22
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:10,560
Speaker 3: Uh So, I would say I believed, right, But you

23
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 3: never really know how the NFL operates, right, There's so

24
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:14,800
Speaker 3: many different uh things can be thrown at you. So

25
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:17,119
Speaker 3: you have to be appreciative when you know you could

26
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 3: be drafted to a team and then the team extends

27
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,920
Speaker 3: you uh more years. Right, So there's always uh a

28
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:22,959
Speaker 3: sense of honor there.

29
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 5: Right.

30
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 6: Uh so did that you really.

31
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 2: Fit into this defense last year Gym's defense? Why was

32
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 2: it so suited for you?

33
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 6: And where can you go next with it?

34
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 7: Yeah?

35
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:35,480
Speaker 3: I mean, uh, anytime you know you have ah a

36
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 3: different scheme, right, it's all about progression. It's all about

37
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:39,680
Speaker 3: learning in the scheme that uh, but it's also about

38
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:41,560
Speaker 3: the relationships that you build with the coach, the relationship

39
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:42,759
Speaker 3: that you build with your teammates.

40
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 5: So you know the scheme.

41
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 3: I think that allows me to be uh myself uh

42
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 3: per se right, and it allows me to really tap

43
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 3: into the personnel that I believe that I fit into,

44
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 3: which is being b very diverse. Uh, whether it's basing

45
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 3: off the edge, standing in the middle, uh, being in

46
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 3: past uh coverage, pass rush, whatever it may be. So

47
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 3: uh th like it's a it's a diverse defense and

48
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 3: uh works well with uh different personnel.

49
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 5: So how did you not let.

50
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 8: That become a distraction and negotiations as you're.

51
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 5: Preparing for this season?

52
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:12,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I think the first thing you know, as

53
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 3: a football player, your job is to focus on the field.

54
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 3: Oh sure, Uh you know that's why you hire agent,

55
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 3: That's why you hire you know, financial advisors. You know

56
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:20,679
Speaker 3: you have uh to hire chefs, right, you have to

57
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 3: hire all of these different uh resources to be able

58
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 3: to be you know, that a combination that accommodation uh

59
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 3: between you know, whether you tryna eat, whether you tryna

60
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:31,960
Speaker 3: do you know contracts? Right, you have people for that.

61
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:34,799
Speaker 3: So that's not a distraction at all. You know, it's

62
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,240
Speaker 3: a process that everybody, everybody has to go through eventually,

63
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 3: and uh you just have to focus on uh than

64
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 3: now and and and the then.

65
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:42,919

Speaker 4: Than showing omark.

69
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just about strengthening the things that I have done, uh,

00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 3: strengthening my play making ability, strengthening my ability to you know,

71
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 3: not make mistakes, strength, strengthening my ability to be the

72
00:02:57,400 --> 00:02:59,679
Speaker 3: best teammate that I can UH being the best brother

73
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 3: that I can the best man that I can UH

74
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 3: on and off.

75
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 5: The field, right, you know, it's very important.

76
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 3: That you know a lot of the guys you know,

77
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 3: really key in on the off the field things as well,

78
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 3: and not just the the things that are happening on

79
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:12,920
Speaker 3: the field, so that we can lead UH to the

80
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 3: best success UH possible.

81
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 10: So you say, a while your find or your can

82
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 10: you be a distraction for you? But just as a

83
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 10: man and a human being, is that something that you

84
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 10: were thinking about this all season going into.

85
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 6: Your your final deal and the uncertainty that.

86
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 2: Does come with that.

87
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:31,799
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, I mean there's there's uncertainty, but then there's

88
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 3: also certainties. Right, There's certainty is that hey, look, you

89
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 3: know I c I can breathe again, right? And again

90
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 3: I think that you know, when you stepping into that

91
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 3: year where there's a possibility that you could be re signed,

92
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 3: you have it in your mind, right, But then again

93
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 3: it goes back to the resources.

94
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 5: You have resources I to help you through that. You know,

95
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 5: this isn't something that's a new thing, right, Uh. We

96
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 5: have veterans that have been through it.

97
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 3: We have guys that UH have been coaching for a

98
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 3: while that's been through it, right, Uh, So it's not

99
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 3: nothing that's new. It's it's about compartmentalization and just putting

100
00:03:58,000 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 3: things in the right place at the right time.

101
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 6: So well, yeah, kah, what was the y.

102
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:04,840
Speaker 10: Uh key you making such a big jump from your

103
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 10: second year or to the.

104
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 5: Way you've played last year.

105
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean when you I think when you look

106
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 3: at the numbers, you know that a lot of people's

107
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 3: you know, say like, oh, some dramatic the jump, you know,

108
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 3: but if you look at the numbers, it's not thirty

109
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:18,360
Speaker 3: tackles off right, like there's isn't like you know this

110
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 3: super uh you know Superman that comes to play.

111
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 11: Nah.

112
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 3: I think that it's about process. It's about learning more,

113
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 3: it's about growing more. It's about having new teammates, to

114
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 3: understanding your teammates and just being able to uh make

115
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 3: those changes, make those muh mistakes in a way that

116
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 3: they won't happen again. So I think that that's really

117
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,360
Speaker 3: the keys to it. It's just about progression and growth.

118
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 2: Without uh Hicks available.

119
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:43,040

Speaker 5: Field here and there?

123
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,359
Speaker 3: Uh it's not like you know every single down, but

124
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 3: it it's here and there is Uh depend on the personnel.

125
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:56,159
Speaker 5: Depending on the personnel, I don't Uh yeah, I'm not sure.

126
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:58,839
Speaker 5: I depend on the person that. Yeah, what is your team?

