1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,199 Speaker 1: Good complimentary run game that benefits from that passing attack. 2 00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:05,880 Speaker 1: And then you give credit to Zach Taylor, like he's 3 00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:08,479 Speaker 1: built that offense up for a long time now where 4 00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:11,600 Speaker 1: they have I mean you look everywhere they can create 5 00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:15,120 Speaker 1: problems for a defense. So it's it's certainly one where 6 00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:17,160 Speaker 1: you see there's guys at the top of their game 7 00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:18,160 Speaker 1: in a lot of different positions. 8 00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:21,000 Speaker 2: Going back to Demarcus's level of detail, you hear that, like, 9 00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:23,400 Speaker 2: the guy's detail oriented. Can you give us, you know, 10 00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:26,640 Speaker 2: a non Bagel specific example of like, Okay, this is 11 00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:29,320 Speaker 2: how fine we're calling through all this stuff. 12 00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:32,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it'll be like, hey, we're talking about 13 00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:34,680 Speaker 1: maybe a pressure we could run or a coverage that 14 00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:37,919 Speaker 1: compliments it. And he'll go back and say, well, there 15 00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:40,440 Speaker 1: was one from October twenty ninth, from twenty twenty two, 16 00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:44,120 Speaker 1: this one from twenty twenty three. Like his level of 17 00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:47,760 Speaker 1: studying the game and being able to reference so much 18 00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:50,360 Speaker 1: and put it together like this is a guy that 19 00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:52,400 Speaker 1: I mean, he's smart. If you can coach any position 20 00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:54,840 Speaker 1: on the team, it feels like, and just knows those 21 00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:58,120 Speaker 1: levels from the corner position, Okay, what the receiver's doing, 22 00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:03,120 Speaker 1: the tight ends the line the quarterback, Like the amount 23 00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:05,479 Speaker 1: of recall that he has for certain things he studies, 24 00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:08,120 Speaker 1: and he studies an incredible amount like this is this 25 00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:10,600 Speaker 1: is rare around this league that the guy has that 26 00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:14,959 Speaker 1: level of detail in his approach and shares that knowledge 27 00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:16,839 Speaker 1: with the rest of the group and collaborates with the group. 28 00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:20,400 Speaker 1: Yet I appreciate it. Just what a game for us 29 00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:22,600 Speaker 1: to have that guy here as a guy we can 30 00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:26,840 Speaker 1: rely on here. Any thoughts on Baltimore, It's gonna be 31 00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:30,000 Speaker 1: a fun game. I'm excited for Zach Over. The defensive 32 00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:32,360 Speaker 1: coordinator coached him when he was a player there and 33 00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:34,000 Speaker 1: then got to work with him as a coach, like 34 00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:35,600 Speaker 1: he's the Really I'm excited for that. 35 00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:40,600 Speaker 3: You mentioned for the system, how much, too, is the 36 00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:47,480 Speaker 3: system for the player, you know, finding a role for 37 00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:50,400 Speaker 3: someone and getting the best of him, putting him in 38 00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:53,320 Speaker 3: a position to succeed and not a position where. 39 00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:59,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think this system attracts selfless, physical, hard nosed 40 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,400 Speaker 1: players that want to set the edge, that want to 41 00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:05,040 Speaker 1: do the little things that you know, can get after 42 00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:07,560 Speaker 1: the passer when it's time, but then do everything else 43 00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:10,160 Speaker 1: with that. So I think, like you said, like sometimes 44 00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:12,760 Speaker 1: a system can benefit the player just like the player 45 00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 1: benefits the system. And I think having a guy like 46 00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:18,320 Speaker 1: that that you know, down after down after down can 47 00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:22,040 Speaker 1: give you that consistent edge and play with his hands 48 00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:25,239 Speaker 1: and convert on play action like this is a This 49 00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:27,200 Speaker 1: is an all around good player for us that in 50 00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:30,600 Speaker 1: any situation you're happy to have out there and a huge. 51 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:31,000 Speaker 4: Game for us. 52 00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:34,800 Speaker 5: How rare is it to find guys that are willing 53 00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:36,120 Speaker 5: to do the things you're talking about and use that 54 00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:39,840 Speaker 5: word selfless? You know, this has been a system for 55 00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:42,520 Speaker 5: a long time that has not necessarily produced a ton 56 00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,519 Speaker 5: of big sack number guys for sure. Is it hard 57 00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:47,720 Speaker 5: to find those types of people to play the position? 