1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,640
Speaker 1: Be back out there with the guys. Often seems like

2
00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:07,600
Speaker 1: they're they're rolling defense too. I think we're just we're

3
00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:08,000
Speaker 1: on track.

4
00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:11,399
Speaker 2: It's the stage in your career. What what does training

5
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:13,720
Speaker 2: camp mean to you? What are these early days? What

6
00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:15,160
Speaker 2: do you trying to accomplish?

7
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:18,160
Speaker 1: Really, it's it's it's about getting back into football shape,

8
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:20,320
Speaker 1: getting back with the guys, and making sure that everyone's

9
00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:22,880
Speaker 1: on the same page, working together. And you also kind

10
00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:25,360
Speaker 1: of build a little bit of a callous just against

11
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:27,280
Speaker 1: you know, like the little hits, the little you know,

12
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:30,600
Speaker 1: dings and bumps and bruises that football brings.

13
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:32,120
Speaker 3: With.

14
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:36,000
Speaker 2: However, things I'm fullded with Spencer or Feliciano. There's a

15
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:38,160
Speaker 2: chance that you might have a rookie right guard next

16
00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:40,199
Speaker 2: to you like you did two years ago when Spencer

17
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:40,519
Speaker 2: came in.

18
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:43,360
Speaker 3: What have you seen out of Pune and how you playing?

19
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:46,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I think everyone in the room can play,

20
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 1: and that's that's why they're here, you know. You know,

21
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 1: I think that you know, the coaching staff wants the

22
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 1: best player to be out there and we and we

23
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:57,720
Speaker 1: as players do too. And we're definitely seeing a few

24
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:00,440
Speaker 1: different bodies their right guard just right now. D to

25
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:04,040
Speaker 1: injuries and that sort of thing. But you know, one

26
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:06,680
Speaker 1: thing's for sure, first is going to have the best

27
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:07,679
Speaker 1: the best guy out there for.

28
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:11,319
Speaker 2: Us take there's a lot of good depth. As you

29
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 2: said in the room, you're a veteran. Is it a

30
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 2: competitive situation or do you feel like you are the

31
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 2: knowledgeable guy who can impart some wisdom to some of

32
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:22,320
Speaker 2: the young guys.

33
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 1: I mean, there's there's always competition. That's just the nature

34
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:29,200
Speaker 1: of the league. I feel like as soon as you

35
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:31,480
Speaker 1: get comfortable and complacent, that's when you lose your position

36
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:34,680
Speaker 1: and you lose your spot. But at the same time,

37
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:36,319
Speaker 1: I'm not going to be one of those vets that

38
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:39,120
Speaker 1: is not an open book. It is not going to

39
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 1: help the young guys because as a group, we need

40
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:43,760
Speaker 1: to succeed and as a group, we need to be

41
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:46,679
Speaker 1: as best as we can be, and being kind of

42
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 1: selfish and just worrying about myself wouldn't be the best

43
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 1: move to get to our end goal.

44
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 3: Rock Party talked about how he's finally getting the benefit

45
00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 3: of a full offseason. How much can you him both

46
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 3: benefit from that all those reps together.

47
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 1: Oh, it's I mean it's great, right, Like anytime you

48
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 1: bank a rep. That's that's that's one less you have

49
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:11,920
Speaker 1: to do in a game setting in practice, right, so

50
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:17,240
Speaker 1: every single snap we take is full speed, you know,

51
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 1: and and it's it's just one one more thing that

52
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 1: he can add to his resume and his repertoire. And

53
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 1: you know, I just feel like he's he's still young.

54
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 1: Even though he's playing at such a high level, he's

55
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 1: still a young player. So having the ability to have reps,

56
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:34,359
Speaker 1: uh this early in his career and not getting hit

57
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 1: in games all the time, getting those reps is really

58
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 1: perfect for him.

59
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:42,360
Speaker 2: Seem should ask you the question, does he seem like

60
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 2: a young player? Oh?

61
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,799
Speaker 1: No, No, for sure. No. I mean I've I've said

62
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:50,080
Speaker 1: this countless times now. The guy, even when he first

63
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 1: came in in the first game that he was playing

64
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 1: for us, he just demands attention, demands your best and

65
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:00,360
Speaker 1: he's just a natural leader. You know, you don't really

66
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:02,800
Speaker 1: see that from young guys like he doesn't. He doesn't

67
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:03,640
Speaker 1: have like a young player.

68
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 3: You see some of those benefits of getting those extra reps?

69
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:09,960
Speaker 3: Do you see those on the field already?

70
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:12,239
Speaker 1: Oh for sure, for sure. You know, there's there's there's

71
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 1: a lot of tricky things that quarterbacks have to do that.

72
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 1: It's it's not just uh, second nature. It really needs

73
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 1: to be drilled. It needs to be repped in order

74
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 1: for you to get the timing down and like the

75
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:27,119
Speaker 1: spacing down and being able to see the route tree

76
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 1: in your head before the ball snaps. All that stuff

77
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 1: is not just natural. Yeah, you definitely have to work

78
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 1: to make sure you're good at that.

79
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 3: So that it means last year without any reps, were

80
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 3: you pretty surprised at how well he operated in week

81
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 3: one with no reps up.

82
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 1: Until that point, I mean, he was, he was. He

83
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 1: was definitely taking reps when he could. And luckily, our

84
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 1: you know, ours, our scout offense runs a lot of

85
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 1: the same route trees that our normal offense does in practice,

86
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 1: so he was getting reps. They just weren't with the

87
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 1: same players. But yeah, I mean, I wouldn't say surprised,

88
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 1: because even the first day he showed up, I definitely

89
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 1: knew he was a special kid. But I was just

90
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 1: really just impressed by it.

