Speaker 1: Welcome to the Ravens Press Pass podcast. It is Saturday,
Speaker 1: August third. The Ravens continued training camp practice today ahead
Speaker 1: of the preseason opener, which is coming up on Friday
Speaker 1: at M and T. Banks Stadium against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Speaker 1: After practice today, we had a chance to hear from
Speaker 1: some of the assistant coaches. First up, as defensive line
Speaker 1: coach Dennis Johnson, what.
Speaker 2: Have you seen out of Travis Jeras very trouble in
Speaker 2: this campaign?
Speaker 3: What have you seen out of Travis?
Speaker 4: I've seen a lot of growth obviously from the summertime
Speaker 4: through now. You know, he's a guy who showed up
Speaker 4: every day during the summers, you know, working to get better,
Speaker 4: and I see his confidence level constantly, like rising up.
Speaker 4: I think that's gonna be the big thing for him
Speaker 4: for him moving forward, is we're doing it, able to
Speaker 4: do it on the field in practice and then you
Speaker 4: know that first game, able to you know, face the
Speaker 4: adversity he faces here and overcome it, just like he's
Speaker 4: doing now. And I think I'm seeing the confidence in
Speaker 4: his ability to do that. And so the more that
Speaker 4: we're put him in those positions and practice, the better
Speaker 4: off feel be going into the season, and there's a.
Speaker 3: Lot of talent as defensive line.
Speaker 5: What do you think rather Washington needs to do to
Speaker 5: maybe see more snaps or a greater impact the season.
Speaker 4: Well, I trust broad like I trust anybody up front.
Speaker 4: He's a hard worker. He can play multiple spots. Just
Speaker 4: throughout camp, I've seen him play a one, a three,
Speaker 4: or five or six, sometimes a nine. And so his
Speaker 4: his ability to be flexible among the front helps him
Speaker 4: to play in a lot of different situations.
Speaker 6: Obviously his strength and his size.
Speaker 4: You know, you love him in the run game, and
Speaker 4: then his smarts and knowing how to rush and pass
Speaker 4: lanes and you know, working new moves help them shows
Speaker 4: up in the past game and so you know, I'm
Speaker 4: expecting them to play a good little.
Speaker 7: Bit defensive line maybe has most continued contomunity from last
Speaker 7: year to this year. What has it been like? Just
Speaker 7: like watching them as.
Speaker 4: A year, it's also watching them grow together as one unit. Obviously,
Speaker 4: you know know them as individuals, but you know, in
Speaker 4: a meeting situation or in a practice situation, We're in
Speaker 4: Indie and they're you know, talking to each other and
Speaker 4: encouraging each other and you know, giving like coaching points
Speaker 4: that you know, maybe giving meanings to another guy, especially
Speaker 4: the younger guys and seeing them progress from the beginning
Speaker 4: of camp to where we are now. Is just helping
Speaker 4: a group play together as one. Like I was just
Speaker 4: telling them, you know, post post practice, you know, this
Speaker 4: team goes as a front goes, and so just taking
Speaker 4: on that responsibility and the ownership because I mean, Mike Peers,
Speaker 4: what say it means? You know, our goal is to
Speaker 4: be the number one defensive line in the NFL, and
Speaker 4: so we have to practice like it and it have
Speaker 4: to be consistent day in and day out.
Speaker 6: And so that's one of.
Speaker 4: The things that I definitely see in that that front.
Speaker 8: In the secondary, you see a lot of positional versatility,
Speaker 8: if you will, some of that.
Speaker 3: Obviously I'll be front too. And how I guess important is.
Speaker 6: That it's very important.
Speaker 4: I mean, you know, you're not playing, you know, not
Speaker 4: taking ten d linemen into a game, and so you
Speaker 4: have to have guys who can play inside and outside.