58 00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:50,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, And I think you see, like what it has 59 00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:54,280 Speaker 1: produced is winning football and like winning third down defense, 60 00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:58,120 Speaker 1: which those edge rushers. Maybe it's not a high sack total, 61 00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:01,240 Speaker 1: but it's high quarterback hits. It's higher. It forces that 62 00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:04,760 Speaker 1: quarterback to go through his first progression and not get 63 00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:06,360 Speaker 1: to the second or third. He's got to get rid 64 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 1: of that ball. So like I think when you look 65 00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:10,680 Speaker 1: at guys like high Tower, you look at guys that 66 00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:13,200 Speaker 1: have been here and being able to rush on third down, 67 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:16,880 Speaker 1: like even though those numbers may not be twenty sacks 68 00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:19,480 Speaker 1: a year. What those guys have is they have impact 69 00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:22,000 Speaker 1: plays and you don't know which guy's coming, and I 70 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,160 Speaker 1: think that goes to the selfless nature of it. It's 71 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,600 Speaker 1: like five guys could be up there shooting, six guys 72 00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:28,360 Speaker 1: could be up there. You don't know which one's going 73 00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:30,359 Speaker 1: to get home, and I think that wealth gets spread 74 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,920 Speaker 1: around and it's something that quarterbacks have to worry about 75 00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:33,280 Speaker 1: for sure. 76 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:36,000 Speaker 6: Coach, I'm sure if you already asked this, but oshaneze Minez, 77 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:38,440 Speaker 6: I was kind of surprised seeing how little he played 78 00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:40,520 Speaker 6: last year with the Giants, considering the tape looked good. 79 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:43,240 Speaker 6: For sure, Yeah, made most of his opportunities. So is 80 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:45,400 Speaker 6: there any difference this year because it seems like he's going. 81 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:47,800 Speaker 1: To be a real important player for Yeah, I would say, like, 82 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:50,240 Speaker 1: maybe you were surprised. I was not surprised. This is 83 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:52,680 Speaker 1: a guy that is a really good football player. The 84 00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:54,360 Speaker 1: one thing he did is he changed his body and 85 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:57,600 Speaker 1: he really just worked on like his movement skills and 86 00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:00,680 Speaker 1: his explosion coming out of his stance. He really worked 87 00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,000 Speaker 1: at it, and I think, like you know, however things 88 00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,960 Speaker 1: ended for him in New York. He dedicated himself in 89 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:07,720 Speaker 1: the offseason that he was going to get into a 90 00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:09,440 Speaker 1: camp and he's going to make somebody's team, And that's 91 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:11,600 Speaker 1: exactly what he did. It's a credit to the work 92 00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:13,760 Speaker 1: that he put in. He's a special guy. Like I 93 00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:15,200 Speaker 1: don't know if you guys have been able to interview 94 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:18,359 Speaker 1: him spend time around him, but he's as humble and 95 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:21,440 Speaker 1: as selfless as they come. And like you're so guys 96 00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 1: like that, you're so happy for their success to get 97 00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:25,720 Speaker 1: on this roster and then let's see how far we 98 00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:27,840 Speaker 1: can take it because he's he's a guy we want 99 00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:29,719 Speaker 1: out there and we're excited to have about that. 100 00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:31,720 Speaker 7: And I appreciate you. 101 00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:34,840 Speaker 8: Han't been in the mix for a while. You don't 102 00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:36,719 Speaker 8: know if when he's going to be back this season. 103 00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:39,520 Speaker 8: Just how do you feel like the group has kind 104 00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:42,960 Speaker 8: of handled that absence and with spot do you feel 105 00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:44,040 Speaker 8: like they're going into the season. 