You know, 30 00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:29,120 Speaker 2: we talk about that. It's not just all of a 31 00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:30,360 Speaker 2: sudden we've got to come up and say, hey, we 32 00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:32,600 Speaker 2: want a game now. Now what you know, this is 33 00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:34,560 Speaker 2: something that we were here together every day, you know, 34 00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:37,240 Speaker 2: and from the off seasons training camp. These are the 35 00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:38,959 Speaker 2: kind of topics that you have when you when you're 36 00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:41,480 Speaker 2: building it, when you're building together as a football team. 37 00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:43,720 Speaker 2: And so you know, Patrick Queen be one of the 38 00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:45,920 Speaker 2: captains this week, he spoke to the guys and he 39 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,720 Speaker 2: brought that up in the UH, in the UH, in 40 00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:51,560 Speaker 2: the post practice a little talkie gave there and and 41 00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:53,000 Speaker 2: did a great job of it. But it wasn't anything 42 00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:55,320 Speaker 2: anybody wasn't thinking about. You know, we've it's one week 43 00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:56,560 Speaker 2: at a time. You got to be want to know 44 00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:58,640 Speaker 2: every week and that's what we're trying to do and 45 00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:01,840 Speaker 2: really want to know every day, want to know every drill, period, play. 46 00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:03,080 Speaker 2: That's what we shoot for. 47 00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:15,560 Speaker 7: One thing, it's doing the project to pay the taxi Thompson, 48 00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:16,200 Speaker 7: is there any. 49 00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:17,200 Speaker 4: Planers what kind of. 50 00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,200 Speaker 2: Well, I mean, there's some familiarity, but it's really more about, 51 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:24,760 Speaker 2: uh how similar they are. Maybe the teams you've played 52 00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:28,120 Speaker 2: in the past, they actually have some similarities to Houston defensively, Uh, 53 00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:31,079 Speaker 2: the kind of the same family tree defensively, scheme wise. 54 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:33,640 Speaker 2: So uh, that's something that we you know, we we 55 00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,360 Speaker 2: can we can use to our advantage in some respect. 56 00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:37,960 Speaker 2: And there's it's kind of how it works around the league. 57 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:41,600 Speaker 2: I mean, certain it's kind of San Francisco Seattle Tree defensively, 58 00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:45,360 Speaker 2: So you you certainly you learn to understand how those 59 00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:47,239 Speaker 2: different kind of groups of coaches operate. 60 00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:53,519 Speaker 3: Familiarity obviously Kennon drink back in the building, what was 61 00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:57,120 Speaker 3: behind that decision? And secondly, is there any injury issue 62 00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:58,840 Speaker 3: or concernative maybe justice up. 63 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:00,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm just gonna leave all up to the injury report. 64 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:02,760 Speaker 2: It's not any to our advantage to talk about any 65 00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:04,120 Speaker 2: of that stuff right now. So we're happy to have 66 00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:07,720 Speaker 2: Kenyan back, excited about him right now and everything plays 67 00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:08,600 Speaker 2: out the way he plays out. 68 00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:11,640 Speaker 3: What is he praying for? They don't other familiarity? 69 00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:13,520 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I mean you know, he's talented. I mean 70 00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:15,080 Speaker 2: you've seen him. He had he was he was in 71 00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:16,040 Speaker 2: camp in pre season. 72 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:16,400 Speaker 5: There. 