00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:01,000
Speaker 1: What's going on.

2
00:00:02,720 --> 00:00:08,799
Speaker 2: We haven't really talked to you about the day this

3
00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:15,080
Speaker 2: morning about a little your situation and watching.

4
00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:20,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, protect your teammates, that's all I got

5
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:25,919
Speaker 1: to say about it. No, I think that's paint from

6
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:32,879
Speaker 1: somebody's face. Mash the game, Yes, sir, play.

7
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:37,360

Speaker 3: What did you learn from.

9
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:41,720
Speaker 2: Trying to correct that?

10
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:44,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean we just got to pick up the stunt.

11
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:46,479
Speaker 1: We do it every day in practice. Now it's just

12
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:50,840
Speaker 1: got to go to the game. Uh it's very fixable.

13
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 1: Uh So that's something we'll work on. And you know,

14
00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 1: we obviously know that's something that can't happen. Uh So

15
00:00:58,440 --> 00:00:59,280
Speaker 1: if we'll get it fixed.

16
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 4: Well, Deaner, you might set finishing blocks in the game.

17
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 4: How important is that to you? One guy you kind

18
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:10,560
Speaker 4: of sat over five yards down the field.

19
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 2: And another what was that like for you?

20
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 4: And kind of how.

21
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:14,760
Speaker 5: Important is that for you?

22
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:17,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I think it's very important, not just

23
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:20,120
Speaker 1: for me, but you know, that's something that we preach

24
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 1: for a whole team, just to you know, we want

25
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:25,040
Speaker 1: to set the tone the way that we play. Uh So,

26
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 1: you know I wasn't the only guy doing that. You know,

27

Speaker 1: letting them do their thing. They're special. So you know,

70
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 1: give them, you know, the the sliver of air, uh

71
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 1: and they'll make something happening on the offensive on the

72
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 1: same side to free common in this sleep.

82
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:49,480

86
00:03:57,960 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 1: you know, try to put our best foot forward.

87
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 4: Each and every days and you are finishing.

88
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 6: How would you sort of describe your field when you're

89
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 6: opposing your will and someone but.

90
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 2: You're doing are in the NFL?

91
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean honestly, you know, after you do it,

92
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 1: you just kind of got to get up, put it

93
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 1: behind you, uh, and go to the next play.

94
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 6: Uh.

95
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:21,360
Speaker 1: It's kind of like that, you know, leave it all behind.

96
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 1: You know, it can be a good play. For if

97
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 1: you have sixty plays in the game, fifty nine of

98
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:29,159
Speaker 1: them can be good, one bad one. Can you know?

99
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 1: Ruin the night? So you know it's really nothing. You know,

100
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 1: you don't get too high, don't get too low. You

101
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:36,160
Speaker 1: just try to, you know, put your best foot forward

102
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 1: each and every play.

103
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:41,840

Speaker 4: together every step of the way.

107
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, no doubt. It's you know, like I said, it's

108
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 1: it's very cool. Uh and you know, very good for

109
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:57,039
Speaker 1: us because you know we're both learning so much, uh,

110
00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:59,719
Speaker 1: you know at the same time and you know coming together,

111
00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 1: you building that bond on and off the field. Uh,

112
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 1: and you know, trying to, like I said, just have

113
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 1: the you know, best chemistry possible that we can have

114
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 1: to go out there and you know, just do our

115
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 1: job at a high level to give these guys, you know,

116
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 1: opportunities to make place.

117
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:26,040
Speaker 2: Let me notice the special teams.

118
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 3: What does that mean to you? Yeah, yeah, it means

119
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:30,160
Speaker 3: a lot.

120
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 8: You know.

121
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:32,599
Speaker 3: Coach Abel kind of hands on. So I like that

122
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 3: as a player.

123
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 9: Coach they'll tell you when you're doing right, and the

124
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:36,920
Speaker 9: coach they'll tell you what you're doing wrong and then

125
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 9: not just not really selling for like the good stuff

126
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:41,599
Speaker 9: and whatever it's bad.

127
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 3: So he let us know and he talking a little

128
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 3: trash to it. So I love it. I just they

129
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 3: put me out there.

