Episode Transcript

(00:00):
Welcome to it. Broncos Country Tonight, but with all Brian Dick Ferguson,
Grant smith By from Broccos Park Powerby Common Spirit used to refer to that
as Douve Valley. Now we referto it as Roccos Park, Powered by
Common Spirit. It feels uh interestingto be back in this studio. Why
is it so interesting? Did Isee? You know it's it was a

(00:22):
homeway. It was a home fora long time, like Broncos Country Night
that broadcast exclusively from here for along time, and you know we we
still do on occasion, especially duringtraining camp and all that kind of stuff,
but we used to always be here, and so uh, I kind
of got used to the iHeart buildingand then being back in this studio which
has a cutout window right here,and when there are people in here,
like the store is not open rightnow, but when the store is open

(00:43):
feels a little bit like you're azoo animal because people just stand right outside
the glass and stare in and you'relike, wow, this is definitely weird.
Oh look at the guys. Wedefinitely took it the coke. We
do have a great view of theuniforms right there, all the all the
new Bronco uniforms. I got themannequin's up right there in the hallway.
When you look at these zoo uniforms, what would you say is your best

(01:03):
combination the old school? Yeah,okay, I mean not including the old
school the new ones. So forme, I like the white pants,
orange jersey, orange socks, andthe blue Matt helmet. I like that.
I like the white helmet the best. Now, I do like the
blue Matt helmet. I didn't likethe blue glossy helmet as much. Okay,

(01:25):
I do like the Matt. Ilike the white helmet the best.
Personally is that because it's blue onblue white helmet. Honestly, I could
put the white helmet with the orange. I'm not a post. See that's
a great thing about the combination.Now we're looking at four right now outside
the window. But I told thewords they use this modular Okay. Interchangeable,

(01:48):
Yes, that's the whole thing.That's the one thing I love about
them, that they're so interchangeable.But when you talk to fans, diehard
fans, of course, they lovethe old nineteen seventy seven. Everybody keeps
asking when that's going on sale becauseit's not on sale yet August third.
Yes, we have an update onthat yet. It is August third,
for those who wondered, uh,and I can tweet that out here.

(02:10):
Just a minute that Nick Ferguson officiallybroke the news on when the uh the
old one that uh I was not. I don't know if I was supposed
to her not. I'm just gonnalet I'm just gonna credit you for that.
I don't wait wait, so nowit's my fault. I'm not saying
to somebody's fault. I'm saying youbroke the news exclusively. Nick Ferguson broke
the news. Bensman Albright had nothingto do with it. Oh wow,

(02:30):
Okay, we better ask forgiveness andprovision right five six six nine Zeros text
line. You guys, we'll getinvolved in the conversation. Steve Hotwater is
gonna be here in studio a littlebit. Uh. I believe he's running
a little behind. It's gonna behere in a little while. We got
Ryan Michael a little bit later inthe show. Ryan Michael on Twitter.

(02:53):
I always loved talking about She's donewith him programming notes. So this will
be a full live show tonight.The next four days we've at late Rockies
games, so there will be BCTon for about an hour before the Rockies
games each of the next few nights, and we'll get training camp updates and
and things like that as well.So any questions you guys have, go

(03:13):
ahead and send those on n five, six, six nine, Sara,
I'll love to hear what you hadto say, the questions you have,
and how we can best Taylor trainingcamp coverage to you guys. Today we
had Bo Nick's back out there withthe ones and was not Bo's best day.
Well, here's the great thing abouttraining camp is that you're gonna have

(03:34):
good days and you're gonna have baddays. Now depending on who you are
as a fan or member of themedia, and you're leaning highly towards it's
gonna really show based on your evaluationand breakdown, because that's the one thing
about training camp. There are highsand loans. And I say this all
the time to young guys who areplaying, and it was something I had

(03:54):
to remember myself. You're going toget beat, you're gonna interception, you're
not going to be spot on everysingle time. But here's the luxury.
It's practice. Been well, that'swhat practice is for for you to make
your mistakes and iron them out.It's for you to have problems like that

