1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,840 Speaker 1: Everyone, you can identify who's stood out this spring and 2 00:00:02,920 --> 00:00:03,800 Speaker 1: cut your eye. 3 00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:07,200 Speaker 2: I think everybody's done a good job of improving from 4 00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:09,600 Speaker 2: where we started to where we are now. We talked 5 00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:11,840 Speaker 2: about that this morning. We made a lot of improvements 6 00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:15,720 Speaker 2: in a number of areas, both individually and collectively as groups. 7 00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:18,040 Speaker 2: And you know that's what this time of year is for. 8 00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:21,040 Speaker 2: And training camp will be here in thirty four days, 9 00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:23,760 Speaker 2: so you know, we got to hit the ground running. 10 00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:29,240 Speaker 2: What do you send them off with after this this 11 00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:32,120 Speaker 2: quick practice today, As far as you know, the typical 12 00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:35,840 Speaker 2: get better, don't get in trouble, do a lot of stuff. 13 00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:39,560 Speaker 2: Is that kind of your basic message to these guys. Yeah, 14 00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:43,000 Speaker 2: First and foremost, what we accomplished in the OTAs and 15 00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:45,800 Speaker 2: in phase one, Phase two and phase three, which we 16 00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:48,800 Speaker 2: put a lot of good work in, we can't lose 17 00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:52,200 Speaker 2: that in the next call it thirty days. In terms 18 00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:57,320 Speaker 2: of our physical abilities, our techniques, our training methods, we 19 00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:00,240 Speaker 2: have to come back when training camp hits. You know, 20 00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:04,479 Speaker 2: you have a don't have much tolerance for mistakes during 21 00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:07,760 Speaker 2: training camp seasons getting close, So we have to be 22 00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:10,120 Speaker 2: prepared mentally and we have to be prepared physically. Then 23 00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:12,880 Speaker 2: we have to make good choices and decisions outside of 24 00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:15,440 Speaker 2: the building. You used of a routine for the last 25 00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:18,360 Speaker 2: three months, and you want to represent yourself in the 26 00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:19,480 Speaker 2: organization the right way. 27 00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:21,640 Speaker 3: Talked a lot of talk me a lot about, you know, 28 00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,080 Speaker 3: the plan for Jackson and how you're going to a 29 00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:26,720 Speaker 3: press him and move him along when you when you 30 00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:28,760 Speaker 3: look at that duel, though, is it just kind of 31 00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:30,920 Speaker 3: go do it well? 32 00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:33,480 Speaker 2: I think all the rookies have a of a learning curve. 33 00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:38,480 Speaker 2: A duel has some special traits about him. You know, 34 00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:40,480 Speaker 2: some of them you can see out here. Obviously his 35 00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:43,440 Speaker 2: ability to bend and get off and you know, create 36 00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:45,920 Speaker 2: some issues in the backfield. But you know, we have 37 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:47,520 Speaker 2: to play the run game, we have to play the 38 00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:50,960 Speaker 2: pass game. He's smart and he's picked up things. We've 39 00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:54,280 Speaker 2: We've used him in a number of different areas. You know, 40 00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:56,760 Speaker 2: I'm glad he's here. He's done a nice job with 41 00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:58,760 Speaker 2: all the additions you made on defense. 42 00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:01,360 Speaker 4: Did you ever sit down with Shane and kind of say, like, 43 00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:03,400 Speaker 4: all right, let's let's see some of the creativity now 44 00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:05,280 Speaker 4: to use these different guys. 45 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:10,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, you constantly talk about that scheme, technique, 46 00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:14,600 Speaker 2: decision making process and certain down and distances areas of 47 00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:18,920 Speaker 2: the field. That's a continual conversation. We'll have those, you know, 48 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,720 Speaker 2: throughout training camp. Shane's done a nice job of orchestrating 49 00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:23,919 Speaker 2: all those things. As of the position coaches, there's a 50 00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:25,680 Speaker 2: lot of good give and take. You know, Mark Montmanual, 51 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:27,200 Speaker 2: we brought in from the Jets, who's had a lot 52 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:30,320 Speaker 2: of experiences, added a lot of value to our defensive staff, 53 00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:32,600 Speaker 2: as well as Dre and Cox and all the guys 54 00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:35,600 Speaker 2: that have been here. But that's a constant you know, 55 00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:39,520 Speaker 2: communication offense, special teams, defense. You really kind of figure 56 00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:41,960 Speaker 2: out your team throughout training camp and then the early 57 00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:43,440 Speaker 2: part of the year, and then you try to do 58 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:45,160 Speaker 2: what they do well. 59 00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:48,760 Speaker 4: Ran we haven't seen elite practice this spring or toked 60 00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:49,760 Speaker 4: him how's he doing? 