1 00:00:02,759 --> 00:00:15,320 Speaker 1: Jim. I mean, he's doing great. He's the cerebral players, 2 00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:17,880 Speaker 1: you know, so he's able to go inside and outside. 3 00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:20,240 Speaker 1: And he's one of those guys that they came up 4 00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:22,760 Speaker 1: the hardware, you know, free agent, undrafted, So he just 5 00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:25,760 Speaker 1: does whatever the team asked, and he goes out there 6 00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:27,640 Speaker 1: and does it to his best ability, and more times 7 00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:32,960 Speaker 1: than not he thrives at it. It was good to 8 00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:36,239 Speaker 1: go against another team, you know. Uh, the offense, they 9 00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:38,239 Speaker 1: have great players on that side. Of course, they got 10 00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:41,240 Speaker 1: two quarterbacks that that can really take over the team, 11 00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:43,879 Speaker 1: you know, and and they got some playmakers outside and 12 00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:47,320 Speaker 1: you obviously can't forget about McCaffrey. So it was good 13 00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:50,200 Speaker 1: competition on our side. I can't speak for the other side, 14 00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:52,800 Speaker 1: but uh, just being able to go against somebody else. 15 00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:56,440 Speaker 1: We've been practicing against ourselves for like two or three weeks, 16 00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:58,400 Speaker 1: and you know, we really didn't get to play in 17 00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:02,120 Speaker 1: the game. It's now having that opportunity to test what 18 00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:04,640 Speaker 1: you have against somebody else. It felt good to do that. 19 00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:11,679 Speaker 1: You know, we talked about it. We talked about it 20 00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:15,240 Speaker 1: and move on. You know, that's a conversation for another day. 21 00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:17,640 Speaker 1: And I'm pretty sure you know, Bill to talk to 22 00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:19,440 Speaker 1: you guys about that, but we talk about it and 23 00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:25,280 Speaker 1: move on. Sometimes things like this you get more out 24 00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:27,360 Speaker 1: of than the actual games that you can play. Like 25 00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:31,600 Speaker 1: do you agree with that for two days against them? Definitely, 26 00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:33,840 Speaker 1: just because it's reps. It's all about reps. You're going 27 00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:38,119 Speaker 1: against their best for sometimes toil plays straight and when 28 00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:40,120 Speaker 1: you get into a game, you know somebody might make 29 00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:41,800 Speaker 1: a play here, somebody might make a play there, and 30 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:44,680 Speaker 1: you never really get that action. But you know at practice, 31 00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,520 Speaker 1: if the offense runs one hundred and twenty plays, whatever 32 00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:50,960 Speaker 1: it may be, you know that you're gonna get some 33 00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:54,440 Speaker 1: type of matchups outside of that. So like it personally, 34 00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:57,920 Speaker 1: Like I like going against other teams because you know, 35 00:01:58,160 --> 00:01:59,920 Speaker 1: now you get to see what you you've really had. 36 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:02,200 Speaker 1: Now you get to see like, Okay, how do I 37 00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:06,040 Speaker 1: match up against somebody else? And what have they been doing? What? What? 38 00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:07,720 Speaker 1: What are they doing that I could work on? So 39 00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:14,240 Speaker 1: I particularly like these days got his hands with three passes? Yeah, 40 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:16,839 Speaker 1: what are you seeing behind the scenes so we can't 41 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:21,240 Speaker 1: see what he's uh? Just confidence, confidence in his work ethic. 42 00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:23,200 Speaker 1: You know he wants to be able to take that 43 00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:25,720 Speaker 1: next step and be the guy. And he carries himself 44 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:28,000 Speaker 1: like that, and he came in last year and he 45 00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:31,359 Speaker 1: played well for us, and now you know, we move 46 00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:34,400 Speaker 1: on from from j c JC goes out to the 47 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:37,680 Speaker 1: West Coast and now it's like, well, you know it's 48 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:40,239 Speaker 1: Jalen and he's he's stepping into the role and he's 49 00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:42,800 Speaker 1: doing his thing and he's out there. He's confident and 50 00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:45,959 Speaker 1: he's locked in every single day. Like That's one thing 51 00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:49,560 Speaker 1: nobody can say about Jay Mills is that like he 52 00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:51,600 Speaker 1: took a day off, because he's never taken a day off. 53 00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:53,280 Speaker 1: Every time we get out here, he comes out here 54 00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:56,680 Speaker 1: and says championship defense, championship mindset, Like he's locked in 55 00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:58,480 Speaker 1: and you can see