35
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:21,039
Speaker 3: I can so ooh. So we got a twelve kids

36
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 3: in our family. We've got a bunch of marriages, now,

37
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:27,560
Speaker 3: kids are coming out, boyfriend's girlfriends, some really good family

38
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:30,679
Speaker 3: friends that come every year, and you've got about anywhere

39
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 3: from twenty five to forty people.

40
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:34,040
Speaker 2: We draft teams.

41
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 3: Whoever scored the most points last year gets to be

42
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:38,760
Speaker 3: captains that year. This year we did three teams, so

43
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 3: it was me my brother Christian. I scored the most

44
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:43,960
Speaker 3: points last year, so I was first captains. Can let's

45
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 3: go come on? My brother Christian scored the second most

46
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 3: he plays with the Patriots, and my brother Jona, who

47
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 3: plays for the Broncos, scored the third most. All of

48
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 3: us are married or engaged to former D one athletes,

49
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 3: so we've got a little squad and we drafted our

50
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 3: teams and we went at it.

51
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 2: It was a tough year.

52
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 3: My beautiful wife tore her a cl it was getting

53
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 3: surgery right now. She was dominating the competition in dodgeball. No,

54
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:13,640
Speaker 3: but we were playing very bad on even grass. Won't

55
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 3: do that again. So she's getting surgery right now.

56
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 1: Actually, is she gonna make it back for camp next year?

57
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 2: She will be, she said she is.

58
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:26,800
Speaker 3: She will never do athletic games at dodgeball again from her. So,

59
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:29,640
Speaker 3: but it ended in a thirty three thirty three thirty

60
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 3: two tie, and there was, you know, a lot of

61
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 3: deliberation about tie breakers, but it got a little heated

62
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:38,800
Speaker 3: this year, and so all things considered, we decided to

63
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:40,799
Speaker 3: call it a draw and we'll run it back next year.

64
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:43,079
Speaker 1: You couldn't You couldn't even give your wife the edge.

65
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:45,799
Speaker 1: She's given body parts out here for this.

66
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:47,799
Speaker 2: You know that was up to the other two captains.

67
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 2: They won't give me anything.

68
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:49,919
Speaker 1: So wow, Wow.

69
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:51,640
Speaker 3: All I gotta say is my team won by like

70
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:54,960
Speaker 3: fifteen points all of the years. But this year my

71
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:58,519
Speaker 3: sister brought one of my sisters brought a camera and

72
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:01,799
Speaker 3: it was for like family memories. But that quickly became

73
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:07,239
Speaker 3: used as footage for instant replay. I'm talking like, let's

74
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 3: walking off the court after winning dodge ball, after my

75
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:12,640
Speaker 3: wife got hurt. We won, We're walking to our escape

76
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:14,640
Speaker 3: room and they're like, no, look he was out of bounds.

77
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 3: So those things like that. So my team took the

78
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 3: high road.

79
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:20,239
Speaker 1: We won.

80
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 2: Christian Johann to hear that, but it ended in drawing technically.

81
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 1: So you're definitely just like, let's get technology out of

82
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:28,239
Speaker 1: the game. We need to rely on more.

83
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 3: NF The NFL, with billions of dollars, can't get instant

84
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 3: replay correct. So we are not going to start doing

85
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 3: that with our cheap fifty dollars Walmart camp for our

86
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 3: little Cody camera. That's amazing, it's trash. We're not doing that.

87
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 3: So that that rule has been setting stone. There will

88
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 3: never be instant replay again.

89
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 1: Okay, So what's what's your what's your best family Olympic sport?

90
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 2: What's your I'm the best st at Yeah, all of them,

91
00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 2: all of it.

92
00:03:58,160 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 5: Do your favorite? Which one is your favorite?

93
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 3: Mmm?

94
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 2: I think we always do like Cornholme botch ball at

95
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 2: the same time, And that was.

96
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 1: A lot of fun because the same time.

97
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 3: So yeah, so it's kind of you got two corn

98
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 3: holes and the same time, and that one's fun because

99
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 3: it's relaxed. It's not very like there's not a lot

100
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 3: of fights in that. But all the team games are fun.

101
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 3: To one that we did was a lot of fun.

102
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:24,920
Speaker 3: We did ultimate football, so you play ultimate frisbee with

103
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:27,599
Speaker 3: the football, and that one's a lot of fun. There's

104
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 3: there's been some heavy arguments, some trucks, some things that

105
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 3: the reason it is no longer allowed in Family Olympics,

106
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:36,360
Speaker 3: but that that was a lot of fun.

