3
00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:10,239
Speaker 2: was a great trip. I don't think a lot of

4
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:12,800
Speaker 2: people know how many fans that we have in Germany,

5
00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:16,000
Speaker 2: but it was great to go to Dusseldorphin for a

6
00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:20,240
Speaker 2: great cause and everything for just a situation of flag

7
00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:21,520
Speaker 2: football overseas for sure.

8
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:27,080
Speaker 3: How are the voluntary workouts I've been going so far?

9
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:28,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're going great.

10
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:30,880
Speaker 2: It's a great thing to end up seeing everyone back

11
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:33,360
Speaker 2: in the building, you know, talking about what everyone did,

12
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:35,599
Speaker 2: you know, in their off season and stuff, but now

13
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:40,959
Speaker 2: we're back and taking it, uh, one day at a time. Yeah,

14
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:43,320
Speaker 2: I ski your brother step On DIDs just haven't competed

15
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:43,920
Speaker 2: against them.

16
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:47,640
Speaker 1: What makes him a tough cover? What is your thoughts

17
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:48,720
Speaker 1: on happening this part?

18
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:52,000
Speaker 2: He's been in the league for a little minute, and

19
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:55,640
Speaker 2: you know, he has one of those unique traits when

20
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 2: it comes down to he's very strong as a receiver.

21
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:00,920
Speaker 2: You know, he's not the crazy the size that people

22
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 2: always think, but just having him on the team is

23
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 2: great to have as well.

24
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 3: Are you see been through a couple of iterations of

25
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:08,759
Speaker 3: different coaching staffs.

26
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:10,960
Speaker 4: Now at the Patriots, what are your first impressions and

27
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 4: working with this current staff.

28
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:13,480
Speaker 3: In the building.

29
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I actually met Mike Rabel during the pre draft

30
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:21,479
Speaker 2: process whenever he was at Tennessee. He's a great guy

31
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 2: whenever I met him back then, and I'm happy to

32
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 2: be back in the building and he brings that incitement.

33
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:27,960
Speaker 2: And then also he's one of those guys to where

34
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 2: whenever we are doing something, he likes to be hands on.

35
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 2: So just having that in the building and this, you know,

36
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 2: the excitement, having the music playing and everything like that

37
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 2: in the hallways is great to be around.

38
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 4: Hands on.

39
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:39,320
Speaker 3: Is he like spotting weights.

40
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 4: For you guys?

41
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:41,679
Speaker 2: I'm saying that, but I know whenever we get out

42
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:44,399
Speaker 2: there on the football field, he'll probably be grabbing a bag,

43
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 2: helping the d line and helping us and everything like

44
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 2: that too.

45
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 5: As DV So, so pre draft, did you take a

46
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 5: thirty there meeting him at the comline?

47
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 1: What were those conversations like him?

48
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I took a pre draft visit and basically just

49
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 2: getting to know him as a person and everything. Whenever

50
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 2: I did talk to him, I was like, you know,

51
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 2: it was great to end up talking to him, and

52
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:09,799
Speaker 2: then it was like normal conversations and everything. So to

53
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 2: comes to Travis Hunter or Travis Huns comes to you.

54
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:16,919
Speaker 1: I definitely understand the situation of playing.

55
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 2: Both sides, but his level of how he was doing

56
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 2: it and everything like that was definitely different from mine.

57
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 2: But I hope the best for him, you know, just

58
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 2: being able to do it in the league. It's definitely

59
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 2: hard to do, but I hope that he, you know,

60
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 2: takes advantage of the opportunity.

61
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 1: For sure.

62
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:33,520
Speaker 4: Do you hope you play.

63
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:34,080
Speaker 5: Both sides again?

64
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:38,520
Speaker 2: Same question every single time. I mean, if it happens,

65
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 2: it happens. But my main thing is to, you know,

66
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:43,359
Speaker 2: learn the new defense and then kind of go from there.

67
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 5: So you think it's possible to play both sides on

68
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:48,639
Speaker 5: a full time basis like he wants to do.

69
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:53,119
Speaker 2: I feel like it's one of those situations to where

70
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:55,960
Speaker 2: whenever people were first saying, you know, you can't really

71
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 2: play both sides in general in the league, you know,

72
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 2: and then I get here and then eventually, you know,

73
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 2: I start playing, but playing both sides, I'm not gonna

74
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:06,799
Speaker 2: say you can't do it, but it's a very long season.

