I 19 00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:59,280 Speaker 1: remember the last time I saw that at an NFL practice. 20 00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:01,360 Speaker 1: What was the atmos sphere and what was it like 21 00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:03,120 Speaker 1: there on the field trying to execute what the coaches 22 00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:06,160 Speaker 1: are asking of you. Oh man, that before the atmosphere 23 00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:07,800 Speaker 1: was great. Man. You know, it's still a great game 24 00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:10,360 Speaker 1: back out there, you know, actually popping the pad, you know, 25 00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:12,399 Speaker 1: actually tackling to the ground. You know, it's been a while, 26 00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:15,280 Speaker 1: and you know, with with the COVID situation, not being 27 00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:18,160 Speaker 1: able to be back and just to finally actually play football, 28 00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:19,679 Speaker 1: you know, a lot of tackling. It was great and 29 00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:21,920 Speaker 1: you know, all the guys were excited, so it was fun. 30 00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:24,720 Speaker 1: Oh j We've talked so much about the fact that 31 00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:27,600 Speaker 1: there's no preseason games this year. What you just talked 32 00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:30,320 Speaker 1: about in terms of the environment of a padded practice. 33 00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:33,199 Speaker 1: I know you haven't been through so many, but from 34 00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:37,319 Speaker 1: what you're experiencing, how close is it to simulating a 35 00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:40,720 Speaker 1: preseason game and how much substance is there that you 36 00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:43,040 Speaker 1: feel this is going to prepare you enough for what 37 00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:46,520 Speaker 1: lies ahead this season? Oh yeah, not having to appreciated 38 00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:48,560 Speaker 1: the game, you know, it's it's tough, you know, you know, 39 00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:51,360 Speaker 1: it's you know, it's gonna be tough not having that, 40 00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:53,080 Speaker 1: But you know, the coaches did a really good job 41 00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:55,240 Speaker 1: with justin and you know, trying to make create that 42 00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:58,520 Speaker 1: physical game atmosphere and like that game speed, and I 43 00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:01,200 Speaker 1: think we did a really good job of it. And 44 00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:04,120 Speaker 1: how how necessary is it o Shane, because you know, 45 00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:05,920 Speaker 1: like you said, you don't have the preseason games and 46 00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:08,160 Speaker 1: you want to be ready to go against the Steelers, 47 00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:09,560 Speaker 1: who you know, whatere to come in here and they're 48 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:11,120 Speaker 1: gonna try to knock the you know what out of you. 49 00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:14,160 Speaker 1: How essential is it to have practices like these, to 50 00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:17,000 Speaker 1: have live tackling droves where you're taking guys to the 51 00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:20,080 Speaker 1: ground so you are ready for that first regular season 52 00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:22,720 Speaker 1: game when it gets here. Oh yeah, it's it's it's 53 00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:25,000 Speaker 1: it's very important. You know. You know, guys are rusting. 54 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:26,640 Speaker 1: We've been off for like eight nine months. You know, 55 00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:29,480 Speaker 1: guys haven't played physical football with Show the Pads and Almason, 56 00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:31,720 Speaker 1: So you know, just to actually do it and knocked 57 00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:33,440 Speaker 1: the rust off, you know, it's great and I feel 58 00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:35,920 Speaker 1: like we get a good job today. Speaking of the 59 00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:40,080 Speaker 1: communication aspect and knocking off the rust. Patrick Graham on 60 00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:43,000 Speaker 1: the walkie talkie today, having an opportunity to communicate with 61 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,880 Speaker 1: the defense as you go through your plays, what was 62 00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:48,600 Speaker 1: it like to finally get down the jargon in the 63 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:53,239 Speaker 1: language of the defense from him in a game atmosphere. Oh, 64 00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:54,680 Speaker 1: it was great, you know, and I feel like we 65 00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:57,120 Speaker 1: do a good job of that, you know, throughout practice. 