107
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:40,040
Speaker 1: Have you seen top Gun, Maverick? This is totally all right.

108
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 1: So you know the football game that they play on

Speaker 1: football or something.

111
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 2: Probably very similar. You're doing that. It's ultimate frisbee football

112
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:51,360
Speaker 2: played football.

113
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:52,479
Speaker 5: Wow.

114
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:54,920
Speaker 4: I did not know that this conversation was going to

115
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 4: divulge into like this bigger conversation of competition and injuries.

116
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:02,360
Speaker 4: I when when we kind of talk about family time,

117
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 4: we always think it's like very.

118
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 3: No, there was there was this this Every year there's

119
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:10,159
Speaker 3: at least one massive blow up. This was it, and

120
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 3: there was there was instant replaying Apple.

121
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 2: Bobbing no way. Yeah, yeah, guys, there was some tough stuff.

122
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 5: This is fun.

123
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 4: Okay, we need to talk about like actual also, shout

124
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 4: out to your wife.

125
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:24,600
Speaker 2: Shout out to Brook. Do you keep a safement?

126
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 4: Oh?

127
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 3: Man?

128
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,599
Speaker 1: Does? I guess indicative of like how hard you guys go.

129
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 1: So it is and I'll bet that she was like

130
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 1: going as hard as anybody.

131
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:37,799
Speaker 2: She was. She was dominating.

132
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 1: Okay, So well, we wish her a very speedy recovery.

133
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:44,279
Speaker 1: Of course, somebody who looks like he's doing really well

134
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 1: in his recovery, Grady Jarrett, kind of what what's it

135
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 1: meant to get him back out there and in kind

136
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 1: of the middle of that defensive front.

137
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 3: Just breaks havoc, you know what I mean. So to

138
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 3: have him out there, it's just it changes the front.

139
00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 3: It changes and you went in the front. So once

140
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 3: you change the front, you can dominate that. Everything else

141
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 3: gets easier as it goes back. So having him up

142
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:10,040
Speaker 3: there is awesome. That's just talking about football technique and strength.

143
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:11,720
Speaker 3: When I get into who he is as a person

144
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 3: and what he means to the team in the defense

145
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 3: when he's on the field, So having him back is

146
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 3: a blessing.

147
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:20,920
Speaker 4: Let's talk a little bit about your room, because we

148
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:25,840
Speaker 4: have spoken ad nauseum about you, Nate, and Troy and

149
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 4: j D now.

150
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 5: Of course too.

151
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:32,799
Speaker 4: I'm really curious, when you break apart y'all's skill sets,

152
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 4: how do you view each guy's role in having this

153
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 4: kind of like role clarity and what y'all are being

154
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 4: asked to do.

155
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, So the role clarity I think will continue to

156
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:44,920
Speaker 3: get to fined as plays are made and plays are

157
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:47,160
Speaker 3: not made by people all across the defense. Because I

158
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:49,159
Speaker 3: think the perk of having the linebacker room that we

159
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:50,720
Speaker 3: do right now, with the depth that we do right

160
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 3: now and the different skill sets that each guy has,

161
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 3: it allows us to I mean, really, we can fill

162
00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 3: voids anywhere on the defense besides maybe true corner, you

163
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:01,039
Speaker 3: know what I'm saying.

164
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:09,159
Speaker 2: I mean, maybe Troy can get out there. I don't know, but.

165
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 1: Jam him at the line.

166
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 2: They might not want to milk check Troy, you know

167
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 2: what I mean. It will be good.

168
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 3: So I think that's just something that as camp continues

169
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 3: to go, and you know, different positions make different plays,

170
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 3: different guys make different plays. I think what we'll be

171
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:26,480
Speaker 3: able to do in that linebacker room is allow the

172
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 3: coaches to just put the best players and the playmakers

173
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 3: on the field in whatever role that's going to be,

174
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:36,680
Speaker 3: and hopefully, uh, you know, we can get three linebackers

175
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 3: out at the same time and all the time, and

176
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 3: I'll play d end, outside linebacker, Mike Jack Dyme, I'll

177
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 3: play any of it. So I just I hope that

178
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 3: we can just do that because there's a lot of

179
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 3: talent in that room.

180
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 2: Bustiness is gonna come down to making plays camp.