130
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 9: If they say go to special teams, go to kicker

131
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 9: or whatever, I'm gonna do what they want me to.

132
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:58,280
Speaker 2: Do special teams.

133
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 9: Yeah, you know, I kind of I kind of blended

134
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 9: together as in like getting releases and getting off the ball.

135
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 9: So that helped that helped me a lot.

136
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:17,279
Speaker 3: Oh, I don't know my place. Uh.

137
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 9: I feel like I'm doing good wrestling every day, getting

138
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 9: to know the offense better each and every day.

139
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 3: Man, whatever that happens after that happens after that.

140
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:32,160
Speaker 2: What's your last year maybe behind you?

141
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 9: And Yeah, my mindset going in this camp was just

142
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,680
Speaker 9: honestly getting a good grasp on the on the offense.

143
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 9: And whenever I get the good grass on the offense,

144
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:41,479
Speaker 9: then the rest to take place in the Maryland.

145
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 2: What's been your process for offense?

146
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 9: Extra extra minutes after practice. I kind of get with

147
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:50,479
Speaker 9: coach Hodde every morning at eight o'clock. So we do

148
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 9: that every morning, and I gotta I kind of get

149
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:55,039
Speaker 9: what I want to. I kind of get where where

150
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 9: I'm gonna go and where where players gonna run.

151
00:06:56,920 --> 00:07:00,599

Speaker 9: was at he was at past teams at the officive coordinator.

154
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:12,200

Speaker 9: doing right.

161
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:27,440
Speaker 2: What's the biggest difference between the guy.

162
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 9: Every Yeah, oh no, that's a question you need to

163
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 9: ask you tell me. I'm just I'm just playing my game.

164
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 9: That ball comes always my ball, and that's the only

165
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 9: thing that goes in my head.

166
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 2: What's been your favorite part of camp?

167
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 9: Uh, coach getting on the field, running the defense, act

168
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 9: like you still playing linebacker.

169
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 3: That's that's what That's what give me laughing every time.

170
00:07:53,720 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 9: Yeah, Yeah, that's been good, you know, kind of.

171
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 3: I don't know.

172
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 9: Some days he might be Matt Collins. Next day he

173
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 9: might be somebody else. I don't know, Like when he

174
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 9: walking around with his shoes off. I jone him every time.

175
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 2: Speaking of coach, would you make him jumping in to

176
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 2: break more questions? The other day?

177
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:14,720
Speaker 3: It was cool?

178
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 5: Yeah.

179
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 2: Did you see the tape on that? No?

180
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 3: I see, Yeah, thanks you, I appreciate it.

181
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 2: Thanks Jo.

182
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 5: Good.

183
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 2: We're in there for long. But what did you make

184
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 2: your first impressions of the first few SERI offensive?

185
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 7: Yeah, it was good. It was good to get some

186
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:33,560
Speaker 7: runs called. You know, we had the good joint practice

187
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:35,720
Speaker 7: to commanders, but it's pretty situational, so we couldn't get

188
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 7: us downhill. So it was good to get some combinations

189
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 7: and get on some linebackers in the run game, and uh,

190
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:44,320
Speaker 7: try and show the identity that coach Rable wants us

191
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 7: to show.

192
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 2: Would you see Will on tape finishing like fifteen yards

193
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 2: down the field and something. I mean, you've been around

194
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 2: a long while, but what does that say to.

195
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 5: You about him?

196
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:55,839
Speaker 7: He's taking away. He's been coached, you know, That's that's

197
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:57,200
Speaker 7: what they're That's what they're coaching.

198
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 5: Us to do. That's the ideentity we want to have

199
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 5: as aligned as a team.

200
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 7: And uh, yeah, it's a great it's a great finish,

201
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 7: you know, and then it's sorry, get back up and

202
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 7: do it again.

203
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:07,959
Speaker 2: How was the communication?

204
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, I thought it was pretty good. There's

205
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 7: you can always be better. There's little things like, hey,

206
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:18,240
Speaker 7: instead of this combination, let's hit this combination or.

207
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 5: Getting off on the on the snap. If we can

208
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:22,920
Speaker 5: all just.

