 to be better in that regard. All the steps, just timing, trust, all that stuff. Just to make those plays and execute them like he's saying. For you, the question was asked by Arthur earlier. It's like, do you have to talk to Drake about lack of targets in the last couple of games? Is that something that you have to talk to him about? He said no, that you understand how the game is played. Is that something that you feel like is accurate that he said that? Yeah, I don't, I mean, at the end of the day I'm a rookie, like, you know, I'm still trying to get my feet wet, I'm still trying to learn the game and all. So, you know, them running the ball a lot and then passing it a few times, it still has helped me a lot. So I'm not saying that, you know, but yeah, at the same time, you know, I'm not worried about that. I'm just trying to get my feet wet at the end of the day and trying to do what's right for the team overall. To that end, I mean, this is a team that it's not necessarily a pass 45 times in a game type of offense. Is that something as a pass catcher that you're content with us? It's just how the game is played at the end of the day, you know, I came from an offense where they threw out, I don't know how many times a game. So this is a little bit different, but it's my job now, something I gotta do. I'm not mad at it at all. I'm just waiting for opportunities and when they come, I'm gonna try to make the best of it. It's been fun. I mean, I'm playing football for a job now. I can't be more excited than that. So if I have to block more than usual, I'm gonna do it, you know? This was best for this team, that was best for me, you know? Well, I mean, just like you said, you played in a USC offense through the time. I'm just wondering how mentally you adjust to that. Whether you're job or not, it's a different role. I mean, obviously it's a different role, but at the same time, everything is so, you get everything so few in the league, right? You're not out there, you know, getting like, I mean, some people are, but you're not getting 15, 16 targets or catches a game, 20 targets a game, you know what I'm saying? So at the end of the day, I'm just trying to do my job. Do as best for this. This club was best for the teammates and all that. To that end, is it almost like, hey, if I get five targets, I gotta make the best of this, these moments, because I know they're not gonna come at an exponential, right? Does that almost kind of go into your head as well? Yeah, a little bit, but I think that on every play as well, because you don't ever know when we're, we're gonna break somebody out like Avery, Tyler, any of them. So it's that for every play, but it's definitely make them on the passing place too. Nope, it's kind of that. I guess glass half empty of what Torrey just asked though, is it tough to stay in a rhythm, get in a rhythm when there aren't that many passing plays at all? I mean, as somebody who hadn't run routes and caught balls, is it tough to, you know, stay in or get in a rhythm? I wouldn't say not for me at least. I mean, it could be for other guys, but not for me. I'm out there playing football, when I'm out there playing football, I'm glued into what we're doing. So I try to execute in all my plays, whether it's blocking or running routes. I know. In a couple of different ways, you get off to such a fast, hot start to the season. The numbers in the last game have been, you know, haven't been quite to that level. Frustrating at all, or is it really just, hey, it's a job to show up, do what they ask me to do? It's a job you gotta show up and I'm a rookie right now, you know? So I gotta go through all this. I gotta go, I gotta go through all everything. And just getting my feet here, like I said before, you know? So that's what I'm trying to do. And I think I'm doing a well job of it. When you see this secondary help beat up is, and I go against them every day in practice, what do you see about from some of these guys who you're talking about getting their feet wet? They're getting their feet wet too. How do you feel like this secondary is kind of coming along this week considering how many of them had to play this past Sunday? Yeah, past Sunday. Well, I sit by a lot of them, you know? So they're a close knit family and I believe in all of them. I go against some of the best guys, you know? So at the end of the day, I have all my faith in them and they're getting their feet wet just like me. And like I said before, I think I'm doing a good job and I think they're doing a good job as well with that. Treating you a little bit digitally after the fast start because we saw you come out of the gates good and then are you getting a little bit more heavier treatment? I don't know. I mean, I wouldn't say it's hard to tell. I just... How you put it? I wouldn't say it's hard to tell, you know? It's just how the game has been going the flow of the game. We've been running people through people's faces and we're going to keep on doing that till they stop it. Yeah, so that's the passing game. How do y'all try to ramp it up or get it going? That's probably a question for coach Art, you know? How do you get that going? All I can say for that is just being on RPs and Qs as wide receivers and QBs. He said, keeping your mindset right, don't be pouting, maybe breaking a route out shorter and messing up spacing. When he said he knows he's got the good guys that are going