10
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 2: a nice practice against those guys and then play the

11
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:33,680
Speaker 2: game and then we'll be playing for real.

12
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:36,680
Speaker 3: So we're ready to go and we'll see where it

14
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:43,360
Speaker 4: How have you seen is the government is a.

15
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:46,239
Speaker 2: Blocker down He called a lot of balls today and

16
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:48,600
Speaker 2: I know he's a big target obviously as a pass catcher,

17
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:50,080
Speaker 2: but as a blocker that's kind of what he's been

18
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:53,240
Speaker 2: focusing on. And he's developed quite nicely. I mean, you

19
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 2: see him in the games. He's he's more physical than

20
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:58,240
Speaker 2: he's ever been. Uh, he's uh, and we're gonna find

21
00:00:58,280 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 2: out because he's gonna be out there blocking.

22
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 3: And I really have a lot of confidence in him.

23
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:06,039
Speaker 3: I think he's going to do really well, David, job

24
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 3: of getting you know, that actional on Saturday.

25
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 5: Would you go back and watch what did you see

26
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:10,760
Speaker 5: from him?

27
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:12,920
Speaker 6: And it kind of what were you expecting versually what

28
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:13,320
Speaker 6: you saw?

29
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I kind of I would say, first

30
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 2: of all, I thought it was really good. I mean

31
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:18,759
Speaker 2: I thought he was physical to a degree I maybe

32
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:21,400
Speaker 2: didn't I was hoping for I can I expect him

33
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 2: to play like that, but to see it out there

34
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 2: the very first game was really neat because he wasn't

35
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:28,320
Speaker 2: tentative at all. He was really he's in a good mindset.

36
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 2: He was in a you a, you know, a game

37
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 2: day mindset, and he hadn't played that much in the

38
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:34,840
Speaker 2: last couple of years. So that was quite a statement

39
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 2: I think from him that way. Really, the way he's

40
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,320
Speaker 2: been practicing is the way he played. So that's what

41
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:40,479
Speaker 2: you want to see down.

42
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:43,480
Speaker 7: Did you Philip heed to sort of reach out to

43
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 7: extra and help him sort of keep his spirits up

44
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 7: after he suffers another major injury.

45
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 3: Did in two years David last year?

46
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 6: Yeah?

47
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 3: David?

48
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 2: Uh, Well, heck, yeah, I mean we we've had I

49
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 2: can't tell you the conversations that David and I have

50
00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 2: had that are just awesome conversations a lot about a

51
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 2: lot of things. He's very smart. He's a very deep thinker,

52
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 2: kind of a philosopher, you know, he really is. And

53
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:08,399
Speaker 2: I learned a lot talking to him. And he's kept

54
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:10,640
Speaker 2: his head on straight, he keeps things of perspective. He's

55
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:14,839
Speaker 2: got a really strong family, and yeah, he I don't

56
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 2: know that I really had to say anything other than

57
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 2: the fact that this kind of conversation is good sometime.

58
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 2: But he's been in a good place, you know. I

59
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 2: think he gets down because he wants to get out

60
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 2: there and contribute and he wants to be a part

61
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 2: of it. But he's excited to get going.

62
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 8: John, do you feel you've made the necessary strides or

63
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:34,640
Speaker 8: of hopeful strides that you've wanted from the getting of

64
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:36,239
Speaker 8: training camp to where you're at right now?

65
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 3: I do, you know?

66
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:39,520
Speaker 2: I think I do believe that we're in a good

67
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 2: place right now. But this is a moving target, you know.

68
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 2: It's it's always evolving type of a deal. It's like life.

69
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:49,639
Speaker 2: You never know what's going to come next, and we'll

70
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 2: just have to respond as we go. But I do

71
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 2: believe we're about as good as place as we can

72
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 2: be in right now. For where we're at, the guys

73
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 2: have done everything they can possibly do to be as

74
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:00,639
Speaker 2: far along as they can be, So I feel great

75
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 2: about that as a coach.

76
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 3: It's good.

