1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:01,680 Speaker 1: You know, we're counting down there. I guess there was 2 00:00:01,720 --> 00:00:06,080 Speaker 1: practice fourteen. I like where we're at defensively, a lot 3 00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:07,720 Speaker 1: of things to improve on. We still have a lot 4 00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:08,639 Speaker 1: of great competition. 5 00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:12,360 Speaker 2: So with that all opened up and cushions, how. 6 00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:14,920 Speaker 1: Many cases of pepto do you wear for yourself when 7 00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:17,600 Speaker 1: you start to contemplate putting two rookies at cornerback? 8 00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:19,120 Speaker 2: None at all. 9 00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:21,439 Speaker 1: I mean, you're going to play the best guys, And 10 00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:23,040 Speaker 1: I mean that's just like I said, there's a lot 11 00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:24,960 Speaker 1: of still a lot of competition going on out there, 12 00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:28,160 Speaker 1: but it just so happens though they're both you know, 13 00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:30,320 Speaker 1: playing really well right now. They deserve their ups with 14 00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:33,480 Speaker 1: the ones. And that's what this league's all about. That's 15 00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:36,199 Speaker 1: what our organization and David and Joe's all about. And 16 00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:38,839 Speaker 1: we're excited to see their growth. Every day is a 17 00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:41,320 Speaker 1: new day for him, you know, as far as there's 18 00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:43,840 Speaker 1: something else they find out, there's a different kind of shift, 19 00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:47,080 Speaker 1: there's a different kind of movement, and you know, the 20 00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:50,760 Speaker 1: fashion that that can become just natural to them instead 21 00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:53,280 Speaker 1: of thinking while they're doing it, the fashion you'll see 22 00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:56,240 Speaker 1: them make more plays and it's fun to watch. Is 23 00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:59,520 Speaker 1: this something you had in mind as early as draft weekend. 24 00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:02,080 Speaker 2: Or the no. I think it. I think it all happens. 25 00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:06,880 Speaker 1: I mean, I knew the player that Deontay was, and 26 00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:09,920 Speaker 1: I just didn't know the level that where Trey was at, 27 00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:13,520 Speaker 1: you know. And uh, he's stepped up to every challenge 28 00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:15,959 Speaker 1: that we've given him, and he's playing well right. 29 00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:18,440 Speaker 3: Now, how would you assess how both of those guys 30 00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:19,679 Speaker 3: played in the game. 31 00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:21,520 Speaker 2: You got him a lot of work, right. 32 00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:25,720 Speaker 1: I think that when the lights came on in a 33 00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:31,400 Speaker 1: real game, they both played very well, very well, and uh, 34 00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:33,840 Speaker 1: it was fun to watch. And I think that the 35 00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:38,640 Speaker 1: practices on Tuesday and Wednesday help them help them with 36 00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:42,319 Speaker 1: their confidence going into the game. You know, the the unknown, 37 00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:44,600 Speaker 1: the unknown fear you know of you know, what's this 38 00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:47,000 Speaker 1: going to be like going against somebody else. So I 39 00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:49,280 Speaker 1: thought that was that was really good for him. From 40 00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:52,640 Speaker 1: the outside, it looks like Kinnock's early season, his opportunity 41 00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:56,120 Speaker 1: of safety. Uh, but it looks like you're also trying 42 00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:59,840 Speaker 1: to find ways to get Dane on the field. Yeah, 43 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:04,360 Speaker 1: go ahead. I think that there's times it's you know, 44 00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:06,560 Speaker 1: I've said the four standing up here that you know, 45 00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:09,680 Speaker 1: the NFL is a matchup game now, and there were 46 00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:11,880 Speaker 1: times last year we played with four safeties on the field, 47 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:16,160 Speaker 1: so you know, depending on the opponent, depending on you know, 48 00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:20,079 Speaker 1: the health of everyone and everything else. There's a great 49 00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:24,040 Speaker 1: competition there at safety too, because I think Bobby McCain 50 00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:26,560 Speaker 1: showing up and he showed up in the game as well, 51 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:30,000 Speaker 1: you know, veteran that knows what he's doing. And so 52 00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:33,800 Speaker 1: there's those four and then you saw the progression of 53 00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:38,440 Speaker 1: g O and AC you know there in the second half. 54 00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:39,960 Speaker 2: I thought they both played really well. 55 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:43,280 Speaker 1: So it's it's great competition in that room. 56 00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:45,360 Speaker 2: Jordan Riley get a lot of reps just because of 57 00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:46,399 Speaker 2: injuries on the D line. 58 00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:49,920 Speaker 1: What have you seen from him? And I don't classify 59 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:51,960 Speaker 1: just because the injuries on the D line. I think 60 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:53,920 Speaker 1: that he was going to get those kind of reps anyway. 