209
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 7: Just be that much better, it'll help us going forward,

210
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 7: especially riding the ball.

211
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 5: But I think it was a good start.

212
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 2: Saw Sam here. We couldn't tell martage point what happened.

213
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, there, to my knowledge, it hit the rightning. The

214
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:37,520
Speaker 5: running back was kind of parked up.

215
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 7: The guys didn't hit the side of the leg, So

216
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:42,200
Speaker 7: we'll get get on film and and we'll clean that

217
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 7: up because there's no room for that appreciate We can't tell,

218
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 7: you know, I asked someone, so I don't know if

219
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:50,200
Speaker 7: that's right or wrong, but that's what I heard.

220
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:54,480
Speaker 5: So basically, quick, can you kind of believe that you're

221
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:57,079
Speaker 5: already returning to Minnesota? Crazy? Crazy?

222
00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 7: You know when I first signed here, not that we're

223
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 7: gonna be going back there for joint practice. So it'll

224
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 7: be it'll be great to see all the former guys.

225
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:09,960
Speaker 7: This business is about relationships and so being there for

226
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,320
Speaker 7: six years, whether it's guys in the equipment room, guys

227
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 7: in the weight room, operations guys, most importantly the guys

228
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 7: in that locker room. So I got a lot of

229
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:19,560
Speaker 7: friends there and it'll be good to see them. But

230
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 7: at the same time, compete, uh, and just get that

231
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 7: much closer to the week one.

232
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:27,720
Speaker 5: You know, it was it was brief.

233
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 7: He got hurt early, didn't take a lot of snaps

234
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,839
Speaker 7: in training camp with us, and then unfortunately it was

235
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 7: non weight bearing, so like wasn't going to practice, wasn't

236
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 7: going to meetings, and then towards the end of the

237
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:43,199
Speaker 7: year started coming around more. But you know, he's got

238
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 7: a great vibe, he's got a great personality. He works hard,

239
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 7: he's got the right attitude. So and yeah, I wish

240
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:51,960
Speaker 7: him nothing but the best. Uh, he's a great kid.

241
00:10:52,040 --> 00:11:04,080
Speaker 7: And uh yeah, didn't didn't spend a time time with him. Yeah,

242
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:07,160
Speaker 7: you know, fortunately because I've seen some offenses come in

243
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:08,959
Speaker 7: there for joint practice, but not a lot of game

244
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 7: plan and it's an absolute disaster because you have to

245
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 7: game plan it. But I think fortunately, not just me

246
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:17,160
Speaker 7: going against it for a few years, Coach McDaniel and

247
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:20,480
Speaker 7: Flores know each other very well, and so it'll be

248
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:23,080
Speaker 7: a good battle. It's it's unique because we're not gonna

249
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 7: see that every Sunday all year. But there's little things

250
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:27,840
Speaker 7: wrinkles and this with this defense that you're like, all right,

251
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:29,520
Speaker 7: let's have an answer to this, let's go back to

252
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 7: our rules.

253
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:32,640
Speaker 5: So it'll be a good test.

254
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:37,200
Speaker 2: Is ultimately the benefit defense like the limits of the

255
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 2: rules that you have.

256
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:41,200
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, you know, it's just it's it's different. It's

257
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:44,560
Speaker 7: at the same time, they're gonna wind up in a

258
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 7: certain base defense, but they're gonna shift to it. They're

259
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 7: gonna blitz to it. But at the same time, it's

260
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:51,840
Speaker 7: you're gonna be across from another man. You gotta win

261
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:58,360
Speaker 7: your job. Yeah, I was, yeah, what did you Uh Yeah,

262
00:11:58,400 --> 00:11:59,960
Speaker 7: I mean he's got one of the most famous play

263
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 7: it's not the most famous in Viking history. So I love,

264
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:06,320
Speaker 7: love my time there with him. Already talked to him

265
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 7: about going back. He's been back, he's played there. Might

266
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 7: be a little different because we're at the training camp

267
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:16,959
Speaker 7: or the practice facility, but.

268
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:17,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean he's he's awesome. He's awesome.

