1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,680
Speaker 1: Paul. He's one of the guys who maybe was a

2
00:00:02,720 --> 00:00:04,320
Speaker 1: surprise to some of us to be on the roster.

3
00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:05,880
Speaker 1: What did you see from him throughout training camp for

4
00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:07,040
Speaker 1: the preseason.

5
00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:06,880
Speaker 2: That you like?

6
00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:08,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, he made a lot of plays. I mean he

7
00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:09,399
Speaker 3: was all over the place.

8
00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:12,000
Speaker 2: There's a play last game he was outside one hash

9
00:00:12,039 --> 00:00:14,040
Speaker 2: made the play all the way outside the other number

10
00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:18,880
Speaker 2: athletic player plays, really good fundamental technique, really bought into

11
00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:19,520
Speaker 2: what we're doing.

12
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:21,360
Speaker 3: He's done a really good job.

13
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:25,160
Speaker 2: Good pass rusher, so good combination. Still a young player

14
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:25,759
Speaker 2: and there's a lot of.

15
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:26,440
Speaker 3: Upside to him.

16
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:28,960
Speaker 2: But his body of work and we talked about this,

17
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:31,360
Speaker 2: the body of work over the time training camp and

18
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:33,959
Speaker 2: even in OTAs was it was pretty impressive.

19
00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:35,800
Speaker 3: So really happy that he made the team.

20
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:39,480
Speaker 2: How hard is it for a guy like Miles Cold

21
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:42,879
Speaker 2: to sort of once you get into the structure of

22
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:45,559
Speaker 2: the season to kind of get the extra practice time

23
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:47,800
Speaker 2: or the actual development of any means where you are

24
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 2: you're trying to game play games. Well, you know, part

25
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 2: of the thing with having the cutdowns is that there

26
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:56,240
Speaker 2: is more time for the guys that are left over,

27
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 2: you know that do make the team. So even though

28
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:01,280
Speaker 2: the time is cut down a little bit. There's less

29
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:03,400
Speaker 2: guys and so he'll still get the same amount of

30
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:04,960
Speaker 2: reps and things like that in practice.

31
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:07,400
Speaker 3: Make sure he's ready to go on Sunday.

32
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:11,119
Speaker 1: A defensive end on that ros, playing to play more

33
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 1: of the edge than maybe the only inside.

34
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 2: Time to play them all over yeah, all over all

35
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:18,560
Speaker 2: the positions. Smart player, he can do do it all

36
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:21,400
Speaker 2: in the run in the past game, so just was

37
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:22,720
Speaker 2: he's going to be all over the place.

38
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:29,959
Speaker 1: Seven in tier defensive linemen listed big number is their versatility.

39
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,120
Speaker 1: Part of why there were so many cap there.

40
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 3: Sure, I think it's a combination of everything.

41
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:37,560
Speaker 2: You know, we've got some good really interior players, but

42
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 2: then some guys that can flex out and play out

43
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 2: on the end. Different personnel groups and packages and things

44
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:45,199
Speaker 2: like that. So it allows you the flexibility of maybe

45
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 2: getting a little bit bigger in times when we need it.

46
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 2: But I think over all the group has done done

47
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 2: a good job and those guys are deserving of being

48
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 2: here and they've earned the spot.

49
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 3: You know.

50
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 2: Now it's just let's take the next step and get

51
00:01:57,520 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 2: into the game week next week and see how it.

52
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 3: Goes outside it. Are you as a coach for Josh and.

53
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 2: Trayvonn to be on the field together and play in

54
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 2: your system.

55
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 3: Very excited.

56
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:16,679
Speaker 2: Really good players have done a really good job. Last

57
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 2: preseason game was awesome have them out together. You had

58
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:21,960
Speaker 2: Eric back in this some of the tackles that you know, like,

59
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:23,640
Speaker 2: we've got a good group.

60
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 3: That group's gotta gotta play.

