Uh, 0:02:04.080 --> 0:02:06.040 even though the players will be away, they'll still be 0:02:06.080 --> 0:02:08.400 training and working to get ready for training camp and 0:02:08.400 --> 0:02:09.160 what's in store there. 0:02:09.240 --> 0:02:11.440 So that's our next step. What question do you have. 0:02:12.000 --> 0:02:14.799 John, He's did see Marling out there and we haven't 0:02:14.800 --> 0:02:16.520 seen him and he'll do a lot of it. 0:02:17.200 --> 0:02:20.760 What's what's Yeah, just nagging things he'll be he'll he 0:02:20.760 --> 0:02:21.880 should be ready for training camp. 0:02:21.960 --> 0:02:24.520 Shouldn't be a problem coach we have. 0:02:24.760 --> 0:02:26.919 We'll see Charlie Klar got a little buffer this year. 0:02:27.040 --> 0:02:29.000 Is that a little boost of confidence for his position? 0:02:29.600 --> 0:02:31.560 Yeah, he looks good. Charlie's worked really hard. 0:02:31.600 --> 0:02:34.080 He has put on a lot of muscle, lean muscle mass, 0:02:34.480 --> 0:02:36.240 and I know he's committed to, you know, all the 0:02:36.240 --> 0:02:37.840 aspects of being a good tight end. 0:02:37.880 --> 0:02:38.960 He wants to be a really good blocker. 0:02:39.000 --> 0:02:40.880 I mean that's important to him and uh you know 0:02:40.919 --> 0:02:43.880 he's preparing himself just for that. 0:02:44.440 --> 0:02:47.920 A pro bowler, been here for all voluntary workouts. Man 0:02:48.680 --> 0:02:50.639 a big day to day with us play. This has 0:02:50.639 --> 0:02:52.400 a game by example of guys. 0:02:53.760 --> 0:02:55.240 That's exactly what he does to I mean he does 0:02:55.360 --> 0:02:57.240 lead by example. Not he doesn't, but he does it 0:02:57.240 --> 0:02:59.720 every way. And he's also a vocal leader. He's also 0:02:59.760 --> 0:03:02.960 a kind of an inspirational leader. He does it on 0:03:03.000 --> 0:03:04.880 the field, he does it in the weight room, he 0:03:04.919 --> 0:03:06.840 does it in the meeting room. He's just he's one 0:03:06.840 --> 0:03:08.440 of those guys, you know, one of those special kind 0:03:08.480 --> 0:03:08.880 of guys. 0:03:09.520 --> 0:03:11.880 Coach, are guys able to separate it all without pads 0:03:11.919 --> 0:03:13.320 on the offensive line? 0:03:14.200 --> 0:03:16.840 Uh No, not really, not really. That's that'll be for 0:03:16.880 --> 0:03:17.399 training camp. 0:03:17.440 --> 0:03:19.120 I think they've done all those guys have done what 0:03:19.160 --> 0:03:21.760 they need to do in terms of preparing for that. 0:03:21.840 --> 0:03:25.120 But that'll happen first few weeks of training camp and 0:03:25.160 --> 0:03:26.679 then on into the preseason games. 0:03:26.680 --> 0:03:27.400 We'll see where we go. 0:03:27.880 --> 0:03:31.760 What you considering a candeer ishmail the tight endslhim working 0:03:32.120 --> 0:03:35.920 some individual caneer Ishmael was working with the tight ends 0:03:35.960 --> 0:03:36.920 for individuals. 0:03:37.000 --> 0:03:38.120 Is that a consideration of. 0:03:38.120 --> 0:03:41.320 Having him work in in that position or just exploring options? 