WEBVTT - Nick Sorenson Highlights Newcomers to D-Line and Rookie Development  | Press Pass

0:00:00.520 --> 0:00:02.280
<v Speaker 1>I'll just let you guys go ahead and a question.

0:00:10.680 --> 0:00:13.280
<v Speaker 1>Girth bughts been a couple of plays out out the

0:00:13.320 --> 0:00:18.920
<v Speaker 1>house is early beginnings here, Ben, I guess what struck

0:00:18.960 --> 0:00:21.960
<v Speaker 1>you back? It's been great. You know, the off season

0:00:22.120 --> 0:00:24.279
<v Speaker 1>was awesome. Again, what we liked about him was, you know,

0:00:24.280 --> 0:00:27.920
<v Speaker 1>he's got size and length and position flexibility and it

0:00:28.040 --> 0:00:30.720
<v Speaker 1>flashed on tape and now you know, you see it

0:00:30.760 --> 0:00:33.800
<v Speaker 1>in drills. You didn't get as much, you know, kind

0:00:33.800 --> 0:00:36.880
<v Speaker 1>of team reps, and now to come right into training

0:00:36.920 --> 0:00:39.200
<v Speaker 1>camp and to have all the juices flowing, You're getting

0:00:39.200 --> 0:00:41.600
<v Speaker 1>more reps, you're seeing more team stuff. You're starting to

0:00:41.600 --> 0:00:43.760
<v Speaker 1>see him flash more, which is awesome, which is what

0:00:43.800 --> 0:00:46.080
<v Speaker 1>we expect from them. And I just want to keep

0:00:46.240 --> 0:00:48.199
<v Speaker 1>you know, it's still early. It's been two practices, but

0:00:48.479 --> 0:00:50.279
<v Speaker 1>we just think that the more guys that are new

0:00:50.280 --> 0:00:53.199
<v Speaker 1>that come in to our system, they get more comfortable,

0:00:53.200 --> 0:00:55.880
<v Speaker 1>they get used to, you know, the attacking, and we

0:00:55.960 --> 0:00:57.200
<v Speaker 1>just think he'll just keep getting better.

0:00:58.000 --> 0:01:00.880
<v Speaker 2>See a lot of I guess going home.

0:01:01.200 --> 0:01:08.640
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, for us, for our scheme, absolutely, just because of

0:01:08.680 --> 0:01:11.480
<v Speaker 1>his sides explosiveness. You see the power that he has

0:01:11.640 --> 0:01:14.080
<v Speaker 1>and the length and how he uses his hands and

0:01:14.080 --> 0:01:16.960
<v Speaker 1>he's a loose athlete as well. But to go along

0:01:17.000 --> 0:01:19.640
<v Speaker 1>with the size, he's heavier than you think and he's

0:01:19.640 --> 0:01:22.479
<v Speaker 1>got just really heavy hands. So when you can tie

0:01:22.520 --> 0:01:25.319
<v Speaker 1>that into the explosiveness of his lower body, if it's

0:01:25.360 --> 0:01:27.080
<v Speaker 1>us really well, plus he's like I said, he can

0:01:27.120 --> 0:01:29.600
<v Speaker 1>go inside and give you some flexibility as a rusher

0:01:29.640 --> 0:01:31.959
<v Speaker 1>as well. You mentioned that flexibility. You've had guys like

0:01:32.040 --> 0:01:34.400
<v Speaker 1>Ard and Key Charles Menne who kind of how much

0:01:34.440 --> 0:01:36.760
<v Speaker 1>does having success with those guys in the past, they

0:01:36.800 --> 0:01:38.720
<v Speaker 1>get more projectable when you do get the guy like

0:01:38.959 --> 0:01:40.760
<v Speaker 1>I think everywhere you kind of have to have those

0:01:40.800 --> 0:01:42.679
<v Speaker 1>type of guys, you know, just like you'll probably ask

0:01:42.720 --> 0:01:44.960
<v Speaker 1>about the Nickels in the corners or the nickel safety

0:01:45.040 --> 0:01:47.480
<v Speaker 1>or anyone that you need that because you can't you

0:01:47.480 --> 0:01:50.080
<v Speaker 1>don't dress ninety guys. So you got a certain amount

0:01:50.080 --> 0:01:52.040
<v Speaker 1>of guys that are on your roster. So when those

0:01:52.080 --> 0:01:55.000
<v Speaker 1>guys have that flexibility, you know, you never know. You

0:01:55.040 --> 0:01:56.520
<v Speaker 1>want those guys to be able to do that. They

0:01:56.520 --> 0:01:59.080
<v Speaker 1>can plug in and go inside and outside, and not

0:01:59.160 --> 0:02:01.000
<v Speaker 1>everybody can do it, but when they can, it's cool.