Speaker 4: I know Herb is that flexibility a lot. Obviously, you know,
Speaker 4: Beaks in his athletic ability can do a lot of things,
Speaker 4: and Travis too, and so just crosschaining guys and putting
Speaker 4: them in those situations and practice giving them confidence. I
Speaker 4: can play interior, I can play xterior. Kind of like
Speaker 4: helps builds that because it's very important you know going forward.
Speaker 3: What just in that DK, when I and you're looking
Speaker 3: at him and in him past, what do you think makes.
Speaker 4: He's so explosive, his hips in his hands are so fast,
Speaker 4: but he's also strong, and so that's kind of like
Speaker 4: what makes him unique. And the ability to play the
Speaker 4: run at elite level and then turn around and play
Speaker 4: the passing and the elite level changes the game for
Speaker 4: any interior d Lineman, I mean, regardless of who you are,
Speaker 4: and so having the ability to do that, I believe
Speaker 4: is what makes him special. And his wont to get
Speaker 4: better every day. You know, he comes out here, hey, coach,
Speaker 4: like my hand placement, what you think about it?
Speaker 9: Here?
Speaker 4: My foot whatever, my eyes and you know contentiously you know,
Speaker 4: telling him that and staying on top of that is
Speaker 4: really he's really an impressive young man just in general.
Speaker 4: But I believe that's what makes them special.
Speaker 10: It's just seen talking in versatility of how to be
Speaker 10: game being explosive. You see a scenario in which you
Speaker 10: could even have him out on the edge just in
Speaker 10: certain past scenarios just to kind of rush out.
Speaker 4: I mean, you could actually put him everywhere because he
Speaker 4: has what I was just describing, those unique tools of
Speaker 4: being quick and strong, and so you can definitely put
Speaker 4: him on the edge, and especially you know past situations
Speaker 4: or even like run situations.
Speaker 6: You know, he's big enough to.
Speaker 4: Set an edge and send things inside if that's what
Speaker 4: we're asking him to do, or any type of movement.
Speaker 4: Obviously he's quick enough to get to any gap that
Speaker 4: we asks him to, So he could definitely play inside
Speaker 4: and out. Again, going back to the versatility of the
Speaker 4: front and the ability for guys to play different roles and.
Speaker 7: Here the room, so they really focused on dining something
Speaker 7: will work that the outside linebackers do. And defensive lines
Speaker 7: once had been like just like working hands and anults right.
Speaker 4: Now, So I mean we call it the defensive front,
Speaker 4: and so we're all together outside linebackers, INTI your defensive linemen,
Speaker 4: like we this is the unit, and so we need
Speaker 4: to work together.
Speaker 6: We have to work together. We have to be in
Speaker 6: unises with each other.
Speaker 4: You know, if we're working in past rush and we're
Speaker 4: working in rush lanes and we're playing off of each other.
Speaker 4: We have to be on the same page. And so
Speaker 4: working together like jails, that group a.
Speaker 6: As one, you know what I mean.
Speaker 4: And I think the more that we do that, as
Speaker 4: you see in practice, I mean, the better off it
Speaker 4: is as a unit. The travers and has talking about
Speaker 4: how much he's justin and how he strives to be
Speaker 4: on that level. How have you seen just learned the building,
Speaker 4: you know, seeing them just be vocal, whether it's in
Speaker 4: in meeting rooms and you know we're going over something.
Speaker 4: Maybe we went something over something before and like a
Speaker 4: young guy mat might have missed it, and he'll be
Speaker 4: able to see, hey, we you know, we just went
Speaker 4: over there.
Speaker 6: Remember your eyes, you know, giving guys.
Speaker 4: Like little little bits and stuff like hey, look at
Speaker 4: this guy's need, you know, look at that guy's foot.
Speaker 4: He's gonna tell you what's coming ahead. Cause he's a
Speaker 4: smart player as well. And so some of those you know,
Speaker 4: pre snap adjustments that he's given, you know, within the
Speaker 4: line helps guys. And so I believe he he's a leader,
Speaker 4: I mean obviously because of his play, but just also
Speaker 4: because of the human that he is.