106 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:46,600 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean we have who we have and the 107 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:50,560 Speaker 4: next man in so that their expectation hasn't changed for 108 00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:54,159 Speaker 4: you know, who's here and what we're doing with who's here. 109 00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:59,160 Speaker 4: So yeah, I think that's been a staple for the 110 00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:00,680 Speaker 4: Patriots for a long time on him, So we just 111 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:02,920 Speaker 4: got to develop the guys that are here and hopefully 112 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:04,960 Speaker 4: they take advantage of their opportunity coming in. 113 00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:07,400 Speaker 8: Having now worked with this group for several months, have 114 00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:10,680 Speaker 8: anything surprised you about the players you have in your room. 115 00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:14,640 Speaker 4: No, I mean they're very coachable. They work hard, it's 116 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:18,120 Speaker 4: important to him. They try to do everything you ask 117 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:19,919 Speaker 4: him to do in the way you want it. So 118 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:22,480 Speaker 4: just you know, please with the guys we got, and 119 00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:24,920 Speaker 4: just got to make sure that come Sunday we're ready 120 00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:27,719 Speaker 4: to roll some things like that. So it's nice to 121 00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 4: add some size for sure. 122 00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:32,440 Speaker 8: Tristan Hill was here for a while on practice squad 123 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,320 Speaker 8: last year. Now being active roster guy, how do you 124 00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:37,800 Speaker 8: see him develop over the last couple of months. 125 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, I would say, like I thought, he had a 126 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,840 Speaker 4: pretty good camp. He's come a long ways from where 127 00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:46,120 Speaker 4: he was in the spring when I first got him, 128 00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:50,159 Speaker 4: from a standpoint of playing within this game, using his hands, 129 00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:52,039 Speaker 4: being disrupted in the run game, and then you know, 130 00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:55,720 Speaker 4: affecting the quarterback as a rusher. So he's he you know, 131 00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:58,800 Speaker 4: he plays to his ability, which is what you want 132 00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:03,200 Speaker 4: from a guy. 133 00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:05,919 Speaker 2: We just talked to DeMarcus about how much Girod's involved 134 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:07,480 Speaker 2: in the game. Planning. He made it sound like he's 135 00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:09,440 Speaker 2: kind of handed it for the whole defensive staff. Can 136 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:11,880 Speaker 2: you just talk a little bit about how much is 137 00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:13,680 Speaker 2: giving his input versus in hands off. 138 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:15,840 Speaker 7: Yeah, I think DeMarcus kind of talked about it, and 139 00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:17,760 Speaker 7: I don't know what he said, but you know, it's 140 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:20,880 Speaker 7: business as usual when that door closes. If somebody's in there, 141 00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:23,360 Speaker 7: you know they're given their opinion on what we're doing. 142 00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:25,880 Speaker 7: And yeah, if he's in there and he has a thought, 143 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:28,599 Speaker 7: that's great. If he's not, we're more than capable of 144 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:31,560 Speaker 7: doing it on our own. So yeah, I don't know 145 00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:32,400 Speaker 7: what DC said, so. 146 00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:34,960 Speaker 2: Well, that was a justific Yeah, we were like, you know, 147 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,200 Speaker 2: how involved to he's a defensive guy, played here, coach here. 148 00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:38,640 Speaker 2: Like that kind of goes without saying we didn't know 149 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:41,320 Speaker 2: if he was setting the outline and then obviously you 150 00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:43,560 Speaker 2: split it up red zone, third down amongst yourself. But 151 00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:48,039 Speaker 2: it sounds like, are he and DeMarcus kind of setting 152 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:49,640 Speaker 2: the agenda? Just has a work for people? 153 00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:53,360 Speaker 7: Yeah, I would say just in general, like DC sets 154 00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:56,920 Speaker 7: the game plan. If there's adjustments, you know them were there. Like, again, 155 00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:58,520 Speaker 7: I don't know what was said, but I know DC 156 00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:00,800 Speaker 7: is more than capable of doing it on his own. 157 00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:06,520 Speaker 9: Gonzales, did you have to kind of his entire career, 158 00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:07,159 Speaker 9: given that he. 159 00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:12,920 Speaker 7: Didn't last year reboot his career? No, No, not at all. 160 00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:15,080 Speaker 7: You know, I have a lot of faith in Christian 161 00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:17,920 Speaker 7: Christians a great player. He's going to be a great player. 162 00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:21,120 Speaker 7: I think he's more than capable of picking right back 163 00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:23,240 Speaker 7: up where he left off. And you know, his ability 164 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:24,360 Speaker 7: is one that I trust. 165 00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:26,920 Speaker 2: Are the nuances. 