73 00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:19,360 Speaker 2: Uh, he's fast. You know, he's an athletic guy, catches 74 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:21,079 Speaker 2: balls out of the backfield. Probably a real good fit 75 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:23,080 Speaker 2: in this offense. You know, it's funny. I was watching 76 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:26,720 Speaker 2: the Bengals tape last week again from last year as 77 00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:28,600 Speaker 2: we were kind of preparing, and he was on the 78 00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:31,000 Speaker 2: tape and he had had good games in those two 79 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,160 Speaker 2: games he played, and I was saying, man, can you 80 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:34,640 Speaker 2: drink really look good in those games? You know, It's 81 00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:36,720 Speaker 2: kind of like that, And then next thing, you know, 82 00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 2: here he is. I mentioned that to him this morning 83 00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:39,200 Speaker 2: when he came in. 84 00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:41,960 Speaker 8: So you guys haven't allowed his first down in the 85 00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 8: first quarter yet. 86 00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:44,680 Speaker 5: No encourage are you about the pepa starts? 87 00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:45,720 Speaker 9: The defense has gotten out. 88 00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:48,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, very encouraged, Very encouraged by the fast starts. That's 89 00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:50,680 Speaker 2: that's that's something we work on every day. We have 90 00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 2: a fast start period in practice every day. We want 91 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:54,360 Speaker 2: it to be good. I feel like the guys are 92 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:56,040 Speaker 2: just locked in. But you know, you know, every every 93 00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:59,000 Speaker 2: every game is different. Sometimes you start, sometimes you finish. 94 00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:00,920 Speaker 2: I think we're trying and you know, just to take 95 00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:02,760 Speaker 2: it one series at a time and do the best 96 00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:03,119 Speaker 2: we can. 97 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:06,800 Speaker 8: John, with guys like Ricari and you know Stone who 98 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:08,960 Speaker 8: for multiple years in a row don't come in as starters, 99 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:10,560 Speaker 8: but then when you have to call on them, they 100 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:13,600 Speaker 8: play like starters. Do you see a common trait between 101 00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:15,280 Speaker 8: those guys who are able to do that or. 102 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:18,960 Speaker 2: That's a great question, childs. I mean, I guess you 103 00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:22,159 Speaker 2: can talk in terms of, you know, professionalism and tension 104 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:25,720 Speaker 2: to detail and character and intelligence and toughness and all 105 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:28,159 Speaker 2: those kind of things probably are the traits for guys 106 00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:29,520 Speaker 2: to be able to do that. Guys who are ready 107 00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:31,400 Speaker 2: because they get ready every day. It's not like all 108 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:32,960 Speaker 2: of a sudden, all I gotta get ready to start now. 109 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,679 Speaker 2: You know they've been They've been considering themselves a starter 110 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:38,800 Speaker 2: every day in practice from day one and preparing as such. 111 00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 2: And then therefore when the time when the opportunity comes, 112 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:43,160 Speaker 2: you know, they're ready. What's the old saying, when when 113 00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:46,440 Speaker 2: preparation meets opportunity, that's the formula for success, right. It's 114 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:48,360 Speaker 2: kind of a it's a truism, you know, and I 115 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:50,080 Speaker 2: think those guys have shown that. 116 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:54,400 Speaker 10: John, the entertainment sort of league question, and as a 117 00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:56,960 Speaker 10: Thumber special teams coach, do you see that play for 118 00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:00,680 Speaker 10: Patriots ram to block the kid with the sort of 119 00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:03,960 Speaker 10: sideways going to see the shirt and and have you 120 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,920 Speaker 10: ever seen a play like that if you think that could. 121 00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:08,400 Speaker 5: Be something that they take out. 122 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:10,279 Speaker 4: I haven't seen that. 123 00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:12,720 Speaker 2: I thought it was a really great play, really really 124 00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 2: well executed. 125 00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:13,960 Speaker 5: Uh. 126 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,520 Speaker 2: They were able to time up the uh the snap 127 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:19,320 Speaker 2: operation perfectly. 