The next 0:00:11.840 --> 0:00:14.480 big item on the docket is training camp, which starts 0:00:15.000 --> 0:00:17.600 later next month. Now, the big news for the Ravens 0:00:17.640 --> 0:00:21.400 today was the addition of cornerback Jaiyear Alexander. The Ravens 0:00:21.440 --> 0:00:24.640 signed the former Packers two time pro bowler. And head 0:00:24.640 --> 0:00:27.280 coach John Harbwall talked after practice about what the addition 0:00:27.360 --> 0:00:30.640 of Alexander means for this team. 0:00:30.840 --> 0:00:34.000 Okay, good seeing everybody here, appreciate you being here. Crazy 0:00:34.040 --> 0:00:37.040 weather outside, well now it's nice, but it wasn't before. 0:00:37.520 --> 0:00:39.159 And so we came inside and I thought we had 0:00:39.200 --> 0:00:42.839 an excellent practice. Guys are really locked in trying to 0:00:43.520 --> 0:00:45.879 try to do everything right, so you appreciate that. As 0:00:45.880 --> 0:00:48.600 a coach. It was fast and it was pretty sharp. 0:00:49.159 --> 0:00:52.599 So that's it for this phase. I kind of look 0:00:52.600 --> 0:00:55.000 at mini camp like the start of training camp. You know, 0:00:55.040 --> 0:00:57.960 it's the first mandatory type of deal. We'll pick this 0:00:58.120 --> 0:01:00.959 up then in a few weeks start training camp when 0:01:00.960 --> 0:01:03.200 the rookies come back in the rookies will have one 0:01:03.280 --> 0:01:06.760 more week here of conditioning, strength and conditioning, so they'll 0:01:06.800 --> 0:01:10.319 get that done and and we'll be moving on into 0:01:10.319 --> 0:01:13.160 the season. Guys will get away a little bit, uh, 0:01:13.319 --> 0:01:15.200 take care of their take care of their job. They 0:01:15.319 --> 0:01:16.759 come back in the best shape of their life, take 0:01:16.800 --> 0:01:19.440 care of their family or their family's needs, and take 0:01:19.480 --> 0:01:21.840 care of their own needs and and then be ready 0:01:21.840 --> 0:01:23.720 to go. What questions you have. 0:01:24.840 --> 0:01:30.280 The addition of trays out, well, just. 0:01:30.200 --> 0:01:32.440 Really excited about it. Had a chance to you know, 0:01:32.480 --> 0:01:36.679 sit down with them today, which was awesome, awesome, awesome time. 0:01:36.720 --> 0:01:38.640 And he's he's excited to be here. We're excited to 0:01:38.640 --> 0:01:41.240 have him. He had been kind of behind the scenes 0:01:41.240 --> 0:01:43.720 in the works a little bit and uh, and I 0:01:43.760 --> 0:01:45.399 know we wanted to be here and we wanted him here, 0:01:45.440 --> 0:01:47.200 you know, So for it to work out the way 0:01:47.200 --> 0:01:50.280 it did made Lamar happy. You know, I think made 0:01:50.280 --> 0:01:53.080 everybody happy. It's just uh, an opportunity to become a 0:01:53.080 --> 0:01:56.280 better team in that sense today. So we're really excited 0:01:56.280 --> 0:01:57.120 about it. 0:02:00.040 --> 0:02:01.280 They're with the now works. 0:02:01.400 --> 0:02:03.920 Who's good timing, who's good timing. 0:02:05.400 --> 0:02:07.760 Of the last couple of questions about kind of what 0:02:07.880 --> 0:02:09.880 the new kickers, seeing how they would approach. 0:02:09.600 --> 0:02:11.880 Me and that besides has learned the other another. 