77
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:05,679
Speaker 4: A few days now with George Warhop, what have you

78
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:07,640
Speaker 4: seen about the way that he's working with the guys

79
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 4: that are just sometimes fresh eyes on the players offer

80
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:12,519
Speaker 4: a different perspective than the age.

81
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 2: Sure, I mean, you know, George is George is a

82
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 2: is a very experienced coach. You know, he and Joe

83
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 2: go back a long way too. I think he's picked

84
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:22,640
Speaker 2: right up. But to make it seamless, you have to

85
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 2: be really good. To step into a.

86
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 3: Role like this at this time is really hard.

87
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:31,240
Speaker 2: So you've got to be a high, high level coach,

88
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 2: I think to be able to do that. And that's

89
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 2: why George Warhop was such a just such an opportunity

90
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 2: for us, such a blessing that that was available. I mean,

91
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 2: I do believe it's a god thing, I really do.

92
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 2: So it's going really well. The guys that were at

93
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 2: responding really well to him. I think he understands exactly

94
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 2: what we're trying to get done. I know he does.

95
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 2: And h and he's doing a great job. And then

96
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 2: our prayers and thoughts were still with Joe D. I mean,

97
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 2: Joe D is making good progress from what I understand

98
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 2: talking to his daughters, texting his daughters, but on the

99
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 2: on the phone and the information that they're sharing is

100
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 2: they're very encouraged by his progress. He's still got some

101
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 2: work to do, but he's he's he's a fire man.

102
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 2: There's nobody tougher than Joe Dean and things are looking

103
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 2: good right now.

104
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 9: I think your first year in Baltimore's had prschaganda as

105
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 9: a second year guy be Grub, the second year guy

106
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:22,600
Speaker 9: Jason Brown stepping in as a rookie at center. Either

107
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:24,840
Speaker 9: from that experience or just over your years, what have

108
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,360
Speaker 9: you kind of learned about what it takes to kind

109
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:29,359
Speaker 9: of keep an even keel but also assureing some of

110
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:31,279
Speaker 9: that development from you on mom at the lines.

111
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 2: Well, it's such a great point and you look back

112
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 2: and it's kind of the nature of what we do.

113
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 2: You know, it's nice to have be nice to have

114
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,479
Speaker 2: twenty two starters out there that you you just they'd

115
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 2: been playing and they were all great players, and you

116
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 2: knew how they were going to play. And they were

117
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 2: kind of self sufficient, improving guys. But that's never the case, right.

118
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 3: Uh.

119
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 2: I'm excited about these guys, and the exciting thing about

120
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:54,240
Speaker 2: that kind of a situation is that the upside is

121
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 2: something that's kind of you kind of lean into from

122
00:04:57,920 --> 00:04:59,919
Speaker 2: an optimistic point of view. You say, what can the

123
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 2: these guys be?

124
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 6: Why?

125
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:03,279
Speaker 3: Why not be great? You know?

126
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:05,360
Speaker 2: And that's kind of how I'm looking at these guys

127
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 2: right now. I can't wait to see what they develop into.

128
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 2: But you know, it's it's not going to be I

129
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 2: understand why the concern, you know, I get the questions.

130
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 2: We're all gonna find out real soon and it will

131
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:17,840
Speaker 2: be an ongoing I think as we go in the season,

132
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:19,279
Speaker 2: they're going to continue to get better and better.

133
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 3: For sure.

134
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 5: Make care you okay we can see the name there.

135
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:23,600
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, they are.

136
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 6: John.

137
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 10: I know you've been really high on Zach since you've

138
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 10: elevated him over the course of these two preseason games.

139
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:33,480
Speaker 10: Is there anything that you've kind of learned as he's

140
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 10: taken on the new responsibility to play calling, anything about

141
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:37,160
Speaker 10: his management style that struck you?

142
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:38,160
Speaker 4: Yeah?

143
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 11: I might.

144
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:40,799
Speaker 2: I guess the thing I learned is Zach's not afraid

145
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 2: to be who he is. You know, he's been He's

146
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,600
Speaker 2: just been Zach, He's been who he is. He's genuine,

147
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 2: He's not trying to be something that he's not personality wise.