66 00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:00,120 Speaker 1: You know, it's you know, it's it's always simulating the game. Mean, 67 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:02,680 Speaker 1: when is not a scrimmer. So you know, I feel 68 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:04,400 Speaker 1: like we're getting a pretty good grasp on it. And 69 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:06,640 Speaker 1: you know, it was good to finally, you know, actually 70 00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:08,480 Speaker 1: put it to work today. We've had a few times 71 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:10,720 Speaker 1: to talk to Blake Martinez and he just seems like 72 00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:13,200 Speaker 1: such an excellent conduit for what the coaches trying to 73 00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:15,239 Speaker 1: get through to you guys on the field. What is 74 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:18,520 Speaker 1: it like him having there with you as your mic linebacker, commuting, 75 00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:22,320 Speaker 1: communicating to you pre snap. Blaze is great, man. You know, 76 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:24,160 Speaker 1: he's a very smart guy. You know, I got a 77 00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:26,120 Speaker 1: lot of respect for him, and he's great. Man. I'm 78 00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:29,000 Speaker 1: glad he's back there. You know, our our play our 79 00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:30,600 Speaker 1: heart of caller, and you know he does a great 80 00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:32,919 Speaker 1: job with lane to plays and making sure everybody's in 81 00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:35,840 Speaker 1: the right spot. Man, he's great. Oh j this is 82 00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:39,640 Speaker 1: certainly a year of adjustment for everybody, and you're only 83 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,680 Speaker 1: entering year number two in the NFL. In order to 84 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,920 Speaker 1: put things in perspective, this is actually the third defense 85 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 1: that you're digesting in the span of three years. If 86 00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:51,200 Speaker 1: we take it to consideration, of course, your experience at 87 00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:54,000 Speaker 1: old dominion. From the outside looking in, I think it's 88 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:55,840 Speaker 1: easy for a lot of us to say, Wow, that's 89 00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:58,640 Speaker 1: a lot to throw at a young player so early 90 00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:01,840 Speaker 1: in his career. What has it been like adjusting to 91 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:06,160 Speaker 1: so many different defenses, especially now another one in the 92 00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:09,000 Speaker 1: span of just three years. Yeah, I mean, you know, 93 00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:13,280 Speaker 1: it's it's always gonna be an adjustment, But uh, I 94 00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:15,680 Speaker 1: wouldn't say it was Football is football. You know, you 95 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:17,960 Speaker 1: go out there, you get between the lines, and you know, 96 00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:19,800 Speaker 1: you just you just play football. You know. I'm just 97 00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:22,880 Speaker 1: focused on coming in every day and you know, taking 98 00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:26,320 Speaker 1: the meetings to the field and just you know, going 99 00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:28,320 Speaker 1: hard every single day and trying to get better. How 100 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:31,240 Speaker 1: did those now that you're on the field and actually 101 00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:34,760 Speaker 1: executing the plays, Oshane, you look back, how did do 102 00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:38,080 Speaker 1: you do you think those zoom meetings help you be 103 00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:40,800 Speaker 1: prepared and be ready to go when you did show 104 00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:42,839 Speaker 1: up here for training camp, which is going to be 105 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:45,760 Speaker 1: compressed into a much less time than would usually have 106 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:49,960 Speaker 1: the zoom is they were, you know, with the COVID 107 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:51,960 Speaker 1: situation going on, it was a really good way for 108 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,600 Speaker 1: the team to stay to like stay together virtually and 109 00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,320 Speaker 1: you know, socially distance still and you know, I feel 110 00:04:57,360 --> 00:04:59,400 Speaker 1: like it was it was a great adjustment that the 111 00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:01,880 Speaker 1: NFL made because we were still able to get those 112 00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:03,960 Speaker 1: meetings down and you know, not completely go out with 113 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:05,600 Speaker 1: great away from football. You know, it's a good way 114 00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:08,560 Speaker 1: to keep your team together and you know, still communicating, 115 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,560 Speaker 1: still keep like the schemes fresh in our head for training. Account. 