00:00Good morning, coach. How are you doing? Well, gentlemen, how was your week? Uh, I was a

00:20little bit sick. Uh, choppy was very happy this week, I think, um, over some different

00:26results that came in on right. Tennessee number seven, baby. Oh, that's right. I was

00:31thinking Tuesday night, but they look great. Yeah. Yeah. Uh, coach, early. Happy birthday.

00:36RJ forgot it last year. We did not want to make the same mistake on Sunday. So a happy

00:41early birthday. I would have been fine with some more forgetfulness. That would have been

00:46okay by me. You didn't want to acknowledge it. Are you one of those guys? Like, don't

00:50get me anything. I don't, don't, don't make it a big deal. Exactly. No, I mean, I'm 61

00:57years old. I mean, I got, you know, and I think the part of having daughters, you get

01:01used to birthday weeks. Uh, sometimes it's a birthday month. I'm just trying, I just

01:07try to balance it out. Uh, coach, I've always wondered this with a new player that you acquire

01:14like Jonathan Mingo. How does it work in terms of like playbook versus just plays? Is he

01:20going to go into the huddle? You guys have your verbiage and someone tells him you running

01:26out, you run a go, you run a slant. How does that work with a new player? Uh, that's an

01:31excellent question because that's really what you, you have to find a happy medium. Uh,

01:35you know, I just, when, you know, these, these things happen at this point in the season,

01:40uh, you, you hope there is some carry over, uh, from language from past the experiences,

01:46you know, obviously he's been in a number of different systems the last couple of years.

01:50So, uh, now, you know, so now he has a new language. So just trying to find a common

01:55area of, you know, his experience from a language standpoint, uh, the routes, you know, he's

02:02definitely has run, you know, most of the routes that we run, but it's just that, you

02:07know, it's the details within a rocket, everybody runs a little differently and, you know, specifically

02:11how it fits at the quarterback's footwork. So you kind of just have to kind of work through

02:14that on the side after practice, uh, we've integrated them into practice just to try

02:19to get them into the flow of the, the huddle and give them certain plays. Uh, but it's,

02:24yeah, it's definitely a process. And then that's what it is. You've got to try to find

02:28a package of things that you, that you can put them into to get started. And then obviously

02:34there's going to be some communication, uh, by his teammates in the huddle.
