Speaker 2: Okay, exciting day for the organization. We have Rainbow Day

11
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:36,920
Speaker 2: out here. You know, University Hospitals is an amazing partner

12
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:39,000
Speaker 2: with us and the things that they're doing in the

13
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:42,840
Speaker 2: community is incredible. So we have some patients out here

14
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:46,199
Speaker 2: from pediatric that are going to get to watch practice

15
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:47,479
Speaker 2: and meet our players.

16
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:50,640
Speaker 3: But it's a special relationship. I'm fortunate. As you can see.

17
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 2: My sweet kicks I got on here designed by Jordan Cunningham,

18
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 2: who I just met over here. She's a patient and

19
00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 2: she designed some sneakers for me for today. So I'm

20
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 2: very much obliged, but Uh, really cool day for the organization.

21
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 3: But with that, I'll take any.

22
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 4: Questions to any why did they.

23
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:10,560
Speaker 3: Care for it happened?

24
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 2: Uh at the end of practice there a couple of

25
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:14,400
Speaker 2: days ago, felt something.

26
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 3: So we'll just treat it.

27
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 2: You know, for any player, you know, you're disappointed when

28
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:20,560
Speaker 2: you can't be out there with any injury. But uh,

29
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:22,919
Speaker 2: he'll be fine, he'll rehab, he'll get back out very quickly.

30
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 2: I don't have a timeline we're and you know with

31
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 2: something like this, Uh, we'll see how it goes. But

32
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:31,040
Speaker 2: his mindset, my mindset will just go day to day.

33
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:36,400
Speaker 5: Did you have a ming, Yes, he didn't care or anything.

34
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:36,760
Speaker 6: Yeah.

35
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:38,959
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna get into specifics on the injuries other

36
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,399
Speaker 2: than to tell you he's a he's gonna do everything

37
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:42,759
Speaker 2: in his power to get back a SAP.

38
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:45,120
Speaker 6: What does it mean to you? Rotation?

39
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:49,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, obviously everybody will get a little bit more because

40
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 2: of how you're going to distribute those reps.

41
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 7: Are we gonna see the team periods break down again or.

42
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 3: Is it more?

43
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 7: Are they gonna break on a different fields again?

44
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 2: You know, we're not gonna two spot. The plan was

45
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 2: just a two spot in the first four days of camp.

46
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 2: We two spotted in the off season quite a bit,

47
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 2: so at this point we were not playing on doing

48
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:10,240
Speaker 2: more that.

49
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:10,960
Speaker 6: I'm sorry.

50
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 3: Jerome is getting extremely close. I saw him yesterday.

51
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:20,119
Speaker 2: He'll be out here, not a he'll be a participant,

52
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 2: but in a limited capacity.

53
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 8: Kevin, I know you said there might not be changes

54
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:27,360
Speaker 8: to the rotation anyway, but did you know ahead of time, Like,

55
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:29,400
Speaker 8: did you know earlier enough that you didn't really have

56
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 8: to think about how your four man rotation.

57
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 3: Would have changed.

58
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I meant knew coming off the practice field, and

59
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 2: then knew the severity of it obviously as we talked

60
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 2: through it. That he's gonna miss today and maybe a

61
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:43,519
Speaker 2: couple of days. But we'll re evaluate it after this block,

62
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 2: if you will. And but you know, again, disappointed for Kenny,

63
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:51,679
Speaker 2: but he's he's here, he's getting better, and we'll see

64
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:52,520
Speaker 2: when he's back out there.

65
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 8: He'd get so many of the first team reps. Do

66
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 8: those I'll go to Joe, Do you buy him by

67
00:02:57,639 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 8: two or three?

68
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 2: Or it really depends on the period and what we're

69
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 2: trying to get accomplished in there, But Joe would get

70
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 2: the majority of them.

71
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 9: And how about how.

72
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:07,920
Speaker 10: Does this then trickle down to Dylan. Does it mean

73
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 10: a lot more of work with the ones for Dylan

74
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 10: and maybe.

75
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:11,240
Speaker 3: Some teams for sure?

76
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:13,639
Speaker 2: A little bit of both, Mary Kay, I think it's

77
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,359
Speaker 2: really dependent on the period, what we're trying to accomplish

78
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 2: in that period, and just moving these guys around, giving

79
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 2: them some more exposure.

80
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 5: Kevin to that in Dylan had seemed to get a

81
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 5: little bit more work with the ones the last couple

82
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:27,520
Speaker 5: of days last week.

83
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 6: What have you?

84
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:30,799
Speaker 5: What did you see specifically in those periods out of

85
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 5: him and and what was sort of the was it

86
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 5: just to kind of throw him in there with him

87
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 5: and kind of see how he handled this.

88
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 2: I think all these guys have to learn from every

89
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 2: single rep, whether they're in there or not. I think

90
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 2: that's something we've talked about at length, and I've talked

91
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 2: with you guys about that. Uh And I thought Dylan

92
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 2: did a nice job with the reps that he had.

93
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 2: There was some some really good moments and then some

94
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 2: moments that are great teaching moments. I think that's so

95
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 2: much of where we are in training camp is making

96
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 2: sure that as as a mistake is made, we'll make

97
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 2: the same mistake again.

98
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 11: What's your philosophy this year on padded practices, how intense

99
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 11: will you.

100
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 6: Get hit much?

101
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 3: Yeah? Once the pads go on, Tony, they're on today.

102
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 2: Uh, we'll take a day off tomorrow, put them back

103
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:19,160
Speaker 2: on on Wednesday. But uh, really the the you still

104
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:22,159
Speaker 2: need to practice safely. So we'll thud the runners, meaning

105
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:24,359
Speaker 2: you'll will fit up the runners. We won't tackle to

106
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:27,600
Speaker 2: the ground in this practice. Uh, but it is important

107
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 2: that when you get the pads on offense defense, specially teams,

108
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:33,280
Speaker 2: you have to you have to get acclimated to your pads,

109
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 2: as you know, quarterbacks throwing in shoulder pads, people catching shoulder.

110
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:38,159
Speaker 3: Pads, et cetera, et cetera.

111
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 4: Uh.

112
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 2: But by the same token, while yes it's physical, we

113
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:44,479
Speaker 2: don't want a bunch of guys on the ground, that's

114
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 2: not the the intention of putting the pads on. It's

115
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 2: still to use our technique and still to uh be

116
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:50,919
Speaker 2: smart when it's browns versus browns.

117
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 12: Would you like.

118
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:53,719
Speaker 13: Kenny aligns were really kind of coming down.

119
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 10: And showcasing his mobility a little bit. I thought he

120
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 10: had a nicer first four days.

121
00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 2: What were your thoughts on how Yeah, I thought Kenny

122
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:03,159
Speaker 2: had a strong block there like like you mentioned Mary

123
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 2: Kay uh did use his mobility a couple of times

124
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 2: there and was and is a fast player.

