Speaker 4: There is Matthew in a boot and look like Grant

15
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:49,479
Speaker 4: left at one point.

16
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:52,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's Grant's fine. Matt Adams as a calf injury.

17
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 2: He'll be out Coberta not today, but he's getting real

18
00:00:56,600 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 2: close a couple of weeks. Yeah. Uh, what do you

19
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:05,319
Speaker 2: expect to add to the ons?

20
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:08,640
Speaker 5: See unfold there, yeah, see uh a few more uh s,

21
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:12,840
Speaker 5: competitive periods. Uh, We're gonna work some situations. We'll be

22
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 5: back in the red zone.

23
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:17,560
Speaker 2: Again. I think it's really important uh.

24
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 5: Early to get red zone work because number one, it

25
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:23,119
Speaker 5: also takes some running off of your receivers the more

26
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 5: you get in there.

27
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:25,479
Speaker 2: And I just think it's important for.

28
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 5: Both sides offensively defense, uh to be locked in down there,

29
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:30,639
Speaker 5: cause we know that's points When.

30
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:32,399
Speaker 2: Do you start giving the DC or.

31
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:33,480
Speaker 6: More work for the camp?

32
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's coming uh today, Kevin, you guys brought back

33
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 7: company Walker.

34
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 2: Just what does he mean?

35
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 7: I guess, you know, from an intangible standpoint and then

36
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 7: just the work he's doing to.

37
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 2: To come back from that injury.

38
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, intangible's uh, you know, hard to describe obviously, but

39
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 5: he's the presence.

40
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 2: His presence is felt really throughout.

41
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 5: The building, meeting rooms, weight room, on the on the field,

42
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 5: he's a pros pro and just with his career and

43
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 5: what he's been able to accomplish and and plays at

44
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 5: a high level and then provides great leadership.

45
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 8: Off the field with that, Kevin, mean, he's been around

46
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:13,920
Speaker 8: for a while. You have a serious injury like that.

47
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 8: What does it say about a guy to say and

48
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 8: I'm committed to coming back and continuing to do this.

49
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's I'll tell you what it's hard when you're

50
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 5: injured and you're out of it, it's so easy to

51
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 5: feel like you're away from the team. And that was

52
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:29,400
Speaker 5: never where Awalk was even while dealing with the injury

53
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:32,080
Speaker 5: last year and then to come back. You know, we

54
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 5: were so excited that we were able to bring him

55
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 5: back because you know, I think he represents a lot

56
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:39,240
Speaker 5: of what we are ken you alluded to it.

57
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 6: There was just the fact that he like stayed around

58
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:43,400
Speaker 6: for Ria so much last year and he said like

59
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:45,360
Speaker 6: he moved his flight up after his surgery as soon

60
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 6: as he could get back.

61
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 2: What that meant in.

62
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:53,680
Speaker 5: Hindsight, Yeah, you know, he's a walk he's a future coach.

63
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 2: His dad's a coach. He's he's a coach on the field.

64
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 5: But provides a great leadership throughout our building. But you

65
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 5: know what, he a lot of what we uh.

66
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 2: A lot of what he does we don't see. Uh,

67
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:10,359
Speaker 2: some of his impact happens really when when no one's watching. Now,

68
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 2: you you had a lot of injuries there after him.

69
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 3: Obviously when he.

70
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 9: Went out where you survive or doesn't, tangibles weren't.

71
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 2: Filled by others. Oh yeah, I don't know. It's hard

72
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 2: to hard to quantify so to speak, Tony.

73
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 5: I, I I don't know that it's a I don't

74
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 5: know that it uh reflects on anybody else other than

75
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 5: to say, anthey's a great leader for us. So anytime

76
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 5: you're without him, that obviously is a big hole to fill.

77
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 8: When you talk about the versatility allows you allows you

78
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 8: to have on offense, just what.

79
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 3: He can do.

80
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 2: What about his skill set allows him to be as

81
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 2: versatile as you.

82
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 5: Well, in order to be versatile, you gotta line up

83
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 5: all over the place.

84
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 2: So I tell you it's just intelligence first of all. Uh,

85
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 2: with some.

86
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 5: Of our players, the more you can do, uh, we're

87
00:03:57,920 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 5: gonna do it for you. But you gotta be able

88
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 5: to line up, and you gotta be able to say, hey,

89
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 5: you're playing the X dis play and then you're playing

90
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 5: the Z the next play. So that end of itself

91
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 5: is a high bar to clear in any and he's

92
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 5: great at that.

