1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:07,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, Browns fans, Welcome back to the Browns from the

2
00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:10,399
Speaker 1: Podium podcast, the show where we feature all of the

3
00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:13,840
Speaker 1: daily press conferences from before and after practice all rolled

4
00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:17,239
Speaker 1: into one podcast. I'm Jason Gibbs. On today's show, you'll

5
00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:21,440
Speaker 1: hear from head coach Kevin Stefanski, tight ends coach TC McCartney,

6
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:26,239
Speaker 1: safety coach Ephraim Banda, cornerback Greg Newsom, and wide receiver

7
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 1: Elijah Moore. First up, it's head coach Kevin Stefanski addressing

8
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:33,040
Speaker 1: the media in Borea at the Cross Country Mortgage Campus

9
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 1: before day twelve of training camp.

10
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:37,680
Speaker 2: Okay, good to see everybody you know. Give me a

11
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:40,320
Speaker 2: good day out here today. Happy to be back in

12
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:43,160
Speaker 2: front of our fans. Move practice up into this morning,

13
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:45,480
Speaker 2: get some good work done today. It'll be a little

14
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:49,520
Speaker 2: bit different practice structure, short on the individual.

15
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 3: And then heavy on the team periods.

16
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 2: We're going to extend the amount of plays in these

17
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 2: periods so that guys get used to long drives offensively

18
00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:00,320
Speaker 2: and defensively, will hit some really good situations. Take a

19
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:04,039
Speaker 2: bunch of breaks to kind of simulate those in between

20
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:06,679
Speaker 2: drives or TV timeout and those type of things, so

21
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:08,319
Speaker 2: we'll get some good work in a move.

22
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:10,840
Speaker 3: The ball period and a down in the red zone

23
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 3: as well.

24
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:12,840
Speaker 2: We'll get some no huddle, we'll get some two minutes,

25
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 2: So a lot of situational work today which I think

26
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:17,960
Speaker 2: will be really good for our guys. With that, I'll

27
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 2: take any.

28
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 3: Questions you expect Jack to back from the field to day.

29
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:23,840
Speaker 3: I do, I do.

30
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 4: Yes.

31
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 5: How have you felt about the situational performance that you've

32
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:32,399
Speaker 5: gotten through camp and in the preseason. What do you like?

33
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 6: Maybe what do you not like?

34
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 3: Yeah?

35
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:36,119
Speaker 7: Well, I think all of it is a learning experience.

36
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:39,119
Speaker 2: In those games, there's certain things that come up that

37
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 2: maybe you've covered just once. You know, I think about

38
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 2: the end of the game in Philly where we need

39
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 2: to get out of bounds and you know something we

40
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 2: talk about a lot shared situational awareness. It's all things

41
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 2: that we we cover and you meet on and then

42
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 2: you have an example of it in game. Luckily it's

43
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 2: in a preseason game where we can teach off of

44
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 2: those moments.

45
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 3: But I think all of camp, really going all the.

46
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 2: Way back to the spring, you're constantly trying to hit

47
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 2: the different situations that come up, and you're spending time

48
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:08,360
Speaker 2: on him, and then during the regular season, you hit

49
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:11,920
Speaker 2: them every single week, you hit all those situations. So

50
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:15,519
Speaker 2: for today, again heavy on the situations, and it's really

51
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 2: heavy on the guy's understanding what we're trying to accomplish

52
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:18,919
Speaker 2: in each one of these periods.

53
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:21,119
Speaker 5: Kevin, I think when we talked to Elijah, he said

54
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:24,080
Speaker 5: he hadn't lined up for running back much with the Jets.

55
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:25,799
Speaker 5: So what did you guys see that made you think

56
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:27,520
Speaker 5: that he could be really useful to get that role?

57
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I just think there's not really a

58
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:33,800
Speaker 2: limit to what he can do. I think he's a

59
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 2: very good outside receiver or a very good inside receiver.

60
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 3: He can put him in the backfield, put him in

61
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 3: the wildcat.

62
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:40,520
Speaker 2: I think there's really just no shortage what you can do.

63
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:42,519
Speaker 2: And I say that just because of the skill set

64
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,800
Speaker 2: and because of the intelligence. So, like you mentioned with

65
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 2: the lining him up in the backfield, hadn't done a

66
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 2: ton of that, But just if you think about the

67
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 2: person and think about the player and what he's able

68
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:54,920
Speaker 2: to handle, we just felt like it'd be something that

69
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:56,640
Speaker 2: he can do. Not to say that we will do

70
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 2: it every game or maybe he'll be there all fifty

71
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:01,639
Speaker 2: plays one game. You know, it's really by game play.

72
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:03,959
Speaker 5: It was how open to the idea, wasn't schooling?

73
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 3: Yeah?

74
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 2: Very I mean any player when you're talking about moving

75
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:08,239
Speaker 2: them around the formation, Hey, we can give you the

76
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 2: ball this way, we can get you the ball this way,

77
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 2: they're always open to that.

78
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 6: Nice I I.

79
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 8: Saw that debo at one point, you know, had some

80
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:20,240
Speaker 8: consternation about playing uh, you know, or being considered a

81
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 8: dual bread receiver running back.

82
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 9: But you have him find anything like that?

83
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 2: I have I have not, Yeah, I have not with

84
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:29,359
Speaker 2: with a guy like that.

85
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:32,399
Speaker 10: This is there almost some times in the basketball mentality

86
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 10: of play, probably like just just get him the ball early,

87
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 10: like to get him some touches and in different ways.

88
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 3: To kind of get him engaged in the ball. Uh, yeah,

89
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 3: I don't.

90
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 4: You know.

91
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 2: In basketball s we we talk about that a lot

92
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 2: because in basketball you can have somebody bring.

93
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 7: The ball up and then the ball's automatically in their hand.

94
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 2: It's harder to do uh with skill position players. You know,

95
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 2: you're you're dependent on the quarterback oftentimes it gets you

96
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 2: the ball. So there's different ways to do it.

97
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 3: Uh.

98
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 2: Elijah, as everyone knows, there's no secret. Elijah's a big

99
00:03:57,680 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 2: part of what we wanna do and and he's a

100
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 2: big part of who we are. So it's it's our

101
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:03,839
Speaker 2: job as coaches to find ways to get in the ball.

102
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 9: Kevin Luke's played guard lets a couple of judents. I

103
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 9: know that was something he hadn't really done at all.

104
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 4: Coming into the pros. How have you seen him kind

105
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 4: of the spot up.

106
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:17,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's been very open to it. Uh, like you mentioned, Chris,

107
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 2: not something he's done before. So all of it's a

108
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:23,480
Speaker 2: learning experience. There's a learning curve to all of that. Obviously,

109
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:25,920
Speaker 2: when you're moving a guy to a position that's that's

110
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 2: new to what he's done. And I know it sounds

111
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 2: easy to slide over eighteen inches, but it's not simple.

112
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 2: And I think he's done a nice job with it

113
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:33,479
Speaker 2: and we'll continue to grow there.

114
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 11: When the USFL season was going on, did the Browns

115
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,159
Speaker 11: have people there or do you watch just watch the

116
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 11: game film?

117
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:40,720
Speaker 3: That's a good question.

118
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:42,799
Speaker 2: I mean, I know we have access to all the tape.

119
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 2: I don't know that we necessarily have a scout there

120
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 2: in every game.

121
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:45,920
Speaker 4: I'm not sure.

122
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 3: You know, does.

123
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 12: Anyone talk to Watkins coaches may credits them for a lot.

124
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:54,720
Speaker 2: I haven't Tony, but that somebody may have I'm I'm

125
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 2: not sure here the.

126
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:00,719
Speaker 11: Learned who have had really strong trading dances and games

127
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 11: with roster cut's coming up the class places.

128
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 6: I mean, what do you look then, what do you

129
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:06,479
Speaker 6: want to see?

130
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 3: What?

131
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:11,599
Speaker 2: Yeah, Cam, I think it's just it's a global evaluation.

132
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:15,480
Speaker 2: We look at everything when making those type of decisions. Obviously,

133
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 2: game tape is important, and game performance is important. So

134
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:21,279
Speaker 2: is this practice so or how they perform in the

135
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 2: meeting room. So we look at it all. Obviously, our

136
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 2: fans and everybody gets a glimpse into those games and

137
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:27,480
Speaker 2: they're important.

138
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 7: They're under the lights and they're keeping score.

139
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 4: But really it's a global evaluation.

140
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 7: Kevin, you you've.

141
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:36,159
Speaker 13: Mentioned a lot about the meeting room, So without giving

142
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 13: it anyway, what makes a player, especially a young player, good.

143
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:41,680
Speaker 3: In a meeting room?

144
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 2: Well, I think we just spend so much time in there,

145
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,240
Speaker 2: just by the nature of our schedule and the nature

146
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 2: of how you get players ready to play, for practice

147
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 2: and ready for the game. You spend a lot of

148
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 2: time in the classroom. We try to do as many

149
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:55,920
Speaker 2: get up and walk around meetings and the indoor as

150
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:58,680
Speaker 2: you can as well. But in that meeting room, you're

151
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 2: covering a lot of ground. You're watching, you're looking at

152
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 2: played diagrams, you're you're quizzing the players. So the more

153
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:06,680
Speaker 2: attent of you are, the more ground that you can

154
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 2: cover in those meeting room settings. I think it prepares

155
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 2: you both to play on the grass out here and

156
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 2: to play in the game.

