1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,320 Speaker 1: We're gonna start with Mike re Rease Um, followed by 2 00:00:03,320 --> 00:00:09,240 Speaker 1: Mike Charity. All right, Kyle, how are you. I'm doing well. 3 00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:12,639 Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to meet face to face this year. 4 00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:15,560 Speaker 1: I think it's looking promising for all of us, you know, 5 00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:19,800 Speaker 1: get done with this virtual stuff. So I just kind 6 00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:22,840 Speaker 1: of start off with a very sort of general question, Um, 7 00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:26,760 Speaker 1: what has been sort of the best part of your 8 00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:34,000 Speaker 1: off season for you personally and football wise? Personally, it's 9 00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:36,239 Speaker 1: kind of a wander the same, I guess. I like, uh, 10 00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:38,000 Speaker 1: I was able to go home and see your family, 11 00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:42,000 Speaker 1: spend spend some time with them, and also just getting 12 00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:44,720 Speaker 1: back up here and being able to share some time 13 00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:49,200 Speaker 1: with my teammates working out and kind of getting getting 14 00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:53,040 Speaker 1: back into the spending things and really doing some more camaraderie. 15 00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:56,040 Speaker 1: It's been really good. So just a family time and 16 00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:59,400 Speaker 1: then also to work with my teammates and when you 17 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:04,000 Speaker 1: at the football side of it, Kyle, Um, what area 18 00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:07,080 Speaker 1: maybe is one year? Obviously all of them, right, but 19 00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:09,280 Speaker 1: is there an area that you really want to drill 20 00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:12,160 Speaker 1: down on that you'd like to see a progression with 21 00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:17,520 Speaker 1: for you? It's kind of like you said, it's really everything, Um, 22 00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:22,679 Speaker 1: I say, just as far as the familiar, familiar, familiarity 23 00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:26,119 Speaker 1: with the like the playbook and just everything I'm doing 24 00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:30,480 Speaker 1: on the field. It's really a big emphasis. Really, like 25 00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:33,080 Speaker 1: you said everything. I mean, it's kind of a general answer, 26 00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:39,880 Speaker 1: but that really is okay. So, and I think Mike 27 00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:42,400 Speaker 1: Charity lowered his hand. Mike Charity, if you want to 28 00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:44,200 Speaker 1: ask a question, just raise your hand again. I'm gonna 29 00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:49,560 Speaker 1: jump to Evan Lazarre, followed by Mark Daniels. Hey, Kyle, 30 00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:53,160 Speaker 1: I just wanted to ask you if you see yourself 31 00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:55,840 Speaker 1: maybe playing a little bit more deep safety this year 32 00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:58,640 Speaker 1: compared to what you did as a rookie, and if 33 00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:00,680 Speaker 1: you would like to, you know, go back to that 34 00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:04,920 Speaker 1: sort of college role of yours a little bit more. Um, 35 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,600 Speaker 1: I can't really say. I'm not sure if I if 36 00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:10,120 Speaker 1: I'm going to be playing back there more. I could 37 00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:14,440 Speaker 1: see anything as possible. Honestly, I do feel comfortable back there. 38 00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:16,840 Speaker 1: So whether that's going to be the case or not, 39 00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:20,639 Speaker 1: I'm not sure, but that's it possible. How much more 40 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,880 Speaker 1: comfortable do you feel now with playing closer the line 41 00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:26,440 Speaker 1: of scrimmage, you know, compared to what do you or 42 00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:30,760 Speaker 1: maybe at the beginning of your rookie season, I feel 43 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:33,919 Speaker 1: way more comfortable with just in general and the defense. 44 00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,760 Speaker 1: I feel much more comfortable. But there's definitely a lot 45 00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:38,960 Speaker 1: of things that look a little bit slower for me, 46 00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,520 Speaker 1: and and I'm seeing things a little slower and a 47 00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:45,600 Speaker 1: little easier, So I definite feel more comfortable already. Are 48 00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:47,880 Speaker 1: you looking forward to going up against Hunter Henry and 49 00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:52,320 Speaker 1: John ewin practice? Oh? Yeah, definitely, I'm looking forward to practice. 50 00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:55,160 Speaker 1: It's gonna be really competitive and everybody's going to be 51 00:02:55,160 --> 00:03:00,120 Speaker 1: getting better for sure.