166 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,200 Speaker 6: Cornerback that he may not have picked up? 167 00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:34,320 Speaker 7: Well, that's just experience in general. Like the more it's 168 00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:36,160 Speaker 7: just like all the reports that you do, Right, the 169 00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:38,640 Speaker 7: more you interview somebody, the more you know I can 170 00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:40,960 Speaker 7: get away with this question, this question, I'll get the 171 00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:43,400 Speaker 7: answer I want. It's just how many routes did you see? 172 00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:46,040 Speaker 7: How many stems? Right? The more football you see, obviously, 173 00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:48,000 Speaker 7: the better you get. You know, you look at guys 174 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:50,360 Speaker 7: that have played in the league for twelve years, they 175 00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:53,320 Speaker 7: don't stress as much because guess what, they've seen that 176 00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:57,200 Speaker 7: route over one hundred thousand times. You know, I'm over exaggerating, 177 00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:00,280 Speaker 7: but you know, it's just experienced, his experience. But when 178 00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:02,840 Speaker 7: it comes to the ability, you know, really no question 179 00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:03,360 Speaker 7: in that. 180 00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:05,640 Speaker 2: Christians talk to us about something you did in college 181 00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:07,840 Speaker 2: and still does now. Tell me the mannerisms or receivers, 182 00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:11,600 Speaker 2: how they're working their hands and footwork, their alignment. Is 183 00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:14,120 Speaker 2: that something you're involved with too. I mean obviously scouting 184 00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:16,960 Speaker 2: is scouting, yep, But down to those details that you 185 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:17,600 Speaker 2: talked with them about it. 186 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:19,600 Speaker 7: Yeah, so we'll we'll talk about it big picture for 187 00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:21,960 Speaker 7: the whole room, like hey, this stem is this, this 188 00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,920 Speaker 7: stem is this. You try not to say, hey, this 189 00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:28,000 Speaker 7: is one hundred percent because as a coach, when you 190 00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:29,880 Speaker 7: say hey, this is one hundred percent, guess what they 191 00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:31,400 Speaker 7: do it one time where it's not be like, ah, 192 00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:33,720 Speaker 7: you said it was one hundred percent. So you know, 193 00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:35,839 Speaker 7: we'll talk general concepts like that. But I tell these 194 00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:37,920 Speaker 7: guys too, like, look, I'm going to know the receivers 195 00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:40,920 Speaker 7: were really well, but you should be obsessed with the receivers, right, 196 00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:42,600 Speaker 7: You should know them better than I do. So they 197 00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:45,600 Speaker 7: should pick up on things like certain nuances that you 198 00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:47,600 Speaker 7: know I may have missed watching the big picture. 199 00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:50,240 Speaker 2: How detailed do those tails get? Like how small can 200 00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:50,600 Speaker 2: they be? 201 00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:52,440 Speaker 7: And still they can be as they can be as 202 00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:55,280 Speaker 7: tiny as weight distribution. You know, you know it's just 203 00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:58,920 Speaker 7: it's it's how obsessed do you want to be about it? 204 00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:02,600 Speaker 10: Yeah, it's no problem when those guys picked on something 205 00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:04,080 Speaker 10: that you didn't because they've been watching so much. 206 00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:06,880 Speaker 7: How does that conversation? Yeah, No, So they they bring 207 00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:10,079 Speaker 7: it up, you know, on the sideline, you know, sideline 208 00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:12,400 Speaker 7: or classroom, and so you'll kind of I'll kind of 209 00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:14,640 Speaker 7: hear them whispering a little bit in the background. I'd 210 00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:16,160 Speaker 7: be like, what do you guys, what'd you guys see 211 00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:18,360 Speaker 7: on that one? And so they'll talk about as a group, 212 00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:21,000 Speaker 7: you know, I love my room and how these guys 213 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:23,120 Speaker 7: work together. They do a really good job, like, hey, 214 00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:25,360 Speaker 7: I saw this a I saw that. You know, they're 215 00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:28,080 Speaker 7: not gonna use absolutely everything, because how are you gonna 216 00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:30,120 Speaker 7: play fast if you're thinking about a million things? Right, 217 00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:32,040 Speaker 7: So you you find a few things, you hang on 218 00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:34,400 Speaker 7: to it, right, and you see if those tendencies play out. 219 00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:35,720 Speaker 6: So is that something you go back to? 220 00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:37,240 Speaker 7: You still a lot of guys who were here last 221 00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:38,720 Speaker 7: time you played Bangles in twenty two? 222 00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:40,439 Speaker 6: Is that something you go back to that game? 223 00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:42,559 Speaker 9: And it's like, what do you guys remember Higgins doing? 224 00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:44,160 Speaker 6: What do you guys remember cha doing things like that? 225 00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:45,840 Speaker 7: Yeah? I think it would be silly not to watch 226 00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:48,880 Speaker 7: that game because in the first quarter they had a 227 00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:50,640 Speaker 7: pretty good game plan against us. How many points did 228 00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:52,680 Speaker 7: they put up? Right, So you know, it's good to 229 00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:55,680 Speaker 7: go back watch that game pick out some on some tendencies. 