15
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:57,640
Speaker 5: You know, obviously, Tony, you have conversations with ownership after

16
00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 5: every season and sitting down with me and sitting down

17
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:05,679
Speaker 5: with j W H and obviously to entrust myself and

18
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:08,679
Speaker 5: Andrew that their family has given us that uh, you know,

19
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:11,040
Speaker 5: that trust to be here is a big deal. So

20
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 5: with Dan, Jimmy Whitney and JW. I mean, they've been

21
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 5: ultra supportive of us in a football way and in

22
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 5: in a personal way. They've been great to our family,

23
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 5: so really excited to continue to partner with Andrew, and

24
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 5: we have work to do.

25
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 6: Do you feel, you know, players who get their second

26
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:32,039
Speaker 6: contract feel they've accomplished quite a bit?

27
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:35,200
Speaker 4: Do you feel as a head coach, No, that's an achievement.

28
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:38,360
Speaker 3: No, got work to do, Kevin.

29
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 2: I mean before you there's a lot of turnover work

30
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 2: at your position, right, so now there's gonna be stability

31
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:46,399
Speaker 2: that most organizations had in a long long time. Why

32
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 2: do you think you and Andrew have been able to

33
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 2: kind of create those people?

34
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 5: I think for Andrew and I, you know, it's a

35
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:56,919
Speaker 5: partnership where we're gonna we take our jobs seriously. We really,

36
00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 5: you know, we we we understand the jobs we have

37
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 5: in this town. We understand our fans and and what

38
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 5: they want this team to be.

39
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 2: Uh.

40
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 5: So we're just gonna focus on working, you know, every

41
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 5: waking minute to get this thing where we want it.

00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 3: Uh. But but I just come.

43
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 5: Back to this is uh, you know for the organization

44
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,919
Speaker 5: that trust Andrew and I uh speaks to what we've

45
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 5: been able to do.

46
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:19,799
Speaker 3: But we have plenty of work to do.

47
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:20,400
Speaker 7: Uh.

48
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:22,960

49
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 5: this building, Coaches, players, staff, So, uh, we'll just continue

50
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 5: to work.

51
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:28,679
Speaker 4: Does Kevin.

55
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:40,640
Speaker 5: You're uhh yeah, nothing changes for us. You know, we

56
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:43,240
Speaker 5: walk in this building, uh when you're talking about Andrew

57
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 5: and myself, and I think every coach, every player you

58
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 5: walk in here. Uh, and you have a job to

59
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 5: do and we focus on that.

60
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 3: Job coven together.

61
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 7: You guys have accomplished two of the three PLAYFF campaigns.

62
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:53,920
Speaker 9: Since the.

63
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:59,520
Speaker 7: Two time coaching here. But I'm guessing you probably feel

64
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:02,679
Speaker 7: like you guys have maybe only scratched the surface of

65
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 7: what you hope to accomplish year.

66
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:05,679
Speaker 5: Of course, I mean we have work to do, and

67
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:08,800
Speaker 5: until you've got that final one checked off, you haven't

68
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 5: done it.

69
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 3: And that's for us. As you know that there's one.

70
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:15,679
Speaker 5: Goal for every football team, every franchise, and that's where

71
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 5: we will keep our sites. Obviously, in between you try

72
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 5: to to win some ball games and do right by

73
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:25,679
Speaker 5: the community and those type of things. But we and

74
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 5: every all thirty two clubs, we have one thing in money.

75
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 10: Kevin.

76
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 11: It's been really difficult for your predecessors, and Andrew's predecessor

77
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 11: to get on the same page and to put a

78
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 11: program together. Why have you and Andrew been able to

79
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 11: work so well together, not only work well together, but

80
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 11: produce results as from.

81
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 5: That point, Yeah, obviously work every single day with Andrew.

82
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 5: I wish he was smarter, just wasn't blessed with the

83
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 5: intelligence unfortunately, But no, honestly.

84
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 3: We work every day. We push each other. I don't

85
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 3: know to speak to the past, I don't. I don't

86
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 3: know that we care. Anybody cares, but we just kind

87
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 3: of focus on the work.

88
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 4: How do you think you can improve as a headcut?

89
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think I better be getting better every day.

90
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 5: We're just talking with one of our players yesterday about

91
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:20,480
Speaker 5: getting percentage points better every single day. It can come

92
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 5: in a bunch of different ways it can come. And

93
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 5: how you run your practices, how you reach your football team,

94
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:27,599
Speaker 5: how you message your football team. Obviously we're measured by

95
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 5: wins and losses, but our goal as a team, players, coaches, staff,

96
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 5: we're trying to get better every day.

97
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 4: How don't you ever satisfy me?

98
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 5: If you guys win the Super Bowl, then the next

99
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 5: day you'll be thinking we have to.

100
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 4: Win another one.

101
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:46,280
Speaker 3: Ask me, then, Jeff, I'll let you know, Kevin, how much.

102
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 10: You're you looking forward to the day you see Nick

103
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 10: chubbing show.

104
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, just saw Nick in there. You guys are gonna

105
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 5: talk to him today. I think he's working like crazy,

106
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 5: you know, I know everybody wants to know, you know,

107
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:04,360
Speaker 5: when and when's he gonna do this?

108
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:05,040
Speaker 3: When's he gonna do that?

109
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 5: I know this, He is working like crazy, and I

110
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:10,159
Speaker 5: got to I get to witness it in our building.

111
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 5: I get to see him in our meetings. He's a huge,

112
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 5: huge part of our program. He's a huge part of

113
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 5: what we do.

114
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 3: Uh.

115
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:19,720
Speaker 5: And you know, I'll let Nick speak for himself, but

116
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:21,919
Speaker 5: I get to witness him work firsthand.

117
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:24,040
Speaker 12: Not to cause you any pain, but thinking back to

118
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 12: that Week two injury when you saw him go down

119
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:27,600
Speaker 12: last year, I know you you always.

120
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:29,920
Speaker 10: Say next man will whatever? Is it easier said than

121
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,159
Speaker 10: done in a situation like that, considering.

122
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 5: What he means to his team, of course, and you

123
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:39,160
Speaker 5: don't replace those type of players or people. You know,

124
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 5: we knew Nick was gonna go rehab and be back,

125
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 5: and you know, none of us felt good about that.

126
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:46,720
Speaker 5: But it's not like he wasn't around last year. He

127
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 5: was still around, So you don't replace players like that.

128
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:52,360
Speaker 5: Obviously people have to pick up there some slack in

129
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 5: that type of thing. But uh, he's a again, I

130
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:58,599
Speaker 5: mean this is not breaking news, but he's a huge,

131
00:05:58,720 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 5: huge part of what we do.

132
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 13: Are you howl in little the extension that we talked

133
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:06,719
Speaker 13: a lot about the saddle, you know which, the.

134
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:08,039
Speaker 3: Message not getting to steal?

135
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:12,560
Speaker 13: How do you go about making sure that doesn't hows

136
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,360
Speaker 13: when you're next to studying it.

137
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 5: I think it's one of our jobs as coaches is

138
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 5: to reach our players, and that can come in a

139
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:22,720
Speaker 5: variety of ways. And we we talk even when you're

140
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,720
Speaker 5: teaching and you're learning, there are different ways to do that.