0:02:11.639 --> 0:02:13.800 A few sessions in talking to the years that's seen hell, 0:02:13.880 --> 0:02:15.880 that fair is what have helped you kind of see 0:02:15.960 --> 0:02:18.200 that now that uncertas the. 0:02:18.160 --> 0:02:20.160 Provision right well, I think the biggest thing is to 0:02:20.240 --> 0:02:22.400 try to put them in tough situations as much as 0:02:22.400 --> 0:02:24.480 we can. I mean, there's there's the idea of the 0:02:24.880 --> 0:02:27.560 of the repetition, you know, and being able to replicate 0:02:27.600 --> 0:02:29.720 the swing, and Randy works that with those guys all 0:02:29.720 --> 0:02:31.919 the time. They're down there and and just putting the 0:02:32.320 --> 0:02:34.320 numbers up, you know, and those are all charted and 0:02:34.400 --> 0:02:37.120 graft and everything else. And and then you get into 0:02:37.120 --> 0:02:40.280 the situations and the team situations one thing. Then the 0:02:40.280 --> 0:02:42.800 the the the game scenarios are the next thing. They 0:02:42.840 --> 0:02:44.320 have to run out and make it like a make 0:02:44.360 --> 0:02:46.560 it like a game. Uh. Then they're working on some 0:02:46.600 --> 0:02:48.359 other things. I mean, both those guys are working on 0:02:48.760 --> 0:02:51.480 some trajectory things that you know, you don't really know about, 0:02:51.520 --> 0:02:53.600 but you know, they're trying to change the trajectory of 0:02:53.600 --> 0:02:56.440 the ball a little bit from what they've done. So uh, 0:02:56.680 --> 0:02:58.440 we get it where we want it to be, so 0:02:58.480 --> 0:03:01.160 it's a little more consistent and certain conditions and they've 0:03:01.200 --> 0:03:02.919 been working on that. So all those things I think 0:03:02.960 --> 0:03:05.200 add up and then the end result with all that 0:03:05.240 --> 0:03:07.840 going on has been really good. So a good solid 0:03:07.919 --> 0:03:10.079 job and again we'll pick it up in training camp. 0:03:10.240 --> 0:03:12.079 Does your special teams back on me, but kind of 0:03:12.080 --> 0:03:14.520 hope doesn't talking about on those about astor. 0:03:15.919 --> 0:03:17.679 Yeah, yeah, I'm the I'm the guy. I'm the guy 0:03:17.720 --> 0:03:21.079 that I'm the guy that pats on the shoulder and 0:03:21.120 --> 0:03:22.560 kicks him in the butt at the same time. So 0:03:22.800 --> 0:03:23.480 that's my job. 0:03:24.120 --> 0:03:28.520 What do you think when you've dealt with Tyler? You know, 0:03:28.520 --> 0:03:30.360 I've heard some guy his. 0:03:30.440 --> 0:03:32.200 Late consistency can just swing. 0:03:32.720 --> 0:03:35.280 Have you noticed that in what you see in this year. 0:03:35.480 --> 0:03:37.520 Yeah, he's a really good athlete. So he's got body 0:03:37.520 --> 0:03:40.400 control and he can he can he can he can 0:03:40.440 --> 0:03:44.160 make adjustments from a coaching point standpoint, and and Soak 0:03:44.200 --> 0:03:45.760 and John they're both doing a good job with that 0:03:46.200 --> 0:03:48.160 and actually pick it up really quick. He's just kind 0:03:48.160 --> 0:03:50.120 of a natural athlete, so he picking it up quick. 0:03:50.280 --> 0:03:51.760 Now it's just a matter of doing it over and 0:03:51.800 --> 0:03:54.400 over again. Uh. And he's yeah, he's done a good 0:03:54.440 --> 0:03:56.800 job with that lot of you know. 0:03:57.000 --> 0:03:58.840 He think I'm kind of a veterans of coming up 0:03:58.880 --> 0:03:59.560 from a one year. 0:03:59.520 --> 0:04:01.760 Deals tell the technical because. 0:04:03.200 --> 0:04:05.760 I guess how easy occasions is for you as a 0:04:05.880 --> 0:04:08.040 coach to have those guys had experience. 0:04:07.600 --> 0:04:09.520 When as a Gandre Adell now. 0:04:09.480 --> 0:04:12.200 Jai Year that really just come in and similar to 0:04:12.240 --> 0:04:15.680 themselves in other culture.

