8
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:34,839
Speaker 1: day six of practice here at the Greenbrier in West Virginia.

9
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:37,479
Speaker 1: The first day, the team puts the pads on.

10
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:41,400
Speaker 2: Okay, fire away, guys, do you do this day with pads?

11
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 3: That's kind of an acclamation career where you.

12
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:44,680
Speaker 4: Want to see sub hitting up.

13
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:49,880
Speaker 5: No, I think really this whole first part of training

14
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:51,440
Speaker 5: camp for us prior to the Hall of Fame game,

15
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:54,320
Speaker 5: it's all acclamations. So with the pads going on, what

16
00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:58,080
Speaker 5: we're going to do today is really focus on technique.

17
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 5: As you know, Tony, sometimes the pads on and technique

18
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 5: goes out the windows. So we're gonna spend a ton

19
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 5: of time an individual today and really tomorrow we'll have

20
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 5: what will look like a you know, offense, orus defense,

21
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 5: padded practice more so tomorrow today is a a shorter

22
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 5: workout in time, but heavy emphasis on individual and high intensity.

23
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 6: Kevin, Jacob and Mike early vote love practice yesterday, any of.

24
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 5: The I think Jacob should be back. I think Mike Mike,

25
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:29,560
Speaker 5: Mike may be held out.

26
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:33,120
Speaker 4: But we'll see what was What was the issue with

27
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 4: the other one?

28
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 5: Uh, Jacob just uh a little bit of the reaction

29
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 5: of the heat and Mike Uh, possible head injury.

30
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:46,559
Speaker 7: As Yeah, is that how much ever been in them

31
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 7: late and how much in the short time.

32
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 5: Trains to come uh in that career. I think it's

33
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 5: a combination of vote Tony. I think it's really we're

34
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 5: fortunate with the Hall of Fame game, we get to

35
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 5: acclimate like this. So with number one, we have extra

36
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 5: days to be able to do that. But number two, yeah.

37
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 2: You are reserve.

38
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 8: You are.

39
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 5: The rules are are as such where it limits the

40
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:16,960
Speaker 5: amount of time that you can be out here each day.

41
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:18,679
Speaker 5: There has to be a ramp up at time, There

42
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 5: has to be a ramp up in contact and those

43
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 5: type of things.

44
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:22,519
Speaker 2: So it's it's a combination of both.

45
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 9: Oh so you think tomorrow will be the first time

46
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 9: you can get like offensive offense line, defensive line.

47
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:32,359
Speaker 3: Correct one, so correct? I mean you've been afternoon practice coach, right, yeah,

48
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:34,400
Speaker 3: here in the different schedule or is it.

49
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 10: You know.

50
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 5: What we did was they don't have an indoor facility here,

51
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:40,360
Speaker 5: so if it were to rain, you're in. You have

52
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 5: no recourse down here with no indoors. So just talking

53
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:46,079
Speaker 5: to some of the locals before we get down here,

54
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 5: they said, if it rains, it's in the afternoon. So

55
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:51,639
Speaker 5: that was the idea behind practicing in the morning. Uh,

56
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 5: obviously it's hotter in the afternoon down here. We do

57
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 5: need to acclimate to the heat as well. So hopefully

58
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 5: we have some practices here.

59
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:02,119
Speaker 2: It'll be hot.

60
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 5: It was hot yesterday, it'll be hot today, and then

61
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:05,080
Speaker 5: hopefully when we get back up to Borea.

62
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:07,520
Speaker 2: You know it'll be hot because.

63
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 5: You know, as we know, it's gonna be steamy in

64
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:12,519
Speaker 5: Kansas City at noon, it's gonna be Lord knows, it

65
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 5: gonna be very hot September tenth at one, you know,

66
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 5: at one o'clock in Cleveland. So we got to acclimate

67
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 5: to the heat as well.

68
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:22,399
Speaker 7: We're not a mile high, but we are like two

69
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 7: thousand feet elevation. Here. Okay at the trainers players seen

70
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 7: any results.

71
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:29,800
Speaker 2: But I haven't heard anything.

72
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, I haven't.

73
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 2: It's a mountain state, right.

74
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 3: It's at one or can you feel his energy and

75
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 3: how God?

