1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:01,720
Speaker 1: So I think you guys are having fun out there,

2
00:00:01,720 --> 00:00:08,719
Speaker 1: and yeah, how's the competition level. The competition level is actually, uh,

3
00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:10,879
Speaker 1: it's at a high level. You know, everybody coming to

4
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:13,240
Speaker 1: worry every day, and I feel like everybody wants to

5
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:15,800
Speaker 1: get better every day. So I think that's the biggest

6
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:18,360
Speaker 1: difference of this group just coming each day and wanted

7
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:23,959
Speaker 1: to actually be better than yesterday. How much you feel

8
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:26,920
Speaker 1: like you've grown from a football RT perspective in this

9
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:33,040
Speaker 1: defense as opposed to last I mean, I'm not sure

10
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:36,480
Speaker 1: if it's just the difference of the defense. I feel like, um,

11
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:38,400
Speaker 1: you know, as you watch film and just you know,

12
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:41,440
Speaker 1: keep coming to practice every day, and like each year

13
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 1: it's different. You know, you learn more each of you

14
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:47,239
Speaker 1: you're in the business. How different is it getting a

15
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:50,920
Speaker 1: play called from the safety instead of a linebacker. It's

16
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:53,960
Speaker 1: a little difference just because last year, I mean obviously

17
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:56,639
Speaker 1: I was calling it and then um, just having to

18
00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:59,480
Speaker 1: get the communication from somebody else. That's the only difference.

19
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 1: I mean, we're still communicating as a defense, and um,

20
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 1: everyone's still talking. So it's cool. You played the plate

21
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 1: before the injury and after the injury. How does he look?

22
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 1: He looks good, you know, the whole linebacker of course

23
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 1: looking good. You know, we're pushing each other, everybody coming

24
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 1: to work each day, So I feel like that's important.

25
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 1: I mean, he's coming off a major injury. Does he

26
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:22,039
Speaker 1: looks like he's moving around the soon as you remember? Oh? Yeah,

27
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 1: for sure. Yeah he looks good. You looked a team

28
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:28,959
Speaker 1: in the tackles last year. Yet you come into a

29
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 1: new situation with new coaches and all that. Is there

30
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 1: anything that in your head you go, I have to

31
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:37,759
Speaker 1: prove myself again? Or um. I feel like each year

32
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:39,679
Speaker 1: you as a as a player, you should want to

33
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 1: you know, be better than you were last year. So

34
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 1: I know I did lead a team, but it's in

35
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:46,840
Speaker 1: the past. I'm you know, I'm worried about right now

36
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 1: and what we're doing today. So just trying to be

37
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 1: a better player and a whole. Can take it as

38
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 1: a challenge. When they draft as many but they got

39
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 1: to three linebackers, you take that as a challenge that

40
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 1: they're you know, you gotta win your spot back. I

41
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 1: mean I just you know, come to work and try

42
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 1: to set the standards as it is, you know, try

43
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 1: to show them how it is to kind of work

44
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:11,240
Speaker 1: each day and just compete. Tell you, guys, you had

45
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:15,400
Speaker 1: the one of former players come through and the team.

46
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:17,800
Speaker 1: What's it like having Eli Manning out there and do that.

47
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 1: It's a different level than that was pretty cool. I

48
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:22,680
Speaker 1: can't a lot. That was cool. I mean she's growing

49
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:26,079
Speaker 1: up watching Eli and uh just saying all the great

50
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 1: things he did and you know, to come back and

51
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:29,640
Speaker 1: talk to the team. I feel like that that means

52
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 1: a lot to the team and everyone in the building.

53
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 1: He hasn't been around because covid at going to do

54
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 1: these these types of things since your first time. Kind

55
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 1: of yeah, yeah, I was excited. You know, it's it's

56
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 1: it's a blessing to be in a position that we're

57
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 1: in and just to have someone come and talk like him,

58
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 1: it's amazing. Did you notice ab the sidelines and during

59
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 1: practice listen, Well the message, you know, just come out

60
00:02:57,760 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 1: every day and um, don't take it for granted, you know,

61
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 1: just come and be ready to work. Um, just have

62
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:09,399
Speaker 1: fun with it. Baltimore, it's a place where Wink comes from,

63
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 1: is a place that is known for linebackers. Did that

64
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 1: when they hired Wink? Did that? Did that resonate with

65
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 1: you like this Baltimore has had a lot of great linebackers.

66
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 1: I mean, I just feel like he was aggressive, kind

67
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 1: of play color or whatever, and um, I knew it

68
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 1: was gonna be fine, you know, just having him as

69
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:29,360
Speaker 1: a coordinator,
