11
00:00:49,920 –> 00:00:53,279
Speaker 1: it is Pad’s interesting. Let’s start this way because I

12
00:00:53,280 –> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 1: have tweeted out I’m at Mitch Holts and you you

13
00:00:59,120 –> 00:01:02,520
Speaker 1: kind of retweeted answered it because I said it’s pads first,

14
00:01:02,600 –> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 1: A no acronym doesn’t mean anything except pads and you

15
00:01:07,480 –> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 1: had a nice comeback. Yeah, that’s that’s why a U

16
00:01:10,760 –> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 1: A p o YP my teammates, alumni people as part

17
00:01:15,560 –> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 1: of the Chiefs organization back in two thousand and three,

18
00:01:18,640 –> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 1: four and five under coach for a Meal, would know

19
00:01:21,560 –> 00:01:23,920
Speaker 1: whenever you had a doubt of whether we were gonna

20
00:01:23,920 –> 00:01:27,960
Speaker 1: go hats or shelves and you saw pads on the schedule.

21
00:01:27,959 –> 00:01:29,399
Speaker 1: But you man, he was like, man, this is our

22
00:01:29,480 –> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 1: third fourth day straight. I know he ain’t putting us

23
00:01:31,440 –> 00:01:33,760
Speaker 1: back in those pads. You would get to the locker

24
00:01:33,840 –> 00:01:35,759
Speaker 1: room and on a grease board, it would be nothing

25
00:01:35,760 –> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 1: but those letters. Shut your you know what up and

26
00:01:39,959 –> 00:01:43,319
Speaker 1: put your pads on. That’s all they would say. You

27
00:01:43,160 –> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 1: you got welcome to the Welcome to the locker room

28
00:01:45,560 –> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 1: with the acronym. That’s why a pop yp Shut y’all,

29
00:01:50,600 –> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 1: you know what up and put your pads on, and

30
00:01:53,280 –> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 1: you can search him, follow him on Twitter, and you

31
00:01:56,560 –> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 1: can follow me at matcholters. But I said, I don’t

32
00:01:59,080 –> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 1: care if you play football at any level. You know

33
00:02:01,760 –> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 1: what this day means. Your stomach is churning. But this

34
00:02:04,760 –> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 1: is a game played end pads. I don’t want to

35
00:02:06,880 –> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 1: be simplistic here, and the safety of the game has

36
00:02:09,720 –> 00:02:13,680
Speaker 1: improved so much, but there is a mentality at training camp.

37
00:02:14,080 –> 00:02:16,960
Speaker 1: Put the pads on and let her fly and we’re

38
00:02:16,960 –> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 1: gonna start. The first quarter is one of my favorite drills.

39
00:02:21,000 –> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 1: The first quarter of our podcast today is running backs

40
00:02:24,200 –> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 1: against linebackers. Two days saw it? Who likes it? Who

41
00:02:29,520 –> 00:02:33,080
Speaker 1: wants to learn? Who wants to do it and doesn’t

42
00:02:33,120 –> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 1: shy away from it. Yeah, I love this drill. You

43
00:02:35,480 –> 00:02:38,079
Speaker 1: know that one on ones. It’s a it’s a blitz

44
00:02:38,120 –> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 1: pick up drill. You have your running backs and your

45
00:02:41,040 –> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 1: tight ends trying to pick up linebackers attacking through the

46
00:02:44,760 –> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 1: middle gaps and off the edges and in the m

47
00:02:47,280 –> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 1: and be honest, the drill is designed for the bull rush.

48
00:02:50,639 –> 00:02:53,520
Speaker 1: Is a defensive design. Drill is designed for the defense

49
00:02:53,560 –> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 1: to win the majority of the time, but every once

50
00:02:55,800 –> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 1: in a while, Every once in a while. Remember there’s

51
00:02:58,720 –> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 1: a few running backs in my history that got up

52
00:03:00,919 –> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 1: into my chin and put me on my back a

53
00:03:02,400 –> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 1: few times. But I didn’t happen that often, but a

54
00:03:05,000 –> 00:03:07,679
Speaker 1: few times. One of our faithful guys, one of the

55
00:03:07,760 –> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 1: guys here from Kansas City, oh t Rich. Oh, he

56
00:03:10,400 –> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 1: was the best time. He was the best man. He

57
00:03:12,360 –> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 1: was able, He had a he had a defensive gays mentality.

58
00:03:15,160 –> 00:03:17,960
Speaker 1: Although he was a running back fullback. He played with

59
00:03:18,000 –> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 1: a grittiness and a toughness that was I think more

60
00:03:22,000 –> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 1: more relatable to a defensive minded guy. Linebackers love the

61
00:03:25,560 –> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 1: drill because they get a five to six yard head start.

62
00:03:29,000 –> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 1: But when t Rich would rep it. They would go,

63
00:03:31,160 –> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 1: you know, I got a rock in my shoe. Why

64
00:03:32,600 –> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 1: don’t you go, I’ve got to tie my shoes. But

65
00:03:35,800 –> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 1: we see something here in the first couple of days

66
00:03:38,160 –> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 1: with the running backs, and I love it the fact

67
00:03:40,840 –> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 1: Eric b Enemy’s offensive coordinator, but he stays in there,

68
00:03:43,040 –> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 1: and Dlanne McCall I like him too, because it’s like

69
00:03:45,080 –> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 1: b Enemy two point zero. But a guy like Anthony

70
00:03:48,640 –> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 1: Sherman the sausage loves the drill, who likes it, he

71
00:03:52,120 –> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 1: likes it, who wants to learn, he likes to learn

72
00:03:54,040 –> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 1: and teach, and who wants to do the drill When

73
00:03:56,480 –> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 1: he sees it up on the board, he’s like, all right,

74
00:03:58,200 –> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 1: we’re gonna do it. Yeah, inteality. Well, you see some guys.

75
00:04:01,760 –> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 1: You know, it’s a normal rotation, right. You got the

76
00:04:03,280 –> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 1: rookies expected to go a few times, the veterans you

77
00:04:05,840 –> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 1: go once or twice. Then you get you get a

78
00:04:08,320 –> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 1: couple of guys that really loved that contact, really loved

79
00:04:10,760 –> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 1: the opportunity to rise and show you know, rister occasion

80
00:04:13,240 –> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 1: and showed it. Hey, I’m about this, you know, I’m

81
00:04:15,400 –> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 1: about that action. Um. But you know, it’s like I said,

82
00:04:18,960 –> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 1: it’s a defensive man of drill. Um. But you love

83
00:04:22,600 –> 00:04:26,279
Speaker 1: to see guys UM step out of that comfort zone.