157
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 8: I did Martin Emerson and some of your other quartervcs

158
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:19,479
Speaker 8: fare in those joint practices against the.

159
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean obviously they got tested as you can,

160
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 2: as you know, Mary Kay just going up against that

161
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 2: wide receiver course, so they got some really really good

162
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 2: work versus those guys. I think MJ continues to progress.

163
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:33,120
Speaker 2: He's had a good camp to date, and I think

164
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 2: he's a young man that I think will just continue

165
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 2: to get better.

166
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 14: Kevin, there's heat warnings throughout the Midwest coming for this week.

167
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:42,480
Speaker 14: Do you see that as a good prep for Saturday's

168
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:44,839
Speaker 14: game at one o'clock or will that change kind of

169
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:47,479
Speaker 14: neat plays because we're looking at nineties.

170
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 4: At one hundred degrees.

171
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:50,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was just actually checking that just ten minutes ago.

172
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 2: So it's I think it's ninety one on Saturday in

173
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:55,360
Speaker 2: Kansas City. It's one hundred and three the day before,

174
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 2: so it's gonna be hot. It'll be warm here later

175
00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:00,160
Speaker 2: in the week. It could be warm September tenth at

176
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:04,719
Speaker 2: our place. So you have to acclimate to the heat safely, obviously.

177
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 2: But that's something that we've really had our eye on

178
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 2: and things that we've been working through all the way

179
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:11,680
Speaker 2: back to Greenbrier.

180
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 4: Is it too early to reveal any play time now?

181
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 2: The starters will play, you know, similar to that Washington game.

182
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 2: We'll play the starters probably twenty to twenty five plays.

183
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 2: There are some guys that I'll hold out from the

184
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 2: game as well, but we'll talk about that maybe.

185
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 4: Later in the week.

186
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 3: Did Andy Reid about that at all? Communicate?

187
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 7: Hey, this is how we just so, Yeah, we will

188
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 7: have that conversation.

189
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 2: They just played yesterday. They also play they're the early game,

190
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 2: they're the Thursday night game. So I don't know how

191
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 2: that affects their decision making.

192
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 5: With guys like Siony Anthony and jakeem do you feel

193
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 5: like you need to see them into preseason.

194
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 4: Action because they're coming up with in movies.

195
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 5: Or maybe reluctant to play.

196
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 2: Them until we work It's so dependent on the player

197
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 2: and where they are in the rehab and what they

198
00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 2: can do and what medical suggest they should do. So

199
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 2: that's all case by case basis. I think if the

200
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 2: guys can play in those situations, they will, If it's

201
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 2: better off that they don't play, they won't.

202
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 10: Kevin in the second practice, I think it wasn't.

203
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 3: Philly, and I know Jackson was probably part of it.

204
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 3: But we saw.

205
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:18,720
Speaker 5: You play, Dewand and Michael.

206
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 10: Have done with the first team.

207
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 2: What was the thinking that was in some of those Yeah, rotation,

208
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 2: keeping guys fresh. You know, even today, we're gonna have

209
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 2: to move guys around. I think now's the time where

210
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 2: you try some tackles at guards, you try some you

211
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:34,960
Speaker 2: flip guys over to different sides, and maybe some drills.

212
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 2: So it's just the natural progression of training camp where

213
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 2: you have to find guys. You have to find some

214
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 2: other jobs to do because, as you know, once you

215
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 2: hit the active roster and hit the fifty three, you're

216
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 2: gonna have to do some other jobs to make yourself.

217
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:49,960
Speaker 13: First of all, on the wand you know when you

218
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 13: guys drafted him, the uh, the perception was a kind

219
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:56,320
Speaker 13: of a developmental kid that you're bringing in here.

220
00:08:57,400 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 7: Are you. Is he like a head of schedule?

221
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 5: Is he rested maybe a little quicker.

222
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 13: On the timeline than maybe you would have even thought,

223
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:08,040
Speaker 13: just based on the way he's played in the previs.

224
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not gonna comment to necessary where he is, Darryl,

225
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:13,720
Speaker 2: he's progressed. I mean, obviously, he's like a lot of

226
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:16,240
Speaker 2: our players. He's making mistakes. He's also doing a nice job.

227
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 2: So he's just got to continue on an upward trajectory,

228
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:22,600
Speaker 2: knowing that all of our rookies are works in progress,

229
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:25,600
Speaker 2: and and and this is a This rookie year is

230
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:29,080
Speaker 2: a big year for these guys. Have change of new surroundings,

231
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 2: new settings, new everything. Uh So he's a guy that

232
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:32,959
Speaker 2: just needs to continue to work.

233
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 11: It seems it seems like in the games Kids Kid

234
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:41,880
Speaker 11: York's move it's a usual movement where it's not happening here.

235
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 3: He isn't.

236
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 7: He's about trying to find the source of that.

237
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 2: Those are all things we're working through, uh Tony.

238
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 15: Uh.

239
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:53,080
Speaker 2: I think that's what practice is for, and I think

240
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 2: that's what those games are for right now, to continue

241
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:55,560
Speaker 2: to work through it.

242
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 7: The tract practices can nearly perfect.

243
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's you know, we talking about taking the

244
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 2: practice field to the game field. So it's like all

245
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:05,319
Speaker 2: of our guys we just talked about it's just continue

246
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:05,600
Speaker 2: to work.

247
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 9: Kevin aj Green, he expected him.

248
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:10,079
Speaker 4: Where's he kind of that movie?

249
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:11,440
Speaker 7: He's coming along.

250
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:12,960
Speaker 2: I don't know that he'll be able to practice today,

251
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 2: but he's coming along.

252
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 4: I did Greg come through the body track?

253
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's doing well.

254
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:19,719
Speaker 5: And you know we've seen Denzel in the slot something too.

255
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 5: How valuable is did they have multiple guys you can

256
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 5: do that with what Jim wants.

257
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:25,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's I know it's beating a dead horse, but

258
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 2: its versatility. It's the more you can do really freeze

259
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 2: up your coaches to move you around the formation. I know,

260
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:35,959
Speaker 2: as an offense, if one player is always in one spot,

261
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 2: you can start to look at tells from a defense

262
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 2: and vice versa. So it's really just trying to get

263
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:41,720
Speaker 2: the more you can do.

264
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:44,960
Speaker 1: Next up. Tight end coach TC McCartney talked to chemistry

265
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,640
Speaker 1: the tight ends have with Deshaun Watson and how much

266
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:50,720
Speaker 1: he expects David Njoku to improve this season.

267
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:52,760
Speaker 5: About maybe being able to go downfield more than he

268
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 5: has in the past. You just think he's got the

269
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 5: skill set.

270
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 3: To do that. Oh.

271
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:58,960
Speaker 16: Absolutely, There isn't anything in the receiving world that he

272
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 16: can't do. As far as from the time and position goes.

273
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:02,679
Speaker 16: He's a super dynamic player.

274
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:04,079
Speaker 6: They've talked about.

275
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 11: How he's trying to work out a little bit of

276
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 11: everything this year because he's been in here for so long.

277
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:10,000
Speaker 6: For you, what are you looking for?

278
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:10,600
Speaker 1: Uh?

279
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:13,160
Speaker 6: What do you think he's been focusing on as to

280
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:13,960
Speaker 6: take that next week?

281
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:14,319
Speaker 3: This year?

282
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:19,079
Speaker 16: Again with the I've said up before here, but like

283
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 16: the tight end position, you have to focus on everything

284
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:24,880
Speaker 16: from route running to pass blocking, to run blocking.

285
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:27,560
Speaker 7: So he's got to be do it all. So we

286
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 7: can't really focus.

287
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:29,080
Speaker 4: In on one thing.

288
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:32,200
Speaker 16: But uh, if I already to give you one thing,

289
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 16: I would say he really worked really hard on this

290
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 16: route running kind of referenced earlier all summer. So he's

291
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 16: excited to catch some passes and succore some touchdowns.

292
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:44,319
Speaker 9: He seems to really last year be one of the

293
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 9: guys to Shawn really connected with those those.

294
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:49,720
Speaker 4: Last five or six games.

295
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:52,400
Speaker 9: How much have you seen just a growth from that

296
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 9: to now terms of you know, the kind of the connection,

297
00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 9: that kind of the natural connection.

298
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 16: Yeah, they they built that at the beginning of or

299
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 16: the end of last year and then moving into this offseason.

300
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 16: I know they worked out together, and anytime you have

301
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 16: a relationship with the guys on your team, it's important,

302
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:11,920
Speaker 16: especially the quarterback. So we've seen it. I hope to

303
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:13,280
Speaker 16: continue to see it as though we move into the

304
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 16: regular season.

305
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 3: Did they come back.

306
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 8: Some ex still resolves or tell you after you know,

307
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:21,400
Speaker 8: maybe not having that pra couple.

308
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:22,480
Speaker 3: Of practices that they hope to have.

309
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:27,960
Speaker 16: I think anytime you don't do exactly what you want

310
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 16: to happen, there's a little extra resolve there. But you know,

311
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 16: day to day training camp, there's ups and downs, and

312
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 16: so we just try and come and be the same

313
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:36,440
Speaker 16: person every day and work as hard as we can

314
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:36,960
Speaker 16: every day.

315
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:40,200
Speaker 3: To be honest, David is bigger.