93
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 2: And then physically, I mean you guys.

94
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 5: See, he's he's both quick, he's fast, he's got very

95
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 5: very very strong hands.

96
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 2: He's competitive.

97
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:22,159
Speaker 5: So there's a there's the versatility piece of where you

98
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 5: can line up, but just the different jobs he can

99
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 5: do because of his skill set, just as impressive when.

100
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:29,360
Speaker 2: He when he runs rout side of the backfield.

101
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 9: You know that's essentially green hot routs or leads on

102
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:34,279
Speaker 9: entirely new to your.

103
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:34,479
Speaker 2: Play with.

104
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:41,040
Speaker 5: It's a little Yeah, I wouldn't define it as as Yeah,

105
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:43,839
Speaker 5: I wouldn't call it like a specific set of running

106
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:44,280
Speaker 5: back rounds.

107
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 2: I think there's as you know, there's a thousand things

108
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 2: you can do coming out of the backfield.

109
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 5: We have great runners to do that. You could put

110
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 5: Elijah back there if the matchups dictate. But he's somebody

111
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:57,919
Speaker 5: that we really do see position lists and that you

112
00:04:57,960 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 5: can line him up outside the numbers.

113
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 2: Inside the numbers. Uh, really no limit to where you

114
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:02,719
Speaker 2: can line them up.

115
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:05,040
Speaker 6: Did the off gate day go?

116
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 2: We saw it, you know something guys golf? And then

117
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 2: did you.

118
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 6: Run into some some guys and what kind of feedback

119
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 6: are you getting out of how this experiences filled with them?

120
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:15,719
Speaker 5: Yeah, I know some guys went to the movies. I

121
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:18,279
Speaker 5: know some guys play golf. You also used yesterday.

122
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:20,360
Speaker 2: These guys used it to get their bodies right.

123
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 5: So a lot of use of the training room here

124
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 5: and and some of the resources over at the hotel.

125
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 5: So it's a good spot, right in the middle of

126
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,599
Speaker 5: our trip here to to kind of refresh and recharge.

127
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:34,480
Speaker 9: When when you you see a minicamp go Ta and

128
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:37,120
Speaker 9: even out here a lot of pre stamp motion Elijah

129
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 9: Morris and Paul and a lot of that, but others

130
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:43,280
Speaker 9: are too, So Philly, Kansas City.

131
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 2: Is it just doing?

132
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,039
Speaker 9: You have the guys that do what they're doing and

133
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,279
Speaker 9: it's been successful for them, What effect does.

134
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:53,039
Speaker 2: It have on defenses? Yeah? Uh, you know it's interesting, Tony.

135
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:55,359
Speaker 5: We look a lot at shifts and motions and and

136
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,280
Speaker 5: wanna make sure you're always doing them with a purpose. Uh,

137
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 5: you know, you mentioned Philly they were he didn't shift

138
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:02,600
Speaker 5: in motion last year. They lined up in two by

139
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 5: two sets and played great offense that way. So I

140
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 5: think there's so many different ways to skin the cat

141
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 5: for us. When we feel like there's an advantage to

142
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 5: shifting emotion and some of those fast motions can be

143
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 5: difficult on the defense will utilize them. But it's really

144
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:20,600
Speaker 5: based on what we're trying to accomplish on that given play.

145
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 7: What has serious brought on, you know, even interest in

146
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 7: this camp from the leadership standpoint and helping.

147
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:32,360
Speaker 5: Young guys about that sort of Yeah, He's been awesome practices,

148
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 5: really really hard, I mean works, and that's you know,

149
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 5: he's after my own heart with how he works out

150
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 5: here on the field. So, like you mentioned, he's a leader.

151
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 5: He's done at a high level in this league. He's

152
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:45,719
Speaker 5: been through a lot in this league. So I think

153
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:49,280
Speaker 5: just him imparting his knowledge of things that he's seen

154
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:50,280
Speaker 5: is so important.

155
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 4: To our young guys, which Mark just thrown over the

156
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 4: last year, the year.

157
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:58,920
Speaker 5: M j Emerson. Yeah, he's doing you know, I think

158
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 5: he looks really good physically. He's doing a nice job

159
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 5: both in drills and in the practice reps that he's getting.