84
00:04:26,600 –> 00:04:28,839
Speaker 1: Just because you’re a certain height and certain weight and

85
00:04:28,839 –> 00:04:31,280
Speaker 1: you’re going to get some much taller, bigger guy, that

86
00:04:31,320 –> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 1: doesn’t mean you’re gonna let him this bull rescue. Um,

87
00:04:34,080 –> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 1: that’s the time to really step up. We had some

88
00:04:35,680 –> 00:04:38,719
Speaker 1: guys do that today, and I want to I always

89
00:04:38,720 –> 00:04:40,040
Speaker 1: talk about one of the guys and I want to

90
00:04:40,040 –> 00:04:43,040
Speaker 1: get ahead of ourselves here, but I always look at

91
00:04:43,040 –> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 1: the rookies. I want to see how the rookies do

92
00:04:45,600 –> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 1: that drill. Darwin Thompson, the rookie out of Utah State,

93
00:04:50,440 –> 00:04:52,720
Speaker 1: was like and Sausage has been working with him, and

94
00:04:52,760 –> 00:04:56,479
Speaker 1: so has has d Mac and uh be enemy. But

95
00:04:56,600 –> 00:04:59,679
Speaker 1: he showed the mentality to me he likes to drill.

96
00:05:00,080 –> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 1: Let’s go, let’s figure this out. Yeah, if you don’t know,

97
00:05:02,320 –> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 1: now you know number twenty five is to be reckoned

98
00:05:04,880 –> 00:05:07,920
Speaker 1: with not only a return guy. I mean this guy

99
00:05:07,960 –> 00:05:10,159
Speaker 1: got a heart. He got a heart of a lion,

100
00:05:10,720 –> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 1: Um and he stood up against the bullrush coming right

101
00:05:14,000 –> 00:05:17,280
Speaker 1: up the middle. Um set his feet. Now he didn’t

102
00:05:17,279 –> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 1: always win, but but but you could see by the

103
00:05:19,560 –> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 1: attitude he took he relied on his fundamentals. He planted

104
00:05:22,920 –> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 1: that foot, sunk his hips, built himself an anchor, and

105
00:05:27,520 –> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 1: then and then ran his feet. And that’s all you

106
00:05:30,240 –> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 1: can ask for a guy. You can’t you can’t ask

107
00:05:31,640 –> 00:05:33,599
Speaker 1: God to be what he ain’t. All right, he’s a

108
00:05:33,600 –> 00:05:36,840
Speaker 1: certain heightened weight. He wasn’t gifted, you know, with two

109
00:05:36,960 –> 00:05:39,160
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty pounds sixty three and all that. But

110
00:05:39,839 –> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 1: he gives you so much heart and then determination and tenacity. Man,

111
00:05:44,400 –> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 1: I go fight with that guy any day. My box

112
00:05:47,000 –> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 1: is to check on this drill. Who likes it? He

113
00:05:49,760 –> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 1: seemed to like it. Who wants to learn? He soaks in,

114
00:05:53,279 –> 00:05:56,359
Speaker 1: he wants to learn? Three? Who wants to do this drill?

115
00:05:56,720 –> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 1: Thompson seems like he wants to do it? Now where

116
00:05:59,680 –> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 1: it back on the linebackers and now it gets flipped

117
00:06:02,240 –> 00:06:04,839
Speaker 1: on them as they got to cover. And it’s the

118
00:06:05,040 –> 00:06:08,279
Speaker 1: rbs or tight ends going out against the linebackers. And

119
00:06:08,320 –> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 1: it’s not a fair fight. You gotta cover the whole field.

120
00:06:10,880 –> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 1: If you’re a linebacker going well, this ain’t real life

121
00:06:13,000 –> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 1: because I got nine other guys or ten guys helping me.

122
00:06:15,960 –> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 1: Now you’re on the linebacker on that side. What do

123
00:06:19,040 –> 00:06:22,840
Speaker 1: you learn and how do you handle that? Well, you gotta, yeah,

124
00:06:22,839 –> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 1: you realize that you know that side of the drillsing

125
00:06:24,760 –> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 1: the offensive is kind of tilted to a defense. But

126
00:06:28,520 –> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 1: as a coach, you’re coaching the guys up to relying

127
00:06:31,320 –> 00:06:33,840
Speaker 1: your fundamentals. Right, So when that running back takes off,

128
00:06:33,960 –> 00:06:38,160
Speaker 1: defensive linebackers, you know, stay inside out, close the distance.

129
00:06:38,680 –> 00:06:40,479
Speaker 1: We call it taking it. Take the air out of

130
00:06:40,480 –> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 1: the route. The running back wants to run a route

131
00:06:42,680 –> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 1: to create distance, to give him room to shake and

132
00:06:45,360 –> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 1: shiver and create leverage angles to attack your discipline. Well,

133
00:06:49,640 –> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 1: on defense, we want we want to take the air

134
00:06:51,560 –> 00:06:53,479
Speaker 1: out of that route. Get as close to that running

135
00:06:53,480 –> 00:06:55,720
Speaker 1: back as you can, knock him off his rhythm. Um,

136
00:06:56,080 –> 00:06:57,919
Speaker 1: don’t allow him in the quarterback to be on the

137
00:06:57,960 –> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 1: same page when it comes to them when that break

138
00:07:00,240 –> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 1: point in that route is going to be. But then

139
00:07:02,040 –> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 1: you gotta finish the drill, and you always gotta run.

140
00:07:05,040 –> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 1: Take proper angles to make tackles. Your pursuit to the

141
00:07:08,640 –> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 1: football is important. And when you have a chance to

142
00:07:10,720 –> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 1: get your hand on the ball with the appropriate hand,

143
00:07:13,120 –> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 1: get your hand on the ball, strip it out. Those

144
00:07:16,320 –> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 1: are kind of things that even though the drill is

145
00:07:18,120 –> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 1: meant for the offense. Defense can get so much work

146
00:07:20,960 –> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 1: from it. So much work can be had on the

147
00:07:22,880 –> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 1: defenside of ball when it comes to one on one

148
00:07:24,400 –> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 1: pass coverage. And to me, Barbershop, this drill has become

149
00:07:27,600 –> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 1: more important in just the past five years in this

150
00:07:29,800 –> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 1: league because the league has become a spread league. I’m

151
00:07:33,400 –> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 1: gonna look for the runt pig. This league is always

152
00:07:35,640 –> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 1: find the runt pig. And if I’m the backer, that’s

153
00:07:38,120 –> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 1: the runt pig who can handle covering the running back

154
00:07:40,240 –> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 1: of the tight end. And you gotta go set down

155
00:07:42,240 –> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 1: on sub packages. It’s not a good thing if you’re

156
00:07:46,480 –> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 1: a linebacker. So I think that drill has taken even

157
00:07:49,280 –> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 1: more of an impact. Now let’s go to the second

158
00:07:52,080 –> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 1: quarter of our Pads podcast here, and that is the

159
00:07:56,160 –> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 1: oil DL. This to me is collegiate wrestling, Okay, not

160
00:08:02,040 –> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 1: the other stuff, because I cannot believe what I’ve learned,

161
00:08:05,120 –> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 1: because I learned every day watching this the intricacies of

162
00:08:09,160 –> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 1: hand placement, footwork, move move, counter move, punch, CounterPunch. What

163
00:08:14,760 –> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 1: have we seen so far during the D line individual drill?

