1
00:00:02,920 --> 00:00:05,400
Speaker 1: Welcome into the Ravens Press Past podcast. It is Monday,

2
00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:08,160
Speaker 1: April twenty first, and the Ravens kicked off their voluntary

3
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:11,479
Speaker 1: off season conditioning program today. This is the start of

4
00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:14,320
Speaker 1: the team's off season calendar. It's the first team activity

5
00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:16,239
Speaker 1: since last season ended, and this is a chance for

6
00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:19,239
Speaker 1: the Ravens to really build a foundation for the upcoming season.

7
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:20,799
Speaker 1: Today we had a chance to hear from some of

8
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:22,880
Speaker 1: the team leaders. Let's kick things off with Strength and

9
00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:25,120
Speaker 1: Conditioning coordinator Scott Elliott.

10
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:32,280
Speaker 2: Thank you guys for coming out and allowing us to

11
00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:36,479
Speaker 2: talk a little bit about this phase a year. I mean,

12
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:39,600
Speaker 2: I think it should go without saying maybe the look

13
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:42,479
Speaker 2: on my face. We look forward to this time all

14
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:46,360
Speaker 2: year long, especially through February and March. We had a

15
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:49,960
Speaker 2: great session today, day one of week one. I was

16
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:53,000
Speaker 2: able to talk to the guys as a group. Defense

17
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:54,840
Speaker 2: was first, while the offense met and then we had

18
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 2: offense second. But in talking to the guys before we

19
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:02,720
Speaker 2: got started, three points of discussion or notes with them.

20
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 2: One was an appreciation for them being here during the

21
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 2: voluntary period.

22
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 3: How much we take that to.

23
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 2: Heart and how excited we are to progress the work

24
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:15,119
Speaker 2: that they've done on their own during the dead period

25
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:19,039
Speaker 2: while wherever they were, whether it was in sunny climates

26
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 2: or close by, but we looked to build on that

27
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 2: going into Phase two and Phase three get into OTA's

28
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 2: and Mini Camp. The second part of it was just

29
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:33,320
Speaker 2: talking to him about how the schedule lays out so

30
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:35,479
Speaker 2: phase to phase and then really broke it down into

31
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 2: the weekly and day schedule. So we had some new

32
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:41,839
Speaker 2: guys here that haven't been a part of this process yet,

33
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 2: so just broke that down for them to kind of

34
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 2: give them a lay of the land to understand how

35
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 2: we devise the workouts and the runs, just high level

36
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 2: stuff of two days a week, we focused on acceleration, deceleration,

37
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 2: change the direction, top end speed. The other two days

38
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 2: of the running sessions were worked and we're focusing more

39
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 2: on conditioning, so on how those two will compliment each

40
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 2: other and we'll progress some week over week getting into

41
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 2: Mini camp, you know, to culminate it in June. And

42
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 2: then the same thing, just talked about how the lifts

43
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:13,360
Speaker 2: will start the foundation phase in the weight room, how

44
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:16,360
Speaker 2: we'll progress those in two separate phases to get to

45
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:18,680
Speaker 2: the end of June. And then the third thing I'd

46
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 2: talked to him about to finish it out before we

47
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 2: got moving today was what our mind frame was in

48
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:27,080
Speaker 2: here when we ran in the weight room, and then

49
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:29,359
Speaker 2: to carry it throughout the building was earn the right.

50
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 2: So we've got a big screen as you enter the

51
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,519
Speaker 2: weight room and each year I try to put a

52
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,800
Speaker 2: message on there and this year what's stuck with all

53
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 2: of us as the strength staff was earn the right.

54
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 2: We've been fortunate, but the Ravens to earn a lot

55
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:44,919
Speaker 2: along the way and this year it's all about earn

56
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:45,920
Speaker 2: the right, so.

57
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 3: And it's up to them to decide what that right is.

58
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 2: So it is it earned the right to start fast,

59
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 2: to finish games, to play winning football, to earn the

60
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,520
Speaker 2: right for one more rep, one more set, whatever that is.

61
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:01,800
Speaker 2: So we're taking in that as kind of our stance

62
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 2: from a mental and perspective standpoint to start this Phase

63
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 2: one and hopefully grow it, get into a training camp

64
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:13,680
Speaker 2: and then a successful twenty twenty five campaign. So if

65
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 2: that'll open up to questions.

66
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 4: Anything different this year that you've kind of added, especially

67
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:23,639
Speaker 4: in Phase one, based off of anything from last year

68
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 4: that you.

69
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:25,360
Speaker 5: Know you decided to change out.

70
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, foundationally the phase from last year and then the

71
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 2: year prior. It's it is the same in what we're

72
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 2: working on now. Tools and toys that we've added along

73
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 2: the way we have we have done that. There's a

74
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 2: cool down the way here in the way in the

75
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 2: indoor as a cool OHM machine. It's an isokinetic machine

76
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 2: that allows us to get real time data on their

77
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 2: force output, whether they're doing heavy work or speed work.

78
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 3: So that's a tool we've put into play in the

79
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 3: weight room.

80
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 2: We integrated it last year, being more comprehensive with it

81
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 2: this year with a perch system that will measure the

82
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 2: bar speed and again it's all in the notion of

83
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 2: giving the athlete real time feedback for whatever we're trying

84
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 2: to do in that day.

85
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 3: If they need to move the bar faster, we've got

86
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 3: it on the iPad. If they're moving it too fast for.

87
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 2: Whatever strength quality we're trying to get out of them,

88
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 2: we know that we can add more weight and slow

89
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:19,040
Speaker 2: it down and talk to them about the why. So

90
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 2: it's kind of exciting to add those new toys, you know,

91
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 2: in here and in the weight room, but still keep

92
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 2: the foundations the same.

93
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 6: Can you use that kind of technology during the pre

94
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 6: draft process that I don't know how involved you are,

95
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:35,359
Speaker 6: but like your team's bringing guys in and maybe getting

96
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:38,240
Speaker 6: a sense a better sense for where they are strength wise,

97
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 6: at the athletic wise.

98
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 3: Absolutely in our scouting department.

99
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm a biased opinion up here standing in

100
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:46,919
Speaker 2: front of you, guys is the best in the business.

101
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 2: And so what they'll do is we'll bring in top

102
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 2: thirty guys. We'll sit and visit with them. We won't

103
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 2: put them through any of the assessments in here. During

104
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 2: that time, we'll take a lot of their data from

105
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 2: their pro days and combine numbers and then utilize that

106
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 2: as we if they're UDFA, if they're a draft pick.

107
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 3: And then we'll be able to implement that with our

108
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:05,040
Speaker 3: system when they come in.

109
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 7: When they bring in.

110
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 8: Free agents, do they ever inquire about the weight training

111
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 8: that you have here?

112
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, Yeah, that's been a big thing over the

113
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 2: last i'd say five five plus years.

114
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:18,600
Speaker 3: Is when you're getting free agents.

115
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 2: Now they're looking at the whole picture of the building, right,

116
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:25,039
Speaker 2: It's not just contracts a huge part of it, but

117
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:28,039
Speaker 2: they're looking at your training room, your weight room, how

118
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:30,799
Speaker 2: you operate in those rooms. Because they're looking at the

119
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,799
Speaker 2: entirety of the package as they're in that free agent process,

120
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:36,040
Speaker 2: and that's been big, let's say, over the last three years.

