Back to work

how's fall Camp been so far for you oh it's been great it's been great um you I didn't get to go through spring this past year and so been able to be back out here with the guys and um just play the game I love again it's awesome does it feel any different to you or you feel just like you were last year a little bit I think it feels I think you know I think the older you get you know the tougher it can be um you know just get older get more eggs more p but I think definitely this year I feel more thankful to be playing football than I have in a long time um especially after it gets taken away from you all you want to do is go play so I'm having I'm having a great time out here what's it been like rotating through Personnel in the offense and obviously more running backs contend with couple wide receivers how have you guys kind of balancing that and how was that different from last year uh I don't think it's too different I think you know if anything we just have more weapons you know with guys like Shard coming in uh hibner is going to be a great compliment to RJ in the tight end room um and I think you know this year more than any year I've been here I have more chemistry with my receivers um we have just felt every weapon at receiver coming back and um I feel really good about our timing and and the way those guys are playing what's the room like obviously you know Kevin you and Kevin have starters experience kri got chance to run with the TW in scen just looks that that Dynamic I'm like with with you guys yeah you know Iron sharp iron I think we all three of us can play at a really high level and um you know there's different aspects of each other's game that we can that we can take from each other and learn from each other and um I think we have a we have a great chemistry between us and we make each other better every day how has that chemistry developed the wide receivers that might be a little different than last year with you guys and and how much does it help having all of that group back pretty much and and what did you see from them and the work that they put in this offseason you know I think I just have a really good feel for how each of those guys play um more so than last year you know last year was Hud's first year Kean Melo um those guys first year getting to play with them and um they all work your ass off this offseason and so um I have a great feel for how they're going to run their routes the different nuances they bring to the table that make them special and um you we we can earn defenses in a lot of different ways because they all have their own little unique thing that makes them a really good receiver how much have you guys been experimenting with the inh helmet technology I think communication technology I think I saw it during one of your practices what's that it's been really cool it's been really cool kind of feel like Aaron Rogers is going like this listening to coach um no but it's been really cool and um it's great having coach Lashley in my ear uh especially if you know with situational talk like hey here's what we're thinking on third down um stuff like that and um it definitely makes my job easier it's pretty cool yeah when you're when you're an offense that moves pretty quickly you know what do you feel like do you feel like that's important to kind of give you a good advantage next year absolutely yeah you know Tempo Tempo is our bread and butter and um just having an extra mode of communication um definitely makes that a little bit easier what have you seen from Kevin specifically and have you seen you had Tak forward since those last couple games last year how much do you think that helped him coming into this season yeah Kevin's a beast I think you know we we've all seen um from his first day here how special he is and how good of a quarterback he he is and um you know you guys saw against T Lane he stepped into the game like he'd been the start of the whole year so like I said before iron sharpens iron I think me and Kevin both make each other better every day and um he's he's he's really good is that tough to is that tough to go from kind of being in that spot that he was in last year having a step in and then knowing he's going to kind of go back to the role he was in before how do you kind of work with a younger guy through that do you talk to him at all about that and kind of getting ready for his time um I mean we're we're good friends so I mean obviously we come out here and we compete and make each other better every day but um you know Kevin's got a great great head on his shoulders he's one of the most humble kids we ever met so um he's definitely not a guy that's going to be seeking out attention look at me he's he's a very low-key hard worker and um I know whatever role he steps into this year he's going to be ready have you seen kri PR you know this past year and uh especially working with Coach King you know I know you've obviously talked about you know what your relationship has been like with him but do you know anything about their relationship um what you said with Coach King and with Coach King and P yeah I mean you know we we all have a great relationship with um he's been he's been awesome having him as a quarterback coach this year and uh krick's a baller you know I think just like I said about the receivers I think in the quarterback room we all have our own little nuances to the game that make us special and um kri can just flat out rip the ball you know he's he's he's a guy that's going to go in there um you know no pressure on his shoulders not thinking too much step into any situation and just rip the ball so um gic's a really good player and just like Kevin I know whatever role he steps into this year coach King is heavily involved in practice you know racing you guys down the field and making some of the same throws as you guys not many quarterback coaches in the country can say that so what can you say about him and helping you along in your development yeah you know he's um one it makes practice really fun because you know it's not just a quarterback coach that's just preaching to you and giving you instructions he's stepping into the drill and showing you how a former Heisman Contender actually does it so um coach King makes practice really fun I've learned a lot from him just from uh you know he gives a lot of real game advice we go into meetings and it's hardly any what we call board talk where we're um you know this is what it looks like on paper it's like he's been in those big time real situations to where he knows what it's like to actually step into a quarterback's perspective um and I could be Happ here to have d as our coach
