Speaker 1: Yeah, welcome back to From the Podium. It's the show

2
00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:09,280
Speaker 1: where we feature all of the daily press conferences from

3
00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:12,880
Speaker 1: before and after practice, all rolled into one podcast. I'm

4
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:16,360
Speaker 1: Jason Gibbs. On today's show after a few days away,

5
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:19,680
Speaker 1: we'll hear from head coach Kevin Stefanski, running backs coach

6
00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:23,760
Speaker 1: and run game coordinator Stump Mitchell, cornerback coach Brandon Lynch,

7
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:27,960
Speaker 1: running back Jerome Ford, and safety Rodney McLeod. First up,

8
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:30,960
Speaker 1: Head coach Kevin Stefanski talked to the media before day

9
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:34,159
Speaker 1: nine of practice, the team's first after it's win over

10
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:36,400
Speaker 1: the Jets in the Hall of Fame game Thursday night.

11
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:37,760
Speaker 2: That's great.

12
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:40,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, better progressing.

13
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:43,800
Speaker 4: I'd say he's day to day, not not ready just yet.

14
00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:46,720
Speaker 5: Kevin, we talked to stuff earlier and he mentioned Nick

15
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 5: playing more on third down.

16
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 6: This year than he has in the Pacas.

17
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:50,560
Speaker 5: Dream's not here.

18
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:52,600
Speaker 3: I'm just how comfortable you with Rick.

19
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 5: And everything that comes a third down, the pass protection

20
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:55,640
Speaker 5: cuts them all.

21
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:57,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, Nick certainly can do it all. I think that's

22
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:00,240
Speaker 4: he's shown that over the course of his career. He's

23
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:02,760
Speaker 4: been out there on third downs for us. We'll work

24
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:05,319
Speaker 4: through that. It could be Nick out there could be Jerome,

25
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:07,760
Speaker 4: you know, could be a variety of different guys, but

26
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 4: it's really dependent on the game plan. Now, having said that,

27
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:13,959
Speaker 4: you're always comfortable with Nick. I mean, he knows who

28
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:15,920
Speaker 4: to block, how to block him, what routes are run,

29
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 4: he can catch, So he's certainly somebody we can use.

30
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:21,319
Speaker 7: Because the time you see Jerome being that for a second,

31
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 7: third round.

32
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 6: Back to I do.

33
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:26,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think Jerome has that ability as well. I

34
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 4: think he can play on any down, including third down.

35
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 4: So that's the part for us, just work through how

36
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 4: that rotation ends up going. I don't know that we

37
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:37,760
Speaker 4: know exactly how it's going to be just yet, but

38
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:39,399
Speaker 4: it's something that we're confident in both guys.

39
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 3: For sure.

40
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:41,960
Speaker 8: We didn't see Jerome get over a lot of carries

41
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:43,959
Speaker 8: last year, but when you saw him in the kickoff game,

42
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:46,679
Speaker 8: you showed.

43
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 6: You this guy can get affected back.

44
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, I think we saw a lot of

45
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 4: him in the preseason and obviously did a lot of

46
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 4: work on him coming out, but we saw a guy

47
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 4: with great vision, good speed, good contact balance and then

48
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 4: remember he went back there and return kicks for the

49
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 4: first time I think in his life. You know, I

50
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 4: remember talking to him in the line one time saying, hey,

51
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:05,559
Speaker 4: do you have any kick return experience? And he hadn't,

52
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 4: so for him to take that, A lot of those

53
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,240
Speaker 4: traits that make you a good running back also make

54
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 4: you a good returner, So I think he has some

55
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 4: confidence built in from that.

56
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 9: Uh.

57
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 4: And then again we'll work through it what his role

58
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:20,800
Speaker 4: ends up being for us. But as you guys know,

59
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 4: and as I've told the players, you really you carve

60
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 4: out your own role based on what you can give

61
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 4: to the team.

62
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 8: Would you be comfortable would you be comfortable with him

63
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 8: still returning kicks if he were getting a heavy workload.

64
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 10: Of running back?

65
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:32,959
Speaker 6: I think we'll see a good question.

66
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 4: I think that's where Bubba and I are working through

67
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 4: all the different options we have, all the different combinations

68
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:43,240
Speaker 4: we have. Would I do I'm not ready to share

69
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 4: it just yet, but we have a plan and I'll

70
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 4: let you guys know him the next couple of days.

71
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 6: Different this year and what ways make.

72
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think much more confident football player, which I

73
00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:59,360
Speaker 4: think you could probably say have every second year guy

74
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 4: that we have very very confident in knowing what to do.

75
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 4: I think for rookies, particularly rookie running backs. Pass protections

76
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 4: a challenge because there's a lot of rules that go

77
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 4: into it. There's a lot of different things that you

78
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:15,800
Speaker 4: need to do. But he's very comfortable from a mental

79
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 4: standpoint right now.

80
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:19,919
Speaker 11: Because you know, the expectation is you're going to be

81
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:21,519
Speaker 11: able to do more in the passing game where maybe

82
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 11: he's in previous years and you're not gonna have to

83
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:27,119
Speaker 11: solely rely on the run game to kind of carry things.

84
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 11: Is that what maybe is a can allow you guys

85
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 11: to use Nick more in third down situations because he's

86
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 11: going to be fresher.

87
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 4: I wouldn't say that that way, but I just think, honestly,

88
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 4: with Nick, we've talked about this before, he can help

89
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 4: you in a variety of ways.

90
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 3: You know.

91
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 4: I think we've had a good rotation for him at

92
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 4: times throughout the last few years. We'll continue to see

93
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 4: if that's where we.

94
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 3: Want to go.

95
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 5: And Rodney said he played mostly in the post until

96
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 5: last year when he's down in the box a bunch.

97
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 6: So how does it versutil helping you, especially when.

98
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 5: You go with that three safety thanks?

99
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think Rodney, it's it's nice to have smart

100
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 4: football players and versatile football players. Rodney is a guy

101
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 4: that can line up inside and outside, deep and short.

102
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 4: So I think that's the part for our defense and

103
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:18,039
Speaker 4: our defensive staff to put together packages where he can

104
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 4: help us.

105
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 6: Like you mentioned, he has experience doing both and.

106
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 4: It will be a little bit of what the rest

107
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:25,600
Speaker 4: of our guys do well. You know, you're trying to

108
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,480
Speaker 4: maximize the talents of everybody and then sometimes you're just

109
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 4: making sure that you can do both. It really helps

110
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:35,160
Speaker 4: you from a flexibility standpoint as a defense.

111
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 6: You have the same.

112
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 3: Attitude that it's just a matter.

113
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 2: Of for those first team years.

114
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 3: I do, Oh yeah, for sure.

115
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 4: I think the other thing to remember in that game,

116
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 4: the Hall of Fame game, is that first one where

117
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 4: you're maybe it's first time for those guys full speed

118
00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 4: covering kicks, so you're learning a lot. Those players are

119
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 4: learning a lot in those reps. I think that will

120
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:03,239
Speaker 4: continue to get better with Ronnie mc gary.

121
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 12: Plays talk about that familiarity with Jim's system obviously, but

122
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 12: it seems like these guys have gotten respect him really

123
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 12: quickly and ask him questions like what about his personality?

124
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 12: Besides that knowledge makes him look so curtable as a teammate.

125
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 6: I guess yeah, just that's who he is.

126
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 4: You know, I didn't know Rodney prior to bring him

127
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 4: in on a visit and talking with him, but visiting

128
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:22,919
Speaker 4: with him, I think you see a pros pro, a

129
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 4: guy who stayed in this league for a reason. He

130
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 4: takes care of his body. He makes sure he's where

131
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 4: he's supposed to be. I think there's no we can't

132
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 4: put a dollar amount on the value that provides to

133
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 4: your football team.

