1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:02,320
Speaker 1: I'd be able to be back on the field the

2
00:00:02,320 --> 00:00:04,640
Speaker 1: other night. I was exciting just to be able to

3
00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:08,280
Speaker 1: get um different players and not my own teammates. Was

4
00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:12,160
Speaker 1: there any any thought you were not gonna play, Not

5
00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:13,960
Speaker 1: that at all. I already made it clear that I

6
00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:18,480
Speaker 1: was gonna play. So arm did you ever think about it?

7
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:20,799
Speaker 1: Or you at the point now where you're it's just

8
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:25,200
Speaker 1: natural now this second nation, I'm not even pay attention

9
00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 1: to it. If anything happens to it, not pay attention

10
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:29,440
Speaker 1: to it. If you want to do kind of how

11
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:32,120
Speaker 1: it and if you get hold up into it, you know,

12
00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:34,559
Speaker 1: like I tried that between a guy or now. I

13
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:36,400
Speaker 1: tried it at practice every each and every time. So

14
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:38,400
Speaker 1: if it gut stuck between a guy a couple of

15
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:40,320
Speaker 1: times that practice, so once I took it out it

16
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 1: was good, then I knew it would be all right

17
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:44,599
Speaker 1: in the game. But it was only a few snaps.

18
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:47,159
Speaker 1: But based on what you saw from the starting defense

19
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:49,839
Speaker 1: on film, I mean, it's just defense taking shape the

20
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:53,800
Speaker 1: way you all expected into. Yes, all the guys are

21
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 1: tuned in, and um, we just we made a few

22
00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:59,040
Speaker 1: mistakes and we just correct those from those from the game.

23
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:01,640
Speaker 1: What happened, But out of this. Out of the twelve

24
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 1: plays we played, I think, uh, we did a good job.

25
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 1: And would you say the speed is where you wanted

26
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:09,399
Speaker 1: it today? I think we can play a little bit faster. Uh.

27
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:11,320
Speaker 1: You know, we didn't get into game planning against him,

28
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 1: so we just kind of just planned out basic defense

29
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 1: and just trying to make plays from that. Uh. The

30
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:19,919
Speaker 1: game plan and just made certain adjustments have been a different,

31
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 1: different outcome. I would say so until then, until we

32
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 1: get to the regular season. I see, I just planned

33
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:27,639
Speaker 1: at a normal speed till we get game playing against somebody.

34
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 1: Petchers talked about moving you all around. How can you

35
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 1: Pecher has talked about moving you all around? How involved

36
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 1: did you feel like you were and stopping the run?

37
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 1: I was pretty very I was very involved kinda. I

38
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:42,680
Speaker 1: mean you haven't moved it around this past this past

39
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 1: week yet. Uh, we just kind of in our normal

40
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 1: positions safety linebacker rolled in different ways, so we're not

41
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 1: moving around yet to the season. Yeah, how different has

42
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:54,640
Speaker 1: this camp been for you? Just having a different free

43
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 1: safety out there next year? Almost every day? Um, it's

44
00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:59,560
Speaker 1: been been the same since I've been here through all

45
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 1: three years, have been having another state the next to

46
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 1: me at three years, so it's normal. But do you

47
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 1: understand the new tackling a little? Yeah, putting the helmet down,

48
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:12,800
Speaker 1: and do you think it will be a problem this year? Honestly, Um,

49
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 1: there was a lot of heads down in the game.

50
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 1: It's just I think it's more open field when they

51
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:18,919
Speaker 1: want to see it. They want to be able to

52
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 1: protect yourself in you know, open field. Um, when it's

53
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 1: like in the cluttered situation, when it's a poll are

54
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:26,799
Speaker 1: between the tackles, you can't really see anything, so it's

55
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:30,079
Speaker 1: hard to it's hard to see. So I think it's

56
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 1: more open field tackling when they want to head up.

