1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:00,600 Speaker 1: Gerald. 2 00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:02,520 Speaker 2: I had a couple of things here, but I wanted 3 00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:04,400 Speaker 2: to see, is there anything you want to lead off 4 00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:05,920 Speaker 2: with before I fire away? 5 00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:08,800 Speaker 3: You know, honestly, I think the guys came in prepared, 6 00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:12,960 Speaker 3: they're working hard, very appreciative of that, and and honestly 7 00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:16,320 Speaker 3: they came back in shape ready to rock. So obviously 8 00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:18,400 Speaker 3: a day by day thing, but right now I feel 9 00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:19,479 Speaker 3: like we're on the right track. 10 00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:21,280 Speaker 1: I had the two things. 11 00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:24,720 Speaker 2: Thank you for that. So there have been years going 12 00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:27,520 Speaker 2: back to eight when you first got here as a player, 13 00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:31,640 Speaker 2: where the first live tackling or live goal line would 14 00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:34,239 Speaker 2: be like the first preseason game. And then there have 15 00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:37,680 Speaker 2: been other years where like this year, where I'm like, oh. 16 00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:41,199 Speaker 1: They're going live. You know, like what what tell me? 17 00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:43,080 Speaker 1: What's the thinking there? You know this year? 18 00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:46,239 Speaker 3: Yeah, I would say since I've been here it even 19 00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:48,879 Speaker 3: as a player, we always had like one period of 20 00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:52,240 Speaker 3: live goal line, like that's always been you know, that's 21 00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:54,640 Speaker 3: always been in place. But you're exactly right, if you 22 00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:58,320 Speaker 3: look at the season and look at just the tackling 23 00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:00,880 Speaker 3: or I should have say mistackles, you have to start 24 00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:04,440 Speaker 3: doing that before you get to game one, And honestly, 25 00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:07,319 Speaker 3: the only way you get better at tackling is tackling. 26 00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:09,959 Speaker 3: So that's what we're trying to Uh, that's what we're 27 00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:11,840 Speaker 3: trying to get these guys to do. And like I said, 28 00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:14,479 Speaker 3: they're developing. We're in camp and they're doing a good job. 29 00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,119 Speaker 2: And I just wanted to follow up on one other thing, 30 00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:20,600 Speaker 2: different topic from yesterday. You know, we're watching up in 31 00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:23,200 Speaker 2: the media tent, and you know, there's hard to keep 32 00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:26,320 Speaker 2: track of everything. But obviously you probably saw like Jack 33 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,480 Speaker 2: made a play on the sideline or was something happened 34 00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:30,800 Speaker 2: and he left practice? 35 00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:34,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, and then he came back. What happened there at Jera? 36 00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:36,160 Speaker 1: What can Yeah? 37 00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:39,080 Speaker 3: You know, I honestly, you know, I don't even really 38 00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:40,240 Speaker 3: want to talk about yesterday. 39 00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:41,840 Speaker 1: Just kind of move forward. I hate to give you 40 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:46,759 Speaker 1: that answer, but as Pelagrina or coach, right, Thanks Jrea, 41 00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:49,560 Speaker 1: Thanks mine and God. 42 00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:53,200 Speaker 4: Next question my Giatti, please, mister. 43 00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,680 Speaker 5: Mayle, Well, how about what you've seen from from Jack 44 00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:57,720 Speaker 5: to this point in camp. 45 00:01:58,560 --> 00:01:59,960 Speaker 1: Look, every day he's getting better. 46 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,160 Speaker 3: There is no secret that he's a very good athlete, 47 00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:04,520 Speaker 3: and you know, he can do a lot of different things, 48 00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:06,200 Speaker 3: and honestly, he's a tough guy. 49 00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:08,440 Speaker 1: Smart. 