230 00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:58,480 Speaker 7: You know, one of those little mannerism things is they're 231 00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:02,040 Speaker 7: like many things that you're even I would say, you 232 00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:04,840 Speaker 7: gain more, right, just for you guys, you gain more 233 00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:08,960 Speaker 7: watching him go against somebody you know really well, versus 234 00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:11,600 Speaker 7: going against some guy you may not know that well 235 00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:14,439 Speaker 7: from a different team, or this team's more of a 236 00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:17,120 Speaker 7: you know, cover three match team. It's like, I don't 237 00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:19,280 Speaker 7: know if we're gonna do something like that. You know, 238 00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:22,440 Speaker 7: it's just nuances like that. So it's like, hey, this 239 00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:25,360 Speaker 7: was verse our team. This is a pretty good indicator 240 00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:30,280 Speaker 7: of what it's gonna be. Christian ob Jones And I'm sorry, 241 00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:33,480 Speaker 7: I'm talking about like releases at the line and stuff 242 00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:36,400 Speaker 7: like that. I'm not talking about scheme. I'm not talking 243 00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:38,760 Speaker 7: about scheme. I thought you're talking about like the weight distribution, 244 00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:41,240 Speaker 7: the little things there, like the little tells. 245 00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:44,319 Speaker 9: Is that stuff you can get from those old matchups. 246 00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:47,080 Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean he's the same guy as he not right, 247 00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:51,120 Speaker 7: So unless he's changing it up, you know, heavily, then 248 00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:53,079 Speaker 7: it is what it is, Like, that's what you'll see. 249 00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:57,080 Speaker 7: He's both those dudes are great players. So anything you 250 00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:59,280 Speaker 7: could pick up watching those guys is great. 251 00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:06,440 Speaker 3: Just your thoughts beyond Christian and Jones, how you feel about. 252 00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:07,959 Speaker 7: Yeah, I feel really good about my room really like 253 00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:10,000 Speaker 7: those guys. Those guys do a really good job of 254 00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:12,439 Speaker 7: coming to work every day and getting better and you know, 255 00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:14,560 Speaker 7: like we've said from the very beginning, like that's my 256 00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:16,640 Speaker 7: goal as a corner coach to make these guys the 257 00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:19,360 Speaker 7: best players they can be. So I feel really good 258 00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:21,240 Speaker 7: about where where everybody is right now. 259 00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:23,800 Speaker 8: Specifically specifically Alex Austin. 260 00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:25,439 Speaker 9: You a full off season. 261 00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:29,720 Speaker 7: Yeah, So Alex has done a great job of trying 262 00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:32,320 Speaker 7: to learn the whole system. He's done a much better 263 00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:35,160 Speaker 7: job of that. Really, we kind of put him into 264 00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:37,120 Speaker 7: the fire last year, kind of threw him in, you know, 265 00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:41,120 Speaker 7: and you know he responded well to that. But now 266 00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:44,560 Speaker 7: just understanding, you know, versus this in this coverage, this 267 00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:46,319 Speaker 7: is really of the route I need to be concerned about, 268 00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:48,719 Speaker 7: like just seeing the whole picture. He's done a much 269 00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:49,520 Speaker 7: better job of that. 270 00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:53,120 Speaker 9: Yeah, so kind of been like a was an odd 271 00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:55,560 Speaker 9: summer who was down a few times at various points, 272 00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:58,800 Speaker 9: are out there but not necessarily participating. How do you 273 00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:01,600 Speaker 9: feel like he's developed. Didn't you get to play pretty 274 00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:03,760 Speaker 9: much at all last year either, So it's seems like 275 00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:05,960 Speaker 9: it's been a difficult. 276 00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:08,920 Speaker 7: Sum Yeah, I would say that would be the case 277 00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:11,200 Speaker 7: if he wasn't as locked in as he was. You know, 278 00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:13,640 Speaker 7: he was super locked in. He did a great job of, 279 00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:16,040 Speaker 7: you know, always being there when we had team periods, 280 00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:18,560 Speaker 7: you know, talking to those guys that were playing, you know, 281 00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:20,880 Speaker 7: they'd be like, hey, you know, verse this, I would 282 00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:22,559 Speaker 7: have done this, Hey this, I would have done that. 283 00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:25,160 Speaker 7: You know, he's uh, he was really good locked in 284 00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:26,800 Speaker 7: this summer. So I have no reservations. 