75
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:11,279
Speaker 3: Learning learning did your defense he's not processed heart already?

76
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, for sure. We actually started installing and everything

77
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 1: like that.

78
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 2: Today, I feel as though, you know, we're taking it

79
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:20,640
Speaker 2: one day at a time, so we're not It's not

80
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 2: one of those situations to where they're throwing all the

81
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 2: playbook at you at one time, but we're taking the

82
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:25,639
Speaker 2: day by day.

83
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:27,639
Speaker 1: What are you've seen so far? How different is it

84
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 1: from the past defenses?

85
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 2: The main thing that I would say is, uh, the terminology.

86
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 2: I feel as though, you know, everyone has a certain

87
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 2: way to where how they love to install. But the

88
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 2: main thing that we have to learn is to different

89
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 2: verbiage and the terminology. So just learning that, Marcus, as

90
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 2: often as you go through change in the NFL, this.

91
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 3: Officer is not only the coaching staff. The changes in

92
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 3: a lot of room, especially at the defense. What's the

93
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,120
Speaker 3: feeling when you walk in there and the guilty So

94
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 3: they got these community leaders on that defense. There is

95
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 3: more and you're getting know other guys would be in

96
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 3: that position ship this year for free agency.

97
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, in this league, I mean, change happens twenty four

98
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 2: to seven and due to that, you know, we all

99
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 2: do respect, you know all the guys that ended up

100
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 2: coming through the locker room before. But it's a new

101
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:18,559
Speaker 2: year and We're happy for the guys that are gonna

102
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:20,719
Speaker 2: be captains and guys that's gonna you know, pave the

103
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 2: way for us for the future.

104
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 3: Well, in your case is now from Europe position now

105
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 3: where you have enough first basis organization to qualifiers with

106
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:32,280
Speaker 3: the most tender patriot tis what does what does it mean? Beautiful?

107
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 4: Now?

108
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:33,839
Speaker 5: Does that change?

109
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 1: Yeah?

110
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 2: The main thing I would say of how it changes

111
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 2: for me is I'm always a lead by example type

112
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 2: of guy. But then the challenge is also like I'm

113
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 2: not crazy vocal whenever it comes down to it, but

114
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 2: uh now I need to start, you know, being a

115
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 2: little bit more vocal and just kind of going from there, right, okay.

116
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 3: Just waiting to trail a little lar system.

117
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 1: Josh, allus is a passion trels completely new year. What

118
00:04:57,800 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 1: are you seeing?

119
00:04:58,240 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 5: Perm it?

120
00:04:58,600 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 3: And just what's it important?

121
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 2: We actually met and everything whenever I did come in

122
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:05,160
Speaker 2: a little earlier in February.

123
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:07,839
Speaker 1: Great guy, you know, passionate guy.

124
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 2: You could tell that he loves the game of football

125
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 2: and just happy to be in a building. End up

126
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:14,719
Speaker 2: you know, learning, end up teaching us the things that

127
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 2: we need to learn.

128
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 4: You played, Josh McDaniels, I believe your rookie season.

129
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 1: What do you remember about the preparation process getting ready

130
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 1: for his offense?

131
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 2: Oh, Josh, he's top of the top. Whenever we did

132
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:29,159
Speaker 2: play Vegas, it was a lot of different formations. You know,

133
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 2: you never knew what they would kind of do in

134
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 2: certain situations. But it was just one of those situations

135
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:36,280
Speaker 2: to where you definitely have to lock in, watch a

136
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 2: lot of film and kind of go from there. So

137
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 2: he has some tricks in the bag for sure whenever

138
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 2: we played them.

139
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 1: So just it's crazy.

140
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:43,480
Speaker 4: Marcus.

141
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 5: You mentioned being here in February. How much have you

142
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 5: been in a facility? What are you trying to get

143
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 5: done when you're here?

144
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 1: First off, I took advantage of my off season. That

145
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 1: was the first thing. I was able to spend time

146
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 1: with family. That was the main thing. And then I

147
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:01,280
Speaker 1: actually just came back so.