76
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure.

77
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 5: I think when you have safeties, you oftentimes hear them

78
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 5: the quarterback of the defense and there's so much.

79
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 2: Communication that takes place from that position.

80
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 10: So to have a guy like.

81
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 5: One, you know, Rodney McLeod Grant as he gets into

82
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 5: his third year, you have guys that are very vocal

83
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 5: because they've they've played a lot of reps, and certainly

84
00:03:57,760 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 5: one with the amount of games that he's played.

85
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 2: In the big game that he's played, you certainly feel.

86
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 4: That Kevin why obviously had the camp issued last year?

87
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 4: How much looking back on it, did that injury sort

88
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 4: of linger.

89
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 3: And and really impact.

90
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 6: The way he played over the court from the moment

91
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 6: he got it too for the.

92
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 11: End of the season.

93
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a good question.

94
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:18,040
Speaker 5: I think why I could probably answer that better than

95
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 5: I can, but I would tell you where he is

96
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:23,840
Speaker 5: right now. He's in a great spot physically. Uh, he's

97
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 5: got a very good understanding what we're doing, so he's

98
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:26,159
Speaker 5: doing a good job.

99
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:28,159
Speaker 2: But I think you'd probably have to ask.

100
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 12: Him, would you expect to see amar ads today or.

101
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:33,160
Speaker 5: I do I think a Mar's been able to go

102
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 5: today and well he do every day, or we're.

103
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 2: Gonna ramp him up, but he he's making good progress.

104
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,279
Speaker 13: You've seen guys respond to wands leaders see even if

105
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 13: he's a new player here, you.

106
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:45,720
Speaker 3: Get bout one out of the field.

107
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:46,160
Speaker 10: Yeah.

108
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:50,239
Speaker 5: I think, as you guys know, everybody's players are keenly

109
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:52,479
Speaker 5: aware of guys that have Super Bowl rings, and and

110
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 5: Wan's had a ton of success. He's played at a

111
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 5: high level over there in Kansas City, so he he

112
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 5: that's instant credibility with your teammates.

113
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 2: And then just to see how he works. He's a

114
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 2: guy that fits in very.

115
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:06,840
Speaker 5: Well with our team and with our guys and with

116
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 5: our mentality.

117
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:10,839
Speaker 4: Kevin Jim was talking back into.

118
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:15,599
Speaker 6: Vas where many came about really not being able to

119
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 6: see anything until it's a physical game, not being able

120
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:21,480
Speaker 6: to see anything really until you get to this point.

121
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 6: How much does I know it's always evaluation, but how

122
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 6: much does it the evaluations change once you start getting

123
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:30,280
Speaker 6: that full contact.

124
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean that's a big piece of it. As

125
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 5: you guys know, you think about the spring. Really, the

126
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:37,159
Speaker 5: rules are written that you can only do seven on

127
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 5: seven in the spring competitively, right, so you learn a

128
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,920
Speaker 5: lot about your past game. But then, having said that,

129
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,920
Speaker 5: the DBS can't put their hands on a receiver. So

130
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 5: as you progress into camp, it's you can make a

131
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 5: fair assessment of our players and our corners and press

132
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:55,719
Speaker 5: and and how guys get off of blocks and those

133
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:58,840
Speaker 5: type of things prior to the pats going on.

134
00:05:59,240 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 4: That's so good.

135
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:03,920
Speaker 7: If you didn't have an extra week for practice with

136
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 7: the five days, if you practice.

137
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 2: Look different, they would, yes, yeah.

138
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 1: Next up it's safety wan Thornhill. He talks about the

139
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 1: importance of the red zone drills that they're going through

140
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:16,360
Speaker 1: and how he's excited to start hitting with the pads

141
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:17,840
Speaker 1: on in practice one.

142
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:20,480
Speaker 6: When you're in Kansas City, you guys went away, we're

143
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:21,360
Speaker 6: training camp.

144
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 4: How has this sort of been like that and what

145
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:27,040
Speaker 4: do you get out of you know, stuff like that.