181
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 1: I'm curious, like because we were talking about our tonate

182
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 1: about this kind of same thing, and you guys all

183
00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:00,120
Speaker 1: have that versatility to your game. But when you and

184
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 1: you and Troy and Nate look at each other in

185
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 1: your mind, do you have Hey, I know that Nate

186
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 1: of the three of us, like this is his thing,

187
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 1: and they know Cayden this is his thing, and Troy

188
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 1: this is his thing. Do y'all each have that like, yeah,

189
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 1: we can do a little bit of everything, but like

190
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 1: this is the go to guy for pass rushing or

191
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 1: for coverage or for diagnosing pre snap reads. Like do

192
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 1: y'all have that view of each other?

193
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 5: Yeah?

194
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 3: I wouldn't say there's I'd say you look at each

195
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:31,400
Speaker 3: guy and you can say Wow, like, you're really talented

196
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:33,840
Speaker 3: at this. But it's not to say necessarily that someone

197
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:36,079
Speaker 3: else in the room doesn't have that trait as well.

198
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:39,280
Speaker 3: You look at Troy and you see his burst, his

199
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 3: straight line speed that can catch pretty much any route

200
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 3: anybody can throw. Once he decides to go, he's running

201
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 3: probably faster than most of the guys on offense, So

202
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:49,720
Speaker 3: obviously him and coveraging that aspect.

203
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:51,960
Speaker 2: You love that because he has not.

204
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 3: Only can you play great technique, can you go do

205
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 3: everything else at the point with jamming someone or playing

206
00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:59,679
Speaker 3: with good technique and his step and replace whatever is

207
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:03,320
Speaker 3: dropped maybe, but when he decides to go, it's he's going.

208
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:04,560
Speaker 2: He's fast, it's speed.

209
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 3: So you love that trait, Nate, you look at him,

210
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:09,560
Speaker 3: and again it's not to say that any of these

211
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 3: players can't do any other things, but you see his

212
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 3: just football instinct and I think maybe the best, my favorite,

213
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:20,560
Speaker 3: you know, plays that he made last year that pointed

214
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 3: to that wasn't diagnosing stuff, wasn't he that was punching

215
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:26,120
Speaker 3: the ball out because he sees the opportunity to do that,

216
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 3: and he's such a confident tackler that he when he

217
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 3: gets to the point of tackle. He's not thinking about

218
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:33,040
Speaker 3: I got to get this guy down. He's thinking about,

219
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 3: all right, do I have an opportunity here to get

220
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 3: the ball out while I get him down?

221
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:38,200
Speaker 1: How quick does that happen? In your mind? Is it

222
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:39,960
Speaker 1: literally just like you have Maybe.

223
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 2: I think, yeah, I don't.

224
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 3: You don't I say the word think you don't think

225
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:45,080
Speaker 3: It's just a reaction, okay, And if you're thinking about it,

226
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 3: you're not going to do it very well, right, you

227
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:48,960
Speaker 3: know what I'm saying. So, you know, out of all,

228
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:50,840
Speaker 3: out of all his skill sets, is probably my favorite

229
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:53,720
Speaker 3: about his and then me, you know, I prot myself

230
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 3: from being able to do anything. But probably you'd say,

231
00:09:57,600 --> 00:09:59,679
Speaker 3: you know, get him up there and pass rushing, that's

232
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 3: probably what you'd go to.

233
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:05,600
Speaker 4: So, I mean, I know that is something that I mean,

234
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:08,080
Speaker 4: even going back when you first signed here and I

235
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:11,319
Speaker 4: was watching film from when you're with the Saints and

236
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:13,560
Speaker 4: kind of the way that they used you up on

237
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:15,960
Speaker 4: the line and in pass rushing, and it felt like

238
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:18,440
Speaker 4: there was kind of these different layers to what you

239
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 4: were able to do with them, and then last year

240
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:24,720
Speaker 4: kind of playing more of a full scope role to

241
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 4: a certain extent, and I honestly think that because of

242
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:31,200
Speaker 4: the nature of what happened with Troy and Nate coming in,

243
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:35,360
Speaker 4: that things probably changed and evolved. So now with this

244
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:38,560
Speaker 4: new staff coming in and Troy's back one hundred percent,

245
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:42,559
Speaker 4: Nate has a wealth of experience kind of on his shoulders. Now,

246
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 4: how does that free you up to kind.

247
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 5: Of do some different things?

248
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:48,439
Speaker 4: And how excited are you to be able to tap

249
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 4: into to that part of yourself as well?