0:03:41.520 --> 0:03:43.440 Yeah, I mean I think it's exploring options and so 0:03:43.560 --> 0:03:46.880 everything nowadays you put them in groups, you call them 0:03:46.880 --> 0:03:48.560 tight ends and wide receivers, but a lot of times 0:03:48.880 --> 0:03:51.400 they do the same jobs, you know, So having them 0:03:51.400 --> 0:03:53.000 over the work on some of those techniques was what 0:03:53.040 --> 0:03:56.880 we were doing. And he'll probably be kind of an 0:03:56.720 --> 0:03:59.200 inside receiver type of a guy. Not say he couldn't 0:03:59.200 --> 0:04:01.119 go outside and go getes and things like that, he's 0:04:01.120 --> 0:04:03.760 so big, but I would say he's really he's really 0:04:03.760 --> 0:04:06.560 looked good. I mean, he's had a nice camp signs 0:04:07.160 --> 0:04:11.240 a tryout player. Obviously he's got a family pedigree. It's incredible, 0:04:11.240 --> 0:04:13.680 but he's doing it on all his own and he's 0:04:13.840 --> 0:04:15.880 he's made a couple of catches today. Look good out there, 0:04:17.120 --> 0:04:19.960 Like you know what we can do over the last 0:04:19.960 --> 0:04:22.039 couple of years, and he's made quite a few wild 0:04:22.040 --> 0:04:22.880 plays this week. 0:04:22.960 --> 0:04:24.400 How Pus' been with his name? 0:04:24.920 --> 0:04:27.120 Happy with Isaiah, I guess as expected, you know, and 0:04:27.480 --> 0:04:30.200 work ethic too, locked in every single day, been here 0:04:30.240 --> 0:04:31.880 every day. Another guy who's been here every day. Have 0:04:31.920 --> 0:04:34.560 so many of the guys that have done that, and 0:04:34.600 --> 0:04:37.080 it shows. So he's talented. He's gonna be a big 0:04:37.120 --> 0:04:37.680 part of what we do. 0:04:38.040 --> 0:04:38.240 Joying. 0:04:38.440 --> 0:04:40.800 A few days ago, you told Jerry Coleman that one 0:04:40.839 --> 0:04:43.560 of your big takeaways from AC Championship is that you 0:04:43.600 --> 0:04:45.679 want to get the ball more in the quarterbacks hands. 0:04:45.920 --> 0:04:47.479 What does that look like you so far? 0:04:48.760 --> 0:04:51.239 Yeah, I think we're talking about all the pre snap stuff, 0:04:51.320 --> 0:04:53.679 operational type stuff at the line and in the huddle, 0:04:53.680 --> 0:04:55.760 out of the huddle at the line, try to make 0:04:55.800 --> 0:04:57.920 some decisions at the line in terms of growing the 0:04:57.960 --> 0:05:00.640 offense in that direction. It's looked good, good, but we 0:05:00.680 --> 0:05:02.400 still have a long way to go. I think everybody 0:05:02.440 --> 0:05:03.800 would tell you that we've got a lot of work 0:05:03.800 --> 0:05:05.679 to do with that, and it will be an ongoing 0:05:05.720 --> 0:05:09.520 process throughout the season for sure, but that's the direction 0:05:09.560 --> 0:05:09.920 we're going. 0:05:10.120 --> 0:05:12.880 John. Obviously, though I had to take for Trenton six 0:05:12.960 --> 0:05:15.919 instead of at innsis linebacker. How he's handled out this 0:05:15.920 --> 0:05:19.680 string running with the WANs teams, Well, I. 0:05:19.640 --> 0:05:21.279 Think I think he has looked really good. You know, 0:05:21.360 --> 0:05:24.800 I think he's done a great job. Trenton is uh, 0:05:24.960 --> 0:05:27.520 he's he's a quick learner. Something even as simple as 0:05:27.520 --> 0:05:30.000 pump protection footwork, which he was as he played a 0:05:30.000 --> 0:05:31.960 little bit as a rookie first couple of days of 0:05:32.560 --> 0:05:33.440 the Phase. 0:05:33.200 --> 0:05:35.320 Two stuff, he really didn't look very good with the footwork. 