121
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:38,719
Speaker 2: It's really coming to play when we bring in free agents,

122
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 2: you know, prior to signing they're on the visit, we'll

123
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 2: talk to them about how we train you know, historically,

124
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:45,839
Speaker 2: who we've worked with that may be similar to them,

125
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 2: maybe it's at that point in their career position wise,

126
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 2: but that we've become much more comprehensive in that regard.

127
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:56,040
Speaker 9: And now year one, the year two is often seen

128
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 9: as a critical year for body kind of transformations, these

129
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 9: guys getting acclimated to the NFL, specifically to Nate Wiggins.

130
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 9: You know, what did you see from him in the

131
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 9: weight room this past season, and then what hopes do

132
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 9: you have for this.

133
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:12,839
Speaker 2: Offsson hope, my hope for Nate is to continue the trajectory,

134
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:14,480
Speaker 2: the vertical trajectory of the kids already on.

135
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 3: You got to see it on the field.

136
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:20,159
Speaker 2: He is a physical freak in his ability to go

137
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 2: display his attributes out on the field and all year

138
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 2: last year Nate did not just everything that we had

139
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:28,839
Speaker 2: asked of him, but did it to the to the

140
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:31,840
Speaker 2: fullest degree. And I think you saw that as a

141
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 2: young kid coming in you know, young body, right, young mind,

142
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 2: and you saw how he was able to play all

143
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:41,840
Speaker 2: seventeen games and in the playoffs and play at a

144
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 2: high level. So I'm excited for Nick that as we

145
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 2: go onto year two, you'll see even more physical maturation.

146
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 3: Especially coming out of year one.

147
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 2: You have a lot of draft prep, so you have

148
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 2: a lot of you know, in that process.

149
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 3: You know, in the February and the March, they're doing

150
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:56,800
Speaker 3: a lot of.

151
00:06:56,960 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 2: Really their drills and their their training sessions are really

152
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:02,920
Speaker 2: centered around what they're going to do in Indianapolis, right,

153
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 2: So what we're now and then that's to your point, Ryan,

154
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:08,240
Speaker 2: is when we've worked through the season last year and

155
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 2: we get into now this offseason, moving to this year,

156
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 2: now we can work more specifically to his game and

157
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 2: playing you know, playing football. So I'm looking forward to

158
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 2: his step he'll make from a physical standpoint, he's seen.

159
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 6: How have you seen the program overall?

160
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 1: It's evolve in your time being here and taking over

161
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 1: the leadership, How has this program evolved?

162
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 2: Fortunately, truly truly blessed to see the evolution over the

163
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:36,560
Speaker 2: last couple of years. Of you've got this time of

164
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:39,280
Speaker 2: the year, then you've got training camp, you've got in season,

165
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 2: and the buy in that the players have allowed us

166
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 2: to have and their you know, daily routine and let

167
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 2: us truly kind of step into their world and say,

168
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 2: what we're trying to do in here, whether it's in

169
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 2: the indoor or in that weight room, is to help

170
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 2: you be the best version of yourself. So when we've evolved,

171
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 2: that's allowed us to get more detailed with the guys

172
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 2: because as we're working, you know, in training camp, we

173
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 2: got ninety so you know, we divide and conquer. Fortunately,

174
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 2: I'm very, very blessed to have a great staff in

175
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 2: that regard, just to you know now that I'm talking

176
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 2: about and I'll come back to your point. Ron Shrift,

177
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 2: Kevin Hartman, Kaylen Busky, Anthony Watson have been with me

178
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 2: the whole time, and so with that buy in, we're.

179
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 3: Able to get more detailed.

180
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 2: Now We've i brought up the fun tools and toys,

181
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 2: but now we've got the dialogue that each year, I

182
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:33,680
Speaker 2: feel like we've gotten even better and we still have

183
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:39,720
Speaker 2: room to grow in helping individualize their program to progress them. Obviously,

184
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:41,840
Speaker 2: the spring is huge, but in training camp and throughout

185
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:42,320
Speaker 2: the season.

186
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:45,440
Speaker 10: It's got related to that, but more specifically, injury prevention

187
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:49,320
Speaker 10: is so massive for NFL success. The team had a

188
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 10: very healthy season last year, but you know, over the

189
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 10: last few years, because I mean that was a major

190
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 10: topic a few.

191
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:55,440
Speaker 5: Years back with injuries.

192
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,200
Speaker 10: Where do you think as an organization from a strengthen

193
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:01,880
Speaker 10: conditioning standpoint, that you've made strong that maybe have meshed

194
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:04,720
Speaker 10: with seeing fewer injuries, you know, whether it's ramping up

195
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:05,719
Speaker 10: more slowly, whatever it might be.

196
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:06,800
Speaker 4: Where do you guys think that.

197
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 10: You've made some progress that that that you've seen that

198
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:12,640
Speaker 10: kind of you know, yeah, the decrease in injuries.

199
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a that's a great question. And we have

200
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:18,240
Speaker 2: been fortunate in that regard. And I always remind you know,

201
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:20,600
Speaker 2: anybody that that allows me to talk and we get

202
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 2: on this this subject is you know, you got to

203
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 2: have great preparation and whatever you know, each team or

204
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:29,000
Speaker 2: each weight rooms preparation is you've got a great preparation

205
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 2: and that's got to be matched with great luck. And

206
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 2: I truly believe, you know, over the last couple of years,

207
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 2: we've seen both of those come together.

208
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 3: At the end of the day, it's a very physical game.

209
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 2: You know, things do happen that are outside of your control,

210
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:45,080
Speaker 2: and we've been fortunate to avoid those and if we haven't,

211
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 2: you know, incurred those situations, they've been more on the

212
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:48,560
Speaker 2: short term side of things.

213
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 3: We've returned guys to play.

214
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 2: But I think it comes back to, uh, just the

215
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 2: point prior to this with the buy in of the players,

216
00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 2: and we're able to individualize kind of there their structure

217
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:02,600
Speaker 2: of either their lift or their run.

218
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:04,800
Speaker 3: That's part of the preparation process.

219
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 2: And then I think we've had a great turnout over

220
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 2: the past couple of years and this year included of

221
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 2: this phase. And I truly believe this phase is the

222
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 2: foundation of which training camp the whole year is predicated on.

223
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 2: So I think those are those are kind of two

224
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 2: things that I I hang my hat on that that

225
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,840
Speaker 2: that's allowed success. And obviously you got to pray for

226
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:27,960
Speaker 2: the best with the rest.

227
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,439
Speaker 9: Derek Hennery here last year, and did you adopt anything

228
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:34,200
Speaker 9: from what he does and you know, incorporated into work.

229
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:34,560
Speaker 7: You guys see.

230
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:39,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, Actually, so having Derek in is incredible and I'd

231
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 2: say the most fun was Derek. He stayed around after

232
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 2: the season for a couple of weeks before heading back

233
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:46,720
Speaker 2: down to Dallas and talking to him even more at length.

234
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:48,720
Speaker 2: You know, through the season, as you guys probably saw

235
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 2: Derek's appro he comes in, he does his work, he goes,

236
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 2: you know, goes about his business. He's out and getting

237
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 2: to know Derek and getting to dive in even more

238
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:02,560
Speaker 2: about you know, what he does. And Die tells, it's incredible,

239
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 2: and yeah, there's some things that we've taken in.

240
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:06,000
Speaker 3: And I'll say this about Derek.