164
00:08:19,000 –> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 1: You know, And they’re kind of walking through things, the

165
00:08:22,240 –> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 1: coaches being such a teacher at teaching. Guys, Hey, I

166
00:08:25,920 –> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 1: want your hand at this exact spot. I want you

167
00:08:27,880 –> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 1: to punch this. I want you to count with this.

168
00:08:29,720 –> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 1: You gotta do this with your hips. Then you gotta rip,

169
00:08:32,040 –> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 1: you gotta pull. So he’s taking all He’s taking their

170
00:08:35,120 –> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 1: pass moves and breaking them down to each segment of

171
00:08:38,040 –> 00:08:41,839
Speaker 1: of the move and why it’s important. And this is

172
00:08:41,880 –> 00:08:43,440
Speaker 1: a chance for them to like let it all go.

173
00:08:43,880 –> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 1: All those things you’ve been coached up with his bags

174
00:08:46,000 –> 00:08:47,840
Speaker 1: and the one on ones and the hand drills and

175
00:08:47,840 –> 00:08:50,440
Speaker 1: the hand fighting, now you got a chance to live

176
00:08:51,960 –> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 1: a live subject to work on those things with. And

177
00:08:56,640 –> 00:08:59,120
Speaker 1: you saw some guys really step up. You know what

178
00:08:59,120 –> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 1: you’re gonna get from Clark is gonna be a Tasmanian

179
00:09:01,840 –> 00:09:04,040
Speaker 1: devil off the edge. I love you know what I

180
00:09:04,080 –> 00:09:06,360
Speaker 1: love about watching him in one on ones. When the

181
00:09:06,400 –> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 1: ball is hike you here in roar, he comes like

182
00:09:10,440 –> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 1: so so you imagine that offensive linement, like like like you,

183
00:09:13,360 –> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 1: you hear him coming before he even gets to you,

184
00:09:16,480 –> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 1: and he already got you wondering what is he about

185
00:09:18,280 –> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 1: to do? What is he gonna slap me in the head?

186
00:09:20,400 –> 00:09:22,400
Speaker 1: He gonna hit me in the gut, he gonna spin move,

187
00:09:22,440 –> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 1: he gonna speed move, power move, bubble rush, all those things,

188
00:09:25,760 –> 00:09:27,839
Speaker 1: and you see that fireing is how you loved it.

189
00:09:28,080 –> 00:09:31,000
Speaker 1: See see a guy put the audio the grunt, with

190
00:09:31,080 –> 00:09:34,680
Speaker 1: the with the hand placement and with the skill level.

191
00:09:35,360 –> 00:09:37,520
Speaker 1: But you see a guy like that, it’s a constant

192
00:09:37,559 –> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 1: professional coming off the ball. And then we got a

193
00:09:39,920 –> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 1: guy who’s unblocking ninety five is unblockable. His length, his height,

194
00:09:43,360 –> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 1: his ratio is leverage is his motor. When you put

195
00:09:47,600 –> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 1: him in on one of those guards to tackles with

196
00:09:49,360 –> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 1: sinners man, I mean, it’s it’s an unfair fight to

197
00:09:52,520 –> 00:09:54,440
Speaker 1: be into against Chris Jones. When it comes to one

198
00:09:54,480 –> 00:09:57,559
Speaker 1: on one, people say, well, this’s in real life either

199
00:09:57,960 –> 00:10:00,160
Speaker 1: because it’s five on five or five on you know

200
00:10:00,160 –> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 1: you’ve got your plan tackle to tackle, so I’m never

201
00:10:02,320 –> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 1: just like one on one with no help. However, I

202
00:10:05,200 –> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 1: will say this, in my brief twenty six years of

203
00:10:07,440 –> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 1: watching this in the league, I have never seen a

204
00:10:10,360 –> 00:10:13,680
Speaker 1: guy who’s good at it bad in real life football.

205
00:10:13,920 –> 00:10:16,200
Speaker 1: Will Shields was the best I’ve ever seen at it.

206
00:10:16,240 –> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 1: I think he’s undefeated in fourteen years. He was like

207
00:10:18,360 –> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 1: seven thousand, nine hundred and twenty two and oh, because

208
00:10:21,360 –> 00:10:25,600
Speaker 1: he was unbelievable. That segues in now to a couple

209
00:10:25,559 –> 00:10:27,319
Speaker 1: of guys I want to bring up because we look

210
00:10:27,360 –> 00:10:30,120
Speaker 1: at the headliners and Frank Clark is like looking at

211
00:10:30,160 –> 00:10:33,200
Speaker 1: some character from Game of Thrones, right, all right, now

212
00:10:33,280 –> 00:10:37,200
Speaker 1: let’s look at these young guys. Yeah, Khalil mackenzie sixty

213
00:10:37,240 –> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 1: six and nic El Gretty drafted out of Illinois, number

214
00:10:40,559 –> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 1: seventy three. They’ve been doing this drill at right guard,

215
00:10:44,960 –> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 1: center and left guard. I’m asking you to take algebra,

216
00:10:48,920 –> 00:10:52,839
Speaker 1: calculus in geometry all in the same semester. What about that?

217
00:10:53,120 –> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 1: And how does a guy like that, guy like those

218
00:10:56,200 –> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 1: guys handle it. It’s a testament to those guys commitment

219
00:10:58,720 –> 00:11:01,599
Speaker 1: to learn, you know, because the footwork is different for

220
00:11:01,640 –> 00:11:03,839
Speaker 1: every position. Right, you go from right guard, the left guard,

221
00:11:03,840 –> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 1: you go to the center. The footwork it’s not only difference,

222
00:11:06,640 –> 00:11:08,719
Speaker 1: but then you’re not putting them against the same guy.