50 00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:11,760 Speaker 3: Hopefully you know, we continue this trajectory as far as 51 00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:13,640 Speaker 3: is on the field play and. 52 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:16,359 Speaker 5: What have you seen from Juwan Bentley obviously got the 53 00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:18,920 Speaker 5: nice contract extension of the offseason. It just seems like 54 00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:22,240 Speaker 5: the more he's here, the more comfortable he is in 55 00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:24,800 Speaker 5: his own skin, dealing with us, talking to teammates, like 56 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,280 Speaker 5: he's really taken over that, at least from the outside 57 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:28,600 Speaker 5: looking in that leadership role. 58 00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:32,000 Speaker 3: No, absolutely, you know how I feel about Bentley. Comes 59 00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:34,920 Speaker 3: to work every day in the weight room, out on 60 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:37,160 Speaker 3: the field, he's not too good to do, you know, 61 00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:40,359 Speaker 3: some of the drills as those veteran players sometimes get 62 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,000 Speaker 3: get to. But I would say the thing about Bentley 63 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,440 Speaker 3: that's impressed me is just to see the development over 64 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:46,440 Speaker 3: the years and this. 65 00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:48,960 Speaker 1: Guy, I said it before on record, I think he's 66 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:50,799 Speaker 1: one of the most underrated linebackers in the game. 67 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:54,320 Speaker 3: A guy that can come downhill, take on blocks, also 68 00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:57,840 Speaker 3: understands zone and man coverage, and honestly, he's a great 69 00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:00,280 Speaker 3: He's a great communicator, and so when you talk about, 70 00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:03,079 Speaker 3: you know, leadership, to me, he's there at the time. 71 00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:05,560 Speaker 1: Thanks Dred, Thanks Mike. 72 00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:10,160 Speaker 4: Next question, Bob Sasi, Hey, Jrod, Hey. 73 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:14,079 Speaker 6: Bob, Joan, want tosk about Marte Mapu, and what you've 74 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:18,000 Speaker 6: seen from him is versatility and the way you guys 75 00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:24,400 Speaker 6: can use him defensively. Has he met or exceeded expectations. 76 00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:26,000 Speaker 3: He's done a great job, and I know you gott 77 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 3: to see him out there in the Red Jersey, So 78 00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:31,000 Speaker 3: obviously we can't really do a full evail until you know, 79 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,079 Speaker 3: we see what he's actually able to do. I will 80 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:35,920 Speaker 3: say this as a very smart kid or a smart man, 81 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:39,280 Speaker 3: I would say he asked a lot of good questions. Honestly, 82 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:41,880 Speaker 3: there aren't too many rookies that ask the questions that 83 00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:44,160 Speaker 3: that Marte asked. But once again, it goes back to 84 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:47,160 Speaker 3: the versatility. This guy can do different things. We just 85 00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:48,680 Speaker 3: got to make sure we see it on the field 86 00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:50,200 Speaker 3: in a lodge situation. 87 00:03:54,920 --> 00:04:01,000 Speaker 4: And we'll go next question, Phil Perry, Right, how's it going? 88 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,320 Speaker 1: How you going field? I'm great, man. 89 00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:07,200 Speaker 7: I do have another Jack Jones related question for you, 90 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:11,040 Speaker 7: because I know obviously you're a coach, but you're a leader, 91 00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:14,160 Speaker 7: You're a communicator in there for these guys, and I'm 92 00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:17,360 Speaker 7: just curious with what he has going on off the field, 93 00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:22,000 Speaker 7: how do you keep him focused on whatever the task 94 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:23,479 Speaker 7: is on a daily basis? 95 00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:25,559 Speaker 1: For you guys in the building and on the field. 96 00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:28,279 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll let Jack, you know, speak on that. But 97 00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:30,320 Speaker 3: what I will say is one thing, and we've all 98 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,800 Speaker 3: been through things before. One thing about this beautiful game 99 00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:36,360 Speaker 3: is once you cross the white lines, nothing else really matters. 100 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:38,600 Speaker 3: Once you get around the guys or in the locker 101 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:40,920 Speaker 3: room or in the weight room, nothing else really matters. 102 00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:43,599 Speaker 3: And so that's what he's focused on now. He's focused 103 00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:47,120 Speaker 3: on moving forward. And ye, I'll let him answer that 104 00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:48,080 Speaker 3: the rest of that question. 105 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:54,640 Speaker 7: And I did want to ask you about another young corner, Christian. 