1
00:00:01,920 --> 00:00:04,520
Speaker 1: It's been fun playing the game. I love, you know,

2
00:00:04,559 --> 00:00:08,040
Speaker 1: competing with my teammates against some warm weather. So it

3
00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:09,560
Speaker 1: feels like traditional camp.

4
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:15,040
Speaker 2: Bobby, you see, you know, even going back to the

5
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:17,720
Speaker 2: offseason when they're putting these pieces together and bringing in

6
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:19,280
Speaker 2: new guys on the defense.

7
00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:20,160
Speaker 3: And what you had coming back.

8
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:23,680
Speaker 2: I know it's only eight practices in camp, but is

9
00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:27,120
Speaker 2: this coming together the way you had hoped being in

10
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:28,680
Speaker 2: that middle of that defense from.

11
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:30,080
Speaker 3: Front to back a hundred percent?

12
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:32,440
Speaker 1: You know, great trust and you know our head coach

13
00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:35,040
Speaker 1: in the front office, but we got a lot of

14
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:37,600
Speaker 1: dynamic pieces on our defense from the back end, the

15
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:41,440
Speaker 1: leadership and the communication from the safeties, from you know,

16
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:43,840
Speaker 1: the athletic ability, the ball skills of the corner position,

17
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:47,360
Speaker 1: and you know obviously just how dynamic and athletic are

18
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:50,159
Speaker 1: pass rushes up front. You know, we're we're putting the

19
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:52,360
Speaker 1: building blocks together to be a very fearsome defense.

20
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:54,880
Speaker 2: I think Dex said when he came out here on

21
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 2: day one, the idea of they've talked about it in

22
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 2: the past rush mediums, but also you guys have talked

23
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 2: about as a group, you don't stop the run. None

24
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:07,760
Speaker 2: of that pass rush matters. How how does that come together?

25
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 2: What are you focusing on, I know, collectively, but what

26
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:14,120
Speaker 2: what needs to happen for the run defense to come together.

27
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, what we say is you got to earn the

28
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 1: right to rush the passer, and you know that's being

29
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:21,959
Speaker 1: dominant on first and second down, creating TFLs, getting knocked

30
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 1: back up front, playing downhill at the linebacker positions. So uh,

31
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:28,319
Speaker 1: you know, as we go through camps, camp and you know,

32
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 1: go through these practices, and I feel like it's just

33
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 1: get building that continuity of the unit where the safeties

34
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 1: understand how the D lines fitting, the D line understands

35
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:40,480
Speaker 1: how the run linebackers are fitting, and et cetera. So, uh,

36
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 1: you know, we we've been doing great work there. Obviously

37
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 1: the work's not done, but we've been very detailed throughout

38
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 1: that process. Any somatic changes to help their run defense, yeah,

39
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 1: a little bit.

40
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 3: We got some movement.

41
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 1: Obviously, we got some new dynamic pieces up front that

42
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 1: can you know, create some havoc and create some knockback.

43
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 1: But I feel like it's just guys, you know, understanding

44
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 1: the details of the position, the details of their job.

45
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 3: Uh.

46
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 1: You know, Shane is a you know, schematic mastermind. So

47
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 1: I feel like as as we're going through these practices

48
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:12,080
Speaker 1: and we're understanding his you know, philosophical mind of you know,

49
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 1: how he wants guys to play defense and executing the

50
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:16,960
Speaker 1: techniques and fundamentals of each position.

51
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 3: Uh, you know we're only getting better as you're back.

52
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:26,079
Speaker 1: Great, fantastic, you know, feel healthy. You know, I'm very

53
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:30,799
Speaker 1: fortunate for you know, Ronnie Aaron, coach, Dave's taking care

54
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 1: of me and you know, just working with the GPS

55
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 1: low management stuff. But I feel great, I feel blessed

56
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 1: playing the game.

57
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 3: I love.

58
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 2: Has any he stod out about due niracy in the past, Tomong,

59
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 2: just how he's moving, how he's reacting.

60
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 1: A little bit one hundred percent, his explosiveness and his instincts.

61
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 1: You know, as a rookie, it's not easy to be

62
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:50,680
Speaker 1: thrown up there at you know, different positions, whether you're

63
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:52,360
Speaker 1: lining up at three tech or at end or at

64
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:53,240
Speaker 1: inside linebacker.

65
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 3: And uh, he's executing well, and he's executing with speed.

66
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 1: So uh, you know, I've been very encouraged by what

67
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 1: he's done, very impressed, and you know, I'm excited for

68
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:01,519
Speaker 1: what he's going to bring to this unit.

69
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 3: Moment with him, like it's unusual. A rookie's not supposed

70
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 3: to do that.

71
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 1: I mean, I would just I would say to the

72
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 1: explosive and instincts. You know, you put him inside linebacker,

73
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 1: and he's not necessarily trepidacious or asking what to do.

74
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 1: You know, he's got that demeanor and mentality he's going

75
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:21,360
Speaker 1: to make a play at whatever position you line him

76
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 1: up as.

77
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 3: So.

