1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:14,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, how's it going all right? Wednesday? Training camp? So

2
00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:16,279
Speaker 1: I will try to take your question. I had to

3
00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:20,680
Speaker 1: be reminded start to lose track a little bit. Uh,

4
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:23,200
Speaker 1: So I'll try to answer your questions. It's the benefit

5
00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:25,320
Speaker 1: of heaven sterling out there, you know, running through team

6
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:28,840
Speaker 1: drills with non contact, yeah, all the physical things that

7
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:31,440
Speaker 1: go with playing football. So I think it's I think

8
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:33,320
Speaker 1: it's a good thing that he's out there. You know,

9
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:36,320
Speaker 1: he catched the ball one hand. The yellow jersey means

10
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:39,479
Speaker 1: don't throw it to him, um, and also means on defense,

11
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:43,879
Speaker 1: don't hit him, you know, So I think that parts good. Uh.

12
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:48,239
Speaker 1: You know, you got practice football and it's something that um,

13
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:49,920
Speaker 1: you know, him being out there is a good thing.

14
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 1: It also shows it's a thumb, so we'll worry about

15
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 1: that as we go. Risk that can yeah, any player,

16
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 1: any player practicing. There's a little bit of a risk

17
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:05,840
Speaker 1: for anything, right, So that's why we try to be smart.

18
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:08,960
Speaker 1: That's why we try to you know, watch the players

19
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:13,119
Speaker 1: and see what they individually, where they're at, and then um,

20
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 1: go from there, because if not, you just throw everybody

21
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 1: in bubble wrap and we'll see an opening day and

22
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 1: that we all understand that that's not how you do it.

23
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 1: Now the challenges to be smart guys that are dealing

24
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 1: with injuries, bring them back, you know, at the pace

25
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:32,320
Speaker 1: they can come back, but also then be able to practice.

26
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 1: It's also him setting an example because I mean he

27
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,760
Speaker 1: could very easy to stay inside and use that as

28
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 1: an excuse. So I would imagine that's doctors in to

29
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 1: it as well. Yeah, he wants to be out here,

30
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 1: you know, and he's a team player and he needs

31
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 1: and you know, he knows he needs to work. We

32
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 1: all do. Ideally every player practices every day, but I

33
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 1: mean you can just look at every team throughout the league.

34
00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 1: There's guys on every team that for whatever reason aren't

35
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 1: practicing and we'll be back tomorrow, aren't practicing, will be

36
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 1: back in two days, And then there's guys that are practicing.

37
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 1: And so that's just the nature of training camp because

38
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:12,639
Speaker 1: of some of the physicality that goes with it, with

39
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 1: like the load management. Is that something you guys looked

40
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:16,120
Speaker 1: at in the offseason. I think maybe we need to

41
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 1: back off guys a little more because it seems like

42
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:19,239
Speaker 1: you're doing it a little bit more at this camp

43
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 1: and ago, No, it's exactly the same. Quite frankly, you know,

44
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 1: I think we've our process and what we go through

45
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 1: to make sure we're practicing the guys that write them out.

46
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:31,679
Speaker 1: It's the same as last year. How much did that

47
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:35,360
Speaker 1: both the previous days GPS or you know, data that

48
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 1: you have the guys. That data is part of the equation.

49
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 1: That is when you look at Ocehane and what you

50
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 1: can do to disrupt the quarterback. Everyone who talks a

51
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:47,520
Speaker 1: lot about sacks and that's the big number, but in

52
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:49,079
Speaker 1: terms of the length of a guy who get his

53
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 1: hands up and whether he deflects the past or not

54
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 1: getting in passing lanes, how valuable do you do you

55
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:56,960
Speaker 1: guys view that as a staff, it's important, you know,

56
00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 1: I think we've we've said it before. You want the biggest,

57
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 1: most powerful, longest players you can get, and you know

58
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 1: he's got some of those attributes. You know, we'll just

59
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:09,640
Speaker 1: wait and see how it plays out. But to this point,

60
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 1: he's done a good job and the length is important.

61
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 1: You saw yesterday he batted down an r P O

62
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 1: and uh, he's a good athlete. He was coming around

63
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 1: on a stunt earlier in camp and he you know,

64
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 1: he batted down to down the field throw. So but

65
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:27,920
Speaker 1: with regard to sacks, uh, what you want is pressure

66
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 1: on the quarterback, and he wanted to disrupt the quarterback.

67
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 1: The sack is the ultimate number that we can all measure.

68
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 1: But throughout uh good pass rush, if you can disrupt

69
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 1: the quarterback and knock him off his spot and make

70
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 1: him throw the ball in the way he doesn't want

71
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 1: to h that can be as damaging for an offense.