(04:14):
that you can iron them out sothat when you encounter them in a game,
you know what to do. That'sthe point exactly. But you know
how this works, Oh, Iknow exactly how we are in a very
hyper competitive environment. Everyone has theirguy and it's just like, oh,
my guy had a great day,and if your guy doesn't, well,
you know what, we're gonna blameit on these guys. But we hear
they didn't do it. But footballis a collective. Everyone works in unison

(04:41):
together. And I'm sure that thecoaches went back in they review the tape.
Now the thing you have to lookforward tomorrow to see how does bow
Nicks respond. That's the thing youneed to look for in a microcosmic setting.
I think the other day when hehad the interception and then bounce back
for three touchdowns in red zone workwas was ideal because you did have a

(05:02):
setback. Yet leeby Wallace just justtook your lunch and there was some stuff
out There was some weird stuff outthere. Somebody had said that Uh,
Nix's guardian cap slipped overs which didnot happen, and that was not true.
Uh, there were a lot ofweird things out there. The reality
is he just threw a bad ball. He underestimated where the where the defense
defensive player was, threw a badball and he picked him. And so

(05:23):
what happened, Well, he didn'the let he goldfished it, you know,
let that, let that get outof your mind, throw that away
on to the next rep. Andhe had several successful red zone periods uh,
immediately following that. And I thinkthat's gonna be the thing. Oh
Knicks is gonna have rookie moments.He's a rookie. He's gonna have rookie
moments. Yeah. But this thisfan base and those who are in the

(05:43):
media, they're not gonna look atit that way. They're just gonna look
at it as well. Bow Nixwas drafted with the Broncos in the first
round, and then they're gonna say, well, he threw an interception,
Well the Broncos should have went outand got this guy instead of bow Nicks.
And it's just like, whoa man, I mean, it's practice.
Let's walk for a second and putyou in that situation to see how well

(06:04):
you would have done. And theplay that you're talking about, I think
it took place on Saturday, Ithink so right, And what bol learned
in that moment should pay dividends towhen he get in the game because playing
in Oregon, playing in college football, you can make that throw, not
an NFL because guys can recover insituations like that. And even when well,

(06:30):
let me back in for a second, when we look at what's opening
college football, that that may bea two to three step right there,
that guy is open. In theNFL, that corner of that safety,
that linebacker's in phase with you.He's writing your hip pocket and it is
that's open. It is your jobto throwing movement right and at the best.
I think the best quote on thatexact thing is from a conversation Peyton

(06:55):
Manning had with his dad, ArchieManning in his rookie season. You know,
you were talking abot at the interceptions. He was on a call with
his dad. He's like, Dadand he's like, nobody's open. He's
like, it's the NFL, Son, you gotta throw them open, you
know, And it's nobody. That'sthe way it is. The defenses are
just better. The players are better. You know, we took the best
of the best at the last leveland put them all on the same team.
So I think that, you know, the end of the day,

(07:17):
it's there's a there's a bit ofa learning curve. And to sit out
there and throw the term bust aroundand that kind of stuff is it's stupid.
We're we're one padded practice into thisthing. And see the word you
use was stupid, I'm gonna useas an okay, that too, Okay,
just the way to sneak ass onthe air. I get just to

(07:40):
talk about boat Nick, so anyany player for that matter, based on
the the evaluation. And I lovewhat the Broncos are doing as far as
steaking to what coach Sean Payton saidand his pre trending camp press her They're
gonna move some pieces around and standingup today with a couple of alumni guys

(08:01):
when we were watching practice and itwas just like, okay, well,
why is this guy who's typically astarter in with the second group, right,
And when I'm referring to calling Suttonwas in with Jared Stinham and it
was like, well, why isthat the case. I said, well,
what you want to do? Youwant to mix and match. The
Broncoes don't know right now or theymay have inkling who the starting quarterback is