127
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:00,839
Speaker 12: Jim Schwartz is deep and say as a whole, what

128
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 12: what does that look like?

129
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 2: What does what?

130
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 5: What are you leaning from?

131
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:06,920
Speaker 6: You know, the meetings and on.

132
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 12: The field that everything, What are what's the potential of

133
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:10,040
Speaker 12: what that that.

134
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 2: Can can look like?

135
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:12,480
Speaker 5: Uh?

136
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 3: What I think you've you've seen, Uh the potential obviously,

137
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 3: like I it'll grow as time goes on. But uh,

138
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 3: it's much of the same things, being much of them

139
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:23,360
Speaker 3: the same positions. I'm still playing well, uh be playing

140
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:25,480
Speaker 3: you know third downs. Uh, similar to the h how

141
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 3: I did last year. But it's just about stepping into it,

142
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 3: you know, the role where it's more of a communication,

143
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 3: more of understanding the different things that the moving parts,

144
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:36,839
Speaker 3: advancing in my aqu as the years go on, having

145
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:39,040
Speaker 3: more experience in the defense, helping some of the other

146
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 3: guys out as well, understanding some of the other positions.

147
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:44,279
Speaker 3: Uh again, you know, I think, Uh, the key word

148
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 3: that we're dealing with here is just grow from progressions.

149
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 5: Right. So that's what it is.

150
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 11: If you were if there were amount of brush more

151
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 11: of the Brown's defense right now beyond it because there's

152
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 11: a mill delpit and you have gotten out of that

153
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 11: second contract. Uh, I feel about it being foundation player for.

154
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, Well I'm not quite at those l those guys levels.

155
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 5: I may be on one of.

156
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 3: The hills around here in Cleveland, uh, and they're they're

157
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 3: up there.

158
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 5: Uh. But as time it goes on, you know, I

159
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:09,039

Speaker 2: Is it sunk in that way for you yet?

186
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:02,040
Speaker 6: Uh?

187
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 5: Well, I mean it's always life changing.

188
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 3: I mean to be honest, when I wake up in

189
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:06,840
Speaker 3: the morning, I feel like it's life changing, right cause

190
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:08,719
Speaker 3: that not everybody gets to do it, right. All we

191
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 3: doing is talking about things that and opportunities that's been

192
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 3: handed to you that other people have not had.

193
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 5: And it's a chance to just respond to it. Right.

194
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 3: God has bestowed it a gift upon you, and it's

195
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 3: your duty to respond to that response eye ability, right

196
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 3: if you wanna put it like that, right.

197
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 5: So I think that you know, it's a big thing. Uh,

198
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 5: it's a life changing thing. Uh. But you know, even

199
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 5: in the minute details of of just waking up in

200
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:34,680
Speaker 5: the morning. Uh, all of those things, you know, mean

201
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 5: a lot to me.

202
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 4: So you might have cause you always know that the

203
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 4: Browns felt differently about you than other linebackers on the

204
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 4: people because when you got drafted, Andrewberry said, the people

205
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 4: thoughts are fever dream because you would never draft the

206
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 4: linebacker that high, never trade up for one, and then

207
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 4: they extend you when they haven't done that with linebackers

208
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 4: like you always felt kind of special in their eyes.

209
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 3: Uh well, I felt special in then I Well, again,

210
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 3: it's not a necess saying about uh ah, a belief

211
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 3: in feeling or in emotion or something that's uh spook

212
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 3: or you know, something that I can't see.

213
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:06,680
Speaker 5: Right.

214
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 3: I saw that they you know, traded up, right, so

215
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 3: that obviously there's some type of value that they see

216
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:14,320
Speaker 3: in me. Right of course, I see that they're extending me,

217
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 3: so obviously there's some type of value there of that

218
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 3: that they hold for me. So you know, I honored

219
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:21,680
Speaker 3: that again, you know, I appreciate that in this my

220
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 3: again my duty and my responsibility to answer to those

221
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:30,120
Speaker 3: those calls of that uh that specialness uh that's been

222
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 3: bestowed upon me.

223
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,280

Speaker 13: Yeah?

251
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 3: And that's actually a hust I've been having a lot

252
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 3: of talks about that lay actually with some of the

253

Speaker 5: You talk about progression and growth.

274
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 12: How does how much have you have you seen that

275
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:13,080
Speaker 12: in in terms of your your voice within the locker room,

276
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 12: your n leadership, that sort of thing within this team

277
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:18,480
Speaker 12: taking Just how much have you seen your you know,

278
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 12: kind of your own voice kind of grow and you

279
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 12: know in a as a leader in.

280
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:23,680
Speaker 14: In this team.

281
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:25,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, I would say that the word is pace.

282
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 3: Uh, just in the process of me gaining more information,

283
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:34,040
Speaker 3: being here longer, uh, building my uh relationships more with

284
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:37,720
Speaker 3: the front office, uh, with my teammates, with the coaches,

285
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 3: with the janitors. You know, I'm fan of the janitor.

286
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 3: I always mentioned the janitors, with the janitors, right, building

287
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 3: my relationship with the organization. I think my voice has

288
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 3: become more pace and understanding, uh when to or not

289
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 3: to uh, you know, when to be loud or not

290
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:54,080
Speaker 3: to cool. And I think that that's the real mastery

291
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:56,559
Speaker 3: of of being the football player, especially a Linebacker's just

292
00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:59,679
Speaker 3: about being that uh if I was the quote uh

293
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 3: quote sports that nerve center and just understanding that's the

294
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 3: time and a place for everything.

295
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:05,320
Speaker 5: So that's what I would say.

296
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 3: My uh, the progression has been with you know, my

297
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 3: voice and the team and my presence on the team.

