You know, 29 00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:27,200 Speaker 1: at what point do you start getting at itch where 30 00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:31,800 Speaker 1: like it's getting closer and your body clock for somebody 31 00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:35,560 Speaker 1: like you, you have to there's got to be changes 32 00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:37,760 Speaker 1: that happened. Because he played in the league as well. Yeah, 33 00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:39,520 Speaker 1: this is twenty three years I think in the league, 34 00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,440 Speaker 1: so as a player and as a coach, and and uh, 35 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:44,600 Speaker 1: you know, you start thinking about it in that last 36 00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:46,679 Speaker 1: week or two. You know, it's good to get away 37 00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:48,680 Speaker 1: in the first couple of weeks, but then you start 38 00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:50,920 Speaker 1: missing the guys and stopping, you know, start missing being 39 00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:53,760 Speaker 1: on the grass and everything like that. And uh, you know, 40 00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:55,880 Speaker 1: while it's good to have a vacation, you know what 41 00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:57,680 Speaker 1: we're here for and we're here to win and try 42 00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,120 Speaker 1: to win a super Bowl, and and uh, you know, 43 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,200 Speaker 1: I really miss that when when you're off so along, 44 00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:04,920 Speaker 1: you get start getting bored a little bit. And I 45 00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:07,040 Speaker 1: mean it's hard to think that you can get board 46 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:10,560 Speaker 1: fishing every day. But um, I really enjoy it, like 47 00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:13,919 Speaker 1: really enjoy coaching, being on the grass and getting these 48 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:15,919 Speaker 1: young kids, you know, trying to get them right and 49 00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:18,920 Speaker 1: working with the kids and and uh, and I think 50 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,400 Speaker 1: that's that's the awesome part of the job. This roster 51 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:25,480 Speaker 1: has changed a lot since we last talked in this space. 52 00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:28,960 Speaker 1: We were in Mobile, Alabama at the Senior Bowl in January, 53 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:32,240 Speaker 1: and a lot of people think in terms of offense 54 00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:36,440 Speaker 1: defense rightfully, so, but that's gonna impact your unit, your 55 00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:39,800 Speaker 1: units as well. Yeah, anytime that that there's huge turnover 56 00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:41,640 Speaker 1: and everything like that. We had a really young group 57 00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:45,320 Speaker 1: last year, um, first year in the system. Guys came up, 58 00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 1: came in and did a pretty solid job. You know, 59 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:48,760 Speaker 1: there's a lot of things that that I would have 60 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:50,520 Speaker 1: liked to cleaned up from last year. But you know, 61 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:52,760 Speaker 1: it's exciting to have all these new kids in and 62 00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:55,400 Speaker 1: and uh, you know, a bunch of new veteran players, 63 00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:57,720 Speaker 1: a bunch of new young guys, and you know, and 64 00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:00,520 Speaker 1: infusing a life so to speak. And I think that, 65 00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,400 Speaker 1: you know, you have some really really talented kids. I 66 00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:08,280 Speaker 1: think you have some some grinder guys that that are 67 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:10,920 Speaker 1: that are that are smart and and uh, you know, 68 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,040 Speaker 1: can learn the system right away and can adjust to 69 00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:15,760 Speaker 1: what we're teaching and from their old systems and stuff 70 00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,720 Speaker 1: like that. And I think that, you know, I'm really 71 00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:20,840 Speaker 1: looking forward to to getting started with these guys, that's 72 00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:23,800 Speaker 1: for sure. You're all pro kick Returner took to social 73 00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:29,200 Speaker 1: media recently was not happy with his Men strength number 74 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:34,239 Speaker 1: they gave him fifty three. Yeah, so Braxton put out 75 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:37,480 Speaker 1: on social media said he basically doesn't mind, but it 76 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:42,120 Speaker 1: was he had a post with himself benching with the 77 00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:46,920 Speaker 1: shirt off, and you know, Burials is pretty it's pretty jacked. Yeah, 78 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:49,600 Speaker 1: he's pretty jacked. What I'll say to that is better 79 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,800 Speaker 1: be underrated than overrated him, right, And so you know, 80 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:56,080 Speaker 1: I think he's everybody sleeps on him and everything and 81 00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:58,360 Speaker 1: and uh because of a short stature and stuff like that. 82 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:00,280 Speaker 1: The kid has one hell of a football there and 83 00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:02,840 Speaker 1: does a great job for us. I know that he's 84 00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:05,240 Speaker 1: such a nice dude. He's so well liked inside the 85 00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:08,960 Speaker 1: locker room, and I know you love his approach. Um 86 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,720 Speaker 1: do you see the chip in terms of more so 87 00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:15,040 Speaker 1: on the field than the way he interacts with others. Oh, absolutely, 88 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:18,960 Speaker 1: I think that. You know, anytime a guy has doubted 89 00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,320 Speaker 1: as much as he is and you don't be honest 90 00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:22,920 Speaker 1: with you, I felt like that in my career, and 91 00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:25,680 Speaker 1: and uh, that chip on your shoulder never leaves you 92 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 1: and and you always have something to prove. And I 93 00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:30,520 Speaker 1: think that's probably what makes him work so hard and 94 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:33,720 Speaker 1: what makes him great. And I think that, you know, 95 00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,080 Speaker 1: the harder he works and the more he keeps thinking 96 00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:38,400 Speaker 1: about that, the better he's going to be in his career. 