1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:00,240 Speaker 1: Uh. 2 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,800 Speaker 2: I thought it was another good day of practicing pads 3 00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:07,320 Speaker 2: col orchestrated practice to day where we had a lot 4 00:00:07,320 --> 00:00:10,160 Speaker 2: of situational stuff, which I thought was great to try 5 00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:14,120 Speaker 2: to create some true simulations of uh of game like football. 6 00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:16,400 Speaker 2: So uh, I thought the guys did a good job 7 00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:20,120 Speaker 2: uh going through those scenarios and getting better today. 8 00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:22,000 Speaker 3: And with that, I take your questions. 9 00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:25,280 Speaker 4: Guys, UH seem to be blitzing a lot out there. 10 00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:27,600 Speaker 4: You are you pretty happy with the way you guys 11 00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:30,400 Speaker 4: are timing that up? Is it meeting your specifications? 12 00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:32,200 Speaker 3: Oh? I don't. I don't. 13 00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:34,839 Speaker 2: I don't think we blitzing that much. Do you think 14 00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:38,400 Speaker 2: we blitzing a lot more than we've seen in the past. Well, 15 00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:41,080 Speaker 2: I I think, Uh, the timing has been great at times. 16 00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:43,760 Speaker 2: You know, sometimes we're giving it up a little too 17 00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:46,640 Speaker 2: little too early, but uh, again it's practice. We're working 18 00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:49,400 Speaker 2: through the kinks. But uh, most importantly, I like just 19 00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:53,239 Speaker 2: the effort, the way these guys are flying around, uh 20 00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:56,400 Speaker 2: getting to the football, and our focus is always on 21 00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:59,000 Speaker 2: the fundamentals and technique. So uh, those are the things 22 00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:00,960 Speaker 2: that I'm seeing that I'm really in pressed about right now. 23 00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:04,880 Speaker 4: You mentioned a few times to the work that Javon 24 00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:05,679 Speaker 4: has put in. 25 00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:07,240 Speaker 3: Uhs even since you've been here. 26 00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:08,840 Speaker 5: When when you watch the tape last year and then 27 00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:10,960 Speaker 5: you watch him now, is he is he showing you 28 00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:12,880 Speaker 5: more things just in terms of like having a a 29 00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:16,080 Speaker 5: deeper tool box of moves and things that that maybe 30 00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:17,120 Speaker 5: he hasn't shown in the past. 31 00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:18,080 Speaker 2: Uh. 32 00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:21,800 Speaker 3: I I think he's fresh. I think he's healthy. Uh. 33 00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:25,400 Speaker 2: You seeing a lot of explosion off the line. Uh, 34 00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:29,000 Speaker 2: violent hands and really he's playing with a lot of 35 00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:30,040 Speaker 2: confidence right now. 36 00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:30,480 Speaker 3: You know. 37 00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:32,960 Speaker 2: I love when I see him when the play is 38 00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,320 Speaker 2: down the field and he turns and runs about you know, 39 00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:37,960 Speaker 2: thirty forty five yards down the field. It's phenomenal just 40 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,240 Speaker 2: to see a man of that size move the way 41 00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:43,840 Speaker 2: he does. So I'm happy right now where he is 42 00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:47,120 Speaker 2: and hopefully can continue to progress. You work a lot 43 00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:49,200 Speaker 2: of one on ones with the DVS, but with Amverry 44 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:50,200 Speaker 2: Thomas specifically. 45 00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:52,800 Speaker 4: Was he someone that you identified when you first got here, 46 00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:55,880 Speaker 4: is maybe hadn't reached his potential and needed a little 47 00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:56,640 Speaker 4: bit of best struggle? 48 00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:57,320 Speaker 3: Uh? 49 00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:59,920 Speaker 2: I feel like y he def definitely has the potent 50 00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:05,360 Speaker 2: and it's not just so much one individual, but he 51 00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:08,720 Speaker 2: needs to progress and grow from last year. I think 52 00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:10,720 Speaker 2: he has the skill set and were just really trying 53 00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:13,880 Speaker 2: to hone that and just pull really the best out 54 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:17,160 Speaker 2: in him along with all the others. So my time, 55 00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:19,760 Speaker 2: particularly doing special teams, when I can grab one or 56 00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,040 Speaker 2: two guys just to work on the fundamentals and technique 57 00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:24,880 Speaker 2: is awesome. And then we have things that we orchestrate. 