Each player had a sheet with 8 00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:35,159 Speaker 1: five guys on it that you think were the best 9 00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:37,600 Speaker 1: leaders of the football team and put them one to five. 10 00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:40,640 Speaker 1: It was whoever that sorted out to be, that's who 11 00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:43,680 Speaker 1: it was going to be.

But you know, those five 21 00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:16,200 Speaker 1: guys got you know, i'd say, considerable amount of votes. 22 00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:18,560 Speaker 4: And I thought that was the right. 23 00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:18,840 Speaker 1: Thing to do. 24 00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:23,680 Speaker 2: I read the thing sing with THEO. 25 00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:27,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, anyone who's out here is can be practicing, and 26 00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:30,280 Speaker 1: the ones that aren't or getting ready to practice as 27 00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:30,959 Speaker 1: soon as they kind. 28 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:32,600 Speaker 3: Of feel good about a new being ready. 29 00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:34,840 Speaker 1: For the regular season, just taking it day by day. 30 00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:38,360 Speaker 2: That's the fact that you guys didn't keep Delsich a 31 00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:41,080 Speaker 2: sign that he is in good shape. 32 00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:43,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'd say the guys that are out here of 33 00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:45,920 Speaker 1: practicing are practicing and the other ones are working hard 34 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:48,920 Speaker 1: to get back like normal out. 35 00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:51,520 Speaker 2: Of Andrew here.

Again, 37 00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:58,520 Speaker 1: he's day by day, he's getting better every day. You know, 38 00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:01,440 Speaker 1: sometimes we pull back off him the next day, but 39 00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:03,240 Speaker 1: he's you know, he's doing everything he can do is 40 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:04,000 Speaker 1: be as ready as he. 41 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:04,320 Speaker 3: Can be. 42 00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:08,200 Speaker 1: Day by day. 43 00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:12,440 Speaker 3: They were just saying he's in the right direction at least. 44 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:14,760 Speaker 1: Just say day by day, he's working hard to get better. 45 00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:20,120 Speaker 2: You know, you can you know, he was turning. 46 00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:22,520 Speaker 4: He's in the entire sumthing, working and feeling good about 47 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:25,840 Speaker 4: what you had on the offensive line. I'm just curious, 48 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:31,280 Speaker 4: for a player of his caliber, how much Layman's terms, 49 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:33,960 Speaker 4: how much can that affect an entire offense. When you 50 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:37,880 Speaker 4: put a player of Andrews caliber at left tackle, from what. 51 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:42,040 Speaker 1: You want to do offense, Yeah, i'd say, are the 52 00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:45,320 Speaker 1: guys that have been practicing, Hudd and bow have been 53 00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:49,880 Speaker 1: doing a very good job of playing their respective roles. 54 00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:51,960 Speaker 1: And that's what you expect out of a team. Obviously, 55 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,640 Speaker 1: you want every one of your your top players to 56 00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:56,680 Speaker 1: be out there. And he's doing everything he can do 57 00:02:56,760 --> 00:03:00,640 Speaker 1: at this point in time to keep improving. And you know, 58 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,079 Speaker 1: the guys that are behind him on the depth chart 59 00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:05,880 Speaker 1: also doing a good job. But of course you would 60 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:08,639 Speaker 1: love to have You'd love to have all your top 61 00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:09,360 Speaker 1: guys out there. 62 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:12,880 Speaker 5: But bo, how is he coming along with that? Obviously 63 00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:14,680 Speaker 5: still learning a lot, but you see like he's speaking 64 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:15,399 Speaker 5: of things very well. 65 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:18,400 Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, it's a nice to have carm and James, 66 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:21,519 Speaker 1: and you give credit to the player. He's improves each day, 67 00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:26,120 Speaker 1: has the right mindset, has some toughness about him. So developing, 68 00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:27,160 Speaker 1: developing well. 69 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:32,400 Speaker 2: Already going to the fields altogether. And I'm just curious, we're 70 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 2: you guys doing unusual. We were talking. 71 00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:44,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, good observation. Dan can't put along by you. Yeah, 72 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:46,280 Speaker 1: so the. 73 00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:50,920 Speaker 3: Guys after practice, you know, grouped up talking some. 74 00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:53,160 Speaker 4: Vociferously. 75 00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:56,400 Speaker 3: Uh, what do you make about guys saying after practice 76 00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:58,680 Speaker 3: getting that extra kind of going over a lot of 77 00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:01,440 Speaker 3: the stuff that whatever it is, the Yeah, they do that. 78 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:05,200 Speaker 1: They do that on a regular basis throughout training camp. 79 00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:08,720 Speaker 1: Whether it's routes, whether it's talk about particularly things that happened, 80 00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,280 Speaker 1: good leadership amongst the players. 81 00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 3: That's what I like. 82 00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:19,440 Speaker 4: Where teams got more successful than others. 83 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,200 Speaker 1: Well, I just think it's important to the guys that 84 00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:27,039 Speaker 1: are out there and whether it's a route technique, whether 85 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:31,200 Speaker 1: it's a combo coverage, whether it's a quarterback with the 86 00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:33,960 Speaker 1: offensive line, I think that it's good for those guys. 87 00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,760 Speaker 1: If something's fresh in your mind, you know it's player driven. 