125
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:09,840
Speaker 3: He can really run.

126
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 2: So uh, we'll make sure that he heals up nice

127
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 2: and nice and fast.

128
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:14,720
Speaker 3: And then get him back out there. But I thought

129
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 3: he had a good.

130
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 8: Four days sits on the first day of National It's

131
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 8: not gonna ramp up for today.

132
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 3: Specifically, what I want been from the com well.

133
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:27,840
Speaker 2: I think kind of like we were saying, you know,

134
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 2: we want the players to get comfortable in their paths.

135
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:35,840
Speaker 2: There is an element of literally just throwing and catching

136
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 2: which you're not even you're not allowed to do, and

137
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 2: your shoulder pads previous to now, so getting used to it,

138
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 2: and then then the.

139
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:43,360
Speaker 3: Physicality will ramp up.

140
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:46,479
Speaker 2: I mean it's it's we're not in those soft shells anymore,

141
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 2: so you'll hear it a little bit more, the physicality

142
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 2: of it. But that's all part of training camp that's

143
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 2: been going on for a pretty long time.

144
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:56,480
Speaker 3: Were waiting for full paths to do in your live.

145
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 2: Uh No, not not waiting per se. We we did

146
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 2: some field goal work the other day.

147
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 12: Kept m love him, want not we're just killing him.

148
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:08,799
Speaker 3: Uh. We did both sides.

149
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 2: I mean we had we had field goal on field

150
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:12,919
Speaker 2: goal block as part of Kevin David.

151
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:14,840
Speaker 14: Njok who told us today that he never really felt

152
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 14: healthy after Week one last year. So what I guess

153
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 14: how how impressive was it that he kept kind of

154
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:20,840
Speaker 14: going out there and kept fighting to be out there.

155
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 3: And what do you expect out of a.

156
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:23,360
Speaker 12: Healthy Najoeku this year?

157
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 2: I think we've all seen what Dave can do when

158
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:28,360
Speaker 2: he's healthy, and I and you're right, I don't think

159
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:31,839
Speaker 2: he was uh was healthy last season. So he's feeling

160
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 2: good now. Uh he w w I when he's himself

161
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:37,840
Speaker 2: and and feeling like himself. He's a huge part of

162
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 2: what we do, not only offensively, but just as a

163
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 2: football team, and and his energy is certainly felt throughout

164
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 2: this building. So UH excited for him to to be healthy.

165
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 12: Argue that I think.

166
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 2: Kenny ll get back in time to be a key

167
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 2: member of his format. Yeah, I'm confident Kenny's gonna attack

168
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 2: his rehab.

169
00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 3: Uh.

170
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 2: Like we talked about Mary kay this the evaluation on

171
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:03,920
Speaker 2: these guys is all encompassing, and it goes back through

172
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 2: the spring, it goes to what they've put on tape already.

173
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 2: As as football players. So I know he wants to

174
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 2: be out there, but he's still very very much involved.

175
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 6: Said people will go to be Yes.

176
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:17,800
Speaker 7: Did you have any update on when when Shawn Trunks

177
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 7: couldn't rejoin the team.

178
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 3: I don't have an update.

179
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 7: Mike Woods and Kevin Jenkins?

180
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 3: Are they still out?

181
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 2: Mike is out, Tevin is getting close and it looked

182
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 2: like same idea will be out but.

183
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 1: Working hard up Next, wide receivers coach Chad O'sha discussed

184
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 1: Jerry Judy's growth as a leader in the locker room.

185
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 15: And then you said the job there's in change his

186
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 15: playing quarterback, but Jerry's breakout a year last year, much

187
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 15: of that was a reminder that sometimes receiver production can

188
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 15: be environment dependent as well.

189
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I agree, Like you know, Jerry did

190
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 4: a great job of coming in here and really ignoring

191
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 4: any noise that was out there, noise right there. So

192
00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 4: he did a tremendous job of ignoring the noise and

193
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 4: really just focusing and then on what we wanted him

194
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 4: to do to be successful in that play. He Jerry's

195
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 4: very coachable. You know a lot of these guys you think,

196
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 4: like guys, ask me, uh, are these guys coachable. We

197
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 4: have a coachable group and it starts with Jerry Judy.

198
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 4: So if he accepts coaching and works hard, good things

199
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 4: are gonna happen.

200
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:19,000
Speaker 15: Do you think the general notion that receivers are mercurial

201
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 15: or emotional or something like that.

202
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 4: What do you think of that general You know, I'll

203
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 4: say I'm very fortunate right now with the Cleveland Browns receivers.

204
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 4: We have a great group. You know, we have a

205
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 4: group that is just unselfish. I enjoy coaching those guys.

206
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:36,959
Speaker 4: I come in the room every day in in a

207
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:39,280
Speaker 4: great mood because the group I'm gonna stand in front

208
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:42,439
Speaker 4: of is just tremendous in terms of their work, ethic,

209
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 4: their humility. Jerry is at the front helping the younger

210
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 4: guys out. But it's just been a lot of fun

211
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 4: to see that group in the chemistry we have in

212
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 4: the room. Did you mention receivers, Yeah, Luke, as similar

213
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:01,959
Speaker 4: to our other three rookie receivers we have, is done

214
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,560
Speaker 4: a great job of learning the offense of coming into

215
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:08,679
Speaker 4: camp in great condition. You know, we say your job

216
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:10,319
Speaker 4: here is to get open and catch the ball, and

217
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:13,640
Speaker 4: he has certainly put that on tape and has been

218
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 4: displayed on the field so far. He's got a unique

219
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:20,719
Speaker 4: skill set to separate versus tight man coverage, particularly in

220
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 4: the slot alignment. So we're really excited, as we are

221
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:26,120
Speaker 4: a lot of our players right now because it's such

222
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:28,520
Speaker 4: an exciting time to see these guys develop and improve.

223
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:32,079
Speaker 4: Luke has done a great job of working hard but

224
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:34,360
Speaker 4: certainly having a long way to go, just like all

225
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 4: of our players, to include Jerry Judy, you know, we

226
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:38,640
Speaker 4: have a long way to go. They acknowledge that and

227
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:41,559
Speaker 4: just we're excited about how hard they work, to include Luke.

228
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:42,559
Speaker 4: Luke's done a great job.

229
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:45,599
Speaker 16: What does a jump first sacre look like in this

230
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:47,679
Speaker 16: year and what does he need to do on these

231
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 16: fields he's during training camp in order to achieve it.

232
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:53,319
Speaker 4: Yeah, to take the next step for Cedric, which I think,

233
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 4: like we talk about with all of our players taking

234
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 4: the next step. You know, it's not just one particular

235
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:00,960
Speaker 4: player like this guy's the only one take the next step, right,

236
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:02,839
Speaker 4: we all have to and I think to take the

237
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 4: next step, it's just consistency.