61
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:28,079
Speaker 2: They gotta play hard and they gotta play tough. Those

62
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 2: two guys, they got to do really good job on

63
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 2: the edges of crushing the edge and be able to

64
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:36,240
Speaker 2: provide some pass rush. You know, you don't always want

65
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 2: a pressure in the league, and you know, good defenses

66
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 2: have four man rushes and so those guys, look, they

67
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:44,679
Speaker 2: can play with finesse, they can play with power. They've

68
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 2: done a good job in the run game, you know,

69
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:48,519
Speaker 2: playing on the coming out of three point stance, things

70
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:53,359
Speaker 2: like that. So yeah, it's exciting. Good players, great people.

71
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 2: There are awesome guys to be around, and they come

72
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 2: out to practice. The thing about them that make them,

73
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 2: you know, the next level and the next step is

74
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,079
Speaker 2: they practice every day. There's not a day off. They

75
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 2: come out there. They're working every day to get better.

76
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 2: That's what you appreciate as a coach. You see their

77
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:10,079
Speaker 2: body of work and it's very impressive.

78
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 1: Is the collection of talent in that defensive line room.

79
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 3: Well, we'll see.

80
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 2: I think the season will tell us, right, you know,

81
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 2: it's it's talent is one thing, but you know, the

82
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 2: production and what we do and and things like that,

83
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 2: those are the things that we'll be judged on, right,

84
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 2: you know, how many plays we make, how many games

85
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 2: we win? You know, so yeah, you'd like to think

86
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:31,959
Speaker 2: everybody say, hey, we got a talented group and things

87
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 2: like that, right, and so let's get into the season

88
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 2: and then you know, let's talk about that midway or

89
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 2: three quarters away at the end of the season, and

90
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 2: then we'll have a good evaluation your impressions.

91
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 1: Just seeing Darnell out there in a game setting with

92
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 1: the rest of his demails on product.

93
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 2: Speed, he can run, I mean, he's in the racer,

94
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 2: he can close quickly like you know, and he's on

95
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 2: the physical tackler. It's really good to see it. A

96
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 2: couple of tackles on the sideline that was impressive. Threw

97
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 2: himself around in the run game, sure, you get everybody

98
00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 2: saw it. You know, he was in the box and

99
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 2: you know he's trying to do his job the best

100
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 2: of his ability, and so just that combination of run

101
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 2: and pass but coverage skills was really impressive. Star he

102
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 2: came here as a three four edge guy, So how

103
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 2: different is what you're asking him to do now as

104
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 2: a fourth three linebacker. Don't see a big difference because

105
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 2: he's still playing on the edge, he's still rushing, you know,

106
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 2: things like that. The thing that give him a lot

107
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:27,840
Speaker 2: of credit is his coverage. His zone coverage in space.

108
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 2: Been very impressive with what he's done with that.

109
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:31,719
Speaker 3: Just learning.

110
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:34,119
Speaker 2: Matt's done a great job coaching teaching him, like getting

111
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 2: him in space and his match route matches and things

112
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 2: like that. But like you saw in pass rush, it's

113
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:44,119
Speaker 2: the it's the other stuff that you know, he's grown

114
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 2: his game. He's improved a lot. So that's it's really cool,

115
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 2: Like you know what, when we get here and you

116
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:51,800
Speaker 2: kind of work it out and you start visiting with

117
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:53,840
Speaker 2: the coaches where you kind of see these guys and

118
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:56,040
Speaker 2: he's in the right role, Like he's in the right

119
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 2: spot and he's done a.

120
00:04:57,480 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 3: Really good job.

121
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 2: But it's his role, Chad, that that's a unique role

122
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 2: in our defense, and and those guys have done a

123
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 2: really good job. They made some plays. Now, like in

124
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 2: coverage wise, it's like it's pretty good.

125
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 1: Eric's presence similar to what it was like coaching Khalais.

126
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:13,839
Speaker 2: Last year in Atlanta.

127
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 1: Obviously bigger versus defensi linement, but also you know.