298
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 6: What's the responsibility, said of the eye that that comes

299
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:18,280
Speaker 6: with that? Is that part of that talking more?

300
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean part of it is is talking more.

301
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:24,720
Speaker 3: But then again, if there's not much talking that's needed,

302
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:27,640
Speaker 3: then you know that that's also something that you kind

303
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:30,560
Speaker 3: of uh are aware of and see it and say, well,

304
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 3: I don't need to be talking at this particular second.

305
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:34,679
Speaker 3: You know a lot of times you know when you uh,

306
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:37,680
Speaker 3: you know, people go therapy, you know, they'll they'll say

307
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:39,679
Speaker 3: the first thing is, you know, are you aware of

308
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:40,560
Speaker 3: of this disease?

309
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 5: Are you aware of this mental issue that you have?

310
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 3: And that's the first step, right, is just being aware

311
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:46,719
Speaker 3: of your surroundings and circumstances that you are in.

312
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 5: And then uh, from there you can decide, you know,

313
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:51,319
Speaker 5: and what you need uh to do. Right.

314
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:54,719
Speaker 1: So next is wide receiver Elijah Moore, who's excited to

315
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 1: play in this receiver room where he's known some of

316
00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:58,720
Speaker 1: his teammates since high school.

317
00:11:58,800 --> 00:11:59,880

00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:56,040
Speaker 12: It's some kind of an offensive bultium step up with

403
00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 12: the fans getting with PLI blocks took the next step.

404
00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 14: For y'all here. I feel like football and general you know,

405
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 14: I've always said it for my rookie year. You know,

406
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:04,400
Speaker 14: the more you play, the more comfortable you get, you

407
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:06,560
Speaker 14: know what I'm saying, The more you understand the de defenses,

408
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 14: the more you dealing with the guys, football just becomes

409
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 14: more comfortable.

410
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:11,360
Speaker 13: Been playing football sins, I was sick. So it's just

411
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:12,000
Speaker 13: another step.

412
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 16: Do you feel like you guys as your team or

413
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 16: are so locked in and on such a mission this year,

414
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 16: maybe even.

415
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:24,840
Speaker 6: More so than ever than if there does really seem

416
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 6: to be out like let's post.

417
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 2: Ranks, let's stick together, let's pull together thus on relationship.

418
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:33,840
Speaker 14: I feel like that's the mission every single year, you know.

419
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 14: I obviously we have to take a year by year

420
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:38,640
Speaker 14: and that's what we're doing. So I feel like every

421
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:41,960
Speaker 14: single year that we should attack the the mental approach.

422
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 14: It should be that you know, this is doing you know,

423
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:44,880
Speaker 14: and that's what we're doing.

424
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 6: Where you think.

425
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:48,320
Speaker 4: Adding Jordy's office could it does.

426
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:49,440
Speaker 5: To take the best level.

427
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:52,200
Speaker 14: He's another rock runner, He's from the cribs of familiarity.

428
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 14: And then just having the competitiveness, you know, when you

429
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:57,800
Speaker 14: have more people doing more great things, that holds everybody

430
00:15:57,800 --> 00:15:58,280

00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 2: on eleven, so you get this thing going to be watching?

476
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:39,960
Speaker 14: Yeah, I know, you know, football brings little bangs up

477
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:41,840
Speaker 14: here and there, so when everyone gets on the same page,

478
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:42,960
Speaker 14: you know we'll be on the same page.

479
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:46,280
Speaker 6: And it's about are you hoping to see that some

480
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 6: out here.

481
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 5: In the yeah day?

482
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:48,840
Speaker 13: Is this effident yes, ma'am?

483
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:50,600
Speaker 6: So what kind of be the first print of that.

484
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:51,160
Speaker 13: Yes, ma'am?

485
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:52,680
Speaker 6: Or what what do you expect it to work?

486
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 14: Like?

487
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:54,560
Speaker 13: Exciting? Exciting?

488
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:58,440
Speaker 1: Safety Rodney McLeod Junior is entering his final season in

489
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:00,399
Speaker 1: the NFL and says he f you was like a

490
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:03,680
Speaker 1: little kid, absorbing every moment on and off the field.

491
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:04,680
Speaker 6: He said, in the spring.

492
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:07,280
Speaker 2: You didn't expect to be extra emotional once this got going.

493
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:08,520
Speaker 2: Is that stayed true?

494
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 7: Yeah, definitely stay true.

495
00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:13,720
Speaker 17: I think it's just like a kid again, just enjoying

496
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:18,119
Speaker 17: like every single moment of football of course on the grass,

497
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:21,000
Speaker 17: but also in the locker room. You know, those are

498
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:23,360
Speaker 17: the memories that everybody talks about they missed the most.

499
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:27,560
Speaker 17: So just just grateful for another year and just taking

500
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:28,360
Speaker 17: it one day at a time.

501
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:30,680
Speaker 4: Sould you think like you got head into the joint

502
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:33,639
Speaker 4: practices this week thinking these are my last joint practices ever.

503
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:37,120
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's like you're checking everything off off the list.

504
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:39,560
Speaker 17: It's like, all right, my last conditioning test, you know,

505
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:42,720
Speaker 17: my first time having to travel for training camp, and yeah,

506
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:46,000
Speaker 17: probably my last set of joint practices. So I'm looking

507
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:48,560
Speaker 17: forward to compete, to be honest, with just a great

508
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:52,359
Speaker 17: group rolling in here. We got a great challenge, you know,

509
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:55,440
Speaker 17: to work against a different scheme. See how we line

510
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:59,200
Speaker 17: up versus you know, some top tier receivers in the league.