148
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 5: Vision to be liked to play forball coach team.

149
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 2: The main thing is, uh, not looking too far into

150
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:11,040
Speaker 2: the future. You know, we're happy to be back with

151
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 2: some people. You know, they're like, oh man, the season's coming,

152
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:16,039
Speaker 2: but it's way more things we have to do. Like

153
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 2: I said, install we got OTAs, then we got training

154
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 2: camp and kind of going from there. So the excitement

155
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 2: is that we're in the room and we're in the building.

156
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:25,719
Speaker 2: And then also, like I said, just taking it one

157
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:27,160
Speaker 2: day at a time that semantically and I'm.

158
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 1: Focused on does he hammer that home?

159
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:29,280
Speaker 3: That point home?

160
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 1: Oh for sure?

161
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 2: You know, don't get overwhelmed basically, and just basically tell us,

162
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 2: you know, we're gonna take it slow and kind of

163
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 2: go from there.

164
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 5: Workers acid from the dude terminology. Conceptually, I think, strike

165
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 5: you about this defense and how would you describe it?

166
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 1: We just started, so it's still early.

167
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 3: You know.

168
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 2: I feel as though as time going that I can

169
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:49,919
Speaker 2: kind of answer that question, but it's still early.

170
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:51,799
Speaker 4: Playing as does break.

171
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 1: Wek it taste some kind of out now? Yeah, yeah,

172
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 1: no he does. He hits a lot of genres. So yeah,

173
00:06:57,440 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 1: how did you.

174
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 3: Say your interests the honest now when you have more

175
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 3: time to do it.

176
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:08,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, music has always been, you know, a thing that

177
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 2: I've loved. Being able to end up going to Germany

178
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 2: was kind of crazy. And then also, uh, what I

179
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 2: did was I came into the building and everything. I

180
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 2: met some kids out there and in Germany, and it

181
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 2: was kind of crazy because they ended up making a

182
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 2: song for me, and then I'm also going to be

183
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 2: recording to the song as well, so hopefully you know,

184
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 2: that does something to where the creative process, you know,

185
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 2: I'm trying to build with that and just kind of

186
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 2: go from.

187
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 5: There's the music different in Germany.

188
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 2: I feel as though the genre first off, the language.

189
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 2: Let's let's start there, guys. Let's let's definitely start there.

190
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 2: But honestly, you know, it's I don't feel as though

191
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 2: as any difference because they have the same genres over

192
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 2: there as well, So that was the main thing.

193
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 1: Language for sure.

194
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 3: You have to spend your time with Carlton Davis so

195
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 3: far and have been the first impressions.

196
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:57,440

00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 4: wife because she came up with me this weekend to

229
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:25,080
Speaker 4: look at houses and whatnot, and we drove through the

230
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 4: campus and it's just crazy how how beautiful and how

231
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 4: far it's come since since I was there, The football facilities,

232
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 4: all of it, Like, it's just crazy. I just I'd

233
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 4: imagine that it costs a little more to go there now,

234
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:40,600
Speaker 4: but now it's definitely a beautiful campus and I can't

235
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 4: wait to get back on campus and you know, be

236
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:43,320
Speaker 4: around that football team as well.

237
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 1: For playing for Mike.

238
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 3: Rable and what do you mean to your early part of.

239
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:53,000
Speaker 4: Her Oh, He's meant a lot. He's played a big

240
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 4: role in my development as a player and also as

241
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:58,680
Speaker 4: a person. And I was excited to come back because like,

242
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 4: he knows my skill set, he knows how you know,

243
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 4: I operate, and I think throughout my career he and

244
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 4: his staff hasn have done a great job of putting

245
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 4: me in positions to go out and be productive and

246
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:08,960
Speaker 4: help the team. And that's what I'm looking forward to.

247
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 4: And that was one of the main reason why I

248
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 4: came here, because I knew Raide and his staff knew me.

249
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 4: The familiarity with the scheme and all of it. It

250
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 4: just fits, you know, what I do with my skill set.

251
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:22,959
Speaker 4: Can you walk us through that process up when you

252
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 4: got released and deciding where you're going to play next?

253
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 3: Like, did you know immediately that you wanted to reach out.

254
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 2: To Mic and like set this up?