0:02:01.000 --> 0:02:03.480
<v Speaker 1>It gives them, you know, added value for us, added

0:02:03.560 --> 0:02:10.640
<v Speaker 1>value for our roster. Nick, what's your early impression of

0:02:11.080 --> 0:02:17.200
<v Speaker 1>Anderson and Brown the two backup defensive tackles? Awesome, excited,

0:02:17.680 --> 0:02:21.079
<v Speaker 1>really getting after it. You know they're it. It's still early,

0:02:21.240 --> 0:02:23.920
<v Speaker 1>but you know they haven't been here too long. But

0:02:24.000 --> 0:02:26.160
<v Speaker 1>you see the power. You see the explosiveness kind of

0:02:26.160 --> 0:02:28.760
<v Speaker 1>in their body. Really want to see what they can

0:02:28.800 --> 0:02:31.360
<v Speaker 1>do as they grow into it. But you've seen the

0:02:31.400 --> 0:02:35.919
<v Speaker 1>athletic ability along with those heavy hands too. Right Brown,

0:02:36.160 --> 0:02:38.799
<v Speaker 1>he's coming off an injury, but you don't really notice

0:02:38.800 --> 0:02:40.960
<v Speaker 1>it because he can still bend and get it, be

0:02:41.000 --> 0:02:43.280
<v Speaker 1>explosive and use his hands. So we'll just see where

0:02:43.280 --> 0:02:45.800
<v Speaker 1>those guys go. They're young and they're new to our

0:02:45.840 --> 0:02:46.440
<v Speaker 1>system too.

0:02:47.639 --> 0:02:50.160
<v Speaker 2>I haven't seen victory over we did in the off

0:02:50.240 --> 0:02:52.359
<v Speaker 2>season for a couple of days here.

0:02:52.400 --> 0:02:54.640
<v Speaker 1>He's really you could tell he's been studying, been working

0:02:54.680 --> 0:02:57.320
<v Speaker 1>on it. It's not really like hesitant at all in

0:02:57.600 --> 0:03:01.960
<v Speaker 1>the communications and his being comfortable just in what he's

0:03:02.000 --> 0:03:04.119
<v Speaker 1>doing back there, how he's communicating. You didn't see him

0:03:04.480 --> 0:03:05.880
<v Speaker 1>do as many things in the post. He had a

0:03:05.960 --> 0:03:08.360
<v Speaker 1>nice pick out of the post. You know yesterday he

0:03:08.520 --> 0:03:12.079
<v Speaker 1>just got good natural football instincts. But what we knew

0:03:12.080 --> 0:03:13.600
<v Speaker 1>about him is that he cared. He did a lot

0:03:13.680 --> 0:03:15.840
<v Speaker 1>of things and I think the next thing that's going

0:03:15.880 --> 0:03:17.519
<v Speaker 1>to show up for him. He's a good tackler. He's

0:03:17.560 --> 0:03:19.880
<v Speaker 1>really physical. That's the stuff you haven't seen so far

0:03:19.919 --> 0:03:21.840
<v Speaker 1>because you know the stuff in the off season. It

0:03:21.880 --> 0:03:25.000
<v Speaker 1>was seeing this is he you know, he's a big dude,

0:03:25.040 --> 0:03:28.639
<v Speaker 1>like he's swollen, he's like strong, but he's got that mobility.

0:03:28.919 --> 0:03:31.639
<v Speaker 1>He's got some flexibility and he moves really well too.

0:03:31.680 --> 0:03:34.359
<v Speaker 1>So to see that he's got the movement skill to

0:03:34.440 --> 0:03:36.360
<v Speaker 1>go along. You could see that he cares. He's put

0:03:36.360 --> 0:03:38.520
<v Speaker 1>the time into it, just because how he's communicating out

0:03:38.520 --> 0:03:41.560
<v Speaker 1>there and moving around. That's an interception by Looter today.