141
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 3: There's different settings for a guy to learn.

142
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:31,680
Speaker 5: So we spend a lot of time as coaches trying

143
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 5: to find ways to reach our guys. Not everybody learns

144
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 5: the same way. Not everybody uh thinks exactly like you do.

145
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 5: So we work really really hard to meet our guys

146
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 5: where they are.

147
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 9: Uh.

148
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:43,839
Speaker 5: I think part of that is getting to know each

149
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 5: other and learn building trust uh with each other. That

150
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:49,039
Speaker 5: allows you to get to that point, But it takes

151
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 5: some hard work.

152
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 6: Are you at all interested to see what it's like

153
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 6: to coach a game? On Sundays without worrying about the

154
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 6: next two or three plays.

155
00:06:55,480 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 3: And for me, that's about Uh, I don't know.

156
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 5: Fier yeah it wa yeah potentially not really Honestly, that's

157
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 5: not really our focus right now. Deshaun was calm plays

158
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:10,920
Speaker 5: in that last period. He did a pretty good job,

159
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 5: So maybe he'll do it this fall.

160
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 4: John Kid going to.

161
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 2: To go back to when you came here in twenty twenty, Uh,

162
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 2: first time head coach. Did you envision this? Did you

163
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 2: f get did you allow yourself to think? Okay, four

164
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 2: years from now it could become a time where I

165
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 2: sign up and I'm gonna be in Cleveland for the

166
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 2: next next number of years.

167
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 5: I don't really operate that way. I don't know that

168
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 5: any of our coaches players operate that way. We walk

169
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 5: in the building and we got a job to do.

170
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 3: Uh.

171
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 5: We take our job seriously. We wanna do the best

172
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 5: that we can for this community, for this organization. Uh,

173
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 5: but we really I'd at least I can speak for myself,

174
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 5: and I think I can speak for our team.

175
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 3: We don't think that way. Did you ever envision that?

176
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 14: Uh?

177
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 7: When you get towards the end of your next contract,

178
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:51,560
Speaker 7: you might have.

179
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 5: A college student in college, Mary Kay wants to talk

180
00:07:55,360 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 5: about high school. I think, yeah, that's well, there's a

181
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 5: lot of anxiety in the household, but when kids are

182
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 5: getting older. But yeah, I mean, and that does allow

183
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 5: me the opportunity, Mary Kay, just to talk about you know,

184
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 5: for my family, for our players, our coaches, we feel

185
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 5: very much a part of this community, as all of

186
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 5: us know that have kids. It's it's crazy to see

187
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 5: him grow in front of you, and when you do

188
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 5: get to some mile markers, you do reflect and look back.

189
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 5: So certainly crazy for me to think that way, but

190
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:33,599
Speaker 5: very very fortunate, very very appreciative of the support we

191
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 5: get from this community.

192
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 11: I know we're actually about having Mike rabelin the fold

193
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:39,599
Speaker 11: here to help you out. It's one thing to be

194
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:41,079
Speaker 11: sitting in a room with him and you know, have

195
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 11: him point things out on film or whatever, but just

196
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 11: the influence not on he's having on you, but the

197
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 11: but the staff when he's out there on the field

198
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:50,960
Speaker 11: in the middle of the drills, engage with not only

199
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 11: the coaches but the players.

200
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, Rabes is an incredible asset for us organizationally, He's

201
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:59,559
Speaker 5: an incredible asset for me. I don't know what he

202
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 5: would be doing if he wasn't here. He cannot sit

203
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 5: on a couch. So uh, he we're getting our money's worth,

204
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 5: and he's in every drill and he's doing great in

205
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:10,400
Speaker 5: the meetings, and you know, I just like I've told him, Uh,

206
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:12,079
Speaker 5: he's a energy multiplier.

207
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 3: It's fun having him around.

208
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 8: Uh.

209
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:16,800
Speaker 5: He's a great, great influence for our young coaches. He

210
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 5: can provide some really good mentorship to our young coaches,

211
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 5: and obviously he provides great value to our coaching staff

212
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 5: as well.

213
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:26,320
Speaker 2: It was the first time we saw a Dorian broke before.

214
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, he just recently got back up to throwing.

215
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 2: Is it a similar schedules to Shawn?

216
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:35,839
Speaker 5: Kind of different Yeah, different injury, different timeframe. But we'll

217
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 5: be smart there and just kind of do what the

218
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 5: docs tell us.

219
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 6: We were able to see the little climpse on the

220
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:45,440
Speaker 6: kickoff yeah today, you saw it yesterday. Yeah, So now

221
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:49,479
Speaker 6: that you see a little conceptualize on the field, any

222
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:50,720
Speaker 6: any new feelings.

223
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:52,160
Speaker 3: No, I think for our players.

224
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 5: Speaking of new feelings, I think, uh, they get to

225
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:57,199
Speaker 5: experience the speed of the play and how much when

226
00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 5: you're on that kickoff team, how much sooner the return

227
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:00,160
Speaker 5: is on you.

228
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:02,559
Speaker 3: That's something that a bunch of guys have mentioned to me.

229
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:04,840
Speaker 5: Just you know, back in the old days, you can

230
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 5: run thirty yards and find the ball and start to

231
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:08,599
Speaker 5: get in your lane, and now it's just like you

232
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 5: come out of your stance and bam, you're that play

233
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 5: is on you. So I think they're getting a feel

234
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 5: for that. I think the preseason will be a big

235
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 5: deal and getting some of those reps. I think our

236
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:19,679
Speaker 5: practices with the vikings out here will be helpful in

237
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 5: that regard. But so it's it's still a work in

238
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 5: progress for players and coaches still more.

239
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:27,720
Speaker 15: Teaching style and sell coaches.

240
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 16: I mean, we talked about the persatility of players now

241
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:31,960
Speaker 16: for that is for you guys who feel how important

242
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 16: is versatility in the coaching staff and.

243
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 3: Really in the front office.

244
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 5: And yeah, versatility is important, and you know, I would

245
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:39,839
Speaker 5: point to you know, we're just talking about coach Raves,

246
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 5: coach Muskgrave, guys that are on our staff that can

247
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 5: can fill in in different areas and can assist. We've

248
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 5: been very fortunate to have some coaches that can bounce

249
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:52,199
Speaker 5: around offense, defense, special teams and provide value in a

250
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:52,960
Speaker 5: bunch of different ways.

251
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 2: So a couple of linemen on either side of the

252
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 2: ball on that kick off. How much does it feel

253
00:10:58,120 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 2: like a scrimmage.

254
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:02,320
Speaker 5: Pay Yeah, at the end of the day, I think

255
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 5: with the ball in the hand. You know, that's what

256
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 5: we were talking about a while back. If you remember, Uh,

257
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:09,880
Speaker 5: it may not look initially to our fans and to

258
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:12,719
Speaker 5: viewers like a f a football play that they're used to,

259
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 5: but it still is blocking, it still is tackling, it

260
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 5: still is running. So at the end of the day,

261
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 5: technique is still the number one thing that we're gonna coach.

262
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:22,440
Speaker 3: Number one thing that's important on that play.