106 00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:57,040 Speaker 7: Obviously he's a young guy. I think he just turned 107 00:04:57,080 --> 00:05:00,839 Speaker 7: twenty one. But what a have you noticed about his 108 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:02,720 Speaker 7: camp so far? Maybe what are some of the things 109 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,200 Speaker 7: that have impressed you in the time you spent with him? 110 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:08,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, he's getting better every day. We knew 111 00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:12,080 Speaker 3: what kind of athlete we were getting out of Oregon. Obviously, 112 00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:16,000 Speaker 3: a tall guy that can move fairly well. I would say, 113 00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:19,720 Speaker 3: you know, the one surprise with him is just you know, 114 00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:22,520 Speaker 3: how he interacts with his teammates. I mean, he's already 115 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:24,719 Speaker 3: it already seems like he's a good teammate. The guys 116 00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:27,240 Speaker 3: like him. Now it's just all about putting it all 117 00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:28,000 Speaker 3: together on the field. 118 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:31,360 Speaker 1: Thank you, sir. Thanks Will. 119 00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:38,279 Speaker 4: The next question, Doug Kayde, Drod, how you doing? 120 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:41,160 Speaker 1: I'm doing well, Dug, how are you doing all right? 121 00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:44,480 Speaker 8: I apologize if someone asked this, I think I came 122 00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:47,839 Speaker 8: in about thirty seconds late. But what's it been like 123 00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:51,200 Speaker 8: matching up with Bill O'Brien's offense so far in practice? 124 00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:54,240 Speaker 8: Looks like there's a bit of a challenge there for 125 00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:54,880 Speaker 8: both sides. 126 00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:59,359 Speaker 3: No, absolutely, it's been great for us defensively. You know, 127 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:01,800 Speaker 3: those guys go out there, they put stuff, you know, 128 00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:04,839 Speaker 3: new stuff in each and every day. That's why on 129 00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:08,159 Speaker 3: defense we try to teach about concepts, you know, conceptual learning. 130 00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:11,760 Speaker 3: But you know Obi, we call him Obie's he's been 131 00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:14,279 Speaker 3: doing it a long time, uh, and the guys have 132 00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:16,479 Speaker 3: a lot of confidence in what he's putting in. So 133 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,440 Speaker 3: it's definitely that's what training camps about. It's about, you know, 134 00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:21,719 Speaker 3: one day the offense loses, one day the defense loses. 135 00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:25,159 Speaker 3: You don't want one unit to be so dominant in 136 00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:27,599 Speaker 3: training camping, and we're fortunate to have an offense. 137 00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:28,840 Speaker 1: It's kind of clicking pretty well. 138 00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 8: Just one other question. When Jack left yesterday, it looked 139 00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:34,920 Speaker 8: like a mere speed in Isaiah Boulden got some more 140 00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,680 Speaker 8: work in there at cornerback, maybe a little bit safety 141 00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:40,040 Speaker 8: for a mere speed. What have you seen from those 142 00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,200 Speaker 8: guys so far? I know it's still pretty early in camp, 143 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:45,359 Speaker 8: but seems like there's some tools to work with with 144 00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:46,280 Speaker 8: those two players. 145 00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:49,039 Speaker 3: No, absolutely, you know those guys are you know strong? 146 00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:52,320 Speaker 3: Could do a lot of different things. I would say, 147 00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:56,240 Speaker 3: you know this, This entire defense has been built on versatility. 148 00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:58,919 Speaker 3: So when you talk about you know those two guys 149 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:02,159 Speaker 3: and you know Marte and you know a lot of 150 00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:05,159 Speaker 3: the linebackers like, we strive to be versatile and we 151 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:08,200 Speaker 3: strive to get those guys to learn the entire concept 152 00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:11,000 Speaker 3: instead of just what you have to do. So anytime 153 00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:13,400 Speaker 3: someone goes out of practice or anything like that, we 154 00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:16,360 Speaker 3: just treated like an injury and that next man up 155 00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:18,080 Speaker 3: mentality has to kick in. 156 00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:21,240 Speaker 1: I think those guys are a good job. Thank you, 157 00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:22,680 Speaker 1: Thank you. 158 00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:25,600 Speaker 4: Next question Bob Socie, Hey. 159 00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:28,840 Speaker 6: Joda, wanted to ask you on the versatility topic You've 160 00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:32,080 Speaker 6: got keon for example, as a rookie played inside out 161 00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:36,600 Speaker 6: and on the edge mentioned Marte, are you seeing that 162 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:38,560 Speaker 6: more and more with kids coming out of the college 163 00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:43,960 Speaker 6: level because of the offensive changes at that level. We're 164 00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:45,640 Speaker 6: seeing it in the NFL are we're seeing it as well, 165 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:49,000 Speaker 6: coming up from the college ranks to the versatility defensively. 