127
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:18,400

128
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:21,400

129
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 3: It is the same.

130
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:24,600
Speaker 1: I've missed that one though in the locker room. That

131
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 1: was always one of my favorites. So how are you

132
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:29,920
Speaker 1: feeling right now? This is training camp number nine?

133
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 4: I think I was nine or ten, Yeah, one of

134
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:34,599
Speaker 4: the other ten whichever, Yeah, whatever it is. It's a lot.

135
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:37,279
Speaker 1: We're in there, all of them with Kyle. Yeah, training

136
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 1: camp nine, sorry is practice ten? Yes, it's my ninth

137
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 1: training camp with.

138
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 2: We don't keep with numbers of yeah, no today, No,

139
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 2: how are you how is George Kittle, the player, the man,

140
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 2: the husband, the future father, How are you feeling compared

141
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:55,280
Speaker 2: to George Kittle, the first year player who was just

142
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:57,599
Speaker 2: didn't know his buns from a hole in the wall.

143
00:04:57,760 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 4: I didn't know anything, No, I was just out there.

144
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 1: I would say, like the biggest difference for me is

145
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 1: that this is like this training camp. My anxiety level

146
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:07,840
Speaker 1: has been lower than it ever has going into a

147
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 1: training camp, like just like comfortable with the offense, comfortable

148
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 1: with the guys that I'm around, Like, yes, we don't

149
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 1: have really any health receivers out there right now, which

150
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 1: is always a stress. You know, it's great to have

151
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 1: Ricky's back for his like second day in a row,

152
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 1: which is fantastic, but like just going into like just

153
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:27,719
Speaker 1: not anxious every single day about football and like knowing

154
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 1: and having the confidence that you know, I've done it,

155
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 1: I know what I'm doing. I'm like not really thinking,

156
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:34,599
Speaker 1: you're just reacting to stuff like that part has been

157
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:36,159
Speaker 1: really fun for me because you're not just laying up

158
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 1: at night just like, oh no.

Speaker 2: don't understand the pressure and the anxiety of a day

164
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 2: to day Like there's no win in that because even

165
00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,039
Speaker 2: when you win there like you didn't win by enough.

166
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:01,240

Speaker 1: game expecting to lose, Like I'm expecting to win every

173
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 1: single game. It's just other teams also are expecting to win.

174
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 1: It's really hard for people to understand that.

175
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 4: Sometimes.

176
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:17,400

228
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 1: One of my favorite things that I learned really early

229
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 1: in my career was that there are hundreds of thousands

230
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 1: of kids who would love nothing more than to be

231
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 1: the starting tight end for the San Francisco forty nine ers,

232
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 1: and it is my job to ruin all of their dreams.

233
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 1: And that is so basically, fuck them kids. Excuse my language.

234
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:29,200
Speaker 1: Everybody Jordan said it best, yeah, but literally, Like, so

Speaker 1: Should have been so angry.

316
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:23,439
Speaker 3: I could see it. I kind of feel like she

317
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 3: made a call.

318
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:27,440
Speaker 4: I think she called multiple people. She called multiple people

319
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 4: on that one.

320
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 2: How how fun is it to know that the challenge

321
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:34,200
Speaker 2: of what you guys have coming up this season, but

322
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 2: to know a lot of positions you guys have elite players,

323
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:42,199
Speaker 2: not just good players at tidy end, at running back,

324
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:43,960
Speaker 2: one of the best players in national football League at

325
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 2: left tackle at d N and one of the best

326
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,280
Speaker 2: players in the National Football League at the quarnerback spot

327
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 2: at the quarterback spot. Does that give you a ton

328
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:51,720
Speaker 2: of conference?

329
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:55,280
Speaker 1: Yes, Like being on a team that I know that,

330
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:58,560
Speaker 1: like it's not just on two people that have to

331
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 1: win every single game and you can rely on other

332
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:04,200
Speaker 1: guys gives you more confidence. It's like, well, hey, I

333
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 1: have a clear on this, but I'm gonna run the

334
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:06,720
Speaker 1: best clear out of my life. So then when Christi

335
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:09,080
Speaker 1: McCaffrey catches a choice shout, I'll be downfield blocking for

336
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 1: him and it's gonna create space. And then hey, the

337
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:12,720
Speaker 1: next time that we run some type of play action,

338
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:15,200
Speaker 1: he's gonna sell his heart out on this play action

339
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:17,239
Speaker 1: run and I'm gonna be wide open run across.

340
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:17,600
Speaker 4: The middle of the field.

341
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 1: And when you can count on guys, it definitely gives

342
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:22,960
Speaker 1: you a lot of confidence. But it's like it's just

343
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:24,920
Speaker 1: so fun being around guys who have the desire to

344
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:27,600
Speaker 1: win so bad. And then that also being around guys

345
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:30,200
Speaker 1: who you've gone through shit with, Like that's like one

346
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:32,080
Speaker 1: of my favorite things is we've won a lot of

347
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:34,520
Speaker 1: games together, we've lost games together, and like it builds

348
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:38,360
Speaker 1: this I don't know, this unity, this like confidence in

349
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 1: this group, and it allows us to continue to plow

350
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:43,080
Speaker 1: forward and then for all like the young guys and

351
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 1: you guys to get on the team. It's like you

352
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:47,280
Speaker 1: can either hop on this and rise to our standard

353
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:49,320
Speaker 1: or you're gonna You're gonna fall off the boat and

354
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:51,720
Speaker 1: you'll be exposed really quickly. And so it's fun to

355
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:53,480
Speaker 1: be able to have guys that just have that desire

356
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:54,959
Speaker 1: all the time, that want to go out there and

357
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:58,320
Speaker 1: kick ass because it just brings everybody along with them.

358
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:00,439
Speaker 2: This is gonna be a hard question. This is a

359
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:05,840
Speaker 2: very hard hitting question. What is your favorite play of

360
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:06,320
Speaker 2: all time?

361
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:09,760
Speaker 1: Like that I've done personally or like my favorite my

362
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:10,600
Speaker 1: favorite played a run?

363
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 4: Oh no, I've done And.

364
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 2: Could it be that that like trap play in the

365
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:17,960
Speaker 2: NFC Championship play against Green Bay.

366
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 3: I don't know, it could be any play.

367
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:26,920
Speaker 1: Let's see one of my favorite, I mean, most Nighters

368
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:28,920
Speaker 1: fans love my fourth and two against New Orleans stints

369
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:31,079
Speaker 1: where run an out route where choice schrout broke out

370
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 1: and then carried guys. That was fun. I thoroughly enjoyed that.

371
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 1: That was one of my favorite games. I ever played

372
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:38,079
Speaker 1: because our offense was on fire and their offense was

373
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:40,320
Speaker 1: on fire. So those are just fun games. No, it

374
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:42,440
Speaker 1: was not you guys that are rough game, but like

375
00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 1: those are fun for us because Jimmy threw for like

376
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:45,719
Speaker 1: four hundred yards. I guess just always fun to see

377
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:49,160
Speaker 1: your quarterback throw for four hundred That's definitely up there.

378
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:54,839
Speaker 1: I would say, like there's been like when we played

379
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,000
Speaker 1: Green Bay in the NCY Championship game out there and

380
00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:59,679
Speaker 1: then like our outside zone was just so dominant. We

381
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:03,080
Speaker 1: ran the ball forty six times and like every single

382
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 1: play we just dog walk them up and down the field.

383
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:08,080
Speaker 1: I mean, like, as a defensive player, is there anything

384
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:10,320
Speaker 1: worse than just giving up like eight yards of carry? No,

385
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:12,200
Speaker 1: because there's nothing like you know that you're not gonna

386
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:13,360
Speaker 1: get a lot of action there is in the past.

387
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:16,200
Speaker 1: Game like billaying cornerback and the team throws the ball

388
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:17,839
Speaker 1: seven times against you has to be one of the

389
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 1: most disgusting things of all time, demoralizing and so like

390
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 1: my favorite plays are just games that we are running

391
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:25,440
Speaker 1: the hell out of the football, Like even the game

392
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:28,320
Speaker 1: before that, and we played the Minnesota Vikings and I

393
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:31,680
Speaker 1: just remember both their defensive ends, We're talking crap to

394
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:33,440
Speaker 1: all of our players, how about they're gonna, you know,

395
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:35,240
Speaker 1: be more physical than us and all this stuff. And

396
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 1: then we ran the ball forty eight times and through

397
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 1: the ball six times and Jimmy throw a block that game.

398
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 1: Jimmie threw a block. He had a pancake that game.

399
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:43,480
Speaker 1: I was just like, those are the games and the

400
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 1: plays that I remember the most. It's just like those

401
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 1: physical games where you come out there and you just

402
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 1: kind of tell them to go fuck themselves. Those are

403
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:49,840
Speaker 1: definitely my favorite games.

404
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:50,840

00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:07,919
Speaker 7: obviously continuing to work hard, being real with myself from

473
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:10,600
Speaker 7: what I saw last year and getting better, finding ways

474
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 7: to push myself. But also like, man, like this is

475
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 7: gonna go by so fast, your career is going to

476
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:17,480
Speaker 7: go buy so fast and everything, so we're just trying

477
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:19,800
Speaker 7: to soak up all the little things, the little moments

478
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:21,959
Speaker 7: and little victories and enjoying it.

479
00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:23,560
Speaker 3: So yeah, I'm happy to hear that. Man.

480
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:25,520
Speaker 2: I mean, you look as good as you ever have

481
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:27,760
Speaker 2: on that practice today. You guys look like you have

482
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:31,680
Speaker 2: an incredible QB room. It's different though you got Lombardi.

483
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:34,440
Speaker 2: Now you had Brian Greasy for the last couple of years.

484
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:35,560
Speaker 2: How has that changed been.

485
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:39,280
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean I think two different styles of coaches. Obviously,

486
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:42,639
Speaker 7: Brian Greasy played the position he played for eleven years

487
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:45,800
Speaker 7: his dad obviously Hall of Fame quarterback. So he's had

488
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:48,320
Speaker 7: this more of Hey, I played it, this is what

489
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:50,280
Speaker 7: I saw. I can relate to you by, you know,

490
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:54,000
Speaker 7: the situational football, and and I learned a lot from

491
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:56,880
Speaker 7: his perspective and things. And I think with Mick he's

492
00:18:56,880 --> 00:18:59,240
Speaker 7: been he's just really smart. You know x's and o's.

493
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:00,399
Speaker 5: He keeps it black and white.

