1 00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:04,720 Speaker 1: Good, good, none, So that feels great. 2 00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:09,320 Speaker 2: What we got your thoughts on kind of the interruption here, 3 00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:12,000 Speaker 2: but just not having the joint practices, is you get 4 00:00:12,039 --> 00:00:13,520 Speaker 2: ready for the final preseason year. 5 00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:17,000 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, mentally we were ready to go 6 00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:17,600 Speaker 1: to Tennessee. 7 00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:19,720 Speaker 3: We understood that it was going to be like a 8 00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:23,000 Speaker 3: like a two week type of deal. Uh. But with 9 00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:25,560 Speaker 3: the little hiccup in our plans and coming back here, 10 00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:27,560 Speaker 3: I think guys have a just as will. You know, 11 00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:30,000 Speaker 3: you can never complain when when you're sleeping in your 12 00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:33,280 Speaker 3: own bed. So I think guys are just taking advantage 13 00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:36,080 Speaker 3: of being here, taking advantage of being able to get 14 00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:38,159 Speaker 3: the proper treatment that we need to go out there 15 00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:41,120 Speaker 3: and play Friday, and really just staying locked in and 16 00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:42,040 Speaker 3: staying in the present. 17 00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:47,159 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, he was. He was on the plane with us. 18 00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:49,279 Speaker 3: He was able to get out the same night, and 19 00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:51,120 Speaker 3: you know, we've been checking in. I don't want to 20 00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:54,440 Speaker 3: give too much into it, but uh, he's recovering. 21 00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:58,600 Speaker 1: Your impressions of Zeke seeing him out here, it seemed 22 00:00:58,640 --> 00:00:59,760 Speaker 1: like today a lot more active. 23 00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:02,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean he look good. You could tell he's 24 00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:06,520 Speaker 3: a guy that's hungry. I mean that's kind of his thing. Right, So, uh, 25 00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:09,160 Speaker 3: you can really just tell that he's a guy that's 26 00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:13,600 Speaker 3: motivated and just wants to prove that he's still he's 27 00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:16,160 Speaker 3: still Z and I think he is, and it's been 28 00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:17,560 Speaker 3: fun to have him. He's just been a guy that 29 00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:20,600 Speaker 3: really wants to come in and learn what the culture 30 00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:24,560 Speaker 3: is here. He hasn't really tried to step on anybody's toes, 31 00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:26,720 Speaker 3: like he's not that type of player. He just first 32 00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:28,440 Speaker 3: thing he did was come in and say what's up 33 00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:31,520 Speaker 3: to everybody? And he wants to get to know everybody. 34 00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:33,240 Speaker 3: And he's just turning out to be a real good 35 00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:37,160 Speaker 3: teammate because he's literally just going around the locker room like, 36 00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:40,080 Speaker 3: well I met him. I met him in Green Bay 37 00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:43,240 Speaker 3: for the first time. Obviously we played against each other, 38 00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:44,840 Speaker 3: but I never really met him. So he came up 39 00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:47,000 Speaker 3: to the table green Bay, said what's up. You know, 40 00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:49,880 Speaker 3: we just chopped it up and talked about everything. So, 41 00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:52,680 Speaker 3: I mean, he's a he's a cool guy. 42 00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:55,080 Speaker 1: Sounds like like a new student at school. 43 00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:59,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, but it's it's like new student, but everybody know 44 00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:01,640 Speaker 3: type of you know what I'm saying. 45 00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:06,720 Speaker 1: Uh, it's not too awkward because it happens from tom 46 00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:07,000 Speaker 1: to time. 47 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:10,320 Speaker 3: When you get players from other team, whoever they whoever 48 00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:12,280 Speaker 3: they may be, like, you generally know a lot of 49 00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:12,720 Speaker 3: people in. 50 00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:14,480 Speaker 1: The league, so when they come to the team, it's 51 00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:17,600 Speaker 1: just like, hey, what's up, bro about his ability to 52 00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:18,360 Speaker 1: run between the tackle? 53 00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:21,120 Speaker 3: But it looks like you got as well with the 54 00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:23,399 Speaker 3: defensive back of what do you notice about it? 55 00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:24,200 Speaker 1: It was a pass catcher. 