269
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:23,000
Speaker 7: Haven't seen the We call it the country club up

270
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:27,600
Speaker 7: there because it's so nice. So it's uh, yeah, they

271
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:30,320
Speaker 7: did a great job with it, so it'll be I

272
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:32,599
Speaker 7: mean it's it's great for their guys, but at the

273
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 7: same time for a joint practice setup, it's a good facility.

274
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 5: We'll stay in the hotel right next to it.

275
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 7: Uh, it's it'll be a good competition for a few days.

276
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 5: The best amenity. It's all just new.

277
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:46,960
Speaker 7: It's all just new, you know, it's uh But at

278
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,040
Speaker 7: the same time, it's it's got everything we got here.

279
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:50,120
Speaker 5: It's just it's just new.

280
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 2: The guys.

281
00:12:53,960 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 7: Motivation, Yeah, always, always but if you go into it

282
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 7: treating it like any other day, you know, that's that's

283
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:05,800
Speaker 7: when your beat. So it's just had the same approach

284
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:08,400
Speaker 7: to practice and then I don't know, finished a little

285
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 7: longer maybe, but hopefully I'm doing it anyway.

286
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, thanks, Yeah, all.

287
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:16,520
Speaker 4: Right, Craig, you gotta settle whether you get under that

288
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:19,439
Speaker 4: that pick here from working to get Drake in the ryzone.

289
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 10: Nah, I hit the ground, but I should have played

290
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:22,959
Speaker 10: it off. I should have I should have made it

291
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:24,839
Speaker 10: look like I had it and it ran the other way. So,

292
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 10: you know, I definitely learned from that those type of situations.

293
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 10: You guys just play it off. Man, the reps don't

294
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 10: be knowing.

295
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:30,560
Speaker 4: Ye.

296
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:33,200
Speaker 2: What's been the most surprising part of this process.

297
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 10: Stood at really just the competitiveness of everything, Like every

298
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:43,560
Speaker 10: drill that you do, like you're competing and you're trying

299
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:44,440
Speaker 10: to earn a role on the team.

300
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 6: So I think just an intensity of that. It's just

301
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:47,760
Speaker 6: you know, on a whole nother level.

302
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:51,400
Speaker 11: In college, you guys talked about how this is very

303
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:56,800
Speaker 11: much be attack the quarterback.

304
00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 2: How does it change for what you guys.

305
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:01,199
Speaker 6: Have to be quarterback? I mean, we gotta be in

306
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 6: tighten coverage. We're gonna be aggressive up front.

307
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 10: Then you know in the back end, we got to

308
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 10: be able to handle those guys one on one and

309
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:09,920
Speaker 10: you know, playing cover zero things like that, So just

310
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 10: got to be aggressive. It's been good those guys who've

311
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 10: been in the league for a long time, so just

312
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 10: learning from them, asking them questions, being able to hear,

313
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 10: you know, how they think and process the game. I

314
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:23,920
Speaker 10: think it just helps me as a young guy who's

315
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:26,920
Speaker 10: trying to be in those shoes, correct in the game

316
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:27,720
Speaker 10: and put a.

317
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:30,720
Speaker 3: Lot on your planes, spots and things like that.

318
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 5: Just do you like doing that? Is that something that you're.

319
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:33,600
Speaker 10: Used to do.

320
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm used to doing it. At Cal we kind

321
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 6: of did everything.

322
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 10: So for me to be in you know, different positions,

323
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 10: whether it's free or in the box, whatever it is, Like,

324
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:45,200
Speaker 10: you know, I'm just ready for the challenge and whatever

325
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:47,480
Speaker 10: position that the coaches want to put me in, I

326
00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 10: have to be ready.

327
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:52,040
Speaker 6: Times almost at the first level.

328
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:59,320
Speaker 10: Uh, pretty pretty much like a lot in this scheme.

329
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:02,040
Speaker 10: I mean, you're gonna have to do things like that.

330
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:05,240
Speaker 10: So uh, just gotta be ready for those one of ones.

331
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 3: Defense special teams.

332
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 6: Mm hm, how much?

