1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:01,599 Speaker 1: I want to ask you a couple of things about 2 00:00:01,639 --> 00:00:04,320 Speaker 1: the inside linebacker position. I'm first, I was wondering if 3 00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:06,680 Speaker 1: you have any update on Blake Martinez, very sad, and 4 00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:08,160 Speaker 1: if you know when he's gonna able to come back. 5 00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:10,079 Speaker 1: And then a guy a Carter Coffin, I know you 6 00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:12,200 Speaker 1: guys will move him inside and he's been getting a 7 00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:13,640 Speaker 1: lot of raps, like what have you seen out of 8 00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:16,640 Speaker 1: him so far? Yes, I'll start with Blake first. Blake's 9 00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:18,520 Speaker 1: back with us in the building today. He's you know, 10 00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:20,800 Speaker 1: he's his normal self, smiling are ever being back of 11 00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:23,160 Speaker 1: the team. He's always a lot of fun to have around. 12 00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:25,239 Speaker 1: He's always got a good comment, but definitely a guy 13 00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:27,080 Speaker 1: communicates a lot in the meetings. So it's been beneficial 14 00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:29,640 Speaker 1: having him back already. Uh. In terms of where and 15 00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:31,080 Speaker 1: he'll be on the field with us, the plan right 16 00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:33,639 Speaker 1: away is getting with the trainers and uh continue he's 17 00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:36,040 Speaker 1: kind of ramp up and building back physically. When when 18 00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:38,040 Speaker 1: we know he's ready to go, we'll get him back 19 00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:41,120 Speaker 1: on the field. Uh. In terms of Carter, Carter is 20 00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:42,519 Speaker 1: a young player that you know, we're looking to go 21 00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:44,360 Speaker 1: ahead and just find as much versatility as we can 22 00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:46,879 Speaker 1: from him last year, he gave us some contributions on 23 00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:48,919 Speaker 1: the edge, worked on special teams. Force did a good 24 00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:51,080 Speaker 1: job there. You know, we talked to the off season 25 00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:53,040 Speaker 1: about you know, working him some in the stack as 26 00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:56,000 Speaker 1: an inside linebacker. That's something we've challenged him with. He 27 00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:58,320 Speaker 1: still has some outside responsibilities as well, based on the 28 00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:01,200 Speaker 1: package and call Warren. But car is actually flashed pretty 29 00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:02,680 Speaker 1: positively in these first few days. You know, I think 30 00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:04,399 Speaker 1: a lot of the guys have done some positive things 31 00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:06,399 Speaker 1: and that builds on how we can use different guys 32 00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:08,760 Speaker 1: that are skill sets, you know. Being a new position 33 00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:10,479 Speaker 1: for Carter, we understand it's gonna be a learning curve 34 00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:12,720 Speaker 1: at times. But look, one thing he does is he 35 00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:15,200 Speaker 1: plays aggressive and he plays instinctual, so you know, he 36 00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:17,920 Speaker 1: puts himself in position, you know, to be competitive on 37 00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:20,000 Speaker 1: every practice. So we're just looking for constant proving him 38 00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:22,360 Speaker 1: day by day. But you know, so far, everything that 39 00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:24,839 Speaker 1: Kevin's asked m do is an inside or outside linebacker. 40 00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:30,679 Speaker 1: You know, he's embracing Kens there. Yeah, Joe, with regard 41 00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:32,720 Speaker 1: to Andrew Thomas, I'm just kind of curious, you know, 42 00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:34,880 Speaker 1: when these kids come in and are drafted so high, 43 00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:37,200 Speaker 1: you know, there's so much pressure on them and eyeballs 44 00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:39,880 Speaker 1: on them. I wonder what your impression was on how 45 00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:43,240 Speaker 1: he did perform last year and if you're already seeing 46 00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:45,280 Speaker 1: in this offseason kind of a different, you know, guy 47 00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:46,880 Speaker 1: that's a little bit more in tune with the system 48 00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:48,520 Speaker 1: and whatnot for you know, as you as you move 49 00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:50,919 Speaker 1: into this camp. Yeah, I think one thing about Andrews 50 00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:52,800 Speaker 1: he's always kind of the same person. That's one thing. 