160
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:08,840
Speaker 5: As you know, he's he's a very long player, so

161
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 5: it's he's a difficult guy for our receivers to get

162
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 5: off of when he's in press, but another diligent worker.

163
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 2: So I'm excited for him.

164
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 4: You look at that group and s a lot of

165
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 4: guys very skilled at the man and man the band

166
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 4: coverage where he could actually play through their strength being

167
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 4: their kind of cover.

168
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:31,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean I think remains to be seen exactly.

169
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 5: It's kind of like we talked about on offense. You

170
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 5: now's the time to work at all and see what

171
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 5: fits guys. And what they're good at. But the more

172
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 5: man players you have, the better of course. So it's

173
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,680
Speaker 5: something that'll will continue to work and see where we

174
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 5: are once a season starts with your more.

175
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 6: For DPJ, just how have you guys seen him grow in.

176
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 2: This offense and ever? Yeah?

177
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 5: Just you know Donovan, as we've talked about many, many times,

178
00:07:57,200 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 5: he's very very friendly target for the quarterbacks, both because

179
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 5: of his size and length and leaping.

180
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 2: Ability and he's always going to be where he's supposed

181
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 2: to be.

182
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 5: So there's been plays already this camp where he's doing

183
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 5: exactly what he's supposed to do and the ball is

184
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 5: going making it to number eleven because that's the result

185
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:16,680
Speaker 5: of him doing his job.

186
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 10: I know it's ear but has more been as advertised

187
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 10: or has he builder new lot?

188
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 4: Well?

189
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's early. I mean we haven't really

190
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:26,240
Speaker 2: put the pads on and that type of thing.

191
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:28,640
Speaker 5: We've got to get through some preseason games, so it's

192
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 5: early really to make any declarations of any player. So

193
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 5: we're so focused on stacking these days and trying to

194
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:44,239
Speaker 5: get better. But having said that, he's been so impressive from.

195
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:44,440
Speaker 2: How seriously it takes his craft. He really wants to

196
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:44,839
Speaker 2: be great.

197
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 5: You watch him work both before practice, after practice in

198
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 5: the meeting rooms. He's a player that you can tell

199
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 5: takes his job very seriously.

200
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 2: What is it about him, David? She inspired the coaching

201
00:08:57,760 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 2: step to trust him as quickly.

202
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:00,120
Speaker 8: As you guys do that.

203
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean I think it's it's that's just results

204
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 5: of of doing your job and performing.

205
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:05,840
Speaker 2: Uh.

206
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:08,839
Speaker 5: You know a lot of rookies you feel one way

207
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 5: about him and and and you are confident about them,

208
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 5: but they gotta go do it.

209
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 2: They gotta go show you.

210
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 5: Through practices through preseason games that they're read And I

211
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:19,680
Speaker 5: think MJ did that last season and it's no different

212
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 5: than a lot of the rookies now.

213
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 2: They will, they'll earn roles as supposed to be given roles.

214
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:27,320
Speaker 7: The Marquise and a people kind of sideline right now,

215
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:28,840
Speaker 7: I don't know Monty, others can be out.

216
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 11: I mean, do you have a void for the vertical

217
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 11: stretch night or.

218
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 4: Do you you can really look at that.

219
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think we're We're comfortable with where we are,

220
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 5: Mary Kay, with the players that we have.

221
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 2: We have, we have versatility in that room. I know

222
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 2: you mentioned.

223
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:48,079
Speaker 5: Marquise and Anthony in their skill sets, But we're confident

224
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:48,599
Speaker 5: with the guys we have.

225
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:53,000
Speaker 7: Are there any other the younger guys that they caught

226
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:55,679
Speaker 7: your eye in terms of the impressor in this cage

227
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 7: and the season?

228
00:09:56,840 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's, uh, it's hard to say because it's early,

229
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 5: but this rookie class is I'm impressed with how they

230
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:06,679
Speaker 5: take care of their business. They're not pros yet, they're

231
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 5: gonna be rookies for this whole season, but we put

232
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:12,000
Speaker 5: a lot on their plates and they've done a nice.

233
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 2: Job in the meeting room, in the weight room, on.

234
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:18,840
Speaker 7: The practice field, the defense is real chatty and understandably sold.

