14
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 3: did they were on my team? I don't think we

15
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 3: drafted any players that were on my team. We did

16
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 3: obviously draft Dylan No, he was on the other team.

17
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 3: He actually j He actually generated a pretty good opening drive.

18
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 2: They they that they scored on too against us.

19
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:20,680
Speaker 4: Did you have the opportunity to spend any time.

20
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 3: We had interactions down there in passing? You know, I

21
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:28,679
Speaker 3: got to know a decent amount of players on both teams.

22
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 5: So when when the draft discussions took place, did you

23
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:33,120
Speaker 5: contribute to him?

24
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 6: Regarding him?

25
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 2: Oh, regarding Dylan?

26
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 7: No, No, how was that whole experience for you?

27
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 3: It was a great experience, It really was to well,

28
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:46,120
Speaker 3: first off, it it really jump started the evaluation process

29
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 3: for me. Spent a lot of time evaluating, uh, the

30
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 3: players that were gonna be on my team, and then

31
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 3: obviously getting to know those guys, see them interact in

32
00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 3: a team setting amongst their peers and meetings and things

33
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 3: like that. Practice could you could hear a lot of

34
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 3: the communication at practice amongst those guys. So it was

35
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 3: it was definitely a really beneficial tool and resource for me.

36
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:16,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, tell us about him as a returner.

37
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 4: Is he go into this offseason?

38
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 8: Is the number one guy?

39
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 2: Yeah?

40
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:25,080
Speaker 3: So I had DC his his rookie year. We had

41
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 3: him on practice squad in New England, So me and

42
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:32,080
Speaker 3: CEO are pretty familiar with him. Extremely hard worker, undrafted

43
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 3: kid that that has a lot of talent and experience.

44
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 3: He's done a really good job. He's been a combo

45
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 3: returner since he's been in the league. Had a lot

46
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 3: of production last year, he had good production in the

47
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 3: kick return game.

48
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 2: So I mean, I.

49
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 3: Would say that he's at the top of the depth

50
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 3: chart for us right now in both of those phases.

51
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 3: In the tank, he's he's got guys in the tank.

52
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 3: If you watch the film from Law last year, I

53
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 3: think that you can see he's got the same type

54
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:07,240
Speaker 3: of run style, the same type of mentality mentality that

55
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:07,919
Speaker 3: he had.

56
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:10,800
Speaker 2: You know, when he had production early in his career.

57
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 9: So, but what about Gusten Obviously last year he goes

58
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:17,520
Speaker 9: through those struggles late in the season. Like, what have

59
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:20,639
Speaker 9: your discussions been like with him so far this offseason

60
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:21,800
Speaker 9: and during this period.

61
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:24,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think with and with any player, you know,

62
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 3: it's a it's a new season. Everything that you've done

63
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:33,520
Speaker 3: in the past, obviously those things contribute matter, But you know,

64
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 3: we're clean slate. I feel like he's in a good

65
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 3: in a good space mentally. I think that he's well,

66
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 3: he has hit the ball well in in the spring

67
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 3: to this point, had a nice day yesterday, and we're

68
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 3: just gonna keep keep working it like we have and

69
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 3: understand that it's a it's a process and we're gonna

70
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 3: get to where we're going.

71
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 8: Was he not in a.

72
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 3: Good space mentally last year, then I'm saying I'm not

73
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 3: saying that he wasn't in a good space mentally. But

74
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 3: when you're having that many miss kicks, you know, and

75
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 3: the results aren't coming, and you're w and you're putting

76
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 3: in the time and effort, you can be a little bit,

77
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 3: you know, inconsistent there relative to.

78
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 2: The situation. So back on sec.

79
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:17,359
Speaker 10: Yeah, has the return game a source of frustration to

80
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 10: you for two years?

81
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 6: Ah?

82
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 3: I would say we've left s We've left too many

83
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 3: yards out there. Yeah, I think we've left too many

84
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 3: yards out there for sure. I think having consistency at

85
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:31,600
Speaker 3: the at that position is definitely gonna help us.

86
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:34,039
Speaker 4: Does that mean having the same guy rather than a

87
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:34,839
Speaker 4: group of guys?

88
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 6: Uh?

89
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 3: Not necessarily the same guy has to do both phases.

90
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:43,200
Speaker 3: I think that when when one guy is doing both phases,

91
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 3: you do have a little bit more consistency.

92
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 11: Well, but you you got a year now of data

93
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 11: from the new kickoff?

94
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, how much did that.

95
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 4: Make you, know, ease this season in terms in this

96
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:54,840
Speaker 4: in this.

97
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 11: Off season sort of you know how to adjust what

98
00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 11: you have set.

99
00:04:58,560 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 6: Up and all that.

100
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:02,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I uh, we we hired a new assistant

101
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:04,040
Speaker 3: Special teams coach Kyle Hoak.

102
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:07,480
Speaker 2: So we did. We did a lot of research.

103
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 3: That actually was tag team with I would say our

104
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:17,360
Speaker 3: analytics department on you know, the data relative to where

105
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:20,480
Speaker 3: the balls kick caught, all that stuff, and then going

106
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:22,799
Speaker 3: going back and looking at the techniques to go into

107
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:26,040
Speaker 3: the play. I feel like we have a much better

108
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:29,480
Speaker 3: grasp on how we want to attack that play. So

109
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:32,720
Speaker 3: looking forward to applying everything not only in the OTAs,

110
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,039
Speaker 3: but obviously moving into training camp and then preseason in

111
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 3: the regular season. The result of that, I'm sorry.

112
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 8: Are we kicking off from the twenty five.

113
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:43,360
Speaker 2: Yard line now?

114
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 12: No?

115
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 3: So the only thing that has changed is where the

116
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 3: touchback is going to go to. The touchback will now

117
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 3: go to the thirty five. No, the kickoff will stay

118
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 3: from the minus thirty five and then the touchback moves

119
00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 3: to the to the thirty five yard line.

120
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 2: What what do you think that will result him?

121
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:04,919
Speaker 3: I think ultimately it's gonna you're gonna have more return

122
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:06,479
Speaker 3: a lot more return kicks.

123
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 13: The guy that we saw make some place as a

124
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 13: working at a special teams unit.

125
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 9: For you guys as well, what have you seen from

126
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 9: these contributions early on?

127
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 3: I would say, Well, the first thing is, I think

128
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:20,480
Speaker 3: he's done a really good job relative to just giving

129
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 3: good looks. He's done a good job. The effort's been good.

130
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 3: He's a ball handler, he's got pretty good hands. Uh,

131
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 3: a little bit smaller of a guy, but he's got

132
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:32,360
Speaker 3: good quickness. So he's been receptive to everything we're trying

133
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:33,720
Speaker 3: to do.

134
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 14: Get you guys lost a lot of.

135
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:38,600
Speaker 2: Look, you're interrupting the award winner.

136
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:42,280
Speaker 3: Can't do that, you kind of there's a there's a

137
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:47,679
Speaker 3: hierarchy here now, al right? Is that the proper term? Okay,

138
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:50,720
Speaker 3: Mary kay? Yes, you got it next? You're I got

139
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 3: you next?

140
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:57,280
Speaker 12: So what gets you excited and fired up about the

141
00:06:57,279 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 12: fact that, uh, the teams are just gonna be so

142
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:01,159
Speaker 12: much better than.

143
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that first off, you have we have

144
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:08,360
Speaker 3: some I would say, we have some carryover from last season.

145
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 3: We developed, we develop a good amount of young players

146
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 3: that contributed for us, Winston Bookie, guys like that, even

147
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 3: guys like Chris Edmonds that are coming back, uh, that

148
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 3: have done a good job in the spring. And I

149
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 3: would just say just that at the buy in, I

150
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 3: feel like with our whole team, not just the kicking game.

151
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 3: I feel the players are bought in on making it

152
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 3: harder and just working harder. And I think that our

153
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 3: our Kevin's done a really good job sending a message

154
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:44,240
Speaker 3: on how we need to attack this season this offseason program.

155
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 3: Obviously into training camp in the season, but I feel

156
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 3: like our our whole you know, team coaching staff understands

157
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 3: like what we need to do well.

158
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 4: But you guys lost a lot.

159
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 13: Of contributors on the special team from Rodney Yeah, I mean,

160
00:07:58,640 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 13: who's really next up to Gods?

161
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think, well, we're gonna see.

162
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 3: We're gonna see here once we get into into training

163
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 3: camp and we're like truly have competition at every single

164
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 3: position pretty much the lot. We have a really good

165
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 3: linebacker room, the safety position. There's a lot of guys.

166
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 3: There's a lot of opportunity in that in that in

167
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:24,679
Speaker 3: those positions for the for the Big four, even that corner.

168
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:26,560
Speaker 3: You know, we have a there's a lot of a

169
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 3: lot of spots that are available. I mean, you lose

170
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 3: Mike d d D Bell, those are two of your

171
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 3: top guys, so someone's gonna have to step up.

172
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 4: The rookie draft.

173
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 10: Picks quarterbacks, which will be uh predominant.

174
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 4: On special courts.

175
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 2: I think we'll get.

176
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 3: I think we'll get contributions from all the guys that

177
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 3: aren't quarterbacks, honestly in some capacity. Probably less from Mason

178
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:53,440
Speaker 3: than than the others, but I think. I mean, look,

179
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:55,920
Speaker 3: Carson was a walk on at UCLA, so he's got

180
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 3: a four phase background.

181
00:08:57,679 --> 00:08:58,320
Speaker 2: That's what he did.

182
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 3: I mean, he he was a four phace cont tributor

183
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:02,839
Speaker 3: at UCLA, had a lot of production, got opportunities to

184
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:06,040
Speaker 3: play defense. So I see that guy being a guy

185
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:09,840
Speaker 3: that will play for us, especially early Harold fan and

186
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 3: that didn't have a lot of experience, but things he

187
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:13,439
Speaker 3: did at the Senior.

188
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:15,080
Speaker 2: Bowl were were noticeable.

189
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 3: So I think that he's got a skill set that

190
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 3: we'll be able to work with. And then we signed

191
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 3: a good amount of undrafted players that I think that

192
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:27,440
Speaker 3: will compete to earn spots in the two running backs. Yeah,

193
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 3: so we'll and we're going to continue to work those

194
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:32,680
Speaker 3: guys that uh in the ball handling area. Both of

195
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:35,560
Speaker 3: those guys will factor back there. Samson will do some

196
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 3: kick return stuff, Juggins will do some kick return stuff.

197
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 15: So a lot of a lot of kickers don't survive

198
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 15: what Dustin went through last year. So why do you

199
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 15: guys have so much speak.

200
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:49,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that he's been He's been consistent in.

201
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 2: His entire career, he really has.

202
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 3: He had a great year in twenty three, you know,

203
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 3: for whatever reason, did not have a great year this

204
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:00,959
Speaker 3: past year. And I think that he's put it to

205
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:04,960
Speaker 3: bed and as long as as long as the player is,

206
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 3: you know, focused on the task at hand. And I

207
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 3: think that he's done that. His preparation he's in, He's

208
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:15,720
Speaker 3: in really good shape. He's lean, he's strong. Really don't

209
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 3: see any changes in his in his kicking, mechanics, ball elevation, anything.

210
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:24,439
Speaker 3: So I feel like I feel like he's in a

211
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:25,559
Speaker 3: good I really do. I feel like he's in a

212
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 3: good spot.

213
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 5: But that bubble, historically twenty three was an outlier for

214
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:35,679
Speaker 5: his beyond fifty yard kicks.

215
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 2: So was it something specchal that you guys did that.

216
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 6: Year or No?

217
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:41,040
Speaker 2: I don't think so.

218
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 3: I think that obviously he just he hit, he hit,

219
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 3: He connected on him better. He just did Sometimes it's

220
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 3: just like that, you know, sometimes you get in a

221
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 3: sometimes in sports, you get in a in a little

222
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 3: bit of a slump. I mean there's there's guys that

223
00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:00,120
Speaker 3: bat over three hundred for their whole careers and and

224
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 3: get into a slump for a while. I think that

225
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:03,800
Speaker 3: we're just trying to find our way out of it.

226
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 9: Now and bring Rex back, you bring Brenton at long snapper, Like,

227
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 9: what do you need to see out of those guys

228
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 9: and in that.

229
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 8: Position throughout the summer?

230
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean there's a lot of things at that position.

231
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:18,280
Speaker 3: It's good to have competition at every position as long

232
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 3: as you, as long as the roster can can handle it.

233
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:24,200
Speaker 3: We felt like at that position we needed to have

234
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 3: some competition. Obviously, snapping is a is a big evaluation

235
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 3: of that of that position. Ability to protect, the ability

236
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:35,120
Speaker 3: to cover, all those things will factor into making a

237
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 3: decision on on on that.

238
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:41,319
Speaker 2: The intensity for this off season and feeling.

