7
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:28,120
Speaker 2: our best foot forward. What questions you have.

8
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:31,080
Speaker 3: So we're gonna have to be introduced to it's been

9
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:33,479
Speaker 3: it's been a while since you've actually played there. How

10
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:35,800
Speaker 3: it's going to feel to be back at home, you know,

11
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:37,080
Speaker 3: after being such a long vitual.

12
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:40,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're looking forward to it. Excited about our fans,

13
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 2: you know, be back with our fans. I hope they're

14
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:46,880
Speaker 2: out in full force and and and rolling and loud

15
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 2: and making it everything that M ANDT Bank can be.

16
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 2: You know. That's that's what we're excited about.

17
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:53,000
Speaker 3: John.

18
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:54,880
Speaker 4: We'll get to see Brandon Stevens on the other side.

19
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:56,880
Speaker 4: I know there's a business element when a player leaves,

20
00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:59,000
Speaker 4: but is there some pride you take in someone who

21
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,360
Speaker 4: develops like that gets some contract and I think he's

22
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 4: played like all but one defensive snap for them this year.

23
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:05,760
Speaker 2: It really is there, really really is, Luke. I mean,

24
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:08,319
Speaker 2: it's it's something that you do kind of appreciate because

25
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 2: Brandon's a guy came in and we took a chance

26
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:13,480
Speaker 2: really as a fourth round pick, and he was a

27
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 2: guy that was new to the position in college even

28
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:20,039
Speaker 2: and works so hard, so diligent, so dedicated, became a

29
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 2: really good player and and then, like you said, had

30
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 2: an opportunity to go there and sign a great contract

31
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:27,759
Speaker 2: and doing so well seemon tape. He's playing really well.

32
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:30,920
Speaker 2: Very proud of him, but he's on the other side

33
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 2: in this next game, and we respect him and be

34
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 2: a great competition.

35
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 5: John. Whether it's because of injuries or just roster situation,

36
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 5: David Jabo hasn't played extensively like he has until this year,

37
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 5: where he's playing a lot of snaps each and every game.

38
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 5: How do you evaluate what he's been able to do

39
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 5: over the last month or so since he started getting

40
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 5: regular snaps.

41
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 2: Great question. Yeah, he's he has and I think he's

42
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 2: playing very well in terms of what he's been asked

43
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 2: to do. He's been out there a lot on first

44
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 2: and second down, on rundowns and uh and and what

45
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:08,799
Speaker 2: we call get back on track and any second second

46
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 2: medium to second long downs. He's done well. Uh, I

47
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 2: think he's done really good job. I mean he's earning

48
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:16,680
Speaker 2: more and more playing time as he goes. It's good

49
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 2: to see. And uh, I know he wants to get

50
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:20,359
Speaker 2: to the quarterback too and get a chance to rush

51
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 2: the pass or too. So all those things with the.

52
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 3: Linebacker wrot turned Simpson. This seems like he's kind of

53
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 3: been playing more and more on the outside. What have

54
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 3: you thought of his development as he's gotten more reps

55
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 3: over there?

56
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:33,919
Speaker 2: Dude, that's I guess it's it's interesting you guys ask

57
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 2: the question kind of back to back because that one

58
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 2: thing impacts another. You know, Trent's going on to the

59
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:40,919
Speaker 2: edge a lot, and he's playing that in the pass

60
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:42,919
Speaker 2: rush role as well. And that package that we put

61
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 2: out there, Uh so it takes takes opportunities away from

62
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 2: some of the other defensive ends. And he's done a

63
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:49,519
Speaker 2: great job. He got the he got the quarterback hitting

64
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:52,519
Speaker 2: the last game and forced the intentional grounding. Uh he's done.

65
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 2: He's done some other things. He can also drop in coverage.

66
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 2: I think it's pretty versatile. It's added a lot to

67
00:02:58,000 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 2: our defense. Are good.

68
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 3: I think as far as like the sentence of big plays,

69
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 3: I think the second day at donthy deel out there

70
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 3: a brief hall being an explosive batch, I think is

71
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 3: percentage of the big big bones, or like second only

72
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 3: doth the keeler. When you go against an explosive back

73
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 3: like that, what's kind of the you know what a

74
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 3: key you stress to your defense game?

75
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:19,960
Speaker 2: Well, I mean it's you know, all the things that

76
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 2: you see. I mean, each one of the backs is

77
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 2: somewhat different. But the thing that they all the explosive

78
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:27,360
Speaker 2: quote unquote explosive backs usually have in common is that

79
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,639
Speaker 2: they can really run fast. You know. Now there's different styles.

80
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 2: Some guys are slasher, some guys make you miss and

81
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 2: dance and different things, but they all run real hard.

82
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 2: They're all pretty physical. All these guys can run through tackles.

83
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 2: They can all you know, bring a defense in and boom,

84
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 2: take it outside to the edge real quickly. You saw

85
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 2: that last week as well. Or take it to the

86
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 2: back door on you and get past you. I mean,

87
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 2: those are things we have to we have to account for.

88
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 6: We have to.

89
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 2: Leverage the runner, we have to leverage the blockers, but

90
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 2: we also have to leverage the runner, because the runner

91
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 2: can get away from me if you don't. So it's

92
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 2: a big point of emphasis in this game.

93
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 4: We haven't seen Bateman of practice the last two weeks.

94
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 4: How's he progressing, especially with having in mind a quick

95
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 4: turnaround for Cincinnati next Thursday.

96
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 2: Right, he's progressing well, would have a chance for that.

97
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 2: We'll have to see how that goes.

98
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 7: Johns program kicks off this week and you have a

99
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 7: lot of guys involved in it, and we watched guys

100
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 7: yesterday's seen the cleats for the first time. It was

101
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 7: very emotional because a lot of them, you know, have causes, cancer,

102
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,360
Speaker 7: suicide prevention. I mean, what does that mean? It makes

103
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 7: you proud to have guys that are actually again you're

104
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 7: always involved in the community.

105
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 5: But this is something else.

106
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 2: It really does. I mean, you just I mean, guys

107
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:36,160
Speaker 2: play on the field and they're out there and they're

108
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 2: competing and we're all you know, fans and fans are

109
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 2: right there with you, you know, fighting for the cause

110
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:42,919
Speaker 2: of trying to win a football game, you know, the

111
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 2: cause of being a raven and a fan in football

112
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:47,600
Speaker 2: and all that. And then behind the scenes, you know,

113
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:51,599
Speaker 2: these guys are coaches and players you know, they're they're people,

114
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:53,280
Speaker 2: you know, and they've got lives and they've got things

115
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:56,839
Speaker 2: that matter to them, whether it's family members who've had

116
00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:00,840
Speaker 2: different tribulations that they fought through and trials in their

117
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 2: life and honoring them in that way, or certain causes

118
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 2: that have impacted them in their life. So for the

119
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 2: league to give the opportunity to share that, you know,

120
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 2: with the cleats, I think is really really cool and

121
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,719
Speaker 2: really neat and yeah you do you see it. I

122
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 2: mean we have people that people do a great job

123
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 2: with the artwork. It's pretty crazy the cleats, and a

124
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 2: lot of times you get auctioned off too right for fundraising,

125
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:24,560