333
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean, special teams for a young guys a

334
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:28,960
Speaker 10: way to earn a role on the team and have

335
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 10: a spot on the fifty three minute roster. So I

336
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:34,000
Speaker 10: think for me, special teams is important and there's an

337
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 10: extension of defense in a way. So just you know,

338
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:38,880
Speaker 10: being on there and being able to communicate at PP,

339
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:41,360
Speaker 10: I think that's you know, what's gonna help the team

340
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 10: some of.

341
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:45,040
Speaker 2: Those specific feedback you go stats after watching the.

342

Speaker 5: Tape of Friday Night.

343
00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:49,960
Speaker 10: Uh, situational awareness. Uh, that's That's pretty much all I

344
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 10: could say on that. Just situational awareness and uh, just

345
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:54,320
Speaker 10: running my feet when I'm tackling.

Speaker 10: to the league.

352
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:13,360
Speaker 6: So there's a good connection there.

353
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 10: We're on the field a lot together, so it's just

354

361
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:41,080
Speaker 10: it's filled up. Even when we run low, I gotta

367
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:57,600
Speaker 2: Curious.

368
00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:05,639
Speaker 10: M hm. You watching that, uh, the one over in

369
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 10: the in the corner. I think for that one, I

370
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:10,440
Speaker 10: mean it was good coverage. He just he made a play,

371
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:12,520
Speaker 10: And those are kind of you're just like, hey, like

372
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:14,920
Speaker 10: you know it was good coverage on defense, good playing

373
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:16,879
Speaker 10: on offense. That's one of the ones you just you

374
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:19,040
Speaker 10: watch you said, hey, you know that's that's a good play.

375
00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:20,800
Speaker 6: And next one just snapping clear.

376
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:27,400
Speaker 10: Changed when yeah, because I mean with a tight end,

377
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:29,879
Speaker 10: you gotta know you know the matchup and also like

378
00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:32,800
Speaker 10: they're not gonna outrun you. So uh, I think that

379
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:34,960
Speaker 10: your mind kind of changed a little bit and you

380
00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:38,840
Speaker 10: kind of want to slow down your process a little bit. Yeah,

381
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:41,359
Speaker 10: all right, thank you, have a blessing.

382
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:45,119

Speaker 5: Good good.

384
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:52,840
Speaker 1: Defense, strong practice, advantage.

385
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 8: Uh you know, gotta get back inside, look at the

386
00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:00,440
Speaker 8: tape clean. Never as good, never as bad as you think.

387
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:02,399
Speaker 8: But it's always good to go out there and compete

388
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:03,480
Speaker 8: in the reds on and make some players.

389
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 6: For sure.

390
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 2: What's I'm sure you repeat that. Sure you don't wish for,

391
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:16,280
Speaker 2: but they happen.

392
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:21,480

Speaker 8: you know, like you said, to be able to get

396
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:30,560
Speaker 8: those reps under my belt that I haven't been getting

397
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:33,480

Speaker 8: I played a little bit of slot my rookie year

427
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:50,640
Speaker 8: and last year, but this year has been the most

428
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:52,600
Speaker 8: slot reps I've gotten, and you know, it's built my

Speaker 8: I feel like this year has just been me learning

432
00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:00,000
Speaker 8: the different splits of receivers in the slots and things

433
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:07,800

Speaker 8: Friday for sure. Just all around being all around football player.

451
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 8: I feel like I'm always focusing on getting better physically,

452
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:06,560
Speaker 8: but this year I focused a lot more mentally on

453
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:09,760
Speaker 8: just watching a lot of film in the offseason, watching

454
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:11,639
Speaker 8: different guys from around the league, trying to take different

455
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:13,120
Speaker 8: techniques from them and just add.

456
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:13,800
Speaker 3: It to my tool box.

457
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:17,760
Speaker 8: A little bit of everybody and the slot wise, though,

458
00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:20,480
Speaker 8: I watched some of Alonte Taylor from the Saints. You know,

459
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:22,639
Speaker 8: I feel like he's a longer dB plays slot. So

460
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:24,440
Speaker 8: I watched some of his film and I feel like

461
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:25,120
Speaker 8: it helped me out.

462
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:29,680
Speaker 3: I appreciate, appreciate you, boy,