91
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 2: Jake, how would you describe your relationship with Fred Warner?

92
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 1: Well, at least the first couple of weeks of camp.

93
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:20,479
Speaker 1: You know, it's it's a lot of just me and

94
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 1: him hitting each other, which is fun, you know. You know,

95
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 1: eventually we move on from the Mike declared runs to

96
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 1: more will and more Sam declared runs, so it becomes

97
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:33,840
Speaker 1: more balanced of who I'm hitting. But a lot of

98
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 1: it's just me and Fred right now, which is fun,

99
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:37,720
Speaker 1: you know, and he knows it and I know it

100
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 1: right So anytime he hears fifty four come out of

101
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 1: my mouth, that's usually a collision between us two.

102
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 2: Is it more the physical competition or is there a

103
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 2: mental game too between you and him.

104
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:50,600
Speaker 1: There's a little bit of a mental game, but that's

105
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 1: that's more between me and the defensive lineman. You know,

106
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 1: it's not He's just luckily defensive end or defenses have

107
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 1: changed the past like they were, like with the Luke

108
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:05,280
Speaker 1: Keigley defenses, like the mic could completely change the defense

109
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 1: depending on what he saw. I think now it's more

110
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:11,159
Speaker 1: of a schematic thing. So I'm more just messing with

111
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 1: the guys close closer to me than the Mike linebacker.

112
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 2: He's a very vocal guy on the on the field.

113
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:19,359
Speaker 2: How do you compact that?

114
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 1: You know, you have to be vocal back when it's

115
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 1: when it's the proper time, you know, Uh, you know,

116
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 1: I feel like anytime there's a first down and make

117
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 1: sure he knows it. But other than that, you know,

118
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 1: just little things, little jabs here and there.

119
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 2: He's you know, at it has been an all pro level, Yeah,

120
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:43,360
Speaker 2: for three year on pros. Do you does it help you?

121
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 2: You know, to challenge him and vice versa where you know,

122
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:49,119
Speaker 2: you feel like you've got to give him your best

123
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 2: to make him better and going back the other way

124
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 2: from him to you.

125
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 1: Oh, for sure, for sure. I mean iron sharpens iron.

126
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:59,360
Speaker 1: That's that's that's something that I've believed in since I

127
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 1: was I was first in the league. You know, going

128
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 1: going half speed, getting half speed reps against you know,

129
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 1: players that aren't going to be the players that you

130
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 1: see on Sundays. That's just not going to be as

131
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:12,680
Speaker 1: ben as beneficial as playing against guys that you know

132
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:14,599
Speaker 1: are the best of the best. You know. The fact

133
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 1: that I'm battling arguably the best Mike linebacker in the

134
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:21,480
Speaker 1: league every every single practice, that's that's that's just I

135
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:23,840
Speaker 1: mean that that that just makes me better, which is great.

136
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 2: The guys are going against on the D line have

137
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 2: have largely changed over this year.

138
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:34,040
Speaker 3: You have any any thoughts about the composition of the

139
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:36,600
Speaker 3: defensive tackles. I mean, there seemed to be a lot of.

140
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:41,600
Speaker 1: Big, sort of shorter stature guys suddenly on this team.

141
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 2: Where maybe last year than one.

142
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:46,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I don't I don't think the size

143
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 1: is really you know, the main factor. I think a

144
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 1: lot of it has to do with just their athleticism

145
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:54,839
Speaker 1: and ability to do what coach Casurreic wants them to do.

146
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 1: I feel like they all have great get off. They

147
00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:00,280
Speaker 1: all have great strength and explosiveness, and that's really all

148
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 1: you need, you know, besides just relentless effort in this defense.

149
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:06,280
Speaker 1: So you know, I feel like they're all they're all

150
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 1: really good players, you know, I think, Uh, I mean

151
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 1: I was. I was. I was with Collins in Dallas

152
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:14,680
Speaker 1: my rookie year, so it's kind of cool being reunited

153
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 1: with that guy. But you know, I think, I honestly

154
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 1: just what I've seen so far where we haven't really

155
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 1: lost a step at that position yet. I mean, he's

156
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 1: he's he's great. The fact that he's that big, but

157
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 1: he can move so quickly in such fast twitch I mean,

158
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 1: I feel like he's he's gonna be a great compliment

159
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:39,240
Speaker 1: to what uh heart, what what hard Graave can do?

160
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 3: So you go against gross mottos at all when he

161
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 3: lines up inside?

162
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 1: Not not too much of yet. Yeah, so I don't.

163
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 1: I don't know too too much about him.

164
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 2: Yet for uh first time pather on on Monday, whether

165
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 2: you're clear to do that or not. But what's that

166
00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 2: like for alignment to finally get him on after six

167
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 2: months off?

168
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 1: Honestly you would you would You would think that like

169
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 1: a football player would want, you know, less pads and

170
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 1: less impacts. But pads to us as offensive linemen, it

171
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 1: it gives us a steering wheel. It gives them so

172
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 1: uh stuff to hang on to makes our jobs easier,

173
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 1: you know. And and I'm not I'm not saying we

174
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 1: hold on every on every single play, but stuff is

175
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 1: definitely happening. So uh, you know, just being able to

176
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 1: uh you know, go full s full speed and get

177
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 1: actual full speed reps will be good. What did what advice?

178
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 3: If you give them Trent on his contract hold off?

179
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 1: I don't know if he should be taking it from me,

180
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:38,440
Speaker 1: but you know, I think he's a great player. We

181
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:40,959
Speaker 1: obviously want him here, and you know, I just hope

182
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 1: they can work something out.

183
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:45,560
Speaker 2: Oh good, guys, thank you,