88 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:39,800 Speaker 1: And I think player driven leadership is important. 89 00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:42,919 Speaker 2: To see more fiery personalities than that quarterback room than 90 00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:44,680 Speaker 2: Ben there for a long time. Do you think that's 91 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:47,000 Speaker 2: a good thing in that room to have a real 92 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:50,120 Speaker 2: vocal guy likely in Russell Thinklynn. 93 00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:52,800 Speaker 1: You know I've been I've been on teams with all 94 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:55,800 Speaker 1: different types of quarterbacks that that have different personalities. I 95 00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:57,640 Speaker 1: think the most important thing in that room is to, 96 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:00,839 Speaker 1: you know, make sure you're prepared. Each player has a 97 00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:04,640 Speaker 1: different leadership style, and I encourage them to be themselves. 98 00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:07,640 Speaker 5: On that note, do you usually do elaborate more, Do 99 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:09,919 Speaker 5: you usually coax it out of younger players to step 100 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 5: up and be leaders in that way or do you 101 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:12,360 Speaker 5: like for them to kind of show it on their 102 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:14,080 Speaker 5: own just from being around others. 103 00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:16,400 Speaker 1: Well, I think it's good if you have veteran leaders 104 00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:19,039 Speaker 1: on your football team, guys that have gone out and 105 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:21,279 Speaker 1: done it, you know, for a while. And I think 106 00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:23,719 Speaker 1: we have a number of those players. That's what young 107 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:27,360 Speaker 1: players gravitate towards. Good examples of guys that have been 108 00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:29,479 Speaker 1: in the league for a while or have performed at 109 00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:31,599 Speaker 1: a high level that you know, not just inside the 110 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:36,120 Speaker 1: building or learning a system, but managing your daily habits 111 00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:39,960 Speaker 1: and setting a standard for yourself. And I think, you know, 112 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,200 Speaker 1: those young guys are are following right along with some 113 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,279 Speaker 1: of our older guys we've got. And you know, the 114 00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:45,839 Speaker 1: young guys got to go out there and do it 115 00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:48,560 Speaker 1: as well. But you know they're swimming a lot. Young 116 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:51,040 Speaker 1: guys are learning, moving to a new spot, learning new 117 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:54,160 Speaker 1: new system, you know, being the young guy, the new 118 00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:56,880 Speaker 1: guy on the team. So the more veteran leaders you 119 00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:00,560 Speaker 1: can have, i'd say that's that's good for your foot. 120 00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:02,520 Speaker 5: On that note, do you see that way from Malak 121 00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:04,480 Speaker 5: in particular, just kind of how he's being more vocal 122 00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:05,960 Speaker 5: for us, said he's being more v Would he see 123 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 5: that God's loving off him a little bit more? Is it? 124 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:09,760 Speaker 4: What? What do you see from that? 125 00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:14,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, Malak's one of our best players. So you love 126 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:17,320 Speaker 1: your best players to be you know, good leaders too. 127 00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:21,000 Speaker 1: I think Neighbors has taken a step in this offseason 128 00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 1: in a positive way with his habits and how he 129 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:27,560 Speaker 1: does things outside of the building, the way he takes 130 00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:30,120 Speaker 1: care of his body, how he is in the meeting 131 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:33,960 Speaker 1: rooms of communication. He's had leaks in a nice job. 132 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:40,000 Speaker 3: What'd you see from Tyrone? Tracy Jeff's service first summer 133 00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:41,719 Speaker 3: as starter. 134 00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:46,440 Speaker 1: Pro, young pro again, it's helpful with Motor in there 135 00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:48,560 Speaker 1: with him. You know, Motor's been around the block and 136 00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:52,200 Speaker 1: the ultimate pro. And I think Tracy's really developed in 137 00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:54,280 Speaker 1: that area as well, coming into a second here much 138 00:06:54,360 --> 00:07:01,479 Speaker 1: like Malik on time on top of his information, hard practicer, 139 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:06,760 Speaker 1: so he's make good steps, good strides, more. 140 00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:11,920 Speaker 3: Ho good no more you know any group, But like, 141 00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:16,080 Speaker 3: don't you know, I didn't get any trouble any fights 142 00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:19,440 Speaker 3: the next few days, just with guys having so many 143 00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:21,880 Speaker 3: days off, what's your message in the team and how 144 00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:24,280 Speaker 3: did you handle this mini break and how they handle 145 00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:26,520 Speaker 3: getting ready for the season at the same time with 146 00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:27,400 Speaker 3: so many days. 147 00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:29,080 Speaker 1: Off, And yeah, and you put a lot of time 148 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:33,240 Speaker 1: and effort into getting to this point and doing you know, 149 00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:37,040 Speaker 1: all the right things or this offseason program, the OTA practices. 150 00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:40,480 Speaker 1: We've got a good training camp into the preseason. I 151 00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:43,200 Speaker 1: had a number of individuals today speak to the team 152 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:48,680 Speaker 1: or had nutritionists, our had security, our had trainer, had 153 00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:53,680 Speaker 1: strength and conditioning coach.