263
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:24,880
Speaker 5: Uh. When you reduce the distance and the speed a

264
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 5: little bit, now you're gonna get potentially those bigger players

265
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:29,480
Speaker 5: out there. So we'll continue to rep them and be

266
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 5: ready to, uh, to evolve based on how the play

267
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:34,560
Speaker 5: is is unfolding question.

268
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:37,560
Speaker 13: Uh, All just talks a lot about that length becoming

269
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 13: like this offensive type of plan. Do you see that

270
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 13: as an opportunity to being like an offensive line coach.

271
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 13: Are they tapping into your expertise and like drawing.

272
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:47,600
Speaker 5: Things up and sort of the There are definitely things

273
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:50,520
Speaker 5: that we've sat down and talked about that maybe look

274
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 5: like an offensive play.

275
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 3: Uh, I know this.

276
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:55,280
Speaker 5: It's another play where offensive players can touch the ball

277
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 5: as well. So you're gonna have two guys in the

278
00:11:57,440 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 5: landing zone and those two guys get an opportunity to

279
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:02,480
Speaker 5: do to with the ball. So guys, if you can

280
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 5: believe it, often want the ball. So there's a play

281
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 5: where head out there and go get the ball. Thanks, okay,

282
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:08,959
Speaker 5: thank you, guys, appreciate it.

283
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 1: Next up running back Nick Chubb, who is coming off

284
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:15,839
Speaker 1: that severe knee injury that he suffered on Monday Night

285
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 1: in Pittsburgh this past season. He's looking to bounce back

286
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,120
Speaker 1: this upcoming season stronger than ever.

287
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 8: I don't kind of describe the progression through the rehab

288
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 8: and where you are, what stage you are right now

289
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 8: in terms of what we recovery.

290
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 17: Yeah, I'm getting better every day, you know, taking the

291
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 17: day by day getting better. Yeah, just right now, trying

292
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:36,600
Speaker 17: to get stronger.

293
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 4: Are you satisfied where you're at right now?

294
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 3: I like where I'm at.

295
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:43,560
Speaker 17: You know, I'm where I need to be. I would

296
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 17: say that, you know, the biggest stave form is getting

297
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:45,679
Speaker 17: better every day.

298
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:47,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's going through that.

299
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:49,680
Speaker 10: Experience when you're at.

300
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:52,320
Speaker 3: Georgia, help you in this path.

301
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:54,559
Speaker 17: I would say it does help just knowing how to

302
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 17: attack it mentally and knowing, you know, I might not

303
00:12:57,360 --> 00:12:59,960
Speaker 17: be at a certain point where through through the rehab

304
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 17: process that I wanna be, but I know, you know,

305
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:03,680
Speaker 17: taking the day by day and the week's add up

306
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 17: in the months added up, and eventually I'll get to

307
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:05,800
Speaker 17: where I wanna be.

308
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:06,960
Speaker 16: Think, what are your.

309

Speaker 3: Is there no timeline in terms of any mm No.

315
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:23,160

510
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:16,600
Speaker 21: this game given what happened at Georgia. But in some ways,

511
00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:19,840

540
00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 17: it was you know, it was a blurry two weeks.

541
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:20,960
Speaker 17: So I don't think about it much and I'm just moving.

542
00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 20: Forward, Nick rob Not only were your teammates obviously uh

543
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:28,160

544
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:31,200

546
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:33,960
Speaker 3: to you and what did that mean?

547
00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:35,960
Speaker 17: Yeah, it meant a lot. You know, I have God's

548
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:38,520
Speaker 17: tweeting at me all across the NFL. You know, just

549
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:40,400
Speaker 17: it shows the end of the day, we're all human

550
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 17: and we're all in this together. And you know, injuries

551
00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:45,400
Speaker 17: they're suck, but that do happen. But you know it's

552
00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:46,920
Speaker 17: all about you know, being there for your brother.

553
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:50,160
Speaker 7: You want some money or you get your your teammates

554
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:55,520
Speaker 7: right away dedicated your one entire season to you, and then.

555
00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:59,320
Speaker 21: Even when other guys got hurt like the season wasn't

556
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:01,359
Speaker 21: dedicated to anybody else big games?

557
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:03,399
Speaker 4: So how did that make you feels? It seems like

558
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:05,880
Speaker 4: it really helped him to get to the playoffs.

559
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:08,080
Speaker 17: I mean, I think the biggest thing is just being

560
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:11,200
Speaker 17: around a building, you know, And I probably don't say much,

561
00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:12,560
Speaker 17: but you know, I I come on the field and

562
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:13,880
Speaker 17: on a game day and you know, I just work

563
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:15,840
Speaker 17: and I think guys know notice that.

564
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:16,760
Speaker 3: And they started to see that.

565
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:18,920
Speaker 17: And you know when I wasn't there, you know, he

566
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 17: saw more guys you know, d doing a little extra

567
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:23,320
Speaker 17: more just because and they helped us out.

568
00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:27,480
Speaker 8: Myames kind of going through you know, come back from

Speaker 17: we work out together, and uh he's he's in a

574
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 17: great spot. You know, he's doing great and you know

575
00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:39,720
Speaker 17: he'll be a a great, a big part of the school.

576
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:42,520
Speaker 3: How about you were a president of the team, helping

577
00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:45,200
Speaker 3: with your teammates with how did that help be sent

578
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:47,880
Speaker 3: else on the street meet? Was that just being here

579
00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:49,920
Speaker 3: other facility like he coming that's great deal?

580
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:52,760
Speaker 17: How did that helping the games, Uh, heed me a lot,

581
00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:54,600
Speaker 17: you know, just like I said earlier, being around, be

582
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:57,239
Speaker 17: around the game, being around the guys and watching 'em

583
00:22:57,240 --> 00:22:59,119
Speaker 17: guarut there and you know, win win these games and

584
00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:01,720
Speaker 17: practice hard. You know, all that definitely motivated me to

585
00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:03,800
Speaker 17: to get stronger and get better and then get back

586
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:04,120
Speaker 17: out there.

587
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:06,720
Speaker 18: I think maybe don't have the timetable on your return

588
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:09,280
Speaker 18: or when you look at everything that you've been through

589
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:13,119
Speaker 18: and continue to go through, it almost maybe like one

590
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:15,040
Speaker 18: of an anxious feel to want to.

591
00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:17,440
Speaker 3: Get back out there, but also, like you say, ticket

592
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:20,000
Speaker 3: one day at a time. It's kind of a mixture.

593
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:22,120
Speaker 3: But do it make you more eager to get out?

594
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:25,600
Speaker 3: Not necessarily. You know, I'm doing everything I can at

595
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:25,960
Speaker 3: this point.

596
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:28,119
Speaker 17: You know I'm right where I want to be, and

597
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:29,840
Speaker 17: when that time happens, when I feel great, you know

598
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:30,600
Speaker 17: I'll be on the field.

599
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:36,320
Speaker 6: But until then, Georgia, you did play first game the

Speaker 14: Though, Mike's been great. Mike's been great. He's been real

629
00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:58,960
Speaker 14: serious and just all about ball. He's explosive, he knows

630
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:01,640
Speaker 14: how to rush already tweaking some things right now with him.

