1 00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:05,760 Speaker 1: So now that the preseason is over, how many more reps? 2 00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:07,640 Speaker 1: How much more oil in the engine do you think 3 00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:09,560 Speaker 1: this team needs before you guys will be ready for 4 00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:11,000 Speaker 1: opening day against Minnesota. 5 00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:14,760 Speaker 2: It's pretty much just fine tuning, you know, it's not 6 00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:16,720 Speaker 2: really about today. It's product. I think it's more about 7 00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:18,880 Speaker 2: the attention that you put into the day, you know. 8 00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:21,120 Speaker 2: So I think today was a great day. We got 9 00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:25,040 Speaker 2: after it. It was hot, mentally challenging, got a lot 10 00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:28,560 Speaker 2: of things thrown at us, so I think it was, uh, 11 00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:31,200 Speaker 2: it was pretty taxing mentally and physically, So that was 12 00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:31,680 Speaker 2: a good day. 13 00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:34,560 Speaker 1: Now, of course, when the roster gets trimmed, that means 14 00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:36,360 Speaker 1: all of you guys who are gonna be here get 15 00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:39,080 Speaker 1: more reps because they don't have to necessarily break them 16 00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:41,440 Speaker 1: up to all the other guys. It's still a sad 17 00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:44,279 Speaker 1: day anytime you lose teammates, But how important is that 18 00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:46,040 Speaker 1: and how much do you have to take advantage of 19 00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:50,680 Speaker 1: that now that you're getting more reps? 20 00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:53,159 Speaker 2: Same thing, Like, it just comes down to fine tuning it, 21 00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:55,320 Speaker 2: you know. Like the reps, like I said, can be 22 00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:58,480 Speaker 2: physically taxing. But I think the main thing of today 23 00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:01,600 Speaker 2: was the game. Ain't playing and the attention to detail 24 00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:02,480 Speaker 2: that they're thrown at us. 25 00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:06,120 Speaker 1: From what you've seen of Shane Bowen's defense, do you 26 00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:09,120 Speaker 1: think that this starting defense has a good grasp on 27 00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:11,319 Speaker 1: what needs to be done? You're talking about fine tuning. 28 00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:13,280 Speaker 1: That says to me you pretty much think you guys 29 00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:14,240 Speaker 1: have it down already. 30 00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:17,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean we were five weeks of 31 00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:20,000 Speaker 2: training camp. It is a new defense and we all 32 00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:22,039 Speaker 2: you know, are working together to you know, buy in. 33 00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:25,240 Speaker 2: But at the same time, like we're what how many 34 00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:28,720 Speaker 2: days out we ca Yeah, so this this is the 35 00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:32,160 Speaker 2: perfect time to fine tune those the things we already 36 00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:33,520 Speaker 2: learned and taking into week one. 37 00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:36,240 Speaker 1: What are you most curious about with this defense? What 38 00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:38,120 Speaker 1: can't you wait to see when you get on the 39 00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:39,200 Speaker 1: field against the Vikings? 40 00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:42,640 Speaker 2: Uh, just can't wait to see it at full strength. 41 00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:46,000 Speaker 2: You know, there's been times where we've been missing, like 42 00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:48,400 Speaker 2: certain pieces to the starting defense. So it's been a 43 00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:51,400 Speaker 2: while since we've seen it as a whole, you know 44 00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:53,440 Speaker 2: what I mean, Because there's always maybe one guy out 45 00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:55,680 Speaker 2: for a while and then another guy out or what 46 00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:58,000 Speaker 2: the case may be. But we've won, I think everybody 47 00:01:58,000 --> 00:01:59,640 Speaker 2: should be back. I'm not I'm not too sure but 48 00:01:59,680 --> 00:01:59,880 Speaker 2: I hope. 49 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:02,600 Speaker 1: Okay, while you fine tune things, when do you actually 50 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,160 Speaker 1: sit down and start looking at Viking's tape and actually 51 00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:06,800 Speaker 1: prepare for that specific opponent. 52 00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:09,760 Speaker 2: Oh, I say, probably a little bit later this week, 53 00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:12,440 Speaker 2: you know, just to get a jump on it, like 54 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:16,400 Speaker 2: it's not gonna be too much of I say, any 55 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:18,680 Speaker 2: specifics as far as like the film itself, but just 56 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:19,960 Speaker 2: getting a feel of the offense.