146
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:30,160
Speaker 8: I would say it's very similar, but I honestly it's

147
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:32,159
Speaker 8: better here because in Kansas City you go away to

148
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:35,160
Speaker 8: a college, you're standing in a dorm room and it's

149
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,680
Speaker 8: like an hour away. But no one wants to be

150
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 8: like within those white walls. It's just kind of like

151
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 8: you're in prison or something. So I would definitely say

152
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:44,479
Speaker 8: it's a lot better here, just because you get to

153
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 8: go back to a nice room as a five star resort,

154
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 8: You got nice restaurants around you, you got plenty of like

155
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:54,360
Speaker 8: activities going on when you're not practicing, and.

156
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 10: I mean, I really enjoy it a lot.

157
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 7: Coach the fans said, because you have the extra week,

158
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:02,600
Speaker 7: the extra preseason game, this whole week has been different,

159
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 7: a slower ramp up. Do you feel it, Is it

160
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 7: kind of unique in that way to you from camera?

161
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:09,160
Speaker 11: Oh?

162
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 8: Yeah, definitely, cause I'm used to just getting out there,

163
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 8: like going full speed, and then like you can, you

164
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 8: can kind of feel like that wear and tear on

165
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 8: your body, like you start to get like super sore

166
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 8: when you're going like consistent days, like hard, back to

167
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 8: back to back. But here it's just's more like you're

168
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:25,200
Speaker 8: practicing hard and then you think you about to go again,

169
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 8: and then it's like a pull back a little bit

170
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 8: and let your body recover. You gonna go hard again,

171
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 8: pull it back a little bit, Let's let your body recover.

172
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 8: So I just I really enjoy it, and it I

173
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 8: feel like It's just gonna help us out a lot

174
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 8: and keep God's healthy and and get us.

175
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 3: Towards the seasons ready for tomorrow.

176
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 10: Oh yeah, I'm always ready, you know.

177
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 11: Yeah, Like I I'm not backing down on the head,

178
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 11: you know.

179
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 14: Well, I like when you get to this stage of

180
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:48,360
Speaker 14: training camp for the pads come on, you're getting ready

181
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 14: to go offense or SKU defense, Like, is this the

182
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 14: first time you can kind of really get a feel

183
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 14: from what you have And how do.

184
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 3: You guys up unions and unit?

185
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 10: Oh yeah, definitely.

186
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 8: Mean guys can make a lot of plays out there

187
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 8: when you don't have the shoulder pads zone because you

188
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 8: can't be touched, you know, like I'm talking about like

189
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 8: the receivers. And then also like some guys that you

190
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 8: don't think look as good at like a DV spot,

191
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 8: it's because they can't get their hands.

192
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 10: On the receivers.

193
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 11: But as soon as you put those paths on, they

194
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 11: start to show up.

195
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 8: So I think us for our pass is definitely gonna

196
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,720
Speaker 8: show what we really have and I we'll get a

197
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 8: good feel for it probably tomorrow.

198
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 7: And you have in the competitive rent zone periods prior

199
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 7: to that, it cuts pretty good efforts.

200
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 11: Oh yeah, definitely. I mean we always take pride in that.

201
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 8: Like one thing you do is eliminate points when they

202
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 8: get down there in a red zone. If you can

203
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 8: get a a third down stop and make them kick

204
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 8: a field go, you just say four points.

205
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 11: So you gotta take pride in that and try to

206
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 11: win each and every down.

207
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 7: The players and the coaches think that those red zone

208
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 7: periods are the most relevant of your training.

209
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 11: Oh yeah, definitely. We all take part in it.

210
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:50,560
Speaker 8: Like we even have it up on our board, like

211
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 8: we have like a certain percentage that we're trying to

212
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:54,920
Speaker 8: like win each and every day. Like we don't wanna

213
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,320
Speaker 8: give up like a a red zone touchdown because it's

214
00:08:57,360 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 8: like on you, Like you know what I'm saying, Everyone's

215
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 8: gonna see it, and that allows the office to get points.

216
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 8: So what we're gonna do is just try to keep

217
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 8: you out the ND zone. Uh, we wanna say at

218
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 8: least yeah, little less than fifty percent forty eight forty nine,

219
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 8: we're happy with it.

220
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 3: Oh, like you showed up here with you got Super

221
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 3: Bowl rings that everyone does.

222
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 10: Yup?