51 00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:55,800 Speaker 1: He's very very steady. Obviously last year as a rookie. 52 00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,400 Speaker 1: Like all rookies, there's definitely a learning curve, and that 53 00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:00,600 Speaker 1: learning curve includes how in the matter, you know, the 54 00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:04,440 Speaker 1: external expectations and noise. But I'd say for Andrew one 55 00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:06,040 Speaker 1: thing he's done a really good job of is really 56 00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:08,640 Speaker 1: buying into just focusing one day at a time, of 57 00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:10,880 Speaker 1: having a narrow focus and I understand what the goal 58 00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:12,720 Speaker 1: at hand is for that day. You know, he's a 59 00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:15,639 Speaker 1: very conscientious person. He's a really good teammates, a very 60 00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:18,120 Speaker 1: hard worker. Uh. You definitely see some of the growth 61 00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:21,440 Speaker 1: that he showed last year showing up. But then again, 62 00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:23,720 Speaker 1: like all other players, it's early in training camp and 63 00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:25,639 Speaker 1: there's a lot of fundamentals that we have to constantly, 64 00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:27,440 Speaker 1: you know, work on with all of our players to 65 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:29,760 Speaker 1: keep building in that muscle memory that we've lost over 66 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:31,959 Speaker 1: this time away. He's no different from any player in 67 00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,680 Speaker 1: that regard, although he worked extremely hard of it, and 68 00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:37,640 Speaker 1: every day he flashes several things that you say, okay, 69 00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:39,200 Speaker 1: and that's why this guy was, you know, such a 70 00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 1: gifted athlete growing up. Chris, Hey, coach, you got a 71 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,560 Speaker 1: young quinta cornaback of draft pick with Davies Speen has 72 00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:49,040 Speaker 1: been a nice place. I see. He seems to be 73 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,120 Speaker 1: a young man at who is a confidence. Can you 74 00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:53,480 Speaker 1: talk about him what you're seeing out of him? And um, 75 00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:56,359 Speaker 1: can you get a little updated Lemenzo quart it too? Yeah, 76 00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 1: I'll start with Zoe. I mean, Zoe right now is 77 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:00,600 Speaker 1: working with the trainers. Will see where he is in 78 00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:03,360 Speaker 1: terms of practice coming up. Today's all walk through. Uh So, 79 00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,200 Speaker 1: I'll meet with the trainers later this afternoon. We have 80 00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:06,680 Speaker 1: a list of players that may or may not be 81 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:08,960 Speaker 1: involved tonight. Uh be though you know he's been the 82 00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:11,160 Speaker 1: trainer's last couple of days, working stremely hard with them. 83 00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:13,640 Speaker 1: He's obviously got coming off an injury last year that 84 00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:16,160 Speaker 1: you know, as we get him going through football this 85 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,320 Speaker 1: training camp. We've also got to manage him a little bit, 86 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:20,000 Speaker 1: make sure that we just keep tabs on his body 87 00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:21,560 Speaker 1: to make sure as we get to the season that 88 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:23,680 Speaker 1: he can stay on the field consistently for us and 89 00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,960 Speaker 1: his health. Are don't want priority in terms of Row. Uh. Look, 90 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,720 Speaker 1: Row's a guy that's coming. He's got a lot of instincts. 