511
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:02,000
Speaker 7: So you know, the group's ready and we're gonna give

512
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:02,320
Speaker 7: it our.

513
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:07,640
Speaker 12: Best shorts defense in year two previous? What does year

514
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:10,520
Speaker 12: two of a Jim Schwarts defense look like? I mean

515
00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:14,480
Speaker 12: Philly looked really good. Yeah, but but what what what

516
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:18,240
Speaker 12: are those sort of steps that they kind of go through.

517
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:21,120
Speaker 17: Yeah, I think first and foremost usually want to see

518
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 17: just growth from year one a year two. And growth

519
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:29,879
Speaker 17: looks like better communication, better understanding of the defense right

520
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:33,359
Speaker 17: and your role within each call. And I think, you know,

521
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:36,160
Speaker 17: we started off on a good foot thus far from

522
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 17: ot as to this point in training camp.

523
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:39,960
Speaker 7: There's still room for improvement.

524
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:43,480
Speaker 17: Always you've never got it, but I think we started

525
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:47,160
Speaker 17: off in a in a better place than we did

526
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:49,159
Speaker 17: last year, and that's gonna pay dividend for us, you know,

527
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:50,080
Speaker 17: going into this year.

528
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:55,119
Speaker 15: Thinking about last year to the joint practices in Philly,

529
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:57,320
Speaker 15: like it seemed like you guys just went out there

530
00:19:57,359 --> 00:19:59,400
Speaker 15: the first day and imposed your bill, Like how important

531
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:01,760
Speaker 15: is that when? And you have two practices to really

532
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:04,000
Speaker 15: set the tone on day one for the defense.

533
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:04,360
Speaker 7: Yeah.

534
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 17: One thing we talk about in our room is the

535
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:10,560
Speaker 17: standard travels and so what's apparent is that we had

536
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:13,280
Speaker 17: a great home record last year, but you know we failed,

537
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:14,439
Speaker 17: you know, on a road and.

538
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:15,639
Speaker 7: That's about consistency.

539
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:17,480
Speaker 17: And so I think, you know, what we want to

540
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:21,560
Speaker 17: see in these two days of practice is consistent ball,

541
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:27,679
Speaker 17: you know, a great level focused communication, hustle, intensity, Uh,

542
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:30,959
Speaker 17: everything that's required for us to win in the course production.

543
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:31,480
Speaker 5: Uh.

544
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:33,280
Speaker 17: Those are the things that you that you want to

545
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:36,520
Speaker 17: see on full display in all three phases of the game.

546
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 7: Over the course of heason next two practices.

547
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:39,879
Speaker 8: And I know he's not in your position here, but

548
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:42,359
Speaker 8: Jay Okay had a huge year last year because you

549
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:44,080
Speaker 8: know Jim and you know that defense as well.

550
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:46,440
Speaker 6: Did you see him a as a player that was gonna.

551
00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:47,480
Speaker 2: Thrive in that kind of a system.

552
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:50,720
Speaker 7: Absolutely, He's the definition of attack.

553
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:51,399
Speaker 5: Uh.

554
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:54,560
Speaker 17: And he gets downhill like a flying missile. Uh, he

555
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:58,200
Speaker 17: sees he has a great feel and recognition for the game,

556
00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:00,840
Speaker 17: and so he was a great fit for us.

557
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:02,240
Speaker 7: And he brings versatility.

558
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:06,960
Speaker 17: You know, not only can he create tackles for loss

559
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:09,720
Speaker 17: in the run game and apply pressure on running backs

560
00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 17: through his rush efforts, but he also has the ability

561
00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:15,359
Speaker 17: to cover well. And that's a lot of his just

562
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:19,520
Speaker 17: upbringing and background being a basketball player and just very

563
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:21,960
Speaker 17: gifted individual.

564
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:24,760
Speaker 7: I would say, uh, he's my lockermate.

565
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:26,440
Speaker 17: So I talk about man, I need some of his

566
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:28,760
Speaker 17: juice this year to give me, you know, a few

567
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:33,080
Speaker 17: additional steps. Yeah, Yeah, but jailk has been man, he's

568
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:33,800
Speaker 17: been lights out.

569
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:38,399
Speaker 9: For us obviously as one of the leaders on this team. Situation, like,

570
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:40,040
Speaker 9: what's going on if all happens?

571
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:42,720
Speaker 5: Do you, I mean, how do you approach this? Man?

572
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:44,320
Speaker 6: How do you make sure you guys are focused on this?

573
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:46,680
Speaker 6: And like do you talk to Mike? How do you

574
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:48,040
Speaker 6: sort of approach this whole situation?

575
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:51,200
Speaker 17: I mean, everybody, we're a team, we're a family, and

576
00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:54,480
Speaker 17: you know, we're understanding that certain things are gonna arise

577
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:57,680
Speaker 17: and take place, and so you have to treat it

578
00:21:57,680 --> 00:21:58,040
Speaker 17: as such.

579
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:01,560
Speaker 7: You know, we're all human being and so, uh.

580
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:04,200
Speaker 17: You know, for us, we're just trying to learn more

581
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:07,920
Speaker 17: about what took place, and you know, we'll we'll handle

582
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:08,840
Speaker 17: things accordingly from there.

583
00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:12,320
Speaker 6: Ronnie, what when you get out of the preseason game

584
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:13,159
Speaker 6: that you don't get out of.

585
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 8: The joint practice and conversations happen about shouldn't we maybe

586
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:18,879
Speaker 8: scrap going off one preseason game to.

587
00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:22,320
Speaker 7: More joint practices or just change well I repeat that again, sorry.

588
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:24,280
Speaker 4: Sort Yeah, what do you get out of the preseason

589
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:25,119
Speaker 4: don't get out of.

