1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:04,520
Speaker 1: Cody Latimer. He's a big, strong man that has really

2
00:00:04,519 --> 00:00:07,880
Speaker 1: good straight line speed. Uh, and he's he's done it

3
00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:09,720
Speaker 1: before in his career and he's been effective at it.

4
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:12,160
Speaker 1: And we like what we saw when he was in

5
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:15,880
Speaker 1: Denver and uh, he's he's the same way here. You know,

6
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:19,400
Speaker 1: we just you know, again, we had one attempt and uh,

7
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:21,800
Speaker 1: you know, we'll obviously we'll have some more moving forward.

8
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:24,759
Speaker 1: But I think Cody's a very viable candidate to be

9
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:27,280
Speaker 1: that job. You weren't here with Alter last year, but

10
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:28,840
Speaker 1: I'm sure you watched a lot of film one him.

11
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:32,240
Speaker 1: Does he look different? Does he looked more confident? Absolutely?

12
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:35,720
Speaker 1: I think, Um, you know, he's like any other young players,

13
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 1: you look forward to watching them mature. You know, the

14
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:42,320
Speaker 1: maturation process with him has been really really fun to watch.

15
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 1: He's a very talented young player, uh that has a

16
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:50,320
Speaker 1: ton of upside and he's learning. It's like any you know,

17
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 1: it's like any young player in this league. You know,

18
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:55,760
Speaker 1: you learn from your mistakes and uh, you know, you

19
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 1: just continue to work to get better. And he's done then.

20
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 1: I think this last week, but what was it like

21
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 1: bringing Tom going back? And how is he helped? Um?

22
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:06,200
Speaker 1: Tom has been great, and I mean, you know, we

23
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:08,680
Speaker 1: worked together for four years, so I mean it's it's

24
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 1: like putting the band back together again. I mean, you know,

25
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 1: Tom is it's very knowledgeable, very detail, very organizing what

26
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:18,959
Speaker 1: he does, and he definitely brings a lot to the

27
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 1: to the room and we work well together. But there's

28
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 1: a new leading in the band. He is to be

29
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:27,760
Speaker 1: years And now your hid, how did that dynamic work?

30
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:30,319
Speaker 1: We work together? I mean, I don't you know, he

31
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 1: didn't work for me. I mean, it's just we all

32
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 1: work together. I mean, meet him and Belev. We sit

33
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:37,840
Speaker 1: down and we come up with the scheme for the

34
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 1: week and how we're gonna attack the next opponent. And

35
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:43,479
Speaker 1: we work together. It's not a you know, I'm the boss,

36
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 1: he's you know, it's not one of those deals. And uh,

37
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 1: you know, it's kind of how we operate. Any concerns

38
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 1: with what they do on returns, you know, you're always

39
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 1: concerned about the opponent. I mean, Dallas is a formal opponent.

40
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 1: They've they've done a great job over the years. We

41
00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 1: got a new coordinator, but they're they're talent football team.

42
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:04,639
Speaker 1: You know, they got some some good pieces there, and uh,

43
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 1: you know, you just got you know, Deonte Thompson and

44
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,799
Speaker 1: Tavon Austin, those guys have made plays in this league.

45
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:13,520
Speaker 1: And uh, you know, anytime you get an opportunity to

46
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 1: line up against those style of guys, you better be

47
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 1: ready because the pop you upside. The head mentioned the

48
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 1: new rules that when how does the new kickoff rules?

49
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 1: Does it make it any more or less enticing when

50
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:28,399
Speaker 1: you're maybe two or three yards into the end zone

51
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 1: to return it or take any It just depends on

52
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:35,080
Speaker 1: the situation. It's all situational. Uh, you know, it just

53
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 1: depends on you know, when direction, you know, the time

54
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 1: of the game. You know, just it's just it's just situational,

55
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 1: you know, it just it just depends. You just gotta

56
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 1: pick your spots. Any feedback from former players friends when

57
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:54,240
Speaker 1: you told had cancer, Uh yeah, I got a lot

58
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 1: of text messages that day, because you know, it's not

59
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 1: something you just broadcast in the world, you know. You

Speaker 1: you know know, and that deal with me on a

62
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 1: day to day basis. But it's not something that I

63
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 1: picked up a phone and called everybody that I knew,

64
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 1: you know. So so a lot of people were surprised,

65
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:13,120
