1 00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:06,000 Speaker 1: We were presented by a win Bett. Betting is a 2 00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:08,560 Speaker 1: team sport, but together it went beat. Eric Ellen here 3 00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:12,520 Speaker 1: in the studio, joined by Jets inside linebacker C. J. Mosley. 4 00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:15,720 Speaker 1: Great to see it. My city too. When the schedule 5 00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:19,119 Speaker 1: came out very recently and he saw the Baltimore Ravens 6 00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:22,759 Speaker 1: the home opener, what do you think it was that 7 00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:24,959 Speaker 1: side and feeling now I missed out on an opportunity 8 00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:28,040 Speaker 1: to play in Baltimore. Uh so you guys open up 9 00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:30,960 Speaker 1: Septemer eleven, you know, a home opener at home, so 10 00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:34,080 Speaker 1: it's definitely gonna be an exciting game. But more importantly, 11 00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:36,839 Speaker 1: you just incited more for an opportunity. Um. I mean 12 00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:39,560 Speaker 1: it's been four maybe four or five years now since 13 00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:42,080 Speaker 1: I played with Baltimore, so you know that hype is 14 00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:44,360 Speaker 1: going to always be there. But when I step on 15 00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:46,560 Speaker 1: that few at the end of the day, I'll be 16 00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:48,519 Speaker 1: happy with a W. I don't care. You care how 17 00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:50,600 Speaker 1: many talkers I have, don't care how many players I made. 18 00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:52,320 Speaker 1: If you come out of the game with a W, 19 00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:54,680 Speaker 1: that's all that matters. What do you think the environment 20 00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:57,280 Speaker 1: is going to be like at MetLife Stadium for Week one? 21 00:00:57,360 --> 00:00:58,720 Speaker 1: I know you've got a lot of work to go 22 00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:02,680 Speaker 1: before then, but just after this offseason it was year 23 00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:08,199 Speaker 1: one under Robert Solo. Last year, big additions, um both 24 00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:11,520 Speaker 1: and free agency and the draft, and everybody's raving about 25 00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:13,200 Speaker 1: the culture, what you guys are building. What do you 26 00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:15,920 Speaker 1: think it's gonna be like to be there? Uh, everybody's 27 00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:17,760 Speaker 1: gonna be on the edge of their seats from from 28 00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:21,280 Speaker 1: start to finish. That's that's the mentality that's kind of 29 00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:23,200 Speaker 1: been set this year, like you said, with the free 30 00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:25,480 Speaker 1: agent signings, with with the people that we got in 31 00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:28,120 Speaker 1: the draft, with the young guys, with the cultural change. 32 00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:31,119 Speaker 1: Now every everybody's saying this is the year, y'all. Y'all 33 00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:33,679 Speaker 1: know how that goes. But um, honestly, you know, just 34 00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:36,600 Speaker 1: being just being here in the locker room, being around 35 00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:40,040 Speaker 1: the guys this offseason, everybody really, you know, feels that 36 00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,160 Speaker 1: that energy, really feels that, you know, this can be 37 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:44,560 Speaker 1: a special year. But we all know it's gonna take 38 00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:46,080 Speaker 1: a lot of work, and like you said, this is 39 00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:48,520 Speaker 1: just the beginning of what we're trying to accomplish. And 40 00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:51,600 Speaker 1: if everybody, you know, stay of course, continue to do 41 00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:54,200 Speaker 1: the right things on and off the field, believe in 42 00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:55,960 Speaker 1: each other, and we can we can go as far 43 00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,000 Speaker 1: as if we want to this year and and for 44 00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:01,279 Speaker 1: more years to come. I charged up. Was met life 45 00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:06,160 Speaker 1: your first game there as it was? It was, It 46 00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:08,760 Speaker 1: wasn't one to forget. I'll tell you that. It was 47 00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:11,240 Speaker 1: a lot of fun um. You know, you know, the 48 00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:13,800 Speaker 1: crowd has always into it um. You know from the 49 00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:15,640 Speaker 1: first from the first snap, you know, it was it 50 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:18,200 Speaker 1: was rocking man. And you don't have that momentum in 51 00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:20,560 Speaker 1: your back. You love to have the crowd riding with 52 00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,320 Speaker 1: you play in and play out. And you really just 53 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:27,040 Speaker 1: felt how offense defense teams just clicking, involving off each other. 54 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,200 Speaker 1: You know, defense get to stop the offense went out 55 00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:31,639 Speaker 1: there and handled their business. Offense didn't get a get 56 00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:34,120 Speaker 1: a touchdown. You know, special teams put put the defense 57 00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:36,120 Speaker 1: in a good position. So it was just it was 58 00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,360 Speaker 1: just a lot of complimentary football going on that game. 59 00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:41,040 Speaker 1: And when you really can click like that and finish 60 00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:43,840 Speaker 1: our games, that's that's when you really know you got something. Well, 61 00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:47,239 Speaker 1: we're gonna talk much more than just the schedule, but 62 00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:48,840 Speaker 1: what do you think when you saw the a f 63 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:52,920 Speaker 1: C North and four consecutive weeks to start the season, Well, Honestly, 64 00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:56,000 Speaker 1: for me, it's it's like another season I'm used to 65 00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:59,320 Speaker 1: you know, playing playing those well, those three opponents you know, 66 00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:01,840 Speaker 1: year and year out. But it's gonna be a test. 67 00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,240 Speaker 1: It's gonna be a test. Earlier in the season. On 68 00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:05,799 Speaker 1: the first four games of the season, a lot of 69 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,640 Speaker 1: mistakes can happen. You know, teams still figure out what 70 00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,200 Speaker 1: they like the best, what personnel, what you know, what 71 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:13,600 Speaker 1: things that can happen. Um. So you know, for us, 72 00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:15,399 Speaker 1: we just got to make sure we come we come 73 00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:17,799 Speaker 1: out precise, We come out and do our best, chold 74 00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:20,760 Speaker 1: not to play, try to play mistake free football, um, 75 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:22,960 Speaker 1: and try to be a team that can really know 76 00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:26,600 Speaker 1: close our games and have the situations really well. Simularly 77 00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:30,679 Speaker 1: playing against the guy like Lamar Jackson. And also with 78 00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:35,440 Speaker 1: that being said, does it help you guys to face 79 00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:39,160 Speaker 1: in an offense is so unique like that in week 80 00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:41,880 Speaker 1: one because you do have the three or four months 81 00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:45,800 Speaker 1: before knowing you're going against something. Yeah, It's it's not easy. 82 00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 1: You know, he's a unique player, one of a contop 83 00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:50,280 Speaker 1: of player. You know, even when we used to go 84 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:52,240 Speaker 1: up against them at the Raven, it was hard to 85 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:55,880 Speaker 1: try to, you know, emulate what he does is it's 86 00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,000 Speaker 1: hard to do. That's why he's one of the best 87 00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:00,720 Speaker 1: quarterback in this league. But I sleep, you know, we 88 00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:02,400 Speaker 1: it comes down look what I just said. You know, 89 00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:04,720 Speaker 1: we have to once we get our game plan that week, 90 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,680 Speaker 1: do our best to execute that game plan. This is NFL. 91 00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:10,360 Speaker 1: You know, he's an VP quarterback. We know what type 92 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:12,200 Speaker 1: of plays he can make with his with his feet down, 93 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:13,920 Speaker 1: with his arms. So at the end of the day, 94 00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:15,400 Speaker 1: you know, we do our best to try to you know, 95 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:17,920 Speaker 1: shot Through was supposed to plays. Knowing that they're gonna 96 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:20,040 Speaker 1: be a heavy run team, try to stop the run 97 00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:22,440 Speaker 1: and make them one dimensional, you know, and just get 98 00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:24,440 Speaker 1: everybody to the ball once you get loose. You got 99 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:27,120 Speaker 1: a milestone coming up. I don't know when we're gonna 100 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:29,960 Speaker 1: air this podcast, but we're taping here in early June. 101 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:32,360 Speaker 1: You can be turning thirty. What do you feel about? 