Andrew Janocko and Rob Leonard Presser - 10.29.26

Andrew Janocko (0:00)

All right, here we go.

SPEAKER_2 (0:03)

This is pretty much every week, but what are you seeing in the run game that you think can kind of go to the next level?

Andrew Janocko (0:08)

It's something that, you know, run game, pass game, screens, everything, just trying to get better every single day, coming out, working. You know, guys taking techniques to the field, evaluating everything we do, and then just continuing to prove in all aspects.

SPEAKER_3 (0:26)

Aston talked about needing to trust himself more in running the ball, just kind of, what does he mean by that?

Andrew Janocko (0:31)

Yeah, I think he's just, he's a guy that works really hard at his craft, that's very, you know, very mindful of everything he's working on. So the big thing with him is just going out, you know, trusting what he sees, you know, coming off the ball and then, you know, finishing place.

SPEAKER_4 (0:46)

How has his pass catching diversified, what you guys have been able to do offensively, even if the success on the ground isn't there?

Andrew Janocko (0:51)

Yeah, Aston's a tremendous player, somebody that, you know, somebody that, you know, we lean on in our offense. And so, you know, running the ball, catching the ball, that's all something that, you know, you know, whether it's Aston or whether it's any of our other skilled players, just maximizing, you know, things they do and trying to put them in the best position possible.

SPEAKER_5 (1:08)

Beyond the numbers, what are you seeing from Kurt that he's able to execute this offense at a high level?

Andrew Janocko (1:14)

You know, he has so much experience. And, you know, so, you know, the big thing that we see is him doing it every single day and coming out. And, you know, the way he takes care of his body, the way he prepares mentally, the way he's ready in meetings, interacts with his teammates. That's all stuff that we see that, you know, he's putting himself in a chance to have success and it helps to elevate our team.

SPEAKER_6 (1:35)

Kirk talked about watching the tape after the game that Jalen has been open a few times. Maybe he's not really seeing him and that he can give Jalen more opportunities. Do you feel like that is the case or do you think there's something that they could both do better?

Andrew Janocko (1:47)

I think there's, I mean, I think there's always things that we're all gonna try to do better. I think Kirk is one of his toughest critics on himself, so he wants to find, he always is trying to find ways to elevate the people around him.

Whether it's us as coaches, we're always trying to uplift each other and then he is trying to find the best way to be successful. So he wants the best for his teammates and the best for everybody around him. So whether it's Jalen, whether it's Brock, Mike, everybody, he's trying to bring out the best in everybody.

SPEAKER_6 (2:18)

In that situation, is it more of like a communication type or chemistry thing between Jalen and Kirk to figure out different ways where you can get the ball?

Andrew Janocko (2:26)

Yeah, I think they're just, they're trying to do their job and within their job, you know, how they can build more success with each other.

SPEAKER_2 (2:33)

What have you seen from Tracy in the time that he's at Barrett's on now?

Andrew Janocko (2:36)

Just a worker, somebody that comes in, works really hard, very attention to detail manner, but somebody that's, you know, he just keeps striving for different opportunities and he's a guy that, you know, somebody that you just want to see, you know, continue to grow and continue to take advantage of opportunities.

SPEAKER_2 (2:52)

How difficult is the job you guys have asked them to do of learning everything?

Andrew Janocko (2:55)

Well, that's just part of being a pro, and that's part of being, you know, that's part of, you know, being a player in this league, especially up front, that you have to be versatile and take different positions to go to the field and, you know, execute.

SPEAKER_7 (3:08)

Clint mentioned rearranging certain things in practice to have faster starts in the game. Have you guys simulated that in practice?

Andrew Janocko (3:15)

Yeah, we're always trying to simulate different parts of the game. You know, Clint does a great job. We know it's something that he really believes in, something that we all believe in collectively as a staff and as an organization to put ourselves and make practice, you know, make practice as close to or even harder than the game. So putting guys in situations that they can thrive in. And so when they get out there, they can have success doing their job.