to be there when y'all do get it open. Yeah, just our opportunities. We've got to make the best of them. And either said earlier, just that trust and discipline in our routes, execution, all that stuff, it's going to go a long way. Just stay on top of that no matter what. Exactly, because it helps other people out. There's a lot of routes that help clear out other people. So you've got to be on that, too. Yes, thank you. Thanks, Coach. Yeah, it's a crazy atmosphere. Nothing like it in college football. Other teams and stuff might split the stadium, but when they split half, ready to have blue, you know it's going to be a fight. And you know the fans are going to stay engaged the whole game up until we kick them, kick the blue guys out of there. So we've got Kyle Pitts here, who's a gator. You guys having some trash talk? What's the, what's it been like in here? It's not too much trash talk going on, you know? Surprisingly so. I will always talk trash for my dogs, but I mean, I feel like they, they kind of have an understanding this year that bulldogs run it. What are, what's your expectations for this team and just the, I don't know, do you have a score prediction or anything like that or who you want to see go off? It's hard to make score predictions in this one because you know it's always going to be a battle. Big rivalry game, everybody's going to play their best, but the dog's on top, always. So there's a lot of people talking about eliminating the neutral site factor of Florida, Georgia. Do you have an opinion on that? Whatever Coach Smart says, whatever he says goes. What would you think about the players playing in Gainesville and then them coming to Athens? I actually think that would be nice. Like I, that, getting a chance to go playing Gainesville and playing the Swamp and then having them come to Athens, I feel like that would be a good opportunity for both sides. Any worry that there's going to be a little look ahead to Tennessee next week considering that's what the East is going to come down to? No, no, no way. It's Florida, it's Florida week. They got to take care of one team at a time. And I mean, Kirby, I'm sure he has them riled up ready to play Florida. What's your favorite memory from that rivalry? Um, I say just empty in the stadium. Having the stadium turned from half red, half blue to just all red and just hearing the fans go crazy and sending them home with a loss. What's it been like with Coach? He's a Tennessee guy. Do you guys have any conversations yet about it at all? Who's a Tennessee guy? Smith was talking about. There's a lot of Tennessee fans out there. Oh man, nah, I feel like right now everybody's all Georgia. And the Tennessee guys, they're kind of sitting behind, just waiting, waiting, hoping that they get a chance to come beat us. I think as a group, man, it's a great group of men, you know, and Tyler's taking advantage of his opportunity that was presented to him. Obviously, CP started out really hot. And then had his injury, you know, and then again, all those guys are preparing as if they're the starter every week, every day. And their whole thought process is just how they can continue to grow and just continue to help this team win games. And Caleb like Caleb? Yeah, Caleb's doing a great job too. Preparing every week for his opportunities, you know, and the packages of things that we have for him and that we're gonna ask him to do. Spending a lot of time with the veteran guys and, you know, just trying to learn from them and taking their experiences so he can obviously help himself when he's out there on Sundays. And lastly, Andrew Williams was the last one I wanted to ask, you know, it was a pretty good succession from, you know, LG or to Caleb and A, it was part of that committee and I just finished that question, he takes very much. How's he doing in his role? Yeah, every, again, he has his role. We know how we wanna utilize him. I think between Art and Rags and our offensive staff and what he does on special teams, he has a very unique role for us. And so again, he's doing a great job, doing an unbelievable job in the room, just learning. Very, very trustworthy guy in a lot of different aspects. And so he's continued to grow as well. And again, just continue to do whatever he can to help this football team win games. Thank you, coach. Thank you. It's hypothetical, be honest with you. I know you guys get that a lot, but right now we're literally focused on Carolina Panthers and what do we need to do today on Wednesday to put ourselves in the best position to win on Sunday. And then when CP does come back, we'll cross that bridge, we'll figure all that stuff out. But there's no reason to waste any time or energy talking about hypothetical situation. I mean, you're almost in a reason to waste some words on it, I think. And I'll be honest, I don't know if he's coming back next week or not. That's, again, that's a question for art. That's not a question for me. I just know the guys that we have rolling this week, be it Tyler, be it Hunt, be it Avery, and Keith, I need to make sure that those guys have a great Wednesday practice and that we can go out there and put ourselves in the best position to go win this division game on Sunday. I don't know if the offense changes, but obviously CP is who he is. He's a dynamic football player. So I don't think the offense changes. The scheme doesn't change. Art rags, the way