316
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:42,719
Speaker 7: It looks like was that like something you guys talked

317
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:43,840
Speaker 7: about or did you just do that?

318
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:44,840
Speaker 13: Uh?

319
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:47,280
Speaker 16: I think that just she just works out really hard.

320
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:49,560
Speaker 16: We didn't talk about him getting bigger at all. But

321
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 16: his way's right where it needed to be and he's

322
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 16: still fast. So as big as you can be and

323
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:55,079
Speaker 16: as fast as you can be, that's what I like

324
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 16: to see.

325
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 6: Talk about the versatility in all these rooms. For tight ends.

326
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 6: What's us versatility in his offense? You, guys, I.

327
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:05,160
Speaker 16: Think it allows you to do a ton of different

328
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 16: things just overall. Scheme wise, you can present a bunch

329
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 16: of different looks to the defense, whether it looks like

330
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 16: there's three receivers in or it looks like there's two

331
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:15,320
Speaker 16: backs in. We can be the ones to control that

332
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 16: when we're just in the game by ourselves.

333
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:19,720
Speaker 5: So you gotimistic that Harrison's gonna be able to be

334
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 5: back and is this misstime gonna hurt him?

335
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:24,960
Speaker 16: I guess Harrison's one of the smartest players we have

336
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 16: and he's also puts in the work whatever he can do,

337
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:31,839
Speaker 16: So of course he'll be an adjustment. But when he's back,

338
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:33,960
Speaker 16: he'll be ready to go. I'll be confident he's ready

339
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 16: to go.

340
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:38,000
Speaker 1: New safety coach Ephraim Banda talked about what he's seen

341
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:40,960
Speaker 1: from the young safeties in his room and the leadership

342
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:45,360
Speaker 1: that won Thornhill brings.

343
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:45,640
Speaker 4: The ball has kind of found Hickman.

344
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:46,160
Speaker 3: In the games.

345
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 7: Yeah, he is a strong safety, So how is he

346
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:50,319
Speaker 7: close to the backs?

347
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 15: You know what, I'll be honest with you right now,

348
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:55,200
Speaker 15: as you guys have seen we're playing them everywhere strong

349
00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:57,520
Speaker 15: and free, there is not really a strong and free

350
00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:01,480
Speaker 15: we're still staying with that model. And what we've what's

351
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 15: come of that is as a young man who actually

352
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:05,440
Speaker 15: finds the ball at the third level really well, you know.

353
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:06,839
Speaker 15: And yeah, he has played a lot of that in

354
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:10,400
Speaker 15: his time and he has a knack for it. So

355
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 15: that was the benefit of that of playing them everywhere,

356
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:15,440
Speaker 15: just seeing what they can do in Coach Schwartz system,

357
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:18,560
Speaker 15: which is a very visual system at the safety position, and.

358
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 7: That's been a positive. So biggest thing he's done is done.

359
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:24,480
Speaker 15: Exactly what's asked, you know, from from me and Coach

360
00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:26,960
Speaker 15: Schwartz in terms of the technique, and he's come away

361
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:29,080
Speaker 15: with the ball, which is nice.

362
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:33,800
Speaker 7: What have you seen one head this room energy?

363
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 15: You know right away, But it's funny. The one that

364
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:37,480
Speaker 15: you guys see is not the.

365
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:38,840
Speaker 7: One that I have in the meeting room.

366
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:41,600
Speaker 15: One is like, you know, he comes, he's got such

367
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:44,800
Speaker 15: great attitude and he's so energetic and you feel it

368
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 15: and sense it.

369
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:46,880
Speaker 7: But when he's in the when he's in the meeting room,

370
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 7: he's a whole different guy.

371
00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:50,280
Speaker 15: He is, and he's you know, he is in the

372
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 15: front row, first seat, locked in asking questions writing notes.

373
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:58,560
Speaker 15: I mean, he is awesome to work with. So he's

374
00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:00,840
Speaker 15: brought the energy on the field, you guys see, and

375
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:04,160
Speaker 15: obviously the leadership he's been to you know, places in

376
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:05,480
Speaker 15: one nice shiny things.

377
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:06,080
Speaker 17: Uh.

378
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 7: So he knows what it takes and knows what it

379
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 7: looks like.

380
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 3: Uh.

381
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 15: But more importantly, the part that you guys don't see

382
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 15: is is really the effort that he puts in in

383
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:15,200
Speaker 15: the in the in the meeting room and in him

384
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 15: just helping those young guys.

385
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 5: How does he kind of try to translate the Super

386
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:22,080
Speaker 5: Bowls he was with his Kansa city to the guys here,

387
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:24,440
Speaker 5: you know what I mean, the experience of getting there.

388
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:26,360
Speaker 5: How does he translate to the guys here?

389
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 7: I think again, he knows what it looks like. It's

390
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:30,360
Speaker 7: like anything if you've.

391
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:33,840
Speaker 15: Already walked the trail that you know, you know, and

392
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:36,280
Speaker 15: that you just kind of know when to take a

393
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:38,040
Speaker 15: right or a left and don't go down that way

394
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 15: or you're gonna fall down this way.

395
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 7: He just knows what those pitfalls are.

396
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:45,000
Speaker 15: He knows, you know, also how to take advantage, you know,

397
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:47,280
Speaker 15: of what's coming towards him, uh, and.

398
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:48,000
Speaker 7: What's ahead of him.

399
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:50,000
Speaker 15: So he just has a he's a great Uh, he's

400
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:53,000
Speaker 15: a great barometer, if you will, of where we need

401
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:53,840
Speaker 15: to be and where.

402
00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:54,320
Speaker 3: We need to head.

403
00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:56,840
Speaker 7: And he has a good he's very aware, you know.

404
00:15:56,880 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 15: Even dating back to when I unfortunately had to coach

405
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 15: against him at at Miami, you know, he just was

406
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:04,840
Speaker 15: he just was that guy.

407
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 7: He had great awareness, he found the ball.

408
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 15: Uh and and just played with great spirits. So I

409
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 15: hated unfortunately. I'm glad he's on our team now.

410
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:16,000
Speaker 7: So safetys is one of the issues to be decided.

411
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 6: Then it's final where.

412
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:19,240
Speaker 7: You're keeping you know.

413
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:22,440
Speaker 15: Again, that's that's out of my out of my ballpark.

414
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:24,920
Speaker 15: My job is to just get them to play as

415
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:29,240
Speaker 15: as as good as possible, to compete, you know, and

416
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 15: and at the end of the day, make it hard.

417
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:33,280
Speaker 7: On on you know, on personnel.

418
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 15: That's that's really what you want to do. Personnel has

419
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:37,640
Speaker 15: done a great job. A B you know and his

420
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:40,360
Speaker 15: staff just an a phenomenal job of bringing in talent

421
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:42,520
Speaker 15: across the board.

422
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 7: Especially at those positions. So it's a good problem to have, uh.

423
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:48,920
Speaker 15: And uh, we're looking forward, you know, to see what

424
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:51,040
Speaker 15: this week brings and and to help A B.

425
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,840
Speaker 7: And his staff, you know, make the best decision possible.

426
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:55,240
Speaker 6: Talked at the.

427
00:16:55,680 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 8: At the Greens require about watching preaches potential being great. Yeah,

428
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 8: like he doesn't feel like he's accomplished when he's wanting

429
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:04,200
Speaker 8: to get supporting the senior.

430
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:07,640
Speaker 15: You know, what I see in Grant is an extremely

431
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:13,040
Speaker 15: hungry young man, a man that is very locked into

432
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:15,119
Speaker 15: where he is currently, very aware.

433
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 7: I think that's sometimes an issue with a young man is.

434
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:20,159
Speaker 15: Just not aware of where he really is. He is aware,

435
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:24,160
Speaker 15: and to your point, he is wanting to be great.

436
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:25,960
Speaker 15: He wants to take the next step like he did

437
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:28,520
Speaker 15: at LSU, you know, and wants to win you know,

438
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:29,560
Speaker 15: big shiny things too.

439
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:31,359
Speaker 7: Like he's done there, and I think.

440
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:33,439
Speaker 15: What he's realized is is that I need to be

441
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:37,359
Speaker 15: that person and have that mentality that I did there

442
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 15: here and he's.

443
00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:41,200
Speaker 7: Doing that right now at a high level. I'm extremely

444
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:42,720
Speaker 7: extremely proud of Grant.

445
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:45,680
Speaker 15: I mean, like Jan has just came into every single

446
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:49,800
Speaker 15: meeting locked in, focused, attentive, you know, coming out here

447
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:53,360
Speaker 15: and practicing extremely hard. The young man does not missed anything.

448
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:56,480
Speaker 15: I'm telling you. He went and graduated and still flew

449
00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:59,240
Speaker 15: back to be on the sideline with his teammates. I mean,

450
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:01,520
Speaker 15: if that doesn't scream, I'm all in. I don't know

451
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:01,960
Speaker 15: what does.

452
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:05,720
Speaker 14: So I one in a little bump man today and

453
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:08,040
Speaker 14: those kind of things. Are you comfortable with a safety

454
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:11,119
Speaker 14: group playing man bump coverage and what kind of concerns

455
00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:12,719
Speaker 14: do you have if you got your safeties up at

456
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:13,480
Speaker 14: the line of scrimmers?

457
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 7: No concerns, I don't. I believe in what we do.

458
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:18,760
Speaker 4: See.