57
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:35,640
Speaker 1: Did you have to make a mental adjustment going into

58
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 1: myself and especially you're safety a lot of people coming

59
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 1: over the middle, there's not open space there. So no,

60
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:43,400
Speaker 1: I'm used to it. I always tackled in my head up,

61
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 1: so it's not it's not not to me because it's

62
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:50,680
Speaker 1: something that guys talked about a lot. DVA was prevalent

63
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 1: with you guys. We when they brought it up, Um,

64
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 1: what they tackling with the head down, we kind of

65
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 1: talked about it. Then when we watched the first game

66
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:00,160
Speaker 1: with the Ravens and um, I can't remember of the

67
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 1: team they played against. It was Raving somebody the Bears,

68
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:04,239
Speaker 1: and we watched how they was tackling. We saw a

69
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 1: lot of head down but not a flex. But we

70
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:08,639
Speaker 1: saw the open field tackle and hat the both heads

71
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 1: was down and they threw the flex. So it's like,

72
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 1: we see where they're gonna emphasize where they're doing to

73
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 1: flag out with the head down situation. They didn't. They

74
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 1: do the practice the choice familiar with that from the

75
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:24,080
Speaker 1: Giants matter. What is that, Mike? How is it different

76
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 1: than the tame honestly, because you're gonna get somebody different

77
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:28,800
Speaker 1: each and every day. Um, then you could kind of

78
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 1: like test at the team. I mean you could test

79
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 1: o the players and you're not going to get your

80
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 1: own players. You can finally get more aggressive, as you

81
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 1: say with other teammates. Has that become a fine line

82
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 1: where you have to where where you've got to getting

83
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 1: a little too chippy? Uh, it becomes a fine line.

84
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 1: But we're not We're veterans. We know what it is

85
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 1: and it means still preseason and we just want to

86
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 1: make it to the season. So we know where it

87
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 1: gets there and where it gets there and not when

88
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 1: to get there. So we figure it out when we

89
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 1: get the what have you seen from the safety position

90
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 1: next to you? Guys are rotating anybody? A lot of guys,

91
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 1: I mean, all the guys that play next to stand out.

92
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 1: I got one guy that's that just make all the

93
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 1: calls one guy, UM, make sure we all in the

94
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:16,360
Speaker 1: right adjustments. I mean all the guys making great decisions,

95
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:19,360
Speaker 1: make great movements, and um and fighting for the job.

96
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 1: So I'm excited for those guys. And I know any

97
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 1: whatever safe did that plays next to me, it's gonna

98
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:27,600
Speaker 1: definitely give me the a one um job. How important

99
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:31,279
Speaker 1: communication when there's all those different guys, communications the biggest

100
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 1: key on his defense. Honestly, Um, we've got so many

101
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:36,279
Speaker 1: adjustments and views and key points and what we gotta

102
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 1: look at and stuff like That's the communication is the

103
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 1: biggest thing on the defense, not just with safety wise,

104
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,159
Speaker 1: with corn, the safety linebackers. We've got to get the

105
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 1: whole thing adjusted to make sure we all on the

106
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:48,680
Speaker 1: same page. Lennon, I understand it's just a preseason game,

107
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:51,280
Speaker 1: but you were in the last four years when opposing

108
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:55,279
Speaker 1: tight ends had big games against the Giants, didn't didn't

109
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:57,280
Speaker 1: make anything of the fact that they're tight end had

110
00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:01,720
Speaker 1: two touchdens. No, I'll making no tenants. I'm no. I

111
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:03,159
Speaker 1: mean they had a good they had a good game

112
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 1: at that time. It was in his own coverage when

113
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,280
Speaker 1: they when they when they scored. I mean, so at

114
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 1: that time they did they did a good job. We

115
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 1: have this defense. You don't have a lot of guys

116
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 1: who have the history of getting a lot of sense right,

117
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 1: but after seeing what you've seen just summer with the defense,

118
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:24,240
Speaker 1: what makes you convinced that you guys can have a

119
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 1: sufficious enship, consistent caship honestly, because we're sending five and

120
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:30,160
Speaker 1: they don't. I mean a lot of a lot of teams.

121
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:32,720
Speaker 1: As I watched the Cardinals and I watched ourselves, not

122
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:35,360
Speaker 1: many teams know where we're coming from. Um, we make

123
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:37,160
Speaker 1: everything were like man, so you never know who were

124
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:40,920
Speaker 1: man or were in his own coverage. So and then um,

125
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 1: this past game, I came free three times, so I

126
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 1: was like, if we just make sure we hold them

127
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 1: for two more seconds to sack, you know. So, uh,

128
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:53,040
Speaker 1: with those open, wide open tackles and stuff like that,

129
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 1: I think and with coach betch defense, I think we're

130
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:57,920
Speaker 1: gonna have a lot of sex this dB wise, dB wise,

131
00:05:57,960 --> 00:05:59,679
Speaker 1: non Becka wise, it's gonna be very open