235
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:23,520
Speaker 7: And then seven on seven the other day, just I

236
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 7: know there's ebbs and flows, you know, to this from

237
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:28,719
Speaker 7: your perspective when you see a period like that where

238
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:32,320
Speaker 7: the offense doesn't have the success of how do you

239
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 7: look at that when you're going back and you're kind

240
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 7: of dissecting things and and then your conversations like with

241
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:38,199
Speaker 7: the Shawn.

242
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 2: And some of the teaching moments.

243
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, I mean that was great work for bost sides,

244
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 5: you know, like today's gonna be great work for post sides.

245
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:47,720
Speaker 5: It's football. Sometimes the defense is gonna win. Sometimes the

246
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 5: offense is gonna win. Luckily, I always win as the

247
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:54,280
Speaker 5: head coach, so I'm happy either way. But it's it's

248
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 5: there are great, great competitive reps to learn from, and

249
00:10:58,200 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 5: that's that's gonna be true throughout this train.

250
00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 1: Came next up linebacker Anthony Walker talking about rehabbing and

251
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 1: coming back from his injury last season and why he

252
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 1: decided to come back to the Browns for another year.

253
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,560
Speaker 10: Is everybody doing well?

254
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 3: Appreciate it, you can see it, you see y'all too

255
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:16,840
Speaker 3: kind of some of y'all.

256
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:26,079
Speaker 2: But totally understanding. Thanks to hold that.

257
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 10: Guys really just say you are, You're come back, making

258
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 10: great progression. I think every day has been better for

259
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:37,720
Speaker 10: me out there on the field. You know, you can't,

260
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:41,960
Speaker 10: you know, recreate football by doing rehab or by doing

261
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:44,480
Speaker 10: you know, just training on the side. So I think

262
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:47,080
Speaker 10: for me, the last bit is actually getting out there

263
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 10: and doing individual drills and then progressing to seven or

264
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:52,959
Speaker 10: seven progressing to team period. So for me, I think

265
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 10: I'm taking steps in the right direction. You know, still

266
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:58,560
Speaker 10: got you know, weeks away to we play a game,

267
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:01,840
Speaker 10: a regular season game, so but just making good progression

268
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:03,920
Speaker 10: and you know, moving at the the pace that the

269
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 10: trains woman to move.

270
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:07,160
Speaker 2: You see you see those steps speak taking.

271
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 3: And training camp, no doubt? Yeah, for sure?

272
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 2: Yeah?

273
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 4: Is it Is there any concern that you wouldn't be

274
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 4: able to be able to get from the start, be.

275
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:14,600
Speaker 2: Able to go?

276
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:17,240
Speaker 10: I mean for me, I I I didn't think I

277
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:19,719
Speaker 10: would be able to ride a bike again after I

278
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:20,360
Speaker 10: had surgery.

279
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 3: My first time having something like that. Uh, it was,

280
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:24,360
Speaker 3: it was scary.

281
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:27,720
Speaker 10: I'm not gonna lie to you know, you you can't

282
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 10: do anything the and you know I've been playing football

283
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 10: and walking around normal for twenty some oi years and

284
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:34,439
Speaker 10: then you know, one day you.

285
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:36,199
Speaker 3: Wake up and you need help to do everything.

286
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 10: So taking it one day at a time, every step

287
00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 10: has been you know, a a blessing, you know, riding

288
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:45,439
Speaker 10: a bike again, to walking normal without crutches and then

289
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:46,559
Speaker 10: running and all that stuff.

290
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:48,080
Speaker 3: So I I don't take any of that for granted.

291
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 2: Do you ever make out you're able to do some stuff?

292
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:53,160
Speaker 6: I guess is there like even a a newer appreciation.

293
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:55,280
Speaker 3: Than you know, anticipating, no doubt, no doubt.

294
00:12:55,760 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 10: You know, watching football for what's fourteen weeks last year,

295
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 10: you know, watching your teammates go through you know, all

296
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:05,679
Speaker 10: season workouts and all that and not being able to

297
00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:06,680
Speaker 10: be a full participant.

298
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:08,080
Speaker 3: You know, it sucks.

299
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 10: You know, you you play the game for the Camarderie,

300
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 10: for the brother brotherhood and to be able to go

301
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:14,840
Speaker 10: go to work with your brothers and not being able

302
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 10: to do everything fully.

303
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:17,680
Speaker 3: It definitely sucks.

