1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:04,720 Speaker 1: As an assistant coach, when there's some uncertainty about staff 2 00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:07,680 Speaker 1: changes that might take place during your off season, what's 3 00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:10,399 Speaker 1: your approach to that. Do you just just part of 4 00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:13,399 Speaker 1: the job or Yeah, I've been coaching for a long 5 00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:15,920 Speaker 1: time and that's always uh, you know, there's always a 6 00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:19,560 Speaker 1: chance of stuff happening. But for me, it's, uh, you 7 00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:21,880 Speaker 1: can control what you can control. You're gonna come to work, 8 00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:23,279 Speaker 1: You're gonna work as hard as you can, and you 9 00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:25,079 Speaker 1: gotta do that day and day out, no matter what 10 00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:27,440 Speaker 1: the situations are. And that's the stamp you want to 11 00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:33,240 Speaker 1: leave as a professional and as coach. Marcus Golden talked 12 00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:35,640 Speaker 1: to us a little bit yesterday about how much getting 13 00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:40,120 Speaker 1: to double digits means to a pass rusher, the idea 14 00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:43,040 Speaker 1: of getting to that point. What I mean, what have 15 00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:48,200 Speaker 1: you seen from Marcus this entire season that you expected 16 00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:50,000 Speaker 1: and maybe he didn't expect to see when you coach 17 00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:52,280 Speaker 1: him for the first time. Yeah. The thing about Marcus, 18 00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:54,360 Speaker 1: as soon as you're around him, you feel his energy, 19 00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:57,880 Speaker 1: his enthusiasm is loving the game. So he's a guy 20 00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:00,560 Speaker 1: that plays a lot of He's in ends all the time, 21 00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:02,639 Speaker 1: whether it's the meeting room or practice or walk through 22 00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:05,240 Speaker 1: the games. Uh, so that that part has been awesome 23 00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:07,360 Speaker 1: to be around. And then uh, the other part that 24 00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:11,199 Speaker 1: I was probably uh didn't know one way or the other, 25 00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:13,600 Speaker 1: but his um how he rubs off on the other guys, 26 00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:16,679 Speaker 1: his leadership, uh you know, how he kind of helps 27 00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:19,160 Speaker 1: and talks to and um, you know, brings other guys 28 00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:22,080 Speaker 1: along with him on and and kind of pulls everybody 29 00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:24,880 Speaker 1: in that positive direction. I think it's been really really 30 00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:27,840 Speaker 1: uh fun to watch and be around. What kind of 31 00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:30,399 Speaker 1: satisfaction do you get as a coach to see a guy, 32 00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:32,920 Speaker 1: you know, kind of reach his potential like that? Well, 33 00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:35,199 Speaker 1: I think as as a coach, you always take pride 34 00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:37,399 Speaker 1: and and and when the guys do well, and you 35 00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:39,479 Speaker 1: always you know, it always catches pretty deep when when 36 00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:42,640 Speaker 1: they don't maybe do as well as you wanted them to. So, uh, 37 00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:45,080 Speaker 1: to have a guy have success, you think it's great. 38 00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:47,560 Speaker 1: I also know that he wants more, you know, and 39 00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:49,600 Speaker 1: I know that he could point you out some some 40 00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:51,200 Speaker 1: more places that he could have made or wanted to 41 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:53,960 Speaker 1: make or things like that. So um, you know I 42 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,280 Speaker 1: think that uh, you know, there's always that goal. Hey, 43 00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:58,240 Speaker 1: you know, it's never good is never good enough, and 44 00:01:58,240 --> 00:01:59,960 Speaker 1: great is never great enough, so you always want to 45 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:01,960 Speaker 1: try to get more and more out of it. And uh, 46 00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:04,680 Speaker 1: you know you gotta keep working to get that. You know, 47 00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:06,200 Speaker 1: I don't think you ever kind of stay the same 48 00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:08,560 Speaker 1: either taking you know, a little mini steps back or 49 00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:11,400 Speaker 1: many steps forward throughout your progress in your career. And 50 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:15,840 Speaker 1: you gotta focus on keeping the Ford momentum in the 51 00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:19,160 Speaker 1: Ford progress going. You weren't here at this time last year. 52 00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:22,440 Speaker 1: But there was so much optimism about Lorenzo Carter off 53 00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:26,160 Speaker 1: his rookie season. Everything he showed. Is that feelings still 54 00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:28,920 Speaker 1: exist after this season or did he not progress as 55 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:30,760 Speaker 1: much as everybody thought he? What he was talking about 56 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:33,960 Speaker 1: ten sacks in the preseason. Sure, I think everybody's saying. 57 00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:36,400 Speaker 1: Kind of conversation that you have with Marcus, you know 58 00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:38,720 Speaker 1: what you want, you know, you want guys that are hungry, 59 00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:42,040 Speaker 1: that expect a lot of themselves, and um, I want 60 00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:44,800 Speaker 1: to set high goals. No one rises to low expectations 61 00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:47,080 Speaker 1: kind of thing. And you know, he's a guy that 62 00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:49,119 Speaker 1: you know, he puts a lot on himself and and 63 00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,399 Speaker 1: I think that he's you know, he's worked, I mean 64 00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:53,280 Speaker 1: as hard as he's worked, and you know, it's been 65 00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:54,880 Speaker 1: over the last month or so, and you know he 66 00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:57,200 Speaker 1: keeps working to get better and better and better. I 67 00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:59,520 Speaker 1: think it showed up a little bit uh last weekend 68 00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:01,680 Speaker 1: whole fully. You can keep building off of that and 69 00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:04,280 Speaker 1: keep going. What is the difference like the last weekend, 70 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:06,919 Speaker 1: Like you said, we thought it was doing his best games? 