58 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,320 Speaker 2: Daniel Bullock and I doing an individual period that we 59 00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:31,640 Speaker 2: try to separate safeties in corners, so we're really trying 60 00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:33,880 Speaker 2: to hone in on the pacifics. 61 00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:36,320 Speaker 1: What are you seen in the area of takeaways a 62 00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:38,440 Speaker 1: few of the defenders, I said, you know what, do 63 00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:40,359 Speaker 1: a really good defense, You got to get the ball. 64 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:41,600 Speaker 3: And I think. 65 00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:43,880 Speaker 1: Gibson's had a couple interceptions during camp and there might 66 00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:46,080 Speaker 1: be two more, but there hasn't been a ton. But 67 00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,040 Speaker 1: guys aren't getting their hands on the ball. What are 68 00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:49,040 Speaker 1: you seeing in that area? 69 00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:53,600 Speaker 2: Well, I think number one, you can't really like stress 70 00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,480 Speaker 2: it to the point where if it's not happening now 71 00:02:56,600 --> 00:03:00,600 Speaker 2: we're close, it's gonna eventually show up. So Gibson got 72 00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:03,240 Speaker 2: one today which I thought was phenomenal. H. But we 73 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:05,720 Speaker 2: are close to the ball. H. It's something that we 74 00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:08,000 Speaker 2: emphasize and talk about in the meetings. We have takeaway 75 00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:11,360 Speaker 2: circuits those kind of things. But I eventually feel like 76 00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:13,720 Speaker 2: the turn takeaways are gonna come for sure. 77 00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:14,560 Speaker 3: A lot of. 78 00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:22,800 Speaker 1: Impression has been h DeShawn Jamison recy. 79 00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:26,080 Speaker 2: Very impressed, very impressed, and I think, uh, some of 80 00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:29,600 Speaker 2: the receivers were talking about him the other day. He 81 00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:32,360 Speaker 2: has definitely made strides from the spring and just came 82 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:35,200 Speaker 2: back and built on uh to his repertoire and just 83 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:38,160 Speaker 2: his toolbox. I think the one thing that he's doing 84 00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:41,280 Speaker 2: with his technique, he's standing more square in his back pedal, 85 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:43,240 Speaker 2: which is allowing him to be a to see and 86 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,800 Speaker 2: visualize more of the field route concepts, see the quarterback, 87 00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:48,640 Speaker 2: and he's doing a great job of breaking on the 88 00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:50,960 Speaker 2: ball is man and man technique. He's great at the 89 00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:53,240 Speaker 2: line of scrimmage, and he's doing a good job at 90 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:55,000 Speaker 2: the topping and the route the point of emphasis that 91 00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:56,480 Speaker 2: I talk about all the time, that's where we got 92 00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:56,880 Speaker 2: to win. 93 00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:58,680 Speaker 3: So you see him doing a lot of good things. 94 00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:03,080 Speaker 5: How does a guy javers Ward said, he he's watching 95 00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:06,000 Speaker 5: him because he's so patient at his back pedal and 96 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:07,560 Speaker 5: he's like learning from him. 97 00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:10,960 Speaker 4: Which was striking because Ward is quite. 98 00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:11,240 Speaker 1: Good and. 99 00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:14,960 Speaker 4: Since draft Urki, But I I mean. 100 00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:17,160 Speaker 2: Is that an area I Uh, I mean to cut 101 00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:19,480 Speaker 2: you off. I don't think it's so much about number one. 102 00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:22,719 Speaker 2: I'll say this, we can learn from anyone that's number one. 103 00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:24,720 Speaker 2: And then number two, I think is more of the 104 00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:28,159 Speaker 2: technique that they probably have played here in the past 105 00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:29,920 Speaker 2: that they weren't used to stay in square. 106 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:32,080 Speaker 3: So now he's seeing. 