241
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 2: It was, you know, this time last year we were

242
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:09,400
Speaker 2: talking and I kind of asked him that question, and

243
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 2: I'll ask you know, vets that have been around, and

244
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:15,040
Speaker 2: I know they have a real detailed off season program.

245
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 2: A lot of times I'll talk to the trainer strength

246
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:19,840
Speaker 2: coach that they work with, and I said, what do

247
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:21,560
Speaker 2: you want to what do you want to include from

248
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 2: you know, what you do in Texas back here, and

249
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:25,959
Speaker 2: they said, give me everything he got. He said, I'm

250
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,160
Speaker 2: a clean sat give me everything he got. So and

251
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:31,319
Speaker 2: I think about that that period in the off season

252
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:33,320
Speaker 2: when he stuck around for heading back to his family,

253
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 2: he brought up there was a workout that he had

254
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 2: asked me to write before going on break last year

255
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:41,440
Speaker 2: between mini camp and training camp, and by the end

256
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 2: of it, long story short, he had his brother doing it,

257
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 2: everybody in the weight room doing it, and so there

258
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:49,480
Speaker 2: was this this nice connection between what he does in

259
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:51,680
Speaker 2: Dallas and what we do up here. And as you

260
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:53,560
Speaker 2: can see, you saw what he did last year on

261
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 2: the field, and it's working for the guy.

262
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:57,200
Speaker 6: I don't think we got a chance to ask you

263
00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:59,959
Speaker 6: last year about Lamar losing his weight remaking this by

264
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:01,840
Speaker 6: what was the emphasis for him?

265
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:03,920
Speaker 3: And I guess is it the same kind of emphasis

266
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 3: this year with Lamar?

267
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 2: It's is to take what he did last year and

268
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 2: continue that that process. As you guys saw, he was

269
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:15,000
Speaker 2: in great shape at this point last year. He is

270
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:17,079
Speaker 2: again this year. And then we wanted to just lay

271
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 2: down some lean muscle tissue as we got into the season,

272
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:22,559
Speaker 2: and you saw that as you know we got into

273
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:25,959
Speaker 2: the season, he was up a few pounds and then

274
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:28,440
Speaker 2: played at that MVP caliber level. You know, obviously, if

275
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 2: I had a vote, I know what I would have voted.

276
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 2: But that's a plan for this year as well.

277
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:36,120
Speaker 11: Are there any general benchmarks that you look to hit

278
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 11: this early on.

279
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:39,800
Speaker 3: In the process in terms of what I.

280
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 11: Mean just each fathe.

281
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:44,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, of course, of course, yeah, yeah, so benchmarks. Yeah.

282
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:47,560
Speaker 2: So in the weight room, what we're looking to do

283
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:50,680
Speaker 2: is is this is called our general preparation phase. So

284
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:53,160
Speaker 2: we'll break it up in two four week blocks and

285
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:56,720
Speaker 2: it'll progress and in each four week block week over week.

286
00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:59,559
Speaker 2: But this first phase is first four weeks we're looking

287
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 2: for immetry, so no matter what they have done or

288
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:04,560
Speaker 2: not done, you know, the last couple of months on

289
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:07,080
Speaker 2: their on their free time, we're looking to bounce out

290
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:09,760
Speaker 2: right to left, front to back, so quad to hamstring,

291
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 2: right leg, left leg, so we're looking to kind of

292
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 2: rebounce everything out, essentially pour the foundation. Then as we

293
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:17,720
Speaker 2: get into that that next four weeks we get into

294
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:19,920
Speaker 2: OTAs in a mini camp, that's when we'll get into

295
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:22,679
Speaker 2: our power phase, so the movements will become a lot

296
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:26,319
Speaker 2: more explosive, and then we'll it'll it'll shift from unilateral

297
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:29,720
Speaker 2: focus into bilateral so two hands, two arms or sorry

298
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:32,839
Speaker 2: to two legs barbed on the back, so much more

299
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:34,200
Speaker 2: compound explosive lifts.

300
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 3: So that's how it progress.

301
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:38,199
Speaker 2: Going through the spring with a break and then essentially

302
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:41,120
Speaker 2: we'll do a similar notion once we start training camp

303
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:43,760
Speaker 2: kind of rebounce the tires on these ferraris and and

304
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 2: trucks and then build the speed, build the power, and

305
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:49,520
Speaker 2: we just kind of we undulate through that throughout the

306
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:50,120
Speaker 2: entire year.

307
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 7: Scott.

308
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 6: Obviously, Daniel Pilotly is a big ball of clay. Has

309
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 6: the programming for him changed going from a tackle into.

310
00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:01,640
Speaker 2: Inside Yeah, yes, And the program is for him is, Yes,

311
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:03,760
Speaker 2: it's evolved, but it's it's always been the same. Daniel

312
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 2: is such a big, strong and mobile guy. So as

313
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:12,199
Speaker 2: we've worked with Big Dan, it's it's to get him

314
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 2: to unlock that that next level that he's got into

315
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:18,840
Speaker 2: dominating every time he steps out on the field. And

316
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:21,479
Speaker 2: what you guys saw it this year, having the opportunity

317
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 2: to start and play you know, all every every offensive

318
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:28,400
Speaker 2: series of every every game this year, you saw how

319
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:30,880
Speaker 2: much better he got so in the way when we're

320
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:34,400
Speaker 2: tailing his ability to do that from a physiological standpoint.

321
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:41,320
Speaker 1: Next up, we heard from veteran linebacker Rokwan Smith.

322
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:45,840
Speaker 4: At this state your career, what are you taking from

323
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:49,080
Speaker 4: when you come back phase one of all seas and workouts,

324
00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:49,480
Speaker 4: What's what's.

325
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:51,520
Speaker 5: Kind of your big takeaway from the States.

326
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 12: Yeah, honestly, I think first and foremost just like being

327
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 12: around the guys, guys who you truly care about, being

328
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:02,480
Speaker 12: being back around the game that you truly love, and

329
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:05,520
Speaker 12: obviously knowing that you know, things didn't go the way

330
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:07,520
Speaker 12: you wanted to go the last out and so it's

331
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:09,960
Speaker 12: about improving on that. And then you know, also coming

332
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 12: in and getting great work from.

333
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 5: Scott and his staff.

334
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:17,640
Speaker 12: You know, normally follow their plan anyway throughout the off season,

335
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 12: but it's pretty cool when you been able to get

336
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:22,080
Speaker 12: to work with the guys also out on the field.

337
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:25,040
Speaker 12: So it's just something that I enjoy to.

338
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 10: Help your off seasons evolved from you know, maybe your

339
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 10: first couple of years in the league too. Now, I mean,

340
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 10: do you feel like you just have a much better

341
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 10: idea of what you need to get done to be.

342
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:33,680
Speaker 4: Ready to play?

343
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:34,800
Speaker 5: Yeah? Absolutely.

344
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 12: I think experience is the best teacher in life, and

345
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:41,120
Speaker 12: I think, yeah, at this point in my career now

346
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:43,720
Speaker 12: it's kind of crazy, like thinking back, I still remember

347
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:47,040
Speaker 12: my first ota just a wide our rookie.

348
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:48,680
Speaker 5: In a sense, and you're just like saying, oh, what

349
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:49,440
Speaker 5: do I expect?

350
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:51,680
Speaker 12: How good of a shape should I be in in

351
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 12: April may like and things like that. But like now

352
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:55,960
Speaker 12: It's kind of like you've been through the fire, been

353
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:56,560
Speaker 12: through the ringer.