0:05:35.600 --> 0:05:39.520 You know, like everything else, we're chasing perfection and we're 0:05:39.920 --> 0:05:44.040 confronting every issue. We confronted the punt footwork, and now 0:05:44.040 --> 0:05:46.400 he looks fantastic. I mean, he's perfect in what he's 0:05:46.400 --> 0:05:47.920 doing out there. I think that is kind of an 0:05:47.920 --> 0:05:49.719 example of all the other stuff he's doing on defense. 0:05:49.760 --> 0:05:51.480 He knows what he's doing out there. Now. 0:05:51.560 --> 0:05:53.919 The next step will be training camp, preseason games and 0:05:53.960 --> 0:05:54.520 on from there. 0:05:54.960 --> 0:05:56.919 John records another. 0:05:58.600 --> 0:06:01.760 Six down out of town paid. He feels a little 0:06:01.800 --> 0:06:03.200 quicker than last year. 0:06:03.320 --> 0:06:03.480 You know. 0:06:03.520 --> 0:06:08.560 There the games that the questioning Paul about how we 0:06:08.720 --> 0:06:09.760 got kind of. 0:06:09.200 --> 0:06:12.520 You get him Chunch in the office saw that looked out. 0:06:12.839 --> 0:06:15.560 How do you say that they've an answer of growing 0:06:15.640 --> 0:06:16.080 or you. 0:06:16.080 --> 0:06:17.760 Know, how do you how do you do that? That 0:06:17.880 --> 0:06:19.120 will kind of. 0:06:19.080 --> 0:06:20.080 A sea that. 0:06:20.640 --> 0:06:22.720 Yeah, I think it'll it'll it'll evolve kind of the 0:06:22.760 --> 0:06:25.440 direction that goes in terms of where the offense goes 0:06:25.480 --> 0:06:27.680 and what we need. But there's always gonna be a 0:06:27.720 --> 0:06:29.880 requirement for a guy like Pat. If you have a 0:06:29.880 --> 0:06:33.400 guy like Pat and uh, I mean the questions last 0:06:33.480 --> 0:06:36.560 year were pretty much kind of debunked and he played 0:06:36.600 --> 0:06:38.800 a lot, and I think that's gonna be the same 0:06:38.800 --> 0:06:40.360 thing this year. I mean, you got a good football player, 0:06:40.360 --> 0:06:42.200 you gott put him out there. So he'll be out 0:06:42.240 --> 0:06:44.160 there playing and we'll find a lot of a lot 0:06:44.160 --> 0:06:45.280 of great roles for him to do. I mean, the 0:06:45.320 --> 0:06:47.080 nice thing is he can he can actually run routes 0:06:47.080 --> 0:06:49.080 and catch the ball, you know, and that's something that 0:06:49.120 --> 0:06:50.680 people kind of take for granted that he wouldn't be 0:06:50.680 --> 0:06:53.800 able to do. He's always I mean, I can remember 0:06:54.160 --> 0:06:57.080 I can remember Coach Phillips out here. I love Coach 0:06:57.120 --> 0:06:59.720 Phillips out here when his defensive coordinator for the Rams 0:06:59.800 --> 0:07:02.520 basically saying, you know what, what's Pat's number? 0:07:02.560 --> 0:07:02.960 Forty two? 0:07:03.400 --> 0:07:05.839 He goes, don't cover forty two. He's a defensive Lineman. 0:07:06.320 --> 0:07:08.920 You know, very next play touchdown passing the flat. You 0:07:08.960 --> 0:07:11.760 know that's right, don't cover forty two. 0:07:13.480 --> 0:07:15.680 John, what's kind of the getaway message to the guys 0:07:16.480 --> 0:07:19.160 and you know, kind of your message to them as 0:07:19.200 --> 0:07:21.720 they go on this kind of six week break on 0:07:21.760 --> 0:07:22.640 their own before Rob. 0:07:23.320 --> 0:07:25.080 Yeah, there's a lot of good messages, probably the ones 0:07:25.120 --> 0:07:27.560 you'd expect to hear, but it really is an intentionality 0:07:27.560 --> 0:07:29.960 to everything we do. Uh, there should be a plan 0:07:30.720 --> 0:07:32.960 