He's he's been here, he's he 28 00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:29,959 Speaker 2: knows what he's doing. He's very talented, he's playing, he's playing. 29 00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:33,119 Speaker 2: You know, he's always played very good football, and uh 30 00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:36,080 Speaker 2: he's had nicks and things like that, kind of unfortunate situations. 31 00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:38,440 Speaker 2: But man, we expect him to have a really good year. 32 00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:40,720 Speaker 2: I mean, I think he's playing like a starter, and 33 00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:42,920 Speaker 2: he'll be on special teams and he'll be playing in 34 00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:46,080 Speaker 2: our secondary and packages and expecting to have a great year. 35 00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:53,800 Speaker 6: As his gold in front of early special teams. I 36 00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:56,000 Speaker 6: grow up. 37 00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:58,200 Speaker 2: Well, I mean yeah, I can't say there's no concern. 38 00:01:58,240 --> 00:01:59,360 Speaker 2: I mean, you know, we want to have all our 39 00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:01,840 Speaker 2: guys out here. And he's got a nagging, you know, 40 00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:05,320 Speaker 2: soft tissue lower leg deal. He's had those in the past. 41 00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:08,640 Speaker 2: It's something he does deal with. I think he'll be 42 00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:10,919 Speaker 2: fine and get plenty of reps. He's had so many 43 00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:12,760 Speaker 2: return reps generally, But you would want him out here 44 00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:14,760 Speaker 2: and these this new deal, getting a feel for the 45 00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:15,280 Speaker 2: timing of it. 46 00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:17,959 Speaker 6: Sure, John, We're gonna talk to Brent Irvin in a 47 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:19,480 Speaker 6: little bit. When you think back to the beginning of 48 00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:21,920 Speaker 6: his career, I mean he missed most of like three 49 00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:24,120 Speaker 6: of his first four seasons and to be playing all 50 00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:26,799 Speaker 6: these years later, what kind of lesson is that for? 51 00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:29,400 Speaker 6: You know, whether you're talking about Armor Davis, David Ajabo, 52 00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:31,560 Speaker 6: guys who've had some injuries early in their career, early 53 00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:35,240 Speaker 6: Cam right now, sure, just that they can overcome that 54 00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:36,960 Speaker 6: and still have a long, productive career. 55 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:38,920 Speaker 2: Such a great point. I'm I'm gonna start using him 56 00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:41,720 Speaker 2: as an example for those guys because it's a perfect point. 57 00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:43,919 Speaker 2: And I can remember him right over there. We were 58 00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:46,720 Speaker 2: doing an inside run drill against the forty nine ers. 59 00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:48,840 Speaker 2: We had the joint practices all those years ago, and 60 00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:51,080 Speaker 2: he tore his acl right at the end of practice. 61 00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:55,760 Speaker 2: He's just like, he's so heartbreaking and missed that whole year. 62 00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:58,600 Speaker 2: We had high hopes for him coming out. We thought 63 00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:02,680 Speaker 2: he was a an odd front defensive end in the 64 00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:04,760 Speaker 2: in the old Pittsburgh Steeler kind of realm, you know, 65 00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:07,639 Speaker 2: like the Brett Keezels of the world, and and he's 66 00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:09,600 Speaker 2: turned out to be just that. You know, he's just 67 00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:11,160 Speaker 2: that kind of a player. He plays so well, But 68 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:13,400 Speaker 2: those first couple of years were tough, and here he 69 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:16,079 Speaker 2: is now he's got a testimony, uh you know, as 70 00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:17,600 Speaker 2: a result of all the tests he's been through. 71 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,639 Speaker 7: Well, I guess that's another guy found in that situation 72 00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:21,600 Speaker 7: of being. 73 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:24,799 Speaker 3: Injured beginnis career, Ardarius Washington, you were replusting. 74 00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:26,960 Speaker 8: Them after many here now you guys have Eddi Johnson. 75 00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:28,800 Speaker 6: But how are you kind of looking at the situation 76 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:31,320 Speaker 6: at or the same day one of these themes for medicines. 77 00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:34,240 Speaker 2: He's in Champa, right, He's a great point, you know, 78 00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:37,560 Speaker 2: ar Darius is is definitely played at the highest level. 79 00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:42,680 Speaker 2: He's I think bringing Eddie Jackson is one of these 80 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,440 Speaker 2: things that you just wouldn't expect as a possibility to happen, 81 00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:49,080 Speaker 2: and so it just makes us better. But Ardarius is 82 00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:51,280 Speaker 2: very capable of going after playing great football in the secondary, 83 00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:53,680 Speaker 2: and I'm sure he will this year. He's just a 84 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:57,080 Speaker 2: really good football player. Love his energy, his athleticism is 85 00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:02,080 Speaker 2: off the charts. He's tough as nails. It's uh, he's 86 00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:04,040 Speaker 2: not gonna He's not gonna disappoint anybody when he's on 87 00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:04,880 Speaker 2: the field. John. 88 00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:06,560 Speaker 7: Same being with ar Darius. 