102 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:36,800 Speaker 1: That's like I got a mouthstone. Um, I'm blessed. I'm 103 00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,840 Speaker 1: blessed and honor you still be be sitting here. Um, 104 00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:42,200 Speaker 1: still have guys you know looking up to me. Um, 105 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:45,120 Speaker 1: and you know, for me to still be able to 106 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:47,720 Speaker 1: grow as a player and as a person. Um, you know, 107 00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:51,279 Speaker 1: I came into this year, um, not not satisfied, you know, 108 00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:53,840 Speaker 1: but what I did personally obviously not satisfied with the 109 00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:56,920 Speaker 1: season that we had, not satisfied with what our defense was. 110 00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:00,560 Speaker 1: And I still feel like I found ways to improve 111 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,880 Speaker 1: myself on what I can when I'm looking at each play, Um, 112 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:05,719 Speaker 1: how I can prove in this defense? You know what 113 00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:08,599 Speaker 1: I can do to you know, help everybody getting better positions. 114 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,240 Speaker 1: And that's the unique thing about this game. You know, 115 00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:12,960 Speaker 1: the older you get, you know, you think you think 116 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:14,520 Speaker 1: you know it all, you think you've seen it all, 117 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,120 Speaker 1: but you know, it's always something. This game is always 118 00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,880 Speaker 1: always evolving. Um, It's like a game's chess. You know, 119 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:22,000 Speaker 1: you just gotta the offense is going to do something 120 00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:23,840 Speaker 1: to make the defense have to make up a whole 121 00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:27,240 Speaker 1: new game plan. So each year, Um that the NFL 122 00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:29,920 Speaker 1: you know, goes on each year that that offense get better, 123 00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:32,320 Speaker 1: players get better, you know, the defense has to find 124 00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:33,960 Speaker 1: a way that you know, the counter of those count 125 00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:37,320 Speaker 1: of those offenses and those offensive coaches. And I think 126 00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:39,520 Speaker 1: starting last year already took a lot of pride and 127 00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:42,200 Speaker 1: and really trying to you know, study study the offense 128 00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:45,520 Speaker 1: compared to you know, what the offense coordinator does. So 129 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:47,120 Speaker 1: when I when I make a player, when we make 130 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:48,520 Speaker 1: a player, we make a stop. It's not like, no, 131 00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:51,360 Speaker 1: we're not just stopping offense. No, we're stopping offense coordinator too. 132 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:53,520 Speaker 1: So it's it's it's when you think about like that, 133 00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:58,000 Speaker 1: it gets really fun. How much more advanced mentally are 134 00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:00,960 Speaker 1: you know at this point pared to the guy who 135 00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:04,960 Speaker 1: was drafted by the Ravens. That's um it's night and day. Honestly, 136 00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:08,880 Speaker 1: um are a lot a lot of my um my 137 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:12,640 Speaker 1: techniques and you know, just just be able to feel, 138 00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:15,800 Speaker 1: feel the ball and see things, but you know, just 139 00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:18,760 Speaker 1: eliminate that that one step, those those two steps that 140 00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:22,200 Speaker 1: back pedal when you take one one, one or two 141 00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:23,960 Speaker 1: more hop that you need to that can put you 142 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,080 Speaker 1: on that break on that interception right there. Man. It's 143 00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:28,240 Speaker 1: it's it's amazing when you can when you really lock 144 00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:30,600 Speaker 1: into like your job and what you have to do. 145 00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:32,680 Speaker 1: And then obviously once you get a feel for the 146 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:34,440 Speaker 1: defense and you're like know what you're doing, you can 147 00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:37,680 Speaker 1: start looking at you know, pre stout recognitions and looking 148 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:39,599 Speaker 1: at formation. Is there's just a lot of little things 149 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:41,919 Speaker 1: that you're gonna lock inside your your game that that 150 00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:44,440 Speaker 1: can put you to that next level. What about instincts? 151 00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:47,800 Speaker 1: So because the book I knew always coming out was 152 00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:51,560 Speaker 1: you were instinctive. But with that being said, you're talking, 153 00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:55,800 Speaker 1: you're talking about not taking a false step here or there. 154 00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:58,279 Speaker 1: How much the instincts play a part in the game. 155 00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:01,039 Speaker 1: I played a lot of part of the game. One. 156 00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:03,839 Speaker 1: You know, you you're talking about, you know, players being 157 00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:07,280 Speaker 1: coached and playing football. You don't wanna you don't want 158 00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:09,560 Speaker 1: to get coached so much where you're not making football players. 159 00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:12,320 Speaker 1: If you know, if you see a running back aligned wide, 160 00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:15,080 Speaker 1: just because of the saying stay, you know inside, you 161 00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:17,640 Speaker 1: know he's about to run out, you want to, you know, 162 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:20,400 Speaker 1: get a little outside and anticipate what's going on. So 163 00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:23,840 Speaker 1: I think when it comes to studying and and just 164 00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:25,720 Speaker 1: you know, kind of know what's going on, it's the 165 00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:28,640 Speaker 1: anticipation part. You know, if you see something, you see it, 166 00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:31,040 Speaker 1: maybe something you study, you know, maybe something that you 167 00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:33,360 Speaker 1: saw a film from from the player that he might do. 168 00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:36,040 Speaker 1: That's when your your study habits come into play. Like 169 00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:38,560 Speaker 1: all right, extensively, I know it third down to two, 170 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:40,640 Speaker 1: it's running back might get out. But now that I 171 00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:43,080 Speaker 1: see that he's a little bit cheated outside the tackle. 172 00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:45,120 Speaker 1: Now I can really get out because I know what's coming. 173 00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:47,280 Speaker 1: So just a little things like that can really, you know, 174 00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:49,560 Speaker 1: put you put you on the next level. Was last 175 00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:53,200 Speaker 1: year your best season in the NFL? You're a multi 176 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:57,840 Speaker 1: time pro bowler, You're a guy who people say throughout 177 00:07:57,840 --> 00:07:59,880 Speaker 1: your career that he's one of the best inside back 178 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,800 Speaker 1: is in the game. With that being said, how do 179 00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:05,400 Speaker 1: you rate last year in terms of individually? I know 180 00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:09,040 Speaker 1: that you didn't have the team success you guys, I 181 00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:10,960 Speaker 1: wouldn't say it was my best year as far as 182 00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:12,920 Speaker 1: status wise. Yeah, you know, I was making a bunch 183 00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:15,880 Speaker 1: of tackles, but that can be good and bad. A 184 00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:17,240 Speaker 1: lot of tackles that mean you might be on the 185 00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:19,320 Speaker 1: field a lot, you know something else. There's a lot 186 00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:20,960 Speaker 1: of things that're going with making a lot of tackles. 