459
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:22,680
Speaker 15: The biggest thing that benefits safeties in bump and run

460
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:24,159
Speaker 15: man in this system.

461
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:25,840
Speaker 7: Is how hard Coach.

462
00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:30,640
Speaker 15: Schwartz pushes dominating leverage and when he is when he

463
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:34,199
Speaker 15: builds the defense around that, then you can say, I

464
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 15: have no concerns because so long as we understand where

465
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:41,040
Speaker 15: to push our you know, our man into where our

466
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:44,119
Speaker 15: help is, you can really dominate leverage and play that

467
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:46,120
Speaker 15: type of man coverage like you saw, you.

468
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:47,240
Speaker 7: Know at other stops he's had.

469
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:51,400
Speaker 15: But all it centers around Coach Schwartz's design of what

470
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:52,800
Speaker 15: we do now and.

471
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:54,080
Speaker 7: Other things and other places I've been.

472
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:56,440
Speaker 15: Yeah, it's a little different, and you gotta you gotta

473
00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:58,000
Speaker 15: have the right type of human and we do have

474
00:18:58,040 --> 00:18:59,639
Speaker 15: the right type of human. Again, Personnel has done a

475
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:03,399
Speaker 15: phenomenal job. This room's loaded, it's talented. So again, but

476
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:05,520
Speaker 15: it goes back to coach Schwartz.

477
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:06,720
Speaker 7: And how he designs the whole thing and.

478
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:08,639
Speaker 18: Bring to go back to Nickman, though, when you have

479
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:11,399
Speaker 18: a guy who's like undrafted and yeah, it seems like

480
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:13,199
Speaker 18: he's always around the ball, he's always making plays, what

481
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 18: can that do? Like what kind of energy does that

482
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:17,640
Speaker 18: bring to the room. When you have an undrafted.

483
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:20,280
Speaker 15: Guy like that, you know, just think about what Rod's

484
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:23,160
Speaker 15: done in his career. You know, that's another undrafted free

485
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:26,359
Speaker 15: agent who's been in this league for twelve years and

486
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:30,680
Speaker 15: how his play in every room he's ever been raised

487
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:33,439
Speaker 15: the level of everyone in the room. And Ronnie's done that.

488
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:36,439
Speaker 15: But what's great to see is t Mac, you know,

489
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 15: answering the belt. People forget about how well Team Mac

490
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:41,879
Speaker 15: played last week. I mean, he had seven tackles, he

491
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:44,560
Speaker 15: had a PBu, he had a sack coming off an

492
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:47,680
Speaker 15: injury with no practice. So you're seeing young guys raise

493
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:50,280
Speaker 15: the level and then you're seeing other guys trying to

494
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:52,720
Speaker 15: touch it and it's just bringing the whole room up.

495
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 15: So again, personnel, you know, a great job with those guys,

496
00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:00,560
Speaker 15: bringing those guys in. You know, Obviously they're coached well,

497
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:03,359
Speaker 15: I know they're coaches at Ohio State. They were coached

498
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 15: well coming in. They're eager, they're super urgent, they're tough.

499
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:09,840
Speaker 15: They're exactly what you want in a free agent. And

500
00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:11,840
Speaker 15: I'll be honest with you, if they were drafted, I'd

501
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:12,840
Speaker 15: be fired up too.

502
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:14,800
Speaker 7: You know, I'm just even more now because a year

503
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:18,280
Speaker 7: ago that guy with Anthony Bell. Yeah, yep, what kind

504
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:18,960
Speaker 7: of year is here?

505
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:21,080
Speaker 15: You know what, Dee Bell player played his best you

506
00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:23,240
Speaker 15: know a ball. He took sixty force. He took every

507
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:25,359
Speaker 15: snap in that game. I don't think that he had

508
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:27,760
Speaker 15: an emmy or or you know, a real mental error.

509
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:29,879
Speaker 15: He played clean of fishing ball. But the best thing

510
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:32,960
Speaker 15: about the Bell is he's a violent tackler. You know,

511
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:35,520
Speaker 15: coaching safetests for as long as I have the one

512
00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:37,320
Speaker 15: thing that people kind of just you know, they think

513
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:39,840
Speaker 15: about man coverage, right or they think about you know,

514
00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:40,600
Speaker 15: the third level.

515
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:42,920
Speaker 7: The most important thing that you do with safety. Every

516
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:43,800
Speaker 7: play is tackled.

517
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:45,800
Speaker 15: And that young man can bring his feet all the

518
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:47,320
Speaker 15: way to a ball carrier. And the other thing he

519
00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:49,239
Speaker 15: does really well is when he violently raps you, when

520
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:51,840
Speaker 15: he sinks his teeth into you ball carriers go down

521
00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 15: and that's probably what he does best.

522
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:55,120
Speaker 7: So but I'm proud of him. He's done a great

523
00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:56,440
Speaker 7: job to this point too.

524
00:20:57,359 --> 00:20:59,920
Speaker 11: Somebody big plays and the takeaways even in the free season.

525
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:01,960
Speaker 11: I mean, how do you expect that to translate into

526
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:03,760
Speaker 11: the regular season. Is there an emphasis that you guys

527
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:05,960
Speaker 11: a plan that you guys have to kind of keep

528
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:06,400
Speaker 11: carrying over?

529
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:09,879
Speaker 15: It's just naturally, it's not natural. It's definitely well to

530
00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:12,840
Speaker 15: some players, it is natural. But we're working hard on

531
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 15: it out here.

532
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:13,520
Speaker 3: You know.

533
00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:14,640
Speaker 7: Coach Schwartz has.

534
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:17,760
Speaker 15: Us, you know, tracking deep balls pretty much every day

535
00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:21,880
Speaker 15: we can. He's big on again when I say visual safeties,

536
00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:25,199
Speaker 15: he's big on those safeties, fighting the ball and getting

537
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:27,040
Speaker 15: as visual as as soon as you can. When I

538
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:28,920
Speaker 15: say that, you may have to read a key take

539
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:30,320
Speaker 15: your eyes to there, but as soon as I can

540
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:31,920
Speaker 15: get my eyes back to that quarterback.

541
00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:34,680
Speaker 7: You know, that's the positives defense. So we're hoping that

542
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:35,320
Speaker 7: it carries over.

543
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:36,960
Speaker 15: We're going to keep doing the things you guys see

544
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:39,879
Speaker 15: as doing out here with throwing balls constantly, you know,

545
00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:42,960
Speaker 15: shooting jugs constantly, and then my job to get to

546
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:45,919
Speaker 15: provide Coach Schwartz with what he wants in terms of

547
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:48,359
Speaker 15: visual safeties and getting our eyes back to the quarterbacks soon.

548
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:48,600
Speaker 3: As we can.

549
00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:52,560
Speaker 1: The players come to the podium. Next, it's cornerback Greg Newsome.

550
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 1: He talked about the importance of the joint practices with

551
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:58,040
Speaker 1: the Eagles and how going against the wide receivers on

552
00:21:58,080 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 1: this team has made the defensive back.

553
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:01,680
Speaker 3: How good did it feel?

554
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:03,720
Speaker 9: Just I mean last week he got in there against

555
00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:06,199
Speaker 9: the Eagles. What did you gain personally from that? What

556
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:08,040
Speaker 9: did you feel like you guys gained as a as

557
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:09,560
Speaker 9: a secondary specific also?

558
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:13,199
Speaker 17: Yeah, I mean, you know, having an opportunity to play against,

559
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:16,159
Speaker 17: you know, a Super Bowl contender team that was just

560
00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:18,560
Speaker 17: in the Super Bowl is amazing for us as a

561
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 17: team in general. It showed us, you know, where we

562
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:23,639
Speaker 17: are at currently and you know, we got some ways

563
00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 17: to go. But I thought we went out there, you know, competed.

564
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:28,600
Speaker 17: Uh So I was excited by you know what the

565
00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:29,880
Speaker 17: things we put on tape out there?

566
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:30,320
Speaker 3: Did?

567
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:32,800
Speaker 9: Was there? Spelton specifically, you can were saying, you know,

568
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:36,080
Speaker 9: you know one you know positive or negatives like we

569
00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:38,960
Speaker 9: need you know, I don't just that you learned from those.

570
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:42,919
Speaker 17: I mean, positive is just our d line man like

571
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:46,879
Speaker 17: they were doing amazing out there against you know, arguably

572
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:48,560
Speaker 17: one of the best old lines in the league. So,

573
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 17: you know, just seeing that super positive, and you know,

574
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:53,840
Speaker 17: it's always we always got stuff to work on. So

575
00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:56,639
Speaker 17: I think we took a you know, a great step forward.

576
00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:59,439
Speaker 18: It seems like compar to last year in those joint practices,

577
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:01,320
Speaker 18: especially like this year, it just seemed like you guys

578
00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:03,200
Speaker 18: as a defense made it so much harder on those

579
00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 18: cast catchers and it's a great cast catching or do

580
00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:07,600
Speaker 18: you feel like there was a difference.

581
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:10,040
Speaker 3: There compared to a year ago, for sure? And I think.

582
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:13,639
Speaker 17: Talent wise, like I feel like we've always had a

583
00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:15,800
Speaker 17: lot of talent, but I just feel like, you know,

584
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:18,199
Speaker 17: what we do outside of the building, you know, always together,

585
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:21,800
Speaker 17: literally every single day, guys are doing stuff together, getting

586
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:24,040
Speaker 17: food together. So I just think that camaraderie that we

587
00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:26,880
Speaker 17: have not only in the secondary, around the whole entire

588
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:29,159
Speaker 17: defense and the whole team is just amazing. So I

589
00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:30,920
Speaker 17: think it's definitely showing on the field.

