GT FB: Zach Pyron Media Availability (2024 Fall Camp - July 30)

helmet comp system s z Kelly I asked coach winky about this I'm curious what your take is how has the helmet comp system been and and how do you how do you like your information I guess uh he said that different quarterbacks like different things are you do you like a lot of detail you just want the call kind of how do you take it uh I mean it's an adjustment for sure I mean my whole life has been signal everything in or wristband so it's uh having somebody in your ears kind of been a huge adjustment um hearing him talk all the time is good I like it cuz I think it lets us go faster you know I kind of I get the play before everybody else does so one I can fix mistakes that are already happening before the snap even happens and get people lined up quicker um on the information side I mean whatever he feels you know every guy like like coach winky said we talked about in the quarterback room you know hannes might like to hear something different pre- snap than I do so we're still working on that out I mean we've had what six practices with it five or we had it in the spring but I mean we weren't so big on it then versus now actually getting ready for the season so we're still kind of going over this learning curve with it but um it's been it's been good adjustment so far so what's your comfortability with with comfortability with offense the offense now having been it for you know a couple years and knowing the Playbook feel like go in there and perform if needed yeah I'm super comfortable with it um kind of kind of it's nice now being in it for two fall camps now um you know two Springs and two fall camps uh cuz now we're really mastering the offense now it's it's like learning all the little details you know coach M says the devil the devil's in the details right told us the story how Brett Favre when he was with the Packers played in the same offense for 10 something years or however it was but started day one with just super base install and that's kind of what we started with and right now we're a bit further along in this B Camp than we were last fall Camp which is nice you know and it also helps we got a bunch of Veteran guys that came back on the offensive side you know first and second string guys that are rotating and we got a lot of depth which is a good thing to have um you know compet ition is huge you know makes everybody better everybody improves from competition um but on the comfortability side I'm super comfortable with it but not too comfortable where I'm still not learning and studying everything you know you still got to learn all the intri intri intricacies I can't however you say the word uh been yelling all day but um it's uh it is good you know I'm really enjoying it you know it's a fun offense and now it's just really mastering it and learning all the small details and just making sure everybody you know KN what everybody else has to do too so coach talked about stealing signals you know the new system as opposed to hand signals and perhaps maybe some teams were stealing signals and you're used to the the hand signal end of the deal did you notice at all that maybe some teams were might have been stealing signals at all possibly I'm sure every every team has something along those lines you know it's they're there so why not try to get a beat on it you know offensively I know some offenses try to see hey if the secondary is doing this in film it might be this coverage on the back end so I mean that is everybody does it you know it it's just something you got to overcome uh we're still going to have the hand signals put in in place right you know CU receivers tight ends running backs they still got to get it right they don't have one in their helmet uh but it kind of makes it easier now you can change Tempo in the game and stuff and um but seeing it as a problem I'm sure teams use it as an advantage why not though you know if somebody's signaling something in and you're smart enough to memorize what something was and you can piece it all together like a puzzle and good for you you know [Music] so how have you seen the two young quarterbacks improved since the spring QB competition they're just their confidence you can their confidence man is you know just going up they're both playing very well uh they're both two really hard workers it's something that you know coach winky looks for in the quarterback room is you know me and Haynes we work super hard and Brody you know Brody's been here just as long as I have uh we all all three of us work super hard and we wanted to bring in two guys that are going to match our effort and you know whether it's in the weight room in the film room and you know so now we're always in the film room together we're always up there together no man is up there you know or like there's not four of us up there and two of us aren't it's all six of us up there um which is really good um in the weight room we all work out at the same rack um we all work out super hard we're always pushing each other you know uh you know giving each other a hard time you know right now we're having speed competitions out there who has the highest speed of the day you know we have a leaderboard keeping score of that these last six practices and um you know it's been fun just the competition to push pushing each other but you know Graham and Pho just seeing their confidence and their comfortability and just learning everything with us you know is really good to see them pick it up like they are because you know uh they're the future right so it's good seeing that from them so I think something that struck me today in a little bit of practice we Offensive depth were watching in throughout Camp has been the depth the skill positions on offense and it seems like even the third huddle you have guys who could play in a game and stuff for the first time how do you see that in practice and I'm sure it's something you've noticed as you know going out there and playing quarterback I mean we have I don't want to name her receivers cuz I don't want to leave one off I mean we have at least five six seven guys right now that can go and play comfortably you know and then you got guys like Leo who's coming back from injuries that are you know going to be studs when they get it um it was just huge and then you look at off uh tight end side you know you got hos transfer from Yale that dude is I mean you just saw him he's a tank dude strong physical picks everything up he's a smart guy you got uh go from Mississippi state who's just a veteran dude played seven eight nine years however won he's played ball now just as super smart smart veteran guy that you know he's always going to be in the right place you know the fact that he's already picked the offense up his football you know he talks about wanting to be a coach afterwards and uh I see why you know just his football knowledge and understanding everything and helping people get lined up and then you got Josh beam who transferred in from Michigan that dude's going to be really good with two years left you know he's got he's going to help us a lot right away and then you got Brett coming back so and then the running back side we still have all our running backs except Dante Dante left but you know you got Trey and Jamal coming back then you got young guys like Evan Dickens and and and Anthony Carrey that are both going to be really good Tayon Maddox you know working back he's going to be really good so it's just I can keep naming people um what I'm really impressed with is this offensive line though you know just offensive line where they are now compared to last year and some of these true freshman we have in are going to be really good I mean I was telling somebody I think the whole second offensive line is all true freshman except one guy and they're playing really well maybe too but they're playing really well you know um so it's it's it's exciting to see just the potential that this offense has and where we can go right now so it's it's awesome anything else for Zach we're in the portal age you had your opportunities I'm sure people Why stay reached out what is it that made you want to stay and and finish up at Georgia Tech and and continue your career here this is first of all the relationships I made you know just with Coach winky um coming in being with him you know just relationship I have I didn't know if I could find many guys that can develop me better than what he what he's developing me right now and then you know this degree here um this degree means so much you know it's a everybody jokes and says it's a 40-year decision but it really is you know and just some of the connections I made outside of football with some guys is you know about who you know it's not about what you do but it's about who you know right I know a lot of a lot of people and then just coach key you know um I'm just bought in for what he's doing uh he's just he's an awesome coach a lot of respect for him a lot of respect would do anything for him um you know anything he tells me to do I'm willing to do do and any Improvement he wants me to make I'll make and it's um that's just those three reasons are big and then you know it's it's just a great place I want to be a part of something that that we're building right now so awesome thank you sir yes sir appreciate you all appreciate sir thank you
