1 00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:04,880 Speaker 1: Last year, dating back at the Super guys, you can't 2 00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:07,200 Speaker 1: give it up to six quarters. How much pride you 3 00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:09,840 Speaker 1: guys to your limiting get the team pitching your shot 4 00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:12,719 Speaker 1: out like you didn't watch. I want to say pride 5 00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:15,360 Speaker 1: in that. But I mean we play defense, so Bill 6 00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:17,960 Speaker 1: talks about it every week. You know, the goal is points, 7 00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:20,680 Speaker 1: and um, if we don't give up points, you can't lose. 8 00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:22,639 Speaker 1: You can't you won't lose. You know, you have a 9 00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:25,360 Speaker 1: chance to win every game. So I think defensively, that's 10 00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:28,160 Speaker 1: always our mindset of not giving up points, teams getting 11 00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:31,040 Speaker 1: red area and make them kick three. Um. We we 12 00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:33,400 Speaker 1: always stick with those goals, you know. I think for us, 13 00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:36,640 Speaker 1: it's all about consistently trying to play well, um each game, 14 00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:39,879 Speaker 1: each play, UM, understanding situations. Those are things that we 15 00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:41,519 Speaker 1: got to continue to work on. And that's what we 16 00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:44,080 Speaker 1: talked about these day. About scoring points. You gotta sco 17 00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:51,800 Speaker 1: any gravelry between the offensive defense, you know, I mean 18 00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:55,040 Speaker 1: it's National Football League. Anytime we can score on defense, 19 00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:57,720 Speaker 1: it's it's a plus. Um. But now we don't come 20 00:00:57,760 --> 00:00:59,959 Speaker 1: in here and say, you know we're gonna outscore it off. 21 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:03,440 Speaker 1: It's like we don't we don't see it that way 22 00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:05,640 Speaker 1: of scoring on you. Yeah, it's great. You know, anytime 23 00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:07,520 Speaker 1: we can. You know, we have a great offense here, 24 00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:10,080 Speaker 1: so we can help him and put points on the board, um, 25 00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:12,200 Speaker 1: put him in scoring position. All of that I think 26 00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:15,560 Speaker 1: helps the team win. Ja said that stuff and one 27 00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:18,240 Speaker 1: is probably the best calling back in the NFL. Do 28 00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:20,920 Speaker 1: you agree with that assessment? You just found that out. Yeah, 29 00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:23,759 Speaker 1: I've been agreed with that assessment. Man. The guy's been 30 00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:26,840 Speaker 1: playing lights out UM understanding what we want to do 31 00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:30,840 Speaker 1: from a defensive point standpoint, UM, playing against guys one 32 00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:33,319 Speaker 1: on one. I mean, he does a great job of that. UM. 33 00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:36,039 Speaker 1: And then I think just overall, our secondary communication has 34 00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:38,400 Speaker 1: been great and I think that's allowed each guy to 35 00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:40,720 Speaker 1: kind of played our best football. And you know, stuff 36 00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:54,080 Speaker 1: definitely leads away and that the league. I say more 37 00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:59,080 Speaker 1: Troy than gerade Um just because Girard just hasn't old enough. No, 38 00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:01,520 Speaker 1: you know, both those guys played at a high level. 39 00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:04,800 Speaker 1: And I think you know, obviously from me I experienced 40 00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:07,680 Speaker 1: playing with Mayo, but even Troy. You know, you talk 41 00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:10,160 Speaker 1: about some of the film we see and some of 42 00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:12,239 Speaker 1: the big games, and you see that and I think 43 00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:15,800 Speaker 1: now to kind of get a hands on not only 44 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:19,240 Speaker 1: techniques and with it, but like understanding their mentality, how 45 00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:22,520 Speaker 1: they viewed things has been awesome. You know, just today 46 00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:27,280 Speaker 1: Mayo was talking about tackling and the guy had you know, 47 00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:29,359 Speaker 1: he led the league in tackles I think a couple 48 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:31,720 Speaker 1: of years even. I mean, he had so many tackles 49 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:34,280 Speaker 1: each year he played that When he says that, you know, 50 00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:37,840 Speaker 1: he's not just speaking from some demonstration. He watched it, 51 00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:39,679 Speaker 1: like he went out there and executed this at a 52 00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,480 Speaker 1: high level. Um. So I think that knowledge, you know, 53 00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:44,800 Speaker 1: it's just so valuable to kind of soak all of 54 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,160 Speaker 1: that in, especially for the young guys because you know, 55 00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:48,840 Speaker 1: for me, I got to watch him do those things 56 00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:50,760 Speaker 1: and how we got good at him. But I think 57 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:52,799 Speaker 1: for the young guys and you hear a guy like that, 58 00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:55,480 Speaker 1: you know, pour out and pour into you what he 59 00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:57,240 Speaker 1: learned from other people, what he was able to do, 60 00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:59,200 Speaker 1: you got to soak that in and use that for 61 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,200 Speaker 1: the rest of your career. We'll talk about the level 62 00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:05,520 Speaker 1: of competition and and how that affects how well you 63 00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:08,320 Speaker 1: guys are playing on Sundays, how competitive your offense and 64 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:10,600 Speaker 1: defense and special teams are with each other. Yeah, man, 65 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:12,760 Speaker 1: it's fun. I think we go out there and it's 66 00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:15,360 Speaker 1: not just you know when we go against you know, 67 00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:18,400 Speaker 1: the want offensive, but it's it's across the board. It's 68 00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:21,600 Speaker 1: guys um jumping in there if you know, I gotta 69 00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:24,160 Speaker 1: take a rep and play somebody on the Jets or 70 00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:28,040 Speaker 1: last week Miami, you know Steph Jay doing like all 71 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:31,040 Speaker 1: those guys