223
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 3: What's that like for the other guys to talk to

224
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 3: you about that? And what kind of what's that do

225
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:22,480
Speaker 3: for you there and your status there?

226
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 8: I mean they they ask about like what the super

227
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 8: Bowl is, Like you can kind of like pin paint

228
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:28,959
Speaker 8: that picture for 'em so they can like start visualizing

229
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:30,480
Speaker 8: where we're where we're trying to get to.

230
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:33,200
Speaker 11: I mean it's just with me being able to.

231
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 8: Play multiple super Bowl games, I also know what it

232
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 8: takes to get there, like what type of work is

233
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:39,080
Speaker 8: gonna take to get there? And then I'm just here

234
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 8: to push those guys and show 'em that, like we

235
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 8: have the players and the pieces to get to that

236
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:43,840
Speaker 8: big game.

237
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:46,600
Speaker 4: How much of you seen in the communication.

238
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 6: Improved just in the time you you know, even going

239
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 6: back took the age, just in the time you guys

240
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 6: have been working together.

241
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 8: I mean it's improved tremendously, honestly, Like guys are I

242
00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 8: mean when you first get out there and a new defense,

243
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 8: like you just trying I figure it out. Guys are

244
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 8: really quiet, kind of timid, not knowing what to really say.

245
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,200
Speaker 8: It's not that the defense is hard, as just you know,

246
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 8: like that that the the verbids and things like that

247
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:11,839
Speaker 8: can be a little different, but it's like day and night.

248
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:13,880
Speaker 11: Honestly, guys are communicating a lot louder.

249
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:16,440
Speaker 8: Guys are getting aligned much faster, and I just felt

250
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:17,559
Speaker 8: like we're playing faster.

251
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:18,880
Speaker 3: With the Chiefs.

252
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 15: Did the hen play h you a lot preseason or of.

253
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:27,080
Speaker 11: A line for you recall we play a little bit.

254
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 10: I think we played probably.

255
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 8: I would say like the first game you might play

256
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 8: like a a series, The second game you play maybe

257
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 8: a quarter, and then that last game you're kind of

258
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:38,079
Speaker 8: like preparing for the season, so you might play a

259
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 8: half a little bit longer every game.

260
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:41,600
Speaker 11: Yeah, so you played every single game.

261
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 6: You can see you guys also cause you were often

262
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:48,520

00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:56,680
Speaker 8: of guys.

267
00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 10: That's how we pretty much see it. Just an actual

268
00:10:58,280 --> 00:10:58,800
Speaker 10: week of work.

269
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:01,040
Speaker 11: But it ain't nothing to that. You're ducking out there, you.

270
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,960
Speaker 1: Know, all pro guard. Why a Teller is next up

271
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 1: on the podium, and he talks about how tough a

272
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 1: calf's sprain is on a player, how he's adjusting to

273
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:11,960
Speaker 1: his new life as a father, this Brown's offense, Deshan

274
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:13,080
Speaker 1: Watson and more.

275
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:21,480
Speaker 3: You know, calf strains are in the news. Yeah, your's last.

276
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:24,320
Speaker 15: Four monks last year then, yeah, I'm praying for Joey.

277
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:25,280
Speaker 4: Yeah.

278
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:28,960
Speaker 15: No, it's a it's tough, you know, depending on the position.

279
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 13: Calf strains are never fun, you know, it's it's one

280
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 13: of those things that even when it happened in twenty twenty,

281
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:33,960
Speaker 13: it was.

282
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:36,200
Speaker 15: A different muscle, gastroc and solius.

283
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 13: And depending on which one it is. I mean, you're

284
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 13: pounding the ground all that different stuff. It's hard to

285
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 13: put pressure and it's hard to stop on the bull rush.

286
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:45,320
Speaker 13: So much of being an offensive lineman, you know, usually

287
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:47,200
Speaker 13: if you're like a dB. I know, some dbs and

288
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 13: some skill guys, they can come back and it's you know,

289
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:50,600
Speaker 13: kind of repetitive sess.

290
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 15: It's not too bad. They're not pounding the ground kind

291
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 15: of thing. But it's tough. It's tough.

292
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 4: What's yours great?

293
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 2: One?

294
00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 4: Two or three?