187 00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:23,400 Speaker 1: So I don't really know rpe my seasons based on 188 00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:27,240 Speaker 1: tackles I've I've made. Um. I really I really think 189 00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:29,520 Speaker 1: far as last year is my best far as being 190 00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:33,000 Speaker 1: mentally prepared each game, UM, knowing knowing what the offense 191 00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:36,920 Speaker 1: is doing, knowing what to expect, all the certain formations, UM, 192 00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:40,839 Speaker 1: you know, reading round formations, seeing routes, formations, just this 193 00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:42,760 Speaker 1: little stuff like that. It sounds like a lot, but 194 00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:45,280 Speaker 1: when you break it down like each day and you know, 195 00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:47,360 Speaker 1: go about it won't play at the time. It really 196 00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:49,080 Speaker 1: it really slowed the game down for it. So I 197 00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:52,080 Speaker 1: think last year is probably my best like mentally locked in, 198 00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:56,760 Speaker 1: I've been. But what's your next step? What's even another 199 00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:59,720 Speaker 1: level that C. J. Mosley can go to at age thirty? 200 00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:02,560 Speaker 1: Bring everybody with me? Now, that's what That's what it's 201 00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:04,960 Speaker 1: been all about, you know, getting getting the right guys 202 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:07,200 Speaker 1: in the building, no in the locker room, outside the 203 00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:10,079 Speaker 1: locker room, to really believe that we can do something 204 00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:12,840 Speaker 1: special here. And I think that I'm really no, I 205 00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:14,959 Speaker 1: don't think I know, and I believe that that has 206 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:17,800 Speaker 1: what that has what that we've been doing. And and 207 00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:19,280 Speaker 1: the people that we brought in as far as the 208 00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:21,840 Speaker 1: free agency, UM, the rookie class that it came in, 209 00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:24,360 Speaker 1: they've been great, They've been working hard, UM. And I 210 00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:26,920 Speaker 1: feel that if we know just stick to what we 211 00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,000 Speaker 1: what we know, stick to the things that we've been taught, 212 00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:32,360 Speaker 1: really believe in each other, really working and really trust 213 00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:34,920 Speaker 1: that we can be special and there's no there's no 214 00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:36,840 Speaker 1: doubt my mim that that's what we will be. We've 215 00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:41,240 Speaker 1: talked about it before that there's no I don't think 216 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:46,600 Speaker 1: there's any greater UM award than your peers saying that 217 00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:49,319 Speaker 1: you're the guy. Last year you were voted team m 218 00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:52,640 Speaker 1: v P and you said that you wanted to take 219 00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:55,120 Speaker 1: yourself to a different level in terms of leadership. What 220 00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:57,000 Speaker 1: did you do last year? What do you want to 221 00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:00,280 Speaker 1: do this year? Honestly, last year for me it was 222 00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:03,280 Speaker 1: I woulda say more of a proven ground, but you know, 223 00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:05,560 Speaker 1: I've been haven't played in two years, so I was 224 00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:08,480 Speaker 1: I was really focused on, you know, me doing my job, 225 00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:11,440 Speaker 1: me doing the right thing every day, you me coming 226 00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:14,080 Speaker 1: to work and providing the guys with the right mentality, 227 00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:17,080 Speaker 1: right attitude, you know, making have trying to have my 228 00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:20,920 Speaker 1: best game speech for Sunday. Uh so um, there's a 229 00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:22,679 Speaker 1: lot of a lot of means and as you can see, 230 00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:24,680 Speaker 1: I didn't. I'm not a selfish player. I don't play 231 00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:26,280 Speaker 1: that way. But it was a lot of stuff that 232 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:28,720 Speaker 1: I was making sure that I was doing right. So 233 00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:31,600 Speaker 1: now now that I know I'm good, it's now it's 234 00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:33,599 Speaker 1: time when you when you when you talk to the 235 00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:35,960 Speaker 1: d line. When you see something you're yell at out, 236 00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:39,280 Speaker 1: so um, make it. Make a long story short.

You guys 297 00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:18,839 Speaker 1: were dealing with like six seventh eighth receivers, that kind 298 00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:22,600 Speaker 1: of thing, injuries across the board, and you gave yourself 299 00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:26,120 Speaker 1: a chance to win defensibly. Yeah, honestly, I felt that 300 00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:28,480 Speaker 1: was probably our best defensive game that we had as 301 00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:31,200 Speaker 1: far as just guy has been on the same page, 302 00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:33,800 Speaker 1: especially man Quincy. You know, he had his hands on 303 00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:36,880 Speaker 1: I think to football. So we always joke about him 304 00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:38,600 Speaker 1: when he dropped past out there like all you know 305 00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:40,840 Speaker 1: what they looked like you dropped the dropping in practice 306 00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:44,280 Speaker 1: dropping in the game. So but honestly, it kind of 307 00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:46,280 Speaker 1: it kind of clicked at the last minute. I mean, 308 00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:48,480 Speaker 1: we saw the same stuff, but you know, some reason 309 00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:50,440 Speaker 1: things just started to cliff and you started to get 310 00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:53,160 Speaker 1: it at that process. But you know, we really felt comfortable. 311 00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:55,960 Speaker 1: We felt inside ourselves, we felt comfortable with the game plan. 312 00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:58,079 Speaker 1: So that's all. That's that's all. We've been trying to 313 00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:00,319 Speaker 1: do this all these you know, really really honed in 314 00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:01,760 Speaker 1: or what we want to what we want to be, 315 00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:03,720 Speaker 1: how you want to look, and what kind of misset 316 00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:05,640 Speaker 1: we want to bring to the table every day. Quincy 317 00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:08,640 Speaker 1: said this year it's imperative for him not to just 318 00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:10,880 Speaker 1: be looking for the big hit that he's got to 319 00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:13,120 Speaker 1: start coming up with takeaways. Is that something that you 320 00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:15,719 Speaker 1: guys talked about. Yeah, that's that's one thing that we 321 00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:18,280 Speaker 1: that we talked about Lott in this offseason. Um, let's 322 00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:22,360 Speaker 1: communicate more, talking more building our relationship obviously, you know, 323 00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:24,600 Speaker 1: off one year is it can only go so far. 324 00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:27,880 Speaker 1: So just been just be being in the system twice 325 00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:31,040 Speaker 1: UM with him, Uh, we started to know each other tennessees. 326 00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:34,480 Speaker 1: Um we saw the I would say, react, react better 327 00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:39,120 Speaker 1: off each other without without um extra movement. One thing 328 00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:41,760 Speaker 1: I talked to him about was, you know, his his 329 00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:44,600 Speaker 1: film study. You know, just being a young a younger linebacker, 330 00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:47,560 Speaker 1: young player, it's not that you don't want to watch film. 331 00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:49,400 Speaker 1: Sometimes you don't know what to look for, so that 332 00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:52,920 Speaker 1: might you know, that might discourage you. So I told him, like, 333 00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:55,400 Speaker 1: if there anything that you want to want to look 334 00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:58,240 Speaker 1: at together, watch you with you know. Obviously we we 335 00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:00,760 Speaker 1: got it. But you know, honestly, I I've seen him 336 00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:03,120 Speaker 1: be a lot more vocan he was last year. And 337 00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:05,040 Speaker 1: like I said, that's comfortable with him being in the 338 00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:07,520 Speaker 1: system of year. So he's a little more comfortable, UM 339 00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:10,800 Speaker 1: talking to talking to the rooks, taking them on his wing, 340 00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:13,840 Speaker 1: whether it's you know, being out you know, going to 341 00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:16,680 Speaker 1: eat with the young guys or being in the practice field, 342 00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:19,040 Speaker 1: like coaching them up and and telling them what to do. 343 00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:22,080 Speaker 1: So just saying saying that part of his game is 344 00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:24,080 Speaker 1: is a positive because that's all that's gonna do is 345 00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:25,520 Speaker 1: relate to when we get on the field, when we 346 00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:27,680 Speaker 1: get into action. You know, he's going to be more vocal. 