590
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:25,720
Speaker 6: A joint practice?

591
00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:26,400
Speaker 12: Why do we need both?

592
00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:26,959
Speaker 13: Oh?

593
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:30,280
Speaker 17: I think I mean it's it's this is more of

594
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:33,239
Speaker 17: a controlled environment, you know, as much as we are,

595
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:37,080
Speaker 17: uh you know, full tilt to a to a degree,

596
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:41,720
Speaker 17: there's still a different level that the game presents.

597
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:44,920
Speaker 7: Uh you know, you're now tackling all the way to

598
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:47,000
Speaker 7: the ground. You know, here we're just asking for thud.

599
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:50,600
Speaker 17: Uh So there's a lot you know, more to it

600
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:53,119
Speaker 17: in in a game setting versus a practice environment.

601
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:54,880
Speaker 7: So I think there's value in both.

602
00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:56,640
Speaker 2: Kevinn made the case.

603
00:22:58,200 --> 00:22:58,480
Speaker 5: Monday.

604
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:01,560
Speaker 16: It's a good so another really good opportunity for some

605
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:02,800
Speaker 16: of the you know, the.

606
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 4: Roster guys on drafted guys to put their resume out there.

607
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:07,920
Speaker 12: How important is that to sustain guys who I maybe

608
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:09,200
Speaker 12: wouldn't get the chance otherwise?

609
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:10,000
Speaker 7: Very important?

610
00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:12,200
Speaker 17: You know what you're seeing, you know, over the course

611
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:13,640
Speaker 17: of these next couple of days is a lot more

612
00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:17,600
Speaker 17: from the ones. Uh So, the reps of of you know,

613
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:21,600
Speaker 17: a position of of the threes or undrafted position you know,

614
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:25,280
Speaker 17: now lessons and so that's where the game now pays dividend.

615
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:27,560
Speaker 17: You know, I was one of those guys undrafted, you know,

616
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:30,680
Speaker 17: fighting for a roster spot, and you know, I'll tell

617
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:33,720
Speaker 17: you that the game did did matter. It was a

618
00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:37,879
Speaker 17: way for me to show my abilities, my talent, you know,

619
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:41,680
Speaker 17: and build trust you know from my team coaches and teammates.

620
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:44,480
Speaker 17: So uh, super excited for for those guys when they

621
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:46,439
Speaker 17: get the opportunities Upcomber weekend, most for.

622
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:47,240
Speaker 2: Such long careers.

623
00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:49,640
Speaker 6: But where would you be without preseason persons? Yeah?

624
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:54,040
Speaker 7: No, exactly, would have never been discovered, to be honest.

625
00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:58,800
Speaker 17: So I still think preseason does serve an importance for

626
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:00,600
Speaker 17: everyone's growth.

627
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:02,840
Speaker 4: Why do you mention being lack of meates with j K?

628
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:04,720
Speaker 4: And I was gonna ask you about that. So you guys,

629
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:06,560
Speaker 4: I saw you guys talking a bunch last year. What

630
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 4: did you learn about him, whether it's a football player

631
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:11,439
Speaker 4: or not just being closer?

632
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 15: Uh?

633
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:12,560
Speaker 13: Uh.

634
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:17,280
Speaker 17: He is a very in depth thinker, very intellectual, and

635
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:20,240
Speaker 17: cares a lot about his family. Uh, you know, that's

636
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:22,840
Speaker 17: first and foremost and what I recognized about him. And

637
00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:26,520
Speaker 17: he has a great sense of humor. Uh And and

638
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:30,640
Speaker 17: has an odd way of doing things, but it's it's

639
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:33,320
Speaker 17: his way and I respect that He's always his authentic

640
00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:36,239
Speaker 17: self and that's what I enjoyed most about Jay.

641
00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:40,560
Speaker 6: Okay, what do you think about him getting the contract

642
00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:42,440
Speaker 6: extension today? And then with the investment.

643
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:44,080
Speaker 5: I know he had a good season last year.

644
00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:46,560
Speaker 6: What do you think is kind of the future for him?

645
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:47,000
Speaker 3: Yeah?

646
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:49,120
Speaker 17: Or not given is the first thing that comes to mind.

647
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:51,800
Speaker 17: You know, he's earned every bit.

648
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:52,960
Speaker 2: Of of of what he.

649
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:59,639
Speaker 17: Received today and was rewarded through his production the way

650
00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:04,679
Speaker 17: that he played last year. And this organization understands, Uh,

651
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:07,359
Speaker 17: that caliber player, you know, they need to keep around

652
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:10,000
Speaker 17: for you know, extended period of time. And so I

653
00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:12,480
Speaker 17: know he's going to take that next step and in

654
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:16,440
Speaker 17: his journey now, and I'm excited for him and and

655
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:21,399
Speaker 17: and honestly, that's something that it's life changing. You know,

656
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:23,679
Speaker 17: you talk about you changed the course of your family

657
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:26,800
Speaker 17: and the trajectory for yourself financial freedom, and I know

658
00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:28,800
Speaker 17: that thing is very important for him.

659
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:32,240
Speaker 15: That linebacker room just looks different this year personnel wise

660
00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:35,600
Speaker 15: with Taki and he's suddenly the one of the guys

661
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:37,879
Speaker 15: that's been there the longest, him and Tony. How do

662
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:40,639
Speaker 15: you think he's going to handle you know, that seems

663
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:42,520
Speaker 15: like an increased leadership.

664
00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:46,880
Speaker 17: I think he's he's embraced it, to be honest, it's

665
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:51,080
Speaker 17: what's expected of not only us, but I think he's

666
00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:52,760
Speaker 17: he expects of himself.

