It's 6 00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:27,680 Speaker 1: your facility, it's your hotels, your bed. It's just one 7 00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:29,159 Speaker 1: of those things that you just feel a little bit 8 00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:34,360 Speaker 1: more comfortable being. So it's gonna be a thing, you know, 9 00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:38,200 Speaker 1: it's gonna be a fun game. Come off last weekend. 10 00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:40,640 Speaker 1: We've got to go out there and perform. And I 11 00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:47,440 Speaker 1: give up any big plays. Jason, he shut up in 12 00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:49,360 Speaker 1: the blazery today and I'm like, what's up, my man? 13 00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:52,280 Speaker 1: You see I'm seeing the wild. But it's good. You 14 00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:55,240 Speaker 1: know he's back here. We know he's going to bring 15 00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:58,080 Speaker 1: a lot to the team, and it's good to see 16 00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:01,080 Speaker 1: a familiar face in the locker room. With a lot 17 00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:03,560 Speaker 1: of new people coming in, a lot of people going out, 18 00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:05,640 Speaker 1: it's good to see somebody else come back in that 19 00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:07,800 Speaker 1: we know he knows the system, so he's going to 20 00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:10,280 Speaker 1: be able to come back and at full speed. Not 21 00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:12,800 Speaker 1: that big of an adjustment from when he left to 22 00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:19,880 Speaker 1: what it is now complete. The fifth should answer that question. 23 00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:31,120 Speaker 1: What do you see from Alvin Kamara? Man, it's hardly 24 00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:33,000 Speaker 1: what he when he's not able to do, you know, 25 00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:36,240 Speaker 1: washing him on field, you can see the explosion so 26 00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:37,679 Speaker 1: as he gets the ball and cut back into the 27 00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:42,160 Speaker 1: c gap, the acceleration on his cut, so it's insane, 28 00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:43,960 Speaker 1: like you really don't see that in a lot of 29 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,840 Speaker 1: backs nowadays. How he's able to literally cut and accelerate 30 00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:50,440 Speaker 1: fast through the gaps and he came back full force 31 00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:53,440 Speaker 1: and like he didn't miss the step at all. He 32 00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:55,440 Speaker 1: took on that workload and you can see it out 33 00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:57,320 Speaker 1: there on performance and you can see the will with 34 00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:00,520 Speaker 1: him trying to prove that like, hey, I I didn't 35 00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:02,720 Speaker 1: missed a couple of games, but that don't mean nothing. 36 00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,760 Speaker 1: I'm coming back in hard. And he played the last 37 00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:07,640 Speaker 1: couple of games. You can see. You can see the 38 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,680 Speaker 1: way he just played wasn't unbelievable for someone that missed. 39 00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:14,560 Speaker 1: As you're talking to Keon yesterday and he just mentioned 40 00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:19,080 Speaker 1: that reading blocks is something hold on, hold on. You 41 00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:26,120 Speaker 1: talked to he said something to you. He said he 42 00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:29,960 Speaker 1: wasn't a higher intergy guy. I think with us bro, 43 00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:34,440 Speaker 1: You're lucky got him to talk. How do you get 44 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:39,600 Speaker 1: better at at reading blocks? Like practice? It's all practice, Yes, 45 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:45,400 Speaker 1: block recognition is practice, individual after before practice. This is 46 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:51,359 Speaker 1: something as I got told a long time ago, as 47 00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:54,120 Speaker 1: you continue to practice, the game will slow down. The 48 00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:56,560 Speaker 1: blocks would be able to declare a little bit faster 49 00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:59,520 Speaker 1: coming in sometimes the most a little bit faster than 50 00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:01,560 Speaker 1: you used to from college or from where a team 51 00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:04,359 Speaker 1: you're at. And we do a lot of block recognition. 