238
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:04,719
Speaker 6: You know.

239
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:07,199
Speaker 4: Cedric has proven that he can do it at a

240
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:10,679
Speaker 4: high level. He had some real good production prior to

241
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 4: his injury last year. We're really excited about his development,

242
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:17,439
Speaker 4: still are and time on task is what's critical. He

243
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 4: needs to be out here available. We're very fortunate, you know,

244
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 4: he's come back, he's healthy. He had to come out

245
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 4: of practice the other day, but we're moving forward. He's healthy,

246
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:30,839
Speaker 4: done a great job, and his availability. It starts with that,

247
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,599
Speaker 4: and then just overall consistency is what's most important with

248
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 4: Cedric right now.

249
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:38,080
Speaker 5: How grateful were you that you dodged that full said

250
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 5: the other day.

251
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:40,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean that's you know, the fear as a coach,

252
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:42,280
Speaker 4: you know when you step on the field is the

253
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:44,079
Speaker 4: most important thing is the health of your team, and

254
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:46,599
Speaker 4: especially the guy's selfishly you coach, you know, you're like

255
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 4: family with those guys.

256
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 6: So I think we were, you.

257
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 4: Know, really excited obviously that that Cedric popped up and

258
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:56,199
Speaker 4: was able to you know, practice yesterday.

259
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:56,600
Speaker 3: And moving forward.

260
00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 4: He's full participant and we expect him to just to

261
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 4: come out here and do what he's doing and that's

262
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:01,560
Speaker 4: improved and work hard.

263
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 7: From last year to this point, have you seen Jerry

264
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:06,079
Speaker 7: Gudy kind of take that next step in like the leadership.

265
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:10,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean Jerry's done a great job of leadership,

266
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:13,360
Speaker 4: you know. And I think leadership is it's not just

267
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:14,719
Speaker 4: what you say, but it's what you do.

268
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 6: And that's what Jerry's done.

269
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 4: He's put a product on tape that has been very

270
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 4: good at a high level. You know, He's played at

271
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:24,079
Speaker 4: a high level, and that's allowed him to I would say,

272
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:25,839
Speaker 4: not have a voice, but he's allowed him to go

273
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:27,559
Speaker 4: out there and show the way, you know, and he's

274
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:30,760
Speaker 4: done it through his actions. And been really excited about

275
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:33,719
Speaker 4: Jerry and just where he is and look forward to

276
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 4: and Jerry's done a great job of managing expectations. So

277
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 4: you know, we're not looking to we don't make any

278
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 4: comparisons to last year. We last year is done. We're

279
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:43,839
Speaker 4: just trying to do the best we can for the

280
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:46,360
Speaker 4: team to win, and that's what Jerry's done.

281
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 14: Kevin has praised guys in the past for their versatility.

282
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:49,800
Speaker 8: Jerry's one of those.

283
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 14: Yes, how important is it to have guys that played basically.

284
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 7: Can line up anywhere in a formation.

285
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:57,599
Speaker 4: I think it's one of the most important traits of

286
00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 4: a player within our offense. His versatility is so important.

287
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 4: If you can do more than just one role, you know,

288
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:09,200
Speaker 4: it increases obviously your chances to play and really earn

289
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 4: a role for the team. So I think, you know,

290
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:14,400
Speaker 4: we've challenged each of these guys to do something beyond

291
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 4: what their normal role is, and the only thing that

292
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:23,560
Speaker 4: prevents somebody from doing that sometimes is the mental ability

293
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:25,679
Speaker 4: to learn. So we are fortunate that we have a

294
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 4: bunch of smart guys in the receiver room that will

295
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 4: allow them to play in a multiple position role.

296
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:31,720
Speaker 3: Pass come on pass alone today.

297
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 16: I know we talk about like the offensive and defensive

298
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 16: line how that impacts them, But for your group, what

299
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:37,880
Speaker 16: does that do for you guys? How does an impact

300
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 16: training camp from the past time.

301
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,840
Speaker 4: Yes, super excited as a receiver coach that pads are

302
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:43,840
Speaker 4: on because we get to compete in the run games,

303
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,719
Speaker 4: you know, and that's such a part of playing the

304
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 4: receiver position. We take a lot of pride in it.

305
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:51,839
Speaker 4: I think if you're a great running football team, you

306
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,160
Speaker 4: have receivers that are unselfish that are going to block

307
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:56,480
Speaker 4: in the run game. So I am very excited to

308
00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 4: go out on the field to day and see who

309
00:12:57,800 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 4: will compete in the run game. We've challenged the guys

310
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:02,600
Speaker 4: just ten minutes ago in the meeting, as I stand

311
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 4: here right now. We're looking forward to get in on

312
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 4: the in the pads. I know our whole team is

313
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 4: looking forward to being in pads, but certainly receivers are.

314
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:13,200
Speaker 12: To the Kenny Fucke injury.

315
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 3: Impact your right now.

316
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, so you know we we truly and it's been

317
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:24,600
Speaker 4: you know, regardless of again who's stepping in the huddle.

318
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:27,240
Speaker 4: Now there's one less, but it doesn't it doesn't affect

319
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:29,040
Speaker 4: us at all as far as our job. You know,

320
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:32,040
Speaker 4: our job is to just focus in on the details

321
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:34,679
Speaker 4: and the assignment of that play. Again, we have so

322
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:38,439
Speaker 4: much on our plate from route running details to the

323
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 4: assignment of the play that regardless of who's in the huddle,

324
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 4: who's throwing the ball. You know, I always joke I

325
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 4: could be out there playing quarterback, and really it doesn't change.

326
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:51,839
Speaker 3: You know, their job doesn't change.

327
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:55,719
Speaker 4: Obviously, the completion percentage would probably decrease significantly if I

328
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 4: was playing right, but their job doesn't change. Their job

329
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:00,839
Speaker 4: is to get open and catch the ball. We have

330
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:03,720
Speaker 4: so many things to focus in on. Doesn't affect us

331
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 4: at all.

332
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 1: Up next, offensive line coach Mike bloomber And discussed his

333
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:10,480
Speaker 1: excitement to get some contact going in the trenches.

334
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 5: Well, how many of days today you know, getting you know,

335
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 5: finally being get the pass. How much do you try

336
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 5: not to overreact to what you see the first day,

337
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 5: from the first day of pass, especially your position group.

338
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:23,360
Speaker 17: Well, I think actually it has a lot more value

339
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 17: than those four days we just had. When you talk

340
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 17: specifical about offensive line, I think when the pads come on,

341
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:30,480
Speaker 17: I think it's a critically important and evaluation process for

342
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:33,440
Speaker 17: every position, but certainly for offensive linemen. You know, this

343
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:35,960
Speaker 17: is a day where we get to see what really

344
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 17: is happening with the block, Like, are you earning the

345
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:41,400
Speaker 17: movement you're getting on the defensive lineman? Can you take

346
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 17: the man from point A to point B against his

347
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:46,000
Speaker 17: will and do our job to make sure we're creating

348
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 17: those holes?