166 00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:51,720 Speaker 1: Absolutely, and I think that's where you have to be 167 00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:52,000 Speaker 1: like that. 168 00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:54,040 Speaker 3: You know, when I first was drafted in two thousand 169 00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:56,680 Speaker 3: and eight, we had like real bubbles coming downhill. Teams 170 00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,560 Speaker 3: have real fullbacks right, and now the game has started 171 00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:02,480 Speaker 3: to like spread out, So whether they're stretching the defense 172 00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:06,800 Speaker 3: vertically or horizontally, you need guys that can go forward, backwards, 173 00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:10,240 Speaker 3: open up forty five. So, like you know, to answer 174 00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:13,280 Speaker 3: your question, we are seeing players like that, but I 175 00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:15,560 Speaker 3: would also say you have to go find them. You 176 00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:18,480 Speaker 3: have to project that this guy can do, you know, 177 00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:22,080 Speaker 3: certain things, because even even though they may do one 178 00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:25,400 Speaker 3: thing in college, if you can project this guy play linebacker, safety, whatever, 179 00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:29,040 Speaker 3: there's definitely value for that person in our system. 180 00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:32,719 Speaker 6: And I guess very quickly you mentioned Bentley and his 181 00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:35,160 Speaker 6: what he brings. There's still a place for that guy too. 182 00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:36,000 Speaker 1: Now. 183 00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:39,920 Speaker 3: Absolutely, And let let's not think that Bentley can only 184 00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:42,360 Speaker 3: play off the ball, because he also last year showed 185 00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:43,440 Speaker 3: that he could rush the passer. 186 00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:45,520 Speaker 1: He also showed last year that he. 187 00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:47,720 Speaker 3: Can set the edge of the defense, so you know, 188 00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:50,000 Speaker 3: and come downhill and that's what makes him such a 189 00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:50,720 Speaker 3: special player. 190 00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:53,640 Speaker 1: He can do all that stuff at at a pretty 191 00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:57,679 Speaker 1: high level. Thank you, Thanks Bob, and we'll have. 192 00:08:57,640 --> 00:08:59,600 Speaker 4: Two final questions best starting with. 193 00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:04,480 Speaker 1: Steve Hey, Gerard, I why you this afternoon?

She 197 00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:12,720 Speaker 1: was a captain on that Super Bowl team. 198 00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:15,559 Speaker 7: What do you get a thought to him being inducted 199 00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:18,120 Speaker 7: into the Hall of Fame this saturday? 200 00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:19,640 Speaker 1: Well deserved. 201 00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:21,880 Speaker 3: You know, one of those guys that you know, you 202 00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:24,200 Speaker 3: tell him, look, we want you to shut this guy down, 203 00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:27,079 Speaker 3: and he's going to get it done. True professional, very 204 00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:31,679 Speaker 3: smart player, very savvy, would study, study, study his individual 205 00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:35,199 Speaker 3: matchups and was always prepared to play. So congratulations to him, 206 00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:38,400 Speaker 3: well deserved, Thanks Rod, Thanks. 207 00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:41,280 Speaker 4: See And final question Chris Ryan. 208 00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:45,839 Speaker 1: I'm doing well, Chris, are you good? 209 00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:50,280 Speaker 9: You mentioned universatility being one of the strengths of this defense. 210 00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:52,559 Speaker 9: What do you see some of the other strengths being 211 00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:56,480 Speaker 9: as a whole when you look get this group through 212 00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:58,280 Speaker 9: a couple of little bit of trading camps so far. 213 00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:02,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, I see a group uh still working towards, 214 00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:06,600 Speaker 3: you know, gelling together. We're still early. I would say 215 00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:08,839 Speaker 3: anytime you lose a guy like Devin mccordy, who knows 216 00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:11,600 Speaker 3: the defense in and out on the communication aspect, there's 217 00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:14,680 Speaker 3: always gonna be a little dip and then hopefully we 218 00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:17,280 Speaker 3: continue to get better as training camp goes on. But 219 00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:20,319 Speaker 3: I will say this, those guys are working hard, working 220 00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:24,200 Speaker 3: hard in the building, working hard on the field.