148
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 2: I think that's what endears him to the guys so much.

149
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 2: Very smart, very aware. Like as we were talking throughout

150
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,039
Speaker 2: the game, I mean you had mentioned about the boots

151
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 2: and some of the run fits and things like that.

152
00:05:58,680 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 2: You know, when I'd ask him, I say, what do

153
00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:01,360
Speaker 2: you see in there? He always he had he was

154
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:03,360
Speaker 2: on it. You know, he knew exactly what was going

155
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 2: on and where the where the mistakes, and where the

156
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 2: good things were. Uh So that was that was great.

157
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 2: I didn't I wasn't surprised by that, just as you expected.

158
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 2: But he's he's really on top of it.

159
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 8: Have you seen out of Daniel fall Falle at right

160
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 8: guard that gives you confidence in the strides that he's

161
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 8: taken and maybe what what are you looking for in

162
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 8: his game specifically in this third preseason game.

163
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I mean I think he's done a really

164
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:30,600
Speaker 2: good job in terms of past protection. You know, he's

165
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 2: he's been in front of his guy. There's a lot

166
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:35,599
Speaker 2: of technique things his his room for improvement is really

167
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:39,720
Speaker 2: vast because he's so talented and he's naturally able to

168
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 2: do so many good things. And then I think when

169
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:44,719
Speaker 2: he takes the next step in terms of like just

170
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 2: almost an.

171
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 3: Urgency in the movement.

172
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:49,160
Speaker 2: With that comes with confidence, you're going to see a

173
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 2: more physical player because the physicality is there. You know,

174
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 2: he's big, and he can move and he can bend.

175
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 2: He's a powerful man and he wants to be good.

176
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:01,040
Speaker 2: So I think the upside is pretty immense.

177
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:04,040
Speaker 12: John, you guys have a joint practice with the Packers

178
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 12: off Thursday, and you've pretty much been doing on a

179
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:09,279
Speaker 12: yearly for a little bit. Now, what's the biggest benefit

180
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 12: in seeing feet practice.

181
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 2: Well, you know, you have a chance to go against

182
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 2: a different style, like, for instance, their offensive line is

183
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 2: an upfield penetrating kind of an offensive a defensive line,

184
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 2: their defensive line is an upfield penetrating type of affront.

185
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 2: They're gonna be hitting gaps and getting up field. We

186
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 2: haven't seen that really in two preseason games or in practice,

187
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 2: but we are gonna see it in the games.

188
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 3: The Cowboys are gonna do it, for.

189
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 2: Instance, So that's something that we need to get ready

190
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:36,280
Speaker 2: for so, here's an opportunity to see some a different style.

191
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 3: That we haven't seen before.

192
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 2: Plus just the level of intensity getting guys locked in

193
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 2: and focused after at the end of a long camp.

194
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 2: There's a benefit in that.

195
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:44,680
Speaker 6: Was it a.

196
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 9: Conscious choice by you and we've lert to just do

197
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 9: the one.

198
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 6: Day instead of two?

199
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 3: It was? It was, uh yeah.

200
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 2: The league's starting to encourage that a little bit too.

201
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 2: You know, it seems like, well I think I think

202
00:07:57,680 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 2: I think you're talking about you know, some competitive human

203
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 2: you know, and and everybody.

204
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 3: Wants to win all the time.

205
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 2: So that practice, you know, intensity gets to a level

206
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 2: sometimes where on the second day where it's not as

207
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 2: productive as it is on the first day.

208
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 6: All right, John, you said that pre Sara's game, that

209
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 6: Adisa you recheck him for a couple of days or whatever.

210
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:18,720
Speaker 6: Is that anything here?