349
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:51,680
Speaker 18: And how different he looks and he's talked about really

350
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 18: building muscles, an emphasis and swimming. Just what have you

351
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:58,920
Speaker 18: seen from Jimson since you've gotten here and then it practiced.

352
00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 17: Yeah, I think since I've gotten here, I've seen that

353
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:04,040
Speaker 17: commitment to become a better version of himself and that's

354
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 17: what we're all trying to do. So that's great impressions

355
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 17: in the early practice, you know, like I think Friday

356
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:12,600
Speaker 17: was probably his best practice all told since I've been here,

357
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:14,800
Speaker 17: and that's obviously a very good sign. Now we got

358
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 17: to build on it today because, just like everybody in

359
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:21,240
Speaker 17: this room, what we got to hunt in these dog days,

360
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:23,440
Speaker 17: in this phase of this training camp is consistency.

361
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 12: And you know, as an offensive lineman, you can have.

362
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:28,280
Speaker 17: Fifty eight perfect plays and two really bad ones and

363
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:30,120
Speaker 17: that's a really bad deal for our football team.

364
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:32,560
Speaker 12: So consistency is the thing we're striving for this week.

365
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 12: Kid came out and played well. He really just did.

366
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 17: I mean, he made a commitment once again, Like there's

367
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:42,000
Speaker 17: we talked about this last time I was in front

368
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:44,320
Speaker 17: of you, Like, there's so many good things in the package.

369
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 12: It is Dwan Jones, and it's.

370
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:48,960
Speaker 17: It's our job, and it's our collective job and his

371
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 17: job to get those things out of them.

372
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 6: Weak the becides to one.

373
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 8: The other four guys are thirty or get it, turned

374
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:58,520
Speaker 8: thirty within the next week, I think. So Yeah, as

375
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:00,920
Speaker 8: a coach, are there any concerns you about that? Do

376
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:03,320
Speaker 8: you have to coach them any different, manage them any

377
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 8: different guys? They're at all older than other guys.

378
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 17: Yeah, I think Kevin has a great plan for that

379
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:10,720
Speaker 17: in training camp and certainly as we're trying to to

380
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 17: make this a physical training camp, how we're gonna take

381
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:14,480
Speaker 17: care of those guys and and there's a good plan

382
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:17,160
Speaker 17: in place. There's also in open lines of communication where

383
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 17: I want to hear from those guys, you know, like

384
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:20,960
Speaker 17: how is your body feeling? Because I know I'm a

385
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:22,960
Speaker 17: better coach with those guys on the field, and so

386
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:24,840
Speaker 17: we're gonna do everything we can to keep them ready

387
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 17: for for game days while getting the work at these

388
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:29,920
Speaker 17: new techniques in some cases so that they can be

389
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 17: completely comfortable and can get their job done when they're

390
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 17: in there because they're.

391
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:35,360
Speaker 8: Also comfort level giving it. Those four guys have as

392
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 8: much experience, especially even together.

393
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 17: Yeah, I I the nonverbal communication between those guys is

394
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:43,880
Speaker 17: really cool, you know, like a grunt means a lot

395
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:44,280
Speaker 17: of things.

396
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 6: I think Saturday that Jackson Bartley in one of those

397
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:50,280
Speaker 6: days off.

398
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:54,320
Speaker 11: Sure does that reflect how well Jackson Barton.

399
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:58,400
Speaker 17: Or rotating guys, really rotating guys in I think both

400
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:02,280
Speaker 17: Jackson Barton and Cornelis Lucas have done really well to date. Uh,

401
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:04,959
Speaker 17: Jackson's done some some really cool things in the run game,

402
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:06,960
Speaker 17: We've got to get him to solidify his pass sets

403
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:09,399
Speaker 17: and comfort at sitting down a defender, and that's what

404
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:12,119
Speaker 17: we're gonna continue to work with with him. But with

405
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:13,880
Speaker 17: Jack having that day off, it was just easy, let's

406
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:15,280
Speaker 17: plug him in, let's see how he does. And so

407
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:16,640
Speaker 17: that was great to get him that work.

408
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:26,720
Speaker 12: With the ones you said Lucas and Barton. Right now.

409
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:31,040
Speaker 5: He is.

410
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:33,600
Speaker 17: Yeah, he's doing a nice job and you'll actually see

411
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:34,560
Speaker 17: him get some out there today.

412
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:37,440
Speaker 6: What's the reasoning behind.

413
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:41,919
Speaker 17: Absolutely, like one of our core tenants is in offense,

414
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:43,520
Speaker 17: we're trying to make sure we're doing as multiple and

415
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 17: versatile and it's not like we're gonna line up in

416
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:47,840
Speaker 17: a lot of different roles as offensive linemen in terms

417
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 17: of lining up at this receiver or doing this running

418
00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:50,400
Speaker 17: the ball.

419
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:52,320
Speaker 12: So what does that mean for us? It means how

420
00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 12: many positions can we play?

421
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:56,000
Speaker 17: The old more you can do adage and so, uh,

422
00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:57,879
Speaker 17: if you talk about like a game day roster, if

423
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:00,680
Speaker 17: Zach has the ability to be a backup center or

424
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:03,119
Speaker 17: certainly an emergency center, that's a big deal for our

425
00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 17: football team. Last year, I know you were here, Yeah,

426
00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:17,000
Speaker 17: I mean not being here, can't really speak about last year.

427
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:18,639
Speaker 17: But I can talk about what we talked about, uh

428
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:21,399
Speaker 17: back in May or June whatever that was, like, this

429
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:23,399
Speaker 17: is a kid that's had an off season now and

430
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:25,320
Speaker 17: you're seeing the value of that. I think he's playing

431
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:27,080
Speaker 17: at a much higher level than when we first hit

432
00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:29,639
Speaker 17: the field in April, and that's exactly what I expected.

433
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:31,399
Speaker 17: So it's it's great to see that he's had that

434
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:33,320
Speaker 17: time to put in the work and he's getting more

435
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:35,760
Speaker 17: comfortable with these techniques. Even as we talk about putting

436
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:38,000
Speaker 17: him at center to day the spring.

437
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 11: During the twist push discussions, he had said, you have

438
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:47,720
Speaker 11: some creative ideas for short are when we see those

439
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:48,639
Speaker 11: on the practice field or.

440
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:53,720
Speaker 17: Could in large Oh, we'll show whatever Kevin and Tommy

441
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:56,000
Speaker 17: choose to show, uh if that makes sense. I mean,

442
00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:57,960
Speaker 17: we certainly have a way we believe in doing short

443
00:18:58,000 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 17: yards and goal line and a lot of it is

444
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:02,440
Speaker 17: technique driven as much as any plays. But yeah, we

445
00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:04,760
Speaker 17: we believe in Once again, as I talked about the

446
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:06,680
Speaker 17: moving a man from point A to point B against

447
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:09,440
Speaker 17: his will, there's no time that that's more important that

448
00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 17: we get the movement than in short yard and goal line.