631
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:04,600
Speaker 14: But he's physical, he's fast. I love the way he's

632
00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:07,160
Speaker 14: cornering right now, and he's just you know, just scratching

633
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:09,080
Speaker 14: the surface of what he can do for us in

634
00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:09,679
Speaker 14: this defense.

635
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:10,320
Speaker 2: It's funny I.

636
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:13,160
Speaker 19: Asked you a similar question, and I mean, coaching style wise,

637
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:15,440
Speaker 19: you guys both seem very detail oriented.

638
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:18,640
Speaker 1: See you out there with your position group, absolutely.

639
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:20,760
Speaker 19: Yes, How important is that to you as a coach,

640
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:24,000
Speaker 19: and especially this point in the story, Well, it's everything.

641
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:26,360
Speaker 14: I mean, you know, you know you got some guy.

642
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:28,800
Speaker 14: You know every not everybody could be Miles Garrett, right,

643
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:33,800
Speaker 14: and so what separates everybody is details, your technique in details.

644
00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:35,960
Speaker 14: And so the more that these guys can get down

645
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:38,720
Speaker 14: the details of their job alright and go out and

646
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:41,119
Speaker 14: execute it, the better off will be. So I'm i

647
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:45,480
Speaker 14: really hard details, technique, fundamentals, and obviously effort. We gotta

648
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:46,960
Speaker 14: be a high effort team at all times.

649
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:48,040
Speaker 22: I'm talking about that.

650
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:52,000
Speaker 16: I mean, how do you reinforce something when they're doing

651
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:54,840
Speaker 16: something well, yeah, and when they're not doing something well yeah,

652
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:56,920
Speaker 16: to make sure that balance of not being too hard

653
00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:59,119
Speaker 16: on him, but also you know, drilling it into him

654
00:25:59,119 --> 00:25:59,680
Speaker 16: because it's early.

655
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:01,879
Speaker 14: Well, you know, first of all, you know, I I

656
00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:04,840
Speaker 14: I'm not type of coach that you know, cusses my

657
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:07,040
Speaker 14: guys out. I don't believe that they're grown, grown man

658
00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:09,560
Speaker 14: that won a lot of games. My job is to

659
00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:11,639
Speaker 14: make sure that they're doing things right, that they're building

660
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:14,960
Speaker 14: dependable habits, that they're working hard, that they're they're giving

661
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:17,840
Speaker 14: tremendous effort on every single play. Whether it's we're in

662
00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:21,520
Speaker 14: in Indie Okay or Team Drew, nothing changes for us.

663
00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:23,920
Speaker 14: We're still gonna launch, we're still gonna come off the ball,

664
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:26,200
Speaker 14: We're still gonna attack people, We're gonna use our hands,

665
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:28,119
Speaker 14: we're gonna rush, We're gonna be very detailed in all

666
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:32,040
Speaker 14: our games and our execution of our pressures, and uh, ultimately,

667
00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:34,320
Speaker 14: we're always, at the end of the day gonna try

668
00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:35,160
Speaker 14: and practice winning.

669
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:38,960
Speaker 19: Shrek Jim talked extensively last week about the wildcard loss

670
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:41,560
Speaker 19: and what happened in the game in Houston, and I

671
00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:43,239
Speaker 19: know there were There was that game, and then there

672
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:44,760
Speaker 19: was a couple of games in the regular season where

673
00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:47,760
Speaker 19: the d line didn't get a sack and he wasn't afraid.

674
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:48,520
Speaker 2: To kind of cheer the unit.

675
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:51,639
Speaker 19: Yeah, yeah, I mean just getting that pressure. I mean,

676
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:53,680
Speaker 19: what do you think that you can bring. Obviously so

677
00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:56,600
Speaker 19: many guys are back, but just kind of maybe correcting

678
00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:58,240
Speaker 19: some of those things that you got to see from the.

679
00:26:58,320 --> 00:26:59,520
Speaker 2: Other side, I guess helpful.

680
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:02,440
Speaker 14: Yeah, you know, And like I said, you know, from

681
00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:04,399
Speaker 14: the start, we got a lot of guys with a

682
00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:06,920
Speaker 14: lot of experience in rushing the passer, right, got a

683
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:09,080
Speaker 14: guy with sixty sacks in his career, We got the

684
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:10,800
Speaker 14: defensive player of the year. So we have guys that

685
00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:13,200
Speaker 14: can rush the passer. My job is to make sure

686
00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:15,480
Speaker 14: that they do know the fine details of their past

687
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:18,600
Speaker 14: rush play their pass rush games all right, and they

688
00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:20,960
Speaker 14: go out and execute at the end of the day. Okay,

689
00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:24,239
Speaker 14: everybody on this in this defensive line can rush, all right.

690
00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:25,919
Speaker 14: It's my job is to find the guys that can

691
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:29,680
Speaker 14: rush together. Right, four guys equals one rushing together, attacking

692
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:33,119
Speaker 14: the pocket, assault in the pocket, and just we're just

693
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:36,399
Speaker 14: conversion on the pocket every single play. So once we

694
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:39,159
Speaker 14: establish that, then we talk about you know, if we're

695
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:42,320
Speaker 14: not rushing, we're stealing. Okay, playing is simple. If we're

696
00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:44,840
Speaker 14: not rushing, we're stealing. We're stealing from our kids, our family,

697
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:48,200
Speaker 14: the fans, everybody, this organization. So I want guys that

698
00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:50,680
Speaker 14: want to get after the quarterback. That's what we're trying

699
00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:52,199
Speaker 14: to figure out right here, right now.

700
00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:52,840
Speaker 3: Okay.

701
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:56,360
Speaker 14: I want guys that want to rush, rush, violently, come

702
00:27:56,440 --> 00:28:00,480
Speaker 14: after their man, attack the pocket, assault the pocket, crush

703
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:03,960
Speaker 14: the pocket as much as they can, no no finesse stuff.

704
00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:06,440
Speaker 14: We want dogs that are just coming at the quarterback

705
00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:08,320
Speaker 14: at all times. We want to suffocate the pocket.

706
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:11,560
Speaker 8: Okay, to talk with that, we talked so much when

707
00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:13,280
Speaker 8: we talk about passwords, we talk about the guys on

708
00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:16,400
Speaker 8: the edge. But how big is that that interior rush,

709
00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:18,680
Speaker 8: you know and then developing it because I know like

710
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:20,920
Speaker 8: you had that, and you had that a lot used

711
00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:23,280
Speaker 8: and that they had it last year here with But

712
00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:26,080
Speaker 8: how big what does that do?

713
00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:29,800
Speaker 3: Maybe different from that that that edge rush?