Speaker 11: Justine Server, I.
Speaker 7: See a lot a lot of questions like in the
Speaker 7: meeting room.
Speaker 6: Like yeah, I mean it's it's awesome.
Speaker 4: Like we we love to have like open dialogue, you know,
Speaker 4: making sure that we all see it the same. If
Speaker 4: we see it different, I mean maybe there was a
Speaker 4: different way that they played it before, or you know,
Speaker 4: a different way of presenting it. And everybody's being vocal
Speaker 4: and talking, and I like when when Justin talks because
Speaker 4: you know, obviously you know, people want to know answers.
Speaker 4: He has a question. But it's been great. It's been great,
Speaker 4: and I think the team are the front gets better because.
Speaker 6: Of stuff like that.
Speaker 11: One of his questions.
Speaker 6: Uh not yet, but I'm suio it's on the way.
Speaker 3: It's like working with U Chuck Spens.
Speaker 12: Oh.
Speaker 6: I love working with Chuck.
Speaker 4: Like I've said before, like I knew Chuck before I
Speaker 4: got here, you know obviously all the pastor stuff he
Speaker 4: was doing, you know, out in Georgia and different stuff
Speaker 4: like that back when I.
Speaker 6: Was in college ball.
Speaker 4: So it's really cool to sit and go over you know, drills,
Speaker 4: pass rush drills and combining like the things that I
Speaker 4: how I see it and the things that he sees
Speaker 4: and that making it one and making it ours and
Speaker 4: the guys like loving the approach to it. And so
Speaker 4: I mean he's he's been awesome. I mean also he's
Speaker 4: been helping me, you know with the transition, you know,
Speaker 4: coming here, because he's been here for a year. He's
Speaker 4: been awesome and I love working with him.
Speaker 6: Amazing coach.
Speaker 1: X up Is wide receivers coach Greg Lewis.
Speaker 11: It was very entertaining. I'm glad. I'm glad a couple.
Speaker 6: Of big plays out there.
Speaker 3: How big was it time to see a couple of
Speaker 3: big coaches.
Speaker 12: It was great to see building a rapport with him
Speaker 12: and Lamar and the other receivers. But to see Bay
Speaker 12: get out there running around, making moves, making catches. Uh,
Speaker 12: I think it's this guy's the limit for him and
Speaker 12: this offense with with the guys that we have here.
Speaker 12: But it was awesome to see just plays being made,
Speaker 12: contested catches going up grabbing a ball by all the
Speaker 12: guys out there today on the offensive side of the ball.
Speaker 11: So I'm excited to where we're headed.
Speaker 8: And if you see from the chemistry between Lamari and said,
Speaker 8: it seemed obviously.
Speaker 3: Was a lot camp here. Why do you think this
Speaker 3: team just.
Speaker 12: Might I mean they both from Florida, So it's something
Speaker 12: in the water down there probably with those guys. But
Speaker 12: they both love football, and really all the guys that's
Speaker 12: out here love football. And when you got a bunch
Speaker 12: of guys that love football, it's easy to get on
Speaker 12: the same page with those guys and they understand what
Speaker 12: they're doing, what they see out there, and then they
Speaker 12: make things happen that most people can't do and it's
Speaker 12: special to see.
Speaker 11: And we just got to keep going from that.
Speaker 8: Follow up what are you seeing day and you want
Speaker 8: to year or two, whether it's football or understanding concept.
Speaker 3: Et cetera.
Speaker 12: Definitely understanding of the offense, and then leadership as a
Speaker 12: as a rookie, obviously, you come in and you listen
Speaker 12: and you learn, and when you expect it to make plays,
Speaker 12: you try to do that. And they did a great
Speaker 12: job of that. But now it's about taking the next
Speaker 12: step and sort of taking the group by the rains
Speaker 12: and try to lead them in the right direction. Because
Speaker 12: he's been through it, he's been there and done that,
Speaker 12: and then we're trying to take it to another level.