97 00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:40,880 Speaker 1: And you've seen him just every year he's gotten better 98 00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:42,800 Speaker 1: and better and better, and and uh, you know, I 99 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:45,160 Speaker 1: don't see any reason why he won't continue to do so. 100 00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:47,520 Speaker 1: You know, you're not living in the past. But your 101 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:51,479 Speaker 1: numbers across the board were so good last year kick return, 102 00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:56,720 Speaker 1: uh um, kick return coverage and punt return of course, 103 00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:00,200 Speaker 1: can you speak to that because by any measurement, you'd 104 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:02,800 Speaker 1: say you guys were top two in the league and 105 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:05,000 Speaker 1: each of those categories. Yeah, I think that, you know, 106 00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:07,760 Speaker 1: obviously it's a guy. It's it's all about the guys. 107 00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:10,680 Speaker 1: And and uh, can the guys block in space. Can 108 00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 1: they can they understand what we're trying to get get 109 00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:16,120 Speaker 1: done and and teach them. And the guys did uh 110 00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:18,599 Speaker 1: last year, they did a fantastic job. You know. There's 111 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:20,880 Speaker 1: got to be some things that we really improve on 112 00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:23,560 Speaker 1: this year. Some things I want to get better. Number one, 113 00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:25,880 Speaker 1: we gotta get rid of the damn penalties. Committed way 114 00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:29,400 Speaker 1: too many penalties last year. Um. But I thought the guys, 115 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:31,719 Speaker 1: you know, I think our double teams up to the 116 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:33,680 Speaker 1: safety need to get better. Some of our single work 117 00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:36,640 Speaker 1: needs to get better. Um. But I'm really excited about 118 00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:39,160 Speaker 1: the group that we've got and the guys and they 119 00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:41,680 Speaker 1: really take the coaching and and um, you know, for 120 00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:44,240 Speaker 1: such a young group last year, UM, you know, I'm 121 00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:46,479 Speaker 1: really excited to see where we can go a year 122 00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:49,040 Speaker 1: two and hopefully we can keep um, you know a 123 00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,480 Speaker 1: lot of these guys together and um, you know, I 124 00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:54,400 Speaker 1: hopefully we can. How tough is it for you? In 125 00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:58,760 Speaker 1: another opening day? Another new kicker. I know sometimes people 126 00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 1: would just say it's just the name cure of the business, 127 00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:04,719 Speaker 1: but Eddie came on board last year, goes eight for eight. 128 00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:09,040 Speaker 1: And then you had Greg the leg who's Zeroline, who 129 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:11,479 Speaker 1: has one of the strongest legs in the National Football League. 130 00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:13,599 Speaker 1: We're to see that competition playoff. Yeah, it's gonna be 131 00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:15,280 Speaker 1: It's gonna be interesting to see how that plays out 132 00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:17,960 Speaker 1: because it was so close in the spring. Um, you know, 133 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:20,320 Speaker 1: it was neck and neck in the spring, and both 134 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:22,520 Speaker 1: of them kicked really well, and and um, you know, 135 00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:25,440 Speaker 1: it'll be interesting to see how how those guys doing games. 136 00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:27,880 Speaker 1: Eddie came in, did a great job. Greg's obviously been 137 00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:31,000 Speaker 1: approven talent in this league. Um, they're both great guys. 138 00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:32,800 Speaker 1: Having the locker room, I'd take either one of them 139 00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:36,479 Speaker 1: right now. Um. And they they've they've done a great 140 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:38,920 Speaker 1: jobs since they've been here and adjusted to the room 141 00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:41,440 Speaker 1: as well. And you know, they've SNCD up really well 142 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:45,120 Speaker 1: with with Thomas and Bradon and and the operations, you know, 143 00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:48,800 Speaker 1: quick and precise and and that's what we can ask for. 144 00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:51,440 Speaker 1: And we'll see how it plays out during training camp. 145 00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:53,280 Speaker 1: And and you know, what it comes down to is 146 00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:55,680 Speaker 1: who kicks and does well in the games, you know, 147 00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:59,479 Speaker 1: And because I think they're very very similar, and both 148 00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:01,680 Speaker 1: of them approached the game the right way, and both 149 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:05,080 Speaker 1: of them are very serious and and you know, really 150 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,760 Speaker 1: I think they they think their job is important, obviously, 151 00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:11,360 Speaker 1: and they approach it that way. And and I really 152 00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:14,560 Speaker 1: look forward to that competition for sure. The lines numbers 153 00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:18,400 Speaker 1: over fifty yards fifty to fifty nine yards throughout his 154 00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:23,120 Speaker 1: career really something, Yeah, you're talking about in between. I 155 00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:28,160 Speaker 1: think it's probably around fifty five for his career fifty 156 00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:31,559 Speaker 1: nine and then Panero three for three in his career 157 00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:34,760 Speaker 1: fifty plus. And I think a lot of people thought 158 00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:38,080 Speaker 1: of him in terms of h he played at Florida. 