590
00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:33,760
Speaker 5: Time missed a concern to you at all. And do

591
00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:35,480
Speaker 5: you feel like you're still on pace to be where

592
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:36,360
Speaker 5: you wanted to be Week one?

593
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 3: Yeah? For sure.

594
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:41,080
Speaker 17: Nah, I mean sadly, I've you know, had this happen before.

595
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:44,240
Speaker 17: But Nah, you know, I'm always engaged.

596
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:45,159
Speaker 3: You know.

597
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:47,480
Speaker 17: I credit myself on being, you know, one of the

598
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:50,320
Speaker 17: smartest guys out there, So I'm definitely you know, able

599
00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:52,720
Speaker 17: to take a lot of mental reps, and I think

600
00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:55,040
Speaker 17: it just allows other guys to go out there and

601
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:57,760
Speaker 17: make plays like I think me, like I said before,

602
00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:00,359
Speaker 17: like me being out there. Obviously I would to be

603
00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:02,600
Speaker 17: out there, but it gave guys like you know, Caleb

604
00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:05,560
Speaker 17: Biggers and Cam Mitchell gave him some more reps and

605
00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:07,719
Speaker 17: show what they can do. So now I kind of

606
00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:09,399
Speaker 17: try to find a positive in every negative.

607
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:11,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, I wanted to ask you about Cam. Obviously you

608
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:12,840
Speaker 5: know him super well, but he feels like he's showing

609
00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 5: up a lot. What have you seen from him? Are

610
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:17,400
Speaker 5: you how impressed with you are the quick I guess

611
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:18,000
Speaker 5: transition to.

612
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:21,080
Speaker 17: The NFL for him, Man, I'm super proud of him. Uh,

613
00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:24,720
Speaker 17: He's a guy you know, came in and mistakes that

614
00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:27,639
Speaker 17: he's made, he doesn't make him twice And I'm not like,

615
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 17: I'm not really too excited right now for him, honestly

616
00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:34,600
Speaker 17: because I expected him to do this like I said

617
00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:36,439
Speaker 17: it from the jump, Like even before I was like

618
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 17: cam Mitchell was one of the best corners in college

619
00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:40,920
Speaker 17: football and he fell to us.

620
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:42,560
Speaker 3: So you know, we'll definitely take him.

621
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 17: But I'm not really too excited for what he's doing

622
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:47,159
Speaker 17: because I expect him to be like this. I expect

623
00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:48,879
Speaker 17: him to get out there and make plays. Like we

624
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:51,920
Speaker 17: have high expectations for our room. So like, that's nothing

625
00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:52,840
Speaker 17: that I haven't seen before.

626
00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:53,840
Speaker 6: And coaches have.

627
00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:56,320
Speaker 11: Talked about the defense being a little bit more simplified

628
00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:57,840
Speaker 11: this year, or is that what we're seeing out here

629
00:24:57,920 --> 00:24:59,280
Speaker 11: to this hot start and you guys.

630
00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:04,520
Speaker 17: Kind of see Ah, for sure, it's definitely some stuff

631
00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:06,960
Speaker 17: though that we kind of mix up. But I think

632
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:09,399
Speaker 17: it's just you know, the sense of urgency that coach Schwartz,

633
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:13,240
Speaker 17: you know, coaches us with, Like he doesn't accept you know, mediocre.

634
00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:15,280
Speaker 17: So you know, when we when we get out there,

635
00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:17,440
Speaker 17: we get new coverages and things like that. Guys aren't

636
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:20,160
Speaker 17: making the same mistake twice, which is a good thing.

637
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:22,480
Speaker 17: Like it's definitely some mistakes being made still, but I

638
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:24,560
Speaker 17: think the sense of urgency that we're playing with and

639
00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:27,080
Speaker 17: you know, learning with, and our teachers are teaching with

640
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 17: is just you know, at of all time high when you.

641
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:31,560
Speaker 13: Look at that defensive throwing down if it's been rebuilt

642
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:35,280
Speaker 13: with Miles there and now that you've gotten to actually

643
00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:38,880
Speaker 13: see it in motion, Just what does that do for you?

644
00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:41,800
Speaker 13: Is someone in the secondary knowing that you can have

645
00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:45,000
Speaker 13: that type of pressure ready to go up front versus

646
00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:46,200
Speaker 13: maybe years past.

647
00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:47,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, just thank you lord.

648
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:51,760
Speaker 17: I mean that ball gotta come out at super fast,

649
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:55,720
Speaker 17: Like I mean, just even sitting there the game before

650
00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:59,320
Speaker 17: against the Commanders and just saying, you know, the ability

651
00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:01,720
Speaker 17: to get safety he's from a holding penalty and things

652
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:03,640
Speaker 17: like that, like that's amazing.

653
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:05,880
Speaker 3: So you know, I'm I'm glad we got those guys

654
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:06,320
Speaker 3: on my team.

655
00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:09,000
Speaker 17: It makes my job a lot easier, makes us a lot,

656
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:11,840
Speaker 17: you know, more confident on the back end knowing, you know,

657
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:12,639
Speaker 17: we could be real.

658
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:14,360
Speaker 3: Sticky in coverage cause those guys that will get there.

659
00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:17,960
Speaker 8: When we talk to Grant at in West Virginia, Uh,

660
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:19,680
Speaker 8: he was talking about the fact that he doesn't feel

661
00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:22,120
Speaker 8: he's reached his potential yet and that you know, he's

662
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:24,600
Speaker 8: got the bar set at great and he's really hurting

663
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:25,159
Speaker 8: on there this year.

664
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:26,840
Speaker 6: So I'm wondering you know about you.

665
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:28,880
Speaker 8: Where do you have your bar set for yourself?

666
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:30,720
Speaker 2: And what are you meaning for the shore?

667
00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:33,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, I don't.

668
00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:35,800
Speaker 17: I definitely don't think I'm even close to know the

669
00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:39,119
Speaker 17: level that I can get to. But you know, for me,

670
00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:42,639
Speaker 17: it's just coming out every day, just working. You know,

671
00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:45,840
Speaker 17: I kind of try to speak stuff into existence, but

672
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:47,760
Speaker 17: my my stuff is just more gonna come from me

673
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:50,280
Speaker 17: being out there playing, Like I don't wanna say too

674
00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:52,240
Speaker 17: much or just wanna go out there, you know, and

675
00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:54,680
Speaker 17: and make some strides every year. Uh, But I definitely

676
00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:56,080
Speaker 17: don't think I'm close to my potential.

677
00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:58,200
Speaker 3: Great how much you hope saying?

678
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:00,640
Speaker 9: Is just kind of see the mixing and matches that

679
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:03,159
Speaker 9: that Schwartz is doing with between the safeties and the

680
00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:05,840
Speaker 9: corners and how he's utilizing all of you guys.

681
00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:08,119
Speaker 3: Ah, he's doing an amazing job. You know.

682
00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:10,520
Speaker 17: I feel like we cross train a lot of people

683
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:12,639
Speaker 17: where we can do a lot of things, and you know,

684
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:14,240
Speaker 17: being able to do that, I think you kind of

685
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:17,280
Speaker 17: mess up the defense, you know, with maybe you having

686
00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:19,879
Speaker 17: you know, MJ inside and then I'm outside, like you

687
00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:22,040
Speaker 17: can't get a tail on us. M So I think

688
00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:25,920
Speaker 17: with shorts having like that multiple that multiple defense is amazing.

689
00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:27,160
Speaker 3: I know we haven't.

690
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:29,120
Speaker 10: Seen everything, but do you feel like there's still more

691
00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:31,160
Speaker 10: that you haven't even seen that the gym might throw

692
00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:31,640
Speaker 10: at you guys?

693
00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:35,439
Speaker 3: Uh, yeah, I wouldn't be surprised. Yeah, I think he

694
00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:36,679
Speaker 3: has so much stuff.

695
00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:39,199
Speaker 17: But you know, he said we were one of the

696
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:41,520
Speaker 17: best groups of being able to you know, get information

697
00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:43,680
Speaker 17: and retain it and you know, put it on tape.

698
00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:46,159
Speaker 17: So he definitely probably got some more stuff out there

699
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:46,840
Speaker 17: that we haven't seen.

700
00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:48,879
Speaker 5: It kind of call over up Chris's question, do you

701
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:51,480
Speaker 5: f are you pleased with what you think your role's

702
00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:53,560
Speaker 5: gonna be and how Jim is gonna use you, whether

703
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:55,440
Speaker 5: it's outside, the combination of outside and side.

704
00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:56,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm super pleased.

705
00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:59,640
Speaker 17: I mean I'm once again able to show my versatility

706
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:03,560
Speaker 17: when I am inside. You know, gladly I won't be

707
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:05,320
Speaker 17: you know, I said, like last year, I kind of

708
00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:07,280
Speaker 17: felt like more of a little bit of a linebacker.

709
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:09,720
Speaker 3: But I think my role is is amazing.

710
00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:11,960
Speaker 17: I mean, He's expecting me to do a lot of

711
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:15,080
Speaker 17: things on the inside, so I'm super excited for it.

712
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:15,240
Speaker 1: Uh.