91 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,839 Speaker 1: He's got good size and length, shows good speed, He's 92 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:34,920 Speaker 1: got instincts for the ball and shows good hands. So 93 00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:36,440 Speaker 1: he's a guy that's shown up positively in a lot 94 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:38,920 Speaker 1: of practice as far as getting hands on ball. I think, 95 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,120 Speaker 1: like all rookies again, there's a learning curve for this guy. 96 00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:44,160 Speaker 1: The big thing is understanding the scheme and the concepts 97 00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:46,240 Speaker 1: right now. But he's doing a really good job with 98 00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:49,240 Speaker 1: Jerome of working on his fundamentals and going forward. And 99 00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:51,200 Speaker 1: this guy's making gains every day. You know, you can 100 00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:53,680 Speaker 1: see that one thing he does do that's positive, he 101 00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:56,160 Speaker 1: learns not only from his own mistakes, he learns from 102 00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:58,040 Speaker 1: the other guy's mistakes too. So you sit in meetings, 103 00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:00,280 Speaker 1: it's important not to go ahead and repeat it mistake 104 00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:04,640 Speaker 1: that someone else got corrected on Rock. Thanks Joe Is 105 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:09,200 Speaker 1: Zoe's UH injury due to his uh achilles or is 106 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:11,960 Speaker 1: it something something else? Yeah, I'm not gonna go any 107 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 1: specific medical diagnosis. Um, it's not a reaggravation of anything 108 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,440 Speaker 1: he's done before though. Be honest with Tom, Um, we're 109 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:20,240 Speaker 1: just gonna be careful with a few things right there, 110 00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:22,280 Speaker 1: and with anyone come off an injury like he was 111 00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:24,000 Speaker 1: that we're just making sure that we have a plan 112 00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:26,680 Speaker 1: entering training camp how to handle him throughout it. So 113 00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:28,800 Speaker 1: you know, with him and several other guys coming off injury, 114 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,080 Speaker 1: there's gonna be periods within this training camp that you 115 00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:32,480 Speaker 1: know you're gonna see a little bit less of him 116 00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:34,280 Speaker 1: at times, and then you're gonna see a lot of them. 117 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,080 Speaker 1: So right now he's one of those periods. Company with 118 00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:40,240 Speaker 1: something else that happened in practice. And uh, can you 119 00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 1: talk a little bit about Todd Davis who you just 120 00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:45,120 Speaker 1: brought in. Yeah, Look, we're really uh, we're looking forward 121 00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:46,479 Speaker 1: to get him on the field and you just signed 122 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:48,920 Speaker 1: with us, so we're excited about that and he'll come 123 00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:51,000 Speaker 1: in and you know, compete with the other linebackers of 124 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,560 Speaker 1: the position and work through his defense responsibility as well 125 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:55,920 Speaker 1: as roles in the kicking game. You know, got to 126 00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:57,600 Speaker 1: meet with him today, sit down face to face and 127 00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:00,960 Speaker 1: have a good conversation. Liked his energy. Um, I've known 128 00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:02,559 Speaker 1: him as a player in the league for some time, 129 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:06,000 Speaker 1: but uh made a good first impression personality wise, and 130 00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:11,479 Speaker 1: I'm excited get him on the field. Jordan's Hey, Joe, curious, 131 00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 1: what do you think of the assessment that maybe the 132 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,680 Speaker 1: defense has gotten better at the offense so far early 133 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:19,760 Speaker 1: in camp and how much do you maybe expect that 134 00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:21,960 Speaker 1: to be the case or or I know some people 135 00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:23,840 Speaker 1: always say, you know the defense is ahead early in 136 00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:27,960 Speaker 1: camp than the offenses. I think we all planned to 137 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:29,839 Speaker 1: work on right now. Jordan's So, in terms of who's 138 00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,200 Speaker 1: ahead of someone one way or another, I'm watching tape 139 00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:33,839 Speaker 1: every day and just looking at what corrections we have 140 00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:36,080 Speaker 1: to make, what we have to improve on, what fundamentals 141 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:37,680 Speaker 1: need to be honed in, and how our conditioning is 142 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:39,720 Speaker 1: as a team. So in terms of who's the head 143 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:42,160 Speaker 1: of offense or defense, you know that that's gonna go 144 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,520 Speaker 1: back and forth at different times day to day. So 145 00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:46,839 Speaker 1: to me, that's not some kind of assessment or status 146 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:49,320 Speaker 1: of the team of who's winning offense or defense. To me, 147 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:51,200 Speaker 1: it's about getting everybody on the same page and moving 148 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:53,600 Speaker 1: Excuse me, So I just say, look at this point 149 00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,640 Speaker 1: right here, Uh, the defense made some positive plays yesterday. 