116 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:15,440 Speaker 1: As far as the interaction within your group, I think 117 00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 1: it's interesting to go Shane, because there's a lot of 118 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:20,440 Speaker 1: youth at your position, which means that that comes with 119 00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:23,599 Speaker 1: a lot of upside. But you also have veterans such 120 00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:27,440 Speaker 1: as Marcus Golden who just returned, and Kyler Facral. Having 121 00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:31,120 Speaker 1: those two guys to compliment the rest of the unit, 122 00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:34,880 Speaker 1: including yourself. What are the dynamics like in that positional 123 00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:37,880 Speaker 1: room as you're digesting this new defense and can lean 124 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:43,480 Speaker 1: on some established players at that position. Yeah, uh, Marcus 125 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:45,960 Speaker 1: Golan Coli fact room. Man. Those guys are great, man. 126 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:47,760 Speaker 1: You know, they've been in the league a little while longer, 127 00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:49,800 Speaker 1: so they you know, it's a good any time I 128 00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:51,280 Speaker 1: got a question, I can go to them, you know, 129 00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:53,800 Speaker 1: and they're always open to answer any question that I'm asking. 130 00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:55,320 Speaker 1: You know, we all lean on each other and we 131 00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:57,640 Speaker 1: motivate each other every single day, and we know we're 132 00:05:57,640 --> 00:05:59,560 Speaker 1: taking it one day at time, folks on getting better 133 00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,359 Speaker 1: every single it. We're drawn by Oshan Ziminez giants, outside 134 00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:05,719 Speaker 1: linebacker and edge rusher. When you finished with last season, ocehan, 135 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:08,440 Speaker 1: you headed into your off season before all the craziness started. 136 00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:12,000 Speaker 1: What were your major goals in terms of where you 137 00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:16,679 Speaker 1: wanted to improve from a football standpoint? Was it strength, technique, hands? 138 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:19,440 Speaker 1: What was your big focuss offseason and where you wanted 139 00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:22,120 Speaker 1: to improve as a football player.

You know, 141 00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:28,480 Speaker 1: I was working out every single day, making sure I 142 00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:31,720 Speaker 1: was I was conditioned, and you know, just studying the 143 00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:34,359 Speaker 1: film and the things I didn't I didn't quite grasp 144 00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:36,320 Speaker 1: last year to just make sure I got to downpack 145 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:38,080 Speaker 1: this year, you know, just taking that step as a 146 00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:40,320 Speaker 1: second year player. What do you think you learned over 147 00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:42,680 Speaker 1: the course of your rookie year that will help you 148 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:45,200 Speaker 1: make that jump and take that next step in your 149 00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:48,440 Speaker 1: second year, what did you learn about the NFL? I 150 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:50,599 Speaker 1: learned you know, you can never be too high, you 151 00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:52,479 Speaker 1: can never be too low. You know it's gonna be 152 00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:54,640 Speaker 1: ups and downs, and every single day you just gotta 153 00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:56,200 Speaker 1: come back and throw a punch and you just fight 154 00:06:56,240 --> 00:07:00,719 Speaker 1: through it. O Shane related to that adjustment, how much 155 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:04,240 Speaker 1: has the speed of the game slowed down for you, 156 00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:06,400 Speaker 1: would you say based on what you saw in the 157 00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:10,120 Speaker 1: field last season versus how quickly maybe you're reading and 158 00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:14,640 Speaker 1: digesting plays throughout the course of this offseason. Oh, well, 159 00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:16,920 Speaker 1: you know, I haven't.