(08:24):
going to be, but it hasn'treally panned out from a competition standpoint.
So you need to mix and matchcertain guys to see what chemistry actually works
well. And you've got to giveI mean, Tim Patrick and Courtland Sutton
are ostensibly in a competition for theex receiver, right, so you've got
to give them reps e the wayand kind of go that way. I
also think Sean Payton doesn't want togive anybody a security blanket. He wants
you to go out and do theright thing, regardless of who's on the

(08:46):
field, and so having the youknow, Courtland Sutton be a security blanket
for whoever's out there getting the firstteam reps. You know, if you're
rotating guys through there, okay,you're just making the right throw, not
looking for your guy that you youknow and going from there. And I
think that's I think that's beneficial.It is a great way to evaluate guys
because sometimes you may get overconfidence runningwith the ones and then all of a

(09:09):
sudden, the coaches say, youknow what, I want you to run
with the twos today or maybe evenrun with the threes, and in certain
cases they want to see how youmentally kind of relate to that, because
some guys go, Okay, thisis business as usual. Some other guys,
oh, they get it. Waitwait wait what the coach thinking I
can't do it? Are they thinkingabout that ball I dropped yesterday or I

(09:30):
didn't make my block. So itstarts to this is where the mental games
come in. It reminds me ofbeing in a position here with the Denver
Broncos where the same thing actually happenedto me, where I became a starter
and then all of a sudden,I was put on a second team at
the safety position, and I'm like, well, why the hell did they
putting me on the second team?I mean, why did coach Shanahand do

(09:50):
that? But it's something he thinkthat I can't handle. But it is
to show that you can actually leada different group. Because in that group
that I was on with the starters, you had John Lynch, Al Wilson,
Ian go DJ Williams. So youthrow me in with the second group
now, it's a little different becauseI'm playing with I'm practicing rather with inexperienced

(10:11):
guys, and I step up inthat lead because that's going to be very
important because we know during the longseason seasons Andrew, so you need to
make sure that guys who in waitingcan actually step up. I think it's
I think it's beneficial in several ways. I mean, One, you get
to see somebody, you know,I want to see somebody else real quick.
I just want to get I wantto get some reps with them on
the first you know whatever. Twowhat you just talked about, you know,

(10:33):
in getting to see if you canlead the you know, the other
unit or there's not so many alphapersonalities and all that as the guys try
to make the I shid three lightsof fire. You know, you're back
on the second team for second You'relike, wait a minute, I gotta
get back up there to the firstyou know. You know, well,
Ben, it did light a fireto a point where it pissed me off
during nine on seven. And youblow somebody up, you get paid.

(10:56):
I'm not gonna say I did that, but it was very inspired nine on
seven to a point where you know, Alex Gibbs, who coaches everyone who's
not a running back of offensive lineman. He even he had something to say
to me now off air, I'lltell you exactly what he called me,
but a little speaking I'm familiar with. I'm familiar with Alex Gibbs his rather

(11:26):
colorful vocabulary. That's a very uniqueway to put it, very colorful,
it is. But I like theidea of mixing and matching so you can
see how guys are going to play. Like you brought up a name that
I think, and I know we'renot too that far deep in camp,
but I think that he's having agreat camp, you know, so far
as Levi Wallace too. That's ahuge concern, like who's going to play

(11:50):
opposite passer Tam But Levan Wallace ismaking a couple of plays. I think
it's going to be a platoon,by the way, because they've been getting
tomorrow. Mathis quite a bit ofreps and he's got better long than Wallace.
But I think you get down onthe red zone. You put Wallace
in there because he's clearly has betterball instincts than either of the other two
guys. What do you think famousthe Riley Moss and Tomorrow Mathish Yeah,

