[0:01]" I hurt. -- very quickly. What is. How different is your week down there with getting ready for Matt Cassell --"
[0:17]" That we haven't really dramatically shifted we. Obviously things. Harder to change in terms of the style. Discovered just -- And you know really replace some of player top caliber. But I think of that offense particularly is loaded and very efficient. I thought that that came in and did a great -- in the 51 yarder from backed up -- How confident they are into him and that. Does some of austerity. Freight came -- what quarterback rating but that didn't really good job at knowing that from being there. I know. I'll parties worked -- game it is role as a back up so. I certainly will be extremely efficient."
[1:08]" Eric you have to hear your offense. Toward what Brett Favre can do what is Brett Favre have to hear his game to what you're offenses."
[1:19]" Well what we try to do each region is is. Be able to play or strikes and be able to. Attack our policy just sit and one things. We focus worked with Brett. Is it trying to incorporate. All the all the different things -- we'd like to do in terms of going to a game plan and obviously he was behind. When he came in terms of the overall playbook. But he never use the whole playbook going at any given week anyways. Have any focus on the placing your Iran that we can. And there's so there's -- some give and take in terms of terminology. But. It's been positives. There's nobody goes. There are ex players certain. And other teams that we need to change some of the wording anyways. And then that was something that was was lined up to do. Prior that started this season."
[2:13]" So layman's terms is basically a mixing a philosophies your philosophy goes toward him a little bit his luster he has to go toward you."
[2:21]" Ed and the one thing that we would -- as many years as breast plate. He's pretty much seen all the different concepts. They're fiercely aggressive before past. I mean she's he's ready so long bet that the worst may be a little bit different but she's been exposed to a lot of you know a lot of things that we do -- that's -- 90% of thing to do RBI and a few things certain that are a little bit different and hardly call and I get to it."
[2:48]" About the chemistry. Within -- Coles. With with Laveranues having missed a lot of time and we only had one attention -- in the opener how's that working."
[2:58]" It's it's spend I think there are there relationships Pittsburgh has guys here has been been really good then. Obviously looked very sort of very close to -- them. You know I respect that and Edberg respect that but Laveranues could have been fantastic -- It's not a function so well. You know -- comparing the two quarterbacks it's it's. -- he's been extremely. Good work and -- spread -- as we get them on the field more more a victory. The timing get pretty beat up until chemistry will continue to improve as well."
[3:39]" When it's when it comes to working with Brett what's been the biggest surprise for you."
[3:44]" I didn't I didn't have any. -- expectations go into it we've respected in my tremendously as a player didn't know that well. As a person got a little one of the things that's been very impressive is. His approach and his daily approach. He studies. These studies. Extremely hard and you know a good example is -- achievement but to -- special -- last week to win the game. And then the next they ask Brett what they weren't very little rattled off. Without any problem cute guys that outside runs a reverse is there any of those types of plays he wants to get out front and lead the pack. She works of the -- To make sure that they're given the best look possible. -- get together with the defensive. She's not. You know solely for some offense -- He's just down to earth guy didn't. First social -- present day. It's it's easy to understand what he's been so successful for so long it's such a good teammate."
[4:53]" And -- look offensive line work and you guys spend a lot of money on as the offseason happy with. When Alan and -- national."
[5:02]" I think I think gel and Damien has ever -- great I think they've been great. Both in terms of what they personally. Can do. Other field but also. In terms of their contributions in the rural they're war weird. I -- our younger players the way that they've they've best. Talent got that voted. As one of our captains. Which -- indication of his relationship to the rest of the team it's pretty hard thing to do. That the bill Callahan has done reference as well he's. -- and head coach collegiate coaching college football. Offensive coordinator and he sees things. -- big picture perspective. It is a great technician. I would be offensive line on the little details and then all those things have special up on the field."
[5:55]" Without Brady being aired does that at all change how you defend hostages he might it's a symbiotic relationship."
[6:03]" But tell you what losses shooters have to cover regardless Serb who sort of fallen. Best example there's there's a secure guard they cut. So there wet -- packed up and he's. He's explosive explosive player that. If anything it is that -- Avant he had to guard great chemistry but -- can't imagine he's going to be that much less explosive now."
[6:34]" What. Dwight Lowry the rookie. You -- He's going to start again in week two and how how the greatest performance and we want."
[6:46]" I thought he did I thought he did a really good job and I think that he has a very good perspective on things. In terms. Understanding that this is a higher level but it into the day. It's just football does things -- he's been doing his whole career. Extremely low and and having -- Start as a rookie the end that's topic played much as she didn't. Early and other rookies that. I've been a part of it started revisit things like that there's a lot of similar characteristics in terms of the the approach to road to the game."
[7:24]" Eric do you do you take anything from having I've been around castle when you when he was a rookie in May be Dave on having been around them for a couple years."
[7:35]" There's there's some. Familiarity there but guys guys changing guys. Grow they've developed and I think you're good example. You know Toms stroke from his rookie year. -- it is check in here and maybe even Brett Ratliff here who really struggled as a rookie. Calling a play in the huddle and at what he did get a play out usually probably slept in about a year later. Jeez you'd like a different and I think that. That's true with a lot of players -- if you just keep war and edit and and plugging away. There's going to be tremendous -- and let it rest world quite a bit."
[8:17]" Yeah gross Eric. What kind of gross receipts from from Vernon Gholston from the pre season so for now."
[8:24]" Well Burton Burton was a little bit behind the eight ball because of the NCAA rule she couldn't cover until it -- class graduated so he missed. Almost all these deals -- and then you -- a little bit late coming into camps and missed some time there. -- and I think that's ordered Dustin is Dustin Keller is. Further had -- is because pure reps and experience. The one thing that I like -- in this she's building and each region. Icy -- real progress and it's going to take out with with any rookie. And especially when they're making a position change from having and the dirt says it says Serbia."
[9:07]" What does Chris Jenkins. Alter your run defense."
[9:13]" Chris had a really nice job against whoever she's. He's a big powerful read that State's athletic and into the race shop finishing up plays. I was very happy were reported in the middle just passing game that I'd also. So living. Some of the things that we talked about in terms with that then try to do against us. That is aware that those players as happened was well."
[9:41]" You can't from a team that was for a twelve last year and is in the same city is the Super Bowl champions. Suddenly -- Hall of Fame quarterback and having the best player arguably in football in your division out of the picture now. It's pretty meteoric rise in terms of how people perceive you from the outside -- you have to. Addressed that with it seemed that talk about how expectations of brand stuff so much you deal done."
[10:08]" No no order of things that we. We consistory talk Barton. Did -- first hear it talked about it my second here. They talked about it my thirteen years. It's it's not really about the external factors in external expectations that is. I appreciate did slightly and I appreciate all those things. But what matters is what we do collectively and I've seen that over and over again. So much time. In the NFL where. Expectations have no correlation to its results but what does that correlation has its focus or didn't and preparation."
[10:50]" You guys take from the end of that game against Miami and being able kind of hold off Pennington the end."
[10:57]" There there -- a lot of things -- That we need to improve and I was pleased with obviously very pleased with the win. But there -- a lot of things situationally that we could do better and that's always say -- consistent challenged. When you win to make sure that. You don't -- over the things that need to get taken care of just like when you lose you don't harp on things more. And they need to you are done and keep saying it is. It's consistency and then getting the corrections. Made sure that the next -- better prepared in this situation tomorrow."
[11:40]" Things there we can certainly just."