250
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:53,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, if I could pass rush every second

251
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 3: along and third down, I'd love to.

252
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:55,959
Speaker 2: That's that's what I would do.

253
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 3: I said, let me play the run first and second,

254
00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 3: you know, make some good coverage adjustments, and then when

255
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 3: it gets.

256
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 2: To pass the situation, let me let me rush. Yeah.

257
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:04,320
Speaker 3: But again, I think it goes back to what I

258
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 3: was saying earlier, where hopefully we can just give the

259
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 3: coaches the opportunity to say, all right, how do we

260
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 3: get the best players in the field in this situation,

261
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:12,719
Speaker 3: in this situation, in this situation, whatever that may be.

262
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:15,320
Speaker 3: So I think that's all we can really think about.

263
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 3: You know, you can't really think about you know, Choice

264
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 3: and Nate are good at this, so I should be

265
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:20,600
Speaker 3: able to do this now. It's just kind of let's

266
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:23,319
Speaker 3: go out, let's make plays, Let's have fun every single day.

267
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:26,320
Speaker 3: Let's love the opportunity to compete against our offense, compete

268
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 3: against the other positions, and compete against each other. And

269
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 3: I think if we go out and we make the

270
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 3: plays that each of us are capable of making, that

271
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 3: will you know, our coaches are pretty special and I

272
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 3: think the find ways to get us on the field.

273
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 1: You spent the entirety of your career in Ryan Nielsen defense.

274
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:45,440
Speaker 1: This is the first time that you've kind of experienced

275
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 1: something different. What has that been like for you? Is

276
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:51,680
Speaker 1: it have they adjusted to you and your skill set

277
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:53,320
Speaker 1: as much as coaches like to say that it's all

278
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:55,840
Speaker 1: about personnel, or have you found yourself kind of having

279
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:57,400
Speaker 1: to learn some new things and be put in some

280
00:11:57,440 --> 00:11:58,200
Speaker 1: new situations.

281
00:11:58,320 --> 00:11:59,720
Speaker 3: I think it's a little bit of both, and there's

282
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 3: a blend. And there's some things that I do naturally

283
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:06,480
Speaker 3: and that I've just seen work in the NFL, and

284
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:08,560
Speaker 3: coaches have noticed a few things, and there's a lot

285
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:11,600
Speaker 3: of things that they've taught me where it's I've said

286
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 3: this a few times a couple different interviews. Different ways

287
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:15,360
Speaker 3: to skin a cat in the NFL, you see the

288
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 3: same problems with multiple offenses all throughout the league, and

289
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 3: how do we as a defense, how does this staff

290
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:27,440
Speaker 3: decide to tackle those issues. I've been tackling them one

291
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:31,199
Speaker 3: way for you know, five years. Not to say we

292
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 3: didn't make changes, you did, but at the end of

293
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:34,440
Speaker 3: the day, it was it was all within the same

294
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 3: scope of the defense. And now I'm getting to see

295
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:38,959
Speaker 3: new ways to do some of the same things and

296
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:42,000
Speaker 3: you know, tackle some of the same issues. And it's

297
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 3: been an awesome opportunity for me to learn and grow

298
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:47,319
Speaker 3: as a player. And I'm really thankful for Jimmy and

299
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:50,080
Speaker 3: Raw and Rude and the other guys that are poorn

300
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 3: into me so I can learn those things.

301
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 1: I know you don't know any any different, but do

302
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:56,160
Speaker 1: you think this is kind of the right time in

303
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:58,760
Speaker 1: your career to maybe experience a change like this, Like

304
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:01,959
Speaker 1: you've you've gotten four or five years of like now

305
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:04,480
Speaker 1: I know this defense like backwards and forwards as well

306
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 1: as I can, and now I'm hearing totally new voices

307
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:09,760
Speaker 1: and new opinions. Like is five years in like a

308
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:11,440
Speaker 1: good time you think for that transition?

309
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:12,320
Speaker 2: I think it is.

310
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:16,079
Speaker 3: You know, if you Patch, Mahmes and any red you

311
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 3: can stay together their whole career. I'm sure they will

312
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:21,240
Speaker 3: develop and grow things together in wonderful ways. But at

313
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:25,520
Speaker 3: the same time, you it's it's nice again to see

314
00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:29,040
Speaker 3: other ways that people do it, because it's just you know, yeah,

315
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:33,679
Speaker 3: you're five. I think there's always as a as a player,

316
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:37,040
Speaker 3: you never want a plateau. Yeah, and hopefully you can.