449
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 6: Taking a while.

450
00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:25,000
Speaker 17: You're going too deep man for this conversation. Yeah, he

451
00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:27,360
Speaker 17: certainly can be. I think Zach can be. I think

452
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:30,000
Speaker 17: Luke Whippler can be. Those are all guys that are

453
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:31,600
Speaker 17: are possible candidates for that world.

454
00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:36,680
Speaker 15: What was allowed Julio to remain as productive as he

455
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:37,760
Speaker 15: has for as.

456
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 12: Long as he has, I don't know.

457
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:42,960
Speaker 17: There's probably some grace of God, but there's also the

458
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:44,879
Speaker 17: way that he works, in the way that he prepares

459
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:47,479
Speaker 17: his body. You know, Kevin gave the guys a night

460
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:49,440
Speaker 17: off the other night, and I just said, I asked

461
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:51,159
Speaker 17: Joel to talk to the room about what his process

462
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:52,600
Speaker 17: is going to be on that evening in the next

463
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:54,639
Speaker 17: day to prepare for what's to come as we go

464
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:56,720
Speaker 17: into six practices in a row here in dog days.

465
00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:59,880
Speaker 17: And he's just unbelievable with its process. I think again,

466
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:01,159
Speaker 17: process is a big part of it.

467
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:04,280
Speaker 13: Mike, kind of a big picture offensive line question.

468
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:08,320
Speaker 5: You know you've been involved with the brand first level recruiting,

469
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:09,919
Speaker 5: you know, my junior days in college.

470
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:11,359
Speaker 6: Have you noticed that.

471
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:16,440
Speaker 5: The pool of offensive linement coming up through the system

472
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:17,360
Speaker 5: from high.

473
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:22,920
Speaker 13: School to college is it shrinking in your the kind

474
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:27,240
Speaker 13: of elite, elite kind of offensive line.

475
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:29,320
Speaker 17: I think at every level of football right now, it's

476
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:32,080
Speaker 17: harder to train guys to be great offensive linemens. So

477
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:34,560
Speaker 17: I'm not sure that the pool is shrinking, but the

478
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:36,399
Speaker 17: guys that actually get the development to get to that

479
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:39,080
Speaker 17: point prior to get into the National Football League is

480
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:39,720
Speaker 17: maybe less.

481
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:40,600
Speaker 3: Mike.

482
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:43,120
Speaker 11: It's been about I think twelve years since you were.

483
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:48,520
Speaker 12: In the US fifteen. Yeah, lifetime is seen. The game

484
00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:50,879
Speaker 12: has changed, certainly, some schemes have.

485
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:53,920
Speaker 17: The way you relate to players, I've always found it

486
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:56,399
Speaker 17: to be the same at all levels. And you know,

487
00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:58,760
Speaker 17: I always want the players to know like I'm there

488
00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:00,960
Speaker 17: to help them and way, And I think that's the

489
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:03,000
Speaker 17: job of a coach, whether it's working for Coach Bowden

490
00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:05,359
Speaker 17: early in my career or whatever. Like your job as

491
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:06,720
Speaker 17: a coach is to take a player or someplace he

492
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:08,240
Speaker 17: cannot or will not take himself.

493
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:09,800
Speaker 12: And so what does that mean?

494
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 17: We got to find out uniquely how we help each player.

495
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:15,520
Speaker 17: And it's not a cookie cutter or one size fits

496
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 17: all model. We're gonna have techniques and we're gonna have

497
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:20,159
Speaker 17: ways to start, but like, how do I motivate this

498
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:21,920
Speaker 17: kid or how do I give him a technique? It's

499
00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:24,760
Speaker 17: gonna be a good tool for him. But as you

500
00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:28,720
Speaker 17: talk about schemes, yeah, there's some different things, certainly schemes

501
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:30,200
Speaker 17: I believe, so yeah.

502
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:36,080
Speaker 12: That and the way the off season is so flag

503
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:36,920
Speaker 12: football esque.

504
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:40,520
Speaker 18: It seems like from watching you, like actually coach them

505
00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:44,040
Speaker 18: out there in practices, like you're constantly explaining the why

506
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:46,720
Speaker 18: for like everything you're wanting guys to do. I guess,

507
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:49,479
Speaker 18: just is that a fair assessment of watching you out there?

508
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:52,440
Speaker 5: And if yes, like why is that important for even if.

509
00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:54,560
Speaker 6: It's like individual drills always doing that?

510
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:56,560
Speaker 17: Yeah, I think with everything you want to be able

511
00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:59,280
Speaker 17: to connect the individual drill to teams, so again telling

512
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 17: them exactly what we're working and the why as you're saying,

513
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:04,720
Speaker 17: but I think with every block we talk about triple A,

514
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:06,800
Speaker 17: which is not the car service is gonna come give

515
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:09,679
Speaker 17: you a toe. It's alignment, assignment and adjustment. And if

516
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:12,080
Speaker 17: I understand the why behind my technique that it helps

517
00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:13,920
Speaker 17: me when that adjustment happens and I need to do

518
00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:16,000
Speaker 17: it in a fractional second a.

519
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:20,240
Speaker 15: Couple How do you think do you think back to

520
00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:22,560
Speaker 15: kind of back to Joel, he's the guy of his

521
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:25,399
Speaker 15: stature with the number of a prose robles.

522
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:25,880
Speaker 12: He's made.

523
00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:29,439
Speaker 15: It feels like at a flash your position, he might

524
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:32,359
Speaker 15: be a Hall of Fame candidate, but profoball reference to

525
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 15: whatever it's worth, it gives him less of a probability.

526
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:38,240
Speaker 10: Do you think offensive linement are properly represented in the Hall?

527
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 17: You know, I don't even know the criteria, but what

528
00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:43,000
Speaker 17: I can tell you is, having watched and studied Joel

529
00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:45,200
Speaker 17: for years and years and years before I got here,

530
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:47,919
Speaker 17: I think he looks like a Hall of Fame candidate.

531
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:49,840
Speaker 17: To me, I don't get a vote, not my area.

532
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 17: But uh yeah, I don't understand that that rationale that

533
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:56,040
Speaker 17: you talked about. If the Pro Football Reference is saying

534
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:58,960
Speaker 17: it differently, why do you think it could be that?

535
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:01,240
Speaker 17: Why is he deserving?

536
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:04,480
Speaker 10: Why why would there be someone overlooking him?

537
00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:06,320
Speaker 6: Yeah? I can speak to that.