239
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:47,800
Speaker 9: A notable difference first timeline you reconnize, does it not?

240
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:49,800
Speaker 2: I think it does feel different. I do.

241
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:52,040
Speaker 3: I think it feels different when you when you finish

242
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:54,600
Speaker 3: a season like we did, you know, and not not

243
00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:58,400
Speaker 3: really talking about last season, but nobody was happy with

244
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:02,679
Speaker 3: how that season laid out, and we're doing everyone's doing

245
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:06,360
Speaker 3: our best to to make sure that that doesn't happen again.

246
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 3: I would have been in favor of kicking off from

247
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:15,679
Speaker 3: the thirty. My the thing that I actually wanted was,

248
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 3: so now if you're if the ball falls short of

249
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:21,640
Speaker 3: the landing zone, if the ball falls short of the

250
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:25,720
Speaker 3: twenty yard line. So last year the rules were the

251
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 3: ball would be placed at the forty yard line. If

252
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:29,679
Speaker 3: the balls kicked out of bounds, the ball's placed at

253
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:32,560
Speaker 3: the forty yard line. Now the touchback goes to the

254
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 3: thirty five. If the ball falls short of the landing zone,

255
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:38,240
Speaker 3: the ball still goes to the forty. I wanted it

256
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:42,000
Speaker 3: to be the forty five or the fifty to discourage

257
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:46,680
Speaker 3: any type of like alternative line drive kicks things like that,

258
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 3: because you're really only sacrificing five five yards, So I

259
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 3: wanted to I wanted the penalty to be greater. That way,

260
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:57,440
Speaker 3: the play is clean and it just looks better.

261
00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:01,120
Speaker 2: So the ball place an issue for these kickers.

262
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 10: I think we sall last year, like a lot of kicks,

263
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:06,560
Speaker 10: a lot of people in the end zone.

264
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 7: If they were really short, kind of a yard short.

265
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:12,600
Speaker 6: Or kind of marking if between.

266
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I don't, I really don't. I don't.

267
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:17,679
Speaker 3: I don't see it I and I don't And to

268
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:19,280
Speaker 3: your point, I don't I don't see a lot of

269
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 3: this year. I I don't see a lot of teams

270
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 3: kicking touchbacks, trying to kick the ball into the end zone.

271
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:28,560
Speaker 3: I think it's I mean, regardless of what the schemes

272
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:30,559
Speaker 3: or the rules are, I think it's hard to return

273
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:33,760
Speaker 3: the ball past the thirty five yard line. So if

274
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:35,720
Speaker 3: you can tackle it inside the thirty five, you have

275
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 3: a it's a it's technically a win.

276
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:40,960
Speaker 2: So well the last year.

277
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:43,840
Speaker 7: And at some point you mentioned the two spot during practice.

278
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 6: Yeah, got to that.

279
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, mostly for the to get the quarterbacks reps.

280
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:51,760
Speaker 7: But did you talk to Kevin about the value you see?

281
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:55,080
Speaker 3: And uh, we we've talked about past experiences. Yeah, when

282
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:56,839
Speaker 3: I was in when I played in San Francisco, we

283
00:13:56,880 --> 00:14:00,840
Speaker 3: two spotted quite a bit and we talked about building

284
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:04,559
Speaker 3: a callous on our bodies and being in better condition,

285
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:07,240
Speaker 3: in better shape. And I think that when you're able

286
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:10,720
Speaker 3: to do that, if you if you have the numbers

287
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 3: to do it, And obviously we have four quarterbacks now

288
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:15,520
Speaker 3: that we're trying to get reps to, but I think

289
00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 3: that if you're able to handle it the volume, it

290
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:22,720
Speaker 3: enables you to build conditioning amongst your amongst your team,

291
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 3: and everybody's getting the experience in the reps and the

292
00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 3: running at the same time. So look, you can't two

293
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 3: spot every single drow, but I think that that'll be

294
00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 3: something that we'll look at going into camp.

295
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:39,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, he's.

296
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:43,000
Speaker 3: I was, Actually, this is funny, so twenty nineteen, I

297
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:46,640
Speaker 3: was at his pro day at Toledo scouting him and

298
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:49,680
Speaker 3: another player that I ended up signing in in Indy,

299
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:54,520
Speaker 3: Ashton Dolan. But yeah, he's He's had production in his career.

300
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 3: He was actually I think he was an All Pro

301
00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 3: second team All Pro maybe maybe his rookie season.

302
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:02,720
Speaker 2: Uh, but super good like.

303
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 3: Great hands, has really good ability to make miss quick

304
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:10,480
Speaker 3: and fast, good vision, so he'll be he'll definitely be

305
00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:11,960
Speaker 3: a guy that will factor.

306
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:15,880
Speaker 1: Up next talking about Miles Garrett talking about the loss

307
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:20,080
Speaker 1: of Jeremiah Owusu kra Moa and his expectations for twenty

308
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:23,440
Speaker 1: twenty five. Here's DC Jim Schwartzy.

309
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:24,040
Speaker 6: Guys, I haven't seen you guys for a while.

310
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:26,360
Speaker 4: Jim, when you watched.

311
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:28,400
Speaker 8: Jason Graham from your past team.

312
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:31,400
Speaker 10: In mind, I don't know. I've had a lot of

313
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:34,080
Speaker 10: good defensive tackles over the years, and uh, and this

314
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:38,360
Speaker 10: game has featured a lot of those guys. It allows

315
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:43,320
Speaker 10: them to penetrate play without handcuffs and make some impacts.

316
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:46,560
Speaker 10: I think he can fall in to that category.

317
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:48,120
Speaker 6: We'll leave who he.

318
00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 10: Who he reminds us of when he starts playing and

319
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:54,160
Speaker 10: starts making plays.

320
00:15:55,240 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 3: Hey, Jim, I'm sure you're on you with the statistical

321
00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:03,320
Speaker 3: results last year for the defense.

322
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 5: So what can happen this year to get you guys

323
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:09,240
Speaker 5: back to where you were in twenty twenty three?

324
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think a couple things to go with. We're

325
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 6: just dry things that end drives.

326
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 10: Third down percentage had dropped from number one from the

327
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 10: year before, and then takeaways. You know, both of those things.

328
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:27,000
Speaker 10: Obviously end drives. We're trying to get off the field

329
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:30,400
Speaker 10: with no points allowed, and those are the things that

330
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:33,960
Speaker 10: we're putting a big emphasis on this year. We emphasize

331
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:36,080
Speaker 10: them last year. But those are areas that we have

332
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:36,680
Speaker 10: to improve.

333
00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 2: So how do you do that?

334
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 6: Though?

335
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:40,440
Speaker 10: As this question, Well, I mean there's a lot of

336
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:43,920
Speaker 10: different things. Turnovers go a lot of different ways. We

337
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:48,200
Speaker 10: work a lot of different techniques for turnovers. A lot

338
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:52,160
Speaker 10: of turnovers are because of rush on the quarterback, and

339
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:54,760
Speaker 10: we got to improve there from last year, get our

340
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 10: rush percentage up. Being around the quarterback is a good

341
00:16:57,320 --> 00:17:02,160
Speaker 10: formula for takeaway team speed, it's a lot of is

342
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 10: a is a good formula for taking the ball away

343
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 10: and physical contact, which we're not working on right now.

344
00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:12,280
Speaker 10: But guys that play physical, uh physical nature of football,

345
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:15,159
Speaker 10: you know, they they they have a habit.

346
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:16,040
Speaker 6: Of forcing turnovers.

347
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:18,000
Speaker 10: So if we can do those things, we can have

348
00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 10: good technique to punch balls out, force fumbles. We can

349
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:24,960
Speaker 10: play physically, we can play fast, and we can rush

350
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:25,560
Speaker 10: the passer.

351
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:26,960
Speaker 6: We're going round the quarterback.

352
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:28,880
Speaker 10: I think the turnovers will take care of themselves.

353
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:32,720
Speaker 12: Can you address, uh, just how disappointed, uh you were

354
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:36,119
Speaker 12: when Joka had to miss the season and when he

355
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:38,440
Speaker 12: seemed to be hitting his stride and then also uh,

356
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:40,560
Speaker 12: how his person wound so far?

357
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:43,520
Speaker 10: Yeah, JK was on his way to a All Pro

358
00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 10: season last year. He had really reached that level. We

359
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:49,439
Speaker 10: had talked this time last year about the the biggest

360
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:52,480
Speaker 10: jump between being a a starter and then being a

361
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:54,760
Speaker 10: Pro Bowl player. There's even a bigger jump to being

362
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:58,080
Speaker 10: an All Pro player. And it was really disappointing to

363
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 10: to lose him because he had really, like you said,

364
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:01,919
Speaker 10: he had really hit the Stride's player. He had some

365
00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:05,240
Speaker 10: sort of growing pains and some ups and downs, but

366
00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:07,800
Speaker 10: he really fit the scheme well. He does fit the

367
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:11,680
Speaker 10: scheme well. His ability to blitz and rush the passer,

368
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:15,399
Speaker 10: and he made coverage look easy. He had just the

369
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:18,600
Speaker 10: game had slowed down for him, and you know, so

370
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 10: all those things together, it's it's it's disappointing to lose

371
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:26,720
Speaker 10: a player like that, but you know, we support j

372
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:29,399
Speaker 10: Ok and everything that he does, and he'll still have

373
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:31,439
Speaker 10: a big impact on our team this year. Might not

374
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:33,720
Speaker 10: well it's not going to be playing, but he'll still

375
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:38,640
Speaker 10: have a big presence on and and yeah, I don't

376
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 10: know what's going on Carson, you know, like a little

377
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:46,080
Speaker 10: bit like Mason. You know, it's hard to see, you know,

378
00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:48,520
Speaker 10: where they are right now, but he's working really hard.

379
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:51,880
Speaker 10: He picks things up really fast, and he's he's big,

380
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:53,720
Speaker 10: and he's athletic, so he's got a lot of good

381
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:54,600
Speaker 10: things going for him.

382
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:59,440
Speaker 5: A good penetrating defensive tackle can.

383
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:03,159
Speaker 4: Have a big impact companiment the edge rusher.

384
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 10: Yeah, there's a lot of different ways you can look

385
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 10: at that, but you know, Miles n sees a lot

386
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:12,600
Speaker 10: of double team chips, but a thing that goes a

387
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:15,320
Speaker 10: little bit unnoticed is h he sees so much center

388
00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:20,000
Speaker 10: slide too, which lets the tackle overset him because the

389
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 10: guard is is there to to play all the inside moves.

390
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:26,919
Speaker 10: So it in essence a lot of times you can

391
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:30,280
Speaker 10: be triple teamed on those plays. And the best way

392
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:33,199
Speaker 10: to combat that is have a pass rusher that's on

393
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:37,280
Speaker 10: the opposite side that can make offenses pay for single

394
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:40,000
Speaker 10: and up a defensive tackle on a guard. And like

395
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:41,800
Speaker 10: I said, in my history, I've had a lot of

396
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:44,880
Speaker 10: guys that can do that, most recently guys like Fletcher

397
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:50,000
Speaker 10: Cox and and Philadelphia that could do that. So yeah,

398
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:52,359
Speaker 10: and you're closer to the quarterback when you're a tackle,

399
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:55,040
Speaker 10: but there's there's only a few ways.

400
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:55,800
Speaker 6: You can really.

401
00:19:57,040 --> 00:19:59,879
Speaker 10: Uh combat a defensive tackle, and one of those is

402
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,800
Speaker 10: the center slide, and the center's always slide into miles.

403
00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:05,680
Speaker 10: That provides a lot of opportunities for a player there,

404
00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:07,720
Speaker 10: and we have to take advantage. We have to take

405
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:11,560
Speaker 10: better advantage of those situations than we did last year.

406
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:13,840
Speaker 9: With Mason and what he did at Michigan. I mean,

407
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:16,560
Speaker 9: it seemed like that defensive scheme, so a lot of

408
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:19,200
Speaker 9: his responsibility was eating up blocks. I mean he got

409
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:22,520
Speaker 9: after quarterbacks, but how I guess excite hit does that

410
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:24,920
Speaker 9: make you get him in this system where he doesn't

411
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:25,600
Speaker 9: have to do all that.

412
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:29,199
Speaker 10: Yeah, it's been an adjustment for him just because the

413
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:33,040
Speaker 10: style play reading blocks and and like you said, protecting

414
00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:34,640
Speaker 10: linebackers and things like that.

415
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:37,320
Speaker 6: You know that that's not what we do.

416
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:40,080
Speaker 10: We're a penetrating team that takes a big emphasis on

417
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:42,120
Speaker 10: defensive linemen being.

418
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:43,240
Speaker 6: Able to make the plays.

419
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:47,399
Speaker 10: So there has been some growing pains. He's he's pretty

420
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:51,080
Speaker 10: far ahead right now. When we get pads on, that'll

421
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:52,840
Speaker 10: be the next step. And then when you go live

422
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:54,320
Speaker 10: contact that'll be a next step.