347 00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:31,240 Speaker 1: He won't be uncomfortable talking a situation because when it 348 00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:33,680 Speaker 1: when it gets long, ten eleven, twelve drives and I 349 00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:35,960 Speaker 1: still got to make the call and be a little tired. 350 00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:38,200 Speaker 1: So that's why I need my partner in crime, you know, 351 00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:41,000 Speaker 1: help help signal the call or or give a call 352 00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:43,320 Speaker 1: a couple of the players. So it's gonna it's gonna 353 00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:46,160 Speaker 1: be a great and fun year for him, your partner crime. 354 00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:50,320 Speaker 1: Are you surprised that a guy like Quincy Williams is 355 00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:54,040 Speaker 1: on the waiver wire or that's just life in the 356 00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:57,600 Speaker 1: National Football League. Sometimes it just doesn't work somewhere else 357 00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:00,840 Speaker 1: and you find a place where you're gonna be able 358 00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:03,440 Speaker 1: to take advantage of count That's just life in NFL. 359 00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:06,480 Speaker 1: That's that's how things work. One thing that you that 360 00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:09,200 Speaker 1: you can't control is the car that you've been dealt 361 00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:11,080 Speaker 1: once you get once you get into this league. But 362 00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:15,160 Speaker 1: you can't control you know, your work ethic. Um, how 363 00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:17,440 Speaker 1: you how you approach your your day every day, how 364 00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:20,400 Speaker 1: you attack the day. Your mam said, your attitude now 365 00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:22,440 Speaker 1: all that plays a part now no matter what of 366 00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:24,240 Speaker 1: you are, because at the end of the day, if 367 00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:25,880 Speaker 1: you are work in the next man, if you're doing 368 00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:28,280 Speaker 1: things the right way, you know you're gonna find yourself. 369 00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:31,800 Speaker 1: Like they said dressing on Sunday. Michael Carter was in 370 00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:35,160 Speaker 1: this very studio a couple of weeks ago, and he 371 00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:39,640 Speaker 1: said that I watched c. J. Mosley everything he does, 372 00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:42,720 Speaker 1: any matches, George Fan as well, and then uh Tevin 373 00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:46,120 Speaker 1: Coleman as far as that running backs group. But what 374 00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:49,040 Speaker 1: does that mean to you that Carter is a running back? 375 00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:52,280 Speaker 1: He says that he looks up to Mosley, he calls 376 00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:55,000 Speaker 1: you know, g and says, this is the way you're 377 00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:58,600 Speaker 1: supposed to approach the game. Um, well, that's that's one 378 00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:02,320 Speaker 1: thing about the milestone about turning thirty. You you see 379 00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:04,480 Speaker 1: the cycle of life change in front of you. Oyes 380 00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:09,520 Speaker 1: in the NFL. You know, even another another side story, 381 00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:18,880 Speaker 1: Um wild wild goose is is. Um It's Doomerville. Doomerville's nephew. 382 00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:23,439 Speaker 1: I think, nephew, uncle, nephew. I think. So I played 383 00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:26,679 Speaker 1: with his uncle, and yeah, I play. I played with 384 00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:31,160 Speaker 1: him at Baltimore fourteen fourteen fifteen, and now I'm playing 385 00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:33,320 Speaker 1: with his nephews. So you're saying like, yeah, and I 386 00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:34,840 Speaker 1: used to watch you when he was at Alabama. I 387 00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:37,880 Speaker 1: was in middle school. I was like middle school. What 388 00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:41,040 Speaker 1: so that that really every time I hear something like that, 389 00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:44,160 Speaker 1: that put it, put put some perspective, like you know this, 390 00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:45,840 Speaker 1: this is pretty cool. Like a lot of a lot 391 00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:49,359 Speaker 1: of players, no bust their bus and give it the 392 00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:51,639 Speaker 1: all for you know, for a few years. You know, 393 00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:54,520 Speaker 1: unfortunately they get cut short of injuries or something happens. 394 00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:57,800 Speaker 1: And a lot of guys don't see see that all 395 00:17:57,840 --> 00:17:59,640 Speaker 1: the all the time that they spent being a young 396 00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:01,760 Speaker 1: guys and the vets and the old heads and the 397 00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:04,840 Speaker 1: you know, the older coaches that looked out for them, 398 00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:06,840 Speaker 1: that helped them out, that try to do the right 399 00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:09,639 Speaker 1: things for them, um and kind of how that molded 400 00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:11,960 Speaker 1: them into the player that they are now. And you 401 00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:14,080 Speaker 1: know vice verse of me and now I get the 402 00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:17,320 Speaker 1: you know, just you know, sprinkle all that right, back 403 00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:19,600 Speaker 1: out the same lessons that I was taught, the same 404 00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:21,560 Speaker 1: things that I used to hear, the same quotes that 405 00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:24,040 Speaker 1: I used to hear. Now I still find myself quoting 406 00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:28,560 Speaker 1: Terrell Slugs. Yeah. So um, it's it's pretty amazing, honestly, 407 00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:30,159 Speaker 1: And like I said, and it's a blessing that I 408 00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:32,919 Speaker 1: can I can still be here and provide that insight, 409 00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:36,399 Speaker 1: provide you know, that mindset, um, the win mentality, or 410 00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:38,480 Speaker 1: you know, whatever whatever word you want to think of. Like, 411 00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:41,680 Speaker 1: I feel like I can be that person um mentally 412 00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:43,840 Speaker 1: and obviously if it's go on the field, that can 413 00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:46,680 Speaker 1: help bring bring players and team closer because I've I've 414 00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:48,719 Speaker 1: been in a lot of situations. I've seen a lot 415 00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:51,520 Speaker 1: of football, and I've been honored to be around a 416 00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:55,119 Speaker 1: lot of smart coaches and systems. You gotta endure a 417 00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:58,200 Speaker 1: lot physically to play linebacker in the National Football League. 418 00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:00,280 Speaker 1: And we come back to your age and say, Okay, 419 00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:04,119 Speaker 1: he's thirty years old, but is age changing across the 420 00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:07,080 Speaker 1: board professional sports? Meaning you look at a guy like 421 00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:10,480 Speaker 1: Steph Curry. I remember coming out of the draft and 422 00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:12,120 Speaker 1: I still think of him as a young guy. He's 423 00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:14,880 Speaker 1: gonna be thirty four years old. You look at Lebron James, 424 00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:18,359 Speaker 1: he's pushing forty. You're talking about Tom Brady throw A 425 00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:21,520 Speaker 1: plays totally different position than you. But guys playing at forty. 