354
00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 5: You've gone through it.

355
00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:00,640
Speaker 12: So now it's just about Okay, making sure I got

356
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:03,960
Speaker 12: a great foundation, uh, and then just building on that

357
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:06,840
Speaker 12: foundation throughout the off season and then making sure you're

358
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:09,760
Speaker 12: ready to roll come training camp, but also knowing that

359
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:11,760
Speaker 12: that's a ramp up period as well before the season,

360
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:12,920
Speaker 12: because it's a long season.

361
00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:17,560
Speaker 1: Bro, what what do you look to accomplish during this

362
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 1: time that like along your kind of what you're you're

363
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 1: talking about that, like, what do you want to accomplish

364
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:22,840
Speaker 1: during this time of calendar?

365
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 12: I think there's a lot of things you can accomplish

366
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:28,560
Speaker 12: throughout this time and for myself personally throughout like this

367
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:32,280
Speaker 12: eight week program. Uh, you know, get stronger, getting better shape,

368
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:34,120
Speaker 12: create a better.

369
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:34,960
Speaker 5: Bond with my guys.

370
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:40,560
Speaker 12: Uh, just enjoy Maryland for what it's worth, and just

371
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:43,720
Speaker 12: be around the people, be around the building. Uh, enjoy

372
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:46,360
Speaker 12: all the free food uh stuff like that. So I

373
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:48,960
Speaker 12: would say a lot of those things and just happy

374
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:49,400
Speaker 12: to be here.

375
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:51,840
Speaker 8: Oh cool, And you talked about trying to work on

376
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:53,720
Speaker 8: getting that bad taste out of your mouth. How long

377
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 8: does it take to kind of turn the page from

378
00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:59,280
Speaker 8: how last year ended to move and looking forward to

379
00:16:59,320 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 8: what's next.

380
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 12: Yeah, absolutely, I think you just have to use the

381
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:06,359
Speaker 12: letdowns in a sense as a motivation and few for

382
00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:09,880
Speaker 12: your fire. And I think, honestly it's different for each

383
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:12,199
Speaker 12: and every person, But for myself, I would say, you know,

384
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:15,880
Speaker 12: there's a sour taste in your mouth until you're able

385
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:18,399
Speaker 12: to actually play another game, and like because you can

386
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:20,120
Speaker 12: go against your guys and things like that, but it's

387
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 12: different when you're actually trying to unleash on someone else

388
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:25,639
Speaker 12: in a sense. So I think it'll always be there

389
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:27,399
Speaker 12: and you just got to use it as fuel until

390
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:30,439
Speaker 12: we're able to line it up and scrap it up

391
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:31,600
Speaker 12: later in the year.

392
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:35,679
Speaker 13: How do you assess your season individually? Individually last year?

393
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:37,960
Speaker 13: What do you need to want to take from that? Say,

394
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:39,600
Speaker 13: all right, this is where I need to improve or

395
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:40,760
Speaker 13: that was that was great?

396
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:42,000
Speaker 14: What did you take away?

397
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:45,840
Speaker 12: Yeah, a lot of ups and down last season, first

398
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:50,600
Speaker 12: and foremost from the defense perspective. Didn't start the season

399
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:53,639
Speaker 12: the way we wanted to start, including myself, like with

400
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:55,840
Speaker 12: certain games and things of that nature. So like just

401
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:59,399
Speaker 12: having that motivation and knowing that you don't want the

402
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:02,240
Speaker 12: season something you're able to control to start out this way,

403
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:04,240
Speaker 12: and that's something that we all can control and build

404
00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 12: on right now in this moment. So it's about like

405
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:09,160
Speaker 12: doing that, making sure we're in the best possible shape,

406
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:12,240
Speaker 12: but also making we're making sure that we're mentally there

407
00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:14,639
Speaker 12: and ready to go through the ring or whatever the

408
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:15,159
Speaker 12: case may be.

409
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:16,880
Speaker 5: And just having a tighter bond.

410
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:19,399
Speaker 12: Even though it was really tight despite the adversity that

411
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:22,960
Speaker 12: we face throughout the season last year, not a single

412
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:25,160
Speaker 12: person you know, drop their head looked for a way out.

413
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:28,879
Speaker 12: So just like building building on that and just hitting

414
00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:32,359
Speaker 12: hitting the ground running and for myself, just like you know,

415
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:35,879
Speaker 12: improving just being better, Like yeah, all pros this that,

416
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:38,479
Speaker 12: all that stuff is fine, but it's about like you know,

417
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:41,640
Speaker 12: getting hardware and like that's something you accomplished as a team.

418
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:44,400
Speaker 12: So that's more of like what I want, like because

419
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:47,560
Speaker 12: all the individual accolades that stuff will come once you're

420
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:49,120
Speaker 12: successful as a team.

421
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:54,600
Speaker 11: How important is this time period in building chemistry and

422
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:55,520
Speaker 11: just be connecting.

423
00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:58,760
Speaker 12: Yeah, no, I think this time period is amazing for

424
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:02,000
Speaker 12: like actually in a better relationship with the guys and

425
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:04,840
Speaker 12: you know, going through the different workouts and things like that.

426
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:07,679
Speaker 12: You know when you see your guys tired next to you,

427
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 12: and you know you're tired as well. But it's about

428
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:12,440
Speaker 12: that's how you create that thick bond amongst each other,

429
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 12: just knowing, you know, we're going through the ringer together

430
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:17,520
Speaker 12: and it's not just a one sided thing, and it's

431
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:20,240
Speaker 12: about like, okay, if we're gonna truly be a brotherhood,

432
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:23,560
Speaker 12: it's about fighting through it together and overcoming it as well.

433
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:26,199
Speaker 15: It's just what message you think that sends that you

434
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:28,960
Speaker 15: being a VET and someone that's you know, far along.

435
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:29,960
Speaker 5: Into your career.

436
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:32,840
Speaker 15: That you're here during this optional period to get to

437
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:34,040
Speaker 15: work in with the guys what do you think that

438
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:35,200
Speaker 15: says to everybody here?

439
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:38,080
Speaker 12: Yeah, I'm not quite sure what that says to people.

440
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:40,720
Speaker 12: I just know it's more so about like how I

441
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:43,359
Speaker 12: feel and how I do my thing, and how I

442
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:46,680
Speaker 12: enjoy being here, enjoy working with the screen staff here,

443
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:49,639
Speaker 12: how I enjoy being around the guys here, and like

444
00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:52,720
Speaker 12: just being able to blessed enough to be on a

445
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:54,919
Speaker 12: team to be able to do something that I truly

446
00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:57,639
Speaker 12: love and like, when I think about it from that perspective,

447
00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:00,000
Speaker 12: that's more than enough like motivation for me to get

448
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:02,240
Speaker 12: my butt up and come up here. It's like, yeah,

449
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:04,240
Speaker 12: I can be doing a lot of different things, but

450
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:05,880
Speaker 12: at the end of the day, I still will be training.

