standpoint, So we're always looking. So
I'll never say never with Perish.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
Obviously he does have a site the height disadvantage, but
you saw the leaping ability today.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
On that pick.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
I mean, is the idea to be able to potentially
move him around. Do you like a veteran at a
nickel spot. Can you play outside in a pinch or
are you leaving the door open for things?
Speaker 4 (10:38):
What do you think the plan is for him?
Speaker 1 (10:39):
No, he can't play outside and the pence he can
play outside, he can play outside corner. We'd like gotam
learning nickel. I'm very comfortable with him outside. He can
start corner in this league, probably for anybody, and he
can play inside as well. So that's the beauty of him.
He's not just a nickel. I think he's an outside
corner first and then the nickel seconds. So the fact
that he plays in side is just a bonus for us.
(11:01):
And we have a few guys to play inside, so
it helps us from a matchup standpoint, from a game
plan standpoint, which one could play nickel at which time?
So it keeps a lot of people guessing. Your relationship
with the Marrison family his dad, oh, I mean played
with his dad back in Washington for a year or
(11:22):
two back in the early nineties. I haven't talked to
him much since then, so we don't have much of
a relationship. But we had a great one when we
played together and he texted me after the draft and
we checked when we chatted via text that way. But
we were very close when we were playing together. But
it's been a long time since then. He's changed, I've changed,
and you know it's gone from there. But he was
(11:44):
a heck of a guy and is talking to his son,
you can tell he's a heck of a person too,
and he raised it. He did a heck of a
job raising them, him and his mom. So, you know,
just just a good guy all the way around at Bullhawks.
That's what joke shot rights is that these guys back
to the quarterback where's face, got very good ball skills.
(12:04):
He's got very good awareness, and then that's what that's
what you like about him. He's got very good awareness
and ball skills and compete. So you know, I look
forward to that challenge of him getting out there every
day and seeing they come to fruition.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Play more press with your corners this this season. Hopefully
get home before so you.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
Can do that. We'll see how the health is. Depending
on the scheme. We're looking to play a little more
man and zone from man up front from a press standpoint,
so it'll be mixed up. You never wanna do too
much of one thing because people are gonna get a
beat on that, So you're gonna have to play something
off and have to play some zone.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
How do you think today you wear?
Speaker 1 (12:42):
It was hot, guys ran around, They got a lot
of energy early on. Some of them gotta get used
to the heat. That's really not from the South from
that standpoint. But overall, there was some positive things on tape,
and we just gotta keep building
Afternoon. Oh good you out there?
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Do you like what you see out there?
Speaker 1 (00:09):
Oh? Yeah, a lot of hard work, you know, learning
a new scheme is different coming in and just happened
about two hours to meet and then go out and practice.
But those guys run around. Well did you ever know
Tomlin like he left an no update yet? How what
was your first impression of seeing Desmond Watson in person?
I mean, I've seen him before. He he looks just
(00:30):
as impressive before as he does now. So you know,
he's a huge man. He's got a lot of size.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
Would you an interception from Jacob Parrish?
Speaker 1 (00:38):
It's got a good pick. Good to see him do
some things again his T shirt and shorts. But it's
good to see him make a first impression out of.
Speaker 4 (00:45):
The of the undrafted guys, not necessarily even from what
you saw today, but just who they are and the
need you have of other guys from that group that
you're uh most interested to to see more of.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
But moving forward, I am. I mean there's quite a
few of 'em, actually, but I think we gotta wait
till we get in passed before we take a r
good look at him. Today was just the first part
of them getting used to the scheme on both sides
of the football. I want to see a little bit
more tomorrow as they get comfortable and just see them
let their hair down a little bit and play.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
We'll have to handle everyone handled the heat pretty well.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
We'll see what happens when I go in here and
see this training room list. I saw a few at

Speaker 2 (01:22):
Can you appreciate it?
Speaker 3 (01:24):
You know some of these guys, it's it's their NFL moment.
You know.
Speaker 4 (01:27):
One of your players walked in and he saw all
of us and he was like, oh no, he didn't
you know, he was a little overwhelmed by just the media.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
Do you give them time to get used to Oh
my goodness.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
I'm in the NFL.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
Now they get the plane ride over here and they
get to go in that locker after that, I don't
think you have time to think about it. You know,
it's it's everybody's dream as a young man coming out

Speaker 4 (03:38):
And you know to.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
Where you feel like you could you know how they
place on this team, and and when you bring in
a guy that stitch or like just what kind of
goes through your mind? And you people are suggested at all, Well,
that's that's the adope to the that's the to the

we know he can run routes. We know he's a receiver.
When you when you're that light, you have to be
very quick, and he's very quick. So be interested to
see going forward how he learns more. Kind of a
natural kick returner, he's a natural punt returner. I'm not
sure about a kick returner, but he's a natural punt returner.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
Ticket in by call Wll back.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
He just was how good it is to see him
back in the grass, and also how Charlie Strong is
exactly made himsult to the step. It's been great to
have Callwell back. I mean, he's been with us for
a long time. He's been with me for a long time.
And you know, he yelled out of play to the

