1
00:00:01,400 --> 00:00:03,120
Speaker 1: We're not getting ready, you know, I know it's not

00:00:03,279 --> 00:00:05,080
Speaker 1: game week yet, but just getting ready to put the

3
00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:08,039
Speaker 1: twe you guys. Uh yeah, I think this week's important,

4
00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:10,920
Speaker 1: you know, focus on on us and and make sure

5
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:13,760
Speaker 1: we're uh, we're locked in and ready to go. I think,

6
00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:17,200
Speaker 1: you know, obviously you understand who we're playing the first game,

7
00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:20,360
Speaker 1: but you know, Dave's made a point of, uh it

8
00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:23,320
Speaker 1: being about us this week, focusing on ourselves and uh,

9
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:25,759
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's another week of training camp and

10
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:27,440
Speaker 1: making sure we're ready to go, right.

11
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:30,159
Speaker 2: You know, conditions out there. It's pretty hot out there there.

12
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:32,880
Speaker 2: How's that going to help you down the road? Daylight today?

13
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was hot. You know, I think that helps

14
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:37,800
Speaker 1: early part of the season, playing at one o'clock, it's

15
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:40,519
Speaker 1: going to be hot. So yeah, good to get outside

16
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:41,639
Speaker 1: and practicing those conditions.

17
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 2: Is there anything different now that there maybe is a

18
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:47,560
Speaker 2: little tension cleared with the fifty three man and knowing

19
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:49,000
Speaker 2: who is going to be a part of this team

20
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:52,920
Speaker 2: and who is not Right now, I don't know.

21
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:55,320
Speaker 1: I don't know that much changes from a practice standpoint.

22
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 1: I think you know, every year, that's a tough day.

23
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:00,400
Speaker 1: You know, you get to know, uh, you know, a

24
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:02,440
Speaker 1: big group of guys and and go through training, go

25
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:04,080
Speaker 1: through the off season, go through training camp with him,

26
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:06,480
Speaker 1: and then that uh you know, the decisions have to

27
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 1: be made. So that's that's definitely, you know, always a

28
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 1: tough day, but you know, I'm excited. I'm excited about

29
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:14,479
Speaker 1: where we are and I thought we've had two good

30
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 1: days this week. We need another one tomorrow.

31
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:18,119
Speaker 2: I know you and Isaiah had a big connection obviously,

32
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 2: especially in that playoff game last year. He's still here

33
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 2: on part of part of the practice squad. Did you

34
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 2: exchange any words with him after the roster was announced?

35
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 1: Uh, yeah, we talked. I think, you know, I have

36

Speaker 1: a great deal of respect for him. Uh you know

37
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:34,400
Speaker 1: as a player, obviously he's played at a high level

38
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 1: for US these past couple of years. And then off

39

Speaker 1: being teammates with him.

43
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 2: Do you think this team right now is better than

44
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 2: the team that left the field last year?

45
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:56,560
Speaker 1: Obviously you weren't on. I think it's a team right now, Yeah,

46
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 1: I do think it's a better team. I think, uh,

47
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 1: I think we improved in number of areas. I think, uh,

48
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 1: you know, across the board. Yeah, we're better. We've had

49
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,359
Speaker 1: a good training camp and we're ready to go. I think,

50
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:11,359
Speaker 1: you know, it's always important to stay healthy and and

51
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:13,919

53
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:20,640
Speaker 1: And but yeah, I feel good about where we are.

54
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 2: About having your whole offensive line and tactical practice now.

55
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:26,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's good. Good to have all those guys out

56
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 1: there together. I think, you know, them playing together as

57
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:32,799
Speaker 1: much as possible is important, uh, building chemistry and communication

58
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:35,920
Speaker 1: and you know, all the things that go into you know,

59
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 1: playing well as a group. And and uh, they've done

60
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 1: a good job throughout training camp, you know, as guys

61
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 1: have been out you know still you know, spending time

62
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 1: together in meetings, getting reps in the walk through and communicating.

63
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,920
Speaker 1: So feel good about where we are, but definitely nice

64
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 1: to have them all out there. What about the wide

65
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:52,360
Speaker 1: receiver coort?

66
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 2: Do you feel like it's the best one you've been around.

67
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 1: Uh, yeah, I think we've got a lot of talented guys, uh,

68
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:01,399
Speaker 1: for sure. I think, you know a lot of guys

69
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 1: who can step up and make plays for us, and

70
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 1: guys who bring different skill sets to the table. So

71
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 1: I'm excited. I'm excited about the group of guys. I

72
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 1: think we got a lot of speed on the field

73
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:13,080
Speaker 1: and and uh, guys who can who can make plays.

74
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 1: So my job is to get it to them and

75
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:17,639
Speaker 1: let them, you know, do their thing.

76
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:20,079
Speaker 2: What does that mean for you?

77
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 1: I mean, as far as you know, do you have

78
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:25,359
Speaker 1: to be quicker or faster or more decisive?

79
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 2: You know what I mean?

80
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:30,640
Speaker 1: When you throw, you know, yeah, I think you know

81
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:33,360
Speaker 1: you're always always trying to get get the ball out

82
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 1: of your hands quicker, I think, regardless of who your

83
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 1: receivers are. I think in the NFL, you know the

84
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 1: you know, big challenge playing quarterbacks getting the ball out

85
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 1: your hands quickly, consistently distributing the ball and spreading you know,

86
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 1: spreading the field out. But when you have speed and

87
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 1: guys who can get behind the defense, it's important to

88
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 1: get it out there, let them go, and then you know,

89
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 1: horizontally to getting the ball in front of them, letting

90
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 1: them let them catch and run. A few days with

91
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 1: this complete line, but I guess how does it feel different?

92
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 1: What's different to you with them because there's a different

93
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 1: roper guys. Yeah, I think, you know, I think just

94
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 1: the you know, we got some veterans in there and

95
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 1: some older guys who played a lot of football, you know,

96
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:17,840
Speaker 1: in this league at a high level, and I think that,

97
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 1: you know, helps the communication with with everybody, you know,

98
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,159
Speaker 1: and I think every guy has done a good job

99
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:28,160
Speaker 1: stepping in and playing their role. So yeah, I mean,

100
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 1: I think just just practicing the communication at the line

101
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:35,279
Speaker 1: of scrimmage, seeing different looks together, communicating clearly, concisely, and

102
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 1: then getting on the same page. I think that's important.

103
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,280
Speaker 1: And you know, I'm a piece of that too. I've

104
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:42,919
Speaker 1: got to be good with my communication and making sure

105
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 1: we're we're all seeing it the same.

106
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 2: Daniel, the racial touchdowns intershiptions was really good. I mean,

107
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:54,719
Speaker 2: how do you challenge that?

108
00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:01,039
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I think, you know, I think protecting

109
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:05,240
Speaker 1: the ball is important, you know, I think that's always

110
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 1: been something I've focused on, something I've done well over

111
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 1: the years. So uh yeah, I'm you know, always trying

112
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 1: to protect the ball and and try to create plays,

113
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 1: explosive plays, And that doesn't mean we're gonna be cautious.

114
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:20,719
Speaker 1: I think we're gonna we're gonna take chances. But yeah,

115
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:24,600
Speaker 1: I've always placed the high importance on on protecting the ball.
