1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,040
Speaker 1: Patriot safety durn Harmon joins us on the line right now, Doron,

2
00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:07,600
Speaker 1: it's Dale and Rich. How are you. I'm We're doing great. Thanks.

3
00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:10,319
Speaker 1: Ready to hop on an airplane and play a road game.

4
00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:13,520
Speaker 1: Everybody says the third preseason game is the closest to

5
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:17,759
Speaker 1: the regular season. Do you buy into that? Oh? You

6
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:21,880
Speaker 1: could say that because, um, typically where starters kind of

7
00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:26,200
Speaker 1: play a little bit more, UM, a lot more emphasis

8
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:28,720
Speaker 1: on it, um as far as like game planning, So

9
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:30,960
Speaker 1: I guess you could definitely call it more of like

10
00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:35,000
Speaker 1: a rehearsal. Has training for the regular season? Has training

11
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:37,600
Speaker 1: camp changed for you know, just for what you guys

12
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:40,080
Speaker 1: can do? How much hitting there's been since say your

13
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 1: first year into the league to where you guys are now? Uh?

14
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:48,560
Speaker 1: Not me? Um, not not for me, I mean training campus, Cunner,

15
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:51,080
Speaker 1: I've been the same. If you talk to you know,

16
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:54,600
Speaker 1: like um, Dad and Patrick. I mean those guys had

17
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 1: to deal with two of day so UM literally, UM,

18
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 1: training camp, he's been a grond. We've been out there

19
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 1: and ted majority of other days. UM getting out working.

20
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 1: I'm sitting up tackling. Offensive line and defensive line has

21
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 1: been going at it. So I wouldn't say it change

22
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:15,680
Speaker 1: at all. Do defensive players have to tackle? I mean

23
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:17,200
Speaker 1: you've got to be able to go out there and

24
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 1: hit people to get yourself ready to do it when

25
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 1: you start the regular season in a couple of weeks.

26
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:25,679
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, definitely. I mean I would say one thing,

27
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 1: we don't really do too many live reps in practice,

28
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 1: but Coachy Buttercheck does a great job of putting us

29
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:36,679
Speaker 1: in different scenarios tackling drills. Um, well, we're getting good

30
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:40,680
Speaker 1: contact and working on driving our seed wrapping up and

31
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:43,479
Speaker 1: then you know the pre season games one and two

32
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 1: with the Redskins and the Eagles also help you prepare. Um,

33
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 1: that's when you fully get to go live. You're working

34
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 1: on your tackling, You're working on your entry points and

35
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 1: working on getting the guys on the ground doing that

36
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 1: at full speed. Temple what you haven't been able to

37
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 1: do and at training camp. I'm sure you've been asked

38
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 1: this a bunch over the last several weeks, but what

39
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:08,920
Speaker 1: do you make of the new helmet role? Uh, it's

40
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:11,799
Speaker 1: it's a rule. I mean, at the end of the day,

41
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,079
Speaker 1: you understand where the NFL is trying to go. They're

42
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:19,080
Speaker 1: trying to make the game safer UM, for for all players, UM,

43
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 1: not just for the running, but for the defender, for

44
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 1: duck in his head. I mean, because you just look

45
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:27,919
Speaker 1: at lanchere, this situation, UM, that's nothing that you want

46
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:32,920
Speaker 1: to deal with as as a league, UM, as a player,

47
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 1: or as a team. So they're really trying to do

48
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 1: their best, UM to just UM make this game as

49
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 1: safe as possible. UM. Obviously though with some of the

50
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:46,920
Speaker 1: calls UM, as a defender, you look at it and

51
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 1: you're like, how can I kind of get my head

52
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 1: out of this situation UM when tackling UM. So I

53
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 1: think UM, I think this past week they came out

54
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 1: with a statement saying that UM that they're gonna try

55
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,679
Speaker 1: basically that they're gonna try to do better, UM, try

56
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 1: to take out UM like incidental incidental contact, UM, trying

57
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 1: to realize where the head can't be. UH. I'm gonna

58
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 1: say where it can be, UH, where it has to

59
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 1: be sometimes evolved in the CONTRACTUM, and where it's not

60
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:27,239
Speaker 1: like literally just dropping head and trying to scare somebody. Now,

61
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 1: do you find yourself doing anything differently than how you

62
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:34,639
Speaker 1: would say, tackle somebody a year ago? I would say,

63
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 1: you've got to change a little bit, um, just for

64
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 1: the fact, you know, sometimes with cutting, I think that's

65
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 1: one I'm gonna be one of the toughest things for

66
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 1: defenders to do now because when you're trying to cut

67
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 1: the defender, um naturally your head just goes down. Um.

68
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 1: So I mean it's gonna have to be a tackling

69
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 1: up uphie a little bit more um, using the wrap

70
00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 1: up and just skin guys on the ground the best

71
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 1: way we can. With Matt Patricia moving on to Detroit

72
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 1: and Brian Flores taking over the defensive play calling, do

73
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 1: you see much of a difference in the defense on

74
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 1: this team? Oh? Well, A good thing I mean is

75
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 1: that I mean the defense is going to be the

76
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:22,360
Speaker 1: detase it's a defense that has been installed since Bill

77
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 1: has been here. Um. So the only thing that is

78
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:28,360
Speaker 1: a difference is kind of just the personality. I mean,

79
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:31,839
Speaker 1: they're not at all the same person But um, the

80
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:33,719
Speaker 1: defense that we're going to learn is the defense that

81
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 1: we've been running, and we're just going to try to

82
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,840
Speaker 1: run it at a better level than we did last year.

83
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 1: How does the Carolina offense have similarities to the Houston

84
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:44,839
Speaker 1: offense and would that make you know Tonight's or Tom

85
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:47,719
Speaker 1: Starry tomorrow Night's game even a little bit more valuable

86
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:49,599
Speaker 1: knowing that you can get some work done for for

87
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 1: Week one as well. I would say it definitely has

88
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 1: some similarities. Um, Houston wants to do a good job

89
00:04:56,680 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 1: of being balanced. Um. Um Carolina does a good job.

90
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 1: I was being balanced. Um. The mobile quarterback is probably

91
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:08,360
Speaker 1: the biggest similarity between the two teams. But then I

92
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 1: would have to say their mobility is this is tabit different?

93
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 1: Um because the Shawan is is it more of a

94
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:22,919
Speaker 1: slippery guy. He's not as strong as Cam Newton? Cam Newton,

95
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 1: It's like a physical free I mean the guy is,

96
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:31,119
Speaker 1: you know, sixty five, sixty six to sixty. Um, it's strong.

97
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 1: It's probably any player in the NFL. When he runs

98
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:36,359
Speaker 1: with the ball, Um, it seemed like he doesn't have

99
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 1: the ball security, but hardly ever there's the ball getting

100
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:41,360
Speaker 1: knocked out, and that's just because he's grip and how

101
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 1: strong he is and how how well he can grip

102
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 1: the ball. So, I mean, there's definitely some similarities, but

103
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 1: it's some difference as well. But I mean the biggest

104
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:54,280
Speaker 1: similarity is definitely the mobile, the mobile quarterback and that's

105
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 1: something that we're gonna have to be ready to take

106
00:05:56,600 --> 00:06:00,719
Speaker 1: care of UM on Friday and one of the regular

107
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:03,600
Speaker 1: season Duran, we appreciate you taking the time to join