159 00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:39,960 Speaker 1: I don't know if he can play up here in 160 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,160 Speaker 1: the Northeast. He didn't find job for you guys, stop 161 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:44,920 Speaker 1: of stretch. Yes he did. Like I think what people 162 00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:47,600 Speaker 1: you know obviously don't know about eighties he had. He 163 00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:50,880 Speaker 1: had some injury issues before he came here and and 164 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:53,440 Speaker 1: maybe he shouldn't even have kicked last year. Um, And 165 00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:55,120 Speaker 1: he sucked it up and did a hell of a 166 00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:57,440 Speaker 1: job for us. Um you know, came in and did 167 00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:00,200 Speaker 1: a great job. And so he uh you know that 168 00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:02,760 Speaker 1: that to me speaks to how important it is, um, 169 00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:05,320 Speaker 1: how how much he cares everything like that. And then 170 00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:07,800 Speaker 1: you've got Greg who's been, like I said, a proven talent, 171 00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:11,880 Speaker 1: um who's had a great career and it's gonna be 172 00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:13,880 Speaker 1: it's gonna be awesome to see these guys go head 173 00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:16,760 Speaker 1: to head during training camp. Yeah, how tough is it 174 00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:20,320 Speaker 1: for you as a coordinator of special teams that there's 175 00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:23,120 Speaker 1: just three games now because you just talked about, Hey, 176 00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:28,400 Speaker 1: practice is important, but for us, we got away what 177 00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:31,880 Speaker 1: you're doing under the light? Right, Yeah, I think you know, 178 00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:33,480 Speaker 1: it makes it hard with three games. You know, you 179 00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:35,440 Speaker 1: used to have five, used to have four, whatever it 180 00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:38,320 Speaker 1: is depending on the year, and and um, you know 181 00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:40,200 Speaker 1: you could see them under the lights, but what you 182 00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:42,080 Speaker 1: see is the big body of work, and you see 183 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:44,959 Speaker 1: their ball flight, and you see, um, how they adjust 184 00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:47,480 Speaker 1: and how they handle the pressure situations. And that's what 185 00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:49,439 Speaker 1: goes into the you know, when we sit down with 186 00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:52,400 Speaker 1: Sla and Joe and and um, you know, that's the 187 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:55,560 Speaker 1: decisions that we make as an organization moving forward. How 188 00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:57,920 Speaker 1: how are we going to proceed with that position and 189 00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:02,280 Speaker 1: that any position you know for for that matter. So, um, 190 00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:04,160 Speaker 1: you know that's that's a cool part about the job 191 00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:06,880 Speaker 1: is that you see how these guys compete head to head. 192 00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:08,439 Speaker 1: And if one guy goes out there and bangs of 193 00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:10,280 Speaker 1: four eight yarder and the next guy has a chance 194 00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:13,160 Speaker 1: to hit a fifty. Then then they compete with each 195 00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:15,680 Speaker 1: other all the time, and and they kick the same 196 00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:18,680 Speaker 1: same amount of balls, the same distances, the same hash 197 00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:23,480 Speaker 1: marks everything every day that we kick and so and 198 00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:25,480 Speaker 1: then and then you weigh all those factors in and 199 00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:27,520 Speaker 1: you come up with with who gives you the best 200 00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:30,400 Speaker 1: chance in the organization's eyes, right went but is not 201 00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:32,240 Speaker 1: live in New Jersey, and they're bringing the excitement of 202 00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:34,600 Speaker 1: the win Las Vegas to online sports betting, getting on 203 00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:37,360 Speaker 1: all your favorite teams players in sports, from boostep parlays 204 00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:39,600 Speaker 1: to live in game odds on every major sport.

Yeah, like you know, I was speaking 220 00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:21,200 Speaker 1: on on earlier Eddie's strength coming back this year, coming 221 00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:24,680 Speaker 1: coming off that injury early early last year. Um, his 222 00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:27,600 Speaker 1: strength is way better than it was last year. Um. 223 00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:30,440 Speaker 1: So those guys, all three of those guys, I would 224 00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:34,760 Speaker 1: have no problem starting as the as the starting kickoff guy. Um. 225 00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:36,760 Speaker 1: You know, I think they all can kick touchback saying 226 00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:39,680 Speaker 1: all mortar to both sides really well, Um, I think 227 00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:43,040 Speaker 1: that you know, they have a good arsenal on side kicks. Um, 228 00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:45,800 Speaker 1: So I'd have no problem putting any of them out there. 