295
00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:00,560
Speaker 15: I don't remember, but it it was like it was naggy.

296
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:00,960
Speaker 15: It was uh.

297
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:04,480
Speaker 13: I I came back and you know, got a h

298
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:07,840
Speaker 13: got presidas in my left knee. Everything that happened on

299
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:09,880
Speaker 13: my left I think I was in a practice and

300
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:11,760
Speaker 13: I got a little low ankle sprain.

301
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 15: And it was just why me, God?

302
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 13: But it, uh, it all worked out. You know, we

303
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 13: wish I played a little bit better last year.

304
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 15: That's no, uh, no excuse, but yeah it was.

305
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:19,320
Speaker 3: It was stuff.

306
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 7: And I imagine your way effects that lower body into

307
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 7: it too.

308
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:25,120
Speaker 15: And like I said, what we do.

309
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 13: You know, if you're running and all you're doing is

310
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:29,720
Speaker 13: running off the ball and you know, you know, kind

311
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:31,960
Speaker 13: of going backwards and covering stuff like that, it's not

312
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 13: too bad. You can kind of lock it in place

313
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 13: and kind of work with it. But when you're pounding

314
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 13: into the ground, it really you really.

315
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:39,200
Speaker 15: Do feel it just feel like coming home at all

316
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:40,440
Speaker 15: a little bit.

317
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:43,600
Speaker 13: I'm from northern Virginia, but my wife is from forty

318
00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:46,560
Speaker 13: five minutes on the other side of Virginia, Craig County.

319
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:49,880
Speaker 13: You know, we'll probably put our roots down in a Rono, Virginia,

320
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 13: which is only like an hour.

321
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 11: And a half.

322
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:54,160
Speaker 13: So that's where her family lives now, and so it

323
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 13: feels a little bit like home.

324
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 4: You know.

325
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:58,360

326
00:12:58,400 --> 00:12:59,040

Speaker 13: He he's growing. He's about twenty three pounds at seven months,

332
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 13: so he's a big boy. And he he said his

333
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:14,199
Speaker 13: first word the other day and it wasn't dead ass.

334
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:16,200
Speaker 15: So I'm upset about it. But it was mom myself.

335
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:17,520
Speaker 15: She was She was stoked about that.

336
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:21,960
Speaker 13: Are the witnesses there are w I have video, I

337
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:23,680

338
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 13: saying it all day and then uh I called her

339
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:27,240
Speaker 13: last night and she said that he's been just saying

340
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:27,959
Speaker 13: it all all the time.

341
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 15: He knows that it gets a smile, so he's saying it.

342
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:31,080
Speaker 4: Uh.

343
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:31,960
Speaker 3: How about DeShawn?

344
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:33,559
Speaker 12: Are you guys getting a really good.

345
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 16: Video for how to lock Sean? It seems like so

346
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:39,600
Speaker 16: much as new, So maybe even what you guys.

347
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:43,120
Speaker 12: UH for did last six games last year couldn't be different.

348
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 10: So I was happy.

349
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:45,920
Speaker 15: Yeah, Uh, I know we had experienced a little bit

350
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:46,440
Speaker 15: last year.

351
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 13: You know, the the playbook didn't fully change, but it

352
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 13: was a little different personnel in different plays.

353
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:52,160
Speaker 15: You know, it's no excuse.

354
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:53,680
Speaker 13: We're one of the best offensive lines in the league

355
00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:55,920
Speaker 13: and we need to adjust to that. You know, last year,

356
00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:58,040
Speaker 13: being that we had all off season with DeShawn and

357
00:13:58,040 --> 00:13:59,679
Speaker 13: then you know, right before the season, we kind of

358
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 13: found out that he wasn't gonna be playing. You know,

359
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:03,960
Speaker 13: Jacobe played out of his mind and played amazing, and

360
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:06,439
Speaker 13: I love Jacobe, but we just, you know, we expected

361
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 13: number four. So it was a little bit of a

362
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:10,559
Speaker 13: change to go to kind of a heavier run kind

363
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:11,080
Speaker 13: of offense.

364
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:12,920
Speaker 15: And then you know, kind of change.