423
00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:57,520
Speaker 6: So it'll be it'll be a process for him. I

424
00:20:57,560 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 6: do think there's a lot.

425
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:00,399
Speaker 10: Of meat on the bone as far as his production,

426
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:03,680
Speaker 10: and we can see better production from him than even

427
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:06,080
Speaker 10: we saw and he had outstanding production in college.

428
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:07,360
Speaker 6: But I think there's some meat on.

429
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:10,840
Speaker 10: The bone that he can he can even have, you know,

430
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:12,960
Speaker 10: have a chance to make more plays here.

431
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:13,960
Speaker 6: How much have bet all?

432
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:15,720
Speaker 14: Does attendants matter.

433
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 10: Too for a player like Miles, I don't know. I

434
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:22,160
Speaker 10: mean this is a voluntary portion. We know Miles works

435
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 10: hard no matter where he is, No matter what time

436
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:27,520
Speaker 10: the season is. So, you know, he's a veteran player

437
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:29,200
Speaker 10: that's proven himself in this league.

438
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:30,879
Speaker 6: We have a lot of guys.

439
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:34,600
Speaker 10: Out here who are trying to reach that level, and

440
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:37,239
Speaker 10: you know, they're working hard every day to do that.

441
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:39,399
Speaker 6: So every player is a little bit different.

442
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:41,359
Speaker 10: But this is a voluntary part of the part of

443
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:44,560
Speaker 10: the schedule, and we're happy with the guys that are

444
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:47,640
Speaker 10: here and they're all working really hard.

445
00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:50,680
Speaker 7: When you saw it, you know, Miles request that trade

446
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:52,959
Speaker 7: and maybe get the extension worked out. You know, what

447
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:55,520
Speaker 7: are your expectations for him moving forward?

448
00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:57,919
Speaker 10: Yeah, I really think Miles is going to have the

449
00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:02,280
Speaker 10: best season of his career and has to write you

450
00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:05,960
Speaker 10: know what I mean with you know, I've told him before,

451
00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:10,080
Speaker 10: you know, with what's that Spider Man quote, With great

452
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:14,439
Speaker 10: power comes great responsibility, right, you know, and that's with

453
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:17,560
Speaker 10: with the with the big contract, with the notoriety that

454
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:21,800
Speaker 10: came along with that, and you know, with the process

455
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:24,399
Speaker 10: that took to get him to get him to that point,

456
00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:28,159
Speaker 10: there also comes you know, you know what's I mean,

457
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:30,840
Speaker 10: there's there's always pressure in this league, but probably a

458
00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:32,479
Speaker 10: little bit more so, and I think that that that

459
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:34,560
Speaker 10: brings out the best in players.

460
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:37,680
Speaker 6: And I know that'll be the case with males.

461
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:40,560
Speaker 2: Also, can any of your free safety be a fall

462
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:40,920
Speaker 2: of hawk?

463
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:45,680
Speaker 10: Yeah, you know, I think some of being a ball

464
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:48,840
Speaker 10: hawk has to do with pass rush. But guys that

465
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:51,720
Speaker 10: are wired to the ball, that you know that can

466
00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:54,160
Speaker 10: get an extra jump on the ball. We we didn't

467
00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:57,040
Speaker 10: do enough of that in the past, and you know,

468
00:22:57,080 --> 00:23:00,399
Speaker 10: that's certainly a position we can improve on. And you know,

469
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 10: we talked about things we can improve of him last year.

470
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:07,640
Speaker 10: You know, turnovers and things like that mean a lot.

471
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:11,080
Speaker 10: But you know, so many of those deep ball things

472
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:14,879
Speaker 10: come from ball coming out before the quarterback wants to,

473
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:18,159
Speaker 10: or being hit before he wont before as he's throwing.

474
00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:21,600
Speaker 6: You know, they they but they both work hand in hand.

475
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:23,840
Speaker 10: H a guy in the back end, you know, you

476
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:25,919
Speaker 10: like in in this stuff, you're not gonna see very

477
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:29,479
Speaker 10: many interceptions, you know now because quarterbacks aren't hit being

478
00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:31,560
Speaker 10: hit when they throw, and they're not being forced to

479
00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:34,760
Speaker 10: throw before they want to, so you know it all

480
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:36,160
Speaker 10: it all sort of goes hand in hand.

481
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:39,000
Speaker 8: I know, you're almost lines where would you say, runny

482
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:39,359
Speaker 8: you hit him?

483
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:40,679
Speaker 2: That's attributed as kind out.

484
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:42,960
Speaker 6: Yeah, he's always been a ball hawk.

485
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 10: You know, last year, you know, there was some injuries

486
00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:48,480
Speaker 10: things that kept him from being on the field. This

487
00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:50,560
Speaker 10: is a really big season. He's in his third year.

488
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:54,520
Speaker 10: He should really hit his stride for for us. You know,

489
00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:58,480
Speaker 10: we're surrounding him with some veteran players, brought rays on him,

490
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:03,560
Speaker 10: brought Kzy in, you know, have Grant returning. We're a

491
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:06,240
Speaker 10: safety heavy team. We we run a lot of three

492
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:11,639
Speaker 10: safety system, but we need Ronnie to really bring it

493
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:14,359
Speaker 10: all together. You know, showed really good flashes as a

494
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:18,240
Speaker 10: as a rookie, you know, and he had he played

495
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:20,440
Speaker 10: well when he was on the field last year, but

496
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:22,600
Speaker 10: we just need him on the field a little bit more.

497
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:24,679
Speaker 6: He's a little bit bigger now.

498
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:27,080
Speaker 10: I don't know if you guys notice him, you know,

499
00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:29,480
Speaker 10: physical stature, he's a little bit more and he's still

500
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:32,720
Speaker 10: moving just as well. And tell players all the time

501
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:36,560
Speaker 10: we want guys as big as they can running the

502
00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:37,479
Speaker 10: fastest that they can.

503
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:40,120
Speaker 6: Basically means that if you put weight.

504
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:42,080
Speaker 10: On and it slows you down, or put size on

505
00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:45,080
Speaker 10: it slows you down, that wasn't good weight to add.

506
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:49,919
Speaker 10: But he's maintained his movement metrics while gaining a little bit.

507
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:52,040
Speaker 10: And I think that'll help him in younger players.

508
00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:55,320
Speaker 11: Younger players learned from Denzel Ward in the setting.

509
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:59,119
Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean you learn from everybody, whether it's a

510
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:03,120
Speaker 10: Jordan Hicks or award or you know, it doesn't matter.

511
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:04,800
Speaker 6: You can learn from offensive guys.

512
00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:08,080
Speaker 10: You know, not just technique in your own position, but

513
00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:11,399
Speaker 10: you know, just the way you handle your business, the

514
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:14,280
Speaker 10: way you go about things. There's a lot of places

515
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:18,200
Speaker 10: for people to learn, and Denzel's a great example. He

516
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:20,560
Speaker 10: had a drive and break on the bottom. I think

517
00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:22,800
Speaker 10: you guys were out there. It was as good as

518
00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:25,879
Speaker 10: I've ever seen, you know, and a little bit like

519
00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:30,080
Speaker 10: we talked about before with you know, finishing place for turnovers.

520
00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:33,560
Speaker 10: Denzel got his hands on a lot of passes last year,

521
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:37,080
Speaker 10: and we need to convert more of those two interceptions

522
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:39,239
Speaker 10: and that's the difference between Pro Bowl and All Pro.

523
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:43,320
Speaker 6: You know, the game changing place that PBu is big

524
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:45,359
Speaker 6: for us, but we need to get more of the

525
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:45,840
Speaker 6: I N.

526
00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:49,360
Speaker 10: T's and he's made a big push to convert more

527
00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:51,760
Speaker 10: of those too, I N t's and we need that

528
00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:54,240
Speaker 10: to show on the field this fall.

529
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:55,639
Speaker 6: Got time for two more.

530
00:25:56,000 --> 00:26:00,560
Speaker 11: Jim Michael, for a variety of reasons, wasn't to get

531
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:02,080
Speaker 11: a lot of time on the field or as much

532
00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:04,639
Speaker 11: unders you guys. I just wanted to out of him

533
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:07,639
Speaker 11: in his rookie year. How important is this season for

534
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:11,119
Speaker 11: him to in terms of his development for what.

535
00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:12,440
Speaker 2: You you guys suppose he can be.

536
00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:17,080
Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean, you know, just like any players, I

537
00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:19,320
Speaker 10: I would say that, you know, we talked about Ronnie.

538
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:22,560
Speaker 10: It should all come together in in year three. But

539
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:25,360
Speaker 10: I do think the biggest improvement you see from players

540
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:27,840
Speaker 10: is year one to year two, right. You know, you

541
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:30,240
Speaker 10: see rookies here, they they don't you know, everything is

542
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:32,399
Speaker 10: new to him standing in front of you guys.

543
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:35,320
Speaker 6: You know, everything they do is new.

544
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:39,760
Speaker 10: And the second year they come back, they know what

545
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:43,920
Speaker 10: to expect. And I think you see the most improvement

546
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:46,360
Speaker 10: we need that from Mike this year. He's been set

547
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:49,320
Speaker 10: back with an injury, but he's been working extremely hard

548
00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:52,440
Speaker 10: to come back from it and we're real, we're real

549
00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:55,120
Speaker 10: hopeful to get him back on the field and see

550
00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:55,480
Speaker 10: what he can do.

551
00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:59,840
Speaker 4: Last one interceptions with Atlanta. Does he still have that game?

552
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:01,400
Speaker 6: Well, we'll see.

553
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:03,520
Speaker 10: You know, like I said, this time of year is

554
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:07,080
Speaker 10: more about individual improvement. You know, you'll see some times

555
00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:09,440
Speaker 10: out there where you know, you see players that will

556
00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:12,679
Speaker 10: avoid contact and plays they could make or hits they

557
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:15,320
Speaker 10: could make, and that's not the time of year for it,

558
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:18,440
Speaker 10: so it's probably too much to read into it right now.

559
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:22,040
Speaker 10: But through training camp, through the preseason, through the course

560
00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:24,800
Speaker 10: of the season, I mean, that's where the proof will be.

561
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:27,960
Speaker 1: New OC Tommy Reese got a chance to meet with

562
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:32,280
Speaker 1: the media in person today at the Cross Country Mortgage Campus.

563
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:34,960
Speaker 1: Obviously the hot topic of the day with the Cleveland

564
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:37,080
Speaker 1: media the Browns quarterback room.

565
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:40,280
Speaker 4: It looked like the rookis got more reps today quarterback wise.

566
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:42,000
Speaker 1: Is that just part of the rotation.

567
00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:45,679
Speaker 5: Yeah, rotation day by day has kind of been fluid.

568
00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:48,960
Speaker 5: These days, we have probably the most reps to go around,

569
00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:51,479
Speaker 5: so we're able to bounce them out. But all those

570
00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:53,280
Speaker 5: guys have been a nice job coming to work and

571
00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:54,920
Speaker 5: understanding that each day is going to be a little

572
00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:57,959
Speaker 5: bit different rotationally, and you know, it's an evaluation process

573
00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:00,119
Speaker 5: for us still, so we're just working through those as

574
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:00,680
Speaker 5: the day's come.

575
00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:01,840
Speaker 4: How much different is.

576
00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:04,240
Speaker 7: The structure of everything, Trying to make sure you compared

577
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:06,240
Speaker 7: to what you're using, trying to make sure everybody.

578
00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:10,240
Speaker 5: Gets Yeah, I've been exposed to two spot, if you will.

579
00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:12,119
Speaker 5: In the in the football world, that's kind of how

580
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:13,720
Speaker 5: you call this. I've been exposed to it. It's a

581
00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:16,440
Speaker 5: great way to maximize Look, it's not just one position

582
00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:18,920
Speaker 5: group that's able to get maximized. You look at young wideouts,

583
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:21,440
Speaker 5: young linemen, young skilled players across the board that we

584
00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:23,800
Speaker 5: can get so many reps for now instead of them

585
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:26,560
Speaker 5: just you know, getting the reps from the sideline or

586
00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:28,960
Speaker 5: mental reps as coach speak would say. You know, like

587
00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:31,440
Speaker 5: now they're actually out there learning on the fly and

588
00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:33,639
Speaker 5: things come up. You might run the same play on

589
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:35,639
Speaker 5: two different fields, get two different defenses, and now you

590
00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:37,560
Speaker 5: have two opportunities to coach off of. So I really

591
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:39,440
Speaker 5: do think it benefits the entirety of the team.

592
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:40,840
Speaker 2: I think there's part of the size.

593
00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:42,400
Speaker 4: But what have you seen the most growth in between

594
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:43,240
Speaker 4: Dylan and Shure.