150 00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:57,960 Speaker 1: We've got to make sure that we have a positive 151 00:05:58,000 --> 00:05:59,760 Speaker 1: day today and what we're doing, and we built towards 152 00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:02,800 Speaker 1: next week. Were you happy with from the offense the 153 00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,160 Speaker 1: last couple of days it looked like after practice yesterday 154 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:08,280 Speaker 1: they kind of huddled up as a group U instead 155 00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:10,440 Speaker 1: of like breaking before they broke down kind of into 156 00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:14,040 Speaker 1: individual positions. Yeah, that's not a common on any side 157 00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:16,040 Speaker 1: of the ball to go ahead and group together as 158 00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:17,440 Speaker 1: a unit. We meet as a team at the end 159 00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:20,400 Speaker 1: of practice, go through. Really, it's more logistics than anything else. 160 00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:21,680 Speaker 1: It's not a state of the union. We make sure 161 00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:23,919 Speaker 1: the players are on the same page schedule wise, and 162 00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:25,479 Speaker 1: a couple of tips and reminders of what to do 163 00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:28,320 Speaker 1: before the next meeting comes up. So there's nothing uncommon 164 00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:30,640 Speaker 1: about whether it's Pat or Jason or t Mac grabbing 165 00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:33,799 Speaker 1: a unit and address them directly right away after something 166 00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:36,120 Speaker 1: may have happened good or bad, or just reminder leading 167 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:38,279 Speaker 1: in what they have to work on later that afternoon. 168 00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:40,800 Speaker 1: So I would read too far into that that's something 169 00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:43,560 Speaker 1: that's very commonplace. The coordinates are always gonna dress their 170 00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:50,240 Speaker 1: units collectively that time for two more sports sports. Hey, Joe, 171 00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:53,960 Speaker 1: when when you you sit many many times that you 172 00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:56,640 Speaker 1: don't care. You know a guy's pedigreed first round pick, 173 00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:58,840 Speaker 1: third round pick, you know, free agent, You know when 174 00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:01,480 Speaker 1: they come into your facility, you look at them all 175 00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:03,600 Speaker 1: the same pretty much. When you look at a guy 176 00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:06,279 Speaker 1: like John Ross, I mean he everyone knows his background 177 00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:08,960 Speaker 1: and how high he was drafted. Do you see some 178 00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:11,680 Speaker 1: of that in him and say, oh, I see why 179 00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:13,880 Speaker 1: this guy was a form of first round draft pick. 180 00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:16,840 Speaker 1: And do those kind kind of guys get more chances 181 00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:19,680 Speaker 1: because of that. I'm not going to comment on any 182 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:22,120 Speaker 1: other organization in terms of what they're gonna give opportunities 183 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:24,920 Speaker 1: for based on some kind of status. Um, but I 184 00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:27,520 Speaker 1: can you know, reconfirm what you said. Look, I don't 185 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:29,520 Speaker 1: care how you got here. I really don't. I don't 186 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:32,360 Speaker 1: care if your first round free agent, vet, rookie, traded, 187 00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:34,880 Speaker 1: whatever it is. It doesn't matter us. Once you get 188 00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:37,000 Speaker 1: in here, that's a land of opportunity. Best players will 189 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,920 Speaker 1: play all right. You've got to show consistent dependability and 190 00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:42,360 Speaker 1: production all right throughout training camp to show that we 191 00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:44,239 Speaker 1: can count on you. We're gonna keep the best fifty 192 00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:46,520 Speaker 1: three players. I don't care what your history is. Now. 193 