134
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 3: Kevin.

135
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:38,840
Speaker 13: A lot of your offensive especially gun run stuff with

136
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 13: a lot of pinful, but there was a lot more

137
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 13: insight zone on Thursday night. Can you talk a little

138
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:43,840
Speaker 13: bit about why that shit happened and that opens up.

139
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:44,599
Speaker 3: That they look really hard.

140
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:46,599
Speaker 4: Yeah, a lot of things we tried to do in

141
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 4: that game we're just stuff that we wanted to get

142
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 4: practice reps on. We tried to break the record a

143
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 4: number of screens thrown in the game, just because it's

144
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:57,719
Speaker 4: hard to practice that versus your defense right now because

145
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 4: the rush isn't the same, So we want to do that.

146
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:02,840
Speaker 4: We want to get cracked tosses on tape. So it's

147
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:04,680
Speaker 4: it's I wouldn't read into it much more than just

148
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:06,840
Speaker 4: trying to get things on tape that that we want

149
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:08,719
Speaker 4: to work on in that type of setting.

150
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:12,840
Speaker 7: Kevin, two questions about one is tyrons we expected back

151
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:16,039
Speaker 7: in the until of the day, and too, those backup

152
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 7: tackle spots.

153
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 3: Do you how much how much.

154
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 7: Has your feelings kind of changed toward them, you know,

155
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:22,719
Speaker 7: over the last last few days.

156
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think we is back out there today.

157
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:25,159
Speaker 10: Uh.

158
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 4: Again, I think it's really early in camp too to

159
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:32,159
Speaker 4: make proclamations, if you will, on every roster spot and

160
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 4: how deep you are those.

161
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:33,600
Speaker 3: Type of things.

162
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,840
Speaker 4: I think we'll continue to work and let those u

163
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:40,279
Speaker 4: roster moves and all the shaking out.

164
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 6: We got to let that occur over.

165
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:43,719
Speaker 4: The next few weeks of games and practices.

166
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 9: Emphasizing in practice today and you know what, do you.

167
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 12: Feel like the fans are going to see what you

168
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 12: have to do?

169
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's Uh, we're still in installation. So we're just

170
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 4: getting out of our installation on offense, defense and special teams.

171
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:58,800
Speaker 4: So Jim's putting in new blitzes. We're putting in new uh,

172
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:01,839
Speaker 4: a couple of new runs passes, those type of things.

173
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:02,720
Speaker 3: We'll continue to do.

174
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:05,840
Speaker 4: Red zone work and third and fourth down work. We'll

175
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:08,160
Speaker 4: do a no huddle period at the end of practice today.

176
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 4: But it's it's a really trying to hone in on

177
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 4: on all the situational football things that you're about to

178
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 4: see and again that that first Hall of Fame game

179
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 4: comes at you fast. We hadn't really covered a ton

180
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 4: of short yardage and and you're in third and one

181
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 4: and you hadn't covered certain elements of the game that

182
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 4: come up. You know, we're in a four minute drive,

183
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 4: if you will, at the end of that of that game.

184
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 4: So just continuing to teach and make sure that we're

185
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 4: not skipping any steps on the subject of teaching.

186
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 5: You know, obviously Thursday night was pretty.

187
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 11: Positive for DTR but just having gone back and looking

188
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 11: at things and just maybe one or two we're maybe

189
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 11: one or two coaching things that you pointed out to

190
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 11: him that you know he can refine.

191
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it's a lot. I think there's no shortage.

192
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 6: Of things there.

193
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 4: I think there were run game checks that he can

194
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 4: be better at. There was some past decisions that he

195
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 4: can be better at, and it's all things it's just

196
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:03,600
Speaker 4: gonna learn from. You know, we talked so often about

197
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 4: it's okay to make mistakes, don't don't make the same

198
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 4: mistake twice. He's the type of kid that he'll make

199
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 4: a mistake, you'll get it corrected, and you don't see

200
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 4: that showing up again.

201
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:15,560
Speaker 6: Behind. You just think that.

202
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 7: Steves to get round every day.

203
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 6: No, that's unusual. But why why do you think it's.

204
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 3: Not necessarily to do well?

205
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 4: Honestly, Tony, I think every team and every head coach

206
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 4: has to do what they think is best for their team.

207
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 4: We don't concern ourselves with what everybody else is doing.

208
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:35,360
Speaker 4: We just focus on what we think we need to

209
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:37,080
Speaker 4: do to get our team ready to play, you know,

210
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:39,560
Speaker 4: September tenth for a twenty plus game season.

211
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 8: John S Graham was someone that I know you guys

212
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 8: were thinking about, you know, as a slat this year

213
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 8: and Crag now being you know, just a little day

214
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 8: to day that the spring.

215
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:49,959
Speaker 9: Do you have enough going on.

216
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,079
Speaker 2: In terms of your beginning using a slot?

217
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:52,599
Speaker 9: We do.

218
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 5: Yeah.

219
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:56,040
Speaker 4: And again I think Mark Kitch, it's a blessing in

220
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 4: disguise in some ways when you get injuries like this

221
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 4: because you get to get some guys right said they

222
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:02,400
Speaker 4: weren't getting. You get to use different guys in there

223
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:04,720
Speaker 4: see if it if it fits them. So all things

224
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:05,560
Speaker 4: that were working through.

225
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 3: Good.

226
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:09,120
Speaker 6: Okay, thanks you guys, I appreciate it.

227
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:12,080
Speaker 1: Next up, running back coach Stunt Mitchell tells us how

228
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:13,679
Speaker 1: he felt the running backs did in the Hall of

229
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:16,320
Speaker 1: Fame game and what do he expects from Dimitric Felton

230
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:16,800
Speaker 1: this season.

231
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 2: Some from somebody running backs, you know what.

232
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:21,199
Speaker 9: He can do.

233
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:24,439
Speaker 14: But drove forward coming in from the biggest splash in

234
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:27,840
Speaker 14: the second year of the other guys, guys competing hard,

235
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:30,880
Speaker 14: focusing on what we got to do and seeing their

236
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 14: athletic ability.

237
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 12: What were you able to see from that first preseason.

238
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 10: Eating well from Uh Well Jerome and Nick of course

239
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 10: didn't play, but from uh John Kelly, things that he's

240
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:44,079
Speaker 10: been displaying all all since he's been here. Ability to

241
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:46,319
Speaker 10: run the ball, ability to catch the ball, make plays.

242
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:49,800
Speaker 10: Same thing from Dimitric Felton. Uh had an opportunity to

243
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:52,959
Speaker 10: sell in as running back, showed his ability to make

244
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 10: plays in Hassan Hall as well. But they did what

245
00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 10: they were supposed to do. First preseason game. We were

246
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 10: kind of like a in a match where we're not

247
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 10: gonna blitz you know, a whole lot. So both teams

248
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 10: were on that same phase. We didn't get a chance

249
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 10: to see him pick up. But we have in training camp.

250
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:13,439
Speaker 3: How much does Jerome who? What ways has Jerome proved

251
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:14,920
Speaker 3: from this point last year?

252
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 10: I would say just a understanding of the offense, improve

253
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 10: as a person in terms of being a better teammate,

254
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 10: and also, uh, we know what he did with special

255
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 10: teams in terms of her kick as hopefully he'll still

256
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 10: have an opportunity to do that and improve he can

257
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 10: be even better at it.

258
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:32,719
Speaker 12: You're picking catch the ball back? You have you've seen

259
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:35,160
Speaker 12: level that we haven't seen it, you know Jerome?

260
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:37,959
Speaker 10: Oh, absolutely all the bats can catch the ball out

261
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 10: of the backfield.