365
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:15,560
Speaker 13: That too, uh because he is a special special quarterback,

366
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 13: you know, kind of moveing uh to where he's running

367
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:18,679
Speaker 13: the ball and stuff like that.

368
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 15: So it was it was it was a little.

369
00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 13: Bit of an adjustment, but uh, you know, I believe

370
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 13: in our offensive line and you know, we should have

371
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:24,800
Speaker 13: done a little bit better.

372
00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 15: Why was what's the hardest part of making that those run?

373
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:29,480
Speaker 3: Is it something in technique or just patience?

374
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 13: And yeah, it's kind of uh play calling, and you

375
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 13: know it's you know that coach is good at what

376
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:34,360
Speaker 13: he does.

377
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:36,040
Speaker 15: You know, he's one of the best. I believe what

378
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 15: he does.

379
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 13: So you know, kind of, you know, adjusting to having

380
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:41,320
Speaker 13: a different quarterback, someone who can you know, really run out.

381
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 15: The backside of a out of a play.

382
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 13: You know, it is you know, you're when you're past blocking.

383
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:48,840
Speaker 15: You got to deal with someone who can who can

384
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 15: spread that field.

385
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:51,080
Speaker 13: Uh, so you know you gotta be able to get

386
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 13: your hands inside, you know, stay in front, use your

387
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:54,640
Speaker 13: feet to stay in front.

388
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:56,560
Speaker 15: And you know, you know, I.

389
00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:58,440
Speaker 13: Feel like this year we're kind of working on that

390
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:00,480
Speaker 13: a little bit of those drills and stuff like that

391
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 13: so we can we can get rolling early.

392
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 3: Nice that you've had so much stability of a liar,

393
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:09,040
Speaker 3: so I mean, really the only big change with Jac

394
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:11,760
Speaker 3: retired and now even for a second three year.

395
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:14,960
Speaker 15: Yeah, No, it's a blessing, you know, having Jack. Jack's

396
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 15: my guy.

397
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:16,960
Speaker 13: You know, he's a he's a buddy of mine. So

398
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:19,640
Speaker 13: you know, being able to you know, play with him,

399
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 13: get that chemistry. You know, last year having a new

400
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:26,080
Speaker 13: new center, but you know, still really smart center. JC

401
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:28,240
Speaker 13: was a great center and uh you know Ethan is

402
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:29,640
Speaker 13: coming into you.

403
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 15: Know, his second year being a great center.

404
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:34,080
Speaker 13: I believe, you know, our best ball and I've say

405
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:35,720
Speaker 13: this all the time, but I believe our best ball

406
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:36,320
Speaker 13: is in front of us.

407
00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:41,800
Speaker 7: Why this has been such a slow tail top for

408
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 7: the extra trans piece really scheduled that this is slow?

409
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 12: How anxious do you think the team that's working up

410
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:48,520
Speaker 12: to just start playing.

411
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 13: Yeah, no, I know that we're ready to start hitting.

412
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:53,160
Speaker 13: We you know, right now it's it's a lot of

413
00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:55,520
Speaker 13: mental you know, we gotta know where to go. You know,

414
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:57,400
Speaker 13: at the end of the day, it's ex's nose. You

415
00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:00,240
Speaker 13: gotta win the war between the ears, you know. So

416
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 13: I think right now we're you know, we were gritting

417
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:03,880
Speaker 13: at the teeth to kind of hit. But at the

418
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:05,640
Speaker 13: same time where where we want to know where to go,

419
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:07,920
Speaker 13: where to our techniques are fundamentals and all that different

420
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 13: stuff that you know, when the games get hard, it's

421
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 13: it's physical, but it's also mental, you know, So trying

422
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:16,080
Speaker 13: to trying to put you know, put practice together where

423
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:17,960
Speaker 13: we can do both and you know where we can

424
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:20,360
Speaker 13: hit a little bit, you know, protect our bodies, but

425
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:22,400
Speaker 13: also at the same time, you know, get ready and

426
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 13: sharpen that iron.

427
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:27,360
Speaker 12: Right when you guys start blogging in game for the

428
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:28,000
Speaker 12: Shawn and you.

429
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 16: Finally see what he's gonna be all about in terms

430
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 16: of which he's running.