317
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:39,480
Speaker 3: You know, the good ones will find ways, whether in

318
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:42,119
Speaker 3: the same system or ten different ones, to continue to grow.

319
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 3: But I think it is a forced jump start to

320
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 3: continue growing as a player.

321
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:51,560
Speaker 4: I'm curious from a communication standpoint. You know, we see

322
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 4: you kind of calling the defense a little bit, we

323
00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:54,839
Speaker 4: see Nate kind of calling the defense a little bit.

324
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 5: How do you to a certain extent make sure that

325
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:00,679
Speaker 5: there aren't like too many cooks in the kid? Does

326
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:01,360
Speaker 5: that make sense?

327
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think. I think during like camp and stuff,

328
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 3: it's just we've got to go out there and get.

329
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:07,960
Speaker 2: The play called. Let's go.

330
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:12,599
Speaker 3: When the time comes, I mean again, that'll be a

331
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 3: no decision the coaches make and how they want to

332
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:17,680
Speaker 3: break up playing time and all those things. But I

333
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:20,240
Speaker 3: think right now it's probably I don't think it matters.

334
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 5: It doesn't matter.

335
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:22,880
Speaker 4: Okay, that makes sense, because I mean that's always something

336
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 4: that I'm curious about, Like, Okay, if there's one person

337
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:28,360
Speaker 4: whose voice and cadence that you're kind of in the

338
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 4: back of your head thinking about.

339
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:33,160
Speaker 5: Like does it does it matter? Does that stuff matter

340
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:33,680
Speaker 5: right now?

341
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:35,640
Speaker 3: I say, you know, maybe on offense, because again that's

342
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 3: the true right thing. But for the for us, it's

343
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:41,440
Speaker 3: kind of like certain guys making check on defense if

344
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 3: you're playing correctly, everybody's talking, everybody's saying thing, everybody's giving alerts,

345
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 3: everybody's you know, Jesse's in the backs talking, aj is

346
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:51,240
Speaker 3: given an alert from an X split, the D line

347
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 3: shifting and motioning. Big O's keeping his head up and

348
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:55,040
Speaker 3: looking at all sorts of things, whether the Titan's going

349
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 3: to swap. And I think, if you're a good defense,

350
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:01,480
Speaker 3: you really truly have that twelfth man, and whereas on offense,

351
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:03,320
Speaker 3: you really like to hear that quarterback one.

352
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:04,120
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying.

353
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 3: Sometimes the center makes a point, but even then it's like,

354
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 3: how often was Peyton manning center calling out the protection.

355
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 3: I don't know that, but I'm sure Peyton had some

356
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:14,720
Speaker 3: pretty strong opinions on where he wanted protection going and

357
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:17,960
Speaker 3: things like that. So I say, it's a little different

358
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:19,040
Speaker 3: in that sense, you know what I'm saying.

359
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:21,360
Speaker 4: No, that makes sense, and that's great to know because

360
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:23,040
Speaker 4: sometimes I think we can get too caught up in

361
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:26,000
Speaker 4: certain things and how things look and sound and everything.

362
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 5: And sometimes it's just nice to hear that kind of

363
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:28,960
Speaker 5: stuff a little fun.

364
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:32,960
Speaker 4: So I've talked to Barrett like a number of times

365
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:35,640
Speaker 4: about y'all's room, and every time he says kind of

366
00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 4: the same thing about how it's basically like you'll talk

367
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 4: about your families, you talk about football, and you talk

368
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:45,280
Speaker 4: about fishing, and that is essentially if you ever want

369
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:47,480
Speaker 4: to know kind of what goes on in y'all's room,

370
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 4: it's those three things and kind of that's what it is. So,

371
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:53,800
Speaker 4: what are some some fishing stories that you've heard from

372
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 4: the guys, Because I know Troy and Nate are like

373
00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:58,520
Speaker 4: really big time fishers. I was out in Montana with

374
00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:00,800
Speaker 4: Troy in the middle of winter and He's in the

375
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 4: middle of a rushing river fly fishing, and I'm like, mmm,

376
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 4: not my thing.

377
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:11,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, they they may especially loves fishing. It's like it's

378
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 2: a full addiction.