262
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 9: Uh.

263
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 10: You haven't seen as much uh from Nick as you

264
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:45,319
Speaker 10: have uh, but you will see more uh this this

265
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 10: upcoming season.

266
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:47,200
Speaker 2: What has Nick.

267
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:51,079
Speaker 13: In that area was he always good at it and

268
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:52,720
Speaker 13: he just never really got the opportunity.

269
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:56,079
Speaker 10: That's exactly right, Mary, cause he was always good at it,

270
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:57,319
Speaker 10: never got the opportunity.

271
00:10:57,520 --> 00:10:57,679
Speaker 15: Uh.

272
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:02,800
Speaker 10: I I think Nick may have dropped last year one ball, uh,

273
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 10: but he he's good in everything that he does, and

274
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 10: he he always tries to work on all the traits

275
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:11,440
Speaker 10: that that he does well and if he's slacking in one,

276
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:12,080
Speaker 10: he tried to.

277
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:14,440
Speaker 3: Work to improve in that as well, stomping in.

278
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 12: Kansas City and the playoff in the Kansas City.

279
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:19,600
Speaker 16: Who's been a manage him when every drafting a couple

280
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 16: of plants did it seemed like he really made a

281
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:23,280
Speaker 16: an effort.

282
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 12: After that, Ye do get a better at it?

283
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:26,320
Speaker 6: Did?

284
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 7: No?

285
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:30,959
Speaker 10: I mean it was a screen pass that he actually dropped,

286
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:32,959
Speaker 10: you know, and and he's been great in screen. So

287
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:37,160
Speaker 10: any receiver, if they're not focusing on the ball, uh,

288
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 10: because they they know they have good hands, they have

289
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 10: a tendency every now and then to uh to turn

290
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:45,960
Speaker 10: away before they actually tuck the ball, and as a result,

291
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 10: usually it ends up in a drop stomping.

292
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:52,080
Speaker 7: It look like a Felton that field was more natural

293
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 7: in the backfield that he didn't a slot and they

294
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:56,319
Speaker 7: doing what he was doing last year?

295
00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:57,880
Speaker 3: Were you see that?

296
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,600
Speaker 10: I see the fact that so far this training camp

297
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 10: he has not had to go into the receiver's room,

298
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:10,439
Speaker 10: so he's not uh fluctuating mentally where he's supposed to be.

299
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:14,400
Speaker 10: Now I'm constantly drilling him in on the plays of

300
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 10: the receivers because if something was to to happen to

301
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 10: one of those guys, he need to be able to

302
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 10: go in and play. We don't need to be able

303
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 10: to wait until the next week to say, now you

304
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 10: gotta play. He needs to be able to go in

305
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:26,320
Speaker 10: and play right right away.

306
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:26,520
Speaker 9: Oh.

307
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 7: The question about him I taking the backfield is it

308
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:32,400
Speaker 7: is he too like any Can he compete in real

309
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 7: games at deposition?

310
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:36,480
Speaker 10: Absolutely he can. I mean he We're not asking him

311
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 10: to be a starter. We asking him to be a

312
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:40,559
Speaker 10: a part time player for the most part, but to

313
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 10: be successful. Uh on special teams. He's he's got to

314
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:46,599
Speaker 10: be special on special teams in order to make this,

315
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 10: make this small club.

316
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 3: He can.

317
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:50,320
Speaker 10: He can do things as a running back and as

318
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 10: a receiver. So uh, he's got to focus in primarily

319
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:56,720
Speaker 10: on special teams and if given an opportunity, Uh, he'll

320
00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:58,080
Speaker 10: be successful as a running back.

321
00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 12: Something last year about Themetrich and you talk about the

322
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 12: mtrich and his versatility being like one of the strength

323
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:04,560
Speaker 12: with being able to.

324
00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 5: Play either position.

325
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:08,200
Speaker 12: But just coming back into that, really, how he how

326
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 12: has he handled that transition mentally and all those things.

327
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 10: Oh, that's that's not an issue for him.

328
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:13,880
Speaker 3: Uh.

329
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 10: The biggest thing is gonna be in protection. And you

330
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:18,839
Speaker 10: know we're not gonna ask him to do that a

331
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:21,439
Speaker 10: whole heck of a lot. But when given the opportunity,

332
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:23,800
Speaker 10: when it presents itself, he's got to be able to

333
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:24,080
Speaker 10: do it.

334
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:26,920
Speaker 3: Being the run game coordinator.

335
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 7: Also, can you talk about the transition to this kind

336
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 7: of shotgun and just a running game?

337
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:38,000
Speaker 10: Well, we ran shotgun last year. Well we've We've always

338
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:40,840
Speaker 10: ran shotguns, so that's not a big deal. And pistols,

339
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:43,120
Speaker 10: it's it's not a big deal. We're still running the

340
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 10: same place for the most part.

341
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:45,120
Speaker 3: Uh.

342
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 10: And the backs can adjust to whatever position that they're

343
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 10: can Yes, yes we do.

344
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 7: And and you think chub Uh had to learn proper

345
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 7: cook work and spacing.

346
00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 3: Out of that.

347
00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 10: No, he's been doing that. Uh ever since I got

348
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:03,319
Speaker 10: here four years so uh, that's that's not a big

349
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:03,920
Speaker 10: deal for him.

350
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 3: Why is it that.

351
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:08,719
Speaker 7: Historically running games have suffered out of the shotgun and

352
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:09,720
Speaker 7: now they don't center?

353
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:12,240
Speaker 10: Well, I I think it's probably more due to the

354
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:16,000
Speaker 10: back than anything else. Sometimes these guys are impatient. Uh,

355
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 10: they start cutting before they should, and they don't allow

356
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:22,200
Speaker 10: any interior alignment or the tight ends to be able

357
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 10: to get on.

358
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 3: They block.

359
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:26,920
Speaker 10: So that we we've been working constantly uh on pressing

360
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 10: our run tracks.

361
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 15: You start that's Kareem isn't fun your homes here, h

362
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 15: what do you think your teams to getting if.

363
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:37,720
Speaker 6: They may career?

364
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 10: You know, I really don't wanna wanna speak on Kareem.

365
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 12: Uh.

366
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:43,200
Speaker 3: I I rather focusing on.

367
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 10: The backs that we have here. I don't everybody watch film.

368
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:49,120
Speaker 10: I don't know how how they evaluate people, you know,

369
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:52,120
Speaker 10: but I think the guys we have here right now

370
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 10: are doing pretty good. Still.

371
00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:57,480
Speaker 12: Then another off season where we've seen your six hundred

372
00:14:57,520 --> 00:15:00,080
Speaker 12: pounds back at home before he gets here, and I

373
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:01,680
Speaker 12: guess just the work he's willing to put in like

374
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:03,640
Speaker 12: with that and getting better in the past game. You know,

375
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:06,640
Speaker 12: he's in here veteran now in desperation room.

376
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:07,640
Speaker 5: What does that say about him?

377
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 10: Uh, He's never taken anything for granted. I mean he's

378
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:13,760
Speaker 10: always going back uh to his high school. That's where

379
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 10: he's working out.

380
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:14,880
Speaker 3: Uh.

381
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 10: He has an impact on those young men and he

382
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:21,040
Speaker 10: still gets his work in. So UH, we're we're pleased

383
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 10: with where he's at and he's constantly, uh, you know,

384
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:26,840
Speaker 10: working to to maintain and be one of the top

385
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 10: backs in the league.

386
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 7: You mentioned the patients.

387
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:32,600
Speaker 3: Is that one of Chubb's attributes.

388
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:38,680
Speaker 10: That sometimes he's not as patient uh in the gun

389
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:42,320
Speaker 10: as he is from the dot or from the home position.

