00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,760
Speaker 1: And I'll check he out. So I get started with

2
00:00:01,800 --> 00:00:06,440
Speaker 1: the first question from Jim McBride. Please, Hey, Brian Ally,

00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:25,920
Speaker 1: and just kind of the emotions you go through. Yeah,

10
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:29,160
Speaker 1: I was excited, um that they wanted to do that.

11
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:33,159
Speaker 1: Someone asked for water, so I ran over to the fridge,

12
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:34,960
Speaker 1: try to grab a couple of bottles and get in

13
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:37,519
Speaker 1: on the action. Let's trying to you know, toss it

00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:03,280
Speaker 1: and us getting better every week. And um, you know,

20
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 1: so it was good too. It was a good um

21
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:11,680
Speaker 1: added bonus. You know, he's um commended so much. You know,

22
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 1: to this game and Tom always done for it. UM.

23
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:23,119
Speaker 1: I'm you know, honored that to be on the same

24
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 1: staff with him and UM, you know, it's pretty pretty

25
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 1: special second all time. And I wanted to ask you

26
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 1: about Julius and Scar Jabril and his kind of unique

27
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:39,679
Speaker 1: skill set that allows you to match him up as

28
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 1: kind of a piece against different defenses, and how you

29
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 1: saw him kind of step up this week in Kyle's absence. Yeah,

30
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 1: Pep's been been great since he got here. UM as

31
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 1: a guy who's coming in the off season, and UM

32
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 1: worked really hard to rehab. He had a tough injury,

33
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 1: knee injury last year. UM, and he really because of

34
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 1: his hard work, you know, really UM turned the corner

35
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 1: quicker than most would have expected, and so we were

36
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 1: able to play you know, earlier and early in the season.

37
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:19,839
Speaker 1: And now he's kept building UM and you know, as

38
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 1: he gets more comfortable in the defense and UM, you know,

39
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:27,520
Speaker 1: it's he's playing faster and it's great not you know,

40
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 1: he is a great learner and learned it, UM and

41
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:35,239
Speaker 1: worked hard on it coming in as a new vet. UM.

42
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 1: But it's been good, and you know, I'm thankful. We

43
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 1: have a lot of you know, great safeties in the room, UM,

44
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 1: and comfortable with all of them on the field obviously. UM,

45
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 1: you can see that by you know, all all of

46
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:54,080
Speaker 1: those guys have played UM during the season and so

47
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 1: it's been it's been awesome. UM. You know, we had

48
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 1: dug out for the game and UM, other guys can

49
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 1: keep rolling through and it doesn't limit us. And one

50
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:11,360
Speaker 1: follow up on that about the knee injury, and you

51
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 1: said turn in the corner. We think back to the

52
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 1: spring in the summer when he wasn't quite ready to

53
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 1: be at practice, but he had the headphones on during practice.

54
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 1: Did that help him a lot to kind of you

55
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 1: know ingratiate himself into the off, into the defense and

56
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 1: and maybe when he was ready to hit the ground

57
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 1: have that kind of advanced knowledge. Yeah, it's something that UM,

58
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 1: we talk about a lot for guys who can't UM

59
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:39,839
Speaker 1: get out on the field, whether it's an injury or

60
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 1: you know something else, UM where they still need to

61
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 1: be taking mental reps and obviously, UM keeping up with

62
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 1: the scheme as it you know, progresses, whether it's in

63
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 1: training camp and we're building you know, our foundation of

64
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 1: the defense, or it's week to week with the plan

65
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 1: because the defense, you know, can change and be dynamics,

66
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 1: so guys being locked in and Pet did a great

67
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 1: job of that, UM earlier in the year when he

68
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 1: couldn't be on the field as much, UM, you know,

69
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 1: in training camp, and that really contributed to him, UM

70
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 1: being able to play fast, you know, once he got

71
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 1: out there. So he's really UM done everything well, UM

72
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 1: as far as coming in as a new that just

73
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 1: like you know, UM Adrian Phelps did in twenty twenty,

74
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:38,280
Speaker 1: and they've really become good parts of the defense force.

75
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 1: Thanks Bryan. Next question, Evanza, Hey Brian, how's it gone good?

76
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 1: How are you good? I wanted to ask you just

77
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:52,119
Speaker 1: about UM working as a staff to cross training guys

78
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 1: like Jabriel, Kyle, Adrian at linebacker and getting them ready

79
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:59,040
Speaker 1: to play at the second level of the defense. What's

80
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 1: that process like for you and kind of working with

81
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:03,920
Speaker 1: Gerard and I'm sure your brother a little bit too

82
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 1: on getting those guys ready to play basically as like

83
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:14,719
Speaker 1: inside linebackers some of the time. Yeah, you know, obviously

84
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 1: there's a there's a lot to it with the position

85
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 1: those guys play, especially where they can they can play

86
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 1: in the box, they play deep, they can you know,

87
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 1: there's a lot of different roles they can do. So

88
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:32,599
Speaker 1: it's UM, it's you know, foundationally, especially in the spring

89
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:38,160
Speaker 1: and camp. You gotta build those fundamentals early so that

90
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:42,720
Speaker 1: they do feel comfortable when they're down in the box. UM.

91
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:45,159
Speaker 1: And you'll know how often it's going to be, you know,

92
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 1: when it's gonna show up, if they're going to be

93
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 1: down there lined up, or if they're gonna be rotating

94
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 1: down there. But a lot of the principles apply that

95
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:59,120
Speaker 1: you um, that you try to build foundationally early in

96
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 1: the year. UM. So yeah, it's been it's been great

97
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 1: for me the last three years to um work with

98
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 1: those guys and the linebackers you know, with run fits

99
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 1: and you know, addressing blocks playing down there, and obviously

100
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:22,040
Speaker 1: for us, you know, UM, we need to come downhill

101
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:25,160
Speaker 1: and be physical, you know when we're addressing blocks like

102
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 1: that because we don't have you know, as many pounds

103
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:30,360
Speaker 1: on us as some of the other guys that the

104
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 1: offensive linemen are blocking. So UM, for us reading it out, UM,

105
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 1: playing fast and playing downhill is important. And you know,

106
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:47,800
Speaker 1: I'm thankful such a good group who's you know, willing

107
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:50,880
Speaker 1: to do that playing and play out um, you know,

108
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 1: there's not not a ton of safeties that do that

109
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 1: as much as we do out there. Awesome, thank you,

110
00:06:57,880 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 1: Thanks the
