1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,880
Speaker 1: S part to UH training camp the first two days.

2
00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:04,160
Speaker 1: UH A lot of.

3
00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:07,880
Speaker 2: Energy and the way the guys are flying around, and

4
00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:10,520
Speaker 2: I think that's definitely a great start for us defensively,

5
00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:13,000
Speaker 2: UH pretty much trying to pick up what we left

6
00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:13,760
Speaker 2: off in the spring.

7
00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:14,319
Speaker 1: UH.

8
00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:17,560
Speaker 2: Communication is always the key early on and really trying

9
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:20,920
Speaker 2: to avoid uh the mishaps right here for its miscommunication.

10
00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:23,079
Speaker 2: I think the guys are doing the outsetting job number

11
00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:25,520
Speaker 2: one of communicating to one another and as you can

12
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:27,880
Speaker 2: see being out there, UH flying around and getting to

13
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:28,400
Speaker 2: the football.

14
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:31,320
Speaker 1: So UH with that, I'll take you questions. H.

15
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:33,479
Speaker 2: How's the acclimation process going for you?

16
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:34,280
Speaker 1: Uh?

17
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:38,360
Speaker 3: Coming in here with UH basically a holdover staff UH

18
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:41,040
Speaker 3: and just learning things as you go to UH.

19
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 2: I think that's the key thing that you just said,

20
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:46,279
Speaker 2: is UH having an open mind to learn. You know,

21
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:49,519
Speaker 2: been around quite a bit, I've done a lot of

22
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 2: different things, but UH it's not my way as the

23
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 2: forty nine ers way. So easy transition from the spring

24
00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 2: to now and just trying to continue to build onto

25
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 2: the things that we've uh stopped was in the spring.

26
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:03,600
Speaker 1: I sure like that here sooner than later.

27
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 4: But in the meantimes, is it helpful to get a chance.

28
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:07,479
Speaker 3: To get a better look at some of those other

29
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 3: guys who are kind of chocking position around him or

30
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:10,759
Speaker 3: beside him.

31
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 2: I I it's a long season, and uh, you're always

32
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 2: gonna have guys step up and have to play. I

33
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 2: go back, and I look at the spring with the

34
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 2: opportunity that uh those other other corners had with Money

35
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 2: not being here. Uh, he had opportunity right now for

36
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 2: uh Amory to get better. He saw Demo progressing, getting better.

37
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:31,760
Speaker 2: So I agree totally. You know, it's a change for

38
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 2: you know, Drake to step up along with Austin Bryant

39
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 2: and uh a lot of other guys.

40
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 3: See, I I get the sense that Kim Law's got

41
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 3: some momentum going.

42
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:41,679
Speaker 1: What are you seeing from him?

43
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 2: Well, y, you know from day one, I've I've been

44
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 2: talking about, you know, Ken Law and his progression.

45
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 1: Uh. He stayed here all summer.

46
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 2: Uh, dedicated himself for us, trying to continue to get

47
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 2: his body right. Uh.

48
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 1: Uh.

49
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 2: Mentally he's in a great spot and just a love

50
00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 2: the way he's playing, violent hands up front, getting off

51
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 2: the ball, and the way he's turning and running and

52
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 2: getting to the football is amazing.

53
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 1: I know. Uh, Kyle showed one of the players in the.

54
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:08,240
Speaker 2: Team meeting this morning with him just coming out of

55
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 2: the stack as we call it, and I'm just excited

56
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 2: right now and just uh looking for him to have

57
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:13,639
Speaker 2: a great year.

58
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 1: You our great appear to have a sack at one point.

59
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:19,240
Speaker 1: What makes him so difficult to block, particularly on passways?

60
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 2: Uh, pad level, very explosive, a low center and gravity

61
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 2: to the ground. He has a great quick first step

62
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 2: coming off the ball, and he's very powerful defense.

63
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 4: But yeah, pretty back pick your y defense picks 'em

64
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 4: all r right away?

65
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 1: Is there had energy when when party's bad? What what

66
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 1: does the defense pick up against?

67
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 2: Well, Uh, I think it's it's great energy. Uh across

68
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:43,960
Speaker 2: the board. We we know what he can do. We

69
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:46,640
Speaker 2: know what he was able to establish last year. So uh,

70
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:50,960
Speaker 2: guy's feet off him. You know, just my perspective. I

71
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 2: I've seen all those guys progressing get better trades. One

72
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:55,520
Speaker 2: a tremendous job back in the spring as well. But

73
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 2: perty does bring U a level of excitement.

74
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,639
Speaker 3: Yesterday who fung up made a play And Kyle said

75
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:03,240
Speaker 3: he'd have to go back and watch the film on

76
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 3: the pass break up on the depault figure.

77
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 1: Out how we got over there. What happened? What did

78
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 1: you see on that plant? Uh? Great read, good anticipation.

79
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 2: You know, we always teach those guys it's not so

80
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:16,080
Speaker 2: much where the quarterback is looking when he's dropping back,

81
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:17,680
Speaker 2: cause when he get to the top of his drop

82
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 2: and he did a tr he he did a tremendous

83
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 2: job really reading the quarterback's eyes anticipated had a great

84
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 2: break and also understanding the formation. So we always say

85
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 2: the formation is talking to you. Gotta listen with your eyes.

86
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:31,360
Speaker 2: So it's certain things that he saw pre snap right

87
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:32,640
Speaker 2: that gave him a jump on the ball.

88
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 1: You talk about wanting to yuh cut down the explosive.

89
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 3: Uh in the secondary all if you went up trying

90
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 3: to go over the top of those times today?

91
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 1: Uh, how was that working? How was it all tied together? Uh?

92
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 1: It's time together.