494
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:03,440
Speaker 7: Been with Brady in New England and and his tree

495
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:06,119
Speaker 7: there obviously in Vegas and then now here, and so

496
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 7: to pick his brand on like what you know he

497
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:11,920
Speaker 7: did with Brady and all the guys there, and how

498
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:13,920
Speaker 7: he sees the game, man, I love, and he's he's

499
00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:16,440
Speaker 7: got so much energy and fire and he's the kind

500
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:18,320
Speaker 7: of coach man that is gonna push you, not hold

501
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 7: it back when it comes to where you need to

502
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:22,440
Speaker 7: be better, which I love. But then he also does

503
00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:24,720
Speaker 7: a great job of building us up as quarterbacks. And

504
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:28,480
Speaker 7: so overall it's been great. Obviously the season, we're gonna

505
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:29,880
Speaker 7: have a lot of fun and I'm excited to work

506
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:30,160
Speaker 7: with them.

507
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:31,960
Speaker 2: You got a lot of your weapons back this year.

508
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:35,600
Speaker 2: Thank god, you got Christian back. He looks very explosive.

509
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:37,639
Speaker 2: He looks good. Obviously they're they're holding him back and

510
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:40,280
Speaker 2: taking care of him. George looks as good as he's

511
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:43,679
Speaker 2: ever been. Trent looks amazing. How important is that, you know,

512
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:46,159
Speaker 2: just to start the season, you guys don't have you know,

513
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:49,680
Speaker 2: fingers crossed, knock on with the distractions of the holdouts

514
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:52,280
Speaker 2: and all that. You got your contract done and everybody's

515
00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 2: just rolling ready to go. The expectations there, the energy

516
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:57,119
Speaker 2: is there. How exciting is it?

517
00:19:57,400 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's been nice, you know, get our deals done

518
00:19:59,880 --> 00:20:02,600
Speaker 7: and whatnot. Yes, and now'll get back to work with

519
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:05,920
Speaker 7: all of us, really George, Fred, myself and so now

520
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:08,000
Speaker 7: for us, like we feel healthy, we feel good.

521
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:09,320
Speaker 5: Guys are all practicing.

522
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:13,040
Speaker 7: Christian looks great obviously not having him last year, and

523
00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:15,800
Speaker 7: what he can do within our offense. Man, like you know,

524
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:17,720
Speaker 7: it's as a quarterback, it's like, man would love to

525
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:20,040
Speaker 7: have this Hall of famer in the backfield with me.

526
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:21,639
Speaker 7: The way he runs the ball, the way we can

527
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:23,960
Speaker 7: split him out, throw them the ball, and then it

528
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 7: just opens up other guys too, man like George and

529
00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:29,040
Speaker 7: and JJ, Ricky Piersoll, like all those other guys can

530
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:31,399
Speaker 7: now come into their role and play really well. And

531
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:34,640
Speaker 7: it's crazy what one guy can do. So having him

532
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:37,080
Speaker 7: back in healthy is great. But I think overall we

533
00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:39,879
Speaker 7: have some new faces and a new really team that

534
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:41,720
Speaker 7: we're trying to find our identity right now during this

535
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:44,760
Speaker 7: period of time. But it's all guys that have chip

536
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:46,800
Speaker 7: on their shoulders and we got to go prove ourselves,

537
00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:48,240
Speaker 7: which is a good thing.

538
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:51,040
Speaker 2: Well, one guy that's not new, and that's Kyle Shanahan.

539
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:53,239
Speaker 2: He's the guy calling in the place. Talk about the

540
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 2: way you guys' relationship has evolved, because I don't know

541
00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:58,199
Speaker 2: if all the fans know, but there's a lot of

542
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:02,240
Speaker 2: input that quarterback and play caller. There's a lot of communication, good,

543
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:05,399
Speaker 2: bad or indifferent. But it seems like you guys have

544
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:08,960
Speaker 2: been locking step the entire step. Even through a very

545
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:11,600
Speaker 2: tumultuous season last year, a very up and down season,

546
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:13,960
Speaker 2: you guys seemed like you were a steady, steady force.

547
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:15,280
Speaker 5: Yeah.

548
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:17,560
Speaker 7: I think just over the years, man just continuing to

549
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:20,840
Speaker 7: learn from him how he sees the game, tying everything together,

550
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:23,439
Speaker 7: the run game, play, action pass to quick game, like

551
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 7: there's all these different intricate details that he knows and

552
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:30,560
Speaker 7: remembers from all these years of coaching, and so for

553
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:32,919
Speaker 7: him to pour into me and teach me these things,

554
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:36,399
Speaker 7: it's been awesome. And obviously I think I'm able to,

555
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:39,440
Speaker 7: you know, open up his his playbook and his system

556
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:41,240
Speaker 7: with how he calls plays, and he can trust me

557
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:44,080
Speaker 7: in certain moments. I'm still learning, he's still teaching me.

558
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:47,200
Speaker 7: But I think together, man, we've done nothing but trust

559
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:49,480
Speaker 7: each other and go through things. I mean, you go

560
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:52,640
Speaker 7: from my rookie year to NFC championship, the Super Bowl year,

561
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:54,840
Speaker 7: the next year, last year a tough year. Like, we've

562
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:56,720
Speaker 7: been through some stuff together, which you know, I think

563
00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:58,639
Speaker 7: can be a good thing with a play caller and

564
00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:01,200
Speaker 7: a quarterback, and it's been nothing but trust man.

565
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:02,880
Speaker 5: So obviously excited for this year with him.

566
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:05,560
Speaker 2: I'm excited too. It just seems like he has a

567
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:08,320
Speaker 2: lot of confidence in you, and it shows each and

568
00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 2: every day, each and every play, each and every play call.

569
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:14,399
Speaker 2: I see the way he pushes the ball down the

570
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:17,679
Speaker 2: field and take risks. Do you take that as a

571
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:21,200
Speaker 2: as a as badge of honor or? Our confidence builder?

572
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:22,879
Speaker 2: Is just the way he believes and he kind of

573
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:24,639
Speaker 2: just rolls the ball out there and let you go.

574
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:26,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, it's been nice.

575
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:27,040
Speaker 3: You know.

576
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:29,720
Speaker 7: Sometimes I feel like you can see like coordinators, you know,

577
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:33,160
Speaker 7: keeping things really simple for quarterbacks. But with him, it's

578
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:35,760
Speaker 7: been has been Hey, man, like, let's see if if

579
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:37,359
Speaker 7: you can handle it. And I feel like I've shown that,

580
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:40,360
Speaker 7: and then it's been all right, let's take these shots down, Fiel.

581
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:42,439
Speaker 7: Let's take an opportunity here. We trust you brock there,

582
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:44,120
Speaker 7: You're gonna make the right decision. If it's not there,

583
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:46,840
Speaker 7: let's check it down. So he's done a good job

584
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:49,679
Speaker 7: with that with me explaining it and and not you know,

585
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:52,000
Speaker 7: handcuffing me at all. But like, hey, this is how

586
00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:54,080
Speaker 7: I would call a game against this scheme and defense,

587
00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:55,800
Speaker 7: and I trust in you and I know that you

588
00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:56,919
Speaker 7: can make every throw out.

589
00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 5: There, and let's roll with it.

590
00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:02,440
Speaker 7: So that's where we're continuing to rise together and trust

591
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:03,840
Speaker 7: each other in certain situations.

592
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:05,040
Speaker 5: So it's been really good.

593
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:07,440
Speaker 3: Where do you see yourself in this league?

594
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:09,000
Speaker 2: You know, I think there's been a lot of list

595
00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:11,040
Speaker 2: in all this stuff that comes out about on the

596
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:13,760
Speaker 2: top four, top ten quarterbacks, et cetera, et cetera. I

597
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:15,440
Speaker 2: think you're one of the best quarterbacks in the national

598
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:18,720
Speaker 2: football leagues. I think your numbers and your efficiently efficiency

599
00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:22,000
Speaker 2: speaks for itself. But I'm sure you're a competitor like

600
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,560
Speaker 2: every other competitor. See the noise out there? How how

601
00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:26,800
Speaker 2: do you take that? Do you take it as disrespect?

602
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:28,119
Speaker 2: Do you take it as a badge of hunter? Do

603
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 2: you take it as motivation? I always wondered how you

604
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:31,159
Speaker 2: feel about it.

605
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 7: I mean, I've always felt, you know this, like you know,

606
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:37,960
Speaker 7: underdog kind of story, and that's been my story man,

607
00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:41,240
Speaker 7: from high school, college to the NFL. But for me,

608
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:43,399
Speaker 7: every single year, all that matters, man, is if you

609
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:45,639
Speaker 7: know I'm leading these guys in this locker room, in

610
00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:48,920
Speaker 7: this building and this organization, and and they trust me here,

611
00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:52,200
Speaker 7: that's all that matters. And you know, we've been able

612
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:55,400
Speaker 7: to go and show and prove that what we do here,

613
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:58,800
Speaker 7: what I do as a quarterback works and we've won games,

614
00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:01,720
Speaker 7: we've been to a super Bowl like it's worked. And

615
00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:03,679
Speaker 7: so as long as I just continue to focus on,

616
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:06,639
Speaker 7: you know, where God has me, and learning with Kyle

617
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:10,720
Speaker 7: and Lombardi all my teammates, and keep having their trust

618
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:12,760
Speaker 7: and gaining their trust, that's all it matters. And so

619
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:15,560
Speaker 7: everybody's gonna have something to say that's that's the nature

620
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:17,159
Speaker 7: of the sport, and that's fine.

621
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:20,000
Speaker 5: But I don't buy into and listen.

622
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:22,440
Speaker 7: If I were to listen to criticism and everything, I

623
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:23,600
Speaker 7: wouldn't be where I'm at today, you know.

624
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:25,680
Speaker 5: So I've had the chip on.

625
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:28,520
Speaker 7: My shoulder and I go prove myself right every single year,

626
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:30,400
Speaker 7: and so that's just where I'm at.

627
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:32,600
Speaker 2: When was the moment that you knew, like I could

628
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:34,000
Speaker 2: play in this league and I could play at a

629
00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:36,359
Speaker 2: high level in this league. I remember for me, it

630
00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:38,600
Speaker 2: was like one of our corners went down in the

631
00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 2: game and they kind of just threw me in there.

632
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:41,960
Speaker 2: I was like the fourth corner and they had to.

633
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:43,720
Speaker 2: We didn't have any other choice. And I went out

634
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:46,160
Speaker 2: there and I made a couple of tackles and I'm

635
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:48,800
Speaker 2: covering guys. I'm like, this is easier than practice, Like

636
00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:51,520
Speaker 2: I might be okay out here. I'm not overwhelmed. This

637
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:53,680
Speaker 2: isn't too fast, it's not too hot, I'm not tired.