595
00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:46,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think just operationally like looks and you come

596
00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:48,960
Speaker 5: from the college world where very few things are called

597
00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:51,440
Speaker 5: into the huddle, where you have to command a huddle,

598
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:53,720
Speaker 5: operate an offense, and the way you're asked to at

599
00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:56,240
Speaker 5: this level. So I think just from an operation standpoint,

600
00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:58,800
Speaker 5: you continue to see those guys grow and become more comfortable,

601
00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:01,160
Speaker 5: and what we're after there is like there's gonna be

602
00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:02,920
Speaker 5: a moment where they get to their comfort level, and

603
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:05,440
Speaker 5: that's going when they're gonna be able to maximize, you know,

604
00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:08,240
Speaker 5: and feel confident out there. So they're doing a great

605
00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:10,280
Speaker 5: job with their work habits and continue to push each

606
00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:11,200
Speaker 5: other in the right direction.

607
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:12,760
Speaker 12: To be sure we see a day like today where

608
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:17,560
Speaker 12: like Dylan didn't necessarily maybe have as many completions as

609
00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:18,640
Speaker 12: you would have liked to have.

610
00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:20,320
Speaker 8: What do you make of something like that?

611
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:22,120
Speaker 12: I mean, is there are there days where the digital

612
00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:24,560
Speaker 12: lights are on and everything's frolling, and then other days

613
00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:26,240
Speaker 12: are how do you interpret you.

614
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:28,000
Speaker 2: Like that?

615
00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:30,840
Speaker 5: I think for all the position groups, quarterbacks especially like

616
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:33,720
Speaker 5: we want to be as process driven as possible opposed

617
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:36,160
Speaker 5: to results. Like, as long as our process is in

618
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:38,240
Speaker 5: the right place, our decision making is in the right place.

619
00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:40,400
Speaker 5: You know, we'll continue to coach the fundamentals and get

620
00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:43,040
Speaker 5: the physical to follow it, but we want to focus on, Okay,

621
00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:45,720
Speaker 5: is he processing at the high level, is he making

622
00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:47,800
Speaker 5: the right decisions? Is he making the right reads? And

623
00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:50,240
Speaker 5: as that happens, now you see growth and continue to

624
00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:52,440
Speaker 5: push them fundamentally to make sure that we're executed.

625
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:55,000
Speaker 7: It's sure, it's part of the part of the rotation,

626
00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:57,000
Speaker 7: but dealing looked like it was first up in a

627
00:29:57,040 --> 00:29:58,920
Speaker 7: couple of the drills to take. How valuable is that

628
00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:01,560
Speaker 7: for rookie, especially when he's working with other guys.

629
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:02,640
Speaker 4: That are probably first two guys.

630
00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:04,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean it's fluid for all those guys, right,

631
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:06,880
Speaker 5: all of them other opportunities up there with the first group.

632
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:10,040
Speaker 5: And look, we're evaluating all the positions, so to say, hey,

633
00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:12,400
Speaker 5: this is a you know, first group, second group, like

634
00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:15,760
Speaker 5: we're evaluating as we roll, So it matters. I think

635
00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:17,680
Speaker 5: there's a certain confidence level. Hey, you look across, you

636
00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:19,840
Speaker 5: see Jerry Judy there. That builds confidence, right, you know,

637
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:22,640
Speaker 5: you look across you have Poe calling the shots up front.

638
00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:25,400
Speaker 5: That builds certain confidence. So again, all that is part

639
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:26,960
Speaker 5: of this process. All of that is part of the

640
00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:28,360
Speaker 5: development for all these quarterbacks.

641
00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:31,720
Speaker 16: For we're some period.

642
00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:33,760
Speaker 1: You know, we don't have a true seven on sevenths

643
00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:36,719
Speaker 1: to be true eleven eleven, yeah, just a shortage of players,

644
00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:38,840
Speaker 1: or are those designed.

645
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:42,200
Speaker 5: To be eleven on eight on six Yeah. No, we're

646
00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:45,320
Speaker 5: very intentional. You know, when you see kind of a

647
00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:48,280
Speaker 5: half line of an offensive line. You know, we're trying

648
00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:50,520
Speaker 5: to make sure that as the quarterbacks the offensive line,

649
00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:52,520
Speaker 5: that we're always doing something to gain benefit of it.

650
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:52,719
Speaker 7: Right.

651
00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:54,760
Speaker 8: We run seven on seven, you take a three step drop,

652
00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:55,320
Speaker 8: you throw the ball.

653
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:57,600
Speaker 5: Great, but that's not real football, right, So can we

654
00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:00,360
Speaker 5: give a presence in front of the quarterback so they feeling.

655
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:02,920
Speaker 8: Can we work line games? So the line's working during

656
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:03,440
Speaker 8: that period.

657
00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:06,080
Speaker 5: So it's by design to make sure that we're continuing

658
00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:07,840
Speaker 5: to press as much real football as we say.

659
00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:17,080
Speaker 16: Not really, No, when you have three young players, two ropeats,

660
00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:21,680
Speaker 16: and then obviously Kenny's still the young player, how beneficial

661
00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:25,680
Speaker 16: is it to have someone with Joe's experience in that room,

662
00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:28,640
Speaker 16: not so much to tell these guys what to do,

663
00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:32,000
Speaker 16: but to basically just kind of set the examples.

664
00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:32,360
Speaker 3: That you lead.

665
00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:35,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, you can learn so much by just observing him, right,

666
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:37,560
Speaker 5: and just learning from the way he approaches each day,

667
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:39,160
Speaker 5: the way he is in meetings, the way he is

668
00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:42,080
Speaker 5: on the field. Those guys all gravitate towards him, right,

669
00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:44,320
Speaker 5: I mean you get Joe telling a story though it

670
00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:46,800
Speaker 5: might interrupt your meeting a little bit. So, Uh, He's

671
00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:49,120
Speaker 5: been so much fun to work with, so great for

672
00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:51,360
Speaker 5: those young guys and he's out here competing like it's

673
00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:54,040
Speaker 5: your two forms. So it's been a really fun dynamic

674
00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:56,360
Speaker 5: that way, and it makes it really rewarding for all

675
00:31:56,360 --> 00:31:56,720
Speaker 5: of us.

676
00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:00,400
Speaker 17: As as you and Kevin has kind of use the

677
00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:02,760
Speaker 17: off season to build out the offense and whatever. Looks like,

678
00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:05,920
Speaker 17: how do you use this time period to install what

679
00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:08,800
Speaker 17: you can versus kind of part for any camp in entry.

680
00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:11,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, there's a balance, right, we're installing our offensive system.

681
00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:14,600
Speaker 5: We want to make sure there's certain things that fundamentally

682
00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:18,239
Speaker 5: or from an install schedule standpoint, that we're covering. It's

683
00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:20,520
Speaker 5: also a time of the year where you're looking at things, right,

684
00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:22,800
Speaker 5: there's stuff we study, there's stuff that we want to try.

685
00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:24,760
Speaker 5: It is a time of year to push the limits

686
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:27,600
Speaker 5: on those. And you use this as an evaluation period

687
00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:31,080
Speaker 5: not only from a player standpoint, but also schematics. Then

688
00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:33,480
Speaker 5: when you hit training camp, you you know you're shoring

689
00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:35,520
Speaker 5: out your identity a little bit as far as.

690
00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:36,440
Speaker 12: Can you pick it as concerned.

691
00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:37,520
Speaker 10: And we talked to him last week.

692
00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:39,280
Speaker 12: He talked about the fact that he has to learn

693
00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:42,600
Speaker 12: the terminology. He also has to kind of hone his

694
00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:45,440
Speaker 12: pocket presence a little bit and you know, play more

695
00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:46,040
Speaker 12: under center and.

696
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:46,920
Speaker 8: All those kinds of things.

697
00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:51,080
Speaker 12: So that any said, it takes like two years to

698
00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:52,960
Speaker 12: really get good in the system. So when I heard

699
00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:55,120
Speaker 12: him say some of those things, I wonder, so you

700
00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:57,920
Speaker 12: getting ready to go one if that's the way that.

701
00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:00,480
Speaker 8: It works out, And how is he coming up? Yeah,

702
00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:01,880
Speaker 8: he's doing a really nice job. I think.

703
00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:05,280
Speaker 5: You know, the terminology in a system, you know, those

704
00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:08,720
Speaker 5: are fluid concepts usually are understood. You know, those are

705
00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:11,320
Speaker 5: pretty universal at times. So Kenny has done a really

706
00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:14,000
Speaker 5: nice job with everything we've asked him to do. You know,

707
00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:16,760
Speaker 5: we're pushing certain areas with him, continue to try to

708
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:18,760
Speaker 5: improve his game. And you know, again he's done a

709
00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:20,400
Speaker 5: nice job through the first week and a half and

710
00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:21,600
Speaker 5: we expect him to continue to grow.

711
00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:24,480
Speaker 11: I mean, Joe talked a couple of days ago about

712
00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:27,080
Speaker 11: kind of a renewed toughness trying to be instilled in

713
00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:29,160
Speaker 11: the you know, on the team as a whole, but

714
00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:30,200
Speaker 11: especially on the offense.

715
00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:32,080
Speaker 6: Can you talk about that process and.

716
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:36,160
Speaker 11: You know where where you hope that did it show

717
00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:36,600
Speaker 11: the most?

718
00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:39,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, we just want to hold our guys as coaches,

719
00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:42,680
Speaker 5: holding ourselves, holding our players, players holding their peers. One

720
00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:45,360
Speaker 5: hundred percent accountable, right, and not letting details slip through

721
00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:49,320
Speaker 5: the cracks, not letting things fall by the wayside. A

722
00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:51,360
Speaker 5: lot of that's mental toughness, right, So when you talk

723
00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:53,600
Speaker 5: about callousing the team and having that toughness, a lot

724
00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:56,560
Speaker 5: of it's just mentally making sure that we're all up

725
00:33:56,640 --> 00:33:58,360
Speaker 5: to the standard at which we want to hold ourselves to.

726
00:33:58,480 --> 00:33:59,320
Speaker 8: Players and coaches.

727
00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:00,840
Speaker 2: What a teacher today?

728
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:02,320
Speaker 9: But the song of the working last week?

729
00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:05,800
Speaker 2: Tail he seem this offseason after some of the injuries

730
00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:08,080
Speaker 2: last year, what are you expected for the season?

731
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:12,320
Speaker 8: Yeah, SAIDs done a nice job. He's a great threat

732
00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:12,719
Speaker 8: for us.

733
00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:14,719
Speaker 5: You know that middle part of the year where he

734
00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:16,920
Speaker 5: really started taking off and kind of see him pick

735
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:20,960
Speaker 5: up where he was. And you know, we have continued

736
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:23,000
Speaker 5: to develop Said in his role and he provides you know,

737
00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:26,280
Speaker 5: size and strength and athleticism something that is really critical

738
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:28,400
Speaker 5: both inside and out. Playing wide out, I think he

739
00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:31,319
Speaker 5: has some flex there. So continue to develop Said's game

740
00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:32,360
Speaker 5: and get the most out of.

741
00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:35,840
Speaker 7: Him the wine coming off the a couple of injuries,

742
00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:38,520
Speaker 7: just how important is it for him to, I guess,

743
00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:39,560
Speaker 7: step up and be the guy for you?

744
00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:42,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, Duan's you know been you know, really intentional on

745
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:45,279
Speaker 5: what he's doing and accountable to to what we're asking

746
00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:48,360
Speaker 5: him to do. Coach Bloom, you know, Coach Ben Wilkerson

747
00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:50,399
Speaker 5: and Sanders, those guys have all done a really nice

748
00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:53,160
Speaker 5: job of continuing to work on him fundamentally, and like

749
00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:56,120
Speaker 5: playing both sides of the line takes some time and development,

750
00:34:56,200 --> 00:34:58,160
Speaker 5: but you know he's bought in and doing the things

751
00:34:58,200 --> 00:34:58,800
Speaker 5: we're asking to do.

752
00:34:58,960 --> 00:35:01,360
Speaker 12: How about s George us from a rookie camp to

753
00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:03,120
Speaker 12: now what kind of growth have you seen?

754
00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:04,640
Speaker 9: What do you like about his game?

755
00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:05,920
Speaker 12: And how's it all going to?

756
00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:08,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's Look, he's worked his tail off, you know,

757
00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:10,399
Speaker 5: he's he's really putting a lot of work as those

758
00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:12,960
Speaker 5: like all those guys are, but you could tell on

759
00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:14,799
Speaker 5: the on the mental side of the game and learning

760
00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:17,200
Speaker 5: the system and calling it and having that rhythm to it.

761
00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:19,080
Speaker 5: You know, he's put a lot of work and time

762
00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:21,279
Speaker 5: and effort into that. And then when you do that,

763
00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:23,320
Speaker 5: the game starts to slow down and you can focus

764
00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:25,920
Speaker 5: on finding completions and he's done a nice job of

765
00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:27,120
Speaker 5: that as as Camps progressed.