That's the number one thing, you know. 0:04:20.240 --> 0:04:23.280 I think I believe that guys understand kind of what 0:04:23.400 --> 0:04:27.600 we're about, the organization, that the culture of the program. 0:04:28.400 --> 0:04:28.520 Uh. 0:04:28.920 --> 0:04:31.880 And they're the kind of guys that see themselves in that, 0:04:32.240 --> 0:04:34.080 you know. That's that's how they see themselves as a 0:04:34.160 --> 0:04:37.360 raven so to speak. And you see DeAndre and how 0:04:37.400 --> 0:04:40.000 he's been with it, He's been phenomenal, you know, and 0:04:40.240 --> 0:04:43.080 you guys watching in practice, I would say I expect 0:04:43.080 --> 0:04:45.840 the same thing from from Jaire. That's kind of the 0:04:45.920 --> 0:04:48.760 conversation that we had today. And it's if it's the 0:04:48.880 --> 0:04:51.640 right guy, Like, if you like football and you love 0:04:51.680 --> 0:04:53.400 everything about football, you're gonna you're gonna like it here. 0:04:53.400 --> 0:04:55.480 You're gonna be happy, you know, if if a guy 0:04:55.640 --> 0:04:58.360 doesn't really feel that way, you know, it's probably best 0:04:58.440 --> 0:05:01.160 he somewhere else. So these guys have all been those 0:05:01.200 --> 0:05:01.680 kind of guys. 0:05:03.080 --> 0:05:04.800 You've got to see more of some us. He came 0:05:05.560 --> 0:05:07.880 on the defense from some of the injury issues guys 0:05:07.880 --> 0:05:09.360 that haven't in the secondary. What do you see from 0:05:09.440 --> 0:05:11.520 him coming and going into a year two? 0:05:11.520 --> 0:05:11.960 What you said? 0:05:12.000 --> 0:05:13.760 I think he said really good off season. You know, 0:05:13.800 --> 0:05:15.760 the OTAs have been really good. He's gotten better every 0:05:15.839 --> 0:05:18.719 day and and and uh, and the last two practices 0:05:18.760 --> 0:05:20.800 have been very good. So I mean you watching him 0:05:20.800 --> 0:05:22.800 out here, I think you see it. Yeah, he's looked 0:05:22.839 --> 0:05:26.840 really good. He looked like they made the stride. 0:05:26.880 --> 0:05:29.440 She looks like what he's to gas, what he wants 0:05:29.480 --> 0:05:29.600 to do? 0:05:30.480 --> 0:05:32.560 Well, I saw it catch on the sideline. That was spectacular. 0:05:32.720 --> 0:05:37.320 That was pretty awesome.

John. 0:05:59.120 --> 0:06:00.680 Zach is a guy. 0:06:00.600 --> 0:06:08.200 Honestly in the communities out over, curious, respected to heart 0:06:08.240 --> 0:06:13.120 and see grow from thing. What do you think of 0:06:13.160 --> 0:06:16.840 the biggest difference when the gales in that for pH 0:06:16.920 --> 0:06:17.400 from your. 0:06:17.400 --> 0:06:20.840 One team too well, I mean, you know, Zack is 0:06:20.839 --> 0:06:24.040 a guy that I watch him every day. I think 0:06:24.200 --> 0:06:26.360 I know he's doing a great job day to day 0:06:26.400 --> 0:06:30.480 with a with coaching, with all the aspects of that job. 0:06:30.520 --> 0:06:33.360 It's a big job being the defensive coordinator. And he's done. 0:06:33.520 --> 0:06:35.480 He does it really well every day. I'll watch him 0:06:35.520 --> 0:06:40.240 every day and so not surprised at all by it. 0:06:40.320 --> 0:06:43.280 I mean kind of expected it, definitely expected it. So 0:06:43.800 --> 0:06:47.000 but we all grow get better, see things you learn from, 0:06:47.360 --> 0:06:52.000 learn from you know, successes and and and uh failures, 0:06:52.080 --> 0:06:54.719 you know, and Zach's great about that. He's very humble, 0:06:55.680 --> 0:07:00.280 good combination of humility and confidence, very very very charismatic guy, 0:07:00.760 --> 0:07:03.760 really smart, good teacher. All those things that I knew, 0:07:04.279 --> 0:07:05.600 and you see it every day. 0:07:06.800 --> 0:07:10.040 Jas spend a couple of months ago from them. Yeah, 0:07:10.080 --> 0:07:12.960 that's serve inside of what part of the toss the 0:07:13.040 --> 0:07:14.240 floor and the package. 