Speaker 11: So he's done a great job with that.
Speaker 12: We got a lot of leaders in the group, but
Speaker 12: Bazayas stepped up and did a good job with bringing
Speaker 12: younger guys along, Molik coming from the quarterback position, Dayton
Speaker 12: Wade coming from college and whatnot, and all the young guys.
Speaker 12: He's just helping them with anything and everything possible to
Speaker 12: help us be a good core of receivers.
Speaker 4: He's always had speed, just what other other areas that
Speaker 4: you've seen kind of growth, maybe.
Speaker 3: Getting from the last you know, twelve.
Speaker 12: Month or just change the direction and getting in there
Speaker 12: out of breaks and having him out there being able
Speaker 12: to do that you always know. And obviously I wasn't
Speaker 12: here at the time, but I watched him in college.
Speaker 12: You see all these spectacular moves that he can do,
Speaker 12: and just getting him out here and getting confident doing it,
Speaker 12: and it's been great for him and it's been great
Speaker 12: for us as as an offense and as a team.
Speaker 12: But just getting in out of breaks, contested catches and
Speaker 12: trying to get deep balls down the field, crossing routs,
Speaker 12: different things of that nature.
Speaker 11: Uh, he's showing up.
Speaker 12: He's showing up, and he's done a great job throughout
Speaker 12: this whole camp and we just want to continue to
Speaker 12: build off of that moving forward.
Speaker 7: Contest well, players have been able to be out here
Speaker 7: in the past few days. But I guess, what have
Speaker 7: you seen this develment?
Speaker 11: And is it?
Speaker 2: I guess how do you deal.
Speaker 7: With a young guy who's coming in and learning having.
Speaker 12: Get this stuff like that well without getting physical reps.
Speaker 12: It is difficult because a lot of guys need to
Speaker 12: be out there and do physical reps. But Tis has
Speaker 12: done a great job in the classroom and making sure
Speaker 12: he's on top of everything. So when he does get
Speaker 12: back out there, whenever that may be, he'll be ready
Speaker 12: to go. From that standpoint, Uh, he's a football junkie.
Speaker 12: He loves football. He wants to understand the ins and
Speaker 12: outs of everything that's taking place, and when his time
Speaker 12: is to go, he'll be ready to go because I
Speaker 12: believe I'm not confident in him, and I know he's
Speaker 12: confident in himself. Quickness, confidence and those two things those
Speaker 12: are in you. Uh, they're not really coachable type of deals.
Speaker 12: He's he's a confident kid, does a great job going
Speaker 12: out there making plays utilizing the speed, and then he
Speaker 12: has quickness where he understands how to get open. And
Speaker 12: quarterbacks love guys that they could get open because it
Speaker 12: makes it easy for them to throw them the ball.
Speaker 12: So he's done a great job of that and utilize
Speaker 12: them in a different position. He's picked up and grasped
Speaker 12: uh the playbook and the offense and he just continues
Speaker 12: to want to work. And that's that's what I love
Speaker 12: about him, being an undrafted guy. Uh I had that
Speaker 12: mentality and and sort of it's you see it in him,
Speaker 12: and I love that about him. Uh And I just
Speaker 12: want to see him continue to grow and do what
Speaker 12: he needs to do.
Speaker 8: He just going back to say the Real Quick Community
Speaker 8: play off season, he had three highest separation rate pre Technically,
Speaker 8: where do you where do you see him either making
Speaker 8: the biggest speed from fromventive now or or just best
Speaker 8: skill setting every footwork cut off like the true stuff.
Speaker 11: Well, he's pretty much gotten better at everything. Uh.
