Speaker 1: It's so guys good this game. Yeah, this looks good.

00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:13,160
Speaker 1: You guys are good. It takes a lot for that, Yeah,

3
00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:17,119
Speaker 1: but is repossible, but it's nice. Maybe you've turned on

4
00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:21,480
Speaker 1: the lights too. Pretty good. There is a guy that

5
00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:25,120
Speaker 1: loves football. How nice is it to have, like you said, games,

Speaker 2: Yeah? Man, it's always It's always fun, especially a week

8
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:34,120
Speaker 2: one in the opening day. I feel like there's always

9
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 2: a build up through the off season through CAM to

10
00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:40,360
Speaker 2: finally get to this day. So a lot of preparation

11
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 2: and excitement coming this for this weekend. I feel like

12
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:47,479
Speaker 2: you've been asked this question a lot, but here you'd

13
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 2: be pretty type of the Mac.

14
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:52,920
Speaker 1: Sweter for him this year makes you think he's back

15
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:54,600
Speaker 1: for a year.

16
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 2: Mac has always been consistent who he is, but this year,

17
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:04,759
Speaker 2: like he's he's just been super super consistent at all

18
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 2: times in the building, outside of the building, on the field,

19
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 2: off the field. He's a great leader and he's fun

20
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 2: to go out there and compete with. And we have

21
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 2: a lot of good competition that he's last month with

22
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 2: our or with our defense, and it's been fun. So

23
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 2: I'm excited to go out there and you know, begin

24
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 2: that journey with them through the season this year. But

25
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 2: he's doing a fantastic job and he's fun to go

26
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:30,120
Speaker 2: out there to work with. One of the things he

27
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:34,120
Speaker 2: said he made was one of the poor cards the building.

28
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 2: How have you seen that? The man himself specific like

29
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 2: I said, in consistency, He's always had my respect and

30
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 2: he you know, I think every year though, as an

31
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 2: NFL player and as just players, we all are trying

32
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 2: to earn you know, our teammates respect, our coaches respect.

33
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 2: That's part of the process. That's you as a competitor,

34
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 2: that's you as a a player. We're always like when

35
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 2: I step out there on the field, especially at the

36
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 2: beginning of camp, like I'm I'm trying to earn my

37
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:08,240
Speaker 2: teammates respect. Like all the stuff in the past.

38
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:09,639
Speaker 1: Really don't It doesn't matter.

39
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:13,080
Speaker 2: I mean, obviously it helps me like process things and

40
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:15,959
Speaker 2: do things, but like I got to earn it again

41
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 2: every single day, and so you kind of have to

42
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 2: take that approach. And I think he's done a great

43
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 2: job of kind of doing that, and you know, I've

44
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 2: always had a respect for him, but he's doing a

45
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 2: great job.

46
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:27,639
Speaker 1: You know, what can you tell us working with Pharaoh

47
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:29,920
Speaker 1: Brown the last few weeks. What have you learned about him?

48
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's been brief, you know, just a little under

49
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:36,800
Speaker 2: a week. But you know it's fun to add a

50
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 2: guy like that that's you know, played in this league,

51
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 2: is proven done some good things to our room. You know,

52
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 2: we already had a great room and a fun room,

53
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 2: but you know he'll be a good ad for us

54
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:49,639
Speaker 2: and excited to continue to work with him.

55
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 1: Confidence do you have in the offense right now?

56
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 2: Stays good? Love conference, love camp. You gotta gotta have confidence.

57
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 2: So we're excited let's go out there and compete. How

58
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:05,920
Speaker 2: much of that stems from working with del Brian? You know,

59
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 2: how would you sort of sum up what it's been

60
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 2: like this off season? Man talking about consistency, I feel

61
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 2: like he's been very consistent with us and just who

62
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:17,800
Speaker 2: he is. I feel like he's bringing he brings a

63
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 2: lot of energy to our room and it's it's fun.

64
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 2: I think he bounces a lot of things off of us,

65
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 2: you know, feedback from us, him talking to us, and

66
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 2: it's kind of a back and forth in a lot

67
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 2: of ways. And you know, he's fun to be around,

68
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 2: for sure. You know he's been around at different places

69
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 2: here before head coach goes to college comes back, so's

70
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 2: he's had some different stops that's kind of added things

71
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 2: and you know his experience. So we definitely learned.

72
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 1: A lot in get you tired.