390
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 10: But but uh, that's something we're working on and he's

391
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:47,680
Speaker 10: got to be patient out of gun. Absolutely, So you

392
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:49,240
Speaker 10: mentioned that makes.

393
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:52,080
Speaker 16: Just maybe did get those opportunities to be a house paper.

394
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:56,320
Speaker 16: But when he's doing that, obviously he does what he's

395
00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:59,080
Speaker 16: asked a lot. That's kind of a given him. Has

396
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:02,360
Speaker 16: he had a reaction to having more of that work

397
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:03,680
Speaker 16: with training camp and having that.

398
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:07,200
Speaker 10: Potential to maybe take up Well, he's got more work

399
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:11,640
Speaker 10: in training camp at that role because we don't have Kareem,

400
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:15,280
Speaker 10: which I'm not gonna talk about. So now Nick is

401
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:18,160
Speaker 10: in there on third down as well. So uh, yes,

402
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:21,280
Speaker 10: he he's had an opportunity to to run all those routes,

403
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 10: even though he did it during training camp. Uh, the

404
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 10: past three or four years, he just h he was

405
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:29,080
Speaker 10: not that guy, you know, un unless he had to be.

406
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:32,840
Speaker 16: Is that something that can translated the season with cant

407
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:34,400
Speaker 16: in here that continues rate.

408
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 12: Than is that something in the regular team up?

409
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:36,920
Speaker 8: Oh?

410
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:39,520
Speaker 10: Absolutely, and he did it some during the regular season

411
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:42,360
Speaker 10: that the past couple of years. Uh if Kareem was hurt,

412
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 10: but uh, now he's gonna be there first, second, and

413
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:46,680
Speaker 10: third down guy.

414
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 3: Uh when he's.

415
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:51,480
Speaker 10: Tired or when coach wants to substitute Jerome in, Jerome

416
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:53,880
Speaker 10: go in as that one, two three down back?

417
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:55,840
Speaker 2: What made you go spent?

418
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 6: You know, since n't been ahood to get any rush

419
00:16:59,040 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 6: in the moment.

420
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:04,600
Speaker 10: What makes you feel like, well, we're on his butt

421
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:08,920
Speaker 10: about it. Uh, he's taken uh into, He's bought into

422
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:11,720
Speaker 10: wanting to be that guy. So you know, these guys

423
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:14,200
Speaker 10: are working extremely hard. They know if they do their job,

424
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:16,680
Speaker 10: it will allow everybody else to do their job.

425
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:20,480
Speaker 8: How does he how does he compliment Jerome compliment Nick

426
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:21,360
Speaker 8: in the way they run?

427
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 10: Well, they both are fast, they both are uh explosive.

428
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:29,560
Speaker 10: Nick probably has a little more power than than Jerome does.

429
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:30,160
Speaker 2: But uh.

430
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:36,240
Speaker 10: You know they I I would hope uh Jerome would

431
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:40,159
Speaker 10: try to uh match the stats that that Nick can

432
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:40,560
Speaker 10: put up.

433
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:43,159
Speaker 7: A a year ago, almost in the same spot on

434
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 7: the same day, you were very high on Jerome.

435
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:46,879
Speaker 6: As a workie doing it?

436
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:48,040
Speaker 9: Is he?

437
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:49,280
Speaker 6: How different is he now?

438
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:50,600
Speaker 3: Where's his growth?

439
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:53,040
Speaker 10: The I th I think his growth has been just

440
00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:57,160
Speaker 10: in having confidence uh in himself, Uh, getting along better

441
00:17:57,400 --> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 10: with with his teammates. That's a that's a huge thing

442
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:04,200
Speaker 10: and understanding that there's the things that comes uh with

443
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:08,280
Speaker 10: a rookie that he really didn't accept last year. Well,

444
00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:11,360
Speaker 10: he's still a roochid for nine games, so uh, he's

445
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:13,119
Speaker 10: gonna do some of those things that he didn't do

446
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:13,680
Speaker 10: last year.

447
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:14,320
Speaker 6: Soup.

448
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:16,440
Speaker 13: Last year, you guys ran insights. So last well maybe

449
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:18,680
Speaker 13: about twenty seven to thirty times, but it looked like

450
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:19,440
Speaker 13: you guys maybe hit.

451
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:21,000
Speaker 9: That number fifteen times on Thursday Night list.

452
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:22,879
Speaker 13: Can you talk about the transition for running backs of

453
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:25,440
Speaker 13: shitching up their landmarks, their track a little bit to

454
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:27,920
Speaker 13: to more insight zone, especially on a gun than they.

455
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:28,639
Speaker 9: Were used to last year.

456
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:31,680
Speaker 10: Well, of course, inside zone we're much tighter, we're focusing

457
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:35,280
Speaker 10: on the guards, whereas an outside zone you're wider, you're

458
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:38,119
Speaker 10: s focusing either on the uh tight ends or the

459
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:38,919
Speaker 10: ghost tight end.

460
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:41,400
Speaker 5: I don't know if you uh Nick had over three

461
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:43,400
Speaker 5: hundred touches for the first time in the single season

462
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:47,959
Speaker 5: last year, and uh, how much running back clutches can

463
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:49,439
Speaker 5: wear on a guy and how they can they can

464
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:51,800
Speaker 5: make you kind of wear down the season with him

465
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:53,920
Speaker 5: taking more passes. Now, are you worried about managing the

466
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:55,840
Speaker 5: number of touches he has he worried about, uh.

467
00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:57,800
Speaker 6: How it might wear on and over the course of

468
00:18:57,840 --> 00:18:58,160
Speaker 6: the season.

469
00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:00,680
Speaker 10: Not at all. We got a region room here. Nick

470
00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 10: does everything he's supposed to do in order to take

471
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:05,879
Speaker 10: care of his body. We're looking forward to it.

472
00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 1: Cornerback coach Brandon Lynch is up next. Be Lynch talked

473
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:12,840
Speaker 1: about the versatility the Browns having that cornerback room and

474
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 1: what he's seen from rookie Cameron Mitchell thus far.

475
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:16,360
Speaker 6: How do you see.

476
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:21,240
Speaker 7: Man the man covering plays to the strengths of especially

477
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:25,560
Speaker 7: your top three didn't sell Gregns and Mark Chris.

478
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:28,080
Speaker 9: That's a great question, you know, we talk about being

479
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:28,920
Speaker 9: the tip of the spear.

480
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:32,200
Speaker 15: Yeah, So, like the room has been built with press

481
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:35,720
Speaker 15: in mind first our speed, length and athleticism, and that's

482
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:37,840
Speaker 15: across the board on all of our guys in the room.

483
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 15: We're extremely competitive, So us getting the work, keeping a

484
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:43,520
Speaker 15: focus on it, it's really gonna help our.

485
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:54,160
Speaker 2: Teams experience.

486
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:03,040
Speaker 15: Absolutely a and and really that's one of like Coach

487
00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:06,680
Speaker 15: Schortz's biggest things. With our toughness, our effort, and our passion,

488
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:10,560
Speaker 15: we're really working to like keep stacking days. As coach,

489
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:13,680
Speaker 15: so Fancia is really like illustrated for our team and

490
00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 15: our guys really have that internal camaraderie amongst each other.

491
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:20,879
Speaker 7: It's been working out uh Nickel Uh like the second

492
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:22,520
Speaker 7: team Mitchell.

493
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:25,560
Speaker 15: Rember one guy though, you know what it's really like

494
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:29,000
Speaker 15: by committee. You know, we value versatility, like we've said

495
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:32,960
Speaker 15: a lot organizationally, So from Denzel to k to Cameron

496
00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:34,119
Speaker 15: also to Mike.

