WEBVTT - Press Pass: Bill Davis

0:00:09.360 --> 0:00:11.680
<v Speaker 1>I would guess that's probably fair, but I don't know

0:00:11.760 --> 0:00:14.880
<v Speaker 1>the fact he's uh uh he's not here today or

0:00:14.880 --> 0:00:18.360
<v Speaker 1>he's not out here in practice. Said that he's fine,

0:00:18.720 --> 0:00:21.200
<v Speaker 1>it's fine. I've got no words about Kol. He'll be alright,

0:00:22.000 --> 0:00:27.720
<v Speaker 1>just being cautious. That's our any ideas everything. I don't

0:00:27.760 --> 0:00:30.200
<v Speaker 1>know all the details. Uh, but I just know he's

0:00:30.200 --> 0:00:32.320
<v Speaker 1>not out here today, but I'm not concerned about him

0:00:32.320 --> 0:00:37.720
<v Speaker 1>at all. I was progress couple days. Good. You know.

0:00:37.720 --> 0:00:39.760
<v Speaker 1>We just threw him in there right now. The plan,

0:00:39.880 --> 0:00:42.680
<v Speaker 1>guys is to have the corners uh moving and out

0:00:42.680 --> 0:00:45.560
<v Speaker 1>of that nickel spot. They've been training since the off season.

0:00:45.640 --> 0:00:48.199
<v Speaker 1>We haven't put Eric in there due to the injury. Though.

0:00:48.200 --> 0:00:51.120
<v Speaker 1>We threw Eric in there. Uh. Eric's a real bright

0:00:51.200 --> 0:00:53.520
<v Speaker 1>young man and he said two days under his belt,

0:00:53.560 --> 0:00:56.360
<v Speaker 1>maybe eight to ten reps. So we's got a lot

0:00:56.400 --> 0:00:59.120
<v Speaker 1>of reps to go. But uh, so far, so good.

0:00:59.280 --> 0:01:01.200
<v Speaker 1>You know, we'll we got we're early in camp. Still

0:01:03.200 --> 0:01:06.640
<v Speaker 1>this year compares at this point last year's way ahead

0:01:06.720 --> 0:01:08.840
<v Speaker 1>where he was. And I think the biggest thing that

0:01:08.959 --> 0:01:11.319
<v Speaker 1>changes from a rookie year, especially when you end up

0:01:11.319 --> 0:01:16.319
<v Speaker 1>in that first round draft pick, pressure mode, the confidence

0:01:16.400 --> 0:01:18.600
<v Speaker 1>level and the pressure you put on yourself and others

0:01:18.640 --> 0:01:21.080
<v Speaker 1>are putting on you kind of calms a little bit,

0:01:21.240 --> 0:01:23.440
<v Speaker 1>or you actually have some coping skills to where you

0:01:23.440 --> 0:01:26.320
<v Speaker 1>can handle it and still function and play and put

0:01:26.319 --> 0:01:28.639
<v Speaker 1>your focus on the football part. And I think Marcus

0:01:28.720 --> 0:01:31.640
<v Speaker 1>has got his focus on the football part and controlling

0:01:31.760 --> 0:01:34.240
<v Speaker 1>what he can control, and he's in a much better place.

0:01:34.640 --> 0:01:39.119
<v Speaker 1>He's playing faster, he's reacting faster, he's seeing the field better,

0:01:39.160 --> 0:01:42.760
<v Speaker 1>and those are all indications that he's really taking some

0:01:42.840 --> 0:01:45.679
<v Speaker 1>big leaps forward. Your points last year where you know,

0:01:45.720 --> 0:01:48.080
<v Speaker 1>because of injuries and various issues, you were moving them

0:01:48.080 --> 0:01:51.080
<v Speaker 1>inside outside us you would said you weren't quite sure

0:01:51.160 --> 0:01:53.280
<v Speaker 1>what he would be Ultimately, could you have a better