304
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:20,719
Speaker 10: But you know it's you know, timing and progression and uh,

305
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:22,600
Speaker 10: you know, I I don't want to rush the process,

306
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 10: but obviously you know, you hope it speeds up a

307
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 10: little bit.

308
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:27,920
Speaker 7: Yeah, if anyone's striving force behind you coming back to

309
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 7: the Browns and uh.

310
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 2: What did it mean to you to day brought your back?

311
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:34,400
Speaker 2: Coming off just such a tough.

312
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 3: Inturry, no, no doubt.

313
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 10: You know, I always appreciative of the opportunity to play football.

314
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:41,000
Speaker 3: You know, like I said, you never wanna take that

315
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 3: for granted.

316
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:43,160
Speaker 10: You know a lot of people out there looking for

317
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:45,560
Speaker 10: jobs and you know, for a b and you know,

318
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 10: the Browns to bring me back, it's definitely appreciative of them.

319
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:51,560
Speaker 10: I appreciate them for that, but for me, uh, the

320
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:54,440
Speaker 10: opportunity to win, I'm kind of I know you guys,

321
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 10: don't you know, I know you guys say that yall

322
00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 10: collegs that I'm a little old now, but but I'm

323
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 10: getting older, you know, and at at this point, it's

324
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:05,360
Speaker 10: the appreciation of winning. You know, a team that's built

325
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 10: to win, a team that you know is ready to

326
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:09,320
Speaker 10: win right now, and that's what the Browns are and

327
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:11,959
Speaker 10: that's what we're We're trying to get accomplished. So I

328
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:14,600
Speaker 10: understand that the opportunity to obviously play the game, but

329
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:16,559
Speaker 10: obviously the opportunity to win is what brought me back.

330
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:21,880
Speaker 12: Ultimately, you and obviously been teammates for a while and

331
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:26,240
Speaker 12: did kind of going through this recovery period together and

332
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 12: did that kind of form an even stronger bond between.

333
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 10: The two, No doubt, No doubt, me and Talk had

334
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:34,080
Speaker 10: our We had our share of battles for a while.

335
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 10: And then it's funny, you know how how God works

336
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 10: sometimes put somebody in the position the same position as

337
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 10: you and you know, have to bring you guys together.

338
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:46,600
Speaker 10: We were rehabbing together pretty much all off season, even

339
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:47,200
Speaker 10: during the summer.

340
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 3: We both didn't go home.

341
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:50,480
Speaker 10: We stayed in Cleveland, and you know, like you said,

342
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 10: built that bond, and you know, you once you get

343
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 10: to know someone a little deeper and understand why they

344
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:56,480
Speaker 10: are the way that they are, you appreciate them a

345
00:14:56,520 --> 00:15:00,440
Speaker 10: little more. So obviously you know we're both battling, but

346
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 10: definitely a new uh bond built there.

347
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 6: I guess what did you learn about him that maybe

348
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:07,400
Speaker 6: you didn't know before? Yeah, I mean first part of

349
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 6: it and second part it seems like he's either on

350
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:11,240
Speaker 6: schedule or a head of schedule in his own redab

351
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 6: what you saw from from him throughout those months.

352
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:16,200
Speaker 10: Yeah, one thing I learned, Uh, you know, he loves

353
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:19,800
Speaker 10: the game and that that that is part of the passion,

354
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 10: the sometimes the ruggedness, hesione. He loves the game so

355
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 10: much and uh, you know he he's always trying to

356
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:30,760
Speaker 10: find ways to get better. But during this off, during

357
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:33,600
Speaker 10: this rehab, obviously seeing him go to work every day

358
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 10: is you get a new found appreciation. You know, a

359
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:39,560
Speaker 10: lot of guys don't don't wanna go through that, me included.

360
00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:41,960
Speaker 10: So for us to do that every day when we

361
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:44,400
Speaker 10: didn't want to, and you know we didn't have you know,

362
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 10: some days we could take off and we're like now

363
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 10: we're coming there, We're gonna get some extra work.

364
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 4: You know.

365
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 10: To see that, to have somebody to go through that

366
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:52,880
Speaker 10: with you definitely a new appreciation there as.

367
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:55,800
Speaker 7: A as a veteran player, what about jim stupor to

368
00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:59,040
Speaker 7: defense excites you the most and how do you feel

369
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 7: like it is going to accentuate what you.