0:03:41.600 --> 0:03:44.000
<v Speaker 1>What did you think think about his progress from last

0:03:44.040 --> 0:03:46.920
<v Speaker 1>year to this year. It's big because with him it

0:03:47.000 --> 0:03:48.600
<v Speaker 1>was the injury, you know, and then he missed a

0:03:48.640 --> 0:03:50.640
<v Speaker 1>lot of time and it was like catching up and

0:03:50.720 --> 0:03:52.960
<v Speaker 1>so here it's just the progress. He's got great size,

0:03:53.120 --> 0:03:55.200
<v Speaker 1>length and the pick he had today was awesome. He

0:03:55.280 --> 0:03:57.160
<v Speaker 1>just went up and grabbed it, he snatched it, he

0:03:57.240 --> 0:03:59.880
<v Speaker 1>high pointed it, took it. And the progress with him

0:03:59.920 --> 0:04:01.680
<v Speaker 1>is using the size and length that he's got and

0:04:01.680 --> 0:04:03.720
<v Speaker 1>he's been doing that he's got the feet for it.

0:04:03.920 --> 0:04:07.040
<v Speaker 1>He's built right, he's strong, he's willing, he's a willing tackler.

0:04:07.120 --> 0:04:11.200
<v Speaker 1>He'll go hit and again, just progress with him, and

0:04:11.360 --> 0:04:14.360
<v Speaker 1>you're seeing it. Owner has historically not been that deep

0:04:14.560 --> 0:04:15.800
<v Speaker 1>position group for you guys.

0:04:15.840 --> 0:04:18.560
<v Speaker 2>This year it seems like it like how do you

0:04:18.600 --> 0:04:21.600
<v Speaker 2>evaluate that group and and where everything's happening.

0:04:21.800 --> 0:04:25.320
<v Speaker 1>I think, like you said, it's competitive the guys that

0:04:25.360 --> 0:04:28.159
<v Speaker 1>we brought in. I think it was about guys have played,

0:04:28.200 --> 0:04:30.760
<v Speaker 1>but it's a mentality thing around here. You want them

0:04:30.760 --> 0:04:33.400
<v Speaker 1>to be Okay, are these forty nine er guys? And

0:04:33.440 --> 0:04:35.080
<v Speaker 1>I think I said that in the Spring turn. I

0:04:35.080 --> 0:04:38.080
<v Speaker 1>think kind of everybody has talked about it. We want

0:04:38.080 --> 0:04:40.760
<v Speaker 1>the guys that fit us right, good players, they're tough,

0:04:41.000 --> 0:04:43.240
<v Speaker 1>they're gonna play with the violence that we like. They

0:04:43.279 --> 0:04:46.160
<v Speaker 1>love football. You can see it. And when you hear

0:04:46.200 --> 0:04:48.279
<v Speaker 1>people that talk about them, if you know people, they

0:04:48.520 --> 0:04:50.440
<v Speaker 1>all say good things about him. It all checks all

0:04:50.440 --> 0:04:53.800
<v Speaker 1>these boxes. And then when they come it's like, Okay,

0:04:53.839 --> 0:04:56.360
<v Speaker 1>this guy is us, this guy does fit he is

0:04:56.400 --> 0:04:58.440
<v Speaker 1>a Niner, and it was you kind of feel like

0:04:58.480 --> 0:05:00.680
<v Speaker 1>that with pretty much everybody that we've brought in. And

0:05:00.800 --> 0:05:03.159
<v Speaker 1>that's what's been so exciting is the guys are working.

0:05:03.440 --> 0:05:05.520
<v Speaker 1>Guess what, We've already got this core group of guys

0:05:05.680 --> 0:05:09.040
<v Speaker 1>that worked their butts off. Everyone knows that that comes in,

0:05:09.080 --> 0:05:11.839
<v Speaker 1>they see it and they're the same way. So it's like, Okay,

0:05:11.880 --> 0:05:14.040
<v Speaker 1>how good can we be and then how quick can

0:05:14.080 --> 0:05:17.640
<v Speaker 1>we become to get come together and be like a unit?

0:05:17.800 --> 0:05:20.839
<v Speaker 2>You know, what's the biggest difference you've noticed in terms

0:05:20.839 --> 0:05:23.240
<v Speaker 2>of like just preparation meetings and day to day stuff

0:05:23.480 --> 0:05:25.960
<v Speaker 2>since Brandon Stalely arrived compared to the last couple of seasons.

0:05:26.160 --> 0:05:28.760
<v Speaker 2>So that again, what's the biggest difference that you've noticed

0:05:28.800 --> 0:05:31.240
<v Speaker 2>in terms of just day to day stuff preparation meetings

0:05:31.480 --> 0:05:33.479
<v Speaker 2>since Brandon and Stalely arrived compared to maybe the last

0:05:33.480 --> 0:05:34.120
<v Speaker 2>couple of seasons.