in terms of what we're trying to accomplish every day. 0:07:33.160 --> 0:07:35.120 You know, So what are you trying accomplish for the 0:07:35.200 --> 0:07:38.040 next weeks that lead into training camp to put you 0:07:38.040 --> 0:07:40.440 in position to have the best training camp, to handle 0:07:40.440 --> 0:07:42.800 the loads involved, become the best team we can be, 0:07:43.320 --> 0:07:46.000 and to be intentional about that every single day. That's 0:07:46.040 --> 0:07:49.400 the you know, the core of the message. 0:07:50.000 --> 0:07:54.160 Washington, a guy that's definitely intreats kind of flashed out 0:07:54.200 --> 0:07:55.200 there and practice a lot. 0:07:57.440 --> 0:07:58.160 Or gariusa Washing. 0:07:59.040 --> 0:08:02.080 I thought there's gonna be more are uh he our 0:08:02.120 --> 0:08:03.040 Darius looked really good. 0:08:03.120 --> 0:08:04.560 Yeah. I feel great about him. 0:08:04.920 --> 0:08:07.280 Uh, he's I think he established, he's already established himself. 0:08:07.280 --> 0:08:08.720 I mean, you know, he's played in the game every game, 0:08:08.720 --> 0:08:11.520 he's played and he's played well, he's looked great in practice, 0:08:11.840 --> 0:08:13.640 and uh, let's get him out there and get him 0:08:13.640 --> 0:08:17.480 in some more games. I think that's the goal. Coach, 0:08:17.560 --> 0:08:22.080 knowing that he came control the rob Away, Lamar was 0:08:22.520 --> 0:08:24.440 bench brush songs atout. 0:08:24.240 --> 0:08:25.600 Trying to get these guys together. 0:08:26.480 --> 0:08:29.480 Or is he or hope that they will get together? 0:08:30.280 --> 0:08:32.920 Yeah, I mean it's how you word the question. 0:08:33.080 --> 0:08:34.640 Obviously he was he was going to get try to 0:08:34.640 --> 0:08:36.480 get those guys together, and he's excited about that. 0:08:36.559 --> 0:08:43.160 And that's great, that's cool, John excited. I'm looking forward 0:08:43.200 --> 0:08:43.679 to it, you know. 0:08:43.800 --> 0:08:48.120 I guess I mean, how excited was I to face 0:08:48.160 --> 0:08:50.560 off against him and drive away when we were playing 0:08:51.200 --> 0:08:52.800 you know, one on one hockey or one on one 0:08:52.840 --> 0:08:54.959 basketball wrestling and when my dad said put the gloves on, 0:08:55.080 --> 0:08:56.400 going to the basement if you want to fight each 0:08:56.400 --> 0:08:57.000 other all the time. 0:08:57.559 --> 0:08:58.800 So I guess it was kind of exciting. 0:08:58.880 --> 0:09:01.559 But then again, you know, it wasn't that great, you know, 0:09:01.960 --> 0:09:04.120 especially when he got bigger, you got to be more 0:09:04.120 --> 0:09:08.800 a little more challenging. So I think more than that 0:09:08.920 --> 0:09:10.920 day will come when it comes. So we're not really 0:09:10.960 --> 0:09:14.040 thinking about it too much, but when it comes, it'll 0:09:14.040 --> 0:09:16.000 be kind of cool. It'll be it'll be a start. 0:09:18.080 --> 0:09:18.720 Taking the chances. 0:09:19.720 --> 0:09:21.800 The quarterback. Why, what have you see from the end 0:09:21.800 --> 0:09:22.160 of his train? 0:09:22.480 --> 0:09:23.400 I think the leaks look good. 0:09:23.400 --> 0:09:25.400 At wide receiver, he's he's shown a lot of a 0:09:25.440 --> 0:09:27.320 lot of speed, a lot of quickness, kind of a natural, 0:09:27.559 --> 0:09:28.920 kind of a natural at the position. 