00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:19,880
Speaker 3: one just during practice obviously not having him out there.

11
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:22,440
Speaker 1: Seems like you're more involved with the defense. How's it.

12
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:24,840
Speaker 1: How's your day to day during practice changed?

Speaker 2: being more involved on the defensive side of the ball.

18
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:39,159
Speaker 2: Is just want to be out there doing anything I

19
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:41,080
Speaker 2: can to help, you know, this team win and you know,

20
00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:42,040

Speaker 2: what I'm told. Yeah.

25
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:50,920
Speaker 3: How's it been just getting back out there at you know,

26
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 3: playing the position in college, you know, like riding a bike.

27
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:53,959
Speaker 1: Is there an adjustment?

28
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, but during during OTAs it was kind

29
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 2: of like the same schedule for me, So it's been there.

30
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 2: That was I think the atimation period and now it's

31
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 2: you know, I feel pretty comfortable back there, you know,

32
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 2: moving around back tail and breaking. So it's been fun.

33
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 1: Has been working with some of the other defensive backs

34
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:09,120
Speaker 1: on the roster, some of the other safeties.

35
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 2: I love working with those guys, Pep Doug, Jalen Hawkins,

36
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:15,319
Speaker 2: Josh Bledsoe, Tay like all those guys. I love working

37
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 2: with them. They're all great dudes, and we all just

38
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 2: try to push each other, hold each other to that

39
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 2: to the standard, and you know, it just brings everybody's

40
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 2: level of game up.

41
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 3: Brandons, God Belichick, go team, investing more special teams.

42
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:29,760
Speaker 1: And several players with the roster. That's all they did.

43
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 1: Are you noticing that's similar for the special teams that

44
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:33,960
Speaker 1: at coaching staff.

45
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:37,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I think everybody on the staff understands

46
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 2: how important special teams are as part of the game.

47
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 2: So everyone takes it super serious. And we have, you know,

48
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 2: great coaches with with Springer and Tom Quinny, you know,

49
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 2: even Tip as either assistant. I mean, we have we

50
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:49,559
Speaker 2: have a great group of guys in there making making

51
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 2: sure that we're gonna be already.

52
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 1: To roll, eager to start practicing.

53
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it'll be it'll be interesting. I think

54
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 2: everybody is in the same boat right now. No one

55
00:01:57,320 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 2: really knows what it's gonna look like. So we're just

56
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 2: we're just out here trying to, you know, come up

57
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 2: with the best games that we can to, you know,

58
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 2: get people free and get people to the ball.

59
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 1: Practice structure for you more time on defense.

60
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 2: How are you trying to make up for the time

61
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:15,359
Speaker 2: you used to spend specializing on your coverage as a specialty. Yeah,

62
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 2: I mean we're just we're just having extra meetings with

63
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:19,519
Speaker 2: our coaches, you know, just going over you know, game

64
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:21,520
Speaker 2: plans and you know, bouncing ideas off each other. What

65
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:22,639
Speaker 2: do we think this will look like? What do we

66
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 2: think that will look like? And so it's more of

67
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:27,239
Speaker 2: a you know, a communication where you know, I listen

68
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 2: to what they have to say, they listen to what

69
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:29,639
Speaker 2: I have to say, and we will come up with

70
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 2: whatever's best for the team. And you know, schematically was best.

71
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 1: All those guys were invest right here in this corner

72
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,800
Speaker 1: this field, Like you're doing that off to the side

73
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:41,919
Speaker 1: after practice before you're working with slate.

74
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 2: But I mean the things you used to work with

75
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 2: them when he was a team I think what's slate.

76
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 2: Slate's role right now is more like an advisory role,

77
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,360
Speaker 2: so he's not really as heavily involved in, you know,

78
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 2: on the field right now. So right now I'm just

79
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 2: working with the defense most of the time. So just

80
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:57,799
Speaker 2: my my my focus right now is just manly on

81
00:02:57,880 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 2: defense speaking.

82
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 1: Trying to be a leader.

83
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:06,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I think I lead by example more

84
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:09,359
Speaker 2: than anything, but when needed, you know, I'll definitely throw

85
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 2: my two cents in in there, and you know, just

86
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 2: try to guide people in the right directions. Like I've

87
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 2: had great guys to look up to, like Matthew Slater,

88
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 2: Justin Bethel, Cody Davis, Joe Cardona, like who kind of

89
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 2: taught me the rope. So anything I can do to

90
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 2: you know, pass a little nugget of information down to

91
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 2: a younger guy, like I'm the first one to jump up,

92
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 2: and you know, try to help him point him in

93
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 2: the right direction at least. Oh, yeah, I can't wait.

94
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 2: That's that's what we're both all about.

95
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 1: Off season last year you gone to work out with

00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 2: it was awesome to have him down there. But yeah, same,

103
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 2: it's the same schedule, working out with Adriene again. You know,

104
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 2: just grinding with those guys down in Texas, working in

105
00:03:57,800 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 2: that heat and you know, come up here. Doesn't feel

106
00:03:59,600 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 2: too hot.

107
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 1: Do you think.

108
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 2: Defense now, because it's really good if you guys are doing.

109
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 1: Drilling with you guys like that, it's experienced.

110
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, like they have they have a lot

111
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 2: of you know, football underneath them, and you know they

112
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 2: have a lot of information and so just trying to

113
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:16,839
Speaker 2: be a sponge and absorb everything they have to, you

114
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:18,600
Speaker 2: know say and like coach me up and try to

115
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 2: apply that to the field. Thank you. I love it man.

116
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:26,840
Speaker 2: It's it's it's great energy. Everybody's in here fired up

117
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 2: in the building every day to come be better and

118
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:30,479
Speaker 2: you know, hold each other to that standard and you know,

119
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 2: try to be the best team we can be.

120
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 3: How would you describe uh Champion Springer's like coaching style.

121
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,160
Speaker 2: Oh, he's he's a big ball of energy. I think

122
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 2: that's the best way to describe him, and you know,

123
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,279
Speaker 2: I go and him go back to like twenty nineteen.

124
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 2: I had my short little stay at Arizona, so he was

125
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 2: he was the same way there, So I don't think

126
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 2: he's changed. It's it's energy, it's the energy we need,

127
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 2: and it's it's it's the right kind of energy. Awesome,

128
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:52,280