0:07:14.240 --> 0:07:15.240 General manager talked. 0:07:15.080 --> 0:07:17.240 About how it open, he was maybe maintain. Can you 0:07:17.360 --> 0:07:19.120 talk about that at all during the suminal? 0:07:19.200 --> 0:07:20.680 And do you remember that? 0:07:20.920 --> 0:07:22.560 And how do you expect him to kind of play 0:07:22.880 --> 0:07:23.600 to pross there? 0:07:23.840 --> 0:07:26.000 I really don't remember it, I guess, I guess now 0:07:26.040 --> 0:07:28.560 that you mentioned it, now I remember it. I've forgotten 0:07:28.600 --> 0:07:32.520 about it. Uh and uh no, it's not part of 0:07:32.560 --> 0:07:33.520 our conversation at all. 0:07:34.440 --> 0:07:38.760 When you have especially doctosition on a corner in a 0:07:38.800 --> 0:07:41.000 big I need everybody on the kinds play a little 0:07:41.000 --> 0:07:43.240 pla when you have corners, And how couldn't it's that 0:07:43.520 --> 0:07:45.440 just I mean as a boom to blox for defense. 0:07:45.920 --> 0:07:48.640 Well, yeah, when you've got corners, you don't have to 0:07:48.680 --> 0:07:50.720 worry about your corners, you know, And it's kind of 0:07:50.720 --> 0:07:53.000 a big deal because a lot of players are made 0:07:53.000 --> 0:07:55.840 out there on that red line, on that outside part 0:07:55.880 --> 0:07:57.640 of the outside third part of the field. You know, 0:07:57.760 --> 0:07:59.600 that's that's an area of the field that really needs 0:07:59.600 --> 0:08:02.120 to be defend. And then you know they'll when you 0:08:02.160 --> 0:08:03.920 play man, they'll run all those crossing routes and all 0:08:03.920 --> 0:08:06.080 those pick routes, and you guys that can keep up 0:08:06.120 --> 0:08:09.120 with that stuff. So just give you more options, you know, 0:08:09.240 --> 0:08:12.600 with your with your defensive play calls. So yeah, that's 0:08:12.640 --> 0:08:14.840 a good thing. I mean, I'm really really fired up 0:08:14.840 --> 0:08:16.320 about that. I mean, I think I thought we had 0:08:16.520 --> 0:08:20.240 an excellent bunch of corners yesterday, and we added one 0:08:20.320 --> 0:08:23.120 more excellent corner today, So it's that much better. 0:08:25.240 --> 0:08:28.160 You guys already have a playing in place for helping 0:08:28.240 --> 0:08:30.720 him get past some of these injurybos, but the development 0:08:30.760 --> 0:08:32.280 of it's always help. 0:08:32.200 --> 0:08:35.640 You guys have a product, hoping backs, you. 0:08:35.760 --> 0:08:38.920 Parse you through differents that they have plenty for. 0:08:40.000 --> 0:08:42.200 Definitely the same thing we do with our guys. I mean, 0:08:42.280 --> 0:08:44.440 you know, Cheetoh has been the same thing. We've had 0:08:44.480 --> 0:08:47.200 that same conversation, same question when he came in. It's 0:08:47.280 --> 0:08:50.200 very similar. Those two guys that are highly talented guys 0:08:50.280 --> 0:08:52.839 that have had to unfortunately deal with some injury woes, 0:08:52.920 --> 0:08:55.920 you know, and you know, obviously that's the upside for 0:08:56.040 --> 0:08:58.520 us that we want to get those guys healthy and 0:08:59.440 --> 0:09:02.080 rolling those You guys got the Commander of. 0:09:02.120 --> 0:09:03.720 Joy practice coming up later in the summer. 