1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:05,760
Speaker 1: Good. What would like to get out there? It was good.

2
00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:08,680
Speaker 1: I thought both sides of the ball about physicality. Uh.

3
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:10,799
Speaker 2: I think a big, big emphasis for us this year

4
00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:12,840
Speaker 2: running the ball and stopping a run. So I think

5
00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:15,920
Speaker 2: it starts today with the physicality.

6
00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:20,239
Speaker 1: I want to be able to you know Chris, you know, it's.

7
00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:22,439
Speaker 2: The thought with him, and uh, yeah, I don't know

8
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:24,079
Speaker 2: too much in detail about it. I know what the

9
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:26,200
Speaker 2: team released and uh we kind of talked about it

10
00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:27,880
Speaker 2: as a team, just praying for him and what he's

11
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:30,720
Speaker 2: going through. Obviously he's a big part of this defense,

12
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:34,080
Speaker 2: and uh it's up to us in the D line

13
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:36,120
Speaker 2: to kind of step up and do what we need

14
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:36,400
Speaker 2: to do.

15
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 1: I don't think we need a superhero.

16
00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:40,000
Speaker 2: I just think we need guys that could do their

17
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:41,479
Speaker 2: job and do it to the best of their ability.

18
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:43,440
Speaker 1: I guess is it about when you said that, like

19
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:45,320
Speaker 1: not trying to do too much, not trying to be

20
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:48,240
Speaker 1: a Christian you know yourself. Yeah, just play your game,

21
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:50,280
Speaker 1: whatever your abilities are and what you're good at. It.

22
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 2: Just focused on that. Don't try to go out there

23
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 2: and be Christian and you know, do something you're not

24
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 2: used to. Like I said, I think coach J's doing

25
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 2: a good job of getting us ready.

26
00:00:57,560 --> 00:00:59,280
Speaker 1: I think we'll be fine. And do you think you

27
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 1: in the room just kind of handled for news that's

28
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 1: kind of a shocking pigure here.

29
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it was. It was tough just to

30
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 2: lose a guy like that out of nowhere. But like

31
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 2: I said, we're all praying for him, and I think,

32
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:10,959
Speaker 2: you know, it's always the next guy of mentality.

33
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 1: So you know, whoever gets that opportunity, you know, it's

34
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:15,200
Speaker 1: they got to make the best of it. Him it

35
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 1: was a mess differ him a practice.

36
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 2: Uh, just being consistent, Uh, you know, kind of getting

37
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 2: tho jitterbugs out, you know how it is everybody the

38
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:22,759
Speaker 2: first day pass.

39
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 1: Uh.

40
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 2: Now that that's out the way, you know, we got

41
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 2: things he's trying to accomplish this year, and so we

42
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 2: got to dial in and focus and make sure we

43
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:30,400
Speaker 2: do the little things.

44
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:37,760
Speaker 1: Good journey, Christian. How much of a chance in your

45
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 1: good to know there? Uh quite a bit.

46
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:42,199
Speaker 2: I mean he was here pretty much of the spring,

47
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:43,960
Speaker 2: and uh, you know, I think as a room we

48
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 2: were able to get close.

49
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 1: Uh, we bonded a lot.

50
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 2: So like I said, all be in communication with him

51
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 2: as much as possible, checking in on him and seeing

52
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 2: how he's doing, and uh, you know, just kind of

53
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 2: supporting him.

54
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 1: He knows there's a messages paying social media, did you

55
00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 1: guys hear from him at already?

56
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 2: Purpose? But I know as a d line, we kind

57
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 2: of texted him in the group chat and kind of

58
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 2: just you know, wish him the best and you know,

59
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 2: we'll we'll treat him just like he's still here in

60
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 2: the building with us.

61
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:10,119
Speaker 1: Is Devon y'all a guy that you look to maybe

62
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:11,520
Speaker 1: a little bit more as a udo or something.

63
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean he's always been one of those old

64
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:15,679
Speaker 2: events and uh, he's really good at what he does,

65
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 2: so I'm always trying to pick his brain and you know,

66
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 2: kind of apply to my game. And so yeah, I'm

67
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 2: excited to learn from him this year and see what

68
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:22,639
Speaker 2: he can.

69
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:23,080
Speaker 1: Help me do.

70
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 2: Franger to contract disputing things, So if you haven't sit

71
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 2: down today, what if that he in fact does that

72
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 2: have on you or defensive front? Uh, I don't know

73
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 2: too much about the contract details, but I know we're

74
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 2: a better team when he's on the field, So you know,

75
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 2: whatever the case may be, I'm always hoping.

76
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 1: He gets back as fast as possible. Paramount of the situation.

77
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:51,960
Speaker 1: But you guys play silar position for Uh.

78
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:53,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I've been in this position before. When I

79
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 2: was in Minnesota, Mike Pierce got hurt. I had to

80
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:59,679
Speaker 2: step up, and you know, I took advantage of the opportunity.

81
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 2: I think I like five sects that season, so I

82
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 2: kind of know what it takes to, you know, be

83
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:05,639
Speaker 2: that next guy up, and uh, I'm ready for the challenge.

84
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 1: Like I said, I'm not. It's not new to me.

85
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 1: So that's the process of integrating into this defense going

86
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:14,080
Speaker 1: for it's good.

87
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 2: We got a lot of looks, a lot of different

88
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:20,080
Speaker 2: looks within one call. You know, it's not necessarily a

89
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:22,239
Speaker 2: complex defense, but it's it's really good on what they

90
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:23,800
Speaker 2: do with us, and I'm excited.

91
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 1: You know.

92
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 2: You definitely got to learn the playbook and be on

93
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 2: your p's and q's with it.

94
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 1: Can you look around and see just talk good you guys,

95
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 1: especially the defensively. Oh yeah, I was.

96
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 2: We played uh New England last year when I was

97
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 2: in Pittsburgh, and uh, I think one thing that stood

98
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 2: I was the defense and actually being a part of

99
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 2: it now I kind of see why they are so

100
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 2: good and the pieces we got around so you know,

101
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 2: I think the sky's are limit for us, and the

102
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 2: pieces we got in this defense are.

103
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 1: Tough for us to see the one on ones from

104
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 1: this partway obviously. Could you take it through a couple

105
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 1: of year reps?

106
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 2: Uh, yeah, I mean it's always that first day. You know,

107
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 2: you got to pass on, so you kind of established

108
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 2: trying to establish some power, so uh, you know, power

109
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 2: was gonna set you up with everything else, so just

110
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 2: kind of getting used to that, you know, physicality, and

111
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 2: you know some were good, some are bad, but you

112
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 2: know that's the first day.

113
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 1: We'll always bounce back here that first day all pull

114
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 1: padded practice.

115
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 2: For you guys, Uh, for me, when you've been in

116
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 2: the league a little while, you kind of is just

117
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 2: another day. I always look at it like, you know,

118
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 2: football is always easier when it passes on. It's kind

119
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,280
Speaker 2: of harder when you're not being able to do certain things.

120
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 2: So you know, it's always fun you can go out

121
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 2: there and forll pass and kind of thump around and

122
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 2: do some of the things you'd like to do.

123
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 1: So thank you.
