1
00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:09,119
Speaker 1: They might to see you, Brian, I just want to

2
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:11,640
Speaker 1: start by just saying hello and just asking you how's

3
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:15,480
Speaker 1: everything going, Um, how you've been handling the COVID and

4
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:22,439
Speaker 1: how's life basically, how's it going? Um, it's a it's

5
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:24,560
Speaker 1: going all right. You know. It's a different kind of

6
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:29,200
Speaker 1: summer then we're kind of spring. Um. You know, unfortunate

7
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:30,800
Speaker 1: it's not to be able to get on the field

8
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:36,320
Speaker 1: with these new players. UM, but we, you know, are

9
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:38,320
Speaker 1: have been doing our best to try to make the

10
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:41,320
Speaker 1: most of it. That virtual off season. I think people

11
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:45,519
Speaker 1: got people going. UM. You know, I think we did

12
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:47,559
Speaker 1: a good job making the most of the situation. And

13
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 1: now we've had, um a couple of weeks to put

14
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 1: together some practices and you know, just keep getting better,

15
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:58,080
Speaker 1: trying to improve work towards the first game of the year.

16
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 1: And to ask you about the safety group as a whole, Um,

17
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:06,760
Speaker 1: what are your thoughts on the way that group has

18
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:11,200
Speaker 1: worked and the competition has unfolded in camp. I think

19
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 1: it's you know, a great group to work with. UM.

20
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 1: Great guys. They you know, have invested a lot, um,

21
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 1: they work hard, try to get better. UM. You know,

22
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 1: Devin's obviously been that spot for a long time, although

23
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:30,759
Speaker 1: we started at corner. So you know, just like all

24
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 1: these guys, they're you know, just dbs. You know, we're

25
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 1: all working together. Um, not necessarily corners and safeties like

26
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 1: restricted to those groups, but we're all working together and

27
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 1: there's a lot of good young players coming along. There's

28
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 1: a lot of you know, veterans who are hoping out

29
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 1: the young guys and teaching them. Um, you know, got

30
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 1: two captains in the room, which is great. So it's

31
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 1: it's a you know, it's good. We're pressing along, just

32
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 1: trying to get better. I had a couple more, but

33
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 1: I don't want to cut off for anyone else. Aaron,

34
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 1: what do you want? Why don't we go to Michael Hurley?

35
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 1: When we'll come back to you? Okay, I feel I

36
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 1: had Michael Hurley appreciate that. Um uh, Brian, I was

37
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:21,119
Speaker 1: wondering along the lines of your first who you're talking

38
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 1: about there with the unique offseason, like, is it is

39
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 1: it feeling like football season in the building because I

40
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:28,519
Speaker 1: know from from an outside perspective, when the calendar turned

41
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 1: to September, it's like, man, there's only a week until

42
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:33,520
Speaker 1: this starts. Is the feeling ramping up there. I know

43
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 1: it's still different, but is that feeling starting to ramp up? It?

44
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:41,079
Speaker 1: Is it? Uh? Yeah, you're looking at the calendar and

45
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 1: seeing that nine slash one and you're right down, you know,

46
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 1: on the top of your notes. It's you know, it's

47
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:49,239
Speaker 1: just starting to get that buzz a little more. Um.

48
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 1: It is a little different because there's been no preseason games,

49
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:56,080
Speaker 1: so usually you know, the feeling is different where you're

50
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 1: going to, you know, get geared up for those pre

51
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 1: season games, and instead we've been gearing up practice more

52
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:07,240
Speaker 1: and more, you know as we go along, and that's

53
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 1: preparing us for the first game. And I think we're

54
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:13,920
Speaker 1: you know, doing a good job of bringing that intensity

55
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 1: to practice as much as we can. Hey, we could

56
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:21,519
Speaker 1: go back to Mike Race. Go ahead, Mike and Michael.

57
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 1: I don't want to cut you off, so if you

58
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 1: had more, just jump in. It's a Brian. I wanted

59
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,679
Speaker 1: to ask you about Adrian Phillips m just from a

60
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 1: standpoint of you know, we've seen a little bit of

61
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 1: him on the field and then other times he's been

62
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 1: a little bit limited with whatever he's dealing with him.

63
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 1: Can you share with us just any thoughts on what

64
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 1: you've seen behind the scenes from him as to how

65
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 1: he's um adapted, you know, come into the program. Adrian

66
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:50,120
Speaker 1: to a great guy. You know, veteran players, played a

67
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 1: lot of snaps in the league. You know, very committed

68
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 1: to understanding the entire picture of the defense, which I

69
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 1: love as a coach. UM. So that's been great. And

70
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 1: he's you know, since day one when we met, virtually

71
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 1: you know, he's always asking more and more questions, trying

72
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 1: to get um soak up as much as he can

73
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 1: in a short period of time being a new player

74
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 1: to the defense. UM, you know, he's asking a lot

75
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 1: of those veteran guys who have been here about the

76
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:26,599
Speaker 1: intricacies of the defense. So he's he's been great to

77
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 1: work with. UM. You know, he keeps keeps getting better

78
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 1: and UM, you know, it's been great to see him

79
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:38,280
Speaker 1: on the field. Yeah, I don't see Uh. Well, Mike Curly,

80
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 1: do you have another question? You could go everybody good, Mike,

81
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 1: do you have more? Alex? I had one, Alex, did

82
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 1: you have one? Because I've asked a few, so I

83
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 1: don't want to monopolize the questions. Mike. If you have

84
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 1: a few more, you can go ahead Are you sure?

85
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 1: Are you sure, Alex, You're good boy? Yeah? Okay, all right, Brian,

86
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 1: just trying to be respectful, right, Um, because I don't

87
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:03,039
Speaker 1: want to ask them all. This is more of a

88
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 1: Brian question, if you will entertain it. It's we all

89
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 1: take steps in our career, and this step you're taking

90
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:12,480

Speaker 1: just how you found that and of all the things

93
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:21,159
Speaker 1: you have to learn as a coach as you move forward,

94
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 1: this is, I guess part of it, right, even though

95
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 1: maybe you don't always sign up to do it. What

96
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 1: are your thoughts on just that aspect of it? Yeah,