Speaker 12: I think just trying to get him the ball. If
Speaker 12: he touches the ball, something special is gonna happen. So
Speaker 12: just putting him in position to be successful each and
Speaker 12: every way possible. And coach Monk does a great job
Speaker 12: of dialing different things up to put people in position
Speaker 12: to do what they do best. And that's what it's
Speaker 12: about on offense is matchups and getting guys in position
Speaker 12: to be successful. So I think we're doing a good
Speaker 12: job with z Ay thus far, and I think we're
Speaker 12: doing a good job with all the guys because everybody
Speaker 12: is unique.
Speaker 11: Everybody has a different skill set.
Speaker 12: And we want to tap into all those skills, so
Speaker 12: we utilize everybody as we go.
Speaker 7: There've been a lot of options about about height ends
Speaker 7: after Isaya like the season and talk said and they're
Speaker 7: so limited preps. What has that been like just preparing
Speaker 7: for the season knowing you have all the stuff that
Speaker 7: you want to get the goal to but also seeing
Speaker 7: the strengthens.
Speaker 12: Man well with the amount of talent that we have
Speaker 12: on offense and really on the whole team. Obviously I
Speaker 12: don't coach defense, so I don't want to talk about that,
Speaker 12: but on offense, we have a lot of guys that
Speaker 12: are positionless and they can do everything. So you may
Speaker 12: not be getting the ball per se and practice or
Speaker 12: getting a rep, but when you get out there, we're
Speaker 12: moving people around, seeing what fits, seeing what doesn't fit,
Speaker 12: and putting them in those positions. So everybody is interchangeable,
Speaker 12: and we're trying to do a good job with that
Speaker 12: and give our guys the opportunity to make some plays
Speaker 12: and score some touchdowns for us.
Speaker 8: Someone saying side, what is you have to do to
Speaker 8: be successful against you know, press coverage?
Speaker 3: And I guess what he kind of seem to him.
Speaker 11: He just got to be him.
Speaker 12: I mean, I don't let size define I don't let
Speaker 12: size define guys. He's been that size his whole life
Speaker 12: and he's been able to make plays and do different things.
Speaker 12: So all he has to do is come out and
Speaker 12: continue to work hard and work on his craft and
Speaker 12: do what he's coached to do and then let his
Speaker 12: natural ability take over.
Speaker 11: But his size doesn't matter.
Speaker 12: If they come up to impress him, they better be
Speaker 12: ready because he's gonna be ready.
Speaker 1: And lastly, we also had a chance to hear from
Speaker 1: running backs coach Willie Taggart.
Speaker 9: Good afternoon, how y'all doing well as Florida about saying
Speaker 9: they both hot? Yeah, they both hot. Were sweating in
Speaker 9: both spots, you know.
Speaker 6: So, I mean there's spending a lot of.
Speaker 2: You have a workload, three carries, whatever, but you see,
Speaker 2: they has always been able toever work with the beating.
Speaker 3: Just look, why do you think you what do you see?
Speaker 3: Why do you think he has.
Speaker 9: That first, I like to say, there there's a pro
Speaker 9: you know, he understands what it takes and what it's
Speaker 9: gonna take for him to play at them at the
Speaker 9: level that he wants to play at, you know, each
Speaker 9: and every week. And then you know, for me personally,
Speaker 9: the first time I've seen Derek train the way he
Speaker 9: does was this off season and send the work that
Speaker 9: he put in in the off season, uh kind of
Speaker 9: can let you know why he's being able to play
Speaker 9: at high level for a long period of time because
Speaker 9: he does a great job taking care of his body
Speaker 9: and the off season and allow him to uh continue
Speaker 9: to play at high level.
Speaker 3: And they're a body farder muscle of his that you
Speaker 3: think it is just like the strongest and.
