Speaker 1: progress going into Thursday. I feel like right now we're

4
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:10,560
Speaker 1: just controlling. We're control and cleaning up our technique as

5
00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:13,280
Speaker 1: far as the defense, some things we have to clean up.

6
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:15,680
Speaker 1: But we're still really early on in the season. But

7
00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:17,840
Speaker 1: I feel like we're doing a good job where we're progressing,

8
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:19,880
Speaker 1: like where where we need to progress and making the

9
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:22,520
Speaker 1: adjustments along the way. How about your progress? You're one

10
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:26,160
Speaker 1: is a rookie to now, how what's that like? Uh? Personally,

11
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:27,440
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to put one foot in front of

12
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:30,760
Speaker 1: the other. How physical was today? Seems like you guys

13
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:33,720
Speaker 1: ramped up physical second album. Yeah, so we had two

14
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:36,919
Speaker 1: live periods. So tackle tackle football always good. We've been

15
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:39,479
Speaker 1: we've been tag off for the past couple of days,

16
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:42,280
Speaker 1: so I always got to actually feel what it feels

17
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:46,159
Speaker 1: like to tackle somebody, new position, where your den No,

18
00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 1: I don't think you're talking about yeah now fall back, Yeah,

19
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:51,879
Speaker 1: trying new things out, just uh, seeing where I can go,

20
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 1: anything I can do anytheel like that's gone. Today was

21
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 1: day one, so I didn't even watch the film yet.

22
00:00:57,400 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 1: So we'll see you ever played full back before? It's

23
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,480
Speaker 1: a tight end? Uh So? Did tight end? Did a

24
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:05,119
Speaker 1: little bit of that in college. Uh So, just trying

25
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 1: to get back to that. See a lot of you

26
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 1: and Vathe together working on things, kind of things you

27
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:16,319
Speaker 1: it's taking from him what you do. We just kind

28
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:17,840
Speaker 1: of bounce ideas off of each other, like what do

29
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 1: you see? What do I see out there? What do

30
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 1: we want to do as a defensive line as far

31
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:25,679
Speaker 1: as rush games things like that. So it's just I

32
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 1: didn't we do that all across the D line, not

33
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:29,760
Speaker 1: just even me and Drew. We just go down the

34
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 1: line and just see, like, hey, what do you guys see?

35
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 1: Because we're all professionals at the end of the day,

36
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:34,759
Speaker 1: and we can identify stuff and it's all about being

37
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 1: able to dissect the plays and understanding how to beat

38
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 1: the people on the next WELB, you guys can pay

39
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 1: attention at all to expectations on social media, fans going

40
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 1: into the season of what they're expecting you guys to

41
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 1: do as too. Now, I learned not to pay attention

42
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 1: to social media when they told me I was going

43
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 1: first round. So after that I was kind of like,

44
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 1: you know, like it is what it is. I guess

45
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 1: they don't know everything, so but nah, now you gotta

46
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 1: kind of ignore the noise and just control we you

47
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 1: can control, which is every day out here at practice.

48
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 1: Ken your see, you see your offense every day. Obviously

49
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 1: we're being against you were just in your opinion the

50
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 1: offense stand in terms of progress and cohesion, in terms

51
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:11,799
Speaker 1: of the unit. Shit, I don't know. I'm not in

52
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:14,639
Speaker 1: an offensive room, but you play you play against, Yeah,

53
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 1: But like I'm not getting the correction, So I could

54
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 1: tell you a bunch of things of like what I

55
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 1: see from a defensive perspective, but at the end of

56
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 1: the day, I don't know what they're trying to do

57
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 1: because I'm not in the room. An offense that's kind

58
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 1: of tougher to go against. Yeah, So that we're all

59
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 1: getting better both sides, and we always challenge each other

60
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 1: every day to see who wins the day. And and

61
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 1: as a offense, you love to see like some of

62
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 1: theys that they they win they won earlier in the

63
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:38,639
Speaker 1: week last week, and then we came back and responded.

64
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:40,360
Speaker 1: So you want that as far as the team to

65
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 1: be competitive going back and forth on your days as

66
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 1: I'm really looking forward to so seeing what we have

67
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 1: out there. We got the UH Panthers. Obviously it's the preseason,

68
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:53,800
Speaker 1: so you don't know who's gonna be out there, but

69
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:55,919
Speaker 1: just looking forward to, like going against somebody else finally

70
00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:00,240
Speaker 1: how much. Nah, I just kind of go out there

71
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 1: and do what they tell me to do. It's the

72
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 1: number one thing you wanna work on individually, and then

73
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 1: you're not gonna want to that you wanna work on

74
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:11,240
Speaker 1: the personally. Just being a dominant player, strike up with

75
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:14,360
Speaker 1: my hands, getting knock back, vertical separation, and then uh

76
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:16,639
Speaker 1: getting off the ball and making my tackles. And then

77
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 1: as a unit, being the number one defense that's always

78
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:21,959
Speaker 1: a goal and being number one for sure. Yeah, to

79
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 1: be kind of challenges you wanna get some like to

80
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:28,080
Speaker 1: wain a time your machad. Mike's a really good guard.

81
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:30,919
Speaker 1: I challenge myself to go against him every day. That's

82
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:33,959
Speaker 1: kind of the guy that I wanna go against every day,

83
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 1: and a lot of times he gets the better of me.

84
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 1: But that's that's I like that because that's makes me

85
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 1: better at the end of the day. Do you get

86
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 1: to choose those matchics? Like, do you get to say

87
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 1: I wanna go against him. Approaches that you do that

88
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 1: into coaches decide, how's that worked? Yeah, we have a

89
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 1: lot of freedom in our in our defensive room, so

90
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 1: I kind of just line up there we go where

91
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 1: we go. Yeah, I know you mentioned her your hand

92
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:56,119
Speaker 1: plays gonna technique. You know you can win with power obviously,

93
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 1: Like how do you feel like the secondary rush throws

94
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 1: are developing for you? Uh? To be honest, I haven't

95
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 1: used a power move all all camp, so trying to

96
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 1: develop that, uh, other moves outside of power. My questions

97
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 1: of communication, you don't it's a freend like you know,

98
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:19,080

100
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,600
Speaker 1: it's nothing really like him telling me how I need

101
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 1: to get ready to Foxborough Like that was good last year,

102
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:29,120

00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 1: give him shit about it. But uh, but that was

106
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 1: just a play. It is what it. I'm sure he's