223
00:11:08,800 –> 00:11:10,959
Speaker 1: One time you’re going against naughty. Then you’re going against

224
00:11:11,040 –> 00:11:13,360
Speaker 1: ninety one, then ninety three, then uh ninety eight to

225
00:11:13,520 –> 00:11:16,560
Speaker 1: ninety seven, I mean seventy four. So they’re they’re they’re

226
00:11:16,640 –> 00:11:18,560
Speaker 1: using that technique and the footwork, but they’re going against

227
00:11:18,600 –> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 1: a guy with a whole different set of skills and

228
00:11:21,000 –> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 1: techniques and moves uh to try to battle again. So

229
00:11:24,120 –> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 1: I mean their job is being it’s extreme extremely uh

230
00:11:29,320 –> 00:11:32,640
Speaker 1: more difficult than than than than the other starters that

231
00:11:33,040 –> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 1: you know, uh Fisher and those guys that just you know,

232
00:11:36,160 –> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 1: you put them in that one position. He’s going against

233
00:11:38,000 –> 00:11:40,440
Speaker 1: Frank Clark every time he knows. Frank loves to go

234
00:11:40,600 –> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 1: power to speed, you know, kind of moves this and

235
00:11:42,520 –> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 1: then so he gets to learn what he is so

236
00:11:43,800 –> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 1: he has a chance of vival. But our young guys,

237
00:11:46,240 –> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 1: they’re being put in that in that battle zone against

238
00:11:49,120 –> 00:11:53,439
Speaker 1: fresh Uh. I’m some fresh wolves that are trying to

239
00:11:53,520 –> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 1: hunt um and they gotta they gotta learn on the

240
00:11:55,960 –> 00:11:58,720
Speaker 1: run and then and then they’ve stepped up um um

241
00:11:58,760 –> 00:12:01,559
Speaker 1: in that one on one drill um to do to

242
00:12:01,720 –> 00:12:04,080
Speaker 1: do do at a really good rate. Camer Irving’s been

243
00:12:04,120 –> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 1: doing it too. Cam has played all five positions I

244
00:12:06,440 –> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 1: think in his career so far, and he was rapping

245
00:12:09,880 –> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 1: second day of pads at right tackle. But I guess

246
00:12:13,800 –> 00:12:16,560
Speaker 1: the best analogy is for for those guys who have

247
00:12:16,640 –> 00:12:20,199
Speaker 1: to learn multiple positions. You’re asking me to breakfast right

248
00:12:20,240 –> 00:12:24,160
Speaker 1: handed and lunch left handed, and then dinner with both hands.

249
00:12:24,240 –> 00:12:27,600
Speaker 1: I mean, it’s it’s it’s I don’t want to it’s

250
00:12:27,679 –> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 1: really fascinating to watch it. And then a late night

251
00:12:30,200 –> 00:12:35,439
Speaker 1: snack which as case um man, I mean to see

252
00:12:35,520 –> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 1: to see the D line and to see those young

253
00:12:37,280 –> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 1: guys work on different moves um uh like naughty and

254
00:12:40,920 –> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 1: uh you know ninety ninety you know the quick step

255
00:12:43,440 –> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 1: to punch the bull the counter um man. Yeah, some

256
00:12:49,080 –> 00:12:51,600
Speaker 1: guys that is, you know, working on that finish uh,

257
00:12:52,360 –> 00:12:55,960
Speaker 1: getting to the quarterback, working on a strip, drill, culmination

258
00:12:56,000 –> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 1: of all those things that you spend you know, individual

259
00:12:57,960 –> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 1: period fifteen minutes working on it, didn’t having a chance

260
00:13:00,559 –> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 1: to see it work and see it flourished and bloom

261
00:13:04,280 –> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 1: to a possible sack and one on one’s driels. I mean,

262
00:13:08,040 –> 00:13:09,680
Speaker 1: that’s what D line, you know, That’s what it is about.

263
00:13:09,720 –> 00:13:12,280
Speaker 1: That’s working in the trenches right there. That’s called that’s

264
00:13:12,280 –> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 1: how you got to do your work. It’s grimmy, it’s

265
00:13:14,040 –> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 1: a dirty job, but somebody got to do it. Again.

266
00:13:16,480 –> 00:13:19,680
Speaker 1: This is our one of our training camp podcasts pads.

267
00:13:19,840 –> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 1: That’s the only thing we’re saying talking about today and again,

268
00:13:23,720 –> 00:13:26,200
Speaker 1: all that sweat and grime a training camp Hopola. You

269
00:13:26,200 –> 00:13:29,679
Speaker 1: can kind of feel it with us here. Another thing,

270
00:13:29,720 –> 00:13:32,199
Speaker 1: we’re go to the third quarter here, so we’ve had halftime.

271
00:13:32,240 –> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 1: You know how to do halftime. They’re quick in this league,

272
00:13:34,320 –> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 1: really quick at camp. They blow the horn, you go

273
00:13:36,240 –> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 1: right back out there, and we’re going right back out

274
00:13:38,679 –> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 1: there with nine on seven. And people go, well, why

275
00:13:41,920 –> 00:13:44,720
Speaker 1: would I watch nine on seven’s boring inside run drill?

276
00:13:45,040 –> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 1: There’s no wide receivers. We’re just gonna run the ball

277
00:13:48,160 –> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 1: between the tackles and you find out a lot there. Now,

278
00:13:52,600 –> 00:13:57,440
Speaker 1: what I saw today was the continued work of teamwork

279
00:13:57,880 –> 00:14:00,360
Speaker 1: nine on seven. I’ve got to figure out where they

280
00:14:00,400 –> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 1: lining up combo blocks or if I’m on the defense,

281
00:14:02,600 –> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 1: run fits nine on seven? The benefit of it? And

282
00:14:06,880 –> 00:14:09,000
Speaker 1: why do you should you pay attention watching it if

283
00:14:09,040 –> 00:14:11,600
Speaker 1: you’re a fan? Well, the points of impasty is already

284
00:14:11,679 –> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 1: is gonna be pad level. Right everybody when they get tired,

285
00:14:14,880 –> 00:14:17,319
Speaker 1: cam gets long, your your your body’s a little tired,

286
00:14:17,360 –> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 1: you naturally start your your pad level starts to rise up.

287
00:14:21,720 –> 00:14:24,480
Speaker 1: Uh that can only you know that’s that’s a bad thing.

288
00:14:24,720 –> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 1: You might get injured. Um, you get yourself in bad habits.

289
00:14:28,240 –> 00:14:29,880
Speaker 1: But then it’s hard to get your work done when

290
00:14:29,920 –> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 1: your pad levels high, So the coach is gonna be

291
00:14:32,200 –> 00:14:34,640
Speaker 1: on the guys that keep the pad levels down. And

292
00:14:34,680 –> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 1: then with nine on seven, you can really fine tune

293
00:14:38,120 –> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 1: your attack angles, hand placement, attack angles. It’s it’s good

294
00:14:41,920 –> 00:14:44,400
Speaker 1: for the d line, it’s good for the old line. Um.

295
00:14:44,400 –> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 1: It’s good for linebackers to um, you know, shoot their

296
00:14:47,320 –> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 1: hands and know what targeting when they’re trying to target,

297
00:14:49,280 –> 00:14:51,800
Speaker 1: to come off a block, disengage. And it’s good for

298
00:14:51,840 –> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 1: the running backs right because you’re gonna you’re gonna have

299
00:14:53,680 –> 00:14:56,400
Speaker 1: to show your vision closed quarters. You don’t have The

300
00:14:57,040 –> 00:15:00,160
Speaker 1: defense isn’t spread across the field. It’s closed quarters. It’s

301
00:15:00,160 –> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 1: about eight to nine yards between tackle to tackle, and

302
00:15:02,840 –> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 1: that line is moving together. Those linebackers are coming. Linebackers

303
00:15:05,920 –> 00:15:08,360
Speaker 1: are coming down field. Everybody knows he’s gonna be a run.