285 00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:30,000 Speaker 9: Do you see Christian, Jonathan and Marcus being like the 286 00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:30,959 Speaker 9: starters or do you. 287 00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:33,199 Speaker 3: Think that that could rotate depending on matchups. 288 00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:36,080 Speaker 7: I think that could definitely rotate out on the field. Absolutely. 289 00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:39,320 Speaker 7: Like again, last year, how many guys did we play? 290 00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:41,600 Speaker 7: We played a lot of guys, So I really have 291 00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:44,640 Speaker 7: no reserve. If they're on the active rosser, there there's 292 00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:47,439 Speaker 7: a good chance they're gonna play, you know, at some point. 293 00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:49,280 Speaker 6: Coach Bengals team. 294 00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:52,200 Speaker 10: Marcus and Jonathan were playing on the outside, obviously huge 295 00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:55,400 Speaker 10: mismatch center. They were still competitive, only I think it 296 00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:57,600 Speaker 10: was like three explosive completions the whole game. What are 297 00:12:57,640 --> 00:12:59,959 Speaker 10: the keys most undersized guys to be able to remain 298 00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:01,520 Speaker 10: when they have such a. 299 00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:05,120 Speaker 7: Significant Yeah, just understand when you're light, when you're not right, 300 00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:07,120 Speaker 7: when you're exposed, when you're not You know, how are 301 00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:09,000 Speaker 7: you gonna play it? Am I gonna you know, do 302 00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:12,240 Speaker 7: this differently? You know, it's just understanding the situation. Right, 303 00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:15,679 Speaker 7: Situational football has been pre shared for twenty plus years. Right, 304 00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:19,920 Speaker 7: that doesn't change you know, really anytime, right, if you're 305 00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:24,319 Speaker 7: thinking situations, coverage, right, location on the field, like, all 306 00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:27,280 Speaker 7: these things are factors that if you are, you know, 307 00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:31,319 Speaker 7: potentially outmatched, that you can overcome with just your awareness. 308 00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:37,880 Speaker 7: And you gotta have some dog, so you know, he 309 00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:40,640 Speaker 7: does a good job with that. I really like what 310 00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:45,000 Speaker 7: Girodd's doing. It's just a different twist, right, Football is 311 00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:48,439 Speaker 7: football at the end of the day. But I appreciate, 312 00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:52,280 Speaker 7: you know, the conscious effort he's doing here in the building. 313 00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:59,079 Speaker 7: When finally we get a question about these guys, those 314 00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:01,080 Speaker 7: guys are good. You gonna talk about him, but it. 315 00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:04,760 Speaker 10: Feels like they're both good in similar ways of a little, huge, fast, 316 00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:07,319 Speaker 10: those things you see what makes. 317 00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:08,120 Speaker 9: From each other. 318 00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:12,000 Speaker 7: I mean, look, Jamar Chase is you're a do it 319 00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:16,760 Speaker 7: all guy. Absolutely, he could do just I mean, it's 320 00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:19,400 Speaker 7: like the scene from Friday Night Lights. He could throw 321 00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:21,080 Speaker 7: a pass, he can kick the ball, and you know 322 00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:23,640 Speaker 7: you can take out the trash and walk your dog too, right, Like, 323 00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:26,080 Speaker 7: there's not much he can't do on a football field. 324 00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:28,600 Speaker 7: He's a really good talented player, three level route runner, 325 00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:33,280 Speaker 7: great hands, uh, explosive, fast tempo's his routes, there's you know, 326 00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:36,280 Speaker 7: he's one of, if one of, if not the top 327 00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:38,560 Speaker 7: guys in the league. And you know it's exciting to 328 00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:40,480 Speaker 7: go against him. And I get really fired up about 329 00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:43,520 Speaker 7: matchups like that. And then when you talk about Higgins, 330 00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:47,320 Speaker 7: Higgins is great in his own way. Right. What he 331 00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:52,040 Speaker 7: does as you know, a deeper uh to intermediate route runner, 332 00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:55,440 Speaker 7: he's very good at that. You know, he he plays 333 00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:58,440 Speaker 7: with physicality that some guys don't play with. You know, 334 00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:03,440 Speaker 7: his ability to catch a contested catch is off the charts. 335 00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:05,560 Speaker 7: He can make some silly ones, so you know it's 336 00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:08,680 Speaker 7: uh you know, he's a very good player.

You know, every team 347 00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:50,040 Speaker 7: is gonna have a guy, right, That's what the NFL 348 00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:52,440 Speaker 7: is built off of.