497
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:36,040
Speaker 9: Ford have really been like doing a really good job

498
00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 9: in there.

499
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:40,239
Speaker 15: Jo Uh Emerson, Uh, you know, if the match up

500
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:42,920
Speaker 15: requires that, we'll definitely put a tough guy in there.

501
00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:46,320
Speaker 12: Frand you know has kind of talked about he likes

502
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:48,520
Speaker 12: quarterbacks thro his way and targeted.

503
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:49,679
Speaker 8: He really liked that last year.

504
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:51,720
Speaker 12: But he's such quite at guy but kind of still

505
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:54,080
Speaker 12: has that confidence. Just where have you learned about that

506
00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:55,480
Speaker 12: aspect of his personality?

507
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:57,600
Speaker 9: Like you know what he he tip of the spear.

508
00:20:58,000 --> 00:20:59,680
Speaker 15: You know, he's a young man that when we talk

509
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:03,679
Speaker 15: about toughness, he really embodies that and really encourages our

510
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:06,119
Speaker 15: room to really put that at the forefront. So like

511
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:08,600
Speaker 15: when we're in the red zone period as MS, Mary

512
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:11,200
Speaker 15: you know really asked us about that's really a big

513
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:12,680
Speaker 15: thing that really gets our group going.

514
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:15,159
Speaker 9: A year ago, he had that pick six in the

515
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:18,400
Speaker 9: uh first Jackson, Yes.

516
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:21,800
Speaker 3: Sir, did you see a different di? Did that just

517
00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 3: propel him too?

518
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:25,120
Speaker 15: The kind of year and he ended up having technique

519
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:27,520
Speaker 15: and fundamentals, Like he's a young guy, like we always

520
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:29,560
Speaker 15: are gonna put the focus on the work, but he's

521
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:31,960
Speaker 15: a young guy. He's a come in early state late guy.

522
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:34,920
Speaker 15: So with his s technique and fundamentals, like you really

523
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:36,200
Speaker 15: see his development over time.

524
00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:38,600
Speaker 3: What did the kid? The confidence he got from that game?

525
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:43,040
Speaker 15: Absolutely, but I would wanna say before the game, just

526
00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 15: his daily habits really help him propel.

527
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:45,960
Speaker 3: In that game.

528
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:48,399
Speaker 6: What did you see? What did you see it?

529
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:48,960
Speaker 3: Out of the campus?

530
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:53,240
Speaker 15: Just great toughness, you know, and again like he's a

531
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:56,720
Speaker 15: start player for us in every imagine of the word.

532
00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:59,040
Speaker 9: You know, he's very instinctive, he's very aware.

533
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:01,639
Speaker 15: He's a young guy that has very good ball production,

534
00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:03,560
Speaker 15: and he's a young guy that's gonna help us inside

535
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:03,880
Speaker 15: and out.

536
00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:05,520
Speaker 3: Talking about the captains.

537
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:07,960
Speaker 5: Did you see it grow after the taking to Sean

538
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:08,919
Speaker 5: and then the pour down.

539
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:10,200
Speaker 6: Play you made Thursday night't com you know?

540
00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:11,320
Speaker 3: Much like Emerson?

541
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:13,480
Speaker 15: You know, like he's really put the focus on the work,

542
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:17,000
Speaker 15: like he's building daily habits and he's really stacking him daily.

543
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:19,800
Speaker 15: So when he's coming out in the film room as

544
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:22,960
Speaker 15: well as out here on the grass, he keeps moving forward.

545
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 7: And you said he's a start ball starter.

546
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:30,400
Speaker 15: Mentality, No, sir, For us organizationally, he's a smart, tough, accountable,

547
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:31,320
Speaker 15: resilient team guy.

548
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:34,520
Speaker 3: Oh that's what it, yes, sir.

549
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:38,680
Speaker 10: Love that it seems like Greg uh great camard to

550
00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:41,959
Speaker 10: camp with a lot of energy and a great attitude

551
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:44,399
Speaker 10: and new number and just shot ready.

552
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:45,560
Speaker 5: To throw a fresh start in the new beginning.

553
00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:47,359
Speaker 17: What what have you seen rum break?

554
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:47,840
Speaker 3: Sure?

555
00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:50,240
Speaker 15: You know we put a inphasit in o, a emphasis

556
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:53,520
Speaker 15: on that as a defense, and you know, positive energy

557
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:56,119
Speaker 15: is always the best energy and with us being the

558
00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:58,680
Speaker 15: tip of the spirit for our defense, it's really good

559
00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:00,159
Speaker 15: to see him leading the charger that.

560
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:03,040
Speaker 2: Well you're good now.

561
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:05,639
Speaker 5: You know, Rodney's not exactly injured really, but I know

562
00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:07,200
Speaker 5: you guys are around him and you see him. What

563
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:10,440
Speaker 5: kind of impact have you seen him have secondary a

564
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:11,120
Speaker 5: whole people?

565
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:14,159
Speaker 15: Sure leadership. You know he's a young guy that he

566
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:16,480
Speaker 15: has a lot of reps on task. So when we're

567
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:19,720
Speaker 15: talking about stacking days, fortunately we have somebody in the

568
00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:22,000
Speaker 15: room that he's done that at a high level. And

569
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:23,840
Speaker 15: anytime that you have a guy that's won a Super

570
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:26,840
Speaker 15: Bowl but has really good work habits in the classroom

571
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:29,240
Speaker 15: and outside, it just leaks over to the whole group.

572
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:30,560
Speaker 3: What would thinks out?

573
00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:32,919
Speaker 6: You know, we've seen him live inside a little lot of.

574
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:37,640
Speaker 15: What makes himportant when you get Oh, he has all

575
00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:39,960
Speaker 15: of the tools, you know, and when you ask about Denzel,

576
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:44,480
Speaker 15: he has a rare blend of press speed, length, athleticism,

577
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:47,440
Speaker 15: and he's really sticky with his ball productions.

578
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:52,120
Speaker 8: I mean it's the idea of him playing everywhere, maybe

579
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:54,560
Speaker 8: even follow guys around like you excited him.

580
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:56,080
Speaker 6: Does that sort of bring something out of him?

581
00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:56,439
Speaker 3: Oh?

582
00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:59,800
Speaker 15: Absolutely, It gets us excited as a organization. And defensively,

583
00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:02,640
Speaker 15: whenever you can have a guy that's sticky in coverage,

584
00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:06,080
Speaker 15: a guy who is very competitive, that allows our pass

585
00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:08,440
Speaker 15: rushers to get one more second closer to the ball

586
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:11,000
Speaker 15: and that allows us to do the most important thing,

587
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:12,679
Speaker 15: and that's to take the ball away for our defense.

588
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:19,920
Speaker 9: Is what does versatility do to the clnment position flex?

589
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:23,439
Speaker 15: And when I say position flex, situationally, it allows us

590
00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:25,280
Speaker 15: to have really really good matchups.

591
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:26,120
Speaker 3: And we talk about.

592
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:27,560
Speaker 9: Premium matchups and something.

593
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:30,800
Speaker 15: Over the years, we've done a really good job competing

594
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:33,280
Speaker 15: and really emphasizing us being a tip of the spare

595
00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:33,480
Speaker 15: with it.

596
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:36,040
Speaker 7: So I know there are some situations that you and

597
00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:39,280
Speaker 7: Shorts w want through safeties as opposed to three. Some

598
00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:42,320
Speaker 7: situations you want to dine the three safeties. I'm a

599
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:46,760
Speaker 7: few sure, some three cornerbacks. The Emerson's kind of in between.

600
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:50,040
Speaker 7: It is at anything big enough to be classified almost

601
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:50,639
Speaker 7: as a safety.