638
00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:55,920
Speaker 2: I'm not overthinking it said I might be this is

639
00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:58,160
Speaker 2: easier than college for me. When was that moment for you?

640
00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:01,200
Speaker 5: I think, you know, practice and stuff.

641
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:02,960
Speaker 7: I was making throws my rookie year and I was

642
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:05,160
Speaker 7: trying to make the team, and I was like, all right,

643
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:07,120
Speaker 7: I think I can do it, but this is practice.

644
00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:10,040
Speaker 7: And so once we got into Week thirteen against the Dolphins,

645
00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:13,080
Speaker 7: Jimmy went down. My first third down pass was like

646
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:15,520
Speaker 7: a little five yard out to Christian on third down.

647
00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:18,160
Speaker 7: I completed it on the sideline, and in that moment,

648
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:19,800
Speaker 7: I was like, dude, this is football. I've been doing

649
00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:22,960
Speaker 7: this my whole life. And then during the game, I

650
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:24,919
Speaker 7: feel like it's a little bit more slower. Actually, everything

651
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:27,879
Speaker 7: seems open. You can see better. Practice sometimes it's so

652
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:29,840
Speaker 7: hectic or trying to get different looks and whatnot. But

653
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:33,479
Speaker 7: in the game, in that moment, on that drive, I

654
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:34,960
Speaker 7: was like, man, I've been doing this my whole life.

655
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:37,400
Speaker 7: We went down, we scored. There was a two minute

656
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:39,879
Speaker 7: drill right before half. We're just executing and I was

657
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:42,439
Speaker 7: just throwing and going through my reads and I was like,

658
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:44,200
Speaker 7: you know what, I could do this, and sure enough

659
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:46,040
Speaker 7: we went on a run that year, my rookie year.

660
00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:49,040
Speaker 7: But I think it was those two drives right there,

661
00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:50,719
Speaker 7: Week thirteen, twenty twenty two.

662
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:52,320
Speaker 3: Bro, it was cool.

663
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:54,240
Speaker 2: It was cool to see you when the moment's not

664
00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:55,760
Speaker 2: too big for you and you come out there and

665
00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:57,600
Speaker 2: just execute and just play the game. Some of the

666
00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:00,399
Speaker 2: layer throws though that you put out there, I'm like,

667
00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:03,160
Speaker 2: I don't cause I've never played quarterback. I've only played corner.

668
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:04,800
Speaker 2: So everybody's like, man, you got to know how I

669
00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:06,680
Speaker 2: feel that only people know how it feels to be

670
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:09,600
Speaker 2: an NFL quarterback or NFL quarterback. So just because we're

671
00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:11,160
Speaker 2: out there with him doesn't mean we see the game

672
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:15,480
Speaker 2: to say how hard is it to especially some of

673
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:18,000
Speaker 2: those throws to Juwan last year, it looks like you're

674
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:20,520
Speaker 2: getting it over the fingertips of a guy dropping it down.

675
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:26,240
Speaker 2: Explained it to me. I'm watching it, and I'm like,

676
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:28,280
Speaker 2: I've played football a long time and I'm still not

677
00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:30,640
Speaker 2: knowing how he's getting there. I can't see him from

678
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:32,760
Speaker 2: the angle they're showing the catch. I can't see you

679
00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:34,800
Speaker 2: throwing it. Yeah, I just see the ball pop out

680
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:38,200
Speaker 2: and drop down, and I'm like, bro, I one day

681
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:39,760
Speaker 2: I want to ask him how it is to make

682
00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:41,720
Speaker 2: those throws and he please.

683
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:45,719
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think, man, it's just years of playing throwing

684
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:50,400
Speaker 7: certain routes, understanding coverages and stuff, and then like JJBA

685
00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:53,159
Speaker 7: Christian George, like just getting reps on reps and I

686
00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:55,720
Speaker 7: know where they're going to be, and yeah, dude, there's

687
00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:58,080
Speaker 7: I've said this before, there's times where you can't see,

688
00:26:58,080 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 7: there's guys up in your face, and.

689
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:01,800
Speaker 5: But you know that it's there. You know that this

690
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:02,600
Speaker 5: is the right look.

691
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:05,760
Speaker 7: And regardless of a defensive line getting pushed up or

692
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:08,400
Speaker 7: a linebacker getting his hand up, I know that if

693
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:11,200
Speaker 7: I just get this over this tall human being who's

694
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:13,639
Speaker 7: going to jump really high at the right time on

695
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:16,560
Speaker 7: this first hitch, then JJ's gonna be right behind him and.

696
00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:17,560
Speaker 5: Just drop it right in there.

697
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:20,280
Speaker 7: So it's just reps and understanding what I'm looking at,

698
00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:25,080
Speaker 7: being prepared for certain coverages and things. But yeah, it's

699
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:27,200
Speaker 7: just the feel of the game man, playing all my life.

700
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:28,720
Speaker 7: I've been playing it, you know, so it's sort of

701
00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:29,280
Speaker 7: hard to explain.

702
00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:31,800
Speaker 2: But no, no, you explained it really well. What's your

703
00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:33,960
Speaker 2: motivation at this point? You got you got the big,

704
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:36,960
Speaker 2: big money, You've been to Super Bowls, you've got a

705
00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:40,879
Speaker 2: great teams, What's what's propelling you. For me, it was

706
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:44,640
Speaker 2: always that underdog role. It was always that that lack

707
00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:47,840
Speaker 2: of respect. You know, even when I had great stats,

708
00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:49,760
Speaker 2: I had the numbers, we had Super Bowls. We had

709
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:52,520
Speaker 2: great defense, We're number one, top one hundred. I'm like

710
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:55,080
Speaker 2: seven or eight, and you know, it's like, but I

711
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:56,880
Speaker 2: still don't feel it. You know, I still don't feel

712
00:27:56,880 --> 00:27:59,840
Speaker 2: like I'm respecting. I feel like the disrespect was always

713
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:03,000
Speaker 2: greater than than appreciation I got, and it always fueled me.

714
00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:05,000
Speaker 2: So I always felt like my gas tank was full

715
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:06,240
Speaker 2: and I go out there and I'm like, I got

716
00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:08,240
Speaker 2: to prove them wrong. And it's like, well, you're you're

717
00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:10,080
Speaker 2: your number one corner in the league. It's not really

718
00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:12,480
Speaker 2: people to prove on. But somehow, on this psychotic mind,

719
00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:13,640
Speaker 2: I always felt like I had something.

720
00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:17,159
Speaker 7: Yeah, you have to whether it's true or not, Like

721
00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:20,960
Speaker 7: you have to tell yourself like, dude, I was drafted last.

722
00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:22,840
Speaker 5: I was my misryrrelevant like that whole thing.

723
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:25,639
Speaker 7: But that fire that I came into my rookie year

724
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:27,600
Speaker 7: with that chip on my shoulder, trying to show those

725
00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:31,120
Speaker 7: guys on the field, my teammates, the defense, like hey,

726
00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:34,919
Speaker 7: like I'm made for this, and just reminding.

727
00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:36,480
Speaker 5: You of yourself of that and every single year. And

728
00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:38,239
Speaker 5: for me, I'm a faithful man.

729
00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:40,080
Speaker 7: I believe that God created me to be a competitor,

730
00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:42,280
Speaker 7: to be a leader, and just because we got to

731
00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:44,280
Speaker 7: the Super Bowl, I got a contract, that doesn't mean

732
00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:46,440
Speaker 7: like any like for me. It's the next season, man,

733
00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:49,160
Speaker 7: It's it's how can I go lead these boys today

734
00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:52,600
Speaker 7: for this practice, for this game coming up this season?

735
00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:56,320
Speaker 7: Like there's this drive of you know, I still got

736
00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:59,600
Speaker 7: to go show and use my talents that God's blessed

737
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:03,240
Speaker 7: me with to go show him my teammates that I'm

738
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:05,760
Speaker 7: this competitor that you can rely on. And so it's

739
00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:08,840
Speaker 7: pushing myself every single day. It's not being content, it's

740
00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:13,040
Speaker 7: being comfortable with being uncomfortable, Like it's always this uneasy

741
00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:15,719
Speaker 7: feeling that I can get better. So to run at

742
00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:17,080
Speaker 7: daily and still push myself.

743
00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:19,239
Speaker 2: You're doing a great job, and you're inspiring a lot

744
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:23,120
Speaker 2: of kids who are in similar situations where they're underdogs

745
00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:25,760
Speaker 2: and the world's against them and the world doesn't think

746
00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:28,000
Speaker 2: they're they're the tallest or the fast of this are

747
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:31,480
Speaker 2: they're supposed the prototype for this and they know that

748
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:34,000
Speaker 2: they can't. They know that it's possible, and it's possible

749
00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:35,800
Speaker 2: to play at the highest level and to execute the

750
00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:36,280
Speaker 2: way you have.

751
00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:39,400
Speaker 3: It's really remarkable. Do you have a favorite play of

752
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:39,960
Speaker 3: your career?

753
00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:48,040
Speaker 7: So far favorite play in my career. I honestly there

754
00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:53,160
Speaker 7: was one. I think it was the not NFC Championship game.

755
00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:55,360
Speaker 7: In the game before against the Packers, it was like

756
00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:57,600
Speaker 7: a we didn't play the best on offense, but we

757
00:29:57,680 --> 00:30:00,280
Speaker 7: needed this drive at the end of the game to

758
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:04,080
Speaker 7: go up. And it was a third down play and

759
00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:06,200
Speaker 7: it was Brandon i Ayuk over the middle. We call

760
00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:08,960
Speaker 7: it Gucci and it was a six steps slant, a

761
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:12,800
Speaker 7: crossing the Nichol's face. It was Manda Man and it

762
00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:15,320
Speaker 7: was in time. I threw on plant ba turn at

763
00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:17,800
Speaker 7: the right time. It was tight coverage, the dB reach across.

764
00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:20,360
Speaker 7: We got the ball there. It was a diving catch.

765
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:23,040
Speaker 7: I was like, bro boom, we get the first down.

766
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:24,560
Speaker 7: I was like, all right, we're saying on the field.

767
00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:26,440
Speaker 7: And then from there we won the game. We won

768
00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:28,440
Speaker 7: the NFC Championship game. After that we got to the

769
00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:31,040
Speaker 7: super Bowl. But it's like that play. If that play

770
00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:33,600
Speaker 7: didn't happen, man, none of this, none of that, the

771
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:36,680
Speaker 7: NFC Championship comeback game, getting the Super Bowl, that wouldn't

772
00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:37,080
Speaker 7: have happened.