0:09:03.760 --> 0:09:05.560 How much are you you guys as a team looking 0:09:05.600 --> 0:09:06.719 forward to obviously. 0:09:06.400 --> 0:09:08.440 That breach it's very different from. 0:09:08.320 --> 0:09:10.000 What it was two years ago the last time you 0:09:10.080 --> 0:09:10.880 guys met up here. 0:09:11.040 --> 0:09:12.679 So how much are you guys look forward to that? 0:09:12.920 --> 0:09:14.880 Yeah, you know, right now we're probably not looking forward 0:09:14.920 --> 0:09:16.480 to it cause it's so far away and there's so 0:09:16.559 --> 0:09:18.679 much to go between then and now. I actually have 0:09:18.720 --> 0:09:21.120 the colts in here before that, so I would say 0:09:21.160 --> 0:09:24.880 first things first, but uh uh now is a no 0:09:25.040 --> 0:09:25.560 long term. 0:09:26.120 --> 0:09:26.240 Uh. 0:09:26.320 --> 0:09:27.920 I'm excited about it, you know. I'm excited to go 0:09:28.000 --> 0:09:30.480 down there to their place. I've never seen it, and 0:09:30.600 --> 0:09:33.240 I have so much respect for uh coach Quinn and 0:09:33.280 --> 0:09:35.240 the whole organization and the team and everything. What we 0:09:35.320 --> 0:09:38.040 played him last year, so we know what kind of 0:09:38.080 --> 0:09:41.160 team they are, so it'll help us be a better team. Joll. 0:09:41.240 --> 0:09:46.000 No, everybody gets argued seven talks years areas ever? You 0:09:46.120 --> 0:09:48.400 still every still on craft for bringing. 0:09:48.240 --> 0:09:49.160 Camp as far as them. 0:09:49.360 --> 0:09:51.439 Yeah, in training camp, I think at some point, you know, 0:09:51.480 --> 0:09:54.720 I wouldn't. I wouldn't couldn't promise the start training camp. Uh. 0:09:54.800 --> 0:09:56.839 With that the the timeline of that, wouldn't say the 0:09:56.920 --> 0:10:00.920 start training camp unless he does something miraculous. But I'm 0:10:01.040 --> 0:10:03.360 hopeful at some point in time in training camp we 0:10:03.440 --> 0:10:05.520 see him John, I guess. 0:10:05.360 --> 0:10:07.880 Say it's you talking about his names and Lamar. 0:10:07.679 --> 0:10:09.400 Who is still improved to buy a lot of one 0:10:09.440 --> 0:10:11.240 of the best seasons quarterback last year. 0:10:11.240 --> 0:10:13.120 I guess can see the days that you've served here, 0:10:13.840 --> 0:10:15.559 what have you seen different come here and the what 0:10:15.679 --> 0:10:16.720 did you work to see if. 0:10:16.640 --> 0:10:17.679 You want to see it. 0:10:17.920 --> 0:10:20.360 Yeah, it's again, it's it's it's just across the board 0:10:20.440 --> 0:10:22.719 growth probably that he probably would talk about as well. 0:10:23.120 --> 0:10:24.680 I mean, I see him, I see him. He's throwing 0:10:24.720 --> 0:10:27.400 the ball great. You know, he's making he really has 0:10:27.440 --> 0:10:29.520 a really good grasp of the offense and that's only 0:10:29.559 --> 0:10:31.040 going to get better the more reps he gets. But 0:10:32.040 --> 0:10:34.400 I think he you know, I'm I'm really when he 0:10:34.480 --> 0:10:36.640 comes out here and he's practicing the last two days, 0:10:36.840 --> 0:10:38.400 I'm really glad he's our quarterback. 0:10:38.440 --> 0:10:38.559 You know. 0:10:38.600 --> 0:10:41.719 It makes me really happy, makes me smile inside, you know. 0:10:41.840 --> 0:10:44.439 And I think it's a good room. You know, those 0:10:44.440 --> 0:10:46.079 guys have done a great job, all three of those 0:10:46.120 --> 0:10:49.599 guys with t and Daniel, So you know, we just 0:10:49.640 --> 0:10:51.559 got to go to work and and uh and just 0:10:51.679 --> 0:10:55.760 keep improving. It's really not so much about Lamar or 0:10:56.040 --> 0:10:59.120 any individual player. They work on their craft, but for 0:10:59.240 --> 0:11:01.400 me as a coach, it's all fits together. So the 0:11:02.000 --> 0:11:04.400 whole offense, the whole defense, the whole special teams, the 0:11:04.440 --> 0:11:07.320 whole team. You know, you kind of see that moving forward. 