602
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:51,399
Speaker 10: Does that give you a.

603
00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:53,720
Speaker 3: Yes, sir?

604
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:56,520
Speaker 15: And again, the the number one thing on our defense

605
00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:59,200
Speaker 15: that we wanna emphasize his toughness and that's something that

606
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:01,840
Speaker 15: he gives us across the board, both both on the

607
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:04,000
Speaker 15: third level and as a second level player.

608
00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:06,480
Speaker 13: Can you talk about the value of having maybe a

609
00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:08,480
Speaker 13: troop post safety that's been missing from the room for

610
00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:11,240
Speaker 13: for in previous years and kind of how that takes

611
00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:11,920
Speaker 13: the pressure.

612
00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:14,280
Speaker 15: Off your corners sure range and with us really putting

613
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:18,280
Speaker 15: a premium on communication making the complex simple. Having a

614
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:20,440
Speaker 15: guy that has ranged from red line the red line,

615
00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:23,600
Speaker 15: allowing guys to get aigned up, it keeps everybody chilled,

616
00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:25,000
Speaker 15: as we say in the defensive room.

617
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:28,200
Speaker 5: What goes into that decision whether to have a nickel

618
00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:29,760
Speaker 5: corner or the third safety?

619
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:32,399
Speaker 3: Why go what goes in the decision?

620
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:34,719
Speaker 5: Do you even have a nickel corner or a third safety?

621
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:35,760
Speaker 6: How to give and play?

622
00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:36,800
Speaker 3: Give a pack shirt?

623
00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:38,120
Speaker 9: Situational matchups.

624
00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:41,680
Speaker 15: You know, we're we're really big on winning matchups and

625
00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:45,359
Speaker 15: winning the situation. So if we have premium matchups, as

626
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:46,800
Speaker 15: far as we it be in a safety on a

627
00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 15: tight end or with it being more of a passing guy,

628
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:51,800
Speaker 15: we'll go ahead and we'll apply to such.

629
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:52,720
Speaker 2: Uh Ran and then.

630
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:55,680
Speaker 12: Imparton talked about look in the system, removing like if

631
00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:58,359
Speaker 12: then statements for the defense, like have you seen them

632
00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:01,560
Speaker 12: kind of latch onto that. I don't know simplification is

633
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:04,600
Speaker 12: the right word, but it's kind of knowing where they're supposed.

634
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:05,480
Speaker 5: To be without having to deal with.

635
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:08,080
Speaker 3: Yes, ma'am.

636
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:10,359
Speaker 9: That allows our playmakers to like play fast.

637
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:13,000
Speaker 15: We talk a lot about having removing the seat belts,

638
00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:15,840
Speaker 15: not having any handcuffs, so that way we can process

639
00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:27,840
Speaker 15: fast and we can execute tapes sure premium matchups. So

640
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:30,280
Speaker 15: that's I know, like a big question is who's gonna

641
00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:33,320
Speaker 15: be in the slot. So having that arraignment of guys,

642
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:36,800
Speaker 15: like you're saying, to have different position flex of length,

643
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:40,920
Speaker 15: different situational flex with their athleticism, it allows us to

644
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:41,480
Speaker 15: match up.

645
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:42,720

656
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:10,359
Speaker 17: little bit better. You know what they expect every day,

657
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:11,600

Speaker 17: I didn't return kicks in college. So yeah, I think

792
00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:56,720
Speaker 17: it was It.

793
00:31:56,760 --> 00:31:58,720
Speaker 3: Was fun to do. You p that?

794
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:02,200
Speaker 9: When to be catching the ball up the backfield more

795
00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:02,880
Speaker 9: this season?

796
00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:07,520
Speaker 12: Uh so, I'm just wondering. Uh you know, I kind

797
00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:08,920
Speaker 12: of thought there was gonna be a little bit more

798
00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:09,320
Speaker 12: of your.

799
00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:11,160
Speaker 2: Role sort of employer or what they?

800
00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:13,720
Speaker 13: Uh does that when when you know that or hear that,

801
00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:16,320
Speaker 13: does that make you wanna even prove it more out here.

802
00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:18,200
Speaker 12: That you know that you're the right guy for that top?

803
00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:21,800
Speaker 17: Uh I you just say that, But Nick does catch

804
00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:23,440
Speaker 17: a ball on the back so really well, uh, I

805
00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:24,840
Speaker 17: don't think there's nothing Nick can't do.

806
00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:27,520
Speaker 3: But like you said, yeah, uh I, I I would

807
00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:28,080
Speaker 3: like to show.

808
00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:31,480
Speaker 1: That I could do that too, But you know r Finally, today,

809
00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:34,800
Speaker 1: New Brown's safety Rodney McLeod talks about the chemistry the

810
00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:37,400
Speaker 1: defense is building, how the guys are picking up Jim

811
00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:39,720
Speaker 1: Schwartz's defense and what it's like to play here in

812
00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:40,560
Speaker 1: the cl E.

813
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:44,080
Speaker 3: How do you uh, how do you.

814
00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:45,960
Speaker 9: Think the guys are picking up shorts the system?

815
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:46,200
Speaker 17: Sure?

816
00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:48,680
Speaker 6: I think guys are picking that out the system very uh,

817
00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:49,600
Speaker 6: very well.

818
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:50,080
Speaker 12: Uh.

819
00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:52,160
Speaker 6: I think, uh we're right where we need to be.

820
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:52,920
Speaker 17: Uh.

821
00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:55,800
Speaker 6: Of course, you know, camp is about uh continuing to

822
00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:56,520
Speaker 6: get better each.

823
00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:56,960
Speaker 3: And every day.

824
00:32:57,480 --> 00:32:57,600
Speaker 2: Uh.

825
00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:02,160
Speaker 18: And guys are obviously uh locked then and so things

826
00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:04,760
Speaker 18: are starting to you know, come together. More plays are

827
00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:07,040
Speaker 18: starting to be made, and that has a lot to

828
00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:08,520
Speaker 18: do with guys now having a.

829
00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:10,840
Speaker 6: More familiarity with the scheme.

830
00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:13,200
Speaker 18: They're not necessarily thinking about, Okay, what do I necessarily

831
00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:15,720
Speaker 18: have to line up? They're thinking about, okay, you know,

832
00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:17,480
Speaker 18: what's the offense doing? How do I put myself in

833
00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:19,200
Speaker 18: a position to make plays? And so it's good to

834
00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:20,560
Speaker 18: see right now at this point of camp.

835
00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:23,400
Speaker 7: So you you've been through this before with with new

836
00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:27,239
Speaker 7: players picking out the sports' scheme? Though are they right

837
00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:27,760
Speaker 7: on track?

838
00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:29,040
Speaker 12: Are they head behind?

839
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:29,760
Speaker 17: Or no?

840
00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:31,360
Speaker 10: We're right, We're right where we need to be.

841
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:31,840
Speaker 9: Uh.

842
00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:33,080
Speaker 6: I think we're all feeling good.

843
00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:33,600
Speaker 9: Uh.

844
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:36,080
Speaker 6: It's not perfect, uh, but that's what camp is for.

845
00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:36,800
Speaker 3: UH.

846
00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:39,360
Speaker 6: And as long as you see improvement each and every day.

847
00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:42,040
Speaker 18: And like I said, we've been able to make a

848
00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:44,560
Speaker 18: lot more plays uh over the course of this week.

849
00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:46,640
Speaker 6: Which is which has been good to see because she's

850
00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:48,040
Speaker 6: his defense.