773
00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:40,280
Speaker 5: And those are the things I remember, like, I love

774
00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:42,560
Speaker 5: that stuff. I lived through it. And so that was

775
00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:43,600
Speaker 5: probably one of my favorite plays.

776
00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:45,280
Speaker 3: Oh that was a great play. I remember that drive.

777
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:48,080
Speaker 3: I remember. I also remember the defense making a play

778
00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:48,640
Speaker 3: the next drive.

779
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:48,880
Speaker 7: It was.

780
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:51,560
Speaker 2: I love this game, and it's a game of benches

781
00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:54,280
Speaker 2: and you forget sometimes you forget those moments, get lost

782
00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:57,080
Speaker 2: in it, and people just remember the results. They're like, oh, yeah,

783
00:30:57,080 --> 00:30:58,720
Speaker 2: they beat them, and they went here and they went here.

784
00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:01,320
Speaker 2: But without those plays be a different place. I really

794
00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:31,480
Speaker 2: one of the best players on this San Francisco forty

795
00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:32,160

798
00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:40,400
Speaker 8: to be playing football, able to do something I love,

799
00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:42,240
Speaker 8: you know, for many years to come.

800
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:45,240
Speaker 2: So speaking of many years to come. You've been putting

801
00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:48,160
Speaker 2: on good tape for a number of years. Obviously, like

802
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:51,600
Speaker 2: I told you before, you you played the best during

803
00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:53,760
Speaker 2: the biggest games in the playoffs, getting those interceptions.

804
00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:55,480
Speaker 3: Talk about your mindset coming into this year.

805
00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:58,600
Speaker 8: It's just really just being a lockdown corner you know.

806
00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:02,480
Speaker 8: I feel like I didn't turn to transition to this

807
00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:05,040
Speaker 8: role to play, you know, to be this cornerback one.

808
00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:07,520
Speaker 8: So you know what was needed for a cornerback one

809
00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:09,920
Speaker 8: is usually to shut down the best receiver. And I

810
00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:11,920
Speaker 8: feel like I've just been ready for that challenge, you know,

811
00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:15,600
Speaker 8: since I made my name for myself in this league.

812
00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:18,880
Speaker 2: Talk about the conversations you've had with Sala since he's

813
00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:20,960
Speaker 2: been here. You know, you haven't got to play with him.

814
00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:22,720
Speaker 2: Obviously I played with him before you got here, and

815
00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:25,479
Speaker 2: then you've heard about him from other guys. But how

816
00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:26,720
Speaker 2: have those conversations been.

817
00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:31,280
Speaker 8: It's been all it's been all positive really just being

818
00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:33,080
Speaker 8: the CB one. You know, he kind of wanted to

819
00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:36,320
Speaker 8: pick my brain and you know, figure out how I operate,

820
00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:40,120
Speaker 8: and just talking to him, he's seen like the confidence

821
00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:42,200
Speaker 8: in me. That's why he came out like with the story,

822
00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:44,640
Speaker 8: you know, when he was talking to the media last week.

823
00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:47,600
Speaker 8: I was just telling him, you know that I'm ready

824
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:49,760
Speaker 8: for any challenge, you know, if it got to be

825
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:52,320
Speaker 8: ninety nine players and man or if it got to

826
00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:54,840
Speaker 8: be ninety nine in his own I'm ready for the challenge,

827
00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:57,440
Speaker 8: and I'm willing to back up anything that I put

828
00:32:57,440 --> 00:32:57,760
Speaker 8: out there.

829
00:32:58,320 --> 00:32:59,480
Speaker 3: I love that. I love that.

00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:02,200
Speaker 2: It's it's such a different Has it changed for you?

Speaker 2: You know, coming in you've been scrappy fighting for I

832
00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:07,480

835
00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:16,280
Speaker 2: and it doesn't seem like it's changed your hunger at all.

836
00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:19,960
Speaker 8: Oh yeah, for sure. I feel like the money didn't

837
00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:22,080
Speaker 8: change me. You know, the love of the game. You know,

838
00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:23,760
Speaker 8: I always have the love of the game. I always

839
00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:27,000

00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:30,840
Speaker 8: peer just want to you know, some people like they

841
00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:32,840
Speaker 8: just wake up and just you know, they say it,

842
00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:35,680
Speaker 8: they say it, but you know, actually speak louder than words.

843
00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:37,960
Speaker 8: So I'm I'm more one of them guys. You know

844
00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:40,120

00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:57,040
Speaker 2: who else is gone? I mean it's v Travarius. I mean,

851
00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:06,080

00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:08,200
Speaker 9: Oh yeah, yeah for sure.

854
00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:11,360
Speaker 8: I feel like, you know, always getting to get in

855
00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:13,320
Speaker 8: the room better and you know, and spreading the knowledge

856
00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:15,319
Speaker 8: because you know, I was once one of them guys

857
00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:17,480
Speaker 8: coming in that was trying to learn the game, trying

858
00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:19,759
Speaker 8: to figure it out. You know, stuff was getting too hard.

859
00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:21,600
Speaker 8: I feel like the coaches was on me, so I

860
00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:23,759
Speaker 8: kind of have to let everything slow down. So I

861
00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:25,480
Speaker 8: just kind of be like, you know, the shoulder that

862
00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:27,759
Speaker 8: they can lean on, you know, and telling them, you know,

863
00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:29,680
Speaker 8: is never too big and you know, you just got

864
00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:31,719
Speaker 8: to let the game slow down for you and really

865
00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:33,160
Speaker 8: just lock in and just pay attention.

866
00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:35,759
Speaker 3: Do you feel like dB and the other coaches have

867
00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:37,840
Speaker 3: kind of leaned on you to be that voice in

868
00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:38,160
Speaker 3: the room.

869
00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:40,960
Speaker 8: Oh yeah, for sure, you know, because I mean, all

870
00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:44,160
Speaker 8: our examples, like you said, has left. So I'm kind

871
00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:46,160
Speaker 8: of like the last example. So like you know, I

872
00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:48,359
Speaker 8: got to show that leadership, you know, to show them

873
00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:50,480
Speaker 8: how we you know, how we set the standard here.

874
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:51,200
Speaker 3: Yeah.

875
00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:53,440
Speaker 2: Sometimes sometimes that role, you know, as a old guy

876
00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:56,440
Speaker 2: who used to play a long time ago. Yeah, it

877
00:34:56,520 --> 00:34:58,279
Speaker 2: takes a lot of time, you know, it takes and

878
00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:01,080
Speaker 2: sometimes you got to sacrifice. Some times you're here later

879
00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:02,799
Speaker 2: than you want to be. Sometimes you on that field

880
00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:05,040
Speaker 2: later than you want to be. Sometimes you sitting there

881
00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:07,520
Speaker 2: in the dude in the dude's locker, or next to

882
00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:10,640
Speaker 2: a dude's locker giving him motivation, you know, because they

883
00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:11,480
Speaker 2: had a rough day.

884
00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:13,279
Speaker 3: Do you embrace that?

885
00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:14,440
Speaker 9: Oh yeah, I love it.

886
00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:14,880
Speaker 1: You know.

887
00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:17,279
Speaker 9: It just takes me back to when I was a

888
00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:17,759
Speaker 9: young guy.

889
00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:20,399
Speaker 8: You know, I always needed that guy like I had

890
00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:24,160
Speaker 8: Jason Verred, Kwan Williams and Jimmy Ward, you know, those

891
00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:26,640
Speaker 8: guys to lean over and manyo, Mosley, I had guys

892
00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:28,400
Speaker 8: like that, you know that I can lean on and

893
00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:30,760
Speaker 8: talk to, you know, whenever stuff got hard or stuff

894
00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:32,880
Speaker 8: was too complicated, or I'll just reach out to you,

895
00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:35,440

Speaker 2: So what's the expectations? What are your goals this season

898
00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:41,760
Speaker 2: and what's the expectations for this defense?

899
00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:44,440
Speaker 8: For one is to win the Super Bowl because I

900
00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:46,680
Speaker 8: feel like, you know, we got there too many times,

901
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:50,360
Speaker 8: but just being NFC and you know, going to the

902
00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:53,719
Speaker 8: Super Bowl, I feel like we always just getting there.

903
00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:55,719
Speaker 8: You know, I'm done trying to talk about it. I'm

904
00:35:55,719 --> 00:35:57,719
Speaker 8: trying to I'm trying to win, like you know, I

905
00:35:57,800 --> 00:36:01,120
Speaker 8: feel like that's the goal a team going. But my

906
00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:04,600
Speaker 8: personal goal, of course be all pro you know, Pro

907

00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:17,520
Speaker 2: on five years. What's what's your favorite play?

912
00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:19,000
Speaker 9: Favorite play?

913
00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:23,560
Speaker 8: I would say the interception versus Cowboys in the playoffs

914
00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:26,120
Speaker 8: because I felt like that was like my coming, like

915
00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:28,839
Speaker 8: I made a name for myself that that that game.

916
00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:31,040
Speaker 8: You know, I feel like a lot of people was

917
00:36:31,080 --> 00:36:33,120
Speaker 8: counting me out. You know, they was talking about me

918
00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:36,839
Speaker 8: having a decent season, like it wasn't really like uh,

919
00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:39,840
Speaker 8: I would say a strap corner. I would say I

920
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:42,000
Speaker 8: was just like kind of getting my feet away with everything,

921
00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:45,120
Speaker 8: trying to learn the game, you know, trying to just

922
00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:48,000
Speaker 8: make plays that I need to that I needed to make.

923
00:36:48,480 --> 00:36:50,279
Speaker 8: And then I feel like that moment was like my

924
00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:51,320
Speaker 8: breakout moment.

925
00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:52,040
Speaker 3: No question about it.

926
00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:54,640
Speaker 2: I mean, it was definitely a big game, a big play,

927
00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:56,879
Speaker 2: and it never seemed like the moment was too big

928
00:36:56,960 --> 00:36:59,360
Speaker 2: for you. It never seemed like the playoffs were different. Honestly,

929
00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:02,320
Speaker 2: it seemed like you had more books in the playoffs.

930
00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:04,799
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was more.

931
00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:06,840
Speaker 8: It was more like I gotta get everybody off my

932
00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:08,600
Speaker 8: back because I feel like a lot of people was

933
00:37:08,640 --> 00:37:11,080
Speaker 8: coming at me because like the game before I had,

934
00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:15,160
Speaker 8: I gave up a touchdown to AJ Green and it

935
00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:16,600
Speaker 8: was like his retirement moment.

936
00:37:16,719 --> 00:37:19,279
Speaker 9: It was like a crazy touchdown, ain't gonna lie. I

937
00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:21,839
Speaker 9: was like, I mean, I hit you up after that one.