229 00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:48,400 Speaker 1: Can I ask you about del Shan Phillips. He doesn't 230 00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:51,160 Speaker 1: get a lot of the headlines, but he was a 231 00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:54,600 Speaker 1: core guy for you last year. Can you talk what 232 00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:57,480 Speaker 1: he brings the table across the board. I think that 233 00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:00,160 Speaker 1: del Shawn has done one heck of a job. Um. 234 00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:02,439 Speaker 1: You know, I think he's he's one of our obviously 235 00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:06,040 Speaker 1: our top linebackers in production and everything like that. Um, 236 00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:08,720 Speaker 1: what he does, he's a he's Basically, he's like a 237 00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:12,200 Speaker 1: silent assassin the guy. You know, he doesn't say much, um, 238 00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:14,160 Speaker 1: but he comes out and he works every day and 239 00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:16,480 Speaker 1: and um, you know, he does a really nice job 240 00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:19,640 Speaker 1: and coverage phases and you know, there's some things I'd 241 00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:22,040 Speaker 1: like to clean up with him, and being another year 242 00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:24,520 Speaker 1: in this system and stuff like that, we can get 243 00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:26,880 Speaker 1: that addressed and everything. But for him to come in 244 00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:31,160 Speaker 1: first year, all these new techniques that he's learning, um, 245 00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:33,360 Speaker 1: take a leadership role in in the room a little 246 00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:36,400 Speaker 1: bit um, you know, and and turn around and do 247 00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:38,280 Speaker 1: what he did last year, I think he's You're going 248 00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:41,240 Speaker 1: to see nothing but improvement from him moving forward, that's 249 00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:43,680 Speaker 1: for sure. I'm not really excited about him. How about 250 00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:46,400 Speaker 1: what you have on the outside. We talked about Justin 251 00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:51,480 Speaker 1: Hardy in the past and his leadership role and everything 252 00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:54,640 Speaker 1: he brings to the table. But I wanted to ask 253 00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:57,960 Speaker 1: you about Jeff Smith because he was flashing offensively during 254 00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:01,000 Speaker 1: the spring. He's got a great story, former college quarterback. 255 00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:03,880 Speaker 1: But uh, he's also a guy who I think has 256 00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:07,000 Speaker 1: thrived under your guys. Absolutely, I think Jeff has done 257 00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:09,600 Speaker 1: a great job. You know, you got Hardy out there, 258 00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:11,520 Speaker 1: and then you've got Jeff, and you've got a group 259 00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:13,960 Speaker 1: of guys who are gonna be fighting for those gunner positions. 260 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:17,720 Speaker 1: And and obviously with Hardy's leadership and and the way 261 00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:20,440 Speaker 1: that he has proven talent and and you know, he 262 00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:22,920 Speaker 1: plays with a dog mentality all the time and gets 263 00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:25,720 Speaker 1: after people and and uh, you know, I think he 264 00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:29,280 Speaker 1: needed a heck of a job last year. Jeff. I 265 00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:32,000 Speaker 1: don't think that you can anybody in this probably in 266 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:35,280 Speaker 1: this building, would would argue maybe had the best spring 267 00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:38,160 Speaker 1: out of any player that there is. Um you know, 268 00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:40,800 Speaker 1: at least that that I've seen, you know, especially on 269 00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:42,800 Speaker 1: special teams, and the way he works and the way 270 00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:45,960 Speaker 1: he prepares and and he practiced like a man on 271 00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:48,000 Speaker 1: a mission this spring, and I think that, you know, 272 00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:49,839 Speaker 1: there's some bright things that are going to come out 273 00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:52,080 Speaker 1: of that for Jeff. Um, you know, I really think so. 274 00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:54,280 Speaker 1: I think he's got you know, obviously he can run, 275 00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:57,719 Speaker 1: he's got talent um, and he's a worker, and uh, 276 00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:00,120 Speaker 1: I think he had just my own personal opinion, I 277 00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:02,280 Speaker 1: think he had one of the best springs that there is. 278 00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:06,360 Speaker 1: What changes for you and it's a tight end position 279 00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:09,800 Speaker 1: because you you really depended on those guys last year 280 00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:11,920 Speaker 1: West goes still on the roster. We know that, and 281 00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:14,520 Speaker 1: he kind of is a slash fullback. I don't even 282 00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:18,000 Speaker 1: know what we list them as offensively, but I know 283 00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:20,520 Speaker 1: you lean on him a lot. What about some of 284 00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:23,680 Speaker 1: the additions as well. Yeah, I mean we we obviously 285 00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:25,720 Speaker 1: try to get a lot out of our our fullback 286 00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:28,520 Speaker 1: and and tight end positions, you know, because we keep 287 00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:30,960 Speaker 1: five linebackers instead of six. So it really helps to 288 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:34,000 Speaker 1: have Nick Bowden here and guys like that that are 289 00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:36,240 Speaker 1: tough guys, you know, really really smart guys. And I 290 00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:38,040 Speaker 1: can just their chest pieces and I can put them 291 00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:43,520 Speaker 1: everywhere and and uh conklin um us alma um. You 292 00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:45,679 Speaker 1: know all those guys ya Boa comes in and does 293 00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:48,079 Speaker 1: a great job. So those are guys that I can 294 00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:50,680 Speaker 1: move anywhere and and um they do a great job, 295 00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:53,560 Speaker 1: you know. And they they've adjusted well of the scheme, 296 00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:55,560 Speaker 1: and we'll see how it all fits, you know. I 297 00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:57,320 Speaker 1: think that we've got a lot of work to do 298 00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:00,400 Speaker 1: from here to the season, but the offseas and show 299 00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:02,800 Speaker 1: promise on all those guys. I think that that it'll 300 00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:06,600 Speaker 1: be exciting to see how how they progress. But he's 301 00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:10,840 Speaker 1: a cool cat, a tough customer. Yeah, yeah, former college quarterback. 