766
00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:28,879
Speaker 7: I know you referenced it earlier when you were talking

767
00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:31,120
Speaker 7: about him and Doyling, but just how big of a

768
00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:33,279
Speaker 7: learning crew is that, especially for somebody We didn't call

769
00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:34,400
Speaker 7: a lot of players in a hoddle.

770
00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:36,040
Speaker 5: Right now, there's a lot of hurry up. It's a

771
00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:38,120
Speaker 5: lot harder than you think. Yeah, it's a lot harder

772
00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:40,560
Speaker 5: than you think. So I would just say that, especially

773
00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:43,320
Speaker 5: just calling it go ahead in terms.

774
00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:46,279
Speaker 12: Of the install level, especially with prey, your quorderbacks, if

775
00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:48,040
Speaker 12: you have to tail look back a bit, or.

776
00:35:48,239 --> 00:35:50,560
Speaker 8: You want to know, just throw it all out of

777
00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:52,040
Speaker 8: them and see how much they can retain.

778
00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:55,080
Speaker 5: We have a good amount of offense in but we're

779
00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:58,680
Speaker 5: very selective with the growth and development and the progression

780
00:35:58,719 --> 00:36:02,280
Speaker 5: for those young guys. So definitely pushing them and pushing

781
00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:04,600
Speaker 5: where we want them to go, but also being cognizant of, hey,

782
00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:06,160
Speaker 5: we want them to go out there with confidence and

783
00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:08,799
Speaker 5: making sure that it's you know, beneficial to to how

784
00:36:08,840 --> 00:36:11,799
Speaker 5: they're learning and the way they're going that moment. Then,

785
00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:14,160
Speaker 5: so they've done a really nice job of really doing

786
00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:15,000
Speaker 5: everything we've asked them.

787
00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:17,919
Speaker 12: By the time you guys get done with mandatory mini

788
00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:20,200
Speaker 12: camp next week, do you kind of need to have

789
00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:23,440
Speaker 12: a pretty good idea going into camp or people are

790
00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:25,840
Speaker 12: going to get the bulk of those first team reps

791
00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:28,560
Speaker 12: and second team reps because camp goes so faster. You

792
00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:31,520
Speaker 12: know what, what's your view on how sort the timeline

793
00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:32,200
Speaker 12: of this whole right?

794
00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:34,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think it's you know, it's gonna be fluid.

795
00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:36,680
Speaker 5: We're gonna continue to work with all the guys we have.

796
00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:39,200
Speaker 5: We're going to develop all four of them, and you know,

797
00:36:39,239 --> 00:36:41,160
Speaker 5: we're gonna push the reps. We're gonna find ways to

798
00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:43,080
Speaker 5: be creative to make sure that they all have opportunities

799
00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:46,080
Speaker 5: to develop and put their best foot forward. And you know,

800
00:36:46,120 --> 00:36:48,319
Speaker 5: when the time comes, we'll we'll continue to push guys

801
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:49,440
Speaker 5: forward as as they earn it.

802
00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:58,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, what do you think that the identity needs to

803
00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:01,080
Speaker 2: be to keep success?

804
00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:03,279
Speaker 8: Yeah? Coach Bloom has done a great job.

805
00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:07,239
Speaker 5: He's been awesome to work with from a coordinator standpoint

806
00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:09,719
Speaker 5: for the players, Look, we want our offensive line to

807
00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:11,920
Speaker 5: play as one. So when you talk about an identity,

808
00:37:11,960 --> 00:37:14,000
Speaker 5: you want all five guys on the same page. You

809
00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:16,000
Speaker 5: want that coordinated with the tight ends. You want the

810
00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:18,400
Speaker 5: running backs coordinated with the offensive line. You want receivers

811
00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:20,919
Speaker 5: competing in the run game. So when we talk about

812
00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:22,920
Speaker 5: the toughness of the group, it starts up front with

813
00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:24,800
Speaker 5: all of them being on the same page, and we

814
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:27,720
Speaker 5: really want that to resonate with the entirety of the offense.

815
00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:32,120
Speaker 4: Quverback competition usually want quarter company.

816
00:37:32,120 --> 00:37:33,160
Speaker 8: Since two guys, kind.

817
00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:37,600
Speaker 2: Have you been involved in want's just seen one more?

818
00:37:37,640 --> 00:37:39,200
Speaker 8: And I have?

819
00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:43,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, maybe not four, but three three and a half?

820
00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:48,680
Speaker 5: I guess maybe yeah, I uh, Look, I think like

821
00:37:48,719 --> 00:37:51,680
Speaker 5: the misnomer is like this, like the quarterbacks get along

822
00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:54,040
Speaker 5: most places, right, Like everyone's supporting one another.

823
00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:54,800
Speaker 8: It's one group.

824
00:37:55,160 --> 00:37:58,560
Speaker 5: Everyone's pushing ahead and everyone's competing, but everybody's supporting one another.

825
00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:00,880
Speaker 5: And that's the cool part about being in a quarterback

826
00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:03,839
Speaker 5: room is that relationship and understanding how close those guys

827
00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:05,960
Speaker 5: are and how much they help one another. And look,

828
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:07,919
Speaker 5: we're in a selfless business here. We want the team

829
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:09,479
Speaker 5: to win and we all got to score one.

830
00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:09,840
Speaker 4: Another to do that.

831
00:38:10,160 --> 00:38:11,480
Speaker 8: So where and a half?

832
00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:14,080
Speaker 5: Probably when I was a player, I was probably the half.

833
00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:16,560
Speaker 5: I probably wasn't really probably wasn't really involved.

834
00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:18,120
Speaker 8: Correct.

835
00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:22,120
Speaker 7: How much will beny camp look differently in reps for

836
00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:23,160
Speaker 7: the quarterbacks.

837
00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:25,359
Speaker 5: Yeah, we'll let that play out, you know, We'll see

838
00:38:25,360 --> 00:38:27,719
Speaker 5: how it goes throughout the rest of this week, and

839
00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:29,640
Speaker 5: we'll develop a plan for next week and hit the

840
00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:30,200
Speaker 5: ground running.

841
00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:32,080
Speaker 7: What about the nine QP rookie.

842
00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:33,080
Speaker 6: What do you see now?

843
00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:34,799
Speaker 7: Two running backs and then Harold.

844
00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:36,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, really done a nice job for us. I mean

845
00:38:37,560 --> 00:38:40,440
Speaker 5: Quinn Sewn and Dylan, you know, being multiple and what

846
00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:41,879
Speaker 5: we've asked them to do. You guys saw a little

847
00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:43,520
Speaker 5: bit of that today with those guys out there and

848
00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:48,120
Speaker 5: you know, both strong running traits and you know some versatility,

849
00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:51,399
Speaker 5: do some different things. But they've great attitude, has worked

850
00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:53,719
Speaker 5: extremely hard, have picked it up, have bought into what

851
00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:55,440
Speaker 5: you know, Deuce has asked them to do and what

852
00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:57,759
Speaker 5: we've asked them to do offensively, and you know, really

853
00:38:57,800 --> 00:38:59,960
Speaker 5: done a nice job picking things up. And you know

854
00:39:00,200 --> 00:39:05,040
Speaker 5: Harold has really gravitated to that room a tight ends.

855
00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:08,160
Speaker 5: You know, CJ's done an excellent job making sure that

856
00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:10,759
Speaker 5: you know, we're getting him ready to go, and you

857
00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:12,640
Speaker 5: know he's made some places throughout camp for us, and

858
00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:14,960
Speaker 5: continue to expect him to do so and continue to

859
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:17,319
Speaker 5: push to find ways to get him involved in terms of.

860
00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:21,920
Speaker 12: The quarterback competition. At this point, can you realistically.

861
00:39:21,880 --> 00:39:23,440
Speaker 18: See any one of these.

862
00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:25,440
Speaker 8: Poor guys winning this job?

863
00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:29,040
Speaker 5: I mean, yeah, you can see them all when in

864
00:39:29,120 --> 00:39:31,759
Speaker 5: the job. I think right, and so in terms of

865
00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:34,080
Speaker 5: the competition, we're so early in the process. We're so

866
00:39:34,239 --> 00:39:36,560
Speaker 5: early and evaluating that. Yeah, I think, you know, we

867
00:39:36,680 --> 00:39:38,239
Speaker 5: have a good group of guys that to continue to

868
00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:41,000
Speaker 5: push one another and by the time September rolls around,

869
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:41,239
Speaker 5: will be.

870
00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:43,440
Speaker 1: Ready to go to the player's side of things. We

871
00:39:43,560 --> 00:39:47,040
Speaker 1: go on the From the Podium podcast, here's tackled Dwan

00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:09,160
Speaker 4: You know, Uh, a lot of people was there in

879
00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:11,400
Speaker 4: the ABA days, but you know, this is like a

880
00:40:11,640 --> 00:40:13,600
Speaker 4: you know, for real thing. You know, No, we haven't

Speaker 11: U you know, health wise, how do you feel right now,

885
00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:26,520
Speaker 11: maybe even compared to a year ago.

886
00:40:26,440 --> 00:40:29,879
Speaker 4: At this time, Uh, health wise, I feel you know better,

887
00:40:30,120 --> 00:40:31,719
Speaker 4: you know, let's just say, I feel like I took

888
00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:33,279
Speaker 4: care of my body a little bit better this's off season.

889
00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:35,960
Speaker 4: You know that was the main thing. Just you know,

890
00:40:36,200 --> 00:40:38,640
Speaker 4: just make those little small adjustments from last year to

891
00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:41,200
Speaker 4: this year and just you know, work on and you know,

892
00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:43,279
Speaker 4: get better. You know, I lost a l I lost

893
00:40:43,320 --> 00:40:45,279
Speaker 4: a lot of a lot of body fat and then

894
00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:46,960
Speaker 4: you know, I prided myself on that, and so you know,

895
00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:47,960
Speaker 4: I'm I'm happy about that.

896
00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:51,800
Speaker 11: He say, changing diet, changing regimen, what what what specifically?

897
00:40:51,880 --> 00:40:54,440
Speaker 4: Do you think what what can kind of contrimine into that?

898
00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:55,000
Speaker 2: Uh?

899
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:57,320
Speaker 4: I would say Kelsey, which is our nutritionness. And so

900
00:40:57,600 --> 00:41:00,640
Speaker 4: you know, we worked all off season together and you know,

901
00:41:00,719 --> 00:41:03,160
Speaker 4: we came up with a great plan and it definitely

902
00:41:03,200 --> 00:41:04,719
Speaker 4: came together and you know it was worked out for me.

903
00:41:05,400 --> 00:41:07,320
Speaker 15: Is it was it mostly the injury last year that

904
00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:09,399
Speaker 15: kept you from maybe being in the shape you're gonna

905
00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:10,440
Speaker 15: be in or did you just sort of have to

906
00:41:10,520 --> 00:41:11,360
Speaker 15: learn what.

907
00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:11,960
Speaker 4: What it took?

908
00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:12,759
Speaker 12: Nah?

909
00:41:12,840 --> 00:41:14,920
Speaker 4: And for sure, you know the lingering injury, you know,

910
00:41:15,160 --> 00:41:17,440
Speaker 4: my knee, and it it sucks, you know, like like

911
00:41:17,480 --> 00:41:19,040
Speaker 4: I wouldn't be out there. You know, i'm'a do as

912
00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:20,800
Speaker 4: much as I can. You know ru, Yeah, you know,

913
00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:22,359
Speaker 4: I can only go as far as my body goes.

914
00:41:22,440 --> 00:41:24,200
Speaker 4: And you know, uh like y like I said, I

915
00:41:24,200 --> 00:41:26,400
Speaker 4: had to have surgery last year, and you know I

916
00:41:26,560 --> 00:41:27,600
Speaker 4: feel better now, you know.

917
00:41:28,160 --> 00:41:30,000
Speaker 9: You know it was only those three games we got

918
00:41:30,080 --> 00:41:32,200
Speaker 9: to see you start at left tackle, But I know

919
00:41:32,320 --> 00:41:34,920
Speaker 9: Andrew and Kevin have been really complementary of what you

920
00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:37,719
Speaker 9: were able to do over there in that small sample size.

921
00:41:37,760 --> 00:41:39,560
Speaker 9: Just how would you assess what you did last year?

922
00:41:39,600 --> 00:41:41,360
Speaker 9: And how ready are you to try to show that

923
00:41:41,640 --> 00:41:43,319
Speaker 9: that starting job shou the yours this year?

924
00:41:44,320 --> 00:41:46,279
Speaker 4: My main thing is just to take a challenge on

925
00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:48,680
Speaker 4: you know. Uh, you know I kept it as real

926
00:41:48,719 --> 00:41:50,880
Speaker 4: as possible. Ab you know, I I personally don't like

927
00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:52,840
Speaker 4: playing left tackle like that, but you know I I

928
00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:54,799
Speaker 4: don't care like I'm athletic c you know it. It's

929
00:41:55,239 --> 00:41:57,160
Speaker 4: it comes with the nature of the game, you know, uh.