0:11:08.040 --> 0:11:10.240 If you look at the offensive line going into camp, 0:11:10.320 --> 0:11:13.120 do you see both of the guard jobs as open 0:11:13.520 --> 0:11:16.480 competitions to start or more on one side. 0:11:16.320 --> 0:11:18.079 Than the other or yeah, I mean I don't know. 0:11:18.320 --> 0:11:20.240 Kind of asking me to like like put it on 0:11:20.280 --> 0:11:23.520 the scale. I mean, you know, in one sense, you know, 0:11:23.720 --> 0:11:25.640 every job is open, you know. I mean, you never 0:11:25.720 --> 0:11:27.680 know what's going to happen the next day. You've got 0:11:27.760 --> 0:11:32.319 to be ready for every possibility. So in competition is 0:11:32.360 --> 0:11:34.079 what the NFL is all about, you know, It's what 0:11:34.160 --> 0:11:37.080 any it's what sports is all about. Competition. So everybody's 0:11:37.080 --> 0:11:39.520 always competing every day. But those are those are two 0:11:39.559 --> 0:11:42.320 of the positions that are you know that I kind 0:11:42.360 --> 0:11:44.079 of think I got a pretty good idea that the 0:11:44.160 --> 0:11:46.520 guys that you saw out there today are in the lead, 0:11:46.840 --> 0:11:49.240 you know, and they've especially a Daniel you know, he 0:11:49.320 --> 0:11:51.120 had the most experienced last year. So he did a 0:11:51.200 --> 0:11:54.160 nice job, really played well as the season went on, 0:11:54.760 --> 0:11:59.120 and then you know when when the vore, he's got 0:11:59.160 --> 0:12:00.800 his chance. I mean he looked really good too. In 0:12:00.880 --> 0:12:03.000 that one game in the Browns game. So but you 0:12:03.080 --> 0:12:05.280 know they both they know they gotta play well. You 0:12:05.360 --> 0:12:07.959 know they'll be standard, will be very high, but we 0:12:08.080 --> 0:12:09.719 expect them to play up to it. 0:12:10.120 --> 0:12:13.319 You do two more, John, think you guys are already 0:12:14.280 --> 0:12:18.160 past your man already hell and Alexampis Hicks or anything 0:12:18.240 --> 0:12:21.040 to kind out the type of close rounds team. 0:12:21.640 --> 0:12:23.440 What do you kind of how did you send all 0:12:23.520 --> 0:12:23.679 this to? 0:12:23.840 --> 0:12:25.920 You know, what do you want them to how you 0:12:25.920 --> 0:12:28.520 want them to approach the actification for the pressure? 0:12:28.720 --> 0:12:30.280 You want to hook the round as you guys have 0:12:30.679 --> 0:12:31.120 this hypness. 0:12:31.440 --> 0:12:33.240 Yeah, well they say pressure is a privilege. I think 0:12:33.240 --> 0:12:36.160 the US open right. We said that Billy is it 0:12:36.200 --> 0:12:40.440 Billy Jean King? You said that anybody anybody pretty sure 0:12:40.520 --> 0:12:43.240 is Billy Jean King? So what's that. 0:12:45.240 --> 0:12:45.320 Now? 0:12:45.440 --> 0:12:47.080 But it could have been, It could have been. As 0:12:47.120 --> 0:12:47.840 I say, You're right. 