0:05:34.160 --> 0:05:38.960
<v Speaker 1>For me, well, I mean for me, I wasn't a coordinator,

0:05:39.120 --> 0:05:43.080
<v Speaker 1>so he arrived when that happened too, so my stuff

0:05:43.160 --> 0:05:46.279
<v Speaker 1>changed at the same time that Brandon changed. So everything's

0:05:46.320 --> 0:05:50.479
<v Speaker 1>different for me as far as preparations for meetings. But

0:05:50.600 --> 0:05:53.760
<v Speaker 1>Staley's been great because he's you know, he's got experience,

0:05:53.800 --> 0:05:56.440
<v Speaker 1>He comes from a couple of different systems and it's

0:05:56.520 --> 0:05:58.520
<v Speaker 1>just helped us, you know, being able to talk through stuff.

0:05:58.960 --> 0:06:01.640
<v Speaker 2>Is there any like major changes you've noticed or you guys,

0:06:01.640 --> 0:06:03.200
<v Speaker 2>are you know, working implement that you've had to work

0:06:03.240 --> 0:06:04.080
<v Speaker 2>here since he's been here.

0:06:04.240 --> 0:06:07.200
<v Speaker 1>Oh no, We've we talked through stuff, just talking football,

0:06:07.279 --> 0:06:09.159
<v Speaker 1>just like I would go talk to offensive guys. But

0:06:09.320 --> 0:06:11.680
<v Speaker 1>we do what we do, you know, and he may

0:06:11.760 --> 0:06:13.800
<v Speaker 1>have some suggestions that we talked through and kind of

0:06:13.800 --> 0:06:16.000
<v Speaker 1>see some things on, you know when we're studying tapes

0:06:16.000 --> 0:06:18.520
<v Speaker 1>of other teams and stuff like that, but you know,

0:06:18.560 --> 0:06:20.160
<v Speaker 1>it's just good to have them. What do you think

0:06:20.240 --> 0:06:23.679
<v Speaker 1>is the defensive effort today in practice? Who we please

0:06:23.760 --> 0:06:25.599
<v Speaker 1>with it? Or are you ever pleased? How do you

0:06:25.600 --> 0:06:28.240
<v Speaker 1>sort of practice? I never want to get too high

0:06:28.279 --> 0:06:30.440
<v Speaker 1>or too low. You're right, everyone always that old saying

0:06:30.520 --> 0:06:32.040
<v Speaker 1>of it's never as good as you think or as

0:06:32.080 --> 0:06:34.839
<v Speaker 1>bad as you That's true because you can think it's

0:06:34.960 --> 0:06:37.320
<v Speaker 1>like everything's great, because it's never perfect. You know, there's

0:06:37.320 --> 0:06:39.760
<v Speaker 1>always something that can be fixed. There was the effort

0:06:39.760 --> 0:06:42.120
<v Speaker 1>of liked. I want to watch the tape so you

0:06:42.160 --> 0:06:44.560
<v Speaker 1>can see everybody. But I think our guys are playing hard,

0:06:44.600 --> 0:06:46.880
<v Speaker 1>they're communicating really well. I think we fit the run

0:06:46.920 --> 0:06:51.159
<v Speaker 1>game better today than yesterday. We've been competing outside, you know,

0:06:51.240 --> 0:06:53.240
<v Speaker 1>covering guys. I think that's been fun to watch, and

0:06:53.279 --> 0:06:57.240
<v Speaker 1>then competing in the rush too, So we'll see. Nick

0:06:57.480 --> 0:07:01.159
<v Speaker 1>how concerner are you about the depth apend and you

0:07:01.400 --> 0:07:03.080
<v Speaker 1>Last year you guys had to bring a charleton a

0:07:03.160 --> 0:07:05.000
<v Speaker 1>number of guys for our camp. Do you think you

0:07:05.080 --> 0:07:06.920
<v Speaker 1>might have to do the same thing this year? I

0:07:06.920 --> 0:07:08.760
<v Speaker 1>hope not. I like the guys that we have. I

0:07:08.800 --> 0:07:10.680
<v Speaker 1>think they're all working, so I think we have a

0:07:10.680 --> 0:07:15.560
<v Speaker 1>good group. Thanks guys,