52 00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:06,760 Speaker 1: That's going to help out that aspect of it. But 53 00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,120 Speaker 1: I think from once since I've seen him coming in 54 00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,120 Speaker 1: when I got to training camp, you can see that 55 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:13,160 Speaker 1: improve with every single day because he works on it, 56 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:15,359 Speaker 1: and that's part of the big of our defense. That 57 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:17,480 Speaker 1: way we play our solid defense. He has to be 58 00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:20,200 Speaker 1: able to read the block recognition players. Your hands be explosive, 59 00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:25,560 Speaker 1: and I feel like he has gotten better at that. 60 00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:31,080 Speaker 1: We talk all the time. I'm surprised you guys, geez 61 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:34,760 Speaker 1: I break bread. You know the best thing about it 62 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:36,640 Speaker 1: is you sit down at the table, you break bread 63 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:39,480 Speaker 1: with somebody, build a conversation. We had to come. We've 64 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:43,760 Speaker 1: had a full conversation. Yesterday was hilarious. He does tell 65 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,040 Speaker 1: jokes too. You guys don't get in to talk. But 66 00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:49,360 Speaker 1: he's a good guy. You know, he's quiet, but you 67 00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:51,640 Speaker 1: sit there, talk to him, break a little bit bread 68 00:03:51,680 --> 00:04:00,520 Speaker 1: with him, he'll open up. It's given adapt the tounch dag. 69 00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:02,400 Speaker 1: Those guys might actually be to play. What did he 70 00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,160 Speaker 1: seem so far? I think they came in here is 71 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:08,240 Speaker 1: started getting into the playbook, and I'm working there working 72 00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:11,800 Speaker 1: to bus off in practice to get into this new system. 73 00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:13,840 Speaker 1: But as you say, like we understand, we had a 74 00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:16,120 Speaker 1: couple of injuries going down, but the next man up. 75 00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:19,680 Speaker 1: So everybody has the opportunity to come out here and 76 00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:22,159 Speaker 1: play every single position. So we've got to be able 77 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:24,760 Speaker 1: to learn what's going on. How fast you could pick 78 00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,159 Speaker 1: it up. It's a great opportunity for those two guys 79 00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:29,240 Speaker 1: to come in here in the position that we're in 80 00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:31,240 Speaker 1: right now, to go out there and the practice to 81 00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:35,080 Speaker 1: show what they could do. It's all about opportunity. I 82 00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:37,080 Speaker 1: think we've played against Riley Reached a few times and 83 00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:39,440 Speaker 1: if you returned to practice yesterday, you know what's it 84 00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:41,480 Speaker 1: like going up against him, whether it be this offseason, 85 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:46,440 Speaker 1: urgually in your past. Good competitor, you know, like I said, 86 00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:49,240 Speaker 1: he's coming back, just getting back into you haven't played 87 00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:50,760 Speaker 1: in a little bit. So it's just one of those 88 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:54,120 Speaker 1: things that him getting comfortable being back out there. I've 89 00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:56,000 Speaker 1: been in those shoots before. I missed a couple of 90 00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:58,960 Speaker 1: games last year. This getting back out there, getting comfortable 91 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,080 Speaker 1: with doing that. But I think he's a competitor, be 92 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:04,400 Speaker 1: able to learn the playbook works hard. It wants to 93 00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:06,720 Speaker 1: lift up his brother in the next film. I think 94 00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:09,960 Speaker 1: that's the big thing about understanding where we're at right. 95 00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,160 Speaker 1: This is where we had a couple of injuries. We 96 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:16,440 Speaker 1: have people coming back on injury. But this is when 97 00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:18,560 Speaker 1: you protect your brother next to you and you lift up, 98 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:20,159 Speaker 1: left him up, and you carry him if you need 99 00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:21,760 Speaker 1: to be carried, if you need to be carried, do 100 00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:24,280 Speaker 1: the same thing. We're going to work with it. From 101 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:28,160 Speaker 1: the outside, it looks like that brings such energy that 102 00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:30,560 Speaker 1: you don't bring such energy to the field on a 103 00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:35,120 Speaker 1: consistent basis. Can you guys replicate that or how does 104 00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:36,960 Speaker 1: that work? Like you can you can someone don't step 105 00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:38,880 Speaker 1: up and kind of fill that role. Maybe an energy 106 00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:45,679 Speaker 1: you need perfects you are there's one of those unique players. 