0:12:48.360 --> 0:12:52.400 The we are we are, we are. 0:12:52.760 --> 0:12:56.559 We are locked in doing everything we can possibly do 0:12:56.720 --> 0:12:59.240 to being, you know, to be the very best football 0:12:59.240 --> 0:13:03.000 team we can be with intentionality and with purpose. That 0:13:03.440 --> 0:13:05.480 is what we are doing. And I see it. You 0:13:05.559 --> 0:13:08.599 guys watch practice, you know you should be seeing it 0:13:08.640 --> 0:13:11.199 out here. I see it in practice. So where that 0:13:11.320 --> 0:13:12.840 leads us is going to be where it leads us, 0:13:13.280 --> 0:13:16.079 and we've got to take care of the process and 0:13:16.480 --> 0:13:18.360 it's our job to make it happens. Now what you say, 0:13:18.880 --> 0:13:21.520 it's not anything other than what you do, you know, 0:13:21.640 --> 0:13:24.679 And I see the guys doing it every day and 0:13:24.800 --> 0:13:26.120 I can't wait for the next day. 0:13:27.600 --> 0:13:31.319 Consistent kind of this season with this group, or so 0:13:31.480 --> 0:13:33.160 the lore of the past couple of seasons, or is 0:13:33.200 --> 0:13:36.599 it rare to feel that way at this point that 0:13:36.720 --> 0:13:38.599 you are so locked in before. 0:13:38.360 --> 0:13:39.240 Even canvas years. 0:13:39.800 --> 0:13:41.720 Yeah, that's a great question. I mean, it's a consistent 0:13:41.800 --> 0:13:45.439 principle for us. It's what we believe in and it's 0:13:45.440 --> 0:13:46.320 what we emphasize. 0:13:46.559 --> 0:13:48.880 But I do see it in this group, you know. 0:13:49.080 --> 0:13:51.800 I can't really compare it. You kind of forget, you know, 0:13:52.000 --> 0:13:54.600 but I see it right now in this group at 0:13:54.600 --> 0:13:58.079 a really, really high level. And that that, you know, 0:13:58.160 --> 0:14:01.240 that's what you want to see as a coach. All right, guys, 0:14:01.320 --> 0:14:01.559 thank you. 0:14:04.760 --> 0:14:07.560 We also heard from other players in the secondary, including 0:14:07.800 --> 0:14:08.960 safety Kyle Hamilton. 0:14:15.400 --> 0:14:19.560 Yeah, kind of crazy. How fast that news broke, He 0:14:19.920 --> 0:14:24.000 shout out Anthony Miller. He's requested that we were at 0:14:24.080 --> 0:14:28.680 lunch and we literally Lamar told us and five seconds 0:14:28.720 --> 0:14:31.760 later we see it on Pat McFee show, So that's crazy, 0:14:31.880 --> 0:14:35.120 but great addition. I mean, he's been one of the 0:14:35.160 --> 0:14:36.680 best in this league since he got in it. And 0:14:37.400 --> 0:14:40.160 to have anybody like that, no matter what position room was, 0:14:40.240 --> 0:14:43.680 especially as a dB, it's a super valuable And I'm 0:14:43.680 --> 0:14:45.440 super out of breath because we literally just finished practice, 0:14:45.480 --> 0:14:47.640 but excited to have him. Been talking to him a lot. 0:14:47.760 --> 0:14:51.040 Cool dude, I mean, I love that. 0:14:51.440 --> 0:14:52.720 Another another. 0:14:59.480 --> 0:14:59.920 What is that. 0:15:01.640 --> 0:15:02.360 Punch ability? 0:15:03.360 --> 0:15:07.840 Yeah, I think somebody I think it might have been aussy. 0:15:08.360 --> 0:15:10.200 I think he said you can never have too many dbs. 0:15:10.880 --> 0:15:14.080 And you know, I feel like every for every team 0:15:14.160 --> 0:15:15.600 at some point in the year, it seems like everybody's 0:15:15.600 --> 0:15:18.480 staying at dB and you know, to just add a 0:15:18.520 --> 0:15:20.120 guy like that into a room kind of what I 0:15:20.200 --> 0:15:22.640 was saying, like, not not only his play but his energy, 0:15:23.200 --> 0:15:27.680 his charisma is just leadership ball knowledge. It's uh, it's 0:15:27.720 --> 0:15:29.600 gonna be great to have in the room. And decided 0:15:29.640 --> 0:15:31.800 to get in acclimated and everything seems super eager to 0:15:31.840 --> 0:15:33.880 get in the playbook and stuff. So we're all excited 0:15:33.880 --> 0:15:34.720 to have him going into camp. 0:15:39.000 --> 0:15:45.480 Uh. Roster wise, ye literally have no homes a competition. 