431
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 12: Uh, you don't really have a lot of time for

432
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:35,160
Speaker 12: to come up with a line.

433
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:39,200
Speaker 16: Your luck that because of the three aircor games, your

434
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:41,080
Speaker 16: personal So how do you sort of make sure that

435
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:43,160
Speaker 16: you are really ready for how it's.

436
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 3: All the book you're shot.

437
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:46,240
Speaker 15: Yeah, No, I know it's gonna be an adjustment.

438
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 13: You know, playing those really good teams really early, you

439
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:52,680
Speaker 13: know it's gonna be it's gonna be tough. But at

440
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:55,040
Speaker 13: the same time, they're dealing with uh, you know, new

441
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:57,920
Speaker 13: players and new you know, wide receivers and all stuff.

442
00:16:58,000 --> 00:16:59,520
Speaker 13: There's a lot of growing pins every team has to

443
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:01,520
Speaker 13: go through. You know, hopefully we get those uh wrinkles

444
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:04,240
Speaker 13: out in the preseason, but you never know. If it

445
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:06,280
Speaker 13: does happen early in the season, we can still you know,

446
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:08,159
Speaker 13: turn around and you know, win some games. You know,

447
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:09,760
Speaker 13: we just gotta put him back to back and you know,

448
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 13: I feel like that's something that we haven't done since

449
00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:13,600
Speaker 13: twenty twenty is you know, really gone on a roll

450
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 13: and win too three four games at a time. But

451
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:18,280
Speaker 13: the way you do that is one win, one at

452
00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:18,560
Speaker 13: a time.

453
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:19,920
Speaker 15: So we just got to focus on the.

454
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:23,399
Speaker 7: First considering you play Cincinnati, first, considering on the person

455
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:26,119
Speaker 7: two years in brow did the borough notice of who's

456
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:27,400
Speaker 7: get noticed yesterday?

457
00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:29,400
Speaker 13: I wasn't even thinking about that. I was praying for him,

458
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:33,119
Speaker 13: you know, I I've been through that. It sucks I

459
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:36,119
Speaker 13: I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy, you know.

460
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:37,840
Speaker 15: So I I'm just praying he gets back and he

461
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:38,240
Speaker 15: gets right.

462
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:40,280
Speaker 3: But I mean, just the news of it, Oh my god,

463
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:41,159
Speaker 3: to year what happened.

464
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:43,240
Speaker 13: I didn't let it sake in my mind. You know,

465
00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:45,199
Speaker 13: usually I'm not even listening to the media.

466
00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 15: Uh no offense. I love you guys, but.

467
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 13: Uh, you know, usually I don't have social media. My

468
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:52,199
Speaker 13: wife uh kind of runs my Instagram, so uh, you know,

469
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:54,480
Speaker 13: she she'll tell me stuff. But for the most part,

470
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:56,280
Speaker 13: I you know, I'm focused on football and focused on

471
00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:57,040

Speaker 13: It's uh, you know, you get to see someone who's

482
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:21,199
Speaker 13: you know, professional what they do, you know kind of

483
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:24,359
Speaker 13: that you know, martial arts kind of background. So it's like,

484
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 13: you know, all this different kind of striking you know,

485
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:28,160
Speaker 13: thumb placement, you.

486
00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:30,639
Speaker 15: Know where we're going, you know where we're at, you know,

487
00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:33,960
Speaker 15: putting your hat in front. You know, Bill, Bill knows

488
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:34,840
Speaker 15: how to line.

489
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 13: Up an offensive defense, you know, smarter than anybody I've

490
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 13: ever seen. And then you know, uh, you know, Scott

Speaker 13: really is you know, good at you know, showing us

492
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 13: the techniques. You know, at the end of the day,

493
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:44,800
Speaker 13: I think Bill makes the final call on most of

494
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:47,440
Speaker 13: the techniques. But you know he is, He's such a

495
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:49,160
Speaker 13: help and he is He's an awesome guy.

496
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:51,200
Speaker 3: Has he changed how you use your hands?

497
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:54,439
Speaker 13: Yeah, I mean I feel like, uh, you know, in

498
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:56,120
Speaker 13: twenty twenty, I.

499
00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:57,000
Speaker 15: Feel like they didn't really.