714
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:32,080
Speaker 14: Yeah, I mean it's the most important part of the

715
00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:35,320
Speaker 14: rush is those two defense tackles. Okay, nothing can happen

716
00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:37,720
Speaker 14: unless those two different tackles are collapsing the depth of

717
00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:41,000
Speaker 14: the pocket. And so we focus on those guys a

718
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:43,480
Speaker 14: lot on on the different things that they have to do,

719
00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:45,640
Speaker 14: the different techniques that they have to do in order

720
00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:47,760
Speaker 14: to do that right, they have to be specific with

721
00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:50,440
Speaker 14: their foot their their their their footwork with their hands

722
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:52,560
Speaker 14: and what they're doing with their hands. And then ultimately

723
00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:55,120
Speaker 14: they have to be rushing together. Right, Someone's gonna get

724
00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:57,320
Speaker 14: the center, someone's gonna get the guard. But ultimately guys

725
00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:00,720
Speaker 14: have to be rushing together, all right, So the defensive

726
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:03,480
Speaker 14: tackles the quarterbacks standing right there, you know. So, so

727
00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:05,920
Speaker 14: we don't need to be running out or doing anything fancy.

728
00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:08,480
Speaker 14: I want guys that are going forward at all times.

729
00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:09,040
Speaker 3: I know.

730
00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:12,320
Speaker 19: Jim last week talked about you and your path and

731
00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:14,800
Speaker 19: coming here and mentioned like you were willing to go

732
00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:17,200
Speaker 19: earlier in your coaching career start from the bottom, Like

733
00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:19,160
Speaker 19: how much has that informed who you are?

734
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:21,240
Speaker 10: And just obviously your background as a player and everything.

735
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:23,680
Speaker 14: Yeah, I mean as a player, I was an undrafted

736
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:25,920
Speaker 14: free agent, right and I had to start at the bottom,

737
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:28,120
Speaker 14: and I had to learn the NFL game and learn

738
00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:30,080
Speaker 14: how to practice, and learn how to play in these

739
00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:33,560
Speaker 14: games and playing tight games and then playing champions playoff

740
00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:36,560
Speaker 14: games and championship games. All of that takes a level

741
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:40,280
Speaker 14: of experience, a level of training and straining and grit,

742
00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:42,720
Speaker 14: and so I just try and bring that same just

743
00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:45,920
Speaker 14: just that same style to my coaching. You know, I

744
00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:47,720
Speaker 14: don't want anything handed to be for free. I don't

745
00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:49,840
Speaker 14: want my guys to think that they needed anything handed free.

746
00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:52,080
Speaker 14: Everything we do is predicated on hard work.

747
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:52,760
Speaker 3: That's it.

748
00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:54,600
Speaker 14: I just want guys that are willing to work hard.

749
00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:57,040
Speaker 14: I don't need any sidebars or anything like that. I

750
00:29:57,200 --> 00:29:59,960
Speaker 14: just need guys that want to come in, listen and work.

751
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:02,760
Speaker 14: Car What was asking Deuce about?

752
00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:04,880
Speaker 8: You know, in the offense, Kevin's talked a lot about

753
00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:07,720
Speaker 8: collaboration and in development and development of the offense and

754
00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:11,240
Speaker 8: and and he talked about that, but you know, we

755
00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:13,920
Speaker 8: talked about this system and it's Jim Schwartz's system, this word,

756
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:17,280
Speaker 8: but I'm sure there's a lot more collaboration that goes

757
00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:20,600
Speaker 8: into it that you could you can find fingerprints of

758
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:25,000
Speaker 8: of yourself and and coach trbor and and whatnot. How

759
00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:27,960
Speaker 8: does that collaboration work on the defensive side? How was

760
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:30,760
Speaker 8: that especially when you have somebody there's it has sort

761
00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:34,320
Speaker 8: of established himself as a a as sort of a

762
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:35,600
Speaker 8: I his system.

763
00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:38,240
Speaker 14: Yeah, it it, It all starts with the guy up top, right,

764
00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:40,920
Speaker 14: Jim Schwartz. And and you know he he he he's

765
00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:44,560
Speaker 14: a great teacher first and foremost, great teacher, great leader

766
00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:47,520
Speaker 14: of men, alright, and he he wants to empower his coaches.

767
00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:50,240
Speaker 14: And that's the most important thing. There's no egos on

768
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:52,760
Speaker 14: that coaching staff. All those coaches are really all of

769
00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:55,160
Speaker 14: all the defensive coaches are really really good coaches, smart

770
00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:57,400
Speaker 14: coaches that bring a lot of juice, a lot of energy,

771
00:30:57,400 --> 00:30:59,560
Speaker 14: a lot of uh knowledge of the game. And so

772
00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:02,280
Speaker 14: all of us respect each other. We're all pushing each

773
00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:04,600
Speaker 14: other because ultimately we all want the same thing. We

774
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:06,920
Speaker 14: want to win. Okay, we want to win. We don't

775
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:08,920
Speaker 14: want to go home in January, Okay, we want to

776
00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:11,640
Speaker 14: continue playing. And so in order to do that, everybody

777
00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:13,640
Speaker 14: has to keep their ego at the door, all right,

778
00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:16,640
Speaker 14: and come together as one and everything has to be,

779
00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:19,000
Speaker 14: you know, geared toward the team.

780
00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:21,640
Speaker 2: How much you go, Okay, when.

781
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:23,160
Speaker 19: You look at the guys you have, I mean, obviously

782
00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:25,600
Speaker 19: miles of sack nuvers what they've been the last few years,

783
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:28,280
Speaker 19: do you feel like you're multiple guys that can push.

784
00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:29,600
Speaker 10: For ten plus sacks.

785
00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:33,360
Speaker 14: Absolutely, absolutely. You know, young Isaiah Maguire is one of

786
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:36,040
Speaker 14: those guys that he's been really coming on. Alex Wright

787
00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:38,440
Speaker 14: had a nice season last year with five sacks. I

788
00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:40,360
Speaker 14: think he can really push those numbers up to the

789
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:43,160
Speaker 14: double digits. You know, you're talking about youth that has

790
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:46,400
Speaker 14: a lot of length, power speed in their game. Okay,

791
00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:48,160
Speaker 14: they all know how to rush really well. They all

792
00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:49,880
Speaker 14: know how to flip their hips and use their hands.

793
00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:52,920
Speaker 14: So I'm excited about those two guys. You bring back Obo,

794
00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:56,240
Speaker 14: You got new guys like Quentin Jefferson. Moe looks great

795
00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:58,440
Speaker 14: out here right now. So I'm just excited with the

796
00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:01,160
Speaker 14: progress that the guys have been made. And I know,

797
00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:03,640
Speaker 14: you know, we're just starting off and we're just sitting

798
00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:05,280
Speaker 14: here and we're playing in underwear, you know.

799
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:06,520
Speaker 3: But but eventually we.

800
00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:08,560
Speaker 14: Got to plan pass and I think what we see

801
00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:11,680
Speaker 14: out here is gonna translate night into into nice into paths.

802
00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:13,960
Speaker 8: How much what you guys did to Newson, how much

803
00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:19,520
Speaker 8: is there carry over? Is there similarities or is there

804
00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:22,600
Speaker 8: DNA of what between the two systems.

805
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:25,840
Speaker 14: You know, the one from Absolutely yeah, so we we

806
00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:27,360
Speaker 14: we like to, you know, when we were in Houston,

807
00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:30,880
Speaker 14: we're like, you know, Schwortz's attack little brother, you know,

808
00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:34,360
Speaker 14: and so uh, you know, obviously it's Shorts the system,

809
00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:37,240
Speaker 14: and and everybody takes a part of of that and

810
00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:39,400
Speaker 14: they kind of add their own wrinkles to it. So

811
00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:42,280
Speaker 14: it's the same system, all right, But I'm just coming

812
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:43,600
Speaker 14: in out of my little wrinkles to it.