it in his eyes. So it 56 00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:02,480 Speaker 1: sounds like a lot of like cooler that. I mean, 57 00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:04,799 Speaker 1: you know, I ain't making it, Yeah, I ain't making 58 00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:08,640 Speaker 1: another decisions, but he's out there like if it's time, 59 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:10,080 Speaker 1: if it's time to go, he wants to be the 60 00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:18,239 Speaker 1: guy that they call on. So yeah, he's been he's 61 00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:21,400 Speaker 1: been doing awesome, Like he's been growing since he's been 62 00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:23,120 Speaker 1: out there. You know, he really didn't get the practice 63 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:25,160 Speaker 1: too much last year just because he was battling the 64 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:28,160 Speaker 1: risks and battling injuries, and you never know how that's 65 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:32,959 Speaker 1: gonna affect a young guy because it's pivotal for those 66 00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:35,200 Speaker 1: guys to be able to get them reps and gain 67 00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:38,160 Speaker 1: that confidence with each rep that they get. And he 68 00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:39,720 Speaker 1: wasn't able to get that last year. And then he 69 00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:42,520 Speaker 1: came in here and OTAs went crazy, and then he's 70 00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:45,160 Speaker 1: out here in camp and he's moving around, well, he's 71 00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:47,520 Speaker 1: he's bawling, and he's the guy that wants to learn. 72 00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:49,800 Speaker 1: And that's the main thing that I always look for 73 00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:52,240 Speaker 1: a young guy, like are you willing to be coach? 74 00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:54,920 Speaker 1: Are you willing to learn? Like if if me dad, 75 00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:57,160 Speaker 1: or if somebody older comes up and tell you a 76 00:03:58,200 --> 00:03:59,880 Speaker 1: if you do this, this and this, it might work 77 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:01,760 Speaker 1: out better for you. Are you a guy that's like, 78 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,400 Speaker 1: all right, I'll hear you, or are you really soaking 79 00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:09,360 Speaker 1: it in? And he soaks it in? He's a sponge 80 00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:20,240 Speaker 1: really practice side feel like time. No, not even a 81 00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 1: little bit, like you know, we don't really we ain't 82 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,000 Speaker 1: with all the raw raw stuff and stuff like that. 83 00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:27,520 Speaker 1: It looks good in front of the fans, but we 84 00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:30,279 Speaker 1: just out here to practice. So I don't, like I said, 85 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:32,680 Speaker 1: I can't speak for what they were doing on this side. 86 00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:35,440 Speaker 1: But we're all about business on our side, so I 87 00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:38,080 Speaker 1: can't tell you about all the screaming and stuff like that. 88 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:39,680 Speaker 1: But when we turn on the film, we're gonna see 89 00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:41,840 Speaker 1: what the film look like and then we'll know who 90 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:43,839 Speaker 1: on the day or not. But we ain't listening to 91 00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,520 Speaker 1: all that that yelling and stuff. We don't care about that. 92 00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:56,000 Speaker 1: Very competitive especially it feels great because I mean that's 93 00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:57,800 Speaker 1: what it's gonna be in the game. Sometimes when you 94 00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:01,160 Speaker 1: go into those hostile environments, whether it may be Buffalo 95 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:03,880 Speaker 1: or something like that, Like you know, it's just gonna 96 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:07,120 Speaker 1: be the guys on that field, and you need your 97 00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:09,000 Speaker 1: guys on the sideline to kind of emp you up 98 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,560 Speaker 1: a little bit. So we just we put it on 99 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:13,880 Speaker 1: each other, you know. Uh, we want to make sure 100 00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:17,039 Speaker 1: everybody comes out there with the Jews and none of 101 00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:19,320 Speaker 1: that faked yous. Just a confidence like when you when 102 00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:22,000 Speaker 1: you vote confidence and when you have that real confidence 103 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,240 Speaker 1: and the stuff that you're doing, the juice comes with it. 104 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:27,520 Speaker 1: So you can see that out there today mentioned a 105 00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:29,160 Speaker 1: couple of minutes. You always felt like you guys were 106 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:31,360 Speaker 1: voting seven new defenses. He hadn't seen you know their 107 00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:32,839 Speaker 1: offense hasn't seen yet, and I know a couple of 108 00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:35,000 Speaker 1: your offensive teammates said, hey, you guys are giving a 109 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:36,960 Speaker 1: ton of ups to set. I know it's not unusual 110 00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 1: we multiple this defense, but this can't. Does it feel 111 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,479 Speaker 1: like you're opening up more