304
00:15:08,760 –> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 1: And you still got to use your proper attack mentality

305
00:15:13,280 –> 00:15:15,400
Speaker 1: from a running back, make sure you on your tracks.

306
00:15:15,400 –> 00:15:17,480
Speaker 1: You have a running back, coaches saying, running back, stay

307
00:15:17,520 –> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 1: on your track. You know if you post to be

308
00:15:19,360 –> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 1: keying at that left butt cheek of the tackle on

309
00:15:22,480 –> 00:15:25,000
Speaker 1: the outside zone, stay on that track until you see

310
00:15:25,040 –> 00:15:28,440
Speaker 1: some air and then you cut it up. We don’t

311
00:15:28,480 –> 00:15:31,200
Speaker 1: speak about this guy enough, but man twenty five again

312
00:15:31,280 –> 00:15:34,000
Speaker 1: and nine on seven he showed up. He’s at one

313
00:15:34,000 –> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 1: of the smallest running backs, but he was one of

314
00:15:36,680 –> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 1: the biggest impact players when it came to this. Today’s

315
00:15:40,040 –> 00:15:42,240
Speaker 1: nine on seven and you can’t find a target zone

316
00:15:42,240 –> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 1: on that guy kind of You know, Sprowls has made

317
00:15:44,080 –> 00:15:47,160
Speaker 1: a living in this league for fifteen years or whatever. Well,

318
00:15:47,200 –> 00:15:50,200
Speaker 1: first of all, he’s fast and shifty, but then there’s

319
00:15:50,240 –> 00:15:53,040
Speaker 1: no nothing, nothing to hit. You’re trying to tackle fire hydrant.

320
00:15:53,080 –> 00:15:54,680
Speaker 1: It’s not like I’ve got ooh, I got this guy.

321
00:15:54,760 –> 00:15:57,080
Speaker 1: I can’t got some leverage, but anyway, it’s fun to

322
00:15:57,080 –> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 1: watch him. The other thing with nine on seven I’ve

323
00:15:59,360 –> 00:16:02,400
Speaker 1: noticed so far, are is I know, Spags just trying

324
00:16:02,400 –> 00:16:07,240
Speaker 1: to develop a mentality with this defense where uh, you know,

325
00:16:07,560 –> 00:16:10,360
Speaker 1: it’s a it’s a persauna. But if you can’t do

326
00:16:10,400 –> 00:16:12,640
Speaker 1: it at nine on seven, I don’t think you can

327
00:16:12,680 –> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 1: do it at all anything. I know it’s a passing league,

328
00:16:15,120 –> 00:16:17,160
Speaker 1: but if you can’t play nine on seven run fits

329
00:16:17,160 –> 00:16:18,840
Speaker 1: and have a mentality, I don’t think you’re gonna be

330
00:16:18,840 –> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 1: around long. Yeah, you’re talking about stopping the run that

331
00:16:20,680 –> 00:16:22,680
Speaker 1: was something we felt like last year had the team

332
00:16:22,720 –> 00:16:25,280
Speaker 1: struggle with stopping the run. UM. So nine on seven

333
00:16:25,320 –> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 1: is where you build that mentality. You build that stop. Hey,

334
00:16:27,680 –> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 1: we know what. We know the ball is gonna get run.

335
00:16:29,600 –> 00:16:31,640
Speaker 1: They know they’re gonna try to run the ball, and

336
00:16:31,680 –> 00:16:35,080
Speaker 1: we know where the target’s gonna be. H every you know,

337
00:16:35,120 –> 00:16:37,120
Speaker 1: every blue moon, the offense does like one out of

338
00:16:37,120 –> 00:16:38,960
Speaker 1: every five or six places they throw a bootleg or

339
00:16:38,960 –> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 1: they quarterback keeps it to something to kind of keep

340
00:16:41,600 –> 00:16:44,040
Speaker 1: your honest. But the majority of the players are going

341
00:16:44,120 –> 00:16:46,560
Speaker 1: to be downhill runs right at you. UM to see

342
00:16:46,600 –> 00:16:49,040
Speaker 1: your fits, to see how you pursue, to see how

343
00:16:49,040 –> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 1: you disengage, and uh, to see if you can stop

344
00:16:51,280 –> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 1: that ball carrier and defense it is is a you

345
00:16:55,440 –> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 1: kind of hang your hat on being able to stop

346
00:16:57,000 –> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 1: to run. So you in coach Spags is trying to

347
00:16:59,480 –> 00:17:00,960
Speaker 1: set the mental but then you got coach b Enemy

348
00:17:01,000 –> 00:17:03,400
Speaker 1: trying to set the mentality too. You hear him telling

349
00:17:03,440 –> 00:17:04,880
Speaker 1: the guys, hey, man, get your ff and hands off

350
00:17:04,880 –> 00:17:07,159
Speaker 1: your hips, go outa and get win a job. You

351
00:17:07,160 –> 00:17:09,480
Speaker 1: want a job, go win it. And it’s in that

352
00:17:09,560 –> 00:17:12,400
Speaker 1: Mentality’s in that nine on seven mentality where you want

353
00:17:12,400 –> 00:17:15,000
Speaker 1: men to act like men. Rise up right. Somebody’s trying

354
00:17:15,000 –> 00:17:16,880
Speaker 1: to take the food off your table. You want to eat,

355
00:17:17,119 –> 00:17:19,720
Speaker 1: demand you’ll spote at the table, show that a guy crawled,

356
00:17:19,760 –> 00:17:23,160
Speaker 1: you know, and flick your you’ll will on somebody. It’s

357
00:17:23,240 –> 00:17:26,919
Speaker 1: never an example is as clear as nine on seven.

358
00:17:27,720 –> 00:17:30,600
Speaker 1: The other thing to me in that drill is it’s

359
00:17:30,640 –> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 1: starting to test trust, because I’ve seen that drill get

360
00:17:34,880 –> 00:17:37,280
Speaker 1: screwed up on either side of the ball because I

361
00:17:37,320 –> 00:17:39,359
Speaker 1: try to do too much or I don’t trust you

362
00:17:39,400 –> 00:17:40,800
Speaker 1: to do your job. I got to do your job

363
00:17:40,800 –> 00:17:43,520
Speaker 1: of my job. Nope, it’s trusting that you’ll do it

364
00:17:43,760 –> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 1: and I’ll do it. Same thing on the offensive side,

365
00:17:46,040 –> 00:17:48,200
Speaker 1: the offensive line, I gotta trust my comrades, but I

366
00:17:48,240 –> 00:17:50,399
Speaker 1: also have to trust the back hit the hole like

367
00:17:50,440 –> 00:17:52,480
Speaker 1: you’re saying, or do the one jump cut if we’re

368
00:17:52,520 –> 00:17:55,120
Speaker 1: running zone and you’re gonna run the cut back lane,

369
00:17:55,200 –> 00:17:57,200
Speaker 1: or trust in the backside backer is going to be there.

