Speaker 3: Unbelievable day, right, Yeah, unbelievable day. What we got here

00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:13,680
Speaker 3: where you're at in your.

6
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:16,320
Speaker 2: Mind principally you go about your business here in camp.

7
00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:19,079
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think we're uh doing a good job of

8
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:23,160
Speaker 3: just trying to steady improve making those improvements every day. Uh,

9
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:24,799
Speaker 3: And that's what we're trying to aks the players to,

10
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:27,320
Speaker 3: you know, kind of be consistent to their approach to

11
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:29,800
Speaker 3: the game, you know, whether you know, whether we're talking

12
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:32,920
Speaker 3: about situational football where we're talking about early downs, third downs,

13
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:35,959
Speaker 3: and just trying to uh, you know, build our identity

14
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 3: of who we're gonna be this season.

15
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:41,640
Speaker 2: I'm gonna called the Christian now and just kind of

16
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:43,239
Speaker 2: the guys that are try to step.

17
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:44,960
Speaker 1: Up people to help. Yeah.

18
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 3: Uh, you know, obviously Christian is a big part of

19
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:50,600
Speaker 3: our defense and uh, you know, unfortunately that happened and

20
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:52,559
Speaker 3: we are uh I thought some prayers are with him

21
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:56,880
Speaker 3: and uh and just like any other you know, injury

22
00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 3: that we have in football, the next man up mentality

23
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 3: which is good for uh that room, which I would

24
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:04,480
Speaker 3: say we have the depth and the competition in that

25
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 3: room to you know, fill that void. And really it's

26
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 3: just up to them to continue to like prove that

27
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 3: on the field with their consistent play and who can

28
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 3: help us out because we need that. Just like last

29
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:18,400
Speaker 3: year we had injuries that happened and uh and t

30
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:19,840
Speaker 3: to our guys credit.

31
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 1: You know, we had good depth at each position.

32
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 2: The guy who really took in.

33
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 1: That's right. I mean that goes back to last year too.

34
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 3: He took advantage of every opportunity he had last year

35
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 3: and he's doing the same thing right now. So he's

36
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:37,960
Speaker 3: one of the guys that you know that needs to

37
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 3: help us out to fill that void.

38
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 1: For like Christian, are you able to say what training,

39
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 1: if anything, he's able to do. Na, I'll lead that

40
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 1: up to the medical staff.

41
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 2: That you got a Christian, you probably can't replace him,

42
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 2: Just like one on one us disappointed. You have to

43
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 2: get creative when it comes to sort of replacing his

44
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 2: role of production in terms of.

45
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 1: Giving like what do you do with the defensive line?

46
00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 3: I would say, you know, we're gonna do what we

47
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 3: do uh uh and uh, We're gonna put the players

48
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 3: in the best position, you know, with the players that

49
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 3: we have and then it depends on who we're playing

50
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:11,360
Speaker 3: for that week. So, uh, you tell me who we're playing,

51
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 3: and we're gonna do us best for our team, our

52
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:16,239
Speaker 3: defense to stop them to win the football game week.

53
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 1: Rod said the defense was ahead of the offense today.

54
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,640
Speaker 1: He was speaking kind of general terms, how much put out.

55
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 3: I would say that, shoot, every day, we need to

56
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:28,519
Speaker 3: come out and act like we have done nothing. So

57
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:32,360
Speaker 3: that's the kind of like the mindset. Uh, you know, workers' mentality,

58
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:35,839
Speaker 3: blue collar mentality where you know we have to earn

59
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 3: everything every day. So you know, what we did yesterday

60
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 3: in practice doesn't mean that we can come and have

61
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:42,800
Speaker 3: that mindset today in practice.

62
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 1: You know what we do today, we.

63
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 3: Can't have the same mindset when the Eagles coming here.

64
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 3: So that's what I would say to that, even after

65
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 3: every game, so it really doesn't matter. It's like a

66
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 3: start off of mentality.

67
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 1: Ever. Practice every day every week, every game tomorrow.

68
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 2: But looking ahead of that practice and then you what

69
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 2: do you expect to allow your defense players different?

70
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, looking for just to compete against another team one uh,

71
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 3: and then to see the guys against different matchups because'

72
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,679
Speaker 3: agatting we've been going against our team for the past

73
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 3: couple of weeks and to get another team to come

74
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 3: in here and practice against them and to see who's

75
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 3: able to do different things in the matchups. And you know,

76
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 3: I mean they have they have a well rounded team

77
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:30,520
Speaker 3: up front, running backs, uh, you know the quarterback position.

78
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 1: Same thing with the receivers.

79
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 3: So it'll be good for our guys to have that

80
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 3: level of competition to see who can like feel those

81
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 3: voys or can help contribute to our defense this season.

82
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 3: He's improving, he's improving as a you know, as a leader,

83
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 3: as a competitor on our team.

84
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 1: Uh.

85
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 3: Again, he's he's doing it on the field. And what's

86
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 3: that we needed to do. We need our good players

87
00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 3: to play, you know, be good and be good in

88
00:03:59,040 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 3: their roles.

89
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 1: Uh.

90
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 3: And really for all our other corners at that position

91
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 3: to match you know him, John Jones, you know those.

92
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 1: Guys you know play to the level of their competition.

93
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 2: Yes, Cause what would you say allows bigger guys like

94
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 2: Sean Wade as they bold and have success in the slide.

95
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 1: You see guys of John Artist. So first of all,

96
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:25,679
Speaker 1: when you're playing a slide, you have to be smart.

97
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:28,160
Speaker 3: So I say those guys are smart enough to do

98
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:32,839
Speaker 3: it to play multiple roles, star inside outside, Uh, communicate,

99
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 3: you know, even line up in the deep part of

100
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 3: the field, so you know that's the number one thing.