So Charlie's kind of like Uncle Remus, so to speak.
And but he's a very good technicians. He has a
very good understanding of the game. He has a very
good relationship to players best I got, Well.
Speaker 4 (06:42):
A team didn't draft him in sideline backer? What do
you make of John Bullock, the guy from Nebraska.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
He's vocal right now, he's vocal. I gotta see more.
But just the first day next to Shallow, he's probably
be one of the more vocal players right there, so
he knows what he's doing. Just got to see more
in him getting comfortable on the system. And it looks
like he'd be a good teams player, so he'd god
to be interested in.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Have you on the Nebraska guys? In an on drafted freegency?
Speaker 1 (07:07):
Huh, I wonder why is that you mentioned Shiloh?
Speaker 3 (07:11):
You have a really unique vantage point because you know,
you have two sons that are entering your domain, and
your domain being the football world. What is that like
when you've obviously had a high degree of success in
the football realm and suddenly your children are entering that space,
right and as a parent, you want to protect them
and you want to be involved, but at the same time,
you know there's that balance between like forging you know,

like for you as a parent seeing your children, you know,
start to have more and more success in football, and
you know, start to approach this level.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
I think you're always going to be a parent first
and put your kids first. Any parent in the country
you want to see their kids succeed, no matter what.
I mean. I've coached former players kids before, so this
is nothing new. I mean, Diane understands the game. When
we're in Miami with Casey. Casey's son came with us
from Miami, so I've had quite a few players sons
from that standpoint. But as a father, when your sons
(08:06):
try to make it, you're always looking at it as
a father first. As long as their dreams come true
and you get to see them as a parent, that's
really the main thing you want to see. You want
your kids to be better than what you were and
do better than what you were, and that's all you
can hope for. You understand the business from a coaching standpoint.
You understand we have a job to do, and it
kind of goes from there.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
How do you balance the desire to want to be
involved with at the same time you know your professional
obligations and also the fact that you know you're not
the coach of Michigan, for instance, you know, you know, like, how.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Do you how do you kind of balance that.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
I've never gotten involved in my kids sports with coaches
from pee wee ball to high school ball to college ball.
If they have questions, they come home, we'll watch some tape.
But I've never questioned a coach how they do things,
or any player from any university, high school or pee
wee ball. I let them play. I teach them how
to play in the spring. They know what's right and wrong.
(08:58):
They'll ask the right question and they're very supportive. I'm
very supportive of them that way, and I let them play,
and if they're good enough to play, they play. But
you teach them all they need to know. And you
go from Theresa Reddick part of the off season program.
So far, he's been in and out, like a few people.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Talk to all the draft picks reposition coaches, and one
thing that rangs true with all of them obviously their character,
about their tendencies of practicing and preparing. And they said
they all did it already like pros did. Just have
you seen that so far from just the draft picks
that you know, their attention to detail as far as
preparing for this practice, having this short amount of time
and then going over there and putting it out there.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
I think it's a little early for that, and I
think everybody's attendive right now because everybody's bright eyed and
bushy tailed and everything is new. We'll see when the
vets come in and it gets to be an everyday grind,
how they pick up things and how they treat it
from day to day.
Speaker 4 (09:51):
You get that point in the off season where you're
going through the draft, you're going through free to so
you know what you have right now, or are there
any positions on either side of the ball that did
you see his potential spots? You might still try and
sign someone before the start of camp.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
It's possible. I'm not going to say we never will,
but we're always looking right now. If we can add
somebody that adds value to us and then bring something
to the table, we probably will. It's got to fit
all the way around, whether they fit from a team
standpoint and a financial standpoint, So we're always looking. So
I'll never say never with Perish.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
Obviously he does have a site the height disadvantage, but
you saw the leaping ability today.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
On that pick.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
I mean, is the idea to be able to potentially
move him around. Do you like a veteran at a
nickel spot. Can you play outside in a pinch or
are you leaving the door open for things?
Speaker 4 (10:38):
What do you think the plan is for him?
Speaker 1 (10:39):
No, he can't play outside and the pence he can
play outside, he can play outside corner. We'd like gotam
learning nickel. I'm very comfortable with him outside. He can
start corner in this league, probably for anybody, and he
can play inside as well. So that's the beauty of him.
He's not just a nickel. I think he's an outside
corner first and then the nickel seconds. So the fact
that he plays in side is just a bonus for us.
(11:01):
And we have a few guys to play inside, so
it helps us from a matchup standpoint, from a game
plan standpoint, which one could play nickel at which time?
So it keeps a lot of people guessing. Your relationship
with the Marrison family his dad, oh, I mean played
with his dad back in Washington for a year or
(11:22):
two back in the early nineties. I haven't talked to
him much since then, so we don't have much of
a relationship. But we had a great one when we
played together and he texted me after the draft and
we checked when we chatted via text that way. But
we were very close when we were playing together. But
it's been a long time since then. He's changed, I've changed,
and you know it's gone from there. But he was
(11:44):
a heck of a guy and is talking to his son,
you can tell he's a heck of a person too,
and he raised it. He did a heck of a
job raising them, him and his mom. So, you know,
just just a good guy all the way around at Bullhawks.
That's what joke shot rights is that these guys back
to the quarterback where's face, got very good ball skills.
(12:04):
He's got very good awareness, and then that's what that's
what you like about him. He's got very good awareness
and ball skills and compete. So you know, I look
forward to that challenge of him getting out there every
day and seeing they come to fruition.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Play more press with your corners this this season. Hopefully
get home before so you.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
Can do that. We'll see how the health is. Depending
on the scheme. We're looking to play a little more
man and zone from man up front from a press standpoint,
so it'll be mixed up. You never wanna do too
much of one thing because people are gonna get a
beat on that, So you're gonna have to play something
off and have to play some zone.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
How do you think today you wear?
Speaker 1 (12:42):
It was hot, guys ran around, They got a lot
of energy early on. Some of them gotta get used
to the heat. That's really not from the South from
that standpoint. But overall, there was some positive things on tape,
and we just gotta keep building
