1
00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:04,240
Speaker 1: I like how you feeling, man as uh, I feel

2
00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:07,520
Speaker 1: pretty good. Um. You know, it's been a good, good

3
00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:10,200
Speaker 1: training camp for us. Um, I think we're you know,

4
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:12,600
Speaker 1: on the right steps too. You know what we want

5
00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:14,400
Speaker 1: to be as a defense and as a team as

6
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:17,200
Speaker 1: a whole. So you know, it's got a few more

7
00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:19,480
Speaker 1: weeks left and training camp and then to the season

8
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:22,360
Speaker 1: and you know, hopefully we can finish strong and you know,

9
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:24,919
Speaker 1: start the season off well. Do you feel defense is

10
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:30,000
Speaker 1: coming along like you projected we are? And you know,

11
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:32,000
Speaker 1: like I said, you can't you can't just talk about

12
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:33,720
Speaker 1: you have to go out there and do it each

13
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:36,839
Speaker 1: and every day. And um, like I said, we've continued

14
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:38,880
Speaker 1: just to grow as a defense and just got better

15
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:41,960
Speaker 1: with our communication. And you know everybody's just coming to

16
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 1: get a real well so as your cat coming from,

17
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:49,960
Speaker 1: that's been good. We've been good, feeling better for sure.

18
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:53,560
Speaker 1: Still get out of the game the new number. I said,

19
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 1: you gotta get the new number out of the game.

20
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 1: Now that was out there. I was out there in

21
00:00:56,800 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 1: the first game with a new number. Um, And like

22
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 1: I says, when it when it counts them played Dallas,

23
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:06,679
Speaker 1: you know that would be the real test for sure.

24
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 1: So you'll be ready for that one. Yeah, but we

25
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:14,320
Speaker 1: want to. I don't know, it's up the coach. When

26
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:18,200
Speaker 1: Carlock got that interception return in fifties, really happy. I

27
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 1: was happy for him the number though, I mean, you

28
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:23,760
Speaker 1: had last it's part, it's part, it's part of the number,

29
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:26,680
Speaker 1: but it's also you got to take some skill and

30
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:28,480
Speaker 1: and he was able to tip the balls up to

31
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:30,760
Speaker 1: himself and you know, able to take it to the house.

32
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:32,120
Speaker 1: And you know we had a lot of swag with

33
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 1: when he did. No regrets, no regrets. I was, you know,

34
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:38,960
Speaker 1: extremely happy for him, glad he represented the number really

35
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:42,119
Speaker 1: well and you know, more power to him for sure.

36
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:47,199
Speaker 1: The first pieces. Would you notice about the two touchdown drives,

37
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 1: the first teafense say that again and watching the films

38
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 1: to touchdown drives the first defense, Um, what kind of

39
00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 1: it was? Just I think the first one we should

40
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 1: have got the field with a pick, but we didn't

41
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 1: get to pick and you kind of extended to drive there.

42
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 1: Then we missed some open field tackles and you know,

43
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,800
Speaker 1: guys kind of got a position. Um it could have

44
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 1: been first game jitters or whatever, but um, I mean

45
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 1: it's just I felt like we we communicated really well

46
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:21,679
Speaker 1: that the next few times we went out there. On

47
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:25,520
Speaker 1: the first drive of this past game, we don't give

48
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 1: up a touchdown. Dude, it's a field goal, right Yeah. So, um,

49
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 1: I mean we had a penalty that that that extended

50
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,079
Speaker 1: to drive on that, so you know you can't do that.

51
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 1: But in the overall, I thought they played well. I mean,

52
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:42,959
Speaker 1: we handled a sudden change real well. We turned the

53
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 1: ball on offense and defense went out there, got three

54
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 1: and now made them back up. They missed the field goals,

55
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 1: so you know, we made a lot of good straws

56
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 1: and you know, being able to go out there and

57
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:54,360
Speaker 1: continue to play, you know, even when something doesn't go

58
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 1: our way. I think we's been the preseason games that

59
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 1: you've watched with the practices, which of the defensive rookies

60
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:04,359
Speaker 1: do you believe it's furthest along and how much does

61
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 1: that surprise you? Um? I mean they all kind of

62
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 1: right around the same areas. Um. They I mean, obviously

63
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,520
Speaker 1: some guys get more reps, you know than others, Like

64
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:19,960
Speaker 1: Dexter has been running with the ones and stuff, and

65
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 1: you know, so you can see how he's grown and

66
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:24,919
Speaker 1: felt more comforting the defense, and then you also got

67
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 1: Corey and all those guys out they're making players on

68
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 1: the ball with ex getting sacks and stuff like that.

