1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,440
Speaker 1: Joan, how's it getting the first team defense out there

2
00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:05,960
Speaker 1: for the first full game action and getting sort of

3
00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:09,360
Speaker 1: the rust off and getting back into the full Priestson

4
00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:13,760
Speaker 1: Pro full preseason, pro full preseason for you guys, got

5
00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:16,119
Speaker 1: you got na, No, it was it was great. It

6
00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:17,720
Speaker 1: was great to get back out in the field in

7
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:21,319
Speaker 1: front of our home crowd. Good things going, especially on

8
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:24,360
Speaker 1: the defensive side of the ball. Um. Yeah, right now,

9
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:26,799
Speaker 1: I'm just looking to string it all together. It was

10
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:28,319
Speaker 1: good to get back out there, though, like you said,

11
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:31,160
Speaker 1: kind of knocking. I guess, uh using your words, not

12
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:33,080
Speaker 1: going to rust off. But it's good to be got

13
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:35,520
Speaker 1: out there with our fans and everything, getting the atmosphere

14
00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:38,760
Speaker 1: especially we've been practicing against some guys for for a

15
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:40,880
Speaker 1: little bit, but to be on a game field was

16
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 1: definitely a plus for us. So earlier this week coach

17
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:50,560
Speaker 1: said you pretty much the leader of the linebacker group.

18
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 1: Now do you feel that way too? Obviously? Yeah, I

19
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 1: guess I'm kind of like the elder statesman in the room.

20
00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 1: But we got a lot of great leaders in our room,

21
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:01,720
Speaker 1: which is kind of something we pride ourselves on. Guys

22
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 1: that are able to take a lot of responsibility be

23
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:07,560
Speaker 1: able to take charge if needed of not just a

24
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 1: linebacker room, but the defense as a whole. But it

25
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 1: kind of comes to the territory. You look to just

26
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 1: do things the right way and just try to give

27
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 1: and be a light that some people could follow, especially

28
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:20,600
Speaker 1: being here for a little bit, so I look, I

29
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 1: take that role. Jan bill Us had nice things to

30
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 1: say about Johnny to buy early on during this preseason.

31
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 1: What have you seen from him so far through the

32
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:34,399
Speaker 1: first few preseason games in training camp? A great player,

33
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 1: A great player. Jivanni came Camada's kind of in the

34
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 1: middle of the year last year. He's been great for us.

35
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 1: I mean, we just look for him to just constantly

36
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:45,320
Speaker 1: get better. But he's definitely on the right track and everything.

37
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 1: He's a hell of a player as well as often

38
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 1: feel a good person to having your locker room. So

39
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 1: h yeah, shout out to Gilanni. How do you feel sorry?

40
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 1: How do you feel about the defense in regard to

41
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 1: you know, the speed and athleticism to day study felt

42
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 1: you guys were flying around a little bit more. That's

43
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 1: been a big area perhaps of growth, is the speed

44
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:08,799
Speaker 1: and athleticism of the group that's always ill goes to

45
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 1: get out there and fly around for sure. Being able

46
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:14,360
Speaker 1: to run and hit definitely a point of emphasis for

47
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 1: us that we definitely want to try to get done,

48
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 1: as well as a lot of other things. But running

49
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:21,639
Speaker 1: and tackling is definitely a big deal for us. So yeah,

50
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 1: jyling kind of on the right track with that, Thank you.

51
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:29,360
Speaker 1: If you put your head your mind in the space

52
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 1: of an opposing offensive player, what would you want them

53
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:33,359
Speaker 1: to fear kind of about your defense or what would

54
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:34,959
Speaker 1: you want them to be thinking about about the defense

55
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 1: you think the Patriots can have this year? Everything I

56
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 1: wouldn't want to sell ourselves short or anything. But as

57
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 1: far as preparation, you will hope as a defense that

58
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:48,080
Speaker 1: the offense is considering everything that you do, everything that

59
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 1: you pride yourself on, which I would say for us,

60
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 1: it's a plethora of things, whether it's running and tackling,

61
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:57,679
Speaker 1: good run defense, good pass defense. Obviously you want to

62
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:01,239
Speaker 1: be perfect and everything, but that's not always the case.

63
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 1: So you just look to prove yourself on a lot

64
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 1: of good things and make sure you do a lot

65
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 1: of great things well at the end of the day.

66
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 1: But as far as like how offense views us, I

67
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 1: would hope they their game plan on everything about us. Nah,

68
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 1: but I feel like that's a hot take, so that's

69
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:24,080
Speaker 1: not that's not all that important. I appreciate you guys,