713
00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:17,080
Speaker 17: You know, I'm just trying to do whatever it takes

714
00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:18,560
Speaker 17: for us to get to where we need to get to.

715
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:23,520
Speaker 13: How difficult for these receivers making your guys' job on

716
00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:25,600
Speaker 13: the defensive side and also making you.

717
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:26,760
Speaker 3: Guys better the players.

718
00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:30,480
Speaker 17: Yeah, I mean these receivers are amazing, you know with

719
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:34,200
Speaker 17: coop Elijah DBJ said, you gotta see Austin out here

720
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:37,760
Speaker 17: playing like like a number one somewhere too. Like, we

721
00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:40,200
Speaker 17: have so many guys that do so many different things,

722
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:42,600
Speaker 17: so I feel like we're prepared, Like even going into

723
00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:45,480
Speaker 17: the Eagles practice, I feel like our guys have you know,

724
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:48,560
Speaker 17: put us in position to get to that practice and

725
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:51,560
Speaker 17: you know dominate. So our our guys are amazing and

726
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:53,239
Speaker 17: I'm definitely uh thankful for 'em.

727
00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:56,080
Speaker 8: Do you feel like, uh, there are other defensive backs

728
00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:58,760
Speaker 8: on this team that have shown they are as good

729
00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:00,120
Speaker 8: in the slot as you have.

730
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:02,800
Speaker 3: Now the last year or so. Ah, for sure, I

731
00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:03,480
Speaker 3: think everybody.

732
00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:07,400
Speaker 17: Like I said, I I feel like our sixth quote

733
00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:10,200
Speaker 17: unquote six corner would be a starter somewhere else.

734
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:11,520
Speaker 3: Like I feel like a room is that deep?

735
00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:15,840
Speaker 17: You know, you got uh l Zoe out there, Zoe

736
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:20,520
Speaker 17: Burns playing amazing, Kayler Bigger's playing amazing, cam Mitchell playing amazing.

737
00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:23,560
Speaker 17: We got guys literally that I feel like can easily

738
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:26,240
Speaker 17: step in if needed to play the slot, play outside,

739
00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:28,920
Speaker 17: like I feel our our whole entire room is good

740
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:31,600
Speaker 17: enough to literally if they weren't in this room, they

741
00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:33,240
Speaker 17: would be playing on another field.

742
00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:36,880
Speaker 14: Coreanda talked about the importance of leverage in Sports's defense.

743
00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:39,760
Speaker 14: Is it different this year how they're teaching you leverage

744
00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:41,960
Speaker 14: and the importance of that, or is this something maybe

745
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:44,880
Speaker 14: you're used to in previous years.

746
00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:47,640
Speaker 3: It's just more like you must stay.

747
00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:51,160
Speaker 17: I s like if we get beat, say we're supposed

748
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:53,160
Speaker 17: to be outside leverage and we get beat to the outside, Oh,

749
00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:55,160
Speaker 17: he's gonna give it to you, like he's gonna let

750
00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:57,000
Speaker 17: you have it. So like it's just more of an

751
00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:59,680
Speaker 17: emphasis this year. I would say that's always been a

752
00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:01,640
Speaker 17: thing obviously in football. You you know, you try to

753
00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:04,200
Speaker 17: stick to your levers, but you you can't get beat

754
00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:07,040
Speaker 17: to your levers with shorts, he'll get on you.

755
00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:09,719
Speaker 3: So it's definitely more of a point of emphasis.

756
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:12,760
Speaker 6: Defense was able to get two games in a row

757
00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:13,640
Speaker 6: back to back safeties.

758
00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:17,000
Speaker 11: Everyone on the sideline putting the symbol of you see

759
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:19,480
Speaker 11: that energy translating and do you see it kind of

760
00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:21,880
Speaker 11: may continue into the regular season from the feedback you

761
00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:22,480
Speaker 11: guys you're able to.

762
00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:24,240
Speaker 3: Get from those players, Oh for sure.

763
00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:27,280
Speaker 17: I mean when you got you know, are two deep

764
00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:29,760
Speaker 17: and three deep making plays like that. Like you know,

765
00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:32,800
Speaker 17: we're super excited for him, and I think it'll definitely

766
00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:35,600
Speaker 17: translate over you see. The sideline is just so happy

767
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:38,080
Speaker 17: for those guys too, So like I feel like with

768
00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:41,680
Speaker 17: this team, everyone wants everyone to succeed, and I feel

769
00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:44,600
Speaker 17: like around the league that's not the case everywhere, you know,

770
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:47,440
Speaker 17: So I definitely think that energy will definitely, you know,

771
00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:49,120
Speaker 17: translate to to the real games.

772
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:52,040
Speaker 18: Greg, when we talk to Jim, he's mentioned like wanting

773
00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:54,760
Speaker 18: you guys to leave the league in some intangibles like

774
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:59,480
Speaker 18: effort and passion and things like that. What you think

775
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:02,200
Speaker 18: is play when you know, he kind of puts that

776
00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:04,160
Speaker 18: out there this early and when.

777
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:05,080
Speaker 7: He got near and stuff like that.

778
00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:07,000
Speaker 3: He has high expectations for us.

779
00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:10,280
Speaker 17: You know, he coaches us hard, but that's because he

780
00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:13,600
Speaker 17: has high expectations. So you know, when we set a

781
00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:16,480
Speaker 17: standard for us as players and where we're not being

782
00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:18,960
Speaker 17: to that standard, like we we expect our coaches to

783
00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:22,479
Speaker 17: you know, push us harder and harder. And you know,

784
00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:24,880
Speaker 17: with him it's just like he's gonna coach us hard

785
00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:26,680
Speaker 17: because he doesn't think we should be a top ten

786
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:29,400
Speaker 17: defense or top eight defense. Like we're trying to be

787
00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:31,840
Speaker 17: the best defense. So we're gonna you know, we're gonna

788
00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:34,160
Speaker 17: hold ourselves to that, to that standard, and he's gonna

789
00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:39,920
Speaker 17: push us every single day. It's just like like what

790
00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:42,640
Speaker 17: he said is, you know, when you got little guys

791
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:45,720
Speaker 17: like me going out there hidden, you, the d line

792
00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:47,760
Speaker 17: has to follow suit. Like if I'm coming out there hidden,

793
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:49,960
Speaker 17: big guys gotta be able to hit. When you got

794
00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:52,440
Speaker 17: big guys out there at front running to the ball,

795
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:54,640
Speaker 17: sprinting to the ball, that makes us feel like we

796
00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:56,880
Speaker 17: gotta sprint to the ball. But it's it's more so

797
00:31:57,080 --> 00:32:00,560
Speaker 17: like celebrating your brother's successes. You know, when someone may play,

798
00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:03,280
Speaker 17: you should see everybody running over there to celebrate. And

799
00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:05,479
Speaker 17: I think when you do that, then you'll you'll definitely

800
00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:07,560
Speaker 17: see that. You know, you're a family Craig.

801
00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:10,400
Speaker 9: As a defender, you know they're lining lies you up

802
00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:11,680
Speaker 9: in the backfield as a running back.

803
00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:13,160
Speaker 3: What he's able to do?

804
00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:13,760
Speaker 4: What does that?

805
00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:16,240
Speaker 9: What string does that put on a defense? As somebody

806
00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:18,640
Speaker 9: has to defend it and go against it in practice.

807
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:20,040
Speaker 3: Man, it's crazy.

808
00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:22,600
Speaker 17: I Mean I see him in the backfield sometimes, but

809
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:24,800
Speaker 17: sometimes I'm supposed to be to the field. Sometimes they

810
00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:27,480
Speaker 17: gotta guard him in the backfield. Sometimes he'll take a

811
00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:29,600
Speaker 17: hand off, sometimes he'll motion out like. It's just so

812
00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:32,280
Speaker 17: much that he can do. And I definitely it's definitely

813
00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:34,080
Speaker 17: hard for us. But I mean I don't have to

814
00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:36,400
Speaker 17: play against him in the game, so it's gonna be

815
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:38,640
Speaker 17: hard for the other team. But yeah, I just love

816
00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:41,040
Speaker 17: that he's able to do so much. He can run

817
00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:43,640
Speaker 17: the ball at seeing him preseason, obviously he's one of

818
00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:45,719
Speaker 17: the you know, most elite route runners.

819
00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:48,240
Speaker 3: So I'm definitely puts pressure on the defense. What makes

820
00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:49,200
Speaker 3: him such a good route there?

821
00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:52,640
Speaker 17: Man, First of all, he's is low center of gravity,

822
00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:55,959
Speaker 17: like get out. But then he's also four to three fast,

823
00:32:56,040 --> 00:32:59,080
Speaker 17: So it's like a guy who's smaller, he's shifty, it's

824
00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:01,320
Speaker 17: hard to get hands on, but he's super fat, Like

825
00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:04,520
Speaker 17: he's just can he really could do everything. So it's

826
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:07,640
Speaker 17: definitely hard because when a guy that can run any

827
00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:10,080
Speaker 17: route in the routrey makes him very dangerous.

828
00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:13,560
Speaker 1: Finally, New Brown's wide receiver Elijah Moore talked about what

829
00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:16,000
Speaker 1: it's been like lining up as a running back and

830
00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:18,640
Speaker 1: what he's seen from breakout star Austin Watkins.

831
00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:23,600
Speaker 4: Y're feeling. I feel good man, day by day.