0:01:53.320 --> 0:01:56.040
<v Speaker 1>feel now where you'd like to happen. I believe he's

0:01:56.040 --> 0:01:59.440
<v Speaker 1>an outside backers, that's who he is. But the good

0:01:59.440 --> 0:02:02.000
<v Speaker 1>pieces he can swing, and in this scheme you see

0:02:02.000 --> 0:02:05.120
<v Speaker 1>we swing a lot of guys, and it's a when

0:02:05.120 --> 0:02:07.920
<v Speaker 1>you have a person has the ability again it's a

0:02:07.960 --> 0:02:11.280
<v Speaker 1>mental and a physical ability to play inside and out,

0:02:11.800 --> 0:02:14.960
<v Speaker 1>it just makes us stronger. It actually gives the linebacker

0:02:15.040 --> 0:02:18.320
<v Speaker 1>himself a much broader understanding of the defense because those

0:02:18.320 --> 0:02:22.080
<v Speaker 1>guys inside are our quarterbacks. The guys outside listen to calls.

0:02:22.080 --> 0:02:24.640
<v Speaker 1>The guys inside make calls, and when you have to

0:02:24.680 --> 0:02:27.639
<v Speaker 1>make the calls, then you moved to the position of listening.

0:02:28.000 --> 0:02:30.200
<v Speaker 1>You have a much better understanding of why and what

0:02:30.360 --> 0:02:35.360
<v Speaker 1>is about to be called? Why? Why we branding brand?

0:02:35.360 --> 0:02:38.880
<v Speaker 1>Because you tectually make the ten promote a poor free

0:02:39.040 --> 0:02:41.080
<v Speaker 1>ends who a three pore out a lot to I

0:02:41.120 --> 0:02:43.960
<v Speaker 1>think is athleticism. The one thing that you get into

0:02:44.000 --> 0:02:47.680
<v Speaker 1>when you try to convert defensive ends to linebackers, and

0:02:47.760 --> 0:02:49.799
<v Speaker 1>you really you test them when you go to work

0:02:49.840 --> 0:02:52.040
<v Speaker 1>them out in colleges. You test them moving backwards. How

0:02:52.080 --> 0:02:55.440
<v Speaker 1>athletic are they going backwards? And Brandon's a good all

0:02:55.480 --> 0:02:59.280
<v Speaker 1>around athlete and his ability to both mentally absorb the

0:02:59.320 --> 0:03:03.239
<v Speaker 1>outside back you stand up role and physically handle the

0:03:03.320 --> 0:03:06.040
<v Speaker 1>moving backwards. That's the biggest piece, the backward moving piece,

0:03:06.280 --> 0:03:08.320
<v Speaker 1>and the brain is athletic enough to do that. So

0:03:08.520 --> 0:03:11.160
<v Speaker 1>we saw a lot of them change in pum the

0:03:11.200 --> 0:03:15.480
<v Speaker 1>offensive side of the ball. We've seen it on your

0:03:15.480 --> 0:03:18.840
<v Speaker 1>side of the balls. That do you look at this

0:03:18.960 --> 0:03:21.480
<v Speaker 1>now and saying, hey, I've got kind of a crew

0:03:21.639 --> 0:03:24.040
<v Speaker 1>I like a little bit more that you can do

0:03:24.080 --> 0:03:26.680
<v Speaker 1>what I want to do compared to maybe last year

0:03:26.800 --> 0:03:30.440
<v Speaker 1>here before that. I think defensively first, I think it

0:03:30.480 --> 0:03:34.040
<v Speaker 1>starts more from a WEE conversation, a collective we as

0:03:34.040 --> 0:03:37.160
<v Speaker 1>a staff, and then it's who you have on your

0:03:37.280 --> 0:03:40.600
<v Speaker 1>roster and you try to take advantage of the talents

0:03:40.600 --> 0:03:42.840
<v Speaker 1>they have. It kind of changes are we are we

