1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,640 Speaker 1: Have you thought about, you know, you're a young veteran 2 00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:05,960 Speaker 1: on this team that you're gonna actually play a game 3 00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:08,160 Speaker 1: at some point if we get to that without having 4 00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:11,760 Speaker 1: played one preseason game, maybe never taking a guy to 5 00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:15,800 Speaker 1: the ground, never tackled. Um, you know, how ready can 6 00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:19,040 Speaker 1: a defensive lineman be to play football with no action 7 00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:22,479 Speaker 1: like that? Um? Not thinking? We've been thinking about it 8 00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:24,720 Speaker 1: pretty much what everything has been going on, and UM, yeah, 9 00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:27,400 Speaker 1: it's just something you have to mentally prepare as well 10 00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:30,080 Speaker 1: as trying to as much as possible and physically prepared 11 00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:32,200 Speaker 1: the practices when we do get the practicing with fast 12 00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:41,400 Speaker 1: and things like that. Thank you, m Dalvin. Uh. What 13 00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:44,040 Speaker 1: does you react to to the number of opt outs 14 00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:48,320 Speaker 1: around the league and have you ever considered it? Um? 15 00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:50,239 Speaker 1: I have. I can't even react to them because I've 16 00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:53,479 Speaker 1: been so locked into the playbook and so um, I've 17 00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:55,880 Speaker 1: just been trying to get the plays and everything now, 18 00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:57,960 Speaker 1: trying to kept going on in the mutings and just 19 00:00:58,120 --> 00:00:59,800 Speaker 1: I've just been so locked in here and just trying 20 00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:04,080 Speaker 1: to improve and have everybody else here improving everything and 21 00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:06,640 Speaker 1: just keep stay focused. So I really haven't thought too 22 00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:08,679 Speaker 1: much about opting out because I just want to be 23 00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:16,160 Speaker 1: with my teammates. Okay, obviously it's a different offseason, different 24 00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:18,080 Speaker 1: training camp. How how different does it feel to you, 25 00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:19,680 Speaker 1: you know, being there compared to your last couple of 26 00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:23,240 Speaker 1: years at training camp. Uh? Super different. You know. The 27 00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:26,080 Speaker 1: social distant thing is like the biggest thing trying to 28 00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:27,800 Speaker 1: get used to to make sure you always six feet 29 00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:30,040 Speaker 1: from each other and things like that. But um, it's 30 00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:32,399 Speaker 1: it's it's a super different different location. I know you 31 00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:35,080 Speaker 1: used to be in the facility, Uh, just right there 32 00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:37,479 Speaker 1: with everybody and everything's like super close, and you gotta 33 00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:39,760 Speaker 1: you know, everything is a lot more spread out now. 34 00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:42,840 Speaker 1: Obviously in the locker room, you guys typically you know, 35 00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:44,640 Speaker 1: sit close to each other and that's a lot of 36 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:46,800 Speaker 1: you know, joking around, doing whatever you're doing. Do you 37 00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:49,400 Speaker 1: guys have to really be conscious of that now? Oh yeah, 38 00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:51,760 Speaker 1: everybody's spread out and you're trying to just keep yelling 39 00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:53,560 Speaker 1: over and over and make sure everybody can hear you 40 00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:56,000 Speaker 1: through the mass. So it's just you might lose your 41 00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:58,520 Speaker 1: voice every now and again. Hey, Dalvin, we were just 42 00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:01,120 Speaker 1: on with Blake of Ute ago and you talked about 43 00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:03,760 Speaker 1: wanting to come in and sort of be the quarterback 44 00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:06,080 Speaker 1: of the defense, the guy everybody turns to when they 45 00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:08,440 Speaker 1: when they need to know what's going on. Um, I 46 00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:11,200 Speaker 1: know it's it's really early in the process and and 47 00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:14,360 Speaker 1: you know you probably just met him in person, you know, 48 00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:16,520 Speaker 1: less than a week ago. But have you have you 49 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:20,239 Speaker 1: seen him sort of be developing into into that into 50 00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:22,600 Speaker 1: that kind of kind of role for this defense. Yeah, 51 00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:24,920 Speaker 1: Blake is a great guy, a great team may and 52 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:27,480 Speaker 1: just I just feel like his natural for him and 53 00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:30,440 Speaker 1: just that, you know, I feel like as a linebacker, 54 00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:34,040 Speaker 1: as a linebackers do they