0:15:47.280 --> 0:15:50.240 Yeah, I think I think people kind of play into 0:15:50.320 --> 0:15:53.880 the you know, every off season, there's some moves made, 0:15:54.040 --> 0:15:55.920 and I think people read a little bit too much 0:15:55.920 --> 0:15:58.040 into I think we still have our guys here and uh, 0:15:58.200 --> 0:16:00.080 we got a lot of talent that we retained and 0:16:00.200 --> 0:16:02.520 brought in obviously, just got you out here. But I 0:16:02.640 --> 0:16:04.560 was just talking to coach har Ball, like just these 0:16:04.640 --> 0:16:06.960 two days, you can kind of see the trajectory that 0:16:07.040 --> 0:16:09.200 we think we're on. And still a lot of work 0:16:09.200 --> 0:16:11.280 to be done obviously and going to continue throughout the season. 0:16:11.360 --> 0:16:13.640 But I mean we're off to a great start. Seems 0:16:13.640 --> 0:16:15.600 like we're playing twelve on eleven out there. Sometimes no 0:16:15.600 --> 0:16:17.760 offense to the offense, but they'll probably have a different 0:16:17.760 --> 0:16:19.960 answer to that. But I think we're clicking really well 0:16:20.040 --> 0:16:22.080 right now. Just clean up the little mistakes. 0:16:25.480 --> 0:16:29.400 About Bill you know, you. 0:16:35.280 --> 0:16:35.880 No, not at all. 0:16:35.960 --> 0:16:38.800 I mean he's a Georgia boy, so he was in 0:16:38.880 --> 0:16:41.520 and when he was born not Bulldogs, but he was 0:16:41.560 --> 0:16:43.200 born in state. We don't care about the Bulldogs. But 0:16:44.160 --> 0:16:48.320 now he's super eager to learn and very mature for 0:16:48.400 --> 0:16:49.160 his age. I can tell. 0:16:49.560 --> 0:16:49.680 Uh. 0:16:50.080 --> 0:16:52.360 He just is a great dude, great football player, and 0:16:52.760 --> 0:16:54.560 excited for you all to see it on display this 0:16:54.760 --> 0:16:58.440 this season. Obviously sick about what happened to Ad and 0:16:59.640 --> 0:17:02.080 think of him, prayers for him, and uh, but I 0:17:02.160 --> 0:17:04.400 mean I thought that allows Malachota kind of he's gotta 0:17:04.400 --> 0:17:06.560 grow up quicker now. And but I think he's just 0:17:06.640 --> 0:17:08.720 the right guy for it. So I'm excited for him. 0:17:09.200 --> 0:17:11.080 He's gonna do very well with the opportunity. He's gonna 0:17:11.080 --> 0:17:11.600 have a great career. 0:17:12.400 --> 0:17:12.720 That's just. 0:17:17.760 --> 0:17:19.080 Doesn't matter, just that. 0:17:19.160 --> 0:17:22.840 Type of bread talent, you know, down type game. 0:17:24.359 --> 0:17:27.840 Yeah, I think that kind of comes with the added 0:17:27.880 --> 0:17:30.560 expectation that we welcome. I mean, obviously, like you said, 0:17:30.640 --> 0:17:33.640 nobody really cares that much on our side, what round 0:17:33.680 --> 0:17:35.800 you were taking. Obviously there's undrafted dudes in the league 0:17:35.840 --> 0:17:38.040 that make a make a big splash every year. But 0:17:38.320 --> 0:17:43.040 you know, to have everybody back there is talented, smart, 0:17:43.480 --> 0:17:46.680 hard worker. We really have no excuses to not go 0:17:46.760 --> 0:17:47.879 out there and do what we need to do. So 0:17:48.200 --> 0:17:49.359 it's all us at the end of the day, and 0:17:49.400 --> 0:17:52.000 pressure is the privilege, and I'm excited for us to 0:17:52.040 --> 0:17:52.680 have that privilege. 0:17:54.760 --> 0:18:04.000