538
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:08,560
Speaker 17: I can tell you again like the longevity of his career,

539
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:11,240
Speaker 17: the high level that he's played at, making those Pro Bowls,

540
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:13,119
Speaker 17: and like what do you have to do to make

541
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:15,159
Speaker 17: the Hall of Fame be top one or two at

542
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:18,119
Speaker 17: your position for a couple of years, he's checked those boxes.

543
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:21,440
Speaker 8: When we talk about the fact that he's gonna be

544
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:24,080
Speaker 8: going against Miles has been, then we'll be in pad.

545
00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:26,639
Speaker 8: I think what kind of extra dynamics is then to

546
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:29,720
Speaker 8: him and you just given that Miles is wll be

547
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:31,040
Speaker 8: the best in the business.

548
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:31,879
Speaker 12: And what he does.

549
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:34,240
Speaker 17: Yeah, I mean as a competitor, you want the best,

550
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:37,000
Speaker 17: and especially we can get that work in and practice right,

551
00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:40,040
Speaker 17: like come come to the dojo and bring your best,

552
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:41,560
Speaker 17: because that's all it's gonna do is help us as

553
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:44,040
Speaker 17: we learn to fight. And so again, I do think

554
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:47,440
Speaker 17: there's tremendous value in that we may not appreciate every

555
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:48,960
Speaker 17: day when we go back and watch the film or

556
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:51,359
Speaker 17: when we when Dewan has a particular rep. But that

557
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:54,399
Speaker 17: is all that's doing is sharpening him. It really is

558
00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:55,639
Speaker 17: the old iron sharpens iron.

559
00:23:57,440 --> 00:24:00,880
Speaker 5: Off of that just as you bring you know, set

560
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:03,560
Speaker 5: you know, kind of watching the film and greating your own.

561
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 6: Guys, what are you noticing about the defensive how much are.

562
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:09,000
Speaker 5: You kind of like how much do you say, you know,

563
00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:11,560
Speaker 5: like you say, that's Miles Garrett, He's going to you

564
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:13,800
Speaker 5: know so, or you know what Mason Graham has done

565
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:15,359
Speaker 5: or anything like that. How much are you kind of

566
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:20,160
Speaker 5: noticing that and passing bolts onto you know that that room.

567
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:22,240
Speaker 17: Yeah, we haven't done a whole lot of crossover with

568
00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:24,040
Speaker 17: Jock and I where we talk about those things yet,

569
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:26,600
Speaker 17: but I believe we will at some point. You certainly

570
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:29,439
Speaker 17: notice who flashes, Like who is being a consistent problem?

571
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:32,720
Speaker 17: Who is if they're giving those those four that we

572
00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:36,200
Speaker 17: mentioned any problems, uh, that's those ones, then they're probably

573
00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:38,359
Speaker 17: doing a good job. And so again, like, what do

574
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:41,600
Speaker 17: we need to do to handle this guy? And we're

575
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:43,320
Speaker 17: not in a game plan type format, right, We're not

576
00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:45,800
Speaker 17: doing that. But at the same time, like the techniques

577
00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:48,280
Speaker 17: are different for some people, and honestly, going against Coach

578
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:50,600
Speaker 17: Schwartz's defense is different with them being such an attack

579
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:53,320
Speaker 17: front that there's different things we have to modify within

580
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:54,520
Speaker 17: our scheme just to make it work.

581
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:55,520
Speaker 6: Who's flashing?

582
00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:57,760
Speaker 12: I'm sorry, who is flashy? Ah?

583
00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:00,800
Speaker 17: You should ask Jock who's flash I don't know exactly

584
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:01,560
Speaker 17: what they're supposed to do.

585
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:02,600
Speaker 12: I just know who's disruptive.

586
00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:05,640
Speaker 1: Cornerbacks coach Brandon Lynch reflected on what Denzel Ward said

587
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:08,159
Speaker 1: was his best season in twenty twenty four and how

588
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:09,880
Speaker 1: he can build on it in twenty twenty five.

589
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:10,800
Speaker 7: I guess let's start with that.

590
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:12,120
Speaker 6: We talked to him last week.

591
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:14,960
Speaker 7: He said he felt like last year personally his best year.

592
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:17,919
Speaker 3: How have you seen him kind of come back and attack.

593
00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:18,399
Speaker 12: This season after that?

594
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:18,800
Speaker 6: Yeah?

595
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:21,240
Speaker 19: You know what, Like he's really attacked our cultural standards.

596
00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:22,800
Speaker 19: You know, we asked all of our guys to like

597
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:27,120
Speaker 19: attack the ball, attack the day, like really put violence, efforts,

598
00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:29,600
Speaker 19: swag on passion on tape. And he's been a guy

599
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:31,800
Speaker 19: like he's been doing it in the meeting rooms. He's

600
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:34,159
Speaker 19: been doing it obviously in the weight room. You know,

601
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:35,800
Speaker 19: now we're getting a chance to see it on the grass.

602
00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:38,320
Speaker 14: How important is it that he sets that example? I

603
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:40,399
Speaker 14: mean he was here all spring and people said just

604
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:43,119
Speaker 14: being that guy that doesn't up.

605
00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:46,359
Speaker 19: You know, without a doubt, he's one of our like

606
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:49,680
Speaker 19: trusted leaders on the field. So the biggest thing for

607
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:53,359
Speaker 19: him is it's not the exception, it's really the expectation,

608
00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:55,680
Speaker 19: you know. And when we talked about hard and toughness,

609
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:58,399
Speaker 19: like and really that that callous that we want to

610
00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:01,480
Speaker 19: like really evolve in while we're here at camp. Yeah,

611
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:04,080
Speaker 19: he's really putting it on there and we gotta keep motivating.

612
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:08,200
Speaker 11: Spend a lot of time one on on what didn't talk, Sure,

613
00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:13,520
Speaker 11: a lot of visits as jam skills, right, Uh So

614
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:15,720
Speaker 11: he talks ball on walking along the side.

615
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:18,320
Speaker 3: Is there rhythm when he's at the Jery machine, you

616
00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:19,960
Speaker 3: know said did he come.

617
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:22,359
Speaker 6: To you or did he come there to set up

618
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:23,760
Speaker 6: this program to improvements?

619
00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:24,760
Speaker 13: Inception?

620
00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:25,560
Speaker 6: Sure?

621
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:28,040
Speaker 19: You know I it's a cultural standard. You know that

622
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:31,880
Speaker 19: teachers teach and students they wanna be taught. So he's

623
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:34,760
Speaker 19: a young guy. He really wants the information. He's a

624
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:38,320
Speaker 19: extremely hard worker, come in early, stay late guy. So

625
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:41,800
Speaker 19: it's really been, you know, a cohesive conversation between us

626
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:45,120
Speaker 19: both on what our team ideals are where we're trying

627
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:47,480
Speaker 19: to get to as a offense, defense and special teams,

628
00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:50,119
Speaker 19: and really we're getting a chance to just cohesively do

629
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:50,920
Speaker 19: it on the field together.

