Speaker 1: Hey, Marcus, Hey, the coming off last season, you guys
Speaker 1: obviously almost almost make the playoffs. What are your what
Speaker 1: are your expectations for this team in sixteen? Uh, the
Speaker 1: show some time of improvement from last year. I think
Speaker 1: we did a lot of good things last year. I
Speaker 1: think it was some things that we can improve on.
Speaker 1: And that's what we're gonna try and focus for on
Speaker 1: this year, is making those improvements. Marcus, what's the mood today?
Speaker 1: You know, with everybody getting nights together. Uh, you know
Speaker 1: you were the first day. It's kind of like the
Speaker 1: first day of school. You know, everybody's kind of everybody's
Speaker 1: happy to see you. So we talk about what they've
Speaker 1: done in the off season and families and things alan
Speaker 1: things of that nature. Marcus, did you guys talk about today?
Speaker 1: You know the fact that Ryan Fitzpatrick is still unsigned
Speaker 1: and now isn't there with him. Uh, we just wear
Speaker 1: about football. Everything Uh that goes on with during players back,
Speaker 1: We leave that up the stairs. We just we just
Speaker 1: played football. And Marcus, how do you think the secondary
Speaker 1: will absorb the loss of GRAMARTI? Uh, even if you
Speaker 1: have a guy that magnitude, that guy has been playing
Speaker 1: for a long time. And play at a high level
Speaker 1: for uh for so long. Um, you know, I think
Speaker 1: you're gonna miss You're gonna miss some things there, but
Speaker 1: uh grow was Uh he left a lot of good
Speaker 1: gyms with with us as as general players. We've learned
Speaker 1: a lot from from a lot of the things he did,
Speaker 1: not just on the field, but off the field. So
Speaker 1: I think that will that will help us move forward.
Speaker 1: How is that leading? And if he's still in the
Speaker 1: cat I mean that's that's sort of the the trainers
Speaker 1: who as a coach to too speak upon that. Marcus.
Speaker 1: When you look at Boster screen and he played obviously
Speaker 1: most of the slot last year, a little bit of outside.
Speaker 1: What did you see from him that leads you to
Speaker 1: believe he could be a successful full time guy outside corner?
Speaker 1: Uh just put it on the film of Cleveland before
Speaker 1: you got here. Played outside, moved inside when he went
Speaker 1: to third down. Uh, it's just so happened. We had
Speaker 1: uh to premarities and revis So he was more of
Speaker 1: a nickel guy. But you know, there's no doubt you
Speaker 1: can play it is It's been proven, Marcus. You were
Speaker 1: probably pretty happy when they signed Jarvis Jenkins. You guys
Speaker 1: go back aways. Did you describe your you know, how
Speaker 1: close you guys are in your relationship? Yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: obviously when you live with a life for four years
Speaker 1: in college, you want to have a uh close relationship
Speaker 1: be actually Uh how doser in the same complies now
Speaker 1: and you know we still we work out with each
Speaker 1: other in the off season, and we travel together in
Speaker 1: the off season. Our families are still closed. Our families communicate. Um,
Speaker 1: I go to his camps, he comes to my camps's
Speaker 1: Uh that's that's a solid team of your relationship. When
Speaker 1: you say you live together in college, do you guys?
Speaker 1: You mean you guys literally roommates literally roommates four for
Speaker 1: four years. Oh and what kind of player that Jet's
Speaker 1: getting in? I think Jones is real versatile. I think
Speaker 1: he's a guy that has the power to be able
Speaker 1: to be stout, take on double teams and stopped the run.
Speaker 1: But he's kind of built. He's kind of built where
Speaker 1: the nobody as isn't as big for he has sort
Speaker 1: of he has the quickness of of a mind backer
Speaker 1: and good feed up the mind backer. Uh and which
Speaker 1: I think helpfully with his passing rush. Marcus, you were
Speaker 1: considered I guess in a way, it's hot, Boles said,
Speaker 1: as Mike and Kagan said it kind of that quarterback
Speaker 1: at the secondary year ago. Going in now to year
Speaker 1: two within this defense again, do you feel even more
Speaker 1: comfortable in a way that you can now take that
Speaker 1: leadership role to just another level. Yeah. I think every
Speaker 1: time you've done something, you've done something for the first time,
Speaker 1: you have no choice but to get better. You learned
Speaker 1: from the things you did the previous year, um and
Speaker 1: you hope to improve upon them and usually you do so,
Speaker 1: uh you know, hopefully I can take it to the
Speaker 1: next levelm I just want to be uh improved in
Speaker 1: every aspect of my game, and that's what I'm trying
Speaker 1: to look to do every year.