426 00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:26,680 Speaker 1: Does that speak to how well conditioned guys are now? 427 00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:31,160 Speaker 1: But also the mental preparation and just people know what 428 00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:33,600 Speaker 1: to put in their bodies and they also know how 429 00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:36,359 Speaker 1: to study a lot better than maybe that we saw 430 00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:39,480 Speaker 1: on past generations. Yeah, it's it's a collection of all 431 00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:41,679 Speaker 1: of that. And I'll also add that, you know, I 432 00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:43,439 Speaker 1: think it's a lot to do with you know, how 433 00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:46,040 Speaker 1: the game has changed, it evolved as far as you know, 434 00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:49,480 Speaker 1: the way players are being practiced, and you know how 435 00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:51,840 Speaker 1: much time it's been on the field, what we're doing 436 00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:54,560 Speaker 1: with our bodies. Um, it's a lot more, a lot 437 00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:56,560 Speaker 1: more physical, even when I was a rookie, you know, 438 00:19:57,320 --> 00:20:00,440 Speaker 1: especially before I was in the league. Farther they that's 439 00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:03,359 Speaker 1: going on off season programs and all that. So just 440 00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:06,119 Speaker 1: the rule change and just how things have changed and 441 00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:09,040 Speaker 1: evolved in the league and around all sports. Um, it's more, 442 00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:11,600 Speaker 1: it's more player friendly, and it's and it gives player 443 00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:14,320 Speaker 1: a longer time to play the league, give that player 444 00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:17,479 Speaker 1: that longevity. So UM, I will definitely agree that it's collected. 445 00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:19,639 Speaker 1: It's a collection of all those things. Who are guys, 446 00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:23,639 Speaker 1: do you like watching just far as in general or yeah, 447 00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:27,400 Speaker 1: as far as for as the NFL, maybe you appreciate 448 00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:30,439 Speaker 1: the linebacker position or you mentioned Suckers before he was 449 00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:34,520 Speaker 1: a former teammate, and maybe the funder who is retired now. 450 00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:39,760 Speaker 1: I like watching Edwards for for the Bills, um who 451 00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:44,880 Speaker 1: else it's another linebacker Davis with the Buccaneers. I try 452 00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:47,280 Speaker 1: to also try to watch linebackers that are kind of 453 00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:49,440 Speaker 1: in our system because then I can talk they're playing 454 00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:51,800 Speaker 1: somebody that that we're playing. I can kind of see 455 00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:54,560 Speaker 1: what what they what they're seeing or seeing what kind 456 00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:57,160 Speaker 1: of move with techniques that they're they're doing to try 457 00:20:57,200 --> 00:20:59,840 Speaker 1: to put me in the better position. So that's another 458 00:20:59,880 --> 00:21:02,600 Speaker 1: thing that you know that I that I started last year. 459 00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:05,800 Speaker 1: I never really watched film on other linebacker as far 460 00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:07,600 Speaker 1: as to study like what are they saying? What are 461 00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:10,280 Speaker 1: they doing? If I was seeing them, it was just 462 00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:12,960 Speaker 1: because I was watching film on the offense. But um, 463 00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:15,719 Speaker 1: like I said, it's always it's always one little thing 464 00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:17,600 Speaker 1: where you can find to try to get better. So 465 00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:20,880 Speaker 1: but but yeah, that's that was That was actually really 466 00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:24,639 Speaker 1: cool because I definitely stole some tackles awesome other linebacker's reads. 467 00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:28,520 Speaker 1: So yeah, but that was pretty awesome. Okay, so you 468 00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:32,119 Speaker 1: mentioned it before you talked about Hey, I know everybody's 469 00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:36,680 Speaker 1: saying we got improved talent, but I know we actually 470 00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:40,040 Speaker 1: have to go out there and make it happen. Is 471 00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:42,480 Speaker 1: that something that you have to tell the guys in 472 00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:45,680 Speaker 1: the locker room. I don't think there's people are going 473 00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:48,160 Speaker 1: around the facility celebrating him right now, but with that 474 00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:51,640 Speaker 1: being said, they are hearing that you guys have found 475 00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:55,800 Speaker 1: a good off season. I don't think so. Um, you know, 476 00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:57,919 Speaker 1: I think we do a good job of, you know, 477 00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:00,240 Speaker 1: not real list to the outside noise because at the 478 00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:02,280 Speaker 1: end of the day, we haven't won anything, we haven't 479 00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:06,280 Speaker 1: done anything. Um, we definitely gotten better on paper, but 480 00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:08,239 Speaker 1: that's not gonna be anything until we know put our 481 00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:10,159 Speaker 1: paths on and really get to work and see what 482 00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:12,200 Speaker 1: we can do when when the when a lot of 483 00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:14,960 Speaker 1: bullets get flying. So, um, you know you hear the 484 00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:16,960 Speaker 1: you hear a good draft every year you're here, and 485 00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:19,160 Speaker 1: it's our season every year no matter where you are. 486 00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:21,960 Speaker 1: Everybody wants to win. We want to win. They want 487 00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:24,440 Speaker 1: to win. We all want to win. But you know, 488 00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:27,439 Speaker 1: we're gonna come down to those key moments this season 489 00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:29,280 Speaker 1: and we never know. We're not gonna know when that's 490 00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:31,879 Speaker 1: gonna happen, but we but we have to be ready 491 00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:33,760 Speaker 1: for it. And that's you know, that's why we practice 492 00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:36,159 Speaker 1: that while we're prepared for for situations so we can 493 00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:38,280 Speaker 1: be ready for it. What puts you over the top 494 00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:42,120 Speaker 1: in key moments? What separates the teams that are gonna 495 00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:45,480 Speaker 1: win double digit games from the teams that are struggling 496 00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:47,880 Speaker 1: to get there? Ye, well, one is is a turnover Martin. 497 00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:49,320 Speaker 1: That's the first thing you always here. You know who 498 00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:52,600 Speaker 1: could win a turnover bottom battle? And I think to 499 00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:56,359 Speaker 1: for for us as a team, it's just being the 500 00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:58,680 Speaker 1: best is we can be that situational football, whether it's 501 00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:02,760 Speaker 1: two minute, four minute um, you know, starting drive, backed up, 502 00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:05,120 Speaker 1: you know all the little things that plays the part 503 00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:08,280 Speaker 1: and you know, successfully winning the game. And I think 504 00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:11,000 Speaker 1: if we can know we're gonna win most of our 505 00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:13,880 Speaker 1: games is when when we know play a great situation 506 00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:17,080 Speaker 1: football and control to turnover margin. What do you like 507 00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:20,239 Speaker 1: most in terms of what you're seeing out here on 508 00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:24,040 Speaker 1: the practice field, we're in voluntary activities right now. This 509 00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:28,640 Speaker 1: is phase three, but you're ending the off season by 510 00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:31,720 Speaker 1: all accounts, I mean, for all purposes next week with 511 00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:35,440 Speaker 1: the veteran minicamp. UM. The thing I like the most 512 00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:38,280 Speaker 1: that I've that I've been saying is be a little 513 00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:41,560 Speaker 1: biased just just our defense. You know, the speed that 514 00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:45,159 Speaker 1: we have. Obviously we're young, but our secondary is is 515 00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:49,000 Speaker 1: just it's really just just flying to the ball. UM. 516 00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:51,360 Speaker 1: Seeing a lot of turnoff, a lot of interceptions UM. 517 00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:54,200 Speaker 1: In these ot A practices, Like I said, it's most 518 00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:56,800 Speaker 1: have been like seven on seven. So there's only so 519 00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:59,320 Speaker 1: much that we can do. But but we haven't seen 520 00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:01,639 Speaker 1: that a lot. Know, you can see those playmakers and 521 00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:04,639 Speaker 1: you can't you can't tell a playmaker what to do. 522 00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:06,240 Speaker 1: They're gonna find a way to find the ball. And 523 00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:08,720 Speaker 1: that's that's all you need, is that one chance. UM. 524 00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:11,199 Speaker 1: So we can get a lot more interception, a lot 525 00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:13,720 Speaker 1: more FuMB recovers on defense, you know, puts back in 526 00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:15,600 Speaker 1: the offense in great position to score. Then we can 527 00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:17,080 Speaker 1: know we're really gonna have a chance to do some 528 00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:19,840 Speaker 1: great things. So but that's that's one of the one 529 00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:21,760 Speaker 1: of the main things that you can definitely notice if 530 00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:24,199 Speaker 1: you go out there that that secondary is really flying around, 531 00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:27,120 Speaker 1: and um, a mod, a mod is doing really good. 532 00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:30,359 Speaker 1: You're smiling, you're saying the mod is doing really good. 533 00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:35,760 Speaker 1: So break it down for us. Why are you so encouraged? 