370
00:17:57,200 –> 00:17:59,399
Speaker 1: On the defensive side of the ball, it just seems

371
00:17:59,440 –> 00:18:02,399
Speaker 1: like that real It’s one where you can really micro

372
00:18:02,520 –> 00:18:05,160
Speaker 1: it down because we talk about trust, but in nine

373
00:18:05,200 –> 00:18:07,840
Speaker 1: on seven you could have nothing but trust. And let’s

374
00:18:07,840 –> 00:18:11,080
Speaker 1: be honest with Patrick Mahomes being the quarterback of this offense,

375
00:18:11,359 –> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 1: you gotta know the ball is gonna be aired out

376
00:18:13,080 –> 00:18:14,960
Speaker 1: all over the field, right, He’s gonna do this thing.

377
00:18:15,000 –> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 1: He’s gonna get the ball attacking all seven zones of

378
00:18:17,840 –> 00:18:21,679
Speaker 1: the past. If you can pair up even an average

379
00:18:21,760 –> 00:18:24,200
Speaker 1: ring game, but imagine that average ring game becomes a

380
00:18:24,200 –> 00:18:28,320
Speaker 1: little bit above average, top ten, top twelve Russian game

381
00:18:28,359 –> 00:18:31,639
Speaker 1: in the league. Then again, that’s when it comes video

382
00:18:31,680 –> 00:18:34,560
Speaker 1: game statistics. That’s when that score starts reaching forty and

383
00:18:34,560 –> 00:18:37,240
Speaker 1: fifty points a game. Because when you can’t when you

384
00:18:37,240 –> 00:18:38,720
Speaker 1: can’t stop a quarterback for throwing the ball, and then

385
00:18:38,840 –> 00:18:40,600
Speaker 1: you can’t stop from running. Well, that’s the only two

386
00:18:40,640 –> 00:18:42,159
Speaker 1: things they do with the ball. So it’s gonna be

387
00:18:42,200 –> 00:18:44,240
Speaker 1: a long day for any defense trying to stop this

388
00:18:44,320 –> 00:18:46,600
Speaker 1: Chiefs offense if that running game gets to go in

389
00:18:46,680 –> 00:18:48,479
Speaker 1: the way we know it can. Let me give one

390
00:18:48,520 –> 00:18:51,280
Speaker 1: example where it is real life, and it’s the AFC

391
00:18:51,440 –> 00:18:54,520
Speaker 1: Championship game. Right before the two minute warning, it’s twenty

392
00:18:54,520 –> 00:18:58,200
Speaker 1: to seventeen Patriots, and the Chiefs blew those dudes off

393
00:18:58,240 –> 00:19:01,120
Speaker 1: the ball and Damien Way goes in at twenty four

394
00:19:01,160 –> 00:19:03,520
Speaker 1: to twenty and I’m thinking we had a shot. Now

395
00:19:03,560 –> 00:19:05,639
Speaker 1: we talked about it earlier on a podcast. You can

396
00:19:05,680 –> 00:19:08,080
Speaker 1: go back and listen to what happened after that. But

397
00:19:08,200 –> 00:19:11,280
Speaker 1: the point is the Chiefs one nine on seven to

398
00:19:11,400 –> 00:19:13,720
Speaker 1: take a four point lead, not kick a field goal

399
00:19:13,760 –> 00:19:16,720
Speaker 1: at time at twenty. There we go real life third quarter.

400
00:19:16,800 –> 00:19:18,879
Speaker 1: Now we go to the fourth quarter, and this is

401
00:19:18,920 –> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 1: something interesting and you were talking about with me before

402
00:19:21,640 –> 00:19:27,639
Speaker 1: the podcast. But back to back days in pads. Okay, Saturday,

403
00:19:28,000 –> 00:19:30,160
Speaker 1: cranking it out there. I’m sorry Monday and lost track

404
00:19:30,200 –> 00:19:32,639
Speaker 1: of days. But the tweet I put out there walking

405
00:19:32,640 –> 00:19:35,560
Speaker 1: down the hill pads and then to do it back

406
00:19:35,960 –> 00:19:39,640
Speaker 1: to back, some guys and I saw this the first

407
00:19:39,680 –> 00:19:42,200
Speaker 1: day look faster in pads than they did in shorts.

408
00:19:42,240 –> 00:19:46,080
Speaker 1: It was interesting. McCole Hardman had a big day. But

409
00:19:46,200 –> 00:19:48,360
Speaker 1: the second day, to do it back to back, what

410
00:19:48,400 –> 00:19:50,639
Speaker 1: do you look for? And how revealing is it? And

411
00:19:50,960 –> 00:19:53,399
Speaker 1: the interesting point is it because I wasn’t here, Yes,

412
00:19:53,440 –> 00:19:56,840
Speaker 1: they I just had to exposure today and so there

413
00:19:56,840 –> 00:19:59,240
Speaker 1: were certain guys on the field. It just stood out

414
00:19:59,240 –> 00:20:01,600
Speaker 1: to me. Certain guys were bouncing around, certain guys had

415
00:20:01,600 –> 00:20:04,720
Speaker 1: a little a little bit of energy in their step

416
00:20:05,280 –> 00:20:07,119
Speaker 1: and they made everybody else look a little bit slow.

417
00:20:07,760 –> 00:20:09,439
Speaker 1: And what you know is it’s not a physical thing.

418
00:20:09,480 –> 00:20:11,600
Speaker 1: They always out here practicing yes day together. But some guys,

419
00:20:11,600 –> 00:20:15,040
Speaker 1: from a mental standpoint, they can train themselves to continue

420
00:20:15,040 –> 00:20:18,680
Speaker 1: to go ninety five per one hundred percent even when

421
00:20:18,680 –> 00:20:22,080
Speaker 1: they’re tired. When they’re exhausted. The legs hurt, feel that

422
00:20:22,160 –> 00:20:25,320
Speaker 1: the cement shoes, the sand kind of you feel like

423
00:20:25,359 –> 00:20:28,400
Speaker 1: you’re you got sand bags around your ankles. But you’re

424
00:20:28,400 –> 00:20:30,400
Speaker 1: able to steal force your body when you have those

425
00:20:30,400 –> 00:20:33,399
Speaker 1: four or five six reps. Hey, you’re gonna go full speed.

