1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,960 Speaker 1: What's up, everybody? My practice jersey pretty quick. Yeah, they 2 00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:07,240 Speaker 1: ripped it pretty in the first day. But I got 3 00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:10,040 Speaker 1: a new one out there today. Who's the coulport. I'm 4 00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:16,800 Speaker 1: not sure. Just competitions to corporate you can't get this 5 00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:19,560 Speaker 1: kind of proplement though, but they have to actually carry 6 00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:22,040 Speaker 1: your jersey that holds you didn't stop you. Yeah, I 7 00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:23,599 Speaker 1: mean it's kind of funny, you know, like me and 8 00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:25,400 Speaker 1: the d line like laughs about it, and like some 9 00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:28,120 Speaker 1: of my old college friends and you know, the fans 10 00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:29,680 Speaker 1: got a good laugh out of it and stuff like that. 11 00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:32,040 Speaker 1: And you know, I was like joking around to the 12 00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:33,960 Speaker 1: offensive line like, yeah, you guys gotta do all this 13 00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:35,400 Speaker 1: to stop me, and stuff like that. But you know, 14 00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:38,320 Speaker 1: it's friendly competition and that type of stuff happens when 15 00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:42,839 Speaker 1: you're going full speed. You know, look like you a 16 00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:44,760 Speaker 1: couple of snacks where you got a chance to move out, 17 00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:47,440 Speaker 1: pump out to go against the tackles snack you were 18 00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:50,199 Speaker 1: going against Neal at one point. Just as curious when 19 00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:52,599 Speaker 1: you take those challenges, when you get to see, Yeah, 20 00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:55,600 Speaker 1: we had to play where our outside linebacker had to 21 00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:58,160 Speaker 1: cover somebody in the flat and I had to pop 22 00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:01,000 Speaker 1: to outside contained from a three technique, and uh, you know, 23 00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:03,480 Speaker 1: I like being out there on the edge in space sometimes, 24 00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:06,360 Speaker 1: but you know, I primarily like rushing from a three technique, 25 00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:08,680 Speaker 1: but I still like switching it up at from time 26 00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:11,920 Speaker 1: to time and going against different guys. And and uh, 27 00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:14,120 Speaker 1: you know, Evan Neils, he's gonna be a great player, 28 00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:20,360 Speaker 1: and you know, it's fun going against him. Really like 29 00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,200 Speaker 1: instances with a young guy, especially like Evan Neil d 30 00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:26,120 Speaker 1: played clump to the side and maybe teach him stuff, 31 00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:28,120 Speaker 1: give him little tips that he can use to go 32 00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:30,280 Speaker 1: against the ponies, orta kind of peop all that to yourself. 33 00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:32,759 Speaker 1: I haven't really had a chance to talk to him 34 00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:36,640 Speaker 1: so much yet. That's probably some of the offensive lines. Uh. 35 00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:39,320 Speaker 1: You know, I'm sure Andrew Thomas and those some of 36 00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:40,880 Speaker 1: those guys are taking care of him right now. I'm 37 00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:44,080 Speaker 1: still trying to look out for some of my rookies. Uh, 38 00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:45,880 Speaker 1: but you know, I obviously want him to be good, 39 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:48,080 Speaker 1: so I'm you know, I'm gonna give him my best 40 00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:50,120 Speaker 1: whenever I have a chance to go against him. And 41 00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:52,320 Speaker 1: that's the only way he's gonna get prepared, you know, 42 00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:55,920 Speaker 1: for when it's time to go against another person. And uh, 43 00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:57,960 Speaker 1: you know, like I said, he's big, he's strong, and 44 00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:00,800 Speaker 1: he's catching up on the game pretty quick. Speaking of 45 00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:05,440 Speaker 1: your repease whatever you see him from Cavan Okavan. You 46 00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:08,280 Speaker 1: know like in Ots, he didn't practice too much. Um. 47 00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:10,040 Speaker 1: But you know, we're glad to have him back out 48 00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:12,560 Speaker 1: here now. And uh, you know, we're waiting to put 49 00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:15,840 Speaker 1: the pads on to see where everybody's at going full 50 00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:18,760 Speaker 1: speed and full physicalness and uh, you know, so far 51 00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:22,119 Speaker 1: he's uh you know, we're all not just him trying 52 00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:24,960 Speaker 1: to just learn the playbook and the speed of the game. 53 00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:29,200 Speaker 1: Right now, how much have you noticed the the uptick 54 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:31,639 Speaker 1: in the motion that the offense is showing you And 55 00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:34,680 Speaker 1: you know, Brian says that he wants to create conflict. 