379
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:15,280
Speaker 3: It's like like it is the I've never you'd always think,

380
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:19,640
Speaker 3: like fishing, well, that's a very wholesome, very good, like

381
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 3: very very good thing to want to do, right, sure,

382
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:24,720
Speaker 3: but you kind of never think that someone would take

383
00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 3: it to the extent Nate has taking it. It is

384
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 3: the equivalent of how obsessed my brothers are with legual legends.

385
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:33,360
Speaker 3: Oh my god, Like it is no different. The obsession

386
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:35,640
Speaker 3: is the same. I think he does it too much, Nate,

387
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:38,840
Speaker 3: You're fishing too much. Like he would like if they

388
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:42,880
Speaker 3: would move back like our start time during OTAs, he

389
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 3: would come in after fishing and as soon as we

390
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:47,800
Speaker 3: were done on days, he would leave for fishing.

391
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 2: And he was fishing every off day.

392
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:53,560
Speaker 3: And he was like, Nate, like, you can't fish all

393
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 3: day and He's like, yes, I can't, man, I love it.

394
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:58,840
Speaker 2: And you know, more power to you. I guess that.

395
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:01,120
Speaker 1: Makes me wonder if he has like fishing poles like

396
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 1: going out of time right, like he's like did to

397
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:05,399
Speaker 1: it where it's just like you got like I have

398
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:07,440
Speaker 1: five computer monitors in front of my eyes, but he's

399
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:08,919
Speaker 1: just got like all right, I got this poll over here,

400
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:10,240
Speaker 1: and I got this pole in this bait is on

401
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:11,880
Speaker 1: this thing, and I got to check this one over here.

402
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:14,120
Speaker 2: Like when he talks about fishing, my headspins.

403
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:17,119
Speaker 3: He knows that it's again about the equivalent when my

404
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 3: brother's talking about legal legends. I don't know what's going on,

405
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying, those complex video games, I

406
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 3: don't know, but it's about the same with NAT fishing.

407
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:26,960
Speaker 4: Something that came up today actually when we were talking

408
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:29,399
Speaker 4: to Kirk Cousins was he was talking to us and

409
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 4: he about rookie presentations. Yeah, and this is something that

410
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:38,720
Speaker 4: he said originated from the linebackers room. Did he mean

411
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:42,960
Speaker 4: your your room specifically about these like conspiracy theories and having.

412
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:44,200
Speaker 1: The having all the guys.

413
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:47,640
Speaker 4: Okay, the premise, the premise of this, I'm sorry, I'm

414
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:49,560
Speaker 4: getting ahead of myself because I'm so excited about this,

415
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:51,480
Speaker 4: But the premise of this is that apparently there's this

416
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:55,160
Speaker 4: like power rankings of conspiracy theories amongst players on this team.

417
00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:58,199
Speaker 4: And what y'all have done is y'all basically given the

418
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:01,119
Speaker 4: rookies kind of these different spiracy theories and they do

419
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:04,320
Speaker 4: PowerPoint presentations on these conspiracy theories.

420
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:06,360
Speaker 5: Yes, is this true?

421
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:07,280
Speaker 2: Yes?

422
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:10,760
Speaker 3: Okay, So it's a it's a little blend, so we

423
00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:15,200
Speaker 3: had JD do one for us, and he did fantastic.

424
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:16,880
Speaker 2: Notre Dame education is amazing.

425
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:18,399
Speaker 1: What was the conspiracy theory?

426
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:20,240
Speaker 2: I'm not getting into that, Okay.

427
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:22,200
Speaker 5: Kirk, I'm not going to say public.

428
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:24,480
Speaker 2: I'm not going to say what this one was.

429
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 1: We're going to formulate our own conspiracy theory about why

430
00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 1: you talk about your conspiracy theories. It's true, carry on.

431
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:34,360
Speaker 3: But it's true conspiracy theory. JD convinced me, but we're

432
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:39,879
Speaker 3: not talking about it. And uh, the quarterbacks at the

433
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:42,119
Speaker 3: same time, we didn't know this, had their own little

434
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:45,119
Speaker 3: power ranking going in the offensive room of conspiracy theories.

435
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:47,399
Speaker 3: So now it's kind of all coming together and blending.

436
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:49,359
Speaker 3: And Jad did so great that I told him, I

437
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 3: don't need snacks. I don't need I don't need that stuff.

438
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:53,600
Speaker 3: I don't need you to buy any food. What I

439
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:54,920
Speaker 3: need from you is more power points.

440
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:55,560
Speaker 1: I want knowledge.