0:09:29.520 --> 0:09:29.600 Uh. 0:09:29.679 --> 0:09:32.120 And he also I've seen that he understands the game 0:09:32.160 --> 0:09:34.880 from the perspective of the quarterback. So routes and coverage 0:09:34.920 --> 0:09:35.880 and timing and things. 0:09:35.720 --> 0:09:36.600 Like that have been excellent. 0:09:39.559 --> 0:09:42.839 We also talked with a pair of veterans, including veteran 0:09:42.880 --> 0:09:45.560 outside linebacker Kyle van Noy, who resigned with the team 0:09:46.080 --> 0:09:48.679 this offseason. He discussed the decision to return here to 0:09:48.760 --> 0:09:51.920 Baltimore and the expectations he has for the upcoming season. 0:09:55.040 --> 0:09:58.640 Feel great, How do you feel good? 0:09:59.000 --> 0:09:59.200 Yeah? 0:09:59.400 --> 0:10:03.560 Excited to be here, pump to be a raven pump 0:10:03.640 --> 0:10:07.800 to go in to year eleven. Not many people get 0:10:07.840 --> 0:10:10.839 to say they did that. I beat Aaron Donald in 0:10:10.920 --> 0:10:11.600 one thing, right? 0:10:14.440 --> 0:10:18.960 How is it coming in after some time under your belt? 0:10:19.040 --> 0:10:22.319 Last year you performed remarkably well from coming off the 0:10:22.360 --> 0:10:22.880 couch here. 0:10:23.200 --> 0:10:25.560 Now you've had a chance changing numbers up I mean 0:10:25.920 --> 0:10:27.959 now you're a raven. How much different does it get you? 0:10:28.920 --> 0:10:32.520 You know, the biggest difference is that everybody knows me now, 0:10:32.679 --> 0:10:35.959 right the staff behind the scenes, just getting to know 0:10:36.120 --> 0:10:40.240 them and their families, knowing them, just that relationship and 0:10:40.440 --> 0:10:42.480 just coming back with the guys that I already know, 0:10:43.120 --> 0:10:47.559 having that relationship with guys like Kyle Hamilton, Rokwan. 0:10:48.160 --> 0:10:49.920 Doff and Jabo. 0:10:50.200 --> 0:10:52.839 Just guys like that that you get to come back 0:10:52.920 --> 0:10:56.079 with with familiar faces and get to know better. And 0:10:56.320 --> 0:10:59.600 just knowing the defense. I mean, that helps coming back 0:10:59.679 --> 0:11:02.559 and you know what you're doing. That just makes you 0:11:02.720 --> 0:11:04.480 and allows you to play a little bit faster. 0:11:06.679 --> 0:11:08.480 In January, did you have the sense that you would 0:11:08.520 --> 0:11:10.240 be that Yeah. 0:11:10.160 --> 0:11:13.080 I always keep an open mind to everything. I felt 0:11:13.160 --> 0:11:16.599 like we had a good relationship and it was open communication. 0:11:18.360 --> 0:11:21.319 We felt like it was benefit to both parties. And 0:11:21.600 --> 0:11:26.360 I'm happy to be here. Appreciate boss Man, mister B 0:11:26.640 --> 0:11:30.240 and DC and Harves for making that happen. Just pumped 0:11:30.280 --> 0:11:33.920 to be back with the teammates and you know, repent 0:11:34.040 --> 0:11:35.800 for our sins after last year. 0:11:36.280 --> 0:11:38.079 As you were making your decision, how much of a 0:11:38.200 --> 0:11:40.960 factor did it play that Zach War was gonna be stepping. 