832
00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:25,840
Speaker 12: You know, I needed a couple of days to get

833
00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:28,360
Speaker 12: it right, you know, and now it's just fine, fine, tune.

834
00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:30,360
Speaker 4: It up again to just fall on the ball. Yeah,

835
00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:31,000
Speaker 4: I fell on the ball.

836
00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:31,920
Speaker 3: The ball run.

837
00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:34,960
Speaker 12: Now, it was the first the first play, the out,

838
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:35,680
Speaker 12: I'm throwing the ball.

839
00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:38,640
Speaker 10: That was our first kind of look at how they

840
00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:40,440
Speaker 10: want to use you. I mean, how fun has it

841
00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:42,360
Speaker 10: been to kind of figure that out and explore all

842
00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:42,960
Speaker 10: the things you.

843
00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:46,080
Speaker 4: Can do in this offense? I mean it's really super fun.

844
00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:47,760
Speaker 12: I feel like there's a lot that I can do

845
00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:49,720
Speaker 12: and I'm grateful that I'm being able to have the

846
00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:52,520
Speaker 12: opportunity to do it. You know, so I can't do nothing,

847
00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:53,920
Speaker 12: but thank god I'm in this position.

848
00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:56,480
Speaker 9: How much have you lined up in the backfield since

849
00:33:56,800 --> 00:33:58,560
Speaker 9: maybe even back to high school.

850
00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:00,800
Speaker 12: A high school, a lot, college, a little bit with

851
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:02,240
Speaker 12: Kiffin in the Little League.

852
00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:04,480
Speaker 4: That's what I played. Yeah, I was.

853
00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:06,160
Speaker 18: Gonna say to run some of those kind of plays

854
00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:08,440
Speaker 18: that you ran against the commerses fuel almost like playground.

855
00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:09,560
Speaker 7: Sound like, do you feel like a little.

856
00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:09,960
Speaker 3: Kid agat 'em.

857
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:12,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, like some of my other teammates though, always like

858
00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:14,000
Speaker 4: joke on me and be like, oh you back at Davy.

859
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:16,040
Speaker 12: That was my little league found So yeah, man, it's

860
00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:18,319
Speaker 12: you know, it always feels good to do more than

861
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:19,880
Speaker 12: just what is expected for me to do.

862
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:23,000
Speaker 7: Reachurprise for I say, said that.

863
00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:26,959
Speaker 8: Pebo you know, said that he didn't really necessarily want

864
00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:29,480
Speaker 8: to have that dual moniker or you know, running back

865
00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:30,200
Speaker 8: and wide.

866
00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:32,040
Speaker 6: Receiver, And I'm just wondering, are you.

867
00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:34,080
Speaker 8: Totally cool with that doing both.

868
00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:35,239
Speaker 6: Things and and it so work?

869
00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:38,040
Speaker 12: Yeah, I mean whatever they want me to do another

870
00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:39,440
Speaker 12: way to get get the bond scored.

871
00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:40,600
Speaker 4: So I I don't care.

872
00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:41,360
Speaker 3: How I how I get it.

873
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:42,080
Speaker 4: I just wanted to buy.

874
00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:44,640
Speaker 8: So the fact that like running backs, like if you

875
00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:47,120
Speaker 8: aren't considered in you know, in that category, you know,

876
00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:50,160
Speaker 8: the the money isn't necessarily as big as as for receiver.

877
00:34:50,200 --> 00:34:51,520
Speaker 8: Do you worry about anything like that?

878
00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:53,080
Speaker 4: N Nah, I don't worry about that.

879
00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:54,560
Speaker 12: I mean, I know I'm not a running back and

880
00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:56,319
Speaker 12: I know I'm not lining up there strictly for the

881
00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:58,680
Speaker 12: whole game. I s at least I hope not, you know,

882
00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:01,120
Speaker 12: So yeah, I I I play receiver that can do

883
00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:01,760
Speaker 12: a lot of things.

884
00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:05,640
Speaker 5: We're surprised when Kevin kind of unveiled at that he

885
00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:07,560
Speaker 5: was gonna use you in as many ways as he is.

886
00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:10,520
Speaker 12: I mean, the first day I got here, you know,

887
00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:12,040
Speaker 12: they kind of was showing me what they had to

888
00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:14,040
Speaker 12: feel for. And then I feel like as soon as

889
00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:15,960
Speaker 12: they see me practice and see what I got to do,

890
00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:18,640
Speaker 12: they like it was this experimenting and see what I

891
00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:20,680
Speaker 12: could do. So yeah, I mean I kind of knew.

892
00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:22,319
Speaker 12: I just didn't know it was gonna be maybe as

893
00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:24,680
Speaker 12: much or as little. I guess it's my game plan, right.

894
00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:25,279
Speaker 4: Yeah?

895
00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:27,000
Speaker 6: Did you regret not having.

896
00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:29,719
Speaker 8: An opportunity and do team against such a great.

897
00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:30,839
Speaker 3: Defense and fluent on the up?

898
00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:33,359
Speaker 7: I didn't hear you couch on trail regret not having

899
00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:34,040
Speaker 7: the opportunity?

900
00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:36,799
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, yeah, I wanted.

901
00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:38,520
Speaker 3: I I wanted not more than.

902
00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:40,919
Speaker 12: The practice that specific week, more than any other week,

903
00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:44,080
Speaker 12: you know, so especially during pre you know, pre season.

904
00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:46,880
Speaker 4: But that was really annoying to me.

905
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:47,680
Speaker 3: But you know, it is what it is.

906
00:35:47,719 --> 00:35:49,120
Speaker 12: I mean, I'm taking steps forward, and you know, I

907
00:35:49,160 --> 00:35:49,920
Speaker 12: gotta be positive.

908
00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:53,840
Speaker 13: I watcha what makes you such eat for a slim player?

909
00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:56,080
Speaker 13: You know, they wind you up outside, they mind you

910
00:35:56,160 --> 00:35:58,560
Speaker 13: and slot throw you in the backfield and you run

911
00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:00,960
Speaker 13: and catch you out back. What makes you such a

912
00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:03,839
Speaker 13: prolific versus nice together?

913
00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:06,200
Speaker 12: I just love football, you know, And I feel like

914
00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:08,719
Speaker 12: if you love football, you'll you'll learn to be good

915
00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:11,080
Speaker 12: at whatever they they need you to do, you know,

916
00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:12,840
Speaker 12: especially at this level. You know, there's a lot of

917
00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:15,080
Speaker 12: good players in the league. We gotta have respect for

918
00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:17,279
Speaker 12: that too. So whatever they need me to get to

919
00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:18,800
Speaker 12: get done, you know, I love it. So you know,

920
00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:20,040
Speaker 12: I think I I think I can get it done.

921
00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:23,279
Speaker 8: I just want to talk on J two in Philadelphia that, uh,

922
00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:25,640
Speaker 8: the the Eagles defense kind of got the best of

923
00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:27,080
Speaker 8: the Bronze offense.

924
00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:28,080
Speaker 3: A little bit from where you.

925
00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:29,319
Speaker 6: You know, you did individuals that.

926
00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:32,719
Speaker 8: Take but were you thinking to yourself would have been

927
00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:33,320
Speaker 8: a little.

928
00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:34,680
Speaker 6: Different I've been out there.

929
00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:36,880
Speaker 12: Uh yeah, of course, you know how those thoughts do

930
00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:39,320
Speaker 12: go through through my head. But you know, it's it's practice.

931
00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:41,040
Speaker 12: You know, we gonna have a ups and our downs.

932
00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:41,160
Speaker 3: You know.

933
00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:42,600
Speaker 4: I guess it was just a day that they got

934
00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:43,200
Speaker 4: the best of us.

935
00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:45,879
Speaker 12: But come game time, you know, I'm pretty sure we're

936
00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:47,479
Speaker 12: gonna be stepping in the right in the right direction.

937
00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:50,920
Speaker 9: How much did you describe the way you're You and

938
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:53,480
Speaker 9: Deshan have kind of grown together over these.

939
00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:54,240
Speaker 4: Last couple of months.

940
00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:56,640
Speaker 12: It's been it's been a huge, huge blessing, you know,

941
00:36:57,040 --> 00:36:59,400
Speaker 12: having someone like to learn learn from, just having that

942
00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:00,799
Speaker 12: example of what it's like to be a pro.

943
00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:03,840
Speaker 4: You know, that's like my main thing, you know, just watching.

944
00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:06,680
Speaker 12: Him every every day, watching his routine, seeing just how

945
00:37:06,840 --> 00:37:09,000
Speaker 12: he impacts the game before he steps on the field,

946
00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:09,320
Speaker 12: you know.

947
00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:11,040
Speaker 4: So it's it's it's definitely something special.

948
00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:13,759
Speaker 5: Or Murray talks so much about route running, and you know,

949
00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:15,560
Speaker 5: the coaches have talked about your route running.

950
00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:16,960
Speaker 7: Have you taken a lot from him?

951
00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:17,759
Speaker 4: Is that something you guys?

952
00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:19,080
Speaker 3: Yeah?

953
00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:21,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, talking about him? Yeah, of course.

954
00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:24,680
Speaker 12: Man, he's been killing the league for it ten nine,

955
00:37:24,760 --> 00:37:26,600
Speaker 12: ten years now, so how could you not.

956
00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:28,320
Speaker 4: So that's that's my mindset.