0:03:42.880 --> 0:03:45.120
<v Speaker 1>moving some talents more suited to some of the things

0:03:45.240 --> 0:03:47.480
<v Speaker 1>we think? Yeah, you say we're moving that direction, but

0:03:47.480 --> 0:03:50.760
<v Speaker 1>that's what you do naturally in your selection process. But

0:03:50.800 --> 0:03:53.120
<v Speaker 1>when you inherited team in the NFL and you're playing

0:03:53.120 --> 0:03:55.520
<v Speaker 1>with the hand you're delt are, you're trying to make

0:03:55.600 --> 0:03:58.000
<v Speaker 1>those those pieces do what they do the best. So

0:03:58.320 --> 0:04:00.240
<v Speaker 1>it's we can move a little bit, but in jury

0:04:00.360 --> 0:04:02.960
<v Speaker 1>sometimes cause that same thing to go back the other way.

0:04:03.080 --> 0:04:04.720
<v Speaker 1>That's the one thing you have to have a flexible

0:04:04.720 --> 0:04:07.600
<v Speaker 1>scheme because injuries can push you in all different directions.

0:04:07.600 --> 0:04:12.520
<v Speaker 1>And that's what I mean. Would it be fair to

0:04:12.520 --> 0:04:17.240
<v Speaker 1>expect a tangible and sizeable improvement disease given that, Okay,

0:04:17.240 --> 0:04:18.880
<v Speaker 1>you had a couple of years under your gut. Now

0:04:19.880 --> 0:04:22.080
<v Speaker 1>you had a chance to evaluate what you had, and

0:04:22.120 --> 0:04:23.920
<v Speaker 1>you had an opportunity now to go get a guy

0:04:23.960 --> 0:04:26.599
<v Speaker 1>like your axtual to say, Okay, we can do better

0:04:26.600 --> 0:04:30.839
<v Speaker 1>than Harry Bradley and the ass. We're hoping that that's

0:04:30.839 --> 0:04:33.320
<v Speaker 1>the goal, but the game will tell us if we're

0:04:33.360 --> 0:04:35.760
<v Speaker 1>there or not. So right now, the expectation is yes,

0:04:35.839 --> 0:04:38.880
<v Speaker 1>to answer that question, but it's also Atlanta will tell

0:04:38.920 --> 0:04:45.119
<v Speaker 1>us where we are. Don't you want Maxwell's round the copper.

0:04:46.200 --> 0:04:49.359
<v Speaker 1>We'll mix that up more this year. Yeah, yeah, because

0:04:49.360 --> 0:04:54.320
<v Speaker 1>of Maxwell still said yeah, yeah, but yeah, you know

0:04:54.360 --> 0:04:56.320
<v Speaker 1>we traveled carry last year on a game or two

0:04:56.440 --> 0:04:58.240
<v Speaker 1>the last game of the year. I mean, he did

0:04:58.279 --> 0:04:59.960
<v Speaker 1>that and we had ability too. But you have to

0:05:00.000 --> 0:05:03.400
<v Speaker 1>I really see a you know, a difference. You're you know,

0:05:03.440 --> 0:05:05.080
<v Speaker 1>a reason why to do that and take them out

0:05:05.080 --> 0:05:07.400
<v Speaker 1>because a lot of times those guys getting a nice

0:05:07.440 --> 0:05:09.360
<v Speaker 1>little pattern of their footwork and the left and right

0:05:09.760 --> 0:05:11.640
<v Speaker 1>every day of practice. Last year, the first year, we

0:05:11.680 --> 0:05:14.160
<v Speaker 1>always switched them right and left every other day, so

0:05:14.279 --> 0:05:17.280
<v Speaker 1>their footwork is we can do that at any time

0:05:17.320 --> 0:05:20.920
<v Speaker 1>we choose to. Mary, seeing everybody come out and holding

0:05:21.520 --> 0:05:24.440
<v Speaker 1>what are you really looking for in the first preseason game,

0:05:25.920 --> 0:05:30.719
<v Speaker 1>I'm looking for the tackling piece. To me, because you

0:05:30.760 --> 0:05:34.960
<v Speaker 1>don't see that the communication when the lights are on

0:05:35.080 --> 0:05:37.839
<v Speaker 1>who can communicate and then tell the guys all the time.