they coached the defensive going 55 00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:37,079 Speaker 1: and stuff like that, And yeah, I just, like I said, 56 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:39,320 Speaker 1: super early, and we've only gone out here for a 57 00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:41,720 Speaker 1: couple of days now, and I feel like our roles 58 00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:43,880 Speaker 1: and things like they're gonna develop a lot more in 59 00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:52,240 Speaker 1: the upcoming weeks. Charleston, what's up, Dalvin? I what are 60 00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:55,040 Speaker 1: the roadblocks that you see as you guys start to 61 00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:57,520 Speaker 1: move through this season? Like where might you guys slip 62 00:02:57,639 --> 00:02:59,880 Speaker 1: up and have an outbreak for the season ends? And 63 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,520 Speaker 1: another question I had is how different is the deferense 64 00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:05,440 Speaker 1: you guys are running this year compared to last year? 65 00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:08,680 Speaker 1: Because coach Jodge talks a lot about versatility and if 66 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:10,679 Speaker 1: you're gonna be versatile, I'm assuming that there's gonna be 67 00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:16,360 Speaker 1: some similaritious with last year's defense. Um, the roadblock question 68 00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,880 Speaker 1: was just pretty much everybody just keeps following the protocol 69 00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:21,919 Speaker 1: and hopefully we all can say as safe as possible, 70 00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:26,000 Speaker 1: because that's the number one priority right now. And I 71 00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:29,919 Speaker 1: just feel like new Defense just trying to pick up everything, 72 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,919 Speaker 1: and uh, I really haven't, you know, been able to 73 00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:35,480 Speaker 1: compare it to last years and because it's still pretty 74 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:37,880 Speaker 1: new for the most part, just uh be able to 75 00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:39,800 Speaker 1: walk through stuff right now and everything. So we're just 76 00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:41,960 Speaker 1: trying to take a day by day to just continue 77 00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:44,800 Speaker 1: to improve them the things that are installing each day. 78 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:48,840 Speaker 1: Hey Delvin, how you doing, man? Good year? Good Um 79 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,080 Speaker 1: curious you look at a guy like Dexter Lawrence is 80 00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:52,840 Speaker 1: second year coming into the league, and I know you 81 00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 1: guys haven't really been able to strap the pads on yet, 82 00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:58,240 Speaker 1: but I'm curious just seeing him around the building, seeing 83 00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:00,280 Speaker 1: him out there during the workouts. What's kind of the 84 00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:04,760 Speaker 1: biggest difference watching Dexter now compared to where he was 85 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:09,400 Speaker 1: a year ago coming in. Um, I guess the biggest differences, Uh, 86 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:12,840 Speaker 1: I guess, you know, you get used to the NFL. 87 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:14,520 Speaker 1: You just get used to the meetings and things like that, 88 00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:16,479 Speaker 1: and uh, I guess you get a little bit more 89 00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:19,719 Speaker 1: comfortable going into your second year because everybody is a rookie. 90 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:21,240 Speaker 1: You know, coming in you're kind of a little nervous 91 00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:23,320 Speaker 1: that you're a rookie and stuff like that. But now 92 00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:25,440 Speaker 1: you know he's become he's the second year players. It 93 00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:28,400 Speaker 1: comes out his work had on every single day and 94 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:30,560 Speaker 1: the ready to work. So it's just I love the 95 00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:33,200 Speaker 1: energy he brings and just how excited he is to 96 00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:40,000 Speaker 1: come to work and get better each day. Rock Dlan, 97 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,039 Speaker 1: we asked you about a couple of other players, Let's 98 00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:44,560 Speaker 1: let's ask you about you. What you know, You're you're 99 00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:46,599 Speaker 1: coming into into your fourth year here, you have a 100 00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:49,440 Speaker 1: new defensive system. What what what are your expectations for 101 00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:51,680 Speaker 1: yourself this year and and how do you think that 102 00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:54,520 Speaker 1: this new defense is gonna maybe help you help you 103 00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:57,680 Speaker 1: reach those Yeah, I'm super excited about the new defense, 104 00:04:57,720 --> 00:04:59,840 Speaker 1: and um, I'm just want to be able to help 105 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:01,920 Speaker 1: the running m pass game this year, just to keep 106 00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:05,160 Speaker 1: improving across the whole board. And I'll just help out 107 00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:07,720 Speaker 1: and be disruptive up in the middle as much as 108 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:10,560 Speaker 1: possible without the whole season. What