957
00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:30,480
Speaker 5: What have you taken from him as far as your

958
00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:31,399
Speaker 5: rock running man?

959
00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:34,960
Speaker 12: Everything literally everything man, as far as releases, man, as

960
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:37,840
Speaker 12: far as just his thought process on different routes. You know,

961
00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:39,920
Speaker 12: it's my mindset on on what he sees at the

962
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:41,840
Speaker 12: line and later in the route. Just literally everything.

963
00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:44,920
Speaker 10: We hear, guys, we hear guys, talking about Marquise even

964
00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:46,439
Speaker 10: though he's not on the field, how much he helps

965
00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:46,879
Speaker 10: in that room.

966
00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:49,359
Speaker 12: A man, what has he been like for you guys

967
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:52,160
Speaker 12: in the He got the energy, you know, for someone

968
00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:55,120
Speaker 12: who's not playing, you wouldn't know that he's not there,

969
00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:56,960
Speaker 12: you know. I feel like he does a really good

970
00:37:57,040 --> 00:37:59,239
Speaker 12: job with that and just being present. You know, when

971
00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:01,239
Speaker 12: you when you're not playing and people could be down,

972
00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:04,000
Speaker 12: that guy is never down, you know. So you you know,

973
00:38:04,040 --> 00:38:04,960
Speaker 12: you gotta be thankful for that.

974
00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:06,040
Speaker 3: When when a guy.

975
00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:08,319
Speaker 10: Isn't playing but has that much undergeat do you sort

976
00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:09,960
Speaker 10: of feel like, Okay, I gotta match that one.

977
00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:12,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, I gotta do that too, exactly.

978
00:38:12,280 --> 00:38:13,759
Speaker 12: You know, it's days I'm served and not a lot

979
00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:15,719
Speaker 12: of people probably wanna come out here, you know, but

980
00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:18,040
Speaker 12: how could you not seeing him he's not even gonna play,

981
00:38:18,440 --> 00:38:21,640
Speaker 12: you know, so, man, respect how cool is it for

982
00:38:21,719 --> 00:38:22,400
Speaker 12: you to watch on.

983
00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:26,279
Speaker 8: A younger guy like Austin Watkins go out there and

984
00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:28,480
Speaker 8: have some so much success on the field.

985
00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:30,800
Speaker 12: And I mean that was like my favorite part of

986
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:33,000
Speaker 12: you know, I'm I'm gonna be suffering towards a receiver room,

987
00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:35,479
Speaker 12: but that was like my favorite part about the whole

988
00:38:35,880 --> 00:38:38,560
Speaker 12: preseason this far with seeing him do his thing. You know,

989
00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:41,520
Speaker 12: it's a really good moment to see somebody else sign

990
00:38:41,840 --> 00:38:43,800
Speaker 12: especially someone that you see out here who is you know,

991
00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:46,000
Speaker 12: may not have as much opportunity as everybody else, and

992
00:38:46,040 --> 00:38:48,520
Speaker 12: then goes in and makes it worth his while.

993
00:38:48,719 --> 00:38:50,759
Speaker 3: You know, so, man, kudos to him for.

994
00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:54,960
Speaker 14: Sure, Denzel Greg MJ really different quarterbacks. What is it

995
00:38:55,120 --> 00:38:57,680
Speaker 14: like going against those three guys out here?

996
00:38:57,760 --> 00:38:58,560
Speaker 3: What does that do for you?

997
00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:01,200
Speaker 12: It gets us ready for the games? I guess it's

998
00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:02,560
Speaker 12: all ready for the game, you know. I feel like

999
00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:05,120
Speaker 12: having those guys on the team and they can allow

1000
00:39:05,239 --> 00:39:07,520
Speaker 12: us to when we see somebody else in the game,

1001
00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:09,479
Speaker 12: you know, it's we're not gonna see nothing better.

1002
00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:09,840
Speaker 4: In the practice.

1003
00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:12,200
Speaker 5: You know what, do you think it's such an advantage

1004
00:39:12,360 --> 00:39:14,279
Speaker 5: when they do line you up and running back? What

1005
00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:16,960
Speaker 5: does it do to a defense to have you back

1006
00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:17,600
Speaker 5: here with the Shawn?

1007
00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:19,400
Speaker 12: I don't think that they would expect me to be

1008
00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:21,080
Speaker 12: back there, And if they do, I don't think they

1009
00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:22,160
Speaker 12: expect me to run the ball.

1010
00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:22,759
Speaker 1: You know.

1011
00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:25,160
Speaker 12: I think they probably think I'm gonna run a round,

1012
00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:27,000
Speaker 12: which I'm gonna do that too. So you're gonna pick

1013
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:28,719
Speaker 12: your poison on what you think I'm gonna do. If

1014
00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:30,879
Speaker 12: you guess wrong, man, we got you. Do you feel

1015
00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:32,920
Speaker 12: like the matchups when you do run routs are better

1016
00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:34,360
Speaker 12: when you line up in the back feld? Yeah, I

1017
00:39:34,360 --> 00:39:36,239
Speaker 12: mean I feel like me are a linebacker. What you

1018
00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:38,560
Speaker 12: think I like me any days? Up?

1019
00:39:38,719 --> 00:39:41,200
Speaker 8: What about you know, just you know from a toughness standpoint,

1020
00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:43,319
Speaker 8: and I mean if we're used to getting yours if

1021
00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:45,680
Speaker 8: you catch and you know, how do you rate yourself

1022
00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:48,759
Speaker 8: in terms of just you know, size squart is going

1023
00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:51,000
Speaker 8: up against the pavor linebackers and the better.

1024
00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:53,680
Speaker 12: Definitely gotta get my mind right, you know, going back

1025
00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:55,840
Speaker 12: there line back, you know, line up in the backfield.

1026
00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:57,880
Speaker 12: But it's football, man, I'm be playing football, so I

1027
00:39:57,960 --> 00:39:59,960
Speaker 12: was little I get the ball trying to let up

1028
00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:00,520
Speaker 12: touch me.

1029
00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:02,520
Speaker 4: That's it the way they're using you in.

1030
00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:04,920
Speaker 6: The versatility said, maybe didn't expect this much.

1031
00:40:05,040 --> 00:40:07,920
Speaker 11: When you look back at this offseason and the time

1032
00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:09,719
Speaker 11: that you were starting with Shaan, does it make me

1033
00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:11,759
Speaker 11: feel like a really good idea that you guys were

1034
00:40:11,840 --> 00:40:13,319
Speaker 11: over connect so much and is.

1035
00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:15,880
Speaker 12: That playing into the crafts right now is probably the

1036
00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:18,359
Speaker 12: only reason why it is connecting so much. You know, people,

1037
00:40:18,400 --> 00:40:21,000
Speaker 12: I think it's slept on how much you know, the

1038
00:40:21,120 --> 00:40:23,560
Speaker 12: off the field comes first, you know, like in the game,

1039
00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:26,120
Speaker 12: coach harps on us about picking up your brother, you

1040
00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:28,160
Speaker 12: know what I'm saying, And when when that's your dog,

1041
00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:29,880
Speaker 12: when that's one of your best friends, you're gonna make

1042
00:40:29,920 --> 00:40:31,120
Speaker 12: sure that you pick them up, you know.

1043
00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:32,800
Speaker 3: So I think it is super.

1044
00:40:32,640 --> 00:40:34,480
Speaker 12: Important that we did that and that we continue to

1045
00:40:34,560 --> 00:40:37,080
Speaker 12: hang out and know each other on a personal level.

1046
00:40:37,600 --> 00:40:39,040
Speaker 3: Hey, what did you think of cousin?

1047
00:40:39,160 --> 00:40:40,320
Speaker 4: You guys would like Holt.

1048
00:40:40,239 --> 00:40:41,160
Speaker 3: Bruce with the round.

1049
00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:43,920
Speaker 12: Yeah, I mean, you can't do nothing but get excited

1050
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:45,560
Speaker 12: when the guy who's been in the league, you know, has.

1051
00:40:45,560 --> 00:40:46,600
Speaker 4: High prises as far as that.

1052
00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:49,160
Speaker 12: I just come to work every single day ready to

1053
00:40:49,200 --> 00:40:51,120
Speaker 12: put my best foot forward, and you know, at the end,

1054
00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:52,680
Speaker 12: we're gonna, you know, we're gonna tie it up.

1055
00:40:53,080 --> 00:40:56,839
Speaker 9: Like Kim mentioned that in Kansas City expects you guys

1056
00:40:56,920 --> 00:40:59,320
Speaker 9: to play a little bit more. How important is that

1057
00:40:59,440 --> 00:41:01,239
Speaker 9: to kind of get into a game rhythm and have

1058
00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:03,759
Speaker 9: more opportunity to more than just you had that one

1059
00:41:03,880 --> 00:41:04,960
Speaker 9: drive against Washington.

1060
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:07,359
Speaker 12: Now, Yeah, I think it's super important. That's that's why

1061
00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:09,360
Speaker 12: we were doing what we're doing today, you know, and

1062
00:41:09,480 --> 00:41:11,480
Speaker 12: moving forward. So we're gonna have more practices like that

1063
00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:13,759
Speaker 12: from now on. But I think it is time. You know,

1064
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:15,719
Speaker 12: we're getting closer to it, and you know they got

1065
00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:16,080
Speaker 12: a plan.

1066
00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:16,279
Speaker 3: Man.

1067
00:41:16,320 --> 00:41:20,560