0:05:37.920 --> 0:05:42.720
<v Speaker 1>It's it's about evaluating your ability combined with your coach ability.

0:05:43.240 --> 0:05:46.279
<v Speaker 1>We've got in defense playing great defenses, eleven guys playing

0:05:46.400 --> 0:05:49.159
<v Speaker 1>is one. So there's the communication, there's the effort to

0:05:49.160 --> 0:05:51.599
<v Speaker 1>the ball. There's the technique. Are you down in and

0:05:51.680 --> 0:05:54.599
<v Speaker 1>down out consistently using the technique we've been working on

0:05:54.640 --> 0:05:57.400
<v Speaker 1>this whole offseason, we've been working on in training camp.

0:05:57.600 --> 0:05:59.800
<v Speaker 1>So if you'll show that you are you can handle

0:05:59.839 --> 0:06:04.440
<v Speaker 1>your spot using the techniques, alignments, communication, all the things

0:06:04.480 --> 0:06:06.800
<v Speaker 1>we've taught you that, that's a big plus. You don't

0:06:06.839 --> 0:06:08.600
<v Speaker 1>have to give us a bunch of wild plays to

0:06:08.720 --> 0:06:11.280
<v Speaker 1>impress us. We've got to see that the defense in

0:06:11.560 --> 0:06:13.640
<v Speaker 1>its hole, the eleven guys are doing what they're supposed

0:06:13.640 --> 0:06:18.039
<v Speaker 1>to do. Back on last season, how did you evaluate

0:06:18.080 --> 0:06:20.840
<v Speaker 1>your performance on first and second down contrary with the

0:06:20.960 --> 0:06:24.680
<v Speaker 1>third down? And what changes are you making going forward

0:06:24.800 --> 0:06:29.560
<v Speaker 1>with a new personality. We've expanded some packages. First and

0:06:29.600 --> 0:06:32.920
<v Speaker 1>second down. Run game was very strong. The pass game

0:06:32.960 --> 0:06:35.160
<v Speaker 1>again to both third down and first second down. The

0:06:35.760 --> 0:06:38.160
<v Speaker 1>vertical passing game, the big X play is what our

0:06:38.240 --> 0:06:41.080
<v Speaker 1>biggest Achilles heal was and That's the biggest thing we've

0:06:41.120 --> 0:06:44.400
<v Speaker 1>focused on in the offseason, because we really are solid

0:06:44.440 --> 0:06:46.040
<v Speaker 1>on third down. We could be a little bit better

0:06:46.160 --> 0:06:48.520
<v Speaker 1>in all of them. Red zone. We gave up too

0:06:48.520 --> 0:06:50.680
<v Speaker 1>many touchdowns, but I think that's also attached to the

0:06:50.680 --> 0:06:53.240
<v Speaker 1>big passing play. So we've got some areas that we

0:06:53.240 --> 0:06:55.440
<v Speaker 1>were strong and and we want to continue to build on.

0:06:55.880 --> 0:06:57.400
<v Speaker 1>But it gets back to what I keep saying about

0:06:57.400 --> 0:07:00.360
<v Speaker 1>the Atlanta game. Tell us where we are. This is

0:07:00.400 --> 0:07:03.000
<v Speaker 1>a new year, and it's all those stats from last

0:07:03.040 --> 0:07:05.520
<v Speaker 1>year raced and we start writing our new story this year,

0:07:05.560 --> 0:07:07.800
<v Speaker 1>and hopefully we're ahead of where we were last year.