69
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:31,959
Speaker 1: So you know, they kind of all have their their

70
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 1: their moments where they where they shine, and you know,

71
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 1: we just hope to continue to see those guys growing improve,

72
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 1: you know what. So so far can uh he's he's

73
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 1: he's been well, he's done well, he's you know, I

74
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 1: felt like he's you know, got even smoother with his

75
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 1: routes and you know, getting open more and and you know,

76
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 1: catching the ball and making those plays and Camps saying,

77
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 1: you know, they have they have a good relationship for

78
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 1: the quarterback to tight end and you know it shows

79
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 1: you know what I don't saying about just blocking about

80
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 1: its blocking. Yeah, I mean, let me see, I haven't

81
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 1: really like just dived into it. But I mean some

82
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 1: of the runs that they get, I do see them,

83
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:18,280
Speaker 1: you know, actually trying really hard to get in there,

84
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:20,360
Speaker 1: and you know he's doing his job. And you know

85
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 1: that's what you want out of your tight end, out

86
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 1: of anybody, you know, for them to do their job

87
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 1: when you know they're called upon. So it's a preseason.

88
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:31,039
Speaker 1: Much of what the defense runs is pretty Phinale. How

89
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 1: much more when the regular season starts, can you show

90
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,719
Speaker 1: in the regular season starts, the playbook is pretty much

91
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:44,040
Speaker 1: wide open. You know, um, depending on your defensive coordinator

92
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:48,680
Speaker 1: and offensive coordinator. So I've been a part where you know,

93
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 1: basically what we ran in preseason is the same thing

94
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,719
Speaker 1: we run during the during the year. And you know,

95
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 1: you also have where you run certain stuff in the preseason,

96
00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:00,919
Speaker 1: then you know you may or ain't not running again

97
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:03,279
Speaker 1: the regular seas just depends on who you got and

98
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 1: you know the type of gods you have there, you

99
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:07,720
Speaker 1: know their ability, so you know it's it's just about

100
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:11,599
Speaker 1: winning your matchups and stuff. You know, the preseason, like

101
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 1: you said, most sides are pretty vanilla and what they

102
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 1: do and you know don't don't show a lot of

103
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 1: when the season opens up, that's you know, when you

104
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 1: get the full force. What would you say, we are

105
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 1: seeing what you guys do? M M. I mean I

106
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,279
Speaker 1: couldn't really put a number on it. I mean I said,

107
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:39,839
Speaker 1: we're not going out there and running out hold. They're

108
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:41,719
Speaker 1: not game playing against the team. So you know, you

109
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:44,919
Speaker 1: certain weeks, you have certain stuff that you do, and

110
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 1: you know that determines how much you put in this

111
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 1: week and how much you don't um, so you know

112
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 1: right now, like I said, we're pretty generic and what

113
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:54,599
Speaker 1: we do, you know, as far as you know, playing

114
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 1: out base coverages that you know we will use during

115
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 1: the season as well too some like what everybody from. Yeah,

116
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 1: I mean it's pretty much throughout the league. I want

117
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:04,839
Speaker 1: to see too high. You're gonna see you one high

118
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:06,839
Speaker 1: and that's going to be all you're gonna see you

119
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:11,480
Speaker 1: pretty much. Because guys have been either nicked up, arrested, veterans,

120
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 1: you haven't been able to really see your entire first

121
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 1: team defense intact for a bunch of preseason snaps. Is

122
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 1: that important at all? Well, I think we get great

123
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:25,359
Speaker 1: reps out here in practice, and you know, we we

124
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 1: take prode in and you know, making sure we're communicating

125
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:31,920
Speaker 1: well and you know, also communicating the classroom as well