Thanks Stacy. Hey, Kyle, you're talking about 54 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:10,240 Speaker 1: things getting a little bit slower for you. Was there 55 00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:12,120 Speaker 1: a moment during the course of last season where you 56 00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:17,519 Speaker 1: started to feel that happened for you? Yeah, definitely. Um, 57 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:24,480 Speaker 1: right before my injury, actually, my small me getting hurt 58 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:27,280 Speaker 1: was actually the first game that it started to slow 59 00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:30,720 Speaker 1: down a little bit for me. And after of course that, 60 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,160 Speaker 1: the coming back it was kind of just had to 61 00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:38,400 Speaker 1: readjust but um, Denver, the Denver game was probably when 62 00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:40,480 Speaker 1: I first started to feel a little bit more comfortable. 63 00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:43,080 Speaker 1: And then towards the end of the season as well, 64 00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:51,240 Speaker 1: things started to become a little easier.

Hey, Kyle, 121 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:04,840 Speaker 1: I know we've been talking a lot about Patrick Chump, 122 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:07,359 Speaker 1: but I'm curious because Josh mentioned watching a lot of 123 00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:11,120 Speaker 1: old Patriots. Have you taken to watching any other safeties 124 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:14,160 Speaker 1: here this offseason? You know, older footage you know, maybe 125 00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:18,680 Speaker 1: five ten years ago. Oh yeah, I have. I've watched 126 00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:23,960 Speaker 1: a little bit of Rodney Harrison, and I'm also a 127 00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:25,880 Speaker 1: little bit of Troy Polama left to have about a 128 00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:30,960 Speaker 1: film to get through. But both guys definitely some similarities 129 00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,960 Speaker 1: in just the position they were playing UM in their 130 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,920 Speaker 1: career and the type of game style they played, how 131 00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:39,120 Speaker 1: they played the game. So I've watched a lot of 132 00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:42,360 Speaker 1: them too, and I playing I watching a lot more well, 133 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:45,080 Speaker 1: specifically from Rodney and try. I know those guys were 134 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:47,280 Speaker 1: big hitters, but what else are you kind of taking 135 00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:49,480 Speaker 1: and if anything you want to incorporate into your game, 136 00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:55,120 Speaker 1: just to trust trust of their football instincts, um some 137 00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:58,320 Speaker 1: stuff that that they do. You just you either have 138 00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:01,240 Speaker 1: it just by trusting him playing the game, trusting me yourself? 139 00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:03,360 Speaker 1: Are you you know you don't so some of the 140 00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:05,640 Speaker 1: plays they make, so really just trust they had in 141 00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:09,560 Speaker 1: themselves and what they saw and you know what they 142 00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:11,960 Speaker 1: what the eyes told them and going and making a 143 00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:19,080 Speaker 1: play on it. Thanks Ky. My next question Bob SoC 144 00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:22,160 Speaker 1: followed by Doug Kite. Thanks Stacy, Hi, cal how are 145 00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:27,480 Speaker 1: you good after you're in the NFL? What have you 146 00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:30,640 Speaker 1: learned about how to prepare yourself? You talked about watching 147 00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:35,400 Speaker 1: those guys and instincts. But in terms of knowledge of 148 00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:39,400 Speaker 1: opposing teams and opposing players, how much more advanced are 149 00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:41,280 Speaker 1: you today as a student of the game than you 150 00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:46,280 Speaker 1: were a year ago? I say much more, just in 151 00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:50,440 Speaker 1: the way I realized how much the preparation, how important 152 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:53,800 Speaker 1: it is, and and anything you skip out on, anything 153 00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:56,760 Speaker 1: you still to educate yourself on about your opponent, by 154 00:08:56,800 --> 00:09:00,080 Speaker 1: the team, whatever situation is, it has a high and 155 00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:03,040 Speaker 1: so that's all you're being exposed that that you don't 156 00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:05,200 Speaker 1: know that or you don't have that knowledge. So it's 157 00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:08,679 Speaker 1: really not taking any short questing your preparation and really 158 00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:11,920 Speaker 1: really kind of just doing everything you need to do 159 00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:15,360 Speaker 1: and preparing no matter how long it takes, but how 160 00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:18,280 Speaker 1: much you need to get that. And this off season, 161 00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:23,440 Speaker 1: how did you work on coverage and improving and that 162 00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:26,240 Speaker 1: facet of your game when you're away from the facility. 163 00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:28,600 Speaker 1: We're able to do that.