302 00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:14,199 Speaker 1: He's another former college quarterback. But man, he will get 303 00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:16,000 Speaker 1: after you. Yeah, he will get after you. And and 304 00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:17,880 Speaker 1: you know he's a guy I'd loved to play with 305 00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:20,400 Speaker 1: and and uh, you know, we we've got a bunch 306 00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:22,480 Speaker 1: of really really good guys in that room and he's 307 00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:24,840 Speaker 1: one of them. And you know, he stands for everything 308 00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:28,000 Speaker 1: that that that that I like and toughness and and 309 00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:30,680 Speaker 1: you know, study and all the time and and being 310 00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:32,920 Speaker 1: you know, having this this be you know if not 311 00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:35,320 Speaker 1: one you know, other than your family, you know the 312 00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:37,040 Speaker 1: most important thing in your life. And that's what it 313 00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:39,560 Speaker 1: needs to be, uh for for a six month period 314 00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:42,760 Speaker 1: of time during the season, and the focus needs to 315 00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:45,040 Speaker 1: be there and everything. And he's the epitome of of 316 00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:47,800 Speaker 1: that that studies all the time and and prepares and 317 00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:50,600 Speaker 1: works his butt off and lifts weights and watches his 318 00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:52,840 Speaker 1: diet all the time and and and things like that. 319 00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:55,280 Speaker 1: There's a a big group of guys here that we 320 00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:57,480 Speaker 1: have here now that that are that are starting in 321 00:14:57,480 --> 00:14:59,840 Speaker 1: that mold. And I think that you're you're seeing just 322 00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:02,800 Speaker 1: little progressions of how how this is getting better since 323 00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:05,080 Speaker 1: I've been here. Um, and I think it's I think 324 00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:08,400 Speaker 1: it's exciting to see little progressions. What do you see 325 00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:11,480 Speaker 1: from Brandon last year? We talked about him before and 326 00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:13,800 Speaker 1: what's his next step? Is a punner, I think. I 327 00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:17,600 Speaker 1: think you know, obviously that injury setting back a little bit. Um, 328 00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:19,520 Speaker 1: you know, it was very unfortunate. In the first game 329 00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:23,080 Speaker 1: he gets run into and and um, you know, obviously 330 00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:25,720 Speaker 1: we can't have that stuff happen again. But I think 331 00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:29,560 Speaker 1: that you've seen as as the year went on, um, 332 00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:33,080 Speaker 1: you know, when he came back and uh and um, 333 00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:36,560 Speaker 1: I think that by by the game, you could see 334 00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:39,560 Speaker 1: him start to slowly get back into rhythm and slowly 335 00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:42,760 Speaker 1: start making strides and and where I thought he was 336 00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:44,640 Speaker 1: going to be towards the end of the year, I 337 00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:48,360 Speaker 1: thought he kicked really really well. Um and and even 338 00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:50,640 Speaker 1: midway through the year, coming back from an injury like that, 339 00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:52,760 Speaker 1: it's really hard, but but he did a really nice 340 00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:55,480 Speaker 1: job of progressing every week, folks, in every week on 341 00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:57,560 Speaker 1: where he needs to be. I think his hang times 342 00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:00,360 Speaker 1: have gotten better, his directional ability has gotten better. Uh, 343 00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:03,800 Speaker 1: since in this offseason. Um, I think he's you know, 344 00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:06,320 Speaker 1: I think he's got as much talent as anybody in 345 00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:08,520 Speaker 1: this league. I really do that's that's true fact. And 346 00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:11,600 Speaker 1: he can do so many things with on site kicks 347 00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:14,880 Speaker 1: and kickoffs and and you know, I mean, hell, he 348 00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:16,480 Speaker 1: can even long snap, to be honest with you, I 349 00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:20,200 Speaker 1: mean it's crazy, you can tackle, you know. I mean 350 00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:23,840 Speaker 1: he's a really really talented kid. And uh, and I 351 00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:26,080 Speaker 1: think that that he's going to do an outstanding job 352 00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:27,560 Speaker 1: for us this year. I really do. All right, so 353 00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:29,960 Speaker 1: tell us the truth. Well, let's go inside the meeting 354 00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:32,160 Speaker 1: room right now. It's time's time to see you ever 355 00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:36,320 Speaker 1: had a bad snap? According urals, we'll knock on wood. Um, 356 00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:39,320 Speaker 1: you know, not many that I've seen. And he's as consistent, 357 00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:43,280 Speaker 1: um and and as and as professional as you will 358 00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:46,440 Speaker 1: ever find. And guys like that that will play, they'll 359 00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:49,640 Speaker 1: play fifteen years, you know, and if not more. And 360 00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:52,160 Speaker 1: so I think that he's just a pleasure to have 361 00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:54,200 Speaker 1: in the room. He never says boo if unless you 362 00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:56,960 Speaker 1: ask him. And and he's taken off a little more 363 00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:58,800 Speaker 1: of a leadership role, which I've asked him to do 364 00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:01,080 Speaker 1: because he because he never buddy that in their respects 365 00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:03,400 Speaker 1: him and knows how good a player he is. And 366 00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:05,600 Speaker 1: and uh, you know the things that since since we've 367 00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:08,280 Speaker 1: been here together. The things that I've asked him to correct, 368 00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:11,440 Speaker 1: he corrects it right away. There's never any any attitude 369 00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:13,879 Speaker 1: back if you know, he understands that it's a professional 370 00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:16,280 Speaker 1: business and we're trying to get the best out of him, 371 00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:18,960 Speaker 1: and he gets the stuff fixed and and uh, he 372 00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:21,840 Speaker 1: is an absolute pleasure and a good man to to 373 00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:24,480 Speaker 1: to be around. That's for sure. You've got a good group. 