1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,400
Speaker 1: All right, Kyler, What was it like being in the stadium.

2
00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:04,680
Speaker 1: They're kind of an empty stadium. That's that's something you're

3
00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:06,200
Speaker 1: gonna have to get used to, I guess for most

4
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:09,240
Speaker 1: of this season. Yeah, it was. I mean, we've we've

5
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:11,440
Speaker 1: done some loftros out there. I think it's gonna be

6
00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:14,640
Speaker 1: a really it's gonna be a really good experience on

7
00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:16,680
Speaker 1: Friday to do the scrimmage in the stadium and to

8
00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:19,919
Speaker 1: just kind of get the feel for that. Um. Yeah,

9
00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:23,000
Speaker 1: it's exciting. It's exciting to get back into the stadium

10
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:26,160
Speaker 1: and looking forward to get in the first game going.

11
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:29,560
Speaker 1: When you're playing in an empty stadium as a defender,

12
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:32,479
Speaker 1: can you, um, can you hear the calls and the

13
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:34,600
Speaker 1: plays and things like that from the from the offense,

14
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 1: and you envision that once the regular season comes and

15
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:39,800
Speaker 1: you're playing in these empty stadiums, that that could be

16
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:43,240
Speaker 1: an advantage. Yeah. I mean, I think it'll go both ways,

17
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:46,560
Speaker 1: because sometimes the defensives give calls that may tip things

18
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:49,600
Speaker 1: off as well. UM. But yeah, I think that's definitely

19
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 1: something that we're gonna have to adjust to. The whole

20
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:54,319
Speaker 1: league is gonna have to adjust to. Um as far

21
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:58,640
Speaker 1: as may be doing more hand signals or just doing

22
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 1: whatever you can in the huddle, but forehand to to

23
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 1: kind of communicate it so that you don't give anything away.

24
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:06,200
Speaker 1: I know you're with Patrick Graham and Green Bay. Was

25
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 1: he actually your position coach or was he more with

26
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:10,680
Speaker 1: the inside guys there? Oh? Yeah, he was the inside

27
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:13,839
Speaker 1: position coach. Okay, So I mean with what you're doing here,

28
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:15,760
Speaker 1: is there much carry over from what you did there?

29
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 1: Is it kind of different? Yeah? No, it's it's similar

30
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:21,680
Speaker 1: in a lot of ways. Especially, I mean they're both

31
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:26,800
Speaker 1: three four schemes. Um, but I think kind of similar

32
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:30,399
Speaker 1: to to the Patriots scheme, which is a little bit

33
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:34,400
Speaker 1: of what has done before. Um, there's definitely on third

34
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 1: downs and in those rush situations, there's a little bit

35
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 1: more creativity, I would say with Pat's defense. And then

36
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 1: you're obviously coming in here with Blake. Have you seen

37
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 1: him kind of already step into a little bit of

38
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 1: leadership role with this defense. Yeah, yeah, definitely, and especially

39
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 1: because um, you know, the whole team really but definitely

40
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 1: the defense is very very young. Um, he's done a

41
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 1: great job of kind of stepping up and on that role.

42
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 1: And that's kind of the role of the mic linebacker anyways. Um,

43
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 1: so yeah, he's done well with that. Thanks. Yeah, Jack.

44
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 1: This is a pass us grouped a lot of young guys.

45
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 1: What have you seen out of guys like Ocehane and

46
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 1: and Lorenzo Carter and Carter Coffin, Like, what have you

47
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,400
Speaker 1: seen out of those guys since you got here? A

48
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 1: lot of talent honestly, Um, a lot of a lot

49
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 1: of raw ability, and uh, you know, I think we've

50
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:30,640
Speaker 1: been working. It's been We've been getting a lot better

51
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 1: the one on ones and everything. Um, that work has

52
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 1: been great. And uh and yeah, I mean even even

53
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:40,520
Speaker 1: I mean we were watching just some clips from last

54
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 1: year with pressures and stuff, and uh, you know, as

55
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 1: a rookie, X was I mean he produced He I

56
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:50,960
Speaker 1: think he had four or four and a half sacks um,

57
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 1: which is awesome for rookie And and uh, you know

58
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 1: the same kind of thing was Zoh. He's he's going

59
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 1: into his third year and I think it'll be It's

60
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 1: a fun room. It's a fun group to be a

61
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:04,520
Speaker 1: part of the mixture of us as outside linebackers as

62
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 1: well as all the talent um at the interior d line. Um,

63
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 1: I think they're down is going to be a fun down.