451
00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:08,359
Speaker 12: Like it's awesome to be able to train here with

452

468
00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:56,040
Speaker 12: and doing more things to create a tighter bond. But

469
00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:58,840
Speaker 12: I think like the guy has all the athletic ability

470
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:01,680
Speaker 12: in the world, everything you want, and like I got

471
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:03,679
Speaker 12: great faith that he's gonna be able to put it,

472
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:06,360
Speaker 12: put it all together, and with the addition of all coach,

473
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:08,600
Speaker 12: I'm very excited about that as well. Trend is so

474
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:11,199
Speaker 12: it's gonna be awesome and we're excited to get to

475
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 12: work and you know what's gonna happen is gonna happen,

476
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:17,879
Speaker 12: but we know we're gonna prepare like every day is

477
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:20,560
Speaker 12: our last day. So that's the mindset and I'm very

478
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:22,160
Speaker 12: excited for him in his future though.

479
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:27,160
Speaker 8: This weekend it is said to be a very talented

480
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:29,400
Speaker 8: on the defensive side of the ball. Do you give

481
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:32,240
Speaker 8: your take your opinions on what you would like to

482
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:35,600
Speaker 8: see the organization do do they even asks your ideas.

483
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:38,400
Speaker 12: Like, you know, you'll see some guys, maybe some guys

484
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 12: from Georgia or you know, some guys that I may know.

485
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:46,000
Speaker 12: But if I'm being completely honest, like when I first

486
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:48,080
Speaker 12: came into the league, I was more so in tune

487
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:50,720
Speaker 12: with the draft and everything like that. But like if

488
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:54,439
Speaker 12: I'm being honest, like right now, like probably the top guys,

489
00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:58,320
Speaker 12: but like with no disrespect to anyone, I probably can't

490
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:01,840
Speaker 12: I probably can't tell you the backers how many backers

491
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:04,040
Speaker 12: like inside backers that are coming out this year if

492
00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:06,959
Speaker 12: I'm being perfectly honest, because like I don't really you know,

493
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:09,080
Speaker 12: during my I'll try to get away from the game

494
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:11,600
Speaker 12: in a sense I love the game, but it's also

495
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:13,920
Speaker 12: about getting away and then you know, when the guys

496
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 12: get here, that'll be my focus. Then then I'll like

497
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:19,560
Speaker 12: do my research and see what guy, what each and

498
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:20,439
Speaker 12: every guy's about.

499
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:23,600
Speaker 6: I think you were on the sideline for a couple

500
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:27,320
Speaker 6: of Georgia games this past year. One of those guys

501
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:29,600
Speaker 6: who's been linked to the Ravens is Malachi Stars. Did

502
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:31,920
Speaker 6: you get a sense for what he meant the culture

503
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:33,880
Speaker 6: there and stood to meet him or anything like that.

504
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:36,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think I met him, topped him up and

505
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:37,360
Speaker 5: everything like that.

506
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:39,480
Speaker 12: But you know, when those guys are, you know, right

507
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:41,800
Speaker 12: before going to going into a game and stuff, those

508
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:44,320
Speaker 12: guys are focused on what they're focused on, and that's

509
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:47,159
Speaker 12: like getting a w SO got a great deal of

510
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:48,840
Speaker 12: respect for him. I heard a lot of great things

511
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:54,520
Speaker 12: about him, like Georgia guy, like really really mature for

512
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:58,719
Speaker 12: his age, really good player. Also, I know Kirby Schuman,

513
00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:00,919
Speaker 12: all those guys have a great respect for him in

514
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:03,239
Speaker 12: the way he played a game of football, But like,

515
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:06,960
Speaker 12: I don't really know him personally. I've watched the games

516
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:10,600
Speaker 12: and stuff, how he always shows up on film. But yeah,

517
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:12,879
Speaker 12: so if he HEP does comes here, that'll be a

518
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:16,439
Speaker 12: great addition for us. But like you know, DC and

519
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:19,480
Speaker 12: those guys up there, man, they they know what they're doing,

520
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:21,960
Speaker 12: so I'm sure they're going to get the best possible

521
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:32,000
Speaker 12: fit for the team as well as person So yeah.

522
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:31,640
Speaker 1: Next up is safety Kyle Hamilton.

523
00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:37,720
Speaker 4: So what was the best thing you've done from you know,

524
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:39,840
Speaker 4: the end of the season to coming back to that.

525
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:44,280
Speaker 16: Went on a golf trip with me and three of

526
00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:48,880
Speaker 16: my high school buddies. Went out to Pebble Beach, played

527
00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:53,480
Speaker 16: Pebble Beach, Spyglass, Spanish Bay. He was able to play

528
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:58,879
Speaker 16: Cyprus past that. That was probably the best thing I've

529
00:23:58,880 --> 00:23:59,679
Speaker 16: done so far.

530
00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:01,760
Speaker 7: The goals?

531
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:04,280
Speaker 15: Is that the thing you didn't say that you're mar

532
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:05,040
Speaker 15: Oh yeah.

533
00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:06,639
Speaker 16: I mean I just went to i Guessa for the

534
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:08,960
Speaker 16: Masters too. I went on Friday and Sunday and that

535
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:11,240
Speaker 16: was my first time going, so it was pretty cool experience.

536
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:14,719
Speaker 13: Did Rory hitting it into the creek inspired maybe I

537
00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:15,880
Speaker 13: couldn't do this too.

538
00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:20,480
Speaker 16: Yeah, I was actually sitting on twelve when him and

539
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:22,399
Speaker 16: Bryson came up. So he saw Bryson go in the

540
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:28,520
Speaker 16: water on eleven and I was walking on thirteen and

541
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:30,760
Speaker 16: then saw Rory go in the water and that was

542
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:33,520
Speaker 16: I think that's the crazy part about golf, Like the

543
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:36,280
Speaker 16: leader sets the pace for everybody. So I mean once

544
00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:38,520
Speaker 16: he came back to the field, then they got really

545
00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:41,200
Speaker 16: really interesting after that. But you know, he got it done.

546
00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:44,520
Speaker 16: Career Grand Slam is pretty cool. What does Marlin have

547
00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:47,560
Speaker 16: to do to get there? Marlean's got to have a

548
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:50,919
Speaker 16: talk with God or something to get there. He you know,

549
00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:54,240
Speaker 16: he's gotten better. He's always blowing up our group chat

550
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:56,600
Speaker 16: about his golf swing and like how he can get

551
00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:58,119
Speaker 16: better and asking me for tips. I was like, I

552
00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:00,879
Speaker 16: don't know why you're asking me, Like I'm not the

553
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:01,960
Speaker 16: person you should be asking.

554
00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:03,800
Speaker 7: But he has gotten better.

555
00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:05,640
Speaker 16: He said he just broke one hundred for first time

556
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:08,880
Speaker 16: ninety nine, So I was like, you're one step close

557
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:09,360
Speaker 16: to the tour.

558
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:12,840
Speaker 6: Like defense with the second chattings are a golf cup chat.

559
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:17,800
Speaker 16: It's a Marlin, Tony Jefferson, Gino Stone group chat. So

560
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:20,160
Speaker 16: you know we were once Ravens, but we all got

561
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:21,280
Speaker 16: scattered all over the place.

562
00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:23,240
Speaker 7: But Tony's got the.

563
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:25,160
Speaker 16: Golf bug right now too, and Gino has been golfing

564
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:26,680
Speaker 16: for a while, so we just talk about it from

565
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:27,160
Speaker 16: time to time.

566
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:31,080
Speaker 4: Kyle, there's been a lot of talk about possible contract

567
00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:35,439
Speaker 4: extension for you. How much do you know about it?

568
00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:37,960
Speaker 4: Do you think it's something that could happen and you know,

569
00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:39,399
Speaker 4: over the course in the next few months.

