We we thought we needed 5 00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:16,400 Speaker 1: to add some youth to the defensive line. And you know, 6 00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:18,480 Speaker 1: this kid is you know, just under six four, three 7 00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:22,560 Speaker 1: hundred and fifteen pounds, thirty four inch arms and freaky athletic. 8 00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:25,319 Speaker 1: So you know, down the Senior Bowl he had a 9 00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:29,040 Speaker 1: really good week and you know, dra Patterson, you know, 10 00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:31,040 Speaker 1: I think the world of him and Brian Cox and 11 00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:32,919 Speaker 1: you know, getting a guy like this that can come 12 00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:34,559 Speaker 1: in and develop with the depth that we have and 13 00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:37,720 Speaker 1: you know, getting high ceiling for this player. So it works, 14 00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:40,720 Speaker 1: Haded to add another player to our our front seven. 15 00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:43,680 Speaker 2: How important was that week at the Senior Bowl for you? 16 00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:45,400 Speaker 2: It's just a guy who's coming from a smaller school. 17 00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:46,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, he's at Toledo. 18 00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:49,960 Speaker 1: He's an older kid, he's twenty four, a little bit 19 00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,000 Speaker 1: of a late bloomer, but yeah, that was was really 20 00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:53,720 Speaker 1: important in the schemes that they play too. You know, 21 00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:55,840 Speaker 1: some of these guys, the defensive linemen are asked to 22 00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,000 Speaker 1: read and react. You know know that I always taught 23 00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:00,279 Speaker 1: to get on edges. It's somewhat of a selfless job 24 00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:02,639 Speaker 1: at times in there in terms of the scheme that 25 00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:05,320 Speaker 1: you're you're asked to play. So when you see him 26 00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:07,440 Speaker 1: getting stagger stance, line up as a three technique and 27 00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:10,720 Speaker 1: get upfield and use his length, you know, you could 28 00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:12,800 Speaker 1: really see, you know, what this kid would be able 29 00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:16,759 Speaker 1: to potentially do. So yeah, we're we're excited to work 30 00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:17,080 Speaker 1: with him. 31 00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:19,280 Speaker 2: What do you make of your front seven now and 32 00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:22,440 Speaker 2: kind of that identity guys. 33 00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:23,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a lot of depth.

I'm excited about the group. 35 00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:28,759 Speaker 1: You know, again, we got to do a better job, 36 00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:30,160 Speaker 1: you know, stopping the run this year, and I think 37 00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:31,400 Speaker 1: we helped out with some of the depth. 38 00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:33,839 Speaker 3: And then just if we can get the third down. 39 00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:35,759 Speaker 1: You know, we've got a lot of options in terms 40 00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:38,160 Speaker 1: of you know, where guys can line up in versatility. 41 00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:41,800 Speaker 1: You know, Chauncey's got some versatility. There's got some versatility, 42 00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:45,640 Speaker 1: you know obviously with uh Carter who he you know, 43 00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:47,520 Speaker 1: there's there's some versatile pieces in there that can move 44 00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:48,240 Speaker 1: around and. 45 00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:51,000 Speaker 3: That can be difficult, difficult for offenses. So I'm excited 46 00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:52,440 Speaker 3: about the group. You know, we'll see how they all 47 00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:52,960 Speaker 3: come together. 48 00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:56,559 Speaker 1: But you know we've got again Andrea Patterson and Brian Cox, 49 00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:58,600 Speaker 1: I think a lot of and you know they're gonna. 50 00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:00,640 Speaker 3: Have got some really good depth in competition. You know 51 00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:02,640 Speaker 3: in the front seven, when you go for. 52 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,000 Speaker 1: A guy at this particular position, you know you have 53 00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:08,120 Speaker 1: Dexter there, so do you and you guys start thinking, 54 00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:10,200 Speaker 1: you know, who is going to compliment him because you know. 55 00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:11,000 Speaker 3: He's going to be there. 56 00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:14,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, There's we always talk about four hands. There's 57 00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:16,480 Speaker 1: oftentimes there's four hands on Dexter Lawrence. So you know, 58 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:19,600 Speaker 1: if you can get somebody on the opposite side of 59 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:21,799 Speaker 1: Dexter that can win one on ones or that that's 60 00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:23,400 Speaker 1: going to see a lot of ones one on ones 61 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:26,400 Speaker 1: and has the ability to win win those matchups consistently, 62 00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:28,320 Speaker 1: then you know that makes it difficult as well. 63 00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:31,399 Speaker 4: You hited a lot to the front seven. Uh even 64 00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:37,040 Speaker 4: if dual you're talking about Roy Robertson, Harris Ledbetters. How 65 00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 4: important is that to you to sort of rebuild that 66 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:42,840 Speaker 4: unit as a whole. 67 00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:46,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, it was important, And you know we didn't come 68 00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:47,480 Speaker 1: in to day saying, hey, we have to have a 69 00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:49,840 Speaker 1: three technique. But we went with the board, we went 70 00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,600 Speaker 1: and how we saw it, but it was it was important, 71 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:54,400 Speaker 1: you know, not just stopping the run, but getting after 72 00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:54,840 Speaker 1: the passer. 73 00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:56,600 Speaker 3: And you know, again. 74 00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:58,200 Speaker 1: We talked about an identity a little bit last night 75 00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:01,320 Speaker 1: with with Carter.