938
00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:23,280
Speaker 9: It was it was crazy.

939
00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:25,880
Speaker 8: So I was like, I wasn't. I really wouldn't feeling that.

940
00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:27,800
Speaker 8: And then the fans was coming at me, you know,

941
00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:30,359
Speaker 8: they kept coming at me. So I was just like, man,

942
00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:32,360
Speaker 8: I'm about to just go, and like all a tweets,

943
00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:34,279
Speaker 8: I started liking all the tweets, and then I came

944
00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:36,840
Speaker 8: back Seattle game, I had to pick, and then I

945
00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:38,359
Speaker 8: was like, nah, I still got more of the tank.

946
00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:40,200
Speaker 8: We got two more, we got two more weeks. I

947
00:37:40,239 --> 00:37:43,799
Speaker 8: know we're finna go to the ball. And then came

948
00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:46,759
Speaker 8: Dallas game, and uh, like like you said, like we

949
00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:49,080
Speaker 8: were talking about it earlier. You know, when you watch guys,

950
00:37:49,160 --> 00:37:51,840
Speaker 8: you pick up certain tendencies and I've seen seen the

951
00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:53,400
Speaker 8: tendency and I just took it and run with it.

952
00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:56,000
Speaker 2: You did that, and you continue to do that and

953
00:37:56,080 --> 00:37:59,720
Speaker 2: continue to elevate. Has your mindset changed as you've gotten

954
00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:02,239
Speaker 2: more veteran in this league? Like has it from that

955
00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:04,520
Speaker 2: play when you got to pick against Dak Prescott and

956
00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:06,560
Speaker 2: the Dallas Cowboys to now?

957
00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:07,359
Speaker 3: Yeah?

958
00:38:07,719 --> 00:38:10,400
Speaker 8: I would say, wait, I'll watch way more film like

959
00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:13,360
Speaker 8: after that play because I was like, I never was

960
00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:16,279
Speaker 8: a film guy. So like once it happened, I was like, oh,

961
00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:18,880
Speaker 8: this works, like I could start I should start doing this.

962
00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:21,920
Speaker 8: So then I started picking up on more tendencies and

963
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:25,920
Speaker 8: tendencies and then and then I just created this the Hyena.

964
00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:29,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, and Hyena is making a name for itself. You

965
00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:31,400
Speaker 2: still don't feel like you get the respect you deserved?

966
00:38:31,560 --> 00:38:33,640
Speaker 9: Oh yeah, No, I still I still feel like I

967
00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:35,480
Speaker 9: don't get that respect.

968
00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:37,919
Speaker 8: You know of a person that's been in the league

969
00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:40,279
Speaker 8: five years who only gave up three touchdowns. You know,

970
00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:43,640
Speaker 8: Like I could talk about all the yeah, you know,

971
00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:46,560
Speaker 8: all the statistics, but like you know, I just feel

972
00:38:46,640 --> 00:38:51,000
Speaker 8: like when when the work is proven, like everything, it'll

973
00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:52,080
Speaker 8: be a setting stone.

974
00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:54,560
Speaker 2: To take care of himself. No question, it's gonna take

975
00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:56,000
Speaker 2: care of himself this year. And you know, I think

976
00:38:56,120 --> 00:38:59,040
Speaker 2: Pro Bowl, All pros always a goal for everybody. And

977
00:38:59,160 --> 00:39:01,359
Speaker 2: if you continue to put tape, you know, this year,

978
00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:03,879
Speaker 2: it's harder. It's harder for anybody to ignore you. Yeah,

979
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:06,480
Speaker 2: you're in this secondary. You're the guy. You're the guy

980
00:39:06,520 --> 00:39:08,480
Speaker 2: with the if it's a video game, you got the star.

981
00:39:08,719 --> 00:39:11,840
Speaker 2: Yeah under you, you're right down on his defense. And

982
00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:13,960
Speaker 2: I think you embraced that challenge.

983
00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:15,840
Speaker 9: Yeah, I'm ready for it.

984
00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:19,000
Speaker 2: What's your favorite playing training camp? Of all your training

985
00:39:19,040 --> 00:39:21,239
Speaker 2: camps that you've had so far in the National Football League,

986
00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:22,120
Speaker 2: what was your favorite play?

987
00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:24,880
Speaker 8: Really the play it was like my welcome to the

988
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:29,200
Speaker 8: NFL play, Like I would say when George Kittle, Yeah

989
00:39:29,239 --> 00:39:32,080
Speaker 8: he scored a touchdown on me in the stadium right here,

990
00:39:32,560 --> 00:39:34,920
Speaker 8: because it was like it's my favorite play because it

991
00:39:35,080 --> 00:39:37,200
Speaker 8: kind of shaped me to like, all right, you got

992
00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:39,960
Speaker 8: to get better, like like that can't happening, because it was.

993
00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:42,880
Speaker 8: It was an embarrassing moment to me, and like all

994
00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:45,520
Speaker 8: the fans was there, and then he kind of like snapped,

995
00:39:45,520 --> 00:39:47,480
Speaker 8: he jumped off me and then snatched the ball all

996
00:39:47,520 --> 00:39:49,680
Speaker 8: off my head, threw me on the ground.

997
00:39:49,719 --> 00:39:53,160
Speaker 9: And I was like, I was sick, but I wasn't mad,

998
00:39:53,320 --> 00:39:55,680
Speaker 9: but I was just like, I can't let that happen. No,

999
00:39:56,040 --> 00:39:57,839
Speaker 9: Like I don't care who it is, like, and that's

1000
00:39:57,840 --> 00:39:59,399
Speaker 9: when I knew I belonged. I was like, oh yeah,

1001
00:39:59,400 --> 00:40:01,279
Speaker 9: I belong no question about it.

1002
00:40:01,640 --> 00:40:03,879
Speaker 2: Anything else you want to ask me or anything else

1003
00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:05,680
Speaker 2: you want to get off your chest while we're here.

1004
00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:10,200
Speaker 9: I'm gonna be the best owner in the league this year.

1005
00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:10,840
Speaker 3: I love it.

1006
00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:12,960
Speaker 2: You heard it here first on a Richard Sherman podcast,

1007
00:40:13,040 --> 00:40:15,319
Speaker 2: The Best Owner of the League Diamador Leonor And I'm

1008
00:40:15,320 --> 00:40:16,680
Speaker 2: gonna hold you to it, baby, and we're gonna have

1009
00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:24,080
Speaker 2: you back on. Oh yeah, it's been it's been a

1010
00:40:24,120 --> 00:40:26,279
Speaker 2: crazy offseason. Like I don't, I don't, I don't know

1011
00:40:26,360 --> 00:40:27,839
Speaker 2: a ton of not a ton of guys that were

1012
00:40:27,880 --> 00:40:31,680
Speaker 2: here when I was here, obviously the foundational guys Nick

1013
00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:38,920
Speaker 2: and Trent and and George Christian's here Brock, But how

1014
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:41,879
Speaker 2: has that been just this offseason? So much turnover, both

1015
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:44,239
Speaker 2: both with the players and the staff. I mean, you

1016
00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:47,440
Speaker 2: lose Brian Greasy, the QB coach, you get solid back,

1017
00:40:47,560 --> 00:40:48,320
Speaker 2: you get cussed.

1018
00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:49,759
Speaker 3: How has that been for you?

1019
00:40:50,120 --> 00:40:53,120
Speaker 10: It's been different, like it's it's been real different.

1020
00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:54,919
Speaker 11: And you knew it was coming. I'm known for a while.

1021
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:57,399
Speaker 11: I mean, you can't, you can't spend that money year

1022
00:40:57,400 --> 00:40:59,799
Speaker 11: in and year out. And eventually got to take one off.

1023
00:41:01,480 --> 00:41:03,919
Speaker 11: You know, I was still living in hope a free

1024
00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:06,080
Speaker 11: agency that it wouldn't be as bad as I thought

1025
00:41:06,160 --> 00:41:07,000
Speaker 11: it was going to be.

1026
00:41:07,360 --> 00:41:09,480
Speaker 10: And then it was as bad as I thought it

1027
00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:10,719
Speaker 10: was going to be. And that took a little time

1028
00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:11,160
Speaker 10: to get over.

1029
00:41:11,640 --> 00:41:13,719
Speaker 11: Really didn't get over until the draft because I just

1030
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:16,520
Speaker 11: saw blank spots on the board for a while, and

1031
00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:18,960
Speaker 11: then the draft filled up a lot of those. Doesn't

1032
00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:21,200
Speaker 11: solve all the problems, but then you at least get

1033
00:41:21,239 --> 00:41:22,839
Speaker 11: excited because now you can see guys that you want

1034
00:41:22,880 --> 00:41:25,640
Speaker 11: to work with. And it's different because when I've looked

1035
00:41:25,719 --> 00:41:27,919
Speaker 11: up on our board probably for the last six years,

1036
00:41:27,960 --> 00:41:31,279
Speaker 11: really probably since twenty nineteen. I always looked at no

1037
00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:33,320
Speaker 11: blank spots at starters. I was like, all right, we

1038
00:41:33,360 --> 00:41:35,000
Speaker 11: got to get some depth here. We're an injury away

1039
00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:37,439
Speaker 11: from needing a young guy here. But we had really

1040
00:41:37,520 --> 00:41:39,440
Speaker 11: built this, i'd like to say, the right way in

1041
00:41:39,520 --> 00:41:41,680
Speaker 11: seventeen and eighteen, and it was able.

1042
00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:43,040
Speaker 10: To last us for about six years.

1043
00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:46,399
Speaker 11: And the difference now between seventeen and eighteen is those

1044
00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:49,160
Speaker 11: guys you just mentioned. We still got a number of dudes,

1045
00:41:49,719 --> 00:41:52,920
Speaker 11: some difference makers, some borderline Hall of famers, but they

1046
00:41:52,920 --> 00:41:57,160
Speaker 11: are surrounded by a team that is you say, starting over.

1047
00:41:57,560 --> 00:41:59,080
Speaker 11: It's hard for me to say starting over because of

1048
00:41:59,080 --> 00:42:01,239
Speaker 11: all those guys, but you are with the rest of

1049
00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:03,120
Speaker 11: the team. And you know, when we got here in

1050
00:42:03,200 --> 00:42:06,120
Speaker 11: seventeen and eighteen, you know we added all these young guys.

1051
00:42:06,160 --> 00:42:08,200
Speaker 11: Weren't count on young guys. But you know, on offense,

1052
00:42:08,239 --> 00:42:10,959
Speaker 11: there was only one guy who played from the year before,

1053
00:42:10,960 --> 00:42:13,600
Speaker 11: and that was Joe Stalley, so it was ten new guys.