do you like about 109 00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 1: the defense, the difference in the scheme that and how 110 00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:15,920 Speaker 1: does it how does it apply to you specifically? Um? 111 00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:18,960 Speaker 1: I like uh, I feel like I'm super aggressive and 112 00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:22,280 Speaker 1: the inside the scheme is uh. I guess you could say, 113 00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:24,480 Speaker 1: is it's I guess it's fun. It reminded me on 114 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,080 Speaker 1: the Alabam Alabama Defense album It Days and just the 115 00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:30,440 Speaker 1: technique I used to use, the stuff like that. Dalvin, Um, 116 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:32,800 Speaker 1: you're certainly not the oldest player on this team, but 117 00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:36,159 Speaker 1: you are, um the longest tenure defensive player. Right. There's 118 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:39,719 Speaker 1: nobody even around longer than you on defense? Um, what 119 00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:44,080 Speaker 1: does that tell you about the business, about yourself, about 120 00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:46,480 Speaker 1: the giants that you can be such a young guy 121 00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:49,840 Speaker 1: and um, you're the elder statesman so to speak. As 122 00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:53,440 Speaker 1: far as um uh time service the giants on this defense. 123 00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:57,520 Speaker 1: I'm just everybody knows it's a it's a business. You 124 00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:00,120 Speaker 1: have to be able to just just understand that. I'm 125 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,480 Speaker 1: gonna just so I just pretty much keep my head 126 00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:04,280 Speaker 1: down and focus on getting better each and every day 127 00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:06,240 Speaker 1: and just keep working. And that's all you can do. 128 00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:08,000 Speaker 1: And I was just blessed to be in a position 129 00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:10,039 Speaker 1: we are I am today just to be able to 130 00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:12,640 Speaker 1: sit in this chair and talk to you guys and everything. 131 00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:15,520 Speaker 1: So just um, just come in each and every day 132 00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:17,400 Speaker 1: and don't take a day for Graham.

I 135 00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:25,560 Speaker 1: guess you could say that sometimes, but not really. It's 136 00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:28,360 Speaker 1: just I'll be so locked in on just everything were 137 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:30,679 Speaker 1: installed and stuff like that.

Last question, Patty, Hi dlvin, how are 140 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:43,800 Speaker 1: you good? In? You very well? Thanks? You were here 141 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:47,480 Speaker 1: last time coach Graham was here as the defensive line coach. 142 00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:50,000 Speaker 1: I'm just kind of wondering. I know he wasn't responsible 143 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:53,240 Speaker 1: for the entire defense, but are you seeing some carry 144 00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:56,080 Speaker 1: over in what he taught when when he was the 145 00:06:56,120 --> 00:07:00,200 Speaker 1: defensive line coach versus what he's teaching now? And you know, 146 00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:02,600 Speaker 1: how has he kind of grown since he's been here? 147 00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:06,280 Speaker 1: You know, last is a defensive line coach. I feel 148 00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:08,640 Speaker 1: like he's a great guy, growing a lot. Just U 149 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:11,080 Speaker 1: you could just tell like when he was here is 150 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:12,880 Speaker 1: that's pretty much a lot of the same techniques and 151 00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:15,440 Speaker 1: stuff because you always catch them coming to you want 152 00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:17,120 Speaker 1: rooms and talking to us all the time. I guess 153 00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:19,640 Speaker 1: we're his favorite group. I guess you could say because 154 00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:20,840 Speaker 1: he loves he used to be at you want to 155 00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:23,800 Speaker 1: coach or something. Um yeah, he's always teaching us these 156 00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:25,880 Speaker 1: techniques and stuff. That reminded me of a lot of 157 00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:28,320 Speaker 1: stuff he used to teach me a rookie year. I 158 00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:31,080 Speaker 1: felt like, yesterday, that's a crazy part. But um yeah, 159 00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:33,400 Speaker 1: it's just a lot of great stuff going in and 160 00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:36,000 Speaker 1: he just continued to improve, Like we just keep keep 161 00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:38,360 Speaker 1: improving on the techniques and stuff he keeps teaching up. 162 00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:41,440 Speaker 1: Does that make it easier for you, you know, in 163 00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:45,360 Speaker 1: transitioning to this new defensive scheme, that there's some familiarity 164 00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:48,600 Speaker 1: with the techniques and what he asked you to do. Yes, 165 00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:50,000 Speaker 1: I feel like to make a little bit easier with 166 00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:51,760 Speaker 1: that because the techniques are similar.