71 00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:11,280 Speaker 1: Said the same, What is it that makes it one 72 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:14,040 Speaker 1: of his best games? That that make that gives him success? It? 73 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:16,839 Speaker 1: What's his key to success when he actually sure there's 74 00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:19,320 Speaker 1: probably throughout the course of the game and there's whatever 75 00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:22,720 Speaker 1: it is, say, seventy ninety has sixty plays. Uh, you 76 00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:25,919 Speaker 1: know each one of those is an individual individual uh 77 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,560 Speaker 1: spot you or an individual effort. So uh to be 78 00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:31,000 Speaker 1: able to stack those probably and put those together, you 79 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:32,800 Speaker 1: know where you're having more and more positives and be 80 00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:35,600 Speaker 1: able to put that and that's probably the key. Uh. 81 00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,240 Speaker 1: Just you know, there's always you know, good bursts, you know, 82 00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:40,560 Speaker 1: and just be able to stack those good ones one 83 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:43,320 Speaker 1: play at a time throughout the course of the seventy plays. 84 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:44,880 Speaker 1: I think that's what makes the difference for a guy. 85 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:47,160 Speaker 1: What's the biggest thing with Shane needs to do from 86 00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:49,240 Speaker 1: now until next year? I made the next up, Yeah, 87 00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:52,360 Speaker 1: I think that you always want to get bigger, faster, stronger, 88 00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:54,960 Speaker 1: learn more, study more, you know. I think that there's 89 00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 1: a million different things guys can do, whether it's a 90 00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:00,960 Speaker 1: rookie or or even a vet, whether it's uh continue 91 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:05,120 Speaker 1: to gain knowledge by watching others or self evaluations, uh, 92 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:07,800 Speaker 1: and also how you train, how you work. And I 93 00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,120 Speaker 1: think the experiences that he's had, I think is gonna 94 00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:13,120 Speaker 1: help leave frog him into more and more success and 95 00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:15,040 Speaker 1: give him a better idea of exactly what he has 96 00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:18,159 Speaker 1: to prepare for during the off season. Is that one 97 00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:20,080 Speaker 1: thing he needs a music, bigger show. And it was 98 00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:21,880 Speaker 1: like the first thing, one of the first thing he said, 99 00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,600 Speaker 1: coming from where he came to this league, is that 100 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,840 Speaker 1: something that you see. I think that's probably yeah. I 101 00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,600 Speaker 1: think that's probably a blanket for all guys. You know, everybody, 102 00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:31,880 Speaker 1: I don't you know, Hey, I need to get a 103 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,040 Speaker 1: little slower, a little smaller, you know. I think everybody 104 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,680 Speaker 1: kind of wants to hit the offseason training program with 105 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:38,440 Speaker 1: that thought process in mind. I guess is what I'm 106 00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:42,600 Speaker 1: more meant by it, He's be because you know, sometimes 107 00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:44,719 Speaker 1: you guys come in it's a different level. No, no, 108 00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,960 Speaker 1: And I had been whole and I guess that's the point. 109 00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:49,760 Speaker 1: So you know, you go, okay, hey, uh you know, 110 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:51,360 Speaker 1: now that you've been through this and you've seen it, 111 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:52,919 Speaker 1: now you know what it takes. And you know, I 112 00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:55,200 Speaker 1: think that will uh, you know, encourage him to you 113 00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:56,800 Speaker 1: know where he's a hard worker in the weight room 114 00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:58,680 Speaker 1: and you know he mean when you you guys have 115 00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:00,040 Speaker 1: been around him and seeing it, so you know he 116 00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:02,160 Speaker 1: some arms certainly don't look like mine. I mean, he's 117 00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:05,120 Speaker 1: jacked up pretty good looking do so, uh, you know, 118 00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:07,200 Speaker 1: I think that he'll continue to have that mindset. He's 119 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:09,440 Speaker 1: a guy that's you know, he's very prideful, super intense 120 00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:11,000 Speaker 1: about it. Uh you know, so I think that that 121 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 1: will probably drive him, you know to uh you know, 122 00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:15,920 Speaker 1: get better and better at what he's doing in all 123 00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:20,560 Speaker 1: the phases mentally, physically, the whole deal. Come back. Yeah, 124 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:22,680 Speaker 1: and when you have a layoff like he had, it's 125 00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:24,440 Speaker 1: you know, it's always hard to come back and get 126 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:26,680 Speaker 1: into that quote unquote football shape. You know, you can 127 00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:29,320 Speaker 1: always run, uh you know, with the strength and conditioning 128 00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:30,520 Speaker 1: and you know, and do it on your own and 129 00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:31,920 Speaker 1: all that stuff, but to be able to get out 130 00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:33,440 Speaker 1: there and do it on the field and be with 131 00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:35,520 Speaker 1: the guys. I think is always the challenge, you know, 132 00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:39,760 Speaker 1: that stopping sudden bursts, sudden stops and then uh, you know, 133 00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:41,760 Speaker 1: getting going again. I think that's a different type of 134 00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,840 Speaker 1: you know, uh game shape, I guess is the best 135 00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,040 Speaker 1: way to say it. So he's doing thing about him. 136 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,160 Speaker 1: He's just mentally he's been in it the entire time. 137 00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:51,599 Speaker 1: You know, he's uh, you know, he's a very smart 138 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:54,039 Speaker 1: guy that uh knows the system and you know, for 139 00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:55,200 Speaker 1: him to be able to come out and get some 140 00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:56,200 Speaker 1: repstur Us have been great.