128 00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:19,640 Speaker 5: Well. 129 00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:21,880 Speaker 2: Uh, it doesn't need to be ruled out because all 130 00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:23,719 Speaker 2: you have to do is change the temple of your snapcount. 131 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:25,920 Speaker 2: So it's more of a surprise play. I think now 132 00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:28,320 Speaker 2: people that you know for that to if that's something 133 00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:29,839 Speaker 2: they think a team might do against them, then they'll 134 00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:31,719 Speaker 2: just kind of change up the timing of the snap count. 135 00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:34,160 Speaker 2: But what a good idea that was, nig got it. 136 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:36,160 Speaker 2: It was a great, great play, very I thought it 137 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:41,840 Speaker 2: was brilliant in their their run backers. Yeah, that's the 138 00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:44,479 Speaker 2: number one issue for sure, Mike. I mean that front 139 00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:46,680 Speaker 2: is outstanding. The two tackles are two of the best 140 00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,839 Speaker 2: in the league. You know, uh, you know, Buckner obviously 141 00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:54,200 Speaker 2: pedigree guy, slippery guy, long plays hard and all kinds 142 00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:56,440 Speaker 2: of stuff. Then Stewart we loved him in the draft. 143 00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:58,599 Speaker 2: He's just a load in there, and he's and he's explosive, 144 00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:01,120 Speaker 2: talented guy to defense events coming off the edge. One 145 00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:03,480 Speaker 2: of the Michigan guy Quid he pay. You know, they 146 00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:06,479 Speaker 2: play kind of classic to that style. And then inside backers, 147 00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:09,760 Speaker 2: I mean, you know, you've got forty four is flying 148 00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:11,800 Speaker 2: all over the field making plays left and right. And 149 00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:15,279 Speaker 2: then Leonard, of course he's fifty three, he's he's we 150 00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:16,800 Speaker 2: all know about him. You know, he's been good for 151 00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:19,359 Speaker 2: a really long time. And and so yeah, that's the 152 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:20,919 Speaker 2: heart and soul of their defense right there. 153 00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:24,920 Speaker 11: Jock's challenges are preparing it for two quarterbacks in the game. 154 00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:28,960 Speaker 11: The Prince style was whether Gardner or Andrew or coach and. 155 00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:31,760 Speaker 2: You right now it was, Yeah, it's definitely Pete. Something 156 00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:34,040 Speaker 2: that we've got to take into account. I mean, there 157 00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:36,239 Speaker 2: they run the same offense, but they run it differently, 158 00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:38,160 Speaker 2: you know, and they there's you know, one might lean 159 00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:40,720 Speaker 2: toward one area, another might lean toward another area more 160 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:42,280 Speaker 2: and you've got to play to the strengths to the quarterback. 161 00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:44,360 Speaker 2: So you've got to defend to the strengths to the quarterback. 162 00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:47,400 Speaker 2: And we've got to defend to the strengths of both 163 00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:48,960 Speaker 2: of those guys right now at this point in time. 164 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:51,120 Speaker 2: But the offense is still kind of intact the way 165 00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:52,600 Speaker 2: they run it. So that's what we'll be looking at. 166 00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:57,359 Speaker 10: John Muster first stepped in and played a really good game, 167 00:06:58,160 --> 00:06:59,120 Speaker 10: you worrily. 168 00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:00,200 Speaker 5: You're relying on him. 169 00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:02,760 Speaker 8: It's a kind of testament while these guys stepping up 170 00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:05,839 Speaker 8: just how we you know, much emphasis you wrout on 171 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:09,000 Speaker 8: kind of the back roster building and finding different ways 172 00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:09,960 Speaker 8: to acquire players. 