211
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, he's got a soft tissue issue again. You know,

212
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 2: it's the other leg, but uh it's not it's not

213
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 2: like it was before. It's not the one that's gonna

214
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 2: keep him out like it was before. So he's just

215
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 2: got to keep working through this. I mean a Lisa,

216
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:35,960
Speaker 2: you saw how well he played, right, So it's just

217
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:38,080
Speaker 2: a matter of him working into football shape. I think

218
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:41,080
Speaker 2: it's just that you think the guy's gonna come out

219
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 2: and all of a sudden he's healthy, and it's like boom,

220
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 2: he's gonna be one hundred percent. But there's all those

221
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:48,440
Speaker 2: practices callous these guys. They get these guys to the point

222
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 2: where they can handle the volume, they can handle the load,

223
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:53,679
Speaker 2: they can handle the reps, the high level intensity reps,

224
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 2: rep after rep.

225
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:55,840
Speaker 3: So he's gonna work into that.

226
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 2: We call it football shape, right, He'll have to work

227
00:08:58,400 --> 00:08:59,720
Speaker 2: into that, and I'm sure he will.

228
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:10,679
Speaker 1: We also heard from veteran running back Derrick Henry, what.

229
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:11,720
Speaker 10: What kind of comfort level do you have in this

230
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:14,440
Speaker 10: offense but also with your new teammates have been getting

231
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:16,240
Speaker 10: out of the last few months, but.

232
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:21,840
Speaker 11: You don't comfortable? Now, Yeah, I'm right at home. Training

233
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:24,920
Speaker 11: camp was was good and we got a lot better.

234
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:28,200
Speaker 11: Still getting better, but yeah, uncomfortable and right at home.

235
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 7: Did you want to have any or maybe in this

236
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:34,080
Speaker 7: in this practice where the backers are in one of

237
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 7: these games, do you feel like a couple of hits

238
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:38,679
Speaker 7: just to get ready for the season. You're like, no,

239
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:40,319
Speaker 7: I'm good, I don't I've done that for ten years.

240
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 3: I don't need it.

241
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:43,960
Speaker 6: Are you saying like a real content like playing any game?

242
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 7: Yeah, like the practice or might be some real contact.

243
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm sure real scrimmage against those guys.

244
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 11: Get some good contact in as far as going against

245
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 11: her defense and as far as the game. And I

246
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:57,680
Speaker 11: haven't played a preseason game. I thinks it's twenty eighteen,

247
00:09:57,800 --> 00:09:59,080
Speaker 11: so I mean, I think it's.

248
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 6: Worked out pretty well. Feel pretty good about it.

249
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 13: Derek, regarding those joint practices or practice, how do you

250
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 13: approach that? I mean, do you look forward to I

251
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 13: mean just one day that you're gonna go against the opposition.

252
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 6: Do you look forward to that?

253
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:14,439
Speaker 13: What are you trying to get out of it?

254
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 6: But I think it's fun.

255
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:18,480
Speaker 11: I mean we've been going against one another for about

256
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:21,320
Speaker 11: a about a month now, so we'll getst another jersey,

257
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 11: you get the practic against another another team, see some

258
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:28,840
Speaker 11: different looks, and you know, uh, kind of give us

259
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 11: a good look to see how how far we are,

260
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 11: and then things work on as an offense going against

261
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:36,920
Speaker 11: a different team. So it's fun and it's some good work.

262
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 13: So, Derek, in terms of the mesh point with Lamar

263
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:42,840
Speaker 13: and some of the Reid options and the leaders are

264
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 13: running in the past years. How fast out do you think.

265
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 3: You guys would be in terms of handling that.

266
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 5: We haven't really seen it so far.

267
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:51,840
Speaker 11: I mean when we work on it out here and

268
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 11: if there's anything we need to talk about amongst each other, but.

269
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:57,080
Speaker 6: We do that and yeah.

270
00:10:57,160 --> 00:10:59,839
Speaker 11: So yeah, just just going through and out here running

271
00:10:59,880 --> 00:11:04,239
Speaker 11: the place and uh, getting the feel for it and executing.

272
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:06,400
Speaker 6: So that's the big thing. It's making it work.

273
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 4: So does it feel you just in practice when you

274
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:11,040
Speaker 4: running behind?

275
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:14,079
Speaker 11: Oh, I mean that's something I look I look forward too.