930
00:41:57,440 --> 00:41:59,600
Speaker 4: And you know I think it worse can do it.

931
00:41:59,719 --> 00:42:01,560
Speaker 4: And you know he went from right to left and

932
00:42:01,560 --> 00:42:03,880
Speaker 4: you know he struggled too, and you know if he

933
00:42:03,920 --> 00:42:05,200
Speaker 4: can do it, I know I can, you know, cause

934
00:42:05,200 --> 00:42:07,200
Speaker 4: he's he's a weack enough, he's big enough, just like me.

935
00:42:07,320 --> 00:42:09,600
Speaker 9: And you know, I, I uh, I feel that what

936
00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:12,040
Speaker 9: made you has made you like the right side.

937
00:42:11,960 --> 00:42:13,120
Speaker 8: So much, like it's early on.

938
00:42:14,120 --> 00:42:15,800
Speaker 4: I mean something that you play your whole life. I

939
00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:17,960
Speaker 4: think you can't. You know, it's hard to adapt to

940
00:42:18,040 --> 00:42:20,000
Speaker 4: something else that you know, Uh, I had like a

941
00:42:20,040 --> 00:42:22,239
Speaker 4: big strong like you know, right hand punch. You know

942
00:42:22,239 --> 00:42:24,680
Speaker 4: I'm right handed, so it's easy, but punched you're right.

943
00:42:24,719 --> 00:42:26,440
Speaker 4: But you know, left side, I feel like it's more

944
00:42:26,520 --> 00:42:28,680
Speaker 4: fineness and you know the game it's like, you know,

945
00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:30,400
Speaker 4: it comes to you a little bit slower and you know,

946
00:42:30,760 --> 00:42:33,560
Speaker 4: sometimes faster at times. It just depends. Well and I'm sorry,

947
00:42:34,600 --> 00:42:37,320
Speaker 4: but how much he Wait? Did you you lost a

948
00:42:37,400 --> 00:42:38,759
Speaker 4: lot of body fat? You know, I'm kind of the

949
00:42:38,800 --> 00:42:41,439
Speaker 4: same weight it's from I would say I lost probably

950
00:42:41,680 --> 00:42:44,080
Speaker 4: twenty pounds from last year. So you know, no range

951
00:42:44,160 --> 00:42:46,319
Speaker 4: or nothing, but you know for sure loss of live

952
00:42:46,360 --> 00:42:46,839
Speaker 4: body fact.

953
00:42:47,640 --> 00:42:49,719
Speaker 8: Ye to from one side to.

954
00:42:49,719 --> 00:42:53,440
Speaker 15: The other first, some guys you can do it, you see,

955
00:42:53,480 --> 00:42:54,120
Speaker 15: you know that you can't.

956
00:42:54,680 --> 00:42:56,120
Speaker 8: It's frough, h I think you can kind of assum

957
00:42:56,160 --> 00:42:57,000
Speaker 8: it's make it easier just.

958
00:42:57,000 --> 00:42:58,640
Speaker 10: Cause it's just us a ship places.

959
00:42:58,840 --> 00:43:01,400
Speaker 4: It's wise, it p it's just different just cause of

960
00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:03,759
Speaker 4: the angles. That's the main thing for me. You know,

961
00:43:03,840 --> 00:43:05,520
Speaker 4: I'm still trying to figure that out. It's just like

962
00:43:06,160 --> 00:43:08,320
Speaker 4: you know, the way it's shave or something, and you know,

963
00:43:08,520 --> 00:43:10,680
Speaker 4: it's just it just comes to you more naturally. You're

964
00:43:10,719 --> 00:43:13,120
Speaker 4: right handed, and you know, it's just like doing everything

965
00:43:13,160 --> 00:43:15,040
Speaker 4: with your left, like right in your hand with your left.

966
00:43:15,080 --> 00:43:15,200
Speaker 12: You know.

967
00:43:15,400 --> 00:43:17,680
Speaker 4: Uh, I feel like I'm start to start doing that

968
00:43:17,760 --> 00:43:19,400
Speaker 4: stuff in life, you know, just start doing everything in

969
00:43:19,480 --> 00:43:21,239
Speaker 4: my left. And I'm already tryna do that, and so

970
00:43:21,680 --> 00:43:22,640
Speaker 4: I feel like it's working for me.

971
00:43:22,920 --> 00:43:24,719
Speaker 16: I think you can go a bot losing that way,

972
00:43:24,920 --> 00:43:26,960
Speaker 16: that body fat and how would that make you a

973
00:43:27,040 --> 00:43:27,640
Speaker 16: better player?

974
00:43:28,120 --> 00:43:28,480
Speaker 5: Uh L.

975
00:43:28,680 --> 00:43:30,440
Speaker 4: Like I said, I am playing left tackle. Most of

976
00:43:30,480 --> 00:43:32,160
Speaker 4: the left tackles are a little bit more leaner, and

977
00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:34,520
Speaker 4: uh you know, I feel like that would help my game,

978
00:43:34,680 --> 00:43:36,440
Speaker 4: you know, being lean and be able to go with

979
00:43:36,520 --> 00:43:38,680
Speaker 4: the ball. You know, I got not going gets Miles

980
00:43:38,960 --> 00:43:41,040
Speaker 4: all the time on the right side. Left side, you know,

981
00:43:41,120 --> 00:43:43,160
Speaker 4: Miles there every time, and so you know, lighter off

982
00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:45,640
Speaker 4: your feet and you know you can get to block Miles.

983
00:43:45,680 --> 00:43:48,520
Speaker 16: You know what you can you win from from blocks

984
00:43:48,560 --> 00:43:49,560
Speaker 16: and mouse or from.

985
00:43:50,440 --> 00:43:54,759
Speaker 4: Uh probably patience. He has a lot of power. I

986
00:43:54,840 --> 00:43:57,280
Speaker 4: think that's the main thing. I'm more uh in his finesse,

987
00:43:57,840 --> 00:43:59,680
Speaker 4: his finesse at the top of the rush or you know,

988
00:44:00,280 --> 00:44:02,319
Speaker 4: just shock and shedle. I think that's where I can

989
00:44:02,400 --> 00:44:04,000
Speaker 4: really learn a lot of you know, figure out my

990
00:44:04,120 --> 00:44:06,520
Speaker 4: hands or put 'em and you know, I think he'll

991
00:44:06,560 --> 00:44:07,000
Speaker 4: he'll help me.

992
00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:07,279
Speaker 6: Out a lot.

993
00:44:07,320 --> 00:44:07,440
Speaker 1: Though.

994
00:44:07,520 --> 00:44:08,560
Speaker 8: Are you studying certain times?

995
00:44:08,560 --> 00:44:10,759
Speaker 15: I remember last year said something about Ronnie Stanley really

996
00:44:10,840 --> 00:44:12,800
Speaker 15: liked him when you study like certain guys.

997
00:44:13,280 --> 00:44:15,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think I did, uh Trent Brown this this

998
00:44:15,960 --> 00:44:18,360
Speaker 4: off season. Uh yeah, I would see peop that, Uh

999
00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:20,640
Speaker 4: I did Trent Brown this off season off Uh, he

1000
00:44:20,719 --> 00:44:22,359
Speaker 4: had a real good year when he went to left

1001
00:44:22,440 --> 00:44:24,480
Speaker 4: from uh left to right or right to left from

1002
00:44:24,760 --> 00:44:27,000
Speaker 4: the Patriots when he was on her team, And I

1003
00:44:27,080 --> 00:44:29,359
Speaker 4: think he did a real good job. And they kind

1004
00:44:29,400 --> 00:44:31,640
Speaker 4: of played similar opponents we did cause they're in the FC,

1005
00:44:31,880 --> 00:44:34,319
Speaker 4: and so I really like, like liked that about him.

1006
00:44:34,320 --> 00:44:37,279
Speaker 4: And you know, he went against Miles and he you know,

1007
00:44:37,400 --> 00:44:38,920
Speaker 4: he had something for Miles, and uh, I'll just take

1008
00:44:38,960 --> 00:44:39,960
Speaker 4: that and trap put into my game.

1009
00:44:40,320 --> 00:44:43,279
Speaker 9: We want of considering the injuries you've dealt with the

1010
00:44:43,320 --> 00:44:44,799
Speaker 9: first two years of your career, I know, the broken

1011
00:44:44,840 --> 00:44:47,960
Speaker 9: bones kind of a freak thing, but changing your body composition,

1012
00:44:48,120 --> 00:44:50,359
Speaker 9: doing all those things. How much of that is kind

1013
00:44:50,360 --> 00:44:53,440
Speaker 9: of inspired by wanting to, I imagine, play all the

1014
00:44:53,520 --> 00:44:54,959
Speaker 9: seventeen regular season games.

1015
00:44:55,080 --> 00:44:57,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a you know, that's one of my major

1016
00:44:57,200 --> 00:44:59,400
Speaker 4: goals that I made, is just a finish out the

1017
00:44:59,440 --> 00:45:01,680
Speaker 4: whole season, you know, and you know I just wanna

1018
00:45:01,680 --> 00:45:02,160
Speaker 4: live up to that.

1019
00:45:03,120 --> 00:45:03,440
Speaker 3: Wan h.

1020
00:45:03,560 --> 00:45:05,120
Speaker 15: I know Joel's gonna help there to stay with you

1021
00:45:05,200 --> 00:45:06,920
Speaker 15: guys right now though, who's been around.

1022
00:45:06,640 --> 00:45:08,960
Speaker 8: And kinds that you got? How much can you or

1023
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:11,160
Speaker 8: where you meet on him? Just kind of be on

1024
00:45:11,200 --> 00:45:11,680
Speaker 8: that west.

1025
00:45:11,600 --> 00:45:15,000
Speaker 4: Side and something when you play next to him. I

1026
00:45:15,160 --> 00:45:17,040
Speaker 4: lean on him a lot, you know, he he's right

1027
00:45:17,120 --> 00:45:23,680
Speaker 4: next to the meetings. Now you could rock now. I

1028
00:45:23,800 --> 00:45:25,680
Speaker 4: leand on Joe a lot though. He he's right next

1029
00:45:25,719 --> 00:45:28,480
Speaker 4: to me meetings, and I think he helps me out

1030
00:45:28,640 --> 00:45:30,239
Speaker 4: just cause you know, he knows him a young guy.

1031
00:45:30,320 --> 00:45:32,160
Speaker 4: I haven't play on that side, and so he kind

1032
00:45:32,200 --> 00:45:33,840
Speaker 4: of like you know, gives him the T sheet. But

1033
00:45:34,320 --> 00:45:35,640
Speaker 4: you know, I kind of try to figure things out

1034
00:45:35,640 --> 00:45:38,000
Speaker 4: on my own, which you know, it's football. What you got,

1035
00:45:38,200 --> 00:45:38,680
Speaker 4: g got you?

1036
00:45:39,760 --> 00:45:43,520
Speaker 14: When you watch guys like Ronnie Trend's, uh Tristan works, what.

1037
00:45:43,600 --> 00:45:45,239
Speaker 16: Do you what are your specifically to watch him when

1038
00:45:45,280 --> 00:45:45,800
Speaker 16: you're trying.

1039
00:45:45,640 --> 00:45:47,960
Speaker 2: To take remember what we front of me.

1040
00:45:48,239 --> 00:45:50,000
Speaker 4: Just the way they move in space. You know, I

1041
00:45:50,080 --> 00:45:52,719
Speaker 4: think I sometimes struggled up, you know, just moving in space.

1042
00:45:52,920 --> 00:45:55,359
Speaker 4: Men as a big guy, and you know Trent Brown,

1043
00:45:55,400 --> 00:45:58,120
Speaker 4: tr Williams, uh, Tristan they all move out in space

1044
00:45:58,239 --> 00:46:00,400
Speaker 4: and uh you know in the pass game, you know,

1045
00:46:00,520 --> 00:46:02,480
Speaker 4: their feet is always in sync with each other. You

1046
00:46:02,560 --> 00:46:04,480
Speaker 4: know sometimes like I've seen Trink Geld beat you know

1047
00:46:04,560 --> 00:46:06,360
Speaker 4: Trumk I obvious. You know he used to got to

1048
00:46:06,360 --> 00:46:08,359
Speaker 4: beat by my house. He's got you know, he's got

1049
00:46:08,440 --> 00:46:10,600
Speaker 4: to be by Michael. But you know it's very rare,

1050
00:46:10,719 --> 00:46:12,840
Speaker 4: and you know, I wanna be in that very rare category.