So yeah, 170 00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:28,359 Speaker 1: it was along when whatever. It was a couple hours, 171 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:32,320 Speaker 1: you know, waiting to pick. So, yeah, it's it can 172 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:35,279 Speaker 1: be painful sometimes watching that. 173 00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,400 Speaker 2: Is this another example? I think he came on a 174 00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:37,960 Speaker 2: thirty visit. 175 00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:40,120 Speaker 3: He did this another. 176 00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,719 Speaker 2: Example of whatever you were able to gather from that visit. 177 00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:45,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, and again we met with him at the Senior 178 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:47,200 Speaker 1: Bowl initially, and they do a great job down there 179 00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:48,359 Speaker 1: of allotting us time. 180 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:49,919 Speaker 3: And you know, we have a good process at the. 181 00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:51,480 Speaker 1: Senior Bowl in terms of how we set up our 182 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:54,760 Speaker 1: what we do. And you know, I think again Dave's staff, 183 00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:56,359 Speaker 1: you know the fact that those guys are willing to 184 00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:58,320 Speaker 1: come down on off week and help out when they 185 00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:02,120 Speaker 1: do so. Again, maybe you guys can maybe there's a 186 00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:04,320 Speaker 1: trend these thirty visits that we take. But you know, 187 00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:07,039 Speaker 1: I'd rather be you know, accurate with the information that 188 00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:08,680 Speaker 1: we haven't really get to know the players and know 189 00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:11,880 Speaker 1: if they fit or don't fit, versus you know, trying 190 00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:13,600 Speaker 1: to play a game or not getting all the information 191 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:15,840 Speaker 1: and missing on you know, character or. 192 00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:16,480 Speaker 3: Something like that. 193 00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:18,840 Speaker 4: How do you look at a guy this position when 194 00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:20,960 Speaker 4: twenty four years old? Do you look at age there? 195 00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:21,600 Speaker 3: Does it matter? 196 00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:23,280 Speaker 4: Does it mean a ton to you? Do you have 197 00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:24,040 Speaker 4: to view them differently. 198 00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:26,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, not really, he's a little you know why, you know, 199 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:27,960 Speaker 1: why is he that old? 200 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:28,040 Speaker 5: What? 201 00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:29,840 Speaker 1: You know, again, we're still coming out of the COVID 202 00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:33,200 Speaker 1: stage and some of that stuff. So you look at that, 203 00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:35,200 Speaker 1: you look at the durability, you know, what's the mileage 204 00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:37,800 Speaker 1: on the player, and then you know, if the medical's fine. 205 00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:40,000 Speaker 3: And there's really no concerns, then then you're okay with him. 206 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,720 Speaker 1: And again at his age, coming from the school he's 207 00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:46,040 Speaker 1: at with you know, my faith, and you know the 208 00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:48,560 Speaker 1: coaches that he's going to come to and the veterans 209 00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:50,400 Speaker 1: that are in that room. You know, somebody like this 210 00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:52,000 Speaker 1: can can really flourish in that room. 211 00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:54,600 Speaker 4: You look at it differently by position at all. I mean, 212 00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:56,920 Speaker 4: like Tyler Shuck was the guy that was drafted today. 213 00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:59,640 Speaker 4: Obviously older doesn't matter by position. Do you look at 214 00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:02,160 Speaker 4: it as like, oh, yeah, maybe a twenty four to 215 00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:04,520 Speaker 4: twenty five year old guy should dominate if he's playing 216 00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:05,800 Speaker 4: against nineteen year olds. 217 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,280 Speaker 1: Yeah and that yeah, yeah, I understand what you're saying, 218 00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:10,640 Speaker 1: and but that doesn't affect us, you know, whether we 219 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:11,400 Speaker 1: draft him or not. 220 00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:13,800 Speaker 3: You know, it's uh, they're they're that age. 221 00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:15,840 Speaker 1: Why or that that age and again coming out of 222 00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:18,559 Speaker 1: the COVID where you know some people had the six years. 