(12:11):
yeah, has been making his plays. Yeah, then makes his plays.
Yeah, but you know he's gotthe experience too. Yeah, this was
saying. I mean you talk abouta guy who's got but they're in your
thirty interceptions his career whatever it is, and so I mean, uh,
you know, you look at youlook at him. He's got the balls
because now he doesn't have the longspeed that the other two guys have.
But if you can find a wayto play, you know, uh,
Moss or mathis you know, whenthe field is more vertical than horizontal,

(12:31):
then as you get down and itcompresses, and you've got an instinctive guy
like Wallace, then you can puthim back in there. And we've seen
Vance Joseph do that, rotate guysthrough whether it was you know remember Roby
and Yaham and all that kind ofstuff when they were there. We've seen
him go with three safety sets andthat heavy nickel. Uh. I think
this defense is going to be creative. It starts up front, and that
defensive line had a monster of aday to day. Yes, yes they

(12:52):
did. Watching the one on ones. I know listen, I know some
of those offensive line and probably gettingshoot out. So when we see him
tomorrow, they may not have abackside, right, you know what,
you know what, it's just keepingit fair. Might have had to take
their medication, their assohole exactly.But what it speaks volume to how the

(13:13):
defensive line has gotten better opposed towhat it was last year. So there's
no shade towards the office line becausethat, once again, it is training
camp. Man, you're gonna getyour butt. What if you don't have
it happened in training camp, isgonna happen in the game. So I
rather happen in practice. Yeah,and I'd rather have it with my own
guys. Then what else has gotwho don't really care? Yeah, give

(13:35):
two niggas about your quarterback? Right, yes, So I'm just saying,
how you do man? No good, no good? Man, had a
good day, good day, AndI'm not route chopping it up watching practice,
Yes, sir, a good time. You feel about the defensive line
today? Oh they bought out,they got some dollars they brought out.
Oh yeah, oh yeah, andjust the addition of a couple of guys

(13:56):
was just missing a couple of pieces. Man, I think this job than
Franklin Myers deal quietly might be thebiggest move the Broncos made. Everybody's gonna
be focused on Bo Nicks, butJohn Franklin Myers might quietly have been the
best move the Broncos made this offseason. Watching him in practice today, it's
push pool And for those listening,what that means is that being able to

(14:16):
engage kind of shot put a guysnatching and arm over and get past it.
What Nick is doing is using technicalterms for grown man strength. Yeah,
okay, the crazy part about it, you're saying that John Franklin Myers
was able to do that to Quinnminors it was a big you know,
stoney guys do himself. Yes,And I was just like whoa. I

(14:39):
was like, whoa, it's tooQuinn. If we put Quinn on skates
man. Yes, yeah, butmany times in the beginning when you don't
know, really no expect Yeah,you're gonna get some of that. And
once these guys know each other better, you know, maybe that won't be
the case as much. But I'mdefinitely happy to see that. Yes,
this is like that throughout his careerthough, so maybe the yeah, I

(15:01):
know, but I'm but we knowthat Quinn minus as adult a Pro Pro
Bowl. You'll may be adjustice,you know, but they know. I
mean, it's just like it happensin practice, it's gonna happen in the
game. If you haven't been runover or run by, it's gonna happen.
You hadn't played long enough. Yeah, don't happen, right. You

(15:22):
just hope that it is one ofthose games where not everyone's watching. But
I had both things happened to me. I had both things happened to me
on one snap. So it's ifyou run over a hand, you're we've
been over this, you're broken itdown in this detail. Uh. I
just I loved what I saw atthe defensive all. I'm excited about this.
And it's weird because everybody's focused onthe quarterback thing, but I'm excited
about the defense this year. They'rechanging a little bit. It's gonna be

(15:45):
more aggressive. It's not gonna bea lot of what we were running the
last couple of years. Quarters matchC C four C six, tight front
with the two four eyes and azero. It's gonna be a lot closer
to to what way Phillips used torun. You've gotta have guys blitz and
you go to see DB's going andafter the quarterback. At times, I
think it's going to be a lotmore fun. Yeah, you know Andy
Brandon, Brandon Jones, he didthat and what he was Yeah, yeah,