173 00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:15,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, uh, it is. I mean obviously, our our I 174 00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 2: think our scouting department, personnel apartment is the best in 175 00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:22,360 Speaker 2: the league. You know, from Eric and Ozzy and and 176 00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:25,520 Speaker 2: all the guys over there, they're just tremendous. Joe, Vince, George, 177 00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:27,360 Speaker 2: just a bunch of guys that do a great job 178 00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:28,840 Speaker 2: all the way on through the Gold group. So that's 179 00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:31,080 Speaker 2: one thing, and the other thing, you know, we you know, 180 00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:33,400 Speaker 2: try to coach guys. I mean, there's the development aspect 181 00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:36,040 Speaker 2: of everything. That's what I think everybody does, does their 182 00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:37,960 Speaker 2: best at that. But to me, the credit belongs to 183 00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,679 Speaker 2: the guys themselves, right, I mean, those are the guys 184 00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:44,120 Speaker 2: that are out there preparing themselves for the opportunity then 185 00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:47,600 Speaker 2: making the most of their opportunity. They certainly deserve the credit. 186 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:49,560 Speaker 5: You do it two more back when you had one. 187 00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:52,120 Speaker 4: I think I can count of the eight guys. 188 00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:52,440 Speaker 5: Time of being able to back. 189 00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:54,360 Speaker 4: Does that when they there you have to change the 190 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:58,160 Speaker 4: practice at all. That's a good chunk. That's a great question. 191 00:07:58,240 --> 00:07:59,520 Speaker 5: And uh no you really don't. 192 00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:01,840 Speaker 2: Because they banded the practice squads, you know, so that's 193 00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:04,040 Speaker 2: allowed us to maintain a good practice. So that was 194 00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:07,240 Speaker 2: a good move the NFL made in. 195 00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:09,400 Speaker 3: Terms of guys got a good meet Patrick. There's another 196 00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:11,240 Speaker 3: one of those last week, so I would wind all 197 00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:13,720 Speaker 3: over the field this year. He had a great season 198 00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:17,280 Speaker 3: last year obviously. What do you think it's been the 199 00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:20,239 Speaker 3: difference specifically from getting the last. 200 00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:21,520 Speaker 10: Year to the season. 201 00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:24,559 Speaker 5: Right? Good question. 202 00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:26,360 Speaker 2: I just feel like he's just picked up where he 203 00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:28,400 Speaker 2: left off and continue to grow. You know, he's he's 204 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:31,920 Speaker 2: got a growth mindset every day. He he doesn't he 205 00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:35,000 Speaker 2: doesn't let anything slow him down. There's no drag in 206 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:38,080 Speaker 2: his in the way he operates ever, and uh it 207 00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:39,080 Speaker 2: shows up in the way he plays. 208 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:39,720 Speaker 4: I'm just proud of him. 209 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:41,960 Speaker 2: I love I love everything about him, and you know 210 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,120 Speaker 2: he's he's I think he's established himself as one of 211 00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:47,600 Speaker 2: the top one of the top linebackers in football for sure, 212 00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:49,160 Speaker 2: you know, and that's kind of exciting. 213 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:55,400 Speaker 1: That was Heay coach John Harball quarterback Lamar Jackson also 214 00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:56,480 Speaker 1: met with the media today. 215 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:00,960 Speaker 5: W Are you've seen the. 216 00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,360 Speaker 6: Big out of all sports when sometimes when the team 217 00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:06,400 Speaker 6: has a big emotions any against the divisional opponent, this, 218 00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:08,800 Speaker 6: that and the other, sometimes the next game doesn't you know, 219 00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:11,280 Speaker 6: goes look back, you know, kind of they cause quote. 220 00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:12,480 Speaker 5: Unquote the letdown all over. 221 00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:14,440 Speaker 6: Do you play to talk to the team How do you 222 00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:16,920 Speaker 6: avoid having that kind of scenario play out? 223 00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:19,920 Speaker 4: Uh?

