1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:00,560 Speaker 1: How are we going? 2 00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:01,320 Speaker 2: How are you. 3 00:00:02,840 --> 00:00:09,960 Speaker 1: Happy New Year? I want good energy? Yeah, good energy in. 4 00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:11,680 Speaker 3: The silence from you on the micd up, how did 5 00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:12,119 Speaker 3: you like that? 6 00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:16,200 Speaker 1: I don't like seeing myself or hearing myself, so not 7 00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:22,760 Speaker 1: a big fan. Not you. I can get both ways. 8 00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:26,640 Speaker 1: I get that he was a coy about whether or 9 00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:29,560 Speaker 1: not he's going to play on Sunday, But what is. 10 00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:32,839 Speaker 4: The potential return of a guy like meaning what you 11 00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:33,800 Speaker 4: guys want to get done. 12 00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:34,520 Speaker 2: In the defensive time? 13 00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:41,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, he brings a lot of value athleticism, you know, 14 00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:44,840 Speaker 1: playmaking ability. So anytime you get a player like that back, 15 00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:47,400 Speaker 1: if he's back, then obviously adds a lot of value 16 00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:49,080 Speaker 1: to our defense and they able to do maybe a 17 00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:51,560 Speaker 1: few more things that maybe we've done in the past 18 00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:54,920 Speaker 1: without him. What did you kind of know about him 19 00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:57,000 Speaker 1: for it? And then go through the season. 20 00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:59,640 Speaker 4: With him the way kind of let the defense worts 21 00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:01,880 Speaker 4: to get out him round Milt. 22 00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:05,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I just knew him as a you know, 23 00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:07,679 Speaker 1: on the outside and watching him with the Eagles. I 24 00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:13,080 Speaker 1: he was a disruptor, explosive, you know, really good pass rusher, 25 00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:18,399 Speaker 1: h uses his hands well. And then when he got here, 26 00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:20,360 Speaker 1: you know, you saw he's about his business. You know, 27 00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:23,120 Speaker 1: he's a professional. You know, you saw how bad he 28 00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:28,759 Speaker 1: wanted you know, results, teams success and you know, personal success, 29 00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:31,759 Speaker 1: and he was pretty driven by that. Anytime you get 30 00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:34,959 Speaker 1: a guy that you know loves winning, and you can 31 00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:37,240 Speaker 1: even tell, like you know, working with him throughout the ear, 32 00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:40,280 Speaker 1: he doesn't get complacent. He knows there's always things to 33 00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:43,240 Speaker 1: work on, and you just love that. Even even when 34 00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:44,520 Speaker 1: we were kind of on a winning streak, you know, 35 00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:47,560 Speaker 1: you could tell he was never satisfied, uh with the 36 00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:49,760 Speaker 1: product that you know he put out there or we 37 00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:51,160 Speaker 1: put out there, which is what you want. You always 38 00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:52,840 Speaker 1: want to stay hungry. That's good to have that type 39 00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:54,040 Speaker 1: of guy in the locker room. 40 00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:56,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, the team just to signed Kobe Minor those fifty 41 00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:57,400 Speaker 2: three stuff. 42 00:01:57,600 --> 00:01:59,200 Speaker 3: If you see from Kobe throughout. 43 00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:04,840 Speaker 1: This season, Man, Kobe works his tail off an extreme competitor, 44 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:09,040 Speaker 1: which is you know why I love him every when 45 00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:11,600 Speaker 1: he's on the on the on the dirty show, the 46 00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:14,919 Speaker 1: dirty defense. You know, given the look, I mean, he's competing. 47 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:18,640 Speaker 1: He's competing with everybody there, you know, Mac Diggs whatever. 