89 00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:10,400 Speaker 9: Last year he was about the fourth choice at slot corner, 90 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,480 Speaker 9: but it seemed like he really hadn't played everyone there 91 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:16,040 Speaker 9: before him. Do you see a possibility place either slack 92 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:17,039 Speaker 9: corner or stayety. 93 00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:19,440 Speaker 2: He absolutely he can go down in there and play slot. 94 00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:21,080 Speaker 2: We haven't put him there much. He's played there a 95 00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:22,680 Speaker 2: little bit a lot in the past, a little bit 96 00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:24,560 Speaker 2: in the spring. I know he can go in there 97 00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:27,080 Speaker 2: if we needed him to. Just right now, we've got 98 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:29,120 Speaker 2: so many guys you're trying to get those guys the reps. 99 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:31,280 Speaker 2: But I think that's kind of indicative of our depth 100 00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:35,119 Speaker 2: back there. It kind of demonstrates it more curiosity. 101 00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:37,520 Speaker 4: We're about on those two weeks for the camp. I 102 00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:40,560 Speaker 4: don't think there's been a vet day for going now. 103 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:42,840 Speaker 4: Is that just how the schedules work and the off 104 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:47,200 Speaker 4: days built in and taken you know, shortened exerted practices or. 105 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:49,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think we're kind of building that stuff in 106 00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:52,840 Speaker 2: individually by guy. You know, we haven't felt the need 107 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:55,840 Speaker 2: to give guys all days off, you know, and we 108 00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:57,359 Speaker 2: haven't really done too much of that except for the 109 00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:00,520 Speaker 2: really the really you know, the ray lewis ti older 110 00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:03,719 Speaker 2: type guys when they get to that stage. Uh, And 111 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:05,840 Speaker 2: we got you know, our older guys. You know they're 112 00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:08,039 Speaker 2: pretty young. You know Rose pretty young. 113 00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:08,960 Speaker 6: Uh. 114 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,479 Speaker 2: You got Kyle and you see he took, he's taken. 115 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:13,040 Speaker 2: He had a couple of days, and he's taking fewer 116 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:14,800 Speaker 2: reps here and there. So we kind of, I would say, 117 00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:16,360 Speaker 2: probably we're more doing it with reps than we are 118 00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:17,200 Speaker 2: with days at this point. 119 00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:21,359 Speaker 7: Probably John two weeks into it. Now, what's two things? 120 00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:24,560 Speaker 7: What are you sort of the most at least specifically, 121 00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:29,120 Speaker 7: whether it's tight ends off of whatever. And then secondly, 122 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:31,000 Speaker 7: what's the challenge of when you do get to the 123 00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:34,040 Speaker 7: back end of all these practices. Obviously next week's of 124 00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:38,240 Speaker 7: game week to probably a little more normal build up 125 00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:40,239 Speaker 7: for you guys. But but what's the challenge I guess. 126 00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:42,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, we'll still be in camp mode all the 127 00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:42,520 Speaker 2: way through. 128 00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:43,039 Speaker 4: Uh. 129 00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:47,480 Speaker 2: In terms of our preparation, it's it's situational football install 130 00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:50,240 Speaker 2: We'll be working trying to get reps in all things 131 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:51,479 Speaker 2: that we're gonna have to do throughout the course of 132 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:53,279 Speaker 2: the season. We won't be getting ready for the game 133 00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:57,600 Speaker 2: per se. Uh. But and and so it really doesn't. 134 00:05:57,640 --> 00:05:59,880 Speaker 2: The mindset really doesn't change, is camp mode. You know, 135 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:05,159 Speaker 2: through all these games, we will be thinking about yardage 136 00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:08,240 Speaker 2: and speeds and rest and different things to get our 137 00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:10,440 Speaker 2: guys ready to roll when they need to be ready 138 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:12,279 Speaker 2: to roll. Whether it's certain guys for the preseason games, 139 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:15,320 Speaker 2: certain guys for the regular season. Well, most pleased with 140 00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:17,720 Speaker 2: probably is just the mindset of the team. I love 141 00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:19,520 Speaker 