374 00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:29,439 Speaker 1: And we're gonna have to see how roster cutdowns all 375 00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:34,280 Speaker 1: turn out, because sometimes you lose a guy, um who 376 00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:38,760 Speaker 1: might be the fifth or sixth guy in his positional group, 377 00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:41,879 Speaker 1: but could have been maybe one of your core guys. 378 00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:44,800 Speaker 1: And that's just the nature of the business. So you're 379 00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:49,240 Speaker 1: one of those guys, quite quick thinker and also a 380 00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:52,280 Speaker 1: guy who gets everybody up to speed. And your units 381 00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:56,679 Speaker 1: last year really excelled. So everybody's looking forward to what 382 00:17:56,760 --> 00:18:03,160 Speaker 1: the next step is from a team perspective. Everybody universally 383 00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:06,600 Speaker 1: across the board throughout the off season, externally not inside 384 00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:10,640 Speaker 1: the building, has lauded the Jets off season uh as 385 00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:14,520 Speaker 1: far as acquisitions and both free agency and the draft, 386 00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:17,840 Speaker 1: and also looked at what kind of the teams set 387 00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:21,200 Speaker 1: up last year. There's some growing pains, but you guys 388 00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:24,280 Speaker 1: put your head down and went right through it. So 389 00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:26,240 Speaker 1: what do you think is happening here? And you're two 390 00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:29,320 Speaker 1: under Robert Sala? Well, I'm really excited. You know. I've 391 00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:32,119 Speaker 1: always said this, Um, you know that if I was 392 00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:33,880 Speaker 1: a player again, I would love to play for Saul. 393 00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:36,560 Speaker 1: And I'm not saying that, um for any other reason 394 00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:39,760 Speaker 1: that I truly mean it. Um. You know, he's a guy, 395 00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:43,240 Speaker 1: that's very sharp guy, he's always positive. Guys want to 396 00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:46,000 Speaker 1: play for him. Um, you know. And then the synergy 397 00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:50,040 Speaker 1: between him and Joe um and and the upstairs and 398 00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:52,320 Speaker 1: the downstairs is better than I've ever seen since I've 399 00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:55,560 Speaker 1: been here. Um, it really is. And I think that 400 00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:58,720 Speaker 1: that we're trending in the right direction. Hopefully that equates 401 00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:02,400 Speaker 1: to wins. Hopefully that equations to you know, future success 402 00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:05,560 Speaker 1: for for this organization. Obviously. Man, I think everybody in 403 00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:08,600 Speaker 1: this room or in this in in our team room, 404 00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:11,119 Speaker 1: is is in everybody upstairs and everybody in the building 405 00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:13,080 Speaker 1: is tired tired of losing, and it's about winning and 406 00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:16,159 Speaker 1: losing games in this league. And and uh, you know, 407 00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:18,280 Speaker 1: with the young guys that we brought in and things 408 00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:20,280 Speaker 1: like that, I'm not gonna put any predictions on it 409 00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:22,640 Speaker 1: or anything like that, but I really think that that 410 00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:25,680 Speaker 1: you'll see an improvement on a week to week basis 411 00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:28,160 Speaker 1: with it. It's a young group, um, and you'll see 412 00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:30,919 Speaker 1: hopefully see improvements as we go, and the team's just 413 00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:34,480 Speaker 1: getting better. And the longer that we can all be 414 00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:37,600 Speaker 1: together and and coaching these guys and everything like that. 415 00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:40,600 Speaker 1: The longer these players are together, the more they're gonna 416 00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:44,120 Speaker 1: learn the system, the more they're gonna they're gonna, um, 417 00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:47,080 Speaker 1: you know, come together as as a unit as a team. 418 00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:49,359 Speaker 1: And uh, I think that that's gonna do nothing. But 419 00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:51,840 Speaker 1: but hey, dividends in the end.

So Philly came in here last year and 449 00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:09,080 Speaker 1: and they got after us on our punt unit, and 450 00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:11,919 Speaker 1: and it was really good to show the speed of 451 00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:14,360 Speaker 1: the game and what they're gonna they're gonna face when 452 00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:17,800 Speaker 1: we get into preseason and especially the regular season. Um, 453 00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:20,199 Speaker 1: you know, the physicality and the speed that it's going 454 00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:23,120 Speaker 1: to take and and uh to succeed in this league, 455 00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:26,680 Speaker 1: and it is so fast for these young players, and 456 00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:29,239 Speaker 1: and they don't understand how physical they have to be 457 00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:31,520 Speaker 1: in their pad level and how they have to strike 458 00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:34,200 Speaker 1: guys and and things like that until you get into 459 00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:37,800 Speaker 1: situations like that to where you know, they came in 460 00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:40,040 Speaker 1: and were really physical with us and and we didn't 461 00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:42,679 Speaker 1: handle it very well and and all of a sudden, 462 00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:44,840 Speaker 1: and maybe it takes you getting punched in the mouth 463 00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:47,919 Speaker 1: a little bit too to uh to understand that you 464 00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:51,160 Speaker 1: gotta get your paths down, gotta get after people, gotta talk, 465 00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:55,120 Speaker 1: gotta communicate, um, everything like that. So I think that absolutely. 