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:48,840 Speaker 1: In terms specific to John, I've seen a lot of 194 00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:50,560 Speaker 1: things in terms of how he's working and producing on 195 00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:52,160 Speaker 1: the field, and there's been a lot of encouraging things 196 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:55,640 Speaker 1: to build on. Obviously, he has elite speed, and obviously 197 00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:57,960 Speaker 1: he's a very good athlete. But there's a lot of 198 00:07:57,960 --> 00:07:59,600 Speaker 1: fast guys, meaning over in Tokyo, there's a lot of 199 00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:01,640 Speaker 1: guys are hand paton's alto each other, you know, can't 200 00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:04,000 Speaker 1: help you on the field. I think John's definitely, you know, 201 00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:05,920 Speaker 1: got a skill set that he does a good job 202 00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:08,760 Speaker 1: of combined and you know that speed and athleticism with 203 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:11,760 Speaker 1: football instincts. So in terms of what may have happened 204 00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:14,160 Speaker 1: anywhere else with any player, I'm not concerned about that. 205 00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:15,680 Speaker 1: I know John's on our team now. I'm happy to 206 00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:17,400 Speaker 1: have him here and uh, you know, he's on a 207 00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:19,000 Speaker 1: fresh start with us and looking forward to working with 208 00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:20,520 Speaker 1: them throughout the remainder of training camp and then in 209 00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:25,760 Speaker 1: the season. In fact, last one here, hey, coach, um, 210 00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:28,840 Speaker 1: I wanted to ask you about Brett Haggy. He's one 211 00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:33,559 Speaker 1: of only three undrafted guys that that you sign. Um, 212 00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:36,000 Speaker 1: what do you like about the kid? And you know 213 00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:38,600 Speaker 1: he's getting a lot of opportunities right now with Jonathan 214 00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:42,360 Speaker 1: Harrison out. What has he shown you so far? Well, 215 00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:43,679 Speaker 1: I like the way it works, and that's in a 216 00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:46,000 Speaker 1: meeting and on the field, you know, And you can 217 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,080 Speaker 1: tell a lot about the demeanor of young players with 218 00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:50,319 Speaker 1: how they handle correction. Obviously, as a rookie there's me 219 00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:52,400 Speaker 1: a lot of correction. That's not a fault of Brett 220 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:53,960 Speaker 1: or any of the rookie right away. It's just the nature. 221 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:55,439 Speaker 1: They don't know it all yet and they've got to 222 00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:57,960 Speaker 1: keep learning and experiencing it. One thing I like is 223 00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:01,200 Speaker 1: he responds to correction the right way. Um, he's looking 224 00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:02,880 Speaker 1: to do an exactly the way you know the coaches 225 00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:05,560 Speaker 1: wanted to do it within our concept and schemes. And 226 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:07,679 Speaker 1: that's something that's a challenge sometimes the different players from 227 00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:09,280 Speaker 1: different places because they come and they have a way, 228 00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:11,520 Speaker 1: they've been successful at doing something and they have to 229 00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:13,760 Speaker 1: understand that the technique maybe a little bit different how 230 00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:15,920 Speaker 1: it fits into the big picture. But I like the 231 00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:18,240 Speaker 1: way he works. He's a tough dude. He's got a 232 00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:21,360 Speaker 1: lot of mental intensity about him. He's smart, he communicates well. 233 00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:24,080 Speaker 1: It kind of helps the center position obviously, But the 234 00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:25,920 Speaker 1: one thing that stand out by him so far is 235 00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:28,840 Speaker 1: just his commitment to improve in his work ethic. You know, 236 00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:31,040 Speaker 1: he's that quiet guy that when he's away from the coaches, 237 00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:32,600 Speaker 1: you can kind of catch him come around the corner 238 00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:34,760 Speaker 1: and he's, you know, holding court a little bit. But 239 00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:36,800 Speaker 1: you know, he's a he's a good student in classroom. 240 00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:37,920 Speaker 1: He's a hard worker on the field.
