1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:01,680
Speaker 1: Bounds our guys and see what they can handle. And

2
00:00:01,680 --> 00:00:04,120
Speaker 1: when you see that they can handle it, it's it's awesome.

3
00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:06,439
Speaker 1: It gives you that flexibility. And he's just a competitive

4
00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:08,560
Speaker 1: kid that's smart, that wants to do it right.

5
00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:11,040
Speaker 2: That it's cleared his mind and allowed him to play

6
00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:11,639
Speaker 2: a little bit faster.

7
00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:14,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, anytime you can. We told him in that block,

8
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:16,479
Speaker 1: it was like, we just want you to focus on

9
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:19,360
Speaker 1: corner this block. So, yeah, that's gonna for anybody. It's

10
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:22,360
Speaker 1: just like when you're learning you have a linebacker who's

11
00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:24,239
Speaker 1: just playing one spot. It doesn't seem like a lot,

12
00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:26,560
Speaker 1: but it's like moving an old linement to a different position.

13
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:29,120
Speaker 1: Anytime you do any of that, it's just harder than

14
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:32,240
Speaker 1: you think. It may sound not that hard on paper

15
00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:34,839
Speaker 1: when you just talk about it, but it is. It's

16
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:37,160
Speaker 1: a big difference. So yeah, it definitely cleared Hi about

17
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:40,120
Speaker 1: to play faster, and it was good to see how

18
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:43,239
Speaker 1: much time has you got a tough fee excuse me.

19
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:49,800
Speaker 1: We've got guys that they've got all that they've been

20
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:51,319
Speaker 1: doing this for a long time and they're really good

21
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 1: at it. So they have all the metrics and the

22
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:56,320
Speaker 1: measurements and all the checkpoints, which he's been going through

23
00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:59,080
Speaker 1: that process. There's so much years and years of data

24
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 1: and they've and with them they'll let us know. So

25
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:05,120
Speaker 1: I think it's just the amount of time a guy

26
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 1: needs just to be comfortable in the I think it

27
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 1: just depends on the player. He's got a lot of experience.

28
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 1: So with someone like Huff, you would trust him, you know,

29
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:16,200
Speaker 1: as long as you know once he comes back and

30
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:19,479
Speaker 1: he's communicating like he did, he's moving like he did,

31
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:22,480
Speaker 1: and you can trust you know what you're seeing, but

32
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 1: also what they're telling you in their comfort level, it

33
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 1: would be different than someone who's new or someone who's

34
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:30,479
Speaker 1: played eight years, you know. So I think with him

35
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 1: it once he feels good and ready to go, you know,

36
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:36,839
Speaker 1: we'll go with that, we're going.

37
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:39,760
Speaker 3: To start having conversations to cut down to fifty three.

38
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 3: And so you're deciding between a guy who's been around

39
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 3: a veteran a little while and a younger guy who

40
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 3: maybe you have some upside there. What kind of goes

41
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 3: into that and how much does now that you can

42
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 3: keep veterans in the practice squad maybe change the equation.

43
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 2: Of what he used to do.

44
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 1: Oh, it makes a huge difference. I mean, it wasn't

45
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 1: too long ago you only had five practice squad players

46
00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 1: and there were so many limitations on that. The standard

47
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 1: elevations now that you can do with players and how

48
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 1: many times you can do it, I think it's I

49
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:08,079
Speaker 1: think it's smart because back in the day, or even

50
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:10,399
Speaker 1: in those days not too long ago, you would play

51
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:13,639
Speaker 1: through injuries. You know, you wouldn't report them or you

52
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 1: would just play through them, where now it's you can

53
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:19,359
Speaker 1: be smarter because you can standard elevate guys and you've

54
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:21,520
Speaker 1: got guys that are in your program that you're developing.

55
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 1: You know, the sixteen and six of them are veterans,

56
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:26,919
Speaker 1: which I think also extends the careers of these guys

57
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 1: that all feel like you could play longer if you

58
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:30,960
Speaker 1: just had a chance that you could hang around. So

59
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:34,240
Speaker 1: it also makes the whole onboarding of players a lot

60
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 1: better too, where they're not just showing up on a

61
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,679
Speaker 1: Monday workout and then you sign them in meeting with

62
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 1: them on Tuesday, and shoot, they could play that week.

63
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 1: That still happens, but you usually want to keep guys

64
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 1: that are in your program, and I think that permeates

65
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 1: throughout the league. And not only is it good, for injuries.

66
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 1: It's good for the product of football. In the NFL.

67
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:56,080
Speaker 1: You see guys that already know what they're doing because

68
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 1: they've been on your team on practice.

69
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:02,960
Speaker 4: Squad clean in terms of injuries, knock on wood, that

70
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:06,639
Speaker 4: are you do? You feel good about where you're at

71
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 4: and you said before You're never going to be totally satisfied,

72
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 4: but it's just about where you hope you'd be at

73
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 4: this point.