813
00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:44,400
Speaker 3: That's it, you know.

814
00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:47,760
Speaker 14: And Shorts, like I said, he empowers this coaches. He

815
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:50,720
Speaker 14: allows us to do our job. You know, he bounces

816
00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:53,960
Speaker 14: ideas off of us, but ultimately we're we're our job

817
00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:56,360
Speaker 14: is to make sure that we're executing exactly what the

818
00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:57,400
Speaker 14: defensive coordinator wants.

819
00:32:58,240 --> 00:32:59,880
Speaker 19: I know, we haven't seen Miles out here, you got,

820
00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:03,200
Speaker 19: but just like defensive player of the year coming off

821
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:04,400
Speaker 19: the numbers he's put up, like.

822
00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:05,240
Speaker 2: What more do you guys?

823
00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:08,480
Speaker 14: Vision for him a lot more, a lot more. And

824
00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:11,120
Speaker 14: Miles knows that. And Miles is the type of person

825
00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:13,520
Speaker 14: that you know, he wants to be great, you know,

826
00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:15,640
Speaker 14: he wants to be great. He's not, He's not, you know,

827
00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:17,840
Speaker 14: just resting on his laws and what he did last year.

828
00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:20,800
Speaker 14: He understands that he's working. We've been in contac contact

829
00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:22,720
Speaker 14: with each other. And I know that he's been working.

830
00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:24,880
Speaker 14: He's working hard. I know he wants to come back,

831
00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:27,280
Speaker 14: and obviously when you lose in the playoffs, you know,

832
00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:29,360
Speaker 14: you know, you don't feel great about it. And so

833
00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:31,960
Speaker 14: he has things that he needs to work on. Everybody's

834
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:34,160
Speaker 14: working on some things, so you're gonna see a drastic

835
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:35,800
Speaker 14: improvement from everybody this year.

836
00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:39,120
Speaker 1: Next up is running backs coach Duce Staley, who meets

837
00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:41,520
Speaker 1: with the media for the first time as a running

838
00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:44,120
Speaker 1: back coach for your Cleveland Browns. He talks about his

839
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:47,920
Speaker 1: coaching style and how he lives vicariously through his players.

840
00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:52,200
Speaker 7: So I noticed that Nick was out there watching. What's

841
00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:54,440
Speaker 7: it like to have Nick around just, you know, having

842
00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:57,320
Speaker 7: his presence being felt and sort of inspiring you guys.

843
00:33:57,480 --> 00:34:01,240
Speaker 9: Yes, awesome. Starts in the classroom because he is a leader.

844
00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:04,400
Speaker 3: Uh. I know, he's a man of uh little words.

845
00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:06,440
Speaker 9: But when he get in that classroom and he get

846
00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:08,120
Speaker 9: out on the field, he's having fun.

847
00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:09,120
Speaker 3: And that's what we want.

848
00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:13,760
Speaker 10: Is how have you describe your coachange the post?

849
00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:16,640
Speaker 3: Well, here's what coaching is to me.

850
00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:20,240
Speaker 9: Okay, here's one putting these guys in the best position

851
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:21,320
Speaker 9: possible to make plays.

852
00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:21,960
Speaker 3: That's number one.

853
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:22,520
Speaker 4: Two.

854
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:24,279
Speaker 9: Getting them to run through a brick wall with me

855
00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:26,520
Speaker 9: and not for me, cause i'm'a run through it first.

856
00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:29,320
Speaker 9: If they decide to come along, I got the right guy. Okay,

857
00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:30,560
Speaker 9: So that's it one and two.

858
00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:32,799
Speaker 2: Ok what do you think?

859
00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:33,080
Speaker 14: I mean?

860
00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:35,840
Speaker 2: Obviously we know what knicks to but the rest of

861
00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:37,640
Speaker 2: the group that you have been able to work with

862
00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:38,680
Speaker 2: and look at what do you see?

863
00:34:38,719 --> 00:34:38,959
Speaker 3: People?

864
00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:39,719
Speaker 11: Man?

865
00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:43,320
Speaker 9: I see a good group. Jerome Pierre of course, dfo

866
00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:45,960
Speaker 9: just getting here. Those guys are working their butts off

867
00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:48,160
Speaker 9: and they love being here. You know, during this time,

868
00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:51,600
Speaker 9: they could be anywhere at the beach vacation. Now they're

869
00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:53,880
Speaker 9: walking through those doors every day working and that's.

870
00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:54,800
Speaker 3: What we want we do.

871
00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:56,440
Speaker 19: You said, it seems like from getting a chance to

872
00:34:56,520 --> 00:34:58,600
Speaker 19: watch you out there with the guys, just picking up

873
00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:01,400
Speaker 19: on how detail oriented you seem as a head coach.

874
00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:02,640
Speaker 10: I guess er as a coach just house.

875
00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:03,160
Speaker 3: Oh thank you.

876
00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:03,960
Speaker 4: You know.

877
00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:10,560
Speaker 19: How how important is that for you, especially in the

878
00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:12,920
Speaker 19: spring at this time when when you have younger.

879
00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:13,799
Speaker 10: Guys too when you play.

880
00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:17,640
Speaker 9: Yeah, just being able to live vicarifully through my players

881
00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:20,319
Speaker 9: is number one. Cause I wish that I could still

882
00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:20,839
Speaker 9: play the game.

883
00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:21,839
Speaker 3: Uh.

884
00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:23,759
Speaker 9: When I did play, I loved every minute of it.

885
00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:26,560
Speaker 9: The blood to sweat, the tears, that's a part of

886
00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:29,440
Speaker 9: the dream and I loved it. So the closest I

887
00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:32,040
Speaker 9: can get between the lines is play through them. So

888
00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:35,480
Speaker 9: every ounce of energy, everything I got every day, they

889
00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:37,439
Speaker 9: gonna get it good, bad or ugly.

890
00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:43,680
Speaker 10: Uh pushing the board or something like that on the grass.

891
00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:48,080
Speaker 9: That yes, Well, let me just say this to you.

892
00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:50,120
Speaker 9: Any time we put the ball on the ground, we

893
00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:52,440
Speaker 9: gonna get on the ground. And that's called the slag.

894
00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:55,640
Speaker 9: It has a very unique name. And when you catch

895
00:35:55,719 --> 00:35:57,560
Speaker 9: up with him ask him what the name is, he

896
00:35:57,719 --> 00:35:59,000
Speaker 9: have to put you to the side to tell you.

897
00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:00,560
Speaker 14: Du s.

898
00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:03,120
Speaker 8: Kevin has talked about, you know, this new offense and

899
00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:05,600
Speaker 8: I obviously people are focused on ken A as as

900
00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:07,759
Speaker 8: the new coordinator brought in, but he's mentioned it as

901
00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:10,240
Speaker 8: a kind of a collaborative effort. Can you talk about

902
00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:14,120
Speaker 8: kind of how that that effort and that the collaboration has.