534 00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:37,639 Speaker 1: I mean, it was a number four overall pick in 535 00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:40,520 Speaker 1: the draft. So I was laughing because his name is 536 00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:44,280 Speaker 1: the mob. Were not call them solves once you make 537 00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:46,239 Speaker 1: a play. Maybe in the preseason we might, we might 538 00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:49,800 Speaker 1: get them sauce back sauce sauces for the fans. But 539 00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:52,680 Speaker 1: what do you like about him on the Breaka field 540 00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:57,000 Speaker 1: right now? Just so just pure raw talent um. You know, 541 00:24:57,040 --> 00:24:59,360 Speaker 1: obviously he's getting this coaching down and he learned the techniques, 542 00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:01,720 Speaker 1: but you can it's sometimes when you see it, you 543 00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:04,359 Speaker 1: see it. And and today was one of other days. 544 00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:06,520 Speaker 1: It was like, all right, we we're good. We're in 545 00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:09,040 Speaker 1: good hands. So he was he was making plays. They 546 00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:10,639 Speaker 1: was throwing the ball to him, but he was. He 547 00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:12,879 Speaker 1: was making plays what you're supposed to do. But but 548 00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:15,000 Speaker 1: like I said, man, it's it's it's just exciting, you know, 549 00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:16,639 Speaker 1: Like I said, when you when you get in a 550 00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:19,040 Speaker 1: position you know that I'm in Now you got a 551 00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:22,760 Speaker 1: chance to to to really you know, turn a turn 552 00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:26,080 Speaker 1: the organization that hasn't won in a while all from 553 00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:30,560 Speaker 1: complete one naightie from not winning to really being no contenders. 554 00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:33,119 Speaker 1: And that's that's really like that's happened to be our 555 00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:36,000 Speaker 1: mindset or nothing's going to change. So that's a second 556 00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:37,439 Speaker 1: part about it. Now we've got a chance to do 557 00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:40,800 Speaker 1: something special that's going to change the lives of kids, 558 00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:44,040 Speaker 1: families and the NFL for the next two years if 559 00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:46,160 Speaker 1: you do it right.

My gardener and dj Read 575 00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:24,280 Speaker 1: totally different body types, but they bring such a competitive 576 00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:29,320 Speaker 1: juice out there. Dj Read is the guy he'll fight 577 00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:32,560 Speaker 1: anybody any day. Yeah, Mom, you would think he's the 578 00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:34,440 Speaker 1: same height as Um as a mode the way doing 579 00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:36,800 Speaker 1: the way he played, in the way he presses. But um, 580 00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:39,119 Speaker 1: he's a guy that doesn't finish until the whistle was blown. 581 00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:41,760 Speaker 1: And he's a technician U and you love to see that. 582 00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:43,800 Speaker 1: You know what, no matter what time it is, that 583 00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:47,120 Speaker 1: the day he's either working on some moves, get some treatment, um, 584 00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:49,720 Speaker 1: doing a little extra work. He's doing something on the side, 585 00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:51,159 Speaker 1: and you know that's one of the thing that that 586 00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:52,919 Speaker 1: encouraged you to try to get back. All right, if 587 00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:55,239 Speaker 1: he can do something on the off day or the 588 00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:57,040 Speaker 1: time where we got a little off time, you know, 589 00:26:57,080 --> 00:26:59,280 Speaker 1: maybe I can do something too. So that's no just 590 00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:02,280 Speaker 1: if you've been a leader, or you know you consider 591 00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:04,680 Speaker 1: a leader, it's not always about what you say. It's 592 00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:07,640 Speaker 1: not all it's always about um. You know, the things 593 00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:10,080 Speaker 1: that that you're trying to do. But sometimes it's what 594 00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:12,359 Speaker 1: you do not behind closed doors, but you know, you 595 00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:14,480 Speaker 1: can be in the building and you know, people not 596 00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:16,879 Speaker 1: know that you're still working and they come across that 597 00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:18,600 Speaker 1: and see that when they're about here they leave out 598 00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:20,440 Speaker 1: the Building's like, you know what I mean, I think 599 00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:21,960 Speaker 1: I should do a little bit worth too, or that 600 00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:23,960 Speaker 1: make a player want to come to you and ask like, hey, 601 00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:26,320 Speaker 1: when you're doing this, what do you see here? Or 602 00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:28,120 Speaker 1: when you're working on this, you know, while you're working 603 00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:30,119 Speaker 1: on the here, So you know, just little things like 604 00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:32,800 Speaker 1: that that are key that get guys in the right position, 605 00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:35,720 Speaker 1: right mindset and connected. What was free and seek cool 606 00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:39,399 Speaker 1: for you from the perspective is you've been in the 607 00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:42,520 Speaker 1: National Football League for a number of years, You've played 608 00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:45,439 Speaker 1: in three postseason games, and then you see Joe Douglas 609 00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:48,720 Speaker 1: go to work. He gets a guy like Jordan's Whitehead 610 00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:52,240 Speaker 1: who has the championship ring. He's used to playing in 611 00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:55,040 Speaker 1: big games with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. You mentioned DJ 612 00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:57,760 Speaker 1: Reid before, He's got some playoff experience on the other 613 00:27:57,760 --> 00:27:59,879 Speaker 1: side of the ball. You can talk about c J's 614 00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:03,280 Speaker 1: just played in the Super Bowl. Lincoln Thomlinson, who was 615 00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:06,760 Speaker 1: part of the build himself in San Francisco. So these 616 00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:11,080 Speaker 1: guys young veterans, but also guys have won before, right 617 00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:13,720 Speaker 1: the key things that they've won before, so they've seen 618 00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:15,960 Speaker 1: it done right. They have been in the system that've 619 00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:18,240 Speaker 1: done the right, and they've been around players that have 620 00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:20,479 Speaker 1: done the right. So if they don't see things being 621 00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:22,240 Speaker 1: done right, it's more easy if for doing to point 622 00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:25,159 Speaker 1: it out compared to you know, players that have that 623 00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:27,600 Speaker 1: have you know, come from organizations where things have been 624 00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:30,399 Speaker 1: a little more lenient or some things haven't been or 625 00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:33,600 Speaker 1: things have been ran up tight um, you know, depending 626 00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:36,760 Speaker 1: on coaches, things like that. But at the end of 627 00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:38,840 Speaker 1: the day, you know, it's when you've been around winning, 628 00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:41,520 Speaker 1: you know how to win, your coach to win, and 629 00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:43,800 Speaker 1: you do the right things to win. When you see 630 00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:45,800 Speaker 1: things that to make you lose, it's easier to find 631 00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:47,800 Speaker 