1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:05,280 Speaker 1: How you're right now. Well, it feels good. Yeah, kind 2 00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:08,280 Speaker 1: of working with the training staff every day, taking a 3 00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:11,119 Speaker 1: day at a time. But I felt good today getting 4 00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:14,480 Speaker 1: the rust off. However, I mean I got a doubt 5 00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:17,640 Speaker 1: his first practice. You know, I'm sure that we're published 6 00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:21,400 Speaker 1: something you work really trying to avoid, deserve every doubt 7 00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:23,239 Speaker 1: that you would be in this position going to get out, 8 00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:26,440 Speaker 1: you know, concerns that maybe big start you off. Yeah. 9 00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:29,040 Speaker 1: I mean I just kind of went through the off season, um, 10 00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:31,240 Speaker 1: the last I guess ten months coming up on ten 11 00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:34,400 Speaker 1: months now, UM, working on my knee every day and 12 00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:37,400 Speaker 1: just listening to training stuff, and then I got the 13 00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:40,400 Speaker 1: news yesterday. I was good to go and basically went 14 00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:42,320 Speaker 1: out there and I felt good at it. What's the 15 00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:44,600 Speaker 1: what's the plan? I mean, we can see it. I 16 00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:48,600 Speaker 1: don't think at all connected the live drows Uh So 17 00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:51,320 Speaker 1: is that sort of the plane moving forward? How long? 18 00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:53,280 Speaker 1: What do you what are your expectations in that and 19 00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:55,720 Speaker 1: every dark? Yeah? I think for me, it's just listening 20 00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:59,160 Speaker 1: to the trainers, UM, they kind of we'll slowly ramp 21 00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:01,960 Speaker 1: me up as we go, UM, being cautious with it, 22 00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:04,480 Speaker 1: and then we'll talk back and forth after each practice 23 00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:06,720 Speaker 1: to see if I can add some stuff in as 24 00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:10,520 Speaker 1: we keep moving through training camp. There's no doubt in 25 00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:12,680 Speaker 1: your mind now you're you're gonna be ready when you 26 00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:14,800 Speaker 1: see kind of that, right, Yeah. I mean for me, 27 00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:17,160 Speaker 1: it's just I mean I have no doubt for myself. 28 00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:19,120 Speaker 1: Just once again, I mean taking it one day at 29 00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:22,640 Speaker 1: a time. And then obviously today was just everyone asked 30 00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:24,160 Speaker 1: me like, hey, you pump, you pumped your pumps, and 31 00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:25,920 Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, I mean I just gotta take it, 32 00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:27,880 Speaker 1: take it first practice. I don't know, I never never 33 00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:29,840 Speaker 1: went out there for those of my first practice in 34 00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:33,280 Speaker 1: what ten months now, So it felt good though, Like 35 00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:36,960 Speaker 1: you're a guy who probably go everything about playing, which 36 00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:40,080 Speaker 1: probably felt you did the last couple of years. You know, 37 00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:42,200 Speaker 1: you got a new patis where are you with that? 38 00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:44,399 Speaker 1: And you know he's just getting be frustrating to not 39 00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:47,960 Speaker 1: you know, have only answers to the test get Oh. Yeah, 40 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:51,480 Speaker 1: I think it's just another challenge. Um. Obviously going to 41 00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:53,920 Speaker 1: my seventh year, I think this is my fifth defensive 42 00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:56,920 Speaker 1: coordinator or something like that. Um, so I've gotten used 43 00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:00,440 Speaker 1: to kind of going through um those procedures. I know 44 00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:02,720 Speaker 1: how to kind of attack it and just taking it 45 00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:04,880 Speaker 1: one day at a time, same thing as my knee 46 00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:11,240 Speaker 1: winks defect the next couple of years ago. What's good 47 00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:14,000 Speaker 1: about it for you? Yeah, I think it's just aggressive, 48 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:16,960 Speaker 1: he he kind of he allows the players to be 49 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:20,120 Speaker 1: in positions that they can thrive at. Um and just 50 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:22,639 Speaker 1: once again he trusts his guys go out there, and 51 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:25,080 Speaker 1: he gives a lot of freedom to kind of maneuver 52 00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:28,639 Speaker 1: around and communicate his defense more freedom thanking the past 53 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,000 Speaker 1: couple of years. But he says, Um, I mean I 54 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:34,399 Speaker 1: feel like both are both are different in their own ways. Um. 55 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:38,200 Speaker 1: I think both gave freedom, but just different concepts, different 56 00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:41,120 Speaker 1: ways of doing it. Is there any question in your 57 00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:44,480 Speaker 1: mind where that you can be the same Blake Martinez 58 00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:48,160 Speaker 1: before the injury is coming back off it? Oh? Yeah, 59 00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:50,160 Speaker 1: I mean it's always one of those things you think about. 