630
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:56,200
Speaker 11: He's talked about one interceptions and when he talk what

631
00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:56,959
Speaker 11: the six of 'em?

632
00:26:56,960 --> 00:27:01,760
Speaker 6: When? Years whatever? Is this a sert effort? His part

633
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:03,760
Speaker 6: is the team's pre too for the techniques.

634
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:06,600
Speaker 19: You know, w without a doubt, you know, we know

635
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:08,639
Speaker 19: that the most important thing is we keep we keep

636
00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:10,800
Speaker 19: the team first and us being able to get the

637
00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:12,680
Speaker 19: ball back for our offense and our special teams.

638
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:15,359
Speaker 6: That's gonna help us win games. That's gonna help our team.

639
00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:19,119
Speaker 19: So really that conversation is the team first, you know,

640
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:21,040
Speaker 19: and that's being a hundred percent accountable to it.

641
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:22,879
Speaker 15: Brittan, how much, if at all, do you believe in

642
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:25,359
Speaker 15: the concept of a or a sophomore slumple You come

643
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:26,960
Speaker 15: in the league, maybe if you're good as a rookie,

644
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:28,800
Speaker 15: and then the tea, the the league gets more film.

657
00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:01,320
Speaker 6: I guess what do you think?

658
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:04,520
Speaker 10: What do you think was the the reasoning behind him?

659
00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:05,320
Speaker 6: Sure?

660
00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:07,479
Speaker 19: You know what Martin is a is a hard worker man,

Speaker 19: you know what I'm saying, Like, extremely hard worker. And

662
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:11,880
Speaker 19: he's a guy that you know, when you talk about

663
00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:14,879
Speaker 19: just reps on tasks. Right, he's a young guy seeing

664
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:18,399
Speaker 19: more plays. He's being more involved with our you know,

665
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:21,560
Speaker 19: our special teams. He's more involved with our weight room staff,

666
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:24,280
Speaker 19: our nutrition staff. So he's really trending on the rids.

667
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:24,479
Speaker 9: Now.

668
00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 8: Ran with Greg the last year you missed all the

669
00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:31,080
Speaker 8: training camp with that hamshing surgery, and he said he

670
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 8: feels healthy. What difference do you see did you this

671
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:36,879
Speaker 8: year and did you ever even seem fully healthy.

672
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:38,720
Speaker 6: At all last year? You know, I see him really

673
00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:39,480
Speaker 6: attacking the day.

674
00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:42,400
Speaker 19: You know, he's always been like a very assertive, like learner,

675
00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:45,520
Speaker 19: a very assertive young man, but you really see him

676
00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:48,040
Speaker 19: attacking the moment, attacking to day. He's one of our

677
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:50,000
Speaker 19: team leaders, you know, and we talk about like be

678
00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:52,920
Speaker 19: a trusted teammate, right, He's somebody that they go to

679
00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:56,840
Speaker 19: for communication. We talk about counter terrorism, see something, say something.

680
00:28:57,200 --> 00:29:01,160
Speaker 19: So you feel his presence on the field, is it.

681
00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:03,360
Speaker 8: Does he talk to you about the importance to him

682
00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:05,760
Speaker 8: of not being just considered a MIKEL corner and the

683
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:08,040
Speaker 8: slack guy that he has that ability.

684
00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 13: To play on the outside.

685
00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:12,000
Speaker 19: You know, all of our guys like they value versatility,

686
00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:14,480
Speaker 19: like just like our defense and our offense, right, But

687
00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:17,360
Speaker 19: he's a guy that values the versatility himself. Like, these

688
00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:19,560
Speaker 19: are guys that they wanna be in the slot, they

689
00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:22,200
Speaker 19: wanna be outside, they wanna blitz, you know, they wanna

690
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:24,240
Speaker 19: be in zone coverage and man coverage, just to show

691
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:25,960
Speaker 19: that all their traits so that we can be a

692
00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:28,640
Speaker 19: hundred percent accountable to the team. So it's really cool

693
00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:31,480
Speaker 19: to see just how unselfish he is to put the

694
00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:32,240
Speaker 19: team first in that.

695
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:34,080
Speaker 6: In that category, you have mentioned.

696
00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:34,920
Speaker 3: Plan zone coverage.

697
00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:37,760
Speaker 19: Of those curious, like, we saw some coverage bus last year,

698
00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:39,160
Speaker 19: particularly in the zone coverage.

699
00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:41,360
Speaker 6: What's the key to making sure that you know that

700
00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:42,480
Speaker 6: that hasn't happening again.

701
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:45,120
Speaker 19: Communication first, you know, that's that's one of the very

702
00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:49,120
Speaker 19: first things we talk about. Communication first, then execution. We

703
00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:52,320
Speaker 19: try to like really simplify it for our guys. Stance

704
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:56,200
Speaker 19: alignment key first step. But before we can execute the call,

705
00:29:56,640 --> 00:29:59,000
Speaker 19: we gotta communicate and then execute it at a high level.

706
00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:02,440
Speaker 14: Mee uh, I've heard over the years guys talk a

707
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:03,440
Speaker 14: lot about I.

708
00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:04,680
Speaker 8: Don't wanna force the interception.

709
00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:06,400
Speaker 4: I'm not gonna you know, always go for the ball.

710
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:07,320
Speaker 12: I'm gonna stick that.

711
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:09,520
Speaker 3: You might technique and try to make the play.

712
00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:12,480
Speaker 5: But with you guys putting such a point.

713
00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:15,280
Speaker 10: Of emphasis on getting more picks this year, do they

714
00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:16,440
Speaker 10: have to force it a little bit?

715
00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:18,120
Speaker 12: I attack the ball a little bit more.

716
00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:19,320
Speaker 10: How do you walk that line?

717
00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:22,000
Speaker 6: Yes, ma'am, you know what it's really I it's not

718
00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:24,280
Speaker 6: the what what would you say?

719
00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:25,080
Speaker 4: It's not the.

720
00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:29,400
Speaker 19: Urre to the curve, right, it's the expectation like it.

721
00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:31,840
Speaker 19: It really is like, this is what we must do

722
00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:35,000
Speaker 19: to help our team. So really, we're not gonna fret

723
00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:37,040
Speaker 19: place like it's one of those things that it is

724
00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:40,240
Speaker 19: part of the process. We wanna keep getting time on task,

725
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:43,200
Speaker 19: trusting that process, knowing that those things come in bunches.

726
00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:45,400
Speaker 19: And as long as we can stay get tight and

727
00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:48,920
Speaker 19: stay tight now we force the quarterback office first read

728
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:50,240
Speaker 19: and then we get our engine.

729
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:51,680
Speaker 11: Home back to uh MJ.

730
00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:55,000
Speaker 19: Yes, it's such a good two days against Justin Jefferson

731
00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:57,960
Speaker 19: a year ago here, sure in the joy practice and.