426
00:20:33,480 –> 00:20:35,240
Speaker 1: You’re gonna run your round full speed. You’re gonna break

427
00:20:35,240 –> 00:20:38,399
Speaker 1: on the ball. You’re not gonna be falling on the ground. Um,

428
00:20:38,520 –> 00:20:39,960
Speaker 1: that’s the thing we heard over and over today. Get

429
00:20:40,000 –> 00:20:42,280
Speaker 1: off the ground. Get off the ground. Um. Its legs

430
00:20:42,280 –> 00:20:45,520
Speaker 1: gets tired, guys, your fundamental on your technique, your balance,

431
00:20:45,560 –> 00:20:49,119
Speaker 1: all those things, your equilibrium. It pays the price. And

432
00:20:49,160 –> 00:20:51,840
Speaker 1: the guys that can battle through that from a mental standpoint,

433
00:20:52,400 –> 00:20:54,000
Speaker 1: those are the guys that in the fourth quarter and

434
00:20:54,040 –> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 1: overtime you need to be on the field. Those are

435
00:20:56,280 –> 00:20:58,720
Speaker 1: the guys late in December and then playoff football you’re

436
00:20:58,720 –> 00:21:00,880
Speaker 1: gonna need to be on your field. And so from

437
00:21:00,880 –> 00:21:04,760
Speaker 1: an evaluation standpoint, that is when you can really evaluate

438
00:21:05,040 –> 00:21:06,800
Speaker 1: who the guys you really want to be part of that.

439
00:21:06,840 –> 00:21:09,959
Speaker 1: Fifty three is day two, Day three of pads. Coming

440
00:21:10,000 –> 00:21:12,760
Speaker 1: back from a padded practice, knowing the guys are tired,

441
00:21:12,880 –> 00:21:15,720
Speaker 1: knowing they’re a little bit sore, who can still hone

442
00:21:15,800 –> 00:21:19,560
Speaker 1: in focusing, get a line assignment and still burst to

443
00:21:19,560 –> 00:21:22,320
Speaker 1: the football and see people with say Barbara Shop that, hey,

444
00:21:22,320 –> 00:21:23,880
Speaker 1: well this is in real life. If you never play

445
00:21:24,000 –> 00:21:27,080
Speaker 1: back to back games and pads, this isn’t baseball. But

446
00:21:27,760 –> 00:21:30,280
Speaker 1: of all of the things you’re mentioning the mental and

447
00:21:30,320 –> 00:21:34,960
Speaker 1: physical toughness, emotional toughness to do this and string them together.

448
00:21:35,240 –> 00:21:37,200
Speaker 1: Here’s the other thing I know this. Guys will flash,

449
00:21:37,640 –> 00:21:40,840
Speaker 1: then they disappear. But it’s the guys who don’t have

450
00:21:40,880 –> 00:21:43,640
Speaker 1: to flash. But they’re ringing the bell today, they’ll ring

451
00:21:43,640 –> 00:21:46,439
Speaker 1: it tomorrow, even if it’s pads, pads, pads. Yeah, that

452
00:21:46,520 –> 00:21:50,960
Speaker 1: mental aspect, that mental toughness takes over wrapping it out

453
00:21:50,960 –> 00:21:53,920
Speaker 1: in your mind. This mentally, don’t let your body. They

454
00:21:53,920 –> 00:21:56,880
Speaker 1: say fatigue make cowards of us. All they are certain

455
00:21:56,920 –> 00:22:00,840
Speaker 1: athletes that that’s not truth. For they brace the suck.

456
00:22:01,240 –> 00:22:03,920
Speaker 1: They want that tough. They want that feeling of being

457
00:22:03,960 –> 00:22:06,560
Speaker 1: exhausted so they can force themselves to push themselves through it.

458
00:22:06,880 –> 00:22:09,480
Speaker 1: Because then when things get tough, when things start getting

459
00:22:10,640 –> 00:22:14,400
Speaker 1: the scoreboard don’t look like it should and the first

460
00:22:14,440 –> 00:22:15,879
Speaker 1: day they half didn’t go the way it’s supposed to.

461
00:22:16,240 –> 00:22:18,640
Speaker 1: You don’t have to worry about that guy coming out

462
00:22:18,800 –> 00:22:20,920
Speaker 1: at halftime and that you know, not giving it all.

463
00:22:21,240 –> 00:22:25,240
Speaker 1: He’s conditioned himself to. He only goes one way. It’s

464
00:22:25,320 –> 00:22:27,800
Speaker 1: all out, balls against the wall. He gives one hundred

465
00:22:27,800 –> 00:22:30,399
Speaker 1: percent effort. He’s there for you first quarter like he

466
00:22:30,480 –> 00:22:33,520
Speaker 1: is in the fourth quarter. You’re not worrying about him

467
00:22:33,560 –> 00:22:36,160
Speaker 1: tapping out. And that’s what training camps about. You want

468
00:22:36,160 –> 00:22:39,639
Speaker 1: to build that mentality, that trust, that brotherhood and know, hey, man,

469
00:22:39,680 –> 00:22:43,159
Speaker 1: I got your back, I’m covering your your six is

470
00:22:43,200 –> 00:22:45,920
Speaker 1: that military term, but I got your backside. You ain’t

471
00:22:45,920 –> 00:22:49,000
Speaker 1: get worried about this. You look forward, handle your business

472
00:22:49,040 –> 00:22:52,040
Speaker 1: and I got your back and the back to back pads.

473
00:22:52,520 –> 00:22:55,240
Speaker 1: That’s where you found out the men from the boys.

474
00:22:55,600 –> 00:22:59,080
Speaker 1: Here’s what fascination at Andy Reid. We know he’s cutting edge,

475
00:22:59,160 –> 00:23:02,960
Speaker 1: he’s thinking of stuff that nobody’s planning for right but

476
00:23:03,040 –> 00:23:06,240
Speaker 1: in his training regiment. I’ve had talks how to talk

477
00:23:06,280 –> 00:23:08,800
Speaker 1: the other day with him about it. He uses an

478
00:23:08,800 –> 00:23:13,639
Speaker 1: eighteenth century and a nineteenth century military technique that was

479
00:23:13,680 –> 00:23:19,760
Speaker 1: in Europe, where it is a method of kind of

480
00:23:19,880 –> 00:23:22,399
Speaker 1: varying speeds. You hit it, you hit it, you hit it,

481
00:23:22,480 –> 00:23:25,120
Speaker 1: you go medium, then you rest and then but you’re

482
00:23:25,160 –> 00:23:28,120
Speaker 1: ready when you get That’s why he gets such great starts,

483
00:23:28,160 –> 00:23:31,240
Speaker 1: I think. I mean, other than the twenty fourteen season,

484
00:23:31,320 –> 00:23:33,160
Speaker 1: every year has been off to where a good start.

485
00:23:33,200 –> 00:23:35,200
Speaker 1: I guess the one in five wasn’t great in fifteen.