107 00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,400 Speaker 1: You know what he brings to the locker room to 108 00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:51,799 Speaker 1: the meetings to the field. It's a unique situation. Can't 109 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:54,760 Speaker 1: somebody replicate what he does? No be because somebody can 110 00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:57,800 Speaker 1: step up and do what they do. They can and 111 00:05:57,839 --> 00:05:59,200 Speaker 1: that's what we need. That's what we want to have 112 00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:02,320 Speaker 1: to do with somebody in here filling that in. You can't. 113 00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:05,000 Speaker 1: You can't replication some of his personality. He has one 114 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,680 Speaker 1: of those unique ones. I know since since he's a rookie. 115 00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:10,119 Speaker 1: So it's one of those things like that person stuck 116 00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:12,120 Speaker 1: with you for a very long time understanding what they're 117 00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:15,280 Speaker 1: going to be. But we understand there's the challenge now 118 00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:17,400 Speaker 1: there's somebody coming in, like, hey, we have to fill 119 00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:20,360 Speaker 1: this role, definite, says the next man up now and 120 00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:23,240 Speaker 1: we're waiting for this opportunity to see before we can showcase, 121 00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:26,800 Speaker 1: well who's going to take that? What challenges is the 122 00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:31,880 Speaker 1: Saints offensive line percent of the bigger physical down the line, 123 00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:36,560 Speaker 1: big physical, high energy. They like to finish blocks. That's 124 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:38,359 Speaker 1: one of those things like, hey, you have to understand 125 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:40,799 Speaker 1: the play is going to stop when the whistle has blown. 126 00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:43,480 Speaker 1: You're not going to stop. Cut the balls, uh somewhere 127 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:46,400 Speaker 1: across the field or they're running when I whistles blowing, 128 00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:49,839 Speaker 1: that's when the play stops. So it's one of those things. 129 00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:52,640 Speaker 1: I know they have some some cussions on there, but 130 00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:55,120 Speaker 1: seeing the next people coming in, they still have that 131 00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:59,320 Speaker 1: same physicality of playing to the whistle. And I can 132 00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:01,240 Speaker 1: see my old buddy, you know, James Hurts. I haven't 133 00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:04,520 Speaker 1: seen him in years. Like I said, Hey, what's up, Bud? 134 00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:10,480 Speaker 1: Take two more like that. Having Trey Fowers back great. 135 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:13,520 Speaker 1: I'm trying to have him join the ballhead the club, 136 00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:17,600 Speaker 1: you know. I'm like, hey, Trey, it's time. You know. 137 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:20,960 Speaker 1: If he's so, if he sees this, it's time. But 138 00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:24,640 Speaker 1: it's one of those things, like the familiar faces. He's 139 00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:26,400 Speaker 1: coming off of what he's coming off of two, But 140 00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:28,840 Speaker 1: it's having him back in the building. It's good to 141 00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:32,960 Speaker 1: see him. Good to be the communication back and the 142 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:34,840 Speaker 1: workouts that he has in the experience that he can 143 00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:37,400 Speaker 1: share down to the younger guys too, how he played 144 00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:43,840 Speaker 1: in the system and how he improved team. To have 145 00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:49,760 Speaker 1: Trey or Jack a lot more guys than this too, guys, geez. 146 00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:54,040 Speaker 1: But no, it's just good to see familiar faces, you know. 147 00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:57,080 Speaker 1: Not a reunion, you know, but it's good to see 148 00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,240 Speaker 1: familiar faces in the locker room and they're going to 149 00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:01,440 Speaker 1: bring a lot of with them. And that's the best 150 00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:03,160 Speaker 1: thing about it when you have veteran players come back 151 00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:05,520 Speaker 1: to bring knowledge to share with the younger players. And 152 00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:07,320 Speaker 1: they got now to share what they've seen across the 153 00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:10,560 Speaker 1: league also and what they have faced. So when we 154 00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:12,440 Speaker 1: watch filming, it's like, what I remember, we did this, 155 00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:14,960 Speaker 1: We gained plan this with these people and they called 156 00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:19,080 Speaker 1: mixes together. Yeah, a good one.