223 00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:21,560 Speaker 1: But yeah, you do look at that and you assess it, 224 00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:23,360 Speaker 1: and then that's where you know, the Senior Bowl versus 225 00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:25,600 Speaker 1: a different competition, you have to look at the scheme too. 226 00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:26,680 Speaker 3: I think you really have to. 227 00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:29,680 Speaker 1: Understand what the school and the staff is asking the 228 00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:31,800 Speaker 1: player to do, and then you know how that translates 229 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:33,000 Speaker 1: to what you're going to ask him to do. 230 00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:35,720 Speaker 2: So what Duel said that you know he's ready to go? 231 00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:37,520 Speaker 2: You said last night, you guys are good with this foot, 232 00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:38,240 Speaker 2: but do you have to. 233 00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:39,319 Speaker 3: Manage that at all? 234 00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:41,760 Speaker 2: You can plan to beause I don't know exactly the 235 00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:43,640 Speaker 2: extent of it isn't know what you've heard from your doctors. 236 00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:45,079 Speaker 2: Just like, how are you going to approach that with him? 237 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:46,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, he's uh, he's good to go. 238 00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:50,440 Speaker 1: I asked him he was Sunday or Monday? And uh, 239 00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:52,440 Speaker 1: I said, Hey, if you're gonna be working out, can 240 00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:54,720 Speaker 1: you just send me something, you know, let me know 241 00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:58,320 Speaker 1: you're you can run or jump or something. So he 242 00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:01,400 Speaker 1: he was home in Philly and he's running up a 243 00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:03,840 Speaker 1: hill like the grass is probably this high, but he's 244 00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:07,040 Speaker 1: sprinting up this hill and then he's doing linebacker drill 245 00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:09,680 Speaker 1: shuffle runs up the hill, and then the last video 246 00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:12,760 Speaker 1: clip he looks at me and he points at me 247 00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:14,319 Speaker 1: and then he does a standing backflip. 248 00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:17,360 Speaker 3: So I was like, foot looks good. Foot looks good. 249 00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:20,720 Speaker 1: So yeah, I don't have any concern right now. We'll 250 00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:22,840 Speaker 1: see when the volume picks up in the load, you know, 251 00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:25,800 Speaker 1: but he's good to go. He has zero pain in 252 00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:28,320 Speaker 1: the foot, so you know, we feel good about Our 253 00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:30,760 Speaker 1: medical staff feels good about it. But we we. 254 00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:34,520 Speaker 5: You're just whether it's ab Dual or some of these 255 00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:37,960 Speaker 5: other draft picks. I'd say we have conversations and account 256 00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:41,720 Speaker 5: for that Dan leading up to rookie mini camp, and 257 00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:45,400 Speaker 5: some of the draft picks will just do individual drills, 258 00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:47,640 Speaker 5: not much team. 259 00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:50,280 Speaker 6: They won't do team. They won't do seven on seven. 260 00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:53,280 Speaker 5: You know, quarterback will probably do it just because there's 261 00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:55,640 Speaker 5: no rush but the running. And you know, these guys 262 00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:57,800 Speaker 5: that have been on visits, We've talked about this before, 263 00:09:57,840 --> 00:09:59,640 Speaker 5: and they're traveling and they're trying to get a work 264 00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:03,360 Speaker 5: out in the hotel and they're not really properly you know, 265 00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:06,680 Speaker 5: working out for football. It's through no fault of their own. 266 00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:10,120 Speaker 5: So you know, we have i'd say, significant conversations each 267 00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:13,440 Speaker 5: year leading up to rookie Mini Camp and then the 268 00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:17,560 Speaker 5: plan for these guys to get them implemented into our program. 269 00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:20,120 Speaker 5: You know, we'll have a specific plan for those guys. 270 00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:23,559 Speaker 7: The last year, you had a lot of young you 271 00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:26,120 Speaker 7: know a lot of young players, rookies came in and 272 00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:29,000 Speaker 7: how to take big roles early on. I'm curious, but 273 00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:31,280 Speaker 7: they seemed like they were going into rooms that were 274 00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:34,520 Speaker 7: relatively young or you know, some guys that were better 275 00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:38,560 Speaker 7: at this point.