(16:08):
So I mean, yeah, they'regoing to miss Justin Simmons and his
all pro talent and all that kindof stuff. But these dbs are physical
and they like to get after it. Yeah, And I know the coaches
they don't like seeing the receivers goingto the ground, you know, awkwardly.
But and guys, as a teammate, even though you you want to

(16:30):
make the play, you got tomake the play if you can make the
play right, but you also wantto protect your team, right you know,
because is he That's That's something inmy years playing the dividing line I
struggle with that. You know.Well, the thing is like when Mike
Shanahan came in, he emphasized thatimportance of going full speed but also protecting

(16:53):
your team because you don't want toget you want to need to start receiver
hurt in practice. Well, Nickwas like the Ron Bergen DFDB, like
there was if it's on the prompty, he's gonna get the play, she
goals for me to light this guy. I'm lighting them up. Don't matter
who is I'm saying, but Mike, you'd be on the next planet.
Very true because my whole thing wasis it liab of memorys? Because if

(17:15):
you told me it was live,then I'm treating it just like a game.
How many time did you go liveagainst your own guys here like you're
doing nine oh seven. I'm talkingabout you tackling low No no, no,
no no no, I'm just thatkind of thud up now, Okay,
Yeah, if you're talking about inthe New York Jets days with Bill
Parcells, that's entirely everything. Yeah, you guys can't wait. Training Campus

(18:00):
at KOA. So you guys backhere on Broncos Country and I just in
a few Welcome back to it,Broncos Country Tonight, Benjamin Olbrighten, Nick
Ferguson, Grant Smith here with you. Yeah, we got off to a
rough start, you know and allthat, but Champe and are good now.
I don't want to get that onthe air. But you didn't.
You didn't ask him about Uh lookas Crow, did you know that?

(18:22):
The second? Are we going outto his Hall of Fame induction here in
a couple of weeks? As Stevedid he get an even golder jacket?
I think you had the gold thegoldmember Jackson Quinn Miners stole the whole time.
Is the bow Tide everything. Ican't even compete. Your goal was

(18:45):
kind of shiny, understated and getthe bow tie on was tight. There's
a little stuck up on was pantswere painted on? Yeah, I'm like
brow you getting around with it andI get shoveled into these things. And
I was like, because you're likethat video of your reaction will will be
one of the all times of alltime. That was crazy because I tell

(19:07):
Ryan the whole time what was goingon. I was like, he's gonna
show. Yeah. I was like, I'm gonna congratulate him in this gold
suit, and Ryn's like, youwon't do this, and of course Ryan
says you won't do this, andyou know that that means I'm definitely gonna
do it as soon as he saidthat, So you know that's the thing.
And it played out perfect because youdidn't look in the window here when
you walk past, so you didn'tsee me sitting right there and like this
thing. And he walked the doorand man, you still have the video

(19:29):
still on Twitter somewhere, and hisfacial expressions like he went from like about
to dap me up to like nahman I and he've touching that? What's
going on with that? Then wasdrinking some gold alumina for it. I
look like I looked like gold memberwith hair with you know, with dark
hair. Yeah, that was good. That was good. That was fun.
I started like I was trying tohave some fun with it, you
know. So and then those thosepants, thankfully, I guess like light

(19:52):
reflected through a window and hit likea like a like a prison or something.
It melted those pants. Whe meltedthose pains in some box or something
like that, because am I nevergonna wear that again? Like melted it
was just like a melting bound orsomething like. It was like to look

(20:15):
at somebody said something about wearing itout to the game or something like that's
a good idea, and we're lookingfor him, and I was like,
how did these burn? They looklike look like somebody put a cigarette lader
and burn them up. Well,maybe you could throw them in the dry
and try to stretch out. Theydon't exist. They disintegrated. Put them
in a dryer, they would haveturned out like that as well. Yeah
right, yeah, this is thisis a and not a will fund out

(20:37):
there. But they were cheap anyway, so it was whatever. It was
good for the point. Yeah,right, it was good to have some
fun with broadcos Country and I Benjaminall Bright, Nick Ferguson. We gets
to the Hall of Famer Steve atWater here as well, Uh Grant Smith
back in Michigan Control five six sixtynine zero is the text line. We
got the Ryan Michaels gonna Joye.A little bit later in the program,
we talked a little bit about thedefense habits of Juice coming out today.