370
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:05,400
Speaker 10: Do fast now as that Yeah, I think it's UH

371
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:08,480
Speaker 10: planning to coaching to your player's strength and we have

372
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 10: UH obviously we have a very unique set of uh

373
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:17,160
Speaker 10: DB's UH all sizes, speeds that can cover pretty much everybody.

374
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 10: UH obviously you got the monsters on the edge, the

375
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:23,360
Speaker 10: pass rush that gets there, being able to stop the

376
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:25,280
Speaker 10: run we have. I think we have all the pieces

377
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 10: and I think, like you said, what what makes him

378
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 10: unique is he plays to.

379
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 3: Our strengths and then he lets us take the rings.

380
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:33,600
Speaker 10: You know, he tells us what he wants and he

381
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:35,280
Speaker 10: lets us go out there and do it instead of,

382
00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 10: you know, trying to micro manage. So I think that's

383
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:40,480
Speaker 10: what you appreciate now as a older player, where you

384
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:42,080
Speaker 10: know you kind of have the range to kind of

385
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 10: you know, control the show. And now for me as

386
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 10: a linebacker, that's you know, that's what you want.

387
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 4: He's like, you learned about talking, but what about what

388
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:51,480
Speaker 4: did you learn about yourself or in this process of

389
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:55,040
Speaker 4: having a battle back from what you know, could be

390
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:55,600
Speaker 4: careering you.

391
00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:58,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, no doubt.

392
00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:02,400
Speaker 10: Number one, Uh, I found out that, Uh, I have

393
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 10: a great, a great family obviously, my dad being there

394
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:08,960
Speaker 10: all the way, my close family members being there all

395
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:11,720
Speaker 10: the way, great friends and all that. But my family here,

396
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:15,000
Speaker 10: you know, the team, my teammates here, you know, obviously

397
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:17,960
Speaker 10: had that great relationship with Jakobe and you know he

398
00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:19,560
Speaker 10: was with there e he was there with me every

399
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:21,280
Speaker 10: step of the way. But also a lot of guys here,

400
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:24,359
Speaker 10: j Okay, uh, Deshaun, all those guys. Man, they were

401
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:26,640
Speaker 10: just there for me the whole time, keeping my spirits

402
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 10: up throughout the whole process. So I appreciate those guys,

403
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:33,479
Speaker 10: and I think for myself just you know, I always

404
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:36,280
Speaker 10: thought I was a little tough minded, but now I realize,

405
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:38,680
Speaker 10: you know a little bit more, you know, just going

406
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:41,480
Speaker 10: through that injury and uh, you know, fighting back that

407
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:42,200
Speaker 10: I can overcome.

408
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:43,199
Speaker 3: So I do appreciate that.

409
00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:44,280
Speaker 2: Sitting there was that.

410
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 9: Collective voter conference for the linebacker grow or guys got

411
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:50,800
Speaker 9: hurt last year who they didn't make any changes there?

412
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:54,920
Speaker 9: Who would you make of that organization a linebacker?

413
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:57,120
Speaker 3: Uh, don't tell him, I said this, but I think

414
00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 3: coach tarr might be a good coach.

415
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 10: You know when you when you believe in the guy

416
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:04,960
Speaker 10: that you know that leads the group. Coach tarv that

417
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:07,200
Speaker 10: he has all his guys ready to play. I think

418
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:10,080
Speaker 10: that says a lot. You know, you don't have to

419
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:11,920
Speaker 10: bring in too many outside guys when you know it's

420
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:14,120
Speaker 10: a next man up mentality and that guy is ready

421
00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:16,080
Speaker 10: to ready to play. And that's a tribute to like

422
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:17,960
Speaker 10: I said, Coach Tarbin, that's a tribute to the other guys.

423
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:18,440
Speaker 3: Being ready to play.

424
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:21,800
Speaker 10: Tony h J Jordan, all those guys being ready to

425
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:22,840
Speaker 10: play at any moment.

426
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:25,199
Speaker 3: And uh I as you see, you know we we

427
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:27,399
Speaker 3: they those guys still battling out there to day, you know.

428
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:30,800
Speaker 10: So I think, like you said, just the confidence in

429
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:33,400
Speaker 10: in the group and then also confidence in the coach

430
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:35,280
Speaker 10: that he's got he's got the guys ready to play.

431
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:38,600
Speaker 8: Any played against all the best guards in this league.