2: the mindset of the team. How hard they work, how 142 00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:22,720 Speaker 2: good their attitude is, how how up for anything they are, 143 00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:26,440 Speaker 2: and how hard they practice, and how locked in they've been. 144 00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:29,960 Speaker 3: His camps so far, and. 145 00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:31,840 Speaker 6: What do you envision the next steps game for him? 146 00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:35,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I think I've said before I expect his 147 00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:39,600 Speaker 2: next step to be a breakout season. You know, he's 148 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:42,880 Speaker 2: he's a dominant guy in there right now, and whenever 149 00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:44,920 Speaker 2: somebody blocks him, I just think it's like a it's 150 00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:47,400 Speaker 2: a superhuman feed almost when somebody blocks him in there, 151 00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:50,719 Speaker 2: he's like a superhuman player. So we'll see if it 152 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:52,280 Speaker 2: pans out in the games. It's I know it's a 153 00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:55,120 Speaker 2: high tag to put on them, but let's go for it. 154 00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:58,040 Speaker 1: Another defensive Lindman that seems to he's really stitting out 155 00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:01,880 Speaker 1: is Robert Washington. Seen him improve his game from last 156 00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:03,120 Speaker 1: year take it into this year. 157 00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:05,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, Broaderck's always been very steady player. I think he's 158 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,159 Speaker 2: really he's up his strength levels ridiculous. I mean he's 159 00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:10,600 Speaker 2: so strong and I think he's a really good job. 160 00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:13,320 Speaker 2: Was like his his twitchiness, you know, his ability to 161 00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:16,200 Speaker 2: kind of tear off the blocks and move laterally really quickly. 162 00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:18,040 Speaker 2: It's done a really nice job with that. He's playing 163 00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:18,760 Speaker 2: at a high level. 164 00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:21,440 Speaker 4: It seems like we have to ask you kick off 165 00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:24,040 Speaker 4: rush every time we meet. But did you learn anything 166 00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:25,920 Speaker 4: from I have even got a chance to review the 167 00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:27,920 Speaker 4: film on how they're handled, and is there anything that 168 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,440 Speaker 4: surprised you? 169 00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:32,520 Speaker 2: No? Actually, I mean it looked about like we thought 170 00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:34,680 Speaker 2: it would look. It was pretty, you know, tough to 171 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:36,600 Speaker 2: block those guys, but the field position is going to 172 00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:39,040 Speaker 2: be there unless you just bobble the ball or the 173 00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:40,440 Speaker 2: ball gets on the ground, then it's gonna be a 174 00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:43,000 Speaker 2: problem for the kick return team. The one thing I 175 00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:45,840 Speaker 2: did jump out at me was it's confusing for the fans, 176 00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:49,120 Speaker 2: like where does the ball go? You know, if you 177 00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:50,760 Speaker 2: kick it out of bounds, where does it go? What 178 00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:52,520 Speaker 2: about after a penalty you kick it out of bounds. 179 00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:55,160 Speaker 2: What about if it's in the end zone when it 180 00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:57,040 Speaker 2: lands there? What if it rolls into the end zone? 181 00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:59,320 Speaker 2: Where does the ball go? All that stuff is like, 182 00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:01,160 Speaker 2: he got the ford, you got the thirty, you got 183 00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:04,880 Speaker 2: the twenty five, you got the twenty. That's confusing to me. 184 00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:08,400 Speaker 2: So we'll all get it. But you know, I want 185 00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:09,920 Speaker 2: to make sure we either educate the fans and that's 186 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:11,880 Speaker 2: I understand why the ball is being spotted where it's at, 187 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:13,800 Speaker 2: or you know, they still could tweak those things and 188 00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:16,200 Speaker 2: simplify that a little bit too. So that jumped out 189 00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:18,120 Speaker 2: of me just from watching the TV copy of it. 190 00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:20,200 Speaker 5: Moving back to the Travis for a second, do you 191 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:22,760 Speaker 5: see him still as a guy who can kind of 192 00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,720 Speaker 5: either be a nose or a three technique situationally? I mean, 193 00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:26,760 Speaker 5: does he not really one. 194 00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:29,360 Speaker 2: Or the other nose three technique or four four I 195 00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:32,120 Speaker 2: or five technique? Yeah, he can play anywhere in there. Absolutely. 196 00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:37,840 Speaker 1: Next up is Travis Jones, who's gotten off to a 197 00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:41,520 Speaker 1: hot start this season.