chapters or one or two 112 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:45,000 Speaker 1: more than normal with a yeah, I can't really get 113 00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:48,440 Speaker 1: two in depth with it. But just know that we 114 00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:49,960 Speaker 1: got a lot of players that can do a lot 115 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,400 Speaker 1: of things and it works out well for us. So 116 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:58,320 Speaker 1: that's all I'm gonna say about that. Conversations we're able 117 00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:01,479 Speaker 1: to point on these. So with individual girls, we got 118 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:06,840 Speaker 1: get over there. M M. It's one thing with its 119 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:15,159 Speaker 1: team for an individual girls, because sometimes fake individual drills 120 00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:26,719 Speaker 1: like individuals, you would say, I'm not in Senua, ain't nothing. 121 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:28,760 Speaker 1: You know what they do over there is what they 122 00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:30,800 Speaker 1: do is if that's how they get crunk, and they 123 00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:32,560 Speaker 1: practice and that's how they get crunk. I'm not in 124 00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:34,800 Speaker 1: senuor ain't nothing because I'm not over there. But I'm 125 00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:38,880 Speaker 1: all I'm saying is just like you know, we definitely 126 00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,480 Speaker 1: have guys on our team that that do ra RA 127 00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:43,600 Speaker 1: and stuff like that, but more times than not, we're 128 00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:45,920 Speaker 1: just worried about what we do inside the lines? What 129 00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:49,040 Speaker 1: are we doing when they blow them whistles from the 130 00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:50,960 Speaker 1: first whistles, I mean from the first whistle to the 131 00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:53,240 Speaker 1: last whistle, Like what what are we doing? Like are 132 00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:56,039 Speaker 1: we out there playing? Are are we? Are we really 133 00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:57,920 Speaker 1: about that that? Like that's what we're gonna see. So 134 00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:01,760 Speaker 1: I ain't in SEENU way nothing. I don't know what appreciate. Yeah, 135 00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:16,680 Speaker 1: so I don't. Yeah, on your specific takeaway practice, You're like, Okay, 136 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:21,720 Speaker 1: I still want to Yeah. I think the main thing 137 00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,640 Speaker 1: is like you have different parts of practices that you're 138 00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:27,440 Speaker 1: working on, like something specific every single time. So like 139 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,720 Speaker 1: when you're doing one on ones, it's all man coverage obviously, 140 00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:32,560 Speaker 1: Like when you're in the team periods, you're working on 141 00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:36,200 Speaker 1: your eyes, U, the contact gear, running to the ball, 142 00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:38,720 Speaker 1: stuff like that. If if you had a passwords drill, 143 00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:41,040 Speaker 1: you're working on your password. So like you just take 144 00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:44,920 Speaker 1: little points, like little bits from from each part of 145 00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:48,000 Speaker 1: practice that we do. So like today my takeaway for 146 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:51,640 Speaker 1: my man coverage in one on one, I might want 147 00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:53,000 Speaker 1: to be a little more patient. And then when we 148 00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:55,720 Speaker 1: get into the team drill. After I watched the film, Okay, 149 00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:58,360 Speaker 1: I dissect that and I say, Okay, well I could 150 00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:01,960 Speaker 1: be a little more aggressive here, so I don't. You 151 00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:05,000 Speaker 1: might take away just one thing sometimes, but like for 152 00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:07,360 Speaker 1: me specifically, I'm able to take away like a few 153 00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:10,080 Speaker 1: things here and there because like I break up practice 154 00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:13,080 Speaker 1: in between each period, like for special teams. Okay, I 155 00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:15,880 Speaker 1: might want to block this a little different, so I 156 00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:19,280 Speaker 1: take I definitely take away stuff from like practicing against 157 00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:21,520 Speaker 1: other people, because when you go against the same person 158 00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:23,120 Speaker 1: for three weeks, you kind of know how they act. 159 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:25,040 Speaker 1: Like I know how Slate it's gonna play, I know 160 00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:27,679 Speaker 1: how Cody's gonna play. But when we're going against those guys, 161 00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:30,400 Speaker 1: like it's a new matchup and it's a new mentality 162 00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:32,680 Speaker 1: and I don't know what they're gonna do. So once 163 00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:36,040 Speaker 1: I figure that out, it's like, Okay, there's something new 164 00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:37,640 Speaker 1: that I could hit. There's a new technique that I 165 00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:40,280 Speaker 1: could work on. Thank you guys,