1054
00:42:14,040 --> 00:42:16,240
Speaker 11: And then you know, by in the nineteen was shows

1055
00:42:16,320 --> 00:42:19,080
Speaker 11: last time. On defense, it was all new guys except

1056
00:42:19,160 --> 00:42:23,600
Speaker 11: for Jimmy Ward, Armstead and Buckner, so we had three

1057
00:42:23,760 --> 00:42:25,719
Speaker 11: So just to have to replace all those guys.

1058
00:42:25,760 --> 00:42:27,719
Speaker 10: It took a couple of time, and so we're all

1059
00:42:27,760 --> 00:42:28,880
Speaker 10: relating to that moment now.

1060
00:42:29,320 --> 00:42:32,879
Speaker 11: But we remind ourselves too that, yeah, but Christian's out there,

1061
00:42:33,040 --> 00:42:35,480
Speaker 11: Nick's out there, Trent's out there, Fred's out there, We

1062
00:42:35,560 --> 00:42:37,320
Speaker 11: got Brock, you know. So those are things to be

1063
00:42:37,400 --> 00:42:40,120
Speaker 11: real excited about. And we're also excited working with these

1064
00:42:40,160 --> 00:42:42,200
Speaker 11: young guys because it's what you got to do, and

1065
00:42:42,280 --> 00:42:43,759
Speaker 11: it adds a lot of energy in you to this

1066
00:42:43,840 --> 00:42:45,000
Speaker 11: place that I think is very needed.

1067
00:42:45,360 --> 00:42:47,320
Speaker 2: I got to talk to Nick earlier in for it,

1068
00:42:48,040 --> 00:42:49,920
Speaker 2: and that's what they were saying. They were saying how

1069
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:52,880
Speaker 2: much it energized them and made him excited to come

1070
00:42:52,920 --> 00:42:54,360
Speaker 2: out here because he was like, it's so new, just

1071
00:42:54,440 --> 00:42:56,840
Speaker 2: trying to get these guys to understand the standard and

1072
00:42:56,960 --> 00:43:01,239
Speaker 2: understand the approach every single day, the culture, and how

1073
00:43:01,320 --> 00:43:04,040
Speaker 2: great it is to have Sala who reinforces that and

1074
00:43:04,320 --> 00:43:07,200
Speaker 2: just to have somebody nickus like, man, when Sola, when

1075
00:43:07,239 --> 00:43:09,200
Speaker 2: you were here the first time, I didn't really understand

1076
00:43:09,320 --> 00:43:11,120
Speaker 2: all the stuff you're building, he said. Then you left,

1077
00:43:11,160 --> 00:43:13,160
Speaker 2: and then he came back. He's like, I fully understand,

1078
00:43:14,960 --> 00:43:16,879
Speaker 2: and so I think that's been really cool. But guys

1079
00:43:16,960 --> 00:43:19,920
Speaker 2: like the Amador who are leaders now who weren't here

1080
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:22,800
Speaker 2: when Solid we're here. He seems to just he's like

1081
00:43:22,920 --> 00:43:25,520
Speaker 2: the way Solid come came into meetings and the respect

1082
00:43:25,560 --> 00:43:27,720
Speaker 2: that guys in, the buy in that guys have form

1083
00:43:27,920 --> 00:43:30,399
Speaker 2: is incredible and I thought that was pretty cool.

1084
00:43:30,320 --> 00:43:32,600
Speaker 11: Here, No, it's huge and it's I mean, that was

1085
00:43:32,640 --> 00:43:34,320
Speaker 11: the big thing and wanted to get him back so

1086
00:43:34,520 --> 00:43:37,239
Speaker 11: much when he became available, because it's nothing against the

1087
00:43:37,440 --> 00:43:39,160
Speaker 11: last of the guys that he's replaced. I thought they

1088
00:43:39,200 --> 00:43:41,120
Speaker 11: did a good job, but it was we're going through

1089
00:43:41,120 --> 00:43:44,520
Speaker 11: a different transition than what we've been in and I've

1090
00:43:44,520 --> 00:43:47,680
Speaker 11: already done it once with Salam and seventeen and eighteen.

1091
00:43:47,719 --> 00:43:50,760
Speaker 11: We went through a lot of lumps, but we built

1092
00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:54,280
Speaker 11: it together. And now both of us have an experience

1093
00:43:54,360 --> 00:43:56,920
Speaker 11: of it, him going somewhere else and having to build it.

1094
00:43:57,719 --> 00:43:59,319
Speaker 10: It's so much more fun and so.

1095
00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:01,359
Speaker 11: Much more knowledge to have a guy that bouncings off

1096
00:44:01,400 --> 00:44:03,920
Speaker 11: of and who's been through it before and who understands

1097
00:44:04,120 --> 00:44:05,759
Speaker 11: some of the djustments we got to make and it's

1098
00:44:05,920 --> 00:44:06,920
Speaker 11: not his first time doing it.

1099
00:44:07,360 --> 00:44:10,160
Speaker 2: And sometimes and you can correct me if I'm wrong,

1100
00:44:10,560 --> 00:44:15,160
Speaker 2: but sometimes not the pressure, but The expectation and burden

1101
00:44:15,239 --> 00:44:18,719
Speaker 2: of being the favorite is a lot. As four team.

1102
00:44:18,760 --> 00:44:20,520
Speaker 2: I've been on great teams and where you come in

1103
00:44:20,680 --> 00:44:22,759
Speaker 2: the favorite. Then I've been on teams where you're young

1104
00:44:22,880 --> 00:44:24,960
Speaker 2: and people aren't expecting a lot, and then you slap

1105
00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:27,840
Speaker 2: everybody in the face with what you've built and what

1106
00:44:28,040 --> 00:44:29,600
Speaker 2: you go out there and the product you put on

1107
00:44:29,640 --> 00:44:30,000
Speaker 2: the field.

1108
00:44:30,800 --> 00:44:32,320
Speaker 3: How exciting is that challenge for you?

1109
00:44:32,960 --> 00:44:33,440
Speaker 10: I love that.

1110
00:44:33,640 --> 00:44:36,279
Speaker 11: I mean, I don't like being favored in every game,

1111
00:44:36,400 --> 00:44:39,720
Speaker 11: to tell you the truth. The last two years before

1112
00:44:39,760 --> 00:44:41,560
Speaker 11: this season started, we've been in favored to win all

1113
00:44:41,600 --> 00:44:44,120
Speaker 11: seventeen of our games two years in a row. So

1114
00:44:44,960 --> 00:44:46,800
Speaker 11: that was a little different, and we did have a

1115
00:44:46,840 --> 00:44:49,279
Speaker 11: good team, so I understood it, but rarely do you.

1116
00:44:49,320 --> 00:44:52,440
Speaker 10: Look at it that way. And now I don't know

1117
00:44:52,480 --> 00:44:52,920
Speaker 10: how it'll be.

1118
00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:55,000
Speaker 11: I mean I haven't checked those odds yet, but I

1119
00:44:55,000 --> 00:44:56,840
Speaker 11: don't think we're going to be in that situation. But

1120
00:44:57,120 --> 00:44:59,440
Speaker 11: we still do have a chance to win everyone, but

1121
00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:02,040
Speaker 11: would much rather be the underdog doing it. I mean,

1122
00:45:02,080 --> 00:45:03,960
Speaker 11: when guys are up for you every week, it's it

1123
00:45:04,080 --> 00:45:06,919
Speaker 11: makes a little bit different and I hope hopefully people

1124
00:45:06,960 --> 00:45:08,680
Speaker 11: can sleep on us a little bit. I know, no

1125
00:45:08,719 --> 00:45:10,719
Speaker 11: one would like that more than our guys. And then

1126
00:45:10,719 --> 00:45:12,440
Speaker 11: you come out and you shock them and you hit

1127
00:45:12,480 --> 00:45:13,000
Speaker 11: them in the mouth.

1128
00:45:13,560 --> 00:45:17,239
Speaker 2: How has your approach changed, Because it's such a tough

1129
00:45:17,320 --> 00:45:20,359
Speaker 2: season last year, and I know how much you put

1130
00:45:20,400 --> 00:45:22,759
Speaker 2: into it every freaking day and how hard you are

1131
00:45:22,840 --> 00:45:25,960
Speaker 2: on yourself, and how much what did you do this

1132
00:45:26,120 --> 00:45:28,200
Speaker 2: off season to kind of like push the reset.

1133
00:45:29,800 --> 00:45:34,920
Speaker 11: Well, having five weeks longer off helped. I'm never wishing

1134
00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:37,200
Speaker 11: for that again. I didn't like having all of January off,

1135
00:45:37,320 --> 00:45:39,279
Speaker 11: but after not having that for a while, it.

1136
00:45:39,520 --> 00:45:40,319
Speaker 10: Was it did help.

1137
00:45:41,040 --> 00:45:43,040
Speaker 11: By the time the players got back here, we were

1138
00:45:43,200 --> 00:45:45,920
Speaker 11: just we were so ready for him, and we hadn't

1139
00:45:45,960 --> 00:45:47,520
Speaker 11: been that way in a few years, and the players

1140
00:45:48,120 --> 00:45:50,719
Speaker 11: also hadn't been that way, especially after the tough Super

1141
00:45:50,719 --> 00:45:52,520
Speaker 11: Bowl loss. It just the off season was a little

1142
00:45:52,560 --> 00:45:55,000
Speaker 11: bit too fast, and to have all that time to

1143
00:45:55,080 --> 00:45:57,799
Speaker 11: really kind of get your mind right, get your health right,

1144
00:45:58,920 --> 00:46:00,600
Speaker 11: and really not just be like, all right, it's time

1145
00:46:00,640 --> 00:46:02,960
Speaker 11: to work is more like I can't wait to work.

1146
00:46:03,280 --> 00:46:04,960
Speaker 11: And then when the guys came in at Phase one,

1147
00:46:05,120 --> 00:46:07,239
Speaker 11: just the whole team being here, the way the offseason went,

1148
00:46:07,640 --> 00:46:09,400
Speaker 11: it was a different energy and it was something we

1149
00:46:09,520 --> 00:46:12,719
Speaker 11: needed because we have to build this, we have to

1150
00:46:12,800 --> 00:46:15,279
Speaker 11: earn this, where we can't just expect to be what

1151
00:46:15,400 --> 00:46:17,279
Speaker 11: we've been and we got to be more than that.