432
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:41,520
Speaker 3: One of those man I was just talking to Joel

433
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:42,000
Speaker 3: about that.

434
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 10: I think just his uh, his feet, he has really

435
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:50,200
Speaker 10: good feet for how big he is, so you may

436
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 10: think like you have a step on him or something

437
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:53,879
Speaker 10: like that, and he's able to run you down or

438
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:57,200
Speaker 10: just cut off angles and all that stuff. Obviously, coach

439
00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:00,640
Speaker 10: Callahan is a great coach. Obviously all those guys play

440
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:03,040
Speaker 10: really well together. But I think, like I said, Joe's

441
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:04,280
Speaker 10: feet is one of the best I've.

442
00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:08,240
Speaker 7: Seen Anthony, you guys defense, I mean, everything looks really

443
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:08,800
Speaker 7: good on paper.

444
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:10,119
Speaker 3: It's still early an offense.

445
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:11,920
Speaker 2: Shaun's back to the line, all that teas.

446
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:14,919
Speaker 1: Nobody talks about the Browns like you feel like you

447
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:16,000
Speaker 1: guys are slept on.

448
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:18,360
Speaker 10: I mean, I think, like you said, you put it

449
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:20,639
Speaker 10: like hit it right on the head. It's all on paper,

450
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 10: and until you do it, you know. I mean, I

451
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:27,359
Speaker 10: think I've been here with the last two years. I

452
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:29,200
Speaker 10: thought we were pretty good on paper in both years,

453
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:31,359
Speaker 10: you know, and until you actually go out there and

454
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:34,800
Speaker 10: do something and make some noise, make a playoff run

455
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:37,480
Speaker 10: and all that stuff, they shouldn't be talking about us.

456
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:38,040
Speaker 3: That's cool.

457
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:40,959
Speaker 10: We understand that we haven't done anything either, So we

458
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:42,800
Speaker 10: understand that we have to go out earn it every

459
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:45,120
Speaker 10: day on the practice field and let everything else take

460
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 10: care of itself. And then you know, obviously on Sundays

461
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:49,680
Speaker 10: we take care of that and you know, we see,

462
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:51,880
Speaker 10: we see, you know what the headlines.

463
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:51,919
Speaker 3: Read after that.

464
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:54,240
Speaker 10: But right now we're worried about what we're doing inside

465
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:56,880
Speaker 10: and you know, on the inside of our practice field

466
00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:58,719
Speaker 10: and all that stuff, and we'll let the outside hit

467
00:19:58,760 --> 00:19:59,280
Speaker 10: it outside.

468
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:01,760
Speaker 7: I wish just this trip, you know, Kevin brought you

469
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:06,200
Speaker 7: guys down here to insulate you a little bit, try

470
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:09,359
Speaker 7: and get you guys to to bond maybe a little

471
00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:12,000
Speaker 7: more than uh standing back in Marias. So just from

472
00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:15,000
Speaker 7: your perspective, do you do you agree with that for

473
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:17,399
Speaker 7: wansophy and just what type of a benefit do you

474
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:18,720
Speaker 7: feel this trip.

475
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:21,800
Speaker 10: Has had on Yeah, uh, personally, I feel like for

476
00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:24,359
Speaker 10: me it was like a reset. You know, you know,

477
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:26,560
Speaker 10: you're you're so used to being an off season and

478
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 10: you're being home, and even if you stay in Cleveland,

479
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:31,399
Speaker 10: like you're so used to a like a semi routine,

480
00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:34,200
Speaker 10: when you come somewhere else for training camp, it kind

481
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:37,720
Speaker 10: of gives you that that sense of restart, refresh, let's

482
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 10: get ready for training camping lock in for the season.

483
00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:41,800
Speaker 3: So I think that's a good thing.

484
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:44,640
Speaker 10: Obviously I had never been here before, but I think

485
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:47,399
Speaker 10: everything has been awesome. You know, the commuting, everything is good.

486
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:49,160
Speaker 10: I mean, I'm pretty sure the guys are loving it.

487
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:52,240
Speaker 10: You know, even yesterday had a lot of team bonding

488
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:53,480
Speaker 10: activities and stuff like that.

489
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 3: So I I think it's good for us.

490
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:59,640
Speaker 9: Good practice practices against the Eagles like last year, kind

491

494
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:11,320
Speaker 10: We'll see, we'll we'll take it as as you know,

495
00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:12,520
Speaker 10: the progression as it comes.