667
00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:53,399
Speaker 11: Uh.

668
00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:55,760
Speaker 17: You know, now he's had the opportunity to kind of

669
00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:59,760
Speaker 17: learn from gods like Anthony Walker and and other ogs

670
00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:02,280
Speaker 17: who set in his room, and it's now time for

671
00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:05,800
Speaker 17: him to, uh, you know, wear that crown alongside a

672
00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:08,320
Speaker 17: guy like Jordan Hicks again who's been around for a

673
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:11,640
Speaker 17: nixtended period of time, great leader himself, a fine linebacker

674
00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:14,440
Speaker 17: in this league, and you know how great confidence that

675
00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:17,640
Speaker 17: not only will you know we see uh the same

676
00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:19,800
Speaker 17: jail Craape from last year on the field, but you

677
00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:24,280
Speaker 17: know we'll get a u A difference side of him

678
00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:25,240
Speaker 17: in a leadership position.

679
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:28,160
Speaker 9: I mean across that secondary, whether it's the safety room

680
00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:30,520
Speaker 9: or the cornerback room, and it just seems like young

681
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:33,160
Speaker 9: guys are able to come in and perform or even

682
00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:38,040
Speaker 9: hars what is it about those your guys from that

683
00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:40,160
Speaker 9: secondary that allows young guys to just step.

684
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:41,000
Speaker 5: In and perform?

685
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:46,879
Speaker 17: Understanding uh the standard uh, understanding the men that they

686
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:48,600
Speaker 17: that we all represent when.

687
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:50,000
Speaker 7: We get out there. You know, that's what we talk

688
00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:51,479
Speaker 7: about once we hit that grass.

689
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:52,080
Speaker 13: Uh.

690
00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:54,720
Speaker 17: We represent the entire room and we all take great

691
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:58,560
Speaker 17: pride in that and understanding that we understand the mission

692
00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:01,320
Speaker 17: at hand, and the mission is to be the best

693
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:05,199
Speaker 17: and that comes with a great deal of preparation throughout

694
00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:08,000
Speaker 17: the week, both in the classroom and on the grass.

695
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:12,320
Speaker 17: And uh, everyone's coachable and selfless. And when you have that,

696
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:14,840
Speaker 17: that's the making of a of a special room.

697
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:16,960
Speaker 9: It also seems like you guys have allowed us down there.

698
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:18,640
Speaker 15: Yeah.

699
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:23,240
Speaker 17: Yeah, you have to be you know, as a defensive back,

700
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:26,080
Speaker 17: you got to have a great deal of confidence in yourself,

701
00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 17: you know, to line up every single play, you know,

702
00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:32,160
Speaker 17: on the island or knowing if I don't make this play,

703
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:35,440
Speaker 17: you know what the outcome can be. And you know,

704
00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:37,840
Speaker 17: like I said, we we take on that challenge every

705
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:41,280
Speaker 17: single day we line up. And that's the reason for

706
00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:47,439
Speaker 17: a lot of the extra antics and celebrations because we deserve.

707
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:51,280
Speaker 1: After practice, head coach Kevin Stefanski addressed the media and

708
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:54,600
Speaker 1: broke down today's joint practice with the Minnesota Vikings.

709
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:57,520
Speaker 8: Okay, really good work out there with Minnesota. We'll have

710
00:27:57,560 --> 00:27:59,920
Speaker 8: another good day tomorrow. Try to hit a bunch of

711
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:03,840
Speaker 8: situations today, normal down and distance, third down. We'll get

712
00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:06,320
Speaker 8: in the red zone tomorrow. We'll do a two minute tomorrow.

713
00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:09,040
Speaker 8: But I thought both sides I had got some really

714
00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:11,680
Speaker 8: good work in. Obviously I only saw one side of

715
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:13,040
Speaker 8: the field. So I'll get to watch the tape on

716
00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:14,800
Speaker 8: the other side here in a minute, But a lot

717
00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:17,479
Speaker 8: of tape to watch tonight and and then again get

718
00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:19,919
Speaker 8: a good works days work tomorrow with.

719
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:21,439
Speaker 6: These guys and then play them on Saturday.

720
00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:24,159
Speaker 8: But I thought their coaches, their players did did a

721
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:26,440
Speaker 8: great job, got really good work. And I know you

722
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:30,080
Speaker 8: guys have questions about my call. Respectfully, I don't have

723
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:30,720
Speaker 8: much to add.

724
00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:31,960
Speaker 5: I'm gonna left.

725
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:36,000
Speaker 8: Legal proceedings play out, but I understand that they have

726
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:36,560
Speaker 8: to ask a question.

727
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:39,000
Speaker 6: But I really don't have much on that subject. But

728
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:40,680
Speaker 6: with that, I'll take any questions.

729
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:43,480
Speaker 2: Free to pre with the team and work out.

730
00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:49,240
Speaker 8: Yes, I can't get into all the details, guys, I

731
00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:51,920
Speaker 8: would just tell you we're gonna left the illegal proceedings.

732
00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:55,959
Speaker 16: Play you at this thing you feel comfortable having in practice.

733
00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:57,240
Speaker 6: They asked me practice today.

734
00:28:57,520 --> 00:28:58,640
Speaker 2: We left the practice.

735
00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:00,640
Speaker 6: You know I was injured, but that don't have the

736
00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:03,840
Speaker 6: uh the judgment. Okay, what looked like there were a

737
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:06,960
Speaker 6: lot of false starts up there on the offense. Is

738
00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:10,080
Speaker 6: that just going against a different team or why was

739
00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:10,840
Speaker 6: the reason to wind?

740
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:11,320
Speaker 13: Uh?