It's what you feel 426 00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:18,960 Speaker 10: comparatively to other guys in the position, more empowered. 427 00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:21,240 Speaker 5: Yeah, I think, Uh, Mike, you try to do a 428 00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:22,600 Speaker 5: little bit of both. He tries to be creative but 429 00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:24,480 Speaker 5: at the same time be a little traditional at the 430 00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:26,320 Speaker 5: same time. And uh, I think that's the perfect mix 431 00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:28,280 Speaker 5: for us. Uh, just letting us go out there and 432 00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:31,200 Speaker 5: play ball. So whatever might call, we gonna roll with 433 00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:33,240 Speaker 5: and got the two best linebackers in the league, so 434 00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:35,960 Speaker 5: we gonna we gonna make plays and just make everybody 435 00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:37,280 Speaker 5: look good, make ourselves look good. 436 00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:38,320 Speaker 4: You feel like if you guys. 437 00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:41,479 Speaker 11: Are changing the perception of what a premier position is 438 00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:44,440 Speaker 11: why you and rokand are playing it inside. 439 00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:46,200 Speaker 5: I think anytime you want a good defense, you gotta 440 00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:49,120 Speaker 5: have good linebackers. Yeah, you know, that's what we got here, 441 00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:52,320 Speaker 5: and that's where we uh tryna showcases us being the 442 00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:54,040 Speaker 5: best linebackers and showing that a defense Rob was a 443 00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:55,720 Speaker 5: l around the linebacker. And I think that's just come 444 00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:57,879 Speaker 5: with being the type of person you wanna be in 445 00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:00,959 Speaker 5: trying to be great.

I think if you can't stop the run, you 452 00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:15,439 Speaker 5: can't stop the pass in the middle of the field. Uh. 453 00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:17,080 Speaker 5: And you ain't got those guys that can fly around 454 00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:19,440 Speaker 5: and just you know, strike a little fearing people heardest 455 00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:21,880 Speaker 5: then it's you know, kind of rough to stop people. 456 00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:23,639 Speaker 5: So I feel like that's what we bring to the defense. 457 00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:24,800 Speaker 7: What does lines? 458 00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:26,760 Speaker 3: What what strides have you made? 459 00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:27,080 Speaker 5: Uh? 460 00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:29,280 Speaker 3: Particular unity it takes like the pass covering shop. 461 00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:32,160 Speaker 5: I think Uh, the biggest thing is just understanding route 462 00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:34,720 Speaker 5: concepts uh and being patient and just knowing my skill 463 00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:37,879 Speaker 5: set and using my skill set, and uh, it's just 464 00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:41,000 Speaker 5: all around improvement of everything. Honestly, Uh, I couldn't say 465 00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:43,600 Speaker 5: one particular thing. Is just every single thing about my game, 466 00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:45,919 Speaker 5: I think uh I improved on and trying to continue 467 00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:46,520 Speaker 5: to improve on. 468 00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:49,880 Speaker 3: Is it that more uh, recognition or communications? 469 00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:53,159 Speaker 5: Both or definitely both? I think, uh, without communication, you 470 00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:55,480 Speaker 5: can't recognize what's coming, So I think it's definitely both. 471 00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:57,440 Speaker 8: So did you guys similarly responsibility? 472 00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:00,639 Speaker 7: You shouldn't that extracuse hope, Really. 473 00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:01,679 Speaker 4: That's a kid. 474 00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:04,639 Speaker 5: Yeah, it was kind of the same, but kind of 475 00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:06,320 Speaker 5: different at the same time. I think college you have 476 00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:11,240 Speaker 5: uh less responsibilities, and what less responsibilities is less communication? 477 00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:13,600 Speaker 5: So uh, I think it's just you know, you go 478 00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:16,960 Speaker 5: to another level, a higher level, higher execution, higher communication, 479 00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:19,159 Speaker 5: higher responsibilities that come with that. 480 00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:20,920 Speaker 3: What do you think is the biggest key of the 481 00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:23,400 Speaker 3: the fast starts you guys have had Defensively, they've given 482 00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:24,359 Speaker 3: a lot of first down. 483 00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:25,000 Speaker 7: Give them first of all. 484 00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:28,159 Speaker 5: Uh, I think we're just starting fast, we're communicating, we're 485 00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:31,439 Speaker 5: playing fast, trusting each other and just playing football.