0:11:40.640 --> 0:11:41.760 Into mag McDonald's year. 0:11:42.559 --> 0:11:45.760 Yeah, I love Zeo, big fan of his, have been 0:11:45.880 --> 0:11:48.680 since he's played. He played the right way when he played, 0:11:48.720 --> 0:11:52.240 and he coaches the right way too. You know, Mike 0:11:52.400 --> 0:11:55.559 mack going on moving on, congrats to him again, Like 0:11:56.000 --> 0:11:59.360 it's awesome to see him and his efforts of what 0:11:59.520 --> 0:12:02.079 he did and he got the benefits of that of 0:12:02.200 --> 0:12:04.439 becoming a head coach, which I believe he was ready for, 0:12:04.600 --> 0:12:07.920 and Zeo stepping in and he's gonna do a great job. 0:12:09.000 --> 0:12:13.680 He has a relationship, I would say, with everybody on defense, 0:12:13.840 --> 0:12:17.679 and you don't see that everywhere you go. Zeo passions 0:12:17.760 --> 0:12:21.760 himself on relationships and communication. He does. He's done a 0:12:21.840 --> 0:12:25.199 really good job of communicating what he wants done and 0:12:25.880 --> 0:12:26.559 you better do it. 0:12:28.920 --> 0:12:30.160 Some of the biggest differences you've seen. 0:12:33.760 --> 0:12:36.599 Yeah, I don't think I'll go into the specifics of 0:12:36.800 --> 0:12:41.280 that because you know, they both stem from the same tree, right, 0:12:41.520 --> 0:12:44.120 but they're both different at the same time. You know, 0:12:44.480 --> 0:12:47.720 Mike McDonald had his style and Zo has his style. 0:12:48.080 --> 0:12:51.679 I'm excited about Zeo's style. I think, uh, it's going 0:12:51.760 --> 0:12:55.760 to continue to flood into the NFL because of what 0:12:55.920 --> 0:12:58.880 they've been able to do here for so long, and 0:12:58.960 --> 0:13:01.840 I believe we're going to be a very very good defense. 0:13:02.120 --> 0:13:02.240 Uh. 0:13:02.600 --> 0:13:05.240 And it starts with him and then, uh, it starts 0:13:05.320 --> 0:13:08.160 with the rest of the players, executing all eleven of 0:13:08.320 --> 0:13:09.440 us each and every play. 0:13:10.040 --> 0:13:10.960 It seems like that can be. 0:13:11.000 --> 0:13:13.840 Kind of aggressive plays that kind of reality. 0:13:15.240 --> 0:13:16.560 Do you know he's aggressive? 0:13:18.920 --> 0:13:21.319 Do you think that the piece of his you know, 0:13:21.360 --> 0:13:23.520 as he calls plays, you know, his early years. 0:13:23.400 --> 0:13:26.640 That that can be the piece of Yeah. I he 0:13:26.800 --> 0:13:29.439 was a g aggressive player, So I think that's what 0:13:29.600 --> 0:13:33.720 you're gonna wanna see him as a decoordinator as be aggressive, 0:13:33.880 --> 0:13:38.080 But he's also gonna be He's really smart, very very smart. 0:13:38.120 --> 0:13:43.760 He knows defenses. Uh, he's he eats breeze, sleeps uh football. 0:13:43.880 --> 0:13:46.480 And that's what you want playing for a coach like 0:13:46.559 --> 0:13:50.800 that who has literally dedicated his I believe it's thirty 0:13:50.880 --> 0:13:53.240 two years now of just straight football. 0:13:54.400 --> 0:13:58.480 Where is your your thoughts on a young second player Robinson? Yeah, 0:13:58.559 --> 0:14:02.440 playing alongside what we see from him, you know his beat. 0:14:02.960 --> 0:14:06.600 Yeah, honestly getting better every day. And I know that's 0:14:06.679 --> 0:14:10.160 cliche to say, but he's honestly getting better each and 0:14:10.240 --> 0:14:14.319 every day. He's doing the right things. And I when 0:14:14.440 --> 0:14:19.240 every time you understand concepts and defenses and you graduate 0:14:19.360 --> 0:14:21.760 from football one on one to football one oh two, 0:14:22.200 --> 0:14:25.560 you're gonna see improvements. And I think just his familiarity 0:14:25.720 --> 0:14:29.040 of understanding the defense more and more each day, he's 0:14:29.040 --> 0:14:32.480 allowed to play faster, play with more confidence and swagger. 