48 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:19,640 Speaker 1: He's not backing down. 49 00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:20,520 Speaker 4: Uh. 50 00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:24,880 Speaker 1: You know, he brings a decently physical style play at 51 00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:28,040 Speaker 1: the corner position, and he's just gotten better throughout the year, 52 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:31,000 Speaker 1: throughout the weeks. So I think it's well deserved. You know, 53 00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:32,160 Speaker 1: craig Rey. 54 00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:34,880 Speaker 3: Playing more SAPs, sneaks too, what's he underneath? More stans off. 55 00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,800 Speaker 1: Shootings, doing his job. You know, he's really bought into 56 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:42,080 Speaker 1: that of taking pride in his job, improving his technique, 57 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:46,440 Speaker 1: his pad level. You see him improve upon his mistakes, 58 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:50,240 Speaker 1: not a ton of same mistakes. I think it's just 59 00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:52,960 Speaker 1: earned him more playing time because of that, more reliable. 60 00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:57,079 Speaker 3: And you were said, what do you see the film study? 61 00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:01,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think he has any fear. You know, Uh, 62 00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:03,720 Speaker 1: he got thrown to the fire and I didn't see 63 00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,040 Speaker 1: him bat an eye at it. You know, he was 64 00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:08,120 Speaker 1: a gun slinger in college. He still sees some of 65 00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,960 Speaker 1: that and uh in the in the game tape, like 66 00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:13,080 Speaker 1: he's not afraid to try to fit a ball in 67 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:17,519 Speaker 1: a window. You know, he doesn't play hesitant, and you 68 00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:20,960 Speaker 1: can tell he's still getting the reps, you know. You know, 69 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:22,920 Speaker 1: like I said, it's kind of late when he started, 70 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:26,240 Speaker 1: but he's definitely you know, if he feels like he 71 00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:28,040 Speaker 1: has all the confidence in the role, in himself, in 72 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:32,639 Speaker 1: his arm and he'll fit a tight window. He'll let 73 00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:34,720 Speaker 1: his guys make a play, even when you know, maybe 74 00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:37,560 Speaker 1: it's not you know, open, He'll throw it up and 75 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:42,080 Speaker 1: give his guys a shot.

Like as soon as you're in there, you're 147 00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:48,480 Speaker 1: preparing to be the starter. Like all week you're preparing 148 00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:50,520 Speaker 1: to be the start, prepared to be the starter, and 149 00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:51,840 Speaker 1: you know, we just gotta get you know, there's some 150 00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:53,840 Speaker 1: a little bit of inexperience that came out there a 151 00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:56,200 Speaker 1: little bit, but I think it's things we can get fixed, 152 00:07:58,040 --> 00:07:59,560 Speaker 1: and we just got to continue to get better with 153 00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:01,800 Speaker 1: our tech and are fundamentals really in the run. 154 00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:06,760 Speaker 2: Game when it comes to potentially getting those poor guys back, 155 00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:10,080 Speaker 2: is that kind of like a seamless transition for them 156 00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:12,000 Speaker 2: back in Like how does that kind of work if 157 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,320 Speaker 2: you get those guys pay you know for the playoffs. 158 00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:14,400 Speaker 3: In this way? 159 00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:16,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I would say the one thing about 160 00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:21,200 Speaker 1: those guys specifically is their veterans. You know, they've been 161 00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:26,000 Speaker 1: through it, a lot of pelts on the wall. So 162 00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:30,800 Speaker 1: sometimes those guys don't need all those reps. You know, 163 00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:32,920 Speaker 1: a younger guy, you'd be worried about how he came 164 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,560 Speaker 1: back just because I mean, really anybody I know, because 165 00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:37,240 Speaker 1: it might be a little rusty or whatever it may be. 166 00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:43,240 Speaker 1: But just having those banked reps and understanding how to 167 00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:46,640 Speaker 1: handle the process when you're not out there, you know, 168 00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:49,360 Speaker 1: how they hand itselves like they're still preparing as if 169 00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:52,959 Speaker 1: they were playing each week, you know, and whether out 170 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:57,520 Speaker 1: there this week or not, you know, they're preparing.