255
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 4: Did go? Yeah? I mean it was definitely uh that

256
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 4: was definitely kind of the case. Like I, once I

257
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 4: saw how things were going, and you know, the writing

258
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:41,080
Speaker 4: was on the wall, this was definitely a place that

259
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:43,320
Speaker 4: I wanted to be. You know, I was getting excited

260
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:45,840
Speaker 4: about the staff he was putting together, and I just

261
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 4: feel like this was the right place for me, and

262
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 4: I'm excited to be here.

263
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 5: Marcus Jultz was just telling us about his initial impressions

264
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:55,079
Speaker 5: of a Mike Rabel off season program. Music played in

265
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 5: the hallways? What else can your do temmates expect? Having

266
00:10:58,120 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 5: been through several programs of Mike.

267
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:03,840
Speaker 4: This the year, Uh, just like upbeat. He wants everybody

268
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 4: to be excited when they come to work. He's big

269
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:09,599
Speaker 4: on that. He's big on energy, and yeah, that's just

270
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:12,800
Speaker 4: who he is. He's you know, everybody looks at him

271
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:14,760
Speaker 4: as his head coach, but he really he's really just

272
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:16,320
Speaker 4: one of the boys, a locker room guy, and I

273
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:18,680
Speaker 4: really mean that. He wants to get to know you,

274
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 4: know about your family and everything that goes along with

275
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:25,559
Speaker 4: being in a relationship with you. And that's pretty much.

276
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:28,440
Speaker 4: He's the same guy every day, too, very consistent person.

277
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 4: He's not going to switch it up on you at all,

278
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 4: and that's what you can expect. And he's big. He's

279
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:35,160
Speaker 4: big on treating you how you treat the team. You

280
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:37,400
Speaker 4: treat the team of respect. He's got nothing but respect

281
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 4: for you. The same question and prables music teams. I mean,

282
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:48,280
Speaker 4: it's all right. It's not something that I buy to

283
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 4: every day, but it gets the juices gone. I guess. So, yeah,

284
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 4: I mean whatever flows his boat.

285
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, Herold, you.

294
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 4: plan or you know, trying to figure out, you know,

298
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:31,400
Speaker 4: out who they have on the roster on that side

299
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 4: of the ball, what are their skill sets and putting

300
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:35,079
Speaker 4: them in a position to be successful. I feel like

301
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:36,439
Speaker 4: that's what they've done me and that's what they've done

302
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 4: with a lot of great players in Tennessee and what

303
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 4: I expect them to do here. I feel like we

304
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 4: have a very talented roster, especially on the defensive side

Speaker 4: they're definitely a tight knit group and and I like

309
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 4: that you can expect them to because you know throughout

310
00:12:56,400 --> 00:13:00,679

317
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:18,040
Speaker 1: a mic rable defense working on all cylinders?

318
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:20,760
Speaker 3: And what's that like to watch? Nah?

319
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:23,720
Speaker 4: I mean, it's amazing because, like I said, they do

320
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:26,720
Speaker 4: a great job of identifying player skill sets and putting

321
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:28,800
Speaker 4: them out there in positions to succeed. And I think

322
00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:31,400
Speaker 4: the biggest thing that obviously we're going to pride ourselves

323
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 4: on is playing hard, playing fast. He really values effort

324
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:36,840
Speaker 4: and finish, especially on the defensive side of the ball.

325
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:38,440
Speaker 4: You want to see as many hats as you can

326
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:39,839
Speaker 4: in the picture at the end of the play around

327
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:41,840
Speaker 4: the ball. And I think as long as we maintain

328
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 4: our style of play that they're trying to implement here,

329
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:46,040
Speaker 4: even if you might not have fit up a run

330
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:49,320
Speaker 4: gap perfectly or getting played with the greatest technique, that

331
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:52,640
Speaker 4: style of play is what's gonna result and wins. You

332
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:54,000
Speaker 4: know what I'm saying. You don't have to worry about

333
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:55,600
Speaker 4: going out there and playing perfect because you know your

334
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:57,440
Speaker 4: boy in the back end, or the boy or the

335
00:13:57,440 --> 00:13:58,839
Speaker 4: guy next to who's going to have your back and

336
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:01,160
Speaker 4: make up for it with his effort and his style

337
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:01,559
Speaker 4: to play.