851
00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:50,240
Speaker 11: Is so so much predicated on like a sign of Arklowe,

852
00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:52,040
Speaker 11: you take care of your man the other ten guys

853
00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:54,880
Speaker 11: take care of their man a And there doesn't seem

854
00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:57,680
Speaker 11: to be a lot of additional thinking or analysis that

855
00:33:57,760 --> 00:33:59,280
Speaker 11: you have to do in the middle of play.

856
00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:02,600
Speaker 6: How much does that free you guys.

857
00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:03,920
Speaker 3: Up to just go out?

858
00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:07,480
Speaker 18: And yeah, I think it's very helpful when you have, uh,

859
00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:11,520
Speaker 18: a coordinator like Jim that understands, uh how to bring

860
00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:13,160
Speaker 18: a level of calmness to his players.

861
00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:13,719
Speaker 2: Uh.

862
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:16,839
Speaker 18: And you know, not necessarily, I would say keep thinking,

863
00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:20,200
Speaker 18: keep things simple, but simple enough where like you said,

864
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:23,600
Speaker 18: guys understand their assignment, they can play at a at

865
00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:25,600
Speaker 18: a fast paced and they can play at a high level.

866
00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:28,520
Speaker 18: And it's you know it it works in our favor,

867
00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:31,000
Speaker 18: especially with the guys that we have on this defense.

868
00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:34,239
Speaker 18: It's a very talented back end, you know, mixing with

869
00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:37,759
Speaker 18: the front. So uh, it works and messes well. And

870
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:39,920
Speaker 18: been seeing a lot of productivity from a lot of

871
00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:40,480
Speaker 18: gods so far.

872
00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:43,160
Speaker 5: I don't need to talk back in many times shid

873
00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:45,480
Speaker 5: that Jim care so much about his players.

874
00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:48,000
Speaker 6: How does that kind of come through the way you

875
00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:49,719
Speaker 6: do uh every day?

876
00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:50,359
Speaker 2: Uh?

877
00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:53,360
Speaker 18: You know, whether you know it's it's him, you know,

878
00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:56,360
Speaker 18: loving you up, or whether that's him coaching you uh

879
00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:58,239
Speaker 18: to be the best player, to get the most out

880
00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:00,640
Speaker 18: of the player. I think gods have sat to understand

881
00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:03,800
Speaker 18: who Jim actually is and that at the end of

882
00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:07,200
Speaker 18: the day, it's just all about winning and you know,

883
00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:10,880
Speaker 18: one to see the best for his players, and so

884
00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:14,320
Speaker 18: gods that very have been able to respond, well, you know,

885
00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:16,280
Speaker 18: he he challenged you is at all frontiet.

886
00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:17,040
Speaker 6: A lot of it is.

887
00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:19,560
Speaker 18: It is all based on a mondset how you're gonna

888
00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:22,080
Speaker 18: respond to it, because that's what life is about. That's

889
00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:24,239
Speaker 18: what you know, the game is about, right, And so

890
00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:27,840
Speaker 18: it's good to see guys responding the right way, especially

891
00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:30,200
Speaker 18: this past weekend, being able to go out there put

892
00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:32,880
Speaker 18: things on tape for the younger guys, seeing them all

893
00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:33,759
Speaker 18: come together.

894
00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:35,840
Speaker 6: Pull out a win and do it in the in

895
00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:36,719
Speaker 6: the manner that we did.

896
00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:40,120
Speaker 5: Was h What was good to see you guys to

897
00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:42,719
Speaker 5: get used to that just his style, right, I think

898
00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:44,799
Speaker 5: it might be embrace it could be bracist to some people.

899
00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:48,160
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think you know, he's very you know, demonstrative.

900
00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:48,759
Speaker 2: Uh.

901
00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:52,200
Speaker 18: He he holds guys accountable at all costs. He's not

902
00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:53,920
Speaker 18: gonna tolerate any nonsense.

903
00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:54,239
Speaker 2: Uh.

904
00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:57,920
Speaker 18: And so you know, if you know, if you're not familiar,

905
00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:02,080
Speaker 18: you can think, you know, you could think, you know,

906
00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:06,359
Speaker 18: l I guess the fact that he you know, could

907
00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:09,839
Speaker 18: be doing it out of ill intent. Uh, but in nationality,

908
00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:12,279
Speaker 18: you know, for Jim, it's all it's all part of

909
00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:13,400
Speaker 18: his playing in this process.

910
00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:16,680
Speaker 5: Going back to the game, we saw you guys, you know,

911
00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:20,359
Speaker 5: even the non you know people that weren't run all

912
00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:23,000
Speaker 5: the way down for the clan game clinching interception.

913
00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:25,520
Speaker 3: How important is that camaraderie?

914
00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:27,600
Speaker 5: And do you guys feel like we're starting.

915
00:36:27,400 --> 00:36:30,040
Speaker 3: To get into a rhythm and starting to come together

916
00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:31,000
Speaker 3: a little bit of a defense.

917
00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:33,160
Speaker 6: Yeah, you're seeing the chemistry NonStop.

918
00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:34,640
Speaker 18: And I think that had a lot to do with

919
00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:37,600
Speaker 18: us going out to Greenbrier, Uh, taking that time away

920
00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:40,799
Speaker 18: uh from our our day to day lives and being

921
00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:44,239
Speaker 18: able to just connect, build with one another and really

922
00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:45,239
Speaker 18: just focus on ball.

923
00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:45,880
Speaker 2: Uh.

924
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:49,800
Speaker 18: But more importantly, uh, you know, we're gonna need everybody

925
00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:52,640
Speaker 18: on our team, whether it's our starters down to you know,

926
00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:56,200
Speaker 18: our third stream guys. And there are no weak links here,

927
00:36:56,520 --> 00:36:59,120
Speaker 18: and so we hold everybody to the same standard. But

928
00:36:59,239 --> 00:37:01,800
Speaker 18: more importantly with pulling and rooting for each each and

929
00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:04,360
Speaker 18: every you know, one of us. And that's when you

930
00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:06,279
Speaker 18: really see the true making of a team. You know,

931
00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:09,600
Speaker 18: gods who are selfless, uh, who cheer for one another, uh,

932
00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:12,239
Speaker 18: regardless of us uh competing at a high level.

933
00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:13,600
Speaker 6: I'm all looking to play.

934
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:14,080
Speaker 3: Uh.

935
00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:16,600
Speaker 6: We all have a great level of respect for one another,

936
00:37:16,719 --> 00:37:18,759
Speaker 6: and uh, at the end of the day, we are one.

937
00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:22,400
Speaker 8: I mean, how much of this deepfests do we actually

938
00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:24,439
Speaker 8: see in the pretty season, cause I know it's usually

939
00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:25,239
Speaker 8: keep pretty simple.

940
00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:28,160
Speaker 2: So, like you, how much of this sifference to be seen?

941
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:30,120
Speaker 3: Ah?

942
00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:32,640
Speaker 6: I mean there's a lot. There's a lot that y

943
00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:33,759
Speaker 6: you're not going to see.

944
00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:34,319
Speaker 2: Uh.

945
00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:37,000
Speaker 6: But you know, for we still have to get our

946
00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:37,600
Speaker 6: work done, right.

947
00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:43,279
Speaker 18: You still have to work on uh executing, work on communication, uh,

948
00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:44,560
Speaker 18: work on technique.

949
00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:46,920
Speaker 6: And so you know, Jim has a great plan and

950
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:50,919
Speaker 6: how he's gonna do that. Uh He's done it long enough,

951
00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:53,919
Speaker 6: right Uh. And so all I I think this first game,

952
00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:55,080
Speaker 6: you just wanted to see guys.

953
00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:57,960
Speaker 18: Go out, line up, play fast, Uh know their assignment

954
00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:00,759
Speaker 18: as well, and just let it, let it all, you know,

955
00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:02,800
Speaker 18: hang out a lot of those guys first time, so

956
00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:05,399
Speaker 18: it was good to see them execute at a high level.