(20:59):
It did feel like they it feltlike they wanted to smoke today. They
felt like the offense didn't. Perhapswe saw a couple of runs get snuffed
in the backfield. The offense washaving some snap count issues. The funniest
moment of practice I think was Steadyhardcounting the defense to actually jump and then
throwing his towel up as the flag, calling his own flag on the play.
But is it normal for the defenseto be ahead of the offenses early?

(21:22):
Yeah? Yeah, especially early on. And you know the offense they
haven't really installed all their plays.They're working on a few plays right now,
especially the first day in pads,And as camp goes on, that
playbook is going to expand and they'llbe making adjustment to the line of scrimmage
and we'll see them be a lotmore efficient, a lot more productive than

(21:47):
they were today. At what pointin camp do you guys as defensive players
know, hey, this offense hasgot something or I don't know if they
got something here, Like at whatpoint you know? Well, for me,
it's I'll go like it's two phaseson seven and then we go to
red zone. Because when when youthink about those Mike Shinhan teams, you

(22:07):
have to be able to run theball well. Even when teams stack the
box. You actually have to keepthat team on as the defense. That
is, to make sure that youcan go play action but the red zone,
because we know you're dealing with lessreal estate and the ball's got to
come out quick. If your offensecan be really creative inside the red zone,
you know you stand a chance.Because how quarterbacks measure where you do

(22:27):
them third down what you do insidethe red zone. So if you efficient
inside the red zone, it givesyou an idea defensively, if we make
a couple of stops and give theball back to our offense and key situations,
we can score points. That's theway that I look. Yeah,
yeah, Well for me, it'smore what players do you have at what

(22:49):
positions and how good are those playersand you know how proven are they for
us? The quarterback we don't,we're not. We're not sure right now
who's going to be the main guy. But who I think whoever that main
guy is, I think he'll beHe'll be a good quarterback. I'll just
say, like, at what pointin can okay? Okay? And then
then you look at the other otherpositions. You look at tight end,

(23:11):
hey, Greg Doss, Lucas Crollballing out Hall of famers. Well,
and we know that we all feellike if Gregg stays healthy could do something
special. It can be something special. And you know Lucas Crow, good
poticial there. You know, nowoffensive line, what they're going to do
there, wire receivers, we gotpotential. It's potential all over the place.

(23:33):
But as a defense, you're lookingat are these guys going on us
pretty regularly? And if so,you feel confident that, hey, they
can do this to other teams,especially if you have confidence that you're running
a good defense and you've got gooddefensive players. Right, well, you've
been playing for good defensive units.That's why I ask, Yeah, yeah,
yeah, it's not the fact thatif they're scoring. It is how

(23:57):
they are scoring that is that isreally key, because is it really creative
that it puts us defensively in avine where man, I thought I was
on top of that particular play andthey got one behind me. Yeah,
I jumped that round they went,they went, They finally open gout.
They found a weakness in the defense. That makes sense. The reason that

(24:18):
I ask is the fan base sortof anytime you level the criticism that the
quarterbacks kind of weren't it wasn't theirbest day. The fan base starts melting
down on social media and saying thingslike, oh, well, today's Bonick's
a bust. Even the greatest quarterbackshalf some days like that to Pat Mahomes
didn't start the last game of hisfirst year. Nobody's calling Patrick Mahomes a
bust. Like, let's just justpump the brakes, Like, let this
kid grow and become I say kidrelatively because he's like ninety years old,

