 What's one of the things or if you could sum up Mike Brable's coaching style in a sentence or two What would you say it is? Wow Expecting right after that something about the quarterbacks Sorry not that didn't mean to throw you a curve ball. I mean I'm glad It'd be hard to just do sentences because I think he's passionate about people He's passionate about this football team. There's nothing more important to him than this team other than his family He's a tremendous leader like he's as good a leader as I've ever been around Players respect him because he's done it. He holds everyone accountable He encourages the players to hold the other their teammates accountable. He's all about the team and it kind of really reflects in Kind of the outcomes that we like to get where you got a bunch of guys that play hard that love football and That's how he is, you know, he played hard and he loves football and Guys that play here kind of share the same philosophy All right, thanks. I'll give you I'll give you a quarterback question now How much how much has Ryan progressed from the time that he got here last year to now It seems like he's really on the same page last year. It was with AJ He seemed to really get on the same page with him quickly, but in camp It seems like that's expanded that he's just as comfortable with John new and with Corey and with Adam as he was as he Was with AJ all throughout Yeah, you know, he you know coming into year two obviously it helps, you know You've got some familiarity with the guys you've gone to battle with and and a lot of those players are all back And that certainly helps and you know, they maintain those relationships in the offseason As best they could under the circumstances and And to come into the same system with the same people will certainly help Ryan and helps his teammates Thanks Hey Pat Wondering if you could talk a little bit about Trevor Simeon, I know he's been here just a few days and and I guess there's probably some expected rust Wonder if you've seen a bit of that and if it's If it's going away if you feel like you're seeing, you know improvements on a regular basis Yeah, Trevor's solid, you know, he's he started some games in this league You know live the life as a starter and then in Denver for a couple years and you know the unfortunate injury last year And I think it was week one And so yeah, there's been a lot of downtime, but he's a pro, you know, he's stepped right in here We've spent a lot of time meeting together He's able to handle a lot of information And both in a bulk capacity and really kind of died is digesting it He's done a good job of that so far and it's kind of just stepped in and and done a good job for us so far Okay, and then kind of a random follow but in regards to Cole McDonald You know, do you ever stay in touch with a guy like that and in his situation and you know Maybe do you think down the line is could a you know a practice squad situation develop for him? Yeah, but I talked to Cole for a long time after he was released before he left We had a good conversation. He was in a good place with it. And I haven't talked to him since And I don't know what happened down the line, you know, who knows I just know that Jay Robb and very just always make decisions personalize in the best interests of the team And you know Cole did some good things here and but we've just moved on from him at this point What's up coach in regards to to Tannehill and you know, you've spent time with him over the time that he's been here How would you say he's progressed as a leader? Well on this team? Yeah, you know, he was last year when he stepped in he kind of wanted to perform and not talk as much because he was coming in as a backup and Now this year. He's able to really kind of you know, really fully be himself as far as that goes as far as being more vocal and communicating with his teammates About what the expectations are on a play or a particular route So it's really been kind of seamless and it's been good, you know, like I've told you guys before you want your You want your coat your quarterback to be an extension of coach on the field and certainly Ryan kind of fits that bill And then as a guy who played receiver before Do you think that's kind of unique and has a lot to do with his ability to you know, tell these guys, you know To be more Definitive on a route or break here or break there. Do you think that's something that's an added plus for him? Yeah, I mean it couldn't hurt right, you know, like I know by personally it was never receiver, but like You know, I've thrown a few footballs in my life But playing receiver and then going on the side of it's got to help right you can help identify and with those guys About spacing and how do you know where the fuel is working on both sides of it? So I think it probably has helped them. We haven't talked about that a whole lot. It's good question for Ryan Eric Hey Pat wanted to ask you about Logan and sort of how he reacted to the signing of Trevor I'm curious if you've seen that at all like a fire under him Maybe is there even more urgency than there was before I'm just curious how he reacted to that and just his Paths forward after that. It was pretty much the same, you know, he's a real mentally tough guy, you know Like I've told you guys before we've challenged him in a lot of ways and he's always responded well So I think it affected him at all But that would be a good question for him. I don't want to speak for him But it doesn't appear to be any kind of change in him Hey Pat Wanted to ask you about the the play Yesterday with the 17 seconds left on the two minute that was like the Deshaun Watson play from 2018 How do you guys break that down after Ryan kind of holds it too long and throws it time expires? What's the what's the lesson there? What do you want them to do there? Yeah, well that was you know, that's why you do it those Create those situations in practice to kind of to work on them. That was a teaching moment For all of us. So you try to goes very well as a great job putting us in situations that can be tough and random and in practice and then you know If you don't respond exactly the way you should and some of those situations are real tough Then a great Opportunities for learning and that's the way we look at it and that was a good opportunity for learning For Ryan all of us Third year together for you guys AFC Championship game appearance now going through this