466 00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:58,080 Speaker 1: I think the more type of competitive situations that you 467 00:21:58,080 --> 00:21:59,720 Speaker 1: can put them in and you're not going against each 468 00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:02,160 Speaker 1: other all the time, than then, UM, I think I'm 469 00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:04,960 Speaker 1: all for Yeah, last year Philadelphia, Green Bay this year 470 00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:08,119 Speaker 1: in Atlanta and then Acrosstown Giants for a day. So 471 00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:12,600 Speaker 1: you guys are gonna benefit from both of those experience. Lastly, UM, 472 00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:15,040 Speaker 1: you grew up in this league at a different time. 473 00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:21,080 Speaker 1: What's your favorite training camp memory, favorite training camp memory. 474 00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:25,760 Speaker 1: It could be off the field, uh favorite training camp memory. Well, 475 00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:29,399 Speaker 1: how about my least favorite? All right, we were we 476 00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:34,280 Speaker 1: were we were in uh Stevens Point, Wisconsin, and for 477 00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:36,919 Speaker 1: the Jaguars, I think it was ninety let's see, there 478 00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:40,320 Speaker 1: was ninety five, I believe, and we go up there 479 00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:44,160 Speaker 1: and they had heat warnings to keep your pets inside, right, 480 00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:47,720 Speaker 1: and we were in full pads to three hour practices 481 00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:50,760 Speaker 1: of the day, six days a week, two days. So 482 00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:53,280 Speaker 1: it was full pads, full pads, full pads, full pads 483 00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:55,560 Speaker 1: for six six days in a row. And then you 484 00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:58,760 Speaker 1: had like a um, you know, an off day, which 485 00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:02,360 Speaker 1: was meetings and treatment all day and then with pet 486 00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:06,119 Speaker 1: warnings and heat warnings to be inside, and we worked 487 00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:07,800 Speaker 1: our tails off, I'll tell you that. So that was 488 00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:12,840 Speaker 1: probably my I mean, you've got to be slugging down 489 00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:15,560 Speaker 1: water and gatorade the entire time. I mean, it is, 490 00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:18,480 Speaker 1: you know, because because during the practices you're you have 491 00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:20,879 Speaker 1: to lift and grab lunch and in that tour and 492 00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:23,680 Speaker 1: a half hour window or whatever, you gotta lift, grab lunch, 493 00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:25,720 Speaker 1: and then you know, try to get back to the 494 00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:28,800 Speaker 1: to the dorm room and try to get a little sleep, 495 00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:30,800 Speaker 1: you know, to try to rest before the next practice. 496 00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:33,080 Speaker 1: And half the time you'd be laying there and cramping 497 00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:35,399 Speaker 1: up all over the place and everything. I gotta get 498 00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:40,119 Speaker 1: ready for the next practice. So absolutely the worst. That's wild. 499 00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:43,639 Speaker 1: You ever tell these dudes, not like, hey, when I 500 00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:48,280 Speaker 1: was player, but do you ever remind them that we've 501 00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:51,720 Speaker 1: come a long way as far as taking care of 502 00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:55,040 Speaker 1: people's bodies with the nutrition, the rest, the health and 503 00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:57,840 Speaker 1: other stuff. Where you guys are so productive of walked 504 00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:00,520 Speaker 1: through walk throughs now and you're on the field maybe 505 00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:03,040 Speaker 1: ninety minutes into contact is a lot less, right, I 506 00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:06,080 Speaker 1: tell them all the time. So they absolutely, you know, 507 00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:08,040 Speaker 1: like I don't want to hear that you're tired, you know. 508 00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:11,760 Speaker 1: And it's it's kind of funny because everybody, you know, 509 00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:14,680 Speaker 1: I think all the older players, it's a whole different generation. 510 00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:16,760 Speaker 1: And you probably couldn't do that anymore, you know, as 511 00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:19,359 Speaker 1: good as these guys are now and as fast twist 512 00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:22,040 Speaker 1: as they are and things like that, but the stuff 513 00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:24,160 Speaker 1: that we were asked to do, these guys aren't being 514 00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:26,040 Speaker 1: asked to do. And and it's and it's really good 515 00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:28,719 Speaker 1: for their health. And you know, it's all science now, 516 00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:31,080 Speaker 1: based on science and how many yards they're running and 517 00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:33,880 Speaker 1: everything like that, and it's fantastic what we've done here, 518 00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:36,359 Speaker 1: I think. And and uh, you know they Ord and 519 00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:39,520 Speaker 1: the what Braden and those guys Nicoliney and everybody in 520 00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:41,600 Speaker 1: the String staff. They they go through that stuff and 521 00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:44,320 Speaker 1: and how you have to you go