(24:41):
but you know, let let boneNicks become what bon Knicks can become.
Yeah, but here's the thing.Also, I've never come across a player
who's had a perfect practice or evenhad a perfect game. I steve,
if you have you played a perfectgame before in your career. I never

(25:07):
hunted, But you know some gameswhere I grade it out, like hey,
where I was supposed to be,I was the every I appreciate that,
But ninety nine percent of a cashmeresweater. There's the other one.
It was the same mustard on it, mustard on it sweater. Because if
you graded out one hundred percent ofthe time as a player, you don't

(25:27):
need a coach, just show upfor the game. But that shows that
the coach is doing a great job, and you're you're taking to the coach.
Yes, that's the thing, becauseit's when you're evaluating guys. I
mean, don't always kind of dwellon the highs of highs and the lows
of clothes. Are you developing overthe training camp? If you make a

(25:48):
mistake, do you wipe the slateclean and you move on? That's how
you tell. And you can't keepmaking the same mistake. No, you
can't, you know, because youcan make a mistake. Everybody knows a
you're gonna make some mistakes, butdon't keep making that same thing over and
over. You know what's never amistake going out and checking the traffic with

powered by a common spirit. Howlong did it take you to like get
that phrase down? It took mea minute. I had to first literally

(26:32):
today it is part I was Poweredby Common Spa about fifty times in a
row. Today is the first dayI've got it right literally today, No

(26:52):
Temper earlier because he was like thatwas a good you know, And I
was like, thanks, coach.You gotta you just have to know how
to teach coaching. Well, that'sthe thing you and and we were talking
about this sort of during the trafficbreak there. It's just like the different
styles of coaching and how it relatesto players and and and the most effective
way to do all that kind ofstuff. And you know, there's a
we used to run a promo hereat the station. That's me like I

(27:14):
like to be coached hard or whateverI do, Like, I like,
I respect it if it's going tomake me better, Like, don't mince
words with me. I can takeit. Some people can't. Some people
you got to have the carrots,some people gotta have the stick. You
know that kind of stuff we're talkingabout. It were talking about a guy
who wasn't imparting necessary corrections to players, you know, back in the day,
that kind of stuff, And uh, it can be it could be
detrimental to guys development if you ifyou're not sitting there, but you got

(27:36):
to have his nick lex and totalk about you got the same stand across
the board, you know. Yeah, this is why you know Bill Parcell's
had I mean the PhD and peopleand he knew how a player hit her
degree. No, no, notdoubt no, no, he knew exactly
how to read people, impress theright buttons. Yea. And either you
were going to elevate your level ofplay or you were going to tange oh

(27:57):
yeah, or you're going to tuckyour tail between lake, grab your ball
and go home. And that's that'sthe thing that's saying the break that the
job of a coach is to takethe guy that that you are and the
guy that you could be and makethem meet. That's his job. However
that works out, whatever motivated,it's different for different people. Hold on
for a second. I've dated womenwho try to do that too. That's
what you call him coach? Mpclay, I want to mold you into

(28:21):
the man. I want you tobe listenish, it's going to be coach.
Coach Keisha. I'm saying like that, No, it's nothing yet,
but they still try to do itanywhere were you guys, You're like,
I got a guy who worked doingthis already. I don't need it when
I get home. Right. Ohman, I'm just saying like, yeah,
that that has been Uh that's beena common theme in my life.

(28:42):
Now. Now I'm down sitting here, like coach get coached up for years?
They coached up right, trying totook trying to tell us spent twenty
years the same coach. That's right, that's right, man, you finally
figured out you are on coaching.Yes, six six zero text life,

(29:03):
I would saying, good. There'sa lot of guys that are. I
talked to one of my former teammateshis name, but uh, he's very
coachable. He was telling me,hey, my wife this, this,
she tells me this and this.I'm like, hey, alright, cool.
Yeah, I know I know quitea few, quite a few guys
like that, but man, I'mnot I'm not as coachable. Woman pulling