441
00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 3: So he I told him he's got another one coming

442
00:18:57,840 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 3: week one, so he's got a little break after camp,

443
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 3: you know, put something together again.

444
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:03,960
Speaker 2: And I told him what it is.

445
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 3: And I'm not telling you guys that one either, but

446
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:09,280
Speaker 3: I have something with Haiti and we'll get there later.

447
00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:13,480
Speaker 1: All right, Okay, I love this, Yeah, all right, conspiracy theories.

448
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:16,160
Speaker 1: But I'm still I'm formulating my own conspiracy theories as

449
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:18,360
Speaker 1: to what's going on behind the scenes. But you brought

450
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:20,720
Speaker 1: up Kirk, I've got I think time for maybe two

451
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:23,480
Speaker 1: more and then we're gonna we really appreciate the time

452
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:26,680
Speaker 1: with us Kayden today. But Kirk Cousins, I'm curious from

453
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:30,439
Speaker 1: your perspective, like, what what have you felt from the

454
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:33,040
Speaker 1: quarterback position so far in camp, because it seems like

455
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:36,239
Speaker 1: like he just looks really really sharp out there.

456
00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:40,000
Speaker 3: Difficulty as a defense right now, It's difficult. He's he's

457
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:45,160
Speaker 3: stressing us. Uh, he's smart, he's he just knows where

458
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:46,800
Speaker 3: the ball needs to go and he puts it there

459
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:50,840
Speaker 3: on a dime. So yeah, it's been difficult. That's what

460
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:52,480
Speaker 3: i'd say, which is what.

461
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:53,880
Speaker 1: You like for sure?

462
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:58,200
Speaker 4: That honestly, I love that he has the GoPro. I've

463
00:19:58,200 --> 00:19:59,919
Speaker 4: been telling Raw, I'm like, you need to give that

464
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:02,800
Speaker 4: you guys like the defense because I mean, at the

465
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:05,520
Speaker 4: bare minimum, just being able to see where his eyes

466
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:06,040
Speaker 4: are going.

467
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:08,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think even the cadence of like, all right,

468
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:11,640
Speaker 1: a quarterback, like when does he look off and whence

469
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:14,720
Speaker 1: he snapped back right. It's like the timing of like okay, one,

470
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:17,560
Speaker 1: two through boom, like a different type. So yeah, I mean,

471
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:20,760
Speaker 1: I'm sure there are benefits to that. I'm probably not

472
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:23,480
Speaker 1: smart enough to list those out, but let us know

473
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:26,880
Speaker 1: if you ever get to watch that film the defense.

474
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:30,920
Speaker 1: You know, last offseason, you guys coming in, David, you Jesse,

475
00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:33,320
Speaker 1: like a big transformation on that side of the ball.

476
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:36,280
Speaker 1: This year not so much. You know, draft picks, rookies

477
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:38,399
Speaker 1: that you guys you know hopefully will become part of

478
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:41,399
Speaker 1: the rotation and you can help develop. But there's a

479
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:43,520
Speaker 1: level of I think a vote of confidence maybe I

480
00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:46,359
Speaker 1: should say it that way in your side of the ball.

481
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:49,080
Speaker 1: What does that mean to you? And then how do you,

482
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:51,879
Speaker 1: guys as players repay that vote of confidence this season?

483
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:54,040
Speaker 2: I think it means a lot.

484
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:58,240
Speaker 3: You still got to just kind of stay hungry, and

485
00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:02,159
Speaker 3: whether or not they're the people around you are believing

486
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 3: in you or not, whether there's confidence in you or not,

487
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:06,800
Speaker 3: I think it's just you just got to go make

488
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:10,399
Speaker 3: your place and play ball. I mean I say that

489
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:12,720
Speaker 3: at the same time, there is something to having a

490
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:15,680
Speaker 3: confidence behind a position or a side of your ball.

491
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:19,080
Speaker 3: Side of the ball and your team, because you want

492
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:21,520
Speaker 3: to be a steady force for everybody else in the team.

493
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:23,600
Speaker 3: So I think living up to that, yeah, that's true.

494
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:25,719
Speaker 3: But at the same time, the best way to do that,

495
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:28,760
Speaker 3: to live up to that and succeed those expectations is

496
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:31,280
Speaker 3: almost to kind of forget about them and just stay

497
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:32,480
Speaker 3: hungry about it, you know what I'm.

498
00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:32,880
Speaker 1: Saying Like that.