61 00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:57,079 Speaker 1: You know, going into the game, he's you know, Dre 62 00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,240 Speaker 1: and b Cox have done a great job with him 63 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,880 Speaker 1: and he progressed every day. As long as he keeps 64 00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:05,400 Speaker 1: with that progression, it's it's you know, something like I 65 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:08,000 Speaker 1: told DJ yesterday, and for the whole defense, it's a 66 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 1: different landscape up front for us, and you guys can 67 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:12,160 Speaker 1: see it just physically. 68 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:13,960 Speaker 2: See the difference in our D line. 69 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,079 Speaker 1: So, just like I talked about the safeties, there's a 70 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:19,440 Speaker 1: great competition in the D line row, you know, led 71 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:22,679 Speaker 1: by Dex and Leo. I think another place that you 72 00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:26,880 Speaker 1: have competition is at that second inside linebacker small How 73 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:30,679 Speaker 1: would you assess what you're seeing from Beaver's and McFadden. 74 00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:30,720 Speaker 2: At this pint? 75 00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:34,320 Speaker 1: I tell you I thought Micah played really well in 76 00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:36,880 Speaker 1: the game, and he did a lot of good things, 77 00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:39,920 Speaker 1: and I think that you know, like this is truly 78 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:43,160 Speaker 1: Beaver's rookie year, you know, because the ACL and he's 79 00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:45,880 Speaker 1: missed so many practices that you know that Mike has 80 00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:49,080 Speaker 1: got a year under his belt, and you know, it's 81 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,880 Speaker 1: it's good competition that Mike is definitely leading right now. 82 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:55,000 Speaker 1: So we'll see where that goes and where that takes it. 83 00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:58,360 Speaker 3: Are you opening to adding, like say, Anthony. 84 00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:01,800 Speaker 1: Barr or I'm opening to adding anybody that Joe and 85 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:02,960 Speaker 1: Daves think that we need. 86 00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:04,600 Speaker 2: And what's your comfort level? 87 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,480 Speaker 3: They're both pretty young, right you mentioned guys and rookie 88 00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:10,160 Speaker 3: one guys, right, was rookie last year, So what's your 89 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:12,000 Speaker 3: comfort level with those two if you roll into. 90 00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,200 Speaker 1: The year with them well, uh, you know, you always 91 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:16,280 Speaker 1: want as a coach, you always want a coordinator, You 92 00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:18,440 Speaker 1: always want as many good players as you can get. 93 00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:22,160 Speaker 2: So, like I said, I wouldn't say no to anything, and. 94 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:26,240 Speaker 1: But there's once again it sounds like a broken record. 95 00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:29,039 Speaker 1: There's a good competition there. But I definitely, you know, 96 00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:33,920 Speaker 1: I would say that Mike is leading it right now? 97 00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:37,359 Speaker 1: Do you we've obviously seen a dory in the thought 98 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:39,520 Speaker 1: a bunch right, would you. 99 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:42,840 Speaker 2: Consider doing that full time? 100 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:45,040 Speaker 1: For lack of a better term, is that something that 101 00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:48,240 Speaker 1: you're at least contemplating at this point, Jordan? You know me, 102 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 1: you sell some different things out there that you're like, 103 00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:52,839 Speaker 1: what is he doing? I mean, we we consider everything 104 00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:57,120 Speaker 1: and uh you know with the with the matchups that 105 00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,240 Speaker 1: you would have that you know that they'd give us 106 00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:02,120 Speaker 1: great verse at til and uh, you know, we'll see 107 00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:06,280 Speaker 1: where that goes. He's good, god, I mean just because 108 00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:09,279 Speaker 1: of his coverage skills number one, his speed, his athleticism, 109 00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:11,159 Speaker 1: everything that made him our number. 110 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:12,960 Speaker 2: One corner last year he still has. 111 00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:16,679 Speaker 1: And you know, I think when you go into these games, 112 00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:19,040 Speaker 1: you want to play, you know, in any sub package, 113 00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:21,240 Speaker 1: you want to play your three best corners, and right 114 00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,080 Speaker 1: now those are our three best corners. So there's nothing 115 00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:28,240 Speaker 1: you know, set in stone yet, you know what I mean, 116 00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:30,560 Speaker 1: And we'll see how how it works out. 117 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:33,159 Speaker 2: Wait, why do you think Hawkins wasn't drafted until the 118 00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:35,839 Speaker 2: sixth round? I have no idea. I mean that whole thing, 119 00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:38,160 Speaker 2: the whole draft process. 