101
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 3: And then just their quickness on the inside to handle

102
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 3: the different matchups that's in there.

103
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:42,160
Speaker 1: Uh.

104
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 3: They bring that you know, skill set to us too,

105
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:46,720
Speaker 3: so which is good for depending on you know, who

106
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 3: we're playing.

107
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:48,920
Speaker 1: Uh, we can use their.

108
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:51,479
Speaker 3: Side to our advantage of whether it's a smaller receiver

109
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 3: or a bigger receiver who plays in the slots.

110
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:00,920
Speaker 1: Just how would you say that communication that's going out?

111
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 3: And I thought it was good and for me, like

112
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 3: just like the players, you know, they come out here

113
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 3: in practice, I do the same out here every day.

114
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 3: So we talk about making it harder in practice than

115
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:16,040
Speaker 3: what it is in the game, and that's exactly the truth.

116
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:17,119
Speaker 1: For me, it was like harder.

117
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 3: You know, it's harder in practice because you know, you

118
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:22,719
Speaker 3: don't have fifteen rent zone plays you know, in the game,

119
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 3: you don't have you know, fifteen third downs in a

120
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:25,839
Speaker 3: row in the game.

121
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:28,359
Speaker 1: So you know, when you go in the game, there's TV.

122
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:32,039
Speaker 3: Timeouts, there's time, you know, there's less there's more time

123
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 3: to uh, you know call plays in the game than

124
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 3: it is out of practice. And so I thought the

125
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 3: execution as far as me calling in to the signal callers,

126
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 3: them handling communication on the field, and then the coaches

127
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:46,600
Speaker 3: relaying that to the sideline to our players and game

128
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:55,600
Speaker 3: game management stuff, all that worked out well. Marco, you know,

129
00:05:55,800 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 3: Marco is steady making improvements every day. And so for us,

130
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:04,600
Speaker 3: it's guys like that that we need to you know,

131
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:07,480
Speaker 3: come up for us. You know, we need Marco to

132
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 3: perform well for us. And he's another guy along. I

133
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:14,559
Speaker 3: know he asked about Sean and you know, he's another

134
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 3: guy that can play with you know, a little length too,

135
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:20,040
Speaker 3: you know, to match up to different receivers and use

136
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 3: his different techniques, you know, whether it's press or off man.

137
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 3: But I'm willing to see. I'm ready to see what

138
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 3: he does, you know, tomorrow, even this, you know, Thursday.

139
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 3: He's been doing a good job so far. And I'll

140
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:35,600
Speaker 3: give credit to even Alex Austin he'snt done a good

141
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:36,360
Speaker 3: job for us too.

142
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 1: So both of those guys are working hand in hand

143
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 1: and competing or.

144
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 3: Something to get out of the players or what do

145
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:43,360
Speaker 3: you hope the players.

146
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 1: Get out of Small with the story office. So hopefully

147
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:48,359
Speaker 1: we come out and dominate.

148
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 3: That's what we're looking for, you know, I mean, being

149
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 3: completely honest, that's what we're trying to do. Go out

150
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:56,039
Speaker 3: and dominate. We're trying to compete at a high level.

151
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 3: We're trying to execute work on our fundamentals and technique

152
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 3: most importantly, and then we're trying to make sure that

153
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 3: we again, you're going against another team, So hopefully we

154
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 3: jail together as a team offensive defense and special teams

155
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 3: and work together in one day on that Tuesday against Eagles.

156
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 1: Deceummer. But in anybody's contract situation.

157
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:21,680
Speaker 3: But how have you see the fat fits He's been

158
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 3: the same for us. He's been the same for us

159
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 3: to always stay out of all those conversations, and for

160
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 3: for us in the defensive staff, he's been Judo, he's

161
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 3: been Matt Judon. He's been great in the classroom. He's

162
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 3: been great for us on the practice field. And I

163
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 3: look at it like this, like we all have bad days,

164
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 3: right we all? I mean, if I ask any of

165
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:42,680
Speaker 3: you guys, all you guys will raise y'all hand to

166
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 3: have a bad day. And now, unfortunately for him, his

167
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 3: bad day will be on camera. You know what, I

168
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 3: mean just like our bad days will be behind doors.

169
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 3: So you know, he had a bad day and then

170
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 3: that was it and everybody really got to see it.

171
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 3: And then other than that, the guy's been who he's

172
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 3: been as we signed them, you know, a couple of

173
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 3: years ago. So I had nothing but you know, respect

174
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 3: and love for for Julyn and then what he can

175
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 3: do and we'll do for this team.

176
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 2: The roster that you brought back, a lot of player

177
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 2: faces similar system. Where do you see the need for

178
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 2: this defense to evolve? Obviously changes made, but specifically.

179
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 1: This year to be can't be relative.

180
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think we're still in the phase of like

181
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:31,240
Speaker 3: figuring out who we're gonna be, Like I talked about that,

182
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 3: like our identity. So we're in that phase of trying

183
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 3: to figure out, like, all right, how can we use

184
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:38,720
Speaker 3: the players to you know, put them in the best position.

185
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:41,080
Speaker 3: You know, who are we going to be as a defense,

186
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:44,199
Speaker 3: what's gonna be our mentality? And then how can we

187
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 3: help this football team win games? So we're still in

188
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:50,599
Speaker 3: the process of doing that and again that that's what

189
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 3: practice for, that's what training camps for. Uh, And we're

190
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:57,679
Speaker 3: molding that identity right now though, trust me. Thanks good

191
00:08:58,000 --> 00:08:59,079
Speaker 3: all right, Thanks appreciate