570
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:41,880
Speaker 16: What do you kind of know about a contract EXTENTI yeah,

571
00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:44,720
Speaker 16: I mean obviously would be my first one, so not

572
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:48,400
Speaker 16: too much. But I haven't had too many talks about it,

573
00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:51,600
Speaker 16: to be honest. You know, they're busy draft stuff and

574
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:53,560
Speaker 16: all that stuff going on. I'm not in a big rush.

575
00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:57,240
Speaker 16: So if it happens, it happens, cool. And if it

576
00:25:57,280 --> 00:25:59,119
Speaker 16: happens to off season, cool too. But I'm not in

577
00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:00,960
Speaker 16: a rush too get it done necessarily.

578
00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:04,040
Speaker 15: Is that something you whatever happens, like, is that something

579
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:06,480
Speaker 15: you want to have kind of resolved one way or

580
00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:08,720
Speaker 15: the other, like before you get into the end of

581
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:09,159
Speaker 15: the season.

582
00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:11,119
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean I would, I would like to.

583
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:14,280
Speaker 16: I just I don't really like worry about outside stuff

584
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:18,080
Speaker 16: during the season. That's been since high school honestly, whatever

585
00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 16: it may be, and this is obviously a different beast,

586
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:23,600
Speaker 16: but yeah, I kind of just want to be able

587
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:25,879
Speaker 16: to play football and focus on that, and you know,

588
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:27,679
Speaker 16: if that stuff is going on during the season, then

589
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:29,960
Speaker 16: that's what I have agent's for, so they'll do a

590
00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:32,119
Speaker 16: good job with that. But you know, that's such a

591
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:34,760
Speaker 16: hypothetical at this point that I'll just cross that bridge

592
00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:35,320
Speaker 16: when I get there.

593
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:39,080
Speaker 14: How do you approach the off season now compared to

594
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:42,440
Speaker 14: maybe year one year to established you know you've had

595
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:43,439
Speaker 14: success in the league.

596
00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:46,680
Speaker 10: How do you view this time of year now compared

597
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:49,240
Speaker 10: to being a rookie year, second year.

598
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:55,399
Speaker 16: Sold Yeah, I don't think too much has changed. I mean,

599
00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:57,359
Speaker 16: rookie year, I went back to school, so that was different.

600
00:26:57,440 --> 00:27:00,800
Speaker 16: But you know, it's definitely poor to take some time

601
00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:03,320
Speaker 16: off and kind of let your mind and body decompressed

602
00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:06,560
Speaker 16: from the season, kind of just black out for six

603
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:11,800
Speaker 16: months there from July till January February, so you kind

604
00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:14,680
Speaker 16: of gotta chill a lot. I think that's a big

605
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:16,879
Speaker 16: thing for me, just be able to see people that

606
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:19,000
Speaker 16: I've grown up with and kind of connect with family

607
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:21,359
Speaker 16: and friends and stuff like that. It's huge for me

608
00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:24,640
Speaker 16: mentally be able to golf a little bit. But then

609
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:26,879
Speaker 16: you know, you for me, you're kind of sitting on

610
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:28,359
Speaker 16: the couch one day and you're getting that itch. You're

611
00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:31,000
Speaker 16: getting to go start working out and start getting back

612
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:33,160
Speaker 16: into it. And for me, that happened earlier this year.

613
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:35,200
Speaker 16: I just felt like I was more excited to get

614
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:37,960
Speaker 16: back to work, so didn't take too much time off

615
00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:41,359
Speaker 16: after the Bills game. But the philosophy I feel like

616
00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:42,920
Speaker 16: has been the same and we'll stay the same in

617
00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:45,520
Speaker 16: the future. I feel like it's kind of the same

618
00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:47,280
Speaker 16: for a lot of people in the league, just you know,

619
00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:50,520
Speaker 16: find your family again and just talk to people that

620
00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:52,160
Speaker 16: you haven't had time to during the season.

621
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:56,119
Speaker 13: Election of the way the season ended, wanting to get

622
00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:57,440
Speaker 13: back at back there sooner.

623
00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:00,800
Speaker 16: Yeah, I think a little bit that a little bit

624
00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:04,600
Speaker 16: of me maturing. You know, at this point in my career,

625
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:08,280
Speaker 16: I've had three years in now, and you know, every

626
00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:10,920
Speaker 16: off season, I feel like I've been more and more

627
00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:14,399
Speaker 16: wanting to get back to it, and I feel like

628
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:19,520
Speaker 16: I've started working out more quickly after the season has

629
00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:22,199
Speaker 16: ended each year. So who know, its maybe like year ten,

630
00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 16: we'll start working out the day after seasons over. But

631
00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:27,360
Speaker 16: but yeah, I feel like it's a little bit of that,

632
00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:29,080
Speaker 16: a little bit of sour tays, a little bit of just,

633
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:30,479
Speaker 16: you know, want to get back into it.

634
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 7: How soon did you get back into it though? How soon?

635
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:37,680
Speaker 16: Yeah, I'd probably say it was like two three weeks,

636
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:41,760
Speaker 16: And I mean it wasn't going crazy hard, but just

637
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:44,400
Speaker 16: getting my body back moving, thrown some weight around, stuff

638
00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:44,880
Speaker 16: like that.

639
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:48,520
Speaker 11: Performanshing, you know, the rough starts to last season.

640
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:50,560
Speaker 4: Have you guys this secondary.

641
00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:52,320
Speaker 11: Or see if you group you talked about how to

642
00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:53,920
Speaker 11: come back to start faster this year.

643
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:57,200
Speaker 16: Yeah, it's funny you say that talking about golf. I

644
00:28:57,200 --> 00:29:01,080
Speaker 16: was literally just thinking about this randomly. But I don't

645
00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:04,080
Speaker 16: know if you followed the Masters this year or golf

646
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:07,440
Speaker 16: in general, but the past two tournaments, if you guys

647
00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:11,120
Speaker 16: are want to listen to my soapbucks the Masters, Rory

648
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:13,600
Speaker 16: didn't have a great finish on Thursday, first day of

649
00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:16,280
Speaker 16: the tournament, and then had a really good Friday Saturday,

650
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:18,960
Speaker 16: put himself in the lead and kind of set the

651
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:22,520
Speaker 16: pace for Sunday. And you know, for him, obviously he's

652
00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:24,760
Speaker 16: one of the best players ever. But I feel like

653
00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:28,600
Speaker 16: it's kind of synonymous with our sport. You know, you

654
00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:30,760
Speaker 16: don't really want to compare yourself to others, but when

655
00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:32,120
Speaker 16: you put yourself behind the eight ball, and now you

656
00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:34,360
Speaker 16: got to kind of seehere everybody else is at and

657
00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:36,960
Speaker 16: know what you have to do to get get in

658
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:40,640
Speaker 16: the playoffs and ultimately win Super Bowl. And this past tournament,

659
00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:44,200
Speaker 16: Justin Thomas came out and tied the course record and

660
00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:46,680
Speaker 16: didn't play amazing the final three days, but ended up

661
00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:48,800
Speaker 16: winning the tournament. So you kind of put yourself in

662
00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:51,440
Speaker 16: an advantage if you start off hot, because I mean,

663
00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:53,720
Speaker 16: those games count for the same amount of wins and

664
00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:56,640
Speaker 16: losses at the end of the season. So last year

665
00:29:56,640 --> 00:29:58,480
Speaker 16: didn't get off to a great start. It's kind of

666
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:00,840
Speaker 16: behind the eight ball, but you know, we found our

667
00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:02,920
Speaker 16: way at the end of the season. But who knows

668
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:04,880
Speaker 16: if we Uh, Tyler's telling me to hurry up, So

669
00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:07,840
Speaker 16: who knows if we started off well, we would have

670
00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:09,200
Speaker 16: a chance with the one seed and stuff like that.