93
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 2: Just everybody understanding that I'm gonna make my play when

94
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 2: the opportunity comes that. Uh, if they catch something inside

95
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 2: and in front of us, it's not gonna beat us.

96
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 2: You know, we gotta line up and play again. But

97
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 2: we can't give up the big play. And you know

98
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 2: we talked about that day one when we came back.

99
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 2: You know, the Miami game was something that I talked about,

100
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 2: uh and showed clips from last year. In the first

101
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 2: play the game seventy five yards, So, uh, we weathered

102
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 2: the storm there, but we wanna make sure we're not

103
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 2: giving those up.

104
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 4: So, uh, shall your brown get a a first team rep?

105
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 4: And then he immediately came off the field.

106
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 2: Uh are y are you.

107
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:23,480
Speaker 4: Doing that to give him specific looks against you know?

108
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:24,480
Speaker 1: Uh?

109
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 3: Is it thick alignment?

110
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 2: Not not so much that you know, h we just

111
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 2: got him in the rotation and and really uh long term,

112
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 2: also trying to take some pressure off you know Gibson,

113
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 2: you know, who's a seasoned veteran, and uh, we're looking

114
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:39,719
Speaker 2: at the long haul and and making sure that he's

115
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:41,719
Speaker 2: he's there at the end of the season, but also

116
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 2: opportunity for those young guys to progress because again, at

117
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 2: some point in time, we're gonna need him.

118
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 4: Well, I was just having a a veteran like Ibsen

119
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 4: and not CD's help that.

120
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:52,600
Speaker 2: Group just develop us.

121
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 1: Uh. It's great.

122
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:56,840
Speaker 2: You know, we had some veterans that that left us,

123
00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:00,280
Speaker 2: uh that were great players for us. But and uh,

124
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:03,279
Speaker 2: with Gibson being there, Uh, it's been a tremendous boost

125
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 2: for us. You know, uh, God that's been around quite

126
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 2: a bit can really be that vocal piece extension of

127
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 2: the coach in that meeting room as well as the

128
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,359
Speaker 2: locker room. You know, you know Huff third year, but

129
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:16,559
Speaker 2: he's progressing and he's starting to learn and come along

130
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:18,920
Speaker 2: as well. Uh So I like his leadership in the

131
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:22,840
Speaker 2: way he communicates out there as an goal for you

132
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 2: as or uh I he does because number one, he

133
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 2: controls a lot based off formations and the communication that

134
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:31,840
Speaker 2: the nickel has to talk to the linebackers, particularly when

135
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 2: we start getting motion and things that that are changing.

136
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:37,599
Speaker 2: So uh, we emphasize that the other day that you know,

137
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:39,679
Speaker 2: he has to be vocal, he has to take control,

138
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:41,360
Speaker 2: and he's done a tremendous job of that thus far.

139
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 1: Well has has played outside so recently did you.

140
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:47,279
Speaker 4: See him blames and all sizes.

141
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 1: He gives us that flexibility.

142
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:52,039
Speaker 2: I I think, you know, uh, the rotation that we

143
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:53,360
Speaker 2: have outside right now I think.

144
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:54,480
Speaker 1: Is pretty good, pretty deep.

145
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 2: But uh, you know, you never wanna get to the

146
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 2: situation where injuries come up. It happens, but he gives

147
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 2: you opportunity to be able to go outside and play

148
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 2: right now inside man, I mean I probably probably never

149
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 2: been around a a a group like this on defense,

150
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:16,360
Speaker 2: particularly up front. The talent level that we have. Uh, yeah,

151
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 2: see he plays three you know at times right there

152
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:20,360
Speaker 2: we can put him at you know, the the two

153
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 2: ey and the nose as well.

154
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 1: But uh, he's pretty effective. We just have the three technique.

155
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 3: Armstead was saying yesterday that he's not really a real

156
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 3: overly vocal R guy.

157
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:32,680
Speaker 2: You know, Nick pos is pretty low key and dead man.

158
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:37,360
Speaker 3: John Hargrave is a really amble, hardworking guy.

159
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 1: Is there like a a s a presence in there

160
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 1: that this kind of guy.

161
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 3: That serves things up or I think they said it's

162
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 3: up as the.

163
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:46,720
Speaker 1: Way we play. You know what, what do you see

164
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 1: about that front seven? The sites? That's what I was

165
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 1: a great echo.

166
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 2: I I think, you know, the way they play speaks

167
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 2: speaks volumes. You know, our vocal guys, Fred he's gonna

168
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:00,839
Speaker 2: get everybody going from the front and the back.

169
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 1: So, uh, the the.

170
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:05,239
Speaker 2: Way those guys play up front, uh speaks speaks loud,

171
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:07,919
Speaker 2: you know. So Uh, I want them to continue to

172
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 2: play hard, get off the ball, and do the things

173
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 2: that we're asking them to do.

174
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 4: What's been your impression of just seeing Fred and that

175
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 4: energy you know in the first two days of camp

176
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 4: when that things are maybe a little.

177
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 2: Slow, and you know he's beating that vocal Uh again,

178
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 2: he just brings the juice. I think it it It

179
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 2: excites the uh the defense.

180
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 1: You know.

181
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 2: I I I go back and I think about a

182
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 2: guy like, uh Thomas Davis in Carolina.

183
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 1: Uh, you know that Fred's.

184
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:36,560
Speaker 2: That guy, you know, Uh, very vocal, but also his

185
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 2: play is phenomenal.

186
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 3: But if you've m you mentioned that the the guys

187
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 3: at the front are unique in terms of how they played.

188
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 3: They have really been around a group like that. You

189
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:46,640
Speaker 3: look at your path and other different stots. Is there

190
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:49,440

00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:55,120