72
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 1: Is is actually you know, sacking the guy. Cody Fenny

73
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 1: and Russell Shephard all kind of come from special teams

74
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 1: backgrounds playing wide receiver. Given kind of the turmoil you

75
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:00,120
Speaker 1: guys are faced there, how did those guys separate it

76
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 1: themselves over the next couple of weeks when the opportunity

77
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 1: might present itself at the top of the depth charts. Well,

78
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:08,839
Speaker 1: all those guys are pros, and you know, I'm used

79
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 1: to seeing wide receivers. Do you remember the Hank Baskets

80
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:17,039
Speaker 1: and the Jason Avance in early years in Philly. Those guys,

81
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 1: those guys are gonna be on the roster, and they

82
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:22,360
Speaker 1: were excellent special teams players, and then they made plays

83
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 1: in the passing game as well, And so it's important

84
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:29,360
Speaker 1: that our receivers um have an impact on special teams,

85
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 1: and those guys certainly do that. So, um, that's a

86
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 1: good thing in camp so far. What role do you

87
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 1: imagine Bennie Power filling this season. Well, he's a guy

88
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 1: can play all the positions. You know, he typically plays outside,

89
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 1: but there's times when he'll be in the slot. Um,

90
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:49,920
Speaker 1: And he's smart, he's got good instincts. He picks things

91
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:53,360
Speaker 1: up quickly. Um. You saw we had You know, we've

92
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 1: had some receiver injuries within practice and he's been able

93
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 1: to go from being X to Z and Z to

94
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 1: X and so you know that flexibility, um, is important.

95
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 1: He's that what's woking Alonzo Russell back special teams because

96
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:11,040
Speaker 1: it seems to get them quite a bit when the

97
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 1: second team offenses out there. No, I don't think so.

98
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:16,159
Speaker 1: I mean, he's a young player that's developing and trying

99
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 1: to make our team, So I don't. I don't think

100
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:21,040
Speaker 1: there's anything at this point that's holding him back. Pat

101
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 1: with h Corey Valentine, do you see him as as

102
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 1: an option as a kick returner? Possibly? You know, he's

103
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,599
Speaker 1: he's worked at it. Um. You know, we're getting to

104
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:33,600
Speaker 1: know him a little bit more as we go through this,

105
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:37,040
Speaker 1: as he you know, does more and more both on

106
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 1: defense and on special teams. You know, he's I think

107
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:44,360
Speaker 1: he's got a really bright future and kick returns could

108
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 1: be could be part of that. It looks like the

109
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 1: last couple of days he's really kind of fine in

110
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:50,279
Speaker 1: his way. He's in the right spot a lot of times.

111
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 1: Do you see that? Uh yeah, I mean I think

112
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 1: he's getting better. Like yesterday, made a really nice play

113
00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 1: on the steam ball, and that's what you expect from

114
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 1: if you get your hands on the ball, you know,

115
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 1: finish it like you did. That was excellent. That was

116
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 1: a terrific play. And then he had another pass break

117
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 1: up later and so you know, when you start to

118
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 1: see those guys get their hands on balls, and when

119
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:17,040
Speaker 1: we watch the tape, they're in the right position. Um.

120
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:19,160
Speaker 1: But then early in practice he gave up a slant,

121
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:21,359
Speaker 1: you know. So you know, as we go through it,

122
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 1: we watch it all, we grade at all, and he's

123
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 1: definitely definitely making progress and doing more good things than

124
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 1: bad kind only so far I can quietly improving h

125
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:41,480
Speaker 1: And again, the next step for especially those inside backers

126
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:44,039
Speaker 1: now is when we get into the preseason games. But

127
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:48,240
Speaker 1: again he's in the right spot. He's got very good instincts. Uh,

128
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:50,480
Speaker 1: you know, he doesn't. There's not a lot of false

129
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 1: movement to his game. You know, there's some really fine

130
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:56,599
Speaker 1: dynamic linebackers that will take two steps in the wrong

131
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 1: direction and then still have the skill and ability to

132
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:01,360
Speaker 1: get to the play. You know, the thing with Ryan

133
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 1: you don't see a lot of false steps. So you know,

134
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:08,239
Speaker 1: he he maximizes his skill and ability and so again

135
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 1: we're pleased with him as well. We'll just see as

136
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 1: he takes the next step. Um, you know, putting this

137
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 1: good work to use in a preseason game. How how

138
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 1: it plays out? Could you see him? Is he played

139
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 1: like next to Obal Tree or it plays the Obtree?

140
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 1: How is that possibly? You know, he's probably more of

141
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 1: a he's more probably like Ogal Tree. But we'll play

142
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 1: the best guys and then you try to you know,

143
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 1: throwing that around it the best way you can. Evan

144
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 1: evenmitted terrific catch yesterday and fact just the kindest stuff

145
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 1: you're hoping to see for them this year in terms

146
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 1: of in making plays. Yeah, well he's got played you know,

147
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 1: he's got wide receiver traits. He's got play making ability,

148
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 1: so certainly we'd like to see him make as many

149
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 1: of those as possible. I think that's an important thing. Um,

150
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 1: it was a good play yesterday. Yeah. What's you like

151
00:07:56,800 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 1: about Daniel's reaction to the interception yest today? Well, he

152
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 1: was pissed, so yeah, I'm good with that. Sorry I

153
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 1: say that, Yeah, yeah, just both of them. I'm sorry.

154
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 1: I know he's dragging you away, but well that put

155
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 1: more on watching what he does and how he reacts. No,

156
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 1: and then when we look at that play in total, right,

157
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 1: it was an aggressive throw down field, and that's the

158
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 1: thing when you're grading the quarterback, When nin coaches are

159

Speaker 1: grading the quarterback, they look at it one way. I