Speaker 9: The whole body just strong. Just I mean seriously, I
Speaker 9: mean I think everything his his from a physical standpoint,
Speaker 9: from a n mental standpoint, and you can't you can't
Speaker 9: take that for granted. You know, Uh, just sit down
Speaker 9: and talking with with Derek about football and all he's
Speaker 9: he's such a he has has such a great football man,
Speaker 9: you know, and and ask great questions and and and
Speaker 9: have a good understanding of the game. And and so
Speaker 9: I think from a physical standpoint. You know, he have
Speaker 9: all the intangibles there. We see that, you know, and
Speaker 9: he he walks around and you know, uh, I think
Speaker 9: a lot of guys make business decision when they wanna
Speaker 9: tackle him sometime out there. You know, Uh, rightfully so,
Speaker 9: but uh, I just think he he he's a into
Speaker 9: a young man that just had at all. You know,
Speaker 9: he's from a uh, like I say, physical and mental standpoint, Uh,
Speaker 9: to be successful are some of the questions, Like you're.
Speaker 2: Talking about the mental aspect, is there like a for
Speaker 2: instance that you bring our road some of the questions
Speaker 2: that you know that that you're You're like, well, it's
Speaker 2: a freaking.
Speaker 9: Well, it's just like when we're talking football. You know,
Speaker 9: sometimes he ask questions that I don't get asked by
Speaker 9: other backs, you know, which which is good.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 9: And then just him being a pro just to be
Speaker 9: able to ask the question. A lot of guys don't
Speaker 9: want to ask questions in there, and and for him
Speaker 9: to be in there and ask questions. We can be
Speaker 9: meeting by ourselves at time and and I can talk
Speaker 9: about a play and he's gonna ask, well, why are
Speaker 9: we why are we doing that? Which is awesome. You
Speaker 9: know cause now you explain the details and he have
Speaker 9: a good understanding of what we're trying to do, you know.
Speaker 9: And again as a coach, to have your players and
Speaker 9: you know, ask why we're doing something is is great,
Speaker 9: you know. And then for the younger guys to see
Speaker 9: and hear him ask those questions. Its only just gonna
Speaker 9: help the entire rooms.
Speaker 5: When the team signed Henry just because of how you
Speaker 5: run out of the shotgun, and that's not that's been
Speaker 5: his specified.
Speaker 3: Role in maybe his season. So just over the course
Speaker 3: of camp, whatever you've seen from him out of that role.
Speaker 3: Now that as he smiles right.
Speaker 9: Now, man, I can't wait to the season. I'll put
Speaker 9: it that way. He can't wait to the season. And
Speaker 9: and and watch him play, you know, watch him in
Speaker 9: a different style of offense than what he's been in before.
Speaker 9: I think there's gonna be able to show that he's
Speaker 9: much more than just downhill run. He can he can
Speaker 9: do everything the little guys do.
Speaker 11: You know.
Speaker 9: He can make people miss, you know, he can jump,
Speaker 9: cut and he can do it all. And that was
Speaker 9: for me, that's what's been impressive to see him being
Speaker 9: able to do all those different cuts and things. He
Speaker 9: makes some cuts like Justice Hill. At that time, I'm like,
Speaker 9: whoa you know? And then yeah, I don't care who
Speaker 9: you are. You see that big guy when he's rolling,
Speaker 9: when he's when he's in third gear, you better watch out.
Speaker 9: You know, you might got a chance in second gear,
Speaker 9: you know. But after that it's it's problems.
Speaker 7: Obviously, Kenig heavy load and Kennedy balls. You're just saying,
Speaker 7: but we've still seen a lot of Justice still out here.
Speaker 3: I guess what.
Speaker 9: First of all, I expect for Justice to have a
Speaker 9: great year. I think this is gonna be by far
Speaker 9: one of his his best year. Seeing his development since
Speaker 9: I've been here has been off the chart. You know,
Speaker 9: he come in and Justin can do it all. You know,
Speaker 9: he can run the football for us, he can block
Speaker 9: for us, he can catch passes out the backfield for so.
Speaker 9: I think you'll see us using Justice in a lot
Speaker 9: of different ways. And I think you'll see uh a
Speaker 9: young man that that comes through for us too, called
Speaker 9: Justice the junk yard doll. He does everything for us,
Speaker 9: you know, and uh so, uh looking forward to him
Speaker 9: having a heck of a year.
