Brian Mitchell is all about joint practices and loves the chance for players to showcase their abilities without all the handholding of a typical practice session.

00:00I will be honest with you all, this is a time of the year
00:03where I get excited about football.
00:06Even when I played, this was a time I was getting excited.
00:09Big man just now beat the hell out of the Jess guy.
00:12But ultimately, you get a chance to go out there
00:14and you get to test people
00:16and they have different skill levels, all right?
00:19That may be a rookie get up against a veteran.
00:22A veteran gets up against a rookie.
00:24You have some guys that are just hitting their peak.
00:27But this is where coaches really wanna understand
00:30that you understand what you're doing.
00:32You don't get swayed by someone else's stupid actions.
00:38Can you keep yourself under control?
00:40How hard will you be going?
00:43Because the whole thing about it is in practice,
00:46most times in training camp,
00:48there's a coach in the huddle who's talking to people
00:52and telling them what to do.
00:53When they get you on this situation sometimes,
00:56they put you out there
00:58and they don't wanna see what you retain.
01:00And a lot of times when a guy is playing slow,
01:03it's because he don't know what he's doing.
01:05And the Jets, their record wasn't great last year,
01:10but their level of talent that they have on that team
01:13is phenomenal.
01:15From receiver to cornerback,
01:17I know Quentin Williams and Quincy Williams.
01:19Quincy is the linebacker.
01:22They got CJ Mosley up there.
01:24They have some dudes that can play.
01:27When you start playing football,
01:28you're looking for some dogs, okay?
01:30And I'm talking about dog
01:31and every positive aspect of the word.
01:35This is nothing about negativity.
01:36It's all about positive.
01:38And this is a chance where you can take a huge step.
01:41A lot of these little rookie players on this team today,
01:44and they're wondering about,
01:45man, I may not be getting enough reps today.
01:49You can make that happen.
01:50You can go out there and do something
01:52to make these coaches start to say,
01:53you know what, let's find a way to get him on the field.
01:56Greg Lloyd was a pass covering dude for a linebacker.
02:02He could pass rush as well.
02:03When I had my chance against Greg Lloyd and I did something,
02:07I instantly realized that my stats,
02:10I mean, my reps went up.
02:12When Don Bro saw that happen,
02:14he realized, okay, this dude has been working on his stuff.
02:17And this is what other guys have to do too.