1152
00:46:17,320 --> 00:46:19,360
Speaker 11: We got to be something different than that. And that

1153
00:46:19,440 --> 00:46:21,600
Speaker 11: process has already started. I think it started a little

1154
00:46:21,640 --> 00:46:23,879
Speaker 11: bit last year. We talked about having to put three

1155
00:46:23,960 --> 00:46:25,439
Speaker 11: drafts in a row to kind of build a team

1156
00:46:25,480 --> 00:46:27,440
Speaker 11: the right way, which I thought we did seventeen and

1157
00:46:27,520 --> 00:46:29,360
Speaker 11: eighteen and nineteen. And when I look at some of

1158
00:46:29,440 --> 00:46:32,560
Speaker 11: our drafts last year, with guys like Ricky, guys like Mustafa,

1159
00:46:32,840 --> 00:46:34,640
Speaker 11: I mean, guys who came out and played real well,

1160
00:46:34,840 --> 00:46:36,719
Speaker 11: I'm hoping they can step up in year two along

1161
00:46:36,760 --> 00:46:38,879
Speaker 11: with these rookies. And I'm hoping we had a whole

1162
00:46:38,960 --> 00:46:41,680
Speaker 11: other very good group next year too. And hopefully when

1163
00:46:41,680 --> 00:46:43,440
Speaker 11: you do that, three years in a row gives you

1164
00:46:43,520 --> 00:46:47,759
Speaker 11: a chance to compete there for five to six years, hopefully, no.

1165
00:46:47,920 --> 00:46:48,480
Speaker 3: Question about it.

1166
00:46:49,000 --> 00:46:53,400
Speaker 2: And speaking about development, you be's a little different this year.

1167
00:46:53,520 --> 00:46:57,000
Speaker 2: You know, obviously brought got his pay freaking looks incredible now.

1168
00:46:57,200 --> 00:47:02,120
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know who seventeen is, I mean today,

1169
00:47:02,520 --> 00:47:03,799
Speaker 2: but you got Mac Jones.

1170
00:47:03,560 --> 00:47:06,239
Speaker 10: In seventeen's got his son too. By the way, no way.

1171
00:47:06,680 --> 00:47:09,319
Speaker 11: Yeah, that was like the only reason I almost didn't

1172
00:47:09,320 --> 00:47:10,640
Speaker 11: want to do it, because then like do we can't

1173
00:47:10,680 --> 00:47:12,080
Speaker 11: Oh wait, the guy throws two good.

1174
00:47:12,160 --> 00:47:13,600
Speaker 10: I don't care who his dad is, so.

1175
00:47:14,200 --> 00:47:17,239
Speaker 3: He dropped the diamond there between two on like a dig.

1176
00:47:17,880 --> 00:47:19,840
Speaker 10: I was like cool going across the board. Did a

1177
00:47:19,880 --> 00:47:20,720
Speaker 10: real good job today.

1178
00:47:20,840 --> 00:47:25,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, sorry, I got tie tracked. But but you got

1179
00:47:25,200 --> 00:47:28,000
Speaker 2: mac Jones, who you guys were rumored to have been.

1180
00:47:28,200 --> 00:47:30,680
Speaker 2: You know, he got drafted in tenth pick. But it

1181
00:47:30,800 --> 00:47:33,000
Speaker 2: just seems like such a strong room. And then going

1182
00:47:33,160 --> 00:47:36,000
Speaker 2: back to was that Brock's rookie year when when you

1183
00:47:36,080 --> 00:47:36,720
Speaker 2: guys had.

1184
00:47:36,680 --> 00:47:39,600
Speaker 10: Uh Trey and Jimmy Yeah.

1185
00:47:39,920 --> 00:47:41,839
Speaker 3: The next year, the second year, sorry, when you guys

1186
00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:44,000
Speaker 3: had uh Sam Donald Sam Donald? Yeah.

1187
00:47:44,040 --> 00:47:47,880
Speaker 2: And in the way Sam's blossomed, do you find do

1188
00:47:48,000 --> 00:47:50,680
Speaker 2: you find any pride in that and in his success,

1189
00:47:50,760 --> 00:47:53,160
Speaker 2: in the success of Brock, and just how you've been

1190
00:47:53,239 --> 00:47:56,640
Speaker 2: able to not only develop your quarterback and in an

1191
00:47:56,680 --> 00:47:59,239
Speaker 2: incredible way a seventh round pick mystery relevant all that

1192
00:47:59,400 --> 00:48:01,239
Speaker 2: nonsense to one of the highest paid quarterbacks in the

1193
00:48:01,280 --> 00:48:04,040
Speaker 2: National Football League when the most efficient, and then also

1194
00:48:04,160 --> 00:48:08,200
Speaker 2: seeing Sam's success both out in Minnesota and then getting

1195
00:48:08,200 --> 00:48:09,840
Speaker 2: the starting job and making a lot of money, and

1196
00:48:09,880 --> 00:48:11,480
Speaker 2: then you bring in Mac.

1197
00:48:11,360 --> 00:48:13,480
Speaker 3: Jones, who looks like he's on a similar trajectory.

1198
00:48:13,680 --> 00:48:15,439
Speaker 11: Well, I mean, you do have a lot of pride

1199
00:48:15,480 --> 00:48:18,120
Speaker 11: in it, but it's also like, I can't tell you

1200
00:48:18,160 --> 00:48:19,200
Speaker 11: how good all those guys are.

1201
00:48:19,440 --> 00:48:19,600
Speaker 3: You know.

1202
00:48:19,719 --> 00:48:22,560
Speaker 11: It's not like we saw them and they weren't good,

1203
00:48:22,640 --> 00:48:23,920
Speaker 11: and then we're like, if they just come to us,

1204
00:48:23,960 --> 00:48:24,880
Speaker 11: they'll be good, you know.

1205
00:48:24,920 --> 00:48:26,719
Speaker 10: I mean we watched all those guys in college and.

1206
00:48:26,719 --> 00:48:28,200
Speaker 11: We thought they had a chance to be really good,

1207
00:48:28,400 --> 00:48:29,760
Speaker 11: you know, And then you watch them on an NFL

1208
00:48:29,840 --> 00:48:32,560
Speaker 11: tape and the numbers aren't always great or the teams,

1209
00:48:32,680 --> 00:48:34,399
Speaker 11: you know, the wins losses aren't, but you can still

1210
00:48:34,440 --> 00:48:36,800
Speaker 11: watch on film exactly what you saw in college and

1211
00:48:36,960 --> 00:48:38,680
Speaker 11: know that they have an opportunity to be real.

1212
00:48:38,760 --> 00:48:40,479
Speaker 10: Well, now you got to put them in a scheme.

1213
00:48:40,520 --> 00:48:42,040
Speaker 11: You got to put a team around them so they

1214
00:48:42,080 --> 00:48:44,000
Speaker 11: have a chance to And then you don't know the

1215
00:48:44,040 --> 00:48:45,319
Speaker 11: guys you've just seen them on tape.

1216
00:48:45,440 --> 00:48:46,800
Speaker 10: But when you get the guys here.

1217
00:48:46,760 --> 00:48:49,520
Speaker 11: Guys like Sam, guys like Brock Mac, and then you

1218
00:48:49,560 --> 00:48:51,120
Speaker 11: see what type of dudes they are, and you have

1219
00:48:51,239 --> 00:48:54,000
Speaker 11: the tape from college that you know you're like, all right,

1220
00:48:54,120 --> 00:48:55,960
Speaker 11: I don't get why this guy can't play.

1221
00:48:56,000 --> 00:48:58,080
Speaker 10: He's got to be able to play. He seems too good.

1222
00:48:58,480 --> 00:48:59,840
Speaker 11: And then you get him in the scheme, you go

1223
00:49:00,040 --> 00:49:02,040
Speaker 11: against everything, and if they work and they're made of

1224
00:49:02,080 --> 00:49:04,480
Speaker 11: the right stuff, they usually end up showing you exactly

1225
00:49:04,600 --> 00:49:06,680
Speaker 11: what you thought they were a while ago. They just

1226
00:49:06,800 --> 00:49:09,000
Speaker 11: got to be in some probably better opportunities.

1227
00:49:09,160 --> 00:49:09,920
Speaker 3: No question about it.

1228
00:49:10,200 --> 00:49:14,399
Speaker 2: Has anything changed philosophically offensively? Obviously you've lost so many

1229
00:49:14,520 --> 00:49:17,000
Speaker 2: freaking coordinators and so many people on your offensive staff

1230
00:49:17,040 --> 00:49:20,239
Speaker 2: for the best of reasons for head coaching jobs, et cetera,

1231
00:49:20,280 --> 00:49:25,680
Speaker 2: et cetera. But now you bring in Koobiak and he's

1232
00:49:25,960 --> 00:49:28,360
Speaker 2: new to it. Obviously you're still calling the plays. But

1233
00:49:28,600 --> 00:49:31,200
Speaker 2: how does that change your philosophy and impact you know,

1234
00:49:31,280 --> 00:49:32,160
Speaker 2: of the run game and.

1235
00:49:32,360 --> 00:49:33,000
Speaker 3: What he's bringing.

1236
00:49:33,760 --> 00:49:34,719
Speaker 10: I mean, these guys like.

1237
00:49:36,239 --> 00:49:38,920
Speaker 11: We've built all these guys haven't been really brought in

1238
00:49:39,040 --> 00:49:42,200
Speaker 11: from outside. They've all like I mean, Clay, you know,

1239
00:49:42,320 --> 00:49:44,239
Speaker 11: he's Clay's been and was in high school until he

1240
00:49:44,320 --> 00:49:47,480
Speaker 11: was thirty, and he was smarter than most of us.

