1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,560
Speaker 1: Made a chance to ask Brian a little bit earlier

2
00:00:02,560 --> 00:00:07,800
Speaker 1: about Miles Ryan. But I know he's played a variety

3
00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:10,920
Speaker 1: of roles, it looks like in your defense, especially the

4
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:13,880
Speaker 1: last few weeks here. Um, so I wanted to ask

5
00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:17,239
Speaker 1: you just how has he, in your opinion, been able

6
00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:19,319
Speaker 1: to handle all that's been thrown at him, given that

7
00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:22,520
Speaker 1: he's a first year guy, and that it does look

8
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:29,080
Speaker 1: like he's he's handled multiple roles for you. So we

9
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:32,480
Speaker 1: can back this up just from Miles you know, first

10
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:36,360
Speaker 1: interaction with him. You know, you you watch his tape

11
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:38,960
Speaker 1: and the one thing you can tell when he was

12
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:42,279
Speaker 1: playing in college is, man, this kid can compete, right,

13
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:44,319
Speaker 1: he loves to compete and you can feel it when

14
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:48,240
Speaker 1: you watch the tape. Then when we started meet with

15
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 1: with him in the off season, ask excellent questions, you know,

16
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 1: really studied, you know, really worked hard at that. You know,

17
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 1: he would come with us, you know, he would pay

18
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 1: attention and every meeting, come back you know later in

19
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:06,040
Speaker 1: the day, ask questions. And then we came into the

20
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 1: building really nothing changed. You know, kept asking why why this,

21
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:12,319
Speaker 1: why that? Really trying to get a further understanding of

22
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 1: the defense. And you can just tell you know, you

23
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 1: think it's competitive us. You know that he's carried with

24
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 1: him probably his entire life. Marry that up with you know,

25
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:25,319
Speaker 1: his passion for football and you know, willingness to learn

26
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 1: and really you're just getting out there on the field

27
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 1: of you know him, Yeah, showing up in multiple rules

28
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 1: for us. A nice was it to see that that

29
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 1: work payoff with the turnover the other night? You know,

30
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 1: I'm excited every single guy every time they you know,

31
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 1: get their hands on football. Um, you know, definitely proud

32
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 1: of them, you know, for making a big play when

33
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 1: we needed it. Hopefully we can have a couple more

34
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 1: than Yeah. Next question, Bob Socie and ask anybody else

35
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:08,080
Speaker 1: a rady mem if you want to ask a question

36
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 1: of thanks Stacy, Hey, Mike, how are you doing you good?

37
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 1: How are you good? Good? I want to ask about

38
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 1: a couple of safeties who are veterans, you know, one

39
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 1: it's been around for a long time and a leader

40
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:23,359
Speaker 1: for a long time, and another who's come in and

41
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 1: become an immediate leader for this team and their impact

42
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 1: on on guys like Miles and you know the rest

43
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:33,959
Speaker 1: of the secondary obviously Devin mccordy on and off the field,

44
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 1: and Adrian Phillips and how those two with their communication,

45
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 1: you know, their leadership by example have really had an

46
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:45,360
Speaker 1: impact on the young players especially, but you know everybody

47
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 1: else in that secondary that you're working with, So just

48
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 1: as a general group here, I think every veteran player,

49
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:56,359
Speaker 1: anybody with a couple of years under their belt, has

50
00:02:56,400 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 1: done a phenomenal job with the young guys. Know, very

51
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:02,800
Speaker 1: proud of those guys. You know, the way they interact

52
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 1: with them and you know, keep them engaged and hold

53
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 1: them kind of standard that they were held to, you know,

54
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 1: whether it was here or somewhere else. That part of

55
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,360
Speaker 1: it is just awesome as a coach to be a

56
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 1: part of talking about Devin, you know, Devin's Devin. You know,

57
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 1: he's a tremendous leader, you know, on and off the

58
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 1: football field. His knowledge of the scheme because you know

59
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 1: he's been here forever and the way he applies it

60
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 1: within the game is second to none. And you know,

61
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 1: his ability to kind of translate you know, what the

62
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 1: coaches are looking for to players. You know, um is

63
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 1: also another trait that is invaluable. And talking about Adrian,

64
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 1: you know, Adrian came in asked a tremendous amount of questions.