957
00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:08,840
Speaker 18: I don't think we have mental many mental errors, especially

958
00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:10,359
Speaker 18: in the back end, so that was good to see

959
00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:11,440
Speaker 18: and pay dividend for.

960
00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:14,719
Speaker 5: Us in a sense of how how much he's gonna use.

961
00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:15,640
Speaker 3: It to be taking package.

962
00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:20,759
Speaker 18: I mean, it's all predicated on on on gym and

963
00:38:21,239 --> 00:38:24,680
Speaker 18: obviously our opponent. I think he feels very good about

964
00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:26,719
Speaker 18: all three of us being able.

965
00:38:26,520 --> 00:38:30,080
Speaker 6: To be out there all at the same time. We

966
00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:31,280
Speaker 6: all bring something different.

967
00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:33,239
Speaker 18: I think we're all talented, we're all here for a reason,

968
00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:36,759
Speaker 18: so all equally contributors in his defense. So be very

969
00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:39,920
Speaker 18: interesting to see. I'm looking forward to it and we'll

970
00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:40,799
Speaker 18: just see how it plays out.

971
00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:42,600
Speaker 5: I know you have the versatility to play at the

972
00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:43,279
Speaker 5: line or deep.

973
00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:45,120
Speaker 6: Do you have a preference, like, is there something you'd

974
00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:46,759
Speaker 6: like doing more than something else?

975
00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:47,680
Speaker 2: Nah?

976
00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:50,879
Speaker 6: Really, just you know, line me up wherever I'm gonna

977
00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:51,640
Speaker 6: get the job done.

978
00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:54,239
Speaker 18: But last year was my first time I really took

979
00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:55,880
Speaker 18: on a role and playing down in the box and

980
00:38:57,040 --> 00:38:59,799
Speaker 18: put up some of my best numbers. So just really

981
00:38:59,840 --> 00:39:02,480
Speaker 18: here to do whatever is needed for the team. To

982
00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:05,440
Speaker 18: be honest, Uh, I like being down more in the

983
00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:08,520
Speaker 18: boss is a lot more action, of course, I would say,

984
00:39:08,640 --> 00:39:10,640
Speaker 18: But of course I'll live majority of my career in

985
00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:13,120
Speaker 18: the post. So whatever the team needs, I'm willing to do.

986
00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:16,080
Speaker 6: Those are young guys betting that you know, those last

987
00:39:16,080 --> 00:39:19,839
Speaker 6: spots seed for you. All those guys, what have you seen?

988
00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:21,279
Speaker 3: Uh?

989
00:39:21,560 --> 00:39:24,239
Speaker 6: A willingness is just work, come to work every day

990
00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:25,000
Speaker 6: with the hard hat on.

991
00:39:25,600 --> 00:39:27,960
Speaker 18: Uh, with the two boss by their side, and willing

992
00:39:28,040 --> 00:39:30,839
Speaker 18: to to listen, to take coaching and go out there

993
00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:35,719
Speaker 18: and and and put forth their best effort. And you know,

994
00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:38,239
Speaker 18: it's it's incredible just to see how much they've grown

995
00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:40,600
Speaker 18: from O T A. So now Bubba being able to

996
00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:43,040
Speaker 18: close that game out for us T T T mag

997
00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:46,320
Speaker 18: about not finishing uh and having having probably some of

998
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:48,239
Speaker 18: the worst hands, but uh, he said he's gonna make

999
00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:50,399
Speaker 18: up for it. But no, it's good just to see

1000
00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:54,400
Speaker 18: those guys, you know, really be able to showcase their abilities.

1001
00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:57,160
Speaker 18: Put it on tape, man, Your your tape is your resume.

1002
00:39:57,400 --> 00:39:59,120
Speaker 18: And so I was proud to watch them on the

1003
00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:00,960
Speaker 18: side line to see what they're able to do. And

1004
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:02,440
Speaker 18: I know they're gonna continue to do more of that

1005
00:40:03,160 --> 00:40:04,160
Speaker 18: this upcoming camp.

1006
00:40:04,480 --> 00:40:08,160
Speaker 5: Because you're so first in gym's schemes. I think you

1007
00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:11,600
Speaker 5: said you get people drop some knowledge on your teammates, So, like,

1008
00:40:11,840 --> 00:40:13,560
Speaker 5: are there specific things you can point to that.

1009
00:40:13,600 --> 00:40:15,919
Speaker 6: Says I told this guy this about the defense.

1010
00:40:15,640 --> 00:40:17,120
Speaker 5: And he was able to pick that up right away.

1011
00:40:18,120 --> 00:40:18,239
Speaker 17: Uh.

1012
00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:21,840
Speaker 18: I wouldn't say necessarily one moment. Uh, try to just

1013
00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:24,040
Speaker 18: get him as much game as I can. Uh, being

1014
00:40:24,120 --> 00:40:26,120
Speaker 18: in the scheme for so long, being around the league

1015
00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:28,600
Speaker 18: for a substantial amount of time, all of it is beneficial.

1016
00:40:28,640 --> 00:40:29,320
Speaker 3: All of it is helpful.

1017
00:40:29,640 --> 00:40:31,360
Speaker 6: Uh So, whether it's in the film room or.

1018
00:40:31,640 --> 00:40:34,360
Speaker 18: A quick correction on the field, always just looking to

1019
00:40:34,400 --> 00:40:36,440
Speaker 18: be additional set of odds out there for the guys.

1020
00:40:36,680 --> 00:40:39,480
Speaker 6: And uh, like I said, man, we're all here too.

1021
00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:43,400
Speaker 18: Because we need everybody, and so the quicker we can

1022
00:40:43,440 --> 00:40:47,480
Speaker 18: get everybody up to, you know, the speed, whether it's

1023
00:40:47,520 --> 00:40:48,480
Speaker 18: the playbook.

1024
00:40:48,239 --> 00:40:50,040
Speaker 6: Or just knowledge of the game, it only makes us

1025
00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:50,799
Speaker 6: that much better.

1026
00:40:52,080 --> 00:40:53,680
Speaker 5: What do you think when you look at that front

1027
00:40:53,719 --> 00:40:55,880
Speaker 5: forward right, I mean, Miles, it's been a stable here,

1028
00:40:55,960 --> 00:40:56,680
Speaker 5: but then there's a lot of.

1029
00:40:56,719 --> 00:40:58,439
Speaker 3: New guys around him this year. Yeah.

1030
00:40:58,640 --> 00:41:01,120
Speaker 18: Uh, and you're seeing glimpses of that every single practice.

1031
00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:03,640
Speaker 18: You know, It's not just you can't just focus on

1032
00:41:03,719 --> 00:41:05,440
Speaker 18: one god anymore. You know, you have to now look

1033
00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:07,719
Speaker 18: to the other side and Ze or you know, coming

1034
00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:09,759
Speaker 18: behind him as oh, and then you have you know,

1035
00:41:09,920 --> 00:41:12,120
Speaker 18: DT in the middle, Jordan all those guys.

1036
00:41:12,239 --> 00:41:14,480
Speaker 6: So uh, it makes our job a lot easier to

1037
00:41:14,600 --> 00:41:14,960
Speaker 6: back end.

1038
00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:18,719
Speaker 18: And I think Miles will also echo it, the fact

1039
00:41:18,760 --> 00:41:21,160
Speaker 18: that he loves having, you know, a talented d line

1040
00:41:21,800 --> 00:41:24,480
Speaker 18: to alleviate some of the pressure on him, and I

1041
00:41:24,520 --> 00:41:26,320
Speaker 18: think that's going to help us out tremendously.