499
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:35,080
Speaker 4: That's an interesting point too, because Kirk said today when

500
00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:36,560
Speaker 4: we were talking about him, he was like, we almost

501
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:39,960
Speaker 4: in this building have a healthy state of rage that

502
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 4: we're constantly tapping into, where it's like this idea of

503
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:45,360
Speaker 4: not being satisfied. Do you feel like that blends over

504
00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:47,359
Speaker 4: into the defense as well in the same conversation that

505
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:49,840
Speaker 4: you're talking about, Yes, yeah, in what ways?

506
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:51,080
Speaker 5: Where do you see that the most?

507
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:53,360
Speaker 2: That'd be hard.

508
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:54,800
Speaker 3: That's hard to point out, I think because it's a

509
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 3: very I mean, if you were able to point it

510
00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:01,720
Speaker 3: out in like, oh, it's here, here, and here, then

511
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:03,800
Speaker 3: you'd have to argue if that's really the case.

512
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:06,280
Speaker 6: It might not be authentic tho, yeah, it authentic, be

513
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:08,800
Speaker 6: taken away or it can agree because I think it's

514
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 6: very much a Yeah, it's not as fun as an answer,

515
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:16,359
Speaker 6: but the mentality of it, it's the way you're going

516
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:17,359
Speaker 6: about the minute things.

517
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:21,400
Speaker 3: It's the small details, you know, for lack of a horseshoe,

518
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:22,200
Speaker 3: for lack of a nail.

519
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:23,120
Speaker 2: That that poem.

520
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:26,000
Speaker 3: Uh, it's kind of that that situation where you just

521
00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:29,040
Speaker 3: you just it's it's really little things that will get

522
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:30,720
Speaker 3: you there, and it's attacking those little things that'll get

523
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:34,000
Speaker 3: you there. And I mean, I hadn't used the word rage,

524
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:35,320
Speaker 3: but I think it's a good way Kirk said it.

525
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:36,520
Speaker 2: It's it's keeping.

526
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 3: That that fire, going to attack those things.

527
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:41,520
Speaker 5: An undercurrent of rage.

528
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:44,640
Speaker 1: It's like simmerating underneath the surface. Yeah, you can feel

529
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:47,159
Speaker 1: that because it's almost like the training camp this this

530
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:50,439
Speaker 1: year has felt maybe less like all right, we've got

531
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:53,199
Speaker 1: a ten minute thing on the scoreboard, it's counting down. Now,

532
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:55,080
Speaker 1: we got an air horn. Now, everybody's running over to

533
00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:57,600
Speaker 1: the next drill. And it's very regimented, but it just

534
00:22:57,640 --> 00:22:59,199
Speaker 1: feels like you guys are all on your p's and

535
00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:02,480
Speaker 1: q's collect lead. Because maybe it points back to just

536
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:06,240
Speaker 1: that internal feeling as a group of like, yeah, we've

537
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:08,680
Speaker 1: got something to prove here, and in order to prove that,

538
00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:11,160
Speaker 1: it starts right now. It starts with the next drill,

539
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:12,760
Speaker 1: It starts with the next rep and you got to

540
00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:15,440
Speaker 1: bring it each and every time, so it awesome.

541
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 5: Before we go, we do have to ask you.

542
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:19,920
Speaker 4: We do a segment on the show called Camp Champ

543
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:23,480
Speaker 4: and it is basically where we pick out one person

544
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:26,680
Speaker 4: from the day and we nominate them and we discuss

545
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:30,240
Speaker 4: who we believe is the day's camp Champ.

546
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:33,880
Speaker 5: So for you for today, what does today? Wednesday?

547
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:36,640
Speaker 1: Today is Wednesday is Wednesday, the thirty first.

548
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:39,600
Speaker 4: The thirty first, Who was your camp Champ for the

549
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:40,680
Speaker 4: day for the day.

550

Speaker 5: Also, I will say we had Jesse on last week.

551
00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:45,280
Speaker 5: He picked Troy.

552
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:48,760
Speaker 2: Oh really okay, Jesse. Yeah, I gotta go Clark Phillips.

553
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:50,920

Speaker 3: Yeah, Clark Phillips and a two hm. Yeah, no, he's

555
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:58,520
Speaker 3: he's he's a very very tough player. Yeah, he's a

556
00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:02,000
Speaker 3: he's a good player in which he's quick, fast, explosive,

557
00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:04,520
Speaker 3: always in the right position, and now he's making plays

558
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:05,080
Speaker 3: some balls too.

559
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:07,920