1051
00:46:13,400 --> 00:46:16,040
Speaker 4: And you know I I it's good watching them and

1052
00:46:16,160 --> 00:46:18,040
Speaker 4: you know, getting that you know filming, cause you know

1053
00:46:18,120 --> 00:46:19,640
Speaker 4: you see it and then you got people do on

1054
00:46:19,680 --> 00:46:21,080
Speaker 4: the field and it helps out so much.

1055
00:46:22,239 --> 00:46:26,040
Speaker 10: Oh what was your recovery like the looking way, when

1056
00:46:26,080 --> 00:46:27,239
Speaker 10: did you basically get.

1057
00:46:27,160 --> 00:46:30,080
Speaker 8: Back to like the deer like or and actually versus case.

1058
00:46:31,080 --> 00:46:32,319
Speaker 4: Uh the recovery was long.

1059
00:46:32,680 --> 00:46:34,080
Speaker 6: Uh you know that was the main part.

1060
00:46:34,239 --> 00:46:34,359
Speaker 9: Uh.

1061
00:46:35,760 --> 00:46:37,319
Speaker 4: I just you know, I just put my head down,

1062
00:46:37,520 --> 00:46:38,960
Speaker 4: you know, I f like I said, I I feel

1063
00:46:38,960 --> 00:46:42,080
Speaker 4: like I didn't. I could've really attacked they years past prior.

1064
00:46:42,280 --> 00:46:45,120
Speaker 4: Uh yeah, treatment a little bit better and you know,

1065
00:46:45,160 --> 00:46:46,279
Speaker 4: I feel like I did that this year.

1066
00:46:46,440 --> 00:46:46,600
Speaker 5: You know.

1067
00:46:46,800 --> 00:46:48,800
Speaker 4: It definitely is that times it's sore, and you know

1068
00:46:48,800 --> 00:46:51,520
Speaker 4: it's stuff I can't control, you know, but uh, I

1069
00:46:51,600 --> 00:46:53,520
Speaker 4: definitely took a good approach. You know that the trainers,

1070
00:46:53,640 --> 00:46:55,560
Speaker 4: the training shore got me right for shorty.

1071
00:46:55,719 --> 00:46:57,719
Speaker 18: Hey, d Wine, you were a basketball player in high

1072
00:46:57,719 --> 00:46:59,880
Speaker 18: school and a lot of times people say when you

1073
00:46:59,920 --> 00:47:03,000
Speaker 18: cross trained in other sports it helps you in football

1074
00:47:03,160 --> 00:47:05,560
Speaker 18: or other sports. You think that the footwork you had

1075
00:47:05,600 --> 00:47:09,040
Speaker 18: to use playing basketball helps you, d uh help help

1076
00:47:09,120 --> 00:47:11,160
Speaker 18: you develop as a tackle and you're able to play

1077
00:47:11,200 --> 00:47:12,680
Speaker 18: both sides and his flawless.

1078
00:47:12,760 --> 00:47:12,840
Speaker 2: Man.

1079
00:47:13,040 --> 00:47:14,719
Speaker 4: I think that's the main thing, you know, as well

1080
00:47:14,760 --> 00:47:16,879
Speaker 4: as my like I said, my footwork and you know, yes,

1081
00:47:17,120 --> 00:47:20,600
Speaker 4: playing basketball help a lot, you know, whether from shuffling

1082
00:47:20,680 --> 00:47:22,239
Speaker 4: like I said, I have to turn this way or

1083
00:47:22,320 --> 00:47:25,440
Speaker 4: shuffle from right to you know, and it's just like football.

1084
00:47:25,480 --> 00:47:27,080
Speaker 4: You know you're gonna shuffle on defense and you know

1085
00:47:27,160 --> 00:47:28,920
Speaker 4: it just got can't let the guy get to the basket,

1086
00:47:29,080 --> 00:47:30,839
Speaker 4: you know. So that's what I mean. Goes don't let

1087
00:47:30,840 --> 00:47:32,160
Speaker 4: the guy get to the quarterback, don't let the guy

1088
00:47:32,160 --> 00:47:32,880
Speaker 4: get to the basketball.

1089
00:47:34,280 --> 00:47:37,040
Speaker 8: Kind of been like working with coach Klingberan.

1090
00:47:36,680 --> 00:47:37,640
Speaker 2: And and everything.

1091
00:47:38,080 --> 00:47:39,799
Speaker 4: Uh, it's been well, you know, it just came from

1092
00:47:39,840 --> 00:47:41,640
Speaker 4: Bill and you know it got some good stuff from

1093
00:47:41,920 --> 00:47:43,880
Speaker 4: coach Callahan and you know, I I love that.

1094
00:47:44,320 --> 00:47:46,279
Speaker 9: I know, Joel said he's been good with developing the

1095
00:47:46,400 --> 00:47:48,000
Speaker 9: young guys, especially already earlier.

1096
00:47:48,200 --> 00:47:49,439
Speaker 8: Consider you in that group.

1097
00:47:49,480 --> 00:47:51,040
Speaker 9: Do you feel like that that you're gonna take a

1098
00:47:51,160 --> 00:47:51,920
Speaker 9: next step with him?

1099
00:47:52,360 --> 00:47:52,440
Speaker 2: Uh?

1100
00:47:52,560 --> 00:47:55,279
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, you know hopefully you know, uh, like I said,

1101
00:47:55,320 --> 00:47:57,239
Speaker 4: we just had three in the past three years. But

1102
00:47:57,360 --> 00:48:00,120
Speaker 4: hopefully coach Bloom get to stay and you know, you

1103
00:48:00,120 --> 00:48:01,200
Speaker 4: know I would let it have him here for a

1104
00:48:01,280 --> 00:48:01,640
Speaker 4: long time.

1105
00:48:02,560 --> 00:48:05,640
Speaker 8: Also kind of said that coach Jordan grad and use

1106
00:48:05,680 --> 00:48:07,480
Speaker 8: a different world, but he called him like a jerk.

1107
00:48:07,360 --> 00:48:09,200
Speaker 9: Sort of and how he thinks like offensive lineman kind

1108
00:48:09,200 --> 00:48:11,200
Speaker 9: of need that is that sort of the same.

1109
00:48:11,080 --> 00:48:13,359
Speaker 8: Style that you kind of appreciated the coaching room where

1110
00:48:13,360 --> 00:48:13,840
Speaker 8: they can sort of.

1111
00:48:13,800 --> 00:48:14,239
Speaker 11: Be tough on you.

1112
00:48:14,320 --> 00:48:15,160
Speaker 8: That's what a tough love.

1113
00:48:16,120 --> 00:48:16,239
Speaker 2: Uh.

1114
00:48:16,320 --> 00:48:19,200
Speaker 4: Sometimes you know, I you know, I check it at

1115
00:48:19,280 --> 00:48:21,279
Speaker 4: the door. You know, I just tell him, like, you know,

1116
00:48:21,320 --> 00:48:22,799
Speaker 4: I gotta keep it really how you wanna be coaching,

1117
00:48:22,840 --> 00:48:24,880
Speaker 4: how you don't be coaching. And you know I tell

1118
00:48:24,920 --> 00:48:28,040
Speaker 4: him at the beginning, and everybody finds their own land path,

1119
00:48:28,160 --> 00:48:30,360
Speaker 4: you know, like Callahan coached me different the way he

1120
00:48:30,440 --> 00:48:33,320
Speaker 4: coach whyatt And you know everybody knows that, and you

1121
00:48:33,400 --> 00:48:35,600
Speaker 4: know it's just that's just how the coaches are.

1122
00:48:35,719 --> 00:48:35,880
Speaker 2: You know.

1123
00:48:36,239 --> 00:48:39,200
Speaker 1: Finally today one of the leaders up the defense and

1124
00:48:39,280 --> 00:48:41,680
Speaker 1: a guy that Jim Schwartz will be counting on quite

1125
00:48:41,680 --> 00:48:45,279
Speaker 1: a bit this season, especially with Jeremiah o Wusu Koramoa

1126
00:48:45,400 --> 00:48:47,600
Speaker 1: out here's linebacker Jordan Hicks.

1127
00:48:47,840 --> 00:48:50,359
Speaker 9: To start off, like obviously knowing okay, it's not gonna

1128
00:48:50,360 --> 00:48:52,600
Speaker 9: be able to play this year. Just how hard does

1129
00:48:52,640 --> 00:48:55,080
Speaker 9: that happen? To see everything he went through last year?

1130
00:48:56,520 --> 00:48:59,480
Speaker 13: Yeah, obviously it's difficult when you lose somebody you know

1131
00:49:00,320 --> 00:49:03,520
Speaker 13: that's not just awesome on the field, right obviously it

1132
00:49:03,640 --> 00:49:05,799
Speaker 13: play speaks for itself, but somebody that's off the field

1133
00:49:05,880 --> 00:49:08,719
Speaker 13: that's fun to have around and you know, constantly joke

1134
00:49:08,800 --> 00:49:09,680
Speaker 13: and keeping things light.

1135
00:49:09,800 --> 00:49:12,040
Speaker 4: But h just a leader in the locker room.

1136
00:49:12,400 --> 00:49:15,399
Speaker 13: And uh, it's tough. It's tough right now he's not around.

1137
00:49:15,440 --> 00:49:16,960
Speaker 13: I'm p I'm pretty sure he's gonna be around a

1138
00:49:17,000 --> 00:49:20,200
Speaker 13: lot more, which is good. Excited to see him, but yeah,

1139
00:49:20,360 --> 00:49:23,400
Speaker 13: you know, you never wish that upon anybody.

1140
00:49:23,200 --> 00:49:24,120
Speaker 4: Uh playing the sport.

1141
00:49:25,000 --> 00:49:26,120
Speaker 2: Contact with him.

1142
00:49:26,280 --> 00:49:28,759
Speaker 13: A little, you know, we're we we'll text here and there,

1143
00:49:28,880 --> 00:49:32,640
Speaker 13: but haven't talked talked, so you know, I was ex

1144
00:49:32,760 --> 00:49:35,080
Speaker 13: I was expecting to see him here. Obviously when everything

1145
00:49:35,120 --> 00:49:38,000
Speaker 13: came out he wasn't. But uh, you know, I'm excited

1146
00:49:38,040 --> 00:49:39,440
Speaker 13: to to be able to see him in person and

1147
00:49:39,480 --> 00:49:40,120
Speaker 13: get to sit down with.

1148
00:49:40,200 --> 00:49:41,600
Speaker 2: Him on those lines.

1149
00:49:43,120 --> 00:49:49,800
Speaker 4: Getting drafted and just talk to guys like, yeah, smart

1150
00:49:49,920 --> 00:49:50,319
Speaker 4: kid man.

1151
00:49:50,440 --> 00:49:56,200
Speaker 14: He's very attentive obviously, like he's able to absorb a lot.

1152
00:49:56,640 --> 00:49:58,520
Speaker 13: Uh, is what I've noticed kind of what stands out

1153
00:49:58,640 --> 00:50:01,359
Speaker 13: playing multiple position, you know, throwing them in the fire,

1154
00:50:01,440 --> 00:50:04,160
Speaker 13: seeing how much it can handle, and not one point

1155
00:50:04,239 --> 00:50:07,000
Speaker 13: hasn't been too much for him. So uh, you know,

1156
00:50:07,120 --> 00:50:10,480
Speaker 13: I tell him every day, just keep working, taking one

1157
00:50:10,480 --> 00:50:13,400
Speaker 13: step at a time, and it all come together in

1158
00:50:13,719 --> 00:50:14,120
Speaker 13: this league.

1159
00:50:15,160 --> 00:50:19,800
Speaker 15: I don't think you need you deem it important.

1160
00:50:19,360 --> 00:50:23,960
Speaker 13: To Yeah, my position at the middle linebacker is going

1161
00:50:24,040 --> 00:50:27,240
Speaker 13: to be you know, is a natural leadership position. Somebody

1162
00:50:27,320 --> 00:50:29,760
Speaker 13: calling the plays natural leadership position. I think it's important

1163
00:50:29,760 --> 00:50:32,160
Speaker 13: for me to be around. Every team is different, right.

1164
00:50:32,200 --> 00:50:34,919
Speaker 13: We got new faces, new guys, young guys, uh, older

1165
00:50:34,960 --> 00:50:37,640
Speaker 13: guys that I've seen before that I've never met. I

1166
00:50:37,680 --> 00:50:39,320
Speaker 13: think it's important to be out here and get to

1167
00:50:39,400 --> 00:50:41,800
Speaker 13: know them and and just be a part of the

1168
00:50:41,880 --> 00:50:43,719
Speaker 13: locker room, you know, if you miss it when you're

1169
00:50:43,760 --> 00:50:45,440
Speaker 13: when you're away, when you're home. It's one thing to

1170
00:50:45,520 --> 00:50:48,239
Speaker 13: be to be at home with kids and and you know,

1171
00:50:48,360 --> 00:50:50,040
Speaker 13: doing the whole dad thing. But it's another thing to

1172
00:50:50,120 --> 00:50:52,080
Speaker 13: be out here with with some some of your peers

1173
00:50:52,080 --> 00:50:53,920
Speaker 13: and having a good time so much how much all

1174
00:50:53,960 --> 00:50:57,319
Speaker 13: doesn't matter that, No, I don't think. So everybody knows

1175
00:50:57,360 --> 00:50:59,440
Speaker 13: Miles is work ethic and who he is on the

1176
00:50:59,480 --> 00:51:02,080
Speaker 13: field and how hard uh. You know he goes every

1177
00:51:02,080 --> 00:51:04,600
Speaker 13: single snap, So Miles to show up when he's when

1178
00:51:04,600 --> 00:51:06,520
Speaker 13: he's needed, man, and he you know he's when he does.