56 00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:25,640 Speaker 3: Uh. 57 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:30,160 Speaker 1: To be honest, I can't tell you too much. 58 00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:35,240 Speaker 3: About that, but I will say when you have a 59 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:37,880 Speaker 3: running back that's able to go go in the game, 60 00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:41,919 Speaker 3: and you know, primarily you're thinking, okay, he's a he's 61 00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:44,200 Speaker 3: a downhill runner, he's a bruiser, and then you split 62 00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:46,519 Speaker 3: him out wide and you find out that he's able 63 00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,480 Speaker 3: to run routes at a high level. It makes the 64 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:52,280 Speaker 3: game that much harder just just to call it, because 65 00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:54,760 Speaker 3: sometimes he might be messed up with the linebacker and 66 00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:57,160 Speaker 3: you'll say, Okay, that's not the best matchup ever we want. 67 00:02:57,520 --> 00:02:59,919 Speaker 3: So now you might have to spend a whole scheme 68 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:01,919 Speaker 3: around just to make sure that we have him covered 69 00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:03,920 Speaker 3: the right way. So his ability to be able to 70 00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,720 Speaker 3: go out there after one position, two positions and be 71 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:09,239 Speaker 3: able to run good rouses, it ain't gonna do nothing 72 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:14,600 Speaker 3: but help our offense. Impressed with the two rookie receivers. 73 00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,799 Speaker 1: Yeah, they like that. They are like that. 74 00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 3: The guys that pretty much came in and they were 75 00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:26,440 Speaker 3: just themselves. They didn't try to be anybody else. Like 76 00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:28,680 Speaker 3: Popp is his whole energetic self. You know, he gonna 77 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:30,560 Speaker 3: crack his jokes, he's gonna have fun, and he gonna 78 00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:32,240 Speaker 3: be the same way on the field, but when it's 79 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:34,679 Speaker 3: time to lock in, he gonna lock in. Kb he 80 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,520 Speaker 3: more laid back guy, but when he gets in the game, 81 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:39,000 Speaker 3: he kind of turns it on a little bit. And 82 00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:41,360 Speaker 3: we've been seeing that and it's just been great to 83 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,000 Speaker 3: see from both of them. You can never have too 84 00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:46,600 Speaker 3: many weapons, and with those guys able to take slants 85 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:50,120 Speaker 3: thirty forty yards, the distance, whatever it is, it just 86 00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:50,720 Speaker 3: helps us. 87 00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:54,840 Speaker 2: Out that At practice, just with Prebate, Like for you guys, 88 00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:58,120 Speaker 2: second day, it seemed like the emotions at all time high. 89 00:03:58,240 --> 00:03:59,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, it was competitive. 90 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:02,160 Speaker 3: I mean, you have two great teams, a great offense 91 00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,960 Speaker 3: versus a great defense going out there trying to set 92 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:06,760 Speaker 3: the tone versus to one another. 93 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:08,160 Speaker 1: So it was just fun. You know. 94 00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:11,000 Speaker 3: Their front seven was I mean, their old line was 95 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 3: getting after that off front. Seven was getting after it. 96 00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:15,840 Speaker 3: And then when when you go against our secondary, I mean, 97 00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:17,720 Speaker 3: we got guys that are gonna talk, They're gonna let 98 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:20,359 Speaker 3: you know they there, So if you turn it up 99 00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:22,040 Speaker 3: even a little bit, we're gonna turn it up all 100 00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,000 Speaker 3: the way. So it was just fun to be able 101 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,040 Speaker 3: to go out there and compete, and you know, you're 102 00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:29,560 Speaker 3: kind of gonna have those little scuffles at joint practices, 103 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:32,799 Speaker 3: but it's never really that seriously, just guys just having 104 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:35,720 Speaker 3: their teammates back and just making sure that you know 105 00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:38,880 Speaker 3: they're there for one another and not letting the other 106 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,479 Speaker 3: team punk them around. So it was great to see 107 00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:45,440 Speaker 3: that from our defense, but I'm sure from their offense 108 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:51,960 Speaker 3: they love that too because they weren't no pushovers. 