We 14 00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:46,680 Speaker 1: want to do it the right way. UM.

Everybody misses a day 17 00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:54,960 Speaker 1: here there and you have It's fine, But why is 18 00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:57,480 Speaker 1: it important your ninth year in the NFL. You don't 19 00:00:57,520 --> 00:00:59,080 Speaker 1: have to be here if you don't want. You know 20 00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:01,560 Speaker 1: what it takes to be for a season. Why is 21 00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:03,800 Speaker 1: it important for you, Marshall to be here for these 22 00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:08,520 Speaker 1: voluntary workouts. I mean, it's it means the world I 23 00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:12,959 Speaker 1: have that that good understanding is a relationship. You're having 24 00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:15,880 Speaker 1: a good understanding of a relationship that you're building for 25 00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:20,720 Speaker 1: the long haul, for the season. So it's like, you know, 26 00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:23,240 Speaker 1: you want to have good you wanna have great communication. 27 00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:25,680 Speaker 1: You want to have a good understanding of what I mean, 28 00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:27,880 Speaker 1: I mean it and what I mean I'm like, we're 29 00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:29,880 Speaker 1: going to figure this out and kind of see if 30 00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:32,840 Speaker 1: that's where I'm going. Um, just having that understanding of 31 00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:36,360 Speaker 1: knowing who's gonna be where and trusting that that person 32 00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:38,039 Speaker 1: is gonna do exactly what they say they're gonna do. 33 00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:41,120 Speaker 1: So we're just building that And I know that's so important. 34 00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:43,319 Speaker 1: So I know I have to be here for Marcel 35 00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:46,119 Speaker 1: Darius with us. Does that change every year or can 36 00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:47,880 Speaker 1: that carry over from year to year? Do you have 37 00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,800 Speaker 1: to start really almost from scratch when all season workouts? 38 00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:53,480 Speaker 1: We get it's something that you have to build in 39 00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:56,440 Speaker 1: every year. Um, but it all depends on a group 40 00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:59,160 Speaker 1: of guys that you have. If you have a system 41 00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:02,640 Speaker 1: that's been in it and you don't change it, you 42 00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:05,760 Speaker 1: just kind of let us continue to work on our relationship. 43 00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:08,080 Speaker 1: Things should still be the same. But when you have 44 00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:11,560 Speaker 1: moving pieces, this piece is gonna bringing in something else. 45 00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:15,560 Speaker 1: And now you have half a conversation. The other half 46 00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:17,960 Speaker 1: don't know what's going on because they're not speaking the 47 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:21,080 Speaker 1: same language. It throws off what you're actually trying to do. 48 00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:24,880 Speaker 1: So UM, it's something that you work out, something that 49 00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:26,960 Speaker 1: you work every year. So I want to make sure 50 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,200 Speaker 1: I'm a part of it. And then I'm missing my conversation. 51 00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:32,560 Speaker 1: You mentioned guys coming, guys leaving, you know, the leaks 52 00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:34,960 Speaker 1: out of here. You've got another first round pick this 53 00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:38,040 Speaker 1: year coming into this room. So there has been a 54 00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:40,320 Speaker 1: little bit of change in the defensive line room of 55 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:42,639 Speaker 1: the new guys here. Really the last two first round picks. 56 00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:46,000 Speaker 1: Let's talk about those guys, Tavin, Brian and Josh Allen. 57 00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:48,200 Speaker 1: I haven't seen a lot of Josh in the field yet, 58 00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:51,640 Speaker 1: but of those guys, UM take us through their development. 59 00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:53,840 Speaker 1: I know Tavan over the last year or so and 60 00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:55,760 Speaker 1: now Josh just the short time he's been around the 61 00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:59,080 Speaker 1: building here. Um, they're all still growing, still have a 62 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:03,040 Speaker 1: lot to learn, the young d Lina and Um and 63 00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:06,480 Speaker 1: they just have they're in doing the process and they're 64 00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:10,359 Speaker 1: they're understanding that the conversation, their understanding that the conversations 65 00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:13,160 Speaker 1: and the relationships that need to be had and then 66 00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:15,920 Speaker 1: you need to be you need to be around in 67 00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:18,480 Speaker 1: order for you to become a good player a great 68 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:22,959 Speaker 1: player understanding that now and it's still a process for them. 69 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:26,000 Speaker 1: So after camp it would be a better understandable one 70 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,400 Speaker 1: because this is just introducing us to each other. And 71 00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:31,360 Speaker 1: when we get the camp here to be live bullets, 72 00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:34,600 Speaker 1: we can understand like, now I need you because I'm 73 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:36,440 Speaker 1: getting hit and I need you to have my back. 74 00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:39,160 Speaker 1: So the conversation is getting more embedded in them, and 75 00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:41,960 Speaker 1: they're not. They're just kind of understanding it all. Big 76 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,480 Speaker 1: picture question on defense here. You know, it was still 77 00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:46,640 Speaker 1: a highly