276
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:17,160
Speaker 11: So anytime for tuos in front of them, I'm comfortable.

277
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 6: So I'm good. Gotta make it, gotta make some happen.

278

Speaker 6: Some of these community events.

295
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 10: Does it get your feeling for how excited the community

296
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:06,720
Speaker 10: in Baltimore is to see your debut as.

297
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:07,839

Speaker 11: They love their football, so I love that, So I'm

299
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:12,080
Speaker 11: excited to see their excitement.

300
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:13,120
Speaker 6: For sure.

301
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:16,240
Speaker 8: You feel that you're more frequently playing out of pistol

302
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 8: or shotgun formations than you had the nearest prior, And

303
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:22,679
Speaker 8: is there nuances to that that you can describe as

304
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:25,840
Speaker 8: challenging to learn or what is kind of feeling?

305
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:27,079
Speaker 6: No, not at all.

306
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:29,839
Speaker 11: I mean I ran we ran pistol before, and I

307
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:32,440
Speaker 11: was in Tennessee and ran out a shotgun. My biggest

308
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 11: thing is doing my job and do my job effectively

309
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 11: and being efficient.

310
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 4: Is there any part of you that's kind of itching

311
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 4: at this point to see what it looks like in

312
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:43,560
Speaker 4: a real game with a new team, you know, do

313
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 4: you do you have a good idea of what that's

314

318
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:56,720
Speaker 6: But it's all about polishing.

319
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 11: And getting everything down and continue to continue to get

320
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:03,199
Speaker 11: better until that time comes. But I'm sure everybody's out

00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:04,760
Speaker 11: here itching to to get the week one.

322

Speaker 4: You're not out here stick farming your teammates.

324
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:08,680
Speaker 6: Nah. I don't do that. Nah.

325
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:10,400
Speaker 12: Nah you practice your stick farmer?

326
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:11,800
Speaker 4: Is that just completely natural? So?

327
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think it comes natural.

328
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 11: I've been doing since I started playing ball, and it's

329
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 11: got more effective. Uh the h the higher I went,

330
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:22,720
Speaker 11: the more I've uh elevated my game is from high school,

331
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:23,839
Speaker 11: college to pro.

332
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:25,679
Speaker 6: So I think it's something that that comes natural. But

333
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:27,320
Speaker 6: I wouldn't do it to my teammates.

334
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:32,000
Speaker 11: Now, Nah, not at all. No, we have some good

335
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:34,120
Speaker 11: battles through the years, so I think that's done.

336
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:34,560
Speaker 8: To know with.

337
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:36,440
Speaker 5: Derek.

338
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:39,560
Speaker 9: Have the coaches told you guys that they expect you

339
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:41,800
Speaker 9: to write bikes to the practicing green day a parents?

340
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:43,559
Speaker 11: You know, they haven't told us about it, but I

341
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:46,920
Speaker 11: I mean I saw it uh on Instagram.

343
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 11: That's their Uh, that's their tradition. But if we have

344
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:54,679
Speaker 11: to think the kids are involved, So if it's a kid,

345
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 11: I don't care. I mean I love doing STFF like that,

346
00:13:56,679 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 11: especially with kids bikes. H I haven't in the why

347
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:02,720
Speaker 11: so I might be a little rested. Kid have to

348
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 11: help me stay balanced, But no I should I should

349

Speaker 3: Yeah.

381
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:23,640

382
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:26,880
Speaker 14: got rolled up on and uh at the Indie game

383
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:29,720

Speaker 14: knee and no one really knew what was going on.

385
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 5: So we just wanted to swelling to go down.

386
00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:37,600

00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:04,600
Speaker 14: a move to do on the sideline we execute, it

424
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:07,479
Speaker 14: ends up working, you know, so you know it's just

425

Speaker 8: you get news that more medically cleared? And is that

455
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:27,080
Speaker 8: part of the process initially?

Speaker 4: and have the surgery last year. How hard of a

465
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:51,399

466
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:51,880
Speaker 4: your year.

467
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:53,600

469
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:58,720