486
00:23:35,240 –> 00:23:39,159
Speaker 1: But the point is he’s got a training regiment that

487
00:23:40,240 –> 00:23:43,280
Speaker 1: is again it’s so old school, it’s new school. But

488
00:23:44,160 –> 00:23:46,120
Speaker 1: how much is he trying to see guys who can

489
00:23:46,160 –> 00:23:48,959
Speaker 1: handle it? Because this is all calculated by him. This

490
00:23:49,000 –> 00:23:50,560
Speaker 1: is a go wow, let’s go pads to day and

491
00:23:50,600 –> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 1: see what we got. He was thinking about this all

492
00:23:52,840 –> 00:23:55,240
Speaker 1: the way back in February and March. That’s where I’m

493
00:23:55,240 –> 00:23:57,480
Speaker 1: fascinated with this guy. Yeah, and I think it is.

494
00:23:57,560 –> 00:24:00,879
Speaker 1: It trickles down through the offensive coinity defensive cordet. You

495
00:24:00,960 –> 00:24:03,560
Speaker 1: just when you’re at training camp, listen, open up your ears,

496
00:24:03,560 –> 00:24:05,760
Speaker 1: make sure you just don’t get mesmerized by what’s going

497
00:24:05,760 –> 00:24:08,200
Speaker 1: on the field. Listen to coach b enemy, Listen to

498
00:24:08,240 –> 00:24:11,520
Speaker 1: coach spags, Listen to the position coaches. Go fast, go fast,

499
00:24:11,520 –> 00:24:14,080
Speaker 1: you’re him say it over, go finish, go fast, Let’s go,

500
00:24:14,160 –> 00:24:15,600
Speaker 1: let’s go, let’s go, let’s go. We gotta go, we

501
00:24:15,640 –> 00:24:17,800
Speaker 1: gotta go. You know, in the huddle, out the huddle,

502
00:24:17,840 –> 00:24:20,920
Speaker 1: off the field, next, next squad up, you know, next drill.

503
00:24:21,440 –> 00:24:24,480
Speaker 1: They want them to be pushing themselves to go see

504
00:24:24,520 –> 00:24:27,439
Speaker 1: how fast you can process the information. Because if you

505
00:24:27,440 –> 00:24:29,840
Speaker 1: can overload your system and still get it done here

506
00:24:29,840 –> 00:24:32,160
Speaker 1: in training camp, when you’re tired and when it’s back

507
00:24:32,200 –> 00:24:34,919
Speaker 1: to back and you’re your legs are tired and you’re exhausted,

508
00:24:35,480 –> 00:24:38,480
Speaker 1: game day becomes easy. And then the coaches can really

509
00:24:38,520 –> 00:24:41,240
Speaker 1: start throwing things at you and making adjustments, making changes

510
00:24:41,480 –> 00:24:45,160
Speaker 1: because they’ve seen how you face adversity and overcome it. Well,

511
00:24:45,200 –> 00:24:47,239
Speaker 1: now that trust factor comes and they trust you can

512
00:24:47,280 –> 00:24:49,680
Speaker 1: handle it, they’re able to move on to the next

513
00:24:49,720 –> 00:24:52,000
Speaker 1: phase of things. And so, like you said, Andy is

514
00:24:52,040 –> 00:24:56,280
Speaker 1: using something from the archives of military from the eighteenth century,

515
00:24:56,840 –> 00:25:00,439
Speaker 1: but it’s it’s it’s proven today to still work, and so, uh,

516
00:25:00,560 –> 00:25:02,879
Speaker 1: you know, he knows he’s forgetting more. He’s forgotten more

517
00:25:02,880 –> 00:25:05,280
Speaker 1: football than Avenue in my life. So we take our

518
00:25:05,280 –> 00:25:08,359
Speaker 1: hats off the coach. Coach agree, and he’s strategic and

519
00:25:08,359 –> 00:25:10,280
Speaker 1: he loves to build tough teams, and he is tough.

520
00:25:10,320 –> 00:25:12,080
Speaker 1: People look at him. He’s got a nice guy and

521
00:25:12,400 –> 00:25:14,919
Speaker 1: well he’s grandpa. You know, he’s got great grandkids and

522
00:25:14,920 –> 00:25:17,680
Speaker 1: a family and stuff. I’m telling you, the dude is tough,

523
00:25:18,160 –> 00:25:21,600
Speaker 1: and he eats up these pad practices. He’s seeing everything

524
00:25:22,000 –> 00:25:25,159
Speaker 1: and it’s, uh, it is fun to watch it. Final

525
00:25:25,200 –> 00:25:28,399
Speaker 1: thing as we move on here at training camp is

526
00:25:28,440 –> 00:25:30,440
Speaker 1: because there will be days in shells. Then then they’ll

527
00:25:30,440 –> 00:25:33,600
Speaker 1: have a day off mandatory. But how much is building

528
00:25:33,680 –> 00:25:36,160
Speaker 1: one week on the next important for these guys, particularly

529
00:25:36,200 –> 00:25:39,119
Speaker 1: when you go back because here’s the deal. You’re in pads,

530
00:25:39,119 –> 00:25:41,800
Speaker 1: you’re in pads, whoop shells, day off, you go right

531
00:25:41,840 –> 00:25:44,840
Speaker 1: back to pass. How about building on a week to week? Well,

532
00:25:44,880 –> 00:25:47,760
Speaker 1: ain’t no warming up, right, Uh, it’s pedal to the metal.

533
00:25:47,800 –> 00:25:50,080
Speaker 1: When when when, when it’s trying to put those pads on,

534
00:25:50,840 –> 00:25:53,280
Speaker 1: I would I’m I feel sorry for the guy who

535
00:25:53,320 –> 00:25:55,200
Speaker 1: thinks that there’s gonna be a period or two of uh,

536
00:25:56,000 –> 00:25:58,840
Speaker 1: let’s ease into this thing. When the pads are on

537
00:25:58,920 –> 00:26:01,000
Speaker 1: and you walk down that hill, you better be lathered

538
00:26:01,040 –> 00:26:03,640
Speaker 1: up ready to go because they jump right into seven

539
00:26:03,720 –> 00:26:06,480
Speaker 1: on seven, nine on the one on one. Uh. These

540
00:26:06,480 –> 00:26:11,320
Speaker 1: are contract contact, high intensity drills, and like I said,

541
00:26:11,320 –> 00:26:14,200
Speaker 1: you gotta be ready to roll. So whether you’re coming

542
00:26:14,200 –> 00:26:17,160
Speaker 1: back from a day off, lick your wounds, get your rest.

543
00:26:18,119 –> 00:26:19,800
Speaker 1: But when you wake up that morning, you know those

544
00:26:19,800 –> 00:26:22,240
Speaker 1: pads going on, you better be rearing with that. The

545
00:26:22,400 –> 00:26:25,720
Speaker 1: RPM’s repped real high, because it’s gonna be. It’s gonna be.

546
00:26:25,760 –> 00:26:27,080
Speaker 1: It’s gonna be. It’s gonna be one of those days

547
00:26:27,119 –> 00:26:29,600
Speaker 1: where he’s saying, you run around like that like the

548
00:26:29,600 –> 00:26:33,560
Speaker 1: grounds on fire. Well, we’re gonna stay on fire with