(29:26):
up the clicker off Monday, therewere garbage bassn't mind account you're posted up
playing PlayStation Lit. The laser portergoing just right there in the back of
my head like Hares doing theirs wasa balls by That would be a great
TV show. It's like a skip, like a SNL skit. Well well

(29:47):
no, no SNL skip. ButI'm talking like a great show, Like
you bring couples on the show andyou know, coaching them up a couple's
coach. We just did that issummright. Some TV producers listening right now
is like I'm still you got wivestrying to to coach their husband. Man
putting up on black it up here? Okay, I wanted out. We're
sitting here the yard, look atthe look at the levels of the grass

(30:08):
here. Yeah yeah, yeah,what I have somebody else hand on that
show? Steve's form right in thecheckout? Yeah yeah, I got I
gotta described for you, Steve standingfor right. Oh my goodness. Has
there ever been anybody who's jumped outyou so far as you've seen that?
Maybe people are talking autcause I thinkthat Restaylor kid looks like he's got something

(30:30):
to him. Uh yeah, yeah, I think he does. I think
Chris Abrams Drain he stood out.Yeah, I've been talking about matthis and
Moss, but Drain might make hispresence known this year. He's made some
plays and and as a young player, you know, he had a good
play up against Courtland. Yeah,and many times as a young player you're

(30:51):
kind of intimidated to go up againstlike a courtless Sudden. That's that's one
of the guys you've read about,You've seen him play, and you know,
I'm sure that he's guys when theygot drafted, they look through.
Oh let me check out some filmon these guys. Call this a sudden.
He's wanted to start the receivers,so that that could have been a
big difference. But he's been commonenough and you know, bys enough to

(31:15):
go up against him and make aplay. And that's that's huge, especially
this early on in camp, firstday and past. Now, hey we're
gonna have more days, and hey, some days he may get beat,
but that shows that shows a lot, though, to have the courage to
to get up there and play himtight and and make a play. To
me, it is uh Art Bandletright. And what I'm talking about is

(31:36):
devon right. If you want okay. I watched some episodes, but he's
an importer exporter, but he mostlywants to focus on the importing and not
on the expert watching him. Beinga big receiver, there's a lot of

(31:56):
carryover from Mini campin O t Asand when you look at his body type,
he is cooling, sudden and timPatrick. If he can come along
and learn this offense and be productiveto me, now he becomes another middle
of the field threat, and healso becomes the threat inside the red zone
because now we're talking about those backin end zone throws at the gold post

(32:21):
and those fifty to fifty balls.This is where he can make a name
for himself. But it's still earlyin the camp. First day of pass
was today. Let's see how thegroup starts to move along with more padded
practices. How rough is it thatfirst day of pass? Like, can
you sore even more? That's theworst day? Yeah, yeah, yeah,

(32:42):
you got may have to get anice hub. Maybe not. The
first day won't be as bad becauseyou just get used to it. That
second day, sagon, third,fourth day are man, you're gonna be
sore. You're gonna be sore.But that's the part of what they call
it the uclamization period or what theycall it calousen whatever. Yes, which
final way, tomorrow's practice could bea little lower. Today's CBA mandates that

(33:02):
the first day of pads only anhour and a half. Tomorrow's gonna be
like the full two hours. Sookay. So as I was walking across
the field, I ran across MikeWestuff and I was like, man,
this is some sauce, and hewas wondering what I'm talking about. I'm
like, man, I remember thefirst day of pads. I mean right
after stretch was and he finished thesentence live kickoff right first day, right

(33:30):
out stretch. I mean it's likeeight thirty in the morning. That was
the first drill that you did livekickoff for the Jets. The teamager reserved
love kickoff, yes, and youdon't kickoff team. Yes, I'm on

(33:50):
kickoff team. So I mean,now you gotta maneuver. And it was
kind of like it didn't you didn'tgo down as a team. The first
thing was one on ones. Shewas one on ones, and then you
went down up team. It wasreal physical. It's this ridiculous guys Kwait