338
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:04,360
Speaker 5: You're used in so many different ways in Tennessee, but

339
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:06,680
Speaker 5: here specifically, pass rush has been a pretty big issue.

340
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:08,839
Speaker 5: So how would you describe yourself as a defender, even

341
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:09,920
Speaker 5: more specifically.

342
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:11,680
Speaker 4: As a pass rush Yeah, no, I kind of I

343
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:13,959
Speaker 4: pride myself on being versatile and productive. I want to

344
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 4: be a guy that, like you said, they can move

345
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:17,320
Speaker 4: me around, but also they can just keep me on

346
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:18,960
Speaker 4: the edge and I can win a one on one

347
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:20,880
Speaker 4: and I can go and be productive. But I want

348
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 4: to be that Swiss army knife as some say, or

349
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 4: whatever the case may be. But I pride myself on

350
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:29,360
Speaker 4: being productive, versatile, and consistent. I try to be as

351
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:32,880
Speaker 4: consistent as I can be each week, whether that's preparation, nutrition,

352
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 4: whatever the case may be. I try to be the

353
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:36,320
Speaker 4: same person every day, and I think that leads to

354
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 4: my best results. But yeah, I just want to be

355
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:40,480
Speaker 4: that versatile guy that they can move around and go

356
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 4: out and make plays for the team.

357
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 5: When you were in Tennessee with Mike for those six years,

358
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 5: you guys want more games as underdogs and basically every

359
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 5: team in the league. What were you guys doing differently

360
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:53,600
Speaker 5: than the thirty one other teams to be able to

361
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 5: win that many games when you weren't expected to win?

362
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:00,280
Speaker 4: Honestly, I think it was mainly just because we're such

363
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:03,320
Speaker 4: a close knit group and like we really valued each

364
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 4: other and we played hard for each other. We didn't

365
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 4: want to let each other down, and I think that

366
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:08,360
Speaker 4: showed on the film and on the tape.

367
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:09,680
Speaker 1: But also.

368
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 4: I feel like one of the main jobs as a

369
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:14,800
Speaker 4: for a head coach to make sure your teams prepared

370
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 4: situationally and all I know is as long as I've

371
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 4: played for Raves, there was never a situation I wasn't

372
00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 4: prepared for. Like I don't care what the score was

373
00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:25,360
Speaker 4: in the fourth quarter. I don't know. We just always

374
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:26,760
Speaker 4: had a feeling that we was gonna pull this out.

375
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:28,160
Speaker 4: It didn't matter what the score was going into the

376
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 4: fourth and we just always found a way to win.

377
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:32,920
Speaker 4: It's crazy. We just found a way to win. And

378
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:35,440
Speaker 4: that was just kind of the mentality. We just didn't

379
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 4: think we could could lose, to be honest, no matter

380
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:38,480
Speaker 4: what was going on in the game.

381
00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 3: You mentioned the weather, But what else do you remember

382
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:44,000
Speaker 3: about being in Boston or were there any spots in

383
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:48,800
Speaker 3: particular that you liked? Uh?

384
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 4: What do I remember? That was a while ago. I mean,

385
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 4: this is where I met my wife, so that's a

386
00:15:57,640 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 4: big us. My best friend, It's why I met here.

387
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:04,800
Speaker 4: Best spots that I used to eat at. I don't

388
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:06,440
Speaker 4: know if this place is still in business, but they

389
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:08,120
Speaker 4: used to have the space that was right down the

390
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:09,760
Speaker 4: street from BC where it was like twenty five cent

391
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 4: Wings or something like that, or Fugaku that's around BC.

392
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 4: That used to be a place that we used to

393
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 4: go to. It's top of the hub still here. It's

394
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:22,400
Speaker 4: not here no more. See, I got to get out

395
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 4: and explore. But it's just me right now. Families back

396
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:28,840
Speaker 4: in Tennessee. But yeah, I don't really. It's been a

397
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:31,640
Speaker 4: long time, but now I'm definitely excited to be here.

398
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 4: I know my family is juiced up to come here.

399
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:38,160
Speaker 4: A new experience for all of us, really, and yeah,

400
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 4: I think we're just all excited, ready to get to it,

401
00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 4: appreciate it,