903
00:36:14,080 --> 00:36:16,600
Speaker 9: Worked out or yeah, it starts with Kevin, It starts

904
00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:19,800
Speaker 9: with Kevin. Uh, Kevin got all of us involved. You

905
00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:22,759
Speaker 9: know when you look around the league, Uh, over so

906
00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:25,640
Speaker 9: many years, you have the coordinator. You have the head coach,

907
00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:29,080
Speaker 9: and that's where it starts and stops. But Kevin is

908
00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:32,280
Speaker 9: given us all a part of that coordinator side.

909
00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:33,440
Speaker 3: You know, Ken is the guy.

910
00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:35,960
Speaker 9: Of course Ken is running his offense, but we're all

911
00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:38,960
Speaker 9: involved with the players, We're all involved in game planning.

912
00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:42,520
Speaker 9: So I salut Kevin with that this we kind of led.

913
00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:44,680
Speaker 6: To believe we're gonna see a lot of shotgun offense

914
00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:45,160
Speaker 6: this year.

915
00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:47,040
Speaker 4: How does that affect the running gun?

916
00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:49,880
Speaker 9: Well, man, it it's been around for a while now,

917
00:36:50,120 --> 00:36:52,400
Speaker 9: you know. Of course, back when I played, a lot

918
00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:54,640
Speaker 9: of things were under center and you couldn't do though

919
00:36:54,719 --> 00:36:57,839
Speaker 9: RPOs like you wanted to. When the RPOs came into

920
00:36:57,920 --> 00:37:00,160
Speaker 9: this game, then there was a lot of shotgun. So

921
00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:03,080
Speaker 9: you gotta be able to run your offense no matter

922
00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:05,960
Speaker 9: if it's trapped, no matter if it's zone, no matter

923
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:08,200
Speaker 9: what it is. You gotta be able to do everything

924
00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:10,000
Speaker 9: out of gun, just like you do most of it

925
00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:12,640
Speaker 9: from undercent. So shotgun has been a part of the

926
00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:13,480
Speaker 9: game for a long time.

927
00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:15,239
Speaker 3: We just gonna take it and do it and use

928
00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:15,800
Speaker 3: it ourselves.

929
00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:18,120
Speaker 2: So what what did you think of Nick Chubb?

930
00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:18,719
Speaker 3: From far away?

931
00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:21,600
Speaker 2: And then once you've got to be around him give

932
00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:22,560
Speaker 2: you a pressure change on.

933
00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:24,680
Speaker 9: Yeah, it's funny you say that, because I had a

934
00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:28,560
Speaker 9: chance to work out uh when he was coming out Georgia,

935
00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:31,240
Speaker 9: and I believe it was Nick and maybe Sony Michelle

936
00:37:31,440 --> 00:37:33,800
Speaker 9: or someone like that. Yeah, and going down there and

937
00:37:33,880 --> 00:37:35,920
Speaker 9: just seeing Nick go through the drills, I knew he

938
00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:39,160
Speaker 9: was special. It was hard to get words out of him,

939
00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:41,200
Speaker 9: of course, but when you did get a word out

940
00:37:41,239 --> 00:37:43,239
Speaker 9: of him, it was yes, sir, no, sir, and that

941
00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:45,759
Speaker 9: was it, you know. So just being able to work

942
00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:48,279
Speaker 9: with him then and being able to see him, uh,

943
00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:50,759
Speaker 9: just get in this lead and take this lead by storm,

944
00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:53,000
Speaker 9: being able to pose his will, you know, I I

945
00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:54,000
Speaker 9: expect nothing less.

946
00:37:54,560 --> 00:37:56,320
Speaker 16: Does he can hear you out there any cliently and

947
00:37:56,400 --> 00:37:57,120
Speaker 16: in wonder to.

948
00:37:57,160 --> 00:37:58,480
Speaker 3: Pay against each other so much?

949
00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:01,920
Speaker 16: Does it play into what competitiveness when you're getting this

950
00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:04,160
Speaker 16: kind of here forward to try.

951
00:38:04,040 --> 00:38:05,720
Speaker 15: To put that on the field against your real homs.

952
00:38:05,960 --> 00:38:08,840
Speaker 9: Yeah, you saying the competitive side of those guys once again.

953
00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:11,479
Speaker 9: I I live vicariously through 'em. And I talked about

954
00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:14,000
Speaker 9: not to be redundant, but I talked about the energy

955
00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:17,080
Speaker 9: as coaches when we got get out here between these lines,

956
00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:19,959
Speaker 9: we have to have energy that comes from every coach

957
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:22,439
Speaker 9: on the field. Sometimes they gonna go out there, they're

958
00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:24,680
Speaker 9: not gonna feel it. But we don't have that choice

959
00:38:24,680 --> 00:38:26,120
Speaker 9: as a coach. We gotta go out there and feel

960
00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:26,640
Speaker 9: it every day.

961
00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:30,800
Speaker 2: What do what do you expect when Mahem find the

962
00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:31,560
Speaker 2: can get out there?

963
00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:33,480
Speaker 3: What do you think he can add to that? Man?

964
00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:33,719
Speaker 11: Uh?

965
00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:35,560
Speaker 9: You go back and look at this body of work,

966
00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:38,440
Speaker 9: no matter if it was at the Coats or a Buffalo,

967
00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:40,879
Speaker 9: He's a guy that has a good body of work,

968
00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:43,480
Speaker 9: puts some good stuff on tape. He's a nightmare for

969
00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:46,200
Speaker 9: safeties and linebackers. I expect for him to get back

970
00:38:46,239 --> 00:38:48,279
Speaker 9: and do the same things he been doing. Can't wait

971
00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:50,480
Speaker 9: to get a match up on a backer. It's a mismatch,

972
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:52,839
Speaker 9: So we can't wait to get him out there once again,

973
00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:54,400
Speaker 9: get healthy and kind of show.

974
00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:55,319
Speaker 3: The world and what he can do again.

975
00:38:55,800 --> 00:38:58,080
Speaker 11: Is there a coach that you as a player were

976
00:38:58,120 --> 00:39:01,840
Speaker 11: around that you're trying to Uh, I don't wanna say copy,

977
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:04,319
Speaker 11: but just really had an impact on you that you're

978
00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:06,560
Speaker 11: drawn on from that experience as you now entered the

979
00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:07,360
Speaker 11: c the coaching for.

980
00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:10,800
Speaker 9: A I had, you know, I had the pleasure to

981
00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:13,960
Speaker 9: be around a lot of great coaches, from Rayroads to

982
00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:17,759
Speaker 9: Bill Cower to John Bruden. I mean the list goes on.

983
00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:19,440
Speaker 9: So I was able to learn a little bit of

984
00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:23,520
Speaker 9: everything from them and being able to take some of

985
00:39:23,560 --> 00:39:26,600
Speaker 9: that old school coaching into the new world helps me

986
00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:29,920
Speaker 9: and I I once again I when I look at

987
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:32,000
Speaker 9: those guys and how they affected me as a player,

988
00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:34,800
Speaker 9: I take a little bit from everybody and I inject

989
00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:36,600
Speaker 9: them with it in you.