0:14:32.520 --> 0:14:34.920 And that's I think what we're gonna see this year, Kyle. 0:14:35.040 --> 0:14:37.920 Last year you just had to jump into action. This year, 0:14:37.920 --> 0:14:40.120 you're gonna spend more time with the team, the coaches, 0:14:40.200 --> 0:14:42.680 the staff. Like you said, are you finding benefits in that, 0:14:42.800 --> 0:14:45.000 both like for yourself and for your ability to lead 0:14:45.040 --> 0:14:45.560 the defense? 0:14:46.160 --> 0:14:51.040 Yeah, I think it's it's good because the I'd say 0:14:51.120 --> 0:14:53.760 this without you know, saying it in the wrong way. 0:14:53.840 --> 0:14:56.600 The bullets aren't flying yet, so you get you get 0:14:56.640 --> 0:14:59.720 a better understanding that things are a little bit more. 0:15:00.320 --> 0:15:04.080 You can build relationships you're not you know, on the field, 0:15:04.560 --> 0:15:07.920 you know, popping in week three actions, going on, hey, 0:15:08.160 --> 0:15:11.560 you know, what's your name type of deal. So it's 0:15:11.640 --> 0:15:14.760 fun to be around guys that I know and get 0:15:14.800 --> 0:15:17.000 to know them their families, hang out with them off 0:15:17.080 --> 0:15:21.080 the field, build that relationship to when things get on 0:15:21.200 --> 0:15:23.520 the field and a little hazy, you have a better 0:15:23.640 --> 0:15:31.640 understanding where each and every persons coming from. Way. 0:15:31.920 --> 0:15:34.120 You spent a lot of time with the You saw 0:15:34.200 --> 0:15:35.880 him obviously growing last year. 0:15:36.720 --> 0:15:40.480 Just knowing it's down and where where he could grow. 0:15:40.640 --> 0:15:43.760 Where do you think his ceiling is or how much 0:15:43.800 --> 0:15:45.520 better did he even from where he's already done. 0:15:45.680 --> 0:15:51.600 Yeah, he's impressive, man, He's a specimen. Really enjoyed working 0:15:51.680 --> 0:15:57.400 with him building that relationship. I think he kind of 0:15:58.440 --> 0:15:59.920 I try to keep him next to me all the 0:16:00.200 --> 0:16:04.680 time and make sure he's, you know, always pressing and 0:16:04.920 --> 0:16:08.320 doing the right thing. And you know, I expect high 0:16:08.440 --> 0:16:11.920 high I expect more from him than myself. You know, 0:16:12.480 --> 0:16:16.880 I really expect him to bounce off the charts this year. 0:16:17.600 --> 0:16:20.000 He showed a lot of signs last year, but I 0:16:20.160 --> 0:16:24.840 think him gaining confidence, you know, understanding who he is. 0:16:25.600 --> 0:16:29.600 He's still maturing. I just asked him how the hell 0:16:29.880 --> 0:16:32.160 old was he today? And he said twenty five, and 0:16:32.240 --> 0:16:35.920 I was like, oh, you know, it's amazing to see 0:16:36.040 --> 0:16:40.080 how mature he's gotten already. And I'm excited to see 0:16:40.120 --> 0:16:44.280 his future. And I'll be his cheerleader, that's for sure, 0:16:44.360 --> 0:16:47.840 because I'm I'm sorry I'm saying this again, but I'm 0:16:47.920 --> 0:16:50.880 really excited to see his how high of his ceiling 0:16:50.920 --> 0:16:51.480 he can get to. 0:16:52.760 --> 0:16:54.080 Well to ask last. 0:16:53.880 --> 0:16:57.760 Season, how much did that rejuvenate you in your career? 