1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:02,560
Speaker 1: You know, obviously we're just looking at continue to keep

2
00:00:02,600 --> 00:00:05,840
Speaker 1: getting better, finding little things to grow out every day.

3
00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:09,119
Speaker 1: You know, personally, I feel, you know, really good, especially

4
00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:11,000
Speaker 1: putting on some waves, really just kind of getting your

5
00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:14,760
Speaker 1: legs back, getting the way back under you, getting acclimated

6
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:15,320
Speaker 1: to the heat.

7
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:18,080
Speaker 2: So just continuing to build, but feeling good right now.

8
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:20,480
Speaker 2: The turnovers for the first couple of days of camp

9
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:22,680
Speaker 2: from the defense are Are you pleased with the overall

10
00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:24,480
Speaker 2: performance that you guys have been putting on the field.

11
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:28,520
Speaker 1: I think after assessing the first four days on the field,

12
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:31,400
Speaker 1: I would say I'm pleased. You know, obviously it's always

13
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:34,599
Speaker 1: room for improvement, but guys have been really communicating at

14
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:37,280
Speaker 1: a high level, obviously flying around with a lot of effort,

15
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:41,239
Speaker 1: and you know, capitalizing on obviously obviously the turnovers and

16
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 1: you know, the big players that we need to get

17
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:45,440
Speaker 1: the ball back to the offense and playing sound defense.

18
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:48,120
Speaker 1: So you know, I'm really excited about what coach is

19
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:50,640
Speaker 1: doing with us, and I'm just looking to keep building

20
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 1: on that.

21
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 2: How much of that credit to Ryan?

22
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:58,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, you credited a lot to Ryan, and all the

23
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 1: coaches are obviously teaching us the right techniques and then

24
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 1: the scheme helps us match you know, coverages, match our

25
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 1: offensive players, you know a little bit. So we're just

26
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:10,040
Speaker 1: taking the space out of it. You know, majority of

27
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 1: the time we're closing on them, closing the ground on

28
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:17,679
Speaker 1: right now, which we really appreciate. So yeah, yeah, I

29
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:21,760
Speaker 1: put on around twelve to fifteen sitting around like two

30
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:24,959
Speaker 1: fifty now, and it's just to play dominant, to play

31
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,959
Speaker 1: strong throughout the season. Obviously, it helps for injury prevention

32
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 1: and really just to play physically stout. You know, that's

33
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 1: what the linebacker positions for. And if I can carry it,

34
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:37,840
Speaker 1: you know, I'm gonna you know, put on a little

35
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 1: bit extra wait for sure. So yeah I do. Yeah,

36
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 1: I'm excited to you know, continue, you know, moving on

37
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,400
Speaker 1: forward with this and going through a season and see

38
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:47,199
Speaker 1: how my body feels.

39
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 2: I think I'm gonna feel a.

40
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 1: Lot better and stronger towards week eighteen and plus you

41
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 1: know that's really what it's for.

42
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 2: You.

43
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna allow me to you know, you

44
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 1: bring up you know, match coverages. You know it's really

45
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 1: just you know, there's no you just basically take a

46
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 1: guy right now, you know, it's kind of no waiting

47
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 1: for them we're dictating it. They're not. We're not letting

48
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 1: them dictate us. So I really appreciate that and really

49
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 1: just playing downhill.

50
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,959
Speaker 2: I think the phrase is attention to detail. A few

51
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:20,800
Speaker 2: guys have mentioned that through this first week. What does

52
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:22,640
Speaker 2: that look like for you and what does that really

53
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 2: mean to you?

54
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 1: I think it's just making sure there's no great area

55
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:30,359
Speaker 1: on any levels and each call, you know, every call

56
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:33,399
Speaker 1: has so many intricate details, and making sure that there's

57
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 1: no great area, and making sure we don't see it

58
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 1: one way and safety see it another way. You know,

59
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 1: everybody's on the same page. Communications at a high level,

60
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 1: and it's complace but simple, you know, it's it's relatively simple,

61
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 1: and so you know it's easy for everybody to just

62
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:49,240
Speaker 1: be decisive.

63
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 2: How much similar we'll overlap is there with what you

64
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,240
Speaker 2: ran at Utah and your role in that system and

65
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 2: your role in this system.

66
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 1: I would say me playing in the middle and then

67
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 1: us running a lot of nickel coverages. Outside of that,

68
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 1: it's not too much. Honestly, there's there's really not a

69
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,920
Speaker 1: lot of similarities. But other than you know, playing in

70
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 1: the middle, really you know you're to quit.

71
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 2: Or perhaps go on the you know, get after the quarterback.

72
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:20,920
Speaker 2: Do you see that coming?

73
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 1: We'll see, you know, I think, uh, I know he

74
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:25,520
Speaker 1: believes in my skill set. We've talked about that. So

75
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 1: we still have we have most of the defense, and

76
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:30,359
Speaker 1: there's still some stuff. There's still so a lot of

77
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 1: third down stuff is where it will show up that

78
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 1: we need to go over, you know.

79
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 2: But I know he believes in my skill set, and

80
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 2: I believe in my skill set. So we'll see. So

81
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 2: you guys got the offense frustrated after these first four days.

82
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 2: I think we're all just looking to get better.

83
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 1: You know, everybody has areas of improvement, and so you know,

84
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 1: they make some plays, won't make some plays.

85
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 2: W We're That's what it's about. The iron strepends iron.

86
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 1: We just continue to, you know, help each other one another,

87
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 1: you know, get to where we wanna be so we

88
00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 1: can be in the super Bowl, which is where we

89
00:03:58,960 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 1: all want to.

90
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 2: Be play right now. Just how does that sort of

91
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 2: fit into your skill set? Maybe differently than it might

92
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 2: have been past years.

93
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm really just being in the middle, being in

94
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 1: the box. I think obviously me putting all weight that helps,

95
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 1: you know, engaging linemen, and I think that's really where

96
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:21,159
Speaker 1: I do. Most of my damage is in the middle