78
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 1: Uh, you know, he's just a dog football player and

79
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:28,359
Speaker 1: I'm excited he's he's on my team.

80
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 3: What's that like off the field? Like? Is he quiet?

81
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 3: Is he louder? Is he confident? I would say he's

82
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 3: a quiet, confident guy.

83
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 1: I mean as a rookie, I feel like, you know,

84
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 1: he he's understanding that it's better to listen as opposed

85
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 1: to talk. But uh, you know, as I get to

86
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 1: know him more, you know he's he's got a dominant

87
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 1: personality and it shows on the field. Here's been a

88
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 1: lot of talk about the safeties with Drawn came in

89
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 1: as a leader and Tyler stuff into that role.

90
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 3: How does that help you? You know, in the middle

91
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 3: of the defense, it's big. You know.

92
00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 1: I talked to those guys probably more than anybody on

93
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 1: the field except know Micah or Moose. But you know,

94
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 1: just kind of empowering those guys, you know, to to

95
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 1: speak up in meetings, speak up on the field because

96
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 1: they've got the best vantage point in the field.

97
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 3: Uh. And they're both such great leaders, you know.

98
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:17,920
Speaker 1: Javon uh being a former captain, being a veteran and

99
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 1: Nuban just his personality and leadership he has at such

100
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:22,719
Speaker 1: a young age. You know, both those guys are you know,

101
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 1: bolster the unit big, big time. I'm wondering, what do

102
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 1: you think when people say this should be one of

103
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:30,599
Speaker 1: the best pass rushers in the league.

104
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:33,919
Speaker 3: What do I think about that? Uh? You know, I

105
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:36,119
Speaker 3: think it's a I think it's a great challenge. Uh.

106
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:38,240
Speaker 1: And I know the mentality those guys up front Decks

107
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:41,039
Speaker 1: k von Burns, Abdul that they don't want anything handed

108
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 1: to them, and they talk about it every day. You know,

109
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,359
Speaker 1: they say, we're great on paper, but we haven't shown

110
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:47,600
Speaker 1: anything yet. So Uh, they're putting in the work, They're

111
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 1: putting the detail and you know, I'm excited for that

112
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 1: product to show on game day.

113
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 2: Have you seen tangible evidence for you You had two

114
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 2: rookies last year in Nuben and Phillips that were a

115
00:04:57,800 --> 00:04:59,719
Speaker 2: part of this defense. But you could see, I mean

116
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 2: they that Middley said, you know, they were swimming a

117
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:04,360
Speaker 2: little bit, maybe Drew a little bit more than Tyler.

118
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 2: Just curious what tangebly you've seen from the two of them,

119
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 2: and will kind of lead you could kind of expect for.

120
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,840
Speaker 3: A year two Yeah, big time. I mean, Drew is

121
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 3: a freak athlete.

122
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 1: Uh So for him, you know, he's got all Pro

123
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl in his future. It's just, you know, as

124
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:21,279
Speaker 1: he gets mentally more in tune with the game and

125
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 1: understanding concepts and playing the game, you know, playing ahead

126
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:27,599
Speaker 1: of the game, seeing those pre snap indicators. I send

127
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 1: him in meetings every day, and you know, I see

128
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 1: the notes he's taken, the questions he's asking.

129
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:32,920
Speaker 3: So it's cool to see that maturation.

130
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 1: Uh and then Newbn he's he's just he's such a

131
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:39,359
Speaker 1: leader that you know, just as time goes he's gonna

132
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 1: you know, step into that role and get even more confident.

133
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 1: So I feel like he's just learning from you know,

134
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 1: some of the pitfalls and mistakes of his rookie year

135
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:48,840
Speaker 1: and you know, going through practices. But he's a very

136
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 1: sharp kid, and you know, I'm very excited for him.

137
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 3: He's the turnover chess. Actually it's cool.

138
00:05:56,120 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, actually rally guys by, Like obviously didn't get a

139
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 2: lot of takeaways last year.

140
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:04,360
Speaker 3: Guys are bringing that out. Is that gimmicky or does

141
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 3: that actually fire guys up?

142
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 1: No, fires guys up. You know, whatever you can do

143
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 1: to create more buying, I think it's better. You know,

144
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:15,599
Speaker 1: we're with each other, you know, eighteen hours of a day,

145
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 1: like we we live, breathe and die football. So you know, however,

146
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:22,360
Speaker 1: you can get guys more involved, more juiced up to

147
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 1: create a turnover to you know, affect the game even

148
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 1: even better.

149
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 3: What are you seeing from the offensive line, Like, it's

150
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:34,920
Speaker 3: a group that I'm sorry this was asked them laid over, Like, Uh,

151
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:37,680
Speaker 3: it's a group that's pretty much the same as last year.

152
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:40,360
Speaker 3: We're going against them, like a lot rides on them.

153
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:42,160
Speaker 3: What are you seeing from them across the ball in

154
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:42,840
Speaker 3: these practices?

155
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, physicality. I go against those guys every day and

156
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 1: you know, I'm I'm physical. I'm punching them, I'm hitting
