1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:03,440
Speaker 1: Awkward call.

2
00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:06,960
Speaker 2: Call is kind of a slower, easier first practice of

3
00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:08,800
Speaker 2: the Did it feel that way or did you like.

4
00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:14,120
Speaker 1: To temple up? Uh? Tempo was great? Definitely was Uh.

5
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:18,680
Speaker 3: You know, the league is getting better at acclimating guys

6
00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:23,160
Speaker 3: into the into the season, and also you know there's

7
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:25,000
Speaker 3: a highest chance of injury the first two weeks of

8
00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:28,440
Speaker 3: the season, so it's uh, it's good to you know,

9
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:30,680
Speaker 3: get guys going, but you know, do it safely.

10
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:32,200
Speaker 1: And you know, I think they do a good job

11
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:34,240
Speaker 1: here of that. We have a good plan.

12
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:39,240
Speaker 3: Kyle and uh Ben and the dust and the medical

13
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 3: staff come up with a good plan, and you know,

14
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:43,320
Speaker 3: I think it's beneficial for us.

15
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:46,240
Speaker 1: Has that gotten better every year you've been in the league?

16
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 4: Any re ever the situation where you got worn down,

17
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:51,600
Speaker 4: like right away where you where's moll school? Where it

18
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:53,640
Speaker 4: really be any?

19
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 1: Yeah?

20
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 3: You know, definitely in the league has changed a little

21
00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 3: bit since I've been uh here, but I think it's

22
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:03,600
Speaker 3: changed for the better.

23
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 1: You know.

24
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:07,679
Speaker 3: It's uh definitely used to be a little rougher, uh,

25
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 3: especially first day training camp. I remember being a little

26
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:15,400
Speaker 3: rougher than uh than today was. But I think it's

27
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 3: for the better of the players, and and uh the

28
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 3: longevity of our season. You know, we're we're uh, we

29
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:22,680
Speaker 3: don't need to win a game today. We need to

30
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:25,679
Speaker 3: be able to win games, you know when the season starts.

31
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 4: Who likes to get after it? How does he do

32
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:30,319
Speaker 4: with the back up bas?

33
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 3: Uh A little mixed, but now he does a great job.

34
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 3: Uh even even uh coach Chris has calmed down throughout

35
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 3: the years. Having a daughter has mellowed him out. So uh,

36
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 3: you know, we have some some former you know, Tap

37
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 3: used to play for him in Detroit and uh Alex

38
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 3: Barrett was there with him in Detroit as well too,

39
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 3: So they tell us the stories of uh a little

40
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 3: bit younger Chris.

41
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 1: Uh, he wasn't as mellow.

42
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 3: So you consider him as mellow uh now that I

43
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 3: know him, Yeah, you know, I I've been around him

44
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 3: a long time. So he's just really passionate, you know,

45
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 3: and and that that passion shows, you know, in in

46
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 3: in uh him, you know, being passionate about the game

47
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 3: and being passionate about uh his players, So it always

48
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 3: comes out, but it's it's pretty mellow, you know. I

49
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 3: I know him now, I know when he's uh, when

50
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 3: he's saying certain stuff to you know, get a certain reaction,

51
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 3: so it's uh, it's good being around him and being

52
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 3: coach bib.

53
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:35,360
Speaker 1: Though you mentioned being here.

54
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 2: For a while, you're for the longest longest ten years

55
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:39,800
Speaker 2: nine or on the team now a nine years in

56
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:40,639
Speaker 2: What what does that mean to you?

57
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:43,079
Speaker 1: Does it? Does it feel like it's called fast? Slow? What?

58
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:43,919
Speaker 1: What like?

59
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 4: Uh?

60
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 1: Mixed? Sometimes?

61
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,920
Speaker 3: Sometimes I feel like it flew by sometimes, you know,

62
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:53,919
Speaker 3: looking back at uh when I first started, that seems

63
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 3: like a long time ago. A lot has changed, you

64
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 3: know since I've been here. So but nah, it's been

65
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 3: it's been amazing, super blessed to uh be here my

66
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:09,240
Speaker 3: entire career and uh not really have to get to

67
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 3: know another place and uh be at a you know,

68
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 3: top class organization that have been this long. A lot

69
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 3: of people wouldn't have thought I would be here this long,

70
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 3: but I'm here, So it's been.

71
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:20,919
Speaker 1: Nuh it's been good.

