1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, sorry about that. Steve. How are you this morning?

2
00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:04,120
Speaker 1: I'm good.

3
00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:04,560
Speaker 2: How are you?

4
00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:08,440
Speaker 1: I'm doing well. I wanted to ask you about your

5
00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:12,680
Speaker 1: relationship with Girod and I noticed when talking defensive players

6
00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:15,400
Speaker 1: a lot of times they kind of group you two together.

7
00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:18,360
Speaker 1: What what what sort of makes it work with you

8
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:20,720
Speaker 1: two guys and be able to sort of get the

9
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:24,000
Speaker 1: message across but from two different people to the group.

10
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:31,280
Speaker 2: Well, I'll start with the second part of the question.

11
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:34,400
Speaker 2: I don't know what the how we get the message across.

12
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:38,080
Speaker 2: I think we're we're different, but see a lot of

13
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:42,440
Speaker 2: things the same. So going back to how we we

14
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:45,839
Speaker 2: work together, I think we've always worked well together. We

15
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:48,680
Speaker 2: have a long, you know, long relationship back when he

16
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 2: was a player and I was a young coach and

17
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:54,440
Speaker 2: then you know, he left football for a little bit

18
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:56,480
Speaker 2: and then came back and we've been working together since

19
00:00:56,880 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 2: I was in twenty nineteen. Yeah, I think that we just,

20
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:04,080
Speaker 2: you know, we try and be positive a lot, trying

21
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 2: to have a good time, but we also there's you know,

22
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 2: you got to be serious. We're here to do a job.

23
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 2: But at the same time, I think we both feel

24
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:14,800
Speaker 2: like not speaking for him, but that you know, if

25
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 2: you kind of make learning fun, make this stuff fun,

26
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 2: then you can get a little bit more out of

27
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 2: guys than you know when you come in here and

28
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:23,920
Speaker 2: you know, it feels like there's a rain cloud over

29
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:26,039
Speaker 2: your head. We try and you know, bring a little bit,

30
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 2: a little bit of positive energy. And like I was saying,

31
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 2: I think that we just you know, bounce ideas off

32
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 2: each other where we see it the same, but we've

33
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:41,200
Speaker 2: reboliged differently. But yeah, I love love working with drug.

34
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 2: I love working with everybody on the defensive staff. But yeah,

35
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 2: it's a it's a unique relationship, but it's also you know,

36
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 2: it's fun every day.

37
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 1: What what have what have you learned from him? Like

38
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm sure you've taught him things because you

39
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 1: were coaching before he got into it. What what have

40
00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 1: you been able to take from him and his side

41
00:01:58,760 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 1: of things?

42
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 2: I think just being able to you know, I have

43
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 2: a very transparent relationship with him and him being such

44
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 2: a good player, you know, being able to like I'm

45
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:15,800
Speaker 2: not afraid to ask him, you know, any questions. So

46
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 2: why did you do stuff like this? How do you

47
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:21,079
Speaker 2: handle stuff like that? And I think that that applies

48
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 2: on and off the field. You know, people say, like

49
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 2: time to be a professional or grow up and become

50
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:30,799
Speaker 2: a professional. I thought he did, you know, a really

51
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 2: good job of that observing him. I wasn't working here,

52
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 2: but you know, when he was a rookie, he was

53
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:37,920
Speaker 2: rookie the year and all that stuff, So not just

54
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 2: in terms of playing on the field, but how you

55
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:43,360
Speaker 2: operate as a as a man and as a father

56
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 2: and all those things. So yeah, I try and I try,

57
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,920
Speaker 2: and you know, put all those pieces together, because you know,

58
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 2: we're in the building a lot, especially during the season,

59
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 2: but how do you do how do you do things

60
00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:00,360
Speaker 2: in the offseason, how do you improve on things? What

61
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 2: do you focus on improving on or how how do

62
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 2: you identify the things you want to improve on? And

63
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 2: so I think all that stuff, putting all those pieces

64
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 2: together is important because obviously what we're doing here is

65
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 2: you know, the bulk of everything and what everybody sees

66
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 2: or evaluates as long, but you know, once you go

67
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 2: home and what you do at home and all that

68
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 2: stuff I think is important. And I'm not afraid to

69
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:26,519
Speaker 2: ask him, and he's always honest with me, which I

70
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 2: always appreciate.

71
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:29,639
Speaker 1: Honestly, Thanks Steve. I appreciate it.

72
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 2: Thank you.

73
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 1: Okay, well go to Evan Lazard. Go ahead, Evan, Hey, Steve,

74
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 1: how you doing good? Are you good? I just wanted

75
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 1: to ask you about Anthony Jennings and where you've seen

76
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 1: his biggest you know, leap forward here been playing you know,

77
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 1: some pretty good football for you guys this season.

78
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's put a lot of good football for us.

79
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 2: You know, I just think he's had more opportunities. He

80
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 2: gave us a lot of really good snaps last year.

81
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 2: He's just been and been playing more. But you know,

82
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 2: he's a consistent player. You kind of know what you get.

83
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 2: You know what you get with him, and I love

84
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 2: his style of play, his intelligence, his awareness, all that stuff.

85
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 2: I'm not really surprised by, you know, how he's been playing.

86
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 2: But I would say that, you know, the more opportunities

87
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 2: you get, the more you're out there, the bigger sample

88
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 2: sizes for people to look at. So we've been watching

89
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 2: him for a while, we've had him in the building

90
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:30,479
Speaker 2: for a while, so I'm not surprised by it. But

91
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:34,160
Speaker 2: I'm happy that he's getting getting recognized because he deserves it.

92
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 2: He works hard, He's a really good football player. Awesome,

93
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:40,279
Speaker 2: Thank you, thanks