990
00:39:37,040 --> 00:39:38,719
Speaker 10: You played in this league for a long time and

991
00:39:38,760 --> 00:39:39,520
Speaker 10: you're coaching now.

992
00:39:42,640 --> 00:39:44,640
Speaker 3: Oh really awesome, awesome path.

993
00:39:49,320 --> 00:39:51,440
Speaker 12: What does that mean from both the players and coaches

994
00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:54,360
Speaker 12: standpoint to know that that kind of stability within.

995
00:39:54,239 --> 00:39:56,640
Speaker 3: A franchise, I think it starts with the organization first.

996
00:39:57,360 --> 00:40:00,160
Speaker 9: It says what the organization thinks about the co coach

997
00:40:00,239 --> 00:40:02,920
Speaker 9: in the gym and what he's been doing. His body

998
00:40:02,960 --> 00:40:04,480
Speaker 9: of work. You can look at it has been awesome,

999
00:40:04,800 --> 00:40:07,959
Speaker 9: all right. So you start with organization, and you start

1000
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:12,320
Speaker 9: with the owner and how he sees it. Excuse me, sorry,

1001
00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:16,440
Speaker 9: But on top of that, just being able for guys

1002
00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:18,440
Speaker 9: that play the game, for guys that coach the game

1003
00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:23,160
Speaker 9: under coach, I don't know what's in something choking me up.

1004
00:40:26,480 --> 00:40:28,799
Speaker 3: She has some water. Where's my sister? She left? Sorry,

1005
00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:32,480
Speaker 3: it means a lot. It means a lot just to

1006
00:40:32,560 --> 00:40:36,080
Speaker 3: have that. And uh this security, guys, I gotta go

1007
00:40:36,200 --> 00:40:40,759
Speaker 3: something to my throat. Yeah, next time, no problem, take

1008
00:40:40,800 --> 00:40:41,000
Speaker 3: care of.

1009
00:40:42,640 --> 00:40:46,680
Speaker 1: After playing with the Steelers and Seahawks, linebacker Devin Bush

00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:49,439
Speaker 1: is entering his first year with the Browns. He talks

1021
00:41:15,719 --> 00:41:18,080
Speaker 22: You know, I have the opportunity to play, so I

1022
00:41:18,239 --> 00:41:19,680
Speaker 22: I mean, I just go out every day and just

1023
00:41:19,840 --> 00:41:21,480
Speaker 22: and just cherish that and just go out there and

1024
00:41:21,560 --> 00:41:22,960
Speaker 22: just go as hard as I could and just learn

1025
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:23,719
Speaker 22: as fast as I can.

1026
00:41:24,520 --> 00:41:28,000
Speaker 10: Whatever. Your first impression has been some of the other linebackers.

1027
00:41:27,480 --> 00:41:31,160
Speaker 22: On the uh uh nah uh man, we gotta we

1028
00:41:31,239 --> 00:41:33,200
Speaker 22: got a crazy room. I mean we still learn each

1029
00:41:33,239 --> 00:41:34,800
Speaker 22: other's still early, but you know, we don't have a

1030
00:41:34,840 --> 00:41:36,560
Speaker 22: lot of time spent together. But as of right now,

1031
00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:39,040
Speaker 22: we got a lot of carriers, and you know, we

1032
00:41:39,080 --> 00:41:41,360
Speaker 22: gotta we got a great room, good good mix of veterans,

1033
00:41:41,400 --> 00:41:43,279
Speaker 22: a good mix of young guys. So you know it's

1034
00:41:43,280 --> 00:41:44,640
Speaker 22: gonna be a lot of a lot of learning, a

1035
00:41:44,680 --> 00:41:45,719
Speaker 22: lot of teaching in that room.

1036
00:41:46,680 --> 00:41:48,600
Speaker 8: And what ways, you know, obviously, you know you have

1037
00:41:48,680 --> 00:41:51,040
Speaker 8: that rookie year and and you know the the numbers

1038
00:41:51,120 --> 00:41:53,080
Speaker 8: you know are looking good, you know, the and then

1039
00:41:53,120 --> 00:41:54,200
Speaker 8: knee injury have moved?

1040
00:41:54,600 --> 00:41:56,560
Speaker 3: How much has how much more?

1041
00:41:56,719 --> 00:41:59,799
Speaker 8: Is maybe that set you know, kind of set you back?

1042
00:41:59,840 --> 00:42:02,040
Speaker 3: And maybe initially.

1043
00:42:03,040 --> 00:42:04,160
Speaker 22: I think I think it was a it was a

1044
00:42:04,200 --> 00:42:06,759
Speaker 22: growth and development thing for me. I mean that that

1045
00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:08,360
Speaker 22: was just a route I guess my my career is

1046
00:42:08,400 --> 00:42:13,160
Speaker 22: supposed to take. I learned a lot about myself. I worked,

1047
00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:16,320
Speaker 22: I worked on myself a bunch, and uh, my monsets

1048
00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:18,560
Speaker 22: definitely shifted. I had had had an opportunity to have

1049
00:42:18,640 --> 00:42:21,319
Speaker 22: different perspective, you know, not not being able to play

1050
00:42:21,360 --> 00:42:24,840
Speaker 22: the game at one point. And I think it's just

1051
00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:28,200
Speaker 22: a work in progress honestly, like nothing's ever set in stone,

1052
00:42:28,600 --> 00:42:31,120
Speaker 22: you know, until the day I retired. So I mean

1053
00:42:31,440 --> 00:42:32,680
Speaker 22: I st I still I still got a lot, a

1054
00:42:32,719 --> 00:42:35,399
Speaker 22: lot of football left in me. So I'm still twenty five.

1055
00:42:35,560 --> 00:42:36,839
Speaker 22: So we'll see.

1056
00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:39,680

1058
00:42:42,400 --> 00:42:44,800
Speaker 19: played by injuries before this. Seeing what he did in

1059
00:42:44,840 --> 00:42:47,040
Speaker 19: this defense one of your old teammate, Yeah, does that

1060
00:42:47,120 --> 00:42:49,320
Speaker 19: give you some excitement or some confidence?

1073
00:43:20,640 --> 00:43:22,520
Speaker 8: We hear a lot about what it does for the secondary.

1074
00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:24,440
Speaker 8: M Well for you guys to buil and you know

Speaker 3: I mean we just running and cleaning stuff up.

1078
00:43:29,719 --> 00:43:31,400
Speaker 22: I mean it allows us to play fast, you know,

1079
00:43:31,520 --> 00:43:32,920
Speaker 22: cause I mean we Alas gonna keep a strong D

1080
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:36,120
Speaker 22: line in in his system. So we playing the go

1081
00:43:36,360 --> 00:43:38,360

1082
00:43:38,440 --> 00:43:40,520
Speaker 22: got a bunch of good dvs. So I mean it

1083
00:43:40,560 --> 00:43:42,600
Speaker 22: just gives us a chance to just just fly around

1084
00:43:42,640 --> 00:43:43,200
Speaker 22: and make plays.

1085
00:43:43,239 --> 00:43:47,640
Speaker 16: Honestly, with your app Jim Sorts describes the line as

1086
00:43:47,719 --> 00:43:49,200
Speaker 16: the front line as uh, the engine.