0:07:09.720 --> 0:07:12.800
<v Speaker 1>From a defensive perspective, what are what's the chatter amongst

0:07:12.840 --> 0:07:16.360
<v Speaker 1>the defensive bacs. What are you see? I'm highly impressed

0:07:16.440 --> 0:07:19.040
<v Speaker 1>with Sam. I always have been. I've always known the

0:07:19.080 --> 0:07:21.680
<v Speaker 1>skill set that man's guy. I was a defensive coordinator

0:07:21.680 --> 0:07:24.760
<v Speaker 1>Arizona his rookie year. The first game he played Pat

0:07:24.800 --> 0:07:27.760
<v Speaker 1>Tchurmer was a coordinator and we blitzed him. I blitzed

0:07:27.800 --> 0:07:32.440
<v Speaker 1>Adrian Wilson off the edge probably ten times to fifteen.

0:07:32.720 --> 0:07:35.320
<v Speaker 1>He kept hitting Sam and hitting Sam, and I must

0:07:35.360 --> 0:07:36.880
<v Speaker 1>have been the third quarter Adrian comes over to me

0:07:36.920 --> 0:07:38.800
<v Speaker 1>and says, hey, Billy d So we're in for a

0:07:38.840 --> 0:07:40.800
<v Speaker 1>long one. He said, this boy's not rattle. I keep

0:07:40.840 --> 0:07:42.240
<v Speaker 1>hitting him what everything I have, and he would just

0:07:42.240 --> 0:07:45.360
<v Speaker 1>won't rattle. I can't I can't shake him. So we

0:07:45.440 --> 0:07:47.680
<v Speaker 1>knew right then that Sam was, you know, has the

0:07:47.720 --> 0:07:50.760
<v Speaker 1>mental toughness and capacity. And then his throwing a bill.

0:07:50.840 --> 0:07:52.560
<v Speaker 1>He just got to watch practice to know that he's

0:07:53.080 --> 0:07:57.800
<v Speaker 1>uh he throws a real accurate, real pretty ball after

0:07:57.840 --> 0:08:03.360
<v Speaker 1>a quarterback like that, and you know it's yeah, uh.

0:08:03.720 --> 0:08:05.480
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if anyone's prone to injury or not

0:08:05.520 --> 0:08:07.200
<v Speaker 1>just because they have injuries. I mean, that's just a

0:08:07.240 --> 0:08:09.800
<v Speaker 1>bug that happens there at the NFL. There's very few

0:08:09.800 --> 0:08:11.760
<v Speaker 1>guys on a roster that hasn't had a litany of

0:08:11.800 --> 0:08:19.560
<v Speaker 1>injuries in their pro career. Do you go after them more? Well,

0:08:19.880 --> 0:08:22.760
<v Speaker 1>any of those guys, I mean, Sam wasn't mobile in

0:08:22.880 --> 0:08:25.840
<v Speaker 1>his you know before any you know, he's mobile enough.

0:08:25.880 --> 0:08:27.600
<v Speaker 1>But there's some guys you know they're going to be

0:08:27.640 --> 0:08:30.400
<v Speaker 1>in that pocket. You know when some guys you keep

0:08:30.440 --> 0:08:32.240
<v Speaker 1>bringing after bringing it. Really what you're looking at is

0:08:32.240 --> 0:08:34.880
<v Speaker 1>where they where's their comfort zone and thrown if it's

0:08:34.880 --> 0:08:37.200
<v Speaker 1>stepping up in the middle and not escaping. Then you

0:08:37.280 --> 0:08:39.760
<v Speaker 1>bring pressure up the middle, you try to move them

0:08:39.760 --> 0:08:42.839
<v Speaker 1>off their spot and disrupt their timing. So injury or

0:08:42.880 --> 0:08:46.120
<v Speaker 1>no injuries really about more mobility nor mobility that Peyton