Do some of the things that 171 00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:50,320 Speaker 1: Patrick Graham's trying to do with his scheme really excite 172 00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:52,960 Speaker 1: you for how when you get into game situations, they 173 00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:56,520 Speaker 1: can help you guys get to the quarterback. Oh yeah, definitely, Man, 174 00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:59,600 Speaker 1: this is great to see. Uh, you know, it's it's 175 00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:01,480 Speaker 1: a very fund scheme to playing and you know it, 176 00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:03,920 Speaker 1: there's always something you never know what's gonna come at you. 177 00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:06,280 Speaker 1: And I feel like that's great and I'm just you know, 178 00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:09,160 Speaker 1: I'm excited for it. I can't wait. Well, it based 179 00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:11,640 Speaker 1: on the movement O Shane within this scheme and the 180 00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:15,560 Speaker 1: multiple fronts. When you look at the outlook for this season, 181 00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:19,600 Speaker 1: usually teams always have a total of sacks in their mind, Hey, 182 00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:22,680 Speaker 1: this is our goal. How much is it going to be? 183 00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:26,480 Speaker 1: Maybe more of a group effort, feel as opposed to 184 00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:30,040 Speaker 1: leaning on specifically one guy in particular to be doing 185 00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:34,360 Speaker 1: the whole heavy lifting in that department. You know, like 186 00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:36,480 Speaker 1: I said, you know, we're all we're all we're all 187 00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:38,680 Speaker 1: leaning on each other, we're all motivating each other. You know, 188 00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:41,040 Speaker 1: we're just focused on just coming in and you know, 189 00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:43,400 Speaker 1: you know, just being all the best us. You know 190 00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:45,480 Speaker 1: that we're gonna be rushing out there together as smart 191 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:47,520 Speaker 1: as union and and it's gonna be good to see. 192 00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:49,400 Speaker 1: The final question for me, Oshane, and you don't have 193 00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:51,360 Speaker 1: to put numbers on it or anything like that, but 194 00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:54,240 Speaker 1: what are some of your overarching goals for you as 195 00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:56,839 Speaker 1: a team and for you as an individual player heading 196 00:08:56,840 --> 00:09:00,400 Speaker 1: into your second year. Yeah, I'm just focused on getting 197 00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:02,920 Speaker 1: better every day. Man. I'm just ready to just put 198 00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:05,120 Speaker 1: the team first and just you know, you know when 199 00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:09,079 Speaker 1: it is the main goal ultimately, man, oh, Shane, before 200 00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:12,720 Speaker 1: we let you go, speaking of goals, Bret Bielema, your 201 00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:16,080 Speaker 1: new positional coach, recently spoke to the media and one 202 00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:18,600 Speaker 1: of the things he talked about was the fact that 203 00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:23,400 Speaker 1: he is preaching outside linebacker d n A in the room, 204 00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:25,840 Speaker 1: which I found to be a very interesting term and 205 00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:29,720 Speaker 1: it's part of his philosophy. What does that term mean 206 00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:32,600 Speaker 1: to you and what's the message that you've taken from 207 00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:35,200 Speaker 1: your new positional coach as you look to develop a 208 00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:39,160 Speaker 1: relationship with him this season. Yeah, you know, coach coach 209 00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:41,560 Speaker 1: B Man, I call him Coach B. He's great, man. 210 00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:44,079 Speaker 1: You know, I'm thankful to heave him as a coach, 211 00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:46,240 Speaker 1: and you know, I take this philosophy every day and 212 00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:47,760 Speaker 1: I put it in my back pocket and I just 213 00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:50,520 Speaker 1: you know, always got in the back of my mom 214 00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:52,760 Speaker 1: while before play. And I feel like, you know, in 215 00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:54,600 Speaker 1: the story of my time. You know, I've gotten better 216 00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:57,080 Speaker 1: on with my footwork and things like that. And you know, 217 00:09:57,160 --> 00:10:00,079 Speaker 1: having that, you know, and having that old b and 218 00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:01,640 Speaker 1: in the back of your mind while you're playing, you know, 219 00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:03,760 Speaker 1: it's great. And you know, I like the philosophy, you know, 220 00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:06,000 Speaker 1: and and X it's funny. You know, we're watching practice 221 00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,800 Speaker 1: forty yards away. Sometimes I hear pat your