1241
00:49:47,480 --> 00:49:49,279
Speaker 11: He knew he didn't want this lifestyle. He wanted to

1242
00:49:49,360 --> 00:49:51,400
Speaker 11: have a more comfortable lifestyle. He ran a hell of

1243
00:49:51,440 --> 00:49:54,080
Speaker 11: a program in high school, but he'd been around it

1244
00:49:54,200 --> 00:49:56,320
Speaker 11: so long, just like I have. You know, he was

1245
00:49:56,480 --> 00:49:58,520
Speaker 11: obsessed with everything that his dad did, so he had

1246
00:49:58,560 --> 00:50:00,920
Speaker 11: such a good background. And when I brought him here,

1247
00:50:00,960 --> 00:50:03,520
Speaker 11: I put him on defense for two years and he

1248
00:50:03,640 --> 00:50:06,520
Speaker 11: was there with Demiko, And that's exactly what I did

1249
00:50:06,560 --> 00:50:08,640
Speaker 11: with Bobby Sloeg too, That's what I did with Brian Flurry,

1250
00:50:08,640 --> 00:50:11,440
Speaker 11: who's our run game coordinator. So all these guys go

1251
00:50:11,560 --> 00:50:13,359
Speaker 11: over there and they get trained on football, just how

1252
00:50:13,400 --> 00:50:15,120
Speaker 11: to know the excess and o's of defense. And then

1253
00:50:15,520 --> 00:50:17,680
Speaker 11: if there are guys that I believe will be offensive coaches,

1254
00:50:17,680 --> 00:50:19,680
Speaker 11: I bring him over to the offensive side, and then

1255
00:50:19,680 --> 00:50:22,719
Speaker 11: they kind of be with us as QC's, as assistants,

1256
00:50:22,800 --> 00:50:24,440
Speaker 11: and they get to learn all the scheme. They're not

1257
00:50:24,560 --> 00:50:27,840
Speaker 11: just sitting in room only focusing on coaching the wide receivers,

1258
00:50:27,880 --> 00:50:30,440
Speaker 11: are only focusing on coaching the quarterback. Those are the

1259
00:50:30,440 --> 00:50:32,759
Speaker 11: guys actually work with me the most who can think

1260
00:50:32,800 --> 00:50:34,320
Speaker 11: a little bit more scheme because they're not having to

1261
00:50:34,360 --> 00:50:36,600
Speaker 11: run positions all the time, and then they're more than

1262
00:50:36,640 --> 00:50:38,880
Speaker 11: ready for when they get that role. And Clay's been

1263
00:50:39,000 --> 00:50:40,839
Speaker 11: a stud He's been as good as anyone I've had.

1264
00:50:41,280 --> 00:50:44,040
Speaker 11: I mean, yeah, I call the plays, but I have

1265
00:50:44,160 --> 00:50:46,080
Speaker 11: no problem with him calling it either. And there's times

1266
00:50:46,120 --> 00:50:47,560
Speaker 11: where I will just tell him to call it, and

1267
00:50:47,640 --> 00:50:50,719
Speaker 11: I'll do that this year at times. Brian Flurry, you know,

1268
00:50:50,800 --> 00:50:52,839
Speaker 11: he's been working in our run game ever since Mike

1269
00:50:52,920 --> 00:50:56,399
Speaker 11: McDaniel left, and I think we've done very good since then.

1270
00:50:56,560 --> 00:50:58,359
Speaker 11: So he's done an awesome job. But he was also

1271
00:50:58,400 --> 00:50:59,920
Speaker 11: around here for a number of years, so he could

1272
00:51:00,040 --> 00:51:01,920
Speaker 11: see how we do do it, and when his time came,

1273
00:51:02,000 --> 00:51:04,359
Speaker 11: he was ready for it. And then Chris Furster, who

1274
00:51:04,400 --> 00:51:06,360
Speaker 11: was as important as any coach I've ever been around.

1275
00:51:07,080 --> 00:51:09,919
Speaker 11: He was with me in Washington for those four years.

1276
00:51:10,520 --> 00:51:12,200
Speaker 11: He's been the best goal line coach to me in

1277
00:51:12,200 --> 00:51:14,920
Speaker 11: the NFL, and I feel extremely fortunate to have him.

1278
00:51:14,960 --> 00:51:17,000
Speaker 10: And he's a guy that I always plan on being

1279
00:51:17,000 --> 00:51:17,360
Speaker 10: together with.

1280
00:51:18,040 --> 00:51:21,480
Speaker 2: Love that who because the last eight years that you've

1281
00:51:21,560 --> 00:51:23,719
Speaker 2: coached here, you started training cup off with a run

1282
00:51:24,800 --> 00:51:26,920
Speaker 2: and then you bomb sama the first play.

1283
00:51:29,200 --> 00:51:31,800
Speaker 3: That play, action, one first play.

1284
00:51:32,000 --> 00:51:32,880
Speaker 10: Everything's a setup.

1285
00:51:32,960 --> 00:51:35,640
Speaker 11: You know how it is so rude if we're talking

1286
00:51:35,719 --> 00:51:37,239
Speaker 11: run all day to him, you know we're starting out

1287
00:51:37,239 --> 00:51:39,040
Speaker 11: with the pass and we're talking passes all day. We're

1288
00:51:39,040 --> 00:51:41,240
Speaker 11: just gonna hand it off forty times, so it's always

1289
00:51:41,239 --> 00:51:42,200
Speaker 11: got to be a set up with them.

1290
00:51:42,440 --> 00:51:44,759
Speaker 2: I'm gonna miss that. I'm gonna miss how you you,

1291
00:51:45,040 --> 00:51:46,800
Speaker 2: you and him go at it. I'm sure it's gonna be.

1292
00:51:47,480 --> 00:51:50,480
Speaker 2: It's been some fun battles this training camp. I would imagine, Man,

1293
00:51:50,520 --> 00:51:53,160
Speaker 2: I miss I miss you guys. I missed the mental battles,

1294
00:51:53,200 --> 00:51:56,399
Speaker 2: the mental gymnastics, the schematic gymnastics, and how you knew

1295
00:51:56,440 --> 00:51:58,360
Speaker 2: every hold in the scheme and tried to.

1296
00:52:00,400 --> 00:52:03,480
Speaker 11: Well, that's what's fun because when you do learn the defense,

1297
00:52:03,560 --> 00:52:05,680
Speaker 11: you should be able to get it eventually. And then

1298
00:52:05,719 --> 00:52:07,560
Speaker 11: that's why you try to get certain players to stop it.

1299
00:52:08,920 --> 00:52:11,640
Speaker 11: And then Solid we'll always say, yeah, but he doesn't

1300
00:52:11,680 --> 00:52:13,759
Speaker 11: have to justice little someone else does it. But then

1301
00:52:14,239 --> 00:52:15,600
Speaker 11: in this league, someone else is going to do it

1302
00:52:15,640 --> 00:52:18,000
Speaker 11: pretty damn fast, right, And that's what it's been cool

1303
00:52:18,040 --> 00:52:20,920
Speaker 11: about Solid. We know how we started out and we

1304
00:52:21,000 --> 00:52:24,040
Speaker 11: know where we are now. And that's just my life experiences.

1305
00:52:24,080 --> 00:52:26,160
Speaker 11: You go through things in games, you go against schemes,

1306
00:52:26,200 --> 00:52:28,319
Speaker 11: and you always have to be adding. That's when people

1307
00:52:28,360 --> 00:52:31,400
Speaker 11: ask me what my scheme is. I really can't answer.

1308
00:52:31,840 --> 00:52:33,279
Speaker 11: It has to do with what we're going against. It

1309
00:52:33,360 --> 00:52:35,000
Speaker 11: has to do with what your players are, and it's

1310
00:52:35,040 --> 00:52:37,520
Speaker 11: about figuring out scheme. It's about understanding your personnel and

1311
00:52:37,600 --> 00:52:40,200
Speaker 11: putting those guys in the best position to win, which

1312
00:52:40,440 --> 00:52:41,800
Speaker 11: is never an absolute answer.

1313
00:52:41,800 --> 00:52:42,560
Speaker 10: It's always changing.

1314
00:52:42,719 --> 00:52:45,160
Speaker 2: And that's what that was my last question because this

1315
00:52:45,880 --> 00:52:49,360
Speaker 2: league has pretty much been built to stop your quote

1316
00:52:49,400 --> 00:52:52,879
Speaker 2: unsquote scheme. I mean, which is West Coast Bill Walsh,

1317
00:52:52,960 --> 00:52:56,799
Speaker 2: the old school, but it's what you McVeigh freaking la floor.

1318
00:52:56,880 --> 00:53:00,759
Speaker 2: A lot of teams, I mean, Oconno O'Connell, everybody's running

1319
00:53:01,640 --> 00:53:05,360
Speaker 2: similar some version of I don't know how your scheme.

1320
00:53:06,360 --> 00:53:07,120
Speaker 3: How tough is that?

1321
00:53:07,440 --> 00:53:09,600
Speaker 2: Because it's every year the league is working hard to

1322
00:53:10,080 --> 00:53:13,680
Speaker 2: come up with adjustments, new defenses, new coverages, new blitzes

1323
00:53:13,760 --> 00:53:14,919
Speaker 2: to stop that scheme.

1324
00:53:15,120 --> 00:53:17,799
Speaker 11: I mean, it gets more challenging. I think the most

1325
00:53:17,880 --> 00:53:21,080
Speaker 11: challenging thing is people practice against the more. When people

1326
00:53:21,239 --> 00:53:23,840
Speaker 11: implement stuff that we do, whether it's the motions, the

1327
00:53:23,960 --> 00:53:26,399
Speaker 11: run schemes, some of the concepts we do. When that's

1328
00:53:26,440 --> 00:53:28,960
Speaker 11: showing up in a lot of more people's offenses, that

1329
00:53:29,040 --> 00:53:31,799
Speaker 11: means they're practicing it throughout training camp, where when other

1330
00:53:31,960 --> 00:53:34,320
Speaker 11: offenses used to not do it. They would try to

1331
00:53:34,360 --> 00:53:36,640
Speaker 11: practice it on a carded period on Wednesday and Thursday.

1332
00:53:36,719 --> 00:53:38,560
Speaker 11: Then they would try to do it half speed on Friday,

1333
00:53:38,600 --> 00:53:40,160
Speaker 11: and then they would get shocked on Sunday.

1334
00:53:41,120 --> 00:53:42,400
Speaker 10: Now it gives them a little bit more of a

1335
00:53:42,440 --> 00:53:43,120
Speaker 10: head start, so that.

1336
00:53:43,160 --> 00:53:45,200
Speaker 11: Part's a little frustrating. I wish we could patent some

1337
00:53:45,320 --> 00:53:47,680
Speaker 11: certain things, but they won't allow you to do that.

1338
00:53:47,880 --> 00:53:49,920
Speaker 11: So you just you got to keep working, and you've

1339
00:53:49,920 --> 00:53:51,719
Speaker 11: got to keep trying to find better players than the

1340
00:53:51,760 --> 00:53:53,200
Speaker 11: people you're going against, right.

1341
00:53:53,320 --> 00:53:55,040
Speaker 3: And you guys got them. You guys got them.

1342
00:53:55,040 --> 00:53:57,279
Speaker 2: I'm excited to watch this year as a as a

1343
00:53:57,400 --> 00:54:00,520
Speaker 2: fan and friend of yours. Think it's gonna be a

1344
00:54:00,520 --> 00:54:02,000
Speaker 2: great year. And I appreciate you getting me to talk

1345
00:54:02,160 --> 00:54:02,760
Speaker 2: it always.

1346
00:54:02,800 --> 00:54:04,360
Speaker 10: Man, love you coming down here though, I.

1347
00:54:04,440 --> 00:54:06,440
Speaker 3: Love to come down. Appreciate your brother, all right, man,