72
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:23,799
Speaker 2: Not a good ahead of yourself. But ten years would

73
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 2: be next year. There's a wall for for that. What

74
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 2: is that something that you uh that CHU strive for?

75
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 1: No, that would be awesome.

76
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:33,360
Speaker 3: You know, being uh one place for ten years I

77
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 3: think is uh hard to do and not a lot

78
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 3: of people do it for a number of reasons. You know,

79
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 3: you have to be good obviously, and things have to

80
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 3: work out, you know, from a from a football standpoint,

81
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 3: and and a whole bunch of other scenarios. So yeah,

82
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 3: but you know, if I was able to achieve that, that

83
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 3: would definitely be a good thing that a lot of

84
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 3: guys aren't able to do.

85
00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 5: YEA lay next to a lot of different guys O

86
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 5: over those nine season, does Hargrave remind you of any

87
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 5: any one of those uh, of those X teammates?

88
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 1: Mm? Nah. I think he's pretty unique in the sense.

89
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 3: I mean, we've had some guys more of his stature,

90
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 3: but I think he's a pretty unique player, uh, with

91
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:27,839
Speaker 3: his stature and his pastor's ability as well too. I

92
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 3: think we've had some explosive, strong uh guys uh, which

93
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 3: he is, but like a complete full player like like

94
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:38,279
Speaker 3: he is, It's is pretty unique.

95
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:39,040
Speaker 1: Uh.

96
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 6: You guys have had a very big team for a

97
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:45,599
Speaker 6: couple of years now obviously, uh, but s objective, But

98
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 6: when you look at this roster, it seems like, I

99
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:51,599
Speaker 6: maybe this is the most loaded you guys have ever been.

100
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 1: You share that since you have had since Lockery Like man,

101
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 1: this might be our best chance. Yeah.

102
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:03,480
Speaker 3: Well, you know, at the start of the season, they

103
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:06,480
Speaker 3: always say, you know, everybody has a chance to win

104
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:11,719
Speaker 3: a Super Bowl, and uh, I would say, there's you know,

105
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 3: about six to eight teams that have a better chance

106
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 3: than others that have a legit chance, and I think,

107
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 3: you know, we're definitely one of those teams. And we

108
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 3: have a a great group of talent, we have a

109
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 3: great culture, great coaching, So we definitely have a opportunity.

110
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 1: And that's all you can.

111
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 3: Ask for at the beginning of the season, and uh,

112
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:39,600
Speaker 3: as the seasons progresses, the opportunity to achieve that ultimate goal,

113
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:41,720
Speaker 3: which is winning the Super Bowl. So we definitely have

114
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 3: the team that is capable of it, and we definitely

115
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 3: have the opportunity. Now it's on us to get to

116
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 3: work and you know, do everything we can to try

117
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:49,919
Speaker 3: to seize it.

118
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 1: Yeah. Who are you talking about your culture?

119
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 3: Uh?

120
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 1: You guys do have a good culture.

121
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,159
Speaker 4: There's a lot of new faces in your d line room.

122
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:59,360
Speaker 6: Do you feel the need to.

123
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 2: Verbalize speed at which you guys practice and your guess

124
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:04,040
Speaker 2: culture to the new guys in the room.

125
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 3: No, not necessarily. I mean I'm not the coach. Uh,

126
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 3: Chris does a great job of when well, Chris doesn't

127
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:15,479
Speaker 3: bring in guys that he feel like can't you know,

128
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 3: play the way he wants anyway.

129
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 1: So as far as my role is.

130
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 3: Just to to uh be the best I can, you know,

131
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 3: try to use my knowledge to help uh other guys.

132
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 3: And you know, we we have a great culture. But

133
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:35,599
Speaker 3: you know, I wouldn't say I'm the most who rah rah.

134
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 3: Guy Nick isn't either, And you know, we c we

135
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:43,600
Speaker 3: can lead by example and uh, you know, show the

136
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:46,919
Speaker 3: way it's done, you know, without necessarily having to to

137
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 3: get on guys or or anything like that. It's been good,

138
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 3: you know, playing with all these different groups throughout these years,

139
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:57,839
Speaker 3: it's been a lot of fun. And right now starting

140
00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 3: that journey of building that camaraderie together. You know, guys

141
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,280
Speaker 3: are new and they're still figuring each other out. And uh,

142
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 3: the more we practice and the more replay, it's gonna

143
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 3: be fun to to get to know each other and

144
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 3: go out on the field and play for one another.