1: point out. So I think that was a great thing 632 00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:50,000 Speaker 1: that we did with the free agent that we sawn 633 00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:52,280 Speaker 1: a lot of guys that that came here to win. 634 00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:54,800 Speaker 1: So that's that's the most important. They came here to win, 635 00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:57,240 Speaker 1: and they want to win, and they want to win here, 636 00:28:57,400 --> 00:28:58,800 Speaker 1: and that's you know, that's all you can ask for 637 00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:00,680 Speaker 1: when you when you see it with your What do 638 00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:03,160 Speaker 1: you think about the numbers up front in front of you? Uh, 639 00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:07,560 Speaker 1: if Carl Lawson is back, we're anticipating him to make 640 00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:09,320 Speaker 1: his appearance back on the field. Here at the start 641 00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:11,360 Speaker 1: of training camp. You know he's busting his butt to 642 00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:14,080 Speaker 1: get back. Uh. He was so dynamic during training camp 643 00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:18,400 Speaker 1: last year. You obviously add Jermaine Johnson trade up in 644 00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:20,200 Speaker 1: the first round to get him. Get a guy like 645 00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:24,480 Speaker 1: Michael Clemens. Solomon Thomas is a former UH first round pick, 646 00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:27,240 Speaker 1: a top five pick who's familiar with the system. I 647 00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:31,200 Speaker 1: know he brings that reteran presence as well. Jacob Martin 648 00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:35,280 Speaker 1: bringing some speed and explosion off the edge. Well, what 649 00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:38,000 Speaker 1: do you think about what's going to be in front 650 00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:40,720 Speaker 1: of you in two thousand twenty two. Well, our defense, 651 00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:43,600 Speaker 1: a line is all about attack. So if nothing else, 652 00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:46,320 Speaker 1: they're gonna attack the line of scrammers. So I never 653 00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:49,200 Speaker 1: have to worry about that part. Um one thing I've 654 00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:52,720 Speaker 1: I've focused on another part of you know, making my 655 00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:55,560 Speaker 1: game better and getting better in his defense, if Ben 656 00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:57,800 Speaker 1: is looking at how you know the guys in front 657 00:29:57,800 --> 00:29:59,520 Speaker 1: of me get off the line of scrimmage on type 658 00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:02,080 Speaker 1: on different to run the play actual passes, because we're 659 00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:04,720 Speaker 1: gonna be in situation as a linebacker where you know, 660 00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:07,920 Speaker 1: because our offense our first first to get downhill, we're 661 00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:09,640 Speaker 1: gonna be in positions where we can get caught by 662 00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:12,960 Speaker 1: offensive line. So just knowing that is step one to 663 00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:16,160 Speaker 1: put yourself in a better position as a linebacker. So 664 00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:19,520 Speaker 1: for me, Um, it's me eliminating key reads. When I 665 00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:21,680 Speaker 1: know I have a pass run conflict. If I know 666 00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:23,479 Speaker 1: I'm not getting a certain paths, so I know I'm 667 00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:25,280 Speaker 1: not getting a certain look, I can be a little 668 00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:27,720 Speaker 1: more fast in my gap or slowing my gap depending 669 00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:29,960 Speaker 1: on the call. So I think, you know, that's just 670 00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:32,480 Speaker 1: gonna be like those next steps and evolving in his 671 00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:36,800 Speaker 1: defense and being able to playoff playoff our teammates. But um, 672 00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:38,800 Speaker 1: when it comes to you know the defensive line and 673 00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:40,640 Speaker 1: you know our passed rushers off the edge, and you 674 00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:42,360 Speaker 1: know our big guys up the middle that can still 675 00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:44,840 Speaker 1: you know, we can still pressure the quarterback. Um, it's 676 00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:47,520 Speaker 1: really just gonna be about you know, letting them playing 677 00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:50,440 Speaker 1: and getting the third down, and yeah, on paper is 678 00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:53,600 Speaker 1: gonna be really hard and in third down situations to 679 00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:56,640 Speaker 1: get in the third down third along getting in those 680 00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:59,680 Speaker 1: situations where we can really let let them go and 681 00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:02,200 Speaker 1: you have great coverage in the back end because obviously 682 00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:04,680 Speaker 1: you know we're great coverage comes more sacks. So you know, 683 00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:06,920 Speaker 1: we cover the guys in the back end, cover the 684 00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:09,280 Speaker 1: Enemedia routs, and you know, let the guys that we 685 00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:12,080 Speaker 1: that we paid to get sex get sex. What's Robert 686 00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:15,640 Speaker 1: Salo like with you specifically, because not only was the 687 00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:18,800 Speaker 1: defensive coordinator before, it's like coach, it's a long time 688 00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:22,800 Speaker 1: linebackers coach. We have we have a really good relationship. No, 689 00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:26,240 Speaker 1: we I guess. I guess I do things good enough 690 00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:28,200 Speaker 1: where he don't. He's not coaching me as much. But 691 00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:30,040 Speaker 1: if you know, if you see something, if you see 692 00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:33,120 Speaker 1: a certain drop of a certain mechanic that I can 693 00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:34,920 Speaker 1: do a little better now, he'll come to me and 694 00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:38,400 Speaker 1: tell me. But honestly, besides that, it's it's pretty, it's pretty. 695 00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:40,440 Speaker 1: Could you know, you know, check on the family acts. 696 00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:43,000 Speaker 1: He was good. Everybody good. There has a little football 697 00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:45,360 Speaker 1: talk in there. He might crack a joke, but you know, 698 00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:47,959 Speaker 1: he usually you know, he's a head coach now, so 699 00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:50,520 Speaker 1: he has to talk to everybody a little bit more. Yeah, 700 00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:52,840 Speaker 1: you know, talks to everybody. Do you like being in 701 00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:55,640 Speaker 1: his meeting room? Everybody talks about his presence that you 702 00:31:55,640 --> 00:32:00,960 Speaker 1: could feel him, Yeah, especially when he's talking. Yeah, well yeah, 703 00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:02,800 Speaker 1: you know, he's one of those guys like when you 704 00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:06,600 Speaker 1: talk to you listen, so um, you know player, coach, um, great, 705 00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:09,920 Speaker 1: he respectful, respects you, respect your time. But you know 706 00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:12,000 Speaker 1: he only asks a few things. You know, all guys, 707 00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:14,320 Speaker 1: no break. And it's it's that simple. And if you 708 00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:16,040 Speaker 1: you know, if you believe in him, you know he'll 709 00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:18,560 Speaker 1: believe in you. You protect the team, you know he'll 710 00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:20,560 Speaker 1: protect you. You know, if you do the right thing, 711 00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:22,080 Speaker 1: you know he's gonna do the right thing about you. 712 00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:24,440 Speaker 1: And that's that's really all you can ask. How much 713 00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:26,840 Speaker 1: you appreciate your defensive coording. And jeff Aul Breck he's 714 00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:29,640 Speaker 1: a guy who played that seasons in the National Football League. 715 00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:33,000 Speaker 1: He lives by that model to all guests. No break. 716 00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:36,320 Speaker 1: He's out there all over play. Yeah. I remember actually 717 00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:38,320 Speaker 1: watching him when I was when I was a little younger, 718 00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:41,880 Speaker 1: so I definitely remember his name, the mohawk. I think 719 00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:43,840 Speaker 1: he had a nick pad back in the day. But 720 00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:45,960 Speaker 1: you know, he's just one of those that's just the 721 00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:48,320 Speaker 1: style of the NFL. It was back then, you know, 722 00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:51,920 Speaker 1: the big the big burly guys just getting downhill, you know, 723 00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:54,920 Speaker 1: trying to knock each other faces off. But you see 724 00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:57,280 Speaker 1: how you know, the game has evolved, and you really 725 00:32:57,280 --> 00:32:59,880 Speaker 1: see his passion for the game when he's coaching, when 726 00:32:59,880 --> 00:33:01,360 Speaker 1: he is, you know, trying to put us in the 727 00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:04,560 Speaker 1: right position. And um, he's he's been in the situation 728 00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:07,040 Speaker 1: to you know, to win, to win the Super Bowl. Uh, 729 00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:09,240 Speaker 1: you know some people might forget about that. So that's 730 00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:11,640 Speaker 1: that's exciting for me because I know the system works. 