61 00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:51,040 Speaker 2: He's doing good. Yep. 62 00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:53,880 Speaker 4: Any concerns about him being ready for the start a 63 00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:54,520 Speaker 4: training camp? 64 00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:57,280 Speaker 2: No, what was the what was. 65 00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:58,600 Speaker 1: The plan with him in the spring line? Is it 66 00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:01,760 Speaker 1: just a situation where just needed rest or like what's. 67 00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:03,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, we were just you know, every person's at a 68 00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:07,239 Speaker 2: different part and call it rehab if you will, or prehab, 69 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:09,480 Speaker 2: and you know, we just did what we thought was 70 00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:11,560 Speaker 2: best for Malik to try to get him as healthy 71 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:11,960 Speaker 2: as we can. 72 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:13,400 Speaker 4: When did you kind of realize he was going to 73 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:14,960 Speaker 4: need the rest because he did a lot of stuff 74 00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:15,680 Speaker 4: at the Pro Bowl and. 75 00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:16,919 Speaker 2: All, and then it was just you know, the gap 76 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:18,679 Speaker 2: to show up here and it hasn't really done too much. Yeah, 77 00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:20,600 Speaker 2: he's had some issues, you know, like I said in 78 00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:23,480 Speaker 2: the past in college with it, and again that's just 79 00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:25,720 Speaker 2: that was the plan that we came up with for 80 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:29,079 Speaker 2: him and for our football team with that experience, with 81 00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:31,480 Speaker 2: that ex thirty four days to train camp. Do you 82 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:34,800 Speaker 2: have a date for Campion? Yeah, we're again we're as 83 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:38,840 Speaker 2: Patty ash yesterday. We're real close on that, but it'll 84 00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:42,200 Speaker 2: be things change, But right now it'll be the twenty 85 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:45,960 Speaker 2: second injury about Cam secataboo and I'm sorry, Charlotte. No. 86 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:47,480 Speaker 2: Cam and Darius. 87 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:48,040 Speaker 5: How they're doing. 88 00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:52,200 Speaker 2: They're progressing. Yeah, again, we got thirty four days here. 89 00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:54,120 Speaker 2: We'll do everything they could do to get ready and 90 00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:55,720 Speaker 2: hopefully they'll be ready to go. 91 00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:57,960 Speaker 1: Did they do something here or they came in with 92 00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 1: something pretty distant? We didn't say him do much of anything. 93 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:02,280 Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean they're they're rehabbing and doing the things 94 00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:03,040 Speaker 2: we're asking to do. 95 00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:05,720 Speaker 4: It seems like you are on the side of caution 96 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,840 Speaker 4: in the spring with with like with putting guys out there, 97 00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:10,040 Speaker 4: especially in live drills. 98 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:13,920 Speaker 2: What's what's your philosophy. We're sort of on that philosophy 99 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:15,480 Speaker 2: is if they're ready to go there, they're gonna be 100 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:17,320 Speaker 2: out there, and if they're not, they're going to rehab. 101 00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:20,240 Speaker 4: I think the same standards as great, you know, as 102 00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:23,039 Speaker 4: season wise as you're saying one more time, did the 103 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:25,880 Speaker 4: same standard as you know the summer and season same thing. 104 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, if guys are ready to go to participate in 105 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:30,039 Speaker 2: the things we needed to do, they'll do it. And 106 00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 2: if they're you know, we think it's better served that 107 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:33,680 Speaker 2: they're rehabbing and doing the things they need to do 108 00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,320 Speaker 2: with the trainers, and then we'll do that. That experience 109 00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:38,560 Speaker 2: that you said Mark Plant brings to the secondary. How 110 00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:42,360 Speaker 2: have you seen that impact Deonce specifically? Yeah, i'd include 111 00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:45,160 Speaker 2: Jeff Burst in that as well. Those guys have done 112 00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:48,080 Speaker 2: a nice job. But again time will tell here as 113 00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:50,880 Speaker 2: we as we get going and it's more competitive and 114 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:54,120 Speaker 2: we're playing against other guys. But they've done a nice job. 115 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:57,000 Speaker 1: At this point, we've seen Deonta and Cordell obviously rotate 116 00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:58,960 Speaker 1: a lot. Do you just view that spot as an 117 00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:00,159 Speaker 1: open competition. 