732
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:01,600
Speaker 3: Then the probably wasn't pacease overall that you wanted?

733
00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:03,840
Speaker 6: What why do you think it developed into that kind

734
00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:05,720
Speaker 6: of season? On Eglage said that to me Ating, he'd.

735
00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:07,520
Speaker 11: He didn't have the season he wanted, even though it

736
00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:09,640
Speaker 11: looked like if it was gonna be a breakout of years.

737
00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:10,080
Speaker 6: Or what happened?

738
00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:13,000
Speaker 19: You know, what things happen, you know, and and when

739
00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:16,040
Speaker 19: I say things happen like he's a young player who

740
00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:19,560
Speaker 19: puts the team first, who is extremely invested in what

741
00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:21,080
Speaker 19: we do and it's important to him.

742
00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:22,880
Speaker 6: So whenever you got like a young.

743
00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:27,479
Speaker 19: Player like that, seeing more reps on tasks, having more exposure, right,

744
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:30,000
Speaker 19: the guys like that really trend upward fast.

745
00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:32,640
Speaker 16: It seems like depth in the name of the game

746
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:35,360
Speaker 16: for the secondary, for for the corners in particular, How

747
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:37,680
Speaker 16: important is this kind of year for the young guys,

748
00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:39,959
Speaker 16: for the up and comers to be ready for if

749
00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:41,800
Speaker 16: their number is called at any point in the.

750
00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:43,000
Speaker 10: Regular season, what he gets here?

751
00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:45,240
Speaker 19: Sure, we gotta have a heart and toughness and every

752
00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:47,800
Speaker 19: single thing that we do. And without a doubt, you know,

753
00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:50,680
Speaker 19: we just can't depend on, you know, our star players.

754
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:53,080
Speaker 19: We talk about we hold our best players the most accountable.

755
00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:56,600
Speaker 19: So it's very important for our best players to make

756
00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:58,880
Speaker 19: sure that our depth players are ready to go as

757
00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:01,840
Speaker 19: far as with our urgent, see our violence and our

758
00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:04,840
Speaker 19: swag once we get out there. So now we're very

759
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:07,040
Speaker 19: clear on what our cultural standards are and we can

760
00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:07,520
Speaker 19: reflect it.

761
00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:10,160
Speaker 16: You mention that swag seems like, oh, no, matter what

762
00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:12,719
Speaker 16: happened last year, the guys in your group in particular,

763
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:15,760
Speaker 16: we're kind of leading away, keeping the the spirits high.

764
00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:18,520
Speaker 16: How long have you seen that replust and in training

765
00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:19,800
Speaker 16: campus year, the guy's.

766
00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:21,480
Speaker 6: Bringing that swag out here, yes, ma'am.

767
00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:25,280
Speaker 19: Like and and let's let's be clear, that is the expectation, Like,

768
00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:28,560
Speaker 19: that is the expectation for us to really attack the ball,

769
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:30,840
Speaker 19: for us to really set the pace. And we talk

770
00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:34,280
Speaker 19: about setting the pace for our offense, our defense, and

771
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:36,640
Speaker 19: our special team. We talk about we set the pace

772
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:39,080
Speaker 19: at the tip of the sphere for our whole organization.

773
00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:43,160
Speaker 19: So starting fast, making sure that our whole group can

774
00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:45,080
Speaker 19: really function at a high levels important.

775
00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:47,800
Speaker 10: What's an underpr appreciated part of Denzel Wards camps?

776
00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:50,960
Speaker 6: You said the underappreciated I think his leadership.

777
00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:53,160
Speaker 19: You know, I think that you know, we all see,

778
00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:56,160
Speaker 19: you know, the the flashes of speed, we see the

779

Speaker 6: Things like that.

781
00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:02,560

787
00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:13,040
Speaker 19: need to uptick as far as like with our urgency,

788
00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:16,280
Speaker 19: with our attitude. He's somebody that not just our secondary

789
00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:18,719
Speaker 19: leads on, but our nerves center and our engine lead

790
00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:19,400

00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:36,400
Speaker 9: you know what I mean? Like you know, uh, there's

799
00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:40,160
Speaker 9: always the jitter moments of first pads for the first day,

800
00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:41,920
Speaker 9: So I'm excited. I can't wait to see what the

801
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:44,520
Speaker 9: team has to offer, you know, uh and risking of

802
00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:45,080
Speaker 9: work hard.

803
00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:48,960
Speaker 8: They were you ever healthy after before last year? No,

Speaker 8: you and.

806
00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:55,360

807
00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:57,239
Speaker 9: it means, there's no excuse. So I I still had

808
00:33:57,240 --> 00:33:58,680
Speaker 9: the opportunity to do what I was able to do,

809
00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:00,560
Speaker 9: So I'm starving to.

810
00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:02,840
Speaker 5: Do more, do you ren know you think through a

811
00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:06,520
Speaker 5: very tough emotion at that time in the last week

812
00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:07,400
Speaker 5: or so, is it?

813
00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:08,560
Speaker 12: I'm I'm sure let's.

814
00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:11,319
Speaker 5: Be difficult for you to kind of come tark now

00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:13,200
Speaker 5: wise get be here at.

816
00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:15,680
Speaker 9: You know, honestly speaking, I think this is the best

817
00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:16,960
Speaker 9: place that I should be, you know, just being with

818
00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:18,880
Speaker 9: my teammates here every day. You know, they uplift me.

819
00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:20,400
Speaker 9: I've I up left them and we get after it

820
00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:22,759
Speaker 9: and we have fun. So I wouldn't be anywhere else.

821
00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:27,200
Speaker 10: Did What would your case be for Joel Plotonio as

822
00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:27,600

Speaker 6: vote yes. Joel's uh my guy.

825
00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:36,520
Speaker 15: Pro Football Reference gives him some sort of percentage chance

826
00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:37,200
Speaker 15: in the forties.

827
00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:39,560
Speaker 6: Why, that's a pretty good chance.

828
00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:41,000
Speaker 12: Huh, it's better than zero.

829
00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:44,440
Speaker 6: It was not than that, is Clinton spetistically correct? Yeah?

830

831
00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:47,320

832
00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:47,719
Speaker 6: Hall of Fame?

833
00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:47,840

839
00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:02,239
Speaker 9: but I think he uh is a huge part of

840
00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:04,560
Speaker 9: this team for so many years as far so I

841
00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:05,960
Speaker 9: think I think he has a good chance.

842
00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:10,719
Speaker 12: You like Christy, they've been putting in your impressions in

843
00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:11,440

Speaker 10: Last week, Joe said that.

849
00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:25,080
Speaker 16: The offensive line was the one area of this team

850
00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:26,080
Speaker 16: that no one had to worry about.

851
00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:26,879
Speaker 6: They're working really hard.

852
00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:28,520