that we're in vision putting this thing together really doesn't change when CP comes back. I think it's us just, each player doing their 1-11th and that's what CP was doing because it was a success of the other 10 guys around him that allowed him to be able to do his job. And that doesn't change when he comes back or when he comes back or if Tyler, Huntly, Avery or any of those other guys are out there. And that's kind of our mindset is it's not just, hey, this one guy. But obviously, again, he's a hell of a football player. He gives us a different dimension because of his flexibility as a football player. You know, and so like I said, but our focus right now truly is just how, what do we need to do to prepare on Wednesday to go win this game on Sunday? Ideally, they want to line him off every player. So that didn't necessarily happen in the first three to season four, you know, first. So that's why I'm wondering if there is kind of a vision where it maybe looks more either like last year Yeah, I think that's the beauty of when you have a guy like CP is that you do have some flexibility of where you can line some different guys up. Again, the game plan changes week to week and how we want to utilize certain guys, tight ends, receivers, different backs. And so again, Arthur rags our offensive staff. We'll all put that stuff together when it does come to that point when he is back. But like I said, I do think again, each week we're going to put our guys in the best position to be successful to allow us to win the game on Sunday. Keith Smith, I think Keith Smith is a quiet leader amongst not only in our room, but amongst his football team shows up to work every single day. Does a lot of the grunt work, be it special teams, be it blocking, you know, a lot of things that doesn't get a lot of recognition. But he's doing a really good job, especially just with it being a younger room. He was a quick answer. Just because you see what goes into playing that position, and it's a selfless position. And I think he understands that. And that's why he's been able to make the career that he's been able to make for himself because he's a selfless guy. He cares about the team. He wants to help the team in any way possible, be it taking Repster and Scout team for the Scout offense. He doesn't care what it is. He just wants to help this team win and be prepared for Sundays. And then obviously you guys drafted Tyler out to your abilities. And you liked him on film, and now you like him. Because you're utilizing him the best of his ability. How have you seen him evolve the more he gets used? I think the patience as a runner is continuing to get better week to week. You know, there's always things that we need to improve on. And him and I had a really good meeting earlier this week. And we both noticed some things that we need to do a better job of and get cleaned up to allow ourselves to be better in the run game. But I think that's the best part about that group in general is they all aren't satisfied at any moment of any success that people may think that we're having because it's the constant mindset of how can we get better in that growth mindset. Michael, have you watched any of CPC's videos like this morning on Twitter and Instagram? It's been so close to get ready to come back. Not really, to be honest with you. During the season it's kind of hard to any spare time to spend any time watching. They're looking at a lot of social media stuff. But I do know he's chomping at the bit to get back. And he just wants to get back around his teammates. And just again, like I've said a few different times, just help this team win on Sundays. Because right now that's our sole purpose and our sole focus. Is he one of those guys they don't have a hard time like easing back into the game like I'm going to give you? I think naturally that's all these guys. They wouldn't be at this level if that wasn't their mindset. But I think for us, starting with our medical staff, Arthur, we'll have a good plan in place on how we want to approach that with him. Again, that would be something that they would need to ask or they would need to answer because they have a better idea of where he's at and what not. But obviously he makes us a better football team when he is on the floor. Quite a bit because there's a lot of different aspects at the end of the run. Obviously the best outcome is getting in the end zone. So you're trying to obviously help prepare them to get to the end zone. But I also think the ball security aspect, how to finish a run, doing a good job of finishing that run going forward and not allowing the defense to push you back. That's specifically what I was thinking about. How important is it for guys to get back? Yeah, no, it's hitting yardage that a lot of people don't talk about. Because if you hear a defensive coach talk about what do they want to do to a ball carrier or someone that has a ball, they want to push them backwards because they're trying to take away that hitting yardage. And as an offensive coach, you're telling your guys, guys, we want to fall forward because you can steal an extra two or three yards. So instead of it being second and seven, you're sitting there in a situation of second and five, which then for our play caller for Coach Smith, obviously makes it a little bit easier for him to have a little bit more variety in which he can get to in terms of his calls.