731 00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:13,320 Speaker 1: You know, if you if you do the right things, 732 00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:16,200 Speaker 1: if you if you make the right play. So you know, 733 00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:19,360 Speaker 1: just we you know with Brick, with coach Sala, with 734 00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:22,480 Speaker 1: coach Rudy, Linebacker coach, you know, just just it's it's 735 00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:26,240 Speaker 1: a whole family. Um um recommended during like all the guys, 736 00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:28,880 Speaker 1: they all connected. That's and that's one thing that that 737 00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:32,080 Speaker 1: a lot of players, and I would to say fans 738 00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:33,800 Speaker 1: that they don't really know because you're not in the building. 739 00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:36,160 Speaker 1: But a lot of players take that for granted. Um 740 00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:39,400 Speaker 1: is the coaches, the coaches and you know their connection. 741 00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:41,680 Speaker 1: You know how much time they spent together and other 742 00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:43,880 Speaker 1: players that they've been So it's a lot of history 743 00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:45,920 Speaker 1: with you know, a lot of our coaches that other places, 744 00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:48,160 Speaker 1: you know, in the past ten years. What I mean, 745 00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:53,040 Speaker 1: even our team chapel Um coached against. He was coaching 746 00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:55,600 Speaker 1: against coach Rudy's team in high school. Like I found 747 00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:57,840 Speaker 1: that out last week. So I mean, just you know, 748 00:33:57,840 --> 00:33:59,920 Speaker 1: it's it's crazy, like what sports can do. You know, 749 00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:02,160 Speaker 1: far ast connection and you know who it brings you 750 00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:04,520 Speaker 1: to and who he brings it back around too. So 751 00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:07,080 Speaker 1: I think just um, it's a special thing that you 752 00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:09,719 Speaker 1: know that obviously that we're evolving as a team, but 753 00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:13,960 Speaker 1: our coaches are evolving as well. Yeah, Rudenberg and Aaron 754 00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:16,839 Speaker 1: Whitecott in the defensive line coach, we're together at New 755 00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:20,400 Speaker 1: Mexico State long before they started the round careers. I 756 00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:23,120 Speaker 1: want to get final thoughts here on your second year 757 00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:28,040 Speaker 1: quarterback Zach Wilson. Everybody's talked about him coming to camp 758 00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:31,439 Speaker 1: a little bit more muscle, lie, he's about two hundred 759 00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:36,200 Speaker 1: one pounds, things like that. What's his next step? Uh, 760 00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:40,200 Speaker 1: I would say, especially for quarterbacks is always that that 761 00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:42,840 Speaker 1: year one of year to jump with uh, you know, 762 00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:45,440 Speaker 1: with the recognition, um, you know, what what is he 763 00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:47,440 Speaker 1: reading was he looking at? I mean, I was. I 764 00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:49,160 Speaker 1: can't tell you because I'm not in the room, but 765 00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:52,040 Speaker 1: I think that would be the next step for him. 766 00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:53,960 Speaker 1: You know, he's gonna take care of his body. You know, 767 00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:55,960 Speaker 1: he's gonna he's gonna he got the people in the 768 00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:57,799 Speaker 1: right people in this corner that's gonna tell him do 769 00:34:57,840 --> 00:34:59,680 Speaker 1: the right things. And he's gonna do the right things. 770 00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:01,839 Speaker 1: But you know, like I said, when when we get 771 00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:03,640 Speaker 1: on the field, it's all it gonna always going to 772 00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:06,080 Speaker 1: be about, you know, his his recognition and you know, 773 00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:08,440 Speaker 1: being able to control the football and you know, if 774 00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:10,600 Speaker 1: you can if you can do that, and like I said, 775 00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:12,640 Speaker 1: we can show the turnover margin, you know we're gonna 776 00:35:12,680 --> 00:35:16,560 Speaker 1: be in nine out of ten games. He's always been 777 00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:19,919 Speaker 1: a confident guy. But did see something different than the 778 00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:23,200 Speaker 1: kid who come here, came here last spring after being 779 00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:25,440 Speaker 1: drafted with so much on the shoulders. Yeah, when you're 780 00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:28,000 Speaker 1: when you're a rookie and obviously you know the number 781 00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:31,120 Speaker 1: one guy, the quarterback, you know this, that and the other, 782 00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:34,920 Speaker 1: it's it's pressure all the time. And on top of that, 783 00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:37,440 Speaker 1: you learn a new system and the new league with 784 00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:40,520 Speaker 1: new players and all these other things. So just some 785 00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:42,960 Speaker 1: year one of year two, just that he's gonna be 786 00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:47,080 Speaker 1: less jittery about you know, the playbook part, like he 787 00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:49,480 Speaker 1: knows the playbook, he knows his players, like he knows 788 00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:51,719 Speaker 1: the system. So that part, I feel like he can 789 00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:54,280 Speaker 1: I want to say, relaxed, but it can be more confident. 790 00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:56,879 Speaker 1: And and it's not like he's just I gotta learn 791 00:35:56,880 --> 00:35:59,400 Speaker 1: this new play today. I got learned this new play tomorrow. 792 00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:01,719 Speaker 1: We gotta a new thing coming in next week. Like 793 00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:04,040 Speaker 1: he's seen he's seen some of these things already. He's 794 00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:06,719 Speaker 1: seen these formations. You know. You know what we're doing 795 00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:09,080 Speaker 1: on defense is we're not taking it easy on We're 796 00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:11,520 Speaker 1: really trying to make him make the right reads, you know, 797 00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:14,120 Speaker 1: put put hands in his face, all type of things, 798 00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:16,759 Speaker 1: you know, like we say, try to make him uncomfortable 799 00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:20,040 Speaker 1: being comfortable. So um, I think you know you're two around. 800 00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:22,680 Speaker 1: You're gonna see, you know, Zach Wilson dumber two making 801 00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:24,720 Speaker 1: a lot of players on his feet, being in the pocket, 802 00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:27,399 Speaker 1: making plays, um and taking care of the football. Let's 803 00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:29,920 Speaker 1: end here, let's go to Alabama. How much would uh 804 00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:33,040 Speaker 1: C J. Mosley coming out of high school have made 805 00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:39,440 Speaker 1: if and I ol, what's going back then like it 806 00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:41,920 Speaker 1: is now? Well, I'm still I still have a defensive player, 807 00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:43,520 Speaker 1: so it would have been nice, but it would have 808 00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:47,880 Speaker 1: been no quarterback. Hey, j and Um and Graham Mcar 809 00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:50,239 Speaker 1: would have took all that. So we had some some 810 00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:53,640 Speaker 1: all stars on offense. You gotta think about Julio, you 811 00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:57,759 Speaker 1: gotta think about Ingraham Trent. Uh, I can, I can, 812 00:36:58,040 --> 00:37:01,479 Speaker 1: I can keep going and you got the Mari. Yeah 813 00:37:02,080 --> 00:37:04,360 Speaker 1: we have crumps. Compared to those, you still would have 814 00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:07,959 Speaker 1: made a pretty penny. And then uh a more serious note, 815 00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:10,480 Speaker 1: can you talk about giving back how much the community 816 00:37:10,520 --> 00:37:13,160 Speaker 1: means to you, because you're gonna go back here after 817 00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:17,520 Speaker 1: veter Mini Camp concludes to do your annual camp.