671
00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:11,440
Speaker 16: So it's important for us this year to kind of,

672
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:14,240
Speaker 16: you know, I think it's important that we've gone through

673
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:16,479
Speaker 16: that and understand how hard it is to climb out

674
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:18,560
Speaker 16: of that hole and how would change that this year.

675
00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:22,280
Speaker 11: Both coming up your name came up quite a bit

676
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:25,920
Speaker 11: at the combine among the safety groups as someone that

677
00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:29,560
Speaker 11: they emulated their game after someone that they watched. What

678
00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:33,200
Speaker 11: does it feel like knowing that you're pretty much becoming

679
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:35,240
Speaker 11: a prototype for guys coming behind you.

680
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:37,960
Speaker 7: It's kind of weird, honestly.

681
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:41,680
Speaker 16: I saw like a couple of clips of some guys

682
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:46,280
Speaker 16: at the combine saying that, and it's flattering. One and two,

683
00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:49,240
Speaker 16: I feel like it's happened so fast because I feel

684
00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:53,880
Speaker 16: like I'm rookie. Year was yesterday and for tap people

685
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:57,640
Speaker 16: saying that they whatever, maybe emulate their game or try

686
00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:00,440
Speaker 16: to pick my game. Apart to that, to their it's

687
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:03,440
Speaker 16: it's it's pretty cool to hear, and you know, just

688
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:06,360
Speaker 16: hopefully try to continue that trend, and not only just

689
00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:08,680
Speaker 16: football wise, but as a person too.

690
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:12,280
Speaker 1: Speaking of the drafts with either talk about it with

691
00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:15,000
Speaker 1: one of those safeties of the alongside next year, do

692
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:16,720
Speaker 1: you plan to watch the draft with your thought on adding,

693
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:19,160
Speaker 1: you know, another safety to play alongside you.

694
00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:20,160
Speaker 3: Uh?

695
00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:21,120
Speaker 7: I don't.

696
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:24,400
Speaker 16: I don't plan on watching every pick. It will probably

697
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:26,200
Speaker 16: be on I'm not gonna be like actively watching. Maybe

698
00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:29,480
Speaker 16: I'll watching the Ravens pick, but uh, I don't really

699
00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:32,480
Speaker 16: have a huge preference on who they pick or where.

700
00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:35,000
Speaker 16: You know, they have done a great job before I

701
00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:38,520
Speaker 16: was even born. So I'm gonna let them handle that

702
00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:42,320
Speaker 16: and I'm gonna play football and do my job. Uh

703
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:45,160
Speaker 16: probably be with my friend Nick Jackson who plays for

704
00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:49,160
Speaker 16: or played for Iowa. Howe had a really good protest,

705
00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:53,760
Speaker 16: so he'll probably be with him around that weekend. But yeah,

706
00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:56,320
Speaker 16: I'm not gonna be uh up tweeting about it. Probably

707
00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:58,120
Speaker 16: I would be a preference.

708
00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:00,520
Speaker 10: I mean, we all made a big deal out how

709
00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:03,120
Speaker 10: you know your role shifted midway through the season.

710
00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:05,040
Speaker 14: If you weren't, you know you took it as no

711
00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:05,440
Speaker 14: big deal.

712
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:06,880
Speaker 10: You played plenty of deep safety before.

713
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:09,600
Speaker 14: But all things being each year, do you have a

714
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:12,360
Speaker 14: preferences whether you stay in that kind of a role

715
00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:14,920
Speaker 14: or going back to much more of the hybrid play,

716
00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:17,440
Speaker 14: more nickel play, you know, much more of a Swiss

717
00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:18,240
Speaker 14: army knife stories.

718
00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:20,760
Speaker 16: Yeah, I mean I've gotten that question a lot, and

719
00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:23,200
Speaker 16: my answer has been the same every time. I really

720
00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:27,160
Speaker 16: don't care, like at all, whether it's game to game

721
00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:30,280
Speaker 16: or drive to drive, play to play, whatever it needs

722
00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:32,320
Speaker 16: to be, I'm more than happy to do it. And

723
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:35,200
Speaker 16: I feel like I'm more than capable of getting the

724
00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:39,160
Speaker 16: job done. So I appreciate the coaches and the staff

725
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:42,920
Speaker 16: for and trust me with all that responsibility and try

726
00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:44,800
Speaker 16: to do my best with it and do as well

727
00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:47,600
Speaker 16: as I can at all those positions. But it really

728
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:49,080
Speaker 16: doesn't make a difference to me, and I'm just trying

729
00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:53,520
Speaker 16: to go out there and make football plays.

730
00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:58,680
Speaker 1: Next up is center Tyler Linderbaum.

731
00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:01,160
Speaker 4: So for this all season, do you feel like it

732
00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:05,440
Speaker 4: went faster slower than last year? Just comparatively, you know,

733
00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:07,800
Speaker 4: from last game to hear how do you think the

734
00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:08,720
Speaker 4: off season went for you?

735
00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:12,680
Speaker 7: Yeah, I feel like it flew by. I trained here

736
00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:16,640
Speaker 7: this off season, so yeah, before you know it, now

737
00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:19,880
Speaker 7: we're starting off season. So I'm excited. It's always fun

738
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:22,560
Speaker 7: getting back, you know, seeing all the guys got to

739
00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:25,080
Speaker 7: go work out in today. So it's got to keep

740
00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:27,600
Speaker 7: stacking build off for next season.

741
00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:31,680
Speaker 10: Tyler, after last offseason, there's so many changes on the

742
00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:35,280
Speaker 10: offensive line, How happy even if McCarry left, but to

743
00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:37,480
Speaker 10: keep Ronnie Stanley, you know, knowing how important he is

744
00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:38,040
Speaker 10: a left.

745
00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:39,960
Speaker 14: Tackle, How how good was that for you to see that,

746
00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:42,520
Speaker 14: knowing it wasn't gonna be another off season where it

747
00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:43,720
Speaker 14: was so much turnings.

748
00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:46,800
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean it's awesome to have a a Ronnie Back,

749

Speaker 7: can get back, I feel like, the better it's going

755

Speaker 7: to be. Obviously the be pieces that we add, but

756

Speaker 7: I guess honest, I'm really not even focus on that

775
00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:04,719
Speaker 7: right now. No, That's that's why we have agents agents,

776
00:35:05,160 --> 00:35:07,360
Speaker 7: you know, Neil Cornwich will handle that all for me.

777
00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:09,600
Speaker 7: And like I said, I'm giving my all to the

778
00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:11,360
Speaker 7: team right now and that's my focus and that's how

779
00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:11,840
Speaker 7: it should be.

780
00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:16,200
Speaker 13: You guys have been close throughout your time here, not

781
00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:17,680
Speaker 13: quite any of the hump where you want to get

782
00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:20,319
Speaker 13: to in the Super Bowls. After some reflection, what do

783
00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:23,480
Speaker 13: you Is there anything your pinpoint? You're like, that's what's

784
00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:25,160
Speaker 13: keeping us from getting where.