107 00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:33,800 Speaker 2: A guy that came out of college's probably taught that 108 00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:36,640 Speaker 2: And those are the things that I'm bringing and when 109 00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:37,919 Speaker 2: he does it, he does it well. 110 00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:39,640 Speaker 3: So those are the things that we're trying to get 111 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:40,120 Speaker 3: him to do. 112 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,479 Speaker 2: And I think right now the times that he's in there, 113 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:47,359 Speaker 2: you see him progression and getting better and talking about money. 114 00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:49,960 Speaker 4: See how does a player like Jameson who played a 115 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:53,320 Speaker 4: big conference get passed over uh in the draft? And 116 00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:55,680 Speaker 4: and were you instrumental in him and bringing him here? 117 00:04:56,960 --> 00:05:00,960 Speaker 2: First question? That happens every year, you know, Uh, A 118 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:04,200 Speaker 2: lot of guys bloom late. Uh, a lot of guys 119 00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:07,160 Speaker 2: come in. There's different things based off their system, how 120 00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:08,760 Speaker 2: they taught the technique and whatnot. 121 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:11,440 Speaker 3: Uh. And then I would say this, John and. 122 00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:14,719 Speaker 2: His staff does a tremendous job and identifying certain guys 123 00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:18,240 Speaker 2: down the line like Jamison and once we were able 124 00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:20,400 Speaker 2: to watch him on tape with the scouts brought to us. 125 00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:23,360 Speaker 3: We're very impressed and wanted to get 'em in roa. 126 00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:24,960 Speaker 4: Ch just one or another. You've had a couple of 127 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,839 Speaker 4: patient practices behind you. Guys. Where do you think the 128 00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,880 Speaker 4: chemistry is with you and your defensive players and getting 129 00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:32,920 Speaker 4: to know them and then getting to know you and 130 00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:33,720 Speaker 4: get comfortable with. 131 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:36,680 Speaker 3: Your coaching style. I think it's it's work in progress. 132 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:37,080 Speaker 1: Uh. 133 00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:39,680 Speaker 2: I think we're moving in the right direction and I 134 00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:41,760 Speaker 2: think Kyle does a great job of that. And once 135 00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:45,000 Speaker 2: again going back to how orchestrates practice, we we've done 136 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:48,200 Speaker 2: a lot of move the ball scenarios the last couple 137 00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:50,799 Speaker 2: of days. So these guys are getting a nice feel 138 00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:52,680 Speaker 2: for how I call the game, certain things that I 139 00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:56,599 Speaker 2: like in certain situations down the distance personnel. Uh, we 140 00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:58,919 Speaker 2: do a g great job of too many situations in 141 00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:01,400 Speaker 2: the evening so so uh, it's all have been a 142 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:04,039 Speaker 2: great learning experience for me but also for them so 143 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:05,920 Speaker 2: we can get to know one another. Uh. 144 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:07,120 Speaker 1: I've been here a couple of days. 145 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:11,000 Speaker 4: But other linebacker competition for the for the base linebacker 146 00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:14,039 Speaker 4: squat other than you know, dre and and Fred who's 147 00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:16,080 Speaker 4: standing out there? And and what are you looking for 148 00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:16,919 Speaker 4: from that position? 149 00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:21,560 Speaker 2: Consistency across the board, you know, it is the key 150 00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:24,680 Speaker 2: for us at all positions. It's a tight race. You know, 151 00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:29,359 Speaker 2: ob Berks is doing a tremendous job. Marcellino made a 152 00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:32,720 Speaker 2: great play, uh at the end of the game and 153 00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:36,120 Speaker 2: the practice rather and and then you also see uh 154 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:39,520 Speaker 2: Flan So uh. I like the mere fact that when 155 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:43,120 Speaker 2: when Fred and and Greenlaw take a day off, I 156 00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:46,360 Speaker 2: feel like we're not missing the beat. So that's definitely encouraging. 157 00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:48,800 Speaker 2: So I'm excited about the backups and now they performing. 158 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,159 Speaker 4: How are the rookies are the draft tacks? How are 159 00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:52,320 Speaker 4: they fitting equation? 