pandemic craziness How tighten it a staff are you guys as a result of of all this? Yeah, I love our stuff. I mean I Feel really fortunate to have the guys around me that I do it's You know, we have a lot of guys that that obviously they work hard, but I think there's a lot of trust We see things. I think with the same set of eyes And we're led by our leader who you know is a tremendous leader and cares about people And he's put people in here that you know really respect each other and You know, we're all kind of the head coaches of our rooms is what coach for able says when you give people that kind of Responsibility you tend to really take that on and take it seriously and we're a collaborative group And I feel fortunate to be a part of you around all these guys are great guys appreciate you Luke Hey coach appreciate your time I was wondering if you'd expound a little bit on maybe your evaluation of Cole McDonald from the first week or so practices What did you see from him and what was he able to put out on the field that you saw in the limited time you had? Yeah, you know, he makes a lot of significant changes There were some mechanical things that we wanted to work on and he was real open to that did a good job of that There was some progress there But again, you know, he's not here right now. I really like Cole and You know, we'll see what happens down the line, but again all those decisions really and You know are made in the best interest of the team and You know, we'll miss Cole, but we all move on You all have talked a lot about the competition You like to see really at all positions, but you talked about the quarterback position being one of those at the backup spot Or have you so far through can't sort of seen what you want to and what you like in terms of the competition? And I guess now Logan and Trevor being able to bounce off of each other and compete for that spot Yeah, you always want, you know competition, you know, our guys competed everything like not just on the field We we played a little game this morning. They're competing pretty hard. So I Am pleased with the way they compete, you know, and the expectations of them is high It's always high and really they're self-motivated in that manner You know, it's a good group. It's a good group of three guys here that Are self-motivated to do to be competitive and really led by Ryan So, yeah, I've been pleased so far Kyle You know Logan Have his first high school coach moved him to running backs We had to transfer and then beat out a guy there He goes to Toledo after trying so hard to get people to notice him at the college level and they bring in a guy from Alabama Who beats him out twice and he's the third guy taken on his AAF team? And he's kind of hanging around your guys. His high school coach said he tells him all the time. You're like a bad rash You won't you won't go away How has he how has that rash stuck to you guys? What is it that he keeps doing and What do you see in him? Maybe in the experience as he's gone through in the past having to scratch his way to stick around all these Other places that have served him. Yeah, it's made him really mentally tough Which is a trait that you have to have when you play Quarterback really any position in the NFL just playing in the NFL, but as a quarterback, you have to be really mentally tough There's a lot of different things that come at you Obviously on the field But our hits you from off the field, you know, it's a critical position That's criticized and he's really battled and earned everything. He's he's had to get over the years and all those things you said are you know Kind of make who he is now, which is a tough competitive guy who works extremely hard And now he's put himself in a position to compete You know to be our backup and you know the rest of man's we've seen Jim Hey Pat, you touched on Logan a little bit earlier just about him being mentally tough I mean, how has he been during the course of camp in your mind? And when you do bring somebody else in it is does that force a guy to rise occasion even more if you don't have to say anything to him Yeah, I mean It hasn't doesn't phase looking, you know, that's that's not his makeup and he understands it And really, you know, it's pro football. So things come at you see it Things come down with Logan. So things come at you. All right, see you Trevor. Sorry guys He's mentally tough Jim I'm not concerned about, you know, when you bring in another guy and how he's gonna react like Trevor step in the room He's a really good guy and like I told you guys in the past like we had a real collaborative room We worked together we help each other out and we go out and we compete and when we make mistakes We help each other and we do something great with compliment each other So and then you know, the rest kind of shakes out. It's a hard position, but and so It's important to be and important to the guys in our room that we have a real good rapport and collaboration for the good of the team and So it's been good Hey, you mentioned about Ryan being one of the most competitive guys you ever been around me What does that show up? I mean you can see it in his emotion, but is that just little games you do to the side or? Everything like he you know, he doesn't like make mistakes. He doesn't you know, let him weigh him down, but what he makes is a mistake You know, I gotta leave him alone for a second because he's so he's his heart's just critic and he likes to win at everything we do He's good natured about it, but he doesn't want to win. So You can just tell and he's competitive. He wants to win. He's driven and cares and It just kind of shows up in a lot of different things, you know on a daily basis when you're around someone so much It just comes up. It's in a good positive way Last question Michael Hogan Hey Pat appreciate your time How much do you think two veterans like Ryan and Trevor can help Logan Woodside grown and prove even more? I Think whenever you sit surround yourself With a better, you know veterans that have been playing and know the game It only helps like I've told you guys before like we have a lot of dialogues and daily philosophically about football playing a position and Spent a lot of time in here doing that. So they can't hurt, you know, and it really helps that Trevor's like a really good dude. So Then I'm glad he's here, you know glad he's here Logan's glad he's here honestly and so is Ryan's it's a good room