501
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:26,120
Speaker 1: his versatility, how the offense is working, and how he's

502
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:28,200
Speaker 1: building camaraderie with Deshaun Watson.

538
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:55,359
Speaker 11: We don't coach to play slot outside or inside.

539
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:56,920
Speaker 2: You can coach the player receiver, you.

540
00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:58,960
Speaker 11: Know, so it doesn't really matter where I'm lined up.

671
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:42,639
Speaker 11: you know, for the team, but also for myself, and

672
00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:44,760
Speaker 11: I was just working toward those goals and I see

673
00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:46,520
Speaker 11: a lot of improvement, but you know there's still a

674
00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:49,919
Speaker 11: lot of provements to get get done. What goals did

676
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:53,440
Speaker 15: I rather keep those to myself, you know.

677
00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:57,280
Speaker 2: Once, do you feel like just the game has sliding

678
00:27:57,320 --> 00:28:00,640
Speaker 2: down compared to drinking here of a year ago?

679
00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:01,760
Speaker 6: Oh?

680
00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:03,600
Speaker 15: Yeah, a lot, honestly.

681
00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:04,879
Speaker 11: You know, as a rookie, you know, I was just

682
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:07,720
Speaker 11: out there, sat against myself a lot, you know, not

683
00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:10,000
Speaker 11: tryna make mistakes. But this year, you know, I just

684
00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:13,280
Speaker 11: hit my playbook this off season pretty hard, and you know,

685
00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:16,200
Speaker 11: just building that chemistry with my guys and trusting everybody

686
00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:18,359
Speaker 11: that they're be in the right position and just trying

687
00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:19,400
Speaker 11: to do my job every place.

688
00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:20,639
Speaker 15: So it slowed down a lot.

689
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:24,000
Speaker 3: Was there a point last year camp prison the game

690
00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:26,440
Speaker 3: whatever you just said, Okay, I can do this. It

691
00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:29,080
Speaker 3: wasn't quite as new or maybe you feel still lived

692
00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:29,680
Speaker 3: with you new yor.

693
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:36,800
Speaker 11: Okay, maybe I was a preseason picked six last year. Yeah,

694
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:38,320
Speaker 11: that w that was a big comfident boust for me.

695
00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:41,040
Speaker 11: You though, to going out with my first NFL debut,

696
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:43,400
Speaker 11: and I uh made some good plays and I was like, Okay,

697
00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:46,320
Speaker 11: I feel like I belonged to you probably that moment.

698
00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:47,560
Speaker 2: No probe.

699
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:49,600
Speaker 8: You gotta pick out Sanders of rent Jone today?

700
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:51,640
Speaker 2: What did you see? How many point were you talking.

701
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:52,200
Speaker 3: To your labor.

702
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:56,120
Speaker 11: Just reading my keys? You know us in a Redson,

703
00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:57,800
Speaker 11: when you get a straight you get a straight stem,

704
00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:00,920
Speaker 11: it's usually a dig. But he didn't pressed my leverage,

705
00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:02,480
Speaker 11: so he didn't try to run path me, try to

706
00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:04,480
Speaker 11: get underneath me. So I just stayed square and we

707
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:06,680
Speaker 11: try to cross my face. I just broke and then

708
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:07,479
Speaker 11: the ball was right there.

709
00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:12,640
Speaker 7: What say, are you seeing the the game betterans sing

710
00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:15,320
Speaker 7: out for you this year where he'll.

711
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:17,560
Speaker 2: Help me pretty fast? It's ma'am, I would say, so,

712
00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:18,800
Speaker 2: I would say.

713
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 6: So, Martin, I know last year you've liked when opposing

714
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:24,959
Speaker 6: quarterbacks were growing your way. I guess just like, how

715
00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:27,160
Speaker 6: much did that help build your confidence and much you?

716
00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:29,479
Speaker 6: So I assume you feel the same way going into year.

717
00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:31,040
Speaker 2: To you that you want them to keep targeting you.

718
00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:33,760
Speaker 15: Oh yeah, I'm a competitor, you know, the ultimate competitor.

719
00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:35,960
Speaker 11: So I love when the quarterback targeting me you know,

720
00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:38,840
Speaker 11: but just keeping me honest, you know, keep me focused