120 00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:42,760 Speaker 1: And I think that Joe, you know, he took he 121 00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:45,599 Speaker 1: took Trey on On, you know, his traits that he has. 122 00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:49,400 Speaker 1: He's you know, as big, he's long, he's fast, and 123 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:51,800 Speaker 1: I mean there's lots of guys that didn't get drafted 124 00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:53,560 Speaker 1: until later rounds. 125 00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:56,120 Speaker 2: You know, starting with Tom Brady, you know. 126 00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:58,239 Speaker 1: But I think it's just you know, I'm not saying 127 00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:00,440 Speaker 1: he's the Tom Brady corners, don't get me wrong, but 128 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,200 Speaker 1: I'm just saying, you know, I can't tell you why. 129 00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:04,760 Speaker 2: It's just that's where he fell into the draft. 130 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,520 Speaker 1: Do you see a huge difference between him and your 131 00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:10,200 Speaker 1: first round pick in terms of their learning on the 132 00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:13,080 Speaker 1: field and they're acclimating in the NFL game. I think 133 00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:18,880 Speaker 1: that they're different in all kinds of ways, and I 134 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:22,479 Speaker 1: think that it's great competition for both of them to 135 00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:25,440 Speaker 1: try to you know, they're both rookies to try to compete, 136 00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:27,960 Speaker 1: and you know, once you get here, this is one 137 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:31,280 Speaker 1: of the things I love with Joe and Daves. Once 138 00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:33,480 Speaker 1: you get here, it doesn't matter how you got here. 139 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:35,960 Speaker 1: And I'm sure you've heard Dave say this before. We're 140 00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:39,160 Speaker 1: going to play the best eleven that you can play 141 00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:43,240 Speaker 1: that day. And I mean, that's what is exciting during 142 00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:46,479 Speaker 1: training camp for coaches, and I would think it would 143 00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:49,480 Speaker 1: be exciting for the players because they all get treated equally, 144 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:51,720 Speaker 1: as you know, all ninety of them coming in that building. 145 00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:56,320 Speaker 3: With Belton, I know, last year for the most part 146 00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:59,400 Speaker 3: from the outside, you know, he was compromised physically with 147 00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:02,680 Speaker 3: that that clavigal for most of the year. Are we 148 00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:05,360 Speaker 3: seeing him now the plays that he's made, especially in 149 00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:08,240 Speaker 3: the last week or so, that he feels like he's 150 00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:11,320 Speaker 3: back one hundred percent of what you need him. 151 00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:12,520 Speaker 2: To do in his defense? I hope. 152 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:15,720 Speaker 1: So, you know, I think that you know, he was 153 00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:19,120 Speaker 1: making those plays last year before the injury. He's one 154 00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:21,800 Speaker 1: of those guys that the ball finds him and he 155 00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:24,240 Speaker 1: finds the ball, and that's a great trait to have 156 00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:27,040 Speaker 1: when you're in the secondary in the National Football League. 157 00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:29,400 Speaker 2: So I'm really happy for him. 158 00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:33,680 Speaker 1: He is healthy, you know, and I'm seeing the Dane 159 00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:36,120 Speaker 1: that I thought that I would see being healthy. 160 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:37,240 Speaker 2: You know. 161 00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:41,280 Speaker 3: One of the one of the first few plays on defense, 162 00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:44,640 Speaker 3: Pinnock had the interception, but Fox seemed to get the hit. 163 00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:45,640 Speaker 3: How is he played? 164 00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:48,240 Speaker 1: I think I think Toman's done a nice job. I mean, 165 00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:52,320 Speaker 1: Timan knows he you know, undrafted free agent from North Carolina. Uh, 166 00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:55,680 Speaker 1: he knew how he made the team last year. And 167 00:07:55,760 --> 00:08:01,480 Speaker 1: he has to keep that mindset, which he has every 168 00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:04,000 Speaker 1: every day the rest of his career. I mean, because 169 00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:08,720 Speaker 1: if you though those those those late undrafted free agents, 170 00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:11,680 Speaker 1: the late round draft choices, they have a chip on 171 00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:14,400 Speaker 1: their shoulder and they should, you know, because they know 172 00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:16,440 Speaker 1: they belong at this level. And you know, that was 173 00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:18,560 Speaker 1: one of his better pass rushes I've seen since he's 174 00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:21,440 