Conjunction usage in sentences
In colloquial/casual speech can conjunctions that follow verbs be omitted?
for instance:
can "He is trying to convey that he is from a family that has produced many football coaches" be recasted as "He is trying to convey he is from a family that has produced several football coaches"?.
Thanks!

"That" in particular is usually omitted in that sort of structure whenever it doesn't help the clarity of the sentence.