500
00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 13: Call holding calls, so you know I was just grabbing

501
00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:00,320
Speaker 13: people like this, you know, and now we have strike

502
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:03,240
Speaker 13: system all different stuff, so trying to lower the holding calls,

503
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:06,199
Speaker 13: you know, help the team out. But also at the

504
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:09,840
Speaker 13: same time, you know kind of you know, crisp everything

505
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:12,120
Speaker 13: up and you know, know what works against their pressure.

506
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:14,159
Speaker 15: You know, all this different stuff is you know what

507
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:14,760
Speaker 15: he's good at.

508
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 4: How much will the run block and change?

509
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:20,120
Speaker 3: You're telling more shot on the och?

510
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:22,080
Speaker 15: Yeah, I mean, at the end of the day, you know,

511
00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:23,520
Speaker 15: we have a great running back.

512
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:26,040
Speaker 13: I don't think that's gonna change, but it is gonna

513
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:28,480
Speaker 13: be a little different, you know, having the it's more

514
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:30,760
Speaker 13: probably a better question for the tackles because my hands

515
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:32,680
Speaker 13: should still be in the ground, you know, most of

516
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:35,000
Speaker 13: the time, unless if it's third down or something like that,

517
00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:36,200
Speaker 13: then you know, I gotta be up and.

518
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:38,000
Speaker 15: You know, reading the defense. But for the most part,

519
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:40,160
Speaker 15: you know, the center, the guards are usually down.

520
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:42,240
Speaker 13: We're kind of, you know, coming off the ball, and

521
00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:45,879
Speaker 13: that hasn't changed too much. You know, maybe our alignment

522
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:48,840
Speaker 13: and assignment might be slightly different with being in the gun,

523
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:51,119
Speaker 13: but at the at the same time, it's you know,

524
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:52,720
Speaker 13: we're coming off the ball and we're hitting.

525
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:57,199
Speaker 15: I don't know.

526
00:19:57,600 --> 00:19:59,480
Speaker 13: I guess that's a coach for that's a question for coach.

527
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:01,840
Speaker 13: But you know, I hope we run the ball, you know,

528
00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:04,199
Speaker 13: I feel like we have a great run game, but

529
00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 13: if if coach tells us to pass it, we're gonna pass.

530
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:09,560
Speaker 1: Finally, up today on from the podium, it's defensive tackle

531
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:14,840
Speaker 1: Dalvin Tomlinson talking about his relationship with Zadarius Smith, what

532
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 1: he's noticed from his fellow defensive lineman this training camp,

533
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:22,440
Speaker 1: and new defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz slow ramp up to the.

534
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:24,680
Speaker 9: Start of camp to you, Yeah, it's definitely different that

535
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:27,160
Speaker 9: I'm It's it's taking care of players, and I feel

536
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:30,960
Speaker 9: like everybody's feeling super like fresh good. It's not we

537
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:33,400
Speaker 9: don't got can't fatigue early on and stuff like that either.

538
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:35,840
Speaker 9: So it's it's it's definitely a different approach from me,

539
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:37,480
Speaker 9: but I feel like it's a good one.

540
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:39,720
Speaker 4: But you're ready for them all kind of.

541
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:40,840
Speaker 10: Oh, yeah, of course.

542
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 9: I always you know, a big guy'll always be looking

543
00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:45,240
Speaker 9: forward to, like the first day going against the offense

544
00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:45,960
Speaker 9: and pass.

545
00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:47,520
Speaker 10: You know, talk a little drunk and stuff on the

546
00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:48,080
Speaker 10: practice field.

547
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 3: You know, this defense seems very talkative so far.

548
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:55,720
Speaker 14: Is that kind of a fun part of these practices?

549
00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:57,280
Speaker 14: Way to get your guys amp up?

550
00:20:57,320 --> 00:20:59,480
Speaker 9: I guess, oh for sure. Yeah, I think coach sports.

551
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:02,120
Speaker 9: You know, the biggest part with that. Everybody was talking,

552
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:04,520
Speaker 9: having fun, and we love to compete, so we always

553
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:07,200
Speaker 9: competing with each other and just go against offense and

554
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:08,359
Speaker 9: compete even more, just.

555
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:09,919