785
00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:27,839
Speaker 7: We want to go? Yeah, I mean, you know there's

786
00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:29,279
Speaker 7: a there's a lot of things though that we can

787
00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:32,880
Speaker 7: get better as a team collectively. At the end of

788
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:35,000
Speaker 7: the day, when it comes down to it and we're

789
00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:37,680
Speaker 7: in these big games in those situations, you know, we

790
00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:40,960
Speaker 7: got to be playing our best football. You and obviously

791
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:43,120
Speaker 7: I don't. I don't think we did that against against

792
00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:46,640
Speaker 7: the Bills, just you know, costly turnovers. But at the

793
00:35:46,680 --> 00:35:47,920
Speaker 7: end of the at the end of the day. You know,

794
00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:50,200
Speaker 7: we're right there towards the end of the game to

795
00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:53,160
Speaker 7: where we have a chance. So you just got to

796
00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:55,279
Speaker 7: build off of that, you know, get over that hump

797
00:35:55,320 --> 00:35:58,480
Speaker 7: and you know, confident with the group that we have,

798
00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:01,160
Speaker 7: the guys that we have on this team, and I'm

799
00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:02,239
Speaker 7: excited to build off of that.

800
00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:04,319
Speaker 5: Is it emotional for you a little bit and knowing

801
00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:08,080
Speaker 5: how close you've become when Patrick signed elsewhere and you

802
00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:09,880
Speaker 5: realize who's no longer going to be back in your

803
00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:10,840
Speaker 5: locker mate?

804
00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:14,560
Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, I'm excited for him. Obviously, it's gonna

805
00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:16,719
Speaker 7: be a little different without him. He's helped me tremendously,

806
00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:20,799
Speaker 7: uh you know, my first three years. But I know

807
00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:22,919
Speaker 7: he's going to kill it down there. So super happy

808
00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:23,520
Speaker 7: for him.

809
00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:26,279
Speaker 6: You know, I know most off at the line and

810
00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:28,960
Speaker 6: by nature are pretty humble, but is there any kind

811
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:32,359
Speaker 6: of new pride to seeing how many teams want to

812
00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:34,200
Speaker 6: do what you guys have done with the Eagles have

813
00:36:34,239 --> 00:36:36,160
Speaker 6: done in his best offensive lines, that you kind of

814
00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:39,680
Speaker 6: have that foundation for the championship level offense defense?

815
00:36:40,280 --> 00:36:43,080
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean, I think you know, games are one

816
00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:47,239
Speaker 7: in the trenches. I think no defense and offensive side

817
00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:49,000
Speaker 7: of ball. You have have to have really good players

818
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:51,960
Speaker 7: and you have to play at a high level. You know,

819
00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:53,920
Speaker 7: So in the Super Bowl, two really good old lines

820
00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:57,480
Speaker 7: and D Line's going at it. At the end of

821
00:36:57,480 --> 00:36:59,840
Speaker 7: the day, it's a it's a it's a tough position.

822
00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:03,120
Speaker 7: You gotta do everything possible to be elite at that position.

823
00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:07,279
Speaker 7: You gotta be obsessed, obsessed with getting better, and that's

824
00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:10,440
Speaker 7: what makes a position so fun. So you know, I

825
00:37:10,520 --> 00:37:13,560
Speaker 7: think it's it's not an easy position. It's something that

826
00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:15,960
Speaker 7: has to be worked on. And you know, there the

827
00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:17,560
Speaker 7: lead players that you can have a position, I think,

828
00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:20,720
Speaker 7: the better your team's going to be the key parts

829
00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:22,399
Speaker 7: of fresh Have you in.

830
00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:24,720
Speaker 8: The other linement been following the debate at all season?

831
00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:29,760
Speaker 7: Is there a debate or some people are trying to honest?

832
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:32,279
Speaker 7: I mean I love the I love the play. I'm

833
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:38,719
Speaker 7: sure defenses don't. But you know, anytime you know you

834
00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:41,600
Speaker 7: can excel and have a high percentage on short yardage

835
00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:43,239
Speaker 7: and if that's the play that you go to, then

836
00:37:44,280 --> 00:37:45,319
Speaker 7: you know, I enjoy the play.

837
00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:49,560
Speaker 8: So you guys were last offseason, you guys had to

838
00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:52,120
Speaker 8: replace three starters along the offensive line. This year, it

839
00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:56,680
Speaker 8: seems like only one What's how important is that continuity

840
00:37:56,840 --> 00:37:59,520
Speaker 8: along the offensive line to be able to stick with

841
00:37:59,840 --> 00:38:01,600
Speaker 8: the same five guys.

842
00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:03,879
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think it's big. I think whoever's in there

843
00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:06,600
Speaker 7: has to play, you know, no matter what, we're expecting

844
00:38:06,600 --> 00:38:09,600
Speaker 7: to play at a high level. You know. Obviously, having

845
00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:12,879
Speaker 7: Roger step in and you know, play at a high

846
00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:14,879
Speaker 7: level like he did last year was was super big

847
00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:17,520
Speaker 7: for us, especially being a rookie. That's not an easy

848
00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:20,640
Speaker 7: thing to do, especially the guys in our division. I'm

849
00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:24,000
Speaker 7: super proud of him. And you know, obviously those guys

850
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:26,160
Speaker 7: who you know, played their first year, we got to

851
00:38:26,239 --> 00:38:28,319
Speaker 7: expect another big jump. And the guys you know who

852
00:38:28,360 --> 00:38:31,560
Speaker 7: have been playing have to take another step. You know,

853
00:38:31,640 --> 00:38:34,680
Speaker 7: anytime you can get more reps together, I think the more,

854
00:38:35,120 --> 00:38:37,600
Speaker 7: the better you better off you're going to be. But

855
00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:38,920
Speaker 7: at the end of the day, the five guys that

856
00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:40,839
Speaker 7: are out there have to be playing at a high

857
00:38:40,880 --> 00:38:43,239
Speaker 7: level to you know, make make things to go.

858
00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:45,960
Speaker 15: Speaking of you know, guys taking steps, what did you

859
00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:48,800
Speaker 15: see from injury before he's last year and uh out

860
00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:51,719
Speaker 15: injury early and then in a hat stepped in. What

861
00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:54,120
Speaker 15: did you see from him last year and what are

862
00:38:54,120 --> 00:38:56,560
Speaker 15: the conversations been in turns of him, you know, you know,

863
00:38:56,680 --> 00:38:58,840
Speaker 15: being in that mix to start there next to.

864
00:38:58,840 --> 00:39:01,160
Speaker 7: You and left that. Yeah, you know, Andrew's a starting

865
00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:05,160
Speaker 7: caliber player. Obviously. The thing with him just obviously coming

866
00:39:05,160 --> 00:39:07,880
Speaker 7: off the knee injury. I think OTA's last year was

867
00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:10,880
Speaker 7: the first reps he's gotten in like two years, so

868
00:39:11,640 --> 00:39:13,640
Speaker 7: he's just making jumps and jumps each and every day.

869
00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:16,120
Speaker 7: I thought he played at a high level for the

870
00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:17,880
Speaker 7: games that he was in, and then obviously doing with

871
00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:22,239
Speaker 7: the ankle injury was unfortunate. I know, he's another guy

872
00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:24,600
Speaker 7: that you know, have ut most confidence and when he

873
00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:25,880
Speaker 7: steps in there that he's going to play at a

874
00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:26,279
Speaker 7: high level.

875
00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:31,880
