1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,280 Speaker 1: Is there a balance, so like you wanna start the 2 00:00:02,320 --> 00:00:04,640 Speaker 1: season with a dub, but like not pressing too hard 3 00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:06,280 Speaker 1: cause it's not it's still a long year. 4 00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:08,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think about that after the game. I think 5 00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:11,000 Speaker 2: I wanna win this game as much as possible. You know, 6 00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:14,159 Speaker 2: if you win the game, all the other you know 7 00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:17,600 Speaker 2: stuff doesn't matter. So I not it matters, but you know, 8 00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:19,560 Speaker 2: trying to win the game, it would would take a 9 00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:23,320 Speaker 2: care of the what is after that? Yeah, what do 10 00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:25,079 Speaker 2: you what do you make just you know of the Panthers, 11 00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:25,720 Speaker 2: what you've seen. 12 00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:27,480 Speaker 1: On the cave kind of what rites the last year? 13 00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:31,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know going into that, what kind of with 14 00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:33,400 Speaker 2: the end I feel like or what they did last 15 00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:35,760 Speaker 2: year from what I've seen, they were like a lot 16 00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:40,520 Speaker 2: more explosive. I think they're on timing a lot better. 17 00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:44,800 Speaker 2: Hard running team. They run the ball very hard. 18 00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:45,120 Speaker 1: Uh. 19 00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:47,519 Speaker 2: I think they probably their their hats on being physical 20 00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:50,839 Speaker 2: and stuff finishing plays, uh, driving off of blocks and 21 00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:53,319 Speaker 2: just keeping the ball churning like that. And then when 22 00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:55,240 Speaker 2: they do get out like in space, try to pick 23 00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:56,959 Speaker 2: out one on one matchups a little bit when they 24 00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:59,960 Speaker 2: getting empty or four open sets and really try to 25 00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:03,080 Speaker 2: extend plays to make cool throws downfield. However, he does 26 00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:04,760 Speaker 2: his sidearm and all that stuff kind of get the 27 00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:06,839 Speaker 2: quarterback out of the pocket and be able to throw 28 00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:08,840 Speaker 2: to the matchup that he wants. So they were a 29 00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:10,400 Speaker 2: lot more explosive at the end of last year. We 30 00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:13,040 Speaker 2: have to definitely have to be on our assignments to 31 00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:13,960 Speaker 2: be able to match all that. 32 00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:14,640 Speaker 1: And I know the. 33 00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:16,840 Speaker 2: Defense played together a few series in the preseason. Now 34 00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:18,959 Speaker 2: knowing you can get a full game together, nobody's coming 35 00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:20,440 Speaker 2: off the field just how excited are you to just 36 00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:21,119 Speaker 2: get a full game. 37 00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:22,080 Speaker 1: Lend your belt in this game. 38 00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:24,280 Speaker 2: I'm excited. I just love playing football and then being 39 00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:25,959 Speaker 2: out here with this group of guys. I think we 40 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,720 Speaker 2: got coached pretty quickly, so definitely excited to see how 41 00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:31,559 Speaker 2: everybody plays and want most successful everybody. So I think 42 00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:33,679 Speaker 2: being out there and being able to have successes, unit's 43 00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:35,800 Speaker 2: gonna be really cool to see. 44 00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:37,240 Speaker 1: What's the comfort level in this defense. I mean, you're 45 00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:39,560 Speaker 1: going into the regular season now, is a change from 46 00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:41,320 Speaker 1: what you've had the past couple of years. 47 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:45,280 Speaker 2: Scheme wie scheme wise. Oh, I think our communication has 48 00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:48,360 Speaker 2: been really good because we know how important it is, 49 00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:51,080 Speaker 2: you know, play in, play out to be on P's 50 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:54,880 Speaker 2: and Q's communication wise, so it's kind of like we're 51 00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:57,480 Speaker 2: expecting the next dout of communicate. So it's been cool 52 00:01:57,480 --> 00:01:59,240 Speaker 2: to grow as a defense all the way through preseason 53 00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:01,520 Speaker 2: that way. That kind of has just more comfortable with 54 00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:04,559 Speaker 2: each other. Then. I feel like maybe in years prior, 55 00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:08,000 Speaker 2: things were like put on everybody's shoulder more individualistically, like 56 00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:10,000 Speaker 2: make sure you have your assignment right. But I feel 57 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,000 Speaker 2: like now more people know what the guy next to 58 00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:14,800 Speaker 2: them is doing this year. So hopefully you know that 