Um 9 00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:30,320 Speaker 1: se Kwan, Nick Gates obviously great players for our offense 10 00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:33,560 Speaker 1: on the defensive side. I don't want to miss quote that. 11 00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:40,680 Speaker 1: Joe just just told us myself, Uh, Jabril Blake and 12 00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:43,959 Speaker 1: then Graham Gonna. So I hope I'm not missing anybody, 13 00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:48,559 Speaker 1: but obviously y'all leaders. Um. And the one thing I 14 00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:52,639 Speaker 1: like about here is, you know, Joe says like last year, 15 00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:54,600 Speaker 1: I got to the team like two days and he's like, 16 00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:57,040 Speaker 1: you don't know anybody here. Don't even vote for cat, Like, 17 00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:59,240 Speaker 1: don't waste a vote. Like if you don't, if you're 18 00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:00,680 Speaker 1: new here and you haven't been here, you don't really 19 00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:02,840 Speaker 1: know who the captains are, who's earned it. We're not 20 00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:05,240 Speaker 1: gonna have everyone just Vocus' not gonna be a popularity contest, 21 00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:07,640 Speaker 1: So I think, um, you know, I just try to 22 00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:11,679 Speaker 1: do a good job of serving my teammates, UM aiming 23 00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:14,319 Speaker 1: the younger guys asked me from my years in league, 24 00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:15,679 Speaker 1: I try to be an open book. I'm not worried 25 00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:18,920 Speaker 1: about those guys in terms of holding everything to myself 26 00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:21,679 Speaker 1: and really just try to be um, try to put 27 00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:23,600 Speaker 1: my teammates in the best possess to succeed because we 28 00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:25,319 Speaker 1: all need each other. So I'm honored to be a 29 00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:27,960 Speaker 1: captain and take it very seriously and I'm gonna try 30 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:32,280 Speaker 1: to do my best with it. They didn't change you 31 00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:34,919 Speaker 1: have after you're a leader last year night have the title. 32 00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:39,119 Speaker 1: I guess, uh no, Um, there's no change in how 33 00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:41,440 Speaker 1: my day to day. I just I just, you know, 34 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:44,600 Speaker 1: the piers voted for me, so honestly, I just I 35 00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:46,680 Speaker 1: don't want to disappoint them, and I take that. I 36 00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:48,840 Speaker 1: take that seriously. I think there's a responsibility you have 37 00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:51,040 Speaker 1: to have. I think the responsibility have to have as 38 00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:52,640 Speaker 1: a leader of the locker room, which I always try 39 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:54,920 Speaker 1: to say, I was to really understand, if you know, 40 00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:56,880 Speaker 1: make sure the coaching staff and the players are on 41 00:01:56,880 --> 00:02:00,920 Speaker 1: the same page of what that may be, and really 42 00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:03,560 Speaker 1: just addressed the guy's needs, whatever that is. And I'm 43 00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:05,160 Speaker 1: kind of like that as NFL p A rep. And 44 00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:08,200 Speaker 1: I'm kind of like that anyway, but I just take it. 45 00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:09,959 Speaker 1: I take it more seriously because the guy's voted me 46 00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:11,560 Speaker 1: in that, and honestly, it's the first time my nine 47 00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:14,680 Speaker 1: year career has voted captained. So I'm excited that I 48 00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:21,240 Speaker 1: can accomplish that, and I'm excited for the team. This defense. 49 00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,720 Speaker 1: What do you guys, you in your opinions, think you 50 00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:26,720 Speaker 1: need to do to sort of get to the next level. 51 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:31,680 Speaker 1: Let's play the games. I mean, just line up and play. 52 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:34,720 Speaker 1: I mean, it's all it's all through experience, it's all 53 00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:38,000 Speaker 1: through playing together. Um, we obviously added pieces, but we 54 00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:41,040 Speaker 1: haven't played a ton um in the games yet. I 55 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:43,320 Speaker 1: think we played one half together so far in actual 56 00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:45,320 Speaker 1: game and it was okay, it was good. It was 57 00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:47,519 Speaker 1: a good half, not perfect. So we just gotta play 58 00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:50,160 Speaker 1: the game. I mean, September football. It's like, you know 59 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,080 Speaker 1: you're not gonna be the eighty five Bears and September football, 60 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:56,440 Speaker 1: You've gotta go out there and and execute and tackle. 61 00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:59,720 Speaker 1: We haven't been live tackling too much. Nobody's played a 62 00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:02,360 Speaker 1: full four quarters yet in the NFL. So the first 63 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:06,800 Speaker 1: game in September, football especially is about um fundamentals and 64 00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:09,080 Speaker 1: understand the situations and playing smart. So I think we 65 00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:11,080 Speaker 1: need to play smart and if we do that, I 66 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,519 Speaker 1: think our talent our execution will come together. But we 67 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:21,680 Speaker 1: gotta play smart and execute broken out, Yeah, of course. Yeah. 68 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:24,639 Speaker 1: I've been watching him over the last couple of days off. 69 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,480 Speaker 1: It's a very smart quarterback. Man. He beat me in Louisville, 70 00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:33,519 Speaker 1: Louisville Rutgers nine years ago. Man, he took a Dan 71 00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:37,080 Speaker 1: those broken wrist, broken leg, whatever you had, took a 72 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:41,360 Speaker 1: sugar bowl berth from us. Very smart guy, very cerebral. 73 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:43,400 Speaker 1: Protects the ball, I think a little bit and drew 74 00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:45,680 Speaker 1: Lock obviously, and I think that's why he won the job. 75 00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:47,680 Speaker 1: I think he's gonna protect the ball. They have good playmakers. 