109 00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:53,360 Speaker 2: This year, no cutdowns until the preseason ends, so the 110 00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:55,800 Speaker 2: roster stays in the ninety What does it mean to 111 00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:58,279 Speaker 2: have that extra week or you for some guys, where's 112 00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:01,520 Speaker 2: in the past and running seventy five at this point 113 00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:04,760 Speaker 2: to make an impression this last week percent, I. 114 00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:08,679 Speaker 3: Would say it's really different. When I came into the league, 115 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:10,719 Speaker 3: I was a guy, I was a trial guy for 116 00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:14,400 Speaker 3: mandatory mini camp, and you understood that you have four games, 117 00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:18,520 Speaker 3: So with us only having three games now, it makes 118 00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:20,960 Speaker 3: it that much harder to show what you can do, 119 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:22,560 Speaker 3: because you can show what you can do in practice, 120 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:25,120 Speaker 3: but ultimately, what you do in the game and what 121 00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:27,560 Speaker 3: you put on film is what really matters for your 122 00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:30,160 Speaker 3: team and what really matters for the other thirty one 123 00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:33,040 Speaker 3: teams looking for guys. So when you got one less 124 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:35,359 Speaker 3: game and then on top of that, you only have 125 00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:40,240 Speaker 3: one huge cut, I would say it makes it a 126 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:44,120 Speaker 3: lot harder because when you have the two cuts, you 127 00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:46,760 Speaker 3: kind of knew who the first wave was gonna be. 128 00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:49,200 Speaker 3: If you were a guy that was in good graces 129 00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:51,160 Speaker 3: with the coaches, you kind of knew like, Okay, I'm 130 00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:53,480 Speaker 3: gonna make it past the first cuts, but the second 131 00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:55,839 Speaker 3: cuts are gonna be serious. Now you just have one 132 00:05:55,920 --> 00:06:00,480 Speaker 3: big cut and you don't know where you really stand. Sometimes, 133 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,159 Speaker 3: if you're a bubble guy, you might fall underneath that 134 00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:05,440 Speaker 3: line and you might have to get cut. So I 135 00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:07,320 Speaker 3: think it adds a little more stress, But at the 136 00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:10,800 Speaker 3: same time, if you're a guy in that position, you 137 00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:12,520 Speaker 3: can't worry about that. You just got to go out 138 00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:15,200 Speaker 3: there and make the best of your opportunity. If it's 139 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:17,560 Speaker 3: one play, if it's twenty plays, if it's the whole game, 140 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:19,400 Speaker 3: just go out there and do the best that you 141 00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:21,600 Speaker 3: can and let the chips fallward they may, because if 142 00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:23,799 Speaker 3: you psych yourself out, then you're gonna be done anyway. 143 00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:26,920 Speaker 3: We do a bunch of out Mac over the last 144 00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:29,040 Speaker 3: couple of years, but specific to the last four weeks 145 00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:31,760 Speaker 3: in camp, where have you seen him grow or change? 146 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:37,640 Speaker 1: I've seen him grow and change a lot. I don't 147 00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:41,159 Speaker 1: want to give too much detail into it, just because 148 00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:43,440 Speaker 1: I don't. I don't want to give up his little tibbits. 149 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:47,000 Speaker 3: But I just think overall, he's he's a way better quarterback. 150 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:49,359 Speaker 3: You know, he took last year on the chin. He'll 151 00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:51,800 Speaker 3: be the first one to tell you that. You know, 152 00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:54,800 Speaker 3: that's not how he wanted to play, and for all 153 00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:56,880 Speaker 3: of us, that's not how any of us wanted to play. 154 00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:58,280 Speaker 1: But he'll be the first to tell you that. 155 00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:00,280 Speaker 3: And he's coming out here every single day and he's 156 00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:04,240 Speaker 3: trying to light our defense up, like literally light us up. 157 00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:06,960 Speaker 1: I'm talking I'm talking bombs. 158 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:08,360 Speaker 3: Anything that he can do, and you just love to 159 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:11,760 Speaker 3: see that he's always checking the play, he's always he's 160 00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:15,160 Speaker 3: always ready to give you something that you have to 161 00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:17,280 Speaker 3: think about, and I just think it's confidence is through 162 00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:18,040 Speaker 3: the roof right now. 163 00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:21,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, thank y'all.
