1
00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:03,480
Speaker 1: How much did you get out of the Detroit practices?

2
00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:07,040
Speaker 2: A lot. I mean, you know, sometimes going into it,

3
00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:09,200
Speaker 2: you're not the happiest about joint practices. There's a lot

4
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:11,119
Speaker 2: of fights and stuff like that that happens. But you know,

5
00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:12,920
Speaker 2: I think both teams did a good job of not

6
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:16,560
Speaker 2: doing that and got some good competition and working. And

7
00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:19,400
Speaker 2: you know, we go against the same guy so much

8
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:21,400
Speaker 2: in camp. You know our own teammates that it's good

9
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:23,479
Speaker 2: to switch it up and go against a different technique,

10
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:27,240
Speaker 2: a different scheme, a different team. What changed from year,

11
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:30,800
Speaker 2: one year or two schematically put you guys at fun.

12
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:35,440
Speaker 2: I'm not sure too much has changed right now. But

13
00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:39,040
Speaker 2: overall as a player, I just feel more comfortable in

14
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:41,280
Speaker 2: the system, just because I've had a year of it

15
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:45,400
Speaker 2: under my belt. I'm not so much focused on learning

16
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:47,839
Speaker 2: the plays. I'm more focused on how to execute the

17
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 2: players now. You know, there's a little bit of a

18
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:51,640
Speaker 2: difference in you know, trying to figure out where I

19
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:54,360
Speaker 2: need to be and now I'm figuring out what's the

20
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 2: best way I can do get to that spot, you

21
00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 2: know what I mean. So it's a little bit different.

22
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 2: I'm more focused on technique and stuff like that. More

23
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 2: than learning to playbook.

24
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:08,319
Speaker 1: Wink shared yesterday that he pretty much asked Kvo for

25
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 1: more in front of the defense during Keep It Real period.

26
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 1: As a guy who's been a premier player in the

27
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:17,679
Speaker 1: league on defense, if a coach does call you directly

28
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 1: to step up, is that something that sometimes is called

29
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:23,760
Speaker 1: for like that you actually welcome as a player for

30
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 1: a coach to do.

31
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 2: I mean, I would say so as a player, I've

32
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 2: never been I've never wanted a coach to be a

33
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:32,120
Speaker 2: yes man. You know. That's the coach's job is to

34
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 2: push us and get the best potential out of us

35
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:36,680
Speaker 2: as they can, and sometimes it takes that little extra

36
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 2: push and fire under us to get us going. And honestly,

37
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 2: and my you know, going on nine years of playing,

38
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:46,119
Speaker 2: I've never had a coach keep it real like that before.

39
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 2: And I think the guys respected, honestly. You know, there's

40
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 2: sometimes in camp guys are trying to make a team

41
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 2: and stuff like that, and they don't really know how

42
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 2: the coaches see them or where they fit on the

43
00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 2: roster and stuff like that. And then those Keep It

44
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 2: Real meetings, he goes down every single player. It's not

45
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 2: just Kavon or not just me or not just anybody.

46
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 2: It's a he addresses every single individual and lets you

47
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:09,680
Speaker 2: know exactly how he feels. And uh, I think the

48
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 2: guy's respected by how much is when the realist coach

49
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 2: you had.

50
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 1: What's by how much is when the realist coach that

51
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:19,519
Speaker 1: you've had.

52
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 2: I don't know how by how much? But like I said,

53
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 2: I'm going onto my year nine and that's the first

54
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:30,920
Speaker 2: time that I've seen that, and uh it you know,

55
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 2: it eliminates a lot of wondering, a lot of like chattering,

56
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 2: meaning like sometimes guys will go into the locker room

57
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 2: and be like, you know, I don't know how coach

58
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 2: feels about me, or I don't know how this guy

59
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 2: sees me here and stuff like that. But you know

60
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 2: he does these like pretty often, and he doesn't throughout

61
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 2: the season. He doesn't, you know, anytime it's necessary, and uh,

62
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 2: I think it's it's valuable for the defense and valuable

63
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 2: for the team.

64
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:00,400
Speaker 1: Whatever it was, it was bothering you really camp that

65
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 1: took a few days, that quiet down and like you

66
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:05,079
Speaker 1: feel completely healthy right now?

67
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I felt great. I felt great then.

68
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 2: I think, you know, cultures were just taking care of me,

69
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 2: just going into your nine, got a little bit of

70
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 2: that treatment like that. Yeah, I like that