64
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,519
Speaker 1: And then because you guys don't have a preseason, you're

65
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 1: really not gonna be able to like sack a quarterback

66
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 1: until the regular season. How much are you itching to

67
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 1: have that chance to tackle a quarterback to the ground.

68
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 1: It's it's always annoying and practice and stuff. You know,

69
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 1: you're not able to totally finish your rushes, and you

70
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 1: know the offense always plays that game of like where

71
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:33,679
Speaker 1: you would you have been there or whatever? Um, But no, yeah,

72
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 1: it's I mean, we're excited. We're excited to be able

73
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 1: to actually play, um, you know as much as you

74
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 1: know we're we've been getting a lot better going against

75
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 1: each other, and it is weird to not have preseason games.

76
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 1: It's weird to not be able to get that really

77
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 1: full speed feel, um before we're going to be playing

78
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 1: for the you know, the games that count. But but

79
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 1: I think, you know, again, the scrimmage is gonna be

80
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 1: a huge thing. It's gonna be as live as we're

81
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 1: going to get before Pittsburgh. So yeah, I mean, we're

82
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 1: we're itching to get after the quarterback for sure. Hey, Kyler,

83
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 1: to to kind of piggyback on that last question in

84
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:16,360
Speaker 1: the scrimmage last Friday, it really didn't look like there

85
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 1: was a whole lot of pass rush. But is that

86
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 1: is it really hard to judge, you know, what the

87
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:28,720
Speaker 1: pass rush really is when you have to pull up. Uh. Yeah,

88
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 1: I mean I think sometimes it's it's clear that you

89
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:34,280
Speaker 1: know you would have been there, But definitely, especially when

90
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 1: you're kind of bending that edge, um and you're you're

91
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:40,840
Speaker 1: not trying to get, you're trying to stay you know,

92
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 1: outside of three yards of the quarterback, you're not able

93
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:47,479
Speaker 1: to finish that um that rush. And so yeah, I

94
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:50,599
Speaker 1: mean it's it's hard. It's obviously it's what you have

95
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 1: to do. We're not complaining, like we want to keep

96
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:57,359
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks safe for sure, um, But but yeah, I

97
00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 1: mean it's it's uh, we do other drills, you know,

98
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 1: to try and simulate it, you know, strip sacks and

99
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 1: stuff like that, you know, reaching the armount and all

100
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 1: those things, um, to try and simulate that as well.

101
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,599
Speaker 1: It sounds like timing of the past rush's going to

102
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 1: be kind of uh I guess uh rough in the

103
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 1: beginning there. So with that said, I mean, how have

104
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 1: you been kind of planning that timing so that you

105
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 1: know you're not having those false starts or nutrizone infections. Yeah,

106
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:33,840
Speaker 1: I think, Um, I think, I'm sorry, I don't really

107
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 1: know what you mean by timing. Timing In other words,

108
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 1: sometimes it looks like some of the past rushes are

109
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 1: based on you know, you guys are timing them, you know,

110
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 1: timing them off the snap and you know you're going

111
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 1: full speed. So you can't go full speedcause if you do,

112
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 1: there's you run the risk of you know, colliding into

113
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks. I'm just kind of wondering how you've been

114
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:56,159
Speaker 1: adjusting to that so that you're not getting into those

115
00:05:56,200 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 1: penalty situations. Yeah, I think, Um, especially when we run games, Um,

116
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 1: it's definitely definitely timing and steps and you know a

117
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:08,360
Speaker 1: lot of eye control and you know, being able to

118
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 1: get to the back of the tackle if you're running

119
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 1: a pick game or whatever it might be. But um,

120
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 1: we've been able to. I think that's where it's hardest

121
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:19,279
Speaker 1: is when we're kind of running those games to where

122
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:22,359
Speaker 1: we really need to finish hard like, and we're not

123
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:24,120
Speaker 1: able to kind of have to pull off because we

124
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:26,039
Speaker 1: don't want to run straight through the pocket and there's

125
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 1: not a lot of room to move when we run

126
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:32,479
Speaker 1: those kind of games. Um But again, I think you know,

127
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 1: we're we're able to do that. We're able to go

128
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 1: full go in uh in one on ones, which is good,

129
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:39,160
Speaker 1: and we do two on two's as well, so we're

130
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:41,720
Speaker 1: able to work the games where there's not an actual

131
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 1: quarterback that we just have like another offensive lineman back,

132
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 1: there is a reference point. Um. So I think the

133
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 1: one on ones is is really, I guess, the only

134
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 1: place where we can really finish the rush of the

135
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 1: way we want to