are getting in there mixing it up. So um, 72 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:34,480 Speaker 1: it's very competitive. I think I think we understand, for 73 00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:36,680 Speaker 1: one as individuals and as a team, how much better 74 00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:38,760 Speaker 1: we get when we go out there and we're going 75 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,920 Speaker 1: against each other and trying to prepare and be ready. Um. 76 00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:44,240 Speaker 1: I think it just heightens our level of play each week. 77 00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:47,120 Speaker 1: So um, guys do that, especially early in the season 78 00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:48,960 Speaker 1: when you don't have a ton of film to go 79 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:51,360 Speaker 1: off of. Just getting good reps really help you out. 80 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:54,000 Speaker 1: And going against this offense. I mean, it doesn't make 81 00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:56,400 Speaker 1: Sundays easy, but it makes it easier, doesn't it. Yeah. 82 00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:58,280 Speaker 1: I mean there's certain things that you know, we'll play 83 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,680 Speaker 1: offenses that you know, dude, they do certain things really well, 84 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:03,520 Speaker 1: and you go against our offense. They do those things 85 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:06,000 Speaker 1: really well. So you go out there and you could 86 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,320 Speaker 1: get some good work. And I think especially with our receivers, 87 00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:11,520 Speaker 1: we kind of got receivers that hit everything. You know, 88 00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,480 Speaker 1: you look at jewels super quick in the slot. Then 89 00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:16,600 Speaker 1: you got a big guy, you got a b and Phil. 90 00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:19,400 Speaker 1: Small guys are fastest. Like you get all of that 91 00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:21,680 Speaker 1: with reps and stuff. So I think that's really been 92 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:24,920 Speaker 1: a plus, you know, from a secondary standpoint of trying 93 00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:26,560 Speaker 1: to do those things. And then obviously when you go 94 00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:28,960 Speaker 1: against Tom his ability to check in and out of 95 00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:31,240 Speaker 1: things and read what you're doing, we know sometimes if 96 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,800 Speaker 1: we can fool him that it's probably gonna work. On Sunday, 97 00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:36,880 Speaker 1: same lines, Bill said this morning that being able to 98 00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:40,839 Speaker 1: practice against James and Rex every week helps you guys 99 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,120 Speaker 1: when you play against a back like Belt and catch 100 00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:45,360 Speaker 1: the law to Backeldlaw. Do you agree with that you 101 00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:47,160 Speaker 1: feel like good helps you guys? Definitely. I would say 102 00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:49,120 Speaker 1: all the way back from April, we've been getting reps 103 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:51,760 Speaker 1: against those guys. When we do one on ones, the 104 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,000 Speaker 1: backers will go against them, the safeties will go against them. 105 00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:56,400 Speaker 1: The corn like we all try to get that because 106 00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:58,800 Speaker 1: I mean, honestly, like we're not gonna play anybody that's 107 00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:01,400 Speaker 1: gonna be better route running in James and Rex like 108 00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 1: they're gonna be guys. It's good like later on, but 109 00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:06,040 Speaker 1: you know, going against those guys, you guys see it. 110 00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:08,280 Speaker 1: They run all a different type of routes. We send 111 00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:10,200 Speaker 1: them deep. You know, Rex called a deep ball at 112 00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:12,480 Speaker 1: the end of the game last week. It's tough. So 113 00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:14,719 Speaker 1: I think each rep, you know, you can actually see 114 00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,080 Speaker 1: us getting better as we're getting reps against those guys, 115 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:19,040 Speaker 1: And I think it gives you a lot of confidence 116 00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:22,719 Speaker 1: when you go out there and playing on Sunday, considering 117 00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:26,440 Speaker 1: you're playing let these guys. Definitely, I think it helps 118 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,240 Speaker 1: us overall to get better. Um. Like I always say, though, 119 00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:30,800 Speaker 1: you know, you go against a guy like that, you 120 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:32,920 Speaker 1: gotta come ready to play no matter how much work 121 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,600 Speaker 1: you've gotten, because he's gonna he's gonna You're gonna have 122 00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:37,280 Speaker 1: to play your top level to even have a chance 123 00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:40,080 Speaker 1: against Levion. So, um, it definitely helps us, but it's 124 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:42,200 Speaker 1: gonna come down and executing against him. Hope you see 125 00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:43,800 Speaker 1: Jared come along the first couple of weeks from the 126 00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:46,640 Speaker 1: scout team and playing two very different quarterbacks and Fitzpatrick 127 00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:49,440 Speaker 1: Tigband now you got here. Yeah, he's done a good job. 128 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:51,760 Speaker 1: I always preference and say I don't know much about 129 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:54,360 Speaker 1: playing quarterback at a high level, so you know, don't 130 00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:56,839 Speaker 1: don't write it down as Devin says, and he knows 131 00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,600 Speaker 1: how to play quarterback because I don't. But um, you know, 132 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:01,680 Speaker 1: I think it's always cool to see young quarterbacks and 133 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,159 Speaker 1: starts seeing some of the little things that they're able 134 00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:05,800 Speaker 1: to do out there in the field, whether it's looking 135 00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:09,120 Speaker 1: safeties off or you know, making checks and do different things. 136 00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:10,680 Speaker 1: So I don't know all the things, but I know 137 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:13,279 Speaker 1: he's doing better out there and he continues to improve. 138 00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:15,200 Speaker 1: But if you're around him, you can tell, like that's 139 00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:17,720 Speaker 1: his kind of mentality of just trying to improve each day. 140 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:19,760 Speaker 1: And I think he's done a good job really since 141 00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:20,440 Speaker 1: he's gotten here.