0:08:46.120 --> 0:08:48.200
<v Speaker 1>Manning done that mobility, but he never gets sacked. You

0:08:48.200 --> 0:08:51.360
<v Speaker 1>know those guys, The conversation is more about his overall

0:08:51.400 --> 0:08:56.760
<v Speaker 1>mobility than if there's an injury or not. Jalen Watkins

0:08:56.920 --> 0:09:00.320
<v Speaker 1>is kind of u with Marcus Smith and that taking

0:09:00.360 --> 0:09:02.520
<v Speaker 1>a big step, and then you probably need to count

0:09:02.559 --> 0:09:04.240
<v Speaker 1>on them a little bit more this year. Yeah, we do.

0:09:04.360 --> 0:09:07.400
<v Speaker 1>You know, Jalen's is a very intelligent young man and

0:09:07.440 --> 0:09:10.360
<v Speaker 1>has not the ability to play nickel corner and safety.

0:09:10.400 --> 0:09:13.719
<v Speaker 1>So we're impressing again. He's taken another They know what's

0:09:13.760 --> 0:09:15.960
<v Speaker 1>coming at him now, so they can relax and be

0:09:16.000 --> 0:09:18.800
<v Speaker 1>more of themselves and let a rip a little more game.

0:09:18.840 --> 0:09:21.199
<v Speaker 1>Where are you with the inside linebackers? You know, it

0:09:21.360 --> 0:09:22.800
<v Speaker 1>looks like she goes not gonna be able to go.

0:09:22.920 --> 0:09:28.040
<v Speaker 1>Jamiko set out yesterday. Kendricks hasn't really been practicing fully.

0:09:28.800 --> 0:09:33.640
<v Speaker 1>He's gonna have whoever's left. We'll have whoever I believe

0:09:33.640 --> 0:09:36.959
<v Speaker 1>we're going in and if Michael plays great, But even

0:09:37.000 --> 0:09:39.040
<v Speaker 1>if the starters are playing, we don't know. It's usually

0:09:39.040 --> 0:09:42.720
<v Speaker 1>a limited role. So the preseason is awesome for my

0:09:42.760 --> 0:09:45.480
<v Speaker 1>standpoint because all these young guys and the guys that

0:09:45.520 --> 0:09:47.600
<v Speaker 1>are the second third role, they get all this playing time,

0:09:47.640 --> 0:09:51.640
<v Speaker 1>we get all this evaluation time. And I mean most

0:09:51.640 --> 0:09:54.280
<v Speaker 1>every regular season game is only two starters or two

0:09:54.320 --> 0:09:56.600
<v Speaker 1>guys and they play every snap. So we'll have four

0:09:56.679 --> 0:09:58.480
<v Speaker 1>or five that can play in there and it'll be

0:09:58.520 --> 0:10:02.840
<v Speaker 1>good experience for them. Okay, I mean, as far as

0:10:02.880 --> 0:10:06.280
<v Speaker 1>I know, Michael's fine. Other than little nick picking things. Thins.

0:10:06.320 --> 0:10:08.920
<v Speaker 1>The ability to man up on a wide receiver allow

0:10:08.960 --> 0:10:13.160
<v Speaker 1>you to be more creative at all in diamond nickel coverages. Yes,

0:10:13.200 --> 0:10:15.160
<v Speaker 1>it does. And that's also what Jenk brings us to.