741
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:14,760
Speaker 6: We need to be way better offensively from an operation standpoint.

742
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:15,480
Speaker 4: That was not good.

743
00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:17,480
Speaker 6: And some of it was the cadence.

744
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:20,440
Speaker 8: Uh, some of it was that, uh they weren't false start,

745
00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:22,440
Speaker 8: some of them were the the tackles were aligned too

746
00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:24,160
Speaker 8: deep at times. So those are all things that are

747
00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:25,280
Speaker 8: correctable and we will correct.

748
00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:26,560
Speaker 6: And you were working a.

749
00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:29,880
Speaker 2: Lot of guys a lot of tackle. Does it that

750
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:30,800
Speaker 2: account for some of it?

751
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:34,480
Speaker 6: Do you think could Yeah? Absolutely, now that's no excuse,

752
00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:36,760
Speaker 6: but it certainly as could play effector.

753
00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:39,680
Speaker 2: Are you the good huge hit there?

754
00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:44,120
Speaker 6: Do you guys have some? Yeah, we thued the runner

755
00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:45,480
Speaker 6: meaning you can fit the runner up.

756
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:47,880
Speaker 8: Obviously we don't. We don't take cheap shots and those

757
00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:49,760
Speaker 8: type of things, but uh, there is we do.

758
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:50,400
Speaker 5: It is thud.

759
00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:52,880
Speaker 6: So it's it's uh not tackle, it's not wrap 'em up,

760
00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:54,160
Speaker 6: but it is uh fund.

761
00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:55,600
Speaker 2: You take them with.

762
00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:58,200
Speaker 6: I don't have an update, Kevin, what you think it was.

763
00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:00,760
Speaker 6: Uh have to watch it. There was a couple of

764
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:03,440
Speaker 6: really good moments. One moment in particular through the ball

765
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:05,960
Speaker 6: really on time and.

766
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:07,960
Speaker 8: Jamaar Thrash did a nice job of getting getting his

767
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:09,920
Speaker 8: head around a final the ball that was in particular

768
00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:11,760
Speaker 8: really nice play on third down.

769
00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:14,400
Speaker 6: But plenty to clean up anything like you were in

770
00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:16,320
Speaker 6: the protection issues as well.

771
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:18,880
Speaker 5: Did you what did you see that you think?

772
00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:21,640
Speaker 6: I think it's twofold. I think they have good rushers.

773
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:23,720
Speaker 6: I think you know, credit to them. I also think

774
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:27,120
Speaker 6: that front gives us way more variation than we've seen.

775
00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:28,280
Speaker 6: So we need that work.

776
00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:30,640
Speaker 8: We need to talk through it as an offensive line.

777
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:33,640
Speaker 8: Tell you own group, running back, quarterback, just get on

778
00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:36,600
Speaker 8: the same page there. Those are all valuable conversations that

779
00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:39,479
Speaker 8: we definitely need to have been an issue throughout King

780
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:43,760
Speaker 8: christ most. I think today was not a great was

781
00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:45,800
Speaker 8: it not a great day for protections? But I'd say

782
00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:47,160
Speaker 8: more from a miscommunications him.

783
00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:50,200
Speaker 2: Can you hear that started the season with Jed will.

784
00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:55,760
Speaker 6: I'm early what's today's date time? Anybody know? August fourteenth?

785
00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:56,480
Speaker 6: And focused so.

786
00:30:57,200 --> 00:30:59,920
Speaker 16: Kevin in situations like with my calling car and then

787
00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:02,920
Speaker 16: to kind of do you have a discussion with Andrew

788
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:04,840
Speaker 16: Berry cause I know you had a situation earlier in

789
00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:07,680
Speaker 16: the off season where a player had a this year

790
00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:09,320
Speaker 16: and he was cut the day after it. Or with

791
00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:11,520
Speaker 16: Mike call he's, you know, the rested in charge with

792
00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:13,280
Speaker 16: the mist bounds and then he plays the next day.

793
00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:15,600
Speaker 16: Do you have a conversation with Andrew about how to

794
00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:17,560
Speaker 16: go about it or who came to a decision.

795
00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:20,160
Speaker 6: Yeah, respectfully, and I understand the question. I don't have

796
00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:20,960
Speaker 6: much to act.

797
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:23,960
Speaker 15: Kevin, do you know okay getting extended today?

798
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:27,760
Speaker 10: Just your thoughts on the words of keeping him around

799
00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:29,040
Speaker 10: for the foreseeable future.

800
00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:32,280
Speaker 8: Yeah, very happy for Jeremiah. He's a guy that, as

801
00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:35,520
Speaker 8: we've talked about, is a great scheme fit for how

802
00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:38,440
Speaker 8: we play. He's a great cultural fit and how he

803
00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:41,680
Speaker 8: is on the practice fields and the building, uh, you know,

804
00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:43,600
Speaker 8: really brings the energy to his teammates.

805
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:44,280
Speaker 6: So happy for.

806
00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:45,400
Speaker 5: Him, Kevin.

807
00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:47,800
Speaker 12: I know you were focused on the offense today, but

808
00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:49,760
Speaker 12: you know, just from what we were able to see

809
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:51,280
Speaker 12: on the defense, seems.

810
00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:52,760
Speaker 6: Like Miles Harden had a you know, was having a

811
00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:55,600
Speaker 6: very good day. Just what can you talk to say

812
00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:57,560
Speaker 6: about the you know, the campie's head.

813
00:31:57,480 --> 00:31:59,520
Speaker 2: Up to this point and I know you're gonna.

814
00:31:59,280 --> 00:31:59,920
Speaker 5: Have to watch for him.