118 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, I would. I would say that, you know, we'll 119 00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:04,000 Speaker 2: we'll find out who the starters are at the end 120 00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:07,400 Speaker 2: of training camp. Guys are getting different reps against different people, 121 00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:09,839 Speaker 2: not just in that spot, in different areas as well, 122 00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:12,640 Speaker 2: and we'll give everybody an opportunity to earn their role. 123 00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 1: But some guys obviously called get any ref for the twos, 124 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:17,520 Speaker 1: So just really that spot's are different than Paulsen doesn't 125 00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:18,440 Speaker 1: take any ref with the two's. 126 00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:22,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, again, there's open competition in a lot of spots, 127 00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:25,760 Speaker 2: you know, and we'll give everybody an opportunity to earn 128 00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,200 Speaker 2: the role, and whoever earns it will be the ones 129 00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:31,120 Speaker 2: that play that cornerback two spot is open. Then, yeah, 130 00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:32,720 Speaker 2: I'd say there's a number of spots over I'm not 131 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:34,880 Speaker 2: going to get into specific stuff. They think a lot 132 00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,400 Speaker 2: of Deonte, we think a lot of flat. They're both 133 00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:40,080 Speaker 2: produced for us and you know a number of different ways, 134 00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:44,680 Speaker 2: and they both deserve an opportunity to compete. I guess 135 00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:48,080 Speaker 2: today Russ, you know, kid his fourteenth season. 136 00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,919 Speaker 3: I know it's his first year year, you know, was 137 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:52,719 Speaker 3: presented with well you're looking forward to taking a little 138 00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:53,040 Speaker 3: bit of. 139 00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:53,520 Speaker 2: A break now. 140 00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:58,120 Speaker 5: And he was like, no, is that just kind of 141 00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:00,800 Speaker 5: something he said, Or do you expect to take a break? 142 00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:02,120 Speaker 2: He was like, no, I wish we could keep going. 143 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:04,200 Speaker 2: I wish we'd keep going. Yeah, I think he's got 144 00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:06,760 Speaker 2: a routine after being in the league for fourteen years. 145 00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:10,240 Speaker 2: He you know, he loves this whole process, loves the spring, 146 00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:12,400 Speaker 2: the weight room, loves doing everything he do to get 147 00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:14,159 Speaker 2: ready for a season. That's why he's had the success 148 00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:16,640 Speaker 2: that he's had. You know, I'm sure he'd keep going 149 00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:18,800 Speaker 2: if he could keep going, But he has a good 150 00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:20,880 Speaker 2: routine that he's followed for a number of years to 151 00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:25,200 Speaker 2: get himself ready for July. Make quarterbacks more. 152 00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:28,120 Speaker 4: Quarterbacks a little different position than most in regards to, 153 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:30,679 Speaker 4: you know, the information and what you ask from them 154 00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:34,880 Speaker 4: quarterback talking about I'm with you, I'm sure with Jackson, 155 00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:38,040 Speaker 4: what do you tell him, you know, in the next 156 00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:40,440 Speaker 4: six weeks or whatever going into the summer, Like, what's 157 00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:42,760 Speaker 4: your advice to him on sort of the best way 158 00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:43,960 Speaker 4: to handle this quarterback? 159 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not much different than than the other positions. 160 00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:51,520 Speaker 2: He's going to have time to work on his craft 161 00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:54,920 Speaker 2: individually fundamentally when he goes away. But he's going to 162 00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:57,440 Speaker 2: have to do a good job of staying in his 163 00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:00,200 Speaker 2: his iPad, if you will, and reviewing. The thing thing 164 00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:01,640 Speaker 2: is that we've covered, you know, you can't have much 165 00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:03,960 Speaker 2: contact with them during the next few weeks until they 166 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,440 Speaker 2: get back. The rookies will be back earlier than the veterans. 167 00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:08,760 Speaker 2: We'll get going with him, but he's got a lot 168 00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:10,000 Speaker 2: of you know, a lot of studying to do. I 169 00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:13,000 Speaker 2: know he'll do that.