73
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 2: Of the Alabama talk or the alaballmatel who doesn't get

74
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 2: tired of Alabama? I mean, they're successful. You got to

75
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 2: give him credit, but you know, yeah, we're all a

76
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 2: little tired of Alabama on the person off side, when

77
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 2: it's the last four days been my exciting. Yeah, yeah,

78
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:11,840
Speaker 2: I just added added member to the family. So probably

79
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 2: my wife she's done. She's pretty good timing on these things. Uh,

80
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 2: you know, both times on the off weekend, so you know,

81
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:21,599
Speaker 2: it hasn't been too much conflict with football, which is great.

82
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 2: But man, it's it's been a it's been a blessing

83
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:28,599
Speaker 2: to add a daughter to my family. A lot of

84
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 2: family in right now, so it's been just a blessing.

85
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 2: But my wife's a rock star. She she she crushed it.

86
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:39,279
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, we'll see, we'll see, she'll she'll be

87
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:40,360
Speaker 2: at the game this year for sure.

88
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,279
Speaker 1: How excited about it about the two tight ed system?

89
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:46,239
Speaker 2: Would you be with you and Mike and SICKI playing

90
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:49,159
Speaker 2: together and what the options would be. I mean, Mike's

91
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 2: a great player and he's fun to go out there with.

92
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 2: We've worked together well through this camp, through the off season,

93
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 2: built a good relationship to so I mean he's a

94
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:00,600
Speaker 2: great player, has proven a lot in this league, and

95
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 2: I know he'll be ready to go, you know, come

96
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:04,840
Speaker 2: this weekend, and it'll be fun to go out there

97
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 2: and kind of try to create mismatches if we can,

98
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 2: and take advantage of those in a way. And I

99
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:14,280
Speaker 2: mean he's a he's a big target. So I mean

100
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 2: he's definitely a big matchup for us. You're speaking of mismatches.

101
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:19,920
Speaker 2: What have you seen from the safeties and linebackers from Philly?

102
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:21,919
Speaker 2: It seems like there's some new faces stepping up, some

103
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:25,239
Speaker 2: new face they've added that group. Yeah, I mean they're

104
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 2: good players, I mean for sure. I mean they've they've

105
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:30,840
Speaker 2: proven themselves. I mean, they were a great defense. They've

106
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 2: kind of new guys, but they've worked together and they're

107
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,359
Speaker 2: going to integrate, you know, just into their system. I

108
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 2: mean they have a great system. They had a great

109
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,360
Speaker 2: team last year and you know, Edmonds is a guy

110
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,160
Speaker 2: we played we played last year with Pittsburgh. But he's

111
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 2: a great player. I mean, he's been around this league,

112
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 2: they plays, and now he's with a new scheme, new team.

113
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:53,839
Speaker 2: I know he'll be probably fired up to go this

114
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:54,920
Speaker 2: weekend for the week one.

115
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:59,120
Speaker 1: Just going back to a question Doug asked you about

116
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:04,160
Speaker 1: waste confidence in the offense, I'm just wondering what your

117
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 1: confidence steps from.

118
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 2: I mean, is it the guys you have, how well

119
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 2: training camps still? I think it's everything, But I think

120
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,680
Speaker 2: it's just the consistent nature that we've gone out and

121
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 2: gone about every single day. I'm confident in the guys

122
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:22,600
Speaker 2: in those rooms. I feel like we have a lot

123
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 2: of talent in that room, and I think a lot

124
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:26,600
Speaker 2: of guys are excited to go out there and show it.

125
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 2: And I think the coaches breathe a lot of confidence

126
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:32,360
Speaker 2: in us as well, and they do a great job

127
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:34,680
Speaker 2: of just lifting us up because we have some great

128
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 2: players in there that are kind of ready to go

129
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 2: and show it.

130
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 1: And are there are any added pressures with the opener

131
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 1: this year?

132
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 2: I mean, you're going up against the team that was

133
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 2: just a few plays away from winning the Super Bowl

134
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 2: last year, and the fans are going to be extra rowdy,

135
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 2: on Sunday with Brady's return. Yeah, I mean it's a

136
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 2: big game for sure. I mean this is a really

137
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 2: good football team, and they showed that last year, you know,

138
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 2: going all to the Super Bowl. I mean, basically returning

139
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:06,840
Speaker 2: almost everybody. They're proven, They've been a lot of big games.

140
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 2: I mean, it's it's gonna be a tough ass for us,

141
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 2: for sure. I mean we're gonna have to be ready

142
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 2: to play play a full game, especially, so it'll be

143
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 2: a big game. I mean, it's a good team. It's

144
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 2: a tough, tough, tough ass for us. But you know,

145
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 2: we're just gonna keep putting in the work every single

146
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:23,920

149
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 2: come out that you know, you're like, okay, you kind

150

00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 2: to day process in just a week to week, so

153
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 2: I just try to stay in the moment, don't get

154
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 2: too far ahead of yourself, just trying to perfect your
