1
00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:04,280
Speaker 1: Riads, how the field feel great first time being in pad,

2
00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:06,600
Speaker 1: So it's always a good, good thing.

3
00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:07,360
Speaker 2: That's what we want to play.

4
00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:11,719
Speaker 1: Anyways, Obviously you don't play football and sorts and shirts,

5
00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:14,000
Speaker 1: so get to actually have the pads on and.

6
00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:14,440
Speaker 2: Hit each other.

7
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:20,440
Speaker 3: You look, it's front seven. Obviously there's a lot of talk,

8
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:22,480
Speaker 3: a lot of tension. But just what excites you about

9
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:24,120
Speaker 3: the potential this from some and how and how can

10
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:25,560
Speaker 3: I help you in the second area out?

11
00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:28,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think just knowing that you got a dominant

12
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:31,400
Speaker 1: front up there that can get after the quarterback, They

13
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:34,120
Speaker 1: can stop the run and put pressure on quarterbacks. That

14
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:36,480
Speaker 1: makes them be able to try to get the ball

15
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:38,519
Speaker 1: out quicker and helps us on the back end as

16
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:41,120
Speaker 1: far as time and brushing coverage working together.

17
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 2: After defending the league for a few days here.

18
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:47,560
Speaker 3: What what makes him special and unique as a receiver

19
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:48,200
Speaker 3: from what you've.

20
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:50,960
Speaker 2: Said, Yeah, he's just he's just so explosive. I think

21
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:52,720
Speaker 2: his ability to get.

22
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 1: In and out of his releases, in and out of

23
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 1: his breaks, the suddenness which he moves with that all

24
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:01,320
Speaker 1: the elite receivers have. I think that's something that makes

25
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:02,720
Speaker 1: them incredibly tough to cover.

26
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:07,560
Speaker 4: Everyone talks thought, communication, offensive linement, have and how that's important.

27
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 4: How important is that for you guys on the back end,

28
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 4: and where would you frank that in terms of like

29
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:13,320
Speaker 4: this is important to secondary play?

30
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think communication is everything. If one guy's on

31
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:20,479
Speaker 1: the wrong page, then you're giving up a touchdown, regardless

32
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 1: of if everybody else was doing the right thing. So

33
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:25,320
Speaker 1: definitely making sure that everybody's on the same page. We're

34
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 1: communicating loud early and often it's very important.

35
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 2: There's the competition on the other side affect you in

36
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 2: any way.

37
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 3: I mean, you know I'm gonna affect you because you

38
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 3: know to either deontay or it or it's Cordell.

39
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 5: So how do you see that shaping up?

40
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think the competition is it's between everybody.

41
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 1: There's no you know myself included, right, there's no there's

42
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 1: no starting jobs yet, there's no depth charts that have

43
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 1: been posted.

44
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 2: So I think up and down the roster, everybody's competing.

45
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 1: So regardless of what you know the competition groups are,

46
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 1: we all know that at any given time you gotta

47
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 1: be out there and putting your best foot forward. So

48
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 1: regardless of who you are, we're out there, we're competing

49
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 1: and we're really getting after it.

50
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 5: Alson practice, not standy. Before you step on the field

51
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 5: with your new teammates, do you study their film to

52
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 5: kind of get a sense of what they do well,

53
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:18,080
Speaker 5: what they don't do well, how can you compliment them?

54
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 2: And so, Yeah, for sure.

55
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 1: I think anytime you're watching film, whether I'm watching the

56
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:23,679
Speaker 1: defense or watching the offense, I know I'm gonna go

57
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 1: up against the league. I'm gonna go up against LA,

58
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 1: I'm going up against Russ. So are there any tails?

59
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 2: Right?

60
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:30,800
Speaker 1: So you kind of go against them kind of the

61
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 1: same way you would during the season. Maybe not exactly

62
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:35,079
Speaker 1: the same because you're working on yourself as well, but

63
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 1: definitely trying to get some tails and get some insight.

64
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:40,400
Speaker 2: On the people you're gonna be competing with and against.

65
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 4: Do you use that into and help them out? And like,

66
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:45,640
Speaker 4: hey man, I noticed this, Tael, Can you kind of

67
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 4: change this a little bit?

68
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 2: Yeah for sure.