0:10:15.320 --> 0:10:18.240
<v Speaker 1>You know, our safeties that are converted corners. That's something

0:10:18.280 --> 0:10:21.880
<v Speaker 1>what we look for because they have that ability to

0:10:22.200 --> 0:10:25.160
<v Speaker 1>our ability to stay in our base personnel group and

0:10:25.200 --> 0:10:28.120
<v Speaker 1>against three wide receiver sets. If your safety can drop

0:10:28.160 --> 0:10:31.160
<v Speaker 1>down and cover like a nickel covers in the slot,

0:10:31.200 --> 0:10:32.880
<v Speaker 1>then you have the ability to stay in there and

0:10:32.880 --> 0:10:34.839
<v Speaker 1>you're a little stronger in the run game and you're

0:10:34.840 --> 0:10:37.400
<v Speaker 1>still solid in the past game. Chipper need to comment

0:10:37.520 --> 0:10:40.400
<v Speaker 1>to fire. Maxwell was the best nickel corner that you

0:10:40.400 --> 0:10:43.520
<v Speaker 1>guys faced last year. The Maxwell yester sites yesterday said

0:10:43.520 --> 0:10:46.000
<v Speaker 1>that you guys don't want them in there. I don't

0:10:46.000 --> 0:10:48.280
<v Speaker 1>know if that's accurate or not. But what are the

0:10:48.280 --> 0:10:50.640
<v Speaker 1>prospects of him were moving into nickel or why you

0:10:50.679 --> 0:10:52.920
<v Speaker 1>living want to pig? You know, he's in the conversation,

0:10:53.040 --> 0:10:55.640
<v Speaker 1>but it's the latter part of the conversation. You know.

0:10:55.760 --> 0:10:57.600
<v Speaker 1>Right now, we're so excited about having them out there

0:10:57.640 --> 0:11:00.480
<v Speaker 1>wide and covering the big, longer receivers and and matching

0:11:00.600 --> 0:11:03.600
<v Speaker 1>up there. Uh, he absolutely could and get some reps

0:11:03.600 --> 0:11:06.360
<v Speaker 1>in there, but right now, again, it's his first year

0:11:06.440 --> 0:11:09.200
<v Speaker 1>learning the defense, and it's, you know, kind of our

0:11:09.200 --> 0:11:11.600
<v Speaker 1>philosophy to try to let him really understand that spot

0:11:11.600 --> 0:11:14.240
<v Speaker 1>first before you bounce him round too much. But at

0:11:14.280 --> 0:11:17.360
<v Speaker 1>any point that we felt that the game winning decision

0:11:17.400 --> 0:11:19.480
<v Speaker 1>would be to put him in the slot, we could.

0:11:21.440 --> 0:11:24.960
<v Speaker 1>Athleticism probably, and intelligence the kid really is. He's a

0:11:25.480 --> 0:11:29.840
<v Speaker 1>he's a three down linebacker athleticism wise, and he's got

0:11:29.880 --> 0:11:33.960
<v Speaker 1>a very good football IQ and instinct. So I'm excited

0:11:34.000 --> 0:11:36.840
<v Speaker 1>to see him against the Colts with the light song

0:11:37.320 --> 0:11:39.200
<v Speaker 1>to see how he plays. But he's a he's a

0:11:39.240 --> 0:11:49.080
<v Speaker 1>really good athlete yesterday, but where do you see him

0:11:49.080 --> 0:11:50.960
<v Speaker 1>match right now? We got him out there at the

0:11:50.960 --> 0:11:52.800
<v Speaker 1>corner spot and he has I mean he got that

0:11:52.840 --> 0:11:54.959
<v Speaker 1>first day, had no meetings, had no idea what any

0:11:55.040 --> 0:11:57.120
<v Speaker 1>call was. So we've got to get him again. We'll

0:11:57.160 --> 0:11:59.560
<v Speaker 1>settle him in a corner as he learns the defense,

0:11:59.600 --> 0:12:01.640
<v Speaker 1>and as he learns it, then we'll have the ability

0:12:01.679 --> 0:12:04.000
<v Speaker 1>to move them if we need them after it just

0:12:04.160 --> 0:12:05.920
<v Speaker 1>work out and then and also skinning the other guys

0:12:06.320 --> 0:12:08.560
<v Speaker 1>aress them. You know, you know there's there's most of

0:12:08.559 --> 0:12:10.280
<v Speaker 1>the bodies you're in camps right and everybody's got a

0:12:10.360 --> 0:12:13.920
<v Speaker 1>ninety man roster they're dealing with. So everybody's got a

0:12:14.040 --> 0:12:16.719
<v Speaker 1>little something that keeps them out of there right now.