145
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 2: Seeing Terrence Mitchell join the team with a segrament of kidding.

146
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 1: Also, yeah, I was super excited.

147
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:22,400
Speaker 3: Uh I was here when he he worked out uh

148
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 3: for the team. Uh, a couple months ago, I believe,

149
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 3: and he told me I had an opportunity to to

150
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 3: sign with us during training camp, and uh, you know,

151
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 3: I was really hoping that that happened and did happen.

152
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 3: And you know, I love seeing guys where I'm from

153

00:07:58,520 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 1: Uh?

Speaker 3: Well, just getting go, just get going with coach Wilks,

162
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 3: So uh don't have too many observations on that one.

163
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 1: You know, Coach Willis is a great coach.

164
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 3: I'm excited to take on this journey with him. You

165
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 3: know Slent de Miko, We're We're two different personalities but

166
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 3: with similar messaging, I would say, but doesn't change much

167
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 3: of you know, how we practice and how we play,

168
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 3: you know, d how how defense is meant to be played.

169
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:32,280
Speaker 2: Has been involved in your positional group chat throughout his

170
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:34,440
Speaker 2: I guess being away to group.

171
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 3: Uh yeah, n you know Nick always keeps in uh

172
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 3: contact with with his guys, and yeah, so we we've been

173
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 3: in contact. That being he's doing great and he's always

174
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:49,559
Speaker 3: doing good trading. I'm sure probably gonna wait room.

175
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:52,079
Speaker 2: Not worry about any of this future of what does.

176
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:55,080
Speaker 1: He even talk about that at all? Or Nah?

177
00:08:55,240 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 3: I mean, I I think Nick has told everyone, you know,

178
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 3: he knows what he did on the field, and he

179
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 3: knows how valuable of a player he is, and he

180
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 3: knows he'll be he'll be compensated for it. So I

181
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 3: don't think he has a a word in his mind.

182
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:11,839
Speaker 3: And uh, I don't think we're we're here worried either.

183
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:12,959
Speaker 1: You know, the.

184
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 3: Niners have a great track record of of taking care

185
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:19,120
Speaker 3: of uh people who who uh do things the right

186
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 3: way and are exceptional, exceptional players, And I'm sure that'll

187
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 3: get taken care of too.

188
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 1: Definitely deserves it.

189
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:30,200
Speaker 6: Rum good you cared about Four seasons have ended in

190
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 6: kind of heartbreak and fashion. How long does it take

191
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:36,440
Speaker 6: you to like digest the end of the season like

192
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:39,720
Speaker 6: that and then you know, struggle withing a end and

193
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:42,200
Speaker 6: and carrying out you know, for the next season, and

194
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 6: and try.

195
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:46,680
Speaker 1: And agree with uh probably three weeks.

196
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, when uh you lose you kind of in limbo, especially,

197
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:54,680
Speaker 3: you know, we lose some of that when you lose

198
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 3: we not going to the playoffs, Like, alright, I can

199
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 3: play him off season. I'm gonna go and bake. But

200
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:02,600
Speaker 3: when you go to the playoffs, you never know when

201
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 3: it's gonna be over. So you never know until you

202
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 3: know that last game and then so you're kind of

203
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:10,440
Speaker 3: in limbo for a little bit, like dang, what do

204
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:11,000
Speaker 3: we do now?

205
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 1: Uh? Do I start training? Like, dang, it's just over with.

206
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:19,720
Speaker 3: So that takes a couple of weeks and then you you,

207
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:22,080
Speaker 3: you know, flush it and then start the journey. You know,

208
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:24,320
Speaker 3: OTA's and all that stuff starts quick, so you can't

209
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 3: be thinking about it too long. You gotta start training

210
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 3: and start getting ready for the next season.

211
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:30,880
Speaker 1: N Uh.

212
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,439
Speaker 4: Nick, You mentioned Nick not being really a row rock guy,

213
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:35,720
Speaker 4: and you seem pretty measured and about the way you

214
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 4: go about things. Jamon Hardgrave is a pretty humble, low

215
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 4: key guy. Is there a stirred up presence on defensive life?

216
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:44,160
Speaker 1: Uh?

217
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 3: I think our stirred up presence is how we play.

218
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:50,680
Speaker 3: You know, I don't think I don't think guys wanna

219
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 3: mess with us, So alright, I think that's our stirred

220
00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:55,079
Speaker 3: up presence