high high and 522 00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:47,120 Speaker 1: low days and things, and it's all based on science 523 00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:51,119 Speaker 1: and and everything. So so I totally understand it, you know, um, 524 00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:53,800 Speaker 1: but it's not as physical as it used to be. 525 00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:56,879 Speaker 1: And and it takes and that goes back to my 526 00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:59,840 Speaker 1: point there. You gotta get calloused a little bit, I 527 00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:01,879 Speaker 1: in my in my opinion, and you've got to be 528 00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:04,200 Speaker 1: able to put on those pads and be able to 529 00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:07,320 Speaker 1: go through those practices and those hard days that that 530 00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:09,399 Speaker 1: you know, you're smacking each other every day and your 531 00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:11,239 Speaker 1: sore and you gotta you gotta get cows and get 532 00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:13,520 Speaker 1: used to that stuff. And and there's a fine line 533 00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:17,440 Speaker 1: between that and staying healthy. And and I think that 534 00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:20,040 Speaker 1: the more we can keep these guys healthy, obviously it 535 00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:21,879 Speaker 1: goes back to that thing when I said earlier that 536 00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:24,480 Speaker 1: if you don't have any bullets for your gun. You 537 00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:26,639 Speaker 1: you have no chance to win in this league, and 538 00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:29,080 Speaker 1: you gotta stay healthy. And I think that the players 539 00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:32,280 Speaker 1: have really adjusted well to the what they're doing here, 540 00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:35,919 Speaker 1: and so I think that, you know, I think it's 541 00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:38,639 Speaker 1: gonna be really good. It's a good blend of old school. 542 00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:41,879 Speaker 1: You've got to have that mentality and new school. Uh, 543 00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:44,760 Speaker 1: as far as these advances are concerned. Um, do you 544 00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:48,480 Speaker 1: ever look back at those videos the game tape and say, Wow, 545 00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:52,199 Speaker 1: we played at a different speedback then you just mentioned 546 00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:56,640 Speaker 1: Absolutely absolutely. I think you know, Obrick and I say 547 00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:58,399 Speaker 1: it in here all the time, like we we probably 548 00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:02,600 Speaker 1: couldn't have played in this era, know, to two linebackers 549 00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:04,600 Speaker 1: that didn't run very well or whatever, you know, and 550 00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:08,560 Speaker 1: and uh, you know, but I mean, it's all they 551 00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:11,280 Speaker 1: these guys are so fast, and they're and they're getting longer, 552 00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:13,840 Speaker 1: and they're getting bigger, and and everything in the safety 553 00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:16,520 Speaker 1: name Mazers that that you know, all this science and 554 00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:19,960 Speaker 1: and all the things that the NFL's trying to do, um, 555 00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:22,960 Speaker 1: you know, keeping these guys safe as awesome. I really 556 00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:25,560 Speaker 1: think so, because like I said, it's the long chevity 557 00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:28,520 Speaker 1: of the product and and uh, and the product or 558 00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:31,320 Speaker 1: the players and and um, you know, it is awesome 559 00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:33,080 Speaker 1: to see these guys and it and it takes care 560 00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:36,120 Speaker 1: of all these guys and and uh and that's that's 561 00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:38,920 Speaker 1: you know, so you get your your premium you know, 562 00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:41,159 Speaker 1: athlete on game day, and that's what you need. You know, 563 00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:43,000 Speaker 1: if you're gonna win and lose games in this league, 564 00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:45,240 Speaker 1: you've got to have the best that they are. You know. 565 00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:48,160 Speaker 1: Do you find a lot of parallels similarities with Brick, 566 00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:53,320 Speaker 1: you guys said career your approaches. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Brick 567 00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:55,920 Speaker 1: and I get along really well and and both were 568 00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:58,200 Speaker 1: similar players and I think he started I held a 569 00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:01,880 Speaker 1: lot more games than I did. But um, you know, yeah, great, 570 00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:05,040 Speaker 1: great dude, great staff. Um, you know, all the all 571 00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:07,919 Speaker 1: the all the the players are awesome here and now 572 00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:10,680 Speaker 1: and they've they've they've really done a great job of 573 00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:13,600 Speaker 1: bringing in the right kind of players and workers and 574 00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:16,719 Speaker 1: and um, like I think, you know, I'm really excited 575 00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:20,200 Speaker 1: about where this is. This is transitioning seeing we'll see 576 00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:22,760 Speaker 1: where it goes and hopefully that trans translates to wins. 577 00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:27,200 Speaker 1: Enjoyed it. You've worked for three different high coaches here 578 00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:30,880 Speaker 1: at the New York Jets. That speaks to your achievements 579 00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:34,639 Speaker 1: and also what you bring to the table each and 580 00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:38,600 Speaker 1: every year. Last year, you guys add a very good year. 581 00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:41,240 Speaker 1: But by your standards, you'll be reaching for something else. 582 00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:43,840 Speaker 1: I know that, absolutely absolutely. If you're not, if you're 583 00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:46,280 Speaker 1: not the best in the league, then it wasn't good enough. 584 00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:49,760 Speaker 1: That's how that's how I think about it, all right, man,