160 00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:55,640 Speaker 2: Uh? I I think they making progress as well. When 161 00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:59,680 Speaker 2: uh it's talking about Jalen the other day. Uh, he's 162 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:01,960 Speaker 2: so athletic, and that's what we loved about him coming 163 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,880 Speaker 2: out of Purdue. You know, could run conc covering the slot. 164 00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 2: But he had a couple of plays the other day 165 00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:10,200 Speaker 2: that was phenomenal for just being physical coming downhill on 166 00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:13,119 Speaker 2: the offensive lineman, using his hands. So uh, that's always 167 00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:15,600 Speaker 2: encouraging because that's what we pride ourselves on being a 168 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:16,520 Speaker 2: physical defense. 169 00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:19,040 Speaker 1: So he been here in a couple of practices, but 170 00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:21,280 Speaker 1: he've been able to formulate any kind of thoughts on 171 00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:22,720 Speaker 1: how Taco Charlton's come in. 172 00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:25,520 Speaker 3: Well, i'll tell you this. 173 00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:28,960 Speaker 2: Taco came off the plane and it was just like 174 00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:31,320 Speaker 2: making him play after play after play the other day. 175 00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:34,200 Speaker 2: And Uh, I was very impressed with that because number one, 176 00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:36,640 Speaker 2: we needed the reps. But uh, he got in and 177 00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:38,360 Speaker 2: made it seem like he had been here for a week. 178 00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:42,200 Speaker 2: So uh, he's still running the defense. Uh, it's still Uh, 179 00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:44,160 Speaker 2: it's gonna take him some time. But when he's in there, 180 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:47,160 Speaker 2: he goes full speed, which I love. Uh And most important, 181 00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:49,880 Speaker 2: he's just continued trying to work on just the fundamentals 182 00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:51,280 Speaker 2: that we talk about at that position. 183 00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:55,280 Speaker 5: Michid Gibson having our interception to that was more like 184 00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:56,160 Speaker 5: the curl flat area. 185 00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:56,320 Speaker 3: Hoo. 186 00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:58,520 Speaker 5: Farnger had another play where he got his hands on 187 00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:00,080 Speaker 5: the ball, but that was from the single hogs. So 188 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:02,960 Speaker 5: how important is it for your safeties to be interchangeable 189 00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:04,640 Speaker 5: in your defensive How do you feel about their. 190 00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:05,880 Speaker 3: Versatility so far? Uh? 191 00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:07,840 Speaker 2: I think it's very important based off what you just 192 00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:11,400 Speaker 2: described because It could be any situation where Huff is down, 193 00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:15,120 Speaker 2: Gibson is back and vice versa. Those guys do a 194 00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:18,320 Speaker 2: great job uh of of really uh when they are 195 00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:20,880 Speaker 2: deep in the posts, particularly Huff making plays on the ball. Now, 196 00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:23,440 Speaker 2: he gotta finish that one today, uh. And I told 197 00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:25,400 Speaker 2: him that on the sideline. I don't think he had 198 00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:28,400 Speaker 2: to jump, but he's shown that range through our training 199 00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:30,480 Speaker 2: camp and we just gotta come up with those big plays. 200 00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:32,199 Speaker 4: That's the competition going on. 201 00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:34,720 Speaker 5: The other side with Drake Jackson Clivin Barrel who will 202 00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:36,600 Speaker 5: play opposite of Nick Gosa. 203 00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:37,080 Speaker 2: Uh. 204 00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:39,920 Speaker 3: I think that's exactly what it is. Its competition is tight. 205 00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:42,240 Speaker 2: And I would say this really for the whole group, 206 00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:44,600 Speaker 2: and I mentioned this with the staff last night. We're 207 00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:47,800 Speaker 2: really not gonna see u separation or a change until 208 00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:50,280 Speaker 2: we go against someone else. So I'm excited about, you 209 00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:52,200 Speaker 2: know here in the in a week, I believe it 210 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:53,920 Speaker 2: is that we go up to uh Vegas and play 211 00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:56,240 Speaker 2: the Raiders, so we'll see exactly where we are at 212 00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:59,240 Speaker 2: that point and hopefully guys can separate themselves. 213 00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:00,680 Speaker 3: Thank you.