0:12:16.760 --> 0:12:19.400
<v Speaker 1>And we're excited about signing him and we're excited about

0:12:19.440 --> 0:12:23.280
<v Speaker 1>saying what he can do in the understand last year

0:12:23.280 --> 0:12:26.720
<v Speaker 1>went at my point, boy could get down. He knew slots.

0:12:26.760 --> 0:12:29.640
<v Speaker 1>This year is that you move, you're safe your words

0:12:29.679 --> 0:12:31.680
<v Speaker 1>to the slot. I didn't love someone else how to

0:12:31.679 --> 0:12:33.800
<v Speaker 1>pay the outside of the Yeah, our goal is to

0:12:33.840 --> 0:12:35.840
<v Speaker 1>put the best five out there, and Nickel, we're the

0:12:35.840 --> 0:12:38.240
<v Speaker 1>best six out there and dime and right now, the

0:12:38.280 --> 0:12:41.440
<v Speaker 1>beauty of training camp is evaluating who those guys. It's

0:12:41.480 --> 0:12:44.280
<v Speaker 1>really where we are. There is no move we wouldn't make,

0:12:44.559 --> 0:12:47.280
<v Speaker 1>and there's no move where guarantee we're gonna make. Right now.

0:12:47.360 --> 0:12:51.600
<v Speaker 1>We have the luxury of time and reps ahead of us,

0:12:51.600 --> 0:12:53.080
<v Speaker 1>so we're going to take a good look at the

0:12:53.080 --> 0:12:56.319
<v Speaker 1>corners train him. I know I have two safeties and

0:12:56.400 --> 0:12:58.120
<v Speaker 1>Walter and Jank that can come down and play the

0:12:58.200 --> 0:13:00.520
<v Speaker 1>nickel and have played it and played it well. I

0:13:00.600 --> 0:13:03.120
<v Speaker 1>know they need reps there and about the halfway point,

0:13:03.160 --> 0:13:05.240
<v Speaker 1>if I feel I need them down there, I will.

0:13:05.280 --> 0:13:11.400
<v Speaker 1>But I'm excited about them in the safety spot, quarterbacking everything.

0:13:12.000 --> 0:13:13.840
<v Speaker 1>I know. A lot of the guys said that the

0:13:13.880 --> 0:13:16.040
<v Speaker 1>defense is a lot further along at this point than

0:13:16.040 --> 0:13:18.720
<v Speaker 1>they were last year. Is that strange to here, considering

0:13:18.760 --> 0:13:20.720
<v Speaker 1>how many new pieces have come in to know? What

0:13:20.800 --> 0:13:24.240
<v Speaker 1>happens in the discussion in year one is everybody is

0:13:24.320 --> 0:13:26.960
<v Speaker 1>learning for the first time. When you get to year three,

0:13:27.120 --> 0:13:31.440
<v Speaker 1>your veterans are helped teaching and coaching your new guys.

0:13:31.480 --> 0:13:34.760
<v Speaker 1>So there's like triple to coaching. There's coaching from us,

0:13:34.800 --> 0:13:38.240
<v Speaker 1>there's coaching from each other, and that understanding, sometimes from

0:13:38.400 --> 0:13:40.880
<v Speaker 1>a fellow player explaining it, or when you're in a

0:13:40.960 --> 0:13:43.760
<v Speaker 1>locker room and it's just it's easier for the new

0:13:43.800 --> 0:13:45.959
<v Speaker 1>guys to pick up because more people can give them

0:13:45.960 --> 0:13:57.040
<v Speaker 1>the proper answer that you don't have in year one.

0:13:48.760 --> 0:13:49.360
<v Speaker 1>Thank you,