815
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:03,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, he's done. Christ who's done a nice job.

816
00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:06,320
Speaker 8: I didn't I didn't see that player in particular, but

817
00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:09,520
Speaker 8: I'll watch obviously what he's done. But he's a very

818
00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:12,720
Speaker 8: smart player, has great ball skills, so he's doing a

819
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:14,520
Speaker 8: nice job. We're just kind of moving him around and

820
00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:15,840
Speaker 8: seeing if he can carve out a role.

821
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:18,280
Speaker 2: Kenn benzel Ward, he had the collusion on Monday.

822
00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:19,960
Speaker 6: Is that why he's in protocol?

823
00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:23,760
Speaker 15: Kevin Matt No, Martin that I know Downer had some

824
00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:26,640
Speaker 15: good battles with Justin Jefferson. Talk about being excited for

825
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:30,240
Speaker 15: those one on one opportunities. He speak to his competitiveness

826
00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:31,880
Speaker 15: in that way that you know practice.

827
00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:34,080
Speaker 8: He's looking forward to that, and that's the fun part

828
00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:37,440
Speaker 8: of these days is that's great work. You can't get

829
00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:40,720
Speaker 8: better work than going up against Justin Jefferson. So to

830
00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:42,640
Speaker 8: go up against a different team always gives our guys a.

831
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:44,120
Speaker 6: Little bit of juice. But to go up against a

832
00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:47,480
Speaker 6: player of his caliber, and we think very highly of MJ.

833
00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:50,720
Speaker 6: So it's fun for these guys to practice their craft

834
00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:51,680
Speaker 6: against these great players.

835
00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:55,440
Speaker 9: Kevin, going going back to my call, do you I

836
00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:57,600
Speaker 9: know you talk a lot about Colt. Do you worry

837
00:32:57,640 --> 00:32:59,600
Speaker 9: about the message. It sounds that you have the bigger

838
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:02,880
Speaker 9: for us has to play out. Appears there weren't consequences

839
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:04,520
Speaker 9: at this point. He was just a lot of practice.

840
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:07,960
Speaker 6: I understand the question. I would tell you we really

841
00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:09,240
Speaker 6: just have to respect the process.

842
00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:11,960
Speaker 4: But I give what you said you probably you can achieve.

843
00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:14,520
Speaker 4: Do you understand that some people take that as a

844
00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:17,200
Speaker 4: band looked a bit a day after he's arrested.

845
00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:19,320
Speaker 6: For the domestic violence, he's leave you.

846
00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:22,880
Speaker 8: For you, I understand what you're asking honestly, But for us,

847
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:25,760
Speaker 8: we have to trust in the process and and and

848
00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:29,240
Speaker 8: really it's that, Kevin.

849
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:31,800
Speaker 13: What did you think of Shaun As you'll.

850
00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:33,400
Speaker 2: Think in terms of like how we's.

851
00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:38,560
Speaker 8: Radio three, they really challenge you. I think coach Flores

852
00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:41,400
Speaker 8: does an awesome job in a bunch of areas. But

853
00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:43,280
Speaker 8: one of the key areas that they do a nice

854
00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:46,520
Speaker 8: job is they confuse, They give you different looks. They

855
00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:50,320
Speaker 8: can blitz anybody from anywhere. So that's incredible work for us.

856
00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:53,240
Speaker 8: And I thought the quarterbacks buy and large solid pretty well.

857
00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:55,000
Speaker 16: Kevin.

858
00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:57,080
Speaker 15: I know again you're gonna probably repeat the same thing,

859
00:33:57,160 --> 00:33:59,880
Speaker 15: but which might give if everything goes well physically since

860
00:33:59,880 --> 00:34:01,680
Speaker 15: you took that hit today as a plan for him

861
00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:04,560
Speaker 15: to keep practicing if he's available as all this process.

862
00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:07,440
Speaker 8: Playing, Uh, I think again, f I not gonna look

863
00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:10,280
Speaker 8: into I'm gonna not talk past today.

864
00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:13,840
Speaker 6: I'll just tell you I need we need to respect

865
00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:17,720
Speaker 6: the process here. Jeremiah how valuable.

866
00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:20,719
Speaker 10: Is it's a lot of the guys such a young

867
00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:21,839
Speaker 10: Asian guy who can.

868
00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:23,120
Speaker 6: Be a leader now in the future.

869
00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:24,200
Speaker 13: Uh.

870
00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:26,920
Speaker 8: Yeah, he's still a young player. Uh, he's still I

871
00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:29,640
Speaker 8: think he's still a a player that's getting better. I

872
00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:32,200
Speaker 8: think there's more that Jeremiah can do.

873
00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:33,160
Speaker 6: I think he knows that.

874
00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:33,560
Speaker 13: Uh.

875
00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:36,080
Speaker 8: And that's certainly something he It's not like this is

876
00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:39,040
Speaker 8: just uh something that he stops progressing, if you will.

877
00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:41,239
Speaker 8: So he's still a young player that's working on his

878
00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:42,360
Speaker 8: craft and we're excited about that.

879
00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:45,600
Speaker 10: Would you say you take these issues on a case

880
00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:50,760
Speaker 10: case basis or do you kind of have the same policy.

881
00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:54,439
Speaker 3: For every player regardless of whether or not there high

882
00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:55,399
Speaker 3: big or big.

883
00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:58,719
Speaker 8: Yeah, I I I can't get into the specifics, Mary

884
00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:02,080
Speaker 8: kay Uh, other than the te you you know, we'll

885
00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:05,359
Speaker 8: continue to continue to let the process play out.

886
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:09,440
Speaker 11: Did jebuinous experience is set back, it's recovery.

887
00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:12,680