74
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 1: It is because of the mindset of the guys. I

75
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:18,839
Speaker 1: think everyone likes who they're playing with and they likes

76
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 1: they like how everything is progressing. Like I said, we

77
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 1: try to make stuff harder for guys, and the communication

78
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 1: is good, the energy is good, and in that respect

79
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 1: I am pleased. You're never totally happy, but as far

80
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 1: as our progress, how our guys are. You know, our

81
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 1: coaches are coaching, how the players are getting coached, and

82
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 1: how they're working together and getting closer together. They work

83
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 1: hard every single day and that's really to me. It's

84
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 1: a day by day I know I've said it before,

85
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 1: I work hard, get better. It's just and being shortsighted

86
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 1: like that's a good thing. I think as.

87
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 5: A playholder, how much flexibility is is Fred give you

88
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 5: and what he can do.

89
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 1: And as a what you said.

90
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 5: Play caller, how much flexibility is Fred Warner give you

91
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 5: in terms of kind of put him in any position

92
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 5: and maybe experiment they give you.

93
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 1: And what makes him so well makes Fred unique, He's

94
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 1: just he's a machine. He's I think he's the best

95
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 1: linebacker in the NFL. I mean, he does it every

96
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 1: single day. He's a he's so consistent. He's a leader.

97
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 1: He plays fast, he plays physical, he plays he attacks

98
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:23,720
Speaker 1: the ball. He's a good tackler, he's good in coverage.

99
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just to me, he's complete. But what

100
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 1: he does is he plays. He practices like that every

101
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 1: single day. That's why you know reference that he's kind

102
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 1: of like a machine. It's just an every single day

103
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,799
Speaker 1: thing with him. And he's trained and it's very serious.

104
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:39,159
Speaker 1: I don't think any player ever played with or have coached.

105
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:42,839
Speaker 1: It's never an accident, it's never a coincidence. There a

106
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:45,839
Speaker 1: lot of times. They are extremely dedicated. They have a

107
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:49,480
Speaker 1: clear plan, and they probably work the hardest.

108
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 2: You've had a month now to look at your new

109
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 2: front four with Bosa and hard Grave and Collins and Floyd.

110
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 2: What are you seeing out of those guys, and I

111
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 2: know you like to rotate am front, but it seems

112
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:03,559
Speaker 2: like with those four they might be able to handle

113
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 2: a bigger.

114
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 3: Workload than normal.

115
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:09,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're fun because they do have such good movement

116
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:11,600
Speaker 1: and power. I think they really work well together. I

117
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 1: think they enjoy, you know, working together on the stunts,

118
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 1: but also you know, taking pride in the run game

119
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 1: that you got to earn your pass rushes by being

120
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:22,040
Speaker 1: good in the run game, and just excited, excited to

121
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:23,280
Speaker 1: see those guys play together.

122
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:27,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, Ram looks pretty special and what does what does

123
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:30,159
Speaker 3: he need to do as far as development to get

124
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:31,040
Speaker 3: to that next level?

125
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 4: So he's running with the ones.

126
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:36,839
Speaker 1: You're talking about. Jalen Graham, Yeah, it's the linebacker room

127
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 1: is really a competitive group right now. As you've seen

128
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:42,159
Speaker 1: those like day Dean Jalen from last year to this

129
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:45,039
Speaker 1: year progressed a lot after that rookie season. But it's

130
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:47,039
Speaker 1: just all of them together have kind of made it

131
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 1: competitive and progressed together. It's really gonna be a tough

132
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 1: decision for us now.

133
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:55,159
Speaker 3: Like obviously plays like a one hundred miles an hour.

134
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:57,599
Speaker 3: That's great, I'm sure, but I.

135
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:00,200
Speaker 5: Knew they were.

136
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 2: Kind of dial obviously you don't want to take away

137
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 2: his aggression. What it's so excellent.

138
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:12,039
Speaker 1: But no, I think there are two of them. You

139
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:14,039
Speaker 1: probably think of one was like both of them are

140
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:15,600
Speaker 1: kind of on the sideline. One of them kind of

141
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:17,479
Speaker 1: got tripped a little bit if you watch it, and

142
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:19,839
Speaker 1: then another one he just he just gotta trust it

143
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 1: and keep going. I don't think he overran it. I

144
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 1: think he just needs to trust And that's our tackling

145
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 1: style of understanding that he can just keep triggering and go.

146
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 1: He's already shown that he can do that, so now

147
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,840
Speaker 1: it's when someone shows that they can do something. All right,

148
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 1: We're more concerned with what you can do. Let's try

149
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 1: and do that as much as possible, right, Thanks guys,