Graham, I 222 00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:11,400 Speaker 1: hear coach b. These guys are allowed, man. They are 223 00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:13,920 Speaker 1: not shy about coaching you guys up after reps if 224 00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:17,040 Speaker 1: they don't like what they see. Huh yeah, not at all, man. 225 00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:20,440 Speaker 1: You know, everybody loves football. We're fired up, man. You know, 226 00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:23,480 Speaker 1: definitely a lot of culture going on out there, and 227 00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:25,360 Speaker 1: and and just real quick as an aside, a lot 228 00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:26,720 Speaker 1: of people have made a big deal about you know, 229 00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:28,720 Speaker 1: Joe Judge. You guys have to run up. They make 230 00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:31,760 Speaker 1: a mistake as a player, as a young guy. Is 231 00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:33,400 Speaker 1: that something that bothers you or is that something that 232 00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:35,680 Speaker 1: kind of gets you excited where guys are being held 233 00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:39,320 Speaker 1: responsible and you have to do things properly and practice 234 00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:41,080 Speaker 1: because that's what you want to, you know, translate into 235 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:43,000 Speaker 1: a game. What was your reaction when you saw guys 236 00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:45,240 Speaker 1: having to run those laps after some of those mental mistakes. 237 00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:47,680 Speaker 1: I liked it, man, because you know, when you when 238 00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:50,200 Speaker 1: you you like those some of the small things away 239 00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:51,679 Speaker 1: and practice and it shows up in the game, and 240 00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:53,200 Speaker 1: you know that could be the difference between one of 241 00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:55,560 Speaker 1: losing the game. You know, I feel like holding holding 242 00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:57,840 Speaker 1: each other accountable is a is a great step we're 243 00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:00,000 Speaker 1: taking and you know, I like it. I'm excited about it. 244 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:02,280 Speaker 1: And it's and sorry, it's real quick. And it seems 245 00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 1: like O'Shane that Joe Judge, even though he's being you know, harsh, 246 00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:08,720 Speaker 1: I guess is the wrong war but being very strict 247 00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:10,480 Speaker 1: with you guys on the field in terms of mistakes, 248 00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:12,079 Speaker 1: it seems like he does go out of his way 249 00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:14,040 Speaker 1: to reach out to you guys personally, right and build 250 00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:16,160 Speaker 1: a bond with each and every one of you guys. 251 00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:19,200 Speaker 1: So while maybe he's a disciplinarian on the field, off 252 00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:23,680 Speaker 1: the field, that's maybe not quite his personality, right, Yeah, 253 00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:26,319 Speaker 1: we were all big on like bonding and knowing our 254 00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:29,960 Speaker 1: teammates and not only teams, but teammates and coaches. You know, 255 00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:31,680 Speaker 1: we're we're big on bonding and you know we have 256 00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:33,839 Speaker 1: a lot of team bonded things that we're doing, you know, 257 00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:38,040 Speaker 1: flag teams coming coming together really well. O Shane. As 258 00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:40,720 Speaker 1: I hear you describe the relationship that you're building with 259 00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:43,480 Speaker 1: Joe Judge into John's point, you know, having the players 260 00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:45,920 Speaker 1: run laps and so forth. As I mentioned, this roster 261 00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:48,600 Speaker 1: for the most part is very young. Fifty percent of 262 00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:51,840 Speaker 1: you are only two years or less into the NFL. 263 00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:54,960 Speaker 1: And I guess where I'm getting at is how much 264 00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:58,000 Speaker 1: is it maybe what you're used to seeing at the 265 00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:00,640 Speaker 1: collegiate level and how hard coach is are on you 266 00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:03,720 Speaker 1: on the collegiate level that this hasn't been that unique 267 00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:07,120 Speaker 1: of a transition based on what Joe Judges preaching in practice, 268 00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:11,160 Speaker 1: I mean colleges of college in NFL and NFL, I 269 00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:13,960 Speaker 1: think there are two very different things. And you know, 270 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,360 Speaker 1: I feel like you know, it's it's gonna be a 271 00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:18,880 Speaker 1: transition regardless no matter where you go, So you know 272 00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:21,839 Speaker 1: it is what it is.