128
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:20,800
Speaker 2: How a little bit a little bit. Eric's such a

129
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 2: look very good person as well as Kalais. Like there

130
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 2: there are awesome people and and really looking forward to

131
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:29,360
Speaker 2: see Kalais after the game, you know, but because he's

132
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 2: a he is a good person, awesome guy who was

133
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:34,719
Speaker 2: really fun to be around him. Last year, Eric provides

134
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 2: the veteran leadership. He's a coach like you hear him

135
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 2: in the meeting rooms and hey, I see it like

136
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 2: this and I'm talking and it helps the younger guys

137
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:47,599
Speaker 2: very So it's a similar role. You know, we're gonna

138
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 2: play him maybe a little bit similar, but then differences

139
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 2: too now because two different players, you know. So, but

140
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 2: there's there's some similarities to him. But I can't say

141
00:05:56,279 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 2: enough about the people, really great great guys, found fantastic men.

142
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 3: Basis, you'll get in there. We're getting there.

143
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 2: I mean it's it's it's a work in progress. I

144
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:11,280
Speaker 2: mean it's gonna be that's gonna be the same answer

145
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 2: throughout the season, you know, every day. Is what you

146
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:15,839
Speaker 2: want him to do is just take a little step.

147
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 2: You know, Game one to game two will be the

148
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,479
Speaker 2: biggest jump. That will be the big you know, preseason

149
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 2: game one to preseason game two that was a jump

150
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:28,039
Speaker 2: game one. When it's you know he's playing to game two.

151
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:28,679
Speaker 3: That will be a jump.

152
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:31,040
Speaker 2: And then we'll just keep working him, you know, one

153
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 2: day at a time, just getting better. But he's done

154
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:36,000
Speaker 2: a really good job and fundamentals and technique, playing tough.

155
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 3: He can rush the passer. Now you see that. We

156
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 3: just got to finish on the quarterback and so we

157
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 3: can help him with that.

158
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:46,440

199
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:27,920

203
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:41,320
Speaker 2: helped him mature and grow and things like that. And

204
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:44,360
Speaker 2: so now now the process is, get on your routine.

205
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 2: I'm sure they've talked to him. Get on your routine

206
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 2: in the season. What's your Mondays? All the Mondays look

207
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:51,560
Speaker 2: the same, and the Tuesdays and the Wednesdays and work

208
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 2: all the way up until Sunday until game day. So

209
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:55,960
Speaker 2: that's been the biggest thing. It's been cool to see

210
00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:59,839
Speaker 2: the maturity of you know, he's just continues to mature

211
00:08:59,880 --> 00:09:01,439
Speaker 2: and get better. I think that's what you're seeing on

212
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:01,880
Speaker 2: the field.

213
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 3: I think you mentioned that before.

214
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:06,760
Speaker 2: Making sure everything is the same, whether it's pretty season,

215
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:08,959
Speaker 2: training camp, wherever, and why is that important?

216
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 3: Treat every game market every day like it's Sunday.

217
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 2: So so Sunday is not different you know, like we

218
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 2: want to wear the same same gear, same price. And look,

219
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:21,080
Speaker 2: that's easy to say, right, that's you know, everybody's.

220
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:22,920
Speaker 3: But if you can take that.

221
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 2: Approach in the mindset, then when Sunday comes, man, I'm

222
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 2: ready to go. It's I don't have the there's the

223
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 2: indecision and the things like that create kind of uneasiness

224
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 2: for the player. We want everything to look and sound

225
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 2: and everything to be as close as we can to Sunday.

226
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:42,320
Speaker 2: So the player shows up, he knows his alignments and assignments,

227
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 2: and he goes plays a million miles an hour and

228
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:46,679
Speaker 2: plays fast and executes.

229
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 3: That's really important this league.

230
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 2: You have to execute, execute, play fast, play hard, play tough, violent,

231
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 2: those things like that, and we we want to do

232
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:59,720
Speaker 2: that every single day, so it's not different on Sunday.

233
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 3: Awesome. Thank you guys out grating