56 00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:38,400 Speaker 1: What have you noticed the differences and does it create conflict? 57 00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:40,840 Speaker 1: I think it does. You know, the offense is showing 58 00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 1: a lot of diversity, um and it definitely confuses defenses UM. 59 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,520 Speaker 1: And I think when you have you know, enough weapons 60 00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:52,280 Speaker 1: on offense, you can, uh you allow your offense to 61 00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,959 Speaker 1: have that type of diversity. And uh, you know, I 62 00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:57,760 Speaker 1: think it's good for the offense. You can tell him 63 00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:00,560 Speaker 1: already that that their their most priests, that stuff that 64 00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:04,040 Speaker 1: it's making you think more. Maybe. Yeah, you know, I'm 65 00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:06,160 Speaker 1: a defensive lineman, so I get my checks most of 66 00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:08,440 Speaker 1: the time from linebackers and stuff like that. But I 67 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:11,080 Speaker 1: could just hear the safeties and linebackers and a second 68 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:13,760 Speaker 1: level communication, and uh, it's constantly changing it because like 69 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:15,840 Speaker 1: I could tell motions and stuff like that are happening 70 00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:17,920 Speaker 1: while my hands and the Derek because I could hear 71 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:20,799 Speaker 1: those guys communicating in the back end, and uh, you know, 72 00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,400 Speaker 1: it's it's causing a little bit of confusion, and it's 73 00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:25,600 Speaker 1: it's good for us as well, you know, as a defense. Uh, 74 00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:28,560 Speaker 1: you know, learn our communication and and things that we 75 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 1: have to check and all that stuff as well. And 76 00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:32,440 Speaker 1: like I said, it's uh, you know, the offense is 77 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:35,080 Speaker 1: doing a good job of creating that diversity as a defense. 78 00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:37,040 Speaker 1: I mean during the season, you're winning into teams. Last 79 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:40,320 Speaker 1: year they used pre snap motion and when I said collectively, 80 00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:43,520 Speaker 1: sometimes it's done for I can't even then other Tigers. 81 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,920 Speaker 1: It's more dangerous when it's actually with a purpose. Do 82 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:50,160 Speaker 1: you guys almost get a sense you can tell the difference. Yeah, 83 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:51,680 Speaker 1: even though I came to stuff, it's like a lot 84 00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:53,240 Speaker 1: of times they'll do it just to see if I 85 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:55,119 Speaker 1: wear a man or zone and stuff like that, which 86 00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:57,560 Speaker 1: is still helpful for the offense, but uh, you know, 87 00:03:57,720 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 1: even further than that, they're doing it, like you said, 88 00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:03,600 Speaker 1: just to create different matchups, create different type of weapons 89 00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 1: and stuff like that, and uh, you know, sometimes get 90 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,160 Speaker 1: like a really speedy like slot type of guy lined 91 00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:10,240 Speaker 1: up on a you know, a linebacker which is a 92 00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:12,400 Speaker 1: mitch match and stuff like that, and uh, they're doing 93 00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:14,920 Speaker 1: a good job of that. Right now, the SA defense 94 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:18,640 Speaker 1: still in a feeling outstage trying to learn everything or 95 00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:22,240 Speaker 1: are you how far along are you? We pretty much 96 00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:25,520 Speaker 1: almost installed everything, uh during O T A S we're 97 00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:29,400 Speaker 1: still learning. We're still like restarting obviously, and we didn't 98 00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:32,400 Speaker 1: put everything in yet. But you know, I felt like 99 00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:34,080 Speaker 1: near the end of O T AS guys are picking 100 00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:36,200 Speaker 1: it up pretty quickly. It feels like we got it 101 00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:39,240 Speaker 1: down pretty good. The communication was good, and now we're 102 00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:41,120 Speaker 1: you know, starting from the beginning again and it's like 103 00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:43,560 Speaker 1: it feels even easier learning at this time around you 104 00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:46,159 Speaker 1: feel like you're going to be any good. Ah. Yeah, 105 00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:48,240 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I feel like Week is a 106 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:50,680 Speaker 1: great coach. I feel like this defense is doing a 107 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:54,599 Speaker 1: good job of coming together and being like a unified defense. 108 00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:56,360 Speaker 1: And I think that's the most important thing with a 109 00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:58,720 Speaker 1: with a defense that has so many moving parts, you 110 00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:01,480 Speaker 1: know what I mean. The communication in the unity as 111 00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:03,200 Speaker 1: the defenses is really major