60 00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:53,640 Speaker 1: But throughout my training and everything, every every aspect has 61 00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,080 Speaker 1: been better than I was when I previously hurt. My 62 00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:58,520 Speaker 1: didn't wasn't hurt. Um. So that's been the kind of 63 00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:02,079 Speaker 1: very positive thing for me moving forward and just kept 64 00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:03,880 Speaker 1: getting me more and more excited to get out there 65 00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:11,040 Speaker 1: on the field. You notice wearing the pavage helmets only 66 00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 1: when I like can see myself and like h classes 67 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,920 Speaker 1: and stuff, but overall you don't really don't really notice 68 00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:19,600 Speaker 1: it until someone kind of makes fun to see. Yeah, 69 00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:22,160 Speaker 1: what do you What do they tell you about it? Like, yeah, 70 00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:25,320 Speaker 1: I mean it's one of those things that's a scientifically 71 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:28,519 Speaker 1: proving it. It helps reduce concussions. I think they said 72 00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:30,880 Speaker 1: by if two people are wearing it and they hit 73 00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:33,800 Speaker 1: each other. Um. So anything that kind of can protect 74 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:36,400 Speaker 1: your brain. Especially for me, I want to prolong this 75 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:41,920 Speaker 1: thing um as long as possible. So I'm down. Oh yeah, 76 00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:43,920 Speaker 1: I know. I mean, you know, everyone wants to be 77 00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:45,880 Speaker 1: like swagged out nowadays when you have this big air 78 00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:47,800 Speaker 1: bag on the top of your helmet, you know, you're 79 00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:50,760 Speaker 1: a little noticeable. What was the toughest parked for me? 80 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:53,240 Speaker 1: You mentally going through that injury and not being able 81 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:55,320 Speaker 1: to be on the field. Yeah, I think it was 82 00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:57,520 Speaker 1: just watching other people doing what you love to do, 83 00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:00,280 Speaker 1: um and just wanted to be out there and and 84 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:02,880 Speaker 1: help your team win. And I think that's was the 85 00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:05,600 Speaker 1: toughest point. And try to do little things, whether it's 86 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:07,880 Speaker 1: coach up guys on the sideline and do whatever I 87 00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:09,640 Speaker 1: could in the meetings. But it's still not the same. 88 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:14,640 Speaker 1: I know tastes just a small sample, but with the 89 00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:16,800 Speaker 1: new regime, new coaching staff is there. Do you get 90 00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:19,880 Speaker 1: a sense of the atmosphere, the mindset, something that's different 91 00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:22,360 Speaker 1: about this year's camp. Yeah. I think for us it's 92 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:27,400 Speaker 1: just I don't know, it just feels it's hard, it's 93 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:29,159 Speaker 1: hard to compare to the other years, but just feels 94 00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:32,880 Speaker 1: like everybody's has such a high sense of urgency um 95 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:34,760 Speaker 1: once we step on the field, no matter what we're doing, 96 00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:38,920 Speaker 1: whether it's stretch lines, individuals, team period, every single aspect um, 97 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:40,800 Speaker 1: it just makes you excited to see. I feel a 98 00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:43,120 Speaker 1: little bit more like a training camp with you know, 99 00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:45,479 Speaker 1: with some fans here. Oh yeah, yeah. I mean I 100 00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:47,640 Speaker 1: tell guys all time, I came from Green Baity here, 101 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:49,719 Speaker 1: and like you're just used to that that type of 102 00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:51,839 Speaker 1: environment in both places, and so to be able to 103 00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:54,120 Speaker 1: have that again was was special.