Uh, and just 506 00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:15,840 Speaker 5: every day in practice. 507 00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:18,720 Speaker 8: I think what uh, what do you see as the. 508 00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:21,000 Speaker 6: Greatest challenges for this week? 509 00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:24,200 Speaker 5: About this space? Uh think the greatest challenge is just 510 00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:26,639 Speaker 5: being able to communicate fast. Uh. I know, they go 511 00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:30,280 Speaker 5: up temple a little bit, and the focus point for 512 00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:32,440 Speaker 5: us is just being able to communicate when things going fast. 513 00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:34,560 Speaker 5: You uh tend to see us, you know, have a 514 00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:37,240 Speaker 5: little trouble here and there with that, and uh, that's 515 00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:40,359 Speaker 5: been all throughout camps. So we're just still polishing that 516 00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:42,120 Speaker 5: stuff up, still getting better at there, and still trying 517 00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:43,280 Speaker 5: to you know, execute those things. 518 00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:44,720 Speaker 4: Try go through a. 519 00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:48,120 Speaker 8: Stretch where there's a c some seals like injuries keep blowing. 520 00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:48,520 Speaker 5: Out every week. 521 00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:50,840 Speaker 10: As a player, do you kind of put blinders on 522 00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:52,600 Speaker 10: or is it something that you do as as a 523 00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:54,000 Speaker 10: team kind of recognize. 524 00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:55,040 Speaker 5: That, you know, you have to have a lot of 525 00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:55,919 Speaker 5: guys stepping out here. 526 00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:56,439 Speaker 8: Uh. 527 00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:59,919 Speaker 5: I think that's throughout life playing the sport. Uh. 528 00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:00,119 Speaker 7: Uh. 529 00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:02,760 Speaker 5: People always get hurting. It's unfortunate, but at the end 530 00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:04,960 Speaker 5: of the day, you can't let the body. We got 531 00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:05,920 Speaker 5: a job to do. 532 00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:06,239 Speaker 10: Uh. 533 00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:07,560 Speaker 5: We all got a job to do. We all got 534 00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:10,280 Speaker 5: goals that we wanna reach, and if any of us 535 00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:12,760 Speaker 5: flinch or anything, then uh, we can't reach those goals. 536 00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:14,080 Speaker 5: So I think the best thing for us is just 537 00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:16,840 Speaker 5: to stay focused on the tasking hand Patrick, I know. 538 00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:19,720 Speaker 9: M a roquon, where's the dot? But there looks to 539 00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:22,359 Speaker 9: be a lot of pre snap communication in the middle 540 00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:25,960 Speaker 9: of the field. Is there sc shared pre snap duties? 541 00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:28,800 Speaker 9: All those just regular communications you know that we would 542 00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:30,119 Speaker 9: see on a play to play basis. 543 00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:32,760 Speaker 5: Yeah. So uh, basically with Roe having a green die, 544 00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:34,560 Speaker 5: he gets the call, he echoes the call, We all 545 00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:36,760 Speaker 5: echo the call to each other, and then it's communications 546 00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:39,600 Speaker 5: after that. What's the formation, what what are we expecting, 547 00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:42,680 Speaker 5: what's our job responsibilities, what's the checks? Uh, It's just 548 00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:45,240 Speaker 5: different stuff that goes into those communications. So frome ones 549 00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:46,800 Speaker 5: get roll, get the call from Mike and might might 550 00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:49,000 Speaker 5: give a hint here and there about uh be ready 551 00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:51,280 Speaker 5: for this or that, But it's communication within the UH 552 00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:55,280 Speaker 5: lines for us roads. 553 00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:56,159 Speaker 7: Yeah. Uh. 554 00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:59,480 Speaker 5: Just being more vocal. Uh every day he comes in 555 00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:01,920 Speaker 5: with a grayda too and always talking. And I think 556 00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:03,680 Speaker 5: that's the biggest thing for me, just being a shot person, 557 00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:06,680 Speaker 5: not talking as much and just letting people be. But 558 00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:08,959 Speaker 5: I think, uh, you get to know people better uh 559 00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:11,960 Speaker 5: and more, and you know, it brightes the mood, it 560 00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:13,639 Speaker 5: braks in everybody moved when you talk a lot.
