Husky Football Fall Practice 2024 interview with Will Rogers Part 1

oh yeah i' let him know i' let him know this is this is this is slight so feels good out here weather's been good and just excited you see any Gators out there alongside the field what's that we got Gators out there you know oh are you being for real how add that offensive line just getting to know some of the guys get everything lined up the off I mean it's been an adjustment just because of the transfers we had come in after Spring ball so I mean just getting to know those guys um um you know spending spending time with them outside of the facility and things like that was really big for us and like I said we did a lot of that in the summer so it's been good to be out here with these guys and you know get the get the whole group together uh out on the field and just try and get better every day how do you feel your communication with the receiver uh I think it's been good I mean I thought we thought we need to correct some things from today kind of a little sloppy at the end and you see that with first couple days in Fall Camp you know guys getting tired you know guys don't have their legs right in shape yet so uh think can be a little off but uh I think it's been good you know obviously think we have a long way to go but I think we're in a good spot right now just need to keep working every day and when you decided to to play your last year somewhere else what did you envision what did what did you want to accomplish that you felt like you needed a a new school to accomplish uh just go somewhere where you know I can play play good for one year and then play in the NFL so that's what I'm trying to do here how much different is it uh fall camp with all those extra linemen now that you've got you know the the transfers and the fresh where you had like eight guys one day in the spring I mean we can just do so much more at practice you know we're actually you know talking about run schemes and things like that and we're able to you know uh go against Scouts and you know go go live against each other and things like that so it's really big to have the whole group out there uh for fall count what are the some of the communication challenges with so many new guys uh I mean I say the biggest thing is not just new guys but a whole new scheme uh so I mean everybody learning the scheme everybody coming to together uh you know and just doing their job on that specific play so uh kind of a combination between the new guys and a new scheme is uh probably the biggest challenge it sounded like maybe you're a little upset during that first install period today did you think the offense responded and kind of pulling the G it up a little bit Yeah know I wasn't upset I was just trying to just push the tempo and you know Drive guys you know we have we have off day tomorrow so a lot of time guys are just uh trying to come out here and uh you know not not not get by but you know a lot of guys were thinking about that off day tomorrow and things like that so uh as a quarterback you know just trying to drive the tempo uh trying to get guys going and you know trying to uh have a good day of practice three practices in where do you see the most room for improvement for this team that's a good question uh I mean probably like from a communication standpoint like I was talking about you know I mean we're three practices in you know we're still installing offensively uh and I'm sure defensively as well but uh from a communication standpoint of just learning the scheme uh communicating the scheme you know talking to the receivers tell them what I'm seeing you know all that all that fun stuff so uh practice three you know probably just you know getting on the same page with everybody and communicating and be able to execute a play it's a lot of relationships to build in a short period of time is there is there one or two that's kind of closer than the others uh I mean I wouldn't say anybody just like closer you know obviously you know it's a challenge for me you know cuz the quarterback's kind of got to kind of be the voice in the locker room you know had such a short time period do it and it's kind of like the weird thing of like you know I don't want to step on anybody's toes or anything like that I mean this these team just played the national championship so it's kind of a weird situation for me uh but you know I try and just you know be the hardest worker every single day and let let guys see that and I try to do that uh in Winter workout so I mean guys like you know guard uh Bruner Drew Fowler uh camon Surman some of those guys have been really good for me to you know be around you know they've been here for a while been in the program for a while so it's good to be uh good to be around those guys how hard is it complete a pass against the what's that how hard is it to complete a pass against the pr seems like he's really oh no he's done really well he's done really well I'm really impressed with him uh you know played a