Speaker 4: Development which Harpall was talking about how he's work til
Speaker 4: he takes started acting.
Speaker 8: What have you learned about his work years?
Speaker 9: I mean I said the same thing about Derek, the
Speaker 9: same with with with Justice. From the time I got here.
Speaker 9: You can see the professionalism from him. You know, he's
Speaker 9: so much more ahead of uh his age right now,
Speaker 9: just the way he think, the way he go about things,
Speaker 9: and just is one of those guys he's gonna study
Speaker 9: all night, he's gonna come in, he's gonna you don't
Speaker 9: have a problem worried about him going there and knowing
Speaker 9: what to do. He's gonna know exactly what to do
Speaker 9: when he's out there, and he's able to help guys
Speaker 9: around him, you know, and and and for Justice not
Speaker 9: only from a running back standpoint, but you think about
Speaker 9: the things that he do for some special teams. You know,
Speaker 9: he just he's the ultimate team player. And like I said,
Speaker 9: I I expect for him have a big year now,
Speaker 9: having a better understanding of our offense. And and I
Speaker 9: know we're gonna use him in a lot of different ways.
Speaker 9: I think we're I think we're all gonna be impressed
Speaker 9: with what Justice can do for us.
Speaker 8: What's what did you see out of Machine All League
Speaker 8: and what's the challenge of you know, the rookie count. Yeah,
Speaker 8: have you seen the factors these two guys?
Speaker 9: Well with Rashine, seen a lot of good things from him,
Speaker 9: you know, really excited for Raschine, right, r excited to
Speaker 9: watch him play in preseason.
Speaker 11: You know.
Speaker 9: The challenges is just learning the speed of the game,
Speaker 9: understanding the offense. You know, I think that's what the
Speaker 9: speed understand learned the speed of the game. Once you
Speaker 9: learn the offense where you're not thinking so much, then
Speaker 9: you can go out and play. That's to me is
Speaker 9: where the speed becomes a difference for guys out there.
Speaker 9: They're all fast, but when you're thinking a lot, you
Speaker 9: normally don't play fast enough. So but as time have
Speaker 9: gone on, you can see where he's picking it up
Speaker 9: and like today, just some of the cuts that he
Speaker 9: makes and when he hits the whole.
Speaker 11: Uh.
Speaker 9: I think now young man is special and and and
Speaker 9: I think he's gonna show us all that where Uh,
Speaker 9: Eric and those guys did a good job again drafting
Speaker 9: a running back.
Speaker 10: Well, uh, that's kind of stood out in practice as
Speaker 10: well as going right.
Speaker 5: You've seen him over the course of last year and
Speaker 5: now wherever you've seen his development, what are you seeing
Speaker 5: right now now.
Speaker 9: Well, again, just like I was saying about Justice on
Speaker 9: this he's grown so much from from last year coming
Speaker 9: in as an undrafted free agent, and and then from
Speaker 9: that time to last preseason he played against the Bucks.
Speaker 9: I think that's when he showed everyone that, you know what,
Speaker 9: he can't play at this level, and then he just
Speaker 9: constantly got better over the year, you know, and practice
Speaker 9: against our defense helps, you know, you get to practice
Speaker 9: against those guys and go out. He had no choice
Speaker 9: but to get better. You're gonna get hit. So he's
Speaker 9: done a good job with that. But understanding the offense,
Speaker 9: he knows that now and what we're seeing out there
Speaker 9: now is a young man that's playing with confidence, you know,
Speaker 9: and so that's gonna help. And again same thing with CC.
Speaker 9: We'll call you back there. He's another good one. I
Speaker 9: really like our running back room, not just cause I'm
Speaker 9: the running back coach, but because I think we have
Speaker 9: some really talented young men back there, and I think
Speaker 9: we'll all get to see it once we go in
Speaker 9: preseason and what they can do.