0:16:57.960 --> 0:17:00.880 And you're talking about expectations for oh Way, you know, 0:17:01.000 --> 0:17:04.520 coming off that year. What are the expectations for yourself coming. 0:17:04.320 --> 0:17:05.359 Into this season? 0:17:05.880 --> 0:17:09.440 Yeah, you know, I just want to continue to show 0:17:10.600 --> 0:17:13.119 myself and show people that I can still play at 0:17:13.160 --> 0:17:17.080 a high level. I feel like I've been underappreciated in 0:17:17.200 --> 0:17:20.840 my career. I feel like I don't think I've lost 0:17:20.920 --> 0:17:25.320 a step in my eyes just because I've I've been 0:17:25.480 --> 0:17:29.560 playing different positions my entire career. In college, I played 0:17:29.680 --> 0:17:31.960 on the ball, and then in the NFL for my 0:17:32.119 --> 0:17:35.840 first I think it was till twenty nineteen, I played 0:17:35.960 --> 0:17:38.280 off the ball, and I would love to see how 0:17:38.359 --> 0:17:41.680 many people could stay in the league making that transformation 0:17:42.040 --> 0:17:44.560 or I've been asked to do both in one season. 0:17:44.760 --> 0:17:46.800 So I've been asked to do a lot, and I 0:17:46.920 --> 0:17:50.320 think that may have hindered some things because I wasn't 0:17:50.359 --> 0:17:54.000 able to like focus on you know, pass rush or 0:17:54.320 --> 0:17:59.359 you know, you know, covering people. I was never able 0:17:59.400 --> 0:18:02.680 to focus on just one specific thing. And this year 0:18:03.640 --> 0:18:05.800 stemming to last year, I was able to focus on 0:18:05.960 --> 0:18:09.440 pass rushing that entire time. So I feel like, hopefully, 0:18:09.640 --> 0:18:12.600 you know, it'll be like my third year ever out 0:18:12.640 --> 0:18:14.760 of my eleven, then I get a focus on just 0:18:14.960 --> 0:18:19.120 pass rushing. The other year was in twenty nineteen where 0:18:19.119 --> 0:18:20.920 I had a really good year, and then last year 0:18:21.200 --> 0:18:24.840 was just all pass rush. So I'm expecting big things 0:18:24.880 --> 0:18:26.840 from myself and hopefully you guys are too. 0:18:29.880 --> 0:18:32.159 Safety Marcus Williams is also a really important player on 0:18:32.240 --> 0:18:34.720 this scene. He dealt with an injury last year that 0:18:34.800 --> 0:18:36.600 hindered him for much of the season, but he played 0:18:36.640 --> 0:18:38.639 through it. Clearly did not want to talk about his 0:18:38.760 --> 0:18:41.840 injury on Thursday. His focus is on the future. Here's 0:18:41.880 --> 0:18:44.399 what he had to say in his time with the media. 0:18:45.440 --> 0:18:58.679 Last year, the injury, how much I guess, how how 0:18:58.760 --> 0:19:00.520 much moment not the ball was it? 0:19:01.160 --> 0:19:05.960 You guys, Uh, injuries happened in the year, and you 0:19:06.080 --> 0:19:08.440 just got to overcome those injuries and you know, just 0:19:08.520 --> 0:19:10.680 push past them, which I think I'm pretty good at doing. 0:19:11.400 --> 0:19:13.240 Mark been one of those goal players. 0:19:12.960 --> 0:19:14.680 In the field the last couple of weeks. Is that 0:19:14.800 --> 0:19:17.120 your natural personality come out or are you more intentionally 0:19:17.119 --> 0:19:19.040 embracing that leadership role in the second Aarreya. 0:19:19.160 --> 0:19:21.280 I mean I've always been a leader, I've always been vocal. 0:19:21.480 --> 0:19:23.479