126
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,720
Speaker 1: about certain stuff that we see. And you know, like

127
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 1: you said, it's it's about making into the season and

128
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 1: you know, being healthy as you can, you know, to

129
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:42,560
Speaker 1: sustaining it throughout the whole year because it's a long

130
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 1: season and you know, but it's it's also good to

131
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:48,279
Speaker 1: get those reps and you know, some some teams they

132
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 1: do it during you know, the preseason games, but you know,

133
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 1: something don't and you know, we were kind of in

134
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 1: between them that you know, we haven't had you know,

135
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:58,600
Speaker 1: everybody had done the field at the same time mostly.

136
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:01,719
Speaker 1: But you know, I just say, I think during practice

137
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 1: we get really good reps and you know we we

138
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 1: uh do our best. Where have you seen Simon is

139
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 1: to take the biggest step since he first got here?

140
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 1: And then what did you think of your throwing up

141
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 1: the X after a second? Yeah? Man, he's the X

142
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 1: man and um, you know he's he's made great strikes

143
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 1: for this defense and you know it's the reason why

144
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 1: you know, we drafted him. And you know he's able

145
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 1: to get to the quarterback. Like you said when we

146
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 1: got to the corter that he threw with his accent.

147
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 1: You know, hopefully we see a lot of that this year.

148
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 1: So we did I drop weight? Yeah, I look good,

149
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 1: Thank you. I've been working hard, man, I've been I have. Uh.

150
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 1: I kind of changed my daughter a little bit and

151
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 1: you know, just tried to you know, eat a lot

152
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 1: cleaner than than what I was used to doing, and

153
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 1: you know, but also still making sure getting the right

154
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 1: the right meals and you know, the right work done.

155
00:07:53,040 --> 00:08:01,680
Speaker 1: So mm hmm part of all ten pounds. Yeah in

156
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 1: percentage down problem what mm hmm from halfway too down?

157
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 1: Wanted after want? I mean this game is it's a

158
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 1: fast paced game. And you know the guys that they

159
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 1: bring in now you know everybody's you know, not your

160
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 1: two fifties, two forties, you know they're and to thirty

161
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 1: at the most. Really you know, playing linebacker, so you

162
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:33,679
Speaker 1: have to be able to you know, be able to

163
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:37,439
Speaker 1: move in and cover ground and the fast speed and

164
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 1: and you know, make play. So uh, you know, for me,

165
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:42,720
Speaker 1: it's still still doing the same thing. But you know,

166
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 1: so it's if you get lighter, you know, you just

167
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 1: tend to be you know a little bit faster than

168
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 1: what you are. So you know it's kind of my

169
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:54,600
Speaker 1: my thinking of the process behind that I feel faster. Yeah,

170
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 1: I mean I feel I feel like I can you know,

171
00:08:56,880 --> 00:09:00,520
Speaker 1: definitely still round. And you know it's just he said,

172
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 1: it's gotta do. You know what the coaches asked me

173
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 1: to do, and you know, the half of the game

174
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 1: is being able to run and just you know, chase

175
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 1: down tackles or you know, cover out in space and

176
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:15,679
Speaker 1: stuff like that. So coaching is just working in the heat.

177
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 1: How do you feel. I mean, it's it's tough, it's

178
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:26,280
Speaker 1: it's it's not easy, um, you know, but if you're

179
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 1: able to you have the right mindset to go out

180
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:30,320
Speaker 1: there and you know, make sure you get your work done,

181
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:32,880
Speaker 1: it can be an advantage for you because you don't

182
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:35,160
Speaker 1: let the elements you know, you know, affect you and

183
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:38,320
Speaker 1: what you what you do. And so you know, for us,

184
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 1: practice in the heat, it's definitely good. We're gonna have

185
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:42,440
Speaker 1: a couple of hot games here when we go to

186
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:45,240
Speaker 1: Tampa or something like that, and you know, it's probably

187
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 1: hotter down there than it is here, So you know,

188
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:49,360
Speaker 1: it kind of gives us a little bit of preparation

189
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 1: about being in the heat like that and you know,

190
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:52,320
Speaker 1: pushing through