1179
00:51:06,760 --> 00:51:08,239
Speaker 13: You know it's gonna be It's gonna be a lot

1180
00:51:08,239 --> 00:51:09,399
Speaker 13: of fun for me, that's for sure.

1181
00:51:09,600 --> 00:51:10,359
Speaker 8: What was going through your.

1182
00:51:10,320 --> 00:51:13,360
Speaker 15: Mind during this whole off season? And Miles plus the

1183
00:51:13,400 --> 00:51:15,640
Speaker 15: trade signs the Eccentia you're paying attention to that.

1184
00:51:15,840 --> 00:51:16,719
Speaker 8: Or you hear it?

1185
00:51:16,960 --> 00:51:17,400
Speaker 9: You hear it.

1186
00:51:18,440 --> 00:51:20,960
Speaker 13: I've been around long enough to know everything works out

1187
00:51:21,040 --> 00:51:22,759
Speaker 13: the way it's opposed to for guys like that. And

1188
00:51:23,800 --> 00:51:25,279
Speaker 13: it was happy for him when it all, when it

1189
00:51:25,360 --> 00:51:28,040
Speaker 13: all did you know? And and obviously me coming back

1190
00:51:28,160 --> 00:51:30,840
Speaker 13: is exciting to have him here, right. It makes my

1191
00:51:30,960 --> 00:51:31,640
Speaker 13: job a lot easier.

1192
00:51:33,760 --> 00:51:37,360
Speaker 7: I did not know when we got into Jim Schwartz

1193
00:51:37,480 --> 00:51:39,960
Speaker 7: earlier and about what takes to get back to.

1194
00:51:41,960 --> 00:51:44,880
Speaker 4: But more takeaways.

1195
00:51:44,920 --> 00:51:47,680
Speaker 8: How do you guys get more fumble recovers?

1196
00:51:47,719 --> 00:51:51,120
Speaker 13: And yeah, it's the first thing you gotta do is

1197
00:51:51,160 --> 00:51:54,799
Speaker 13: emphasize it and practice. And that's it's been done. We've

1198
00:51:54,800 --> 00:51:57,160
Speaker 13: started every since I've been here, every practice with a

1199
00:51:57,200 --> 00:51:59,040
Speaker 13: turnover circuit, just focusing on it.

1200
00:51:59,560 --> 00:51:59,680
Speaker 12: Uh.

1201
00:51:59,800 --> 00:52:02,879
Speaker 13: And then you know, recognizing opportunities going in the film room,

1202
00:52:03,080 --> 00:52:05,920
Speaker 13: seeing opportunities where we could have made it, you know,

1203
00:52:06,080 --> 00:52:08,319
Speaker 13: seeing opportunities when we didn't even didn't even take.

1204
00:52:08,200 --> 00:52:08,799
Speaker 14: A shot at the ball.

1205
00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:09,120
Speaker 2: Right.

1206
00:52:09,239 --> 00:52:12,160
Speaker 13: So, Uh, I think it's bringing it to the forefront

1207
00:52:12,200 --> 00:52:15,000
Speaker 13: of your mind, understanding how important it is and how

1208
00:52:15,080 --> 00:52:17,920
Speaker 13: game changing it is to get a takeaway, and then

1209
00:52:18,120 --> 00:52:20,360
Speaker 13: you know, just being able to compete with our offense

1210
00:52:20,400 --> 00:52:22,279
Speaker 13: and be able to to put it into action.

1211
00:52:24,200 --> 00:52:27,560
Speaker 2: He compared himself. He said to last game after earlier

1212
00:52:27,680 --> 00:52:29,000
Speaker 2: saw season was ja.

1213
00:52:29,640 --> 00:52:33,480
Speaker 9: Yeah, not to say he has to fill his shoes shoes,

1214
00:52:33,520 --> 00:52:35,239
Speaker 9: but do you sort of see that in.

1215
00:52:35,320 --> 00:52:36,480
Speaker 10: This game, like that same style.

1216
00:52:37,520 --> 00:52:40,360
Speaker 13: Yeah, you see his natural ability to just be in

1217
00:52:40,440 --> 00:52:42,399
Speaker 13: the right spot at the right time.

1218
00:52:43,520 --> 00:52:44,640
Speaker 14: He reads things fast.

1219
00:52:45,400 --> 00:52:48,480
Speaker 13: Uh, you know, his ability to get downhill, especially in

1220
00:52:48,560 --> 00:52:51,560
Speaker 13: this type of defense for a linebacker is needed and

1221
00:52:51,640 --> 00:52:52,360
Speaker 13: he's able to do that.

1222
00:52:53,680 --> 00:52:53,879
Speaker 6: Yeah.

1223
00:52:53,920 --> 00:52:55,959
Speaker 13: I think for him it's just getting comfortable. Any rookie

1224
00:52:56,000 --> 00:52:58,400
Speaker 13: that comes in right, the speed of the game, the

1225
00:52:58,480 --> 00:53:01,200
Speaker 13: speed of of having to see things move and making

1226
00:53:01,200 --> 00:53:03,839
Speaker 13: sure you're always in the right spot. You know, that's

1227
00:53:03,840 --> 00:53:06,000
Speaker 13: always the hardest part. So I think once the pads

1228
00:53:06,040 --> 00:53:08,800
Speaker 13: getting away, this is step one, step two, the pads

1229
00:53:08,840 --> 00:53:11,279
Speaker 13: come on right, and then live bullets and then you know,

1230
00:53:11,360 --> 00:53:14,920
Speaker 13: preseason come So uh, for for what he's been exposed to,

1231
00:53:15,040 --> 00:53:16,480
Speaker 13: what he's done, been asked to do, he's doing a

1232
00:53:16,520 --> 00:53:16,920
Speaker 13: great job.

1233
00:53:17,120 --> 00:53:18,040
Speaker 1: How good is a feel for you?

1234
00:53:18,280 --> 00:53:21,760
Speaker 7: Coming fully healthy, you know, just being able.

1235
00:53:21,600 --> 00:53:24,640
Speaker 13: To put your best before Yeah, coming off of off

1236
00:53:24,680 --> 00:53:27,920
Speaker 13: seasons of being able to just stack the workouts and

1237
00:53:28,120 --> 00:53:28,960
Speaker 13: and everything together.

1238
00:53:30,080 --> 00:53:30,600
Speaker 4: It's huge.

1239
00:53:31,000 --> 00:53:31,120
Speaker 2: Uh.

1240
00:53:32,520 --> 00:53:35,520
Speaker 13: You know, I turned thirty three in less than a month, Right,

1241
00:53:36,160 --> 00:53:38,200
Speaker 13: It's exciting to be out here with young guys and

1242
00:53:38,520 --> 00:53:40,200
Speaker 13: still be able to to make plays and.

1243
00:53:41,880 --> 00:53:42,839
Speaker 14: You know, have fun.

1244
00:53:42,880 --> 00:53:44,680
Speaker 13: You don't, you don't take these moments for granted. So

1245
00:53:44,800 --> 00:53:46,960
Speaker 13: it feels good to be healthy obviously at my age

1246
00:53:46,960 --> 00:53:50,799
Speaker 13: for sure, going on for these young guys the team.

1247
00:53:53,080 --> 00:53:58,720
Speaker 14: Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's exciting. It's it's very exciting.

1248
00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:00,919
Speaker 13: It's obvious, right we've we've got a lot of talent,

1249
00:54:01,000 --> 00:54:03,839
Speaker 13: but talent will only take you so far. We gotta

1250
00:54:03,880 --> 00:54:05,880
Speaker 13: put it together. We gotta find our our strengths, to

1251
00:54:05,880 --> 00:54:10,040
Speaker 13: find our identity, you know. And that's building the framework

1252
00:54:10,080 --> 00:54:12,840
Speaker 13: of that right now. And and obviously training camp is

1253
00:54:12,840 --> 00:54:15,440
Speaker 13: gonna be a huge part of that. But you know,

1254
00:54:15,520 --> 00:54:17,480
Speaker 13: I I think you look on paper, you look at

1255
00:54:17,520 --> 00:54:19,800
Speaker 13: the the talent that we have, the scheme, the the

1256
00:54:20,000 --> 00:54:23,120
Speaker 13: knowledge in the scheme from year after year. Uh, I

1257
00:54:23,360 --> 00:54:26,799
Speaker 13: think it all adds up to a favorable situation for us.

1258
00:54:26,840 --> 00:54:27,719
Speaker 14: We just have to put it together.

1259
00:54:27,840 --> 00:54:30,640
Speaker 16: Somebody like It's it's obvious the impact he has on

1260
00:54:30,760 --> 00:54:32,960
Speaker 16: somebody like Miles where he's drawing sure attention.

1261
00:54:32,760 --> 00:54:34,239
Speaker 11: It takes a month of him, But what does he

1262
00:54:34,280 --> 00:54:35,600
Speaker 11: also bring for you guys.

1263
00:54:35,440 --> 00:54:36,279
Speaker 10: At the linebacker level?

1264
00:54:36,360 --> 00:54:37,640
Speaker 8: Being somebody who can sort of know.

1265
00:54:37,800 --> 00:54:39,120
Speaker 10: Eat up space space, take on.

1266
00:54:39,160 --> 00:54:39,719
Speaker 11: Over the walk.

1267
00:54:40,000 --> 00:54:43,160
Speaker 13: Yeah yeah, yeah, in tier helps I mean the whole

1268
00:54:43,200 --> 00:54:45,720
Speaker 13: D line, right, but if you have somebody like Miles,

1269
00:54:45,880 --> 00:54:48,319
Speaker 13: obviously they gotta bring attention to him. You know, if

1270
00:54:48,360 --> 00:54:50,080
Speaker 13: you have somebody else, that just adds a whole another

1271
00:54:50,160 --> 00:54:50,600
Speaker 13: layer to it.

1272
00:54:51,160 --> 00:54:51,279
Speaker 16: Uh.

1273
00:54:51,920 --> 00:54:54,680
Speaker 13: You know, being disruptive at any position on the D

1274
00:54:54,840 --> 00:54:58,719
Speaker 13: line helps a linebacker, just simple, simple as that, right,

1275
00:54:58,920 --> 00:55:03,160
Speaker 13: And so h yeah, it's it's fun to play behind

1276
00:55:03,840 --> 00:55:05,480
Speaker 13: defensive lines that are disruptive like that.

1277
00:55:05,680 --> 00:55:07,800
Speaker 2: Probably there's gonna be a lot of snaps if the

1278
00:55:08,280 --> 00:55:10,640
Speaker 2: season you and sweating line back.

1279
00:55:12,560 --> 00:55:16,920
Speaker 14: Thanks, it's not a question, that's a question for Schwartz.

1280
00:55:17,000 --> 00:55:21,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, what what I'm getting? Yeah, uh, it just just

1281
00:55:21,920 --> 00:55:22,320
Speaker 4: just said this.

1282
00:55:22,480 --> 00:55:25,440
Speaker 13: It's a he's he's a guy that you know, has

1283
00:55:25,480 --> 00:55:28,440
Speaker 13: been asked to do more than the majority of rookies. Uh,

1284
00:55:28,680 --> 00:55:30,839
Speaker 13: and nothing has been too big for him so far, right,

1285
00:55:31,200 --> 00:55:35,720
Speaker 13: playing Mike playing will you know, bouncing around, making calls,

1286
00:55:36,000 --> 00:55:37,719
Speaker 13: you know, sett in the fronts, doing different stuff. And

1287
00:55:37,800 --> 00:55:40,239
Speaker 13: that's you know, as a rookie and stand in front

1288
00:55:40,239 --> 00:55:41,880
Speaker 13: of having somebody like Obo in front of you, right

1289
00:55:41,960 --> 00:55:43,880
Speaker 13: that you got to man up and tell him with

1290
00:55:43,960 --> 00:55:45,800
Speaker 13: the with a strong voice right where where to go

1291
00:55:46,400 --> 00:55:48,480
Speaker 13: UH can be intimidating. He's done a great job and

1292
00:55:48,800 --> 00:55:50,719
Speaker 13: it's the moment. It's not been too big for him

1293
00:55:50,719 --> 00:55:50,960