59 00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:16,720 Speaker 2: carries over to the season and we're all able to 60 00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:17,760 Speaker 2: play fashion because of it. 61 00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:20,040 Speaker 3: As players, as there are a part of you guys 62 00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:22,920 Speaker 3: that wants to see just how Liam is on a 63 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,679 Speaker 3: game day and what he's like on a game day. 64 00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:29,040 Speaker 2: I think it really you know, you want the coach 65 00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,560 Speaker 2: to be however he is comfortably, I think it really 66 00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:33,560 Speaker 2: rise on us. We make the calls come to life. 67 00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:36,320 Speaker 2: So I think he has that personality. Whatever you're gonna 68 00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:37,600 Speaker 2: bring to the game, he makes the game. But I 69 00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:39,800 Speaker 2: think we go out and win the game for the team. 70 00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:42,040 Speaker 2: I think we have to take it upon ourselves to 71 00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:44,560 Speaker 2: go and win games. Obviously, the coach has to be 72 00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 2: confident in calling him what he calls it, has his demeanor. 73 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:48,640 Speaker 2: I think we're all gonna kind of ride off of that. 74 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:51,400 Speaker 2: But I know when the players start playing, like the 75 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:52,960 Speaker 2: players got to go make the play. So it's really 76 00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,680 Speaker 2: about how we go out take the field and stuff you. 77 00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:57,800 Speaker 1: Mentioned at the beginning, thinking about last year and kind 78 00:02:57,840 --> 00:02:59,239 Speaker 1: of getting that bad taste out of your mouth a 79 00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:02,720 Speaker 1: little bit. How much does I guess being able to 80 00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:05,040 Speaker 1: go out there and really put that behind Just that's 81 00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:06,919 Speaker 1: something that's been a part of this process the whole way. 82 00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:10,440 Speaker 2: It's definitely been a motivation as the off season goes on. 83 00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,160 Speaker 2: I think nobody plays how they wanted to last year, 84 00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:15,040 Speaker 2: And even with that new addition to players, I think 85 00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:17,560 Speaker 2: they came in and understood how we did not feel 86 00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:21,560 Speaker 2: good going into the off season last year, so kind 87 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:23,600 Speaker 2: of coming in and writ in the ship. They kind 88 00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:25,600 Speaker 2: of got on board with that, and everybody kind of 89 00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:27,959 Speaker 2: has that same goal of coming here and starting the 90 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,079 Speaker 2: season off right, having a great season this year. 91 00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:33,799 Speaker 1: But yeah, what excites you about this football team? We're 92 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:34,400 Speaker 1: all hungry. 93 00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:37,560 Speaker 2: That's that's the most exciting part of it. Like everybody 94 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:40,200 Speaker 2: has something to prove, and I think that coming out 95 00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:43,920 Speaker 2: game one. We can definitely prove something, you know, starting 96 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:45,400 Speaker 2: off the year, setting the standard. 97 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:47,120 Speaker 3: Just being among my peers and them seeing me as 98 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,160 Speaker 3: a leader. That feels really good. And it gonna be 99 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,000 Speaker 3: a really good football team. So that means a lot 100 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:51,200 Speaker 3: of fun. 101 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:53,960 Speaker 1: How important is it to kind of start the season 102 00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:56,920 Speaker 1: off fast and this week one? How important of these games? 103 00:03:57,640 --> 00:03:58,240 Speaker 2: Very important? 104 00:03:58,240 --> 00:03:58,400 Speaker 1: Man? 105 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:01,840 Speaker 3: Just getting the rhythm and you know, winning, having playing 106 00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,760 Speaker 3: winning football in September, that means a lot. So you know, 107 00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:06,520 Speaker 3: if you can get these grand games early and get 108 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:08,640 Speaker 3: a get on the roll and understand you know, your 109 00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:10,960 Speaker 3: process and how you wanna play games.

So, uh, 126 00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:42,640 Speaker 3: that's what we wanna do, and that's what we're headed to, 127 00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:43,440 Speaker 3: just win games. 128 00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:45,120 Speaker 1: What do you see when you look at this, uh 129 00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:47,080 Speaker 1: Panther's receiver room. 130 00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:50,320 Speaker 3: Uh, like the big guys, big guys that can make plays. 131 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:52,520 Speaker 3: And I know hundred rents for I I've played him before. 132 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,240 Speaker 3: He's he's very sneaky.

I think Liam compared him to 143 00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:19,120 Speaker 1: Steph Curry. 144 00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:21,400 Speaker 3: Yeah a lot, honestly.