65
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 1: Really the guys at Grinder. He's in here all the

66
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 1: time watching the tape. We can see that and you

67
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 1: guys can see it there on on the tape as well.

68
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 1: You know, he's very um, you know, he hears a

69
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 1: very good feel out there on the football field, what

70
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 1: the appointment's trying to do? Um, you know who I'm

71
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 1: working with him. He does a great job of the

72
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 1: younger guys as well, and uh, you know, I'm happy

73
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 1: to have him the part of team also. I want

74
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:31,279
Speaker 1: to you know, Jason uh is so much alike with

75
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:35,359
Speaker 1: Devin metally physically, but obviously uh you know, with with

76
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 1: the personality strengths and the quality of character there. Um,

77
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 1: you know. And when he came in, he was well

78
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:44,720
Speaker 1: established in the league of veteran and I'm curiously how

79
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 1: how he was able to acclimate himself to the culture there.

80
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:52,600
Speaker 1: And as you've watched him, you know, guys like him

81
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 1: and Devin being late in their careers, closer to the

82
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:59,040
Speaker 1: end than the beginning, and just the willingness to share

83
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 1: what they know with young players who you know, potentially

84
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 1: could be taking snaps away from them. You know, the

85
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 1: guys they competed with. But has it been impressive the

86
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:11,280
Speaker 1: way the guy like Jason you know, came in and

87
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 1: has been able to become a part of the fabric

88
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 1: of this team to the point where he's a captain

89
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:22,160
Speaker 1: and in his willingness too to impart knowledge and wisdom

90
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:23,480
Speaker 1: of those young guys. And I know you mentioned the

91
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 1: jazz of Jennia football. The veterans has been great, but

92
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 1: again with him in particular. Yeah, so look, Jason, I

93
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 1: absolutely loved Jason. You know, his passion for football and

94
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 1: passion for life, and you know what he brings to

95
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:40,920
Speaker 1: work every day even though things may not be the

96
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 1: best for him. You know, I absolutely love the guy.

97
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 1: You know, he gives your everything. He's got all the time. Um.

98
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 1: You know, when he came in, you know, again, things

99
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 1: weren't great for me. He was coming off an injury,

100
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 1: but you know, he kept working, kept grind and kept

101
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 1: learning and quickly became one of our most reliable players.

102
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 1: And still to this day, you know, he's our one

103
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 1: of our most reliable guys. He's smart, tough, dependable. Um.

104
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 1: You know, really enjoy working with him and you know,

105
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:19,600
Speaker 1: to watch him interact with the younger guys is you know, tremendous,

106
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:22,840
Speaker 1: like what he's willing to do for jac what he's

107
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:27,040
Speaker 1: willing to do for Miles, you know, Dougger and guys

108
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:29,360
Speaker 1: out of the position group as well, just trying to

109
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:33,800
Speaker 1: teach them and you know, not about not only about football,

110
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 1: but about life. And you know, he's you know, he's

111
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:41,160
Speaker 1: a great guy. And then he's guys can not say

112
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 1: or positive things about Jason Cordy, Um, you know he

113
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 1: you know, he's just a true professional. He's an absolute

114
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 1: true professional. But and do you think it would stop there?

115
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 1: But I'm just so impressed with him as a person

116
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:01,719
Speaker 1: as well. And you know, the way he interacts with everybody,

117
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 1: treats everybody with a great deal of respect. It's great,

118
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 1: it's it's it's amazing. Thank you, Mike, I appreciate it. Yeah,