76 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:49,840 Speaker 1: I think his job is distribute the ball to the 77 00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:52,840 Speaker 1: playmakers and um, you know, play their defense, you know, 78 00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:54,080 Speaker 1: and just I think he has to do a good 79 00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:56,000 Speaker 1: job protecting the ball. I think he does that. Cerebral guy. 80 00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,080 Speaker 1: I've been a league eight years. A lot of respect 81 00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:01,480 Speaker 1: from going back to college Joe, Joe and his team 82 00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:04,360 Speaker 1: to believe in it. So what callings does he have. 83 00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 1: I mean, just that consistency in his approach, wins, losses, 84 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:13,040 Speaker 1: consistent come out here, the standards of standard, the fundamentals 85 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:15,440 Speaker 1: of the fundamentals. He doesn't he doesn't get too high, 86 00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:17,640 Speaker 1: too low. He kind of stays. He stays on it. 87 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:20,279 Speaker 1: He's a tough coach that stays on you, regarless how 88 00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:21,719 Speaker 1: you think you're playing. He's gonna stay on you and 89 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:25,120 Speaker 1: tell how it is. So um, I think the players 90 00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:27,000 Speaker 1: need to believe in themselves and I think we've done 91 00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:29,200 Speaker 1: a good job with that. Just just through the preparation. 92 00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:32,080 Speaker 1: Just gonna be get extremely prepared, and you gotta play 93 00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:34,160 Speaker 1: to the level of your preparation. Just feel confident with 94 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:36,240 Speaker 1: the work you put in and go play free and 95 00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:38,680 Speaker 1: go executed. No one's gonna be perfect this this Sunday. 96 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:40,599 Speaker 1: It's the first game of the year. But we just 97 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:42,560 Speaker 1: gotta be a little you know, execute a little better 98 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:44,400 Speaker 1: than they do on another side, and find a way 99 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:46,559 Speaker 1: to win the game and end. And I think Joe's 100 00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:49,600 Speaker 1: kept us together last year through that and this year 101 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:51,599 Speaker 1: we were prepared really hard to reach some of the 102 00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:53,200 Speaker 1: the benefits of it. So we gotta go out there 103 00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:56,040 Speaker 1: and we'll play the game. Logan, Daniel and some of 104 00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:59,640 Speaker 1: the guys on offense here ran Pat Schirmer's offense. So 105 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,599 Speaker 1: have you guys leaned on them at all or have 106 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,560 Speaker 1: meetings been any different or included them to give you 107 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:07,359 Speaker 1: guys insight or do you not need that as a 108 00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:10,479 Speaker 1: defensive group. Do you need anything yet? Man, I'll read 109 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:14,000 Speaker 1: some stuff on Wikipedia sometimes. Uh, so I'll look into it, 110 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:18,440 Speaker 1: check the sources. Um. So you know I played against 111 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:22,600 Speaker 1: Grammer's offense uh in Tennessee. Um. But you know, as 112 00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:24,599 Speaker 1: as I dive into it, and I'll ask Daniel things 113 00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:27,400 Speaker 1: that I feel. You know, I'm not gonna bombard him, 114 00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:29,240 Speaker 1: but asking what things I feel might be that might 115 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:32,360 Speaker 1: help us, saynything he might know, signals, calls, anything like that, 116 00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:35,719 Speaker 1: go to plays or whatever. But it's a players league, man. 117 00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:38,160 Speaker 1: They got Jerry Judy, they got no offense. They got 118 00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:41,400 Speaker 1: two good running backs. Uh, they got Sutton back. Sutton 119 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:43,080 Speaker 1: is a good route runner in certain areas. Judy is 120 00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:44,880 Speaker 1: a good route runner. So they're they're gonna get their 121 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 1: guys just like us. We're gonna get their guys, the 122 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:49,599 Speaker 1: players and what they do best. Let them do what 123 00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:52,440 Speaker 1: they do best, So different different players, same system, but 124 00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:53,880 Speaker 1: he's gonna find a way to utilize the players. So 125 00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:57,200 Speaker 1: we're really trying to get the other the guys right now, 126 00:05:57,040 --> 00:06:00,320 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna worry considering all those weapons you have. 127 00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:03,960 Speaker 1: You just name it very important. Door is a very 128 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:06,320 Speaker 1: important piece. We know why. He's a good corner. It 129 00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:08,280 Speaker 1: makes everyone's jobs either it makes my job easier with 130 00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:11,000 Speaker 1: him out there. Him and Jet Bradberry, they're they're smart guys. 131 00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:13,160 Speaker 1: They have good skill sets, they match up with no 132 00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:17,880 Speaker 1: more receivers and big games and playoff games, they've been there. Um, 133 00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:19,400 Speaker 1: so we've just gotta go out there and go play man. 134 00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:21,440 Speaker 1: We got execute.

We all got to 139 00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:31,480 Speaker 1: bring it together. And that's what it's all about. It's 140 00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:33,240 Speaker 1: coming together in the system. And that's what it takes 141 00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:36,160 Speaker 1: reps as it takes game experience, and that's what I'm 142 00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:38,040 Speaker 1: excited to roll it out and give the fans and 143 00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:39,919 Speaker 1: you know, and the fans and myself, we're all going 144 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:41,440 Speaker 1: to see on Sunday, so I'm excited to roll it 145 00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:42,800 Speaker 1: out and give it our best shot.