ready group last year in terms of yardage 78 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:48,920 Speaker 1: and all that, but it didn't have that impact of 79 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,880 Speaker 1: two seasons ago, the takeaways and the sacks. When you 80 00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,480 Speaker 1: join the team in the trade, of course that that changed, 81 00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,080 Speaker 1: but that that defense was unbelievable and it's still strong 82 00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:59,440 Speaker 1: last year. What does it take to get back to 83 00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:04,120 Speaker 1: that gay and wrecking, turnover making sacking defense from two 84 00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:08,160 Speaker 1: years ago. I mean, the big difference is we had 85 00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:10,240 Speaker 1: to play it safe. We had to play the game 86 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:12,840 Speaker 1: at a level where we know we can stay in it. 87 00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:14,800 Speaker 1: So we had a lot of injuries last year, so 88 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:18,360 Speaker 1: and you can't, you can't be well, you know, everyone 89 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:21,040 Speaker 1: knows our defensive coordinator, they know our head coach, they 90 00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:23,320 Speaker 1: know they like to let us go. They like to 91 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:26,039 Speaker 1: let us play balls to the wall, go have fun. 92 00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:28,800 Speaker 1: Just today we take the call off. You'll go, dude, 93 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,560 Speaker 1: you'll want to do. But the last year it was 94 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:33,839 Speaker 1: more of a Okay, we have a lot of injuries 95 00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:36,600 Speaker 1: and we want you all to play your ass off, 96 00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:39,000 Speaker 1: but at the same time, we need we need to. 97 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:41,720 Speaker 1: We can't. We can we your chain and go as 98 00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:44,599 Speaker 1: far as we let it. So it's like we want 99 00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:47,560 Speaker 1: you to do that, but we can't take their chance 100 00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:50,720 Speaker 1: right now. So it was just those. It was just 101 00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:54,360 Speaker 1: those knowing that we have injuries and playing the game 102 00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:56,960 Speaker 1: inside the game. Didn't play with many leagues either. That 103 00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:58,920 Speaker 1: helps when you're trying to rush the pastor that's kind 104 00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,160 Speaker 1: of how that works on I'm not saying that. I'm 105 00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:05,120 Speaker 1: just telling you one thing that we have to focus 106 00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:09,240 Speaker 1: on on defense as we have to play within the game. 107 00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:12,440 Speaker 1: Or so Darius, with us a final thought here about 108 00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,359 Speaker 1: a month ago on your Instagram account, which is a 109 00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:18,360 Speaker 1: great follow up. By the way, if folks aren't following it, 110 00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:21,480 Speaker 1: you should. Um. You had a ride along with the 111 00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:24,320 Speaker 1: Jacksonville Sheriff's office here in town, and you had a 112 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:28,160 Speaker 1: photograph out on that. What prompted you to call him 113 00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:29,680 Speaker 1: up and try to go do that and what did 114 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:31,480 Speaker 1: you get out of that day? UM? I really want 115 00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:34,800 Speaker 1: to get understanding of the layout of Jacksonville, kind of 116 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:38,640 Speaker 1: get a better understanding of what's actually going on around us. UM, 117 00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:42,039 Speaker 1: what the stadium is, what's going on around the stadium exactly? 118 00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:46,240 Speaker 1: So UM, I wrote with UM A great guy. He 119 00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:48,920 Speaker 1: told me his name, but we're still communicating his name. 120 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,840 Speaker 1: We call him Pop. His nickname is Pop. I called 121 00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:54,200 Speaker 1: him Pop and he's a good dude, great guy. I 122 00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:57,560 Speaker 1: made his family. UM. We rolled around for at least 123 00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:01,080 Speaker 1: five six hours, UM. And he told me about the 124 00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:04,600 Speaker 1: food desert in Jacksonville. He told me about the areas 125 00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:07,400 Speaker 1: that's having the problems in troubles. UM. He tell me 126 00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:09,359 Speaker 1: what they do to try to help. He tell me 127 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:11,240 Speaker 1: what they do in the community to get guys out 128 00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:13,560 Speaker 1: to let them know there's no harm. We just were 129 00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:15,560 Speaker 1: just here to keep it every one safe. So it 130 00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:18,159 Speaker 1: was a It was a It was a much more 131 00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:20,840 Speaker 1: enlightenment conversation and right alone than I thought I was 132 00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:23,279 Speaker 1: gonna get.

I mean, 134 00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:30,560 Speaker 1: I've never heard of a food desert before in the middle, 135 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:32,400 Speaker 1: in the middle of a city of a food desert. 136 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:35,960 Speaker 1: There's no stories within the block of five miles that 137 00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:38,720 Speaker 1: that doesn't make sense to me. Um that alone, and 138 00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:42,920 Speaker 1: the different distresss District five and three and four, and 139 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:47,440 Speaker 1: all the hot spots, um that just that alone, just 140 00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:49,359 Speaker 1: kind of over miles up to what's actually going on 141 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:52,720 Speaker 1: and going on in Jacksonville.