69
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 1: I mean I'm always going to them, hey what'd you

70
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 1: see here? And then vice versa. So at the end

71
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 1: of the day, we're on the same team, right, We're

72
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 1: not holding any secrets here. If I see something, they

73
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:57,519
Speaker 1: see something, Hey, After you can work on this then

74
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 1: we're all trying to work towards the same goal, all.

75
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 2: Right, just not like the competition aspect.

76
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 4: What have you seen from Tay and from Cordell?

77
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:10,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, Tay and Cordell man they're competing there enough really really, uh,

78
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 1: I think their approach to the game, pre practice, post

79
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 1: practice getting working. Like I said, I think everybody's really

80
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 1: just doing a great job, and that that was perspective.

81
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 3: You've obviously been on the field from really the moment

82
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:27,639
Speaker 3: that Ota started, So you know the leg issue from

83
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:29,359
Speaker 3: back then. I know you probably put it to bet

84
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:32,799
Speaker 3: at some point. Yeah, at what point this offseason were

85
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 3: you able to put that beside you and say, now

86
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 3: I'm going to focus on me and focus on my

87
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 3: game to get back to where maybe you thought you

88
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 3: were going when.

89
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, you got injured. I mean it's a

90
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 2: whole entire process.

91
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 1: Obviously, you go through that process and you get kind

92
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 1: of checkpoints and check marks of things that you're able

93
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 1: to do. But once I got to okay, I mean

94
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 1: I'm we're talking like early March, you know, doing all

95
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 1: types of drills and stuff.

96
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 2: So yeah, that's the way you not worried about that

97
00:03:58,880 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 2: in the monthing.

98
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 3: So are you in your game now? I mean, you

99
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 3: know you were at a point last year in the

100
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 3: season where had it gone a different direction. I mean

101
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 3: maybe talking about you in the league and where you're

102
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 3: at and you know, Pro Bowls and at all the

103
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 3: personal accolades, I'm curious for your game, what do you

104
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 3: think you need to do to get to the next

105
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 3: step for yourself? And is that a motivating factor right

106
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 3: now in addition to being that player.

107
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:24,360
Speaker 2: For this team. Yeah.

108
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:25,920
Speaker 1: I think every time you come in and training camp,

109
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 1: you kind of look at what you did well from

110
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 1: the past season, look at what you didn't do well,

111
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 1: and then you understand it's a clean slate.

112
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:35,159
Speaker 2: You know, regardless of what happened last year, you got

113
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 2: to show it again. Right.

114
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 1: That's the thing about being consistent in this league. That's

115
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,279
Speaker 1: that's what gets you the notoriety or whatever. So I

116
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:43,919
Speaker 1: think you just you wipe the sleen clate, clean slate.

117
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 1: You look at what you did well, look at what

118
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:48,840
Speaker 1: you can improve on, and then you also understand that hey,

119
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 1: it's a new team, it's a new system, and you

120
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:52,599
Speaker 1: got to come bring it every single day.

121
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 3: It's bringing maybe repressive of great work, but this is

122
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 3: a comple sense of Man, what if I could have

123
00:04:57,800 --> 00:04:58,360
Speaker 3: done last year?

124
00:04:58,360 --> 00:04:59,279
Speaker 4: What if I could have stayed healthy?

125
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:01,279
Speaker 2: Or does that kind of what you're trying to do

126
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:01,719
Speaker 2: this year?

127
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:04,360
Speaker 1: No, I'm just I'm always focused on the present. Everything

128
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 1: that happens had to happen, you know. So you could

129
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:08,360
Speaker 1: always say, oh what if this? You know, you can

130
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 1: play that game all you want. But for me, it's

131
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:13,480
Speaker 1: about being present, being where your feet are. And obviously

132
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 1: that situation led me here, so incredibly grateful. Honestly did

133
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 1: that happen because I'm in a position I'm in right

134
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 1: now with a great team, great group of guys, and

135
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:23,839
Speaker 1: the great opportunity.

136
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 4: And I guess, like you said, so it does it

137
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:27,600
Speaker 4: doesn't kind of fuel the present a little bit. You know,

138
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:30,040
Speaker 4: you're anybody's gonna feel like, Okay, I'm here now, let's

139
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 4: prove what I can prove.

140
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:32,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, like I said, I just like to stay in

141
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:35,119
Speaker 1: the present, you know, So everything that happens had to happen.

142
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:35,920
Speaker 2: Happy to be here,