Speaker 1: been here, and obviously caused a big play on the 175 00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:22,520 Speaker 1: first play of the game. 176 00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:27,120 Speaker 3: With Riley in that defensive line room. When you look 177 00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:30,080 Speaker 3: around and you see Dex and Leo and Nacho and 178 00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:32,720 Speaker 3: a Sean, some guys who come in as a seventh 179 00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:35,320 Speaker 3: round pick might shrink from that a little bit and say, 180 00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:37,719 Speaker 3: all right, maybe it's not my turn to kind of 181 00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:40,120 Speaker 3: step up. He seems to have done the opposite. He 182 00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:43,000 Speaker 3: actually said yesterday, he's pretty comfortable in asking those guys, 183 00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:45,680 Speaker 3: do you see that what about him as a person. 184 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:48,800 Speaker 1: Or as a player, that that if you looked at 185 00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:52,280 Speaker 1: Jordan that might be one of the first times they 186 00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:56,679 Speaker 1: talked about Jordan Riley and shrink. He's a large man 187 00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:59,440 Speaker 1: and he's very confident. Now he's green, and he's got 188 00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:03,880 Speaker 1: a great room. Decks and Leo, a Sean and Nacho. 189 00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:09,559 Speaker 1: Players know players, and they know he can help us, 190 00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:12,960 Speaker 1: and they're helping him every day anything. They help everybody 191 00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:16,320 Speaker 1: in the room. But I see them always talking to 192 00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:19,440 Speaker 1: him on the field, and I think that that's just 193 00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:22,840 Speaker 1: fantastic because when you think about it, it's like you 194 00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:27,240 Speaker 1: train in another reporter to take your job, you know 195 00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:30,840 Speaker 1: what I mean. And I think that's what's great about 196 00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:33,640 Speaker 1: that that room is that they're you know, they know 197 00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:34,680 Speaker 1: what we need to win. 198 00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:38,480 Speaker 2: And I'm excited for the kid. Do you think I 199 00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:41,400 Speaker 2: want when do you think Avon's camp and particularly just 200 00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:43,959 Speaker 2: how he did and the joint practices in Detroit, Well, 201 00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:44,600 Speaker 2: you know. 202 00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:49,920 Speaker 1: I thought that in Detroit, you know, on Tuesday and Wednesday, 203 00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:52,280 Speaker 1: I think he costs two fumbles and recovered two fumbles. 204 00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:58,000 Speaker 1: I expect him to be at the top of everything 205 00:09:58,080 --> 00:09:59,760 Speaker 1: it's and so do we. And I've talked to him, 206 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:03,400 Speaker 1: uh you know, his practice and we need you know, 207 00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:06,240 Speaker 1: I think that he heard me clearly and I talked 208 00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:09,800 Speaker 1: to him from the entire defense. So Cavon is going 209 00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:11,760 Speaker 1: to be fine, first of all. And like I said, 210 00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:14,160 Speaker 1: he caused two fumbles and he recovered two fumbels. Like 211 00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:16,840 Speaker 1: we had like in the two days, we had like 212 00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:19,880 Speaker 1: eight takeaways against what were they? They were a top 213 00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:24,360 Speaker 1: five offense last year, which gave us confidence ourselves and 214 00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:25,760 Speaker 1: the way we competed there. 215 00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:29,080 Speaker 2: You know, we talk to him about his practice in 216 00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:29,800 Speaker 2: front of the defense. 217 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,760 Speaker 1: I do no, I do keep it real with everybody 218 00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:37,600 Speaker 1: on where they're at and why they're there. And because 219 00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:39,680 Speaker 1: the last thing I want as a coach is for 220 00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:41,520 Speaker 1: a player to drive in this parking lot and not 221 00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:45,000 Speaker 1: know where they stand, especially especially this time of year, 222 00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:48,920 Speaker 1: you know, because I think that you know, we we 223 00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:52,040 Speaker 1: build our relationships, we build our foundation on. 224 00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:55,680 Speaker 2: Trust in honesty, and you know, I tell them, you 225 00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:56,160 Speaker 2: know what I. 226 00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:59,320 Speaker 1: Think and where they stand, and it's you know, where 227 00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:02,280 Speaker 1: the competition is, where the line is. I talk about 228 00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:04,840 Speaker 1: all that, so you know, like I said, you know, 229 00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:07,520 Speaker 1: we had a great week in Detroit. I'm sure you 230 00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:10,959 Speaker 1: haven't heard that quote very often, but it was. It 231 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:15,080 Speaker 1: was a great week, and I'm excited to take this 232 00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:15,720 Speaker 1: next step.
